Something happened shortly after Yu Bingwen asked for the jade lock back.

That day he had a quarrel with Luo Youning on the phone, and in the middle of the night he was anxious to drive to the house to confront him.

Luo Youning waited for half a night, and all he got was a cold phone call: "Luo Youning, let's break up. I will love my relatives, and you will chase after you."

His car was found in a ditch facing the street the next day.The accident investigation said that it was drunk driving, and the brakes were turned into accelerators, causing the car to rush directly into the river.

When he was dying, he was still holding the jade lock tightly in his hand.The brittle stones were fragmented, and a small piece was deeply embedded in the flesh of his palm.The river water dilutes the dripping blood, leaving only those soaked white wounds, hideous and terrifying.

"Da Yu was hospitalized before because of drinking on social occasions. I don't believe he will drink and drive."

"—He was the one who blocked the disaster for me," Luo Youning lowered his head, Qiao Jing couldn't see his expression, he could only hear his voice gradually hoarse, choked as if pressed in his throat, those unspeakable pain finally It just turned into an understatement, "You don't know, since he wanted to go back that cracked jade lock, he became very irritable. During that time, we quarreled almost every day. When I said we wanted to break up, he began to accept the relationship at home. Arranged blind date. I really thought we were going to end it... but didn't expect it to be this way."

Qiao Jing felt that she should touch him to comfort him, but he found that he couldn't.So he turned his eyes away and tried to calm his emotions, "The theory of preventing disasters is absurd, and Bingwen's death has nothing to do with you. Why do you take the blame for crimes that don't belong to you? He won't survive, You will only live in more pain."

"Qiao Jing, did you hear..." Luo Youning raised his head, his lips were so white that they lost all color, his eyes were full of fear, he seemed to be very cold, and his lips trembled when he spoke Jitter: "Someone...is singing?"

At the same time, the descending elevator clanged, as if it had hit something, and stopped after shaking for a moment.

The lights in the elevator also dimmed at that moment.

Qiao Jing reacted very quickly, and grabbed Luo Youning's hand and pulled her to her side.

He did hear someone singing too.

The singing sound was ethereal, as if it was far away.The tune is like a rural nursery rhyme, and the lyrics are weird. There is only one sentence repeatedly: "Lin Zhongyan, who is hiding. The eyes in the pool, who are you watching...Lin Zhongyan, who are you hiding. I stopped barking, where did the fish in Burial Soul Pond go? They must die! They must die!"

Obviously the entire elevator has been cut off, but the sound of clicking can still be heard.

As the sound grew louder, the elevator quietly opened a wide gap.Obviously there are no windows around, but there is still a trickle of gray and white falling into a small square of light, like the belated moonlight, I don’t know where it came from quietly, and I don’t know where to lure it.

Outside the elevator door is a straight corridor, and the high walls on both sides make the corridor narrow and oppressive.

"... Lin Zhongyan, who is hiding. Eyes in the pool, who are you spying on."

The elevator door opened for a moment and then slowly closed. When it closed a crack, it seemed to be stuck on someone, and slowly slid open to both sides.

The elevator doors opened and closed, and the strange clicking sound could be heard endlessly.

The people around him were trembling, and the hand held in the palm seemed to be a few inches smaller, and could be completely curled into the palm, but the touch was so cold and stiff.Qiao Jing sensed something was wrong, but she didn't dare to let go rashly, she could only turn her head to take a look in the weak light.

It was pitch black and there was no one around.But a voice called him softly: "Ah Jing, Ah Jing!"

Qiao Jing followed the voice and lowered his head, he finally saw the person he was holding in his hand——

It was a fat child about eight or nine years old, and it was looking at him with its head up.Despite being in the dark, its facial features are still clearly visible.

The dark eyes and pale face are obviously so ferocious, but Qiao Jing still finds them somewhat familiar.

It stared at him for a moment, and its childish tone seemed particularly terrifying in this weird atmosphere: "Ah Jing—hide quickly. He is coming to us."

As soon as the sound came to an end, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the end of the narrow corridor, and the walls on both sides squeezed it almost twisted.

The coldness in his palm had gradually dissipated, and the child who was holding his hand hid at some point.

Qiao Jing stared at the figures getting closer and closer in the corridor, and took a small step forward.

"Don't go out——" Luo Youning's voice came from the corner, panting word by word, "Don't go out! That's not Bingwen...it's him! He found us!"

Silent figures were still walking towards them.

Every step it took, its shoulder bones rubbed against the rough wall, walking step by step, the tall figure seemed to be crushed by invisible big palms, stuffed into a narrow can.

The bones of that body kept making terrifying noises, and the broken bones pierced through the flesh and protruded and scratched the wall. More and more blood dripped down, and then dripped to the ground along the wide trouser legs, and finally merged into a A trickle of water meanders in the direction of the elevator.

Thick black blood overflowed the elevator door, and it was about to seep to Qiao Jing's shoes. At that moment, the light in the corner suddenly flickered twice, and turned on tremblingly again.

All the visions disappeared the moment the light came.

The elevator came to a steady stop on the negative floor, and as the female mechanical voice announced the number of floors, the elevator doors opened again.

Brightly lit outside the elevator is the building's underground parking lot.

Qiao Jing hurriedly went to find Luo Youning, only to find that the other party was curled up in a corner and still trembling.

His curled up posture is particularly weird, as if he is shrinking in some small space, hiding from someone.

"Youning," Qiao Jing reached out and stroked his hair lightly, "Youning, it's okay."

The large palm is warm and dry, as if it can iron out all the pain.

The elevator doors opened for a moment, then closed again.

Luo Youning gradually stopped trembling, he moved slightly, and immediately put down his hands covering his head and face, he looked at Qiao Jing with blank fear, "That person left?"

"Let's go, it's okay." Qiao Jing bowed and supported him to stand up from the ground, and patted the dust between his clothes and pants for him.

Luo Youning lowered her head, obediently letting him fiddle with her.

Qiao Jing didn't dare to let him go alone, so she held his hand tightly and led him to drive.

It wasn't until he got into the car that the enclosed space seemed to give him a slight sense of security. After the car drove out of the parking lot, Luo Youning seemed to have really recovered.

The car was a bit stuffy, and the car perfume was mixed with the smell of leather, which made people dizzy.

Qiao Jing turned off the air conditioner and opened the car window wide.

The night wind blows away the hustle and bustle of the city, there are no more vehicles on the roads, the lights of tall buildings and buildings are all turned off, and the night is so deep that even the stars are dimmed.

"It was sung by the children in Dayu's hometown when they were playing hide-and-seek, usually in dialect," Luo Youning finally agreed to speak, but his voice was very low, and the words were blown away by the noisy evening wind Fragmented, "When I was a child, I would go back to Dayu's hometown to play with Dayu every summer vacation..."

He hesitated to speak, and finally stopped talking.

"Bingwen said that you are accomplices. So," Qiao Jing only asked him, "What have you been hiding from me?"

Luo Youning's lips moved slightly, and he was silent for a long time, but he still didn't speak after all.
