Not all of these people with red marks are willing to tell their thoughts, and even if they do, they are selective.
Zhu Haowen was expressionless and didn't say a word, and he was determined not to listen to other people's stories. He walked to his residence after leaving the restaurant.
Xiao Qinxian was a person who firmly believed that she had no animal records. She returned to the police station dormitory by herself with an indifferent expression.
Zhao Yanbao said: "I plan to try to self-precipitate. If others need psychological counseling, I can help."
There are not a few others left: Qin Ci, Yu Ji, Luo Wei.
Luo Wei said that he was exhausted physically and mentally today and wanted to go back to rest. Mu Yiran went to the dormitory with him while he did not "ignore" this partner at the moment.
Yu Ji always followed Qin Ci and refused to leave, as if he regarded Dr. Qin as the only life-saving straw.
Although their hospital colleague Su Benxin was not at peace, after all, he belongs to someone who has no animal records. At this moment, he and his friend Lion were chatting under the street lamp, and patted each other on the shoulder from time to time, as if comforting each other.
Ke Xun and Wei Dong did not leave, and stood under the tall Magnolia tree with Qin Ci.
Yu Ji stood beside Qin Ci like a tail, with an embarrassed expression: "I know I'm a bit redundant, but I don't want to leave Dr. Qin, if I suddenly feel pain somewhere, maybe Dr. Qin can use it soon. A scalpel to clear that thing out would save my life."
Qin Ci wanted to say that he didn't carry a scalpel with him, but seeing Yu Ji's terribly nervous expression, he didn't say anything.
Wei Dong looked at Qin Ci's forehead and remembered the large piece of the animal record that Luo Wei described that covered half of his forehead and spread to his eyes, and felt uncomfortable: "Hao Wen'er doesn't say it, you don't say it, it sounds ugly. Yes, Chi Lei is gone and Zhao Yanbao will untie it for her, if you... I don't even know why you left."
Qin Ci didn't care: "Actually, I don't have any secrets. When Luo Wei mentioned the dark red mark on my forehead, I probably knew what was going on."
Wei Dong was a little anxious when he heard it: "Then why are you still so calm, hurry up and find a way to get rid of the demon!"
"It's not that the demon can be solved by saying that it can be solved," Qin Ci couldn't help but smiled, "Besides, I don't think it's a demon, it's just an unforgettable memory."
"Doctor Qin, I, I... Should I avoid it?" Yu Ji looked at Su Benxin and Lion, who were talking not far away, and seemed unwilling to go there.
Qin Ci was noncommittal: "It's not a secret, and there's nothing to hide. It's been five years since my lover passed away."
Hearing this, Ke Xun was stunned, not knowing how to continue. A person like Qin Ci is kind, thoughtful, patient, and even moderate. In his previous dictionary, such a person belonged to the kind of "highly educated and successful person" who had no bright spots, and he never even guessed that this person would What kind of story is there - maybe in addition to busy work, it is a blind date with a "very decent" lady like a teacher, nurse, civil servant
Qin Ci actually had a lover who had already passed away.
"The lover you're talking about is already married?" Wei Dong couldn't help asking.
"I've got a marriage certificate, but I haven't had a wedding yet." Qin Ci's voice gradually lowered, "She died in an air accident. She flew over from another city to find me for my birthday."
Ke Xun stepped forward and patted his old friend on the shoulder without saying anything.
Yu Ji interjected: "My lover also passed away... Could it be that people like us who have dark marks died because of their lover? That's the case with the out-of-town guy too?"
Ke Xun thought of Luo Wei's situation, nodded, a flash of light-like thought suddenly flashed in his heart, but it went out again, and his attention shifted to the present.
Qin Ci showed his usual kind smile: "Although I have never been able to forget this person, I haven't been obsessed with it, especially recently, I... It seems that I have returned to the way I used to be, with no burden and complete relief. In the past five years , I've never been in such an easy state."
Ke Xun looked into Qin Ci's eyes: "The relaxed state you are talking about refers to the two days in Xincheng, right?"
Qin Ci didn't think deeply about this matter: "Yes, it's these two days."
Pieces of white and thick magnolia petals fell, like snow accumulated in a winter.
Ke Xun seemed to hear his own echo: "You, don't you want to go back?"
Qin Ci: "I'm a person who takes things with me. Besides, isn't it good for us to be here?"
At this moment, Ke Xun was probably the most frightened since he came to Xincheng, although there was only Qin Ci's calm face in front of him.
Wei Dong didn't seem to think so deeply, or maybe he had already been assimilated to a part of the painting, but at the moment he was just dissuading him: "Don't, we have left our hometown, and our temporary residence permit has only been 13 days, or six and a half days to be exact, if we don't find the beast , we might have to fold it here! Besides, you have such a big beast record, if something goes wrong, it will be a big deal."
Qin Ci: "I don't think that the beast represents evil. My beast is just my memory and the past. This fusion with the beast seems to be able to find my original self. I don't believe it will hurt me. - I learned from the data I have seen cases where the beast and the host live in peace for decades."
"Can you calculate the year of the beast?" Ke Xun grabbed this sentence and asked.
"The result may come out tomorrow. Through the invisible texture on the beast's body, we can measure how long the beast has existed in the host's body." Qin Ci seemed to be talking about other people's affairs at this time, "My beast, about five years. ."
The more peaceful and even comfortable Qin Ci was at the moment, the more uncomfortable and even panicked Ke Xun felt.
…
Xiao Qinxian put out the cigarette and went back to his room.
A thunderous phone rang, like a beggar frantically showing off the scrap metal he picked up.
Xiao Qinxian picked up the phone angrily: "Who are you?"
There was a familiar voice over the phone: "It's okay, I'll try the phone."
If others are okay, it is the out-of-towner who I dislike the most! That out-of-towner Luo Wei actually called himself from the next door when he was full!
Xiao Qinxian called directly on the phone: "You are sick!"
After shouting, he was still angry, and ran directly to the next door: "You are harassing!"
In the next room, Luo Wei was still holding the receiver that had not been put down, and Mu Yiran was standing not far from him.
Luo Wei's expression did not change at all due to Xiao Qinxian's madness. At this moment, he faced the person and said, "I'm doing a lie detector test."
"Why are you talking to me like a prisoner!" Xiao Qinxian made a broken voice, not knowing why she was so angry.
Luo Wei remained calm like a robot: "You lied when you said you received a call last night."
Xiao Qinxian was stunned for a moment, and then glared at Luo Wei again: "Thousand! Really! Ten thousand! Indeed! A neurotic man called me last night!"
"The phone ringing is deafening, there's no way we can't hear it." Luo Wei was unhurried.
"Sleep like a dead pig of course inaudible."
Luo Wei bypassed Xiao Qinxian at the door and pointed to a place in the corridor outside: "Last night, at this position, you were smoking, I came out of Mu Yiran's room, and you said you answered a call, the other party You didn't talk all the time, so you unplugged the phone line. - At the time of the call, the three of us were in the room, and it was impossible not to hear the screeching phone ring."
Xiao Qinxian was a little dazed, and even lit another cigarette as if to match the reenactment of the scene: "Yes, I also complained that there is no caller ID on the broken phone..."
Mu Yiran, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up: "There was something wrong with what you said just now. Last night, you said that the person who called you didn't speak, but you just said that the other party was a 'neurotic man'."
Luo Wei's eyes that had been cold and silent finally lit up, he looked at Mu Yiran gratefully, he really didn't dare to hope that this conversation with Xiao Qinxian could be "successfully heard" and "correctly understood" by Mu Yiran.
Mu Yiran, who lived up to his expectations, continued: "Did anyone call? Did the caller speak? What did they say?"
Xiao Qinxian messed up his mushroom head a little irritably, with a cigarette in his mouth, which was the same as what Luo Wei saw last night: "I don't know if there is anyone on the other end of the phone, it sounds vague. It's like the voice from when the radio signal is not working, it seems to be a man, and he can't hear what he is saying. I suspect that the phone is crossed."
"Can't hear a word clearly? It's fine if you can hear a word clearly." Mu Yiran asked.
Xiao Qinxian calmed down for a while before saying, "It seems that two words can be vaguely heard—the left hand, it should be these two words."
After Xiao Qinxian finished speaking, he went out: "I feel very broken, I went to take a bath, you better not ask me a word."
Mu Yi was silent for a while. Looking back, Luo Wei seemed to be writing something repeatedly on a piece of paper. When he walked over to see it, there were traces of no color, just like those left on the pad paper below when a child was doing his homework. Horizontal and vertical imprints.
Mu Yiran took it over and frowned and looked at it for a long time. He couldn't make out a word, but he folded it up and put it in his pocket.
Luo Wei smiled bitterly: "Probably I won't last until the end, and I will collapse first."
"Don't worry," Mu Yiran kept her tone as soft as possible, "I have already heard Xiao Qinxian's words, about the mysterious phone call that we couldn't hear, and the 'left hand' said on the phone, this is the clue, we can already We communicated slightly, didn't we?"
Luo Wei sighed and shook his head. There seemed to be some crystals in his eyes, but they were quickly erased by him: "I can guess the appearance of my beast, it is probably a cornucopia. Hehe, it should be a cornucopia, that scene is in my heart. The haze will linger for a lifetime.”
Mu Yi sighed, but he knew that he couldn't comfort him.
"I'm really tired." Rowe leaned against his bed.
"Rest first, I don't think it's possible that things won't progress."
"Okay, good night." Rowe smiled tiredly.
"Good night." Mu Yiran walked out of the room, thinking about Luo Wei's words, the beast in the cornucopia, his girlfriend who died in a terrible state...
Mu Yiran felt that her heart was tightening little by little, and the memory was like the sound of drums in the distance gradually spreading through her mind, jumping out of the heart city, out of painting, painting, painting, painting...
Mu Yiran suddenly took out the piece of paper from his pocket, and was shocked to find that a series of names were clearly written on the blank paper: Mirren, Kang Lai, Rong Rang, LEX, Luo Bin, Qiu Jian, Li Jinghao.
It's a signature, it's the signature of those painters.
If we want to get out of the painting, we must find the signature!
Luo Wei was racking his brains to remind himself again and again that this was the most fundamental problem!
Everyone who walks into Xincheng has forgotten the way they came and the key to get out in the end.
