don't pass time

The two arrived at the hospital where Chen Xu was, and asked the front desk as a police officer. After a while, the front desk put down the phone: "I'm sorry, Comrade Police, Chen Xu passed away yesterday. Because he has no relatives, the hospital has already sent the body to the funeral parlor. Issue an announcement according to the prescribed procedures and wait for the claim.”

He passed away yesterday. Yan Lang remembered that Lu Yuan saw Chen Xu while purifying his grievances yesterday, which meant that Chen Xu hadn't passed away at that time. The time of Chen Xu's death was probably after 10:30 in the morning. I checked with the hospital , as expected.

Facing the police, the hospital's reaction speed was fairly quick, and the two quickly got a report about Chen Xu.Lu Yuan was a little stunned all the way, and felt that being with this man was really easy to do.

Chen Xu was admitted to the hospital half a year ago. After being rescued by the city hospital, Chen Xu became a vegetable. Someone transferred him to Jintan Hospital and paid for him all the time, but he never showed up at the hospital in person.During this period, only Chen Xu's landlord came twice. Besides, in the past six months, Chen Xu has never been visited by the outside world.

"Poor." The two sat in the car, and Lu Yuan murmured as he flipped through the document.

"It feels like Chen Xu is waiting for Wu Xingchen to die first."

"Huh? Who is Wu Xingchen?" Lu Yuan held the document and turned his head to look at Yan Lang.Yan Lang reached out and took out a document from the back seat and threw it to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan opened it and found that it was an official autopsy report and some investigation records. After reading two lines, he understood that it belonged to the student who jumped off the building yesterday. According to the information, Wu Xingchen is the name of that student.

Lu Yuan stared at Yan Lang dumbfounded: "Where did you get it? Oh no, when did you steal it? We have been together since yesterday!"

Yan Lang said indifferently: "Student Lu Yuan, what is stealing? Is it difficult to get a copy of the documents? I went to the police station in the open, before you get up this morning."

He really answered every question, Lu Yuan thought wildly, and realized that it seems that it is only two months now, but he seems to have asked Yan Lang many questions, and every question has no big or small Yan Lang will answer him seriously.

"Why are you in a daze?" Yan Lang glanced at him, "Do you have Xu Yao's phone number?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan took out the phone and dialed it knowingly: "When do you ask her to meet?"

Yan Lang watched his movements and smiled, a little appreciative of "this kid is really good": "Today would be best, but it still depends on her condition."

Lu Yuan nodded, the phone was connected, and after a few words, he handed the phone to Yan Lang with a blank expression: "She wants to talk to you." Yan Lang picked it up, and heard the girl on the other end say: "Teacher Yan, I want to talk to you." Talk to you alone. Will you?"

The so-called suicide game, with ten people as a group, draw lots to decide who will start, choose a way of death, and randomly notify the next person, the person who is selected will record the way of death of the previous person, and is responsible for telling others, this It was also Xu Yao who told Yan Lang and the others after seeing Maoqiu's circle of friends, the next dead.

The whole process proceeds with such a simple mechanism until the death of the last person.

The two of them were on the roof of the teaching building, and the sunlight dragged their shadows long.This is the place Xu Yao chose. She sat on the steps under the fence, shrinking herself into a small ball, as if spring could warm the whole world, but it couldn't warm her.

"What if," Yan Lang was also sitting, and after listening to the rules of the so-called suicide game, he stood up, his gentle demeanor gradually disappeared, and he looked down at the girl, "What if someone regrets halfway and wants to quit?"

Xu Yao, who was originally calm, suddenly covered her face and let out a heart-piercing cry when she heard the words. Yan Lang sighed, sat back, and became a gentle teacher Yan again. He reached out and patted Xu Yao's shoulder. As if holding on to a life-saving straw, he turned around and threw himself into Yan Lang's arms, crying loudly.Yan Lang didn't raise his hand, nor did he release it, so he had to stop in mid-air without embarrassment, paying attention not to touch the girl awkwardly.

The shadow was getting longer and longer, Yan Lang listened to Xu Yao's cry in silence, after an unknown amount of time, the girl finally struggled to calm herself down, with an abnormal flush on her face, she said softly, "I'm sorry."

Yan Lang said gently, "It's okay."

Yan Lang hit the nail on the head and completely defeated Xu Yao, because she was scared when the third person died, but she said at the beginning of the ten-person group that she must not quit.She struggled for a long time, secretly withdrew from the group, and deleted the few people who were still alive.

After a few days of trembling, Xu Yao found that the people she had deleted suddenly appeared in her friends list again. She frantically unblocked them one by one, but when she returned home that day, she received a thick envelope and a package .

The envelope contained all the information about Xu Yao from childhood to adulthood, the exact address and contact number of Xu's family, the information of all family and friends related to Xu Yao, and even the detailed itinerary of Xu's father for a week. See who did what, everything is clear.Xu Yao even found on the record of the fifth day that Father Xu went to the hotel with his mistress, but Father Xu did not come home that day, he said he was going on a business trip.

On the last page of the information, a sentence was spelled out in various fonts cut from newspapers: "If you don't want to drag them down, remember to abide by the rules of the game."

Inside the package was a bloody dead cat.

Xu Yao collapsed.

Those people who were blocked for the second time returned to her friend list. She went to and from school as usual, but no one knew that she locked herself in the bed and trembled night after night. At first she cried every day, but later she even cried Can't come out, just trembling with eyes open.Finally, after five days, Xu Yao's taut strings broke. If so, then die according to the original plan. No matter what, you will die, so what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of if you lose your life?

The only way is to die. If you die, you can still protect your family. Isn't this just fulfilling your previous wish?

"Since I'm going to die, there's only one thing I'm not reconciled to." Xu Yao stared at Yan Lang in a daze. I feel that life may be saved, because of Teacher Yan, so I really want to try my best to live."

Yan Lang was stunned, he asked himself that he was not a dull person after living for so long, but he was still insensitive to other people's feelings.It's been too long, and he has met too many people who appear and leave in a hurry. He doesn't know, and doesn't care what attitudes or feelings others will have towards him.

"Teacher Yan, what should I do if I like you so much?" Xu Yao's eyes were red, and tears filled her eyes after she said those words. She looked at Yan Lang with the words "Pear Blossom with Rain", and something in her eyes made Yan Lang's heart sink, "What do you think I should do?"

This is the first time that Yan Lang has lived in the world as a teacher. It has been a long time, and there has never been a moment like this, which made him realize his current identity and responsibility.

But he didn't know if he could bear that responsibility, so he could only keep silent.

Seeing Yan Lang's reaction, Xu Yao smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm going to die anyway, what's the use of thinking about it. I'm sorry, Teacher Yan, for causing you trouble."

Yan Lang looked at her, and when he heard the word "I'm sorry", he felt like a glow on his back. He saw the orange light covering a small piece of dust flying, and suddenly felt flustered for no reason, and wanted to see Lu Yuan very much.

Lu Yuan, Yan Lang recalled the name from the bottom of his heart, sighed quietly, then turned his eyes back to the girl's face, the eyes were as calm as water, he shook his head: "I don't know why you believe me, but since Let me know, and I won't let this matter go unnoticed. I can guarantee that you don't have to die. As for what you should do..."

Xu Yao looked up at Yan Lang, the sun was about to set, and she heard his voice like water: "The so-called preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts, but I can only teach books, but I can't educate people. I'm sorry, I don't know what to do, I can't solve the disease in your heart, because I haven't understood it yet."

In this world, who can save who? If possible, I also hope that I am the one who is saved.

After sending Xu Yao to the door, Yan Lang decided to ask when he parked the car, so he asked, "Did someone tell you about me?"

Xu Yao's face turned pale when she heard the words, and Yan Lang knew that she had guessed right. After waiting for a few seconds, she heard Xu Yao timidly say, "I can't say."

Yan Lang touched the center of his eyebrows with the back of his hand, and said again: "The last question, among the ten of you, will you choose the same method of suicide?"

Xu Yao thought that there was no need to bring up this topic again, so when Yan Lang asked again, she showed a bit of disgust and anxiety on her face: "No, no, everyone's suicide method cannot be repeated."

Then Chen Xu and Wu Xingchen...

Yan Lang sat alone in the car for a while. Although he often loses strength after expending his spiritual energy in the large-scale purification, he seldom feels tired like this.He carefully explored his heart, and came to a conclusion with only two words - Lu Yuan.

For a long time, one hundred years after another, he has been numb. Most of the emotions and external influences are first transmitted to the brain, not the heart, so the feeling is always separated by a layer of frosted glass, which seems unreal.But now, because of the joy and worry of some lost and regained, the whole life has become more vivid and more susceptible to external influences.

So, having some things is luck and misfortune.

Yan Lang opened the door but didn't see Lu Yuan. He looked around and searched every room one by one, only to find that there was really no one at home.Standing in the middle of the living room, he suddenly lost his mind, and a sense of panic spread all of a sudden. Before he left, he clearly promised to wait for him at home, but the person disappeared.

There was some anxiety and cruelty in his eyes, the pain called loss came from thousands of years ago and pierced his chest again.
