Li's mother almost ran after her daughter who had just woken up. She thought she could catch up by going down two floors at most, but she forgot that she was stepping on thin and high heels, and ran down from the intensive care unit on the fifth floor. She sprained her ankle just after reaching the fourth floor, and Li Lu, who was stepping on a flat-heeled cotton mop, ignored her screams and disappeared from sight within 20 seconds.

After 2 minutes, he disappeared from the hospital, and the speed made Li's mother dumbfounded.

It was already 10 minutes later when she limped and caught up with Li Lu at the gate of the hospital with her high-heeled shoe in her left hand.

Seeing the girl who just woke up with a confused expression of 'who am I, where am I, what should I do', and looking stupidly at a man with a tall back and cool and nice hair, Mother Li's heart tightened.While hopping towards Li Lu's position, he recalled what the doctor said when Li Lu was unconscious.

"The patient suffered a huge blow to the brain before coma, and the blood in the brain clotted into clots. Even if it is removed by surgery, it may leave sequelae."

"In mild cases, you may lose your memory after waking up, or in severe cases, you may become permanently comatose and become a vegetable."

Thinking about Li Lu just waking up, she didn’t care whether her comic serialization was discontinued, whether a reader sent her a razor blade, didn’t even wash her face and asked if she rushed out of the ward with a look of despair after 2016 this year. Watching a strange man make a dumbfounded expression.

I'm afraid it's not just as simple as amnesia, she would believe it if she was stunned.You have to know how lazy Li Lu was two years ago, he didn't want to walk even if he had to wait for an elevator for 5 minutes.

Now she can run up to five floors in one go.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the relapse of face blindness towards foreigners. Mother Li always thinks this guy with dark blond hair is very familiar. The man sent back by the comatose Li Lu.

But in the following two years, except for regularly sending Li Lu's medical expenses to the hospital every month and taking away the recovery materials, the man never appeared again.

Doubt grows like a messy ball of yarn.

Who was Li Lu captured two years ago, and why was he sent home covered in blood? Is this man really Captain America?Could it be that he came to the hospital on purpose when he knew that Li Lu was awake?

It seems that the murderer of that case has not been caught so far.

**

What thefuck? !

Li Lu's doubts in his heart at this time are only a lot more than that of Li's mother.

Why does Tao always know her?Why did his mother, who never watched movies, seem to be very familiar with him? After confirming their identities, the two talked and laughed and sent the dazed Li Lu back to the ward.

Through the conversation between the two on the road and Mr. Tao looking at her from time to time and throwing a question or two, she basically understood the setting of identity in this so-called real world.

First of all, she is a very well-known cartoonist who specializes in supernatural detectives. She is a prolific wife among fans of horror comics and is famous for her ingenious reasoning and logic.

She will not complain about this, because whenever she declares to Li's mother that she has not graduated from college and has never drawn manga, Li's mother will stare at her with very pitiful eyes.

On a rainy night in 2016, she claimed that she wanted to go out with "a friend" to watch the newly released "Captain America 3", and the show ended at [-] o'clock. Normally, she should be home by [-] o'clock, but it was not until the next day Li Lu didn't come home at noon.When she couldn't even get through to her phone at two o'clock in the afternoon, Li's father and Li's mother finally realized that something must have happened to their daughter and rushed to call the police.

During that time, there happened to be several serial murders. Since the death of each deceased was unique and brutal, the media gave tabloid titles to the deceased and the murderer respectively—"Angel and Satan".

"Wait, Angel and Satan?" The three of them had already returned to the ward, and Li Lu, who was sitting on the bed, sounded very puzzled, and couldn't help interjecting, "Why such a strange name? Shouldn’t the titles of the crimes be related to the death of the deceased or the modus operandi? For example, ‘Jack the Ripper’, ‘Midnight Follower’ and the like.”

They all have special titles to highlight the crimes they committed. As long as people mention that name, they can think of how the murderer committed the crime and what kind of quirks they will have.

But 'Angel' and 'Satan', such ambiguous terms, are not at all like titles for serial killers. Instead, they seem to have been randomly picked up in some low-level novel by the author who was too lazy to think about it.

"You are right. As expected of a cartoonist who is good at reasoning and suspense, you have indeed noticed the key point." After entering the ward, the man did not sit down like the two of them, but first found a convenient place for the shield in his hand. Put down the table, "But these two names are not strange, let alone casual, they are indeed related to this serial murder case. 'Angel' refers to the death of the deceased. I said that the murderer's criminal methods are extremely cruel. The deceased were all black-haired girls in their 20s, thin and fair-skinned."

"Moreover, they are all oriental women. After they were arrested, they were not 'sexually assaulted' as people guessed. They usually reappeared somewhere after three days of disappearance—or in the mountains with dense forests. , or between the cliffs by the sea, in short, they are all specially selected places with beautiful scenery, the more like a fairyland, the more likely the dead will appear."

The man paused for a moment, as if recalling the tragedy of the deceased, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, although Li Lu felt that "the place where the corpse appeared is as beautiful as a fairyland" and "the oriental girl is like an angel" It's a bit strange to name them angels, but she doesn't intend to intervene.

Because she thinks the man will continue to talk.

"Of course, these commonalities are not special. At best, it can only show that he has a special preference for 'Oriental women', which is not enough to explain anything...but..."

Then the man took out a few photos from his pocket and handed them to Li Lu. At first, she was still a little puzzled. It stands to reason that British and American TV dramas and movies are generally large in scale. What kind of murder scene they have never seen before is so terrible. At what point did the man show such an expression that he couldn't bear to recall, and after changing his temper twice, he still couldn't continue.

But when she saw the content in the photo and her scalp was numb with fright, she wanted to scream but couldn't make any sound in her throat, and her whole body froze, then she understood the man's feelings.

This murder scene was not bloody. In fact, apart from the bloodstains on the body of the deceased, there were no bloodstains on the flowers, plants, rocks, or even the iron wires hanging from each photo.

It can be inferred that each corpse was hung up after the bloodstains dried up. The postures of the dead were extremely strange. Their necks were all hung up by a thin wire, with their heads hanging down and their fingers crossed. forward.

The skin of each corpse has been completely peeled off, so it can be clearly seen that all the ribs on their chests have been cut off, and inserted from the back spine from top to bottom in order according to length, length and thickness. Both wings.

In this photo, every scene is as beautiful as a painting, but in the middle of the oil painting is not a beauty dyed by lights, but an angel who is bloody and praying after being skinned and boned.

Even just looking at such a scene is enough to make people have nightmares for three days. Mother Li wanted to poke her head over to have a look, but Li Lu swiftly took away the scattered photos and stuffed them in a corner of the bed.

"I understand. In fact, you don't need to explain it to me so carefully." Suppressing the discomfort in her chest, Li Lu tried her best to talk to Mr. Tao in a calm tone. In fact, she wanted to throw the photo on the other party suddenly, but considering that It's the Marvel actor she likes very much, so she held back abruptly.And she always felt that something was wrong, not about 'why did an actor tell her about this murder in detail', but a question about those few photos.

Is it because the murderer chooses the scene too well?Or is it that the person taking the photo is actually very artistic?Why does she see the golden ratio composition in every photo?

And there is no 'sexual assault', no 'property damage', the prisoner really just wants to kill.

"I understand, those photos are scary, but this is related to you, you must know these." The man gave her an apologetic look, "After all, these criminal methods are based on the latest comics you published before you fell into a coma. Whether it’s the selection of targets, the modus operandi, or even the location and scenes that have appeared in the comics, they are all exactly the same as the comics you have drawn.”

……

That's pretty creepy.

***

Li Lu asked herself, she is not a person who is slow-witted, and even often causes bad things because of being too sensitive and suspicious, but this time, she should have noticed something wrong long ago, and she has unintentionally ignored so many suspicious points.

'Parents divorced early tomorrow, why did they show up at the hospital together? 'Even if the husband and wife can support and comfort each other while their daughter is in a coma, they can reconcile with the reason of new feelings bursting out, but why did the two of them become so rich?

She obviously didn't even buy a few famous brands before crossing, and she couldn't afford to rent toilets in Beijing, but she came back and lived in a hospital in the United States for two years.

Moreover, with Draco's support, she designed jewelry, and she has developed a good eye. The pearls on Li's mother's earlobe, she can tell at a glance that the price is absolutely expensive.

As for the cartoonist, she is so famous that some fanatical fans would commit crimes by imitating the techniques in the comics in order to attract her attention. Her wild thoughts before going to bed were not so exaggerated. At most, she bought a lottery and won 1000 million. .

And because her parents were there, when she met this blonde man, her first reaction was Chris Evans. No matter how many flaws she had, she never thought about it. The man in front of her was actually Captain America. .

And she was almost turned into a member of the 'Angel', and the second day after she disappeared, she was found by the captain who was performing other tasks in the murderer's hideout.

"Steve?" Looking at the man who was still explaining to her in a serious manner, Li Lu, who had already speculated but still couldn't believe it, frowned and called out tentatively.

"Ah..." The man was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and then he returned to his smile, which was very warm, "Yes, you can call me Steve, can I call you a deer?"

Foreigners are always weird when they speak Chinese, the word 'deer' sounds like 'donkey', but only Li's mother is trembling with laughter, but Li Lu's expression is so serious that he can't laugh at all. .

'This is not the real world, and the woman in front of me is not her real mother, this is a new world created by the live broadcast. '

Li Lu didn't answer Steve, but took the phone from the bedside and started searching for all Marvel-related information, but she couldn't find it at all!What Captain America, what Spider-Man, there are only news on Google, either what kind of disaster they saved, or what kind of loss they brought.

She even searched for the widow sister and the Hulk fan that 'she' had drawn on INS, and a person named Tony Stark with a very high number of fans even liked that short comic.

But the information of Mr. Stan Lee disappeared without a trace, and even the information of people with the same name and surname could not be searched.

But no matter how she called the system in her heart, how she invoked the ability that she had exchanged with gold coins before, there was no response.

When I came to the new world before, even if the system didn't release the task, it would reply her some irrelevant questions, but now there is no response, as if there is no live broadcast system.

……

The live broadcast system...doesn't exist at all?

"...Do you have an impression? Deer?" Captain America, who was talking to Li's mother, suddenly turned his head to look at Li Lu, who was overwhelmed by huge doubts, and was waiting for a response. look like.

"Hold... sorry, I was distracted just now." Looking at this tall man who seemed to have stepped out of a cartoon, Li Lu came back to his senses with mixed emotions, "What did you say? What impression?"

"I know that after you woke up, you suffered from memory disturbance and lost a lot of memory. But you must know that the 'Satan' is still roaming around, although there have been no new murders since you were rescued. But the murderer People will always be in danger until they are apprehended."

"So I still want to try to ask you, do you still have any impression of what happened before you passed out, and do you remember the murderer's appearance?"

Not only was the case too tense and terrifying, but she was also uneasy about the environment she was in and the chaotic thoughts in her brain. Li Lu always felt that the air pressure in the room was terribly low at the moment, and she felt a little chest tight and breathless.

Homicide, coma, meeting to go to the movies together.

The problem is that "Captain America 3" hadn't been released when she crossed in her previous life, so where should she go to find this lost memory.

But if this is a new world, and the live broadcast system did not give her any response from the beginning to the end, Li's mother and Steve both believed that she had amnesia, and everything she said was classified as a dream in a coma. Just mistook the dream for the real world.

Even Li's mother called out the name of 'Draco' accurately. She said that when Li Lu was in a coma, she had called out this person's name several times. Omen, but every time I get a doctor to check, the answer I get is disappointing.

In the end, she could only conclude that it was just a dream.

"I don't remember." Li Lu shook his head, "I don't have any memory at all. If I meet that person, I will definitely not forget it, because my memory is absolutely infallible."

"You..." Steve seemed to want to interrupt, but Li Lu didn't give him such a chance, and continued, "I don't think those are just dreams, in my opinion, the you in front of me are the dreams .Even if I feel pain and have clear thinking here, it doesn't mean anything unless you have a way to convince me that what happened is a dream and you are real."

What she said was very twisted, and Li's mother, who only had a slight pass in English and did not hinder daily communication, stared at Li Lu dumbfounded, wondering when her daughter's spoken English had improved by leaps and bounds.

But Steve didn't have such doubts. After hearing what Li Lu said, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and raised his eyebrows at Li Lu. From those blue eyes, she saw that she hadn't washed and was unkempt. looking at the man with a serious frown.

"I understand. Then after you calm down in a few days, I would like to introduce a psychologist to meet you. I believe he will help you clear your mind, and maybe it will remind you of some important clues."

****

This should be the best night ever.

At four o'clock in the morning in summer, the non-stop rain that started in the evening finally stopped. Although it was midnight, the temperature was not low at all, and the accumulated water on the ground was rapidly evaporating and transpiring.

Cicadas croaking and frogs croaking endlessly, but this did not make the night noisy and annoying, but instead highlighted the silence of the outside world.

But the beauty didn't last long.

"Ah-!! Help--! Help me!"

A woman's shrill scream sounded from a certain street corner in Queens, tearing apart the moonlit night sky with few stars.

*****

First night after death:

It turned out that she really met Captain America, and everyone was telling her that everything that happened was a dream, and even vowed that as long as she talked with a psychiatrist, she would be able to distinguish between dreams and reality.

Because the psychiatrist has absolute authority in the industry, even the FBI often asks him to conduct psychological profiles on criminals when they crack cases.

But if it was really a dream, who could explain to her: How did she know that Spider-Man was Peter Parker?

Among the information searched on Google, no one has speculated on the identity of Spider-Man.

As for the authoritative psychiatrist, it sounds so versatile and powerful, but don't be Hannibal, hahaha.

The author has something to say:

Hahaha...don't be an old man, right?
