time stop

When Lu Yuan returned home, Yu Sheng had finished cooking and was setting the dishes.

Seeing Lu Yuan changing shoes at the door, Yu Sheng greeted him: "Come here, wash your hands and eat, I made pork rib soup today!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."

Yu Sheng turned his back to him and didn't see it, and Lu Yuan himself didn't realize how much bitterness was contained in his smile.

The two finished their meal in silence. Compared with the usual atmosphere, today seemed much heavier, and both of them were full of thoughts.

The default rule of the two of them is that one cooks and the other washes the dishes. All Lu Yuan has to do is put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher. After he finished everything, he came out of the kitchen and found Yu Sheng sitting in the yard on the swing.

This wooden swing was built after Yu Sheng moved here. It can seat two to three people. Yu Sheng really likes it. Lu Yuan can often see Yu Sheng sitting on the swing basking in the sun, falling asleep while basking in the sun. .I don't know if it's because he came out of such a depressing and bloody place as "Silent", Yu Sheng especially likes to stay in the sun.

But now there is no sun, but the rain has just stopped, and the weather looks very gloomy.In addition, it was evening now, and several lights in the yard began to light up.

Lu Yuan remembered that the rain had just stopped, and the swing was still wet. He walked up and asked Yu Sheng, "Why are you sitting here? The swing is all wet."

Yu Sheng said, "I covered it up before it rained, so it wasn't wet at all." He patted the seat next to him, raised his head and said to Lu Yuan, "Sit with me for a while."

As soon as Lu Yuan sat down, Yu Sheng leaned forward as if he had no bones, put his head on Lu Yuan's shoulder, and said, "I received a call today."

Lu Yuan didn't speak, he felt that Yu Sheng now just needs to listen.

Yu Sheng continued on his own, "It's from over there."

No need to ask, Lu Yuan naturally knew what the "over there" was, and that place imprisoned Yu Sheng, and also imprisoned himself.

"He said that someone took over your mission, the No.2 Scarlet Witch on the list. I heard that she has never missed a record. None of us know who she is, what she looks like, and how old she is."

Lu Yuan put his arms around Yu Sheng's waist and said, "I know."

Yu Sheng was not surprised at all: "It seems that you have also received the news. Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Lu Yuan replied, "Yes."

Yu Sheng leaned on his shoulder for a while, and then said to himself: "It would be great if you could withdraw your list from there. I can make a hundred lists for nothing over there."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan hesitated to speak, he wanted to tell Yu Sheng everything.

"Unfortunately, the rule over there is 'one who dies alone withdraws'." Yu Sheng said a little sullenly.

Lu Yuan's arms around Yu Sheng tightened again.

Yu Sheng buried his head on Lu Yuan's neck, and said in a low voice, "Lu Yuan, don't die, okay?"

"Okay!" Lu Yuan pulled out a hand and gently ran it along Yu Sheng's back.

Lu Yuan said this word with extreme force.

The sudden bad news didn't disrupt the rhythm of life of the two of them much. As usual, the two went to bed on time at 10:30, but tonight, Lu Yuan hugged Yu Sheng very tightly, and Yu Sheng was also very clingy. Some.

At two o'clock in the morning, the sky was as dark as ink, not even a single star.

The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, not even a glimmer of light from the street lamp could come through.Lu Yuan was already sound asleep, and the sound of his breathing was much slower than during the day.

Yu Sheng opened his eyes. In the dark, Yu Sheng and Lu Yuan were separated as much as possible, and the night vision ability trained over the years was only a little clearer than ordinary people at night.At this moment, Yu Sheng could only see a rough outline of Lu Yuan, but just like that, Yu Sheng couldn't even take his eyes off Lu Yuan.

However, Yu Sheng got up from the bed lightly, and opened the door cautiously. Before going out, Yu Sheng looked back to make sure that Lu Yuan was still sleeping peacefully on the bed.

The moment Yu Sheng closed the door, Lu Yuan, who was still sleeping on the bed, opened his eyes, and the sharp light in his eyes could not be blocked even by the night.

However, he just lay quietly, without any other movements.

After Yu Sheng left the bedroom, he walked lightly into the bathroom on the first floor, and hid a set of clothes in the laundry basket.Black hoodie, black trousers, black sneakers, and black baseball cap.He finished dressing in front of the mirror and lowered the brim of his hat to make sure no one would recognize him.

Then, Yu Sheng went out.

Lu Yuan listened in the room for a while, but he didn't hear the sound of the engine, but he knew that Yu Sheng had already gone out.

Yu Sheng went out on foot, avoiding the cameras all the way.

Going out at such a time and leaving Lu Yuan, an ordinary person with no strength to restrain a chicken, alone at home is not very reasonable.

But Yu Sheng had studied the successful cases of all the people on the killer list before, and he believed that the Scarlet Witch used to act within three to five days after receiving the order. For several months, or even more than a year, that's why she only accepted A-level missions, because a speed-loving killer like her was not enough for S-level targets.

But Yu Sheng has to admit that the Scarlet Witch is really powerful, she can enter the top ten of the killer list just by relying on A-level missions.

Yu Sheng left the community, found a black car, and went to the house he rented before.

After Yu Sheng moved to Lu Yuan's house, his original house was not returned, but he continued to pay the rent and stayed.

Opening the door, no one has come to this house for several months, and there is always a faint smell of dust in the air.

Yu Sheng went straight to the bedroom, sneaked under the bed, and tore off a locker key that was taped on the bed board.

Yu Sheng looked at the key in his hand, sighed, and thought to himself: There is really no way out now, and he even has to take out the money he was going to use to run away.

Although Yu Sheng understands life and death as life and death, wealth is in the sky, and he enjoys life as soon as he gets the money, but he still prepared a little escape money just in case, after all, no one wants to die until the end.

Yu Sheng climbed over the wall and entered the abandoned station near the community. In the night, the abandoned station looked extraordinarily dark and empty.

Yu Sheng's footsteps were silent, and he walked in quickly and skillfully while paying attention to the surrounding situation.His career as a killer for more than 20 years made him unconsciously lighten his steps. Only the dust stirred up by his actions revealed that Yu Sheng had been here before.

Yu Sheng took the key and opened one of the lockers, and took out a big black backpack from inside. He opened it and checked it, revealing a corner of a green dollar bill.He took a black mobile phone from the cabinet and pinned it behind his waist. The coldness of the gun pierced through the fabric, almost frostbite Yu Sheng's skin and flesh.

Then, he took another black car at the corner of the street and drove to the most chaotic red light district in the city.

Yu Sheng got out of the car.

The colorful lights in the red light district shone on the faces of passers-by, plump women with revealing clothes and heavy make-up stood in twos and threes at the street corners to attract customers, and some people who skated too much frantically passed Yu Sheng and almost hit Yu Sheng.A man dressed in a ruffian and acting arrogantly came out of a dark alley, his hands and clothes were still stained with warm blood, he spit on the ground with a "bah", and he didn't know who the unlucky guy was. will step on it.Lighting a low-quality cigarette, the choking smoke continued to rise, covering the excitement and pride in his eyes.

Yu Sheng moved forward silently and quickly in the crowd. The people here were chaotic and sensitive. They could smell the bloody smell from Yu Sheng's body, and no one dared to provoke him.Yu Sheng went to his destination so quickly.

Yu Sheng walked into a dilapidated building, passed through countless tattoo parlors and shampoo parlors, and finally arrived at a divination parlor.

There are no mysterious patterns and ornaments in this store, but it looks very dim. An uncle with a scruffy beard is sitting behind the counter, drowsy.

Yu Sheng dragged a chair in front of the uncle, the legs of the chair rubbed against the floor, making an ear-piercing sound, the uncle frowned and regained consciousness.

When the uncle was fully awake, Yu Sheng was already sitting in front of him.

Seeing that Yu Shengban was sitting upright, the uncle rubbed his eyes, turned out a pair of incomplete tarot cards from the counter, and asked him, "Divination?"

Yu Sheng looked straight at the uncle, and said in a cold voice, "Okay."

The uncle spread out the cards one by one, then leaned lazily on his chair, lit a cigarette for himself, and said, "Smoking."

Yu Sheng randomly picked out one, opened it and saw that it was a death card.

The uncle was smoking his own cigarette, stacking all the cards together, like fighting the landlord, shuffling the tarot cards in his hand, which looked very unprofessional at first glance.

While washing, he said to Yu Sheng: "It costs 20 yuan a time, do you still smoke?"

Yu Sheng watched him shuffle the cards, but he didn't stand up and overturned his table, and then pointed at his nose and cursed a liar.Instead, he nodded and said, "Puff."

The rest of his life smoked three times in a row, and he was the god of death.

The uncle clicked his tongue in amazement, shook his cigarette ash, and said, "Little brother, you are going to make a big mistake recently!"

Yu Sheng didn't speak, grabbed his backpack, opened a hole, and threw it into the uncle's arms, saying: "Buy a message, is it enough?"

The uncle looked down at Yu Sheng's backpack, which was full of green dollar bills. The uncle's eyes were straightened. He put out the cigarette in the ashtray full of cigarette butts, and then took a stack of dollar bills and shook it in the palm of his hand. Bumped, turned it over quickly in his hand, and finally sniffed it under his nose.

Yu Sheng sat and looked at him without speaking.

The uncle looked at the stack of dollar bills, put them back in his backpack, and said to Yu Sheng: "Little brother, you are looking for the wrong person. I have long since stopped being a 'Bai Xiaosheng'."

He looked at Yu Sheng, lit another cigarette, threw the lighter on the table casually, and said, "I want this money, but I can't afford it."
