The tattooed man felt that he must have offended someone.
Ever since I got home that day, I saw the toy cat smeared with ketchup on the bed, the red pattern on the wooden wardrobe that looked like the footprints of an animal, and the deep scratches on the wooden wardrobe, and the tattooed man started. Who do you think you've offended
There are too many people who are suspicious, after all, those who watch the scene will definitely offend people. Especially the recent conflict between several forces is questionable. However, who will do this in the end, it is not certain for a while. After all, the means of those people will be more direct and bloody, rather than just using ketchup.
people around
The tattooed man shook his head. He had lived here for several years, and the people around him were soft-hearted. He called the Master to beat and intimidate some of the hard-hearted people. Later, those people stopped challenging him.
However, it is not absolutely impossible.
Who on earth is it
The tattooed man couldn't understand. He stabbed the toy cat with ketchup on it with a knife and threw it into the garbage. As for the marks on the wooden wardrobe, after wiping it, he used several layers of newspaper to cover the scratched areas. Covered tightly.
In addition, the tattooed man also changed the door lock of his house. He felt that someone must have obtained the key to his house, or unlocked it by some means.
The next day, the tattooed man went home at the same time. When he was about to open the lock, he held a steel bar in his other hand, and he was afraid that there would be someone in the house. However, before he could insert the key into the door lock hole, he felt something on his feet.
There was no light outside the door, and at this time the other residents were already asleep, and the surroundings were pitch black, only the aperture of the flashlight tucked in the creaking nest shone on the door lock. Just now, he only looked at the door lock, and didn't pay attention to what was on the ground at the door.
The tattooed man has a bad feeling.
He threw the key into his pocket, and took a flashlight.
There was a fluffy toy cat doll at the door. It was smaller than yesterday's. The fur should be white, but there were some red marks on it, especially around the cat's mouth.
The tattooed man's hands trembled, but after watching the scene for so long, it's not necessarily timid.
So he opened the door and walked into the house.
The inside of the house was the same as it was before he went out. There were no scratches on the wooden wardrobe, and there were no suspicious marks on the surrounding ground.
The tattooed man was relieved a lot, and it seems that changing the door lock is still useful.
In fact, Zheng Tan also entered the house this time, but after seeing the door lock, he didn't put anything in the house, nor did he make some tricks in the house. If the tattooed man was in a hurry, he would seal the broken windows. What are you doing when you die
Therefore, Zheng Tan now brings the cat doll over after he has disposed of it, and puts it at the door of the tattooed man's house.
After the tattooed man walked around the house, his guts became fat again. He picked up the toy cat by the aisle door, took a look, sniffed it, and then stuck out his tongue to lick it, it smelled of tomato.
"呲!" The tattooed man pouted, thinking that someone must be playing a prank.
On the third day, when the tattooed man came home, he first shone the torch in his hand on the ground at the door. There was indeed a toy cat doll the same as yesterday, with a lot more red smeared on his body.
After yesterday's experience, the tattooed man was no longer afraid, did not open the door, walked over and picked up the toy cat on the ground. However, when holding this toy cat, all the goose bumps on the tattooed man suddenly appeared.
Not right!
This sticky touch…
The tattooed man moved a little stiffly and took the toy cat doll in his hand and sniffed.
Bloody smell! !
Immediately, the tattooed man felt as if his hands were hot, and threw the toy cat out of his hands.
There was still the lingering bloody smell between his nose, which made the tattooed man remember the cruel and bloody scene he saw in the clubhouse.
After taking a few deep breaths, the tattooed man flashed the flashlight back to his door lock and took out the key.
There is a long red mark on the door lock, as well as claw marks. It's like the trajectory of a cat scratching down from the door lock, but this trajectory is bloody.
This time, Zheng Tan didn't use ketchup. When he went to the School of Biological Sciences during the day, he saw some students in the basic laboratory were collecting blood samples from rabbits. Sodium solution. Heparin sodium has an anticoagulant effect. Zheng Tan often comes here to visit, so he has heard of some.
So, Zheng Tan took advantage of the three tubes while the students were leaving. They were taken away in three times. Zheng Tan could only take one tube away each time, and he had to be careful not to be discovered. There were cameras in the aisle outside the laboratory, so Zheng Tan always walked from the window. Zheng Tan's actions would be inconvenient if he got a few tubes at a time.
When smearing the toy cat with the blood from the plastic tube, Zheng Tan got blood on his palm, so he simply smeared some blood on the door lock of the tattooed man. After finishing, Zheng Tan went to the kitchen sink of the small restaurant to wash his claws with dish soap. Anyway, there were very few vegetables to be washed in the kitchen at that time, and there was no one in the sink.
The fourth day was a similar situation. In addition, the weather has warmed up recently. Some cats that have been in the house for a long time without being quilted ran out again, and began to meow at night. There are not many cats, and most of them are not on the side of the alley. They just come here to play. It is estimated that after a year, there are basically no cats here.
The tattooed man who has been more sensitive to the word "cat" recently, when he comes home at night, when he sees cats running around, he picks up things and throws them away to drive them away. He can't sleep well at home, and he starts to have nightmares. .
When the tattooed man goes out during the day, there are red blood in his eyes.
Residents around the old building area have recently discovered that something is wrong with the tattooed man. This man used to walk sideways with his nostrils facing the sky, but recently when he looks at people, he is always inexplicable, as if he is suspicious of something. You ask, and the tattooed man will yell back with a bad expression, as if he will come up and beat someone in the next moment.
So, recently, when people in the alleys of the old building district saw the tattooed man, they just walked around and never met him face-to-face. This man must have a problem with his nerves, and he is not sure what will happen.
On the fifth day, Zheng Tan did not bring a toy cat, only a small bag with several layers.
This time, Zheng Tan didn't hold the small bag, but put a wide rubber band around his neck, and the small bag was tied to the rubber band. Zheng Tan tried to run a few steps, but it didn't fall off.
Although the ribs were uncomfortable, Zheng Tan really didn't want to hold this thing in his mouth. Zheng Tan was also apprehensive about this thing. Even if it was wrapped in a bag, he still felt uncomfortable, so it's better not to touch his mouth. Zheng Tan's hands-on ability is not strong, and he can only think of this simple method of carrying.
The bag contained a few small mushroom-like things. These things were obtained by Zheng Tan from the small flower garden of old man Lan. The flower shed where these things are grown strictly controls the temperature and humidity, so the doors of the flower shed are usually closed tightly, but Zheng Tan often In the past, I also knew that one day a week, the old man Lan would sample the soil in the flower shed to check the pH, change in soil element ratio, etc. After sampling all the flower sheds, the doors of the flower shed would be closed uniformly.
And Zheng Tan went in when the old man Lan went to take samples from other greenhouses.
I found out that the things in this are also the things that Zheng Tan overheard Old Man Lan instructing the students when he came to play once, and only then did he know what was planted in some special flower sheds.
The mushroom-like thing that Zheng Tan got, the origin is not in Huaxia, and it was introduced. Old man Lan got it from a friend. Since this plant belongs to the symbiotic category, Old Man Lan specially planted it in the flower shed. There are some other tree species, but due to the size of the greenhouse, it is not possible to plant very large trees. Later, old man Lan found that no matter how to adjust the temperature and growth environment, these imported varieties have not been cultivated well, they are always small and do not grow well, but the toxicity is still there.
It contains hallucinogenic neurotoxins. People who eat it by mistake will have hallucinations and feel that the surrounding things are magnified. There are very few examples of death, and only a few are not fatal.
The onset time is within thirty minutes to two hours after consumption, and the patient will experience obvious dizziness, vomiting, hallucinations, etc.
At that time, Zheng Tan was lying on top of the flower shed, listening to Old Man Lan's explanation and thinking that it was really magical. When he decided to teach the tattooed man a lesson, Zheng Tan thought of the many poisonous plants in several flower sheds with warning signs by the old man Lan, including belladonna. Not bad can kill.
However, Zheng Tan finally chose this one, and the old man Lan said it was called an umbrella. Leave it alone, just know how it works.
At 7:30 in the evening, Zheng Tan came to the tattooed man's house with a bag.
The tattooed man would leave for his workplace between 8:30 and 9:00. Before that, the tattooed man would take a bath, make a bowl of instant noodles, drink a cup of tea, and then leave. Every day.
After Zheng Tan arrived, he waited outside for a while, and then heard the sound of a tattooed man in the kitchen taking out a bucket of instant noodles.
The tattooed man poured the boiled water in the electric heating cup next to it, took out the half bag of braised pork that he brought back from the clubhouse yesterday, and put a few pieces of meat into the instant noodle bowl and stirred it.
After soaking on it, the tattooed man went to the toilet to take a shower.
Zheng Tan came in through the broken window, carefully poured a few small "mushrooms" in the small bag, and stirred with a fork.
The instant noodles are spicy and spicy. The red oil wraps the braised pork and "mushrooms" inside, and it is not easy to see the abnormality of "mushrooms" after soaking for a while.
Zheng Tan put the fork and the like back in its original place, and the bag containing the "mushrooms" was also rolled up and inserted back into the rubber band. Hearing the movement on the other side of the toilet, Zheng Tan jumped out of the broken window and squatted on the outer wall to look at the tattooed men's bedroom.
In the dark night, the scene outside the window cannot be seen from the inside, so when the tattooed man returned to the bedroom with instant noodles to eat, he did not notice that there was a cat watching him outside his window.
The tattooed man was absent-minded. He didn't know if he would see the same scene as the days before when he came back in the early morning tomorrow, so he didn't pay attention to the things in the instant noodles that were different from the braised pork.
After watching the tattooed man finish eating, Zheng Tan left here and came to the place where tattooed men must pass - the pee spot.
Behind the blocked wall is the rubbish piled up by the residents. Inside these rubbish, there are a few bottles of beer that Zheng Tan "brought" from the small restaurant. Fortunately, the small restaurant is not far from here, otherwise Zheng Tan would not have gone to get beer in glass bottles.
Zheng Tan "walked" here by holding a beer bottle in both hands and standing on two legs. Fortunately, the action was at night, and no one saw it, otherwise it would be regarded as a monster. How can there be a cat that walks on two legs like a human with a bottle of wine
No one thought it would be a cat stealing the wine. After all, ordinary cats don't have the strength to transfer an unopened bottle of beer.
He put the hidden bottles of beer on the wall that blocked the road, and then Zheng Tan squatted behind the wall, standing on the debris, with only one head exposed, looking at the fork. The rubber band and bag around the neck have long been thrown away, and now the final stage is ready.
After a while, Zheng Tan saw that familiar figure. And the tattooed man seems to be drunk and walks unsteadily.
It seems to have started to have an effect.
The tattooed man walked over here, muttering something in his mouth. Zheng Tan couldn't hear it clearly, and he didn't care. He just stared at the figure that came over.
The tattooed man came to the familiar wall, and there was also the familiar smell of urine. The tattooed man didn't know what to think, hehe smiled, then unbuttoned his pants and started to pee, peeing, the tattooed man suddenly supported the wall, "Wow" he vomited.
I haven't finished urinating yet, I really vomit up and down.
Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, the smell was really unpleasant.
The tattooed man's consciousness has begun to blur, the surroundings are very dark, and he can't see anything. He supported the wall for a while, rested for a while, and was about to leave. He didn't pull up his pants, he probably forgot.
Just after taking two steps, there was a sudden "bang" sound at the foot, which was quite harsh in the silent night.
At the same time, fragments of the beer bottle exploded in all directions. Although the tattooed man was wearing thicker clothes, his hands were exposed, and several bloodstains were now scratched by the fragments. The trousers were not pulled up, and the crumbs were stuck in the bottom of the thigh, and the job was almost scratched off.
The tattooed man's reaction was much slower. He felt that everything around him became unfamiliar, and he seemed to have come to a strange and hopeless place, surrounded by high copper walls and iron walls.
Where is the way out? !
Can you escape there? !
"Ow-"
The abrupt cry was especially scary in such an environment, and the tattooed man looked around in horror. He felt that there seemed to be a beast hidden outside the "copper wall and iron wall" around him, looking at him, while he was small. It doesn't seem worth mentioning.
On the other side of the intersection, another resident came back riding a small electric motor, and the dim light of the car light made the side light a little brighter for a second or two.
And in these two seconds, when the tattooed man looked around with a blurred line of sight, he saw a pair of bright eyes on the "copper wall and iron wall", glowing with dim light, especially striking against the surrounding black background. And the hallucination made him feel that the eyes he saw were like huge searchlights.
"Ow-"
Hearing the cry again, the tattooed man shuddered, his forehead was covered in sweat and some blood from being scratched.
boom!
Another explosion sounded. The wine bottle burst right next to the tattooed man's feet.
The tattooed man felt like he was scratched by something on his hands, face, and legs. It was very painful, burning pain, but his hands and feet didn't obey him, so he couldn't react.
The tattooed man was lying on the ground, holding his head and curled up into a ball, shaking all over.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The crackling sound came one after the other. It hit his eardrums, irritating his nerves.
In the already chaotic consciousness, certain emotions suddenly became sharp.
Must be that monster!
right! Definitely the monster with eyes like two big searchlights!
Every time the explosion sounded, the tattooed man felt that the footsteps of the monster were approaching, and then he would be injured, as if the next moment he would be torn to pieces and ground into flesh.
"Meow-meow-meow-"
After Zheng Tan threw the wine bottle, he was looking at the shivering people curled up in a ball on the ground when he suddenly heard a cat meowing. this sound...
The tattooed man on the ground heard the cat meowing, and suddenly remembered the toy cat that had been placed in front of his house recently. I remembered the kittens that fell to their death some time ago.
Is it because of those cats that this big monster found him
Cats, blood, meowing, and other related or unrelated things that made him afraid all came to his mind one by one, and the burning pain in some parts of his body was getting stronger and stronger, and the pain made him want to scream. When he came out, he actually only made a humming sound. It felt like a pair of big feet were stepping on his body, which was too suppressed to vent.
The human brain is a wonderful thing. You always think you have forgotten things, but at some inadvertent moment, you remember the forgotten part, or, under the stimulation of some environmental factors, fade those things down. The fragments are spliced together, slowly and clearly in my mind.
And the things that come to mind at this time, it will not be as easy to forget as the first time, it will take a few months, or a few years, or, in serious cases, a conditioned reflex will be formed for the rest of this life. Once there are environmental conditions similar to that time and some familiar factors around, the brain will uncontrollably search for those pictures from the depths of your memory that you have always wanted to bury, and remove those things you never want to recall from your memory. If you pick it up in the deep sea, those pictures you can't avoid will rage like a storm until you get another impression.
Perhaps, after the toxins on the tattooed man's body are metabolized and the hallucinations disappear, he will tremble when he hears the cat's meowing and the cracking of the bottle again. He will recall his own feelings at this time, right
Zheng Tan glanced at the person who was still curled up and twitched, jumped off the wall, and left.
The body is full of alcohol, so blow it before going home.
Thinking about it, Zheng Tan walked along the wall to the outside of the alley. Before taking a few steps, he saw a cat squatting on the outer wall of the fork.
It's the big white cat.
Zheng Tan doesn't know why it came here at this time, is it a coincidence or some other reason
"Meow-"
The big white cat barked at Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan paused, raised his chin, slowly wagged his tail, and walked away.
