The moment he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the dangerous building from the corner of his eye. The entire building blocked out the sunset, and the shadow covering the whole body was like a black coat, hiding unknown secrets. Ren Zhifei shook his head, shook off the chaotic thoughts in his heart and continued walking. Ren Zhifei has been to Zhang Yi's home several times, but this is the first time he has been there alone. Looking at the slightly unfamiliar roads and buildings, Ren Zhifei felt a little uneasy.

He didn't know what drove him to do that. He always felt that there was a knot in his heart, and he had to see Zhang Yi to untie it. Although I really didn’t know what to say when they met, the worst thing I could do was apologize for what happened yesterday.

A familiar figure suddenly passed by in front of him and entered a small alley in the blink of an eye. The sky was getting a little dark, but Ren Zhifei's sharp eyesight made him recognize the black cat that had scratched him. Whether his enemies were extremely jealous when they met each other, Ren Zhifei's mind became hot and he chased after the culprit without saying a word.

As he was chasing him to the corner of the alley, he was unprepared for the figure behind the corner. Ren Zhifei had no time to slow down, and he exclaimed and bumped into the wrong person. The two fell to the ground almost at the same time, and a subtle meow came from Yuanji, which sounded like a mockery to Ren Zhifei's ears.

"Damn it! I didn't open my eyes!" The man yelled, his hoarse and harsh voice filled with anger.

Ren Zhifei apologized repeatedly, but when he looked up and saw the man clearly, Yi Dongzi was shocked. The man in front of him was dressed in rags, his hair was disheveled, his face was so greasy that it was almost impossible to distinguish his appearance, and he sounded like an old man in his fifties or sixties. The old man pointed at Ren Zhifei's nose and cursed, feeling extremely excited.

"It's all my fault! If you don't deny me, he can just... just..." The old man cursed and suddenly squatted down and cried loudly.

Ren Zhifei secretly screamed, maybe he would meet an old madman.

The old madman cried for a while before he stopped. He was heaving and breathing heavily. During the whole process, Ren Zhifei kept squatting on the ground, fearing that any movement would cause the old madman to overreact. The wrong person is an adult. Although he is old, Ren Zhifei still can't guarantee that his wrong leg will be corrected.

Finally, when the old madman came calmly, he stared blankly at the alley behind him and wondered what he was thinking. That was the direction in which the black cat escaped. Ren Zhifei couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, and took advantage of the other party's distraction. How long would it take if he didn't run away now? If he used too much force when he stood up, Ren Zhifei felt his eyes dazzled and hit the wall on one side. The old madman turned his head when he heard the sound and stared at him with burning eyes.

Ren Zhifei was stared at so hard that he asked in a trembling voice: "He... can he leave?"

The old madman looked away, which made Ren Zhifei feel a little more relaxed.

"Go away!" The old madman burst out those two words from between his teeth.

Ren Zhifei felt like he was being pardoned, so he wanted to run away as soon as possible, but his legs became weak, so he used his legs to support the wall and walked back. After walking only a few steps, he suddenly heard the old beggar behind him say "Hey", and then there was wind behind his head, and a black thigh suddenly grabbed his leg.

The old madman stopped in front of him, and a greasy and dirty face came over. Ren Zhifei saw that Wong's eyes were wide open. The eyeballs and the black face merged into one in the shadow, and Wong's jealousy was terrifyingly big. The old madman mentioned the legs and arms scratched by the black cat and asked: "I..."

"Help!" Ren Zhifei almost collapsed, crying Han Xuan broke away from the old madman and ran away.

The old madman chased after him and asked as he ran: "Answer him! Where is the injury on my leg..."

Ren Zhifei was just running for his life, but he couldn't hear clearly what his opponent was saying. He quickened his pace almost without mercy, hoping to get rid of the old madman behind him immediately. What Ren Zhifei didn't expect was that the old lunatic had amazing physical strength. He chased him through three streets without missing a beat. Oddly enough, there were almost no pedestrians along that route. Wherever Ren Zhifei ran, he couldn't even find anyone who could ask for help.

Gradually, Ren Zhifei felt his heart beating hard, his chest seemed to be being hammered continuously, and he could hardly breathe. He knew that he couldn't run anymore. If he went east like that again, the old madman would definitely chase him. At that time, what will he do wrong

Various news reports about madmen kept popping up in Ren Zhifei's mind.

"... On March 28, 2014, a four-year-old girl in City A was brutally killed by a gangster who cut her throat and beheaded her in a park. The police investigation found that the murderer was a patient in a mental hospital... In June 2015, an innocent child in City B was violently beaten by a madman... 2016 In January, a 13-year-old boy in City C was pushed into the river by a madman...he died after ineffective rescue...etc."

For the first time, Ren Zhifei hated that he had such a good memory. The protagonist of the incidents in the news seemed to have become himself. Such random thoughts aggravated his fear and caused his physical strength to drain even faster. Three minutes later, Ren Zhifei finally staggered and knelt down by the wall, retching.

Ren Zhifei was too tired to lift his head when he saw Yong Xuan approaching slowly.

"I... why am I running..." the old madman said angrily: "He just... just wanted to... ask..."

"Found me!" A voice suddenly sounded from the front, and Ren Zhifei felt that the person who shut up had almost no emotion, as if he was mechanically indifferent.

"Damn it!" Old Madman cursed secretly and turned around and ran away. Yongxuan quickly moved away from Ren Zhifei and disappeared on the ground. The turbulence in Ren Zhifei's stomach gradually subsided. He raised his head and saw three or four men in black passing by, chasing the old man in the direction of his escape. In a hurry, he saw the faces of the men in black. Although their appearances were different, their expressions were the same, the same indifference. Even when they were running fast, the faces of the men in black still showed no unnecessary expressions.

At first, Dong Ren Zhifei was the only one left on the street. Only then did he realize that he had actually reached the edge of the city. Buildings were becoming increasingly scarce. Green farmland and golden rapeseed flowers occupied the entire field of vision. Even the sky became broader.

Ren Zhifei had never seen anything like that, except on TV and in photos. After the disaster, he looked at it like this and felt extremely happy at this moment.

I quietly returned home without turning on the lights. When Ren Zhifei saw Liudong's note on the table, he realized that his mother had sent food to his father, who was busy at work, and asked him to eat at home. In this way, his mother didn't notice that he was coming home late, and Ren Zhifei's mood finally improved. At that time, he remembered that he had originally asked to find Zhang Yi, but he had completely forgotten about it because of the old maniac's confusion.

He thought that he hadn't seen Zhang Yi in a day, and strangely, no one in the group mentioned yesterday's adventure tomorrow. Ren Zhifei was worried, so he called Zhang Yi again, but the number was still empty. Last night's dream came to mind like a ghost, and Zhang Yi's frightened expression seemed as if it had never happened in reality. Suddenly, there was a stabbing pain on the back of his leg, and Ren Zhifei saw the bright red scar. The three slender scars looked as if they had been painted on, and the colors were so bright that it was counterintuitive. Ren Zhifei even had an illusion. With the bursts of pain, the color of the scar became darker and lighter.

Ren Zhifei rubbed his eyes and looked at the wound again. The stinging sensation disappeared by then, and the scar looked normal and less brightly colored than before.

For students who are about to take the college entrance examination, having fun all afternoon is no longer a luxury. Ren Zhifei calmed down, opened the book and began to review seriously. The learning time is tedious and long, and there is certainly nothing new about it. During the vacation, Ren Zhifei only did homework and did not review. Occasionally he was lazy and could watch TV at home for a while, and he never even went out. The friends no longer have much contact with each other. They know whether they are learning how to get rid of the tension. Anyway, we can still see each other when we return to school. In this way, the only advantage of vacation over school time is that you can sleep in late.

The seven-day holiday passed so quietly, and the alarm clock rang, which meant that Ren Zhifei finally wanted to return to his school life of getting up early and going to bed late every day.

In the early morning in the city, everything is waking up and the roads are quiet and peaceful. Ren Zhifei has no idea what kind of scary and strange day he will experience.
