Out of the corridor of the inner door, there is a courtyard courtyard.

The sound of crying and screaming came from the room on the north side.

The windows of that room were all covered with yellow tape, and it looked very weird.

The old man ran straight over, pushed open the door and entered the room.

Lin Chu followed, and when he walked to the door, he saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy crying frantically in the house.

There is no furniture in this room.

The boy was also wearing nothing.

There are many white powder crystals on the walls and floors.

"Xiao Gang!"

The old man called out the boy's name and rushed over to hug him.

But the boy pushed the old man away directly.

The old man fell backwards to the ground, a hint of pain on his face.

Lin Chu immediately rushed over to help him up: "Old man, are you okay?" ”

At this time, the boy suddenly rushed to the wall and shouted at the white wall: "You damned slugs, I will shoot you to death!" I'm going to shoot you all to death! ”

He seemed to have gone crazy for a while, and kept slapping, pushing, and kicking the wall with the palms of his hands, knees, and soles of his feet.

In the end, I hit it with my head!

Within two strokes, his forehead was bleeding.

Lin Chu was dumbfounded, this ...... What's wrong with this?

The old man said anxiously, "Young man, please help me hold him." ”

Lin Chu immediately walked over and hugged the naked boy from behind.

Although the boy looked very lean and had no flesh on his body, his strength was surprisingly great.

Several times he almost broke free.

The old man hurried to find a soft cloth rope and a chair, tied the boy to the chair, and stuffed his mouth with a cloth ball.

It's finally quiet.

When Lin Chu let go of his hand, he was already sweating profusely, and it was not easy to deal with such a "patient" at all.

The old man said gratefully, "Thank you, young man, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know what I would have done." ”

Lin Chu waved his hand and asked curiously, "Old man, what disease does your grandson have?" ”

The old man said gloomily: "I don't know what's wrong with him, at first, he was just very scared, locked himself in his room all day, and then gradually his spirit became more and more abnormal, like today's mental breakdown and hallucinations, yesterday has already appeared once." ”

Lin Chu glanced at the boy in the chair sympathetically: "Then why didn't you send him to the hospital?" ”

The old man said: "It's useless, I asked the doctor to come to the house to see it, and he said that Xiaogang's physical indicators are normal, and he has a mental problem, as if he has been frightened and stimulated." I'm going to take Xiaogang out, but he doesn't want to leave this room. ”

What frightened you?

Lin Chu glanced at Xiao Gang carefully, and at this time, Xiao Gang's eyes were blank, and he was slumped and leaned back in the chair.

His face was very dull, his dark circles were heavy, his eyeballs were a little bulging, and he was covered in bloodshot all around.

It seems that he has been in a high level of mental tension for a long time and has not been well rested.

Lin Chu asked, "When did he start this situation?" ”

The old man replied, "It started at the end of last month." ”

Lin Chu calculated the time: "It's been almost twenty days since I said this. ”

The old man nodded.

Lin Chu asked again: "Do you remember what was abnormal that day?" ”

The old man recalled: "I remember that it was raining heavily on those two days, and Xiao Gang drove out in the afternoon, saying that he was going to celebrate a friend's birthday, and then he didn't come back until the evening. He came back with a very bad face, but at that time he had no problem, and the next day during the day, he drove out again, and when he came back, he began to lock himself in the house. ”

Lin Chu said: "Old man, can you tell me in detail about the situation when he came back at night and the next day, maybe I can help Xiao Gang." ”

"Really?"

The old man's eyes flashed with excitement: "Young man, from the moment you want to make such a precious ebony into an evil dagger, I know that you are definitely not an ordinary person. Old man, my son died young, just such a grandson, if you can cure him, I am willing to make you a cow and a horse! ”

"Old man, you're serious. You help me make a dagger for free, and I should do you a little favor. ”

Lin Chu continued: "So please tell me the details of the situation at that time." The doctors all said that Xiao Gang's illness was mentally frightened and stimulated, and we can only dissolve his heart knot and let him return to normal only if we know what Xiao Gang encountered at that time. ”

The old man nodded approvingly: "Xiao Gang didn't come back until three o'clock that night, he was drenched in rain at that time, and there was a lot of yellow mud on his clothes and pants. I asked him what was wrong, and he said that he had fallen while climbing the mountain, and when he asked him again, he got angry and told me to leave it alone. Early the next morning, it was still raining outside, so he drove out again, and when he returned, he shut himself in his room. ”

Going hiking on a rainy day?

This argument seems untenable.

And why do you have to go out at dawn the next day?

Lin Chu then asked: "When Xiao Gang came back the next morning, were his clothes and shoes stained with yellow mud again?" ”

The old man nodded: "But it's a lot less than at night." ”

Lin Chuxin had a point.

It seems that at dawn the next day, Xiao Gang drove to the same place again.

What is it that is reassuring to go at night and to confirm it the next day at dawn?

A terrible idea, already taking shape.

Lin Chu then glanced around the room, and then asked suspiciously, "Why is there no furniture in this room?" ”

The old man replied, "There used to be, but after that day, slugs appeared everywhere in our house, and Xiao Gang's room was the most. Strange to say, Xiao Gang has never been afraid of slugs, and even when he was a child, he liked to catch slugs the most. But now Xiao Gang was very frightened when he saw the slugs, so he asked me to move all the furniture out of the house so as not to hide the slugs, and also asked me to seal the windows with tape from the outside so that the slugs would not get in. ”

Lin Chu glanced at Xiao Gang and said, "He didn't wear a single piece of clothing on him, is it also because of this?" ”

The old man nodded: "He was afraid that the slugs would hide in his clothes, so he didn't even dare to wear clothes." ”

Lin Chu frowned slightly.

In a downtown house, a large number of slugs appear every day.

A boy who has never been afraid of slugs is so afraid that he doesn't even dare to wear clothes.

Unless, the boy knew, the slugs were coming for him.

Will there be some kind of intrinsic connection between these slugs in the old store and the slugs that appeared on the seat of the sports car after "Ma Xiaoxiao" left last night?

Lin Chu was thinking about it, and his eyes fell on the white powder crystals on the ground again, so he asked, "These are salt, right?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, it's salt." After sprinkling salt, most of the slugs can't get in. But every day, there are still more than a dozen fish that slip through the net, and I don't know where they crawled in. ”

Lin Chu had also heard of the saying that sprinkling salt on the slugs could melt the slugs.

Although he was curious about whether this was true or not since he was a child.

But he has never done such a cruel experiment.

"Old man, can you let me go and see Xiaogang's car?"

"This way, please."

The old man took Lin Chu to the garage.

Lin Chu walked around the van: "Is this car usually driven by Xiao Gang?" ”

The old man nodded.

Lin Chu asked curiously: "Does he have a driver's license?" ”

The old man said, "Yes, yes, yes." He just got his driver's license at the beginning of the year, so I bought him this car. ”

Lin Chu was puzzled: "Why did you buy him a van?" ”

The old man said: "This is all requested by Xiaogang, because he usually has to go out with his friends and can't sit in the car." ”

Lin Chu continued to ask: "Haven't you moved this car since it drove back that day?" ”

The old man shook his head: "No, since Xiao Gang came back that morning, he has been stopping here." ”

At this time, a guest outside came to the door to call the boss, and the old man gave Lin Chu the car key, and hurriedly ran out to receive him.

Lin Chu didn't open the car door in a hurry, but squatted down to check the bottom of the car and the wheels.

The car was clean and there was no mud.

It should be that after driving the car home that day, Xiao Gang had already washed the car.

Lin Chu then opened the trunk and saw the hoe and shovel.

His brow furrowed.

Then he opened the front door to check, and in the gap in the back seat of the car, he felt for a handful of women's long hair, which was still covered with blood.

The prototype of the terrible idea in Lin Chu's heart before has now basically been confirmed.
