Chapter 45 Section 4

The wind stirs the lake water, and thick fog floats between the billowing waves. The fog is so thick that it blurs the decaying reeds on the banks of Nitro, the abandoned adobe houses, and the yellow stones on the hillside into a white and chaotic piece. Or is it not the fog that blurs the world, but my tears? Miao's face was covered with tears, the crystal teardrops were torn by the wind, before they flowed to the cheeks, they fluttered to the ears, dyeing the filaments of the temples into a translucent blue... The huge sky was like a blanket The boundless grassland looks like the rust from the iron plate. What a heavy background this is!Her figure stands tall between the sky and the earth, delicate and ethereal, transformed into a bunch of tassels hanging down in the dusk.

Just like standing on the national highway late at night that day. Once upon a time, two birds flew over here when migrating, one couldn't fly, fell into the lake and died, the other wailed around the lake for three days, and then fell into the lake... Lake of tears, Erincha Gan Nuoer, how high and how far did you accumulate the bitterness of a lifetime, and only then did the few bony birch trees on the shore leave scars like tear spots... Now, it's my turn. "indistinct……" At some point, Liu Hesi came to her side. "I can't remember, I really can't remember..." Miao's voice was low and desperate, "After those beasts left my room, I only remember a feeling: in the darkness, the lakeside building seemed to be submerged by raging lake water , the waves of the lake blocked my mouth and nose, choked into my lungs, and I sank to the bottom of the lake, excruciatingly painful. I struggled desperately, rowed, kicked, and finally escaped from the building , run as hard as you can, run until you can't run anymore, then stand on the national highway..."

Liu Hesi was silent. Miao looked at the lake under her feet, the waves were beating against the lake shore, and the water splashed her shoes, "Now I'm here, I'm standing here, but I can't figure out how this lake can submerge that building, Is that just my hallucination? Just a side effect of my anesthesia? I admit that I have been anesthetizing myself. I know that Xiang Tea has never loved me, but I can't help it, I can't help it...I love him so much, I love so much that I dare not be hurt even a little bit, so I can only run away from him. Only after his accident, until it is impossible for him to hurt my love again, I dare to muster up the courage to love him, but this love is hopeless, Hopeless love is a kind of torture, how can I live without anesthesia? It hurts, it hurts..."

The trembling body couldn't bear it anymore, she slowly sat down on the ground, raised her head, and tears rolled down her cheeks like a bank of tears. Liu Hesi squatted down gently, and they stretched out their hands together to hug her. For a long, long time, the last ray of light from the sky shone on Miao's body, which was unusually bright. Her eyebrows, eyes, bridge of nose, lips, and even the teardrop that was condensed on her chin all drew beautiful lines like tailoring.Si wiped away her blurry eyes, "It's getting dark, we have to go back to the lakeside building to turn on the lights, the three of us can't separate ourselves in places without light."

Liu nodded, took Miao's arm, "Let's go!" Miao shook her head and said weakly, "I can't walk anymore, I'm so tired..." Liu winked at Si, and the two of them worked together to lift Miao up from the ground. Despite the howling wind, Liu Zaimiao's words were still so clear, "Let's go together. We——are alone!" They stumbled back to the lakeside building. The light in the building was already extremely weak, and they clicked and clicked several switches in the hall and corridor, but the lights were not on.Liu became a little anxious, but his thoughts were still calm. He found the distribution box in the corner of the east wall of the hall, and opened the iron door with all his strength. He just said to Liu, "Come here..."

Her image blurred a bit as if the camera was out of focus. Liu reached out to grab Si's arm, but what he grabbed was Void. "Si! You can't go!" Liu yelled anxiously, "Come here quickly! Help me keep Si!" In the empty building, only the echo came, "Miao has already left, but you don't know it yet." The most poignant smile appeared on Si's face, "The person with deep love always takes a step first, and then the doubters... In the end, only you are left. hope." The image of thinking gradually faded with the extinguishment of the last bit of natural light, and the sound disappeared completely.

... Only you are left. The double disappeared, but for some reason it didn't fit together, and I was still split. There is a world inside the building, and another world outside the building. There is no intersection between the two, just like a coffin hanging on the boundless wilderness.Indeed, the lakeside building is not a high-rise building, but for me who is alone, it still has too many empty rooms, and in one room there are six ghosts who can't rest in peace. , pouring the bone-chilling cold into this dead building, reminiscent of a distended carrion scratching the coffin board...

Soon I couldn't see my fingers. Liu leaned against the wall as if frozen. The light is not on, maybe it has tripped, as long as the gate is opened, Sihe Miao will come back to me with the light. I need a little light, just a little... She mustered up her courage, her stiff body trembled a little, and her arms were able to move. Okay, I'm going to take out my mobile phone. The light of the mobile phone is enough to illuminate the distribution box. Before entering the building, she turned off her mobile phone in order to prevent disturbance, and now she turns it on again, pointing the screen at the distribution box, and a rectangular spot of light is projected on a row of T-shaped toggle buttons: all upward, in an open state.

Her heart sank, and she stretched out her hand to touch each other up and down. The darkness in the building was still as solid as an iron plate. In other words, it's not a trip, it's a power outage.This is the most common thing in the backcountry, but for Liu, what is cut off is not electricity, but hope. My palms are cold, what should I do next? The backlight of the phone has been turned off, and then turned on again. She picked it up and saw six text messages. The first five belonged to Guo Xiaofen, and the last one belonged to Hu Yanyun. Looking back from the beginning, Guo Xiaofen kept asking "Si Miao, where are you?" "Si Miao, why is your phone turned off?" Turn off the phone, I'm terrified!"

The last one is rather long: "Si Miao, Hu Yan once said to me: 'The murderer set up that secret room with only one purpose—to make the police think it was a secret room.' I don't know what this means, maybe it will be useful to you. Be careful!" Liu thought about it, but he didn't know what Hu Yan was talking about. Fortunately, there was another text message he didn't read, so he clicked the "Open" button to see what shocking words that always arrogant guy can send. . The green progress bar of "Opening information" moves forward a little bit... It's almost the last bar.

Suddenly! It's like a sharp knife cut through the eyelids!All of a sudden, his eyes went dark. Liu thought that her consciousness was malfunctioning, closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, as if trying to drive away a terrible nightmare, but the moment she opened her eyes, it was still dark, and she realized that the phone was out of battery. The wind suddenly became louder. Damn it!What kind of text message did that guy Hu Yanyun send me? Liu bit his lip. The phone can't be charged even in a power outage. Waiting like this is not an option.The flashlight is in the site inspection box, so get it anyway.She leaned on the wall, moved her numb legs little by little, and walked towards the KTV room. At the door of the private room, she stopped. There are still six ghosts who can't rest in peace wandering in this room... only myself. Front, back, left, right, above my head and under my feet, I don’t know what is lurking in the dark, maybe a hand will suddenly grab my ankle, maybe something will suddenly get stuck on the back of my neck, maybe when I push open the door, there will be two poached eyeballs facing me eye sockets, maybe I'm shattered and I don't know it... The teacher Li Changyu's teaching echoed very clearly at this moment, "An excellent criminal forensic officer should not believe in anything but science at the scene of a crime." She silently recited "Don't believe in anything but science"... She tried her best to calm herself down, but the moment she opened the door, her teeth still chattered.She felt that every pore in her body was open, and she could feel every tremor in the air. She thought, if there were really some ghosts attacking her, she should be able to respond immediately—but, Does that work? Relying on her memory, she found the on-site investigation box, picked it up and walked out, she didn't want to stay in the private room for a second longer, her legs and feet were weak, and she stumbled every step she took, as if she had kicked those corpses lying on the ground. Touch the doorknob, great!Now as long as I pull it away, I can take one step forward! For a moment, she remembered the words in the initial investigation report - "The blood found on the handle inside the private room door was identified as the blood of deceased No. After assassinating the No. 1 deceased person, he wanted to run away, but in the end he was hit on the back of the head by an ashtray and died on the spot"——I could not help but tremble. After all, that old man named Li Jialiang once saved her from humiliation. Walking out of the private room, the door closed behind her. The doors and windows were locked but six lives were killed, and the mystery could not be solved after repeated investigations, you eerie secret room. The murderer set up that secret room with only one purpose—to make the police think it was a secret room. She shivered. The crushed remote control, the weird shape of Gong Jing’s corpse, the base wound on the back of the head covered like a tiger, the ashtray without fingerprints, the loveseat that has been moved outward, and Li Jialiang’s blood on the doorknob—— Is that so?
