The man got up, paid the bill, and left the coffee shop. As soon as he walked out of the shop, he was blown by the wind and immediately bent down to cough. Moreover, the cough became heavier and heavier, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
This situation attracted the attention of many passers-by. Some people even took out masks from their bags and put them on.
Five minutes later, the man slowly straightened his body. He silently turned around and walked down the pedestrian street.
He had been wearing a mask himself, but he did not like the feeling of wearing a mask. It was not that he felt uncomfortable or uncomfortable, but when he thought about the feeling of wearing a mask in this dirty environment and thinking that he could be fresh, it was a little ridiculous.
As he walked down, he walked faster and faster. When he reached the station, a No. 4 bus stopped and he got on.
He sat by the window and swayed with the bus, swaying, swaying..
After swaying for half an hour..,
He got up and left his seat and got off at Little Stone Bridge Station.
The afternoon sun was a little hot. In winter, sometimes this kind of weather was really torturous. Wearing a down jacket was too hot, and taking it off was too cold.
It made people who were used to a simple and fast-paced life feel a little irritated.
He crossed the road and walked into an apartment building. He took the elevator up to the 24th floor and stood at the door of room 2408. His fingers gently turned the door lock.
After a while,
The door opened,
This was a trap,
On the bed, a little girl was sitting there playing with a doll,
A middle-aged woman was picking vegetables,
When he opened the door and came in,
The two women stared at him with puzzled gazes.
He was stunned for a moment,
He reached out and gently knocked his forehead,
Even though he was wearing a mask, one could still see his uneasiness and uneasiness,
But he still said,
"Sorry, I went to the wrong door."
After saying sorry,
He did not choose to turn around and leave,
A pocket watch dangled from his wrist.
He began to shake and shake,
The two women immediately fell into a deep slumber.
He closed the door,
He walked into the kitchen,
He picked up the boiling water bottle and poured himself a cup of hot water,
Then he found a plastic stool and sat down,
He gently took off his mask, revealing a pale face. However, his lips were so red that they were purple.
He slowly blew on the boiling water and drank slowly,
He drank very down-to-earth,
Like an old man.
After he finished a bowl of boiling water,
He heaved a long sigh of relief.
It was as if he had completed the most important task of the day.
At this moment,
Ding Dong Ding Dong came from the window.
A kite stopped at the edge of the window.
He stood up and opened the window. The kite flew in and began to burn. Amidst the black smoke, a scarred face was revealed.
"Come to Huai 'an. I've already collected all the documents."
Hearing this, he shook his head slightly and said,
"I found something interesting in Tongcheng. I don't plan to leave for the time being."
"Cripple Xue's divination said that you've been targeted by the dogs of the underworld."
"Yes, those people are very fast."
"Yeah, this group of people is really fast."
"I mean, they die very quickly."
"They were sent here to die. Their death is the real target. You shouldn't be impulsive."
He took a deep breath and did not explain to the scarred face that he did not kill these lackeys. He just picked up the water bottle and poured himself a cup of water.
In fact, it did not matter whether he killed those people or not. In the eyes of the underworld, they were the ones who killed them.
"You're not coming back?" the scarred face asked.
"It's too boring there."
"Answer me seriously again. Are you coming back to meet us?"
He did not answer and continued to blow at the bowl of noodles.
The scarred face seemed to be very angry. He said angrily,
"Alright, then the few of us will rush to Tongcheng from Huai 'an immediately. We can't let you be the only one who is interesting. We also want to have fun together."
He nodded in agreement and sighed.
"If you don't come, I won't dare to continue playing."
Because he felt that if he were to play alone, he might kill himself if he got too carried away.
"However, the new batch of people from the underworld will definitely arrive here soon. At that time, this Tongcheng will be very crowded."
"Big cities are very crowded, but there will still be many people who are happy to squeeze in because small places are too boring."
"Hehe, anyway, we're a group of people. I've seen through it. After we came out this time, the people's hearts were scattered. The leader was nowhere to be found. The solemn vow that we made before the incident has now become bullshit."
"We always ridicule the underworld for being on the verge of collapse, but aren't we also dog meat that can't be put on the table?"
"The phone bill is very expensive."
He pointed at the paper kite in front of him that had just burned halfway. "Save your energy and come play. Don't play from so far away."
"Alright, we still have something to deal with. We'll be there tomorrow at noon."
"Bye."
The paper kite landed,
It lay on the floor.
He finished the second bowl of boiling water,
Looking at the stains on the floor, he frowned slightly. He picked up the broom and swept the place.
Then, he felt that the ground was a little too stained with oil,
He stood up straight,
His hands began to slowly form seals,
He felt that..,
This room needed to be purified.
However, when his gaze swept across the two women on and under the bed, he slowly ended the seals.
He took a rag,
He began to wipe the floor,
Then..,
Wipe the wall,
Then..,
Wipe the range hood..
After everything was done..,
He was already drenched in sweat. This body was still too weak.
This was the body of a sick ghost. It was not that he had no choice but to use it, but that he had deliberately chosen it.
He felt that there was no meaning in living too healthily. It was boring.
This body could give him the illusion that he was still dead.
He opened the door, walked out, and closed it.
When the two women woke up in the middle of the night, they would probably be shocked to find that the house seemed to have hired a cleaner.
He took the elevator, went downstairs, and walked back to the street.
The small stone bridge could only be considered a transportation hub in the city. There was a lot of traffic, but the popularity was really not very high.
He sat alone at the edge of the flower bed,
Not long after he sat down,
He began to cough heavily again,
He coughed so hard that his lungs were splitting,
But he coughed exceptionally well!
Happy,
Comfortable,
Comfortable!
After the coughing ended,
He raised his head,
Enjoying the aftertaste of this impudence,
He couldn't help but raise his hands,
It was a pity that the top of his head was pitch black. The weather tonight was not good. The clouds were thick, and there were no stars for him to hug.
But he already felt that this was pretty good.
The sky in Hell was the same. There were no stars. In the past, there was a blood moon hanging high in the sky, but since half a year ago, that moon had also become much smaller.
After a short while,
He put down his arms,
He lowered his head,
He looked at the withered leaves under his feet.
Winter meant desolation to this place.
However, no matter how desolated the world of the living was, it was still much more colorful than hell.
A black car stopped on the opposite side of the road,
The window was slowly rolled down.
Lawyer an held a cigarette in his hand and looked ahead.
The two of them were separated by a wide road. They did not look at each other. Their gazes did not meet, but they knew each other's existence.
The dense traffic kept shuttling on the road between the two of them,
The exhaust of the car lights,
Continued to wreak havoc in the tranquility of the night here.
Lawyer an opened his mouth, yawned, pushed open the car door, and walked out.
There were no traffic lights or sidewalks. Lawyer an looked around as he walked. It took him about three minutes to walk from one end of the road to the other end of the road.
He slowly raised his head,
He looked at Lawyer an, who was getting closer and closer to him.
He came to Tongcheng because he was here. He wanted to see him. He missed him, and at the same time, he wanted to reminisce about the past and see if he was doing well.
If he was not doing well, he would drink with him and chat to ease his mind
If he was doing well, he would just kill him.
The masked man smiled,
That's true,
The person in front of him..,
No matter where..,
He should be able to live a good life.
Lawyer an walked in front of the masked man, took out a cigarette, and said,
"Bro, lend me a light."
The masked man reached into his pocket and took out a lighter. After Lawyer an took it, the masked man said,
"Bro, let me have a good night."
"Hehe."
Lawyer an lit his cigarette and sat down beside the masked man. After exhaling a smoke ring, Lawyer an said,
"If I didn't ask Old Chen Pi, I wouldn't have known that you were here this time."
A few years ago, before Lawyer an met Zhou Ze, he had done a lot of smuggling business in Hell and had accumulated a lot of connections. It was easy to find out some information.
Unless..,
This group of people completely disappeared after they came up, completely cutting off all contact with the past. But that was impossible.
They were not evil spirits. They were defectors, and they even had the tone of an official. This made it necessary for them to show some unconventional feeling even if it was not necessary.
"I asked Old Chen Pi to say it. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find me."
The masked man explained.
"I say, so many years have passed, and you're still holding a grudge?"
Lawyer an continued in a bad mood,
"Can't you be more magnanimous?"
The masked man started to cough again,
But this time, he didn't cough for long,
He asked back,
"These words seem to be more appropriate for me to say."
Lawyer an pursed his lips and said,
"I'm doing very well."
"I can tell."
"I know you can tell."
"Then... heh."
"Yeah, I just wanted to say it on purpose to anger you."
"I can't afford it."
"Huh?"
"You'll die. You're too weak now."
"Tsk tsk."
Lawyer an raised his head and said in disappointment,
"It's been so many years, but you still haven't changed."
"What haven't changed?"
"You're still so stupid. You haven't become smart.
Back then, I made an appointment with you to settle it one-on-one, but I still brought Feng Si'er and the others to beat you to death,
If it wasn't for your good use of the puppet, your soul might have been destroyed at that time. "
"Heh, looks like you haven't changed either."
"No, it's different."
Lawyer an shook his head and said,
"This time, I really came alone."
Lawyer an helplessly threw his phone into the flower bed at the side,
There was the latest WeChat notification:
"There's a serious traffic jam. I think I'll be ten minutes late."
Lawyer an almost cried..
