Chapter 1: The Woman Downstairs
The sun shone through the curtains on the face of the man sleeping on the bed, anxious, nervous, and difficult to breathe, making his face even more hideous. The man www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" is still having that nightmare that can't be shaken off: the woman is holding the window edge with her hands, she can't let go, she knows that what greets her under letting go is death, she is afraid of ....... feet hanging in the air and desperately trying to find the fulcrum, but she is dozens of meters away from the ground, no, it is like a bottomless hell in the dark night...... "Ah...... Woo......" The woman's scared cry almost came out of her throat, her fingers climbing on the window edge were slowly slipping down, she was so tired...... "Help me...... Please......" The woman looked at the man in front of her with longing eyes, the man in the light, he was hope for the woman, "Ah......" one of the woman's hands slipped down, "Help me...... I'm pregnant with your child......" she choked up and said this, tears slipped from her innocent expectant eyes, the man stood there looking at her, his expressionless face trembled slightly, the man finally stretched out a hand, the woman couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and smiled with tears, "Then you will take him to death with you......" The man said the last sentence to the woman coldly and ruthlessly, "Ah......" The woman's last scream seemed to be full of resentment. Downstairs, the woman was lying staring at the window, the blood coming out of her leg was unusually eye-catching...... Exceptionally eye-catching. The woman's eyes...... It's in a dream again, in a man's dream. "Ah......" The man was suddenly awakened, sweating profusely, breathing nervously, and unconsciously looking at the window......
There are most streets in Beijing, and the most streets are shops. There is a tea shop, the tea room, no matter how busy or deserted the business is, they open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. on time. Every day...... Customers who frequent the patronage know that there is a man and a woman inside, and those who don't know think they are a couple, but in fact the man is the owner of this tea shop, named Zhang Sheng. And the woman is a waitress at this store, named Sakura. Zhang Sheng has never liked to deal with people, he doesn't even say a few words a day, he just needs to stand in front of the counter every day to collect money, and then sit there quietly looking at the crowd coming and going at the door. On the contrary to Zhang Sheng, Sakura is a cheerful and lively waitress who smiles every day, especially the old customers in the store like her very much, and always make fun of her, Sakura's job is to run around every day, serving tea and pouring water to customers.
"Alas, Sakura-chan, is my tea ready, why did it take so long to ......" In the store, Mr. Wang, a customer sitting at the window, urged a little impatiently. Mr. Wang - is a regular customer of this tea room, he comes almost every day, he seems to be in his forties, whether it is from his slit eyes or the bald top of his head, it is difficult to associate him with the image of the teacher, it is estimated that he also realizes this, so he hangs a pen on his chest every day, and walks with his hands pinned behind his back.
"Here, here......" Sakura holds a tray with a pot of freshly boiled tea on top of it and a plate of snacks next to it. Coming with a smile on her face, because it was summer, Sakura was dressed very coolly, her white skin and slender wrists, especially the bell with a red string tied to her wrist, and she was even more thin. With a short ponytail and big eyes, she looks very refreshing and moving.
"I'm sorry, the tea just ran out today, and everything was a little delayed......" put it on the table, and explained to Mr. Wang with a low waist and a smile.
"What's the difference between you and a student being late for class......" Teacher Wang pretended to be serious and secretly glanced at her aggrieved face, "Hahaha...... But I'm a teacher, and I forgive you. ”
Teacher Wang looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Hehehe...... Yes Yes Yes ...... Thank you for your forgiveness," Sakura bowed with her hands crossed.
"Uh......" Teacher Wang looked at the bell on Sakura's wrist curiously, grabbed her hand and shook it curiously, "Why doesn't this bell ring?" ”
"Hehe, who said that the bell must ring......" Sakura responded with a smile as she looked at the bell on her wrist.
"Hmm......" Mr. Wang let go boredly, picked up the teapot and poured it into the teacup......
"Waiter ......"
"Alas, here it is......"
Night, gradually...... The café was gone, and Sakura stood in the doorway, staring blankly at the moon in the sky, the old-fashioned clock behind her ticking, and the second hand turning a few more times until seven o'clock in the evening......
"When...... While...... When "the old-fashioned clock sways from side to side, it makes a screeching sound." Zhang Sheng walked from behind, he was wearing a black coat, his tall figure stood behind Sakura and he looked unusually tall, the corners of his well-defined face and the quiet eyes and serious lips made him look more unapproachable and ...... than during the day Terrible.
"Miss, everything is ready......" Zhang Sheng's cold voice sounded from behind him.
Sakura stood in the doorway with a serious face, completely different from her lively and cheerful during the day, "Ready...... Let's hunt......" Sakura closed her eyes and suddenly opened her eyes, looking forward solemnly.
The man walked into the hotel wearing a jacket, sunglasses, and a mask. It's strange that the weather in July is so thick.
"Give me a room," the man said lightly, ......
"Okay sir, please ...... later" The salesman handed out the room card, "to sir, room 704 ......"
"Hiss......" The man stretched out his hand tremblingly, grabbed a handful and threw it away, "Change a ......" The man was slightly nervous.
The salesman was a little scared, "Ao...... Empty...... There are still vacant rooms...... 706,7……”
"Don't ...... on the seventh floor," the man shouted angrily by banging his hand on the counter.
"And 601...... But the double ......" the salesman responded in fear.
"That's ......"
At night, the lights under the street lamps always reflect the shadows of the trees, which is particularly weird, and Sakura likes to walk on these shadows the most in such a dark night, and likes to step on these shadows the most, because ......
"Have you noticed that the woman who just walked past us is strange......"
"Where? You're not going to look at her pretty...... right."
"I peeked at her pretty a few times, but I found ...... She...... There seems to be no shadow."
"Alas, hurry up, hurry up......"
Downstairs, next to the open space. Sakura stopped abruptly as she passed...... The bell on the wrist kept vibrating and tinking......
In the tea room, Zhang Sheng stood in front of the heated tea and watched quietly, only to see that the fire under the tea suddenly increased, and the fire was so red...... It's like blood.
On the bed, the man tossed and turned, and the noise of the man and woman outside the door made it difficult for him to sleep...... The curtains swayed from side to side in the wind, and he looked at the pillow that continued to lie on his back, his eyes open in a daze...... The noise of men and women outside the door intensified, and the man became angry and walked to the door angrily and opened the door. "Don't make any noise......" looked into the hallway, and it was empty...... The man was curious, closed the door, and the quarrel rang out again...... The man was helpless, lay on the bed, lifted the quilt and covered his head. ......The knock on the door sounded, and the man realized if he had misheard, raised his head to look out at the door, and the knock on ......the door sounded again. The man gets up and opens the door......
"Hello, the meal you ordered ......"
"Come in......" The man looked down the hallway again, still empty.
"Which room is so noisy, can you make them quiet......" The man rubbed his head.
"Are you sure you can hear it?"
"Can't you hear me?" The man frowned, slightly impatient
"As far as I know, you're the only one on this floor."
The man's movement with the bread in his hand suddenly stopped, and the sound of the quarrel was now only the cry of the woman. The man put down the bread and looked at the curtains that swayed from side to side in the wind as the window was blown by the wind. "Can you close the window for me?"
"Windows? The windows were closed all the time......"
The man was surprised and looked at the woman opposite him with a little fear, shoulder-length short hair, big eyes, an expressionless face, and a bell tied with a red string around her wrist. And also......
"Ah......" the man cried out in fear, "you...... You're pregnant. He looked at her slightly puffed stomach in surprise.
"Yes, it's been a long time......"
"Why didn't I see it just now...... Hiss...... Blood ......" the man looked at the woman in front of him who was bleeding from her lower body. I didn't dare to look directly, and my eyes were closed.
"You, human beings who take the lives of others at will." A cold voice reached the man's ears. The man trembled and looked up at the woman in front of him, who was now wearing a red robe resembling an ancient costume, holding a porcelain cup carved with plum blossoms, filled with tea, "Drink this cup of tea, your dirty hands will be cleansed, and your sinful soul will be reincarnated." Sakura looked at him expressionlessly.
The man shook his head in surprise, "Are you a human or a ghost......"
"It's not human, it's not a ghost......," Sakura responded coldly, slowly approaching him with tea.
The man was so frightened that he squeezed on the side of the bed, looked at the tea in his hand, and shook his head with fear on his face, "What is this?" ”
"Ordinary tea, ordinary water, the only thing that is not ordinary is ...... Fire - The fire of hell that punishes evil spirits. ”
The man was overwhelmed and made his rounds around...... The doorway, the window is still ...... The man turned his head and reached out to grab the phone next to the bed, nervously pressed a few buttons...... "Hey, hey......" trembling voice. "Hey...... Is it the front desk? Come to 601, ...... Come on...... Hurry up ......"
"Sorry sir, you made a mistake, here is ...... Zero," a cold man's voice rang on the other end of the phone.
The man put down the phone in despair, his eyes blank. Hanging his head and trembling to get up. "Hehehe...... Hahaha...... Don't move," suddenly looked up, took out a gun, and pointed it at Sakura opposite. "I don't care what you are, I've killed people with this gun...... Hahaha......" laughed in a wicked voice. "Haha...... Woo~"Tears fell," she said that she was tired of quarreling with me every day in addition to quarreling and quarrelling, so she found a little white face...... "Suddenly excited, "Phew, she is just cheap to find an excuse to leave me, and then be with her little white face." So that night, I killed her little white face, and I used this gun......" gestured to the gun in my hand, "but that woman wanted to denounce me, hehe...... I'll give her ......" and looked at the window with a hideous face, "The woman lied to me before she died...... Hehe, he has been with that little white face for so long, how can he conceive my child...... It just so happened that I was sending them on a family reunion. Hehehe......" The man laughed fiercely, looked at Sakura on the opposite side viciously, and put down the gun, wanting to detain that moment. A pair of hands stretched out from behind, extending along his arms to his hands, and then holding the gun in his hand, Zhang Sheng's cold face appeared behind him, and the man was surprised. Zhang Sheng gently held the gun and pressed it against the man's head. "We never force anyone, so now you have two choices, either die or drink that cup...... The antidote to self-redemption......" Zhang Sheng's cold voice sounded from behind the man.
The man looked at the tea in Sakura's hand in a daze, his pupils widened. Lips twitch slightly.
"It turns out that there really is a messenger of yin spirits in the world...... I drink ......"
