Tick...... Tick......

A few drops of rain fell from the heavy dark clouds.

Raindrops fell on Xia Buhe's face, with an inexplicable coolness.

The smell of disinfectant water in the hospital still filled Xia Buhe's nasal passages, even though she and Gu Yao had already walked out of the hospital gate.

Gu Yao was smiling, just like when she first walked into the hospital.

Her smile is sweet in the sun and sweet in the raindrops under the clouds.

A laurel tree on the side of the road bloomed, small and tender flowers, exuding a light fragrance, mixed with the smell of freshly moistened dust, and it could not hide the smell of despair that permeated Gu Yao's sweet smile.

"Get in the car, it's raining......"

Gu Yao stopped a taxi and pulled Xia Buhe into the back seat.

Boom la la la......

The heavy rain poured down without waiting for pedestrians to return home.

The rain hit the roof of the car and then slid down the windows.

"Where are you going? The two beauties ...... "The driver of the taxi turned half sideways, turned his head and asked in the back seat.

A medical mask covered the lower half of his face, and a pair of wide sunglasses on top of the mask blocked his eyes, making it difficult to see his face.

Shabhe didn't speak, she didn't know where to go next......

Gu Yao was slightly tired between her eyebrows, she lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "Go to the newly opened Shiyue Plaza in the dormitory area of the old steel mill......"

"Korat ......" the driver answered and started the car.

The water trickled down the front windshield and the wipers swayed almost wildly, but they could only make the vision clear for a moment.

It was dark and there was water on the road.

The wheels were pressed over the stagnant water, and the water splashed on the windows.

Looking out from the inside of the car, you can only see the dense flow of water on the windows.

The air inside the car is even more oppressive, and all that comes into your ears are lifeless sounds like raindrops hitting the roof, the squeak of wipers, and the howling of car engines.

Xia Buhe wanted to say something to break the embarrassment in the car at this time, but she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.

The taxi driver also seemed to be fed up with the stalemate, and unscrewed the knob on the radio.

"A large-scale landslide occurred in Dongshan Park today, resulting in a leak in the nearby chemical warehouse, and the relevant units have dispatched personnel to deal with it, and nearby residents have been evacuated urgently......"

Gu Yao listened to the radio on the radio, his eyebrows froze, and he asked Xia Buhe. "There are no chemical companies in Dongshan District, why do chemical leaks occur?"

Xia Buhe was puzzled and asked rhetorically: "How do you know that there are no chemical companies in Dongshan District?" ”

Gu Yao replied confidently: "Our company had plans to build a resort in Dongshan Park before, so I carefully studied the distribution map of enterprises in Dongshan District, and there are no chemical-related enterprises there at all!" ”

"But, that's what the news says......"

At this time, the driver of the car looked up and skimmed the rearview mirror.

A sharp gaze passed through the sunglasses, and the reflection of the rearview mirror was cast onto Xia Buhe's face.

"News? Does what the news says have to be true? Recently, there have been so many cases of missing people in Cangjiang City, have they been reported in the news? ”

The driver's sudden speech made Xia Buhe and Gu Yao both sense a trace of danger.

Before the two of them could react, they felt a darkness in front of them......

-----------------

Tick......

The rainwater from the eaves of the house flowed down in streams, hitting the unhardened ground beside the walls, and washing out small holes in the dirt.

Zuo You took out a towel and handed it to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu wiped his wet hair, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and said with some concern: "Such a heavy rain won't wash away your rough house, right?" ”

Zuo You glanced at Xiao Yu hatefully, and said resentfully: "Can't you hope that I will be better?" This house is my only asset, and if it washes me down, I really won't have anything......"

Xiao Yu opened his mouth and said with a smile: "You can't even get the real estate certificate for this house, strictly speaking, it is not your property!" ”

"Hmm......" Zuo You nodded heavily, "But, whether there is a real estate certificate or not, this is my home......"

Xiao Yu stretched out his index finger, put it in front of Zuo You's eyes and shook it: "No, this is not your home...... there should be things you like in your 'home', whether it is a model, a figure, a book you like, flowers and plants...... But your house, which is just a house that saves you from displacement, does not give you the feeling of home. ”

Xiao Yu almost made it clear directly: If you want a real "home", you still need someone you like......

Zuo You thought for a moment and sighed: "That's the case...... Every day after work, I was alone in this empty house, alone ......"

Zuo You then changed his words, and the sadness in his expression turned into indignation: "It's all because this garbage room is open!" If the community is connected to water and electricity, I can watch TV and play games when I come back from work...... Why so lonely! ”

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly twice - there is a reason why you are single......

"By the way, does the organization have any important tasks in Cangjiang recently?" Xiao Yu put the towel on the back of the chair.

Zuo You glared at Xiao Yu with disgust, picked up the towel on the back of the chair and walked to the bathroom: "Even if there is an important task, do you think I can receive news at my level?" ”

Zuo You hung the towel back to the bathroom, only to come back to his senses and poke out half of his head: "You would ask this, it means that you must have found something!" ”

Xiao Yu nodded: "Recently, there have been too many magicians in Cangjiang City, some are casual cultivators, some are organized, and there are many more who can't see the way out......"

Zuo You's face was at a loss, and he couldn't help but say, "Almost all magicians have files in the organization. If there are really a lot of magicians pouring into Cangjiang, it is impossible for the organization to be without action! ”

"That's why I'm asking you if the organization has released important tasks......"

"I ...... I really don't know......" Zuo You lowered his head, trying to find relevant clues in his mind, "That's right! A few months ago, several low-ranking members of the organization had disappeared while on a mission in Cangjiang. Later, the organization sent several people to Cangjiang to investigate, and as a result, the people who came to investigate also disappeared......"

Xiao Yu looked surprised: "The magician is missing? What rank are the missing people? ”

"The rank is not high, they are all ...... who do chores in the organization"

"Why do you think the disappearance of a few months ago is related to the recent influx of magicians into the Cangjiang River?" Xiao Yu asked.

Zuo You shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure what the relationship between the two is, but I've always felt that those people disappeared very strangely, and the organization doesn't seem to be investigating very carefully......"

Zuo You's voice was abruptly interrupted.

A strange cry that seemed to cry but not cry, and seemed to laugh but not laughed came into the ears of the two.

Xiao Yu and Zuo You glanced at each other.

Zuo You pointed to the Bluetooth speaker on the table: "My speakers haven't been turned on, this sound is not my ......"

"I can hear it, this voice is coming from outside the house......" Xiao Yu smiled without saying a word, "It seems that there are really dirty things in your community......"

Zuo You looked around left and right and hugged Xiao Yu's arm: "His grandmother's, don't scare me, okay!" You're scared of me, I'm going to live at your house tonight......"

Xiao Yu pulled out his arm from Zuo You's strong arms: "You've lived here for so long, don't you want to see what the dirty things in this community are?" ”

There was no answer left and right, and Xiao Yu had already walked out of the house.

Zuo You looked at the dimly lit room, hesitated, gritted his teeth, and followed.

Outside, the rain was still pouring down, and the path between the houses was muddy.

Xiao Yu searched for the strange sound, burrowed through a broken guardrail, and stepped into a knee-high dense weedy behind the guardrail.

"Wait for me!"

Zuo You, who was following Xiao Yu, was stuck in the gap of the broken guardrail because he was too strong.

Zuo You's shout seemed to alarm something in the grass.

There was a flickering of thin patches in the grass, and a blurry yellow left Xiao Yu's field of vision at an extremely fast speed.

"Is that a cat?" Zuo You, who had gotten rid of the railing, walked quickly to Xiao Yu's side, and he only saw a vague shadow flashing by.

"It's not ......" Xiao Yu, who was drenched, shook his head: "Cats don't make that kind of noise......"

"Do you still want to chase it?"

"I have to see what this thing is today......"

Xiao Yu stepped on his feet, and his body jumped into the air.

Then the whole body turned into a feather, and flew lightly in the direction where the yellow shadow disappeared.

Zuo You shook his head, his soaked shirt dripping with rain.

After taking a deep breath, he stepped forward while exhaling, and rushed in front of Xiao Yu in a few steps.

Xiao Yu saw that Zuo You's figure had run in front of him, and once again he was lucky and energetic, and pushed behind him......

A cyclone emanated from Xiao Yu's palm, allowing Xiao Yu to gain the acceleration brought by the thrust back, and the flying feather instantly turned into a flying arrow......

Seeing this, Zuo You secretly worked hard, and his feet were fast......

Two people in the rain, one in the air and one on the ground.

The two of you chase after me, and they don't give in to each other.

They all seem to have forgotten their goal - to catch the critter that screams.

The two of them seemed to be fighting each other, and when they were about to be caught several times, they deliberately let them go......

After going back and forth, the two chased the blurred yellow around the community for more than 200 circles......

In the end, the two still didn't compare with each other.

Because of the boring game between the two, the yellow creature was exhausted and paralyzed......

It lay on its side, panting, its tongue falling out of its mouth and drooping to the ground.

Miraculously, it ran in the rain for so long, but the fine fluff on its body was not wet by the rain at all.

It was a cat-like creature, not a cat, and the overall size was no different from that of a regular domestic cat, but it was not as fat and lazy as a domestic cat.

It resembles a small cheetah, covered with tendon flesh, with slender limbs, two fangs sticking out of its mouth, and round eyes full of anger.

And the most distinctive thing about it is that this "cat" has three slender tails.

"What is this?"

Zuo You leaned over and looked at the small yellow animal on the ground, his eyes full of curiosity.
