dramatic death

Two years ago, May 5th was an ordinary summer.

The hot summer heat makes people sweat profusely, and the noisy cicadas make people's scalp numb.They spread in every corner of Central City, forming the city's summer with lingering electronic sounds.

——Although in order to allow human beings after the new era to experience the charm of nature, these noisy electronic cicadas have been ranked tenth in "The Most Useless Inspiration" due to a large number of complaints.

However, the inspirations of the creators still do not stop tormenting the working people. They persevere in bringing forth the new, running through all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, in an attempt to simulate the ecological environment decades ago with electric devices.The geniuses of the past few years focused on research on time jumping. The geniuses of these years advocate the mechanization of human beings. Maybe in the future they plan to expand territories across dimensions and extend their claws to foreign creatures.

Yin Tong raised his eyes and glanced at the "Elite Project" of the Academy of Sciences floating in the air, and rolled his eyes blankly.

—The state should award them labor medals.

At 14:30 this afternoon, Yintong went out to take out the garbage after getting the approval of the family nurse.He took the elevator to the first floor, walked out of the apartment door through the empty hall, threw the garbage bags with classification numbers into the recycling place, and then returned the same way. It took only ten minutes to go back and forth.

He didn't meet any strange guys, and he didn't stop for a while because of the old man who played chess.But when he staggered through the corridor and walked home to the door, wiped off his sweat and was about to open the door, he found that the door that should have been closed was ajar.

He pushed it with his hand and heard the noise of the hinges turning.

"squeak"

—Someone disrupted the electrical system at home.

The fingerprint lock on the door completely lost its ability to work, the indoor air conditioner was forced to shut down, and the summer heat wave swept through the French windows in the living room, opened the soft curtains, and poured into Yintong's sweaty skirt.

"I pushed open the door and stood in the hallway, just in time to see the sofa and coffee table in the living room."

"The sofa was chosen by Christie. She said that warm-toned furniture would make people feel happy. I chose the coffee table because the transparent glass looks very clean."

Yin Tong sat in the bathtub, pillowed his knees and chuckled: "I walked through the hallway and into the living room, and the freshly washed apples on the coffee table rolled down and fell on the floor."

"Make a 'boom' sound."

He watched the apple roll and slam into a pale face.

That is a woman.

The dead woman.

The only thing left of the woman lying on the ground was this clean face. Her abdomen was stabbed to pieces, and the dark red blood overflowed the light-colored sofa and seeped into the gap between the tiles. Tong took two steps back, then fell to the ground in embarrassment.

His legs were shaking, and his fingers were soaked in a sticky pool of blood.

"I looked up and saw my hands were covered in blood, my home nurse was dead between the couch and coffee table, her stomach was stabbed in a mess, crimson lumps of flesh piled on the pale floor."

"Her eyes are still open, as if as long as I lower my head, I can meet her eyes."

"Police say she was the victim of a home invasion."

Yin Tong raised his head and read softly word by word: "I don't believe it."

Opposite the light screen, An Qi didn't look up.

He didn't speak, his pale thin lips were pursed tightly, and his clenched fingers were trembling slightly.The indoor warm light left a gentle silhouette on his light yellow hair, and the camera of the mobile terminal stayed four or five steps away from him, enough for Yintong to see his tense shoulders clearly.

—He is tense.

Yintong thought.

— because he knew about it and how my family caregivers died.

"My home nurse is a good girl, even though I have only been with her for a week," Yin Tong lowered the temperature in the bathtub and turned up a little more, "she is gentle, kind, and speaks softly and slowly, even Will read me bedtime stories."

He suddenly couldn't help laughing, curled up in the corner of the bathtub with his knees hugged, trembling with laughter.He said: "An Qi, do you know that at 14:50 that day, 10 minutes after my family nurse died on the ground, Christie, who was far away in another city, stood in front of me."

"She came faster than the police."

The petite girl rushed into the room against the scorching summer heat, pulled Yin Tong away from the corpse, and covered his straight eyes with her hands.

——"You didn't see anything," Yintong heard Christie say, "You didn't see anything, there is nothing here, I picked you up from the bed early this morning, I finally let you go I took a vacation and pestered you to watch the new criminal investigation movie with me."

——"In that movie, there was a little girl in her 20s who was killed on the floor by a bastard who robbed her house. What you saw was just a scene from a TV show, and it wasn't true."

——"This story is adapted from real events, and you will feel familiar, maybe because you have read related reports about it."

— "But it's been a long time, it's just an accident."

- "Now I count three two one, open your eyes."

--"three,"

--"two,"

--"one."

The hand attached to Yintong's eyes slowly moved away, and the bright red sunset poured into his vision, outlining a familiar scene.

The scorching summer wind poured into the wide-open floor-to-ceiling windows, and the fluttering curtains were blown rattlingly.Yintong stood in the middle of the empty living room, lowered his head, and the soft sunset was reflected in Christie's bright eyes.

"Tongtong," Yintong heard her say her name, and pressed her soft little hands on his cheeks, "what's wrong with you?"

There was a subtle glimmer of water in her eyes, as clear as a pond under the moonlight.

Yintong moved his lips slowly.His fear was completely taken away, leaving only a blank emptiness in his mind, consciousness and action seemed to be split into two parts, one was still resting on the corpse behind Christie, and the other was raising his tongue, reciting Christie's words with difficulty name.

He saw himself raising his hand and running his fingers through Christie's slender hair. He felt that he hadn't touched anything, but he clearly saw the sticky blood falling from his fingertips.

Dripping on Christie's thin shoulders.

——"Tongtong?"

The "girl" in front of him was calling him.

--"What’s wrong with you?"

She stretched out her bloody hand and stroked Yin Tong's cheek.

A sharp pain exploded on Yintong's temple. He stood in the living room under the dusk and looked at the petite girl in front of him, who suddenly turned into a blood-stained humanoid body.

……

"I don't know what exactly I saw."

Yin Tong folded his fingers and smiled with difficulty.

"I was so scared that I retreated one after another, turned around and fled."

"Christie wants to hypnotize me. I don't know how many times she has done this successfully, but she failed this time." Yin Tong pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled stiffly, "My home care is lying in my sight In the scene, the blood-stained body was also standing in my field of vision. For a long time afterwards, I couldn’t even tell what was an illusion, and all the people seemed to me to be faceless puppets.”

"Including myself in the mirror."

"I don't know where Chen Yan went, the only one with me is Christie."

"A humanoid body with no facial features and covered in blood."

"I can't count how many drugs I took, and how many times she tried to hypnotize me."

"Christie is right, I really don't trust her," Yin Tong stretched out his hand, stroking An Qi's lips with his fingertips through the light screen, "Don't you want me to believe you, I don't have to worry about you coming to find her in the first place." What is my reason, I don't care how many people are watching the light screen with you now."

"Just tell me how my home care died."

"As long as you don't lie to me."

……

At the same time, the lakeside community.

When Wen Qiu walked into the living room wiping his hair, Dong Tiantian was watching surveillance video on the sofa with Nie Shuang in his arms. The fluffy little head is like raising two small animals.

"What did you see?" Wen Qiu looked interesting, so he asked casually.Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were spoken, they received unanimous welcome from the two big babies. Dong Tiantian and Nie Shuangshuang turned their heads together, with serious and serious expressions, as if they were lining up to raise the flag as a salute.

Wen Qiu couldn't help laughing.

He used the hair dryer to blow his hair randomly twice, and went around the sofa and got into the two people's blankets.The three of them were wrapped in an adult blanket, and Nie Shuang curled her lips and was about to withdraw from the battle, but Wen Qiu snatched her back.

"Hey, don't move, it will leak air."

Comrade Nie Xiao, who was 13 years old at the time, rolled his eyes, thinking that he might be the only normal person in this family.

Dong Tiantian didn't open his mouth, and Nie Shuangshuang had no reason to refuse. It was a rare and childish time for Wen's parents to take a comfortable position in the small blanket, and leaned on Dong Tiantian's head to watch the surveillance video in the afternoon.While dragging the progress bar, he clicked on the memo to record the time. Nie Shuangshuang watched him swipe back and forth, eyes dazzled, and was about to yawn when he was greeted by Teacher Wen's random check.

"Tell me your opinion." Wen Qiu dragged the memorandum from the light screen and moved it in front of him, completely expropriating Dong Tiantian's personal property.

"I don't have any opinion," Nie Shuangshuang swallowed back the remaining half of his yawn, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I followed Dong Xiaotian all the way to the commercial street in the afternoon. The Academy of Sciences or Nightingale's secret whistle to steal some information, who knows that he could not walk as soon as he arrived at the door of the dessert house, his eyes were bright and dignified, just like the neighbor aunt who saw a bloody drama at eight o'clock."

"It's not that I don't have it," Dong Tiantian slapped Nie Shuangshuang on the back of the head, "Don't listen to this brat's nonsense, I just find it a little strange."

"Strange?"

Wen Qiu took a look at him from the memorandum, but before Dong Tiantian could speak, Nie Shuangshuang rushed to start the conversation: "It's strange, can it not be strange?! Teacher Wen, you don't know, there is a lot of food in the dessert room this afternoon. It's lively, A3206, Christie and An Qi are arguing in a mess around a table. If you look at it from a distance, it's a real wife catching rape, and if you look at it closely, it's a melee in the Shura field! Christie's eyes are red with anger, Ai Ma Dong Xiaotian, why did you hit me again!"

"It was you who hit me," Dong Tiantian took the opportunity to slap him a few more times, making Nie Shuang scream and want to bite his hand, "Wen Qiu, don't listen to his nonsense, although the meeting in the afternoon was a bit messy, there is no such boy It's as serious as it sounds."

Dong Tiantian shook his fist at the grinning little friend Nie, fully exercising his parental authority.Wen Qiu leaned on his head and watched the two of them messing around on the sofa, and when Dong Tiantian realized it, he realized that this person had been silent since just now.

Dong Tiantian turned his head, half puzzled and half curious, reached out and pinched Wen Qiu's nose.Elder Wen was already leaning next to him, and when he was pinched like this, his slender eyelashes were like two beautiful small fans, flashing for a moment, revealing a pair of blank eyes underneath.

"What are you thinking about?" Dong Tiantian asked.

Wen Qiu froze for a moment, then looked away, frowned and clicked on the folder on the light screen: "Suddenly remembered something," he opened the date interface, and quickly flipped back to the summer two years ago, "You still Do you remember that after the incident in Central Park, there was a murder in Yintong's family?"

"Do you still remember, May 5th two years ago?"
