Around

During the first week of school, Lian Qiao didn't receive a call from Shentucheng or meet him, but waited for a letter.

The envelope was very simple white, with only Lian Qiaoya's name written on it, no address or stamp, it must have been placed directly on her bed.However, Zhou Ying hasn't come to report yet. Lin Bingbing hasn't come back since going out the night before yesterday. Who sent the letter?While thinking about calling Liu Xia later, she opened the letter.

The content on the letter paper stunned Lian Qiao for a while—it was a top view, and judging from several large shopping malls, it should be a commercial pedestrian street in the city center.A red five-pointed star is marked on the location of a small supermarket.

Do you mean to meet here?Lian Qiao also moved his gaze down, and there was a line of small characters below the map—February 2, 25:12.

February 2th is today.The shops on the pedestrian street are uniformly closed at 25:[-], so what do you do in the supermarket after closing time?

Lian Qiao also picked up the envelope and shook it, jingling, a key fell to the ground.An alley next to the supermarket is painted bright red...does that mean entering from there?

Both the origin of this letter and its contents are too weird, even Qiao hesitates.But when she saw Shentucheng's vigorous signature on the lower right corner, she touched her beating heart and secretly made up her mind.

In the next few hours, Lian Qiao also spent changing clothes.A black skinny sweater dress with over-the-knee boots?No, too deliberate.An off-white loose top with shorts and snow boots?No way, too casual.Blush embroidered sweater?Pair it with a cute beanie?No, no, too naive... Picking and picking, almost moved out the whole cabinet of clothes, and Lian Qiao finally changed into a satisfactory outfit - the maroon woolen dress outlined her graceful figure, black stockings And rivet ankle boots make her legs more slender and attractive, and then she puts on a slim British style coat... The long waves hang down on her chest, and Lian Qiao in the mirror is also beautiful and reserved.I didn't have time to think about why I spent so much time on grooming myself. By the time Lian Qiao finished her makeup, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Lian Qiao is also a frequent visitor to large shopping malls, and is very familiar with the pedestrian street, so he arrived at his destination very quickly.She raised her hand and looked at her watch, it was twelve o'clock.The supermarket marked on the map is located at the entrance of the pedestrian street. It is small in scale and has only one floor.Lian Qiao also easily found the entrance - the warehouse directly behind the supermarket.

Click, the door swung open.

"Senior Shentu?" Lian Qiao called out cautiously.

The voice echoed in the empty warehouse and back to her own ears, it sounded like it was coming from another person.

Lian Qiao also stood at the door for a long time, thought and thought, and finally walked in.After all, she is still no match for the temptation of the three words "Shentu City", she thought helplessly.What will he say when he sees himself later?It must be a very mysterious thing to meet in such a place... Lian Qiao suddenly thought of Lin Bingbing. At that time, Lin Bingbing's behavior could not deceive anyone, it was the expression that girls who fell in love would have.The person who asked her out was probably not the younger brother but the suitor.So, did Lin Bingbing's him also take her to a dark place, and then suddenly turn on colorful lights to make a romantic confession?

Confession...

Thinking of this, Lian Qiaoye's face suddenly became hot.While telling himself to be calm, he couldn't help but look forward to it.Shen Tucheng's confession was the only thing she wanted, but also the only thing she didn't have the courage to ask for.The more she thought about it, the hotter her face became.

Just when she felt that even the base of her ears were burning hot, hoo... A gust of cold air blew on her neck.

……

The temperature on her cheeks dropped rapidly, and even Qiao felt a chill creeping up her spine, and she couldn't help shivering.

In the empty warehouse, there was only the sound of Lian Qiaoye's breathing. She froze in place holding her mobile phone, almost crying—she felt something lying on her back.

Even Qiao couldn't help imagining that it wasn't a thing, it was a woman.Her hair was loose, with only one eye peeping through the hair.The eyes are unusually big, but they only have the whites of the eyes and no pupils.Her skin was pale, a bloodless bluish-gray, like... like, a monkey that had been skinned and bled out.

She was lying on her back, her hands were around her neck, her legs were hooked around her waist... She put her chin on her shoulders, twisted her neck, and blew cool air on her body.

No... Go away, don't come near me... Even Qiao opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.Something flowed from her eye sockets, cold.

The woman opened her mouth, and a long tongue hung down.It got into Lian Qiaoya's ear, cold and sticky...I couldn't stand it anymore. "Go away!" Lian Qiao shouted at the loudest volume in her life.

She closed her eyes instinctively.Although she knew more about so-called "ghosts" than ordinary people since she was a child, she had never seen them with her own eyes.In fact, just imagining it made her tremble with fear.She is afraid that when she opens her eyes, she will see a scene that her heart cannot bear—if she wants to die, let me die with my eyes closed.she thought so.

However, unexpectedly, the surroundings were quiet.

The feeling in the back is gone.Lian Qiao also stood there for a while, nothing happened.She finally couldn't help opening a crack.Her eyes had adapted to the darkness, she didn't dare to move, she could only quietly look around - there was nothing.

hallucinations?

No, it's impossible.That feeling... that feeling of being cold to the bone, she never wanted to experience it again in her life.She took a cautious step, and a few minutes later, another step.After several trials, Lian Qiao was almost certain that the thing was no longer there.She rushed towards the iron gate when she came quickly-run away, run away!

Just when her hand was about to touch the doorknob, a breath of cool air hit her neck.

The door cannot be opened.

Lian Qiao also heard her teeth "clacking" and she turned around stiffly——

Zhou Ying.

"You can't escape."

Lian Qiao also pressed her back against the door panel, as if doing so would give her strength.She closed her eyes, then opened them again.

Zhou Ying was still standing there.

Perhaps, it should not be said to be "station".Zhou Ying floated ten centimeters above the ground, with her toes pointing down, like a puppet being hung.

Lian Qiao also took a deep breath, bit her lip and asked, "Are you, already, dead?"

Zhou Ying's mouth didn't move, but the voice came out: "Yes, we are all going to die, and you can't escape."

"why?"

"Because he wants us all dead."

In fact, Zhou Ying was just floating like this, except for her bluish complexion and strange "standing" posture, she was not much different from her life.Lian Qiaoye's courage gradually grew, she thought for a while, and asked, "Who does 'he' refer to?"

"Die Xian." Zhou Ying looked at Lian Qiaoye resentfully, "Everyone is going to die."

"But I didn't do anything, did I?" Lian Qiao also tried to reason.

"Everyone is going to die." Zhou Ying stopped responding, her shrill voice echoed in the air, and she kept repeating a sentence, "Everyone is going to die. Everyone who sees it will die."

Lian Qiao also felt wronged, maybe because she thought that there was no hope of surviving, she was quite desperate: "I didn't see the so-called Die Immortal!"

Zhou Ying suddenly stopped talking.She tilted her head and looked at Lian Qiaoye, like an innocent child.Suddenly, she smiled, and her bright red tongue fell out. "You saw it," she said.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Lian Qiao was also stimulated by this scene, she rushed forward like crazy, the dark environment made her fall down countless times.The sharp shelves scratched her delicate skin, and after a while, her body was almost covered with large and small wounds.

But she no longer feels pain.She just felt like she was about to collapse.Why?Why did this happen to her?Although she is not a good person, she has never done anything bad. Why do you treat her like this?She has never participated in Die Xian's game!She has never seen the so-called Die Fairy!Why?Why did he want her dead?Why?

……

Boom!

Lian Qiao also tripped over several boxes of goods.This time, she no longer had the strength to get up again.She sat up slowly, bent her knees, and buried her face between her legs.She began to sob softly - she was so scared, I was scared... Shen Tucheng, where are you?

At this moment, a voice of conversation came from not far away.It seems to be close at hand, but to listen carefully, it seems to be far away.No...it doesn't matter.The important thing is - the sound of conversation!That means there are people around here!Lian Qiao also raised her head, her tearful eyes were full of hope, if someone was there, it meant that there was hope!

She got up happily and limped towards the direction of the sound.

Pushing open a door, the lights inside were bright.It is a supermarket.Lian Qiao also breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly sat down on the ground.She saw a man with a basket picking out raw meat in the freezer.A light blue sweater dress, that is - Lin Bingbing!

Lian Qiao also jumped up excitedly: "Lin Bingbing!"

The man froze, but didn't look back.

Lian Qiao also seemed to have noticed something was wrong, she stepped back step by step.Just as she was about to flee through the door, the man turned around.

"you saw it."

In Lin Bingbing's basket, Zhou Ying's head said so with a long tongue.
