Chapter 13: The End
The nights in the South City are cold.
Wen Xuan, who walked out of the building, was attacked by the oncoming piercing bones, and he quickly tightened the clothes on his body.
At this moment, Wen Xuan, who was full of Tang Tang in his mind, looked at the street lamp on the corner of the street, and slowly stopped.
"Lin Xi......" He muttered the familiar name slightly, and once again slowly took a step and continued to walk on the cold street.
The streets were empty, and the only thing left was the street lamps on the side of the street, orange light flickering to illuminate the ground slightly white.
Before I knew it, it was the middle of November, and the night sky began to slowly drift snowflakes, probably because the weather was too cold, or because of the mood at the moment, Wen Xuan, who had never smoked much, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath.
The spicy, choking, and bitter taste of tobacco lingered in his mouth, constantly stimulating his taste buds and making him cough.
At this moment, on the street, he walked alone, and after throwing away his cigarette, he slowly put on the hood of his clothes and hid himself in the shadows, like a ghost who escaped from the underworld, lonely and lonely, but he insisted on walking towards the goal.
Buzz Buzz......
Just as he was about to arrive at Lin Xi's community, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He lowered his head and slowly took the phone out of his pocket, and the call reminder showed Xu Lai's name on it.
"Hello?" After connecting the phone, Wen Xuan spoke indifferently.
"Wen Xuan, come here, I want to tell you something about Tang Tang." Xu Lai's voice was very cold this time, not at all as frivolous as before, and after saying this, he hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the hang-up prompt from the phone, Wen Xuan raised his head and looked at the brightly lit window of the community, and exhaled a white breath.
■■■■■■■■■■
When he arrived at the police station, Wen Xuan returned to his previous cold appearance and walked straight to Xu Lai's office.
Pushing open the door, Wen Xuan saw Xu Laizheng looking at the computer screen intently.
Xu Lai, who sensed Wen Xuan's arrival, raised his head, looked at Wen Xuan and said with a smile: "It's here." It just so happens that I have good news about Tang Tang, which is actually bad news. Want to hear it? ”
Wen Xuan looked at Xu Lai silently and did not answer.
Xu Lai smiled slightly embarrassedly, got up and walked to Wen Xuan's side, slowly approaching Wen Xuan's ear, Wen Xuan noticed Xu Lai's movements, frowned slightly, and just wanted to speak, he heard Xu Lai whisper in his ear: "Just half an hour ago, Tang Tang ...... It was like air and vanished out of thin air. ”
"What!" Wen Xuan, who heard this, suddenly got up and stared at Xu Lai with a shocked face: "What did you say?" ”
Xu Lai ignored the shocked look on Wen Xuan's face at the moment, and instead said with a meaningful look and smile, "What's wrong?" Isn't that clear enough? I said just half an hour's money, Tang Tang...... Gone. ”
Just as Wen Xuan was about to say something, Xu Lai's hand had already pressed on Wen Xuan's shoulder.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, after all, sometimes even prisoners can escape from prison, let alone ...... She's not human yet. Oh, no, it's supposed to be that she's not human anymore, and it's not normal to disappear or run away. ”
Sensing that Xu Lai was different from usual, Wen Xuan looked directly into Xu Lai's eyes, because Wen Xuan found that Xu Lai seemed to be concerned about the strangeness that happened today, whether it was Tang Tang's disappearance or her cannibalism, he didn't seem to show the slightest panic from beginning to end, but his expression was like seeing those souls of himself on weekdays...... No, he is even more calm than himself.
It stands to reason that when people face the unknown for the first time, no matter how tenacious and strong their minds are, when they perceive this uncontrollable fear of the unknown, they will never be so indifferent, unless...... He was used to this kind of thing, and he felt that this kind of thing had become sparse and ordinary before it could behave like this.
For example: Winshare.
Xu Lai, who saw Wen Xuan's eyes moving, patted Wen Xuan's shoulder and said indifferently, "Okay." Don't wonder why I'm so calm. You just need to know one thing. Now there is something about Tang Sugar that has been blocked. What I mean by that is that he is neither a fugitive nor a police officer on the list of people who are being pursued by the Force. Of course, she's not safe either...... Because I'm not in charge of these things, there are naturally other people in charge. But if you're quick enough, at least you'll have a chance to find her. In short, if you think about the good in everything, at least she is safe now. ”
Wen Xuan sat back on the stool blankly, and after listening to Xu Lai tell him about this, he felt that his mind was already in a mess, and he became clueless for a while. So he naturally couldn't notice it, and the eyes in Xu looking at him at this moment were obscure.
Just after Wen Xuan left the police station in despair again, a strange black mist suddenly appeared in the palm of Xu Lai's originally empty left hand.
And in the black fog, strange and ugly wails and cries continued to sound.
Xu looked at the black mist that was constantly twisting and tumbling in his hands, and slowly and forcefully shook the black mist away with both hands, accompanied by a sharp scream that ordinary people could not detect, Xu Lai raised his head and looked at the stool that Wen Xuan had sat on before, his smile disappeared, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his expression was indifferent.
■■■■■■■■■■■
Morgue.
After leaving the police station, Wen Xuan came directly here, and at this moment he was squatting in the corner, looking at the corpses around him with blank eyes.
But it's no wonder to say, after all, in just one day, he has experienced too many changes, and there have been continuous ups and downs for a while, no matter who it is, his spirit will be a little unbearable.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard outside the morgue door.
The heavy, steady voice echoed through the empty corridors, and if it were an ordinary person, it would have been a panic to hear it in the morgue in the middle of the night.
But at this moment, Wen Xuan only raised his head slightly and looked outside the door.
After a while, Fang Yuan walked in, at this time he had a lonely expression on his face, and his eyes were full of guilt and uneasiness when he looked at Wen Xuan now, after the two of them were silent for a long time, Fang Yuan said with guilt: "I'm sorry." ”
Wen Xuan looked at him with an expressionless face.
Just when Fang Yuan thought that he would not forgive himself, he heard Wen Xuan say with self-deprecation in his tone: "I originally thought that there was such a thing as a secret...... It's better to be in the heart and not say it, because if you don't need to hide something, you won't hurt others. Who knows...... It turns out that not all secrets are the same as the autopsy report, which can protect others. ”
"Whew, okay, don't blame yourself. After all, ghosts are such high-level things...... Not many people will come across it. Your reaction is normal. Wen Xuan rubbed his cheeks and said with a smile: "Fang Yuan, remember to tell Sister Lin Xi tomorrow, I'...... Resigned. ”
Fang Yuan looked at Wen Xuan in surprise, he originally wanted to say something more, but because of the uneasiness and guilt in his heart, he still didn't open his mouth to persuade after all.
The two of them walked out of the morgue and looked at the bright moonlight, Wen Xuan waved his hand at Fang Yuan and said with a smile, "Goodbye." ”
Fang Yuan stood in place, looking at Wen Xuan, who was getting farther and farther away, for some reason, he suddenly felt that he would be unable to see each other again.
At this moment, Wen Xuan never said a word in his heart: "Originally, those things were coming towards him." At this time, he looked back at the direction where the Nancheng Police Station was located, and Wen Xuan, who had already noticed something, was expressionless at the moment.
