The corpse of the invincible hero
Chapter 233
.Chapter 230 Parting ways
December 2009, 12, at 24:[-] p.m., New York, USA.
For the people of the United States, Christmas Eve is sacred, peaceful and carnival.
Most European and American family members will reunite at home, have a big dinner together, and then sit around the burning stove, play the piano and sing, and share the family happiness.
Or, they will hold a special masquerade party to celebrate the coming Christmas all night long.
On the night before Christmas, parents will quietly prepare gifts for their children, and even, just like the plots in some movies, will specially hide these gifts in oversized stockings and hang them on the fireplace beside......
Of course, the above are all general situations. You must know that in reality, the most unpredictable thing is a kind of accident called accident with many fates. In fact, it was already doomed from the very beginning~ the wheel of fortune spins quietly , all people, all lives, cannot escape the arrangement of fate. Maybe you think that you have been abandoned long ago, but that is just that fate has not yet reached that important meeting point. When all the conditions are ripe, the new The chapter begins here
Even when you wake up, you will find that the whole world has changed, and the world view that has dominated your life for many years will collapse and destroy in an instant...
Liu Siling, a male of Chinese nationality, the third Mark Advertising Company, is already a senior assistant to the second in command of the creative department at a young age. Since 07, several projects in charge of him have been very successful, and he has been recognized by the entire company, including the CEO. Nei is regarded as another new talent in the advertising industry
The smooth career path is not only because of Liu Siling's strong strength and extraordinary intelligence, but also because of his immediate boss, the executive director of the creative department. In an advertising company, the executive director of the creative department is a well-deserved representative of real power And this middle-aged man named David Bode with curly white hair is a close friend of Liu Siling's adoptive parents in China
Everything seems to be going so smoothly. It seems that Liu Siling's life is about to usher in the most shining period in the dark. It seems that as long as he works for another two years, it will be natural for Liu Siling to take this position when Uncle David retires. things~
However, everything is only if
When Liu Siling rushed to work in the company this morning with a secretly bought gift, he was completely stunned by the bad news one after another like a bolt from the blue
It seems that in one night, everything that was familiar to me disappeared, and everything that I had before would disappear like a dream. Except for the heart-piercing pain, there was no trace left... .
Last night, over forty years old, Uncle David, who regarded Liu Siling as his own, died at home. The cause of death was an inexplicable sudden myocardial infarction. For Uncle David, who has always been diligent in exercising and has no history of heart disease almost impossible cause of death
In addition, David, Liu Siling, and Liu Siling's boss, Robert Pat, the second in command of the creative department, have been participating in Mark's annual biggest case. The world's retail giant - Wal-Mart's four latest projects have disappeared.
For a moment, the hearts of the entire Mark Company were fluctuating, but Liu Siling's world has since collapsed
Accompanied by the CEO, the distraught rushed to the morgue. What Liu Siling saw was the body of Uncle David, who had been dissected and put on a body bag. His pale complexion looked like spoiled tofu, and his neck was weird and terrifying. It's hard to associate the wound with natural death...
Then, before Liu Siling recovered from the pain of losing a loved one, the police came one after another, David died, the project disappeared, and Robert's whereabouts were still unknown. No matter from which angle, Liu Siling was quite suspicious, so Accompanied by the CEO of the company, for the first time in his life, Liu Siling stayed in the police station for a whole day, questioning and taking notes. Only then slowly walked out of the police station.
Looking around in a daze, the streets of New York, which I have gradually become familiar with on weekdays, are so noisy and hustle and bustle at this moment, there is not even a place for Liu Siling to be alone
After all, the CEO also had his own family to accompany him, so after a few words of concern, and after confirming that Liu Siling didn't want to go back to his residence, he had to sigh and leave alone.
And what about Liu Siling?He wanted to cry, but the tears had already dried up; he wanted to sigh, but his chest was tightly blocked, as if a mouthful of thick blood was about to gush out in the next moment; he wanted to go crazy, but his last rationality told him that now is not the time... ..
The distraught Liu Siling just wandered aimlessly all over the street, but when he realized it, he found that it was already dark, but he was standing at the door of a bar. The name of the bar was Kathryn, which translates to purity.
This is the place where Liu Siling and David drink and have fun together on weekdays. The owner of the shop is a nearly 50-year-old man who is blind in his left eye.The facade of the bar looks ordinary, but the interior decoration is quite tasteful. It is a good place for the middle class to relax after work.
On weekdays, it would be great to see this bar, but right now, standing in front of Kathryn's bar, Liu Siling has the urge to go crazy
Wake up overnight, everything is different, everything has been turned upside down, the bar is still there, but people are confused, after all, who else can accompany him to talk about life, complain and complain, and be harmonious like a friend, and like an elder What about kindness?
For a moment, Liu Siling desperately wanted to escape.Escape from this kathryn's bar, escape from this nightmare reality
But after taking one step forward, Liu Siling found that he had nowhere to go. Finally, he turned around and pushed open the door of the bar, deciding that this Christmas Eve, which he would never forget, would get drunk in this familiar bar and pay homage to his already cold relatives. .....
The second hand ticks, the minute hand moves quietly, and before you know it, the night is dark~
However, on a night like Christmas Eve, the darker the darkness, the more excited the American people are.
Those good men who stayed at home with their family and friends have naturally finished their sumptuous dinner and are doing some leisure activities with their families, while those young people who are still nostalgic for the streets and bars of New York are gradually getting high to the highest point of the night
Liu Siling, who had already drunk a little, was lying on a table in the corner of the bar in pain. During the period, people came and went, strange and sexy white women sat down, or invited him to have a drink, or allowed him to invite them Have a drink~ What's the difference?They are just lonely and lonely souls who want to find a short-term warm sustenance on this holy Christmas Eve~
However, they found the wrong partner tonight.
At this moment, Liu Siling's heart is full of pain, he just wants to get himself drunk, and then forget that heart-piercing pain, even if it's only temporary, even if he wakes up tomorrow and has to bear more troubles, he still hopes that for a moment he can put everything together I forgot everything, and even woke up to find that this was just a fleeting nightmare~
However, the reality is the reality. No matter how much he drank to relieve his worries, his Uncle David still left. What is even more disappointing is that at such a moment, Liu Siling, who used to be too much to drink, can't get drunk no matter how much he drinks. , There were already a few cans of beer and a bottle of Vodka lying on the table, but even so, although Liu Siling's stomach was burning and uncomfortable, and his eyes were a little blurry, why was his consciousness still so clear?
Could it be that the merciful Lord, on a night like Christmas Eve, would be stingy at giving him such a painful mortal a chance to get drunk?
"ten!"
"nine!"
"eight!"
"seven!"
"six!"
"five!"
"four!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
The countdown is approaching, and with the last shout of everyone toasting, the streets of New York are lit up with brilliant and beautiful fireworks. Countless fashionable men and women gather in front of the TV in the bar to celebrate the arrival of Christmas together. At this moment, The figure of Liu Siling who was left alone in the corner looked more and more lonely
In an instant, a drop of tears flashed away, quickly disappeared on the table, mixed with the flowing wine everywhere, without a trace...
It seems that in a blink of an eye, the old-fashioned hour hand has already climbed the highest peak at midnight, and it is early morning if you don't pay attention...
Even a metropolis like New York has gradually sunk into silence by this time, and even young people, no matter how energetic they are, will feel exhausted by this time~
So people scattered and went home, and the streets and bars gradually became deserted.
Just when the entire New York City was about to fall into a short sleep before dawn, Liu Siming was approaching a turning point in his life step by step.
Liu Siling, who had been drunk for a long time, finally got his wish and forgot all the sudden joys that happened today. At this moment, his whole head was muddy, his feet were floating, and he walked slowly towards his apartment with one step and two steps, almost crawling. .
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~~~~~"
An uncontrollable feeling of nausea rose from the lower abdomen, and it soared up like a milky way pouring down. No matter how hard Liu Siling used his hands to cover it, he couldn't cover it, and finally rolled down on the ground and vomited.
I don't know if it's beer or the yellow turbid liquid of bile. Accompanied by some snacks that have not yet been digested, all of them flowed onto the cold ground. After vomiting again and again, Liu Siling's stomach was already vomited upside down, but even so, the The feeling of nausea still hasn't dissipated, and I continued to retch for a while before the feeling finally subsided~
"Hehe...hehe...hahahaha~~~"
At this moment, Liu Siling's mind was absolutely unconscious, so he simply turned his side and fell beside his own vomit, even a lot of scattered hair was directly mixed with that disgusting thing, the whole person looked crooked in his clothes It's broken, and one of the leather shoes is missing, just like a poor homeless tramp, presumably even people who know him will find it difficult to connect him at this moment with the well-dressed and kind Liu Siling in the past ~
Covering his cheeks with his hands and laughing nervously for a while, it seemed that he could no longer restrain his physical and mental exhaustion. Liu Siling actually just fell asleep on the side of the road, in an unknown alley in New York City in the early morning.. ....
I don't know how long I slept. In the chaos, Liu Siling suddenly felt his head hurt, as if a small but powerful electric drill was drilling a hole in his brain. Liu Siling groaned and woke up slowly~
After beating his forehead for a while, the suffocating pain gradually dissipated. Liu Siling slowly opened his eyes, but what he saw was the dark alley and the soft light from the street lamps beside the road not far away.
"Ah... ah~~~" Just as he was about to sit up from the ground, Liu Siling suddenly found that his whole body was sore, and although his consciousness was still a little fuzzy, he was sure that the smell on his body was definitely not good.
"Damn...damn~ where am I?" Sitting on the ground in a daze for a while, Liu Siling thought of taking out her mobile phone. No matter what, it is true to call the taxi company first and call a taxi. In his current state, the possibility of being able to walk back to his residence alone is infinitely close to zero.
"Bastard~ Where is my phone?" After groping all over his body, Liu Siling suddenly found that he couldn't find his phone. Not only that, even his wallet disappeared along with it.
"Oh~ God, what did I do wrong? First, my relatives died, and then I was under investigation. I am still being ransacked after being drunk. Damn it. Could it be that today is my Good Friday? Damn Christmas Eve, damn it Christmas" sat on the ground and muttered for a while, Liu Siling finally realized that complaining could not solve any problems at the moment, so he had to force himself to stand up, planning to walk back slowly.
However, before he could take two steps, Liu Siling suddenly smelled an inexplicable smell, yes, it was the smell from the food when it was cooked, and it was so tempting that just by smelling this smell, Liu Siling could imagine that The delicious food grilled must be baked with an open flame. It is impossible for those damn electric ovens to enhance the taste of food to such an attractive level. The beautiful Liu Siling seems to have seen the scene of meat oil falling on the charcoal fire and making a sizzling sound
"Goo~~~"
I didn't feel it when I was in a daze before, but now that I am sober, and attracted by the smell of meat, Liu Siling suddenly felt extremely hungry , Can you not be hungry like this?
Sniffing his nose twice again, Liu Siling was sure that the food seemed to be not far away from him. Although he knew that he might not have his share, it was good to see it in the past, so he had to drag his tired body to the opposite direction. Go deeper into the alley slowly.
After walking two corners, Liu Siling could already see the fire, so he took two quick steps. When he turned another corner, he finally saw the source of the fire and the smell of meat in front of a messy dump.
What kind of scene was that?It has really exceeded the limit of Liu Siling's imagination.
In front of a pile of garbage piled up by various discarded refrigerators and color TV sets, a man with a beard and a heavy oily black shiny rag was sitting in front of a small campfire, holding a He took a three-bladed long fork of unknown material, and on the long fork, there was a large piece of meat of an unknown animal, and the golden oil that was being roasted was just when the deliciousness had reached its limit.
In such an environment, Liu Siling's groggy head was unable to think about why this happened in such a dilapidated place. It smells so good, even if he wants to take off his brand-name suit (of course it's a little dirty right now) and exchange it with him, he is willing to do so.
When Liu Siling stood blankly at the corner, hesitating whether to go forward, the man was clearly facing Liu Siling, but as if he hadn't seen such a big living person at all, he gathered the meat to his nose He took a deep sniff, then lifted the meat back to the bonfire, took out a handful of unknown powder from his bosom and sprinkled it on the meat.
Against the backdrop of the flames, as soon as the unknown powder came into contact with the roasted golden meat, it "huh" and turned into a ball of blue flames, completely enveloping the meat, and right here At the same time, more and more delicious smells of meat overflowed, filling Liu Siling's nose and even his chest, tempting him to walk forward involuntarily~ At this moment, the scent was beyond Liu Siling's description. It was the "first news" of his life.
"Er... this gentleman, I don't know... I don't know if you can give me some of the meat in your hand? A little is fine, of course, I won't ask for your food for nothing. Don't look at it This dress on me is a bit dirty, but it's definitely worth $800, you see, I'm really a hungry..."
"Do you want to eat such stinky meat?" Before Liu Siling could finish speaking, the man who looked like a homeless man suddenly interrupted Liu Siling's words.
When he looked up, Liu Siling realized that this person was very different from what he had imagined.
Although it was already dark, Liu Siling was enough to take a rough look at this man just by the light of the fire. Looking at his appearance and the surrounding situation, Liu Siling originally thought that this was an ordinary middle-aged and elderly American homeless man. It's not uncommon to see him, they all have the same appearance, some loose skin, dazed or wary eyes, messy beard and hair, plus a little dirt or something.
But as soon as the man looked up, he realized that this man... this man didn't look like a tramp at all
Although his "coat" is indeed a bit unique, the collar of the underwear exposed at the neck is quite clean, and the skin is tight, without any dust and impurities, and the hair and beard that are not long are also well-groomed. The hands are also impeccably clean.
What surprised Liu Siling the most was his eyes
My God~ What kind of eyes are these?Even the thick night can't hide the breathtaking light, as if meeting him face to face, the whole person's mind will be sucked in, and the soul will be seen through by him. Although his voice is not natural, it is But it is also majestic and powerful, how is it like a homeless man who can't get enough to eat?
"Uh... what?" At this moment, Liu Siling's head froze, and he didn't hear the other party's question.
"I said, do you actually want to eat such stinky meat? If you are really hungry, I have some canned food here for you." As he spoke, the man actually took out a bottle of canned ham from his pocket , handed it out directly.
"What are you talking about? Why does this meat stink? It smells really good~ In fact, my dear sir, I have to admit that this is the most wonderful smell I've ever smelled in my life, I'm ashamed to say He is not a downcast person, and he has never seen a luxurious feast, but compared with this meat, those feasts are not even qualified to be on the stage." Seeing the other party seemed to have no malicious intentions, and Liu Siling walked away graciously. He went over and sat aside, but he didn't pick up the can, and still looked longingly at the piece of barbecue on the campfire that was exuding a wonderful taste.
What Liu Siling didn't realize was that just when he said that the taste of the meat was incomparably delicious, the eyes of the middle-aged man, who was not surprised at first, suddenly burst out with a terrifying light, and in an instant, there was an unstoppable murderous aura Roaring out from that person's heart, if it were another person or woman with a keener sixth sense sitting here, I'm afraid I'd be stunned and faint right away.
"Oh? Since you want it so much, I'll give it all to you~" As he spoke, the middle-aged man stared closely at Liu Siling, but handed over the meat in his hand.
Liu Siling was so hungry that he had no time to look at that person, so he just stared straight at the big piece of roast meat on the strange fork, and slowly wanted to reach out to catch it: "Oh, this ...how good is this..."
Before he could say the word "meaning", the middle-aged man suddenly stretched out his left hand, which was originally used to pick out cans, and grabbed Liu Siling's jaw. It is a pair of extremely hard pliers. From the feeling transmitted from the skin, you can know that it is impossible for you to break a pair of big hands.
In an instant, Liu Siling's heart flashed, and his mind was finally sober, and the feeling of drunkenness was taken away by the cold sweat pouring out of his body~
How did you get to such a ghostly place by yourself?If this person is some kind of perverted murderer, I don't even have a place to call for help and escape.
"It's strange, there are no teeth..." Before Liu Siling could turn the corner in his heart, the man murmured, and then let go of those terrifying big hands, staring at him inexplicably. Liu Siling looked at it fiercely.
"Ahem...cough cough cough...you...what are you doing?" Liu Siling backed away in shock, coughing and pointing at that person and asked.
"You said...you can smell the smell of this barbecue? Or is it very fragrant?" The man completely ignored Liu Siling's question and asked in a strange way.
"You're talking nonsense about the meat you grilled yourself. What smell can you not smell?" At this time, Liu Siling felt that this person was either a murderer or a psychopath, so he couldn't care about his hunger. What he wanted most right now was to get out of this ghostly place as soon as possible.
"That... kid, I'm really sorry just now, please forgive my abruptness, I really didn't mean to offend. That... can you please come closer? Open your mouth and let me have a good time Just look at your teeth~" the man said tentatively.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Siling was completely awake at this time, and was terribly afraid of this man, so he didn't want to get any closer. It was lucky that he didn't run away immediately.
"Don't worry~ don't worry~ I definitely don't mean to hurt you, I just want to see your teeth~ Look, I'm holding my left hand and my right is holding something, so I can't hurt you, right? Or , you come closer to the fire, I step back, the light is too dark in your place, I really just want to see your teeth~ Of course, in return, this whole piece of meat is yours."
As soon as he heard that the big piece of barbecue was his own, the glutton in Liu Siling's belly started to make noise again unconsciously. Seeing that the man really stepped back with his hands raised as he said, he boldly walked over again. , opened his mouth wide in the firelight.
In an instant, I felt a gust of wind rushing towards my face. Before Liu Siling could see what was going on, the man appeared in front of him again like a ghost, as if the distance of a few meters did not exist at all. This time, it really didn't hurt Liu Siling, but he just leaned over to take a closer look. Although Liu Siling was shocked, he was somewhat relieved of this person, but the curiosity in his heart was involuntarily raised~
Just look at the speed of this person just now...I x ~ Gatlin is not qualified to follow him and eat ashes
"It's weird. It's true that there are no fangs. If there are no fangs, it's not... how can it smell meat?" The man continued to mutter.
"You said nothing? I'm nothing?" Liu Siling was also angry and surprised, seeing that the man didn't hand over the barbecue, he couldn't help asking a little angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry, this piece of barbecue is for you...well, kid, can I ask you something?"
Liu Siling was really upset when he saw this person calling him "kid" all the time, but firstly, he seemed to belong to his uncle's generation, and secondly, he got the delicious barbecue, so he took a quick bite. With a big mouth, he whimpered and said: "If you have anything, you can ask, but I may not answer."
I x this meat smells so good?It is a rare and delicious grilled golden crispy outer skin and tender meat inside. It tastes neither like lamb, nor pork, nor beef, nor horse meat. Of course, judging by the size, it cannot be chicken, but It is so refreshing that it seems to melt in your mouth. Every time you chew, there are endless flavors echoing between your teeth. After swallowing the first bite, Liu Siling almost swallowed it with his tongue.
"Have you been bitten by any large, strange creature recently? Like a large red-eyed dog, or... a human?"
"What the hell?"
Liu Siling was savoring the wonderful taste of this barbecue, and suddenly listened to the mysterious middle-aged man's question, but felt that this man was most likely insane, he was fine, how could people bite?
"No~ I've been working recently, the people around me are normal, and I haven't been close to a dog, how could I be bitten." Said Liu Siling in a big way, eating the barbecue in his hand, and in this exciting place Amidst the dizzy delicious barbecue, the shock of losing a loved one seemed to recede from his heart. Even when he mentioned going to work and thought of Uncle David, there was only a strange throbbing in his heart, but he calmed down quickly. .
Then the man stopped asking questions, just stared curiously at Liu Siling who was eating meat, took out a bottle of wine from his bosom, and drank it one by one...
"Ah~~~ I'm so full~~~ I've never eaten such a delicious thing~" Liu Siling felt strange after eating a whole piece of meat. Eat up all the big pieces of meat~
Seeing that Liu Siling had finished eating, the strange middle-aged man also stood up, but his eyes were looking at the darkness ahead, extremely serious, as if what he was looking at was not the dark night or the dirty street walls at all, but some horror things in general.
"Um... sir, where did you get this meat? What kind of meat?" How could Liu Siling be willing to taste such a delicacy just once?Immediately, it was like asking where it came from, so that it is convenient for me to purchase.
It's just that he didn't expect that the middle-aged man lowered his head and gave him a strange smile when he said the words: "Little friend, forget everything about tonight~ Believe me, you probably won't have the chance to eat such meat again, so just eat it." Think it was a dream~”
After finishing speaking, that person actually ran out directly, and when Liu Siling was startled and looked back, was there any sign of the mysterious person?If it weren't for the unquenchable bonfire on the ground and her big belly, Liu Siling would have thought that she had run into a ghost tonight
"Damn~ what's this called, it's so late at night to see God Amen~ God Amen~~~" Shivering suddenly, Liu Siling made the sign of the cross on his chest and got up to leave in a hurry. I dare not come again...
It's strange to say that in the early morning of Christmas, after Liu Siling finally returned to the apartment, he just took a hot bath and felt a strong drowsiness for no reason, as if he had been struggling for a project for three days and three nights without closing his eyes Usually, almost as soon as he lay down on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep~
Fortunately, today is Christmas, the company will be on holiday, and those policemen didn't choose to disturb him today. When Liu Siling woke up, it was already late afternoon...it was almost evening.
"God~ I actually slept for ten hours..." Looking at the alarm clock next to the bed, Liu Siling muttered to herself while rubbing her hair.
Everything that happened in the early hours of the morning is still vivid, and Liu Siling remembers almost every detail clearly, but the more he remembers, the more he feels that it was a dream, because no matter how he guesses, the person he met later They all seem too mysterious and strange~
Liu Siling felt from the bottom of his heart that he should not delve into this matter, otherwise, he would really fall into an inexplicable quagmire like those old-fashioned plots on TV.Perhaps, just like what that person said before he disappeared, just treat it as a dream, everything has disappeared, and don't think about it again...
But, will fate really let him go so easily?
In the early hours of the morning, Liu Siling was very drunk. Even when he woke up later, his mind was somewhat dull. Secondly, his condition was really bad at that time. Coupled with the temptation of the strange barbecue, he temporarily forgot the pain of losing Uncle David.Now after waking up, the pain quickly occupied Liu Siling's entire mind. After washing, Liu Siling was eating the takeaway, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he also seemed to As if unconscious, he slowly chewed the food mixed with sour tears, and then swallowed it all...
After eating this meal and swallowing all his tears, Liu Siling slapped his face fiercely, then stared at himself in the mirror with his red eyes. He made up his mind in his heart: no matter what, he must find a way Help Uncle David get justice. The wound on his neck is like a blunt sharp weapon. The idiot knows that there is something behind Uncle David's death. How could it be a myocardial infarction?As long as I have breath, I must continue to investigate
In addition, although Aunt Susan has separated from Uncle David, the two have not yet officially divorced. She must have known the situation~ I wonder how she, a woman who is almost middle-aged, can accept this pain?I have no children, so I have to go there to comfort me no matter what~
After making up his mind, Liu Siling went out with some fruits and went straight to Aunt Susan's house while it was still dark.
When Aunt Susan opened the door, looking at her red eyes, Liu Siling knew that this woman, who must still love Uncle David even though she had separated from him, must have been heartbroken all night, and the two of them had another round of conversation. Crying does not need to be detailed.
After comforting Aunt Susan for a while, Liu Siling decided to get up and say goodbye, and promised to come to visit her tomorrow and accompany her to the police station to collect Uncle David's body, then Liu Siling left Aunt Susan's house.
"Hey~~~" Sitting in the taxi, Liu Siling sighed helplessly again.No matter how strong I tell myself to be, I still can't suppress the grief of losing a loved one, especially after seeing Aunt Susan crying in front of me, my tears are about to fall uncontrollably several times, but he is forced to cry hold back~
To be honest, although he has been comforting Aunt Susan, how can he feel better?
Since there is no cure for the heartbroken heart, it is better to continue to drink happily, at least, after getting drunk, all these pains and troubles will be forgotten one by one...
Coming to Kathryn's bar again, Liu Siling continued to get drunk on this noisy night.
Compared with Christmas, Westerners pay more attention to Christmas Eve. The difference is the same as Chinese people regard New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Therefore, the business of Kathryn Bar tonight is obviously better than last night, although it is not until eight o'clock in the evening , but the bar was already [-]% to [-]% full, Liu Siling found a secluded place and started drinking until his eyes were blurred, he finally found a little outlet for release, sitting there alone and talking Some or no drunk talk, during which it seemed that Uncle David was still sitting opposite him and chatting with him, crying and laughing at times, although the voice was not loud, everyone who saw him could feel the strong deep sorrow~
This was a feeling that didn't match the festive atmosphere of Christmas, so no one wanted to talk to him. Even in the end, even though the bar became more and more crowded, no one sat around him. I'm afraid, everyone They all want to stay away from this frustrated young man, so as not to be infected by his sorrow and sorrow in the new year.
The bar tonight seemed a little noisy, maybe it was the same as usual, but today's Liu Siling is not the previous Liu Siling.The hustle and bustle that he is used to on weekdays, now he sees it as noise, which makes him irritable, and an unknown fire can't help but ignite in his heart
He knew that if he continued to stay, he might inevitably have some conflicts with others in the middle of the night. Seeing that the time was approaching midnight, he might as well go home and go to bed. He happened to have to accompany Aunt Susan to the police station tomorrow.
Staggering out of the bar, Liu Siling originally wanted to call a car to go back, but it was strange, and when he came out, he was blown by the cold wind, and he couldn't help thinking of the "delicious meal" he enjoyed last night
Ah~ what a wonderful taste that is?Although I have been telling myself to forget, how can I easily forget the taste engraved in my heart?That kind of beauty is like the exciting and infinitely sweet lingering, lingering, lingering sweetness of a teenager enjoying his first night~
Thinking of this, looking at the bright street lamps, Liu Siling wrapped up his coat and resolutely walked towards the dark path in his memory~
Last night maybe it was because of his recklessness after being drunk, Liu Siling didn't feel the slightest fear when he walked crookedly from the bar to the alley, but tonight is really different~ Although he is still a little drunk, at least he is still sober, walking slowly on the road. It became dirty and messy, and the light of the street lamps gradually became distant, and he felt a gust of wind blowing in waves. It felt as if there was an invisible ghost, constantly surrounding him, speaking from time to time. The air from his mouth was blowing into his neck, making his skin feel cold
For the wonderful taste in his heart, he suppressed the urge to turn around and run away, and finally moved to the place where he was last night, but found that there was no one here, and even the fire that was used for barbecue last night had disappeared. ~ Except for a little more rubbish, it doesn't look like anyone has stayed here at all.
"Could it really be a dream last night? Impossible~ If it was a dream, how could you remember the details so clearly?" Liu Siling muttered in a low voice, but at this moment, a slightly larger The wind blew across the alley, and there was a low "woo woo woo" sound from somewhere. Although I knew it was just the sound of the wind, but in this dark and dim alley, it sounded like nothing. I feel more and more terrifying, especially when there are a lot of rubbish piled up around, but people can't see clearly in the dark night. The huge shadows are all kinds of strange, constantly yin* people's thoughts and develop in a terrifying direction...
December 2009, 12, at 24:[-] p.m., New York, USA.
For the people of the United States, Christmas Eve is sacred, peaceful and carnival.
Most European and American family members will reunite at home, have a big dinner together, and then sit around the burning stove, play the piano and sing, and share the family happiness.
Or, they will hold a special masquerade party to celebrate the coming Christmas all night long.
On the night before Christmas, parents will quietly prepare gifts for their children, and even, just like the plots in some movies, will specially hide these gifts in oversized stockings and hang them on the fireplace beside......
Of course, the above are all general situations. You must know that in reality, the most unpredictable thing is a kind of accident called accident with many fates. In fact, it was already doomed from the very beginning~ the wheel of fortune spins quietly , all people, all lives, cannot escape the arrangement of fate. Maybe you think that you have been abandoned long ago, but that is just that fate has not yet reached that important meeting point. When all the conditions are ripe, the new The chapter begins here
Even when you wake up, you will find that the whole world has changed, and the world view that has dominated your life for many years will collapse and destroy in an instant...
Liu Siling, a male of Chinese nationality, the third Mark Advertising Company, is already a senior assistant to the second in command of the creative department at a young age. Since 07, several projects in charge of him have been very successful, and he has been recognized by the entire company, including the CEO. Nei is regarded as another new talent in the advertising industry
The smooth career path is not only because of Liu Siling's strong strength and extraordinary intelligence, but also because of his immediate boss, the executive director of the creative department. In an advertising company, the executive director of the creative department is a well-deserved representative of real power And this middle-aged man named David Bode with curly white hair is a close friend of Liu Siling's adoptive parents in China
Everything seems to be going so smoothly. It seems that Liu Siling's life is about to usher in the most shining period in the dark. It seems that as long as he works for another two years, it will be natural for Liu Siling to take this position when Uncle David retires. things~
However, everything is only if
When Liu Siling rushed to work in the company this morning with a secretly bought gift, he was completely stunned by the bad news one after another like a bolt from the blue
It seems that in one night, everything that was familiar to me disappeared, and everything that I had before would disappear like a dream. Except for the heart-piercing pain, there was no trace left... .
Last night, over forty years old, Uncle David, who regarded Liu Siling as his own, died at home. The cause of death was an inexplicable sudden myocardial infarction. For Uncle David, who has always been diligent in exercising and has no history of heart disease almost impossible cause of death
In addition, David, Liu Siling, and Liu Siling's boss, Robert Pat, the second in command of the creative department, have been participating in Mark's annual biggest case. The world's retail giant - Wal-Mart's four latest projects have disappeared.
For a moment, the hearts of the entire Mark Company were fluctuating, but Liu Siling's world has since collapsed
Accompanied by the CEO, the distraught rushed to the morgue. What Liu Siling saw was the body of Uncle David, who had been dissected and put on a body bag. His pale complexion looked like spoiled tofu, and his neck was weird and terrifying. It's hard to associate the wound with natural death...
Then, before Liu Siling recovered from the pain of losing a loved one, the police came one after another, David died, the project disappeared, and Robert's whereabouts were still unknown. No matter from which angle, Liu Siling was quite suspicious, so Accompanied by the CEO of the company, for the first time in his life, Liu Siling stayed in the police station for a whole day, questioning and taking notes. Only then slowly walked out of the police station.
Looking around in a daze, the streets of New York, which I have gradually become familiar with on weekdays, are so noisy and hustle and bustle at this moment, there is not even a place for Liu Siling to be alone
After all, the CEO also had his own family to accompany him, so after a few words of concern, and after confirming that Liu Siling didn't want to go back to his residence, he had to sigh and leave alone.
And what about Liu Siling?He wanted to cry, but the tears had already dried up; he wanted to sigh, but his chest was tightly blocked, as if a mouthful of thick blood was about to gush out in the next moment; he wanted to go crazy, but his last rationality told him that now is not the time... ..
The distraught Liu Siling just wandered aimlessly all over the street, but when he realized it, he found that it was already dark, but he was standing at the door of a bar. The name of the bar was Kathryn, which translates to purity.
This is the place where Liu Siling and David drink and have fun together on weekdays. The owner of the shop is a nearly 50-year-old man who is blind in his left eye.The facade of the bar looks ordinary, but the interior decoration is quite tasteful. It is a good place for the middle class to relax after work.
On weekdays, it would be great to see this bar, but right now, standing in front of Kathryn's bar, Liu Siling has the urge to go crazy
Wake up overnight, everything is different, everything has been turned upside down, the bar is still there, but people are confused, after all, who else can accompany him to talk about life, complain and complain, and be harmonious like a friend, and like an elder What about kindness?
For a moment, Liu Siling desperately wanted to escape.Escape from this kathryn's bar, escape from this nightmare reality
But after taking one step forward, Liu Siling found that he had nowhere to go. Finally, he turned around and pushed open the door of the bar, deciding that this Christmas Eve, which he would never forget, would get drunk in this familiar bar and pay homage to his already cold relatives. .....
The second hand ticks, the minute hand moves quietly, and before you know it, the night is dark~
However, on a night like Christmas Eve, the darker the darkness, the more excited the American people are.
Those good men who stayed at home with their family and friends have naturally finished their sumptuous dinner and are doing some leisure activities with their families, while those young people who are still nostalgic for the streets and bars of New York are gradually getting high to the highest point of the night
Liu Siling, who had already drunk a little, was lying on a table in the corner of the bar in pain. During the period, people came and went, strange and sexy white women sat down, or invited him to have a drink, or allowed him to invite them Have a drink~ What's the difference?They are just lonely and lonely souls who want to find a short-term warm sustenance on this holy Christmas Eve~
However, they found the wrong partner tonight.
At this moment, Liu Siling's heart is full of pain, he just wants to get himself drunk, and then forget that heart-piercing pain, even if it's only temporary, even if he wakes up tomorrow and has to bear more troubles, he still hopes that for a moment he can put everything together I forgot everything, and even woke up to find that this was just a fleeting nightmare~
However, the reality is the reality. No matter how much he drank to relieve his worries, his Uncle David still left. What is even more disappointing is that at such a moment, Liu Siling, who used to be too much to drink, can't get drunk no matter how much he drinks. , There were already a few cans of beer and a bottle of Vodka lying on the table, but even so, although Liu Siling's stomach was burning and uncomfortable, and his eyes were a little blurry, why was his consciousness still so clear?
Could it be that the merciful Lord, on a night like Christmas Eve, would be stingy at giving him such a painful mortal a chance to get drunk?
"ten!"
"nine!"
"eight!"
"seven!"
"six!"
"five!"
"four!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
The countdown is approaching, and with the last shout of everyone toasting, the streets of New York are lit up with brilliant and beautiful fireworks. Countless fashionable men and women gather in front of the TV in the bar to celebrate the arrival of Christmas together. At this moment, The figure of Liu Siling who was left alone in the corner looked more and more lonely
In an instant, a drop of tears flashed away, quickly disappeared on the table, mixed with the flowing wine everywhere, without a trace...
It seems that in a blink of an eye, the old-fashioned hour hand has already climbed the highest peak at midnight, and it is early morning if you don't pay attention...
Even a metropolis like New York has gradually sunk into silence by this time, and even young people, no matter how energetic they are, will feel exhausted by this time~
So people scattered and went home, and the streets and bars gradually became deserted.
Just when the entire New York City was about to fall into a short sleep before dawn, Liu Siming was approaching a turning point in his life step by step.
Liu Siling, who had been drunk for a long time, finally got his wish and forgot all the sudden joys that happened today. At this moment, his whole head was muddy, his feet were floating, and he walked slowly towards his apartment with one step and two steps, almost crawling. .
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~~~~~"
An uncontrollable feeling of nausea rose from the lower abdomen, and it soared up like a milky way pouring down. No matter how hard Liu Siling used his hands to cover it, he couldn't cover it, and finally rolled down on the ground and vomited.
I don't know if it's beer or the yellow turbid liquid of bile. Accompanied by some snacks that have not yet been digested, all of them flowed onto the cold ground. After vomiting again and again, Liu Siling's stomach was already vomited upside down, but even so, the The feeling of nausea still hasn't dissipated, and I continued to retch for a while before the feeling finally subsided~
"Hehe...hehe...hahahaha~~~"
At this moment, Liu Siling's mind was absolutely unconscious, so he simply turned his side and fell beside his own vomit, even a lot of scattered hair was directly mixed with that disgusting thing, the whole person looked crooked in his clothes It's broken, and one of the leather shoes is missing, just like a poor homeless tramp, presumably even people who know him will find it difficult to connect him at this moment with the well-dressed and kind Liu Siling in the past ~
Covering his cheeks with his hands and laughing nervously for a while, it seemed that he could no longer restrain his physical and mental exhaustion. Liu Siling actually just fell asleep on the side of the road, in an unknown alley in New York City in the early morning.. ....
I don't know how long I slept. In the chaos, Liu Siling suddenly felt his head hurt, as if a small but powerful electric drill was drilling a hole in his brain. Liu Siling groaned and woke up slowly~
After beating his forehead for a while, the suffocating pain gradually dissipated. Liu Siling slowly opened his eyes, but what he saw was the dark alley and the soft light from the street lamps beside the road not far away.
"Ah... ah~~~" Just as he was about to sit up from the ground, Liu Siling suddenly found that his whole body was sore, and although his consciousness was still a little fuzzy, he was sure that the smell on his body was definitely not good.
"Damn...damn~ where am I?" Sitting on the ground in a daze for a while, Liu Siling thought of taking out her mobile phone. No matter what, it is true to call the taxi company first and call a taxi. In his current state, the possibility of being able to walk back to his residence alone is infinitely close to zero.
"Bastard~ Where is my phone?" After groping all over his body, Liu Siling suddenly found that he couldn't find his phone. Not only that, even his wallet disappeared along with it.
"Oh~ God, what did I do wrong? First, my relatives died, and then I was under investigation. I am still being ransacked after being drunk. Damn it. Could it be that today is my Good Friday? Damn Christmas Eve, damn it Christmas" sat on the ground and muttered for a while, Liu Siling finally realized that complaining could not solve any problems at the moment, so he had to force himself to stand up, planning to walk back slowly.
However, before he could take two steps, Liu Siling suddenly smelled an inexplicable smell, yes, it was the smell from the food when it was cooked, and it was so tempting that just by smelling this smell, Liu Siling could imagine that The delicious food grilled must be baked with an open flame. It is impossible for those damn electric ovens to enhance the taste of food to such an attractive level. The beautiful Liu Siling seems to have seen the scene of meat oil falling on the charcoal fire and making a sizzling sound
"Goo~~~"
I didn't feel it when I was in a daze before, but now that I am sober, and attracted by the smell of meat, Liu Siling suddenly felt extremely hungry , Can you not be hungry like this?
Sniffing his nose twice again, Liu Siling was sure that the food seemed to be not far away from him. Although he knew that he might not have his share, it was good to see it in the past, so he had to drag his tired body to the opposite direction. Go deeper into the alley slowly.
After walking two corners, Liu Siling could already see the fire, so he took two quick steps. When he turned another corner, he finally saw the source of the fire and the smell of meat in front of a messy dump.
What kind of scene was that?It has really exceeded the limit of Liu Siling's imagination.
In front of a pile of garbage piled up by various discarded refrigerators and color TV sets, a man with a beard and a heavy oily black shiny rag was sitting in front of a small campfire, holding a He took a three-bladed long fork of unknown material, and on the long fork, there was a large piece of meat of an unknown animal, and the golden oil that was being roasted was just when the deliciousness had reached its limit.
In such an environment, Liu Siling's groggy head was unable to think about why this happened in such a dilapidated place. It smells so good, even if he wants to take off his brand-name suit (of course it's a little dirty right now) and exchange it with him, he is willing to do so.
When Liu Siling stood blankly at the corner, hesitating whether to go forward, the man was clearly facing Liu Siling, but as if he hadn't seen such a big living person at all, he gathered the meat to his nose He took a deep sniff, then lifted the meat back to the bonfire, took out a handful of unknown powder from his bosom and sprinkled it on the meat.
Against the backdrop of the flames, as soon as the unknown powder came into contact with the roasted golden meat, it "huh" and turned into a ball of blue flames, completely enveloping the meat, and right here At the same time, more and more delicious smells of meat overflowed, filling Liu Siling's nose and even his chest, tempting him to walk forward involuntarily~ At this moment, the scent was beyond Liu Siling's description. It was the "first news" of his life.
"Er... this gentleman, I don't know... I don't know if you can give me some of the meat in your hand? A little is fine, of course, I won't ask for your food for nothing. Don't look at it This dress on me is a bit dirty, but it's definitely worth $800, you see, I'm really a hungry..."
"Do you want to eat such stinky meat?" Before Liu Siling could finish speaking, the man who looked like a homeless man suddenly interrupted Liu Siling's words.
When he looked up, Liu Siling realized that this person was very different from what he had imagined.
Although it was already dark, Liu Siling was enough to take a rough look at this man just by the light of the fire. Looking at his appearance and the surrounding situation, Liu Siling originally thought that this was an ordinary middle-aged and elderly American homeless man. It's not uncommon to see him, they all have the same appearance, some loose skin, dazed or wary eyes, messy beard and hair, plus a little dirt or something.
But as soon as the man looked up, he realized that this man... this man didn't look like a tramp at all
Although his "coat" is indeed a bit unique, the collar of the underwear exposed at the neck is quite clean, and the skin is tight, without any dust and impurities, and the hair and beard that are not long are also well-groomed. The hands are also impeccably clean.
What surprised Liu Siling the most was his eyes
My God~ What kind of eyes are these?Even the thick night can't hide the breathtaking light, as if meeting him face to face, the whole person's mind will be sucked in, and the soul will be seen through by him. Although his voice is not natural, it is But it is also majestic and powerful, how is it like a homeless man who can't get enough to eat?
"Uh... what?" At this moment, Liu Siling's head froze, and he didn't hear the other party's question.
"I said, do you actually want to eat such stinky meat? If you are really hungry, I have some canned food here for you." As he spoke, the man actually took out a bottle of canned ham from his pocket , handed it out directly.
"What are you talking about? Why does this meat stink? It smells really good~ In fact, my dear sir, I have to admit that this is the most wonderful smell I've ever smelled in my life, I'm ashamed to say He is not a downcast person, and he has never seen a luxurious feast, but compared with this meat, those feasts are not even qualified to be on the stage." Seeing the other party seemed to have no malicious intentions, and Liu Siling walked away graciously. He went over and sat aside, but he didn't pick up the can, and still looked longingly at the piece of barbecue on the campfire that was exuding a wonderful taste.
What Liu Siling didn't realize was that just when he said that the taste of the meat was incomparably delicious, the eyes of the middle-aged man, who was not surprised at first, suddenly burst out with a terrifying light, and in an instant, there was an unstoppable murderous aura Roaring out from that person's heart, if it were another person or woman with a keener sixth sense sitting here, I'm afraid I'd be stunned and faint right away.
"Oh? Since you want it so much, I'll give it all to you~" As he spoke, the middle-aged man stared closely at Liu Siling, but handed over the meat in his hand.
Liu Siling was so hungry that he had no time to look at that person, so he just stared straight at the big piece of roast meat on the strange fork, and slowly wanted to reach out to catch it: "Oh, this ...how good is this..."
Before he could say the word "meaning", the middle-aged man suddenly stretched out his left hand, which was originally used to pick out cans, and grabbed Liu Siling's jaw. It is a pair of extremely hard pliers. From the feeling transmitted from the skin, you can know that it is impossible for you to break a pair of big hands.
In an instant, Liu Siling's heart flashed, and his mind was finally sober, and the feeling of drunkenness was taken away by the cold sweat pouring out of his body~
How did you get to such a ghostly place by yourself?If this person is some kind of perverted murderer, I don't even have a place to call for help and escape.
"It's strange, there are no teeth..." Before Liu Siling could turn the corner in his heart, the man murmured, and then let go of those terrifying big hands, staring at him inexplicably. Liu Siling looked at it fiercely.
"Ahem...cough cough cough...you...what are you doing?" Liu Siling backed away in shock, coughing and pointing at that person and asked.
"You said...you can smell the smell of this barbecue? Or is it very fragrant?" The man completely ignored Liu Siling's question and asked in a strange way.
"You're talking nonsense about the meat you grilled yourself. What smell can you not smell?" At this time, Liu Siling felt that this person was either a murderer or a psychopath, so he couldn't care about his hunger. What he wanted most right now was to get out of this ghostly place as soon as possible.
"That... kid, I'm really sorry just now, please forgive my abruptness, I really didn't mean to offend. That... can you please come closer? Open your mouth and let me have a good time Just look at your teeth~" the man said tentatively.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Siling was completely awake at this time, and was terribly afraid of this man, so he didn't want to get any closer. It was lucky that he didn't run away immediately.
"Don't worry~ don't worry~ I definitely don't mean to hurt you, I just want to see your teeth~ Look, I'm holding my left hand and my right is holding something, so I can't hurt you, right? Or , you come closer to the fire, I step back, the light is too dark in your place, I really just want to see your teeth~ Of course, in return, this whole piece of meat is yours."
As soon as he heard that the big piece of barbecue was his own, the glutton in Liu Siling's belly started to make noise again unconsciously. Seeing that the man really stepped back with his hands raised as he said, he boldly walked over again. , opened his mouth wide in the firelight.
In an instant, I felt a gust of wind rushing towards my face. Before Liu Siling could see what was going on, the man appeared in front of him again like a ghost, as if the distance of a few meters did not exist at all. This time, it really didn't hurt Liu Siling, but he just leaned over to take a closer look. Although Liu Siling was shocked, he was somewhat relieved of this person, but the curiosity in his heart was involuntarily raised~
Just look at the speed of this person just now...I x ~ Gatlin is not qualified to follow him and eat ashes
"It's weird. It's true that there are no fangs. If there are no fangs, it's not... how can it smell meat?" The man continued to mutter.
"You said nothing? I'm nothing?" Liu Siling was also angry and surprised, seeing that the man didn't hand over the barbecue, he couldn't help asking a little angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry, this piece of barbecue is for you...well, kid, can I ask you something?"
Liu Siling was really upset when he saw this person calling him "kid" all the time, but firstly, he seemed to belong to his uncle's generation, and secondly, he got the delicious barbecue, so he took a quick bite. With a big mouth, he whimpered and said: "If you have anything, you can ask, but I may not answer."
I x this meat smells so good?It is a rare and delicious grilled golden crispy outer skin and tender meat inside. It tastes neither like lamb, nor pork, nor beef, nor horse meat. Of course, judging by the size, it cannot be chicken, but It is so refreshing that it seems to melt in your mouth. Every time you chew, there are endless flavors echoing between your teeth. After swallowing the first bite, Liu Siling almost swallowed it with his tongue.
"Have you been bitten by any large, strange creature recently? Like a large red-eyed dog, or... a human?"
"What the hell?"
Liu Siling was savoring the wonderful taste of this barbecue, and suddenly listened to the mysterious middle-aged man's question, but felt that this man was most likely insane, he was fine, how could people bite?
"No~ I've been working recently, the people around me are normal, and I haven't been close to a dog, how could I be bitten." Said Liu Siling in a big way, eating the barbecue in his hand, and in this exciting place Amidst the dizzy delicious barbecue, the shock of losing a loved one seemed to recede from his heart. Even when he mentioned going to work and thought of Uncle David, there was only a strange throbbing in his heart, but he calmed down quickly. .
Then the man stopped asking questions, just stared curiously at Liu Siling who was eating meat, took out a bottle of wine from his bosom, and drank it one by one...
"Ah~~~ I'm so full~~~ I've never eaten such a delicious thing~" Liu Siling felt strange after eating a whole piece of meat. Eat up all the big pieces of meat~
Seeing that Liu Siling had finished eating, the strange middle-aged man also stood up, but his eyes were looking at the darkness ahead, extremely serious, as if what he was looking at was not the dark night or the dirty street walls at all, but some horror things in general.
"Um... sir, where did you get this meat? What kind of meat?" How could Liu Siling be willing to taste such a delicacy just once?Immediately, it was like asking where it came from, so that it is convenient for me to purchase.
It's just that he didn't expect that the middle-aged man lowered his head and gave him a strange smile when he said the words: "Little friend, forget everything about tonight~ Believe me, you probably won't have the chance to eat such meat again, so just eat it." Think it was a dream~”
After finishing speaking, that person actually ran out directly, and when Liu Siling was startled and looked back, was there any sign of the mysterious person?If it weren't for the unquenchable bonfire on the ground and her big belly, Liu Siling would have thought that she had run into a ghost tonight
"Damn~ what's this called, it's so late at night to see God Amen~ God Amen~~~" Shivering suddenly, Liu Siling made the sign of the cross on his chest and got up to leave in a hurry. I dare not come again...
It's strange to say that in the early morning of Christmas, after Liu Siling finally returned to the apartment, he just took a hot bath and felt a strong drowsiness for no reason, as if he had been struggling for a project for three days and three nights without closing his eyes Usually, almost as soon as he lay down on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep~
Fortunately, today is Christmas, the company will be on holiday, and those policemen didn't choose to disturb him today. When Liu Siling woke up, it was already late afternoon...it was almost evening.
"God~ I actually slept for ten hours..." Looking at the alarm clock next to the bed, Liu Siling muttered to herself while rubbing her hair.
Everything that happened in the early hours of the morning is still vivid, and Liu Siling remembers almost every detail clearly, but the more he remembers, the more he feels that it was a dream, because no matter how he guesses, the person he met later They all seem too mysterious and strange~
Liu Siling felt from the bottom of his heart that he should not delve into this matter, otherwise, he would really fall into an inexplicable quagmire like those old-fashioned plots on TV.Perhaps, just like what that person said before he disappeared, just treat it as a dream, everything has disappeared, and don't think about it again...
But, will fate really let him go so easily?
In the early hours of the morning, Liu Siling was very drunk. Even when he woke up later, his mind was somewhat dull. Secondly, his condition was really bad at that time. Coupled with the temptation of the strange barbecue, he temporarily forgot the pain of losing Uncle David.Now after waking up, the pain quickly occupied Liu Siling's entire mind. After washing, Liu Siling was eating the takeaway, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he also seemed to As if unconscious, he slowly chewed the food mixed with sour tears, and then swallowed it all...
After eating this meal and swallowing all his tears, Liu Siling slapped his face fiercely, then stared at himself in the mirror with his red eyes. He made up his mind in his heart: no matter what, he must find a way Help Uncle David get justice. The wound on his neck is like a blunt sharp weapon. The idiot knows that there is something behind Uncle David's death. How could it be a myocardial infarction?As long as I have breath, I must continue to investigate
In addition, although Aunt Susan has separated from Uncle David, the two have not yet officially divorced. She must have known the situation~ I wonder how she, a woman who is almost middle-aged, can accept this pain?I have no children, so I have to go there to comfort me no matter what~
After making up his mind, Liu Siling went out with some fruits and went straight to Aunt Susan's house while it was still dark.
When Aunt Susan opened the door, looking at her red eyes, Liu Siling knew that this woman, who must still love Uncle David even though she had separated from him, must have been heartbroken all night, and the two of them had another round of conversation. Crying does not need to be detailed.
After comforting Aunt Susan for a while, Liu Siling decided to get up and say goodbye, and promised to come to visit her tomorrow and accompany her to the police station to collect Uncle David's body, then Liu Siling left Aunt Susan's house.
"Hey~~~" Sitting in the taxi, Liu Siling sighed helplessly again.No matter how strong I tell myself to be, I still can't suppress the grief of losing a loved one, especially after seeing Aunt Susan crying in front of me, my tears are about to fall uncontrollably several times, but he is forced to cry hold back~
To be honest, although he has been comforting Aunt Susan, how can he feel better?
Since there is no cure for the heartbroken heart, it is better to continue to drink happily, at least, after getting drunk, all these pains and troubles will be forgotten one by one...
Coming to Kathryn's bar again, Liu Siling continued to get drunk on this noisy night.
Compared with Christmas, Westerners pay more attention to Christmas Eve. The difference is the same as Chinese people regard New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Therefore, the business of Kathryn Bar tonight is obviously better than last night, although it is not until eight o'clock in the evening , but the bar was already [-]% to [-]% full, Liu Siling found a secluded place and started drinking until his eyes were blurred, he finally found a little outlet for release, sitting there alone and talking Some or no drunk talk, during which it seemed that Uncle David was still sitting opposite him and chatting with him, crying and laughing at times, although the voice was not loud, everyone who saw him could feel the strong deep sorrow~
This was a feeling that didn't match the festive atmosphere of Christmas, so no one wanted to talk to him. Even in the end, even though the bar became more and more crowded, no one sat around him. I'm afraid, everyone They all want to stay away from this frustrated young man, so as not to be infected by his sorrow and sorrow in the new year.
The bar tonight seemed a little noisy, maybe it was the same as usual, but today's Liu Siling is not the previous Liu Siling.The hustle and bustle that he is used to on weekdays, now he sees it as noise, which makes him irritable, and an unknown fire can't help but ignite in his heart
He knew that if he continued to stay, he might inevitably have some conflicts with others in the middle of the night. Seeing that the time was approaching midnight, he might as well go home and go to bed. He happened to have to accompany Aunt Susan to the police station tomorrow.
Staggering out of the bar, Liu Siling originally wanted to call a car to go back, but it was strange, and when he came out, he was blown by the cold wind, and he couldn't help thinking of the "delicious meal" he enjoyed last night
Ah~ what a wonderful taste that is?Although I have been telling myself to forget, how can I easily forget the taste engraved in my heart?That kind of beauty is like the exciting and infinitely sweet lingering, lingering, lingering sweetness of a teenager enjoying his first night~
Thinking of this, looking at the bright street lamps, Liu Siling wrapped up his coat and resolutely walked towards the dark path in his memory~
Last night maybe it was because of his recklessness after being drunk, Liu Siling didn't feel the slightest fear when he walked crookedly from the bar to the alley, but tonight is really different~ Although he is still a little drunk, at least he is still sober, walking slowly on the road. It became dirty and messy, and the light of the street lamps gradually became distant, and he felt a gust of wind blowing in waves. It felt as if there was an invisible ghost, constantly surrounding him, speaking from time to time. The air from his mouth was blowing into his neck, making his skin feel cold
For the wonderful taste in his heart, he suppressed the urge to turn around and run away, and finally moved to the place where he was last night, but found that there was no one here, and even the fire that was used for barbecue last night had disappeared. ~ Except for a little more rubbish, it doesn't look like anyone has stayed here at all.
"Could it really be a dream last night? Impossible~ If it was a dream, how could you remember the details so clearly?" Liu Siling muttered in a low voice, but at this moment, a slightly larger The wind blew across the alley, and there was a low "woo woo woo" sound from somewhere. Although I knew it was just the sound of the wind, but in this dark and dim alley, it sounded like nothing. I feel more and more terrifying, especially when there are a lot of rubbish piled up around, but people can't see clearly in the dark night. The huge shadows are all kinds of strange, constantly yin* people's thoughts and develop in a terrifying direction...
