In my memory, it was also a slightly cool early autumn. Shao Li tore up the drawing and threw it into the Huicheng River depressedly, watching the fragments being washed away by the river numbly.

He once made a name for himself with a suspense-themed horror comic, but he hasn't released anything decent since that work.There is no good story, so what if the painting is beautiful, and there are still scolding everywhere.If it hadn't turned red to purple at the beginning, it probably wouldn't have fallen so hard from such a high place all of a sudden.

Story story story!How can there be so many stories to tell?No matter how popular the subject matter is, it's hard to catch a person's personality. He doesn't want to follow the crowd, let alone go along with it in order to gain attention.

Shao Li drank most of the beer, threw away the can and got back into the car. He didn't believe that he would fall like this forever. What he lacked was the sense of shock.

Yes, that’s right, whether it’s horror or suspense, it’s not enough to just scare people, he needs enough shocking gimmicks and an impeccable ending, as well as... an immersive sense of reality.

If you don't even believe it yourself, how can you tell others to believe it?

Thinking of doing it, Shao Li drove towards the outskirts of the city without hesitation. The farther and farther he went, the more desolate, the urban and rural roads were dark in the middle of the night, so remote that he couldn't even see a person. This is what he wanted. A feeling of tension, excitement, and a subtle sense of dread.

Just as he was intoxicated in this atmosphere, a figure suddenly flashed within the reach of the high beam, and the car felt a sudden collision. Shao Li instinctively slammed on the brakes and slid over 50 meters before stopping.

Goo-dong, goo-dong.

His heart was beating so fast that he was about to burst his throat, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He gasped for breath, trying to calm himself down.

what to do?Hit someone!

He opened the car door in a panic and walked back, using the light of the mobile phone to illuminate the asphalt road, the tires dragged a long bloodstain, he followed the bloodstain, slowly moved step by step to the starting point of the trace, the body lay quietly in the light She didn't move, it was a naked woman!

do you died?Maybe still alive?Shao Li stretched out his hand to feel the woman's breath, and the faint hot air sprayed on his fingertips, becoming weaker and weaker each time.

Maybe there is help!

Taking off his coat and wrapping it around the woman, he struggled to drag her into the car, he had to find the nearest hospital!Before he could pull out his phone and click on the navigation, the window of the car was suddenly slammed, scaring him almost to throw away the phone.

How could someone be here?This broken forest is dense with darkness, who is so nervous to hang out here in the middle of the night?

Shao Li vigilantly looked at the man outside the car through the glass window. The glass was covered with a dark protective film, and the lights were blind. He was sure that the man could not see what was going on in the car at all.

Unconsciously, he glanced at the woman in the back seat, his heart clenched tightly, this situation was too weird.In the woods late at night, a naked woman ran out of the woods, followed by a tall man?Either way, you should call the police.

In the tension, the simple three numbers were pressed wrong again and again, and when the correct number was finally displayed on the screen, the passenger door was pulled open, and a figure with a muddy smell approached, and the phone fell into the opponent's hand .

God, I made such a mistake and forgot to lock the car door under my nervousness.There was a sharp pain in the throat, and the cold blade pressed against the skin, sending out bursts of chill.

"You...what are you going to do?" Looking directly at the other party's menacing eyes like a bluff, Shao Li leaned against the back of the chair, and quietly moved his left hand to the car door, "If you want money, here is the wallet."

"Don't move around, be honest, there is no need to use a knife if you open the door for me." The man's tall body squeezed into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and even closed the door, "Let's go to Nanyan City. "

What are you kidding?This is Huicheng, and it is at least 2000 kilometers away from Nanyan City. Does that mean that you can go there?But with the blade on his neck, he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only state an indisputable fact, "I don't know the way."

"I know, drive."

"No...I have to go to the hospital first." Looking at the rear seat through the rearview mirror, Shao Li said with little confidence, "I bumped into someone, at least let me send her to the hospital!"

The man lifted the blood-stained coat and took a look, then sat back in his seat and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you hit someone?"

"Yeah." Feeling the man's scrutiny, Shao Li turned his face away uncomfortably. He hated this weird probing gaze, and there was an indescribable clarity that seemed to see through everything, "When I bumped into her, she was the light I did it, I didn't do it!"

"Are you sure you don't intend to throw the body?"

One sentence made Shao Li furious, and even his fear was forgotten, "I want to send her to the hospital for emergency treatment! You are the murderer, you rapist!"

Oops!Don't talk nonsense.The stabbing pain in his neck reminded him that the knife was still on his neck, he had no room to bargain with the murderer, and what he heard was the other party's cold hum with unknown meaning.

"I'm not interested, hurry up and drive your car."

fraud!What about lying and cheating ghosts?You are the only ones popping up out of nowhere in the wilderness, who else could it be?Could it be me?Shao Li turned down his face and started the car, driving along the remote road.

"Take the second exit on the ring road ahead, it's best not to play tricks on me."

The man's voice was deep and fierce, Shao Li didn't dare to resist, but kept peeping at the people in the back seat through the rearview mirror, bleeding so much, he would really die if he didn't rescue him.

As if aware of Shao Li's small movements, the man patted the back of the chair behind Shao Li heavily as a warning, "She's already dead, and it's useless to send her to the hospital. You can't get away with being the driver of the accident. If you're honest, I'll It can help you."

The moment the man spoke, Shao Li's mind went blank.died?or dead?It's one thing to be able to afford compensation, but it's even worse if the police catch you driving under the influence.

What to do? What to do? What to do?Can't go to prison, and can't be known by anyone. The once popular cartoonist killed someone by drunk driving?If this news gets out, my life will be ruined!If you want to escape, you must escape.

"You said...you will help me?" Shao Li murmured repeating the man's words, as if brainwashing himself, "Why help me?"

The man gave Shao Li a cold look, but did not answer.

How stupid, why not ask?Shao Li wanted to smile wryly, but he couldn't at all.The reason why the other party is willing to help him is not hard to guess. A car and a driver are free. The purpose of helping him escape the crime is just in exchange for the status of an accomplice, so that he has no position to call the police.

Obedience is probably the wisest choice when no better countermeasure has been thought of.He really wanted to ask why this man went so far away from Nanyan, and why he appeared in such a remote woods, various crime-related ideas emerged in his mind one by one.

But he didn't dare to ask. As the saying goes, the more you know, the sooner you die. It's better to keep silent for now. At least he should be relatively safe until he reaches Nanyan.

Shao Li hesitantly glanced at the man's gloomy face from time to time, endured the pungent smell of cigarettes, and asked fearfully, "What about the corpse...?"
