[Zhongyingmei] Devouring the sky

Little Nicholas nestled into his room after returning home. He will take the university entrance exam next year and needs to spend more time studying.Although their family has a small restaurant and their business is usually good, there are only more than 1000 people in this small town, and their support will not make much profit at all, so if little Nicholas wants to go to a better university, he needs himself Getting a scholarship is not an easy task.

So little Nicholas kept studying until it was almost dark before coming out of the house. There are no entertainment activities in the town at night, and everyone is used to going home early. When little Nicholas came out, there were no customers in the store, and the store was closed. , his father Jason is cleaning the store, and his mother Selena is doing routine accounting.

"Hey, Mom, where's my dinner?" Little Nicholas asked, yawning.

"Here." Selena took out a plate of fried chicken and mashed potatoes from under the counter, and then continued to bury her head in counting the banknotes in the drawer: "Today's income is good, we can buy more drinks next, the weather is warm Order, the wine will sell well.”

"Then I'll call tomorrow and ask the supermarket to send some over." Jason walked over with a stool with loose legs in his hand and said to move around.

"Yes, I want some more beer." Selena replied, and then she took out a crumpled and wet banknote from the drawer and pasted it on the table in front of little Nicholas, pointing to a line of spent handwriting on the banknote and said : "Nicholas, did you receive this money? I hope you will pay more attention next time and don't collect such money. If it is any worse, we won't be able to spend it."

"It was given to me by Sanchez, but it wasn't wet before." Little Nicholas frowned and moved the banknote to his face. code.

"What's written on it?" Selina asked casually.

"A period... this is a distress signal!" Little Nicholas dropped the fork in his hand in surprise, he stood up and said to Selena: "I knew Sanchez was not right today, he told me before, he lied He stuttered when he told me that he had a bad cold just now. No, I have to go see him, Dad, can you drive me there?"

Jason put down the stool in his hand, looked at his anxious little son, and said uncertainly: "Boy, are you sure that what is written on it is indeed a distress signal and not a joke? If he wants to ask you for help, why not face it What do you say?"

"Maybe someone was staring at him at the time, so he didn't have a chance to say it?" The more Nicholas thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. He thought the situation was a bit strange before, but now he finally remembered why it was strange, except that Sanchez's performance was not right. Besides, the house didn't look like much at the time.Although Sanchez is an otaku, he is not the kind of gloomy person. He likes rock music and sunshine. Generally, when Nicholas Jr. goes to Sanchez's house, the windows are always wide open, and there is music coming out, but Today, every window in Sanchez's house is tightly covered by curtains, and there is no movement in the house. It is so strange to think about it now.

"I think you watch too much TV. Who will stare at him, even if there are gangsters, they won't look for him. How much money can he have?" Jason said.

"Jason." Selena looked at her husband disapprovingly, and said, "You can go with Nicholas to have a look. After all, Sanchez is also our old customer. It's good if he has nothing to do. In case something happens, we It’s better to help him in the past.”

"Okay, okay." Jason couldn't refuse the wife's order, so he said to little Nicholas, "Eat the fried chicken on your plate. We'll go there before it's dark."

"I'm done." Little Nicholas said and stuffed the few pieces of chicken left on the plate into his mouth, and then urged Jason to drive anxiously.

When Little Nicholas and the others drove to Sanchez's house, it was already dark. Sanchez's house was dark, and compared with the neighbor's house with lights on, it looked very gloomy.

Little Nicholas had a bad premonition in his heart. As soon as the car stopped, he jumped down and ran to the door of Sanchez's house and knocked on the door: "Mr. Sanchez, are you at home? Mr. Sanchez, I'm Nicholas, how is your cold? I'll come and see you!"

"Sanchis, I'm Jason, are you home?" Jason parked the car and walked down, helping Nicholas to call for someone.

But they yelled for a long time, until the neighbors next door came out, but there was still no response from the house.

"Are you looking for Sanchez? The lights in his house haven't been turned on since just now. I thought he was out." Mr. Hall lives in a house more than ten meters away from Sanchez's house, and he can easily see Sanchez's house movement.

"His cars are all here." Little Nicholas said, pointing to an old Ford in the yard: "He told me that he had a bad cold this morning. I don't think he will go out."

"Then why shouldn't he, has he fainted?" said Mr. Hall.

Jason glanced at Little Nicholas, stretched out his hand and pushed him away a little and said, "You wait here, Mr. Hall and I will go in and have a look. If he faints, we will take him to the hospital."

"Okay." Little Nicholas nodded obediently, and took the initiative to retreat a little.

Mr. Hall did not object. Although he didn't like Sanchez very much, he would not ignore it when he knew that the other party might be sick and fainted. After all, he had been a neighbor for several years.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Jason kicked open the door of Sanchez's house. With a "bang", a gust of cold air rushed out from the door. It was so cold that I couldn't help shivering.

"Why is it so cold, did he turn on the air conditioner?" Mr. Hall said with his arms frustrated.

Jason turned on the light switch by the door and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Mr. Hall nodded and followed Jason into the house.

The layout of every house here is similar, so the two walked to the stairwell without hesitation, and then they saw the stairs covered with a thin layer of ice.

Mr. Hall's eyes widened, he pointed to the stairs in disbelief and said, "This, is this ice?"

Jason stretched out his hand and touched it, and the cold temperature immediately spread to his fingers, "It's ice."

The two looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became serious. Then one of them picked up the mop on the side, and the other picked up the big vase on the table, and walked up the stairs carefully side by side.

The second floor is much colder than the first floor. The floor and walls of the corridor are all covered with thin ice, which is as cold as a refrigerator. The two of them came to the door of the master bedroom with vigilant and strange expressions. After there was no movement, he kicked towards the bedroom door at the same time.

The bedroom door slammed down, and the scene inside was displayed in front of the two of them. It was white, and everything was white. Except for a computer screen that was still glowing, everything in the room, including the floor, walls, roof, tables, chairs, Inside the bed, everything was covered with a thick layer of frost.As for Sanchez inside, they could only tell from his shape that he was sitting in front of the computer desk. His body was also covered with thick frost, which made him look like a large ice sculpture in the shape of a human.

"God, Sanchez!" Mr. Hall shouted and rushed into the house. He wanted to push away the ice and snow on Sanchez's body, but the moment his hand touched Sanchez, there was a "crash", and the ice sculpture in front of him fell on his body. It was shattered into hundreds of pieces in front of it.

Broken corpses were scattered all over the ground. Because even the blood was covered with ice, there was no blood on the ground, but those red and white fragments were scary enough. Mr. Hall stretched out his hand and maintained the previous movement. Twitching non-stop, he looked as if he was going to faint, but because he was afraid of falling on the frozen corpses under his feet, he finally managed to control the fainting feeling firmly.

Jason was so frightened that he stood in the corridor for several seconds, then he shook violently, rushed in, pulled Mr. Hall out, and ran downstairs.Call the police, you must call the police, this is no longer a place for people to stay.

The Tom family far away in London is enjoying dinner. Because of the arrival of Sherlock and John, Diana and Emma have made a particularly rich dinner. In order to cater to the appetite of the two big men, they made several meat dishes. Earl was overjoyed.In particular, there is a plate of roasted chicken legs, which is Fenrir's favorite food. At this moment, he is grabbing a big chicken leg and gnawing on it with a very bold gesture.

This kind of action is very cute on a child, but it seems somewhat impolite, and because Fenrir ate too boldly, half of his face was covered with oil stains, shining under the light, very striking.

Tom restrained the smile on his face, picked up the napkin and wiped Fenrir's face, while educating: "Fenrir, dear, it doesn't look good for you to eat like this, you should bite slowly, and then eat slowly. Chew. You can eat a little more today, but follow the rules."

"But this is very MAN, a man must eat chicken legs like this." Fenrir said while letting Tom wipe his face with his face up.

Sol is like this when he eats chicken legs, and he will throw the cup after eating. Fenrir always thinks this looks very powerful, so he will imitate it when he has the opportunity, which will make him a kind of great himself The feeling of the king of gods.Of course Fenrir will not throw the cup, because he knows that it is wrong to spoil things casually,

Fenrir's words made all the adults present laugh. Emma couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed her little nephew, and then said with a smile: "Honey, who told you that men eat chicken legs like this, it's not true , look, your father, Sherlock and John are all very refined, this is what a man should look like when he eats chicken legs."

"But I don't want to do this. It's not pleasant to eat like this." Fenrir said while shaking the chicken leg.

"But we don't need to be refreshing when eating, so in the future, you will learn to eat chicken drumsticks in a gentle way, okay?" Tom patted Fenrir's head and said.

"Okay then." Fenrir agreed after thinking for a while. He felt that he would not stay here for a long time, so he could have a few gentle meals here. Don't change it, he will be a warrior of Asgard in the future, and a warrior should eat like this!

Looking at the family's way of getting along, Sherlock was also in a good mood, but it soon became bad, because he received a call from Mycroft.Mycroft seldom called Sherlock, but every time what he said would make Sherlock unhappy, this time Sherlock also had no hope, he pressed the call button impatiently, and then directly He said: "Fatty, did you have a toothache today that you can't eat dessert? Hehe, your dentist will be happy, because he will have a new income soon."

"Sherlock, it's business." Mycroft did not bicker with Sherlock as usual, he said calmly: "I have received an abnormal death case here, the circumstances are very special, and the preliminary judgment is murder, Greg Will come to pick you up, how dare you solve dinner."

"What kind of special law?" Sherlock became interested, and it must be very interesting for McCoff to come forward in a case.

"The victim and his entire room were frozen into a large block of ice. The first person who found him touched him and then he shattered into hundreds of pieces. It is not sure whether it is unnatural or not. I want you to take a look, I don't want to cause unnecessary panic." Mycroft said, turning the pen.

"Don't worry, fat man, I must find out the tricks of the suspect." Sherlock said, his tone was calm, but in fact he was already tap dancing in his heart. It wouldn't make McCaw feel it.

After Mycroft hung up the phone, Sherlock jumped up from the stool with his fists in his hands and cheered. It's such a great day, isn't it?

Diana and Emma looked at Sherlock strangely, while Tom and John couldn't help covering their faces. None of them noticed that Fenrir, who was happily eating chicken legs, covered his face thoughtfully. Necklace pendant on chest.
