Things are getting more and more complicated, I feel like my head is about to explode, and at this time, there is a sudden sharp pain in my stomach, which is indescribable, like something is squirming wildly in my stomach.

I rolled on the ground in pain while holding my stomach, and I couldn't scream, and then I felt my body getting hotter and hotter, and my blood seemed to boil, as if I had been thrown into boiling water to boil, and my consciousness gradually became blurred, and then my eyes went dark, and I didn't know anything.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, and I don't know why, I felt very good in spirit, and my whole body felt like I had been reborn, from spirit to body, I felt an unprecedented comfort.

When I got up from the ground, I felt that my palms were a little sticky, and when I looked at it, I found that there was some green viscous liquid on it, and when I looked at it again, my whole body was covered with this liquid.

The smell was very fishy, a bit like the smell of insects, so I quickly went to the bathroom and rinsed my body carefully until I couldn't smell the fishy smell at all.

The first reaction was to go to the old man, who was probably frightened last night, and didn't even think about it.

After knocking on the door a few times, there was no movement inside, and I panicked in my heart, and hurriedly went downstairs to stop the car, and went straight to the small hotel yesterday.

When I was on the way, my whole heart was hanging, and I had a bad feeling that the old man would definitely go home and wait for me if he didn't see me go back, and there was no reason to stay there.

The door of the room was closed, I knocked for a while and there was no response, I became more and more panicked, just as I raised my foot and was about to kick the door, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Alas, what are you doing!" ”

When I turned my head and saw that it was the hostess of the hotel, I hurriedly asked her where the old man who was with me yesterday was.

"What old man?" The proprietress looked puzzled.

I hurriedly said that the one who was with me yesterday was very thin and had a hunched back......

The proprietress looked at me strangely, and after I finished speaking, she tilted her neck and said: "I only saw you alone yesterday, I was still strange, I asked you if you wanted a single room or a standard room, and you said that you wanted a standard room......"

She talked endlessly about my coming to open the house yesterday, I couldn't take my eyes off her, and when she finished speaking, I didn't say anything, turned around and went outside to stop the car and rush home.

On the way, my fists clenched tightly, and I remembered many things I had with the old man before, and I couldn't help but have a terrifying thought.

This time I didn't knock on the door again, but went straight home and got a few tools, and then forcibly pried open the old man's door.

As soon as the door opened, a musty smell suddenly hit the face, and the curtains in the room were drawn, and the light was very dim.

I turned on the light and saw a thick layer of dust on the floor and furniture, and some messy footprints on the floor.

I didn't linger too long and quickly closed the door and left.

When I got home, I was almost collapsed, and I felt like I was being pressed against a boulder in my chest, and I couldn't breathe.

Everything was a scam, from the very beginning, I was scammed and everyone was lying to me!

The last straw that broke me down was finally pressed, and I didn't feel the slightest fear, just a kind of anger like a volcanic eruption.

After being suppressed for so many days, when the truth surfaced, I finally broke out: "Come on, if you want to deal with me, come openly, why lie to me, what do you want, come out, come at me!" ”

I roared loudly in the room, and at this time I even hoped that Zheng Dong, Wang Po, the old man, and all the messy things in the bungalow would appear in front of me, and they would swallow me or chop me alive.

I couldn't take it anymore, it was really worse than death.

At this time, I suddenly heard a knock on the door, and without even thinking about it, I grabbed the ashtray from the table and rushed over.

At this time, no matter whether it was the old man standing outside or the king of heaven, I had to smash his head.

When I opened the door, it was empty, and I heard a rush of footsteps in the corridor, so I hurriedly chased down, and when I reached the door of the unit, I saw a food delivery rider wearing a helmet galloping away.

"Fuck you, don't run!"

I threw the ashtray out, but he disappeared at the entrance of the compound in a blink of an eye on his motorcycle.

"You bastards, what's going on coming at me in the open, what kind of skill is sneaking around!"

I was standing downstairs in the unit, screaming with red eyes, and passers-by were looking at me strangely.

I don't know why, but at this point I suddenly felt that I couldn't just give up so easily, and since they were trying to deal with me, I definitely couldn't let them succeed so easily.

I've got to keep going, and I'm going to have to do everything I can with them, even if it's broken!

When I got back to the door, I saw another blank piece of paper pasted on the door, and I now finally know that these blank papers were not pranks, and that they were deliberately done by the delivery rider wearing a helmet just now.

Suddenly remembered the first time he saw this blank paper, the old man quickly tore it off and threw it aside, he didn't think there was anything at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that something is not quite right.

Now I can be sure that the old man has never had a good heart from beginning to end, and I don't know what the purpose of his deception to me is so deliberate, but I can be sure that whether it is the old man who usually comes into contact with me, or the old man he saw in the bungalow, he is not a normal person, or rather, he is not even a human!

Since he didn't want me to notice the blank piece of paper, it must have hidden something he didn't want me to know.

I carefully removed the blank paper, went back to the house and spread it out on the coffee table, this time the pattern was different from the previous two times, it was a coordinate axis, there was an irregular curve on the top, it was very gentle at first, but when it was about to reach the end, it suddenly rose upward.

I stared at this pattern and didn't see anything to say, and I regretted that I didn't pay attention to it when I was studying, I was a scumbag at the time, so I came out to work after graduating from high school.

But I could at least see that the pattern was mathematical, and after thinking about it, I pulled out my phone and flipped to a phone.

When I saw the name in the phone book, some subtle emotions welled up in my heart, and after a moment of hesitation, I still mustered up the courage to dial the phone.

After two rings, a particularly nice woman's voice came from the opposite side, "Hello, who." ”

Hearing this voice, I suddenly became nervous, and after a while, I said, "Is it Enran...... I'm Zhang Zhanhao......"

An Ran, the school flower of my high school, is excellent in character and learning, very beautiful, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and does not fall into drinking and danding, and is the goddess in the hearts of most of the boys in the school, including me.

I've had a crush on her since high school, but I haven't had much intersection with her throughout the three years of high school, which is very helpless, and sometimes the distance between the scumbag and the top student is as far away as being from one end of the galaxy to the other.

In fact, don't talk about me, even if it is the rich and handsome who are too good to be good in the school, no one has ever been favored by An Ran, and she has remained single for the entire three years of high school.

After graduating, I haven't heard from her, and then I only heard that she went to a top university in the country, and I became a working boy at the bottom of the society, and the distance between me and her was even farther away.

"Ah, it's you, I thought you forgot about me."

An Ran's voice on the other end of the phone is still so beautiful, and after all these years, I hear it again and my heart is still pounding.

I said to myself, even if I forgot my name, I couldn't forget you!

But I didn't dare to say this, so I quickly got down to business, and described the pattern on the blank piece of paper to her, and asked her what she meant.

She thought for a moment and said, "It should be a compound interest curve." ”

"Compound interest curve?" It sounds strange to me.

She continued, "It is a phenomenon pattern in economics, which refers to the law that under certain conditions, things suddenly explode from flat to a certain point. ”

Although I didn't fully understand it, I still had some understanding of the concept of quantitative change to qualitative change, but I couldn't figure out what the person who put this pattern on us meant.

"Why, suddenly changed sex, do you have to study hard and be angry?" An Ran laughed and teased on the other end of the phone.

"I didn't ...... Hehe, just ask...... If it's okay, I'll hang up first......"

In fact, I definitely don't want to hang up the phone, if Enron is willing, I can accompany her for three days and three nights.

It's just that I always feel that the gap between her and me is too big, and I also have self-knowledge, and I almost don't dare to think about what I can do with her in my life, so it's meaningless to entangle too much, and I have an inferiority complex when I talk to her, and I feel so nervous that I can't say a few more words.

"This is going to hang, are you particularly reluctant to talk to me!"

An Ran's tone on the other end of the phone looked a little unhappy, and I quickly explained no, but I heard him continue: "Zhang Zhanhao, you can now, you don't know how to contact me when you come back, you have to think of me if you have something." ”

I hurriedly said that I didn't mean that, and I would definitely look for her when I went back, but I didn't expect to be interrupted by her, "Okay, don't look for me if you don't want to, run to Zhang Xiaodan and they don't know how to look for me, forget it, I won't tell you." ”

As she spoke, she was about to hang up the phone, but I suddenly realized something, "Wait! ”

"What? Want to explain? Okay, I'll listen. An Ran's voice on the other end of the phone was already obviously unhappy.

But what I care about at this time is not this at all, "Where did you know that I went to play with Zhang Xiaodan and them?" ”

"Just last week, don't deny it, I saw you two on the street, and I was going to say hello to you, but I didn't expect to see you two go to the cinema......"

My brain was buzzing, I haven't been back for more than half a year, how can I go to find Zhang Xiaodan?

"Are you sure the person you saw was me?" My breathing began to get rapid.

"Nonsense, I know you when you turn to ashes, and I heard Zhang Xiaodan tell other classmates that you have changed, and you are completely different from the previous Zhang Zhanhao, saying that you are gentle and considerate ...... now"

"You send me a phone number from Zhang Xiaodan!" At this time, cold sweat was already beginning to break out on my head, but I had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, "Do you really not know or do you pretend not to know?" ”

"An Ran, don't ask anything, I'll explain to you slowly when I get back, now you send me Zhang Xiaodan's phone number first, I have something important to find her."

How do you know that she sighed on the other end of the phone, looking a little lonely: "Alas, it seems that you really don't know, Zhang Xiaodan died the day before yesterday, in a car accident, hit by a big truck, I went to her house with a few classmates yesterday, and I couldn't bear to see her parents......"
