Nocturnal

Qin Mochi leaned lazily on the steps, squinting his eyes at a cotton candy-like white cloud floating above his head, "Then what if he calls me again? Can I refuse?" He wondered what Li Yedu was doing secretly. Sima Cheng was held back by hands and feet, because Sima Cheng hadn't looked for him for several days.It's just that something went wrong in the past few days, and I suddenly started calling him, and insisted on seeing him.

"Brother Qu also told him about your situation, but he just didn't believe it..." Xia Zhifei became a little irritable, "The people of the Sima family have already reached a certain level of arrogance, everyone else is wrong, only he is right... "

Qin Mochi lowered his head and grinned sullenly. He answered several calls from Sima Cheng and ignored them. Sima Cheng was probably a little angry.He was a little worried before that Sima Cheng would personally come to arrest him, but later he found out that Sima Cheng was so aggressive that the "special affairs department" didn't pay attention to him. He was such an undocumented monster, so he wouldn't fall down. Worth came here to catch him again.

"Don't talk to him." Xia Zhifei said angrily, "If he asks you to go, just say you're busy or something. Anyway, just ignore him."

Qin Mochi felt that blindly dodging was not a good way, he really wanted to make Sima Cheng anxious, he might be able to accept him if he pressed down the small plate in his palm, then the "special affairs department" might just stare blankly. After all, the status of "experts" is very delicate.As for Li Yedu and Na Kun, Qin Mochi actually didn't want to bother them. Their masters had some connections with the Sima family, and it would not be appropriate for this senior brother to offend the Sima family because of him.

If possible, Qin Mochi still wanted to solve this trouble by himself.Maybe he will encounter this kind of thing again in the future. Does he have to push it to others every time?

"Why don't you just get a 'Residence Certificate' for you." Xia Zhifei said half-truthfully.

"No." Qin Mochi refused straight away, getting a "residence certificate" might solve the problem at hand, but at the same time it completely rejected his identity as a human being, which Qin Mochi could not accept anyway.

Xia Zhifei knew that he would not agree, "Why don't I discuss it with Brother Qu and find a chance to invite the two of you to our office for a chat. If you have something to say, we can discuss it face to face. What do you think?"

Qin Mochi didn't say anything.

"Ink pool?"

Qin Mochi put out half of the cigarette in his hand by the edge of the flower bed, and said lightly, "Second brother, you can just tell the surname Qu about this matter, don't keep asking. It's not good for you." In the workplace, Avoiding suspicion and relatives is necessary.Qin Mochi didn't want to hurt Xia Zhifei because of this incident.

"You think too much," Xia Zhifei laughed, "It's not that serious..."

"I know it in my heart." Qin Mochi recalled the first meeting with Sima Cheng.If he didn't think about it, Sima Cheng didn't want to scare people, but really planned to accept him.Since there was no harvest, it meant that with Sima Cheng's level, he was not completely sure of dealing with him - this gave him a bargaining chip.

Qin Mochi doesn't know his own situation yet, but he also knows that there is something in his body protecting him, perhaps it is the "monster power" that Xia Zhifei mentioned.And Sima Cheng should also be very curious about this.

Maybe talk.Qin Mochi thought, he must find out what happened to him.Master Faming should have noticed it, but he is a master, with the style of a master, and he never speaks more than half a word.Li Yedu and Na Kun might also know about it, but Li Yedu said he couldn't tell him.He doesn't know what mystery is there, but he knows that if he wants to find out the answer, he can only find a way by himself.

"Let's do this first." Qin Mochi said, "I'll come to you again if I need anything."

Xia Zhifei was also a little helpless, "If Sima Cheng looks for you again, please tell me. Don't just do something reckless."

"I know."

Qin Mochi hung up the phone, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the street on the other side of the flower bed.In the drink shop around the corner, several middle school students in school uniforms were talking and laughing together, and two tall boys were still holding cigarettes in their hands.Qin Mochi glanced at the phone screen, and it was obvious that it was not the end of school time yet.

Qin Mochi didn't want to be nosy, but seeing Xia Zhijie's foolishness, he felt that such a ready-made handle was presented to him, and it really made him uncomfortable not to use it.

Qin Mochi took two photos with his mobile phone and sent them to Xia Hong, along with a text message: Pay attention to the time of the photos.

After sending the text message, Qin Mochi tapped his chin lightly with his mobile phone and smiled wickedly.He didn't want to care about this younger brother who had the same father as him in name, but he just wanted the family to make trouble on their own.Qin Mochi thought to himself, if this kid is too disrespectful, he will inevitably be ashamed, won't he?

Someone shouted from behind: "Mr. Qin, the model is here."

Qin Mochi agreed, stood up and ran over.He took people to the east of the city today to take a group of promotional photos for his new work.Although his studio has developed well in the past few years and is somewhat famous in the industry, the necessary publicity still needs to be done.

The person in charge of the studio was known through Yang Ke. The venue is not big, but the photographer is very good. Qin Mochi likes the photos he took very much.When I came here today, I found out that the model I worked with before had gone out of town temporarily, and the photographer had no choice but to invite a familiar model to come to the rescue.Qin Mochi has reservations about this point. Although the protagonist of the photo is not a person but a jewel, it still needs to look appropriate.

Qin Mochi entered the studio and saw a few young girls waiting there, all wearing simple white shirts as required, and two of them had outstanding facial features.Qin Mochi directly skipped these two, and chose the short-haired girl standing on the farthest side.The girl's facial features are slightly plain, but she has a good temperament, fair complexion, and the lines of her neck and arms are very beautiful.Qin Mochi looked at her hands with satisfaction, and said to the makeup artist on the side: "Will off the nail polish, just apply a layer of bright color."

Makeup artist takes the model to get ready.

Qin Mochi was about to tell Zhang Xiaomi and Ningning a few words, when the phone rang again, it was an unfamiliar number.Qin Mochi looked at this number with complicated eyes. He would call him an unfamiliar number at this time, except for Sima Cheng.

Qin Mochi walked out with the phone in hand, and when he passed by those young girls, he suddenly smelled a strange smell, like the strong smell of green grass from a lawn that has just been mowed.At first he thought it was the scent of some girl's perfume, but after walking a few steps, he felt that it was not quite like the scent of perfume.Qin Mochi couldn't help but glance back.

The smell should come from that long-haired girl. Apart from her beautiful appearance, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.YouQi noticed that he was looking over there, and the girl turned her head and smiled at him.

Qin Mochi nodded, turned around and walked out. When he opened the door, he turned his head inadvertently, only to find that the girl was covered with a faint green light—if it wasn't for the white curtain that happened to be behind where she was standing, Qin Mochi probably wouldn't be able to see it .This situation is a bit like Yao Jun, the beautiful woman who opened a beauty shop he saw on Nanjiang Street. At that time, there was a layer of black mist on her body.Qin Mochi was a little puzzled, what exactly does this mean?Is it also a demon?

The phone stopped vibrating, then started ringing again.

Qin Mochi walked out of the studio, stood by the flower bed and answered the phone.The group of truant youngsters in the beverage shop across the street had disappeared, and a girl with a plaid hairband on her head lowered her head and was listlessly wiping the tables and chairs in the shop.

"Qin Mochi," the man's voice sounded exhausted on the phone, "You haven't answered my calls before."

Qin Mochi was noncommittal.

"I saw Qu Zhi of the 'Special Affairs Section' in the past two days, and I talked to him about your situation, and I had a guess in my heart." Sima Cheng pondered for a moment, and asked: "I heard that you have had these changes recently... ?”

Qin Mochi responded, "Yes."

Sima Cheng said slowly: "It is impossible to complete such a thing as demon transformation in just a few months... Maybe this kind of change happened before, but you didn't notice it."

Qin Mochi replied with certainty: "It started a few months ago."

Sima Cheng said: "That's even simpler, you must be carrying something that can suppress or cover up this change."

Qin Mochi was confused, but felt that what he said seemed to make sense.

"On you..." Sima Cheng just said half a sentence, another voice came faintly from the phone.After a while, Sima Cheng said: "I can't explain this on the phone. Can you come to my place?"

Qin Mochi hesitated.When they met for the first time, Sima Cheng's menacing look made him terrified.

Sima Cheng said: "At the beginning I thought you were a demon, so I will not be merciful. Now that I know something else is hidden, the Sima family will not be indifferent to things." Seeing that Qin Mochi was silent, he said again: "Why did I come to the sea? , I believe you also know it. This matter has something to do with you." He asked Qu Zhi, and Qin Mochi was also present when the body was found.Sima Cheng didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

"Qin Mochi, don't you want to know what happened to yourself?"

These words hit Qin Mochi's weakness.

Qin Mochi sat by the flower bed and smoked a cigarette, took out his mobile phone to call Xia Zhifei, and told him about Sima Cheng's appointment to meet him.Of course Xia Zhifei didn't approve of the meeting. He didn't have the slightest good impression of Sima Cheng. Besides, what happened to Qin Mochi was not an emergency. Take your time and you'll figure it out.

"The meeting was at a hotel, not a deserted place." Qin Mochi smiled and said, "Besides, I'm reporting to you, and he won't do anything to me."

Xia Zhifei sighed, "Forget it, I'll go with you." Based on what he knew about Qin Mochi, how could he not know that he had already made a decision.

"No need." Qin Mochi said, "This is my privacy after all. I plan to tell you selectively after I figure it out."

"What about you?" Xia Zhifei was slightly annoyed, "You have slept in my upper bunk for more than ten years, and I know how many moles you have on your body, so why are you telling me about privacy?!"

Qin Mochi laughed, "Have some confidence in your team. Isn't the 'Special Affairs Section' very powerful?"

"Of course it's great." Xia Zhifei muttered, "Then keep your cell phone on, and call me anytime you need anything."

"Okay." Qin Mochi recalled what he saw in the studio just now, and asked him again, "I saw something like a layer of fog on some people, do you know what's going on?"

Xia Zhifei asked him, "Where did you see it?"

"I saw a woman who opened a beauty salon on Nanjiang Street before. Her name was Yao Jun. There was black fog around her body." Qin Mochi shivered, "There is a woman in the studio today who smells like grass , with a light green light on his body."

Xia Zhifei pondered for a while, "Yao Jun settled in Linhai a long time ago, this one smells like green grass... I don't have much impression..."

"What's going on?" Qin Mochi asked curiously, "Is it also a demon?"

"Don't worry about it," Xia Zhifei said vaguely, "Those who can live in the city do not pose a threat to human life. If they don't have a 'resident permit', they won't walk on the streets. Don't worry. "

Qin Mochi understood everything when he heard the words "settlement certificate".Yao Jun and this green grass girl are probably of the same type, and the lynx girl is probably of the same type as the singing girl I saw in the bar last time—both have fluffy tails, and he saw them.

Well, in this deceitful world, how many non-humans are lurking around him.

Sima Cheng lived in Tianyue Hotel on Binhai Road in the southern district.

Tianyue Hotel is only half a street away from Xinghai Building. Although Qin Mochi has never been in, he can see it every day.The high-rise buildings in this area of ​​the South District have all been built in the past few years, and each one looks more beautiful than the other.However, Qin Mochi himself still prefers the elegance and calmness of Xinghai Building compared to the eye-catching and publicity of Tianyue Hotel.

Qin Mochi registered at the front desk and took the elevator upstairs.Sima Cheng lived on the twelfth floor. When Qin Mochi stepped out of the elevator, he suddenly realized that the room on the side where Sima Cheng lived had a window facing the beach where the murder happened.

Qin Mochi's heart palpited inexplicably.

The overhead lights flickered and made the sound of Zrazla.Qin Mochi subconsciously looked up at the flower-shaped ceiling lamp, but luckily it just flickered and then returned to normal.

Qin Mochi's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

The corridors of the hotel are covered with thick and soft carpets, and there is almost no sound of footsteps when walking on them.Qin Mochi walked through the empty corridor and stopped at the door of Sima Cheng's room.

Overhead, in the distance, the voice of Zirazla, who had a circuit failure, came again.

Qin Mochi was about to knock on the door when his eyes suddenly went dark, and the lights in the corridor went out at the same time.

A faint warm wind blew across his face, like the draft from the opening of the door.However, his outstretched hand pressed against the cold door leaf clearly.

The door of the room did not open.

At the same time, something flew over Qin Mochi's head very quickly, and something like a piece of clothing brushed Qin Mochi's cheek lightly.

Cold, soft, with a faint aroma.

It smells like sandalwood.

All the fine hairs on Qin Mochi's body exploded at this moment.
