Chapter 32 Chapter Six

Cui Shan's tenth day after escaping from the Air Prison. If Lin Zicui didn't escape from the top of the tower, it should be a corpse, right? Will a little helicopter deliver food to him? She is looking for X. Although the roof of the opposite building has been locked, it is not confirmed which window it is.What's more, there is no way to find out X's motives. Why did this man imprison her for a hundred and twenty days?Why did you save yourself in the end? A few days ago, sleeping on a big bed in a hotel business suite, she started bleeding all night. Is the first normal period after miscarriage?It was really hard, as if she was about to bleed all the blood that had been late for several months, and remembered the fried liver that her mother used to eat for her when she was in middle school.

Cui Shan held a telescope, a newly bought black miniature, staring at the Civic Square Park outside the window.The winter sun is extraordinarily warm, sprinkled on the withered yellow lawn, making people want to bask in the sun. Before going out, she looked at herself in the mirror.Although she ate all kinds of delicacies or junk food these days, she was bleeding day and night and was still thin and pale.I have to wear makeup, I haven't worn lipstick and foundation for several months, it looks a little unnatural, especially the blue eye circles that are hard to hide.Cut my hair in half and painted my nails pink yesterday.Put on big sunglasses and change into a short black windbreaker, which is of good quality.Wrapped in a brown scarf.The lower body is a pair of gray trousers, with a pair of black high heels.There is also a telescope hanging around the neck, which is very retro.

In the afternoon, Cui Shan walked into Civic Square Park and bought duck necks from a street vendor.When she was in college, she often ate this at the gate of the school, asking for the spiciest one, which made her nose runny and shed tears, feeling extremely refreshed. She sat on the bench that X often sat on, and looked up at the Tower of Babylon with her chin resting on her hand.Just like the spaceship in "Star Wars", it gives people an overwhelming visual.There are countless tall buildings with more than 30 floors around, but they are not as tall as this unfinished building with steel bars exposed.

In order to ensure the safety of Zhang Xiaoqiao's passport, it is necessary to know whether the "Republic of Sodom" really exists. I bought a new smart phone the day before yesterday and searched online.As for Lin Zicui's two mobile phones, including the limited edition model inlaid with "LZCS", she threw them into Suzhou Creek in the middle of the night to prevent the police from detecting the source of the signal. Although it is almost impossible to find it on the world map, Sodom is a sovereign state, let alone Somalia.A few years ago, the Republic of Sodom had just joined the United Nations. The Sodom Islands in the South Pacific consisted of 19 islands with an area of ​​30 square kilometers, equivalent to China's Macau. In 1778, a British warship rebelled, and several sailors and a group of Polynesian girls sailed to this uninhabited island.They carried a "Bible" with them, so they named this Garden of Eden at the ends of the earth after the story of Sodom in the "Old Testament".Until 1900, when people from the civilized world re-landed on the island, these European-Polynesian hybrids still lived an ancient life.At present, the population of the Republic of Sodom does not exceed 1,000, but it has issued 200,000 passports to the world, each priced at 20,000 US dollars.

This passport is stuck in the inner pocket of Cui Shan's windbreaker. A few minutes later, a black light motorcycle stopped on the side of the road with two suitcases of luggage in the back seat.The rider was a young man, took off his helmet and looked at the top of the Tower of Babylon, and walked into the Civic Square Park. Wearing a black coat and carrying a backpack, he sat on the other end of the most familiar bench.The sun warmed the back of the chair, and it was comfortable and comfortable to sit on, not to mention that there was a beautiful woman beside him, only five centimeters away from his shoulder.

The temperature has warmed up by more than ten degrees, and it is a rare winter afternoon without wind. Coupled with the lack of recovery from fatigue, it is easy for people to feel sleepy after eating. Cui Shan just fell asleep. Her eyes were slightly closed, and she was huddled on the side of the bench, with the leftover duck neck in her hand.The sun was shining warmly, like a layer of white paint, smeared on the extremely thin face.After a long period of confinement and starvation, several purple capillaries were almost transparently exposed. However, as long as a nearby child kicked a football, it would wake her up.

Seeing the binoculars she hung on her chest, the corner of the man's mouth smiled for the first time.He hugged his motorcycle helmet, took off his thick glasses, and approached her face.This was the closest he was to her, and he could smell the smell in her hair and the breath from her nostrils—he just wanted to see a certain mole on her eyelid. On the same bench, he stayed in this position for half a minute, but he never touched her. Only the smell of mint candy that Cui Shan had just chewed continuously entered his nostrils along with his even breathing.The young man poured out two white pills, stuffed them into his own mouth, and gasped slightly.

At the same time, his right hand was taking out something from his trouser pocket... Before Cui Shan woke up, he seemed to see something. Clear, clean, spotless, man's eyes. I am afraid that when I wake up, I will return to the prison in the air, and the moment when I just opened my eyes to face the barren sky, and these days of successful escape from prison are nothing but delusions and hallucinations caused by too much desire for freedom. When she was woken up by the sound of the light engine on the side of the road, those eyes disappeared. All I saw was the cold slightly blue sky, the unfinished roofs that stood out like black bones, and a flock of gray pigeons piercing the skyline—Cui Shan once ate one of his companions.

How did you fall asleep?Just on this wooden bench, in the sunny square park, there is a large lawn in front of you, only a few sparrows are pecking at it.Too dangerous!It doesn't matter if she catches a cold after falling asleep. Anyway, in the past 120 days, she has been able to survive in any harsh environment, and she is afraid of being stolen from her mobile phone wallet or being taken advantage of by a pervert. Checking up and down, the buttons of the windbreaker are firmly fastened, the scarf has not been unbuttoned, and the things in the pockets are still there—no!What is more. two keys.

In the pockets of Cui Shan's windbreaker, there were two completely unfamiliar keys. Among them, on the slightly larger key handle, there is a small note with the number "3001" written on it. There is also a slightly smaller key marked "12". Who put this bunch of keys into her pocket while she accidentally fell asleep?Looking around in horror, I saw the continuous flow of vehicles on the street. She put the key in front of her nose, leaving the smell of sweat from the man's palm. X - is that you? Looking up at the sky again, aiming at a certain residential building opposite the elevated, when she was locked in the hanging garden, she could see the windows on the top floor every day.

3001? Isn't the number on the key the thirtieth floor and one unit?The window where peeper X is? Cui Shan picked up the remaining half pack of duck necks and left Civic Square Park.She crushed fallen leaves all over the ground, crossed the road from the overpass under the north-south viaduct, bypassed the sleeping old beggar, and almost knocked over the small basin in which he collected money. There is a sign of the residential area hanging on the street: Garden of Two Rivers. Under the influence of Teacher Rong in high school, Cui Shan learned world history well. The Tigris and Euphrates—are they named after the two river basins opposite the Tower of Babylon? She found Building No. 7, which was the worst location in the entire community because it was close to the north-south elevated highway and affected by noise.The elevator was empty in the afternoon, and the building advertisements were covered with swear words and women's QQ numbers. Cui Shan pressed the button on the 30th floor of the top floor.As the elevator climbed higher, she began to imagine X's face. The 30th floor arrived, and there was only one unit with "3001" printed on the door. Without ringing the doorbell, he inserted the big key directly.Sure enough, he opened the door, and there was a long corridor in front of him, with simple wall panels on both sides, and several small doors closed tightly.There are stairs leading to the second floor. It turned out to be a duplex house with seven rooms downstairs.The kitchen rang with the sound of the microwave turning.I don't know where the dialogue of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" came out.A young girl was waiting at the door of the bathroom, wearing a pink nightgown with dark circles under her eyes, shivering from the cold, knocking on the door and asking if the bathroom was ready.She didn't mind Cui Shan's appearance, just treated it as some new neighbor. This is a group rental house, and it's not like he hasn't lived in this kind of house before. Cui Shan looked at the "12" on the small key and stepped on the creaky narrow stairs. In the deepest part of the second floor, you see "12" on the door, don't you know that X is in the room? She held the six teeth on the small key tightly in her palm, biting back and forth like a saw, almost bleeding, until there was a shrill cry from the next door, as if a young unemployed couple were arguing. Finally, Cui Shan stuffed the small key into the lock, and the door behind the door was as quiet as a tomb, and he turned the lock with a little force with his fingers. X's home. About ten square meters, the floor-to-ceiling windows facing east face the sky, overlooking the Tower of Babylon at a glance. When Cui Shan turned around, he saw himself on the wall. The entire wall, from the ceiling to the floor, is almost covered with a picture of a woman... From black and white photos of a five or six-year-old girl, to group photos wearing a red scarf, and family photos of a family of three—her father was a handsome man, her mother was once a beauty, and she wore decent clothes. Inherited the looks of their parents.The Cui family had a girl who had just grown up and was raised in a deep boudoir. No one knew her. She was a shy girl wearing a junior high school uniform.Cui Shan stared at this picture for a long time, and touched his fourteen-year-old cheek with his fingers, just like X imagining her skin temperature through a telescope. She once had an English name, which was given to her in college English class, but few people remembered it, and it was almost never used again——Odette.This line of letters was pasted on X's bedside, followed by three Chinese characters: Odette. Curiously flipping through the back of the note, there is a line of Chinese characters and foreign words—— Odette = Odette = Odette She didn't understand what that meant. In addition to her various photos on the wall, such as the group photo with the high school class teacher, the private room photos of the best friends in the university dormitory, the chocolates secretly passed on in the office romance... There are also snowflakes of copies or scans: the college entrance examination transcript, the Award certificates, registration materials left in high-end clubs, transaction records on Taobao and JD.com, temporary medical records for hospital checkups, screenshots of Weibo that have been deleted but kept by others... The last few photos are selfies with her mobile phone—she is wearing a bulky travel suit, with the Erhai Lake under the blue sky and white clouds in the background, and three slender white pagodas standing behind her.The other two are in a bar in Lijiang, marked with the shooting time: February of this year. A few pieces of A4 paper were fixed on the wall with thumbtacks, which turned out to be the constellation codes copied from the Internet—— June 22 – Strengths: Romantic, expressive, imaginative.Weaknesses: Naive, unrealistic, likes to manipulate everything.Birthday Flower: Bluebells.Birthstone: Pearl.Famous People Born On This Day - 1940: Abbas Kiarostami. 1949: Meryl Streep. 1962: Stephen Chow. 1964: Hiroshi Abe. 1964: Dan Brown. 1987: Lee Min Ho. Seeing these printed words, Cui Shan couldn't help but smile knowingly. The boy who chased her in college also posted such content on the bedside. But on the most eye-catching position on the wall, there is a line of big characters written in a red marker—— Take medicine three times a day Could it be that there is some kind of special medicine hidden in the bread and water that X gave her?Like two potions mixed in a syringe that turn into deadly poison?Perhaps, this is the reason why she sleeps so hard every night, and when he sneaks and lies next to him in the middle of the night, she has no way of noticing. There are several rows of crooked "positive" characters in the corner of the wall. After careful counting, it turned out to be twenty-four. One hundred and twenty days. That's right, there is no one on earth who is more familiar with Cui Shan than X, even more than herself. Is it really? Cui Shan continued to check the room. There was no clothes in the closet, and he didn't see the necessities of life, let alone computers, mobile phones, wallets, documents, etc. It seemed that he had just moved. But on the window sill was a white envelope with the handwriting of X written on it—— TO: Odette The letter X left her? Cui Shan's English name Odette in the past, according to the logic written by X on the bedside note, was finally equal to Odette, which is also the name of the heroine of "Swan Lake". The moment I opened the envelope, I didn't see any letter paper, only stacks of red and green banknotes - 10,000 RMB, plus 3,000 US dollars, all old banknotes. She silently stuffed the envelope into the windbreaker pocket. In fact, Cui Shan needs the money very much. Once the card is swiped or the ATM is withdrawn, it is easy to reveal the location. Only cash is the safest.And the five thousand yuan left by Lin Zicui has been almost spent by her these days. There are some things that people will never understand, and Cui Shan doesn't need to know the answer—why is this man treating her so well? But one thing is for sure: X puts the key in her pocket, and he will never come back to this room again. She opened the drawer of the writing desk and tidied it up. There was only one big photo left, which was the graduation photo of Wuyi Middle School.After scrutinizing it carefully for a while, I ran my fingers over every face, but I couldn't find myself after all. Finally, Cui Shan went back to the window and looked at the top of the unfinished building opposite. Wait a minute, there seems to be something else.She frantically picked up the binoculars on her neck, just as X had done every day for the past four months—in the oval's narrow field of view, under the last withered pomegranate, lay a male corpse.He twisted his limbs, revealing a blue-gray face, his eyes remained open until death, and he looked straight up at the sky. Lin Zicui is dead. Obviously, X didn't treat Lin Zicui like he did Cui Shan. Seeing his hideous corpse, whether it was starved to death or frozen to death, his expression froze at the most painful moment.Cui Shanben thought he would cry, but he didn't even have a tear. He just felt nauseous and almost vomited out the bridge rice noodles at noon. However, there is not only Lin Zicui's body in the hanging garden, but also a woman. Cui Shan almost stood on the window sill, constantly adjusting the distance with the telescope, convinced that this was not an illusion. The woman is still alive. She was crying desperately for help.A woman in her thirties, with a snow-white and beautiful face, looks like a young woman in a Korean drama.Wearing a BURBERRY coat, earrings and rings are inlaid with diamonds, a pampered rich man.Her hair was disheveled, and the skin on her forehead had just scabbed, maybe it had just fallen in. In an instant, Cui Shan remembered this face—on June 22, at five o'clock in the morning, on the bedside table at the scene of Cheng Lijun's murder.
