Flame red

Mu Yu remembered that she had three support clubs, one husband group and one wife group. She didn't know when it appeared, but when she realized it, she found that her activities were given 360 times a year by these five fan groups. Five days of surveillance.

Hu Li said that she was the president of Mu Yu's support club.She thought about which support club it was for a long time.

At first, he thought that the other party was joking with him, but seeing that person's gentle and sincere smile, Mu Yu somehow felt that there was really no suspicious element in that sentence.

"Well, uh..." Not knowing how to answer, Mu Yu hesitated for a while and could only nod. "Thanks."

"I'm sorry, I said it so suddenly." Hu Li saw the astonishment in her heart, and apologized on her own initiative.

What she said made Mu Yu feel even more at a loss.He shook his head again and again. "I don't mean anything else, it's just a little accident."

Hu Li still just smiled, there was no stiffness in this smile.Mu Yu found that the prickly dimples on her smile were pretty, so he remembered a saying that was very popular recently - those who love to laugh will have good luck.

"When I decided to become an actor, many people warned me that this circle is bottomless, and countless people jump in and get deeper and deeper, and they no longer look like themselves." Hu Li sighed, But there was no sadness on his face, it seemed that he was just talking about a fact as plain as water.Then she turned her head to look at Mu Yu again. "But Mu Yu hasn't changed in any way. Even though he played so many roles and met so many people, after turning around and leaving, he is still the same you as before."

Mu Yu thought for a while, and replied, "Probably because I'm not deep enough into the drama."

"If you are not deeply involved in the play, why can you interpret characters with different backgrounds and personalities so well?"

"Hmm..." Mu Yu was at a loss for words, blinked and looked at the stone road in front of him that was dyed yellow by street lights.

Hu Li saw her embarrassment, so she stopped asking, smiled and said, "Okay, you need a good rest today, go back quickly."

Mu Yu heaved a sigh of relief, nodded, and then walked to the hotel side by side with her.

Hu Li likes to read books, and his interests are surprisingly similar to Mu Yu's, so the two chatted about music theory and sociology, and lamented the monotonous routines of popular TV dramas nowadays. , there are few eye-catching scripts.

"If there is a script with two heroines, I will definitely take it." Hu Li sighed suddenly.

"Okay, I'll take it too." Mu Yu subconsciously replied, and then added after a pause: "If the script is okay."

"Hahaha."

Mu Yu found that this woman knew how to measure her senses. Even if what she said occasionally surprised her, she always took the initiative to lead Mu Yu to a point where she could answer the conversation soon after.And when she had nothing to say, Hu Li would appropriately change the topic and never bring it up again.

People who know how to grasp the measure will not be too slow in mind, but they will not be too casual. It is even said that the more properly grasped, the more deliberately they may be.For Mu Yu, Hu Li had a miraculously precise grasp of the proportions of the conversation, which would not make people uncomfortable, but would not be too relaxed, delicately maintaining a balance that was difficult to ignore.

Mu Yu doesn't know how to describe it. Hu Li has many similarities with her in terms of interests and opinions. This is undoubtedly pleasant, but because he has never met similar people before, Mu Yu feels a little happy while But feel scared.

She doesn't like the feeling of being mastered and contained by others.

——I never thought that the psychological barrier would be so severe.

Mu Yu thought about this before returning to the room, and exchanged contact information with Hu Li.The other party repeatedly asked her to take a good rest, then turned and left.

When she returned to the room, she felt heavy eyelids when she lay on the bed. She probably had a high fever, and now she was tired.But Mu Yu still persisted and took out the phone from his handbag, looked at the time and turned it on hesitantly.

After shutting down the phone all day, I also accumulated a lot of various text messages.Mu Yu glanced at them one by one, and then deleted them.

As she expected, Yan Hong didn't get too entangled, but simply sent a message, just six words——

I don't need your money.

Clean and neat, it reminded Mu Yu of the tone of Yanhong's tone when she called her to go to the wake.

She stared at the text message and thought about how the child would live without the money she left behind.It's definitely not because of her integrity that Yan Hong would say this, and she doesn't have any integrity at this time. Speaking of which, since when did the child not use her money after living with Mu Yu?

Think about it, even the cost of buying papers for the exam is paid by Mu Yu.

What does this sentence mean?

Mu Yu was a little curious, but she also clearly warned herself not to contact Yan Hong out of curiosity, let alone make excuses such as whether she had eaten or not.

Before you find any clues about yourself, you must never get close to that child again.

She rubbed her eyes, then flipped through Weibo habitually.As a public figure, Mu Yu can't follow others casually, so in order to know about Yanhong, he casually bookmarked a public welfare announcement forwarded by the other party, and when he was bored, he used this bookmark to enter the other party's homepage.

When Mu Yu went in to look again today, he found that Yanhong had updated two Weibo posts in one day, without any text, and two photos, one was fish soup, and the other was vegetable egg pancake.Seems like the kid did it himself.

Someone below complained that Yanhong actually started posting about it.

"And this cake is still mushy." Mu Yu muttered with some disgust, and then was a little dazed.Like herself, Yanhong is not a person who likes to update the news, posting two photos of food in one day may not be because she wants to take revenge on the society.

She remembered that she asked Yan Hong to cook well before she left.

And after thinking of this, Mu Yu seemed to have a strange feeling, as if the child was lazily standing in front of him, pointing to the two dishes and saying that I had cooked well.

What a strange person.As Mu Yu thought about it, he felt his eyelids getting heavier, and when he finally closed his eyes slowly, he felt the phone slipped under the bed in a daze, and there was a muffled bang, like a child slapping a cashmere carpet.

Then what flowed through her consciousness like rain falling on the windowpane was a sentence without any cause and effect.

— Come on, the lights are out.

She recognized it was grandma's voice, she was neither anxious nor in a hurry, it was as flat and indifferent as boiled water.

It wasn't any very special words, it was probably talking about ordinary daily things, Mu Yu thought about it and didn't take it to heart, turned over and planned to pick up the phone and get ready to sleep.

But when she opened her eyes, she vaguely noticed that the room seemed a lot darker.Even though exhaustion persuaded Mu Yu that it was not a big deal, but rationality told her that she had turned on all the lights after she came back, it was so bright that it was dazzling, and she hadn't touched the switch since she lay on the bed.

It was because it was too dazzling when he came back, and the current darkness caused Mu Yu to hesitate instantly.While hesitating, she gradually woke up and blinked. There was no one else around the room, and the emptiness made her feel cold.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the chill, cat meows gradually sounded from outside the window.From far to near, there are more and more, louder and louder, and finally the hoarse sound seems to shatter the window glass.

Sharp and piercing, Mu Yu suddenly lost sleepiness and had a splitting headache.She sat up, but didn't know what to do, so she could only wait and see what happened, and half of her heart prayed that she could see those gray shadows like before.

"...That's why I hated cats when I was a child..." Mu Yu glanced at the time on his phone, muttering, it was just after midnight, which is not an auspicious time.

She sighed, belatedly humming.The sentence just now was more like an unconscious murmur than a conscious exclamation.Mu Yu has a vague impression that he hated cats when he was a child, but he has no memory of this incident, and he never cared about the cats and dogs that appeared around him when he grew up.

At most... At most, when I was in high school, I was invited to play at a classmate's house, met the kitten raised by the other party, and felt that the fur ball was quite comfortable to the touch.

Holding the phone, Mu Yu swiped Yanhong's phone number several times but gave up calling.When I exited the contact interface, I found that there was an extra text message.

After she opened it, she found that it was from Hu Li. She first interrupted politely, and then said that there was no shampoo in her room, and asked if she could borrow some from Mu Yu.

Looking around, the meowing outside the window made Mu Yu more and more nervous. It is always better to have more than one person at this time.She thought about it and replied.

When he put down his phone and waited, Mu Yu remembered the legend about cats meowing in the middle of the night, and now the cats gathered in the street and neighing like a **** saw the ghost on which person?She tried to distinguish carefully, but those meows were everywhere, floating around, and there was nowhere to find them.

After a few seconds, Mu Yu even found it unbelievable that these meows seemed to enter his mind and take root in his consciousness.

She frowned and rubbed the center of her brows when she heard the doorbell ring.

Mu Yu sighed, went to open the door, and saw Hu Li obediently standing outside.She just wanted to say that I'll get you shampoo, but the next second, the man pulled the door forcefully and pulled her out of the room.

He was taken aback, but at the same time Mu Yu suddenly noticed that the air outside the door was obviously warmer than inside the room.

She turned her head to look at Hu Li, who was staring blankly at the room, under the slender and soft eyelashes, there was a pair of transparent eyes like glass beads faintly shining.Mu Yu asked subconsciously: "Can you see it?"

Hu Li turned her head and smiled at her, and asked, "Can't you see?"

Mu Yu shook his head.Hu Li let out an oh, glanced at the room, then suddenly pulled her collar, and kissed Mu Yu's eyelids lightly.

Startled, Mu Yu broke free subconsciously, took a few steps back, and found that the man was still looking at him with a gentle smile as always, and pointed to the room.

She turned her head and found that the room was crowded with colorful cats at some point, with eyes shining like little lanterns, neighing at them hoarsely, ready to go, as if they wanted to rush out. But hesitated and anxiously lingered at the door.

Hu Li asked: "You used to hate cats, right?"

Mu Yu was stunned, the person said that, he was probably 100% sure in his heart, but why did he ask, maybe it was just to confirm whether she believed in him or not.

"That's right." Mu Yu nodded without denying it, and then suddenly saw clusters of black mist clinging to the feet of those cats like nothingness, covering the entire room, and the lights were dim.

And judging from their anxious walking, it seemed that they wanted to get out of the room, because there was a red lotus-like shadow on the ground in front of the door, which spread all the way to Hu Li's feet.

Probably because the shadow resisted the cats.

Mu Yu thought about it, and took two steps back vigilantly.Hu Li seemed to be aware of her alienation, and was not in a hurry, but lazily leaned against the wall of the corridor to look at the imprisoned cat in the room, and said: "Three days ago, all the monsters were staring at you, and three days later Now no one dares to approach easily."

"Why?" Mu Yu frowned, staring at Hu Li's calm and gentle face.She found that there was a trace of coldness in that plainness that didn't suit that person's appearance.

Hu Li said with a smile: "The one who is reborn in your body now is the guy who once led a party of evildoers."

Her words made Mu Yu a little confused. Yanhong said before that she might have swallowed something, but at most she thought it was something that could be decomposed and taken out like a stone fishbone.What Hu Li said, but there was a kind of affirmation in the words, which made Mu Yu feel that it might be himself who would fall apart in the end.

"You said... rebirth?" She asked in surprise.

Hu Li nodded, turned to look at the cats in the room, seemed to confirm that they would not break free casually, and then continued to explain to Mu Yu: "Although I don't know how that monster died, what is certain is that its The inner alchemy is placed in your body, and after recuperating and rejuvenating, it will be reborn with the help of your body."

— blah blah blah.

Mu Yu immediately threw out such a sentence in his heart, it's not some bloody TV series.It was only after meeting Yanhong that there were changes in the surroundings. If the so-called monster inner alchemy had always existed in his body, he should have noticed it a long time ago.

After meeting Yanhong.

"...Huh?" Mu Yu was startled, and then remembered that the so-called evildoers gradually began to appear around him, all during the time when he met Yan Hong.But then she shook her head again. "No, the exorcist kills demons and demons, but why are they helpless against the things that appear around me?"

Hu Li smiled, and looked at Mu Yu gently: "I said that three days ago, there might have been a lot of evildoers staring at them, but now there are very few who dare to approach. So, what do you think the cat in the room is? "

"..." Mu Yu didn't answer, but just stared at her.

So Hu Li shrugged his shoulders as if surrendering, and said: "These are not monsters at all, but the protection formed by the inner alchemy when it was preparing to be reborn. Not only mortals, but even monsters can't do anything about these things, and the exorcist Ability naturally can’t do anything.”

What happened to the red blood?Mu Yu asked heartily.Hu Li came to her room at the right time and talked nonsense, probably someone who has something to do with these things, and judging from her disdain for the exorcist just now, the person in front of her might not be an exorcist at all.

So what else could it be but the Exorcist?

Thinking of this, Mu Yu took another two steps back, counting the distance and preparing to turn around and run away.She stared at Hu Li's expressionless face, and then asked, "Then why are you able to trap the cat in the room?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a crackling sound in the room, and the shadow of the red lotus in front of the door suddenly spread out, waving around like vines.

Hu Li stood up straight. "Of course it's because..." She turned her head suddenly, stretched out her hand to grab it, and pinched a cat that rushed out, and then the cat turned into a dark blue flame between her fingers. Disappeared into ashes.

The lights in the corridor flickered dimly, and the man's expression became more serious because of this.Hu Li turned her head, her eyes like glass balls were full of light, and the corner of her mouth curled into a weird smile: "Because I am stronger."

Neighing cats poured out of the room like a tide, just like that day when Mu Yu was chasing Yan Hong, immediately drowning Hu Li.

Without any hesitation, Mu Yu turned around and rushed towards the stairs.
