Chapter 16 Graffiti
In the photo taken by the mobile phone, he is the only one, sitting on a bench outside Maiji, empty and empty.

All friends are just illusions.

"what……!"

Lei Yue suddenly woke up from the nightmare, took a deep breath, and felt that he was almost suffocating.

Dream?Just now, it was a dream, a dream!

He opened his eyes immediately and broke free from the darkness, brilliant neon light pierced his eyeballs.

I saw that the surroundings were not the familiar dilapidated bedroom, but Maiji decorated in a simple style. He was lying on a dining table by the street window, waking up from a nightmare, sweating all over his head.

He turned his eyes hastily, the clock on the wall showed that it was past three o'clock in the morning, the door was silent, no policeman called by Chu Yundong suddenly broke in...

The clerk in the M hat behind the counter was also taking a nap, and the Mailu people who stayed overnight in the store, no matter how old or young they were, basically fell asleep.

In a corner quite far away, Lingsha was sleeping against the corner of the wall, with a few skateboards beside her, blending into the shadows like a ghost.

Lei Yue let out a long sigh, it was just a dream...

He turned his eyes to look at the street view outside, but saw a tall, bloody, weird figure standing there on the opposite side of the street, and the neon light couldn't illuminate its shadow.

"I live this life, and I will go crazy sooner or later."

Lei Yue looked away laughing at himself, feeling very confused.

The crows who want to see can't see it, but the weird people who don't want to see are always there.

He turned around, no longer lying on the table, but leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes to sleep again, but it was difficult to fall asleep for a long time.

Not only because of the dark alley, but also because this is the first time he spent the night in Maiji, and even the first time he spent the night outside alone in many years. In the past, his mother-in-law would always take care of him...

"Before I came to the film and television city, I wasn't completely sure that I would spend the night here. I brought enough clothes, but I missed the incense for my mother-in-law. What if they are really hungry?"

He thought to himself, "No matter how I want to live, I must treat my family well, and I will go home to offer incense every three or four days at most."

I also want to tell them about my own tricks and meeting new friends.

Lei Yue tossed and turned on the dining table, opened his eyes from time to time, and glanced at the colorful-haired girl sleeping in that corner.

……

The strange man never went away, and the crow never appeared.

Another three days passed, and Lei Yue was messing around in the film and television city. Things really went as Lingsha imagined, and no police came to the door.

He asked Sister Hua on the second day after the incident, and learned that "Moonlight Lost City" continued to work, and Chu Yundong still appeared on the set wearing black-rimmed glasses to direct.

It's just that Director Chu is said to be in a bad mood and looks depressed all day long. Sister Hua was scolded several times at first, and finally kicked out of the group leader job of "Moonlight Lost City".

"It's inexplicable! Chu Yundong is getting bigger and bigger." Sister Hua scolded him.

Probably.The more Lei thought, Director Chu's back should be very swollen these days.

From that night on, Lei Yue kept his memory in that Mai Kee, went out to start work during the day, and went to Mai Kee at night for food, laundry, and lodging.

This week, he was hanging out in those studios on Modern Street, and he was rarely scolded or kicked out.

It's not that he doesn't act seriously, it's just that he almost always acts in his true colors, "Dead Corpse".

Putting on costumes, holding an old prop rifle, and then going to the shooting area of ​​the set, it’s a day.

To die is to lie there without moving. Even if the weather is hot and the ground is so hot that you can make a barbecue, you can't move. The show can't end until the director calls it to stop.

It was quite hard work, but fortunately, Sister Hua was very straightforward in paying the bill every day, and sometimes added money to him. His current net worth has risen to 2610 yuan.

I can save money so much, I really want to thank Mak Kee and that new friend...

Lei Yue felt that it was good to memorize Zai Mai, but the bad thing was that there were not many opportunities to practice guns, and it was not even possible to take them out.

Now, he packs the pistol in a small black waistband. He looks like a capable worker like Sister Hua, but he can take out the gun at any time.

This morning, Lei Yue and Sister Hua asked for leave, because they had to go home, wash and change their clothes, and most importantly, offer incense to their mother-in-law and parents.

Originally, he could go back in the evening and spend the night at home, but now he would rather stay in Maiji...

Early in the morning, the sky in the morning was already gloomy.

"A bunch of incense, fifty cents a bunch!" "Homemade sugar cane water!"

Lei Yue got off the bus and walked in the noisy and crowded Furong Market, staggering.

Because of not taking medicine, the condition of "living dead disease" is getting worse every day...

When he woke up this morning, he felt that his neck, which had festered for many days, spewed blood from time to time, and the breath of death was so close, so he wore a turtleneck and tied his neck tighter for better comfort.

And in order not to attract attention in the village, he also covered his bad face tightly, although now he doesn't cover it up in the film and television city except when acting.

"There seem to be more people in the market..."

At this time, Lei Yue squeezed and walked in the crowd, almost unable to squeeze every step he took, and every hawker stall was full of customers.

Some are familiar villagers' faces, and more are strangers who have never seen them before.

Suddenly, he stopped, but saw an acquaintance in front of him, eating a string of fish balls next to a string of incense.

It was a short-haired boy with a relatively short and chubby figure. He had an ordinary round face with many acne marks, and the wire braces on his teeth were exposed between the slightly protruding mouth.

Huang Ziqiang.

Lei Yue and Huang Ziqiang are not in the same class in elementary school or junior high school, and they basically didn't play together when they were young. The friendship was established by three years of high school classmates. Friendship...

Huang Ziqiang was also there at the party at China World Trade Center that day, and he wanted to call him to go, but everyone sprayed him so that he didn't mention it.

"..." Lei Yue took a deep breath, suppressed the sickness in his body, mustered up his recent new mentality, and strode over, "Xiaoqiang!"

"?" Before Huang Ziqiang could react, someone hugged his shoulders from behind and shook him vigorously. When he turned his head and saw Lei Yue, he was even more stunned, "A Yue..."

"I haven't seen you for a few days." Lei Yue greeted with a smile.

He saw that the other party was suddenly a little nervous, as if he had a guilty conscience.

That's right, Xiaoqiang hasn't called or sent him a single call or message recently.

"Uh, no." Huang Ziqiang said hesitantly, "Going out to travel for a few days before coming back..."

"I saw your circle of friends, a group graduation trip." Lei Yue bluntly stated that some people at the party that day did it by going to the beach, staying in a homestay, and surfing.

I didn't see whether Yang Yinuo went, maybe, it has nothing to do with you.

"Yes, I don't know if you are finished, so I didn't call you..." Huang Ziqiang swallowed a mouthful of fish balls with a smile, "No one dares to disturb you."

lie, lie.Lei Yue looked at this old friend, Xiaoqiang was not like this before.

But people will change, he will change, Xiaoqiang will also change.

"You boy." Lei Yue shook his head and laughed, rubbed Huang Ziqiang's head vigorously, and said like a black sheep: "I'm done, my mother-in-law is gone, don't mention it, next time you go to play remember to call I ha."

Seeing Huang Ziqiang's dumbfounded expression, he obviously didn't know how to answer the conversation, and he said weakly after a while, "Okay, but I'm not the one who organizes it, maybe I can't make a decision."

When Lei Yue heard this, not only did he not feel chilled, but his heart warmed up.

Xiaoqiang, it would be nice to just tell me straight...

I don't blame you for not calling me, I know that when a draw is played with a bunch of positive choices, it can be difficult.

I'm...Lei Yue sighed slightly in his heart, I don't like Xiaoqiang not to say anything, and don't treat him as...a friend.

"We'll talk about it at that time, and I may not be free." He said, walking forward with Huang Ziqiang in his arms, and actively changed the subject: "The village has been in a mess recently."

"Yes." Huang Ziqiang nodded again and again, "I heard from my mother that there are people fighting in the market almost every day..."

Lei Yue hummed, and was paying attention to the information of the villagers every day. Recently, the village has become more and more chaotic, with many people and troubles.

The lack of control by the village committee also means that the police do not seem to be able to fully grasp the developments.

It has been nearly half a month since the strange garbage dump murder happened.

[Why Furong Village? 】

The words written by the shotgun man flashed in his mind again.

At this time, they saw a group of people surrounding the road ahead, which made it even more crowded and noisy.

"What's the matter?" Lei Yuezheng was suspicious, but suddenly he saw a dark phantom passing through the crowd, and he was even more surprised: that friend!

The crow that hasn't been seen for a few days seems to be right ahead!

"I'll go and have a look." Lei Yue quickly let go of Huang Ziqiang's shoulders and walked forward, looking for the phantom of the crow among the shadows.

Soon, he could clearly hear some aunts and uncles saying dissatisfied and puzzled:

"Who painted it, I haven't walked past it before!"

"Yeah, so many people walk the road, how to paint it, paint it so fast..."

"Will this thing destroy Feng Shui? Find someone to clear it up."

Where is that friend?Lei Yue squeezed his way forward from the crowd, because he was tall, so he could see past the figures of aunts and uncles.

He didn't see a crow, but he saw a large piece of colorful street graffiti on a concrete road ahead.

They were portraits of men, cartoony, punk, all kinds of portraits crammed together, distorted and grotesque.

However, all the portraits appear to be the same person, just with different poses, angles and graffiti styles.

"..." Lei Yue's eyes gradually widened, and the more he looked, the more his heart beat violently. The crow wanted to bring him over to see this graffiti?

He knew who the man was, because in one of the pictures, the man was dressed in black and black hat, holding a shotgun in his right hand to half cover his face.

This portrait is painted on the face of a black-edged poker card.

There are no points on the card, but there are two lines of text below the portrait:
【Shotgun Man】

【SHOTGUN MAN】

Lei Yue was looking at the graffiti on the gunman card on the road in front of him, feeling an indescribable emotion...

Suddenly, a sharp shadow flew towards him and landed on his shoulder almost like a cannonball.

"Hey..." Lei Yue almost fell down, the pistol in his pocket dangling.

He turned his head to look, and saw that it was indeed a crow that he hadn't seen for a few days. It stood upright on his shoulders, and his flesh and flesh ached from its claws.

Facing its cold black eyes, Lei Yue suddenly felt a bit chilly, and he had this feeling that night at the garbage dump.

He couldn't help but follow its gaze to one side of the distance, his brows were immediately frowned, and a large number of people were rushing over there like a tidal wave.

Those people are all in good shape, with a solemn demeanor, and wherever they go, they will directly push away passers-by who are in the way.

Among them was a large man in an army green vest and khaki pants, with a round face and muscles all over his body.

The big man walked towards the crowd of onlookers, his eyes seemed to be directed at him, and he yelled at several people from the village committee:

"Evacuate the villagers immediately, guard the intersection to see if there are any strange and suspicious guys, this market will be closed for a long time!"
