Click.

The bus stops with the door open in front of you.

Lu Mingfei put away his umbrella and took steps to get into the car, put in coins, and turned his head to look.

The bus was full of empty seats, only a few figures sat quietly in the corner wearing raincoats, and the cold light of the mobile phone screen shone on the pale faces of dead people, which made people can't help but shiver all over their bodies.

Lu Mingfei walked to a corner by the window and sat down, the push back of the bus pressed him to the seat, and the window next to him was crackled by the rain, and the raindrops pulled an oblique trajectory on the window glass.

The heavy rain after winter and the gray and dark sky have covered the world with a layer of gray.

Although it's only evening, it's time to rest and go shopping after work, but it's clear that not many people are willing to go out in this kind of weather today.

The flow of people on the street was cut off by the rain like knives, and only occasionally you can see the cars passing by on the street with their headlights on, honking their horns and splashing people in the rain.

Inside the quiet bus, only the wipers kept grinding sound.

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes and wanted to take a nap, but those subtle sounds seemed to be amplified several times, making him fall into inexplicable anxiety and restlessness.

Eventually, the bus slowed down, and with a click, the doors slowly opened.

Before the rain drifted into the car, a figure had already jumped out.

Lu Mingfei, footsteps.

There were no people in the vicinity of the apartment, and the lights in each building were turned off one by one, and after a day of hustle and bustle, it was quiet again, but the cold wind blew more tightly.

Lu Mingfei hurriedly walked on the empty road, ran back to the apartment in the heavy rain, and was so impatient that he didn't even open the umbrella, but when he arrived downstairs in the apartment, he suddenly stopped and glanced behind him.

Not far away, only the dimly lit streetlamps stood alone, and the road below was illuminated, and everything else was shrouded in darkness and silence.

“…… Did you hear it wrong? Lu Mingfei's eyes flickered, and after glancing around, he raised his legs and walked into the shadows of the apartment.

It was quiet in the stairs of the apartment, except for the faint sound of rain outside.

There was no one in the hallway, only the closed doors, only the exit lights, which glowed with a dim green light, as if entering a closed cage.

But Lu Mingfei still lowered his head slowly and found a few dark red dots on the ground.

He took a deep breath and crouched down, snuggling his fingers at the red dots.

The surface of the red dot has dried, but it has a wet and sticky feeling and a sweet smell.

- It's blood.

As if to verify the speculation in his heart that he didn't want to believe, Lu Mingfei's hairs all over his body slowly stood upside down.

He looked a little confused ahead, and there were still a few spots of blood on the stairs in front of him, and just like that, it spread all the way to the first floor in front of him.

Ground floor door...... It's not off.

Lu Mingfei stood up slowly, his chest heaved violently, and he stood with bated breath, he moved his feet again, slowly walked up the steps, and walked on tiptoe towards the first floor.

Getting closer and closer to the door of the black hole, Lu Mingfei's heart was beating faster and faster, and the pounding sound seemed to echo in the corridor.

Lu Mingfei even felt that if there was someone in that room, his heartbeat would have been heard a long time ago, right?

Suddenly, he heard a voice that didn't belong to him.

Unusually rapid breathing and whispering, and ...... Strange subtle noises.

………………

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

"No, the target is preparing dinner right now."

"Can we just wait now? Can't you just go in and arrest someone? ”

The dull atmosphere gradually spread through the room, like the smoke rising from it, through which you can't see me, I can't see you clearly.

But the squatting police officers were in the same state.

Exhausted and emotionally irritable.

"Don't complain, didn't those two say it, the target's current state is dangerous, and you can only wait for that guy to come out by himself."

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Yan, who was sitting in front of the monitor, jumped up, stretched his waist, and looked down at his watch.

At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and Huang Yan and Anani walked in, each carrying two large bags of boxed lunches.

"Everyone, it's hard work, let's eat first."

When they saw those boxed lunches, the police officers looked very happy.

After getting the boxed lunch, they couldn't wait to stand against the wall, or squatted in the corner, eating rudely, gulping down the food that had become a little cold, and occasionally someone bit the sand and swallowed it.

Even if you are leaning against the cold wall, even if you swallow the rice that is not hot in the cold wind, it looks delicious.

However, while eating, they do not forget to keep an eye on the place where the target is, and do not miss any suspicious people or things.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I feel admiration...... The group of wine bags and rice bags in our country who take taxpayers' money but only fish in troubled waters can't do it to this extent. ”

Looking at this group of sloppy and haggard, but always vigilant like hunters, Anani sighed to Huang Yan beside him.

As he spoke, he divided a few boxes of good cigarettes and received the gratitude of several police officers.

Seeing the officers gobbling up, Anani also seemed to feel a little hungry, and shared a box of lunch under Jiang Yan's white gaze.

"The target had just dropped out of sight, grabbed some candles and red wine, and what appeared to be some roses."

After hearing his subordinates' report, Jiang Yan frowned and muttered, "That guy...... Preparing a candlelit dinner? ”

Candles and red wine, and roses?

Just when he was still doubting in his heart, Huang Yan on the side walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, "How many tableware has that guy prepared?" ”

This sudden movement and sound startled Jiang Yan.

"What's wrong?" He glanced at the surveillance and subconsciously replied, "Two copies, oh no, three copies...... Hey? Why prepare so much? ”

But in the next second, seeing a familiar figure, Jiang Yan's face suddenly changed.

"Damn, why is that kid there?!"

………………

In a neat and clean room with dim lighting.

Q gently took out four goblets and placed them on the Western-style dining table with four seats.

Plates and cutlery are placed in front of each seat, and napkins are folded in the shape of roses in the dishes.

All this is enough to prove how much the host attaches importance to the sense of ritual of this dinner.

Syllable!

Q used the corkscrew to pull out the cork of the red wine in a rusty way.

It's like imitating someone, pouring red wine in a weird way.

Despite his efforts to make himself more elegant, he can only see weirdness to outsiders.

"Do you like it, Mom?"

Q looked at the top of the table and smiled, "It's your birthday, and I've prepared this special dinner." ”

“……”

The figure sitting in front of him did not respond.

There was only an eerie silence and coldness in the room.

The cold moonlight outside the window poured in, and the figure in front of the table loomed.

Q seems to be used to her silence.

Just carefully hold her up, not forgetting to cover her with a blanket.

After doing all this, Q looked at the figure on the side again, showed a cautious and humble smile, and said in a soothing tone: "Dad, can I drink a little bit today?" ”

“……”

Receiving no response, Q picked up the glass in front of him and touched it on the one opposite.

"Dad, I don't need friends, I can take care of myself......"

"Mom, I seem to have someone I like, but can someone like me......

The sound of self-talk, accompanied by a crisp crash, echoed through the silent room.

As night fell, the two figures became more and more blurred, sitting there quietly, as if trying to match the quiet environment, and like two faithful listeners.

In the darkness, only a figure could be seen shaking, and there seemed to be a chewing sound in his mouth.

Listening to the sound of rain sliding on the eaves outside the window, chewing on the cold and slightly damp to evoke the taste of loneliness.

But at this time.

Click!

The ballast of the fluorescent lamps hummed, and the room instantly brightened as day.

Q, who was already used to the dark, was dizzy from the shake, and Huo Ran turned his head to look.

“…… Xie Wan? ”

In the room full of the smell of blood, Lu Mingfei stood at the door of the living room, pressing one hand on the light switch,

The trembling pupils were filled with fear.

Finally saw it.

The strong light came down from the top of her head, Xie Wan's eyes turned blue, and her eyes were pitch black, and she couldn't see the whites of her eyes.

The side of her mouth was bright red, and from time to time a viscous red liquid dripped from the corners of her mouth.

And right next to her, there were two dolls.

The whole human skin is tightly put on the doll, but the human skin has been black and rotten, and the appearance of middle-aged men and women can be vaguely seen, and a smile is painted on both faces, which is vivid but extremely strange and absurd.

"You ......" This impactful scene made Lu Mingfei stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly his whole body was cold, and his expression and voice trembled slightly and asked, "What the hell are you ......doing?" What are you doing? ”

At that moment, he saw a flash of beastly ferocity in the girl's eyes, but then there was helplessness and despair that almost overflowed from her eyes.

"Lu Mingfei, you're here too......" She suddenly grinned, but the smile disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the corners of her eyes and mouth drooped, "I don't know......"

Only then did Lu Mingfei notice that the strange smell in the air, the rancid smell that even the freshener couldn't hide, made him feel sick to his stomach.

"Xie Wan! What the hell is going on?! ”

He raised his head suddenly, walked quickly to Xie Wan, reached out and pressed her shoulder, looked directly into her eyes, and asked slowly and uneasily, "That dog...... Little Q...... Where is it? ”

Xie Wan was at the mercy of a daze, as if she hadn't heard, her eyes staring at the front blankly, without the slightest intention of resisting.

It wasn't until she heard Lu Mingfei say Xiao Q's name that her eyes slowly moved to Lu Mingfei's eyes, looking like a patient with sequelae of a stroke.

Tears slowly slipped down his eyes, and he said in a tone without emotional fluctuations: "They all hate it...... I can't...... Again...... Rely on it ......"

Lu Mingfei stared at those dull eyes in amazement, trying his best to think about the meaning of Xie Wan's words.

"What do you mean, on whom?" He shook Xie Wan's shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice, "You speak!" ”

Under the violent shaking, Xie Wan's pupils shrank, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"No, no...... I don't know, I don't know! She raised her hand and wiped it around her mouth, but when she saw that her hands were covered in blood, tears and snot flowed instantly.

She wiped her face frantically with tears, and her face was covered in blood.

"No, no, don't worry, don't be afraid!" Lu Mingfei grabbed her hand hard and whispered, "Xie Wan! What the hell is going on, tell me, okay, let me help you ......"

Lu Mingfei? Lu Mingfei!

She seemed to have just recognized the person in front of her, and grabbed Lu Mingfei's collar as soon as she grabbed it, with deep fear and pleading in her eyes, "Help me, help me, please, it's not me, I didn't do it, I don't know ......"

"Don't tell anyone, don't tell anyone, I'm not crazy! I didn't mean to! I don't want that! ”

As she spoke, she pushed Lu Mingfei away violently, rushed to the table with another lunge, picked up the flesh and knives and forks with her hands, looked around, and kept saying to herself: "Quickly clean up, quickly, don't let others see it...... Fast! ”

Lu Mingfei was pushed to the ground, and his brain suddenly went blank.

Boom!!

Before he could react, the door was kicked open.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yan ran to Lu Mingfei's side with a tense face.

He protected Lu Mingfei behind him, raised the gun in his hand at the same time, pulled down the hammer with a click, and shouted at Xie Wan, who was distracted: "Put the knife down!" Otherwise I'll shoot! ”

"No, don't!" Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and hurriedly hugged Jiang Yan's arm, "Don't shoot, there must be something wrong with this matter!" She, she's not usually like this......"

The doors of several rooms outside opened one after another, and neighbors who heard the movement poked their heads out in their underwear, but were directly blocked back by the police.

However, Xie Wan looked at them in a daze, stared at Lu Mingfei and muttered, "You want to ...... too Abandon ......"

"Do it!"

Jiang Yan stepped forward with an arrow, saw that her hand holding the knife was firmly grasped, and her wrist flipped over.

I thought that Xie Wan would throw away the knife in pain, but I didn't expect that she wouldn't let go as if she wasn't afraid of pain, Jiang Yan hit her wrist with her knee fiercely, and the knife fell to the ground.

Then he grabbed Xie Wan by the collar and threw it forward hard, causing it to hit the wall hard, and then fell heavily to the ground and curled up.

Another officer stepped forward, flipped Xie Wan over, pressed his knees against her back, and pulled out his handcuffs and cuffed her hands behind her back.

Xie Wan was pressed to the ground and stared at Lu Mingfei.

The frenzied and ferocious look returned to her eyes again, and she struggled desperately and writhed to open her mouth to bite.

And the strength of the struggle made the faces of the police officers who restrained her change, and they shouted: "This guy's strength is too great!" ”

Lu Mingfei just looked at her in a daze, looking at the eyes that had become familiar, and there were only three words left in his mind at this time:

Why?

And at this moment, a figure walked in, and a gentle voice came into his ears:

"Has it been resolved? It's really hard work. ”
