The living room was dark, except for a small lamp in the corner.

Li Yu lay on the man's chest like a dead dog, half-opening his eyes, looking at the black and white perspective view on the light screen.

The windows and curtains in the room were closed tightly, and the light bulbs hanging in mid-air were as quiet as chickens.

The tips of his ears were being fiddled with, Li Yu raised his eyelids and glanced, seeing that the man was about to stand up, he stretched his arms with difficulty to make room for him.

The degree soon came back from the bathroom with a basin filled with water to help the young man wipe himself.

Wet sweat is carried away leaving a dry coolness.

As soon as the feeling of sweating disappeared, Li Yu gradually cheered up, his brows frowned suddenly, and the light on his side moved.

It swayed violently from side to side, colliding with other light bulbs around it one by one, making a jingling sound.

He happened to walk to the door of the bathroom, looked back at the young man who was lying on his side, and tightened his fingers gripping the edge of the basin.

"Want to go in and have a look?"

Li Yu nodded frankly, "There is another sound inside."

He casually placed the basin on the nearby basin table, and went to the master bedroom to get the key.

The key was thrown along a parabola and fell into the young man's hand with precision.

Li Yu froze for a moment, then looked up, the man was leaning against the doorframe of the master bedroom with his arms folded, his facial features were dimly blurred, making it hard to see his real expression.

"Go if you want, walk slowly."

Seeing the target standing still, Li Yu asked, "Aren't you with me?"

The extent cannot be said, "With me here, you can't see interesting things."

Probably because it was too dark, the shimmer in the man's eyes was sharp, like a cheetah lurking in the dark, creepy.

Li Yu approached step by step with two oversplit legs, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and finally touched the doorknob, he inserted the key, turned it slightly, and opened it.

The tinkling sound stopped for a moment, and then sounded again.

The picture seen through the system finally appeared in front of my eyes. The light bulb that was automatically turned on before I went out last time was shaking like crazy.

The filament flickered and made a very subtle hissing sound.

In addition to this, there was another light bulb wiggling, only to a lesser extent and seemed weaker.

The light from a small lamp in the living room crept in, making the darkness pervading the side sleeper less profound.

Li Yu touched the wall and asked the system, "1551, is there no light switch in the room?"

1551 said, "To be precise, there is no circuit switch."

Li Yu didn't believe in evil, and walked around the wall. The system didn't talk nonsense, it really didn't.

A thought flashed in his mind, he stood on tiptoe, grabbed a light bulb and touched it along. The connection to the ceiling was not an electric wire at all, but a thin nylon thread.

In a daze, a pair of arms came up from behind.

Li Yu was so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot.

Degree's chin rested on the young man's shoulder, "Are you afraid?"

Li Yu swallowed, "Not afraid, just curious."

He straightened up, raised his hand to hold a light bulb, twisted it lightly, and the light bulb fell into the palm of his hand.

With the dim light in the living room, Li Yu was sure that there was nothing in the light bulb.

Degree hangs the light bulb back, puts his arms around the young man's shoulders and walks out, "There is something inside, but you can't see it."

The biting coolness climbed up his back, Li Yu subconsciously turned around, everything in the house was still.

Until, the two walked out of the room side by side and closed the door.

The moment the door lock fell, the jingling sound in the room that died down came alive again.

The target is not joking, with him around, the thing hidden in the light bulb will not dare to move, keep quiet, once he leaves, they will be agitated like crazy.

The thing in the light bulb is scared, because he is an island tyrant.

Li Yu grabbed the man with his backhand, "Why can't I see?"

Degree said, "No reason."

Curiosity turned into a cat's paw, scratching at Li Yu's heart, liver and lungs, "What's hidden in the light bulb?"

"Are you sure you really want to know?" Degree said, "You'll be shocked."

Li Yu said firmly, "No, I am very courageous."

The air fell into silence, and the man squeezed out the word Sichuan between his brows. The young man followed suit, turned to face him, and expressed his position with the same expression.

After a stalemate for nearly 5 minutes, the youth won.

Degree, "Most of the light bulbs in the side sleeper are empty, only a few are filled with human souls."

Li Yu was completely stunned.

It is not a scientific frontier, but a feudal superstition.

Goosebumps crawled up his ankles, Li Yu clenched his hands into fists, and his throat was blocked, "Brother Wu told me before that there were a few unconscious people in the town. Are they here too? And the owner of the canteen And Kim..."

"Yes." Degree's tone was calm, without indifference or fear, it was a kind of indifference that had nothing to do with me.

Li Yu's mind was a little messed up, he didn't expect that there would be such a big secret hidden in the room, if he hadn't experienced many battles, if he were any ordinary person, he would have been scared to pee by now.

Sitting down, put your arms on the armrest of the sofa, "I didn't intend to tell you, but you are always curious about lying on your side."

He folded his legs, his expression and tone were very disgusting, "Scared? I'm afraid there's nothing I can do, I won't let you go."

Seeing that the man is a strong man, he must be panicking to death, Li Yu deliberately asked, "If I have to leave, will you kill me?"

Degree's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, eyes were slightly squinted, and his cold gaze turned into a poisonous snake that spit out a letter, climbing from the young man's ankle to his chest.

Li Yu was calm and unafraid, the corner of his mouth moved, and he suddenly grinned.

Caught off guard, the degree was stunned by this bright smile.

"I know, you won't." Li Yu threw himself on the man, turned his face, and put his ear to his chest, "The heartbeat is so fast, you must be frightened."

The blue veins on the horizontal forehead are protruding and throbbing violently, gnashing his teeth, "Lin Zhouzhou, is it fun to play tricks on me?"

Li Yu said it was not fun, so he changed his posture and sat cross-legged on the sofa, facing the man face to face.

"I know you didn't kill people." He said firmly, "So how did their souls get into the light bulb?"

This is so magical that even metaphysical science cannot explain it.

"Because of obsession." Degree leaned closer, the tip of his nose lightly brushed against the side of the young man's neck, and suddenly opened his mouth to bite down.

Li Yu groaned in pain, subconsciously trying to escape, but was blocked by the man's arm, and pinned tightly on the sofa.

"If you want to leave, I don't want to listen to it a second time." Degree bit a piece of skin, sucking retaliatoryly.

Li Yu tried his best to look down, but he could only see the man's distinct jaw. That sharp line, like his master, hid danger and coldness under the skin.

He nodded, thinking that the other party could not see, he hummed twice.

Enough sips, hugging the man in his arms, rubbing his chin on his head, "Not just Boss Jin and Zhang Chengcheng, everyone in this town is potentially dangerous, don't explore the so-called secrets, this one It will put you in danger."

After finishing speaking, I felt that my tone was too harsh, and added two words bluntly, "Be obedient."

Li Yu looked up at the man's chin, which was not as clean as it was in the morning, with green stubble emerging.

He stretched out his hand to rub it a few times, and it was a little prickly. Big brother, it is inconvenient for you to reveal too much in a vest. I understand, but I have no choice.

Let alone a pool of muddy water, there are cliffs ahead, mountains of knives and sea of ​​fire, and I have to jump in with my eyes closed.

This kind of professionalism cannot be found in the whole administration.

Thinking about it, Li Yu respected himself, straightened his back, brightened his eyes, and cleared his mind, and naturally remembered the topic that was interrupted before.

The target said that the reason why those souls got into the light bulb was because of obsession.

What obsession?Could it be that these people dreamed of being Aladdin's wishing lamp before they fell into a coma or died?

Li Yu couldn't help but shuddered twice at the thought that the boss of the canteen had such a dreamy wish.

He couldn't think of a reason on his own, so he asked the degree.

The degree said frankly, "The light bulb is not a tungsten wire, but a very high-purity gold wire. At first, it was only used for decoration. Suddenly, one day, a soul was added to one of them, followed by the second, and the third... …I guess they were attracted by the gold."

He propped his chin with one hand, and said with sarcasm, "After these souls go in, they can't come out again. At the beginning, they will struggle. After a long time, when they get tired, they will gradually quiet down."

The man sat quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but there was no smile in his dark eyes.

Li Yu suddenly felt cold, and when he looked down, a layer of goose bumps appeared on Lulu's arm, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

The man's hot palm rubbed back and forth on the young man's arm, and his tone was gentle, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No more." Li Yu shook his head desperately.

This time the target didn't show too much danger in front of him, and he almost forgot that after the boss's danger rating, there was a big cross-shaped tail.

Rubbing the young man's hair, he stood up, "Drink some water?"

"Okay." Li Yu was so obedient, he sat up straight with his buttocks on his heels.

It didn't take long for him to collapse on the sofa with a wrinkled face, helpless, it hurts.

This time the matter was a bit ruthless, and even after applying chrysanthemum ointment, it could not be completely repaired. After being an uncle on the bed for two consecutive days, I was finally able to go to the ground.

Early this morning, while the man was going to the bathroom, Li Yu slipped off to work.

The clerk took two days off in a row, and Boss Jin was not unhappy at all. Seeing that the store had been opened ahead of time and started working, she asked with a smile, "I heard that you are sick, Mr. Cheng. Are you feeling better now?"

"It's much better." Li Yu wiped it with a rag as usual, and when he turned his back, he obviously felt a gaze on his buttocks.

He pretended to be holding something, then turned around suddenly, just in time to meet Boss Shang Jin's eyes with thick black eyeliner.

Being caught, Boss Jin didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said solemnly, "I think your legs seem to be a little weak. If it doesn't work, please take another day off and go back to rest."

"It's really not necessary, I'm fine." Li Yu also stared straight at Boss Jin, as if caring, "It's you, you don't look very well, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Probably because of discussing makeup techniques with Sister Lan, Boss Jin's makeup today is more natural than before, especially the lipstick color.

Boss Jin used to have flaming red lips, which he occasionally saw in dimly lit places, especially like a hungry ghost who just ate a child.Today, her lipstick color is much softer.

But these elaborate dresses could not hide the tiredness in her eyes.

Both of Boss Jin's eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he had cultivated immortality last night.

Hearing the young man's question, she rubbed her forehead wearily, "I had insomnia last night, I didn't sleep well."

Li Yu nodded, picked up the items on the shelf and wiped them one by one. When it was a small mirror's turn, he turned his wrist and found that Boss Jin was looking at him again.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze was sharp, and the corner of her lips curled up, revealing a sneer.

Li Yu pretended not to see it, buckled the mirror, and started to wipe other things.

Boss Jin was sitting behind the cash register, holding the account book in one hand, and typing on the computer with the other. She was calculating the total turnover for the past few months.

After Li Yu finished wiping, he went into the room to get the mop, and checked all the corners by the way. The electric drill hidden inside was indeed gone.

It was so loud when using the drill, he was sure no one in the building had ever used that thing.

Could it be that it was lent to someone else?

Rather than guessing by himself, it is better to ask directly, Li Yu went out with a mop and bucket.

When he was dragged to the cashier desk, he suddenly asked, "Boss, I remember seeing an electric drill in the store on the first day I came here. Is it sold?"

Boss Jin was stunned for a moment, "It's sold. It's your first day at work. I sold it when you went back for lunch break."

Li Yu patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death. I thought I lost it, so I never dared to ask."

"Hey, why don't you dare to ask?" Boss Jin smiled, his eyes flicked back and forth between the ledger and the calculator, as if he had forgotten where he had counted.

She clicked her tongue irritably, and started all over again.

Knock knock, someone passed by outside and greeted her, this interruption made her forget where her account went.

Li Yu volunteered, "Boss, how about I help you."

Boss Jin has seen the young man's level of beating on the calculator, so he immediately got up and made way.

When the person was seated, she tapped on the account book, "From this page onwards, all the accounts for the past six months, mainly to see who credited the account, how much credit, and in the middle of the year, I will ask for the money I need." Gotta come back."

"Okay." Li Yu followed the instructions and turned backwards from the middle of the ledger.

Boss Jin's accounts are very detailed, down to a dime. If he hadn't come into contact with the accounts today, Li Yu would have no idea that this grocery store actually does wholesale small commodities.

The wholesale products are all daily necessities, and the goods are shipped at the end of the month, and those who get the goods are small supermarkets and canteens in the town.

Probably in order not to confuse the market, none of the wholesale products are put on the shelves.

It is very likely that on the day when the purchase came back, it was directly given to the orderer.

As the fingers tapped on each key, the calculator kept counting. Li Yu took the time to glance at Boss Jin. The woman was free and was painting her nails, humming an incoherent tune, and she was in a good mood .

After typing a page, it was time to turn the page, she stopped suddenly and warned, "Calculate carefully, don't make a mistake."

"Oh." Li Yu focused on two things, continued typing on the computer in his hand, but his heart was with the system.

"1551, I think it's very strange." He wondered, "Since Boss Jin can ask Zhang Chengcheng to buy low-priced goods and sell them wholesale, why can't other people bypass her and let Zhang Chengcheng buy them back directly to avoid the price difference?"

Before the system made a sound, Li Yu made his own conclusion, "Boss Jin and Zhang Chengcheng have an unusual relationship."

The two of them partnered to monopolize the sales of daily necessities in the small town, so everyone had an opinion on Zhang Honest, not just because of his dejected face.

Looking at it this way, it can be basically concluded that the owner of the canteen, Boss Jin, Jin Guangjin, and Zhang Chengcheng are in the same group.

1551 reminded, "There's still one left."

There were a total of five people who sneaked into each other downstairs that night, and now two are dead and three are still alive.

The town is just that big, and four of the gang of five are known, so it shouldn't be difficult to ask for the last one.

After knocking on the account book three times over and over again, and it was time to get off work, Li Yu didn't go home immediately, but went to the bar next door that just opened.

The fifth child was wiping his work area. When he saw the young man coming over, he shook the rag and sat sideways on the high stool.

"It's been a long time since I saw you." He waved at the young man, and asked with a smirk when he came over, "I heard that you followed Mr. Cheng, is it true or not."

Whether to follow or not, it sounded like being covered, Li Yu said, "Ours is in a relationship."

Realizing that his words were indeed inappropriate, Lao Wu followed suit, "Yes, yes, dating."

He tapped his finger on the bar counter twice, and raised his chin teasingly, "You have to hug your golden thighs, let these locals take a good look, we foreigners will have a day to be outstanding."

Li Yu, "..."

My brother was already drunk before he started drinking.

Li Yu chatted casually with him, looked around, it was still early, and no guests came.

"Fifth brother, is the bar business good recently?"

"What a fart, it's getting worse and worse." The fifth child threw the rag onto the bar and clicked his tongue, "I don't know what's going on, the business of the bar is getting worse day by day recently."

"How could it be?" Li Yu wondered, "Didn't it be fine before?"

"I don't know. It's almost like an appointment. One table less today and two tables less tomorrow. It's so damn evil." The fifth child sighed, and suddenly moved his elbow forward by an inch, "Say it, you boy came to find What on earth do I want to do?"

Li Yu put away his smiling face and said seriously, "I just want to ask you who Zhang Chenggong is familiar with."

"Nobody knows him well."

"Don't people on the island like to form small groups, and Zhang Chengcheng doesn't?"

"Not really." Lao Wu said, "He has always been alone."

Li Yu asked, "What about Boss Jin and Jin Guangjin?"

Lao Wu shook his head, "There are [-] people in the small town, how can I know all of them, no, what do you keep asking about these things?"

"Ask whatever you want."

The target said that everyone on the island is dangerous, naturally including these outsiders, they must be vigilant, not to mention the fifth child who looks like a cow, even Uncle Li will have to be careful in the future.

Li Yu couldn't get anything useful out of Lao Wu's mouth, so Li Yu sat for another 5 minutes before leaving.

As he walked, he thought.

Small groups, they all come together because of their interests. If it is true that Zhang Chengcheng is an unorganized person as the fifth brother said, how can he explain his relationship with Boss Jin?

Every time the transaction is completed, they go their separate ways?

His intuition told him that it shouldn't be possible, they could clearly tell the difference on the surface and hook up in the dark.

This has many advantages. For example, Boss Jin can act as an undercover agent and listen to news from other groups.

By analogy, the owner of the canteen and Jin Guangjin could also be members of other groups, plus the fourth person who has not surfaced, they can hold the inside information of at least four groups.

Fuck, what a scheming.

It really looks like something Zhang Chengcheng can do.

There is also Boss Jin's mysterious electric drill, maybe he didn't sell it at all, but gave it to other people in the underground gang... But what can this thing be used for?

Li Yu suddenly stood still, remembering the padlock in the warehouse that had been snapped off when Jin Guangjin died.
