kiss the night

At dawn, Yan Zhao was awakened by his own biological clock. He sat on the bed and felt light-headed. The hunger did not disappear because of a night's sleep, on the contrary, it intensified.

Yan Zhao felt that his throat was dry and his stomach was empty, so he tried his best to support himself and went downstairs to find water to drink. Si Qi did not restrict him from drinking water. He felt better at last.

The room was empty, Si Qi didn't come back all night, and he still didn't come back in the morning.

This kind of thing is not very common, especially when two people are still in the country, the Si family, as a family with a high social status, still has strict discipline on the only heir, and there are as many access controls and reports, so even if the Si family Qi was spoiled so much that he wanted the wind and the rain, and in the end he didn't completely grow into a playboy.

However, relying on his sixth sense, Yan Zhao always felt that after going abroad, Si Qi, who was out of the control of the family, began to change in some aspects... He has not been able to figure out what kind of change this is.

Yanzhao couldn't take care of himself and was tired of thinking about such problems. After simply drinking two glasses of water, he went out to hail a taxi.

There are not many permanent residents in Renal City. If I have to say, it is more like a small town than a city. Yan Zhao waited for a long time before he stopped the car, and the driver couldn't help reminding He, he realized that he came out in a hurry, and he didn't even wear a padded jacket, only a sweater hanging on his body.

"Don't you feel cold?" the driver asked him, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.

Yan Zhao stared blankly at his clothes, and asked the same question in his heart, yes, why didn't he feel cold after he had been out for so long?Could it be that there was something wrong with being starved.

The car radio broadcasts the daily morning news as usual. Compared with yesterday's appalling incident, today's morning news has become quite simple and normal. After making fun of the cold weather this winter, the female anchor reminded in a gentle voice : "Due to the abnormal weather this year, in order to prevent frostbite and sudden meteorological disasters, the Meteorological Bureau of this city once again reminds citizens to try not to go to the mountains and go home early at night. I wish you all a safe and happy winter."

Peace and happiness.

Yan Zhao grabbed his schoolbag and got out of the car. He sighed and decided to go to the convenience store to buy some food to fill his stomach no matter what - the Si family never treated him badly in terms of money, or in other words, even if he never A little money flowed out from Si Qi's fingers, which was a very big expense for ordinary students.

After waiting to fill his stomach, Yan Zhao finally felt much more comfortable all over his body, and his sensitivity to temperature returned. He stomped his feet and walked quickly into the classroom to avoid being shivering from the cold outside.

Jesse was already sitting at the original position, beckoning to Yan Zhao: "Hi, good morning."

"Good morning, Jesse." Yan Zhao put down his schoolbag and rubbed his frozen red palms.

Jesse frowned and looked at him worriedly: "Zhao, are you okay? Why are you only wearing so little clothes?"

Yan Zhao shook his head in embarrassment, he wasn't going to tell Jesse about his mess with Si Qi.

Jessie said "Oh" full of reproach, and then hung her scarf around Yan Zhao's neck. She was really worried about Yan Zhao, because from the daily interactions of the last semester, Yan Zhao seemed to have an opponent. He wasn't a very good boyfriend, obviously he didn't lack anything for food and clothing, but Yan Zhao always looked sick. Jesse knocked on the side, always feeling that his boyfriend was abusing him.

Just when the two of them were about to say something more, the male classmate at the front desk rushed in. He threw his schoolbag on the table, turned around immediately, with an excited look on his face, and said, "Hey, you guys Guess what I know?"

"What?" Yan Zhao and Jesse's attention was diverted.

"It was the previous incident of wild beasts attacking people. I asked my father about the situation yesterday, and he said that the person should be a Korean student in our school. He died very strangely." He said, pausing here for a while on purpose. Cai then said mysteriously, "There are two injuries on his body."

"Two places?" Yan Zhao couldn't help recalling what the Duke said in his mind, "Isn't it just one bite mark?"

"Eh? How did you know!" The male student at the front desk became excited.

"I..." Yan Zhao naturally couldn't tell him the truth, so he could only blushed and scratched his head.

However, Jesse quickly answered him: "Yes, I heard that people from the police station came to the school yesterday and called some people from the Asian Brotherhood to inquire." She looked at Yan Zhao suspiciously , "But, Zhao, did you join that fraternity?"

"No, no." Yan Zhao shook his head, "It was my roommate who lived with me who participated."

The boy in the front row frowned: "Are you in contact with their people?"

"It's not counted as communication... What's the matter, what is the other injury on the student?"

"It's a pinhole." The boy showed a disgusted look on his face, "In the gap between the index finger and the middle finger of his left hand, some drugs should be abused. This position is not easy to be found, so many drugs in universities have become Addicts will choose to inject here."

Jesse reacted quickly: "You mean, because he abused drugs, he ran to the deep mountains and old forests alone, and was finally attacked by wild animals?"

"From the current situation, this is the case." The boy nodded firmly.

Yanzhao remained silent. He recalled that day in the living room upstairs, and he seemed to see that person behaving abnormally. Maybe he should tell Mr. Duke about this situation. After all, he is a councilor of Renal City. , substance abuse among college students is not a good sign.

However, that Mr. Duke has great powers, so he should have known it a long time ago.

Yan Zhao sighed, and couldn't help but think that Mr. Duke helped him twice, but he had nothing to repay him at all. From this point of view, he is really useless.

The thing about the beast attacking people is temporarily closed, just like the boy in the front row said, the police later attributed the drug abuse to the cause of the case, and the beast attacking people was determined to be some kind of snake in the mountain area .

"Scepter one, newborn." Lorraine flipped over the first tarot card in front of her.

The curtains were drawn in the classroom occupied by the occult activity group. There were three candles burning quietly on the table, and there was a piece of aromatherapy next to it. Different from the most popular floral fragrance on the market, this aromatherapy is a quiet woody fragrance. .

Yan Zhao sat across from her, blinking a pair of round eyes at the cards on the table, a powerful hand stretched out from the clouds, holding a scepter entwined with vines.In fact, he was not very interested in things like Tarot cards, and he only stayed at the level of hearing about them, but in the end, for credits, he and Jesse compromised and joined this mysterious group with relatively few things.

"You have to focus, Zhao, Tarot will only guide the direction of those who have nothing else to do." Lorraine opened her mouth to draw his attention back, and looked at Yan Zhao with a sullen face.

"I'm sorry." Yan Zhao smiled embarrassedly.

Lorraine didn't pay attention to his apology, and then turned her attention back to the card: "The second card, Ten of Swords." She frowned, looking a little uneasy.

Yan Zhao looked at the card, and saw a man lying on the ground, with ten swords pierced from his head to his genitals. These ten swords were like nails, nailing him to the ground. What torture.

"This……"

As soon as Yan Zhao made a sound, Lorraine interrupted her. She made a gesture to silence everyone around her, and then calmly opened the last card... the devil.

The team member standing next to Lorraine gasped, and the girl looked up at Yan Zhao with sympathy in her eyes: "It seems that the luck of this new member is not very good." She said.

"What does that mean?" Yan Zhao asked.

"Ten of Swords, reversed, maybe there is still salvation." Lorraine opened her eyes, blew out the candles, and then turned on the lights in the classroom to return to normal. Her eyes were fixed on Yan Zhao, as if she was looking at Yan Zhao In the inspection, "I always feel that you have a strange aura, but when I saw you before, this aura was not so obvious, but looking at it today, this aura is so strong that I can't ignore it."

"What breath?" Jesse sat beside, biting the licorice candy in his mouth, "Don't talk so mysteriously, maybe you can consider talking more normally."

Lorraine glared at her, and Jessie shrugged.

Lorraine still didn't answer Jesse's question. She opened the curtains and looked deeply at the sunset outside the window. Looking out from the high-rise teaching building of Renal University, she could see the mountains and forests in the outer suburbs of Renal City, layer upon layer. , don't have a charm in the evening.

"I can feel that this place has become less safe." Lorraine said, she turned around and looked back at Yan Zhao, "Maybe you are also a part of this unstable factor."

Yan Zhao was stunned by her sudden accusation, so that after the group activities were over, his interest was still low. Jessie walked beside him and complained: "If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have come to this occult group." In my opinion, it is a group of junior high school students whose intelligence has not yet fully developed, who are immersed in some ghosts and gods every day, and take it as real!"

Yanzhao shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay, I don't really care about these things." Since childhood, he has been called a monster a lot of times, and he doesn't care about this one more time. There are still some differences.

Yanzhao really thinks this way. After all, he only respects things like tarot cards and divination, and doesn't believe in their results. And Lorraine's so-called "breath" does not have an accurate definition. It seems that he just wants to It's some kind of sixth sense.

However, on the second day after Lorraine said this, the morning news in Renal City was hot again-according to the report of the female anchor, in less than a week, the city of Renal once again This time, the protagonist of the incident is a prostitute, and the incident took place in a slum.

Of course, the slum is just a common name. Its original name was "Riverside District". It is separated by a river from the Beech Road apartment complex where Yan Zhao lives. Many aborigines and poor people in Renal City gathered there, and it is also the location of the red light district.
