Chapter 7: The Second Week (1)
"Are you the Grim Reaper?" In a pink room full of dolls and toys, a little girl holding a rabbit doll tuggs at the black sleeve of the Grim Reaper, looking up at the Grim Reaper, who is as tall as a mountain, and her voice is childish and innocent.
"yes, I'm here to take you away." The Grim Reaper crouched down and touched the little girl's head, although his tone was still a little softer, "From today onwards, you are also a Grim Reaper." ”
"Then can I take away the bad guys who killed Mom and Dad?" The little girl smiled sweetly and looked down at the short knife inserted into her heart, "Thank you...... Big Brother ......" and fell to the ground, soaking the pink carpet into a blood-red patch.
Death closed the little girl's eyes, fumbled in his arms for a long time, took out a fruit candy and put it in the palm of her hand, and then opened the window and jumped downstairs.
"'W' resurrection? The scene is reproduced for the first time in four years! The next day, the major media spared no effort to report on the matter, and the bad relationship between Han Nuo and "W" was written by a good person and published on the website and was very popular, for a while Han Nuo was once again pushed to the forefront, and those fan girls of the year saw that Han Nuo was more masculine and had to inch in, and every day a few little fan girls squatted at the door of the special investigation team to see Han Nuo's own demeanor.
"It's not W." Xia Fei pointed to the photo of the crime scene posted on the whiteboard, "W leaves a message every time he commits a crime, but this time he didn't, and Lin Lin, who played 'W', was executed four years ago, can the dead still be brought back to life?" ”
"What if Lin Lin is just a scapegoat, and the real 'W' is still at large?" Liu Cai pushed his glasses and questioned.
"Do you have any proof that the real 'W' is still alive?" Xia Fei asked rhetorically.
"He Chain of Death suddenly disappeared four years ago, and it couldn't be searched by any search engine, but I found it just a few days ago," Liu Cai turned the notebook around, and a few words on the screen were particularly eye-catching, "I played a game according to the prompts, and successfully became the Grim Reaper who was found out." ”
"You don't want to die?!" Xia Fei's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"The deceased Yingying, female, eight years old, died of excessive blood loss, the time of death was 12 o'clock in the morning, the modus operandi and the time of the crime were exactly the same as the first case four years ago;" Liu Cai kept bombarding like a cannon, "I checked her web browsing history and found that she also participated in this game and became a 'Grim Reaper', which shows that W is indeed alive, no, to be exact, W is just a synonym for the executor, not a specific individual." ”
Han Nuo sat next to him and listened silently to Xia Fei and Liu Cai's argument, glancing at Liu Cai, who had grown to the point of being able to confront Xia Fei in just four years, "So you plan to risk yourself?" ”
Liu Cai nodded, "W belongs to indiscriminate killing, passive is better than active, I personally used it as bait to lure him out, so the odds are better." ”
"Team Han, what do you think?" Xia Fei was shocked by Liu Cai's crazy move, and couldn't understand the reason why he gambled his life.
"Have you thought about it?" Han Nuo frowned and pondered for a long time before asking.
"In this life, you have to live a worthwhile life!" Liu Cai's eyes flashed with unprecedented determination.
"Brother W-" The petite Lori rushed over and pounced on the black shadow sitting on the windowsill staring outside, but the endless darkness pounced into the air, and W, who instantly appeared at the other end of the cramped space, threw down the sentence in his usual cold tone: "It's time." And he was gone.
The little Lori pouted and "hummed" in dissatisfaction, and she didn't want to stay alone in this red and black sloping space for longer, put on the mask of death and become the same as W, and disappeared into the darkness.
"Team Han, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so leave it to me here." When Xia Fei heard that Han Nuo was going to deal with W in person with Liu Cai, he hurriedly interrupted, and then covered his mouth and obediently covered the door and went out.
"Did you hear it all?" Han Nuo glanced at Xia Fei, who was standing outside the door and peeping at him, "Go, call Xia Fei in for me." ”
"Xia Fei, I have something else to do with you." After the meeting ended, Han Nuo took out the maple leaf notebook from his briefcase and handed it over, "Report the relevant information of this book to me before going to work tomorrow." ”
Xia Fei opened the notebook and found that it was blank, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Team Han, aren't you playing with me!" After Han Nuo left, Xia Fei couldn't help but wail.
"I'm back." Han Nuo pushed open the door and said hello to the dust hidden in the darkness, and walked into the bedroom in the dark to unscrew the desk lamp that emitted a soft orange light, which was the only faint light in the dimly lit room.
Han Nuo sat in front of the chair that Ouyang Luo had sat on, opened the drawer, took out the blue jewelry box, stared at it for a long time, slowly opened the box, put the ring on the ring finger of his left hand, gently rubbed it for a while, and then took it off and put it back in place, then got up and picked up the photo frame on the bedside table and hugged it tightly in his arms, extinguished the only light, and turned everything into darkness.
"Due to the cold wave, our city will usher in a wide range of cooling and accompanied by rain and snow, please pay attention to adding clothes in time to keep warm ......," Han Nuo turned off the TV that was playing "Evening Weather", and reminded Liu Cai, who looked as usual but trembled slightly, "Remember to take the key." ”
Liu Cai, who had a fine cold sweat on his forehead, nodded slightly stiffly, swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Team Han...... Am I going to die? ”
"It's the kind of question you should think about before you decide to do it." Han Nuo didn't comfort Liu Cai, his eyes swept around the special police officers hidden everywhere, and turned his head to glance at the wall clock hanging on the wall, "It's almost 1 o'clock." ”
When the minute and second hands overlapped with the hour hand on the "1", the locked floor-to-ceiling window was suddenly pushed open by the cold wind, and the Grim Reaper W stood quietly in front of the window, allowing the wind to blow up the black robe, revealing the empty pitch black.
In the darkness, only the ticking of the wall clock accompanied the slow progress of the god of death, Liu Cai and everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, holding their breath and not even daring to breathe.
W stopped and disappeared when he was a few steps away from Liu Cai, and at the same time, Han Nuo, who was quick-eyed, got up suddenly, pinched the wrist behind him and raised the short knife to aim at Liu Cai's neck and continued to exert force, and the short knife fell to the ground and made an unusually loud sound in the dark.
In an instant, the special police officers lurking in the house shot at the location where the short knife landed, and in the sound of gunfire in the sky, Han Nuo pulled Liu Cai to hide under the bed in time, "Why don't you unlock it!" Han Nuo dragged the trembling Liu Cai collar and roared, "Don't you die!" ”
"Key...... I can't find the key......" Liu Cai, who was frightened, said in a trembling voice, Han Nuo, who was very angry, took out a deep breath and took out the spare key and was just about to unlock it, when the face of death suddenly appeared under the bed, and just collided with Han Nuo head-on.
From unlocking the lock to turning over and going out and holding down W's shoulder, the whole person pressed on him and handcuffed the two together, adding up to no more than two seconds, Liu Cai, who was stunned by the clean and neat action in one go, opened his mouth, his eyes were full of adoration.
"It's now!" The SWAT officers who had been hit by the reentry bullet and fell to the ground suddenly got up and rushed over together, holding down W's limbs to control him, while Xia Fei lifted Liu Cai, who was still dazed, out from under the bed and turned on the light with his hand.
always felt that he was staring at himself, Han Nuo couldn't help but press down on W, who was not struggling, to prevent him from escaping, "It's over." Han Nuo stretched out his other hand to take off the mask of death, and the special police officers around him were suddenly thrown out one by one, and Han Nuo also fell heavily to the ground, and his wrists were twisted and cracked.
W, who stood up straight, picked up Han Nuo, who had broken his hand, and jumped from the window the moment the SWAT officers pounced again.
"Team Han!" Xia Fei chased to the window and looked down, but as far as the eye could see, in addition to the endless traffic, it was the boundless night, where were W and Han Nuo!
Han Nuo was awakened by the familiar warmth that he had not seen for a long time. Turning his head to look at Ouyang Luo, who was sleeping sweetly in his arms, and looking at the familiar decoration around him, his eyes were confused as he had never been.
So it was all just a dream? Han Nuo gently took away the hand on his chest and put it into the quilt, folded the quilt for Ouyang Luo, got dressed and got up and walked to the living room to turn on the light, the bear pillow on the sofa, the pink unicorn mug on the dining table, the pink floral apron hanging in the kitchen, and the note book attached to the refrigerator, everything was the same as four years ago.
took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, "03:30 on September 28, 2017", half a month before W appeared, Han Nuo sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette and took a few puffs in his mouth, took out the light pink Kennie Rabbit notepad from his briefcase and turned to page 20, seeing that the confession he wrote when he was bored was still alive, he frowned and tore off the page, nested it in a ball and threw it into the trash.
"Han Nuo, why don't you sleep for a while?" Ouyang Luo rubbed his sleepy eyes, walked from the bedroom to Han Nuo's side in a daze, and leaned on his lap, staring at the angular chin with a smirk: "Han Nuo, you are so good-looking." ”
Han Nuo turned his head not to look at the frank smile, Ouyang Luo, who was lying on his lap, looked at the slender finger holding the cigarette and slowly brought it to his mouth, and couldn't help but look at it, until Han Nuo's much softer poker face blocked his vision.
Ouyang Luo, who was hugged tightly, put his head on Han Nuo's shoulder, smelling the tobacco fragrance that had not yet dissipated and inhaled greedily, as if he was extremely nostalgic, "You know what? What I like the most is the smell of smoke on your body, it smells reassuring. ”
"Ouyang Luo, never leave me." Han Nuo smiled and rubbed Ouyang Luo's hair, obviously in a very gentle tone, but those erratic eyes revealed his true feelings.
Han Nuo didn't know if it was a near-death dream, or if he had really gone back in time.
He only knew that Ouyang Luo was still by his side, and it was enough for him.
But what Han Nuo didn't know was that all this was just the beginning.
