In the middle of summer, lightning flashed and thundered, and torrential rain poured.

The rain crackled against the windows, bringing with it a cool scent.

"I always feel like something is staring at me at night......"

Sang Yu stood in front of the window and muttered, pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose, wearing a milk tea blazer, white underwear, suit pants of the same color, and shoulder-length hair tied into a low ponytail at will, simple and capable.

Close the windows, close the curtains, Sangyu turned around, the small living room, although the decoration and furniture are old, but clean and tidy, making people have a sense of home.

In the open space in front of the TV, only seven or eight years old Mulberry was wearing a vest and shorts, half a head taller than children of the same age, and his expressionless Zama step had been half an hour.

Sang Yu walked over and tried the chassis of the Mulberry Bird, and found that her chassis was very stable, nodded with satisfaction, and took a few books on the table, and placed them on the top of the Mulberry Bird and on both shoulders.

Sang Que frowned, and Sang Yu smiled.

"Raise your arms and clamp them, and tighten your core a little more, these are the basic skills of martial arts, and you must practice them solidly."

"Oh~" Sang Que took a breath, tightened his arms, and clamped the two books that Sang Yu handed over.

"I often have to stay in school, and I have to help the tutors, and I can't come back to see you often, so this family depends on you."

"If someone bullies your mother, on the premise of protecting yourself, hit back hard, don't be afraid of causing trouble, as long as you don't suffer, your aunt will give you a cover for everything, you know?"

"Got it, auntie."

pinched Sang Que's face, Sang Yu walked through the living room, leaned on the door frame of the master bedroom, and saw her sister Sang Wan sitting in a wheelchair, her eyes staring at the screen, and her hands crackling on the keyboard.

"Have you decided to go back to your hometown?" Sang Yu asked, "I have already received an offer from that research institute, I will join the company on the first of next month, and after a while, we will be able to buy our own house in this imperial capital." ”

The sound of tapping on the keyboard slowed down a little, and the gentle and quiet Sang Wantou didn't reply, "That's not good, Xiaoque's household registration is in his hometown, or it's more economical to go back to school, before your work was not settled, I took Xiaoque to stay, and now that you have a job, then I will take care of Xiaoque wholeheartedly." ”

Sang Yu's eyes were reluctant, but her younger sister looked weak, but she had ideas and was more stubborn than her.

I think that when the two of them escaped from the mountains, they were helpless, and their sister was in a car accident and lost a leg, and they could still smile and tell her that they could earn a compensation money for her to finish high school.

After becoming an adult at the age of eighteen, at the request of his sister, he changed his original rustic name, abandoning his alcoholic father's surname and following his mother's surname, as a symbol of completely getting rid of the past.

Mulberry is not late, which means that it is not too late to do whatever you want to do at any time.

Her name is Sang Yu, her sister's name is Sang Wan, and as for the little guy who picked it up......

Sang Yu still remembers that it was because the sparrows kept barking that they found the little ones who didn't cry or make trouble in the alleys deep in the garbage dump, and they giggled when they saw them.

So the little one is called Mulberry.

To settle the mulberry household, they spent money, entrusted people, and spent a lot of effort to get the adoption certificate and settled in their hometown.

Fortunately, Sang Wan was more competitive than her, and in the three years she was in high school, Sang Wan couldn't go out alone, so she used a second-hand computer in the rental house to read all kinds of things, and she kept trying to write on the Internet.

Sang Wan is talented, willing to endure hardships, and studious, and has achieved good results in two years in the industry.

is also because of the development of online literature, Sang Wan is lucky that there is a book with a title that is difficult to look at directly sold the copyright.

That income allowed them to live well in this imperial capital, and the family hired part-time workers to clean and cook, and help take care of the little birds.

It also allowed her to concentrate on her studies, plus in the past two years, she has followed her supervisor to do projects, write papers, achieve certain achievements, have a letter of recommendation from her supervisor, and get an offer from a research institute that needs to sign a confidentiality agreement, with a high salary and benefits.

In the future, it is not impossible for them to take root in this imperial capital.

But my sister likes a slow-paced life, saying that the imperial capital is too rolly and very unfriendly to mulberry birds.

Sang Wan has always wanted a house of her own, a small yard, planting flowers and vegetables, and raising a cat, and continue to write about her.

The current landlord doesn't allow cats, so Sang Wan can only wait for Mulberry to get out of school and push her out to feed the wild cats.

Sang Yu pushed his glasses, thinking of the mysterious research institute, the place of work was most likely not in the imperial capital.

According to the information revealed by the mentor, the institute is studying some things that are difficult to explain in science, and the headquarters should be in the mountains, and it is a half-year break.

It's okay for my sister to take Mulberry back to her hometown, Grandpa Ma, who happened to teach her kung fu since she was a child, has an apprentice who opened a martial arts gym there, so that Mulberry can continue to learn after she goes back, and she can also ask Grandpa Ma's apprentice to take care of them.

Sang Yu always remembered that the night before escaping from the mountain, if she hadn't followed Grandpa Ma to practice martial arts since she was a child, she and her sister would have been bullied by the hooligans in the village.

So she must let Sangque practice martial arts, not only to protect her sister, but also to protect herself in the future.

Don't look at the young age of the mulberry, now it is praised by everyone.

Sang Yu went to the door to get his bag, took out his bank card, and put it down at Sang Wan's table.

"There are still 230,000 yuan in this, which I have saved in the past few years, you buy the house first, and then move back."

Sang Wan looked at the bank card, did not refuse, and teased, "Sister, you are so poor!" I have bought the house, and the final payment for the decoration has not been paid, just right. ”

Sang Yu's cheeks were slightly red, "When you wait for me to join the company, my income will immediately surpass you, and my sister will support you at that time." ”

"Okay, let's wait, by the way, after returning to my hometown, I plan to find a piano teacher for Xiaoque, and then sign up for a painting class.

"No, I'm going to learn martial arts!"

Sang Que protested outside, and Sang Yu and Sang Wan looked at each other and smiled.

"This girl was taken by your aunt, except for martial arts, she can't do anything, and she is worried to death! Let's work hard, and when the time comes, buy a few more houses and shops for this girl, and she will be able to support herself in the future. ”

Sang Yu's eyes fell on Sang Wan's legs, her smile froze, and a sense of guilt surged in her heart again.

"Sang Wan, wait for me, I will definitely let you stand up again and walk like a normal person."

"Isn't this always waiting? The prosthesis is really uncomfortable to wear. ”

Sang Wan's attention turned back to the computer, "By the way, sister, I was preparing a new book for inspiration everywhere during this time, and I found that many forums were discussing supernatural events, you say, are there really ghosts in this world?" ”

Sang Yu's eyes flashed, "Do you believe these things that have no scientific basis?" It's all feudal superstition, written out to attract attention, just look at the excitement. ”

Sang Yu's phone shook, and she took it out to see that it was an email from her mentor.

"Come to work, I'll go back to school first, don't worry about moving, when I have time to borrow a car, I will send you back."

"Got it, be careful on the way back, Xiaoque, send your aunt."

"Alas!"

*

Rushing back to his dormitory at school, where his roommate was not there, Sang Yu turned on the computer and re-read the content of the email.

Her mentor said that this is an AI chat software, which has been very popular on the Internet recently, but according to statistics, many of the deceased have downloaded this chat software in the recent surge in suicide cases.

They initially analyzed that there were anomalies in the software code, and asked her to analyze the anomalies and write a report.

"Strange, shouldn't this kind of thing be analyzed by the mentor in the research institute? How will it be sent to me? Although I have a degree in computer science, this is not my major or research direction. ”

Seeing the end of the email, 'This is a test', Sang Yu frowned, "Could it be an additional assessment from that research institute?" ”

Sang Yu's curiosity was stimulated, and she also wanted to know if there were really ghosts in this world, or mysterious powers that were not in human cognition.

After thinking about it, Sang Yu had already almost clicked 'download attachment', and it only took one second to complete the download.

Immediately after, her computer screen went black as if it had been hit by a virus, and only one cursor jumped, typing out a line of words quickly.

[Want to understand the meaning of life?] Want to be truly alive? yes，no】

"Huh?"

Sang Yu laughed, for a moment she thought it was someone's prank, she thought about it for a while, she didn't dare to touch the keyboard directly, but reached out to pull out the plug and cut off the power.

At the moment when her palm touched the power cord, the electricity hit her heart, Sang Yu trembled, and the whole person slammed to the ground, the sky swirled, and the darkness swallowed everything in front of her.

She didn't see it, her phone lit up again, and there was only a text message.

[Don't open the email, don't !! 】

The feeling of paralysis, dizziness, and falling lasted for a long time, and Sang Yu suddenly struggled out of the water like a drowning person, took a big breath and sat up suddenly.

The damp and peeling walls, the decaying carved wooden windows, the tattered tables and chairs, and the coarse cloth clothes she wore all showed that this was not modern, that she was not familiar with it.

Sang Yu's eyes widened, stumbled off the bed, and picked up the bronze mirror on the desk to shine at herself.

"I'll go!!"

Lu Xingyun is outside!
