Flame red

Before leaving, the exorcist handed her a small indigo blue jade knife that was polished to a bright shine, and repeatedly told her that it was priceless, so please don't lose it, but you can drop it casually, anyway, it is very strong.Moreover, this jade knife without any carvings can also make the blood exorcism stronger. Jian Xiangli didn't elaborate on how to use it.

But in general, it means to let Yanhong bleed a lot.

As for the issue of fees, the other party said that the fees are generally considered after the incidents are resolved.So don't be too eager to bargain.From Yanhong's point of view, this statement is clearly for the purpose of making people feel embarrassed to bargain at the end, and it can even justifiably open their mouths.

"Call me if you have anything to do." Jian Xiangli said as he wrote down a string of phone numbers in her palm.

That day in the government office, Yu Le really bought a lot of records, and it is said that he also bought a set of soundtracks of a certain movie.Yanhong didn't know much about this aspect, and didn't pay much attention to it.

It is true that the national government is more prosperous and lively than Wuzhi, and the prices and store decorations along the way are beyond the reach of small cities. For children from rich families like Yule, a small deviation is nothing to worry about Those who pay too much attention to this and sigh and sigh are the people who are as poor as Yanhong.

Fame, fortune, and money seem to be nothing more than bargaining chips that are tirelessly handed over to everyone in human society. After death, they become two sentences engraved on a stone tablet, and then they live again under intermittent sacrifices.Only secrets can be brought into the underworld.

When Yan Hong seriously entered the phone number in her hand into the phone address book, Yu Le joked that she met a boy so quickly.

Regardless of what she said, there was nothing wrong with her saying that.

"Business." But Yanhong still explained it like this later, but when the other party shook his head and listened to the music on his mobile phone, he said it but was ignored.

By the time they got home, the day had just ended.The Zhu Dan-colored sunset was shrouded in the thick smoke of the factory on the outskirts of Wuzhi City, and now it looked inexplicably like the eyes of a wild beast.Yan Hong raised her head and glanced twice, then felt her retinas ache from the twilight rays, a big crow gliding across the street like lightning.

After the beginning of the end of September, the news that the second season of "Rainy Day" has been completed has spread all over the sky.

When Yan Hong casually returned to the classroom from the corridor of the teaching building with her chemistry homework book in hand, she saw a large promotional poster stuck on the blackboard at the back of the classroom. It seems that it is indeed the TV series that became a mess.And in the green that is obvious and different from the gray layout in the classroom, Mu Yu's cool and beautiful side face is looking at the sky at 45 degrees, and what falls on the corner of his eyes is not known whether it is tears or pure rain.

Yanhong sighed silently, knowing that it was the promotional poster for the second season of the TV series.During this period of time, she often saw this picture appearing in various magazines when she went to the newsstand because she wanted to help the snake lady share the TV bill.

About two weeks have passed since I met Mu Yu for the first time in mid-September, and then contacted the exorcist. During this period, Jian Xiangli called a few times and asked Yanhong to pay attention to Mu Yu's situation. It would be best if he could contact the deity. But that's all.

Regarding the situation of the big star, the snake woman simply said a word to Yan Hong - "Mu Yu's character is sharp and angular, and he is not likable."

However, there are overwhelming praises about Mu Yu's carefulness and gentleness on the Internet, subtly related to Jian Xiangli's previous question - is Mu Yu lucky?

As for what happened in the toilet, it was adapted by Yu Le into an inspirational story of an ordinary girl who met her dream object under the blessing of fate, and worked hard after being gently encouraged.The first part is correct, but the latter part is too self-delusional, and with a little modification, it can become a dream-chasing novel most loved by contemporary teenagers.

Later, this incident became more and more exaggerated. After being icing on the cake without any sense of propriety, it became a forum legend that swept the whole school during that time.

But today when he returned to the classroom from the toilet, Yu Le complained to Yan Hong sullenly that the legendary protagonist no longer looked like him.

Nothing bad is it?Yan Hong comforted her like this.I'm telling the truth.

"Although that's true..." Yu Le frowned and sighed. "But I just want to dampen Yang Bai's arrogance a little..."

The Yang Bai she mentioned refers to the girl sitting in front of Yanhong. Her long hair was highlighted red and permed into Korean curly hair which is very popular among young people. There are more cosmetics and books in the drawer than textbooks. sunscreen.The two tallest commercial buildings in Wuzhi City belong to her family. They are not short of money and fame, and they even squeezed into the top five in the school belle competition.

The relationship between Yu Le and Yang Bai isn't too bad, and it won't be too good, and sometimes they argue over some boring things.For example, when I was doing a group report a few days ago, for example, when I was warming up for physical education class.The former was because they all rushed to write the report, while the latter quarreled over a tree shade.Of course, in the end, Yan Hong wrote the report, and the shade of the tree was monopolized by the physical education teacher.

So today's rich kids lack nothing but someone to find fault with.

"..." Yan Hong tilted her head and took a peek at Yang Bai, who was talking to a group of girls, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Yu Le, who was sluggish at the side.

"Mu Yu will come to Wuzhi's central square next Friday to hold a personal autograph session, do you want to go?" Yang Bai asked.

Yu Le looked back at her and nodded without hesitation. "Of course I will."

"I can get the guest ticket and don't need to line up. Together?"

"Huh? Why?" Yu Le's reason was not out of anger, but simply surprised that Yang Bai had the right not to queue up.

Yan Hong reminded her. "Because that central square belongs to Yang Bai's family..."

Yang Bai nodded, but he didn't look at Yan Hong, his face was innocent enough to be taken for granted. "So you want to go together?"

Yu Le opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then paused for two seconds, wrapped Yan Hong in his arms, and smiled innocently. "I'll go with Yanhong." She answered like this.

"what?"

"Ok?"

Both Yan Hong and Yang Bai were stunned.The young lady who was ironing the Korean-style pear roll finally cast a formal glance at Yan Hong, but there was no surprise or embarrassment in her eyes, and the pure and impurity-free arrogance made people feel a little rare.

Yu Le looked down at Yanhong. "are you going?"

- not to go.

Normally, Yan Hong would have said that without hesitation, but this time she nodded for the first time. "go."

Yang Bai raised his very neatly trimmed thin eyebrows. "Does Yanhong want to be together?"

"..."

"......What?"

I guess I heard it wrong.Yanhong couldn't react for a moment. Since the beginning of school, Yang Bai would basically not invite her to do anything except say a few words to Yanhong when giving a report.

"If Yan Hong goes with her, then Yu Le will also come, right?" Indeed, this subtle sense of carrying is also a characteristic of rich kids.

Yan Hong raised her head to look at Yu Le, and Yu Le was just like sleeping on the grass looking at the night sky back then, the expression on his face made her feel unpredictable.

"Okay." After weighing the pros and cons, Yan Hong nodded and agreed.

Yu Le slowly turned his eyes back to Yan Hong, then suddenly tightened his arms, strangled her neck, and cursed bitterly. "Yanhong, can you have some ambition! Don't post it just because you can avoid queuing and save trouble?"

"Hmm! Although, I don't understand the situation, but let go first..." Pulling Yu Le's hand away forcefully, Yan Hong touched her neck, and then looked at her innocently. "Yu Le, if you want to line up then..."

After waving his hand to interrupt Yan Hong's words, Yu Le retreated to his chair. "You promised others, so be it."

"..."

——That's why it's really hard to understand the thoughts of the rich kids.

The matter was settled.In the end, Yang Bai smiled at Yu Le with satisfaction. He was obviously just a child, but he could laugh at the seductiveness of mature women in TV dramas.Probably because today's makeup is too heavy.

According to Jian Xiangli, it is best for the parties involved to have a little awareness that they may be in danger anytime and anywhere, and then take action afterwards to avoid more troubles.

However, it is not a simple matter for Mu Yu to understand the current situation.

As a popular actor and star, she will naturally be surrounded by various staff and bodyguards, and it is difficult for others to find opportunities to make use of it.Moreover, the busyness of work is almost impossible for her to notice ordinary people like Yanhong.If you use the phone number of Snake Woman to call, how can you explain Yanhong's relationship with Snake Woman?

The snake lady said that she usually would not contact Mu Yu, because she never knew if the person on the other end of the phone was still working. It caused a lot of trouble, even if Mu Yu didn't tell her, she would feel guilty.

Yanhong decided to respect the principle of the snake lady, since the old man hoped not to disturb Mu Yu, let Mu Yu take the initiative to call the snake lady.

On the day when the autograph session was held, Yan Hong followed Yu Le and boarded the bus to the central square at the bus station early.What is different from the past is that in the past, the old people carrying vegetable baskets should be sitting scattered in the car, but now they are all full of young people, carrying large and small bags of gifts, and chattering all the way is comparable to a spring outing. .

It seemed that they were all fans who were going to the autograph session, and they chatted like old friends at the first sight, repeating a few jokes from the TV series and admiring Mu Yu.Yan Hong, who didn't belong to this circle originally, naturally couldn't get into the topic, and watched Yu Le mingling with those people dryly, chatting happily.

The more noisy people surround you, the more it seems that your heart is too quiet.Occasionally, when someone approached Yanhong to talk to her, she tried her best to recall things about Mu Yu, but in the end she could only laugh a few times in embarrassment and shook her head.

Last time Yu Le bought a lot of Mu Yu's recent albums at the Guofu, and picked two of his favorites to take with him for autographs.Recently, she was taking it out of her backpack to share the tracks of the album with the fans in the car, which attracted all kinds of envy and exclamation. It seems that the young lady is making a rare high-profile this time.

Yan Hong looked at Yu Le's side face with a sunny smile from behind, and then sighed helplessly.If she found out whose phone number she was holding in her hand, she would probably die of jealousy.

The embarrassing and lively atmosphere continued until the bus arrived. At the intersection of the central square, young people swarmed down, and then walked along the street, facing the morning light, towards the square building with Muyu posters on the dark green glass wall .

Mu Yu's signing place is in a newly opened bookstore in the building.

The hall on the first floor has already been crowded with hundreds of young people, and the tall rest hall has been squeezed into a Spring Festival travel train station.Moreover, more and more people flocked from outside the gate, holding towels and posters in their hands, unable to hide their excitement and agitation, and at the same time, the staff who maintained order were exhausted.

I don't know if Mu Yu, who is waiting for the opening scene, sees so many people coming for him, is it painful and happy?

Anyway, Yan Hong must not be happy in her heart.

Even though the air conditioner had been turned on early in the hall, the coolness inside was still disturbed by the smell of sweat and various perfumes, making the state of closeness even more suffocating and dull.

Coupled with the black mist all over the room, the scene should not be too shocking.

Fans crowded the lobby waiting for the staff to announce the start of the autograph session, ready to rush up the stairs to the second floor.The ground was crowded with people, but the ceiling was filled with black mist like dark clouds overwhelming the city.

Yanhong struggled to find a comfortable position in the crowd, and at the same time coughed a few times uncomfortably. Compared with the smell of sweat and perfume, the strong smell of blood mixed in now made her feel more sick.

It seems that what I saw on TV and what I met in the toilet was just the tip of the iceberg, and the real situation was more serious than imagined.

Afterwards, turning her head and looking around, Yan Hong discovered a more serious problem - she seemed, she should, have separated from Yu Le.If we were to look for Yang Bai now, we would be worried about the lost Yu Le. Although the young lady's ability was not enough to lose her way and encounter danger in such a crowd, it was really not right to leave her friends behind and just seek pleasure by herself. It should be Yanhong's work.

Sighing, she took out her mobile phone to make a call to Yu Le, but suddenly she heard the lobby announcement ringing, announcing the start of the autograph session.Suddenly, deafening screams and cheers rang out from all around, causing her to shrink her shoulders and block her ears.

The crowd began to squeeze in one direction, as if that was the stairs.And Yan Hong was also pushed forward by the people behind in a daze, probably because of her petite body, she was pushed up the stairs with a dazed expression.

The people behind were still scrambling to be the first, Yan Hong glanced back, was terrified by the menacing approach of the young people, immediately put away her mobile phone, followed the people in front and ran up to the second floor.

Because it is just the beginning, there are still relatively few people on the second floor. A temporary channel for queuing has already been built with yellow wooden boards between the aisles. People are trotting towards the direction of the bookstore, as if they are going around in a rushing stream. petals.The staff maintained order on the scene in an orderly manner, and kept shouting for safety.

And in this flow of people, Yanhong probably belongs to the one with a relatively fresh style of painting.Along the way, he jumped up and down as if he was avoiding something, frequently attracting puzzled looks from others.

And she was indeed avoiding something.

If the first floor is a sea of ​​people filled with the smell of sweat and perfume, then the second floor is full of monsters rampant with the smell of blood.The ground, walls, and ceiling are covered with black shadows of various shapes, big or small, with green eyes twinkling, exactly the same as the thing in the school toilet.

For the time being, Yanhong still can't see what those black shadows are, they are just crouching around everywhere as irregular shadows, and it even makes people doubt whether there is any entity.

There are still many ghosts lingering around the black shadow, as if attracted by something, they are walking in one direction, and that direction naturally does not need to be explained, it is the bookstore where Mu Yu is.

The person behind gave Yanhong a push, and she stepped into the black shadow in front of her, and it really felt soft to the touch, like a cotton puppet.But the black shadow was just frightened, and slid to the side in a flash, looking at Yanhong vigilantly with green eyes, it didn't dissipate, and it didn't "die" in any sense.

When they came to the door of the bookstore, they had already started queuing up, and there were quite a few people in front of them. They walked around the passage twice before arriving at Yanhong.

Both sides of the bookstore are decorated with green ivy, and a wooden plaque is written with two characters that Yan Hong doesn't know in strong cursive.At the entrance of the store, there is a poster of Mu Yu's album, which is simple and artistic, which is also in line with the aesthetics of contemporary teenagers.

It's just that the black shadows piled up on the floor and walls seem to have undergone new changes.

Yanhong found that the originally irregular black shadows had begun to uniformly take on the shape of a long loaf of bread, and many individuals were trying to curl up and prop up their upper bodies, looking forward to the store, like believers on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.But the picture in front of her didn't have any sanctity or artistry at all, and it even made her feel that she shouldn't use the pilgrimage to Jerusalem as a metaphor at all.

——Why did those shadows unify their own forms?Does it have other meanings for monsters?

She frowned and thought, the screams and cheers of fans kept coming from inside the bookstore, probably because she couldn't hide her excitement after meeting her idol.

After waiting for a while, the line behind her could not see the end. Finally, at the door of the bookstore, Yan Hong was asked step by step by a staff member if she wanted a signature board. It was said that it was provided for free, so she respectfully obeyed and asked for one. , into the bookstore.

There are various popular novels on the bookshelves in the store, and the smell of paper covers part of the bloody smell. Mu Yu is sitting in the middle of the bookshelf, wearing a floral short skirt, and his long legs can't be seen even if they are huddled under the wooden table. Unable to hide the perfect arc, long hair tied into a ponytail, and chiseled facial features, he just smiled and signed an autograph for the last fan and responded to the other's longing and support.

Yanhong took out an oil-based pen from her pocket and wrote on the signature board. When she walked to the wooden table, she just finished writing, closed the pen cap, looked up and saw that Mu Yu was also looking at her signature board curiously.

Then her face turned blue suddenly, she couldn't hold back her trembling, and took two steps back.

Seemingly taken aback, Mu Yu touched his face subconsciously, then looked at Yan Hong suspiciously. "Why back off?"

"No, I'm sorry..." After hesitating for a moment, Yan Hong resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and moved back to the wooden table.But his eyes kept flickering between Mu Yu and the bookshelf behind her.

Mu Yu turned his head and took a look, the doubts on his face became more serious.But in order not to waste time, she still kindly reminded her. "That, the board."

"Ah." After she said this, Yan Hong came back to her senses and handed out the signature pad in her hand, but her body leaned back as much as possible as if she was avoiding something, letting the big star and the surrounding The staff are totally clueless.

Mu Yu turned his head to look back again, and sighed helplessly. "I won't eat you again..." Then he looked down at the signature board, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and his eyes became cold in an instant.

Yan Hong obviously didn't care about the change in her gaze, she kept glancing at the bookshelf in front of her.

"What are you looking at? Did something happen to someone?" Mu Yu lowered his voice and asked Yan Hong.

But the other party did not answer.

If Mu Yu could see the things on the bookshelf, maybe he wouldn't be sitting calmly in his place with a puzzled expression on his face.Yan Hong originally thought that the things inside at most were just the long black shadows seen at the entrance of the bookstore, but just when she raised her head, she suddenly saw the fat centipede hovering on the bookshelf behind Mu Yu, like a swollen Hanging there like a balloon, the small mouth with jagged teeth looks very insignificant against the background of the fat body, and the green eyeballs are all over the small head that is out of place with the body, greedily leaning on the white neck of the big star Writhing around constantly.

When she saw it, she almost fell to the ground, intentionally or unintentionally ignoring Mu Yu's questioning in a low voice, and finally, under the urging of the staff, she took away the board that the big star hadn't signed yet and ran away. escape.

"and many more!"

Mu Yu's shout came from behind, but Yan Hong didn't stop, took out the speed of sprinting in physical education class all the way down the stairs like a whirlwind, and squeezed into the crowd.

Fuck blah blah blah blah.

She was wailing in her heart, but her head was completely filled by that big centipede, and the long black shadows she saw before seemed more and more like centipede shadows for no reason.

Yanhong squeezed out of the central square all the way, and then ran to the bus station.Just in time for a return bus, she jumped on it, ran to the back seat and sat down, turned her head and glanced at the street, and found a few people in black work clothes walking around in the crowd Looking for something, Yanhong recognized the staff next to Mu Yu.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she looked down at the signature board in her hand, there was a string of numbers written on it, and Mu Yu didn't sign on it, it's a pity that a good board was wasted like this.And that string of numbers is the last six digits of Snake Woman's phone number, because it looks a bit like pi when recited, Yan Hong is very impressed.

Naturally, it's not unreasonable for Mu Yu to become nervous immediately after seeing this string of numbers in the hands of a strange girl. In addition, Yan Hongfeng will run away without a trace. Maybe he will call soon to ask what happened to the snake lady something happened.

——The above is Yan Hong's guess.As for the feasibility, she didn't calculate it.

Now she even wants to call Jian Xiangli and talk about what she saw today.But as soon as he picked up the phone, he found that Yu Le's missed call had almost maliciously swiped the screen.There are twelve in total, and the intervals are all 3 minutes. Yan Hong didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, and hurriedly called back.

After two rings, it was connected there.

"Where did you die, Yanhong?! We're already in front of the bookstore!" Yu Le threw out a sentence like this.

Yanhong was mentally prepared, but she was still taken aback, so she had no choice but to explain. "I was squeezed into it just now, and now I'm on the bus after signing, and I have to go back as soon as I have something at home."

"...Oh, be careful then."

Yu Le didn't say much, and hung up the phone in a hurry, probably because it was his turn soon.

After Yanhong hung up the phone, she immediately found Jian Xiangli's number and dialed it.
