The Way of the Demon Cult Leader Chasing His Wife

Xia Zhitao was indeed in a hurry when he went abroad this time.

The investigation has been stalemate for a long time without any new progress. When she was feeling helpless, she suddenly received a notice from the police station.

Miss Tang, who had met once before, called her and secretly told Xia Zhitao that when she was bored looking through documents, she accidentally found Luo Sumu's forensic doctor's resignation letter at that time, which roughly mentioned that she had The foreign city where you intend to settle.

Now that he had a general direction, Xia Zhitao collected his things directly, and left with his passport and visa.Even Xia Zhisong didn't know that his elder sister was going abroad until the day before he left, so he drove her to the airport with a bewildered expression.

The city Miss Tang mentioned is a quiet Nordic town. The place is not big, but the life is very comfortable, and it feels a bit far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Xia Zhitao pulled the suitcase, dragged his exhausted body from the long-distance travel, from the airport to the train to the taxi, and after several different means of transportation, he finally came to this small town.

It seems that because it is about to rain, the sky is a little dark, just like the light gray block in Monet's painting, submerging the halo gently into his arms, but it can't hide the little lights that are lit up outside the shop one by one.

Xia Zhitao checked-in at the front desk, took the key card and walked all the way from the small wooden stairs to the room.She squatted down and opened the suitcase, and all the clothes and daily necessities were neatly placed inside.

And in a sealed glass jar on the side of the suitcase, a slender hibiscus flower branch lay quietly inside.

The flower was as white as snow at first glance, but the edges of the petals were layered with a touch of crimson, gathering the broken light that fell into the glass jar into the bosom, reflecting a clear and warm feeling.

.

Xia Zhitao took out the glass jar, gently opened the glass cover, and put the vase on the desk for some air.

Because of the rush, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body, and his skin felt a bit uncomfortable when his underwear stuck to his skin.Xia Zhitao took out a change of clothes to take a shower, and washed Rumo's long hair along the way.

At the same time, the leader looked at the phone with a serious face, and asked, "Lu Qian, which emoticon pack do you think Taotao will like?"

The eldest brother and the younger brother are on their own, carefully looking through the various emoji packages provided by WeChat one by one, trying to find an emoji package that is suitable for the current situation.

Lu Qian didn't want to talk: "...Boss, please don't throw this century-old problem to me, okay?"

Zhang Kuang said: "Why don't you search for me, what kind of emoticons modern girls like."

Lu Qian frowned: "Actually, I really think, Boss, you can just find one..."

Zhang Kuang shook his head seriously, and said, "No, this matter can't be neglected."

Lu Qian just wanted to let out a long sigh, and said to the boss earnestly: According to your multiple standards of "cuteness, elegance, restraint, and politeness" - you will probably never find a suitable emoticon pack.

However, Lu Qian was timid and didn't dare to say anything, so he could only silently go along with the boss, frowning again when he saw Zhang Kuang, and dropped a series of emoticons.

Xia Zhisong came out of the room rubbing his head, and saw that the two "uninvited guests" hadn't left yet, squatting in the living room, pointing at the mobile phone, and muttering something.

"Aren't you going to send a message to my old lady?" Xia Zhisong said helplessly, "She should have already got off the plane by this time, and she hasn't replied to you yet?"

Zhang Kuang was still looking down for the picture, Lu Qian turned his head, expressionless: "It's not that I didn't reply, it's that I didn't post it at all."

Xia Zhisong: "..."

"What are you bothering about?" Xia Zhisong was a little confused, he strode to the coffee table, and took the phone over.

Hey, what phone are you grabbing—isn’t it good to be alive? !

Lu Qian looked at the boss in fear, trembling with fright at her instantly cold eyes, and begged Xia Zhisong not to die.

Xia Zhisong found the phone, entered a series of numbers familiarly, and then handed back the dialing phone to Zhang Kuang: "Okay, I'll call my sister for you."

Zhang Kuang: "???"

There were dark clouds on her face, just as she was about to question her sharply, the phone vibrated twice, but she was already connected.A familiar voice came, seeming a bit tired from traveling: "Hello?"

Silence answered her.

The voice paused for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Who are you?"

Lu Qian pushed Zhang Kuang, and said in a low voice: "Boss, you are talking!"

Zhang Kuang also whispered: "Don't interrupt my train of thought, I'm brewing a topic!"

However, the radio on the phone was so good that Xia Zhitao listened to it verbatim:

"...Crazy?"

"It's you calling, right?" She held the phone, her eyes slightly bent, she chuckled a few times unconsciously, and even her voice softened a bit:

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry to go abroad this time, I should have told you in advance."

Zhang Kuang said: "No, no, no need to apologize."

Lu Qian: "Boss, you are stuttering."

Zhang Kuang: "Shut up."

The leader held the mobile phone, but the words he wanted to say got stuck in his chest in an instant.The phone was pressed to the side of the ear, and Xia Zhitao's voice was mixed with a trace of electric sound, but it was extremely gentle: "I heard that you finished filming the movie, what do you think?"

Zhang Kuang Nuonuo said: "Well, it's okay."

Xia Zhitao heard the other party begin to whisper something about filming, sat on the bed with his mobile phone, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

It was obviously just some trivial daily life, but the words from that mouth were vivid and interesting, like little stars dancing in the sky.

The two chatted for a long time.It was obvious that he had just got off the plane, but Xia Zhitao felt like he wanted to go back right away.

The phone was already a little hot from the call, Xia Zhitao squeezed the body slightly, and said softly to the brightly lit screen: "I won't be going for a long time——"

"Would you like to see you as soon as you get back?"

Not far away, the hibiscus flower in the vase seemed to be very happy, trembling slightly in the breeze.

.

Although he wanted to go back as soon as possible, his primary goal was to find the forensic doctor named Luo Sumu first.

For several days in a row, Xia Zhitao walked around and searched in this small town. Thanks to her good English, ordinary daily communication was not a problem.It's just that I searched for several days and asked many local residents, but the answers I got were all shaking their heads in a daze, or they had no impression of the "settled black-haired man" at all.

A lot more trouble than imagined.

While walking on the stone steps, Xia Zhitao felt that he was too hasty and should collect more information in the country before coming back.Otherwise, this small town is so big, with hundreds of residents, when will I find them one by one?

She walked through many single-family villas along the way, and there were many exquisite and small apartments among them.Every building has a certain age, and every inch and every inch can feel the precipitation of time.

Not far away was a small house that particularly caught her attention. Compared with the neat gardens of other houses, this house was overgrown with weeds.The dense and lush creepers spread all the way from the corner of the wall, covering the old window sills.

Xia Zhitao looked curiously into the creeper room, and came across a woman inside who happened to be seen through the layers of branches and leaves.When the two eyes met, Xia Zhitao couldn't help being stunned:

The woman had black hair and her eyes were as black as ink, and she looked very out of place in this small town where blonde hair and blue eyes were common.

Xia Zhitao took a step tentatively. She clenched her fists a little excitedly, and said cautiously, "Hello, is this Miss Luo Sumu?"

The person didn't seem to realize that she could hear a familiar language in a foreign country, so she couldn't help but was taken aback, but she immediately came to her senses and asked in a little surprise:

"It's me, what can you do for me?"

.

What Xia Zhitao didn't expect was that Luo Sumu made it clear that he could help after hearing her explain her intentions.Not only did she find the autopsy report from a large box of documents, she was even willing to go back to Nancheng with Xia Zhitao.

The two quickly discussed it, and Xia Zhitao hurriedly booked the air ticket for tomorrow. The two set off early in the morning, and it should be just in the evening when they arrived in Nancheng.

The journey along the way was very smooth, and the plane arrived in Nancheng at the expected time.It's just that when they arrived, it happened to be raining heavily in Nancheng.

Ink clouds surged above the dome of the airport, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see.

The heavy rain poured down from the sky, and the wind whizzed past, stopping all the means of transportation.

Together with many people, Xia Zhitao and Luo Sumu were trapped in the waiting hall of the airport.The plane they were on happened to be the last one, and all takeoffs and landings were stopped because of the sudden bad weather.

"What should we do now?"

All the seats were full, so Xia Zhitao and Luo Sumu had no choice but to sit next to their suitcases on the floor, waiting for the storm to pass.

Seeing the other party's worried look, Luo Sumu patted her on the shoulder with a calm voice: "It's okay, we'll just wait for the rain to stop."

As soon as the voice fell, a white lightning tore apart the night, and then came the terrible thunder, and a loud bang shocked everyone.

After the thunderstorm, the overhead lighting equipment made continuous "sizzling" sounds, the lights flickered twice, and then went out with a snap.

The entire hall suddenly fell into darkness.

The power outage at the airport caused people to panic, and for a while the terminal hall was filled with complaints, curses, and screams of panic.

Xia Zhitao blinked vigorously, not yet fully adapted to the darkness.She tried to stretch out her five fingers, but her eyes seemed to be covered by darkness and she couldn't see anything.

The deepest fear comes from the unknown. After being wrapped in layers of darkness, my heartbeat gradually accelerated, and my breathing became rapid.

Luo Sumu turned on the phone, the bright light on the screen dispelled the darkness, and Xia Zhitao felt better.

She fumbled to take out her mobile phone and dialed the number subconsciously.

The phone only rang once before it was connected, and the voice from the other end fell into her ears, making her a little dazed:

"Peach?"

Xia Zhitao held the phone tightly and said in a low voice, "I've already arrived at the airport, but it's raining heavily now, so I might have to wait a while before I can come back."

Zhang Kuang said: "There is no rush, I will wait for you."

Xia Zhitao suddenly had a sore nose, and a layer of mist clouded her eyes. She hung up the phone with a muffled "Hmm", for fear that she might not be able to hold back the tears.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhitao sank his hands into his hair irritably.Looking at the overwhelming rain and darkness, she suddenly realized something.

The chill suddenly rushed up from the blood, like vines, tightly wrapped around her neck.

His hand was held, Xia Zhitao turned his head away, and heard Luo Sumu's voice: "Don't be afraid, it's just a heavy rain."

Xia Zhitao withdrew his hand, looked at Luo Sumu and shook his head: "The southern city is close to the sea, and storms are common. It is impossible for the airport to lose power because of this."

Luo Sumu was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Her voice was a little unsteady, and she was full of despair: "The light just kept flickering, which is obviously a sign of a short circuit—"

"The blackout was absolutely man-made."

Luo Sumu reacted instantly, his hands trembling: "The Sun family?"

Xia Zhitao: "I also hope that I'm just scaring myself, but it's very possible."

Luo Sumu whispered, "What shall we do now?"

Xia Zhitao lowered his head, fingers clenched together: "I...I don't know."

The two fell silent for a while, but at the same time, an exclamation broke out from the crowd:

"Look outside!!"
