Kou Qiu was in a daze with his mobile phone in his room.

The phone urged him: "Hurry up, I still have to watch the ten o'clock news broadcast!"

It paused, and then said: "What are you in a daze for?"

On the screen of the phone is still the second text message received, an anonymous, never-before-seen number.Kou Qiu sat on the bed with his knees in his arms, thought for a long time, and finally said: "I was thinking, who sent this text message...?"

Originally, Meng Jiao was not a cheerful person.Due to the pressure of livelihood, he didn't even have many opportunities to get in touch with the classmates in his class. Except for Yu Jiamao, the only one who could get his mobile phone number was Zhuo Pu, who was in charge of their class now.

But the person who conveyed the message for him was obviously very familiar with both him and Yu Jiamao.

"It's not easy." The phone was a little confused, "You can just ask that male classmate who gave your number to, isn't that all right?"

Kou Qiu smiled wryly, and rubbed the phone case with his fingers a few times.

"I just don't want to ask," he said in a low voice, "I don't feel good about him."

He had an inexplicable hunch that if he asked, something worse would happen.

The phone beeped twice and said, "Then I'll check."

Its interface began to quickly swipe through various web pages, comparing the information one by one, but in the end it still found nothing, and a blank interface popped up.The phone rang again, and suddenly fell into an inexplicable depression, saying: "I'm really useless..."

You can't even do such a small thing as investigation!

What qualifications do I have to brush test questions and listen to news broadcasts!

Kou Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly comforted it: "It's okay, it's okay, you've done a good job."

He put the mobile phone on the bedside table, and the quilt at the foot of the bed automatically covered him, and the four corners were tightly tucked.Kou Qiu touched a corner of the quilt, feeling that he had raised a limp cat.

The desk lamp consciously dimmed the light.

Kou Qiu closed his eyes and said to his son in his mind: 【Do you know what the benefits of special people are? 】

The system said: [What? 】

Kou Qiu said proudly: [Never catch a cold! 】

Look how tight it is, like a sleeping bag!

The system fell into a mysterious silence, and said after a long time: [Did you forget that your own quilt always kicks you? 】

Kou Qiu's pride disappeared instantly.He silently hugged the small quilt that was now covering him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It seems to be oh, why, it's so strange..."

The system was speechless, and it took a long while before he reluctantly responded with hem, 【Yeah, that's weird. 】

Strange ghost!

Isn't it because you push the quilt all day long! ! !

That night, some people slept very well, while others were doomed to sleepless.Twenty kilometers away from the villa area where Zhuo Pu lived, a young man walked into a shop and looked around, as if he was looking for something.

He entered the store and was never able to come out of the store again.

Zhuo Pu was woken up by the sound of the phone.He sat up from the head of the bed, and the phone was automatically connected, and the man's voice over there could be heard clearly even if he didn't use the speakerphone: "Another one! Damn, another one...even with his palm , this time it's only a short shot!"

The drowsiness dissipated almost instantly.Zhuo Pu picked up the phone and said, "Please explain the matter more clearly."

Moments later, new victim information was sent to his cell phone.The victim was only 22 years old and was about to graduate from university. His face facing the camera was fair and delicate, and his smile had a clear feeling.Not surprisingly, he is also an art student.

The photos at the scene captured his hands, those long and slender hands that could hold a paintbrush, but now there are only ten bloody fingers left, which were randomly thrown on the ground and scattered in the dust.

Only the head remains.

Zhuo Pu's heart couldn't help jumping suddenly.

He got up and knocked on Kou Qiu's door, knocked a few times, and asked, "Meng Jiao? Are you there?"

Within 2 minutes, the young man came to see him with a face still dripping with water, apparently just washing his face.For the sake of convenience, he tied all the broken hair on his forehead into a small knot, his face was white, and the corners of his forehead were wet with water droplets, refreshing and delicate, and asked: "What's wrong?"

It wasn't until Zhuo Pu saw that he was safe and sound with his own eyes that Zhuo Pu felt relieved.He called the young man out and said briefly, "An accident happened again."

The victim's information reached Kou Qiu.

He stared at the mobile phone number for a while, suddenly looked strange, and said, "I seem to have seen this string of numbers somewhere... Wait!"

He hurriedly turned around and went back to his room, recalled yesterday's text messages, and compared them one by one, the more the comparison, the more frightened he became.

"...that's right."

"it's the same."

He originally thought that the owner of the number must be a classmate in the class, but he never thought that it would be a new victim.

The system trembled and said: [What do you mean, this buddy still had time to send you a reminder message last night? 】

Before death, or after death?

Whichever it is, it sounds heart-shattering.

Isn't this a ghost story!

Kou Qiu looked at that face carefully again, frowned and said, "But I haven't seen him before."

Zhuo Pu nodded, "He is not from the Academy of Fine Arts."

According to the current information, the victim and Kou Qiu should not have any intersection.

Things seemed to be in a fog again.All the clues are rolled and twisted into a ball, and it is impossible to find a source from them.

"Don't think about it," Teacher Zhuo touched the young man's cheek with his gloved hand, and said, "From today onwards, you must follow me."

Hua Peacock also came out at some time, staring at the white gloves on Zhuo Pu's hands, and whispered: "I don't know if he was wearing these when he did that yesterday..."

Shadow said, "I think so."

Kou Qiu turned around curiously and asked, "Then what is it?"

Hua Peacock looked at the master's gaze that was sweeping towards him, her legs trembled like a sieve, and she shook her head again and again: "It's nothing, it's nothing!"

After a while, the two shadows squatted in front of the trash can in Zhuo Pu's room, and looked inside.

Zhuo Pu is obsessed with cleanliness, even the trash cans are white with several layers of bags inside.As soon as they opened the lid, they saw a few pairs of white gloves thrown inside.

Hua Peacock squatted, and stretched out his hands to count the number: "One pair...two pairs...three pairs...four pairs!"

He suddenly gasped.

Four pairs!

What's more, I only have 3 minutes!

Shadow squatted beside him, and Vicissitudes spit out a smoke ring.

"Stop talking," he said quietly, "I really made myself miserable."

There is no time.

The corpses of the victims increased one by one, and the integration was about to be completed; the people in the Supervision Department were very anxious, and after discussing for a long time, they finally plucked up the courage to call Zhuo Pu, vaguely proposing to use Kou Qiu as a bait Possibility to lure criminals.

However, they were only halfway through their words before being cut off by Mr. Zhuo, "No."

"Don't be so hasty," the short, fat man said nicely, "Look, with you there, it's not like Xiao Meng can't deal with the shadow himself, and there won't be any danger, right... "

"No." Teacher Zhuo still said these two words lightly.

The short and fat man said anxiously: "Mr. Zhuo, now is not the time for you to lose your temper, we have no other choice!"

The public opinion in the market is getting more absurd day by day, and it seems to be developing in the direction of urban legends.The people were panicked and did not even dare to go out at night, but even under such precautions, new victims still appeared.

This kind of pressure weighed heavily on his back, and everyone in the supervisory department couldn't breathe.

Zhuo Pu pursed his thin lips, and said, "Meng Jiao's abilities are only useful in emergencies, and you know that."

The chunky man said dumbly, "This..."

Teacher Zhuo closed his eyes tightly.

"If there really is a shadow that hurts him immediately, he—how can he escape? Or do you really have this confidence and can swear to me that he will be unharmed?"

It is true that no one can guarantee that the people over there are silent.

"In this case," Zhuo Pu said decisively, "I will never risk him."

There was absolutely no room for negotiation in his words.

The people in the Supervision Department only felt a headache, and finally had to say: "All right, then what are you going to do, just keep guarding him?"

Zhuo Pu replied as a matter of course, "Yes."

The short and fat man suddenly had a headache, his temples were throbbing, and he didn't know whether he wanted to drop the phone, or he wanted to follow the signal and beat up the couple.He took a breath and said in despair: "We actually don't allow office romances!"

"Well," Teacher Zhuo answered quickly, "Then I will resign."

The short and fat man's tone softened all of a sudden, and he was so cowardly: "The rules are all set by people..."

He wiped his sweat, and managed to stabilize the human-shaped compass again with great difficulty, but suddenly he heard an employee in the office gasp.

"Boss! Come and see!" He said in surprise, "Scholarship, scholarship!!!"

The man's eyes fell on the computer screen.

Among so many clues, the dark thread involving these victims finally emerged slowly—all of them had received scholarships funded by the company under Mu Xi's name.

The Four Seas Company has grown bigger and bigger in the past few years, and the industries involved are also developing in food, real estate, services, etc. Its subsidiaries are spread all over the country, and there are dozens of foundations alone.Mu Xi is also a philanthropic person who provides countless scholarship programs, and nearly a thousand people receive his funding every year.Under such circumstances, it is indeed not easy to find the common ground of these victims.

Fortunately, Zhuo Pu provided them with a direction, and they finally discovered it.

The short and fat man hesitated for a while, but he didn't want to startle the snake, "But for Mu Xi, Mr. Zhuo needs to confirm it."

Zhuo Pu hummed, agreed, and said, "I want to see him too."

Meet the person who can make Kou Qiu say "So I liked it".

He doesn't care at all, really.

"It's really strange," Hua Peacock mumbled holding his heart behind him, "I don't care about it at all, okay..."

Zhuo Pu and Mu Xi were college classmates back then.In order to get close to Mu Xi, he called his classmates back then and proposed to hold a class reunion the next night.

The students were naturally happy to have the opportunity to get together again, and hurriedly agreed to go to Zhang Luo.He asked in surprise again: "So, you came back from abroad?"

Zhuo Pu said: "Yes, I'm back."

"That's really great," the classmate sighed. "How many years have we not seen the people in our class? Just wait, just Mu Xi and them, they will definitely come!"

It is no secret that Mu Xi is infatuated with Zhuo Pu.Hearing this ridicule, Teacher Zhuo just smiled lightly, which meant a lot.

"I hope so," he said.

The fear is that he dare not come.

What are the preparations before joining the class reunion?

Normal people usually walk in three steps: get a haircut, buy new clothes, and meet old friends like a dog.

Teacher Zhuo's preparations are also divided into three steps, taking Kou Qiu to cut his head, buying new clothes for Kou Qiu, and going to meet old friends with Kou Qiu.

The latest models of several brands were sent over. He sat on the sofa, like a newlywed husband waiting for his wife to try on clothes, his eyes always looking at the door of the room.After a while, the door was pushed open by Kou Qiu, and the young man walked out with long legs and thin waist, frowned and adjusted the corners of his clothes in front of the mirror, "I always think this style looks familiar..."

"Does it look familiar?" Hua Peacock said, "Guess who has the exact same one?"

Kou Qiu cast his eyes on Teacher Zhuo hesitantly.

"It's okay," Hua Peacock said happily, "I'm not stupid yet."

Shadow raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but said nothing.

Hua Peacock saw his action, and was immediately reluctant: "What do you mean by that look?"

Shadow said slowly, "You should understand."

Hua Peacock understood his eyes, and instantly became furious: "Are you trying to say that I am so stupid, how can I still have the face to call others stupid?"

"..."

At this moment, the eyes of other people in the family looked at him full of indescribable expressions, and even the furniture all showed expressions of caring for the mentally retarded.

"Zhuo Ying," the sofa said, "Go and see your brain, hurry up."

Hua Peacock feels that she has been discriminated against, which is not the usual kind.

He looked around with tears in his eyes, and seeing that no one was willing to help him, he suddenly sobbed aggrievedly, squatted in a corner, and began to think about Yingsheng.

Seriously, why is it so difficult for a shadow student?

Not only do you not have little porn books to read, but you even have to be despised by a sofa for your IQ?

He was heartbroken for a long time, turned his head and saw that no one came to comfort him.His boss was squatting down to help Kou Qiu tie his shoelaces, no one cared about his sadness.

Hua Peacock was not happy, and shouted: "Are you all so cruel and ruthless?"

Shadow came forward instead, and took the time to touch his face, "Good boy."

The Peacock looked at him with tears of gratitude.

Shadow patted his head again, smiling more gently.

"It looks better when you cry," he said. "Cry more."

Flower Peacock: "..."

fuck.

The finishing touch to the attire is a tie.The man took out a dark-striped shirt from his closet, wrapped it around the young man's thin white neck, tied a beautiful knot with his gloved hands, and let it hang down along the lines of the shirt.Zhuo Pu's hand stayed on the tie for a long time before he asked softly, "Are you afraid?"

Kou Qiu shook his head at the same question as in the previous life.

The man smiled briefly.

"If you are afraid," he said, "follow me."

Just follow me.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the class reunion officially started, and the hotel was brightly lit.The waiter waiting at the door received guests one after another. Seeing that even the president of the Sihai Group got out of the car, he couldn't help but secretly gasped in his heart.

"Look at that!" He lowered his voice and said to the colleague beside him, "Does that person look familiar?"

The colleague glanced curiously and immediately understood.

It's Mu Xi.

The standard smile with eight teeth hangs on his face almost subconsciously. Mu Xi seems to have dressed it on purpose. He is wearing a black tuxedo that is close-fitting and smooth, and he is personable. .His hand paused on the sign-in book, as if he was looking for something, then he raised his head and smiled at the waiter.

"Hasn't Zhuo Pu arrived?" he said, "the Pu of the uncut jade?"

The waiter hurriedly replied: "Sir, everyone who has arrived has already signed on it."

Mu Xi's expression seemed a bit regretful, but he didn't say much, he put down his pen and entered the box, and sat in the banquet.Many students present came over to talk to him, but he just responded in a neutral manner, keeping his eyes fixed on the direction of the door.

After a long time, he heard the voice of the waiter leading the way.The sound of footsteps on the carpet was steady and rhythmic, like a drumbeat beating on his heart, making him sit up straight for a moment involuntarily.

Mu Xi liked this person and never bothered to hide it.

This person is a light in his heart and a cinnabar mole. The more he knows that he can't get it, the more he can't hold back his desire to have it.

Over the years, he has had many people around him.There are many substitutes, and there are many new ones for a while, but still no one can match the position of this person in his heart.

He adjusted his posture, and even felt a little impatient.

Two minutes later, someone pushed the door open.

Zha Gong held his breath. Immediately afterwards, he saw two somewhat similar faces. The two came in hand in hand, one's hand was still firmly protecting the other's shoulder. The intimacy is unmistakable.

As a person bent into a mosquito-repellent incense, Mu Xi who can't understand the meaning of it: "..."

At this moment, he was just sluggish and couldn't even describe his mood. His heart seemed to be a grassland, with tens of thousands of beasts roaring wildly and rushing past.

The system can even see the big question marks popping up one after another from the opponent's head, shaking each one on the head.

......What's happening.

Varied!what!shape!condition! ! !

He stared at the two of them closely, stood up out of control, and couldn't even control the eyes of others.

He knew the one on the left, his white moonlight.

He also knows the one on the right, the substitute of his Bai Yueguang, the little lover who hasn't gotten started yet.

How did these two people get together? !

The system clapped inwardly, and said with satisfaction: [Seeing this scene of the collapse of the three views with my own eyes is even more enjoyable than I imagined. 】

At this time, Teacher Zhuo still has to seize the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to his rival in love.He wrapped his arms around Kou Qiu's shoulders, wearing the same couple outfit as the youth, and said calmly, "Let me introduce, this is Meng Jiao. My..."

He draws out his voice slightly.

"spouse."

Mu Xi rolled his eyes and was completely dizzy.

The classmates next to them also showed expressions of watching a play, but they couldn't show it too clearly, so they could only come up to greet each other and praise the couple by the way.They held back their energy and didn't know what to praise, so they could only say with a dry smile: "You two look like a husband and wife..."

The system almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

What a god of husband and wife.

Mu Xi's three views were obviously severely impacted, and he sat in his original position for a long time before coming to them in disbelief.He opened his mouth and asked, "Are you together?"

Teacher Zhuo's expression softened a bit, he was playing with a lock of Kou Qiu's hair in his hands, and suddenly moved forward, touching his lips lightly.

Mu Xi's mouth is big enough to stuff an egg.He staggered violently, taking a step back.

"How can you be together," he murmured, "You! How can you be together, you are really together?!!"

The system said pitifully: [Yeah, can't you see that, are you so stupid? 】

Mu Xi still couldn't believe it, and after a long time, he turned his head to Kou Qiu.

"But why!"

Upon hearing this topic, the system became excited.It said to Kou Qiu: [I will teach you, you follow me. 】

Kou Qiu said: [Okay. 】

Mu Xi still asked persistently, "Why?"

The system rubbed its hands excitedly: [Because he has a great weapon and a good job. 】

Kou Qiu: "Because he's big...living well?"

Why does this sound a bit strange?

Teacher Zhuo's gaze was firmly fixed on him, it was so hot that it seemed that it could spontaneously ignite without sparks.In contrast, Mu Xi's expression at that moment was as if the sky had collapsed. He looked at the two people in front of him, and his face was full of confusion.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "So, you have already reached this point."

Kou veteran cadre: "???"

Which step, did you just hold hands?

"You, you..."

Zha Gong seemed to be unable to continue, he slammed his cup and went out the door.Leaving behind Kou Qiu who was still dazed, and Zhuo Pu who was about to stare at him out of a hole.

[No...] Kou Qiu said to his other cub, [Just seeing us hold hands, did you stimulate him like this? 】

Was Zha Gong so innocent?

The system just said hey hey and didn't answer.

At the same time, Teacher Zhuo also shook his hand vigorously, his tone was full of patience, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Don't worry," he whispered, "wait until you get home."

Kou Qiu:? ? ?

What is he in a hurry, what is he in a hurry for?

He really couldn't understand what these people were saying.
