Chapter 276: Night Stalker
In the middle of summer in July, the nights in Shanghai-Hangzhou Union City were surprisingly hot.
The sun in the northern hemisphere of the earth did not reluctantly bid farewell to the earth until nearly seven o'clock, and after nightfall, the earth began to transpirate again, and the wind blowing from the sea had become weak through the layers of high-rise buildings in the urban area, and it was stirred by the heat of the earth, which made people feel more stuffy.
Even though it is located on the shore of a large lake, with the wind blowing from the lake, the vicinity of the Third Military Academy is still sweltering.
At this time, apart from the speeding cars and spaceships speeding in the sky, there are very few pedestrians on the streets below.
After returning home in the afternoon, Anna kept circling Lu An, even when Lu An was cooking dinner in the kitchen, she also followed closely and never left.
After dinner, Lu An sat in the living room and chatted, in fact, she kept talking, and Lu An listened with a smile.
It wasn't until late at night that Lu An finally put down his stiff smile and said goodnight to Anna.
"My brother is probably a little tired from a long journey, so he is listless. Yes, the distance between Mars and Earth is getting farther and farther away, and it seems that it takes half a month to go back and forth at a time. No wonder my brother delayed for so long this time! β
Before going to bed, Anna looked at the tightly closed door and thought with some chagrin: "I should have thought of this a long time ago, I shouldn't have pulled my brother to say that, I should have let him rest earlier." β
It's just that after looking forward to Lu An's return for a long time, her wish was fulfilled for a while, but Anna couldn't sleep excitedly, sometimes snickering and tilting her ears to try to listen to her brother's breathing, sometimes thinking about tomorrow's life, thinking of future plans and then rolling in bed with shame, and tossing until late at night when tiredness finally hit and fell asleep.
Sleeping until 10 midnight, Anna seemed to hear someone laughing in her dream, she rolled over, muttered "these pesky night owls", and then sank back into her dream.
However, the "cluck" in her ears was intermittent, constantly invading her ears, and Anna, who finally woke up from the haze, rubbed her eyes, got up and got out of bed, and sure enough, she heard the nasty night owl screaming intermittently again.
On the edge of the Great Lake, a key biodiversity reserve in the 13th region of the world, some birds often fly around in the big lake, catching fish that have been indulged by humans to the point of ignorance.
In the past, Lu An once said to Anna: "Anyway, if I don't catch it, those birds will catch it, and one less fish in the big lake can't starve those stupid birds, but we will starve to death." Therefore, it is the birds who are kind enough to give us these fish. β
Every time Anna worries about Lu An, Lu An always prevaricates Anna with reasons like these.
It's just that although Lu An said "kind-hearted birds", he didn't really appreciate those birds, and even hated some birds.
Especially in the middle of summer, the fish, insects, aquatic plants are abundant, and there are more birds that fly to the big lake, and they often collide with these birds when they live close to the big lake, but due to the many restrictions of human laws and regulations and various advanced monitoring methods, even those who are hit by the stupid birds can only retreat. Even if those birds are in front of your door, throw some snakeheads and rattails or something, and throw away some excrement.
If a bird builds a nest in your house and comes uninvited, then you are out of luck and have a real "uncle" living in your house. Every few days, people from the "Joint Association for the Promotion of the Environment of the Human World", which regards everyone as suspects in the murder of wild animals, come to their homes to monitor whether the physical and mental health of these "uncles" has been "abused".
However, what Lu An dislikes is not for many of the above reasons.
Anna remembers one time when he was woken up by the screams of a night owl and yelled, "When a night owl enters the house, good things don't come, bad luck." β
As for why he was unlucky, Lu An never refused to tell Anna the reason.
If it's just because it's a bad sound, why do you say bad luck?
However, it was probably infected by Lu An, and from then on, Anna also began to hate this kind of noisy and dreamy bird in the middle of the night.
Unexpectedly, on the first day my brother came back, this kind of stupid bird came to make trouble, it's really damned!
Anna gently opened the door barefoot and saw her brother curled up in a ball, sleeping in the living room, breathing steadily, apparently sleeping soundly.
She nodded slightly, but fortunately she didn't wake up her brother.
Coming to the window of the living room and letting in the light of the window, Anna glanced out of the street, and the dark shadows of the trees could not see the figures of the silly birds.
I listened intently for a while, but fortunately these stupid birds were interested, and did not continue to scream any more.
Turning the curtain back to a state of opaque, Anna returned to the room lightly, looked at the sleeping Lu An for a moment, and then gently closed the door.
It was because she didn't want to quarrel with her brother before, so she deliberately closed the door, you know, usually this door is never closed.
However, as soon as Anna's door closed, Lu An, who was curled up motionless and sleeping a moment ago, immediately opened his eyes, trembling all over, and tried his best to suppress the voice in his throat.
He had just fallen into the darkness before, but he saw the firelight, as well as a wisp of green smoke in the firelight, and the crisp voice of the daughter in Ayu's arms, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying, kept echoing in his mind.
In the darkness, the blood is red and snow-white, the red blood light reflects the fire that will never be extinguished, and the white and tender skin sets off the white frost curling with green smoke.
knew that she was dreaming, but looking at Su Ruyu's smiling face in the dream, and the child in her arms with a blurred face but outstretched hands, Lu An struggled to wake up, not to wake up.
So, where is there a night owl, the night owl is this man who is still dreaming of his dead wife at night.
Of course, the two are still somewhat similar, after all, the reason why Lu An used to feel bad luck was because he didn't know where he had seen it, the night owl was a symbol of death in ancient times, and Lu An, who was trying his best to prolong his sister Anna's life, of course didn't like such signs, although he didn't believe in these fate, fate and the like from the beginning.
Now, they are indeed symbols of death, death-ridden beings.
It's just that Lu An deliberately got close to death in his dream, but he couldn't keep the deceased.
Life is like a dream.
Dreams, there is always a time to wake up. Someone else's dream wakes up, and his dream continues.
However, what woke Lu An up from his sleep was the pain that spread all over his body from the little finger of his left hand, and when he struggled between the haze, his sense of touch became extremely keen, and the lost little thumb kept reminding him not to forget, not to forget the fact that Su Ruyu died, and not to forget the names of the enemies in his mind.
Don't forget the hatred, and you have to wake up from the false illusion of reunion.
Just before Anna got up and got out of bed and opened the door, Lu An suddenly opened his eyes, and the pain that swept through his body made him curl up, and then the sound of Anna opening the door froze all his actions, until she closed the door again.
Repeated reincarnation in nightmares and pain, this torment has lasted for more than a month.
Unless it is when he completely faints, such as when Lu An breaks his finger on Mars, or when his body has lacked sleep to the extreme, and he falls asleep completely unconscious, so that Lu An can temporarily get rid of such reincarnation.
So, Lu An stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, silently reciting the names of one by one, one by one, over and over again in his heart, until dawn, when he had not closed his eyes for three days, he finally fainted.
And Anna, who gently pushed open the door in the morning, saw her brother who was still asleep, yawned silently, and blamed herself in her heart: "My brother is really too tired, and he has already woken up at this time." β
After a moment of hesitation at the kitchen door, she turned away lightly.
Although she really wanted to make breakfast and wait for her brother to wake up, the sound insulation of this old house was so poor that she could hear the stupid chirping of the stupid birds outside at night, let alone the sound of the kitchen door, so it was better not to wake her sleeping brother.
"Todayββ, I still don't want to go to school, I want to stay at home with my brother."
Anna, who turned around, looked at Lu An in the living room and sighed in her heart.
However, thinking of Feng Tingting, who transferred to Mingguang University last year, has been extremely enthusiastic about herself during this time, Anna frowned.
If she doesn't go to school today, Feng Tingting will know soon, and it's hard to guarantee that she won't guess that her brother has returned.
Hmph, let her know that a day is a day late!
A long, long time ago, probably before Anna knew that she could be cured last year, Anna actually had a good impression of Feng Tingting in her heart, because after she died, she was probably the only one who could accompany her brother, who had always had few "female friends", to soothe Lu Anxin's sadness.
Therefore, Anna also deliberately got close to this eldest lady from Mars.
However, that was a long, long time ago, and since Anna gradually recovered, she began to unconsciously dislike this Miss Feng in her heart, disgusted that she approached her passionately, and there was always an urge to stay away from her.
She is not qualified to accompany her brother!
So Anna, who was squatting on the ground, thought about it, withdrew the hand that wanted to pinch Lu An's nose, stood up angrily, and went out to school full of fighting spirit.
Lu An, who was left alone in the living room and fainted, was not awakened by the pinprick-like pain until noon.
Anna's door was open, empty, and no one was home.
Lu An stared at the ceiling, his lips twitching, silently reciting the names of those people.
"Die, all have to die!"
After squeezing these words out of his teeth, Lu An sat up stiffly.
Pulling out the box from the mouth of the heart, the box the size of a fingernail opened, and a thin gray sheet was contained in the milky white liquid inside, squirming slightly.
Gently closing the lid, Lu An grabbed the alloy box tightly with his left hand, and said, "Ayu, wait for me, when your wish is fulfilled, I will let those people bury you one by one." β
Then there was a low burst of laughter in the empty drawing-room, like the cries of the nasty night owls on a summer night.
