The Killer's Cleansing Manual

1

——Lake City——

The alarm clock ticked softly, and a simple hand reached out from under the quilt to stop it. At the same time, the reminder of her 30th birthday schedule was also turned off.

Lin Shanjuan got out of bed to wash up, his long, sleek legs gliding through the morning light as he walked to the bathroom. He looked up and saw the person in the mirror had dark circles under his eyes and a numb expression on his face.

Perhaps it was because she'd been alone for too long, even though she'd been solitary for the past few years, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She didn't have many friends, and her early professional habits had made her dislike others intruding into her private space, so today, she only planned to invite one guest.

Maybe it's a kitten, maybe... it's a puppy?

After having a simple breakfast, Lin Shanjuan went downstairs, started the car and drove straight to the pet shop.

Looking back at her earlier days when she was still a child—that's what she usually called her days before she became a killer.

At that time, she really wanted to have a kitten, so that at least after completing her task, she would have some warmth waiting for her when she returned home.

A few years ago, she had completely forgotten this little wish, but now, for some reason, she suddenly remembered it again.

Half an hour later, she parked the car in front of the pet shop, got out and took a quick look at the front of the pet shop, feeling slightly satisfied.

It is worthy of being the pet shop with the highest online reviews. At least the appearance is worthy of the title.

The doorbell rang pleasantly as she pushed the door. This door separated reality from the spiritual utopia. Countless soft little things meowed and looked at her. Lin Shanjuan stopped moving and tried his best to restrain the urge to buy them all.

"...Yes, okay...Thank you."

She heard a very familiar voice, she didn't know why, but it was very familiar.

Turning her head, a girl who was softer and cuter than a kitten appeared in her sight.

The man was sitting behind a table not far away, answering the phone, and didn't seem to have time to look over. This gave Lin Shanjuan the opportunity to take the first look at her.

Very beautiful facial features. For some reason, Lin Shanjuan felt that this face was very familiar, even more familiar than her voice.

After a moment, the girl hung up the phone and looked over.

Lin Shanjuan could see that she seemed stunned, perhaps because of him. Her fingers were slowly curling up, her eyes were staring at him without blinking, and her lower lip began to tremble slightly. She seemed to be trying hard to restrain some emotion.

Similar to... lost and found?

The fair skin, affectionate eyes, and the affectionate emotions contained in them all made Lin Shanjuan feel as if he was in another world.

She was sure she had seen this girl somewhere, but she had no recollection of it.

"you……"

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes. She suddenly stood up, walked a few steps to Lin Shanjuan, and threw herself into her arms without warning.

Lin Shanjuan subconsciously wanted to push him away, but the girl hugged him tighter and tighter, murmuring her name almost sobbingly.

"Tiny..."

Lin Shanjuan felt her mind go blank. She seemed to see a blurry, fragmented picture. A bright, elegantly dressed woman, a pink kimono gracefully picking flowers in a garden filled with pink blossoms, a bright red wedding dress...

So many scenes made Lin Shanjuan stand there in a daze. She didn't know where she had seen these scenes before, but there was no doubt that these scenes had really happened.

It even happened right before her eyes.

The girl's sobs became louder and louder. Lin Shanjuan seemed to be controlled by the crying. He slowly and stiffly hugged her back, and then patted her back again and again.

She didn't understand why she wanted to do this, as if there was some irresistible force forcing her to do so.

She felt depressed, as if it was because the girl was crying and she felt distressed.

? !

Lin Shanjuan suddenly realized something was wrong, but she still pushed him away. "Why would I feel bad for someone I don't even know? Am I crazy?"

But the next second, when she saw the girl's tearful face and the disappointment in her eyes as if she was hurt, the feeling of heartache became more and more obvious, and she even began to have difficulty breathing.

The girl stopped crying immediately. She came closer again and put her arms around Lin Shanjuan's waist without saying a word. She held her face with her other hand, her eyes full of worry.

"Juan'er, are you okay?"

She performed such intimate postures and movements extremely naturally, and what surprised Lin Shanjuan was that she didn't even have the slightest intention of pushing him away.

On the contrary, she felt that such close contact was very familiar.

"You..." She looked at her uncertainly, "Have you seen me?"

The girl was slightly startled, and Lin Shanjuan didn't miss the flash of disappointment in her eyes. She was about to say something, but the girl's behavior became even bolder.

She pressed her whole body against him, put her arms around Lin Shanjuan's neck, and kissed her on the lips.

Lin Shanjuan was completely stunned, especially when she realized that she was very familiar with this smell, and——

She took the initiative and pushed the person against the wall, opened her lips and teeth, and put her arms around her waist.

This sudden and confusing kiss seemed to be guided by someone, but also seemed to be something engraved in the body.

In short, their tacit understanding seemed natural, and this sudden intimacy did not make people feel strange, but made Lin Shanjuan enjoy it very much.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Lin Shanjuan stared at those watery eyes and realized how absurd it was. She covered her lips, which had been sucked red, with the back of her hand and uttered two words under the girl's expectant gaze: "Sorry."

The person opposite was obviously stunned. She seemed to see that Lin Shanjuan wanted to leave, and subconsciously grabbed her sleeve.

"...Why are you apologizing?"

Lin Shanjuan was speechless. Although it was the girl who came closer to him, he did not push her away after all. So he didn't know what to say for a moment.

and.

For some reason, being looked at by this girl with such a tearful expression, I felt that if I left like this, I would be like a heartless man who had let someone down.

"I..." Lin Shanjuan averted his gaze and took a step back to create some distance. "Nothing. I'm sorry about what happened just now."

The girl frowned slightly, and Lin Shanjuan could see her grievance from the corner of his eye, but also her displeasure and annoyance.

She seemed to take a breath, then loosened her hand, apparently trying hard to control her emotions.

"Are you here to buy a kitten?"

Lin Shanjuan suddenly became alert and began to look around, looking for a direction to leave safely.

"how do you know?"

The girl seemed helpless, and turned her back, but her eyes were fixed on the reflection in the glass, seizing every opportunity to depict her lover with her eyes.

"If you want to buy a kitten, just look around."

Lin Shanjuan watched her walk to the counter, took out a business card, and then walked up to her and handed it to her.

"If you haven't made up your mind yet, you can leave my contact information and contact me anytime when you have made up your mind."

Lin Shanjuan glanced at the business card, and the name on it made her suddenly lose her mind -

Qi Zhaomian.

Strangely, this familiar feeling resurfaces. It's not just a "I seem to have heard it somewhere" feeling, but rather—

“I seem to have called a thousand times.”

Qi Zhaomian just thought that she didn't want to answer, and he felt even more uncomfortable, so he simply stuffed the business card into her pocket.

Lin Shanjuan raised his eyes and met her expression that refused to be rejected: "I hope you can keep it, and, in exchange, I hope you will also leave your contact information."

This request was completely baffling to Lin Shanjuan. She sneered and refused, "I don't have this habit."

Such an indifferent attitude made Qi Zhaomian very unhappy. She pressed the corners of her lips, grabbed the person who wanted to leave, leaned over to hug Lin Shanjuan, and kissed her familiarly.

Lin Shanjuan was startled and subconsciously pushed away, but when her hands touched the soft body, the familiar feeling that could control everything controlled her actions again and kept her in place.

This stiff posture continued until Qi Zhaomian took the initiative to step back.

Lin Shanjuan stood there in a daze, and saw the woman opposite him showing a sly satisfaction.

"I want your contact information." She raised her phone and waved it at Lin Shan. "I need the information to get in touch with you, otherwise you can't leave."

Lin Shan licked his teeth wearily as the two of them faced off in silence. In the end, she gave in. After all, she had lived a quiet life for so many years, and she didn't want to cause any trouble. So she simply went along with her wishes, feigning composure and leaving a random number. Only then was she able to escape.

The strange feeling of familiarity was inexplicable. Lin Shanjuan returned home and pondered for a long time, but she had no idea what was going on. She had no one to talk to, and she didn't want to admit that she had fallen in love at first sight. Such a ridiculous thing would never happen to her, so she just thought it was just her age and perhaps she needed to relieve her loneliness.

Especially since that day, she always dreamed of herself in ancient costume and having an ambiguous entanglement with that woman for the past half month.

They seemed to love each other very much. She was very careful not to hurt her, so she gave her body to him wholeheartedly and let him torment her.

When I woke up from my nap, I was wet again.

Lin Shanjuan rubbed his face and sighed with extreme helplessness.

Maybe it's just that I've reached that age where even though I have no desires or wants in my heart, my body always acts up?

It’s quite funny to think about it, that a person who is used to being indifferent will one day feel lonely and need to relieve himself.

Lin Shanjuan rubbed his hair, got up, changed his clothes, went downstairs to get in the car, and headed straight to the city center.

She was distracted while driving, and when she came to her senses, she happened to stop at the pet shop where she had been last time and wait for the red light.

"Tsk..." She sighed, as if mocking herself for being such an impulsive young person, deliberately circling around someone else's door.

Since she was already there, she simply allowed herself to look at the store. When the green light came on, the lights in the store went out and the woman pushed open the door and walked out.

She was wearing a floral dress, with her fair and tender shoulders exposed to the air. Lin Shanjuan inexplicably felt that any air that could kiss her shoulders was lucky.

Tsk, you really are...

"drop--"

The impatient urging of the car that had been waiting behind her for a long time brought her back to her senses and also attracted Qi Zhaomian who was closing the door.

She paused in locking the door because she saw Lin Shanjuan turning around to start the car.

With the corners of his lips raised, Qi Zhaomian locked the door, threw the small bag into the passenger seat, used his index finger to push aside the bangs blocking his eyes, stepped on the accelerator and followed the direction of the white car.

Yulin Road, is she going to the city center?

Half an hour later, Qi Zhaomian parked his car next to Lin Shanjuan's car.

She got out of the car and looked up. When she saw the words "Buddha statue", the corners of her lips were so tight that they could not be suppressed any further.

Not only did you give me a fake number to cut off contact, but you also came here?

She picked up her bag and went in. The deafening music seemed to break free from its restraints and be wrapped into her arms after she pushed open the door. Qi Zhaomian covered her ears uncomfortably and searched for the face in the dim and ambiguous atmosphere light.

Her skirt was not suitable for the environment, so as soon as she appeared, she attracted most people's attention, especially her graceful and noble appearance, and her casually raised eyebrows exuded attractive charm.

She always ignored the gazes of others, passing through many people hugging and dancing, and finally saw the woman who was casually tasting wine at the bar.
