Urban Night Returner

Chapter 77 The end of the cold war

Although Zhong Leyang is a super big light bulb, the light bulb also has the benefits of a light bulb, for example, it can bring light when it is dark.But now, without this super big light bulb, Shen Gu suddenly realized that when he and Zhong Lecen fell into a cold war, no one could come out to ease the atmosphere.

In fact, it is not so cold if it is called the Cold War, and life is still the same. Zhong Lecen neither went on strike nor cooked, nor did he draw a clear line and move out. Even when Shen Gu talked to him, he answered the same, but his face There was no smile at all, and Shen Gu felt uncomfortable when he saw it.But he couldn't think of any way for a while—comforting people is not his strong point.So at night, he had to spread the quilt on the sofa.

Zhong Lecen came out after washing, and saw Shen Gu spreading the quilt on the sofa, feeling suddenly unhappy.He never said to let Shen Gu move out of the bedroom, Shen Gu moved out by himself.Filled with unhappiness, he kicked the bedroom door shut, opened the window, and breathed heavily into the cold air pouring in.

Shen Gu's heart tightened with the loud knock of the door.It's kind of—what's going on?He quickly reviewed all his actions today, and found nothing that would make Zhong Lecen angry, so he lay down and fell asleep full of doubts and worries.

After sleeping until midnight, Shen Gu woke up.The room was very quiet. He heard Zhong Lecen coughing in the back room, so he turned over, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open a crack: "Lecen?"

Zhong Lecen was stuffed under the quilt and piled up in a pile on the bed. After a long time, he said stuffyly, "I want to drink water."

The water heater was turned off, but Shen Gu turned it on again, and stood with a cup for seven or eight minutes, pouring a cup of hot water.Zhong Lecen took a sip, holding the cup in a daze.Shen Gu looked at him worriedly: "Uncomfortable?"

"I am cold."

Shen Gu touched his forehead, and it was indeed a little hot: "You have a little fever."

Zhong Lecen remained silent, Shen Gu pulled the quilt up to cover him: "Drink more water."

It's okay if you don't say anything, but when you say it, Zhong Lecen directly stuffed the cup back to him, turned over and lay down: "I won't drink."

Shen Gu had no choice but to sit down by the bed: "How about a drink? Sweat, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

Zhong Lecen was silent for a long time, and kicked him through the quilt: "I said I was cold, I don't understand!"

Of course, Shen Gu is not a fool, but the so-called caring will lead to chaos, and he also said that "the authorities are obsessed", and since he came out of Sanshengquan, he has inevitably felt a little guilty, so his mind is a little messed up.But it was only for a moment that a wise man was confused, Zhong Lecen kicked him up, and he understood it. Just in case, he lowered his head and asked again: "Shall I move back? One more person to be warmer."

The latter sentence was actually nonsense, Zhong Lecen pulled off the quilt to reveal his head and gave him a hard look: "Whatever."

Casually means, that is, you can.Shen Gu didn't even move the quilt and pillow, and went directly into Zhong Lecen's bed, and hugged him.Zhong Lecen's hands and feet were indeed cold, Shen Gu wrapped him in his arms, and then held his with his own: "Is it better?"

It took Zhong Lecen a long time to say softly: "You have never been so kind to me before."

Shen Gu knew when the "before" was talking about, so he laughed and said with a grievance better than Dou E: "Can we not talk about the past?"

Zhong Lecen exhaled softly: "Yes, it's all in the past. It's been so long that you don't remember it, but I still remember it."

Shen Gu thought that the situation would not be good if the topic continued like this, so he bowed his head decisively and gave a deep kiss: "Can you drink some water? Otherwise, if it gets serious tomorrow, you will have to take medicine. The medicine is [-]% poisonous and not good for your health." .”

Of course, these words are all nonsense, but it depends on whose mouth it comes from.Zhong Lecen nodded, Shen Gu took the cup, wrapped him in the quilt first, and then brought the cup to his mouth.After drinking the water, neither of them felt sleepy.Zhong Lecen looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said softly: "Have you ever asked Captain Zuo about the thing Xiao Nan encountered..."

Shen Gu hugged him, and touched his pajamas with his hands.In fact, he really slept on the sofa for half a night at most, but now that he is holding someone in his arms, it seems that they have been separated for a long time, and he really doesn't want to waste time talking about Xiao Nan.But since Zhong Lecen wanted to say it, he had no choice but to say it: "I asked, but Zuo Jian couldn't think of any monsters with triplets, or is it a vixen?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head, and put the cold soles of his feet on Shen Gu's legs: "A vixen has a smell."

"What smell? Body odor?"

"It's only emitted by low-level fox spirits. Those who practice more deeply will have a fragrance."

"Smell?" Shen Gu imagined the smell and found it inconceivable, "How could it be a scent?"

"Do you know civet incense? It is a precious spice, but if you smell the civet scent just taken from a civet... it will stink to death."

"I heard that ambergris is the indigestible food in the stomach of sperm whales?"

"A real dragon would be pissed off. It's just a name borrowed by people to sell spices. But this shows that the spices extracted from wild animals may not smell very good."

"Oh, so I can understand that body odor will turn into fragrance."

Zhong Lecen laughed softly, and the laughter was especially pleasant in the quiet night.Shen Gu hugged him tighter: "I finally saw you smiling again."

"You really can't remember?"

Shen Gu replied honestly: "I really can't remember, except for the sudden severe chest pain."

Zhong Lecen reached out and touched the birthmark on his chest: "It turns out that I feel very unwilling, why can't you remember anything?"

Shen Gu held his hand helplessly: "What about now?"

"Now I think it's good if you don't remember it, at least you still remember this sword, that's enough."

Just as Shen Gu breathed a sigh of relief, he heard another sentence from the person in his arms: "But I said in my previous life that I don't want to see you anymore."

Shen Gu lowered his head and grinded his teeth on his earlobe: "How dare you!"

Zhong Lecen poked him: "You are still as domineering as before."

Shen Gu thought it over, and he will bear the blame for the rest of his life: "I'm afraid you will run away, so I have to be more domineering."

Zhong Lecen laughed again, and put his ear on his chest to listen to his heartbeat: "Who told you to move to the sofa to sleep?"

Shen Gu has now realized his mistake: "Isn't that momentary confusion?"

"Humph!"

"I was wrong." Shen Gu quickly bowed his head and confessed, "Don't toss about, lift the quilt and be careful not to catch a cold."

Zhong Lecen yawned, and found a more comfortable position on his shoulder: "It's okay, it's not cold now."

Listening to his breathing, Shen Gu suddenly remembered something: "Le Cen——"

"Well?"

"I seem to really smell a bad smell in Xiao Nan's house."

Zhong Lecen opened his eyes all of a sudden: "What's the smell?"

"It's hard to distinguish, and it was already very weak when we left, and it was mixed with the incense from his home. It's hard for me to tell clearly. If I have to say...it's like the smell of a rotting corpse."

"The smell of rotting corpses?"

"It can only be said that it is a bit similar, because I can't tell the difference very clearly."

Zhong Lecen frowned: "The corpse...is it really a ghost? No, every part of Xiao's house is clean, and there is no handprint on Xiao Nan's body, so it can't be a ghost..."

"Forget it." Shen Gu regretted bringing up this topic, "I'll think about it tomorrow if I have anything to do. You should rest well now and go to bed first. Isn't there that sticky talisman? Wait until Xiao Nan sees those things again."

But sticking the talisman didn't work as expected, because a day later, Shen Gu received a call from Xiao Nan, happily saying that Zhong Tianshi's talisman really worked, and those three things never appeared again.

"It's strange..." Zhong Lecen was puzzled, "That's obviously a magic touch charm, not a ghost exorcism charm, how could it have that effect?"

Shen Gu shrugged: "Xiao Nan said that he has recovered in the past two days, thank you."

"Strange..." Zhong Lecen was puzzled, "What's going on?"

"You don't care about him." Shen Gu pushed the porridge bowl in front of his eyes, "Hurry up and eat. What did you have for lunch? Didn't you get together? I have to ask Xiao Lai later. Even if Xiao Nan is lucky, don't if it's okay. Leave him alone."

"I've had a good lunch. But those three spirits--let's call them that--could do some harm."

"It's not that you can't solve the problem if you don't eat. We can go to Xiao Nan's house later, but you want to eat now. Eat quickly!"

Zhong Lecen muttered: "Despotism."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Gu gritted his teeth and asked.Ever since he came back from Sanshengquan, his life has been difficult, so can he be said to be autocratic?It seems that I really have to owe it for a lifetime.

Zhong Lecen rolled his eyes at him without any fear.Shen Gu sighed helplessly: "Now I feel that you and that kid Le Yang are brothers, and the movements of rolling your eyes to see people are exactly the same."

Zhong Lecen was about to speak when Shen Gu's cell phone rang, and Zuo Jian's voice was urgent: "Come here immediately, No. 15 Hangzhou Road, immediately!"

Shen Gu immediately took a taxi and rushed there. A new building was under construction on Hangzhou Road, and it was almost seven o'clock and the lights were brightly lit.From a distance, Shen Gu saw a group of people surrounding the construction site. Shen Gu squinted his eyes and looked over. There was a person sitting on a high tower crane with his legs hanging out of the boom.

"Another person asking for money for climbing a tower crane." The driver seemed to be used to it, and waited idly for Shen Gu to take out the money. In [-], people were in arrears of wages, forcing people to look for their own lives, and they had to make a big fuss to squeeze out the money, alas! This is the first time this year, and it is almost becoming a routine."

Shen Gu felt wrong.There have indeed been several incidents of climbing tower cranes to ask for wages this year. In fact, most people don’t want to die. They just want to make things big and alarm the reporters. It has become a custom.But if this is the case, why did Zuo Jian call himself here in such a hurry?

Zuo Jian was at the outermost part of the crowd, and as soon as he saw Shen Gu, he pulled him into the corner: "Look at the top."

"The guy up there?"

"No!" Zuo Jian pulled him to change the angle, "Look carefully, what can you see behind that man?"

Shen Gu squinted his eyes and looked as far as he could. The tower crane was about 100 meters above the ground. This distance was not difficult for him, but he tried his best to look over, but he didn't see anything behind the person sitting on the tower crane. .

"I don't see anything."

"Look carefully!" Zuo Jian's head was sweating.

The people on the tower crane began to shake back and forth, as if they wanted to jump off, causing the people below to scream, and the police who came to dissuade them shouted desperately with a loudspeaker.Shen Gu stared at the man, suddenly, when the man was shaking his body, he felt as if there was a faint gray shadow sticking behind the man, sticking to him like a piece of paper, sticking to him all actions.Because behind it is the dark blue night sky, and there are countless lights flickering in the distance, it is difficult to find.It's just that the person's movement just now became bigger because of a gust of wind, and the gray shadow didn't seem to keep up, so he saw a trace: "Is there a shadow?"

Zuo Jian slapped him on the shoulder: "Yes! You saw it too?"

Shen Gu squinted his eyes: "It's very faint, almost sticking to that person's body, but now it's invisible again."

Zuo Jian's expression was solemn: "Yes, it's almost close to each other. I also discovered it by accident. Can you hit it?"

Shen Gu was surprised: "Is the bullet useful?"

Zuo Jian took out a bullet: "Ordinary bullets are useless, this is a special one. But it has to be shot in the head, otherwise I'm afraid that thing will go crazy and push people down!"

Shen Gu estimated the distance and angle: "You said that shadow was manipulating that person?"

"Yes. Those who climbed the tower crane were all asking for wages. They didn't really want to die, but the oil and salt on the top didn't get in. No matter how we shouted, we didn't respond. Look at his expression, he looks like a log, he is obviously being manipulated."

Shen Gu took the sniper rifle and put the special bullet into the magazine.From the scope, he could clearly see the person sitting on the boom, with a blank expression as expected, only his eyes moved occasionally, indicating that he was still a living person.Shen Gu looked for that shadow.At such a distance, if the person hiding behind that person was a person, Shen Gu would be 100% sure to shoot him in the head, but now it is not a person, but a shadow clinging to the person, so faint that it is almost invisible.

The person on the tower crane suddenly moved, and Shen Gu saw his facial muscles twitch, which gave him a little vitality for a moment, and a gray thing flashed behind his neck.Shen Gu's fingers tightened, and then stopped again - the man's expression returned to the color of wood, and the gray thing quickly stuck to him again, without any gap.

"He is resisting." Shen Gu said calmly with the cold sniper rifle on his cheek, "Only when he is resisting will his shadow show a little. Does he have any relatives here? Let them shout or find a way to get closer. The firmer a person's will to survive, the greater my confidence in hitting."

Zuo Jian nodded: "His wife is here, I'll ask his wife to speak to him."

Shen Gu moved his body a little and aimed again.Under the tower crane, a woman began to scream.But Shen Gu didn't hear it.At this moment, all the surrounding noises have been blocked out by his ears, and now only a small piece of his world is left in the scope.

The eyeballs of the man on the tower crane rolled, and his head jerked forward. At this moment, a little gray thing appeared behind his head, like half of the back of his head. The outline was very vague. It is clean and there is no cloud today, so I really can't see clearly.At this moment, Shen Gu pulled the trigger.The butt of the sniper rifle touched his shoulder lightly. The special bullet tore through the air and hit the exposed half of the back of the head. Almost silently, a cloud of pale golden light exploded in the night. The person on the tower crane shook for a while, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and shouted hoarsely: "Help!"

Shen Gu put down the gun slowly and let out a light breath.The expression of the people on the tower crane has changed from numb to terrified, and finally the expression of a normal person.He only glanced down, then closed his eyes and yelled, clutching the steel arms under him with both hands, trembling and trying to crawl back.The policeman with a loudspeaker shouted loudly: "Don't move, someone will go up to pick you up!" Some policemen had already begun to climb up, but at this time a strong wind blew in, and the man slipped and his whole body was shaken. Slid off the boom, only two hands were holding on.There was an exclamation from below, he was dangling in mid-air, kicking his feet in vain.

Shen Gu's pupils shrank suddenly, because he seemed to see another shadow at the moment the man fell, and suddenly put the gun on his shoulder again, but just as he locked the target with the scope, the man suddenly turned his face to his The direction turned around, his mouth opened wide until the corners of his mouth cracked to reveal red flesh, and then he let go of his hand, falling freely amidst exclamations and screams, with the unhuman face still on his face. smile.When he glanced over the scope, Shen Gu clearly saw a gray shadow lying on his back, also raised his head.At this time, they had fallen halfway, and there were countless lights behind them, which clearly set off the shadows.Although the shadow has no face, Shen Gu knows it is smiling.He instinctively pulled the trigger, but ordinary bullets passed through the gray like air, and had no effect at all.Shen Gu put down the gun, and the falling human body bounced up on the inflatable cushion, and finally fell heavily to the ground.The distance was too high and the inflatable mattress didn't save his life.Shen Gu didn't need to look closely to know that the man was dead.

Zuo Jian ran over with a livid face: "There is one more—"

Shen Gu nodded: "I saw it. It knew I fired it. It was provocative."

Zuo Jian slammed his fist on the safety rail next to him: "Damn it! Where did the ghost come out! Go and check! If I can't find out, my surname is not Zuo!"
