In the deep darkness of the void, a kind of qi is gradually becoming stronger. It seems that with the passage of time, this breath is constantly spreading, enveloping the universe of the ten directions throughout the ages.........

In the midsummer of 2017, in a small county town in the territory of the Blue Star Republic, there was a flow of people coming and going, full of small but prosperous liveliness, and the noise was endless. Naturally, this includes a pharmacy called Baicaotang.

The cashier at the pharmacy is a teenager who looks very energetic, with neat hair and a blue T-shirt and gray-white trousers, giving people a simple and refreshing feeling, especially the black pupils that even make people feel reflective. It even makes people feel ......... A little handsome?

"Huh. Bring me a... No, take two boxes of Bunophon. "A middle-aged man came in the drugstore, dressed in gray clothes, wearing a black sunhat, and covered in sweat. It can be seen that he has been in the scorching sun for a long time. He muttered a little nervously, "I can't live anymore." ”

"Okay" The young man said yes as he quickly glanced at the man, and through a preliminary judgment of his clothes and personal temperament, it could be seen that the man's economic conditions were not very wealthy. He took out two boxes of Bunophon from the container at the exit and handed them to the man, and the young man said to the man, "Sir, the two boxes are a total of 23 yuan." ”

The man glanced at the medicine indifferently, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head and took out a hundred-dollar bill from his trouser pocket and handed it to the young man. The young man took the money quickly, looked up at the man and was about to casually ask if there were any coins for change, but his pupils shrank suddenly! I saw that from the young man's point of view, there were several pitch-black lines on the man's upper body, and the black lines seemed to be composed of some kind of strange gas, which looked like several slightly thin black poisonous snakes wrapped around the man's body. Black streaks snaked down from the top of the man's head, writhing slightly. It may be that the presence of a black visor confuses the color of the black stripes, so the teenager did not notice it at first.

"Niang Xipi, it's really unlucky! Seeing this kind of thing in broad daylight. The boy frowned, and the words that had reached his throat were swallowed back. Gotta make it more troublesome to get change. After all, why bother so much with a dying person? Pursing his lips, the boy quickly and accurately looked for the rest of the money for the man. "Sir, welcome to the next visit!" The young man said with a smile, and at the same time scolded: "I'm afraid I have to wait until the next life."

The man took the money, grabbed the two boxes of medicine and turned around and went out. The young man stared at the strange black lines on the man's body, slightly distracted. The eerie and terrifying sight on the man's body did not alarm the others, and everything seemed to be normal. But only the boy knew that the black lines he saw really existed! And judging by his experience over the years, no one else has this ability, at least to the best of his knowledge, he is unique.

His eyes are naturally able to see things that ordinary people can't see, such as ghosts! Moreover, he is not only able to see ghosts, but also some strange things that he does not understand at all. The black veins I just saw are just one of them. This black pattern often appears on the body of the dying person in his memory. The parts of the limbs that appear in the black stripes are not fixed and seem to vary from person to person, but he has also seen humans with the same parts of the black stripes. But in any case, as long as there are black lines, you haven't lived for seven days!

For as long as he can remember, his world has been filled with strange sights. He can see all kinds of "things" and "people". Since he was a child, he has been accustomed to seeing this, and he has also developed a character that is not surprised and a much more courageous person than the average person. After all, imagine that you have had these things in your life since you were a child, and you have either been scared to death and gone crazy for a long time, or you have long been used to it.

"Li Chao, come over and help with the tally." Hu Changhong, the manager of the pharmacy, saw that the young man had nothing to do, so he greeted him. "Well, here we are!" The ordinary boy named Li Chao stopped thinking and walked quickly to the side to help, the weird scene just now was just an episode for him, and it had no practical significance. Because, I don't know how many people die every day in this world, and he is not a savior, so why bother so much. What's more, Li Chao can only see a little truth, and he doesn't have the ability and obligation to care about so much. He is just an ordinary teenager, and living every day is the best portrayal of Li Chao's daily life. It's just that Li Chao, who is busy, doesn't know. Since a certain moment, the world has changed. An unpredictable wave of change will sweep across the planet, and no one can avoid it。。。。。

After a busy morning until 12 o'clock at noon, Li Chao finally had a two-hour lunch break to rest. The staff of this pharmacy has good benefits, including three meals a day, and each meal is ordered by the employees themselves and reimbursed to the store. In the past, Li Chao would have lunch in these two hours, and then sit on a chair in the pharmacy to take a nap to relieve fatigue. But after eating at noon today, Li Chao was a little uneasy, as if he was about to face a catastrophe, and a depressed and heavy feeling hung in his heart.

"How this is done, inexplicable." Li Chao was a little depressed and began to think about whether anything had happened recently. Because of Li Chao's special childhood and the strange events he has seen and heard, he believes that his intuition is not groundless. "That's right, that man!" Suddenly, Li Chao's mind recalled the strange middle-aged man he had seen in the morning. Putting aside the weird black lines on his upper body, the man himself was a little weird when he thought about it. As a common painkiller, a box of butoxin is large enough for a person to take it for more than a week. But he bought two boxes, and when he took the medicine, the range of movement was inevitably too large, and Li Chao could even see the green tendons on the man's hands! This shows that men are very hard when they take medicine, and medicine has no enmity with men, from the perspective of action psychology, men are likely to use medicine as a substitute for some kind of person or thing, and the unconsciously exerted effort of the wrist reflects his hatred or fear of the other party?

"Niang Xipi, there is too little information to analyze anything" Li Chao scratched his hair with a headache, and his intuition told Li Chao that the hunch in his heart was likely to have something to do with that man. "But, I don't know him, even if he is going to die, how can he have anything to do with me?" Li Chao, what's wrong with you frowning? Hu Changhong, the store manager who was on duty with Li Chao at noon, asked with concern: "Is it uncomfortable?" "Huh? Oh, it's okay! The head hurts a little, but it will be fine after a while. Li Chao interrupted his thinking when he heard the store manager's words and replied.

After a while, Li Chao said: "Store manager, I'll wait a while, and a customer will call me." The store manager smiled and agreed. Seeing this, Li Chao buried the problem in his heart, and prepared to sleep first, after all, it was a very busy morning............

In a slightly deserted community, a vigorous locust tree stands in the middle of a green belt, flanked by patches of green grass and sparse flowers. Although there was a continuous breeze, the branches and leaves of the locust tree remained motionless, like an old man who was about to die, and the twilight was gloomy. It is a strange picture with the flowers and plants swaying in the wind around it.

Tread, tread, tread......... There was a sound of footsteps in the empty community, and a middle-aged man lowered his head as if he was slowly passing by the locust tree and walking towards a residential building marked 4. The moment the man passed by the locust tree, the branches and leaves of the locust tree trembled as if they had been slapped by a big hand without a row, and then the leaves fell one after another to become nutrients for the flowers and plants. Perhaps because the noon sun was too strong, there was no one else in the community except for an old security man who slept soundly in the security booth, and naturally no one saw the strange scene of the locust tree.

In Room 401 on the fourth floor of the No. 4 residential building, the man took out his wallet from his pocket and rummaged for the key, and there was an ID card on the wallet card bag - Tang Shengli, Minh Quang County, Republic of China, born on April 14, 1974. Tang Shengli found the key, opened the door, and walked in. Although there was a shoe rack and a replacement slipper at the door, Tang Shengli walked directly to the inner room after turning around and closing the door and locking it, without even stopping at the shoe rack for a second. Tang Shengli walked to the door of a bedroom, stood and put his ear to the wooden door to listen to the movement. A minute later, Tang Shengli, who was sure that there was no movement in the house, quickly opened the door and rushed in at a speed that was diametrically opposed to the sluggish and slow image before! His hand was in the door the moment he entered............ Reach into your arms!
