Played by the devil in the palm of his hand

"Anna said that she will come this Friday, and then pack up the storage room for her to live in." Xu Chi walked on the road, touched his chin and thought, "No, let's find her a hotel, she is a girl and It's too inconvenient for two men to live together, even though they only stay for a week."

Holding a shopping bag in one hand, the boy obediently walked beside Xu Chi.

They just came out of the supermarket, bought ingredients for dinner, and are now walking home, chatting about each other.

The boy seldom initiates a topic. He seems to like to keep quiet. With his blue eyes lowered, he listens intently to Xu Chi's speech.Although the other party was mostly talking about some unnutritious things, such as the feral cats in heat downstairs last night made him unable to sleep, or his model gun was rusted because it hadn't been maintained for too long.

When passing the corner of the street, the boy suddenly said softly: "Someone is following us."

"Ah?" Xu Chi paused for no reason, and the long-term training experience later made him not stop, but continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, but his voice was low, "Is someone following you?"

He concentrated and felt for a while, but he didn't feel that there was anyone behind him, and he looked behind with the help of the reflection of the glass window of the neighbor's house, and there was no place to hide.

Xu Chi trusted his own feelings. After all, he had spent two years in a war-torn area, and his sensitivity to killing intent and malice had reached the point of perfection.

So when he didn't feel anyone, he immediately concluded that the boy was joking, or said it casually. He patted the boy's head and said casually: "Okay, don't be suspicious, I'm going to go down soon!" It's raining, hurry home."

The boy looked at him hesitantly, but finally said nothing, and walked towards the apartment with him.

……

At 07:30 in the morning, Xu Chi opened his eyes on the bed in his bedroom.It was probably a dream when I was about to wake up, so the fragments in the dream were very clear.He closed his eyes and let his brain quickly escape from the deep sleep state.

Xu Chi didn't quite understand why he had this dream. The part in the dream was very short, just a few simple conversations without any useful information.

Xu Chi stared blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds, and suddenly realized something extraordinary.

The scene in the dream was actually a very important time node, because all his memories about the boy ended here, as if a movie hadn’t ended yet, and END was displayed on the big screen, from this point onwards , There is no shadow of the boy around.

Did he leave at this time?And why?

Xu Chi felt a little headache and his throat was dry. He sat up and reached for the kettle by the bed. When he picked it up, it felt very light in his hand. After shaking it, it turned out that it was empty.

By the way, after he had a big fight with Jun Ye yesterday, he left the rooftop without looking back. After returning to the apartment, because of mental exhaustion, he just fell asleep and didn't care whether the kettle on the bedside table was empty or full. .

Xu Chi sighed, grabbed his messy black hair, stepped on his slippers listlessly, and went to the kitchen to pour water.

I was drinking water slowly, when I suddenly heard some commotion outside the window, I opened the window and looked down, I saw a man standing downstairs, gesticulating with a passerby in a hurry, very anxious Say something in English.

"Excuse me, what is this place? Are you Chinese? Why are you wearing a mask? I don't understand Chinese, and I don't know why I woke up here. There is no signal on my mobile phone. You can take me to your embassy... Uh, so can the police station, I need help."

Xu Chi took a closer look. It was a rather tall and strong western man. From this angle, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could see a dazzling short reddish-brown hair...? !

Xu Chi spit out a mouthful of water and coughed from choking.

Jason felt it, and raised his head in doubt, "Is it raining?"

Then the two looked at each other, Jason was more surprised than him, and said loudly: "Ahh! Xu Chi!"

Xu Chi really didn't expect that the new member Jun Ye mentioned would be Jason. As for the reason, he could use his toes to figure out what kind of inexplicable jealousy the devil was eating. He was really going to have enough of this kind of jealousy.

Xu Chi gestured to him to wait there, returned to the bedroom, quickly changed out of his pajamas, put on casual clothes, and went out with the key.

His adopted puppy, Landmine, jumped out of the kennel and followed him downstairs wagging his tail.

When Xu arrived downstairs, Jason was bending over to study the mask on a little boy's face. The little boy looked very aggrieved, as if he was going to cry and find his mother in the next second.

Xu Chi coughed lightly and called his name.

Jason turned his head when he heard the sound, with a look of surprise on his face, "Xu Chi, it's really you, I didn't even dare to recognize it just now."

He looked around with disbelief on his face, "Where is this place? I swear I was sleeping at my own home last night. When I woke up, I was on the street. Look at the pajamas I'm still wearing."

Jason looked up and saw the Chinese billboard on the top of his head, "So, this is China? My God, it's like a movie. You are here too. Could it be that someone deliberately gathered us here, and in order to survive, we must go through Cruel test?"

Xu Chi: "..." Hurry up and hand over your script.

Jason waved his hands again and laughed, "I'm just kidding, it's not the Hunger Games, which show's trick is this? Let me see where the camera is?"

Xu Chi said with difficulty: "Actually... your guess is almost inseparable, quite accurate."

Jason was taken aback, "Huh?"

"Just like what you said." Xu Chi warned him earnestly, "In order to survive, you must pass the test. In other words, if you clear the game, you will die if you lose. It is true."

Jason opened his mouth slightly, and asked in surprise, "What?"

Xu Chi briefly told him what happened during this period. Every time he said a word, Jason's mouth opened wide. When he finished speaking, Jason's mouth could almost be stuffed with a duck egg.

"Wait, wait, if what you said is true." Jason pointed to the stone bricks on the ground, to the pedestrians on the side of the road, to the buildings and green belts, "These are all fake, copy from?"

Xu Chi nodded, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, if you hadn't met me in the hospital, you wouldn't have been involved."

"Oh, it's okay. I think it's quite exciting. It's a rare adventure. It's rude to bring me here without saying hello. At least let me change into a cool dress."

Xu Chi thought that he hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter, so he emphasized, "This is not a joke, you will really die!"

"I know I know, but for me, a boring life is almost the same as death."

Jason raised a finger and said clearly, "I'm an adventurist. I used to have fun in boxing matches, but now I'm retired to be a coach. I'm so boring. I was going to explore the tropical rainforest."

Then Jason said pretendingly like a troubadour: "Life, it really has to end with a bang."

Xu Chi was speechless for a while, it's rare to see such a person who lives his life completely like a movie.

However, Jason's enthusiasm still affected him, and he felt a little better-these 'old players' who were tortured to the point of physical and mental exhaustion, could be more or less illuminated by the sun-like 'newcomers'.

Jason touched his chin, "I thought that man was not simple at the time, but I didn't expect it to be so—so not simple. By the way, didn't you say that there will be two people? Who is the other?"

Xu Chi looked over along the main road, "I don't know, I guess I've already arrived. It just so happens that the opposite is a commercial street. Go get some clothes and change, and find another person along the way."

Jason had no objection to this, and walked across the road side by side with Xu Chi.

This time is the rush hour for work and school, not to mention the main road, the commercial street is full of traffic, and the breakfast stalls on the roadside exude an attractive fragrance.

Xu Chi and Jason each held a pancake, ate it as they walked, and walked slowly through the clothing store.

Xu Chi seldom shopped for clothes. After all, he was a big man, and he didn't have much time to dress himself up. He basically just bought them when he entered the store, and left when he was done. And occasionally, if there were clothes that looked comfortable and good-looking, he would buy a few directly. Change clothes.Later, after online shopping developed, he simply bought online.

"I advise you to wear a set of clothes that are easy to move around." Xu Chi held the black sportswear on the hanger, looked at the dark red tight-fitting waist shirt in Jason's hands, and said bluntly, "You can't do that, too It's crazy."

"Ah, okay." Jason regretfully put down his favorite Xiaohong, took the sports jacket and sweatshirt recommended by Xu Chi, and entered the fitting room.

Landmine had a great time chasing his tail around on the steps in front of the store.

Xu Chi glanced at it from the corner of his eye, to prevent his dog from being taken away by the dog dealer, and listened to the movement in the fitting room, lest something unexpected happen to Jason where he could not see it.

A few seconds later, Jason called him from inside, "Xu Chi, can you get me a large T-shirt? This one is a little tight."

Xu Chi snorted, took the clothes and handed them in for him.

The moment his back was turned to the door, he suddenly heard a scream of a puppy whining from behind.

Xu Chi turned his head immediately, just in time to see a green-haired boy kicking the landmine two meters away, cursing, "Where is that dirt dog, get away!"

The boy looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with exaggerated green hair, at least three studs on his ears, and a motorcycle jacket with laser light, looking as if he had just finished dancing.

Landmine was terrified, with its tail between its legs, its ears turned back, and whimpered to find Xu Chi, and then it would have to pass by the boy.

The boy refused to budge and wanted to kick him. Xu Chi was so angry that he quickly stepped forward, grabbed his collar and threw him out, angrily saying, "Where did you come from, you little bastard? It depends on the owner to know what it means to beat a dog." ?!"

The boy was thrown into the Buick next to him, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't recover for a while.

Xu Chi looked down at the mine and saw that it was fine, so he used his foot to pull it into the clothing store, "Go in."

The boy finally regained his composure, rushed over with furious eyebrows, pointed at Xu Chi and yelled, "Do you fucking know who I am? If you dare to hit me, believe it or not, I will make it difficult for you to get along here!"

Xu Chi looked at him coldly. The coat that was a few thousand bigger on his upper body, the pants that were a few thousand bigger on his lower body, and the famous shoes that were a few thousand bigger on his feet.

It seems that this is the second member, and he is another troublesome person, completely incomparable with Jason.Xu Chi flexed his wrist, and said with a sneer, "Okay, let me see how this young master plans to keep me from getting along."
