A few days later.

Qingcheng Xie's illness was cured.

This day he and Xue Xie two people eating in the canteen of Shanghai University, Qingcheng Xie see the bowl of chicken soup porridge, suddenly remembered that they have not seen Yu He for many days. And there is no news of that person in his friends circle.

He frowned, remembering how unusual Yu He had been that day.

Qingcheng Xie is an extremely rational man, but he is not a completely heartless one, not to mention that he promised Jiwei He to keep an eye on Yu He for him.

So when Xue Xie brought his plate and sat down opposite him, he asked her how Yu He was doing.

When faced with his brother's question, Xue Xie's eyes suddenly widened: "Ah? You don't know? He took time off to go to Hang City to shoot a movie, didn't he tell you?"

Qingcheng Xie paused with his chopsticks in his hand: "Didn't he study choreography?"

"Hey, the time is very short, playing a small supporting role to save a scene, is in front of the school to buy breakfast when someone saw. He is also a bit interested, and frankly on his looks, after the stage or behind the scenes really can not say. He is also a very motivated person, the opportunity to gain experience, he will not miss."

"...... Why so sudden."

"It's not because the crew's original male number five had a temporary situation. The actor originally selected was really an acting class, but the kid crashed his bicycle with a taxi in front of the school before entering the group, and fell on his face with a big gash and received several stitches. The crew was in a hurry to find someone to fill in, so they found Yu He ......"

Hearing her say so, Qingcheng Xie vaguely remembered the phone call Yu He made at his home that day, as if he was talking about this matter.

Xue Xie rambled: "But one thing I find quite strange, this script I have seen, especially bad small web drama, in his aesthetics should not look at, but he suddenly agreed. Although the time is not long, his role as long as the ten days or so to go, but also do not know what he was thinking ...... and I take time off when the mood is not good, I talk to him, he are ignored."

Qingcheng Xie listened, his expression gradually became a little serious.

He recalled that day Yu He wrist bandages, hospital bags of medicine ......

" Yu He Has anything bad happened to him lately?"

"No!" After the autumn tour, Xue Xie's state was somehow much better, and she actually had a bit of the nourishing feeling of a peach blossom blooming. She bit into the ice cream scoop, and only after a while did she hesitate and hesitate, "I don't really know ...... I don't think so... ..."

Qingcheng Xie looked thoughtfully at Xue Xie, whose eyes were shining as if she was in a good mood.

He felt that she was particularly happy these two days, since the trip back, she often took the phone snapped back a bunch of messages, half a day without looking up. And I don't know who I'm talking to.

The circle of friends is also, she used to send are similar to "xx road new open a xx restaurant, there is no small partners together to pull grass?" The two days actually inexplicably literary up, either send some Qingcheng Xie frown can not read the youth literature excerpts, or is some strange photos, such as a lake two leaves, late last night also sent a reflection on the wall of the shadow, the light blurred, whose shadow is not clear, may be her own, with the text: "Hey, hey. Little white hair."

Qingcheng Xie even replied to her at that time, saying back to her, "Who is the little white hair?"

Xue Xie took a long time to answer, "A cute little dog."

Qingcheng Xie : "Do not send such meaningless things in the circle of friends. Hurry up and go to sleep."

Xue Xie replied to him with a tongue out smiley face, and after a while Qingcheng Xie found that she had changed her avatar to a swan looking in the other direction.

Thinking about these details, Qingcheng Xie asked, "What about you? Have you encountered anything good lately?"

Xue Xie's face flushed and she turned her head away, continuing to bite her spoon, keeping a secret that happened during the autumn trip carefully hidden in her heart: "No, not really."

Qingcheng Xie hands clasped arms, not a word, watching her body movements, shy expression details, gaze gradually become deep and sharp.

"That's right, brother." Xue Xie looked a bit vain under Qingcheng Xie's stare, she tried to misplace the topic, "I brought some special snacks for you and Yu He during the autumn tour, do you have something to do this weekend?"

"No, what's wrong."

"I ...... uh, just can't leave a meeting at school, and the snacks are easy to spoil, if you don't have class, go to Hang City for me to visit Yu He's class, and give him the stuff by the way."

Qingcheng Xie frowned, and although he felt as if Xue Xie was hiding something from him, he didn't pursue anything further.

"Okay." He agreed, he wasn't really at ease with Yu He's condition anyway, so he could drop by the set and check on the other person's mental state.

.

This evening.

Outside the ruins of Chengkang Mental Hospital.

The yellow and white cordon was pulled, the wind blew, the warning tape rustled, the back of the scorched land also raised the dust of debris. Recently, many people rushed here, some are to mourn flowers, some are purely curiosity, to see a lively.

In the midst of the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, there was an unobtrusive man wearing horn-rimmed glasses. The man huddled in the center of the crowd, staring at the scorched earth of Sungkang Hospital, his slightly bulging eyes showing a contradictory look of hesitation and panic.

"...... Yeah, they're all dead, there's not a single senior person alive."

"Could it be that Lanpei Jiang's spirits are claiming his life?"

"That woman was wearing a red dress when she died, I heard that this kind of ghost is the most powerful, no wonder that fire is like a long eye, burned to death those people who cooperated with Jicheng Liang ......"

"Ouch, clam all clam color le!"

Glasses man listening to the crowd around the discussion, shivering more and more powerful, so hot day, he hard a large body sweat, back are almost soaked.

He swallowed, turned around and went back -

He's going home.

His parents had been separated for a long time, and he lived with his father, who was also a member of the organization. But in the property shared by his parents, in the old mansion where he lived as a child, there is a safe with a stack of dusty materials, the corners of which have been moth-eaten.

That's Lanpei Jiang's real profile.

His father once told him that once he was in trouble, he would give the stack of information to the police and turn himself in, even if he went to jail, it didn't matter, at least he could get his life back.

He was timid, followed his father is only considered to be in contact with the skin of the organization, the day the police came to his home to investigate, he did not dare to say anything, six gods between also scared vomited, but now he came back to his senses ...... he looked at the list of deaths in the newspaper, know that this matter is by no means that simple.

He didn't want to die ...... he didn't want to be claimed, he was terrified and desperate to get the contents of the safe out and run to the police station -

Once he was afraid of police sirens, nightmares as long as there is a police car siren, he was afraid to sit up and shake like chaff. But now he finally realized with the benefit of hindsight that only the police can save him.

With this in mind, he entered the villa complex, which was a high-end neighborhood twenty years ago, and began to run furiously, terrified that "those people" would catch up with him, and that Lanpei Jiang's ghost would catch up with him.

Reddish tongues of fire, reddish ghost dresses.

"Ah ...... ah!!!"

The more he thought about it, the more scared he was, running and running, couldn't help but scream, urine burst out, glasses in the greasy nose can't hang.

He ran into the garden of the old villa and burst through the door at once -

He was too scared to even realize that the old mansion, which had been abandoned for more than a decade, why the door was unlocked and only the door was falsely covered ......

The glasses man's mind has become a mess, huffing and puffing to run to the basement, the decaying floor like a set of Cheng Kang Hospital dead patient's corpse, under his feet issued a heavy sigh, his spirit are about to collapse, lips shivering out of control.

Help ......

Help ......

"With a bang, the door to the basement was opened and he rushed towards the safe.

He remembered the password, although his father was lewd and lustful, often despised by his aggressive mother when he was young, and then they divorced, but that password was actually his mother's birthday.

Thinking about it, his mother also loved to wear red dresses with curly hair when she was young, when the Hong Kong style was popular, many beautiful women love to dress up like the Hong Kong stars in the pictorials. The most fashionable is that big wave big red dress.

The eye man's fingers trembled as he rotated the knob, once, twice ......

"Click."

The door to the safe opened.

He reached his hand in-!

A few seconds later, his entire body shook violently, almost convulsively, as if it had been electrified.

It's gone!!!

The pile of information!!! It's gone!!!

Impossible ...... how is it possible ......

He suddenly felt something warm, ticking, and landed between his eyebrows.

All the bones in his body looked like they were trying to escape in all directions, but he was still caught in the skin and could only stay inside his body in despair.

Tick.

Another bang.

Another drop of something hot, this time landing on his lips.

Fishy.

The glasses man's eyes protruded, gasped violently, and slowly, with distorted features, raised his face -

He saw a woman.

A dead woman on the stairs, holding a gun in her hand, the brain was shot through, blood flowing on the ground, has been blasted mutilated eyes barely recognizable, the eyes are looking fixedly in his direction.

The woman looked suicidal, but the man with the glasses knew it was never.

Because that's his-

"Mom ......" the man with glasses lost his voice and shouted, not knowing whether it was extreme fear or extreme sadness, "Mom!!! Mom !!!! Ahhh!!! Ahhhhh !!!!"

His mother does not live here ah ...... his mother has not been back here for more than a decade ......

Did she also know about this stack of files? Did she also want to obtain this stack of files to save her son?

Glasses man collapsed, a flop of soft to the ground, tears, snot, sweat and plasma, paste all over the face, the mouth issued a beastly howl, to the end has no idea what is shouting.

Then he heard footsteps from behind him, high heels.

"Da, da, da."

Wearing special, top-tech anti-surveillance shoe covers, the man with glasses had no time to turn around before he felt the same hard object against the back of his head.

A woman's voice gently laughs and sings behind him, "Throw it, throw it, throw the handkerchief, gently put it behind the little one, don't tell him, everyone ......"

The yellowed file bag was handed to him from behind him, by the man, in front of his eyes.

Slightly hot breath right at the temples of the man with glasses, the visitor softly said, "Are you looking for this?"

"...... you ......"

The man with the glasses did not dare to turn around, his teeth chattering straight.

"So did your mother."

"......"

"Your old man is a cowardly hamster, too disloyal to the boss, and hiding such things at home." The woman puffed in his ear, "It's so undeserved ...... he thinks the boss doesn't know?"

"You, who the hell are you ...... ......"

The woman laughed: "What answer does an unfaithful man want to know?"

"......"

"Go ask in hell."

These were the last words the man with the glasses heard.

A few seconds later.

"BANG!!!"

A gunshot shook off the dust in the basement.

The woman bypassed the black and red blood plasma on the ground and indifferently dealt with the scene, then she lowered her eyes and looked at Lanpei Jiang's dossier alone for a while, then walked out of the old, deserted building without looking back ......
