Yi Xinhe went home after coming out of the police station.
Although he did not face any terrifying creatures directly today, Wei Zhimao's death still left some psychological shadows on him. Even if he has been through a hundred battles, he is still not a monster that is related to heretical things like the Monitor. He is just an ordinary person, in the final analysis, he is just more knowledgeable than others.
How Wei Zhimao died is still a mystery, but you don't have to think about it, it must have something to do with those things.
When he got home, Yi Xinhe turned on the TV, took out the black notebook he carried with him, and began to record what happened today. He lowered his head and wrote stroke by stroke, with a very serious expression.
A boring program was playing on the TV. When Yi Xinhe wrote about the part about going to Wei Zhimao's house to search, he heard a knock on the door.
Yi Xinhe was suddenly a little strange, and looked up at the door. He lives alone, and it's almost twelve o'clock now, who would open the door at such a night
Yi Xinhe stood up, walked to the door, and saw a thin girl standing outside through the cat's eyes.
Seeing that it was a little girl, Yi Xinhe lost most of his vigilance. He reached out and twisted the door handle and asked, "Who are you? Do you have anything to do with me?"
The little girl was very thin, and she had not yet reached Yi Xinhe's chest, and her wrists looked much slender than ordinary people, like a firewood and matchstick, and looked completely non-threatening, the little girl said, "Are you Yi Xinhe? ?"
Yi Xinhe said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I have something to tell you." The little girl said, "Can I go in and talk?"
Yi Xinhe hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's not very convenient, you can talk about it here." He paid more attention. There is surveillance in the corridor. It is easy for people to misunderstand this lonely man and widow in the same room. .
"Okay." The girl seemed a little unhappy, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she whispered, "Did you go to the old city during the day?"
Yi Xinhe's expression condensed: "Who are you? How did you know?"
The girl said, "I have clues that you want to know. Are you really not letting me in?"
Yi Xinhe said: "... No, you just said it here." The bad feeling made him decide not to give in on this matter.
"It's a pity," the girl said.
This sentence immediately made Yi Xinhe vigilant.
Yi Xinhe carefully looked up and down the uninvited guest. It's okay if he didn't look carefully, but when he saw it, he found something wrong. The girl was wearing a pair of red high-heeled shoes. The shoes looked like It looked very familiar. It was the style of the countless identical shoe cabinets they saw on the opposite building during the day. Seeing this, Xinhe immediately took a step back, made a defensive gesture, and shouted, "Don't move!"
The girl stopped walking forward, raised her eyes to look at Yi Xinhe, her expression looked very innocent, as if Yi Xinhe's nervousness was superfluous.
"What are you doing here?" Yi Xinhe said, "No—no, how did you know I live here?!"
"If he wants to know, he will," said the girl. "Of course he told me."
"It??" Yi Xinhe said, "What is it?!"
The girl smiled: "It is me, I am it."
When she said this, she had an illusory smile on her face. This kind of smile was very familiar to Xinhe, and he had seen it on the faces of those people in the old building.
In an instant, Yi Xinhe's sixth sense began to call the police frantically. The girl who seemed innocent and vulnerable just now was full of danger. Yi Xinhe has seen a lot of heretical things, and naturally he has also been in contact with their companions. He knows how terrifying these people are. Even to a certain extent, the harmfulness of some heretical things is completely reflected in the infection they are infected with. on the companion.
"Go out! You go inside again, I'm welcome!!!" Yi Xinhe reached out and grabbed the door handle, wanting to pull the door back and lock it, but who knew that the little girl grabbed his wrist as soon as he stretched out his hand Stopped, Yi Xinhe wanted to shake off the conditioned reflex, but found that the girl was very strong, just stretched out his hand and pushed him, as if he was hit by a cow, he stumbled and was forced to take a few steps back. .
With a click, it was the sound of the door closing. Yi Xinhe raised his head in horror and saw the girl closed the door.
She walked into the room, sniffed, smiled and said, "It's really fragrant."
Yi Xinhe didn't understand what it meant, he quickly ran to the sofa, grabbed the mobile phone on the sofa, and wanted to dial 110, but before the call could be dialed, something rang from behind him, very strange sound. It was like the sound of meat being torn apart, accompanied by the sticky clack of the floor, Yi Xinhe smelled a strong bloody smell, the phone was just connected, Yi Xinhe saw the floor as soon as he heard a hello. Countless dense shadows appeared.
Yi Xinhe froze in place, he turned his head blankly, and found that in his room, there were dozens of human beings who appeared out of nowhere. They stared at him with inorganic eyes, as if … staring at a dead man.
And the girl who entered the door just now has turned into countless pieces of broken meat, covering the entire floor.
===============
Ji Leshui took a night shift today, and it was a little late when he came home.
If their community is quiet, it is really quiet. After all, there are not many living people in the entire community. After these days, Ji Leshui has long been used to it.
But today is rather strange. When Ji Le was on the water floor, he actually met someone waiting for the elevator with him. He was a little curious and thought to himself which unlucky person was this. Like Lin Banxia, he accidentally bought a room and The ashes make the neighbor's house
The two entered the elevator together. Ji Leshui watched him press the elevator button, but what he didn't expect was that the person pressed the number thirteen. Ji Leshui was even more confused. The thirteenth floor was the floor where they lived. He was absolutely sure that there were no other residents living there besides them. What was this person doing on the thirteenth floor? Could it be Song Qingluo's friend
Ji Leshui became more concerned, and he deliberately slowed down the steps under his feet, so that the man got out of the elevator first. Unexpectedly, after this person got out of the elevator, he walked all the way to the place where they lived, stopped in front of the door of 1303, and raised his hand and started knocking on the door.
I don't know if it was Lin Banxia and the others who weren't at home. After knocking for a while, no one opened the door. Just when Ji Leshui was thinking about going forward to ask, the door creaked open, and Xiao Hua's cute little head came out of nowhere. Inside out.
Ji Leshui was still watching quietly at the end of the corridor, but when he saw Xiaohua, he immediately became anxious, thinking how Lin Banxia was educating her sister, can this open the door for people she doesn't know casually? If it were a bad person, wouldn't it have to happen on the spot
Ji Leshui was about to step forward to stop it, but found that the person who was knocking on the door just now took a step back, and the originally peaceful expression brought a sense of panic, as if he was scared by Xiaohua.
Xiaohua's soft voice sounded: "Do you want to come in?"
"No... No need." The man turned around, and in Ji Leshui's inexplicable eyes, he rushed over at a very fast speed, and bumped Ji Leshui who was standing beside him peeking.
Just as Ji Leshui was about to ask him what was wrong, he saw him enter the elevator in a panic, tapping the elevator buttons like a madman, as if a ghost was driving him away.
From the beginning to the end, Ji Leshui was inexplicable. He turned his head to look at Xiaohua, and saw Xiaohua standing at the door looking at him innocently, with an expression that he didn't know what happened.
"Xiao Hua!" Ji Leshui walked over, "How can you open the door for strangers casually!" He said, but he couldn't help but reach out and hug the little girl, pinching her soft cheeks, "What if it's a bad guy?!"
"It's not bad, it's not bad." Xiaohua said vaguely, "Hey, I'm not pregnant..."
Ji Leshui didn't understand her next sentence, and he didn't care. He took out his mobile phone, called Lin Banxia, and asked where he was.
Lin Banxia said that she was in the hospital. Ji Leshui heard it, "What are you doing in the hospital? Are you sick?"
Lin Banxia said, "No, go see a friend."
"It's so late." Ji Leshui said, "Can't you go tomorrow? Someone suddenly came and knocked on your door just now. Xiaohua didn't know anything, and he opened the door for someone - come back quickly."
Lin Banxia immediately said yes.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Banxia looked at Song Qingluo. He was talking to Lu Yinyin's mother at the moment. Lu Yinyin's mother said that someone had come to visit Lu Yinyin at night, but it was not a stranger, but a classmate of Lu Yinyin University, because When she was not there, the nurse stopped the classmate.
"Is there something wrong with her?" Lu's mother wondered, "She does know my Yinyin."
"Don't let unfamiliar people contact Lu Yinyin for the time being." Song Qingluo said, "She is in a very dangerous situation now."
Mother Lu said, "What the hell is going on here?"
Of course, Song Qingluo couldn't explain it to her one by one, so she simply took out her mobile phone and asked Li Su to send a few people over. Lu Yinyin watched and left. On the way back, Lin Banxia told Song Qingluo what happened at home, and Song Qingluo's expression suddenly became solemn: "Go back first."
Lin Banxia said yes.
Both of them felt that the situation was not good. Based on Ji Leshui's description, Lin Banxia determined that the person did not know him. An unknown person suddenly came to the door and saw Xiaohua as if he had seen a ghost. Obviously, it was not a good thing. . Lin Banxia recalled the theory about ants that Song Qingluo talked about before going out. If those people really came to the door, could it be that they came to the door just because they had touched those sticky ones? Liquid like syrup? But the two of them are not the only ones who have touched this liquid, aren't the others also dangerous? !
Song Qingluo obviously also thought of this, and she took out her mobile phone and continued to make calls.
First, Sun Shui, after confirming that he was all right, called Li Xinyu and Yi Xinhe. Li Xinyu's phone got through, but Yi Xinhe was out of contact. Song Qingluo called more than a dozen times. , all went unanswered.
Song Qingluo said, "I have to go and see."
Lin Banxia said: "Let's go together, that person has already come, Ji Leshui is at home, there should be nothing to do."
"Also." Considering Xiaohua's particularity, Song Qingluo felt more at ease.
Fortunately, Yi Xinhe's house was not far from here. Twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived at his door and knocked on the door for a while, but no one came to open the door, but it made the neighbors noisy.
"Where are you looking for someone?" The neighbor raised his head and came out.
Lin Banxia said, "Well, looking for our friend, have you seen him? He hasn't answered the phone, we're a little worried."
The neighbor hesitated for a moment: "You...are you with that group of people?"
Lin Banxia was slightly taken aback: "That group of people?"
"Yeah," the neighbor said. "The group just left, there are dozens of people."
Both Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo's expressions changed, Song Qingluo said, "How long have you been gone?"
"Five or six minutes," the neighbor said. "When he came, there was no movement, and when he left, he was noisy, as if he had just started a party... Maybe he went out with that group of people?"
Song Qingluo didn't ask any further, turned around and went to Yi Xinhe's door, and started banging heavily on the door. He was so strong that he quickly knocked the lock of the security door out of shape. The neighbors were frightened by them and shouted that they would call the police, but Lin Banxia didn't have time to talk to him.
However, as soon as he knocked on the door, Lin Banxia had a bad premonition the moment he entered the house. He smelled a sweet smell, and this sweet smell was mixed with a touch of blood.
"Yi Xinhe?!" Song Qingluo called Yi Xinhe's name and quickly checked several rooms, but did not see anyone from Yi Xinhe.
Lin Banxia looked for the smell and walked into the kitchen. He sniffed and determined that the smell was emanating from several jars in the kitchen. This jar is used by ordinary people to make pickles. At this time, it exudes a strong sweetness that is almost breathless. Lin Banxia hesitated for a moment, and reached out to open the lid. Suddenly, the sweetness in the air became stronger. Xia coughed a few times, almost unable to breathe due to the smell.
"Cough cough, cough cough!" Forced to take a step back, Lin Banxia saw the contents of the jar through the light.
It was a jar of clear liquid, yellow and transparent, somewhat like honey, but not as thick as honey. Lin Banxia glanced at it carefully, and immediately noticed something was wrong. On the liquid, there was something that looked like hair floating indistinctly. It looked like human hair.
"Qing Luo!!" Lin Banxia yelled.
Song Qingli rushed over, and he seemed to feel that the smell was a bit irritating, so he blocked his nose with his hand, and when he saw the liquid in the jar, his brows instantly wrinkled, and he said, "...No more. "
Lin Banxia said, "Is Yi Xinhe gone?"
Song Qingluo spit out a word: "Well." He took out the mobile phone he found in the living room, "The mobile phone is still there, he must not go out, this thing..."
He didn't say anything later, Lin Banxia knew very well that this pot of things had an inseparable relationship with Yi Xinhe.
Just as the two were talking, the police called by the neighbors also came. Song Qingluo negotiated with them, but she was not held responsible for the illegal intrusion, and she also got the right to watch the surveillance.
The two went directly to the property management and saw the surveillance video. In the monitoring, the entire process of the incredible incident was completely recorded.
A girl knocked on the door of Yi Xinhe's house and went in for about half an hour. When the door opened again, the girl was gone. Instead, there are a total of twenty-three people dressed in very similar looks. The video was a bit blurry, and it was hard to see their faces. Lin Banxia noticed that their movements were almost identical, one after the other, like a series of... black ants.
Yi Xinhe didn't go out, so he disappeared into the house like this. The police wanted to ask if the security monitoring had been modified, but the police station called and said that someone took over the case and let him leave it alone for the time being.
Lin Banxia guessed that it might be Sun Shui's side. Sure enough, after about half an hour, Sun Shui came panting and said, "What's the situation? How is Yi Xinhe?"
Song Qingluo said, "Check the hair in the two jars of candy in his house."
Sun Shuiqi was taken aback: "Ah?"
Song Qingluo pinched the corners of her eyes: "You'll know when you see it."
Sun Shui hurried upstairs and saw the two jars of candy, as well as the hair floating on the candy. He is also an old policeman, and when he saw this scene, he immediately understood something: "No way?!!"
Song Qingluo stood beside him without saying a word.
Sun Shuiqiang smiled and said, "Turn people into two jars of sugar water... too..." He couldn't go on. This is beyond common sense, but things like heresy cannot be explained by common sense.
Some things, it's better not to think about it, the more you think about it, the more creepy people feel. Originally, they all thought that the sticky liquid on the objects they touched was melted sugar, but now looking at Yi Xinhe's fate, some bad associations came up.
Lin Banxia stood by and didn't speak until Sun Shui took the sugar jar away, and he whispered, "This incident is really bad..."
Song Qingluo said lightly, "When you find a few ants at home, it means that you already have an ant nest in your home." The worst thing is that you don't even know where the ant nest is and how big it is.
Lin Banxia: "What should I do now?"
Song Qingluo: "Go back and rest."
After running back and forth a few times, it was almost three o'clock in the morning. He could make it, but Lin Banxia couldn't. Besides, Lin Banxia didn't sleep well yesterday.
On the way back, Song Qingluo contacted Li Su and asked him to protect everyone who had been in contact with sugar, including Li Xinyu and Sun Shui's assistants. He also mentioned Yi Xinhe's death.
Death is a common occurrence for them to come. Li Su was calm the whole time, and repeatedly confirmed whether they needed to send more staff.
"No need for now." Song Qingluo said, "If necessary, I won't be stubborn, but we may need some weapons, you can help me apply for it, send it over as soon as possible, we will go there tomorrow to see Happening."
Li Su said yes and hung up the phone.
Lin Banxia said: "This matter involves a lot of people..." According to today's video, the people who came out of Yi Xinhe's house did not seem to live in the same place, and even scattered after getting off the elevator. And go. This situation is terrifying. Lin Banxia can't imagine how many people in this city have been affected.
Song Qingluo said, "There will always be a solution."
Lin Banxia: "How many times have you encountered such a situation?"
Song Qingluo: "Not much, three or four times."
Lin Banxia snorted.
Song Qingluo sighed: "But every time..." He didn't want to say any more and fell into silence.
Lin Banxia shook his hand and whispered, "It's okay, I'm here this time."
It was four in the morning when we got home, and the two little ones in the family fell asleep on the sofa. After Lin Banxia took a simple shower, she went to bed with Song Qingluo. The two of them ran for a day and were a little tired. After rubbing their ears for a while, they hugged each other and fell asleep.
Lin Banxia didn't sleep well, and in the mist, she always felt something. Halfway through the sleep, Lin Banxia suddenly woke up once. He opened his eyes in confusion, took a look at his mobile phone, and found that it was just after six o'clock. A golden light appeared from the gap of the curtain, which had just risen. Chaoyang.
It just so happened that Lin Banxia got up from the bed carefully, rubbed her eyes and went to the toilet. He solved the physiological problem lightly, and originally planned to go back to the bed to continue sleeping, but Lin Banxia walked to the balcony and glanced outside.
At this glance, Lin Banxia froze in place.
I saw them downstairs, there were countless people standing densely, men and women, young and old, wearing different clothes, but all of them were doing the same thing - their heads were raised, their eyes were fixed on where they were, and Lin Banxia collapsed. Take a breath.
The next moment, these people seemed to realize that they had been discovered. They lowered their heads and started walking towards the gate of the community. After three or five minutes, they completely disappeared from Lin Banxia's eyes, as if The scene just now was just Lin Banxia's imagination.
Lin Banxia was silent for a moment, and decided to go back to sleep first, and then tell Song Qingluo about it when she woke up.
This sleep, after sleeping until noon, he was awakened from his dream by the smell of the food. Lin Banxia woke up in a daze, saw Song Qingluo's face close at hand, and said vaguely, "Someone is watching us..."
Song Qingluo: "Huh?" He lowered his head, bit the tip of Lin Banxia's ear lightly, and said, "Drowsiness? Good...get up and eat."
The slight tingling and itching at the tip of the ear made Lin Banxia wake up all of a sudden. He opened his eyes wide: "I didn't fall asleep." He sat up and re-described what he saw in the morning to Song Qingluo. Song Qingluo frowned and confirmed, "After they were discovered by you, they left?"
"Yeah." Lin Banxia said, "I left in a unified manner." He behaved like a controlled robot, as if he had completely lost his personal characteristics.
"Should I have called you up then?" Lin Banxia asked.
"It's alright." Song Qingluo was quite indifferent, "It's useless to shout, can it be possible to stop them from leaving? Besides..."
Lin Banxia said, "Besides?"
Song Qingluo said: "Besides, this kind of thing has to start from the source, let's go eat."
Lin Banxia hummed, and after getting up to wash, she simply ate lunch.
Song Qingluo began to arrange the afternoon's itinerary. After Li Su brought the weapons, they planned to go to the old building again.
The author has something to say:
Lin Banxia: I can't do it with so many things
Song Qingluo sprinkled one million in front of Lin Banxia.
Lin Banxia: 0.0 I seem to be able to do it again...
