(The college entrance examination is over, students can relax and read like crazy.) ）

Zong Yan, who was now standing at the door, was taking off her bloodstained body and standing in front of the black-robed old man's house in a daze.

Under the gray moonlight in the sky, Zong Yan's body seemed to have become a lot "taller".

And this feeling of tallness was all caused by the dazzling blood stains on her body.

And seeing her like this at this moment, the eyes of the black-robed old man were suddenly filled with a sense of satisfaction.

After that, the black-robed old man no longer hesitated, but reached out and dragged Zong Yan into the room.

After entering the room, Zong Yan did not look for the location of the sofa as before, but silently followed behind the black-robed old man alone.

Now she is like a child who has made a mistake, and her face is full of guilt.

However, children who make mistakes only need to be beaten and scolded to write off their mistakes, and now Zong Yan's mistakes have to be repaid with his own life, and the difference between the two is really unacceptable for a while.

After leading her to a more remote room, the black-robed old man politely handed a glass of juice to Zong Yan.

Looking at the freshly squeezed orange juice in the cup, Zong Yan's eyes suddenly became a lot duller.

Moreover, now she seems to be able to faintly see the painful face from the Taoist priest from the luster of the juice.

Thinking of this, Zong Yan's figure shook involuntarily, and then he propped up the sofa with both hands and moved some distance away from the juice.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to actually do it, yes, I like your guts." Stimulated by the reaction shown by Zong Yan in front of him, the black-robed old man slowly walked to the side of the bed at this moment and slightly lifted the translucent curtains.

Through this window, he could clearly see everything that was happening in front of Zong Yan's house not far away.

Now, Zong Yan's parents are standing in front of the door to be questioned by the police.

At the door of the man's house, a large group of neighbors gathered to "watch the excitement".

As for the faces of each of them, they were all filled with heavy heaviness and worry at the moment.

Slowly returning to his seat, the black-robed old man looked at Zong Yan in front of him with a sly smile on his face, and immediately asked in a low voice, "Do you want to know what your parents and those neighbors are talking about now?" ”

At this moment, after hearing the words from the black-robed old man, Zong Yan's heart was filled with heaviness again, as for the black-robed old man's inquiry, Zong Yan did not give an answer for a long time.

The black-robed old man on the side, seeing Zong Yan's appearance, sneered helplessly, and immediately raised his hand to grab the remote control on the table and turned on the TV screen on the side.

I only found that the moment the screen appeared, an environment that Zong Yan was extremely familiar with immediately appeared on the screen.

Standing in that environment were Zong Yan's parents and neighbors who she would see every day.

However, there are still a lot of uniformed and serious-looking police officers in this environment.

And, at this moment, they are bowing their heads to record the case situation from the neighbor's mouth.

"Could you please give us a brief account of what happened tonight?" Now, a policeman is standing in front of a middle-aged man with a serious face, asking in a low voice what happened tonight.

This man, Zong Yan is very familiar with, he is the fierce uncle who lives next to the Taoist priest.

I have been scolded by him many times because of some inconspicuous small actions.

If he saw that he had gone to the Taoist priest tonight, then he would definitely tell all about his affairs without reservation.

"I was very tired from work today, and I went straight to bed when I got home, so I don't know exactly what happened to my neighbor's house." As he spoke, an apologetic wry smile suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he said in a low voice: "If you hadn't come to knock on the door, I'm afraid I would have slept until the next morning." ”

"Do you know that the deceased has provoked anyone recently?" After hearing the middle-aged man's answer, a sense of frustration appeared on the policeman's face abruptly, and he immediately thought about it for a long time before asking again.

"I don't know much about this, I don't know him well, and I often go out early and return late, so I don't talk to him much on weekdays, so I don't know what enemies he has." After the middle-aged man's words sounded, the policeman standing in front of him had a much more bitter expression.

After casually explaining a few words to the middle-aged man, the police let the middle-aged man return to his home.

The on-site investigators on the other side had also discovered at this moment that there was a line of strange bloody footprints extending from the deceased's body to the door of the house, and disappeared at the door of Zong Yan's house.

Moreover, according to the investigation, the length of this bloody footprint is relatively short, and it should not be left by an adult, but it is more like a child's footprint. In Zong Yan's house, there happened to be a little girl who was seven or eight years old.

Therefore, today's police officers are uniformly skeptical of Zong Yan's parents.

Seeing this, the remote control in the hands of the black-robed old man was pressed again.

Immediately after, the TV set that was constantly playing real-time images returned to a dark state again.

"How is it, do you feel that in your heart, there is a sense of timidity?" Now the black-robed old man's gaze at Zong Yan was not only full of appreciation, but also full of strangeness.

At this time, Zong Yan could feel an inexplicable threat constantly attacking him from that strangeness.

Now that he has been exposed, the murder has been exposed, and the only one who knows that he has killed is this old man in black robes.

Although the other party has helped him temporarily, once he wants him to do something for him, he can directly use his murder to blackmail himself.

In this way, wouldn't he become a pawn in the hands of the black-robed old man?

Thinking of this, Zong Yan's expression also suddenly became weird, and he immediately replied in a low voice: "I'm not timid, it's just that I want to ask you now, when will you be able to fulfill your promise to me." ”

The reason why Zong Yan said this sentence was because the moment she recalled the killing process, the strange red beads reappeared in her mind and constantly stimulated her nerves.

So much so that now, under the influence of the red beads, she has completely gotten rid of the fear that comes from the murder, and is replaced by a crazy greed.

"Oh? Didn't I already fulfill my promise? After hearing Zong Yan's inquiry, the expression of the black-robed old man suddenly became a lot colder, and he immediately responded in a low voice.

"You have cashed it there, and the bead has not yet reached my hands." Hearing the response of the black-robed old man, Zong Yan's heart suddenly flooded with a strange anger, but with the anger surging into his heart, it was an angry killing intent.

Now Zong Yan has been carried away by the red beads, and at this time, she has become a murderer who is about to be fully wanted.

Therefore, she wouldn't mind killing one more.

"Isn't that bead in your pocket right now?" At this time, the black-robed old man also seemed to feel a strange aura on Zong Yan's body, and immediately pointed to Zong Yan's pocket and explained in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zong Yan reached out and took out the cold beads in his pocket.

I only found that the beads in my hands at this moment were not the ugly, rough dark green beads that I had snatched from my Taoist uncle's house before? How could it be the crystal clear, star-like red beads that I saw before!

"This, this is not the bead you showed me before, what you showed me before was a bead that emitted red light." Stimulated by the bead in his hand, Zong Yan stood up angrily at this moment, and with a wave of his arm, he threw the bead directly at the black-robed old man in front of him.

At this time, after the black-robed old man saw the bead flying towards him, he took it from the void with his hand and held it tightly in his palm.

"From the very beginning, I took out this bead and never replaced it." At this moment, the black-robed old man slowly stood up from the sofa, then looked at Zong Yan with a smug face, and said in a low voice: "As for the red bead you said in your mouth, I think it should exist in your heart, if you don't believe it, you can use the knife in front of you to cut your heart open and take a look." ”

After listening to the words of the black-robed old man, Zong Yan's eyes immediately became dull.

And at this moment, in Zong Yan's mind, he was constantly recalling the scenes he had seen before.

And as the memories continued to increase, the expression on Zong Yan's face also changed accordingly into another ugly face.

Now, the expression on her face is completely in contrast to her innocent age at the moment.

"Hmph, don't try to instigate me, if that bead is in my heart, then let it stay there. As for the knife in front of him, it is still impossible to say whose heart it will be inserted. The corners of Zong Yan's mouth provoked a strange sneer, and then he sneered coldly.

At the moment when the words stopped, the dagger placed in front of Zong Yan abruptly left the scabbard, and under the action of Zong Yan's palm, it stabbed fiercely into the heart of the black-robed old man standing aside.

I only saw that at this moment, under the action of Zong Yan's arm, the dagger pierced into the heart of the black-robed old man as fast as lightning, and then a stream of strange blood slowly flowed out along the blade of the dagger, and after gathering into drops, it fell to the ground.

However, what made Zong Yan strange was that the black-robed old man who was supposed to fall to the ground like a Taoist priest was now suddenly turned into a phantom and slowly disappeared in front of Zong Yan.

"Little girl, I want to thank you for your help, without you I would not have been able to get rid of my side so easily. As for the red bead, let it remain in your heart for the time being, and I will come and take it later. After the black-robed old man's figure disappeared, a strange muffled voice immediately struck from the void and echoed in the room for a long time.

At this moment, Zong Yan, after hearing the words of the black-robed old man, was dizzy for a moment, and then fell heavily to the ground, unconscious. (To be continued.) )
