Chapter 1: Xu Lang's Secret
However, I can sensitively feel that the person in front of me has no ill will towards me.
With that intuition, I looked at him twice.
He has black and red skin, a bearded face, and his eyes seem to be a little big and small.
Come to think of it, I really haven't seen anyone like this, so I smiled apologetically at him, and then shook my head blankly.
The man was not annoyed, but said in a low voice: "Miss Lin, you can think about it carefully, one night, I chatted with you and Mr. Shen on the rooftop." ”
I haven't reacted for a while, rooftop chat? But I vaguely remembered something.
The man looked at me a little bit of an impression, smiled slightly, and whispered another sentence: "Before going up to the rooftop, I lived on the eighth floor. ”
I suddenly had a pale and languid face, a thin and thin body, and a slight misanthropic and emotionally unstable mental state.
But he was a SWAT officer before, and I remembered, how could it be him? I couldn't help but exclaim, but he saw my reaction, and quickly touched my foot under the table, signaling me not to be high-profile.
I understood his reminder, and endured it for a long time before I suppressed that exclamation in my throat, and finally didn't call out.
When I saw him, I couldn't help but have a lot to say, and I was curious about a lot of things. He glanced around again, then at me, and it was self-evident.
There were so many people here that he told me not to speak.
So, I had to keep my head down and eat, and he also ate heavily, until when there was only a little bit of food left in front of him, he stood up casually and straightened the strap of the big satchel on his body. Then, he looked at me with his eyes and walked out.
I ate quietly, but my eyes were on him. He stood in the doorway as if nothing had happened, lit a cigarette, looked around again, and then walked to the right side of the street.
His movements were not fast, they were natural, and it just so happened that this series of movements gave me time to follow along.
In the bustling crowd, no one knew that I was following the man in front of me.
We walked one after the other, in perfect understanding, until we walked two streets and came across a small café, he looked at me again, and then turned and walked up.
I saw him go in and waited a minute or two before he pretended to be tired and walked into the café.
It's a nondescript café, and because the floor is not very good, the whole café is very dim.
Downstairs in the café, there are a variety of casual bars, bars, internet cafes, and other cafes. Walking into this building, it is difficult to tell where people go to spend money.
If it weren't for him, who walked in front, he left me with a clear trace of cigarette butts, suggesting that I was on a few floors, and I wouldn't have been able to find this café at all.
Luckily, there is only one café on this floor, and the rest are private dishes. Otherwise, I might have to work hard.
It's a safe place to be, walking in a café that's very dark, I thought to myself.
It was lunchtime, and there was no business in the whole café, and there were only a few three or five people in the café, which was deliberately divided into a relatively private small space.
Soon I saw him sitting in the corner, and I declined the waiter's courtesy and walked briskly.
At this time, he already had two cups of pure black coffee in front of the table. Seeing that I was coming, he looked up at me and said, "I didn't ask your opinion, I ordered you a cup of black coffee, don't you mind?" ”
I sat down and said with a faint smile, "I got up this morning and drank a cup of black coffee." I don't like black coffee very much, but since I met it twice today, I can only say that it is fate. ”
As I spoke, I picked up my coffee cup and took a sip lightly, not realizing that I had thousands of questions in my heart, but when it came to face-to-face conversation, I calmed down and calmed down.
Instead, he smiled and took a sip of coffee, then looked at me and said, "Miss Lin hasn't forgotten my name, has she?" ”
"No, Xu Lang, right?" Speaking of this name, I remembered him in a mental hospital, tortured to the point that he had lost his fighting spirit a little.
How did he get out of that psychiatric hospital, which was stronger than a cage?
I've made up my mind to make my life no longer tainted with this, but after all, I can't fight it, isn't this a bad follow?
My answer seemed to make Xu Lang very happy, he stretched his waist and said to me, "Miss Lin must be very strange......
Before he could finish his sentence, I interrupted him and said, "You don't need to say a Miss Lin, just call me Lin Xiaoshuang, or Xiaoshuang." ”
Xu Lang smiled apologetically, and then said, "Okay, Xiaoshuang." You must think it is strange, how can I have a chance to escape from that mental hospital and walk down the street? All I can tell you is that your boyfriend almost tore down the mental hospital one night with a group of people. ”
My boyfriend? I didn't react for a while, my head was numb, but my heart was subconsciously painful. I see, he was referring to Shen Jingyun.
"Xu Lang, you misunderstood, he and I were partners and friends at that time. But it's not boyfriend and girlfriend. I explained in a low voice, and when I talked about him, I almost forgot to ask Xu Lang, what did Shen Jingyun do in the mental hospital?
"Isn't it?" He raised his eyebrows, puzzled, and then said softly, "I think you are a good match." He is so protective of you, and the look in his eyes is not ordinary, it is hard to believe that you are not a couple. ”
Shen Jingyun protecting me? I don't know how the man in front of me noticed it. As for the way I looked at Shen Jingyun at that time, was it such a nymphomaniac? I didn't know it myself, so I could only change the topic with a wry smile: "In the past few months, I have gone to one because of something, en...... It's a magical place anyway, so I didn't know something like this happened. That psychiatric hospital was simply more terrifying than a cage, and it was so heavily guarded and so mysterious, it was hard for me to imagine how Shen Jingyun did it. ”
"It's hard for me to imagine." Xu Lang leaned back in his chair for a moment, and then said to me: "You don't know how evil that hospital is, if it weren't for Shen Jingyun with a group of senior brothers and junior brothers in his mouth, and he came to the hospital to smash Huanglong, I estimate that I would never know the truth in my life." ”
Senior brother and younger brother? In my memory, Shen Jingyun's master was the old Taoist who gave me the warm yang jade, and he only had one apprentice, Shen Jingyun. And Shen Jingyun's statement is the same, where did the senior brother come from?
But this kind of thing, unless Shen Jingyun is willing to explain it to me, I will definitely not be able to think of an answer myself. However, I was curious about the hospital, and I couldn't help but ask, "What's the secret of the hospital?" ”
Xu Lang glanced at me, rubbed his face, lit a cigarette, and then asked the waiter to bring a piece of paper and a pen.
He didn't speak, but drew lightly on the pen and paper.
I really didn't expect that this SWAT drawing still has some talent, although it is only a simple representation, but the general structure of the mental hospital was clearly drawn on paper by him.
"I definitely don't know as much about the secret as Shen Jingyun, but I know that this mental hospital is on the periphery and has raised a lot of evil bugs. It's the bugs that kill those who run away, you know? ”
He handed the drawing to me, and with his pen he gently stroked it over the woods that circled the mental hospital.
Of course I knew, because the night I entered the asylum, I was burrowed into my body by that strange bug. Shen Jingyun told me that it was a Gu worm, which always reminded me of those mysterious Miao people, I heard that only they could cast Gu.
But in the next second, Xu Lang's words broke my thoughts, and he said to me a little mysteriously: "Those strange insects, I later learned that they were Gu worms." The forces that control this psychiatric hospital are countries in Southeast Asia. I don't know if it's Thailand or Myanmar or whatever, but I vaguely heard Shen Jingyun talking to his senior brother, saying that the evil forces of these countries have established a sect and are screwed together. ”
"In the woods, those strange insects are one of the most powerful Gu worms in their hands, called Blood Heat Gu. People who fall into this Gu will have a fever all over their bodies, which is initially like a fever-like symptom. As the blood continues to be hot, the blood becomes very viscous and eventually stops flowing, resulting in the death of the person. ”
Xu Lang said this, narrowed his eyes, and took a deep puff of cigarette.
I don't understand why Xu Lang told me this, just like I still don't understand, why did Xu Lang change his appearance and sit in front of me? If it weren't for the fact that I had noticed that he had no ill will towards me, and firmly believed in this intuition, I should have avoided such a strange thing.
But I couldn't resist my intense curiosity. The smoke filled between Xu Lang and me, he flicked the cigarette ash, held the pen, and unconsciously walked around the drawn picture, saying: "I wonder, why is the way the patient who ran away at that time and then died violently is so weird? Even if there is no blood coming out of the wound, most of them have been bitten by this bug. ”
"Our group of patients is pathetic, here." He pointed to a building: "There is a huge formation that absorbs our spirit every day to support a mysterious thing. ”
"That mysterious thing is underground, and there are many fierce beasts that don't know what it is guarding it. Do you remember what I told you and Shen Jingyun? Every day we were taken to a small dark room to worship a god who didn't know what it was. It is in that process that our spirit, and even our vitality, are sucked away. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Lang himself chuckled: "Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?" Xiaoshuang, but I know that you must not think it is ridiculous, after all, according to your statement, you are Shen Jingyun's partner. ”
I said, "It's not ridiculous, but it's scary." It's a lot scarier than I thought. ”
"Yes, Shen Jingyun told me that if he didn't know the location of the monster buried underground to absorb us, he would definitely not dare to do this operation easily." Xu Lang said a little tiredly.
For some reason, I suddenly remembered the huge whirlpool I saw over the hospital that day, the sound I heard similar to the roar of a tiger, and a pair of red eyes looking at me.
I sensitively feel that this matter may have something to do with me.
