last hunter

Chapter 1, Overture

On the street late at night, fallen leaves are falling quietly.

A few piercing sirens pierced the night sky, red and blue light flashed past, and the speeding wheels ran over a thick layer of dead leaves, leaving a few glaring marks mercilessly.

The homeless man on the bench wrapped himself tightly in the torn quilt, and hadn't been restless for the past few nights.

As if realizing that something was missing around him, he whistled and looked for his partner, the stray dog.

"Honey." The tramp breathed a sigh of relief.The matted yellow terrier seemed content and purred.

The homeless man got up, "Come and see what food you found."

The dirt dog spit out the few remaining bones in its mouth in front of the tramp.

"Ah-!!!!!!!!!!" The homeless man showed a hideous and terrifying expression.

It was a human hand that was bitten off!

The news with the same headline kept being pushed on the mobile phone, "Another female middle school student in this city is missing. I hope citizens who know the information contact the police."

.......

An unnamed small town in the north.

This year is extremely cold, and it is not time for heating, so everyone is thinking about hiding at home and not coming out.

Tobacco company's family courtyard, a small gray-blue five-story building.

The leaves of the ivy have long since fallen off, and the dead vines are like tangled hair, lying on their stomachs gray.

"Boom, boom, boom." There was a loud knock on the door.

"Here we come." The busy figure in the kitchen stopped hurriedly and ran out to open the door.

"Mother Xiaohui, Xiaohui passed out on the road and was taken to the hospital. Go and see her."

The middle-aged woman with a round face trembled, dropped the spatula to the ground, and looked nervously at Grandma Chen outside the door.

"I, I'm going to call our old Lin, which hospital?" The woman wiped her hands on the apron unconsciously.

"It's the town hospital. There is a phone in Xiaohui's schoolbag. The hospital just called, but no one answered your extension, so I transferred to the reception room on the first floor." The old lady looked at the flustered woman in front of her sympathetically. , The child is not in good health, and it is also pitiful.

"I, I didn't turn off the gas." The woman's face was pale, the key was tightly clutched in her hand, she stepped halfway out and wanted to retract.

"You go, I'll lock you up." Grandma Chen stepped into the house and pushed the woman out. Neighbors, they just want to take care of each other.

Grandma Chen turned off the gas in the kitchen, and when she turned her head and saw that the TV in the living room was still on, she began to search for the remote control on the coffee table.

On the screen behind her, the female news anchor of the city station was full of bitterness and hatred.

"Recently, a number of female students have disappeared again. I hope the general public can provide relevant information..."

In the current world, Grandma Chen shook her head.

Press the power off button on the remote control.

On the hospital bed, the pale girl's brows moved, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Xiaohui."

Lao Lin and his wife were finally relieved. Their daughter had a bad heart since she was a child. Today she passed out on the way home from school. Fortunately, she was found by a kind passer-by and sent to the hospital. The hospital also knew her, so they quickly contacted her parents.

In such a cold day, if someone happened to pass by, the child would not have been frozen.

"Dad, Mom." Lin Xiaohui's eyes were lost for a moment, and then slowly lit up again. "I'm fine."

"It's okay, it's okay. The doctor said that you may have palpitations. You stepped on the ground and fell into the ditch next to you. You passed out suddenly. There is no trauma. If you don't feel uncomfortable, go home with your parents." Lao Lin rubbed Rough hands, he is an employee of a tobacco factory, and it is the peak season before the Chinese New Year.

Lin Xiaohui struggled to get up from the hospital bed, "I'm fine, let's go back."

Mom touched her face distressedly, it was cold, but luckily she didn't have a fever.

"Are you all right? Otherwise, let's lie down for a while, and mother will accompany you."

The cause of the child's illness has never been found out. The hospital in the town asked them to go to the big hospital in the city. Xiaohui was unwilling, saying that it would not be too late to go for a checkup after the college entrance examination passed the university in the city.

Knowing that this child is sensible, he is reluctant to spend money at home.

"It's okay, let's go back." Mom still had to cook and take it to grandma, and Xiaohui knew that she had fainted, and probably scared her enough.

It was really unlucky today, because there was something wrong at school, she didn't go home with Jiang Yuan and Mai Mai, otherwise even if she lost her footing, there would be Jiang Yuan to back her up.

By the time we got home, the sun had already set, and the street lamps were turned on, casting a cold light on the ground covered with hoarfrost.

Lao Lin sent them to the gate of the compound, turned around and went back to the tobacco factory workshop.

Xiaohui put one hand into the pocket of her mother's down jacket, and her mother's warm hand tightly held hers.

His hands were still cold.

Xiao Hui lowered her head, her heart throbbing with pain, this happened several times recently, she didn't want to tell her mother.

A lot of money has been spent on repeated inspections where the cause of the disease cannot be found out.

The couple entered the family courtyard and went up to the third floor of Tongzilou. Xiaohui found that the induction light was broken again. She yelled "Ahhh" several times, but the light bulb did not turn on.

Mom fumbled for the key in her pocket and tried to poke it into the lock, but failed to get it right once or twice.

The door of the next door opened with a snap, and the light from inside illuminated the passageway. With this light, my mother opened the door smoothly.

A slender and tall black figure suddenly appeared.

The man paused slightly, then hurriedly lowered his head, put his hands in his pockets, hooked the door with his feet, and walked quickly to the other end of the corridor.

Disappeared in the darkness in an instant.

With just one glance, gold stars flashed in front of Xiaohui's eyes. This man had a high nose bridge, deep facial features, and those eyes were the deadliest, shining like beasts hunting in the dark!His whole body exudes a cold aura that has lived in the mountains for a long time without seeing the sun, and will kill all directions as soon as he comes out of the mountains.

Damn, this handsome guy actually lives next door?

Tomorrow, no, call Mai right away when I get home.

Xiaohui finally laughed, and the pain in her chest didn't feel so bad anymore.

Early the next morning, Chen Mai and Jiang Yuan showed up at Xiao Hui's downstairs on time.

"Huizi." Chen Mai, who was wearing a red down jacket, happily opened her arms to Xiaohui, and opened her mouth exaggeratedly, "It won't hurt if you fall."

In other words, where is the handsome guy?

Xiaohui put her chin on Maimai's shoulder and blew into her ear, "If I fell to my death yesterday, you wouldn't know where the handsome guy lives."

"Bah, bah, bah." Chen Mai was very aggrieved, "Yesterday we said we would wait for you, but you yourself will let us go first."

If it weren't for the finale of the series last night, she wouldn't be so dishonest.

In the end, the hero and heroine broke out, and she cried until she couldn't make a sound. Fortunately, Xiaohui's phone call soothed her wounded heart in time.

"Jiang Yuan, you are too, why don't you wait for Xiao Hui."

Chen Mai's eyes flew wildly, and Jiang Yuan's black-rimmed glasses were full of grievances, "My mother asked me to buy vegetables, but Xiaohui didn't say when she could leave."

"Okay, I'm fine." Xiao Hui tugged at Chen Mai's schoolbag vigorously.Jiang Yuan was transferred to the class in the third year of junior high school. He was dull by nature. At that time, only Xiao Hui was willing to play with him in the class. Go to and from school together.

Chen Mai knew about Xiao Hui's physical condition, but Jiang Yuan didn't know that much.

Who would have thought that a large living person would pass out while walking.

"Where did you fall?" Jiang Yuan asked casually.

Xiao Hui frowned suspiciously, "I don't remember, I wonder if I bumped my head when I fell into a ditch."

"You lost your memory???" Chen Mai could stuff a goose egg into his mouth.

Damn, you can meet handsome guys after you lose your memory, why don't you bump into a telephone pole yourself?

Xiao Hui mouthed "Fuck off", and the three of them changed the subject laughing and laughing.

When he arrived at school, Chen Mai suddenly thought of a problem.

They go to school and leave school on the same road, and there are no ditches on both sides of the road.

The class bell rang, and her question instantly flew out of the sky.

Today's in-class test, damn it, another surprise attack.

When Xiao Hui returned home, the sensor light at the door had been repaired, and she took out the keys from her schoolbag.

The hand shook involuntarily.

It was as if someone was watching her.

Trembling, she turned her head and glanced at the corridor.There was no one in the dim light.

The tungsten wire of the induction lamp started to flicker again, Xiao Hui quickly opened the door and got in.

The second day, the third day, and so on.

Xiaohui always feels that someone is following her.

After thinking about it, she still told Jiang Yuan that Chen Mai's mouth was too big, and if she told her, the entire staff compound would be boiling.

Xiaohui could probably feel that Jiang Yuan was interested in her, but what exactly did she mean? Xiaohui decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Ah?" Jiang Yuan's square face with Chinese characters showed a thick black eyebrow. "In the recent news, it seems that many female students have disappeared. Do you want to call the police?"

"Nervous." Xiaohui raised her head and laughed, those were all cases in the city. Could it be that the criminals wanted to take a unique route of encircling the countryside in the city?

Besides, this village girl of mine has no face, no figure, and no money at home.Has the kidnapper lost his mind?

"No, don't say that about yourself." Jiang Yuan was a little anxious, and Xiao Hui could see that he really liked her a little bit.If Chen Mai heard her words, he would just lightly lift his chin with his fingers and say something seductively.

"Incisive."

"Then I will walk with you every day." The honest man Jiang Yuan was a little angry.

Tch, with you every day, how did I meet a handsome guy?

Xiao Hui felt a little regretful, as if the handsome guy had never shown his face since the first glimpse that day.

Could it be that he is really ugly to the point of wrath?

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Just as Jiang Yuan sent Xiao Hui downstairs, the handsome guy hurriedly appeared at the corridor entrance.

He is really tall, the roof of Tongzilou is less than an inch from his head.

He has short black hair and is capable, with a strong figure, lean and not weak.

"You go back quickly." Xiao Hui pushed Jiang Yuan, before he noticed the potential rival.

Never hurt the innocent boy's heart.

Turning around, the handsome guy stood in front of Xiaohui.

My dear uncle and master.

Xiaohui touched the corner of her mouth unconsciously, she was worried that her saliva would become incontinent and flood into a river.

The facial features are sharp, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and the pupils wearing brown contact lenses are so ethereal that they are like walking weapons.

Ah, I'm dead.Xiaohui's heartbeat suddenly quickened, the handsome guy won't remember her, so he wants to say hello.

The handsome guy's gaze didn't stop on his face for more than 0.01 second.

Hey, what an idiot is talking about.

Xiaohui's face suddenly collapsed.

When she got home that day, she pretended not to care and asked her mother if there was a new neighbor next door.My mother looked blank, and said that someone had moved in. Old Li, who used to live there, went to the city to join his daughter. The house had been vacant for a long time, and he didn't know whether it was sold or rented out.

"I don't know if it's a college student studying painting who always leaves early and returns late with a big bag on his back."

Her mother is such a gossip housewife, she didn't find out anything, the one next door is hiding deep enough.

The moment Xiao Hui passed by the handsome guy with the murder weapon, a word reached her ears.

"You be careful."

The voice was as cold as an ice pick, piercing her heart mercilessly, breaking into ice slags, blocking every blood vessel from the heart.

She was quite sure that she had heard this voice before she fell into a coma.

Lin Xiaohui, a girl who will turn 16 in two days, experienced for the first time the feeling of hairs all over her body standing on end.
