"Haoning, what happened to Xiao Yuan?" Aunt Zhou looked at Zhou Yuan on the sofa with dull eyes, quietly pulled me outside the door, and asked me in a low voice. .

"What's wrong?" I asked hard.

"These days, I feel that Xiaoyuan is out of his mind, and he doesn't eat well even if he is asked to eat. After eating two bites, he goes back to lie on the bed and doesn't talk to me." Aunt Zhou asked me quietly, "Is it because his work is not going well recently?"

"Well, maybe, then what, Auntie, I have to go back to work overtime, I'm in a hurry.

"Isn't today Sunday?"

"Yeah, there is something temporary"

I ran back home as if fleeing for my life. I was alone at home. I took a large glass of ice water and drank it down. My body became cold immediately, but I was even more upset.

"Is he still like that?" A voice came from the mirror next to the TV.

"Yes." I looked inside, and the mirror was facing me, but there was another "person" besides me in the mirror, but there was no blood on his handsome face. I turned my head to look around, it was empty, I was alone on the sofa.

"You still can't come out?" I said to the mirror.

"No." He looked at me, and brushed my hair in the mirror, and I subconsciously avoided it.

If a week ago, I found someone more in the mirror, I would definitely go crazy, but now, I don't even have the energy to go crazy...

a week ago

Friday afternoon.

"Haoning, what are you going to do this weekend?" Zhou Yuan asked me.

I am an Internet product manager. This sounds tall, but in fact it is hard work. I was scolded by the boss and hated by R&D. Fortunately, I have a good relationship with everyone.

I was sorting out files when Zhou Yuan stuck his head over and asked me the question just now.

Zhou Yuan is the designer of our company. He is from Hunan. He is tall and thin. It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul. The most distinctive feature of his face is the pair of big eyes, but the big eyes It is used for calculation, the pictures made by these eyes are not missing a few pixels, but the color matching is extremely weird. The most special thing is that these eyes can't tell whether the pictures I made are good-looking or not. Make complaints.

Sometimes the director makes a lot of complaints, and he will also criticize me by the way. However, I also admire Zhou Yuan's psychological quality. How much he complained, he forgot in a blink of an eye. And he has a characteristic, he likes to eat very much, he knows all the delicious dishes in S city, as long as it comes to weekends, his job is to eat all kinds of food, so he asked me how I live, basically because there are good things on weekends.

"How else can I live?" I glanced at it, and I was also scolded by the director just now because of him, "The boss just said that I have no feeling for design and can't guide the work of designers, I plan to go to Nanshan on weekends Choose a few design books in the bookstore to improve yourself"

"Hey, don't say that, I think your beauty is okay, besides, there is me, I will help you." His immunity is so strong that he doesn't feel it at all. I touched my forehead and listened to him continue "However, in terms of aesthetics, we just planned to go to Tianmu Lake. The scenery there is very good, and there are hot springs. Not only can you relax your body and mind, but you can also enjoy the scenery and cultivate your sentiment. You have been under a lot of pressure recently, otherwise come with us. Let's play, and, besides, there's plenty of game over there, we can—"

"Can you eat wild game?" I looked at him contemptuously, "Your eyesight? Big eyes, face as big as a pot? You can make a picture wrong by four or five pixels, hey, don't hit me—that's not what I said Yes, it was the director who told you just now—you can still get wild game?"

"Of course I can't do it, but I can ask the local people to do it for us. Who do you think is as big as a pot? I can't get fat no matter how much I eat!" He argued, completely ignoring my point that he made a mistake in making pictures

Anyway, I think it’s a good idea. I’ve been under a lot of pressure recently, especially when I had that weird dream some time ago, and some inexplicable scriptures and gods came out. After reading it, I want to study less ancient myths, so I agreed. Walk together.

Tianmu Lake is a two-hour drive from S City, and Zhou Yuan drove us there. We are also accompanied by our colleague and good friend, Liu Shuai.

Liu Shuai is a top student. He majored in biomedicine at university. He knows everything about the growth of human hair, but he still can't prevent his hair from falling out before graduation. Typical theories cannot guide current practice.

After all hope was lost, Liu Shuai taught himself to be a programmer after graduation, so that everyone would feel sympathetic when they saw him. It is really a waste of brains to do it. You can see that he has lost all his hair in just a few years after graduation.

The car turned around fiercely, and entered a green mountain forest. Inside were villas one by one. There were birds flying in the mountains from time to time. Because we arrived earlier, the mountains were still foggy.

"Sure enough, Birdsong Mountain is more secluded!" After getting out of the car, I took a deep breath of cool air and said with emotion.

"Don't be emotional, let's go into the villa." Zhou Yuan parked the car, greeted us to put our things away, and asked the hotel waiter to open the door for us.

This is a typical hotel-style villa. You can cook in the villa, you can ask local people to do it, or you can do it yourself. The so-called game is probably the "semi-domestic" game that the locals raise in the mountains for tourists to hunt, but it is somewhat different from the game in the farm.

"Brother Wang, you are really amazing. We will have a lot to eat tonight!" I was about to go in when I heard a burst of laughter like silver bells not far away. I looked for the sound and saw three men. A woman came over, one of the men was carrying a few hares in his hands, and the other two men were carrying packages. The woman was very neatly dressed, she looked at them at me, and they also looked at us, but The woman's eyes just saw me frowning slightly, thoughtfully, this expression disappeared for a moment, Zhou Yuan also heard the sound, and hurriedly greeted:

"Sister Lan, it's you!"

Talking and walking over, I am now awkward at the door, thinking whether to enter or pass, while hesitating, Zhou Yuan called me "Hao Ning, let me introduce you", so I had no choice but to go "This is Sister Lan, and I am also a foodie, Sister Lan, this is Haoning, my colleague, Sister Lan, who are these?"

I just took a closer look at these people. This sister Lan couldn't tell the age, and the rest of them looked simple and honest, obviously not talking much. After taking Zhou Yuan's words, sister Lan said, "This is a few of mine. Friends, I also like the air and game here, look—" She pointed to the hare in one of the people's hands, the rabbit didn't seem to be dead, and it would flop around from time to time, "We? Tonight? We have something delicious , do you want us to eat together later, we also brought a lot of food"

"How embarrassing, you don't get paid for nothing." Zhou Yuan laughed.

"You're welcome, let's clean it up first. This is your villa. Let's talk about your affairs at our villa in a while." Sister Lan smiled at me, which is polite, and at the same time pointed to the villa next door to Zhou Yuan.

"That", Zhou Yuan smiled unnaturally when he heard this sentence, "It's still true."

"Of course, silly boy, you are lucky." Sister Lan smiled happily, turned her head and left

"What's the matter?" I felt a little strange and asked Zhou Yuan

"It's okay." Zhou Yuan thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Dude may be about to change his luck."

One afternoon we were playing cards with some people in the room. On the way, Zhou Yuan said that he had something to do with Sister Lan. When he came back, he told us to have dinner with Sister Lan in the evening. Say goodbye to nonsense, he helped Sister Lan kill rabbits and wash vegetables in exchange for a late free dinner.

"Hey, Hao Ning" Zhou Yuan ran over mysteriously and showed me his mobile phone, "What do you think of this app design drawing?"

"Why, it's the weekend, why don't you let people have a good rest?" I took his mobile phone angrily, but I couldn't take my eyes away. The design level of this picture is extremely high, regardless of the color, layout, The details are still perfect, I was worried that I was too subjective to make a wrong judgment, so I handed the phone to Liu Shuai, and Liu Shuai was full of praise after seeing it.

"Okay, you boy." I returned the phone to Zhou Yuan appreciatively, "I'm good at appreciating, I can find such a delicate picture, and copy it according to this level in the future, the director will definitely praise you—"

"Yes, yes." Liu Shuai also nodded in agreement, "Look at other designers, if you have a certain level, no, a third of your level, you won't be complained by everyone."

"Copy a fart" Zhou Yuan curled his lips, "Is this the picture I made just now?"

Liu Shuai was admiring this picture, and when he heard him say that, he looked in disbelief, touched his forehead, and tugged at Zhou Yuan's face: "Are you sick or is a certain great designer wearing Zhou Yuan's mask? We don’t know what level you are? Did you forget that some of our research and development brothers thought your picture was too ugly the night before yesterday and scolded you to death?”

My heart sank, and I thought to myself, Liu Shuai, why don't you open which pot and which pot to mention, and talk about this unhappy topic on the big weekend. Zhou Yuan was often dissed by research and development because the pictures he designed were really not good-looking, and he couldn't come down to the stage. But when faced with a designer saying that his drawings are ugly, which is the greatest personal insult to him, Liu Shuai's words at this time may really make the atmosphere tense.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuan didn't care about it: "That's me in the past, brother is no longer the original me, from now on, brother's design will always live in your hearts."

So nothing happened, we had dinner together in the evening, it was really braised rabbit meat, and local free-range poultry, Liu Shuai had a bad appetite, so he ate some green vegetables, but the meat dishes didn’t move at all, we even joked that this bald man really thought of himself monk

After dinner, the sky was getting dark, and they went to the hot springs. I have some work to do, so I went back to the room first, and planned to deal with it quickly.

Today's data is relatively normal, and it may be processed soon, I said to myself, suddenly the light in the room flickered, as if the connection was bad, I looked up at the light, and suddenly found a person on the sofa in front of me, with a pale face , Smile at me!

"Ah!—" My scalp felt numb and I felt like I was going to explode. I usually heard of stealing things while people were asleep in hotels, but I didn't expect to meet someone here who was still asleep! "Who are you! What are you going to do!"

I involuntarily picked up the notebook, intending him to throw it close to me.

"You don't know me anymore?" He said with a smile, which made me feel cold all over, "You forgot, you wrote a chapter about our meeting and chat and posted it on your official account"

"Ah?" I stared at him, "The devil interviewed Mr. Hao Ning at night? That article was just me writing out my dream experience. Could it be that you are really a devil?"

"Don't talk nonsense, according to the current statement, I am the person in charge of the Soul Reincarnation Dahua District, and my name is Yan." He took out a business card and was about to stand up and hand it to me, but was stopped by my eyes

"Don't try to fool me, what do you want?" I stared at him, but also worried about my personal safety, "I don't do pyramid schemes, I only have 500 in cash, you can take this computer, but let me back up things first , and this phone—”

"Okay, okay, I don't want your stuff, this time I'm here to collect a soul, and then see you here, come and see you" He stood up, stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets, and took out a small bottle with bright lights inside. Bright glows but can't see clearly, "Look, a soul" he shakes the bottle to show me

"... You can starve yourself to death by deceiving people like this." I looked at him contemptuously, "Your deception is on par with Master Wang Lin, what's the matter, let me see if you become a snake?"

He smiled awkwardly and walked towards me, "I forgot one thing, you can't see this now"

"What are you doing!" I yelled, clutching the notebook in my hand, ready to attack at any time.

"You are awake when you are asleep, but you are more stubborn when you are asleep. I don't know how it could be you." He frowned and snapped his fingers. I suddenly found myself unable to move.

He grabbed my hand and put it on his forehead, it was very cold, "Recite this sentence after me - use your magic power"

"Use my supernatural powers? What are you talking about?" I found that I could still speak, and asked involuntarily

Suddenly, I saw that the whole room became less real. The light from the bottle in his hand gradually shrank, slowly gathered into the bottle, and gradually turned into a villain.

As the outline of the villain gradually became clear, I felt more and more cold, and my teeth chattered involuntarily, because I saw this villain crying and looking at me, and the face was someone I was very familiar with: Zhou Yuan!
