On the riverside of Z City, in a palatial villa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's already one o'clock in the middle of the night, and most people in City Z have already fallen asleep, and the lights are still bright. All the lights in the whole house were turned on, and everything inside and outside the house was like daylight, and a group of people came in and out of it, shouting loudly from time to time, and the scene seemed a little chaotic.

At this time, the spacious living room of the villa was already full of people, all of them, but without exception, they were all dressed well. Most of the men are dressed in suits and ties, and their hair is shiny; The women wore heavy makeup and wore expensive coats, and talked and laughed in low voices with the people around them from time to time. It looked like a group of people were here for a big dinner or ball, but something in the center of the living room ruined the atmosphere. It was a coffin.

It's a novelty to see this kind of thing again in an era when cremation is now basically practiced. This coffin looks extremely luxurious, the material of the coffin body is like precious nanmu, and it is also decorated with some simple flower ornaments, simple and atmospheric. Originally, this coffin usually gave people the feeling of ominous and unlucky, but now a group of people tightly surrounded it, and some people even put their hands on the coffin, without the slightest shy away.

The scene was very lively, from the small discussion at the beginning to the point of loud noise, as if there was something that disagreed with the group. Many gentlemen had torn their ties so that they were blushing and their necks were thick, and they were like fighting cocks, and the ladies and ladies had torn off their noble and gentle disguises, and were almost about to wave their polished round and smooth nails and grab them at the faces of the people in front of them. This gathering place of the upper class will soon become a battlefield for a pack of beasts.

Just when the scene was about to get out of control, a deep and penetrating voice rang out: "Shut up!" ”

This voice was very majestic, and almost as soon as the words fell, the scene fell silent all at once, and everyone looked at the person who made the voice, their eyes were full of various emotions, but they did not dare to say a word.

At this time, an old man with gray hair looked to be sixty or seventy years old, but his figure was very burly, and his waist was still straight. Dressed in a black suit with a white flower pinned to his chest, he walked slowly in the direction of the coffin, passing by everyone to give way to him, with an unconcealed awe in his eyes.

He walked over to the coffin, his fingers touching the coffin, his rough skin scratching the smooth wood paint, leaving a faint mark. He said in a low voice, "Why, my brother has just closed his eyes, and you little cubs can't wait to share the family property?" ”

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties plucked up the courage and said: "Uncle, we are all sad when my father dies, but after all, life has to go on, we all have our own families, and the family is waiting to open our mouths to eat, isn't it?" ”

The old man was stunned, and the evil in his eyes startled the man, and he retreated again and again, until the person behind him supported him and stood firm. The old man said, "The family property must be divided, but it is not up to you to decide how to divide it." My brother, the master of the Luo family, has made a will before his death, and all the explanations for the future will be handled according to the will! ”

"But if it is divided according to the will, then we can only get a pitiful little thing, which is not fair." A young man who looked to be only in his twenties said unconvinced.

The female companion next to him, a girl who looked like a Japanese geisha with heavy makeup, also spoke: "Yes, besides, this will has always been in the hands of your old man, and it is not your old man's decision to do the specifics?" There was a thick mockery in his words.

Just as the two of them sang and spoke, the crowd around them suddenly dispersed, and the people around them were scrambling to stay away from them, as if they had some infectious disease. The girl hadn't figured out what the situation was, and looked at those people with a puzzled expression, but the boy chuckled in his heart, and he remembered one thing that his parents had been warning him since he was a child: in the Luo family, he would rather offend the head of the family, Luo Tianchang, than his younger brother Luo Tiansheng.

The thought flashed, and the boy hurriedly raised his head, but before he could see the situation in front of him clearly, there was a sharp pain on his face, and then the whole person flew out involuntarily.

Luo Tiansheng stood where the boy was standing just now and put away his fists, watching the boy's parents scrambling to check on their son's situation, without any expression on his face. After that, he walked up to the girl who was already scared and slowly raised his right hand.

"Smack!" A crisp sound sounded, and the girl fell to the ground, raised her head and covered the left side of her face, tears streaming down her face. It was clearly visible between the fingers covering her face that her left cheek was swollen high, and if it was more serious, it was already going to be broken. The girl covered her face tightly, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't dare to say a word again.

"Just listen to what I say, don't question it." Luo Tiansheng didn't have the slightest expression on his face, and then he said to everyone: "Now, everyone go back and come back at noon tomorrow." ”

Although he was reluctant, no one disobeyed him. Everyone dispersed, and in less than five minutes, Luo Tiansheng was the only one left in the villa.

When everyone dispersed, Luo Tiansheng's momentum suddenly relaxed, and his body stiffened slightly, which seemed to be in line with his age at this time. He caressed the panel of the coffin, his face still had no expression, but his eyes were full of loneliness.

"Brother, why did you just leave? How would it be nice for me to throw such a mess away......"

At noon the next day, Luo Tiansheng came to the villa early in the morning. He had a chair moved, and he held a simple and old cane, and sat there waiting for the arrival of those juniors.

But no one came until the afternoon, Luo Tiansheng felt strange, he didn't believe that these greedy guys were willing to miss the moment to divide the family property, and there was no news until now.

Is something wrong?

Luo Tiansheng called his subordinates and asked them to see what was going on with these people.

The subordinates hurried away and hurried back, bringing back a strange news: all the people of the Luo family, except for the current Luo Tiansheng, were all gone. Not only was their home empty, but there was no trace of the place they usually frequented, and it looked as if all the fifty or so people had disappeared from the world.

Luo Tiansheng was faintly uneasy in his heart, this matter looked a little weird, and it was estimated that something really happened.

He walked up and down the living room, but he didn't have the slightest brain. More than 50 members of the Luo family are all missing, and their subordinates have searched the entire Z City but have not found even a single trace. Is it possible to organize all the groups to travel to other places? As soon as this reason came out, Luo Tiansheng himself felt ridiculous.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: This, it can't be hell, right?

Although he himself thought it was ridiculous, but in such a strange situation now, it seemed that any incredible reason was possible.

Unlike some ordinary people, Luo Tiansheng actually had a half-believing awe in the face of this kind of supernatural thing in his heart. The Luo family's methods of starting out are not glorious, Luo Tianchang and Luo Tiansheng brothers have been crawling from the bottom of society since they were in their twenties, and there is no less blood on their hands. It is precisely because he killed a lot when he was young, and the more he believed in karma in his heart when he was old, and now this matter has aroused suspicion in Luo Tiansheng's heart.

Is it retribution?

Then he denied this idea, no, if there is really retribution, it will definitely be aimed at him, and he will not attack the younger generation first, after all, although they usually behave hatefully, they do not have much karma. So, is it the enemy? But it is not a simple matter to kidnap so many people overnight, not to mention the huge workload, it is not that these people do not have any protection measures at home, basically the home is equipped with a security system and bodyguards and the like. But the news from his subordinates was that all these bodyguards were fired last night, and this matter attracted Luo Tiansheng's attention.

It's hard to understand the dismissal of a bodyguard for no reason, but putting it in this incident only casts another layer of fog on top of the already complex situation. The guards who had been fired had already been questioned, and it was said that their employers had fired them as soon as they came home the previous night, without warning, and had all paid an extra year's salary.

Luo Tiansheng couldn't figure out the trick after thinking about it, so he decided to go and find out the clues himself.

He called two of his subordinates together, and then instructed the servants at home to take care of the house, especially Luo Tianchang's coffin, and then went out.

It's the ninth harsh winter, and this year's weather is unusually cold. Although there is no cold wind when walking on the street, the temperature that exhales into ice is really unbearable. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the warm time of the day had passed, Luo Tiansheng and his two men were walking on the road, braving the cold to search for clues.

He didn't go directly to the homes of those people in the car, there were already people there to check, there was no point in him going again, he was checking the situation on the road now. According to the words of those bodyguards, since they immediately fired those people when they returned home, and there was nothing unusual at the time of the villa, the biggest possibility is what happened to them on the way. No matter what happened, Luo Tiansheng had to come and check it out for himself, hoping to find clues along the way.

But the facts disappointed him very much, along the way, there was a lot of traffic and people, and he couldn't find any valuable clues at all. After some futile efforts, he was a little out of breath, stood by the side of the road, leaned against the tree, adjusted his breathing, and decided to rest here.

He is very upset now, his brother is dead, and all the family members are missing, and he is now a bad old man left in the big family that was lively before. Luo Tiansheng closed his eyes slightly and slowly adjusted his mood.

Suddenly, he heard a child's voice, a little boy with a somewhat soft voice.

"Mom, why are there so many people here?"

The boy's mother said, "Isn't there only three of them here, you see, this old man has two uncles, and there are not many people." ”

At this time, the boy argued: "No, mother, you see, the old man and the two uncles are followed by a lot of people, their faces are so white, are they wearing makeup to go to the party?" ”

Luo Tiansheng opened his eyes suddenly, looked behind him, only his two subordinates accompanied him, how could there be anyone else?

At this time, the boy's mother may also be a little scared, and scolded: "You child, how did you learn to lie and scare people? There are only three people here, and there is no one else, can't you see it as a mother? ”

The boy was very aggrieved and stubbornly argued with his mother: "I didn't lie and scare people, mom, you see, there are a lot of people, grandpa, look, are there many people behind you?" And the old man next to me, you tell my mom that I didn't lie! ”

After that, Luo Tiansheng couldn't hear what the boy said to his mother, because when the boy said "Grandpa next to him", he suddenly smelled an extremely strong smell, which smelled like something was rotten, and it stinked.

He looked back at his two men with a pale face, and saw that they were standing there motionless, and they did not respond, as if they were two wax figures.

Fear rose in Luo Tiansheng's heart, he hadn't been so scared for a long time. He stumbled back to the villa himself, and when he entered, he saw all the servants standing in the drawing-room, their heads bowed, just like his two men. And in the middle of the living room, his brother Luo Tianchang's coffin, I don't know when the coffin lid has been lifted.

He shuddered, and his footsteps slowly shifted to that side. When he finally reached the edge, he dared to look inside, and there was nothing inside.

He was puzzled, but he didn't have time to think about it, because he heard heavy footsteps behind him.

The stench struck again, and only then did Luo Tiansheng recall from the corner of his memory that he and his brother had killed the enemy on the road and hung it on the machine steel bars of the abandoned factory to rot, and the smell was exactly the same as this.

"Brother." Luo Tiansheng laughed miserably.
