Chapter 33: PlayHome
Opening, closing, and turning on the light in the living room, the man repeated the actions that had been incomparably familiar for the past two years.
After looking around with eagle-like eyes, he put down the revolver in his pocket, didn't take off the windbreaker that was in the way, and went straight to the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of gurgling water came from the bathroom.
The reddish water shimmered on the white tiles in the corners......
It had been ten minutes since he reappeared in the living room, as if nothing had happened, the wide trench coat had not changed, it seemed that it had never been taken off, and there was nothing on his body to prove that he had just taken a shower, except for the slightly wet hair.
He took a dry towel from the wall that looked a little faded, and expertly wiped his head in front of the mirror, erasing the last traces.
An indifferent man, an executioner, with a keen eye, who does not like to take care of himself......
He looked at himself in the mirror, and these clues naturally appeared in his mind, as if the person in the mirror was not himself, but the prey he was tracking.
With a hint of mockery in his eyes, he changed into a pair of sneakers and turned to walk into the living room.
This is a small spacious apartment, one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, it is commendable that it is very clean, and all kinds of items are placed very neatly, so neat that it gives people the feeling that only sofas and beds have been used in this place.
The man threw his wallet on the table, turned around and walked into the bedroom, turning off the living room light.
Soon after, the snoring gradually sounded, and the whole process did not even hear the sound of the man undressing and taking off his shoes, only the whole person was heard falling on the bed, and the inferior spring bed made a squeaking sound that did not pay attention to the burden, and then it directly transitioned to the stage of deep sleep.
The night was getting deeper.
I don't know how long it took, the snoring in the bedroom stopped abruptly, and a deeper black shadow in the darkness stood up from the bed, and there was no sleepiness in the eyes that seemed to be able to see through the darkness, and the gaze swept every detail of the room inch by inch, and then the living room, wallet, and bathroom......
Still, everything is fine......
After this maddeningly cautious move, the man finally relented, took half a glass of water, stood on the scale of the toilet, and looked at the shaking pointer on the scale, and he poured out the water from the cup little by little.
Finally, the pointer stopped at a certain "standard" weight, and the checkered tiles on the wall in front of him slowly and silently sunk back, revealing the space on the other side—the bathroom in room 2303!
The process lasted about five minutes, and the man waited patiently before slowly walking inside...... It was only the first step that he noticed the anomaly!
Well, it's not something that is hard to notice, the rich pizza smell in the room can be smelled by anyone, and aside from that, the sound of the TV that was deliberately lowered but not completely turned off almost made the room anomalous and looped on a fluorescent screen.
However, what is even more strange is that the man didn't even notice all this before he entered this room!
This is almost impossible for his current observation and physical fitness!
The man remained silent for a long time, then took the silver revolver from his pocket and walked forward.
- able to escape his perception, to deceive his eyes, to appear in his most secret nest at this point in time...... He smelled his prey!
The room was unlit, but it wasn't a hindrance to the man, and he stepped out of the bathroom and into the dark hallway, where the room was constructed like SCP-2304, and two more steps further he could step into the confines of the living room, only he had to stop again.
In the living room, illuminated by the flickering light of the TV screen, a shadow was stretched along with the sofa, like a slender bamboo pole, reflected on the wall, without the slightest concealment.
The weirdest thing is that the shadow is still holding a piece of pizza in his hand, and it seems to be about to put it in his mouth......
I don't know, I thought this was a fat house that stayed up late to watch movies!
But the problem is, this is a man's house!
If it weren't for the fact that the tiles on the wall behind him hadn't been fully closed, the man would have suspected that he had gone to the wrong room.
The sound of the evening news came from the television.
"Five gangsters broke into LRRH this afternoon with the intention of carrying out a suicide attack, and two have now been killed......"
Both men in the room were aware of each other's presence, but neither of them spoke first.
Seeing that the silent atmosphere was about to stalemate like this, the shadow sighed helplessly and put down the pizza in his hand.
"Coming back?" Mu Yan's voice came from the sofa.
The man didn't answer, but took two steps forward, quietly staring at the back stretched by the light.
"I know it's hard to come home and suddenly find a stranger at your house eating pizza and watching TV, and I'm sorry for that, but please forgive me for not having this feeling of lying on the couch and watching TV for a long time......"
Mu Yan, who didn't get a response, didn't feel embarrassed, and began to talk to himself, but the effect didn't seem to be very good, and the temperature around him seemed to be dropping rapidly.
"Okay, okay, I know it's a very rude thing to do, but it's the most suitable scenario I can think of for you and me to open up and talk, eating pizza and watching TV is really just a misunderstanding, please forgive me again for my presumptuousness."
Still without any response, the man looked at Mu Yan coldly.
With a snort, Mu Yan scratched his head slowly: "That's it, things have already happened, why don't we look forward together?" I'm here, obviously there's something to talk to you about, and I think we can create a fair and friendly atmosphere, not as tense as it is now, so...... Could you please put the gun down? ”
