Living body

"...I don't dare to show up casually now. I bought a train ticket to BA. There are many people there. Let's meet on the train, okay..."

Shen Li rubbed his swollen and painful temples, and agreed: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, I'll be there tomorrow."

"it is good."

Putting down the phone, Shen Li rubbed his aching temples.

He is not like Lu Mi who still has a family burden in China. He has almost adapted to the new life these days when BA is alone. He keeps his name incognito and no one can find him. A stable life.

Yes, it seems stable.

Only he himself knows the real uneasiness. Whenever the night is quiet, he will be awakened by Qin Beichen's last gaze when he sinks into the ice lake. That kind of cold calm, without resentment or pain, is like a maggot on the tarsus bone, making people feel uncomfortable. He couldn't get rid of it.

Shen Li kept comforting himself, it was the aftereffect of killing someone for the first time, fear and guilt are normal, no matter what kind of monster, no pulse, no breathing, frozen at the bottom of the lake, it should die completely.

No?

After pouring himself a cup of hot water, Shen Li turned on the computer and booked a train ticket to BA.

Not long ago

Near the polar circle, supply station, ice lake

The supply station was abandoned due to unknown reasons, but the interrupted circuit was instantly connected, as if there had never been a problem. Huge construction vehicles were moving on the ice, and the night was illuminated like day by large outdoor lamps.

The wind, snow and severe cold cannot stop the operation of human machinery at all. A vehicle has already dug an ice cave on the frozen lake. A miniature crane is mounted above the ice cave, and the steel wire on the gallows extends to the depths of the lake.

"Have you found it yet—"

The wind and snow are very heavy. Generally speaking, this kind of weather is not suitable for outdoor work. There are not many people present, and they almost talk by pulling their throats.

"can not see--"

A man in thick winter clothing walked up to the ice cave and looked in. Even though he was illuminated by dozens of thousands of lumens of strong lights, he could only see an undetectable blue in the depths of the lake.

"Wait any longer and the hole will be frozen again—"

The man standing in front of the ice cave did not speak, his face was tightly blocked by the goggles and the raccoon fur strips on his hat.

After a while, the ice cave surface began to form a thin layer of ice.

"I can't wait any longer—"

The man standing at the entrance of the ice cave still didn't move.

Suddenly, a black shadow emerged from the thin layer of ice.

The man broke through the thin ice immediately, and saw the lake tumbling, and a thinly dressed diver emerged.

The man climbed onto the ice, took a sip of strong wine to warm up, wrapped himself in a blanket, and said while shivering, "No...others...none..."

I just don't know if he said that no one else has found it, or that everyone else has disappeared.

"If the storm passes—"

The man guarding outside the ice cave hesitated for a while, then suddenly said to the people behind him, "Put the 'bait'."

After a while, a small cargo snowmobile drove over, stopped in front of the ice cave and began to dump the cargo compartment. As the cabin opened, a large amount of red liquid mixed with debris was poured into the ice cave.

The truck looked small, but the capacity of the cargo compartment was astonishing. It took a while for the dump to end, and the last stump, which was soaked white, rolled twice on the metal floor and fell into the water.

Under the illumination of outdoor lights, the originally icy blue lake water turned a shocking dark red, and the faintly visible fragments slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Call two more people down—"

The diver who had just climbed out of the ice cave immediately threw down the blanket and flagon, and jumped down the ice cave with two other people. No one hesitated during the whole process.

The man in the winter suit waited quietly outside the ice cave, almost exceeding the maximum time the oxygen supply could support.

Suddenly, the steel cables of the crane moved.

"Close the net—"

In the wind and snow, the sound of the noose running was barely audible, but all the people present silently counted the number of times the noose ran, and their eyes were fixed on the lake that was about to freeze again.

A fuzzy black figure slowly appeared under the thin ice layer, gradually became larger and clearer, until it broke through the ice layer, and was finally hoisted up by the crane with a "crash".

"found it--"

A cheer.

A body that was frozen into blue-white by the lake water was suspended in the air like a death knell, shaking slightly, and no one cared about those divers who did not come back.

"Put it down, be careful—"

The frozen corpse was safely placed in a metal container. Before sealing the cover, the man in winter clothes glanced at the face that seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "It's just a corpse... ..."

Before the words fell, the man who was supposed to be just a corpse suddenly opened his eyes.

RA is a big industrial and agricultural country, and the railway has become an important hub.It was afternoon when Shen Li arrived at the train station, which was supposed to be the busiest time, but for some reason there was no one at the station, and he searched for a long time before finding the train that Lu Mi mentioned.

Before getting on the train, he stood on the platform and looked around. Passengers and workers were doing their own things in an orderly manner. Everything seemed peaceful, except for the wires next to the railway.

Shen Li stretched out his hand to feel it.

For some reason, there was no strong wind, but the hanging wires shook violently.

"The departure time is up, all passengers please get on the bus quickly."

Shen Li took a last look at those wires and stepped onto the train.

There were quite a few people in the carriage, and the carriage where Lu Mi had agreed to meet was still at the back, and Shen Li walked slowly through the crowd.

"Excuse me……"

A girl who is planning to go to BA to participate in a beauty contest is doing her makeup in the mirror.

"Excuse me……"

A toddler is being scolded by his mother for dropping a pie in his hand.

"Please let me go..."

A big man who was drunk last night lay on a stool for seven hours and didn't wake up.

Shen Li walked past these people, not knowing that he would soon become the decider of their fate.

There were almost no people in the VIP box area, and Shen Li stopped in front of one of them, and knocked on the door panel with his hand.

Two seconds later, the door seemed to be pulled open, and Lu Mi stood inside, looking at Shen Li with a panicked expression:

"Shen Li, I'm sorry..."

Shen Li was puzzled for a moment, and was trying to find out what was going on, when the door of the box was slowly pushed open, and the man standing behind Lu Mi was completely revealed——

Shen Li's complexion suddenly changed, and he turned and fled away almost the moment he saw the other party.

However, his movements were still too slow, and before he took the first step, the man behind had already grabbed his arm.Hearing only the crisp sound of "Kala", Shen Li knelt down on one knee with a cry of pain, completely losing the chance to escape.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

A voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell, intimately and coldly pressed against Shen Li's ears.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, it's cold, the update will be slower
