"Are you okay?" Yi Qi pushed the door and walked into the room, asking with a concerned expression.

"Also... All right! ”

The woman's words are not only full of paleness and powerlessness, but also a sense of emptiness that is dying of death.

Yi Qi didn't feel embarrassed, and continued to be concerned: "Have you found your mother?" And your father and brother? ”

This time, the woman finally reacted, she first sat up slowly, and then used her arms... Wrap your arms around your curled legs and rest your head gently on your knees.

It's just that the kitchen knife, which is still held tightly in the hand, also accompanies this action, and naturally falls the blade to the neck.

"Not yet, I don't see anyone anywhere."

"Don't see anyone anywhere?" Yi Qi paused and wondered, "Could it be that they are in this apartment?" ”

"I don't know." The woman's voice was still hollow, but it was also full of life.

"Oh? So, all you know is they're in this town? ”

"What did you say?" The woman suddenly became excited, and pointed at Yi Qi with a kitchen knife: "How can you know that you... Why do you know ......"

Yi Qi immediately took two steps back, and raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent: "Uh... I guess! Because, you've been looking for them in the town!

Otherwise, how would I know? ”

"Hmm......" The woman seemed to remember something, and then covered her head: "My head hurts......"

"Are you not feeling well?"

Although the words were full of concern, Yi Qi did not plan to step forward, and still kept a certain distance from the woman: "By the way, I don't know your name yet." My name is James and I am a cashier at a transaction tax office. ”

It seemed that she felt the care in the words, or maybe she was distracted, and the woman's physical discomfort was quickly relieved, and then she said: "Angela, my name is Angela......"

See the woman... Angela could still continue to communicate, and Yi Qi leaned down and comforted her with a relatively equal height and very peaceful words: "Although I don't know what you are going to do, I think... Things always find a solution, don't they? ”

"The solution?" It's a pity that Angela is still indifferent, just using Na Na's words, and said blankly: "But, we are all the same!" are all cowards who dare not face themselves!

Right now... They're coming, they're coming to punish me, and they're leaving me with nowhere to run, but... We really deserve it! ”

Yi Qi ignored these whispers and continued to use gentle words, soothing: "No matter what you encounter, life... After all, there must be a glimmer of hope, otherwise... How can you find your mother? ”

"Mom~!"

With this affectionate call, Angela's confused eyes suddenly revealed a trace of clarity.

Yi Qi struck while the iron was hot and comforted: "Besides, it can't solve any problems, it's just... Another form of evasion. ”

As he spoke, Yi Qi also pointed, and the sharp knife that was still held in the palm of the other party and rested on his neck.

Angela also woke up from a dream, and then realized... The blade of the knife was hugging his neck, so he first let out a low sigh, and then removed the kitchen knife in his hand.

"I... What's going on? ”

"It's okay, I'll help you!"

Seeing that Angela had regained his senses, Yi Qi leaned forward, and while he said something to soothe the other party, he wanted to snatch the sharp knife from the other party's hand.

Before... Yi Qi didn't come closer, not because he was afraid that Angela would be bad for him, but because he didn't want to overly stab this emotionally abnormal woman, otherwise... God knows what she'll do.

Unexpectedly, his own approach... Angela panicked, and brandished the knife in her hand.

Fortunately, Angela did not show her intention to attack, but just wanted to use a kitchen knife... Forced back from Yiqi.

Seeing this scene, Yi Qi no longer insisted, got up and retreated to the back, and then raised his hands again, and said sincerely: "Don't get excited, I just want to help you." ”

As for... Angela hugged her head in pain and screamed in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong with me? Why am I... ...... do that? ”

Then, as if stimulated, she hurriedly got up and wanted to escape from the cage-like room, while whispering, "Mom, I'm going to find Mom......"

It's just that the door of the room was blocked by Yi Qi, so Angela could only hold the kitchen knife tightly and look at Yi Qi with a fearful expression.

"Don't be afraid, I said... I will help you! "Iki still has his hands held high, but on his face... But with a very soft smile: "So, I won't stop you from going to your mother." ”

In order to show his sincerity, Yi Qi moved lightly and directly opened the door.

"It's just, this thing is in your hands, it seems... It's inappropriate. As he spoke, Yi Qi stretched out a raised palm and pointed... A kitchen knife that is still being held tightly by the other party.

Angela looked down at the kitchen knife, her eyes revealed... Tangled and strange looks, there is both fear, reluctance, and a trace of inexplicable dependence.

After a long time, Angela finally made up her mind, and her eyes became firm: "You're right, it's... It really shouldn't have been left in my hands. With it, I even... I don't know what will happen.

It's just that it's very important to me......"

As she spoke, Angela suddenly raised her head, and then looked directly at Yi Qi with burning eyes: "So, can you help me keep it?" James? ”

"Of course, I said... I will help you! ”

"Thank you!"

Having said that, Angela's look of vigilance... It's still the same, so she stares at Yi Qi's movements while heading towards the door... Slowly moved over.

It wasn't until she came to the door that Angela breathed a sigh of relief, and then put the kitchen knife... It was placed on a small wooden counter.

Just as Angela was about to turn around and leave, Yi Qi suddenly spoke: "I'm going to go to the park by the lake, you know... How to get there? ”

Angela was stunned and immediately replied: "Follow the alley at the back door of the apartment, and you can go directly to the park." ”

Immediately, she gently took a key from her jacket pocket and placed it on the counter.

"This is the key to the stairwell in the apartment."

Seeing that Yi Qi had no doubts, Angela retreated step by step, until she disappeared from Yi Qi's field of vision, a series of... The sound of hurried and distant footsteps reached Yiqi's ears.

Yi Qi didn't move until the 'da-da-da' sound disappeared, and the concern on his face... Only then did he become apathetic again, and then walked to the counter and picked up the kitchen knife and key.
