"Didi...... Didi Di ......"

A rapid ringing of her mobile phone woke Li Li from her sleep, Li Li frowned, glanced at the wall clock in disgust, and the hour hand pointed to nine thirty in the morning.

"Who is so ignorant of lifting and calling early in the morning...... I don't know if my mother doesn't sleep until five in the morning! Li Li cursed irritably, but she refused to get up to answer the phone, and last night's all-night party seemed to have consumed all her energy.

However, the ringing of the phone did not let her go in the slightest, and it still chirped tirelessly. Li Li, who couldn't bear it, got up suddenly, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and threw it on the ground, the mobile phone instantly fell apart, and even the battery board fell out, but the strange thing is that the ringtone just now still continued to ring.

Li Li seemed to wake up a little from her daze, and she carefully recognized the ringtone, which seemed to come from the bedside table.

Li Li's body shook suddenly, and she was completely sleepy in an instant, she hurriedly opened the bedside table, opened the mezzanine, and saw that the familiar number was flashing on the screen of the old-fashioned mobile phone inside, and the ringtone was coming from this mobile phone.

"Hey? Honey, is that you? Li Li hurriedly picked up the phone, with a look of surprise and panic on her face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I just ...... Well...... I just didn't hear it. Li Li kept apologizing, for fear that the other party would be unhappy because of her neglect.

"Why did you call all of a sudden? Are you coming back? Are you going to take me away? Li Li looked excited and kept asking. However, the answer on the other end of the phone seemed to disappoint her again, and Li Li was a little unhappy.

She pursed her lips with a bit of annoyance in her tone, "Hmph! You obviously said that you will come to pick me up after Chen Yan's matter is resolved! Now that Chen Yan is also dead, the police's attention has not shifted to Jin Biao! Why haven't you come back yet......" said and sobbed deliberately, "You lied...... You've been lying to me all along! Woohoo......"

Just as Li Li was immersed in grief, she suddenly heard a quick knock on the door in the hall. "Li Li! Li Li, are you there! We are the police, we have something important to look for you, please open the door! ”

Li Li panicked suddenly, she quickly got out of bed and closed the bedroom door. "Why are the police coming for me again!? They...... Have they discovered something? Li Li, who was in a hurry, whispered to the other end of the phone, and now the other party is all she relies on.

"Bang bang bang!" The knock on the door continued, "Li Li!" Please open the door quickly! You're in danger right now! ”

Officer Huang and the two young investigators at the door were shouting anxiously, and they rushed over as soon as they received the notice from Sister Mu.

"Could it be that she's not in the room?" Officer Huang looked at an investigator beside him.

"Probably not, our people haven't been out since they saw her come back in the early morning." The inquisitor shook his head in disapproval.

"I seem to have heard movement inside just now, Li Li should be in the room." Another investigator next to him said, "Why don't we break in?" “

"I'm afraid that's not right...... We can't break in without a search warrant. Officer Huang was a little worried, "Let's knock again, maybe she's still asleep." “

Li Li quietly walked to the door of the bedroom, listening to the movement outside, and became more and more uneasy, "They seem to be about to break in, I...... What am I going to do! Li Li held the phone and stomped her feet in a hurry, but in the next second, her movements suddenly froze.

"You...... What are you talking about......" Li Li's voice trembled a little.

"I said, then you should die." The man on the other end of the phone dropped a cold word and hung up.

A loud bang burst open from Li Li's room in an instant, and the window glass shattered in response. The three officers who were caught off guard were shocked by the sudden explosion, and when they barely got up, they were greeted by the skyrocketing fire.

After work, Ye Yu wandered aimlessly on the street alone.

It's been a whole week since I came to the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, and it seems that something has happened in the bureau this time, everyone is anxious, and occasionally I see Sister Mu appearing, and she has a frown on her face and a serious expression. However, every time Ye Yu tried to ask Xiao Yan about the situation, the reply he got was often a smile and not a word.

I don't know what happened to my case...... Has the killer been found? Ye Yu thought.

Although he worked in the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, Ye Yu had almost no access to any information about his case, and I don't know if it was because Lou Yue had taken special care of him. During this period, his only job was to sort out a steady stream of data, which gave Ye Yu a real headache.

However, even if it is boring, out of professionalism, Ye Yu still conscientiously sorts out and classifies these materials, because he believes that Lou Yue always has his considerations for giving him to do these things-even if this consideration may just not let Ye Yu have nothing to do.

Alas, when will such days come to an end......

Ye Yu sighed, took out his mobile phone and flipped through the contact list, planning to find someone to complain and relieve the boredom in his heart, but when he thought of his current situation, Ye Yu had no choice but to give up this idea.

At 9 p.m., the city center is still crowded and lively, and for the cosmopolitan city, this time seems to be the beginning of the nightlife. Ye Yu walked on the street, watching people walk past him in groups of three or five, or in pairs, talking and laughing; The high-rise buildings lining the streets are decorated with neon lights and shimmering in misty colors, and the brisk saxophone style of street performers and the laughter of people are intertwined into a harmonious music, everything is so prosperous. However, what Ye Yu felt in this hustle and bustle was deep loneliness.

As a native of the city, Ye Yu has a home that is difficult to return. Since falling into this series of events, Ye Yu's world has been completely subverted, and he can only choose to be temporarily alienated from his relatives and friends, no one can confide in, and he can't find someone to talk to, even if there is more depression, he can only digest it alone, and he can't return to his original life.

Seemingly subconsciously avoiding the noisy crowd, Ye Yu unconsciously walked into a quiet old-fashioned bungalow alley area. There are still some of these old buildings from the last century in the center of Xiayang, but many of these buildings have been converted into music bars, and unlike the previous downtown area, there are few lights and there are almost no pedestrians.

Ye Yu was strolling in the quiet alley, thinking about his thoughts, when a woman's singing suddenly sounded faintly in his ears.

“…… Are you alone in this prosperity, enjoying the loneliness in your heart, and no one to talk to......"

The singing voice seemed to come from a bar, soft, melodious but mixed with sadness, which seemed to induce Ye Yu to go to a story. It's just that Ye Yu didn't plan to go clubbing at this time, since he was drugged by Sister Mu in the "Memories" bar last time, he has somewhat had a psychological shadow on that kind of place, not to mention that there is a mysterious murderer hiding behind the scenes and eyeing him, and he doesn't dare to go when he is alone.

However, perhaps this song resonated too much with the mood at this time, and Ye Yu, who was tugged at the heartstrings, still involuntarily took a step forward and looked for the source of the song.

“…… In the midst of the storm, I stretched out my hands and tried to control the rudder of destiny......"

The ethereal singing was intermittent, Ye Yu carefully distinguished, passing through the staggered alleys, as if enchanted in this alley area deeper and deeper.

“…… There are too many things to choose, and in this world where people come and go, I can only go down to the unknown future alone......"

The singing came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Yu stopped and listened quietly, but there was silence in his ears, and at this time, he suddenly realized that he had walked in front of a strange bungalow.

It is a semi-abandoned cluster of bungalows, lined with rows of similar buildings on the left and right sides, but it seems to be in a state of abandonment. The exterior wall of the bungalow facing Ye Yu is still half painted, and there is no light in the room, and there is no sign of occupancy at all.

"What's wrong with me......" Ye Yu, who came back to his senses, shook his head, turned around and was about to walk back, but suddenly found that several alleys appeared in front of him, and he didn't remember which alley he came from at all.

Ye Yu took out his mobile phone, the zero-grid signal, it seemed that he couldn't check the map and navigate, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Forget it, just choose one of them, you can always get out. Ye Yu thought about it, and walked into a small alley directly opposite.

The alley is not wide, winding into the distance, the dim street lamps flickering, as if it had fallen into disrepair, and the change of light and shadow dyed the alley with some strange and eerie colors. There was no trace of people in the alley, it was strangely quiet, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, only Ye Yu's own faster and faster heartbeat, this atmosphere made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

After turning a few corners, there seemed to be some light in front of the alley, Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he could finally get out, so he hurried over. However, as soon as he got out of the alley, Ye Yu found that the scene in front of him was extremely familiar, and in front of him was the half-painted bungalow, and he actually went back again!

Wait a minute, did you just go wrong!?

Ye Yu, who was puzzled, chose another alley on the right and walked in. The same winding paths, the same dim streetlights, and the same ends.

Ye Yu realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly walked through the other alleys, but no matter which one he walked, when he came out of the alley, he would always find that he had returned to the starting point, and the time and space in this alley seemed to be distorted, locking Ye Yu firmly in it, and he couldn't step out of a single step.

This is...... What's going on!? Ye Yu's back began to feel cold.

The dark clouds of the night slowly covered the moonlight, and the surroundings gradually darkened, and the flickering street lamps reflected the shadows of the surrounding trees like ghosts with teeth and claws, Ye Yu felt as if a pair of eyes were secretly peeking at him in the dark, and his forehead couldn't help but ripple with cold sweat.

Could it be ...... I met the legendary "ghost hitting the wall"?!
