dead dog

Liu Yan's voice was very slow and soft, like the ashes of a cigarette, so fragile that it would break when the wind blows. Ye Chuyang listened to it twice before he vaguely heard what he said: The two of us can only Live one.

Ye Chuyang hurriedly asked: "Who are you? Are you and Zhong Ling? Who said you can only live as one?"

Liu Yan's breathing stopped, and he remained silent forever.

Jiang Ying suddenly said, "Dr. Ye."

Ye Chuyang turned his head and saw Jiang Ying squatting on the ground, holding a small transparent glass bottle in his hand.Jiang Ying put the glass bottle under his nose and smelled it, and said, "The perfume on Zhong Ling's body."

Ye Chuyang: "How do you know?"

Jiang Yingdao: "The last time we went to her wedding, I smelled it on her."

Facia was taken aback: "Cousin!"

Ye Chuyang turned his head: "What's wrong?"

Facia also took out a glass bottle from Liu Yan's suit pants pocket, which was exactly the same shape and size as the one in Jiang Ying's hand. Ye Chuyang was very dizzy: "What is this?"

Jiang Ying walked in and took the bottle from Facia's hand and put it in his pants pocket together with the other, saying, "I don't know, put it away first." He looked around, "Where's Zhong Ling?"

After Jiang Ying mentioned it, Ye Chuyang remembered to look for Zhong Ling in this room, because both Zhong Ling and Liu Yan were found in this dressing room, but at this time only Liu Yan's body was found, not Zhong Ling.

"Ahhh! That cat is here again!"

Bian Xiaocheng screamed ghostly outside the door.

Ye Chuyang went out, and saw the Siamese cat squatting high on the wooden shelf on the wall, its dark eyes made Bian Xiaocheng's hair stand on end, Bian Xiaocheng wanted to drive it away, Randomly picking up unknown debris on the ground and throwing it at it, the Siamese cat was really startled, jumped to the ground and landed lightly.

Bian Xiaocheng was startled, and rushed behind Ye Chuyang with a sound of oh my god.

Ye Chuyang laughed with him at fifty steps, and was also very frightened, but he stood still and raised his voice, "Boss Jiang, the cat is back, come out quickly."

From his tone, it seemed that the Siamese cat came back to find Jiang Ying and let Jiang Ying come out to meet the guests.

Jiang Ying strolled out with his pockets in his hands, leaned against the wall, looked at the cat and said with a smile, "We've seen everything you want us to see, and then what?"

Siamese cats don't move.

Facia also came out, pushed Ye Chuyang and Bian Xiaocheng away, and said with disgust: "Get out of the way, you two are really useless."

She walked a few steps, squatted in front of the Siamese cat, searched for a while from under the cumbersome skirt, took out a black object and threw it in front of the Siamese cat, saying: "I'll eat the mouse for you, please give me a hand!" a friend."

What she threw to the ground was a palm-sized dead mouse that had been baked flat and hard.

The corners of Ye Chuyang's eyes twitched, and he stammered and asked, "Where did you get the mouse from?"

Seeing the Siamese cat squatting still, Facia held the mouse's tail and passed it to the cat's mouth, saying: "I baked it, there are a lot of mice outside. Cousin, you are so stupid, you have come in for the second time." , and don’t bring any offerings.”

Ye Chuyang understood that Facia regarded the cat as an evil spirit, and it needed to be offered as a sacrifice, which was equivalent to a bribe. Naturally, taking the bribed evil spirit would not embarrass them.

Ye Chuyang felt that this trick was feasible, so he asked, "Why do you still have mice?"

Facia said: "Of course, I have prepared well, and I have everything in the secretary's bag."

Bian Xiaocheng pinched his nose and gave Ye Chuyang a canvas bag he just picked up casually from outside. Ye Chuyang opened it and saw that the inside was dark and full of roasted and dried rats.So Ye Chuyang pulled Bian Xiaocheng and squatted in front of Fasia, slipped out a mouse and put it in front of the Siamese cat, and said, "Brother cat, brother? Are you the big brother? Xiaoya, is it a male? "

Facia tilted her head to look at the cat's buttocks: "I didn't see the balls, it should be the mother's."

Ye Chuyang: "Oh, big sister. Big sister, this is my filial piety to you. I know Zhong Ling is here, can you take me to see Zhong Ling?"

Bian Xiaocheng: "Dr. Ye, a lady can't be called Big Sister, she has to be called Young Sister. Miss Sister, I'll give you two baby mice, please help us, we want to go out early."

Facia: "The color contact lenses I wear today are the same color as your eyes, it's fate, let's make friends."

Ye Chuyang: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to take us to find Zhong Ling, then let me go back to the lobby to have a look just now, I want to know who is the person who forced Zhong Ling to have an abortion."

Facia: "Or you can tell us the name directly. Are you literate? You should. Use your paw to draw on the ground and write down the dog man's name."

Bian Xiaocheng: "Miss Sister, please do me a favor. After I go out, I will set up a grave for you and buy a monument. I will burn dried rats for you every Qingming Festival."

While talking, they threw rats in front of the Siamese cat, and after a while, they threw a pile of rats. Ye Chuyang also picked and picked the rat with the most beautiful dead appearance and the most complete roast, and put it on the top, chanting words all the time. , and took the time to turn around and wave to Jiang Ying, so that Jiang Ying also squatted down and bribed the Siamese cat.

Leaning against the wall, Jiang Ying folded his arms and looked at them with the eyes of a fool. Luo Mao sneered and said: "I know you can understand people's language. If you don't reveal your cards and continue to pretend to be a ghost, then I will be embarrassed. I am a bit of a jerk. I don't like flowers, plants and small animals, so I will skin you The bones are stewed into cat soup."

When Ye Chuyang heard this, he was so stupid that he didn't dare to breathe, and covered his face and looked at the cat through his fingers.

Maybe the Siamese cat was successfully threatened by Jiang Ying, or maybe it couldn't stand the idiot who flattered the trio. In short, it swept its tail, turned and walked forward.

Jiang Ying raised his heels to follow behind it and said, "Everyone, come here, it's time to stop."

Bian Xiaocheng: "Boss Jiang, what should we do with these rats?"

Jiang Ying turned back with a sharp look: "If you dare to pick it up, I'll feed you all."

Ye Chuyang originally planned to take the mice to buy money, but when he heard Jiang Ying's words, he threw all the mice away.

The Siamese cat led them through the messy auditorium. Ye Chuyang looked back quietly, and saw that the place they walked was swallowed up by darkness little by little, and the road under their feet disappeared little by little.The auditorium has already passed by, but the Siamese cats are still walking forward. They seem to have entered a boundless space. If it is not for the solid feeling of stepping on the ground under their feet, Ye Chuyang will doubt whether they are walking or standing. In the black universe covered by heaven and earth.

Gradually, they seemed to have walked into a huge glass box. There was a fire outside the box. The red light of the flame fell through the glass, and the billowing flames rushed to the top of the glass. The whole space was like a huge fireball. Hollowed out, they walk in the vacuum in the middle of the fireball.

Zhong Ling's figure appeared in the blood-like red light all over the sky. She was wearing the white wedding dress on the wedding day, with a white gauze covering her head, and what she held in her arms was no longer the white bouquet, but It was the Siamese cat with the broken ear.

Facia exclaimed in a low voice: "Cousin, did you see it? That's Zhong Ling."

Ye Chuyang saw Zhong Ling, and Zhong Ling looked like a ghost at this moment, which made him fearful.

Jiang Ying quietly came to Ye Chuyang's side and said, "Go and talk to her."

Ye Chuyang: "Who?"

Jiang Ying: "Zhong Ling, aren't you looking for her?"

Ye Chuyang hesitated.

Jiang Ying whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm right behind you."

Ye Chuyang turned his head to look at him, and finally mustered up the courage to walk towards Zhong Ling alone.When he walked to Zhong Ling's side, he heard Zhong Ling's muttering to herself.

Zhong Ling whispered to herself, "What kind of place is this? Why am I here?"

In the bloody firelight, Zhong Ling's confused and chaotic side face appeared, her eyes were dull and empty, her legs kept moving forward like clockwork, without looking back.

Ye Chuyang hesitated for a moment, then said: "Miss Zhong Ling, I am Ye Chuyang, we met outside, do you remember me?"

Zhong Ling didn't seem to be able to see him or hear him, and she was still talking to herself: "Strange, I remember that I put out the flames, but why did they still burn?"

Ye Chuyang followed her words and quoted: "What fire? Was it the fire that started on the day you got married?"

Zhong Ling murmured: "Yeah, I remember I put it out, I remember."

There was a bang around, the flames shot into the sky, and the billowing flames were like fireballs blown by the wind. Although he knew that the fires were blocked by the 'glass shell', Ye Chuyang couldn't help but raised his hand to block it, saying: "Then do you remember how the fire started?"

Zhong Ling didn't seem to hear his words: "What will happen if the fire burns? Will they die? God...the fire will burn them to death."

Ye Chuyang asked again: "Do you know who set the fire? Is it you?"

Zhong Ling shook her head slowly: "It's burning, it's really burning, but I remember I put out the fire..."

Ye Chuyang suddenly stood in front of her and looked straight into her chaotic and dry eyes: "You set the fire, right? You want to burn your parents and fiance to death, right!"

Zhong Ling tilted her head slightly, bewildered like a child: "Are they dead? I remember the fire started, didn't I put it out? Didn't I..."

She walked forward while talking, passing through Ye Chuyang's body like a mass of soul without body.

Ye Chuyang was stunned for a moment, ignoring the shock, and hurried to catch up with her: "Yes, the fire started, but you didn't put it out, your parents and fiance all died, but there was one person who survived."

Zhong Ling: "Who is it?"

Ye Chuyang said: "The person you really want to marry is not Liu Yan, right? You are not pregnant with Liu Yan's child, the person who made you pregnant and forced you to have an abortion is not Liu Yan, who is he? He is called An Dong ?"

Zhong Ling: "Anton? Yes, it's Anton. He also saw the fire burning. He saw the fire burning, but he didn't put out the fire. He left."

Ye Chuyang: "What do you mean? Why did Anton see the fire? Is he also at the scene? Did he also go to the wedding?"

Zhong Ling smiled idiotically: "Why did the fire start? If the fire started, would they be burned to death? Ah, then let the fire start, don't put the fire out, don't..."

Ye Chuyang became anxious: "Zhong Ling, tell me, who is Anton? Is he on the wedding guest list?"

Zhong Ling walked faster and faster.

Ye Chuyang was left behind by her in a blink of an eye. He wanted to catch up with Zhong Ling, but was stopped by Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying grabbed his arm and said, "Don't chase, she has arrived at her destination."

There are several steps in front of you. Above the steps is a wide platform. The platform is more than ten feet high. There is a gold-copper mirror hanging on the high place. The mirror is very large, with a diameter of more than three meters, and the hanging direction is facing the east. Towards.The mirror is very wide and big enough to fit everyone in, but it only casts the shadow of Zhong Ling.

Ye Chuyang, Jiang Ying and the others stopped in front of the steps, and Zhong Ling stepped up the steps by herself. When Zhong Ling stood on the high platform, a sea of ​​flames suddenly appeared under their feet; that was when Zhong Ling and Liu Yan got married two years ago The auditorium, the auditorium caught fire, and the guests ran away like a herd of frightened horses. A few unfortunate people were entangled in flames, swallowed by thick smoke, and burned into charred bones... The wedding scene became a crematorium.

Ye Chuyang glanced at it and didn't dare to look again. He said, "What is this place? What is Zhong Ling doing here?"

Jiang Ying pointed to Zhong Ling's back on the high platform, and said, "There are words on it."

Facia was very courageous, stepped on the fire and walked a few steps forward, stood in front of the steps, and said, "Cousin, there are really words, and there are words written on that mirror."

Ye Chuyang also concentrated on looking at it, and struggled to distinguish the handwriting that was mixed with the bronze mirror: "Nie Jing... Taiwan? There is no one in front of the evil mirror—"

In the middle of reading, Ye Chuyang stopped, with a dazed expression on his face.

Jiang Ying added with a smile: "There are no good people in front of the evil mirror."

Facia said: "I know that in myths and legends, after ghosts go to hell and pass through the gate of hell, ghosts carrying sins will come to the evil mirror."

Jiang Ying's smile was thin and desolate. He looked at Zhong Ling with yearning in his eyes, and said, "It seems that this is the hell that Zhong Ling made for herself, and she is serving her sentence in this hell."

The fire under their feet is still burning, the crowd is still fleeing, and the wailing is still floating...

Zhong Ling turned around, and the huge bronze mirror behind her still only showed her figure alone. She hugged the Siamese cat, faced Ye Chuyang and the others, and said, "Hurry up and leave!" , don’t bother me anymore. I’m tired and I want to rest.”

Jiang Yingdao: "She wants to close the spiritual cabin."

Ye Chuyang could also see that Zhong Ling had built her own hell in the spiritual cabin, and she was the only one in it, and she wanted to serve her sentence in her own hell forever.Ye Chuyang said anxiously: "I already know why you are sick, I know how to cure you, let me help you?"

Zhong Ling: "But I'm guilty, I'm a sinner."

Ye Chuyang: "I know that the death of your parents and fiancé is related to you. You want to punish yourself, but you...you can't escape! The murderer is not only you, but also the man named Anton who has been hurting you. And there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, if you really want to atone for your sins, then uncover the truth and let all the guilty be punished!"

Zhong Ling smiled and said: "I will not atone for them, because they deserve to die. I will only atone for my heart, because I wanted to be a kind person, but I failed. You guys hurry up, and then Later, I won’t be able to leave.”

Before Zhong Ling could finish speaking, Bian Xiaocheng screamed in an unusually stern voice: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! President Bian, Facia! Help me!"

The invisible glass shell under their feet began to shatter, and flames several feet high rose from the ground, erecting between Ye Chuyang and the others and Zhong Ling like a wall, the glass shell under Bian Xiaocheng's feet shattered, and the whole person Falling into the flaming hell, he grabbed the remaining glass shell in time to avoid being swallowed by the flames.

Facia immediately squatted down to drag him, and Jiang Ying, who was rushing over, dragged him up together. Jiang Ying shouted: "Dr. Ye, let's go!"

Ye Chuyang looked at Zhong Ling through the flickering firelight, and Zhong Ling stood in front of the huge bronze mirror, looking at her too.He felt that Zhong Ling was talking to him, but they were too far away, and Zhong Ling's voice was too low. He couldn't hear Zhong Ling's words, but only saw Zhong Ling's eyes full of confession and despair...

Jiang Ying grabbed Ye Chuyang with one hand and Facia with the other, and Facia dragged Bian Xiaocheng, and the group of people dragged and ran back, racing against the sea of ​​fire behind them... Finally, they found the shabby plane. The rotten elevator, Jiang Ying opened the elevator door: "Get in!"

Ye Chuyang entered the elevator with Facia and Bian Xiaocheng. Ye Chuyang held the door of the elevator and waited for Jiang Ying to come in.

But Jiang Ying stopped outside the elevator, and turned to look at the sea of ​​flames they escaped from just now. There is the hell where Zhong Ling is serving her sentence...

Bian Xiaocheng: "Boss Jiang, come in quickly."

As if Jiang Ying had never heard of it, he took a step towards the sea of ​​flames.

Ye Chuyang suddenly grabbed him, and pulled Jiang Ying into the elevator with strength from nowhere, and then closed the elevator door.

The elevator sank quickly and reached the first floor. They ran out of the clock tower. Ye Chuyang turned his head and saw that the whole clock tower was sinking, sinking to the ground little by little, into hell.

"Cousin, where is Zhong Ling!"

Facia pointed to the huge dial hanging on the roof.

Ye Chuyang looked up and saw Zhong Ling wearing white gauze behind the transparent dial, and Zhong Ling was smiling at them.

He didn't know until now that there was a mirror behind the clock.
