There is a demon at sunrise

Sometimes Zhao Yao would go to the restricted area to have a look. All the residents and merchants there had been relocated, keeping their post-war appearance, which made Zhao Yao feel that Christmas Eve four years ago had never passed.

The hibiscus tree is huge, and it has been growing slowly. At the beginning, it only occupied the position of the abyss. Later, the blood-red vines spread, and branches and leaves began to grow in the houses on both sides of the road. The hibiscus tree unites the ruins of human beings, like A forest where trees and human structures merge.

Some people say that sooner or later, the hibiscus tree will spread its roots to all corners of the world. At present, its growth rate is still very slow. Four years later, it has expanded by 1000 meters, and it has not gone out of that block so far.

There are few people here, but there are many small animals that come to inhabit. The hibiscus trees that humans fear are often crawling with little squirrels. The wild cats, dogs and mice in Quanyi City gather here. All things have spirits, and they naturally like to have spirits. s things.It's like Xiao Yao likes to sit next to Xie Yue.

Zhao Yao got the pass that Qi Xiu gave him. The restricted area is not open to ordinary people. Qi Xiu helped him deal with many things.Zhao Yao parked the car at the intersection, and then he could only walk in.There are many red vines entwined on the ground. Although the hibiscus tree is very quiet, many people will feel fear when they walk in. The vines seem to be alive.

As soon as Zhao Yao reached the block, he was stunned. Someone had already arrived ahead of time.

Everything seemed small under the hibiscus tree as tall as a skyscraper, including the monster standing under the tree.

From a distance, it looks like a mountain of meat, like countless sarcoids piled up together, with hundreds of eyes embedded in the flesh, he seems to be aware of Zhao Yao's existence, hundreds of eyeballs turned together, and they were frighteningly swaying towards Zhao Yao. With Zhao Yao.

It's Lao Bi.

The last time Zhao Yao saw him, he had just finished his sophomore and senior year in high school. He always liked to go to Tianjing Mountain to listen to this big monster talking about human philosophy. When he saw Lao Bi again at this time, he felt as if he had passed away.

At that time, Lao Bi said that Zhao Yao would die. As he expected, Zhao Yao was stabbed by Xie Sheng by the moat that night, and then his body sank into the moat and met Xie Yue's heart lamp.Because of that day, Zhao Yao's life was completely rewritten.

Thinking back now, Lao Bi seemed to be a bit ahead of Pu Xiao, the nine-tailed fox. He could predict Zhao Yao's life and death.No one has ever talked to Zhao Yao about what kind of monster Lao Bi belongs to. It seems that Lao Bi is not worth mentioning to the whole world, and it seems that Lao Bi was imagined by Zhao Yao. No one except Zhao Yao has seen him.

It is sometimes difficult for Zhao Yao to understand the logic of monsters and world phenomena. They all say that Zhu Yan brought the war, but did Zhu Yan cause the war?Or will Zhu Yan appear where the war took place?Just like Lao Bi, Lao Bi said that Zhao Yao would die and Zhao Yao died, is Lao Bi a prophet or a curser?

Zhao Yao turned his head and took a look, and sure enough, it was almost sunset now.

Lao Bi likes to watch the sunset, and only opens his eyes at sunset in a day.

Zhao Yao stopped at the same spot, and then walked to Lao Bi, and sat with him as he did four years ago. He and Lao Bi had talked a lot, and they were not strangers to each other, but Zhao Yao was no longer Then there is the senior high school student who can hold a lollipop in his mouth. He has matured and become a lot more silent.

Zhao Yao is the only human being on the human street. Zhao Yao and a monster like a meat mountain are sitting against the blood-red trunk of the hibiscus tree. The sunset sinks in the corner of the house, like a huge high-wattage light bulb.This place is like a different world after the end of the world, with a sense of beauty in ruins.

Lao Bi asked, "You came to see me?" Probably because Zhao Yao was one of the few friends he could chat with, and he thought Zhao Yao was his bosom friend.

Zhao Yao smiled, he had a hibiscus tree vine under him, he said: "My lover is buried here."

Zhao Yao regards the hibiscus tree as the tomb where Xie Yue is buried.

After the incident, Zhao Yao asked many people, but no one could answer his question, because there is no book that records what price the demon who made the wish paid after making a deal with the hibiscus tree, and no one can say whether it is dead or alive. Not sure.But according to everyone's understanding, Xie Yue should be dead. The hibiscus tree is bloodthirsty, and the things that have been swallowed in the mouth will not be spit out easily.

Four years have passed, and Xie Yue has probably become the nourishment of Fusang.

Lao Bi was silent. He thought for a long time. He knew what a lover meant in a common sense, but it was difficult to understand the specific meaning.

Zhao Yao asked: "Have you figured out that question?"

Lao Bi once asked: People's pain comes from anger at their own incompetence, so what about the pain of demons?

Pain is very common to Zhao Yao. He has experienced pain in hundreds of reincarnations in 1000 years.He sometimes hates his own incompetence. If he works harder, will the world be different?Now he figured it out.

Lao Bi shook his head, human emotions are too complicated for monsters to accept them all.Old Bi asked, "How are you?"

He said: "It's pretty good." He's living a good life, the current life is the wish that Xie Yue gave him to fulfill, he must live a good life.

Xie Yue said, let Zhao Yao live his life well, and he will come back to him.

Lao Bi kept looking down at him, hundreds of eyes looked at Zhao Yao together.Old Bi's eyes are very compassionate, because there are hundreds of eyes, the compassion seems to be magnified hundreds of times, he seems to know what happened to Zhao Yao.

"I'm leaving." Zhao Yao stood up, his pass was only valid for six to ten minutes, and he could only come once a month.If he didn't go out, he would cause trouble for Qi Xiu, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Qi Xiu.

Zhao Yao had already left, and Lao Bi suddenly said, "You will get what you want."

"Huh?" Zhao Yao looked back at him, thinking that Lao Bi was becoming more and more like a magic stick, what he thought might not come true, he didn't dare to expect extravagantly, he was afraid that the last thing would be empty and he couldn't bear it.

"See you by fate." Zhao Yao waved his hand at Lao Bi.

After driving for two hours, I saw the current city of Yicheng. The original city center is now like a suburb. The original suburb is building a new city. Yicheng is under construction every day, digging foundations and building tall buildings. , A large number of residents moved out of the city, and a large number of people came in. A city under construction means more opportunities to make a fortune.Human life is so resilient that we never give up survival no matter what.

Zhao Yao didn't feel a trace of popularity until he entered the city center. He was waiting for the red light at the crossroads. Originally, this was a very boring job.Zhao Yao waited with one hand on the car window, at this moment, he saw a green Jaguar passing by in front of his eyes.

He was stunned for three seconds, stepped on the accelerator, ignored the traffic rules, accelerated suddenly without changing lanes at the red light, and rushed out.

Jaguar is not a very popular brand. The green car that Xie Yue liked was discontinued before the war. Zhao Yao had to drive to and from get off work every day, and he had never seen the same model for so many years.I have never seen such a well-maintained car, especially after he just heard what Lao Bi said, it is hard not to think about it.

The other party is either in a hurry or driving fast, and is familiar with the route, and advances at the highest speed that can be driven on this road.Zhao Yao was almost left behind by him, and the car horns and the driver's curses sounded around him when he changed lanes several times.

He can't control that much, his heart is beating wildly, contracting after a while, so lively and powerful, the shifting hand is shaking all the time.

Finally, the green Jaguar stopped suddenly, followed by Zhao Yao who slammed on the brakes.

They were 300 meters apart. The place where the Jaguar stopped was a high-end residential area. Zhao Yao took a look. This real estate has only been open for a year. It is very private and suitable for rich people to live in.

Like Xie Yue's favorite residence.

The green Jaguar turned off, and the other party opened the door, stretched out a leg first, and the brown leather shoes fell to the ground.

This is a man in a suit.

Zhao Yao held the steering wheel tightly, his face seemed bloodless.

not him.

The person who got out of the car was probably a professional manager, wearing a very ordinary suit, less than 1.8 meters tall, which did not match Xie Yue's 1.9 meters tall man.After he got out of the car, he glanced in the direction of Zhao Yao inexplicably. He probably found that Zhao Yao was following him. He hesitated for a moment, and came to knock on Zhao Yao's window: "Hello?"

Zhao Yao rolled down the car window, causing the man to frown. There was a very young man in the car, with a pretty face, but his face was not very good. He looked like he had seen a ghost. It made people wonder if he saw something terrifying. .

"Do we know each other?" the man asked.

"I don't know." Zhao Yao's voice was a little hoarse, "I mistook the person, sorry."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, Zhao Yao put into reverse gear and prepared to leave this place, leaving the man standing there with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Yao drove aimlessly, and it was too hard for him to even drive, so he pulled over at random.Zhao Yao's hands shaking the steering wheel, how could he think it was such a coincidence, Xie Yue is not the only one who likes this car in the world, and those who can afford that model are of course very likely to live in high-end neighborhoods, he Why do you dare to suspect that Xie Yue is back just based on these two points?

He used to think that he would be happy if life returned to peace, but now that he thinks about it, he has already been changed, and he gave up living a normal life a long time ago.

He regretted it, he often regretted why he made a wish to Xie Yue, and now he wants to modify that wish.

I miss you, Zhao Yao put his head on the steering wheel, can you come back?

·

Zhao Yao left too early and didn't see what happened later.

The man looked at the buttocks of Zhao Yaoyuan's car and felt a little puzzled, but he just froze for a while, and his professional ethics made him act immediately.

They specialize in finding some discontinued cars for their clients, and this car was bought for ten times the original price.In fact, this car does not hold its value that much at all, and it is far less cost-effective than other brands. With this price, you can buy a luxury supercar.But the customer ordered it specially, probably because he really likes this model.

His guests are still waiting for him. It stands to reason that they are private, and the guests should sit at home and wait for them to send the keys upstairs.But as soon as he walked to the gate of the community, he saw the guest standing in the shadow of the gate for an unknown how long, with a chill on his body.He was wearing a black overcoat and a black top hat, like a killer who could pull out a revolver from his overcoat at any time.Very eccentric attire, so people recognize it at a glance.

He kept looking in one direction, and the man looked in the direction of the guests. That was the place where the car that followed him disappeared just now. He didn't know what to see.

"Your key."

"Hmm." The guest hummed casually.

When handing over the key, he took a sneak peek. The line of the man's jaw line was very smooth, and the three-dimensional facial features were like sculptures. He had seen many customers with outstanding looks, so it stands to reason that he would not lose his composure.But today he stopped, wondering if it was his illusion, the other party's eyes seemed to be green.

The author has something to say: See you tomorrow~
