Born in the dark, Ended in the dawn

The car was speeding on the empty national highway, completely ignoring the traffic laws and driving all the way. Wei Lan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, moved his buttocks to make himself more comfortable. He just wanted to take the opportunity to squat for a while when he accidentally saw the side of the road wandering around one person.

In normal times, he probably wouldn't care so much, he just thought it was someone who was determined to die and wandered around here, but today is different, since there is a precedent, he can't just ignore it, "Brother Xiao! Stop ahead. "

She slammed on the brakes. If she hadn't obediently fastened her seat belt, Wei Lan would have suspected that she would fly out of the windshield. She rubbed her sore shoulder, and Wei Lan cheerfully teased the indifferent culprit, Xiao Zixian, " Your wild driving skills really don't match your temperament."

Wild...why do you suddenly feel that this word is so ambiguous?Wei Lan inexplicably recalled that sleepy night, and couldn't help doubting Xiao Zixian's temperament, because Xiao Zixian was so wild that night that he couldn't bear it. With an unbearably sore body, I have sighed countless times about the greatness and inconceivability of the power of life—thank God, I am still alive.

Now is not a good time to think wildly. He patted his cheek and jumped out of the car. Wei Lan cautiously approached the slow-walking man. He was very impressed with that scruffy face. It was the one who made trouble in the corridor when he visited Gu Shaohan not long ago. that guy.

It was that nasty smell again, Wei Lan waved his palm to disperse the smell, "Uncle, are you okay?"

There was no response, and the man's dull eyes stared straight ahead. The edge of the iris was no longer a smooth circle, and the boundary was somewhat blurred, as if the process of turbidity had stopped suddenly.Wei Lan stretched out his hand, and shook it less than ten centimeters away from the man's eyes. The man not only ignored him, but even walked towards Wei Lan's palm without stopping.

No matter whether he was pulling or shouting, the man walked forward without stopping, completely ignoring Wei Lan's existence. He was pulled and fell, but he just got up and continued walking, his limbs were as stiff as a puppet.

Suddenly, the man's raised leg was retracted again, and finally he changed his mode of action a little, but it was not Wei Lan who was trying to create obstacles, but Xiao Zixian who got out of the car to stop him.

"Isn't it? He didn't pay any attention to me when I made such a fuss, and you caught his attention when you got off the car? Am I so invisible?" Wei Lan observed the man's movements curiously, and found that the man completely ignored him. Noticing his presence, he turned slightly, and walked towards Xiao Zixian again, with his mouth slightly opened, making a strange sound of 'hehehehe'.

Xiao Zixian walked around to the green belt from the back of the car, and the strange man also walked around slowly.Xiao Zixian broke off a dead branch casually, pulled the man's arm, and stabbed it down without thinking.

The branch was pulled out, and the blue skin with the hole didn't flow out a drop of blood, "It's also a dead person, I don't have time to deal with him, let's tie him to a tree."

There aren't many spare ropes in the trunk, and if you encounter this thing along the way, it won't be enough to tie it up.Xiao Zixian figured it out, and decided to push the rope away. After the three-strand rope is pushed away, it can be divided into three pieces. This should be enough. These guys don't seem to have the IQ to untie the rope by themselves, as long as they are fixed a little...

"Be careful!" With an exclamation, Wei Lan pounced on the man, or that zombie, knocking him down hard to the ground and suppressing him.Dirty and blackened nails almost grabbed Xiao Zixian's neck, everything happened so suddenly, Wei Lan's head was in a mess.

What happened just now?The wobbly guy froze for a while beside Xiao Zixian, then suddenly stretched out his claws and opened his mouth, assuming an attacking posture, very much like those cannibalistic zombies in movies.But at this time, this thing was suppressed by him and still did not give up, struggling to crawl to the place where Xiao Zixian was, his fingers scratching the asphalt ground until it was bloody.

Wei Lan raised his head, stared blankly at Xiao Zixian who had untied the rope, and came to an unbelievable conclusion in his heart, "It seems to ignore me and only attack you? Let me tie it up."

After taking the rope, Wei Lan skillfully tied the zombie man to a relatively small tree. As expected, the guy would only open his mouth and bite at Xiao Zixian, ignoring the fact that he was tied up. Rope, "Leave it like this, it should be fine."

"I stabbed it, maybe it will respond to the injury." Sitting back in the car and continuing on the road, Xiao Zixian was also curious about the reaction of the zombie man. Before hurting that thing, it had already been given 'special attention'.

"He actually ignored me completely. This feeling is very subtle. It made me suspect that I might be of the same kind as them, haha." The neck was suddenly pulled over, the eyes darkened, and after a tingling pain came from the lips, the shadow receded again , Wei Lan stared blankly at Xiao Zixian who was sitting back as if nothing had happened, but hadn't realized what happened.

"This joke is not funny." Xiao Zixian's voice was so low that he could clearly feel displeasure.

For a while, the atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward. It was inappropriate to say anything, and it was even more awkward not to speak. When Wei Lan didn't know how to ease it, the ringtone of the mobile phone echoed in the car like the sound of nature. Zheng Kai's name was displayed on the On the screen, "Find it?"

"Gu Shaohan exists, but he is definitely not the person he is now."

Sensing some hesitation in Zheng Kai's tone, Wei Lan asked, "What do you mean? What problem did you find?"

Zheng Kai opened the content displayed on the computer, took a screenshot and sent it to Xiao Zixian's WeChat, "I just sent the screenshot to Team Xiao's WeChat, take a look. Gu Shaohan was the first person I found through the ID card search." , is a student of the University of Fine Arts, with thick eyebrows and a square face. During a tourism gathering activity organized by the fourth-year university, he accidentally fell off a cliff and died while shooting a scene, and his bones have never been found."

There are oral records of Gu Shaohan's death from relatives and friends, but there is no death certificate, nor is the ID card cancelled. Ten years later, it was reissued on the grounds of loss. At that time, Gu Shaohan's identity was replaced by Jiu Zhan Magpie's Nest After that, Gu Shaohan became another person, and it was difficult for Wei Lan to recognize that photo.

"This Lu Jing actually used two identities. He took great pains to hide his whereabouts. I thought he would hide or escape to a remote place, but I didn't expect to live comfortably by my side."

"I'm sure, Lu Jing is the current Gu Shaohan." Zheng Kai said excitedly, "In this way, Gu Shaohan's strangeness can also be explained. His goal is also the mayor's family, right?"

"That's right, it's just..." Wei Lan looked at the fake Gu Shaohan's ID photo on his phone, and was troubled by another unbelievable question.

"The group photo in front of the construction site was taken 12 years ago, right? This ID photo was also 12 years ago. These two photos look similar. Lu Jing should be in his thirties at that time, but now he should be in his thirties 12 years later. He's in his 40s, but... don't you think he hasn't changed at all?"

This really caught Zheng Kai's question, he had never seen the current Gu Shaohan, and when he was asked this suddenly, he didn't know how to answer, "Didn't everyone say that doctors can take care of themselves?"

Wei Lan just smiled, did not correct Zheng Kai's misunderstanding, and hung up the phone after saying something hard.

People who live younger and live longer do exist, but Lu Jing's situation is obviously not the type that has the mood to take care of himself. He only thinks about how to get revenge all day long, and it would be good if he doesn't become more vicissitudes.It's kind of scary when I think about it.

"Ah...a fox is a fox. I was really deceived by him. I can't guard against it! He told me the truth with a face of sincerity, and what he said seemed to be the truth. His existence itself is a big lie after a long time. .”

"So it's even more difficult to judge whether what he said is true or false." Xiao Zixian frowned helplessly and stopped the car, and found a mentally abnormal person wandering in the middle of the road. It's not enough, "Since he can survive with two identities, it doesn't seem unusual to have one more. When was the note to Hu Zhe written?"

The topic jumped too fast, Wei Lan couldn't keep up with Xiao Zixian's train of thought for a while, and was talking about Lu Jing's identity, why did he suddenly get involved in a note?

Before alarming the tourist, Xiao Zixian suddenly launched an attack and pulled the slow-moving woman to the side of the road. Looking around, the ground was bare of bricks and tiles, not even half a tree, only a few collapsed abandoned houses , the wooden door frame was crumbling, "Help me tie her to the door frame."

"Okay." Wei Lan led the woman with her hands tied behind her back to the abandoned house like walking a dog.Sure enough, the woman was like that guy just now, completely ignoring her own existence, and kept moving in Xiao Zixian's direction step by step, "What are they doing? Seeing that you are more handsome than me? You say these guys Will it bite like in the movie?"

The woman's face is exquisite and beautiful. Except for her dull eyes and pale skin, she is a great beauty, far from those rotten zombies. "This seems to be an actress, right? It looks familiar. I left such a beautiful woman here alone." , I always feel bad? What if a hooligan comes..."

"That's just a dead person, let's go, hurry up."

After tying up the rope, Wei Lan returned to the car obediently, still looking at her with some uneasiness, even if she was a dead person, she was still a pretty girl after all, how pitiful this lonely person in the wilderness was tied there, how pitiful she looked .

"Take her with you if you feel distressed."

no no no!This is definitely a joke. Although he can't bear it, he still doesn't plan to share a closed space with a moving corpse. "It's still not possible. What happened to the note you said to Hu Zhe?"

Xiao Zixian laughed secretly in his heart, when did this stubborn guy learn to change the subject? "You have already conducted a comprehensive survey of NC. At that time, no note was found. Why did you only find it later?"

"I've also thought about this issue." It's not uncommon for a place that has been sealed off to be invaded, so Wei Lan is not overly sensitive about it, and has also considered that the intruder may come from one of the three residents middle.

"From the check-in records, it can be judged that Zhou Yubin was the only one who kept in touch with Hu Zhe, and the contact method was very cautious. I'm afraid it will not be easy for Hu Zhe to find Zhou Yubin. The news of Zhou Yubin's death was blocked by us, and Hu Zhe didn't know about it. If you can’t get in touch for a long time, Hu Zhe will probably try to find someone in the NC suite.”

"Knowing that Hu Zhe has been targeted by the police, he must act cautiously, and will not trust any message from any source other than Zhou Yubin. Even if he knows that the other party intends to kill him, he still holds a glimmer of hope to seek help based on the note suspected to be left by Zhou Yubin. so……"

Xiao Zixian paused for a while, and managed to draw Wei Lan's gaze to himself, before slowly saying, "The note was written by Lu Jing imitating Zhou Yubin's handwriting, just to lure Hu Zhe to Meijiang Nursing Home."

"What's the purpose?" Wei Lan leaned back on the comfortable chair and stretched comfortably, "Is it control or negotiation?"
