Chapter 2 In the Subway (1) The Woman in Black

In the subway, there are not many people, three by two.

Lin Chen held the briefcase in his arm, walked with his head bored, and the wind that blew from nowhere pasted a yellowed piece of paper on Lin Chen's face, he subconsciously shook his head, and the paper was blown away by the wind all of a sudden.

Lin Chen is a man who loves cleanliness very much, there are few such men, but the few of these men have become the best. The so-called best means that it is excessively clean, to be precise, it is clean.

Lin Chen is one of them.

Lin Chen frustratedly wiped his face lightly with the mouth of his sleeve, regretting that he didn't see the shape and shape of the paper clearly, after all, the paper was glued to his face, and he couldn't help but worry about the hygiene of the paper.

He frowned slightly, what kind of paper could it be?

It is best for someone whose briefcase accidentally flew out of their briefcase? The briefcase is fairly clean! Small advertising paper is also fine! It doesn't matter what kind of paper it is, as long as it's not toilet paper or napkins that someone else wiped their butts or blew their noses!

Suddenly I remembered that another problem that made him even more unhappy was that it seemed that only dead people would cover their faces with cloth and paper, and they would not feel a little filthy.

He looked back, but there was not a trace of the yellow paper as far as his eyes could see.

Lin Chen froze.

The security staff is estimated to have left work! Lin Chen actually walked down the steps directly without going through the security check.

On the ceiling, the blower is still blowing, making a not too harsh "whine" sound, cold and sound, not like the sound of a machine, more like someone crying, in the silent subway, how to listen, how to make people feel panicked.

Looking around, there was not a single passenger in the empty subway passage, only the light above his head flickering on and on.

The wind brought coolness, Lin Chen put up the collar of his windbreaker, the collar was still a little short, he just shrunk his neck, and he couldn't cover his ears.

The not-so-pleasant "whine" sound still poured into his ears uninvited.

The train didn't take long to arrive, and when he got on the train, Lin Chen glanced at his watch, it was eleven forty-nine.

When is the watch coming soon?

It's so late, is there still a subway coming?

In Lin Chen's memory, the last subway train was 11:10.

I'm really glad that I can still get on the subway at this point, maybe the subway has adjusted the time.

The car was empty, Lin Chen found a place to sit down by the door, he leaned his head back, leaned against the windowpane, and closed his eyes.

The train grunted forward, only to hear the door open and close beside him, close and open again, I don't know how many stops have passed, Lin Chen is going to sit at the end anyway, so he doesn't pay attention to which station he has arrived.

After a busy day, Lin Chen enjoyed the rare silence in the subway, he tilted his head sideways, still with his eyes closed, if it weren't for the slight shaking of the car and the occasional "clang" sound of the railroad tracks, Lin Chen would probably have fallen asleep.

A cold and gloomy chill hit him, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that there were only two people in this carriage, one of him, opposite him, there was a woman sitting opposite him, her head leaned forward slightly, she didn't seem to look at him opposite, but lowered her eyes, staring at the floor, her red lips were closed, her jaw was slightly sharpened, and her long black hair, which had been dyed with ink, also hung forward, covering the faces on both sides, revealing only the narrow one in the middle.

Lin Chen knows that many girls now like this head shape, which is long, straight, and full of drape.

It can be seen that she is very delicate, but she is surprisingly fair, and she can also be seen to be a beautiful woman.

Lin Chen also came to his senses, he crossed his right leg over his left leg, and continued to look at the woman opposite, she was wrapped in a long black silk embroidered gown, and underneath it was a pair of blinding orange narrow-legged pants.

She seemed to notice that he was looking at her, and for some reason, her head was lowered.

Two silent strangers, facing each other, finally shook to the terminal.

When Lin Chen walked out of the platform, he didn't see the woman, he originally thought she was walking behind him, he looked back, but there was still no trace of the woman.

At this time, it was already completely dark, and Lin Chen regretted it a little.

He's thinking that it's so late, it's a suburb again, maybe he could just talk to her, maybe he could send her, maybe it would be a nice affair, maybe...

Maybe it's not as good as maybe, if Xu Aqi knows about it, this little girl will kill him, isn't it okay to find trouble for herself!

Lin Chen had been walking for two or three months from the subway station to his home, and since he moved here, he had to walk this long forest path alone.

The apartment that Lin Chen rented was on the other side of the forest, and when he came to see the house, it was daytime, and he didn't think it was far from the subway.

The landlord said that there were a lot of people who came to see the house, it was close to the subway, there were woods, and the air was fresh! This land, this rent, if you don't want it, I'll rent it to someone else.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the scenery of the suburbs adds a bit of coolness and tranquility.

Lin Chen walked around the apartment, although it has undergone the transformation brought about by development, but the strong atmosphere of the countryside, farmland villages, trees and miscellaneous forests, coupled with the breeze and sunshine, made him have a kind of joy of picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan.

He didn't think much of it, and soon paid the rent for the whole year.

It was completely dark, the moon seemed to be wrapped in yellow veil, not too bright, the cold moonlight shone through the branches, and Lin Chen could vaguely see the path ahead.

A crow fluttered its wings and flew through the trees, and suddenly "quacked", startling Lin Chen.

How come this damn road doesn't even have a street light!

It is understandable that the supporting measures cannot keep up with the new community, but at least a street lamp should be installed!

In the middle of the night, it was dark all around, and walking this road was purely refining my courage! No problem can also scare out the problem!

What are the funds pulled by the municipal government?

I don't know which corrupt official was greedy again! What a fuck!

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, why didn't he think of it when he rented a room at that time! This damn landlord! It's so urgent! He spat on the ground.

It's so dark!

He had to keep an eye on the road under his feet, lest he accidentally step on the air or trip over a stone.

What is that?

Among the withered yellow bushes and blades of grass, there seemed to be something, the red was unusually conspicuous in the withered yellow, Lin Chen stopped, stared at the thing for a while, and then approached it.

Actually, a red dress!

It looks very similar to the one he gave to Xu Aqi!

Who accidentally left it here?

God would really joke with himself, Lin Chen smiled bitterly, you must know that if you can pick up such a beautiful red dress, you won't spend that unjust money!

Lin Chen thought about it, stretched out his hand to pick it up, and quickly retracted his hand.

No way!

With such a precious red dress, those who lose it may come back to look for it! It's better not to take it away! What's more, I have already bought one for Xu Aqi, there is no need to pick up this one again! Besides, a piece of someone else's old clothes is not worth picking up at all, and I am not poor enough to do this!

Thinking of the thought that popped up in an instant just now, Lin Chen really wanted to give himself a mouthful!

How could I have thought of picking up a piece of clothing that someone else had lost!

How can you be so poor!

Alas! Shame on you!

Lin Chen walked and walked, and suddenly felt that the wind was blowing, and the dust, sand, and dry dung of livestock were flying in the air, and a few leaves were blown down from the trees by the wind, flashing in front of his eyes, and happened to hit him, he was so strange, how could these dead leaves be yellow, and the middle hole was round, like a dark coin.

The wind brought a chill to the bone, he shivered, through the moonlight, he seemed to see something white, flickering in the bushes in front of him, Lin Chen suspected that it was a plastic sheet, and it didn't look like it, the thing was very light, and it flickered up from behind the tree, how did it look like a white figure.

Lin Chen suddenly felt a piece of white sweat on his back, his heart was beating wildly unconsciously, he held his breath, didn't dare to make a sound, hid behind a tree, and watched carefully.

After a while, the white thing disappeared again, Lin Chen was trotting all the way home, he decided that he must bring a flashlight next time, Lin Chen didn't believe in any stolen things, he had to understand it.

Finally seeing the light, Lin Chen let out a long breath.

In the community, in addition to a few single-family apartments, there are several apartment buildings in the townhouse.

The apartment building was not completed, only a few buildings on the left were occupied, and Lin Chen rented the eighth floor of the back building. The house on the right is still under construction, and the workers have built a temporary shed downstairs and lived in it, and the work behind it is unfinished and not yet sold.

There are some households in the whole community, which are not as hot as the landlord said.

In the past two months, Lin Chen found that for some reason, the lights in many of the windows of the building he lived in were dark, that is, there were many houses that were not inhabited.

Lin Chen rushed into the door in one breath, turned on the light, put down the briefcase, he poured himself a glass of boiled water, and watched the white gas in the cup in his hand steaming upward, Lin Chen suddenly laughed, a big man, a big man, nothing, he wanted to make himself nervous! As for it! I'm scared of myself, I'm not!

Lin Chen thought like this, maybe he was too tired, Lin Chen didn't wash, so he went straight to bed.

This night, Lin Chen didn't sleep well, his mind except for the red dress and white plastic sheet, just kept emerging the appearance of the woman in black on the subway, he seemed to think, where should he have seen her, for this strange woman, Lin Chen had an indescribable feeling, to be exact, not only the feelings of men and women, but also some other things, Lin Chen couldn't tell.
