Aliens on Earth [Interstellar]

Ji Lin teased the black cat for a while. Seeing that the black cat was determined to follow the unusual path for 100 years, he stopped and threw the cat teaser aside.

He decided to adopt a black cat, not because he wanted to try to raise a pet, or a plaything that could be amusing, but because he wanted an existence that could accompany him.To sum up the reason in the final analysis, it is probably that he feels lonely.

It's not that Ji Lin doesn't have any friends, but because of his cold temper, he only has one or two friends.However, because of the reason for his resignation from the institute a month ago, one had to be subtracted from the two.And the only remaining friend went abroad after graduation.Ji Lin is very used to being alone, but it doesn't mean he doesn't yearn for the feeling of being with someone, so when the landlady suggested that he adopt this black cat, he was tempted.Although the black cat's personality is not very good, at least it looks fluffy and cute.

Ji Lin looked at his phone, the time was almost 1 o'clock, he went to work at 2 o'clock, if he didn't go out, he would be late for work.

Ji Lin went to prepare the black cat's cat food and water for the night. He hesitated for a moment with the two bowls in hand, and finally put them on the dining table—the black cat's obsession with eating on the table probably won't change in the short term. up.

"I'm going to work."

Ji Lin wanted to touch the black cat's head in the past, but the black cat turned his head away shamelessly, Ji Lin didn't mind, took his mobile phone and wallet and went out.

The porch was opened first, then closed with a bang, and the sound of Ji Lin's footsteps disappeared outside the door.

The black cat lying on the sofa moved its ears, jumped off the sofa, walked to the living room window, and jumped onto the window sill.It hid behind the curtains and waited until Ji Lin walked out of the tube building. After a little distance, it got out through the anti-theft bar of the window, concocted the way last night, and took advantage of the foothold of the air conditioner to make a few quick jumps, and then landed steadily. Landed on the ground of the first floor.

In the midsummer afternoon, the air is hot and the ground is hot under the sun.

When the black cat's paws stepped on the sun-baked ground, they were so hot that they retracted their paws and shook, and its forward movement paused.Then, he jumped out quickly and ran towards the direction Ji Lin left.

Not long after the black cat ran to the station, it saw Ji Lin get on the bus. It flicked its tail and approached the rear of the bus. The moment the bus started, it jumped up like a phantom and landed on the bus silently. on the roof.

The bus speeded out of the bus station and drove the fare dodger on the roof into the driveway.

Like other big supermarkets, Lefu Supermarket opens at 10:[-] am and closes at [-]:[-] pm.Ji Lin is on the evening shift today, and usually he will leave work after the supermarket closes at ten o'clock in the evening.However, there is no way to get off work on time tonight, and the supermarket has stock.

The delivery truck arrived at 09:30, and Loss Prevention followed the supermarket staff to work until closing time. The goods had not been unloaded, so they had to continue.

"Hurry up! There is still one car, move it into the warehouse and get off work."

Someone yelled, and Ji Lin followed Lao Zhao to move the unloaded goods from the truck to the forklift.The forklifts were full, and soon someone pulled them away, and dragged the empty forklifts over to make up for them.Even though they were rushing to get off work, everyone's hands and feet were quite neat, but it was already past 10:[-] when the goods were actually collected and left for get off work.

In summer, the bus stops at 11 pm at the latest, so at this time, there are still buses at the bus stop opposite the Lefu Supermarket. Unfortunately, there are no direct buses to the old city.No. 37 from Lefu Supermarket to the old city, the last bus is at 10:20 in the evening.

Ji Lin had no choice but to get off at a place 4 stops away from the old town, and then walk back.

The old city is not as lively as the urban area. The urban area is still brightly lit at this time, and there are many people there all night long. However, after 10 o’clock in the old city, there are basically no pedestrians on the road, and there are few cars on the road. .

Ji Lin was walking on the sidewalk, the warm light of the street lamp hit him, leaving a light shadow on the road.As he walked forward, it continued to lengthen and shorten.When the shadow huddled under his feet again, Ji Lin stopped and looked back suddenly.

He felt as if someone was following him.

However, there is nothing on the road behind.

Ji Lin frowned and stood there for a while, seeing a taxi approaching from a distance and stopping at the intersection not far behind him.A young man got out of the car first, and then the young man walked around from the back of the car, opened the door on the other side, and helped a young girl down from above.

When the girl came down, she staggered a bit, turned her foot in her high heels, and almost fell down. Fortunately, the young man supported her quickly.

"Don't drink if you don't know how to drink, what are you doing!" The young man complained unhappily, and then helped the girl to walk into the path at the intersection.

The figure of a man and a woman disappeared at the intersection, and the taxi drove away quickly, but Ji Lin still didn't notice anyone following him.

Maybe it's an illusion... right?

Thinking about that, Ji Lin turned his head, ready to move on.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

A shrill scream suddenly broke the silence of the night.

Ji Lin suddenly turned around.

"Ah - woo..."

The cry suddenly stopped.

Immediately, Ji Lin saw a man crawling out of the intersection where the couple walked in just now.

"Weird, monster..." The man ran and shouted in a voice that changed his tone in fright, "Help, help—"

Ji Lin's face tightened, he turned around and was about to walk towards the man when he felt his trousers being grabbed.He looked down and saw the black cat that was supposed to be at home was biting his trousers and pulling them back desperately.The meaning is obvious, it doesn't want him to pass.

"Let go."

Something terrible must have happened in that dark alley, otherwise the man wouldn't have been so frightened.Ji Lin didn't intend to take care of something that was clearly dangerous, but it's basically impossible to do such a thing without being cold-blooded to a certain extent.At least pull away the man who has completely panicked, and don't let him run around on the road like this.

Ji Lin was about to bend down to push the black cat away when he heard a sudden brake on the road.

Ji Lin looked up, and saw that a car barely stopped at the distance of the man.

"What are you running around on the road at night? You're looking for death!" The owner got out of the car and yelled at the man angrily.

"Monster... There are monsters!" The man rushed up and grabbed the owner's arm, pointed at the path, and said incoherently, "Fangfang was eaten...dead...bitten to death...it's all blood..."

"You crazy! What..." The car owner looked in the direction the man pointed, and the scolding stopped abruptly.

Inside the trail, the street lights were dim, but in the dim light, the car owner saw a monster that looked like a lizard, but was twice the size of an adult man. It was lying on the ground, and it was easy to see it from the side angle. munching on something...

The black cat disappeared at some point, and Ji Lin didn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being, so he ran to the owner of the car quickly.Therefore, Ji Lin also saw the scene in the trail exactly.
