In the summer before the end of her senior year, when all the graduates were rushing for work, Li Xingxuan locked herself in the dormitory alone. In the dormitory, except for Li Xingxuan's bed, the other three roommates were empty. The curtains were drawn tightly, the laptop on the desk was faintly glowing blue, and there were letters and advertisements scattered underneath, with a notice in between: there was only one month left until the senior left to leave the dormitory.

In fact, half a month ago, Li Xingxuan called at home and asked Li Xingxuan to give up his idea of looking for a job outside and return to his hometown L City as soon as possible. The attitude of her parents is tough, she can fully understand, after all, her sister Li Leqi accidentally disappeared in S City two years ago, and her whereabouts are still unknown, and it is already the limit of her parents' patience to stay in S City and finish college.

In the depths of Li Xingxuan's heart, she has always faintly felt that her sister did not suffer an accident, but encountered some mysterious adventure. Therefore, the police did not give a definite result back then, and Li Xingxuan did not show extreme grief and indignation. She still remembers her mother grabbing her shoulders with tears on her face and asking her in a low voice: "Your sister has an accident, how can you not know anything?!" Although Li Xingxuan, a sophomore at the time, was in the same city as Li Leqi, they were not in the same school, and the two sisters were not usually close. At the time of Li Leqi's disappearance, he had not seen Li Xingxuan for more than a month.

Li Leqi's social relationship is very simple, she has been a good girl since she was a child, and she has been focusing on her schoolwork since she was successfully admitted to D University, and she doesn't even have any other friends except for a good relationship with her roommate, let alone a boyfriend. However, Li Xingxuan feels that her parents don't really know this sister, even if she grew up with her, how much does the once inseparable sister know about Li Leqi?

This doubt arose because Li Xingxuan stumbled upon a secret space of Li Leqi. If it weren't for the fact that the name of the blog was exactly the same as the ID of the online game they played together in junior high school, Li Xingxuan would not have clicked in to see it, the ID they once shared was too special. This blog was registered six years ago and is updated frequently, with an article published roughly every two or three days. At first, the style of the blog was familiar to Li Xingxuan, and most of the things recorded were known to her, which made Li Xingxuan 90% sure that this was Li Leqi's blog. But the more she looked back, the more strange she became, Li Leqi's article was full of negativity and anger, and even the tone of expression made her feel unfamiliar. Looking back on that time, she didn't notice the change in Li Leqi's mood at all. The date the blog stopped updating was the day before Li Leqi's disappearance, and the content was only two short lines: If the body carries all the cruelty and blood, can the soul still be free?

This sentence suddenly shocked Li Xingxuan, what kind of pain was Li Leqi struggling in at that time? She didn't know, and she didn't care about her, and remorse and self-blame were overwhelming. For the first time in two years, Li Xingxuan recognized the reality of her sister's disappearance.

If the blog had been used as evidence to inform the police, it might have helped Li Leqi's disappearance, but Li Xingxuan had chosen to hide it and wanted to pursue it himself.

Focusing on the blog of Li Leqi in the three months before her disappearance, which did not mention any places or names, Li Xingxuan felt directionless, and she decided to guess the password of the blog. If the account is the name of the previous game account, then the password is indeed the password of the previous game. This may be the only hint that Li Leqi left for Li Xingxuan.

After logging into the blog, Li Xingxuan noticed something obviously suspicious, there was a visitor named Hermes who appeared very frequently on Li Leqi's blog, leaving a visitor's footprint next to each post, but there were no comments. Another important point of interest: Hermes is Lee's only blogging friend. Li Xingxuan immediately clicked on Hermes' blog, however, to her surprise, it turned out to be empty. This person must have some kind of connection with Li Leqi's disappearance, Li Xingxuan's brain was running wildly, and at this time, Hermes's name suddenly flashed, and he was online!

"Hello." Li Xingxuan hesitated for a moment and did not go straight to the point.

"You're not a blogger." The other responded.

"Do you know bloggers? I have some questions for you. Li Xingxuan's fingers trembled excitedly.

"I know you have a lot of questions, come to 2008 Old Lane, I can answer them." The other party actually proposed to meet, and Li Xingxuan was surprised that Li Xingxuan felt a hint of danger, if this person was really related to the disappearance case, would he be killed because he traced the clues, if ...... Li Xingxuan looked at the time, two o'clock in the afternoon. It's still early, and I can't care about so many "ifs", Li Xingxuan replied to Hermes, "Wait for me, it's over now." ”

When Li Xingxuan went out, he found that it was raining outside, stopped a taxi, and went straight to his destination. On the way, she edited a text message and set it to be sent at 18 o'clock, and the recipient was Gu Yi.

It was dark, and Li Xingxuan finally found No. 2008 Old Lane, an inconspicuous shop hidden in the hidden corner of the alley. There was no signboard, Li Xingxuan lifted the crystal curtain and walked in, there was a woman with a veil sitting inside, and a deck of tarot cards was placed on the table opposite.

"Hello, I'm here to find someone." Li Xingxuan smiled at the veiled woman. The woman did not look up at her, but pointed to the chair in front of her and motioned for her to sit down. Li Xingxuan looked around, the shop was not big, more than ten square meters, there was no one else, could it be that this woman was Hermes?

Li Xingxuan opened his mouth wide in disbelief, but he couldn't make a sound, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and seeing the woman's face approaching him, Li Xingxuan closed his eyes in fright. There was a "hiss, hiss" sound in my ears, which became clearer and clearer, and there was a cold touch on my ankles, as if I was wrapped around the tail of a snake, and the tighter and tighter it became, and my limbs gradually became numb, and my consciousness was blurred. Suddenly, there was a bang, and the door that had been closed at some point suddenly opened, and then the entanglement in the legs was actually reduced. Li Xingxuan felt a glimmer of life, she opened her eyes and tried to look at the door, a black cat walked in slowly from outside the door in the twilight, her blue pupils shining like jewels. It turned out to be just a cat, Li Xingxuan suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he completely lost his intuition.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Gu Yi, who was immersed in the game, was suddenly interrupted by a message popping up on the mobile phone screen.

"No. 2008 Old Lane, save me!" Gu Yi grabbed his coat and ran out of the door, not knowing what happened to Li Xingxuan, an ominous premonition arose from the bottom of his heart, what happened?
