Chapter VIII E-mail

There was a slight 'buzzing' sound, which was the sound of the computer starting. The sound is soft and usually negligible, but it is noticeable in the middle of the night.

Xiao Xia cowered on the bed and didn't dare to move, staring in the direction of the computer in horror.

Her room was small, and the light came from the window at the foot of the bed by her computer desk. But why does the computer turn on for no reason? Or - something in the room opened it!

The boot music played, and her colorful mouse flashed with various colors, which proved that the computer had been fully turned on. Then she felt an unreal black mist hovering in front of her computer, though she wasn't sure if there was something wrong with her eyes.

'Da Da Da' -

There was a brisk sound, as if someone was typing, but the monitor was still in its original desktop state.

Natsu's computer desktop is a portrait of her idol Brad Peel slightly sideways, Natsu loves his squinting eyes and smiling rather than smiling, but at the moment, it seems that his expression is meaningful, and those eyes are staring at her strangely, while sucking Natsu's gaze tightly.

Suddenly, his appearance changed, from a smile to an angry look, and his face and background gradually blurred, but gradually three-dimensional, making the flat monitor screen look like an empty black box with a man's head in the box!

"Natsu-chan!" The head screamed, and Xiao Xia almost jumped in shock.

"Avenge me! Avenge me! He commanded loudly.

"Guan Zheng, is that you?" Xiao Xia was bold and asked tremblingly.

I couldn't hear anything from the voice, and I couldn't see the head clearly, but Xiao Xia could feel that something was wrong with Guan Zheng.

There was silence, no one answered her, and even the computer was eerily quiet. She waited for a while, but there was still no movement, although the screen was still like a box for putting people's heads, but it didn't make a sound!

Natsu swallowed and tried to get out of bed, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, the monitor suddenly shook violently and began to flicker wildly!

"Avenge me!" The head of the computer shouted again, but this time the sound was even more poignant, the monitor shook even more, and even the table trembled!

It kept repeating the words, and gradually even its voice became metallic, as if it was really coming from a machine, "Avenge me-avenge-avenge-avenge-"

With a scorching smell, the computer finally shuddered for a while, like a convulsion before death, and then everything came to an abrupt halt!

Xiao Xia sat on the edge of the bed with bated breath, staring at the unfathomable darkness with wide eyes, but the visual vacuum after the flickering light made her unable to see anything. Her bare feet were still on the cold ground, but her palms and feet were covered with cold sweat. She sat in horror, enduring the great oppression of the night and the real scorching, afraid of what would happen to her if she moved.

The clock ticked, and after a few minutes, she finally got used to the light and saw the scene in the room clearly, so she slowly stood up, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, she suddenly ran out at a very fast speed, regardless of whether she was still barefoot and wearing pajamas, and hurriedly opened the door, like a demon chasing, desperate to escape!

The light in the corridor has been broken for a long time, and it is so dark that you can't see anything. Xiao Xia rushed out only by virtue of her familiarity with the environment, but she didn't expect to bump into something.

The accident came suddenly, and she was knocked back a few steps and almost sat down, but she was caught by an arm. She subconsciously struggled, but the other party's strength was much greater than hers, and she wanted to shout, but her mouth was covered, and she just twisted her body in vain.

"Shhhhh A man's voice sounded in my ears. The voice was eager and gentle, and it had the power to calm her, and she didn't need to look to know that it was from someone she thought about day and night.

"If you don't want the whole building to see you hugging a man and staying in the dark hallway in your pajamas, don't scream!" Ruan Zhan let go of his hand.

But Xiao Xia hugged him and choked up.

"Let's go back to the house first!" He caress her back unintentionally to comfort, the smooth silk and the soft nape of the neck that make his hand linger again and again.

"I'm afraid!"

"There's me!" Ruan Zhan gently pulled Xiao Xia away, trying to keep a distance between the two, "Hold my hand, don't be afraid!" ”

He took her cold, sweaty little hand and slowly returned to the room.

He couldn't hug her anymore. For a man, holding a woman in silk pajamas in a dark corridor in the middle of the night and with a figure so good that she has nothing to say is a very ambiguous behavior. If that woman is the one you have kept in your heart for a long time, longing for, but you haven't seen each other for three months, that temptation is even more deadly. Even at this moment, he held her hand and walked, which made him distracted and unable to concentrate.

But he had to resist, so it was very, very difficult for him to stay calm. For the first time, he hated his ability to see at night, and it made him imprint her unintentional seduction in his heart.

He blocked Natsu behind him, approached the room, and then reached out to close the door and walked towards Natsu's bedroom. He felt the aura of the room vigilantly, and found that although there was a yin aura, it dissipated.

"It's all right." He reluctantly let go of Xiao Xia's hand.

Xiao Xia ran over and turned on the lamp, only to find that she was wearing relatively revealing pajamas, and subconsciously covered her chest.

"I'll go to the living room and wait, you change your clothes." Ruan Zhan lowered his eyes and suppressed the beating of his heart.

"Don't go!" Xiao Xia rushed out, but then realized how ambiguous his words were, and quickly explained, "That-appeared here, I'm afraid of him-"

Ruan Zhan quickly turned around, but he couldn't stand looking at her face to face like this, "Is this good?" ”

Xiao Xia gave an embarrassed 'um', randomly found a piece of clothing to put on, and then explained the cause and effect of the incident. Ruan Zhan forced himself to shift his attention from her to the incident, but found that it was very unsuccessful, and Xiao Xia spoke three times in a row before he figured it out.

"How did you get here?" Xiao Xia asked as if she remembered something.

"You forgot I'll count." Ruan Zhan prevaricated casually.

In fact, where would he count, he was just because his heart was filled with her shadow, so he had a strong telepathy with her. He had felt uneasy as soon as it was dark, as if she were in danger, but the feeling was fleeting, and he retracted the steps he had taken.

He missed her very much, but when he thought that he couldn't take the initiative to provoke her, he endured it. He had endured this for three months, and although it was easy for her not to come to him, there was always an irrational expectation in his heart.

This expectation was especially strong tonight, so when the second uneasiness hit, he didn't hesitate to leave everything behind and run out, driving all the way, fortunately he was able to stop Xiao Xia who was about to escape. But looking at her situation, he is also blaming himself, why did he put her in danger for the sake of his chaotic heart!

"What's going on?"

"If I'm not mistaken, your colleague is dead." Ruan Zhan pulled back his thoughts, "And there is a possibility that he will die next to the computer, so it will appear in this form." ”

"But the computer burned out." Xiao Xia said. It's not that she feels sorry for the computer, it's that she doesn't know what the reason is.

"If you use the so-called scientific method to say that the soul is a kind of energy, and it spreads through the computer, the energy is different, and it is naturally incompatible, so it burns out your computer. If you use superstitious parlance, he dies in front of the computer, and he has this obsession, that is, he wants the computer to tell you something. But he doesn't have to wait for him to tell you what stopped him, and the soul can't stay far away from the bones for a long time, he came and went suddenly, so your computer is still inexplicably broken. But that's okay, I can give you one. ”

"yes, I heard the sound of typing."

"Then come back with me." Ruan Zhan stood up, "Your computer is obviously useless, use my computer to see what clues are in your mailbox." ”

"Guan Zheng—" Xiao Xia looked at the computer sadly, as if Guan Zheng was sitting there. Although she didn't have a special liking for him, and even hated him because of the cat killing, she still couldn't bear to see him die.

"Aren't we going to call the police?"

"It's better to pretend that you don't know, otherwise if there is no suspicion, the first thing you find out is suspicion." Seeing Xiao Xia's depressed appearance, Ruan Zhan couldn't help but stroke her face, and the delicate feeling from the palm of his hand made his hand stay for a while, "Besides, how do you explain that you know he's dead?" Is it just a nightmare? ”

"That's not a nightmare!"

"I know, I know! So, let's go and see what he left for you! ”

Xiao Xia nodded, and obediently went to the Night Returnee Bar with Ruan Zhan.

When they arrived, the clubbing clan was still having a good time, and Xiao Xia went upstairs with Ruan Zhan in the ambiguous and jealous eyes of everyone. But this time she didn't feel awkward, but a sense of pride.

Because she knew that she was different in his heart after all, because no woman had ever been on the second floor of this bar.

Under the warm gaze of Ruan Zhan, she immediately implemented the idea of 'surrounding the city from the countryside' under pressure, and felt that it was too unrighteous for her to arrange her love on the night of Guan Zheng's death, so she decided to do the right thing first.

She opened her mailbox, and sure enough, she saw a new email, which was also sent to her by Guan Zheng.

"Xiao Xia, I'm sorry to scare you. I have my reasons, but I don't want to pull you in. It's complicated, I can't understand it. You don't care. It's so weird! Don't tell anyone either, or you'll be out of luck! Those people deserve to die! I'm glad they're dead. They are scum, animals inferior to things! But believe me, I want their deaths to pass the law. Although I knew that it was impossible to impose such a heavy sentence! You don't understand, when you're dealing with this kind of person all day-"

Xiao Xia was confused, and felt that Guan Zheng, who was usually organized and serious, wrote a letter but spoke incoherently. But what really made her stop and look at Ruan Zhan was the last content of the email.

There is a three-line long ellipsis on the page, then it is written intermittently: I'm going to die, Konatsu, take care, take revenge, don't get close to the facts, and then finally a couple of gibberish and a place name.

The message of all this to Xiao Xia is that Guan Zheng is in extreme danger or pain at the time, he has not had time to finish writing his words, and his thoughts are confused and hesitant, but these are his last words.

"Where is this?" She pointed to the name of the place.

"Yunnan." Nguyen Zhan said, "Close to the border between China and Myanmar. ”
