I Have 48 Hours a Day

Vol 2 Chapter 21: It's almost time to get out

Zhang Heng lowered the utility knife in his hand, cut through Zhang Jingli's thumb, and saw the flesh below. In a static world, living things do not follow the rules that take effect when touched, so blood in the blood vessels will not flow. , But the color of the blood inside can still be clearly seen after cutting.

Unlike the black blood on Zhang Jingli's calf, the same red blood was flowing in the veins of his hand. As a precaution, Zhang Heng scraped the blood from his calf and found that only the upper layer was black. At this point, Zhang Heng can be sure that Zhang Jingli is not the thing he met before, just an ordinary child in the welfare home, but he should have a certain relationship with that thing, otherwise he wo n’t voluntarily top the tank and hide gauze on the bed. Even at the expense of inserting arrows into his calf, even adults may not have this kind of vigor.

But he obviously didn't know the cost of doing this. If Zhang Heng was not aware of the abnormality of the staff in the welfare institution, as long as the utility knife was pressed down a little more, Zhang Jingli would have a hard time living.

Zhang Heng put away the utility knife in his hand. His target tonight is that monster, not the cynical kid in the children's welfare home, but if Zhang Jingli is not the one who attacked them tonight, then where is the person who attacked them tonight?

It has been more than twenty hours since he entered the still world, and in about two hours, the starfish ’s hour hand will make a full circle. If the time to return is also counted, there should be only one and a half of the activities left for him. Hours or so, and Zhang Heng has already searched the main building of the Children's Welfare Institute almost at this moment. Except for Zhang Jingli, he found no questionable targets.

If the other party just made a bandage in the orphanage and left, it is undoubtedly the worst case for Zhang Heng, because it is difficult to perform the previous wide-ranging search in the remaining time, but Zhang Heng does not think that the other party Choosing an orphanage is only accidental. Children living in children's orphanages like Zhang Jingli rarely contact the outside world, and many of them do not trust outsiders for various reasons.

However, the situation of the children's orphanage is indeed not like that of a newly lost child, so there is only one possibility left.

Zhang Heng returned to the archive room not far from the B room, found the adoption records of the most recent period, and turned out the files of the adopted children in the most recent period in turn according to the names above.

Zhang Heng originally thought it would take a while, but when he saw one of the files in the file, he was there because he knew the people above.

——Zhao Xiaotian, the name is new in the orphanage, but the person in the photo Zhang Heng is no stranger. It was the child he saved when he first encountered the monster that could melt the wall. He was at the time I tried to rescue the old woman who had picked up the wasteland when I passed the remote alley, but it was unsuccessful, and in the end, I had to take her little grandson beside me.

He later went to the police station to report the case and left the child there. According to regulations, if the police station couldn't find other relatives of the child, he would be sent to the welfare home, so Zhao Xiaotian entered here about a month ago. Home welfare home.

Coincidentally, just a few days after Christmas Eve, Zhang Heng once saw Zhao Xiaotian again in the corner of the amusement park, but he only saw the other person's back in the crowd, and he did not contact that back with Zhao Xiaotian at the time. Together, together with Hase Asuka and the boy chasing her out of the haunted house, Zhang Heng didn't take this matter to heart.

But now when I look back, there are actually a lot of doubts on Zhao Xiaotian's body. In the preconceived situation, both Zhang Heng and the policewoman responsible for recording confessions at the police station thought that Zhao Xiaotian was the grandson of the elderly man who was scavenged for waste. The incident played the role of a victim, but in fact, there is no evidence to prove that there is a blood relationship between the two. In this kind of low-level homeless people, in order to send loneliness, to live through sadness together, there are many that have nothing to do with People also go with each other.

Especially when the black liquid swallowed up the scavengers, Zhao Xiaotian just stood by and watched quietly, not crying or making trouble. Zhang Heng thought he was frightened at the time, but his performance was just as good. Interpreted as a hunter admiring his masterpiece.

Shen Xixi once said that the object of this thing is the scavengers at the edge of the city. What could be easier to approach them than to become one of them, and let them relax their vigilance, plus the age of Zhao Xiaotian, most of them pick up waste No one would be wary of him. He was like a wolf with his tail in the flock. No one found his true identity, and he could choose his dinner without any hassle.

So now the only question left is where is Zhao Xiaotian?

Zhang Heng saw on the file that Zhao Xiaotian was adopted by a middle-aged couple who couldn't have children two days ago. The other's address was in a mid-range neighborhood on the Fourth Ring Road.

But Zhang Heng didn't start in a hurry. Zhao Xiaotian was the most cunning opponent he encountered, and was very good at disguising himself. So far he has caused Zhang Heng to make three misjudgements.

In addition to Zhang Heng treating him as a victim when he first met, he also tried to confuse Zhang Heng with Li Shengzhang at the top of the library, but the preparation time left for him was too short, and Zhang Heng turned around at a critical moment. The target of Reese] was followed by this confrontation of the Children's Welfare Institute. Zhang Jingli willingly cooperated with him ~ www.readwn.com ~ His layout this time was even more confusing.

Zhang Heng believes that Zhao Xiaotian's inducing himself to kill Zhang Jingli is definitely not the end, but the beginning of the counterattack. He should also have follow-up arrangements. If Zhang Heng really steps into the trap, it is likely that he will be charged with a murderer. Heng certainly has some game props with supernatural powers and rich life experience, but this is not Nassau in the 18th century. His personal power cannot compete with the state machine. Even if he can escape the follow-up investigation, he can only He spent the rest of his life in the dark.

This is also consistent with the consistent characteristics of that thing. He knows human society very well. Not only has he been hunting carefully, avoiding the attention of the public and the authorities, but also using the rules of human society to solve his own threats. His only omission is The only thing I don't know is that Zhang Heng has an extra 24 hours a day.

With Zhang Heng's understanding of that thing, he usually does n’t leave when he makes a hunting plan, but hides in place. On the one hand, it is more conducive for him to control the direction of things. On the other hand, he seems to like it. See firsthand the futile struggle and resistance of the prey.

But this time, he apparently set himself on fire.

Zhang Heng took out the design drawing of the child welfare home from the archives room, and searched the welfare home again while holding the design drawing. This time he finally made a new discovery. The length of the corridor on the second floor was shorter than that indicated on the design drawing. 50cm, and there are no windows on the plan, in other words the structure of this wall has been changed.

"It's almost time to get out."

Zhang Heng left the children's orphanage and turned to the building site next door. When he returned ten minutes later, he had an extra hammer for demolition.
