When the taxi arrived at the place, it was already completely dark.
Xu Wang rented an old community with low floors, only stairs and no elevators.
Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin were familiar with this place, but Chi Yingxue was the first to come. The three partners entered the building door. He was still standing in the dim street lamp, looking up at the whole building, thinking that if he stayed in Beijing tomorrow, maybe he should propose to open a room in a hotel.
He doesn't mind the place where he lives, but this kind of place doesn't have much space at first glance, and it must be crowded with people, so he instinctively rejects it.
Today is no show, and if you mention it, it means you don't fit in with the group. He still understands the truth.
With a helpless sigh, Chi Yingxue walked into the building door.
The sensor lights in the corridor seem to have just been replaced, and they are dazzling and bright, which is very inconsistent with the style of the whole building. As soon as he entered the building, Chi Yingxue was shaken uncomfortably. stairs and on their own feet.
But after looking at it for a long time, the stairs are also dazzling.
When he was halfway to the second floor, Chi Yingxue felt extremely dizzy. He grabbed the handrail of the stairs, ignoring the heavy dust on it, and clenched it tightly to stabilize his slightly shaking body.
Kuang Jinxin, who was walking in front, seemed to feel that something was wrong. When he turned around, he saw Chi Yingxue standing a few steps away, frowning and looking in pain. The joints of his hand on the railing had turned white.
"Chi Yingxue?" Kuang Jinxin called tentatively.
The other party didn't seem to hear at all.
He simply went down a few steps, came directly to Chi Yingxue, raised his hand and touched his arm lightly: "Are you okay..."
"Don't touch me!" Chi Yingxue didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence at all, and pushed the person hard while shouting.
This time he couldn't control his strength at all, and Kuang Jinxin fell directly backwards!
Fortunately, Qian Ai had quick eyes and quick hands, and caught the person before Kuang Jinxin slammed his entire back on the steps, but the fire had already ignited, and he pushed Chi Yingxue with his backhand: "What the hell are you doing!"
Qian Ai scolded him angrily, but he was a teammate anyway.
But Chi Yingxue just fell down.
Although the steps were not high, there was still a "bang" sound, and he fell firmly under the steps, and the corners of the first and second floors were flat on the ground.
Qian Ai looked at Chi Yingxue, who was lying on the ground, and then looked at his hands, frightened.
It's not fucking qigong! ! !
The first person to react was Xu Wang, who ran over in three steps and two steps, helped him up and checked by the corridor light first.
Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai then rushed over, and the three worked together to carry Chi Yingxue into Xu Wang's house.
Unexpectedly, just after putting the person on Xu Wang's bedroom bed, Chi Yingxue suddenly opened his eyes, and then a carp got out of bed and stood there searching the whole house.
Qian Ai swallowed his saliva, pulled his own captain with his left hand, and pulled Jin Xin with his right hand, in order to prevent the other party from retaliation, and he was weak.
Chi Yingxue didn't even look at him, but quickly locked Xu Wang's wardrobe, strode over, opened the door, and took out the things inside, digging out the same thing, and throwing the same thing out.
Xu Wang looked dumbfounded. For the first time, he was beaten and robbed in front of others.
Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai understood.
After all, they had seen it once when they were waiting for mushroom soup in Konina's hut, but at that time, Konina's wardrobe was empty.
"Captain, don't worry, he will be stable in a closed dark space for a while." Kuang Jinxin used his own experience to give his captain a relief pill.
Xu Wang guessed that it should be related to the instability of the dual personality, but what surprised him even more was the calmness of his teammates: "Have you met?"
Kuang Jinxin nodded: "On 6/23, you and Brother Sheng went to the village to find clues. We were waiting in Konina's hut, and this happened to him once."
"boom-"
Chi Yingxue got into the wardrobe that had been hollowed out for the most part, and closed the door from the inside.
Xu Wang saw the chills on his back, knowing that his teammates had dual personalities, which was completely different from seeing it with his own eyes.
"Yes... Hades wanted to change it out?"
"To be precise," Qian Ai said rigorously, "one wants to transform, one doesn't want to transform, one is about to come out, and one is strictly guarded."
After a few minutes, there was no movement in the cabinet.
The whole bedroom also became quiet, but there were three anxious hearts hidden under the quiet.
The three of them didn't dare to leave, so they all sat by the bed, their six eyes fixed on the closet, consciously or unconsciously thinking, what would they do if a strange teammate with a makeover rushed out later.
Time passed by, and the wardrobe was still silent, which made people wonder if Chi Yingxue fell asleep inside.
But there is no movement, always better than the babbling of the gods, which really makes the scalp numb.
The tense heartstrings of the three also followed this long-term calm and relaxed a little.
Qian Ai lowered her head, looked at the hand she had just pushed Chi Yingxue, and cursed in her heart a little regretfully, do you think you owe, are you impulsive, or are you acting recklessly without considering the consequences? That's your teammate. Even if you have a bad personality, bad temper, and inexplicably push things up, can't you change to a safe, gentle and non-irritating way of education
This push is cool, I almost lost two lives!
Xu Wang looked at the messy clothes and remembered that the secret box was still in the closet. He thought about it all the way, and the first thing he did when he came back was to open the secret box, but he couldn't care about it now, he just hoped that Chi Yingxue would be able to settle down safely.
Half an hour later, Qian Ai began to doze off, his head twitching.
An hour later, Xu Wang's eyelids also began to fight. From last night to now, they haven't closed their eyes, and they can still hold on, but once they relax, it's hard to resist their exhaustion.
An hour and a half later, the two of them fell asleep, either lying or leaning on the head of the bed and the end of the bed.
in the closet.
The abyss-like darkness engulfed Chi Yingxue, or in other words, he and the darkness were integrated into one.
If there was a see-through light at this time, you would see that he was scratching his arm with the key, and once there was no blood, he would do it a second time, repeating this action mechanically and firmly, until the serrations of the key pierced the flesh. Ripped together.
The knife he was carrying was stopped at the airport when he went through security.
Otherwise, the efficiency of his "pain therapy" would be even higher.
He stared at his arm, as if his eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he could see the blood and blood. Moreover, it made him happy, and the brilliance in his eyes was even brighter than when he was fighting.
There was no sound outside the closet, only breathing evenly when he fell asleep, but he didn't know any of this.
He has completely entered his own world, and in the long-term extreme depression, the whole person trembled slightly, and finally he couldn't hold back.
The beautiful thin lips parted lightly, and the words uttered were gloomy.
"Didn't you want to come out? Come out, I didn't stop you," he almost whispered, unprecedented gentleness, unprecedented cruelty, "It's dark, stuffy, and painful outside, you must like..."
His voice was shaking too.
But it's not nervousness, it's not fear, it's not hatred and anger, it's joy, a kind of mastery over the situation, a great joy.
A cabinet apart.
Sitting between the two sleeping people, Kuang Jinxin quietly looked at the wardrobe, clearly listening to every word and every sentence that came out there, with clear eyes.
"Oh, it doesn't seem to hurt enough..."
"… roll… "
"I'm going away, who will protect you..."
“… get out of the way…”
"Why don't you say something else? Your brother still knows that one method can't kill me, so let's switch to the second one..."
"… "
—Boom!
Suddenly there was a crashing sound inside the cabinet, which was not loud, but it seemed like a fuse was lit.
Then a series of "dong dong dong" sounded extremely fast, fast and dense, and the sound was louder than the sound, and the sound was more ruthless, as if someone inside was desperately slamming his head against the cabinet wall!
It seemed as if a gun was thrown into the silent bedroom. Xu Wang and Qian Ai woke up in an instant. Before they could figure out what was going on, the cabinet door was knocked open by Chi Yingxue with a bang.
He rushed out from the inside at a speed that could not be seen clearly, stood still in the bright light of the bedroom, bent over and put his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, like a drowning person who had just been rescued ashore.
The tips of his sweat soaked hair stick to his delicate cheeks, making his skin even whiter.
His eyelashes were also slightly wet with sweat, and in the light of the room, a faint shadow was cast under his eyes, hiding all his emotions in the depths.
The three little friends, motionless, silent, with a trace of apprehension and uncertainty, waited for him to recover.
After a long while, his breathing finally slowed down, still holding his knees, he turned his head slightly to the side of the bed, and smiled, his voice was a little weak after being overdrawn, but his eyes were bright as stars: "I'm making you worry, I'm fine. "
Qian Ai and Xu Wang both breathed a sigh of relief, but only half.
The teammate is still the polite and courteous Chi Yingxue who has been with him for many days. This is not a bad result. It is always easier to continue getting along with familiar ones than to re-run the unfamiliar ones. The bloodstains on the inner side of the left arm were intertwined. The blood from some of the slightly deeper wounds had already flowed down. The blood beads were hanging on the fingertips.
"Don't you feel pain?" Qian Ai complained, but Chi Yingxue felt pain in her heart. He used to think that he was the poorest kid in the team who was most vulnerable to injury. Until he got along with this new teammate in the past two days, he suddenly felt that his life was full of love and sunshine.
When they parted at the airport, Wu Sheng insisted on keeping the first aid kit, because he was going to a major client in Hebei at night, and if he entered the "Owl" at midnight, it would not be 1/23 but an endless sea. Although Xu Wang repeatedly stated that the risk factor of 1/23 is zero, Wu Sheng still forced to leave a medicine box instead of himself to take care of the entire team.
Who knew that the first aid kit would come in handy before the "Owl" entered.
Xu Wang had to admire the "far-sightedness" of his military advisor.
In the living room, Chi Yingxue dressed herself skillfully, and the three partners supervised the whole process.
Xu Wang inadvertently glanced at the edge of the gauze exposed at his ankle, and after realizing it, this partner was injured in the battle, and suddenly the captain's soul was possessed, and he said bitterly: "You have no other way. ... Stable?" I really couldn't find the right word, and it was strange to say "stop the other yourself", so I finally chose two ambiguous words, "You were injured when you passed the level, but when you come back to reality, you hurt yourself, you It can resist the pain, but the body can't take it."
"Another way..." Chi Yingxue lowered her head and tied the gauze, and pondered softly. When everything was done, she raised her head and blinked at Xu Wang with a half-smiling smile, "You wouldn't want to know."
Xu Wang fell silent.
In the depths of his eyes, he saw endless pain and darkness.
It was already dark, and there were still two and a half hours before the owl's reopening.
Xu Wang asked his three partners to take a nap in the living room and hid in the bedroom by himself.
Fortunately, the partners didn't ask for a "shared bedroom", otherwise he wouldn't know what reason to use to push people out.
It can't be said that I need a private space to decipher the secrets of ten years ago.
Closing the door, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before approaching the closet.
There was a little blood on the inside of the open cabinet door, which should have been rubbed by Chi Yingxue when he pushed the door.
Xu Wang bent down and put his upper body in, stretched out his hand and fumbled for a long time, and finally came across the box.
still.
Carefully curled up in the deepest part of the cabinet, just like this paragraph is not a relationship, a relationship.
His heart was beating so fast, Xu Wang tried several times before successfully taking out the box.
He took it in his hands, turned and walked back to the bed, taking every step carefully, like a treasure that would shatter if he wasn't careful.
Finally, the box was placed on the soft bed.
After opening the cover, taking the letter, the five pieces of letter paper were unfolded, flattened, and neatly placed side by side, like a square.
He first folded the first and second letter paper together, pinched it, and looked under the lamp, just like Wu Sheng did when he deciphered the password of the love letter in the ancient castle on 6/23.
Breathing involuntarily stopped.
In the whole world, it seems that there are only two stacks of letter paper left.
Each of Wu Sheng's letters is not too long, half a page more and a third less, with just a few words, a non-painful greeting.
Xu Wang carefully read every word, for a long time, his eyes could almost burn through the letter.
The only thing that can be stacked on two pieces of stationery is a period and a comma.
Xu Wang did not believe in evil, so he exchanged two more letters, this time without even overlapping punctuation marks.
Choose two out of the five pieces of letter paper, with a total of ten permutations, and Xu Wang tried them all. A period, a comma, two "''s" - that's all there is to it.
Expecting to pass away in disappointment again and again, in the end, Xu Wang gave up completely.
He lay down tiredly and raised his arms to cover his sore eyes. Not only did it hurt, but there was also a faint heat coming up.
When you are full of hope, you can imagine 10,000 possibilities. When the hope is dashed, you discover that what supports these imaginations may be just an illusory "clue" that is not even evidence.
Wu Sheng used the love letter superposition method to decipher the code, must he have used the same method
As long as the head is not so hot, you can realize how natural this so-called "inference" is.
…
Outside the bedroom, the three little friends didn't sleep anymore.
Qian Ai was hungry, so he found a package of instant noodles somewhere and went to the kitchen to cook.
In the living room, Kuang Jinxin was sitting on the corner of the sofa, opposite the coffee table was Chi Yingxue sitting on the chair.
He didn't sit upright, leaned against the back of the chair and looked at Kuang Jinxin in a relaxed manner, with a little playfulness in his lazy eyes.
Kuang Jinxin is not afraid of him watching, to be precise, he is also watching him. Look at his people, look at his demeanor, look at his eyes.
"Aren't you sleepy?" Chi Yingxue asked lightly, with a peaceful and relaxed expression, but without a smile.
Kuang Jinxin said, "I'm not sleepy."
Chi Yingxue tilted her head: "Afraid of me doing bad things?"
He didn't seem to care about the answer, just chatted casually and asked casually.
But Jin Xin answered seriously: "I'm afraid you've been lying."
Chi Yingxue was stunned, something flashed across his eyes, and before Kuang Jin Xin could see clearly, he suddenly stood up, stepped over the coffee table, pressed the armrest of the sofa with one hand, and the backrest of the sofa with the other, trapping Kuang Jinxin. between his arms.
"Little Sijin," Chi Yingxue leaned down, her breath fell on the other side's face, and sighed in disappointment, "You are really unlikable."
Kuang Jinxin wanted to speak, but the next second, he was kissed.
Chi Yingxue's lips were soft and cool, like mints.
He was dumbfounded, his eyes wide open, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Falling on Chi Yingxue's place is good, so good that people can't help but want to bully him.
Chi Yingxue pressed down all the weight, deepened the kiss, and kissed it willfully enough, which took a long time longer than the original plan before it ended.
When it was over, he realized that Kuang Jinxin was looking at him, from beginning to end, his eyes didn't blink, but the initial dazed and confused has become calm and relieved, the only constant is the eternal clarity and brightness.
Chi Yingxue felt a little puzzled in his heart, but he suppressed it, and happily announced according to his original plan: "The seal is finished, from now on, you are mine."
Kuang Jinxin finally had a chance to speak, his voice was a little hoarse: "Are you trying to get mad at him?"
Chi Yingxue was stunned.
"Because he said it was him who joined the team, and his teammates were also him." Kuang Jinxin said, "You heard it all, right?"
The last trace of disguised pleasure on Chi Yingxue's face disappeared.
He looked at Kuang Jinxin quietly, his whole person suddenly showed a coldness, but what he said was like a child: "He took the key and swiped me."
Kuang Jinxin stared at his blue and red forehead: "You've already made him hit the cabinet."
"He even put me in the closet," Chi Yingxue spoke very slowly, her voice sinking little by little, "I hate dark and closed places the most."
Kuang Jinxin raised his hand and touched his head, like a kindergarten teacher taking care of children: "Next time, buy a portable flashlight."
Chi Yingxue frowned, knocked off the hand above her head, stood up straight, and glanced down at the guy on the sofa for a long time, confirming that her original feeling had not changed: "You are still the same as you were on 3/23."
Such obvious disgust, Kuang Jinxin rarely met, but instead of feeling angry, he just felt fresh.
He wasn't afraid that Chi Yingxue would hate him. Anyway, this new teammate, no matter what personality, didn't seem to really like anyone.
"You're not the same as when you were on 3/23," Kuang Jinxin raised his head, and the light reflected on his whole body was extraordinarily vivid and energetic. "At that time you were our opponent, and now you are our teammate."
A strangeness ran through Chi Yingxue's heart, and he didn't know what it was.
"So you don't have to pretend to be him. When we added him, we added you together," Kuang Jinxin stood up and encouraged, "Don't worry, I will take you to tell the captain that you are not Chi Yingxue, It's the King of Hell."
Chi Yingxue stood still.
"I am Chi Yingxue, and he is the King of Hell."
Kuang Jinxin was stunned, looked at him for a while, and then nodded blankly: "Oh."
"Oh?" Chi Yingxue raised her eyebrows, dark clouds brewing in her eyes.
Kuang Jinxin was a little embarrassed and tried to coax: "Names are not important, as long as you can distinguish the two of you."
Chi Yingxue looked at him firmly: "Name is very important."
Kuang Jinxin sighed, and simply said the truth: "He said he was Chi Yingxue, the main character, and you said you were, and neither of you can produce evidence, who should I believe?"
Chi Yingxue took it for granted: "Me."
Kuang Jinxin thought about it seriously: "Okay, I will believe you when you are here."
Chi Yingxue: "…"
Kuang Jinxin wasn't sure which of them was the main character, but the last Chi Yingxue said, "This one Chi Yingxue can hear and perceive things outside", which is unquestionable.
Maybe even this Chi Yingxue didn't realize that when he was talking to himself, he was far from the stranger he was last time, and even brought the relaxation and familiarity that he had been with for a long time.
Kuang Jinxin still has a lot of questions, and he is still curious about why he jumped off the Ferris wheel with his arms in his arms.
But it will take a long time to come to Japan.
"When did you find out that I was mine?" Chi Yingxue asked suddenly before leaving for the bedroom.
Kuang Jinxin said, "I'll know when you come out of the closet."
Chi Yingxue stared at him lightly, not very convinced.
Kuang Jinxin said: "his face is hot, his eyes are cold, your face is cold, and your eyes are hot."
When Qian Ai came out of the kitchen with the cooked noodles, she saw that Kuang Jinxin and Chi Yingxue were about to knock on the bedroom door.
"What are you doing?" he asked inexplicably.
Chi Yingxue said nothing.
Kuang Jinxin said for him, "Surrender."
Qian Ai: "… "
The bowl in his hand was too hot, Qian Ai didn't hold on for long, full of doubts, he scurried back to the living room.
After putting away the instant noodles, I thought about it, but I was still unsteady.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw that Kuang Jinxin was looking at Xu Wang, Xu Wang was looking at Chi Yingxue, and Chi Yingxue was looking at the letter on the bed.
letter
Qian Ai quietly leaned over to the bed and looked sideways, only to see that there was not much content on the five pieces of letter paper. The writing was very beautiful, and the letter paper was also very beautiful. The lines are faintly visible under the light.
"You mean, he's the King of Hell now?" Xu Wang looked up and down at his new teammates, but he couldn't be as keen as Kuang Jinxin.
"No, er, it's still Chi Yingxue," Kuang Jinxin remembered the classmate's request, "but it's not the last Chi Yingxue."
Xu Wang supported his forehead. There were too many things to do this night, and his brain capacity was a little bit unable to keep up.
Chi Yingxue has been completely attracted by the few pieces of letter paper, and she doesn't pay attention to what is being said here. He reached for a piece of letter paper, tilted his head and looked at it for a few seconds, as if he had encountered some interesting game, and asked Xu Wang excitedly, "Where is the mother?"
The author has something to say: Owl: Your assists are online.
