Chapter 1: Dead in the Lake
Asako is missing.
The Seventh Master said that the possibility of Mazi surviving was very small, not to mention anything else, just the mountain spider that pulled him down could easily kill the seriously injured Mazi.
At my insistence, we waited on the coast for a day, and there was no news of pockmarks, so we rushed back to Jinan overnight and disbanded on the spot, and the pair of shin armor was naturally placed here for me.
After I came back, I slept in my room for three days, and I always ordered takeout for food.
I've never experienced watching a living friend, from being to nothing.
The puppy has been sleeping next to me, seeing its black and white fur, I can always think of the scene that day when the sun shone on the face of Mazi in the cave on the top of the cliff, maybe, that was the last time I saw Mazi's face, that face that I originally thought was so disgusting, now appears in front of my eyes from time to time.
The second uncle came twice in the past three days, once to ask me what was going on, and the second time to send me two books and a pot of wine.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, I was woken up by the sound of my phone vibrating. I picked up something in a haze, and the puppy man was woken up by his cell phone and reluctantly barked twice beside me.
"Hey, why do you have a dog barking there?" Chu Ying's voice came from the phone.
"Oh, I bought it while I was out on business." I said with a hard fight, after all, I was tired after three days of sleep.
"What dog?" Chu Ying sounded very interested.
"Border herd, black and white." I laughed.
"Oops, I like it the most, it's very stylish!" Chu Ying said coquettishly, "Brother Rarity, can you give it to me?" β
I smiled and shook my head: "I bought it for Su Xiao, I ...... it."
Before I could finish speaking, I slapped myself in the mouth - I really didn't wake up! How can such a thing be said so directly! Even if you agree to come down, you can't buy one now! Although Chu Ying is not my girlfriend, after all, she is a best friend who grew up with a bare ass since childhood!
Sure enough, Chu Ying's side immediately stopped speaking when she heard this, and was silent for a while and said in a normal tone, "When did you come back?" I've called you a few times before, but no one answered. β
"Oh, ha!" I snorted: "There may be no signal in the field for those days, I've been back for a few days, what about you?" How is everything? β
"It's not good, I quarreled with my parents and moved out of the house by myself." Chu Ying's nature instantly dropped a lot.
"Why?" I smiled and said, "Uncle Chu loves you very much, and you still make him angry." β
"First, they don't agree with me being a criminal policeman, saying that it is a girl's family, carrying a pistol all day long, and they don't dare to let me enter the house." Chu Ying complained.
I laughed: "Don't look at our family Yingying is handsome, she is a female man in her bones, when she was a child, she turned the house upside down all day long, hiding behind the door with a badminton racket and plotting against Uncle Chu, they all made him cry, and now that you have a gun, of course they are even more scared!" β
"Humph! You help them talk too! Chu Ying said: "Also, they introduce me to people all day long, and I have to go on a blind date, I'm annoyed!" At first, I said no, but then I was led directly to the house, and as soon as I got home from work, I saw a strange man sitting on my sofa! If it weren't for my mom and dad there, I'd kicked them over! β
I picked up the strong man and grinned and laughed: "Okay, you are not too young, it's time to fall in love!" Don't be angry with your uncles and aunts, it's all for your good! Listen to me, go home early tonight and cook a hearty dinner for your uncle and aunt, I know that you can cook when you were in junior high school, and you are so good at cooking! β
"Humph! Aside from my parents, I've only cooked for you! I ......" Chu Ying said here and stopped, and we fell into a burst of embarrassment again.
"That, ahem!" I hurriedly changed the subject: "Yingying, what are you looking for me?" β
"It's nothing, hmm......" Chu Ying paused and said: "Not long after you left Huimin, the news of the loss of the Shixun came out from the No. 3 Middle School, but it was said that it was not a good object, and it was evil, so no one pursued it." Nothing happened in the third middle school anymore. This was the case, but the day before yesterday ......"
"What happened the day before yesterday?" I'm interested.
"The night before yesterday, there was another homicide in Huimin, which was in Zhonghu Park. Do you remember? β
"Of course I do!" I smiled: "When I went back some time ago, didn't I take the Seventh Master to go shopping, and at that time he also sighed at Xiazhong Lake, saying that a pool of stagnant water can exist for nearly two thousand years and has never dried up, which is very powerful!" What happened to Zhonghu? β
"There are a lot of people walking in Zhonghu Park every night." Chu Ying said: "At ten o'clock the night before yesterday, there was an old man who was going home around the lake, but when he was halfway through, he suddenly saw a figure in the middle of the lake, thinking that someone was drowning, so he stopped to look inside, but he didn't expect to see a miserable white face by the moonlight, and he was so scared that he had a heart attack, but fortunately, the old man's child was by his side, and he hurriedly called the police. β
"A miserable white face?" I remembered the face of the blood baby, and I couldn't help but shudder: "Dead face? β
"yes, well, not really." Chu Ying said: "I'll send you a photo over, you can take a look." β
I answered, turned on the speakerphone, and after a while, an MMS message came, I opened it and looked, and it was another spirit: the deceased in the photo looked no different at first glance, but felt pale, but when I looked at it a second time, I would see that something was wrong, that face was not a human face at all, or rather, it was a mask on the face!
It's just that this mask is too real, and it is no different from a real person's face when you look at it, it is extraordinarily white, the kind of white that makes people feel shocked. The main thing is, I've never seen a mask on those eyes, which are so similar to human eyes, even if I know it's a mask, I still think it's a pair of real eyes.
The only difference is that you can't see any color in these eyes.
This pair of eyes always felt a little familiar, I frowned, and suddenly remembered that night in the Huimin County Central Hospital, Han Yushan's eyes were like this, exactly the same! This is, dead man's eye!
"Who is the deceased?" I asked.
"It's a postman, but it's an orphan." Chu Ying said: "Look at it, there is a second photo." β
I was stunned for a moment, and swiped the MMS with my finger, and sure enough, there was another picture of the deceased below, and I looked at those eyes at a glance as if I was enchantedβthose dead eyes without gray colors!
