Urban Oddities: The Seven-Day Cycle

Yang Xiaoji was woken up by the phone call.

He picked up the phone, didn't even look at it, hung up in a daze, the phone was silent, Yang Xiaoji fell asleep, and within a few minutes, the phone rang again, Yang Xiaoji opened his eyelids, Seeing Yan Shi displayed on the screen, I wondered why Yan Da was calling in the middle of the night?Yang Xiaoji connected, and said vaguely, "Hello? Yan Da?"

Heavy breathing sounded from the other end of the phone, and Yan Shi faltered and said: "Xiaoji...I have something to tell you..."

Yang Xiaoji was half asleep and half awake: "Oh...what's the matter?"

"Every day...every day it...it's gone..."

Yang Xiaoji didn't understand: "It's gone? What's gone?"

"Tiantian... died... something happened, Xiaoji, I'm sorry..."

Died every day?

This sentence replayed N times in Yang Xiaoji's mind. He was a majestic roaring dog, and he lived well after going through the battle of the fairy world. Now he came to the human world, and a call came, saying that he was dead?

"Impossible, did you read it wrong?" Yang Xiaoji blurted out, "It's a roaring dog, how could it be dead?"

"Really, Xiaoji, every day...a lot of blood came out, I'm already out of breath..."

Yan Shi put his arms around Luo Yunsong with one arm, took a mobile phone with the other hand and took a photo of Tian Tian's corpse and passed it on. Yang Xiaoji received the photo and didn't say a word for a long time. Luo Yunsong covered his face and trembled uncontrollably. He treated Tiantian as a friend, and even saved his life every day, but in the end he killed Tiantian. He couldn't imagine how sad Yang Xiaoji would be when he heard the news. If he explained to Yang Xiaoji, would he believe it?Luo Yunsong felt that there was nothing left to explain, he was the one who killed Tiantian, and he was ready to bear Yang Xiaoji's scolding, he would rather Yang Xiaoji beat him up, hard.

Yang Xiaoji was silent for a while, then said: "I have never encountered this situation before, wait a minute, I will ask someone."

Yan Shi knew in his heart that Yang Xiaoji was looking for someone to ask, and of course he was looking for the real master of Tiantian——Yang Jian.

Yan Shi took the phone and patted Luo Yunsong: "Go to the room and rest, I will clean up here."

Luo Yunsong shook his head, touched his hair that was soaked in blood every day, his nose was sore, and big teardrops rolled down, Yan Shi ignored him, took the mop, soaked it in water, and started mopping the floor for a while , the phone rang, the caller ID was an unknown number, Yan Shi connected: "Hello?"

"Hello? Hello." A steady male voice sounded over there, and Yan Shi suddenly realized that the man on the other end of the phone was Erlang Shen Yang Jian!

Yang Jian didn't introduce himself, and asked directly, "What's wrong every day?"

"Tiantian...was stabbed with many knives and bled a lot..."

"Is it still breathing?"

"No, it died." Yan Shi said sincerely, "I'm really sorry..."

Yang Jian was also silent for a while, as if he couldn't accept this fact, Yan Shi was sweating nervously, Yang Jian is not an ordinary person, if he gets angry, Yan Shi doesn't know what to do, unexpectedly Yang Jian's voice remains the same Calmly, he asked calmly, "Is Tian Tian's body still there?"

"Ah?" Yan Shi was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Yes! Of course!"

Yan Shi didn't understand what he meant, Tian Tian was a corpse, lying there motionless, but Yang Jian asked if Tian Tian's body was still there?

Yang Jian asked him to take a few photos, both near and far. Yan Shi took several angles and sent them. Yang Jian looked at the photos and said, "Wash Tian Tian and sew up those wounds."

"Well, yes." Yan Shi promised, thinking about taking care of Tian Tian's corpse so that it could go away with dignity, Yan Shi also considered contacting the crematorium to arrange an independent tomb for it.

Yang Jian said: "The wound should be stitched up completely, and then just throw it aside casually."

"……what?"

"You can throw it anywhere, don't worry about it, but don't burn it." Yang Jian warned.

Yan Shi hung up the phone with a dazed expression, but since Erlang Shen spoke, he just obeyed.

Tiantian is huge in size, and after leaking all the blood, it wilts like a deflated ball. It looks light, but it is extremely heavy. Yan Shi can't drag it by himself. He greeted Luo Yunsong, and the two of them put Tiantian into the toilet together. Yan Shi opened the sluice gate, wanted to adjust the water temperature, then thought about it, he died every day, using warm water would only speed up the decay of the corpse, so he directly rinsed the corpse with cold water, the blood soon covered the entire ground, Luo Yunsong Helping it wash its long hair, tears were shed, the two of them didn't know how long they had been washing, the water gradually faded, and Tian Tian's long hair also lost its blood color, and returned to pure white, covering the wound thickly, making Tian Tian look like It was like falling asleep.

Seeing that the washing was almost done, Yan Shi said to Luo Yunsong, "Go get me a pair of scissors."

Luo Yunsong rubbed his red eyes, went out and brought over a pair of scissors.

Strictly cutting Tiantian's long hair, Luo Yunsong tidied up, swept the long hair into a pile, and stuffed it into the trash can. After a while, the trash can was full, but Tian Tian's hair hadn't been cut yet. After Yan Shi spoke, Luo Yunsong consciously changed the garbage bag and cleaned the cut hair repeatedly.

In the early morning, Tian Tian's hair was finally cut short, and Yan Shi called the team, saying that he and Luo Yunsong were asking for leave today.This happened every day, and the corpses had to be disposed of, and the bloodstains had to be cleaned up. It wouldn't take a day to get it done.Yan Shi didn't sleep well all night, he was so sleepy, he tried his best to thread needles and threads, and sewed it up. Yan Shi is not a doctor, and has never given needles to living things. Although he died every day, the feeling of piercing into the flesh, Yan Shi's scalp was about to explode, he could only tell himself over and over again that what he was sewing was clothes, and it would be fine to sew Tian Tian like clothes.

The first few wounds were sewed up by Yan Shi tremblingly, but later on, they became numb, and the stitches became smoother and smoother, so he was not so afraid. At noon, Yan Shi finally sewed up all the wounds of Tian Tian, ​​​​Yang Jian said, Tian Tian casually threw it aside, but how could they dare to be negligent, Luo Yunsong arranged a simple nest in the hall, strictly wiped Tian Tian's body with a towel, and made it clean, Tian Tian's blood had already flowed out, and it was dry Yes, the two put it in the kennel, and Luo Yunsong found a beautiful cloth and covered its scarred body.

Yan Shi cooked dried noodles and gave Luo Yunsong a bowl. The two of them finished eating hastily and sat side by side in a daze.

The phone rang suddenly, startling them.

It was Yang Xiaoji who called, and he said, "That's right, when do you think we should make an appointment to come out and have a chat?"

Yan Shi knew in his heart that it was Yang Jian who wanted to chat with them, and he had to explain the daily affairs sooner or later, so Yan Shi said: "How about tomorrow, at noon tomorrow, around twelve o'clock, let's go to the fairy trail on the TV station." How is Lin?"

Yang Xiaoji said briskly: "Okay, see you tomorrow then."

Yan Shi hung up the phone, rummaged through the address book, clicked on Ao Lie's number, hesitating whether to contact him or not.

"Call Ao Lie." Luo Yunsong said in a hoarse voice, "He's also on a seven-day cycle, so he should know about my situation."

Ao Lie ran to the beach to play at this time. He always had a great time playing alone. When he received the call, he was still fiddling with barbecue and snoring. Yan Shi briefly said a few words about the situation there. When he heard that Tiantian was dead, the grilled chicken wings in Ao Lie's mouth dropped to the ground.

"Dead?!" Ao Lie was surprised.

"Yeah." Yan Shi made an appointment with Ao Lie, hung up the phone, and thought about squinting on the sofa for a while before going to clean up, but he was too tired, squinting, he fell into a deep sleep, and woke up again, already The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the living room. He was tightly pillowed and covered with a blanket. He hadn't slept enough, and he was confused for a while, thinking about where this place was. His eyes fell on the kennel, and he was completely alone. Ji Ling, fully awake.

What about Luo Yunsong?

Yan Shi looked left and right, but Luo Yunsong had disappeared, and shouted anxiously: "Luo Yunsong——!!!"

"Hey!" Luo Yunsong ran out with bubbles in his hands, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Where have you been?"

"I...I do laundry..."

Yan Shi kicked his slippers and ran to the kitchen to have a look. Well, it was really clean. The big blood was cleaned up, but there was still some dull redness in the gaps. There was a big basin in the toilet. There were blood-stained clothes soaked inside, and the washboard was tilted. Seeing that he was fine, Luo Yunsong sat back and rubbed hard.

Yan Shi looked at it for a while and said, "Don't wash it, just throw it away."

"The others couldn't be washed cleanly, so I had to throw them away, but this one belongs to you. It doesn't have much blood on it, so it can be washed clean." Luo Yunsong picked up the clothes and unfolded them. On the pajamas was printed a big coffee cat, Yan Shi's favorite. Yan Shi touched his body, well, he admitted that he slept too deeply, and he didn't know when he was stripped and changed.

Luo Yunsong rubbed it vigorously a few times, and with a sizzling sound, he unfolded it to see that the blood had been washed away, but the thread of the button was broken due to too much force.

Luo Yunsong didn't dare to look into Yan Shi's eyes, blushed, put the clothes under the water, and took them to the balcony to dry.

Yan Shi made two more bowls of dried noodles, and the two of them sat side by side and ate them. The whole day passed in a daze like this. After Yan Shi finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "Luo Yunsong, listen carefully, you will be fine with this matter." is responsible."

Luo Yunsong gave a dull hum, and continued Yan Shi: "But I can't blame you... You don't have to tell me now, wait until tomorrow, you have to explain to Yang Jian honestly, I heard his tone, it seems that there is no Angry, I think it makes sense for him not to be angry, think about it, if a dignified Xiaotian dog is stabbed to death like this, it can't be justified, you, don't blame yourself too much, what should you do, immediately It's time to celebrate, cheer up, huh? Don't rub it, it's all swollen." Yan Shi pulled Luo Yunsong's hand away, touched his red and swollen eyes, "Don't think too much, go to bed early tonight, the disaster is over ,never mind."

Luo Yunsong nodded, and gently hugged Yan Shi.

At night, they slept on the sofa and wanted to accompany Tian Tian. Yan Shi saw that there was extra fabric, and made a cute little mandarin jacket for Tian Tian, ​​and put it on, just to cover those terrible injuries. When the hair was trimmed carefully, I specially left a handful of wounds, and pulled the long hair over, which was just enough to block it.

Not long after Luo Yunsong lay down, he had a fever, took medicine, slept deeply, had no dreams all night, when he woke up in the morning of the next day, Yan Shi went out to buy him porridge, Luo Yunsong was lying on the sofa alone , staring blankly at the ceiling.

He felt that all this was like a dream. The big friend who was alive and kicking a few days ago turned into a cold corpse in an instant.

It's been a day...

His mind was in a daze, his eyes were spinning, and he was so dizzy that he felt like vomiting.

A warm tongue licked his hand, Luo Yunsong was still staring at the ceiling, he was very uncomfortable and didn't want to move, he touched Tian Tian and said weakly: "I'm fine."

Luo Yunsong played with the hair on Tiantian's head, trying to recall what happened that night. He remembered it very clearly, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong. He clearly cut that monster in his dream, and how it turned into What about every day?Luo Yunsong closed his eyes and silently typed a draft in his mind. Things had to be straightened out so that he could tell Yang Jian and the others.

Unconsciously playing with Tian Tian's hair, Tian Tian raised his head and tried to lick his hand, licking and licking, Luo Yunsong suddenly got an electric shock and bounced off the sofa...

Yan Shi was carrying the buns and porridge, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard the sound of wailing from home. Yan Shi was frightened, fearing that something might happen to Luo Yunsong, he hurriedly opened the door and saw that Luo Yunsong was sitting on the ground, He cried and laughed while holding Tian Tian, ​​at first Yan Shi looked dazed, he didn't understand what Luo Yunsong was getting excited about, after a few more glances, Yan Shi's expression also changed, from shock to surprise, seeing him every day, shaking The tail barked twice.

At noon, there were people coming and going in the fairy trail forest, the waiter was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, so he chose a place near the door, which was blocked by plants, but it became a hidden place, and followed them every day, taking advantage of the service Without paying attention, he slipped in without anyone noticing and hid under the seat.

Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong ordered food and waited obediently. They were a little nervous. Yang Jian was a celebrity in both TV and novels. Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong imagined what kind of form they would appear in while smoking. On the opposite side, they sucked in big mouthfuls, and the three of them swallowed halfway through, when Yang Xiaoji made his debut, followed by a tall man with a briefcase in his hand, wearing a suit and tie, he looked like a business elite , Yan Shi pondered for a while, and quickly stood up. The man walked up to him and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I'm Yang Jian."

Yang Jian shook hands with them one by one. When Yang Xiaoji saw Ao Lie for the first time, the two introduced them politely. Then Yang Jian and Yang Xiaoji sat on Ao Lie's side. On the master's thigh, Haha stuck out his tongue to touch it, Yang Jian touched it, and said with a smile: "Get down quickly, don't be seen by others."

Tiantian hid under Ao Lie, and secretly gnawed on the leg of the big seafood. Ao Lie shook sensitively and pointed down: "Isn't it still alive?"

Yan Shi was about to speak, when the waiter brought the food, Yan Shi changed his words: "Come on, let's eat first, while it's hot."

Yang Jian has a wealth of experience, and chatted with them about some interesting news. It just so happened that Luo Yunsong was also an eloquent guy. After leaving, Yang Xiaoji couldn't hold back at first, whispered: "What happened that night?"

What should come will still come, Luo Yunsong has already been prepared, he talked eloquently, like telling a story, from the first day he forwarded Weibo, all the way to being killed every day, but when he talked about the dream, he deliberately concealed it He mentioned some ambiguous plots, and generally called Yan Shi "a certain friend". This was the first time Yan Shi heard him talk about dreams. When Luo Yunsong hugged him and rubbed around, he suspected that the bastard must have done something What kind of unrealistic dreams, did not expect these dreams to last so long, Luo Yunsong spoke vividly, several people listened, it was as exciting as watching a series, Yan Shi added a few words from time to time, Yang Jian heard that the Dragon Prince was also seven days old When he was in the cycle, he couldn't help turning his head to look at him, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to tell me about yourself?"

Prince Long touched his nose: "What can I do?"

Crowd: "..."

What Prince Long said is the truth, no matter how dangerous the seven-day cycle is, it doesn't matter to him, that thing doesn't matter to him at all.

Yang Jian thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and logged into Weibo, found Xiaoyao Taoist, and forwarded it in full view.

Luo Yunsong: "...do you feel anything?"

Yang Jian closed his eyes and sensed it. There was no sound of water or any special feeling. He shook his head.

Yan Shi and Luo Yunsong both logged into Weibo at the same time. Yang Jian is an Orange V, certified as a well-known blogger. The two clicked in to take a look, and took a breath. Yang Jian's reputation is huge, with more than 190 million fans, this is forwarded Got it? !

Yang Jian smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, when I forwarded it, I chose to see it in the circle of friends, if you don't believe me, look for it?"

The two rummaged around, but they couldn't find it. After they fancied each other with Yang Jian, that Weibo post suddenly appeared!

And the Weibo that has been set to be visible in the circle of friends cannot be reposted, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Yang Jian deleted that Weibo, and he succeeded as soon as he deleted it. It seems that the thing really didn't dare to provoke him. Luo Yunsong tried to delete it before, and every time he deleted it, the interface would either freeze or crash. Go, he couldn't delete it no matter what, so he had to scroll through Weibo, and scrolled down four or five pages of the koi post before giving up.

Luo Yunsong gave Yang Jian a cigarette, and Yang Jian didn't refuse. After lighting it up, he took a puff and said, "I care more about the dream you mentioned."

Luo Yunsong's face immediately burned.

Yang Jian said: "Obviously that thing taught you to kill Tiantian through dreams. It must have sensed that Tiantian is not an ordinary dog. It is a threat to it and must be removed, but..." Yang Jian fell into deep thought, that thing is not simple, It was able to seriously injure the Xiaotian dog, but the Xiaotian dog did not disappear, which means that the thing failed, why?

Yang Jian thought about it for a while, and immediately found the key to the problem: "Didn't you say that the person in the dream taught you how to write? Write it down and see?"

Luo Yunsong found a pen and paper, quickly filled a sheet, and showed it to Yang Jian. Yang Jian looked at it for a long time but couldn't see what was on the paper. Luo Yunsong's writing was so unique that Yang Jian didn't even know what the picture was. Or something else, he pondered for a moment, and tentatively asked: "Is the painting an elephant?"

Luo Yunsong looked at the sky: "The written spell... only has twelve kinds of characters, and the twelve characters form a group. They are arranged in a fixed order and copied twelve times..."

When he said this, Yang Jian immediately understood it, Ao Lie and Yang Xiaoji also studied it, and immediately understood, they praised Luo Yunsong's strong artistic skills, there are words in the painting, and there are universes in the words!

"This is a sealing curse written in Sanskrit. No wonder it hurts Tiantian." Yang Jian held his forehead, only to blame Luo Yunsong's handwriting for being too artistic, and the serious Sanskrit was directly turned into an abstract painting. But it didn't disappear, and the pirated charms didn't play their strongest role at all!

"That thing is not simple, it can use Sanskrit mantras!" Prince Long was amazed.

Luo Yunsong sighed, and said what he was worried about: "I'm more afraid that I will hurt him like I hurt Tiantian."

"The person in the dream?"

"En." Luo Yunsong looked at the coffee, not daring to look at Yan Shi.

If Yan Shi is an ordinary person, if he is injured like Tian Tian, ​​he will definitely not survive. When Luo Yunsong thinks of Tian Tian's tragedy, his heart beats with fear.

"Have you lived with that person?" Yang Jian asked.

Luo Yunsong hummed.

Yang Jian thought for a while and said, "I think your girlfriend will be fine, and she didn't mess with that thing, and that thing used her image to enter your dreams, which shows that your girlfriend is very important in your heart, and , you have a sense of protection for her, even in a dream, you won't take the initiative to hurt her, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to provoke that thing, that thing will not do anything to her, after all, one day is enough for it to have a headache, how can it be divided? God will deal with your girlfriend?"

Luo Yunsong thought about it carefully, and it really made sense. Besides, when Yan Shi hit him, he never thought of fighting back, let alone actively hurting him.

Yan Shi calmly flipped through his phone to watch the news, without looking up, he flicked a cigarette ash into his coffee cup.

Yang Jian kindly reminded: "...that... coffee..."

Yan Shi picked up the coffee and took a sip: "It's not cold yet."

Crowd: "..."

Yang Jian asked Luo Yunsong: "What's your girlfriend's name?"

Before Luo Yunsong could answer, Yan Shi gave up on himself and said, "His surname is Yan."

Yang Jian understood: "Could it be your sister?"

Yan Shi casually hummed.

It's no wonder that Yan Shi is so out of his mind, it turns out that Luo Yunsong is in love with Sister Yan!
