12 years zero soul

Is it running water?There was a splash, it was not quite right, it might be the sound of dripping water... ah... that's enough, he was probably hallucinating.

Pain came from the back of his head, and he frowned.Qiu Ren tried to move his hands and feet, but unexpectedly found that he was not tied up. He opened his eyelids with difficulty, and everything he saw was pitch black.

He wanted to stand up, but he couldn't control his hands and feet for a moment, and his body was as heavy as cement.

What was he doing before he lost consciousness.

Arriving at the pier as agreed, the long-abandoned "Prince Star" medium-sized yacht... what next?The fragment of memory here seems to be missing.Jumping over here, Qiu Ren thought carefully again. When he came to the middle floor, when he passed by the window, he suddenly smelled a strong stench, and then stopped...

Is it food rot?The windows were open, and the stench seemed to be coming from the house.He stood on tiptoe and peered inside.It looked like it was the kitchen, and although the lights were off, it wasn't completely invisible.Looking around, there are obviously unused gas stoves and countertops, old refrigerators and electric cookers of unknown age.

On the maroon log table are convenience store bags, half-eaten bread, bottled water, and a large number of empty beer cans, so dirty that it feels like cockroaches will appear at any time.

A dirty piece of cloth was crumpled up in a corner, like clothes.Also on the ground is a pair of sneakers, a baseball roll, and a baseball, next to a black school bag.The contents of the bag fell out, and papers, coin purses, etc. were scattered all over the place.

The floor was covered with dust, and there were footprints and drag marks, and there were pools of stains everywhere.Perhaps because of the faint moonlight shining in through the glass, the stain looks reddish black, as if it is the color of blood mixed with dust after spreading.And the traces of dragging continue to the refrigerator.

There is a dismantled partition next to the refrigerator. It seems that something huge has been stuffed into the refrigerator. The gap between the refrigerator door seems to be a fan-shaped object formed by countless black thin lines.Is it too casual to close the door, or is the stuffed object so huge that it runs out of the door?

The moon seems to be responding to Qiu Ren's expectation. In the process of slowly changing the angle, the black line gradually becomes clear.

To Qiu Ren, it looked like... hair.

Although the room was quite stuffy, Qiu Ren felt a chill down his spine.After that, he lost consciousness. In his field of vision that flickered on and off, the baseball bat seemed to attack him with sharp teeth covered in blood, which was clearly imprinted in Qiu Ren's mind.

Suddenly, strong anger welled up in his chest.Why did the unidentified murderer do such a murderous thing to others? !

No, it's not unidentified...

The other party must still be in this yacht, and he is treating his every move as a one-day sideshow.Qiu Ren found that his eyes were used to the dark field of vision, he slowly sat up straight, unable to find a sense of balance for a while, he swayed a few times, and looked around again.

"Come out quickly."

Qiu Ren yelled at the air in front of him, and it seemed that he could still hear the buzzing in his ears.

This should be the hall of the ship. Apart from the crumbling stools, there are also broken wine bottles and scattered pieces of wood.

The wooden plank made a mournful sound of "嘿嘿嘎嘿" when it was stressed, and then "Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Papa"...

"Do you know who I am?"

The other party's tone was quite calm.

“Why do you use a SLR with high-speed continuous shooting instead of a SLR with excellent ISO performance?

In the darkness, Qiu Ren was searching for the specific location of the other party, but it was very difficult for him who only had monocular vision.Suddenly, his body shivered.That's right, although he couldn't see the other party, his eyes were so cold that it made people feel chills from the bottom of his heart. It was like a cold-blooded snake calmly observing its prey, but it was also like a cruel hound trying to tear it apart and run away. .

"Maybe I'm investigating the case secretly?"

"impossible!"

"Oh?"

"It is absolutely impossible for Kuroda to allow his subordinates to investigate in depth without determining whether the case is dangerous."

"It's really a rash conclusion."

"I'm not a detective, let alone a police officer. My sixth sense is enough!"

Qiu Ren showed a provocative look.

"Ah..." suddenly realized, "I forgot, you are a photojournalist, Officer Gao Yu, no, sir."

A sense of powerlessness enveloped Qiu Ren's whole body instantly.

"Who the hell are you? Why are you doing this?"

Qiu Ren tried his best to calm himself down while looking around for something that could be used as a weapon.

"Didn't you already guess it? Or is it because you have a bad memory and forgot my name?"

Suddenly, the light on the top of the center of the hall turned on. It seemed that it could not fully illuminate this spacious place, but it was enough to see the surroundings clearly.

He was holding an object like a remote control in his hand, staring straight at Qiu Ren who was sitting on the ground. The distance between the two was less than one meter.Tong Yuan glanced at Qiu Ren as if nothing had happened, his expression seemed to say "You are so troublesome!".

It is precisely because of this that it makes people feel hairy.Qiu Ren swallowed hard.

"What do you want, Kirihara Ryosuke!"

Qiu Ren thought he had already made a fierce sound, but the other party didn't even twitch the corner of his mouth.He pulled a stool beside him and sat down.

The stubble on Tong Yuan's face was not clean, his hair was messy, the suit on his body seemed to have not been washed for more than a month, and his whole body exuded a lazy atmosphere.

"Aren't you a police officer? Why do you do this? What have I done to make you...hate me so much?"

The silence was too long, and Qiu Ren couldn't bear it, so he spoke.And in that refrigerator, that is really a corpse... Could it be a head? !

Tong Yuan's eyeballs rolled down, in disbelief and contempt, "I almost forgot that you lost your memory."

Sensing that the other party's eyes were focused on his left face, Qiu Ren didn't dodge, but stared at Kirihara with his lips closed even harder.

"stand up."

As if being forcibly taken away, Qiu Ren was held by Kirihara's arm and pulled up forcefully.

"what are you doing?"

Qiu Ren stood up straight with difficulty.

"The game has begun."

"what?"

"game."

Kirihara said it word by word.

"what game?"

Qiu Ren's mouth trembled inexplicably.

"Catch, ghost."

He raised his baseball bat and swung it down towards Qiu Ren, but Qiu Ren narrowly dodged it.

"Unfortunately, the players haven't arrived yet."
