Played by the devil in the palm of his hand

Xu Chi returned to the study before Jun Ye came back.As soon as he opened the biology book and turned to the page in his memory, he heard a very slight knock on the door outside.

Startled, Xu Chi quickly put the ID card into the book and put it back where it was.He stabilized his mind and walked out of the study.

The knock on the door came from the corridor, so it was very low in the study. Xu Chi took a deep breath, walked over and opened the door a crack.A male servant stood outside and said respectfully, "Mr. Xu Chi, the master invites you to have dinner together."

Xu Chi pressed his sore forehead irritably, and said perfunctorily, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't eat."

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, he quickly closed the door.

There was no light in the huge bedroom, only a little light came from the study in the distance.Xu Chi looked at the dim room, sat on the floor with his back against the door, hugged his head anxiously, and closed his eyes.

Up to this point, he has done everything he can, and the rest is up to God.

……

Jun Ye was busy until very late and didn't come back. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he found that he couldn't see his fingers inside, the curtains were tightly closed, and he didn't even turn on a sleep light.

However, his night vision ability is very strong, and the darkness will not affect him.Jun Ye walked lightly to the bed, lifted the thin curtain, and saw that Xu Chi was already asleep.

He was wrapped in a quilt, huddled in the innermost part of the bed, facing the wall and his back.

Although he couldn't see his face, Jun Ye guessed that he was pretending to sleep.If Xu Chi was really asleep, it would be impossible for him to be so neatly covered with a quilt and pillow.

Jun Ye shook his head and smiled, not exposing his little trick.He put down the bed curtain lightly and walked into the study.

The study room was also pitch black. Jun Ye turned on the light and walked to the bookcase. He wanted to read the book he hadn't finished a few days before going to bed.His slender fingers took out the book about paleontological fossils, and opened the page he had seen before.

Jun Ye has basically seen the fossils recorded in this book. After all, he was born with the world.But now most of them are extinct, and only a few, such as the strange beasts like Xiao Hei, still exist in remote areas where no one lives.

Jun Ye's fingers touched the ID card and wanted to take it out, but suddenly his hand paused and found something strange.If he remembered correctly, when he used the card as a bookmark, the numbered side was facing up, and now the rosette is facing up-someone touched it?

Jun Ye lowered his eyes, and his slender eyelashes cast a small light shadow on his cheeks. Some unpredictable emotions flashed in his blue and deep eyes, like an unknown huge creature swimming in the dark deep sea .

After a while, Jun Ye put the book back to its original place, walked to the desk, glanced at the photo on it, and then picked up the intercom.

Xu Chi didn't sleep all night, and listened to the movement in the study room with great vigilance, but Jun Ye didn't come out of the study room until the sun rose in the east and the morning light shone through the curtains into the room.

Xu Chi simply took advantage of his absence, got up from the bed, washed in a hurry, changed his clothes and left the bedroom.

He tries to avoid meeting Jun Ye now, one is that he can't control his temper, and the other is that Jun Ye's ability to observe words and emotions is too powerful, sometimes just a few seconds of eye contact can see through the secrets deep in his heart.

Xu Chi was instinctively afraid of this kind of power, and had no choice but to try his best to avoid it.

He waited anxiously for Chen Lin's reply, the time became very long for him, especially when he was with Jun Ye, every second was infinitely lengthened, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and his days felt like years.

In this kind of pain, one day passed, two days passed, and finally on the third day, Xu Chi couldn't hold back any longer and secretly went to the hospital to find a white coat.

However, what awaited him was a locked door.

Xu Chi was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously grasped the doorknob, twisted it a few times, but still couldn't open it.

A bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart, Xu Chi looked to both sides, and seeing no one was passing by, he took out his access control card from his pocket, and inserted the thin card through the crack next to the door lock , with a clever method to get the latch.

With a creak, the door opened. Xu Chi pushed it open vigilantly, and quickly glanced inside. The huge office in between was empty and eerily quiet.

Xu Chi frowned uncomfortably, he didn't know if the white coat had defected and escaped temporarily, or... something happened.

If it is the latter, the consequences will be disastrous.

Just as Xu Chi was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then someone patted him on the shoulder. Like a frightened bird, Xu Chi turned around abruptly, almost reaching for his knife.

Chris took a step back in fright, and quickly waved his hands, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, brother Xu Chi, I'm your little brother!"

"..." Xu Chi's tense body relaxed, and he glanced at him suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to look for you. I heard that you're going this way, so I'm here to look for you."

"Find me?"

"That's right." Chris hugged Xu Chi's arm with a smile, and led him to the stairs, "Master told you to come over, let's go."

As soon as the words fell, Chris felt that Xu Chi's footsteps stopped, his body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and he became stiff instantly. He looked up at Xu Chi strangely, and seeing his pale face, he wondered: "What's the matter?" ?”

Xu Chi's fingertips were trembling slightly, and his heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his throat.Survival instinct told him to push Chris away now, to get out of here immediately, but it was undoubtedly self-inflicted.

He gritted his teeth tightly, and managed to suppress the panic, but his voice was still unsteady, "...He is looking for me? What's the matter?"

Chris rubbed his chin and shook his head, "I don't know, but the master told you to go over, so hurry up, you will be scolded if you are late."

Xu Chi only felt that his throat was dry, and he managed to squeeze out a few hoarse and pale words, "Okay..."

Chris tilted his head and looked at him, "Brother Xu Chi, I feel that something is wrong with you, are you feeling unwell, suffering from heatstroke?"

He took out a small water glass from his shoulder bag, unscrewed the lid and handed it to him, "Do you want some water?"

Xu Chi's froze eyes fell on the sky blue water glass, and he subconsciously took a sip.After drinking the water, I managed to calm down a little, and said, "Let's go."

The two walked out of the hospital together, and Chris took him to a remote building.

This two-story building was built in a dark corner of the manor, covered by layers of trees, and the gardener would not take care of it. Wild vines were entwined on the branches and hung down like curtains, making it almost impossible to see the sun. The ground is overgrown with weeds, and only a narrow path leads there.

The atmosphere was gloomy and cold enough. Although it was midsummer, Xu Chi felt chills on his back and his hairs stood on end.

Chris didn't seem to be aware of the gloom here. He hummed an unknown tune, his lips curled up, his eyes sparkled, and he walked side by side with Xu Chi at ease, walking along the dark path to the open space in front of the small building.

He pointed to the upper floor and said, "It's on the second floor. I won't go up until the owner calls me. You can go. We'll have dinner together tonight."

"No, wait..." Xu Chi reached out his hand to grab the straw, but Chris had already turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Xu Chi stared at his back in a daze, and stood there for half a minute, then slowly turned around and looked up at the small building.

The bad premonition became stronger and stronger, to the point of panic. Finally, he simply pulled out the dagger, held it behind his back with his backhand, and walked lightly, like a wild cat preying, silently walked into the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt that the building was not right, it was too cold, the sunlight could not shine in at all, and it needed incandescent lamps to illuminate it in broad daylight.And the walls are very thick, it seems to have enough soundproofing effect.

Xu Chi walked silently to the second floor, the incandescent lamps buzzed, responding to his slight footsteps, and the surrounding became more and more silent.

As soon as he reached the dark second floor, Xu Chi frowned. It seemed that although the building was soundproof enough, it couldn't stop the smell from escaping.The bloody smell he was extremely familiar with seeped out from the cracks in the wall, lingering around his hair and face like the hand of death.

Xu Chi swallowed nervously, and walked towards the room with the strongest smell of blood.

The metal door was nailed with reinforced silver rivets, which looked very bulky. He stretched out his hand and pushed open the concealed door. There were many lights inside, which were so bright that it almost hurt Xu Chi's eyes.

He squinted his eyes to adjust himself to the light before opening the door fully.Immediately afterwards, his body froze, his fingers could not help but let go, and the dagger fell to the ground with a bang.

The room was not big, but it was very spacious. Xu Chi saw glaring blood all over the floor, and there was a human-shaped thing lying in the pool of blood, but his whole body was bright red, and all his soft muscles were exposed to the air. , It's like... being skinned alive with a knife!

Is this hell?

Xu Chi took a step back, his eyes widened in disbelief, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, shrouded in the fear of darkness.

The man on the ground was still alive, his body was wriggling, his limbs were twitching, and there was a muffled panting sound from his chest, like a bellows that was about to die.His eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling—in fact, he couldn't close them, because he had no eyelids.

And Lingya stood quietly beside this mass of flesh and blood, with peaceful eyes, his hands naturally hanging by his sides, holding a delicate scalpel in his right hand, the blade and his white gloves were all dyed red.

There were several blood-stained clothes thrown at his feet, among which the white coat was particularly conspicuous.

"Hmm..." Xu Chi's legs were weak, and he barely supported the door frame, so he didn't collapse on the ground.His body was trembling, his stomach was churning, he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit anything, he could barely keep up with his breathing, his chest heaved violently, his face lost all blood, and was as pale as paper.

Xu Chi's gaze turned stiffly, and he saw that there was a third person in the room.

Jun Ye sat on the black sofa not far away, smiled at him, and called him softly, "Come here, baby, I have something to ask you."
