Chapter 15: The Man Who Didn't Exist and the Maiden
Chen Qing ignored the words on his side, and he didn't estimate the woman lying on the ground, he turned around and asked the husband and wife behind him, "Is it convenient for the two of us to be alone with your daughter?" I have something I would like to ask. ”
The husband and wife glanced at each other, their expressions full of hesitation: "Yes...... OK. They turned around three times in one step, but their eyes were focused on Jiang Wan's body.
If there is a problem at all...... Officer Jiang should be able to control it.
They muttered and walked downstairs with their arms in their arms.
And after the couple left the second floor, Chen Qing's expression also became strange.
His smile was not a smile, staring at the girl on the ground.
"Didn't you say you were going to ask her something?" Jiang Wan looked at his face with some curiosity.
"Ask, why don't you ask." But when he turned around, he still just looked at the girl laughing.
He stared at her strangely and laughed for a long time.
And it was in this situation that lasted for a long time, until Jiang Wan couldn't help but ask out loud, and the girl on the ground quietly withdrew her hand and looked at Chen Qing.
"You...... Aren't you going to ask me questions? You ask. ”
"Oh? Recovered? Restored to your usual personality? Chen Qing squatted down and observed the girl's figure.
Although she was covered in dirt, the torso part of her body was clean, and her hands were full of dirt, but a closer look revealed that most of the color sources were bright red paint.
"What...... What recovery, what are you talking about? She looked at Chen Qing's eyes, a little dodgy.
"What have you done? On your way home from school that day, you 'picked up' something. ”
She avoided answering, turned her head and shouted downstairs, "Hey! Feed! Old and immortal! You want to find someone strong * I am! Believe it or not, I'll call the police! ”
Downstairs, the couple's shoulders trembled slightly with the words.
Upstairs, Chen Qing naturally put his hand into Jiang Wan's pocket.
"Hey!"
But before Jiang Wan could stop it, Chen Qing had already taken out a standard document from it.
He waved it twice, and then threw the document in front of the girl.
"Hey! It's dirty! Jiang Wan gritted her teeth, looked at the paint stuck to the certificate, and felt that her eyebrows hurt.
But Chen Qing ignored it, he looked at the girl on the ground, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the three of them: "Excuse me, close the door." ”
Jiang Wan frowned, but also complied with his request and closed the door.
After the door separated the three people in the room, the girl's expression was not so calm.
"You...... Do you want to die! I'm telling you! As long as you can't kill me today! Tomorrow I promise you on the news! ”
But Chen Qing smiled coldly when he heard this: "Heh, threaten me? I'm underage. ”
Before the girl could be stunned, Chen Qing had already closed his eyes, and instead the vertical pupil in the center of his eyebrows opened.
He watched as the world in front of him changed color, all colors faded in an instant, the world became black and white, and the blood became colorless.
He looked around, and the girl's table began to glow pink.
"You! What are you! ”
She looked at Chen Qing's distorted face, tiny, tentacle-like strips of flesh growing out of her pores, and she took two steps back, unable to care if she was hiding something at the moment.
She followed Chen Qing's line of sight, and the meeting of her gaze finally stopped at the dirty seat.
Chen Qing looked at her, the girl in his field of vision became black and white, he opened his mouth, and asked her in an unusually flat tone, "What did you bring back?" ”
He didn't notice why his tone had become so calm, and he didn't realize that he had almost lost all desire in his heart.
There is only one, only the terrible curiosity that is still hidden in the heart.
The girl took two steps back, her fingers already on her desk.
At the same time, there was a violent knock on the door behind Chen Qing, and the voice was very anxious and dry.
"Bang bang bang!" Several consecutive sounds rang out throughout the building.
"Who?!" Jiang Wan shouted angrily, the sound outside the door was too close, not like the Zhang family and his wife knocked.
The sound sounded as if it were coming from inside the door.
And with that knock, the Zhang couple outside the door also hurried to the second floor.
But as the footsteps approached, Chen Qing's words also came out simultaneously: "Don't come in." I've come across what you call 'one more person', so don't be surprised. No matter what happened next, no matter what they heard, they bothered the two of them to turn a blind eye. ”
His flat voice gave the two outside the door a little confidence, and a person who was not flustered by the supernatural was undoubtedly something they could trust.
They hurried downstairs, but the movement from the second floor could be said to be getting louder and louder.
The girl opened the drawer, and a doll full of silver needles was lying in it.
But as the doll was taken out, the brilliant colors on the table became a little stronger.
"Oh? Problematic ......"
Before he finished speaking, the muzzle of the gun in Jiang Wan's hand was already aimed at the puppet in the other party's hand.
He squinted, and muttering and slurred mutters began to appear in his ears: "Can you hit the doll in her hand at this distance?" ”
Jiang Wan nodded, but saw that the eye in Chen Qing's eyebrows was closed, and a smile appeared on her face.
"It's pretty accurate, so don't worry about it." He paused for a moment and stretched out his hand to the desk not far away: "Hit that desk." ”
"Huh?"
She was stunned for a moment, but the movement in her hand was not stunned, but at the moment when the muzzle of the gun shifted to the left, a huge force came from the body of the gun.
The force was as great as an adult's full force, but no matter how strong it was, it was impossible to snatch the gun from the investigator's hand.
The muzzle of the gun in her hand was only crooked, and the knuckles had already exerted all their strength, and the pinched joints turned white, controlling the body of the gun and remaining in her hand.
"Who!"
She shouted angrily, and her unbelievable gaze had already turned to the girl not far away.
She frowned, and her thumb had already deducted the safety on the gun.
"That's what it is...... The non-existent person in their family? ”
Chen Qing shook his head and walked to Jiang Wan's side: "You are not me, right?" Or rather...... What kind of negative effect is this? ”
She listened to Chen Qing's words, with a puzzled look on her face, she looked at the puppet in her hand, and seemed to be unable to understand why it was invalid.
"What is the intangible cultural heritage...... What are you talking about, I don't understand! Do you want this doll?! Take it if you want it! ”
Jiang Wan frowned slightly, the doll in the girl's hand had been thrown a little distance and had fallen to Jiang Wan's feet.
She maintained the muzzle position, let go of a hand, and was about to squat down slowly to pick it up, but Chen Qing grabbed her.
"What's wrong?" She looked at Chen Qing and shook her head, letting go of the hand holding her arm.
He got up and walked towards the girl.
"You're doing a good job. It's really good. ”
He walked over to the desk and touched the clean mirror on it with his hand.
"But you were in too much of a hurry, maybe the glasses on my forehead made you panic, and you were too anxious to present the doll to us. This made me even more sure of my guesses. ”
She watched Chen Qing's fingertips caress the mirror, her face was pale and trembling, she panicked, and there was a little blood on her lips, which was the blood that was inadvertently torn out by her teeth.
"I ...... I don't know what you're talking about! ”
"You're in too much of a hurry. If, according to your parents, your memories are not interconnected, then how can you remember what this doll is?
But you're in too much of a hurry. Just out of fear, you choose to take out the doll.
But you're in too much of a hurry, it's just that she's just pulled out a gun and pointed it at her desk...... Oh, I guess you can't hold back the moment you look at that mirror.
Second: the timing of the non-existent person's appearance could not have been more appropriate.
After you take out that doll; After you throw the doll away.
This makes perfect sense. So much so that I had to reconsider whether or not all this was choreographed.
You're in too much of a hurry. ”
He touched the mirror, and the world in the mirror changed suddenly.
He was a little more serious, adjusting his height to the height of a girl, and he changed his position, standing where the girl had just been.
From this particular angle, he saw a very different world.
The messy and dirty liquids, the solutions that smeared the entire room, converged at a certain angle into a pattern, layered on top of each other.
And in that mirror, in the middle of the room, stood the non-existent man in the mouths of the crowd.
"It's ...... You? ”
Chen Qing turned to the side and let the two people in the mirror stand on one side.
This time, he could clearly recognize that the faces of the two men were exactly the same.
"Zhang ......"
"Zhang Lan." Jiang Wan added on the side.
"Okay...... Miss Lan Zhang, can you explain the current situation? Chen Qing looked at her restrained expression and smiled.
Even though the facial features on his face had returned to normal at this moment, even though the flesh on his face had disappeared, Zhang Lan's expression was still extremely nervous.
She hesitated, slowly retreating: "I don't know...... I don't know......"
She whispered, but the mirror on her desk suddenly let out a violent thud.
After Chen Qing and the others turned their heads to look, they saw the paper and pen on the table and began to move on their own.
"Who are you?"
The text is beautiful, and it looks like the font that a high school student should have.
"Someone who can help you." Chen Qing paused for a moment: "But you have to tell me the truth." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Lan on one side turned a little pale, and she shouted: "How can you believe her!" She's a ghost! She's a ghost! She wanted to kill me! You protect me! ”
He tilted his head to look, and the girl's expression didn't look like she was pretending.
Her fingertips were still trembling, and there were quite a few people who could control the micro-movements at the ends of her limbs, but the girl was clearly not among them.
And he turned his head to look again, and wrote the second sentence on the paper: "Why should I believe that you can help me?" ”
