In the next week, not only those cities, but the shadow of this extremely high death rate has spread to all parts of the country.When the national statistics came out, the executives were dumbfounded, because the national average daily death rate was four times that of normal circumstances!The data alarmed police departments across the country, prompting officers to launch investigations.But like the police station where Liu Di worked, none of them could figure out why.Because each death case can be said to have nothing to do with each other: all kinds of accidental love killings, vendettas, suicides, plus different medical accidents and traffic accidents.

Is it true that the death rate will be higher during this period, and then decrease?Maybe after this period of time, the death rate will drop again, and eventually remain at the same level as in previous years.It must be so, and everyone comforts themselves like this.

Even the news media were afraid to report the incident for fear of causing panic.Maybe it's just a coincidence, and it will be fine after a while.What's more, the government dare not report it until the reason is found, for fear of being questioned by the public and reducing its credibility.

But there are no impenetrable walls.The public already knew a thing or two, through various channels - the looks of police friends and mysterious narrations, the secret shock of doctor friends, and word of mouth of all kinds.

As a result, cities across the country were soon covered by invisible dark clouds, even on sunny days when the sun was shining brightly.

Parents no longer rest assured that their children will go out and wander around when they have nothing to do, and ground them at home one after another.The business of various commercial streets and shopping plazas has also cooled down, and the country's economic growth has been so slow that it has never been seen before.

Government officials have been so worried that they couldn't sleep well all day and night, and even ordered the news media to refute the rumors, and severely punish those who leaked information on public platforms.

But this cannot stop people's growing vigilance.As long as there are no special circumstances, everyone should stay at home very vigilantly, and take care of the elderly and children.Although I heard that there is no obvious age group distinction among those zero deaths——after all, the elderly and children are vulnerable groups.

However, this still failed to stop the rising death rate.And, it seems to be worse.

Because no matter how fearful people are, they cannot stop working and living; and as soon as they continue to live, they will face various potential accidents.Although no one thinks that accidents will really happen to them, everyone knows in their hearts that accidents will always happen to someone.

The death toll is still horrifying.

If the number of deaths continues to follow this trend, everyone is worried that this year, China's population will enter negative growth and there will be a serious shortage of labor.

The pressure on the police is mounting.No matter how they searched, they couldn't find anything in common with these deaths.They originally thought that people with genetic diseases might be affected by this year's special magnetic field and would be prone to physical problems, but as time passed, these dead people became healthier, which made them confused.

Moreover, these death methods are various, and it does not look like there is a special organization behind the scenes.So they're under more and more pressure—because they really don't know how to solve a case that might not even be a case at all.

Under his father's strong request, Liu Yichi was also grounded at home by default.

"Dad, don't you think that in this period of time, it's a blessing or a curse?" Liu Yichi sighed looking at the bright sunshine outside the window. May in L City has always been neither too hot nor too hot, and the sun is just right. It stands to reason that everyone would happily play outside at this time in previous years.But who would have thought that something like this happened this year, which made everyone panic, let alone ask to play.

Liu Di resolutely shook his head: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

"But if something happened, it would have happened on the way to and from school, wouldn't it?"

Liu Di was speechless, glared at his daughter with a very displeased look, and continued to read the newspaper by the sofa.After police investigations across the country failed, the police station in City L took the lead in abandoning the investigation.After all, how can small places investigate things that the central government has not investigated?

Liu Yichi shrugged, and could only continue reading in his hut.Forget it, anyway, after I go out, my dad must be so worried that he can't sleep or eat, so I won't make trouble.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang.Looking at the caller ID, it was Mourning.Is my perverted old lady restless and causing trouble?

She answered the phone with a look of disgust.

"What's the matter?" But at the same time, she clearly heard crying on the other end of the phone.And that cry was clearly Mourning's.

Liu Yichi froze in bewilderment.

The other end of the phone said intermittently: "She, she... is dead."

"Who?" Liu Yichi suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

"Yingying..."

Liu Yichi was confused: "Yingying?"

"It's my girlfriend."

"You changed your girlfriend again?" Liu Yichi looked at the calendar on the bookshelf, it was only over a month ago.

"No, it's always been her."

"'The world doesn't know the king'?" Liu Yichi asked tentatively.

"Don't say this name again," Mourning cried more and more fiercely, "It will never happen again."

For a moment, Liu Yichi felt as if someone had hit his head hard with a club, his head was spinning, and he just wanted to fall on the bed.

"When?"

"I haven't been able to contact her since yesterday. As a result, I saw the trending searches on Weibo today..."

"What?" Liu Yichi immediately opened Weibo on his laptop.Sure enough, the fifth place in the hot search is "The world does not know the king's death [candle]".

She gasped.

"Why did you say she committed suicide? She is such a lovely and sunny girl, how could she..."

"What? Suicide?" Liu Yichi watched the news nervously while listening to Mourning's crying.

Doubt that escalating cyber violence led to her suicide?She felt incredible.In this extraordinary period, will there be neuropathy to bully a columnist you read more vigorously?Looking further down, she saw an important message.

At present, the police found a series of private messages with extreme insults on the Weibo account of "The World Doesn't Know You".

Things just got weirder.

Liu Yichi quickly closed the computer and continued to listen to Mourning.

"Tell me, is it my fault?"

"Huh?" Liu Yichi realized that he didn't seem to pay much attention just now, and missed something.

"She told me a few days ago that she felt very uncomfortable, and why people on the Internet wanted to violence her. Then I told her, you must relax, and I am still there. At that time, I didn't think much about it. Taking things seriously, thinking that she is like me, even if she comes out with a '', she can laugh it off."

"Do you think everyone is like you, with a thicker skin than a gun?" Liu Yichi was almost pissed off by his unreliable cousin.

"But I have also listened to her talk, and I am also talking with her..."

Liu Yichi felt a pain in the head, and said helplessly: "Well, I don't know what happened at that time, and I can't judge whether you are at fault. However, what is certain is that the culprit is not you at all, don't you So guilty."

"Is it really not me?"

"The source lies in the excessive violence on the Internet. I saw some screenshots released by the police just now, alas, even I can't stand those scolding." Liu Yichi closed his eyes and sighed.

"I have never been a public figure, and I don't even know that this kind of injury can drive people to suicide..."

"I know, but if I were you, I don't think I can do anything."

The crying on the other end of the phone was visibly lessened, as if he had been soothed by Liu Yichi's calm voice.

"Xiaochichi, you are too kind."

"What a ghost, or you'll annoy me to death crying in my ear."

"Knife mouth tofu heart," Mourning smiled, "Can I come and find you?"

"Does your mother care about you?"

"No matter, she doesn't believe in evil."

"Then you can do whatever you want."

Less than half an hour later, Mourning appeared at his door.Liu Di who was reading the newspaper in the living room was very surprised: "Ning'er?"

"Hello, Uncle." Mourning smiled and greeted Liu Di, and put a pot of strawberries on the table.

"This is……"

"This is the strawberry my mother planted in the small yard. It just ripened this week, so I'll pick some for you to try."

"Oh, thank you, thank you." Liu Di thanked quickly.

As soon as he arrived in the room, Mourning immediately closed the door.She rushed forward and hugged Liu Yichi tightly.

Although Liu Yichi was a little out of breath under her embrace, he still let her hold him.This time her girlfriend's death really hit her, Liu Yichi could clearly feel it.

"I don't know what to say, but it's really not your fault. I'm sure the police will bring that guy to justice. She didn't die in vain, and maybe save more similar people in similar situations." What about public figures under pressure."

The more Mourning listened to Liu Yichi's words, the more he cried.

Liu Yichi patted her on the back lightly, without saying anything, just like he quietly comforted that "Shi Ying" more than two months ago.

Mourning felt extremely relieved at this moment, and the sobbing gradually stopped.

At this time, the doorbell rang again.

Liu Yichi was full of doubts, was it a courier?She didn't care, just continued to accompany Mourning and let Dad open the door.

Suddenly, she heard the conversation between Dad and the people outside the door.

"Yo, Teacher Ye! Long time no see... Yes, yes, Yi Chi was playing with her cousin in the house. I didn't know she had a make-up class today..."

Teacher Ye?The name was blurred in her mind at first, and then it was so clear that it couldn't be clearer.She suddenly remembered that "joke" from long ago.Yelaoshr, who loves politics—where is "Yelaoshr" but "Yelaoshr"!Liu Yichi felt like he was going crazy.

And to come to my house so blatantly without notifying me in advance is to make trouble like that!

She jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, looking nervous.It's over, now my invincible perverted gossip cousin also knows about the existence of that woman!

Mourning looked strange: "What's wrong with you?"

"..."

Liu Yichi looked like he was about to cry, but there were no tears.
