Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

The bushes shook slightly.There were strangely shaped shadows in the corners where the street lights couldn't reach.A few seconds after confirming that the surroundings were quiet, the branches and leaves were separated to one side, and a figure came out from under the security window of the house on the ground floor.The soles of the shoes stepped on the fallen leaves and the dirty phlegm that someone spit on the ground. The man who rode the motorcycle a few days ago squirmed silently while swearing, and turned to the front of the anti-theft door lightly.The thin coat on his body exuded a strong smell of smoke, even with his eyes closed he could distinguish it from a distance.

But now besides him, there is no one else by the door.He looked left and right, took out the key from his pocket, opened the anti-theft door without any effort and stepped into the corridor.This key was stuffed by grandma specially for him, in case he wanted to come back one day but would be blocked out.When people get old, they talk a lot and are afraid of loneliness. As long as there are people next to them, they will talk endlessly. He used to feel that it was annoying to death, but this time he was lucky that he happened to listen to his grandmother nagging not long ago. It was so good The key information is captured.

There are two families on each floor of the old residential building here. The couple who lived in [-] divorced several years ago. I went out to make a fortune with my new husband, and the only child left here is still living here.When the mother left her son, she must feel guilty, so she paid money and sent things back every three days. It is not sure whether the money was paid or not. When the courier delivered the things, grandma was watching at the window.Although grandma mentioned this matter to him to warn him that "this kind of woman who has left her child behind should not have money", but he heard it, and the focus was all on the word "money".

He didn't think much of it then.No matter how easy that family sounds, it is only one floor away from grandma's house.Rabbits know how to eat grass beside their nests.And he was not short of money at that time, so he didn't need to find a child to bully him.

But he is short of money now.

He felt his teeth itch when he mentioned the antecedent.That woman is ugly and has a poor figure. It's not for the usual food, drink, and someone to pay the bills. Will there be men who are willing to hang out with her and make her happy?She usually speaks nicely and looks generous when buying things, but when she asks her for some money to cover the losses in stocks, she starts whining and refusing to take it out.You have to keep cats in the rented house together, what kind of cat is not good to raise a black cat!I picked it up from the side of the road, so it's not very flattering to look at.

He just thought that the kitten was disturbing, so he took it to the balcony and locked it up, and he didn't intend to throw it downstairs, it squeezed out of the gap in the railing... Who would have thought that the cat fell from the second floor Can you fall to your death?Can this be his fault?He didn't want to listen to the reprimand and avoided going out. He drank outside in the middle of the night and then went back. He almost thought that the house had been ransacked and called the police - the woman packed up her things overnight and left without leaving a note.Afterwards, he made dozens of phone calls and sent more than a hundred messages, apologizing, speaking softly, and swearing... He tried to persuade him to stay, but he was simply blocked.

I am used to spending money lavishly, how can I keep it for a while?The stock was still falling, so he went back to invite friends to have fun a few times. At the end of the month, he came to his senses and realized that, not to mention the pile of credit card bills, he might not even be able to pay the rent next month.There has been no one to help clean it up, and the clothes on the outside are becoming more and more like gangsters.At this time, he put aside his previous concerns... Conscience and the like, and turned his mind to this clump of grass by the side of the nest.

People often come and go during the day, so it is inconvenient to start, and it is very likely that grandma will see it at the door.He came here a few nights ago. Unexpectedly, the locks of that house had been changed a few years ago, and they were not as easy to open as the old ones.This time he specially brought tools here, and he planned to do it later, but he never expected that the child would go out so late at such a great time...

He didn't intend to hurt anyone, he just wanted to get some valuables. At most, he would wait for the kid to come back and scare him not to call the police. If the money was in the passbook and he couldn't get it for a while, then forget it - he'll take his time later.I just don't know if that dead old woman is talking nonsense at all. If this family is actually just a poor man with no money at all, his efforts to follow the spots and find tools to learn how to open the lock these days will be in vain.

The man in the old coat walked upstairs lightly, holding the tools in his fat pocket with one hand to prevent them from colliding.When he arrived at the door of the target, he took out a small flashlight and turned it on to take a picture. Seeing that the keyhole and the scratches on the side of the door had been scratched, he sneered inwardly and curled his lips, then took out a few keys with many grooves engraved metal bars.This is what he got by chance when he was asking for advice from his friends. He has practiced with similar doors in the past few days, and the success rate is only average.If he couldn't open it, he would have to wait for the kid to come back and ask him for the key.

He bit the flashlight and struggled for 5 minutes, but the progress was not smooth.The lock was much stronger than he had imagined.The sound of metal rubbing sounded loud and scary in the quiet corridor, and after a few minutes passed, he began to lose patience, and he always felt that there was some movement coming from the door of another house behind him, as if he had discovered this side. The anomaly was watching him secretly through the cat's eyes.He turned his head a few times, but found nothing, but his mood became more impetuous, and it didn't take long before he cursed the trash and pulled the metal strip back.

Nothing is going well.He spat against the wall, wanted to kick the door but held back.

What to do now?Are you waiting here for someone to come back?Just as he was about to lean his back against the wall, he heard footsteps approaching from behind the next door, accompanied by a question of "who is outside", and the sound of the lock being unlocked.He bounced off the wall reflexively, put his hands in his pockets and turned his head to go downstairs. Finally, he reacted quickly enough to slip into the next layer of shadows where the lights couldn't reach before the door next door was opened and the lights turned on.

Then he remembered: I heard that the next door was also a woman with a child alone, or a daughter—then what was he afraid of?But he ran away, and he didn't turn back after all.That's right, if they weren't frightened at once, and there was a conflict in the corridor, the commotion would be too loud.It's better...just start on the road outside.

He touched the fruit knife in another pocket, and didn't realize how hideous his expression was at this moment.There was a glimmer of light in the shadow in the corner of the stairs, like a small black thing blinking—he didn't notice the light, but he just walked downstairs while planning the steps in his mind.

Lu You slowly ran around twice along the noisy small square, and the heaviness of something pressing on his chest finally eased.

Aunties lined up in squares were dancing square dances in the small square, and the music was loudly played. Although they were all very old and vulgar songs, there was a sense of relaxation and excitement in the ears.Many children "fly" around the square on rented roller skates or scooters. There are also dog walkers leading Pomeranians and huskies. Lu You must carefully dodge them in time. Don't get hit by one of them.

The fitness equipment area is on the edge of the small square. When Lu You passed by, there was no one on the parallel bars. He propped himself up and sat on one side of the bars. Looking at the dark tree shadows not far away, he sat wobbly for a while. meeting.Although it has been dark for a long time and the heat near the ground has dissipated, the temperature is still not cool. Only a slight wind blows over, which slightly relieves the heat and stickiness caused by the two laps of jogging just now.

It was only when Lu You left the house this time that he realized that he hadn't sprayed mosquito repellant. In the past, if he stood for a while in such a place with a lot of grass and trees and the mosquitoes were particularly poisonous, he would be bitten and wanted to run away.Tonight, there was silence around him, and the mosquitoes who liked him all moved away -- Lu You hoped that they would never change their hearts.He saw with his own eyes a mosquito swaying over in a street light, making a sharp turn midway and flapping its wings frantically, as if it had been sprayed with insecticide.An interesting oddity.

For some reason, Lu You inexplicably thought of Qi Zhengyun at this moment.It's hard to imagine the man being bitten by a mosquito...not even sweating, even wrapped in black on a sweltering summer day.Lu You followed this line of thought, all the way from Qi Zhengyun playing badminton with him yesterday to Qi Zhengyun watching him eat breakfast that morning, he didn't notice that he was shaking a little bit on the parallel bars, and almost slipped down before recovering.

Now that his thoughts had been interrupted, Lu You slid down the parallel bars and was about to go back after thinking about walking outside for a long time.He touched the pocket of his trousers to make sure he hadn't lost the key, and then walked towards the boulevard leading from the fitness equipment area to the street.He had to go home through an empty road with dazzling street lights, and a dark but often trafficked road. In addition, there had been no serious incidents nearby, so he didn't have the awareness of paying special attention to safety.It's just... today's streets seem to be different from usual.When we walked to a dark section with few street lights, the surrounding area became quieter.

There was a small figure sitting in the middle of the road, the light outlined the furry silhouette, and the shadow dragged long behind, as if to indicate that there was a huge monster inside this small body.There was no one around, and there was no sound at all. This scene, like a page of fantasy illustrations, made Lu You's footsteps unconsciously slow down.The cat sitting in the middle of the road turned its head towards him silently, and the shadows dozens of times larger on the ground and on the wall next to it also distorted and changed accordingly—as if a ferocious monster invisible to the human eye was showing its fangs to him, but was accidentally caught by it. The light reveals whereabouts.

Lu You stopped as if he had been immobilized.

Then he watched the cat stand up, shake its fur contentedly, trot towards the parking lot on the side of the street, and disappear into the gap between the railings.

"...It scared me to death." Lu You murmured, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief after a few seconds.Of course, the horrifying atmosphere before was just a coincidence, and I would scare myself if I thought too much.But even though he was relaxed, he still felt that the surroundings seemed eerie, so he quickly picked up his pace after taking another step.

Turn right at the intersection in front, and walk less than [-] meters to reach the side entrance of the community.The streetlights beyond the intersection were even dimmer than those around Lu You now. It felt like the lampshade was covered with dust, and nothing could be clearly illuminated.And there was no one on the road... Just as Lu You was thinking this way, a figure suddenly appeared at the intersection.

It took Lu You two seconds to get used to the excitement that almost jumped out of his heart at that moment, another second to distinguish that the figure looked familiar, and another second to realize with surprise: Isn't that Qi Zhengyun?Someone he had only thought of a few minutes ago, now appeared without warning.Across a dark road, Lu You saw Qi Zhengyun waving his hand at him. The gesture didn't look like a greeting, but a dissuasion; then the man suddenly walked and ran, and within a few steps, he increased his speed to an astonishing speed. level, and ran towards him head-on.

Lu You didn't react at all.He stared blankly at Qi Zhengyun for a few seconds at first, and then his first move was not to avoid, but to realize that something might be happening around him—but his reaction was to turn his head and look behind him.Although he didn't go any further during this period, another person turned out from the cross road leading to the community and almost bumped into Lu You during the delay.At this moment, Qi Zhengyun was still more than ten meters away from them. When Lu You felt someone approaching and reflexively turned his eyes from the empty street behind him back to the front, he saw a flash of cold light in front of him——

He wasn't really sure if he had seen the man take out the knife.Because everything that followed happened so quickly.Perhaps all he saw was the little reflection, and the assailant who couldn't see his face clearly and only smelled a smell of snuff. The scene of the detached knife bouncing on the ground a few times before turning and sliding away, and the whole process of making up after that was just a fantasy in his mind.

If you want to say what really scared Lu You so much that he immediately jumped back a big step, the answer is not the knife, but the blunt sound of the assailant's forehead hitting the concrete floor.Lu You didn't even know how the man managed to keep his knees in the air when his head touched the ground—or rather, how Qi Zhengyun made him do it—but he only kept this twisted posture for less than a moment. Seconds later, the body leaned to one side, fell to the ground, and then curled up like a shrimp, letting out a hoarse and weak wail.

Lu You followed with an "uh".He opened his mouth slightly, not intending to look so stupid, but his brain was still struggling to reset from the shock-induced freeze.After raising his finger and pointing at the man who was twitching his hands and feet, he looked at the knife that fell on the ground, and then at Qi Zhengyun, who had a serious expression as if he was in some kind of ideological dilemma, and finally he could only choke out a single word: "he--?"

"He should be here for you." Qi Zhengyun said.After turning his gaze to Lu You, his brows frowned even tighter, as if Lu You had done something wrong, "Didn't I remind you just now? Why don't you know how to hide while standing?"

I thought you were saying be careful there is a car coming from behind... Lu You didn't dare to say that.Being questioned by Qi Zhengyun, he immediately forgot the question he wanted to ask why Qi Zhengyun was here, and almost subconsciously apologized.Fortunately, he paused before the words came out, and realized something was wrong, so he swallowed the apology, and was about to replace it with a thank you that should be said.

Qi Zhengyun turned his eyes back to the man on the ground. "Have you met him before?" He asked Lu You.In fact, Lu You had already recognized it from the clothes just now. The thin jacket on the attacker's body was torn wide, revealing the familiar rainforest printed T-shirt inside.But before he opened his mouth to answer, certain details touched his memory from a long time ago. He stared at the pale side face of the man with his eyes closed, half of his thoughts were thinking that Qi Zhengyun's blow just now was cruel enough, and the other half of his thoughts felt that that The side face is a bit familiar.

"Wait..." Lu You said slowly, "I seem to know this person..."

Before the end of this sentence, a drop of liquid fell on the man's clothes and slowly seeped into it.Lu You suddenly stopped talking, and he looked up along the path where the drop of liquid fell, and Qi Zhengyun followed suit later.The strength in his hand probably loosened a little because of this, and the assailant who was lying in pain and seemed to be near death rolled out of control at this moment, rolled and crawled out a few steps, quickly got up and ran.

Qi Zhengyun pretended to reach out his hand to stop him, and then let the man run away - he saw that the little black cat had gone around them from a little distance and followed them. It is a beautiful character such as repaying gratitude and rescuing.Lu You, on the other hand, didn't care about the running away person at all. He stepped forward and reached out to touch Qi Zhengyun's waist—a small piece of fabric on the T-shirt was clinging to his skin as if it had been soaked.

There was a slight fishy smell in the air.It was very subtle, and Lu You was not familiar with the smell of blood, so he might not be able to notice the difference.But if he touched it and found that what soaked his clothes was a transparent liquid, Qi Zhengyun didn't know how to explain it.

——Does it mean that when he is nervous, that small piece of skin likes to sweat?

He secretly cursed his own instinct of summoning seawater to help heal after a small injury—but when he snatched the knife with his tentacles, the blade got stuck in the gap between the scales, just like his finger was scratched by paper Small wounds!Before he could think of a better solution, Qi Zhengyun responded immediately: while quickly withdrawing the tentacles hidden under his clothes, which were originally prepared to adapt to the situation, he stretched out his hand and almost touched Lu You. The hands of his clothes were in his hands.
