Chapter Twenty-Five: Another Nightmare
This is already the third letter of the week, and the first two letters repeat the same words: "Kill Shen Xu!" "I looked at the brown envelope that appeared at home for no apparent reason, and I was angry and full of fear. "When the first envelope appeared, my wife, who was originally very healthy, suddenly died of unexplained stomach cancer.www.biquge.info When the second letter appeared, my child also died in front of me due to an accident. What's this time?! Is it my turn?! Looking at the envelope in front of me, I muttered involuntarily.
For a week, my loved ones have left me one after another, and I can only watch them die. "Shen Xu, are you really so damned?!" As I spoke, I picked up the envelope on the table and opened it with trembling hands. It was still a red card wrapped in white paper, but this time in addition to the words "kill Shen Xu", there was also an extra line of words, with an address written on it.
"Could this be where Shen Xu lives?" Thinking of this, I hesitated. I was startled by the sudden ringing of the phone, and hurriedly took out my phone from my pocket and picked it up. On the other end of the phone, the voice of the secretary of the company boss came: "Wang Xian, there is an important meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon, prepare the copywriting you did last time, don't be late......" Before I could reply, she hung up the phone in a hurry.
I threw my phone on the table and looked at the letter in front of me like a talisman, how could I be in any mood for a meeting. But as soon as the phone was thrown on the table, it rang again.
I put down the envelope impatiently, didn't look at the phone, picked up the phone casually and shouted: "Got it, got it, it's going to be a meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon...... The voice didn't fall, but there was a terrible cry from the other side that seemed like a wild cat before its tragic death. Although it was noon and the sun was shining, my hands shook in fright, and the phone fell to the ground with a "pop". In the empty room, even if the speakerphone is not turned on, you can still hear the terrifying scream coming from the microphone.
Just as I was feeling a chill down my spine, the screams seemed to be slowly changing, and became a bit like a woman's voice. As I listened closely, I suddenly realized that the screams were very similar to those of my dead wife. As soon as he reacted, he was about to lean over to pick up the phone, when the voice stopped abruptly.
My movements froze, and tears welled up in my eyes. "Could it be... That's what it did to me... I sobbed and muttered to myself. At this moment, my heart was close to a deep breakdown. But there was an extremely firm belief in his mind: "All this is because of Shen Xu, I want to kill him...... Kill him!!! ”
Thinking of this, for some reason my heart is not so sad, but becomes a little calmer. "Just kill him, and my life will be back to normal, right?" I muttered to myself as I sorted out my things for the afternoon meeting, and before I left, I put the letter back in the envelope and took it with me.
When I came to the company's conference room, I was still a little distracted. During the meeting, I only heard the boss angrily calling my name, "Wang Xian... Wang Xian! What about the documents you want to prepare?! I came back to my senses and casually chimed in, "Oh... Oh, bring it, here...", he pulled something out of his bag and handed it to the boss.
I don't know how long it took for this boring meeting to finally end. At the end of the meeting, the boss walked up to me, slammed the document on the table with a "snap" and said: "Do you not want to do it, do you know that because your company has lost an important customer, do you know how much benefit this customer will bring to the company!" It's good now, not only can't you make money, but you have to lose money. Tell me whose loss it is?! ”
When I heard this, I blurted out without thinking, "Count it in." The boss sneered: "Heh, count it on yours?" Good boy, you said it. As he spoke, he pulled out the pen in his breast pocket and brought a blank piece of paper. He wrote a few lines on it, handed it to me and said, "This is an IOU, didn't you say it's yours?" If you have to raise the bar with me, then we will end up with the bar, and if you really have such a kind, you will sign it for me. ”
I looked up at the boss, who was holding an IOU in his hand and looking domineering, as if to say to me: I'll bet you don't dare to sign it, how about it?!
In other words, I would have been pleading in a low voice. But at this time, I somehow snatched the IOU and pen from the boss's hand, signed my name without hesitation, and got up at the same time and walked towards the door of the conference room. As soon as I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered something, turned around and said coldly to the boss who was in place: "By the way, I won't do it." With that, he left the company.
Today's series of abnormal behaviors is so strange that even I can't believe it. Walking down the street, I tried to question what was wrong with myself, but I was silenced by another voice inside. The voice kept telling me, "Kill Shen Xu, this will all be over, nothing matters now, as long as you kill him, everything will return to normal......"
Before I knew it, I came to a market and I went in and bought a knife. Then I followed the address written on the card and found the community where Shen Xu lived.
When I came to the door of Shen Xu's house, I rang the doorbell without thinking. A moment later the door opened, and it was a woman with a beautiful face. My intuition told me that she must not be Shen Xu, so I opened my mouth and asked, "Is Shen Xu at home?" The woman looked at me suspiciously and said, "Is there anything you are looking for him?" ”
"That's right, I'm a friend of his, and I have some personal matters to talk to him, so it may not be convenient to talk to you directly. If he's at home, can you please call him? I forced a smile on my face. She saw that I refused to say that I insisted on seeing Shen Xu, so she replied: "That's right, but he is out now, not at home." Why don't you come in and wait for him....."
With that, she took two steps back and motioned for me to come in. I wasn't going to be polite to her anymore, "That's all there is to it." So saying, he went into the house. When I entered the house, I found that there was another man in the house, who was wearing glasses and looked polite, "He probably won't spoil me." "I originally thought that it would be okay to have only one woman, but there was one more man, and I inevitably had a trace of concern in my heart.
When he saw me enter the house, he got up from the couch and asked, "Do you want something to drink?" "No need." I sat perfunctorily on another couch a little further away from him. They didn't ask me anything after that, they just let me sit there.
As the minutes ticked by, I don't know if it was because of nervousness or anxiety, but the hand I had in my jacket pocket was already sweating a little from holding the handle of the knife for a long time. Just as I was about to lose my patience completely, the door suddenly opened, and a man walked in through it.
The woman who received me just now saw someone coming back and hurriedly greeted her. The man who had just come back from outside the door was talking to the woman in a low voice, and from time to time he cast a puzzled look at me, which made me look very uncomfortable.
After a while, they seemed to finish talking, and the man who had just entered the door opened the door and sat down next to me.
At this moment, I felt a stirring in my body, and my consciousness was gradually lost, as if something was eating away at my soul. All of a sudden, I couldn't feel "me" anymore.
……
"Go down down and see what's going on!" I anxiously shouted to Li Zhisheng and Hu Fang, but Hu Fang hadn't come back to his senses yet, with an expression of surprise. And Li Zhisheng had already run to the balcony at the same time as the gunshot, he pointed downstairs and shouted at me: "It seems to be the person just now, he seems to be dead, Hu Fang, you take care of Shen Xu, I'll go down and take a look at ......" Saying that, Li Zhisheng pulled his legs and ran out.
Hu Fang came back to his senses when he heard Li Zhisheng's words, "Huh? Oh... Okay, there you go. I looked at Hu Fang's confused expression and sighed helplessly.
Li Zhisheng had been down for more than ten minutes, and I was starting to be a little worried, and I wanted Hu Fang to go down and have a look. At this moment, Li Zhisheng stood at the door panting and said to me, "That... The man robbed the policeman's... Gun, suicide! "What?!" Hu Fang was originally helping me treat my wounds, but when I heard Li Zhisheng say this, I screamed, and then my hand shook and poured all the disinfectant alcohol on my wound.
In an instant, the wound felt as if it had been torn open. In pain, I rolled to the ground, "I... I tell you, if you do this again, it will be another human life! Seeing this, Li Zhisheng hurriedly came over to help me up, took a medical cotton to help me wipe off some alcohol, and said to me seriously: "Everyone is killed, you still have the heart to make trouble." ”
I glanced at him, bared my teeth and said, "Who's making trouble!" Hu Fang lowered his head on the side, like a child who had done something wrong and was blamed. I didn't blame her anymore, and continued to ask Li Zhisheng: "What happened, what did you see when you went down just now?" Li Zhisheng cleared his throat and said: "When I went down, the person who was going to kill you just now was already dead, and he took advantage of the police's inattention to snatch the police gun, and then committed suicide by raising the gun." By the way, I found this ...... next to the corpse," he said, holding out a brown envelope.
It was an unopened envelope, and the fire paint on it was still intact. I took the letter and asked, "How did you get this?!" Hearing me ask, a smug look appeared on his face, "I saw some things scattered next to the man's body, and among them was this one, I think it looks very similar to the envelope you got before, maybe it will help you, so I secretly picked it up." ”
After listening, I gave Li Zhisheng a thumbs up and said, "You're so fucking witty!" "Would you like to see what's inside?" Li Zhisheng didn't answer my words, but just asked himself. I'd love to see what's in it now. But I remember the text message saying that no one else should know about it, or they would die. And now I firmly believe that what the text message said was more than just intimidation.
