How to cough up blood

Day two.

He ate too much sweets yesterday, it was rare for Ji Zhisheng not to feel dizzy when he woke up today.

Ah Ruan was still in Qin Yan's place, and it seemed that it had been more than ten days. Ji Zhisheng wiped his face sleepily, took out his mobile phone and sent Qin Yan a message, asking him to find time to bring Ah Ruan here.

After sending out, he scratched his hair and planned to wash up.

The phone ding-dong, and Xi Jin seemed to have pinched it a bit and sent a WeChat message:

[Professor Ji, is the insulation box ready?I'll be waiting at your door to pick it up, and I'll bring it back to work for dinner. ]

Ji Zhisheng: "..."

It seems that it hasn't been brushed yet.

He has never cooked himself, and usually relies on takeaways and dim sum shops to make a living. He rarely uses dishes at home, let alone washing dishes. He has no such concept at all.

Pretending not to see Xi Jin's news, Ji Zhisheng took the heat preservation box into the kitchen, there was no dish soap, he was silent for a while, squeezed his own facial cleanser, sacrificed a lot of wet wipes, and then reluctantly brushed out the heat preservation box, Wipe it clean.

Then he opened the door, handed out the heat preservation box, looked at Xi Jin at the door and said, "Here you are."

Xi Jin took it with a smile, raised her eyebrows and sized it up: "I thought Professor Ji couldn't do the dishes, but I'm ready to do it myself."

Ji Zhisheng adjusted his glasses: "It's just a bowl."

"OK, I have to go to the unit now. Seeing Professor Ji like this, it seems that he won't go with me," Xi Jin said, "Well then, after two days of vacation, I will treat Professor Ji to dinner."

Ji Zhisheng: "I..."

"Okay, it's settled like this," Xi Jin quickly took a few steps back, and pressed the button of the elevator.

Ji Zhisheng frowned slightly, and squeezed the doorknob: "These few days...be more careful."

Xi Jin was taken aback.

Ji Zhisheng has already closed the door.

He didn't know what T meant by 'sincerity', and there was always an inexplicable feeling in his heart, but it was not a sense of crisis.

He soon knew what T's sincerity meant.

At 7:17 that night, an abnormal explosion suddenly occurred in a psychiatric hospital in the north of the city in D City near the sea. Strangely, the explosion was contained within a safe range, and only a few people were slightly injured.

After the mental hospital was closed down, what was found inside was jaw-dropping.These things have not been exposed, but the internal information of the police station is still well informed.

Not to mention, this mental hospital is also related to the current Rosethorn in G City.The lunatic who murdered in public in the sixth case came from this mental hospital in D City.

After testing by professionals, the patients in the mental hospital are all highly aggressive and have an extremely strong desire to destroy people's hearts. They seem to have undergone special training and already have criminal weapons with an instinct to kill.

Once this analysis was obtained, the entire city of D was put on guard immediately, and the relevant video materials were transmitted to the Public Security Bureau of City G at the same time.

Now, the extremely aggressive patients in the mental hospital have been contained and suppressed, and more or less of them have died.The dean of the mental hospital and its managers disappeared, as if they knew the news in advance and ran away.

The key information was also destroyed, and the only thing left was the data record of the patient's crime.Each line of the printed cold handwriting is a bloody crime.

They are lunatics.

Ji Zhisheng also received materials at home.

Of course, what he received was more complete.

After his time in the mental hospital broke out, he received an anonymous email containing dozens of video clips.

After Ji Zhisheng read them one by one, he calmly put away his mobile phone and walked to the French windows in the living room. His back was slender and straight, overlooking the night view of Tianxi Garden Linjiang.

At a glance, the lights are bright, but the darkness that cannot be illuminated is like a dark snake that is wandering around, waiting for an opportunity.

The video in the anonymous email was sent to him by T.

He is very familiar with the means of instigating mental patients to commit crimes.

Suggestion, induction, hypnosis, mental stimulation, collapse of belief, brainwashing, personality remodeling...

It's just that in comparison, what the patients in the mental hospital experience is long-term and mild.

Ji Zhisheng thought to himself, is this the sincerity that T gave him.

But compared to sincerity, he prefers to use threat to describe it.

jingle.Mobile SMS notification.

Ji Zhisheng opened it and took a look:

[Are you satisfied with your sincerity? ]

[If you are satisfied, follow the method below and tell me your answer. ]

[practice:……]

[I look forward to seeing you in seven days. ]

Ji Zhisheng watched the method specified by T for a moment, then deleted the text message and turned off the phone.He raised his eyes and looked outside, the mirror reflected the bright lights outside.

After a while, the tulle curtains were drawn.

click.

The small light on the wall was also turned off by him.The room was suddenly dark.

Ji Zhi walked silently into the shadows where the dim light outside was invisible.

Because of the incident at the mental hospital in D city, Xi Jin was forced to work overtime. She was supposed to take a rest the next day, but she didn't come back until three or four in the afternoon.

Xi Jin sent a message to Ji Zhisheng on the way: [Professor Ji, go out to eat? ]

He originally thought that Ji Zhisheng would refuse, but a message popped up on his phone:

[good.I still need to buy something. ]

Xi Jin's eyes lit up: [Alright!I'll be right there! ]

He speeded up and drove towards Tianxi Garden, Ji Zhisheng was waiting downstairs early.

He was dressed very casually today, a gray loose sweater with a turtleneck, black pants and white shoes, ear studs not removed, revealing a thin ankle, very resembling a young teenage college student.

Ji Zhisheng opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot.

Good-looking is good-looking, Xi Jin only glanced at him, then frowned: "It's cold and you still show your ankles, how old are you, and you still talk to..."

Ji Zhisheng glanced over coolly.

Xi Jin immediately stopped talking and made a gesture to shut up.

The car slowly drove out of Tianxi Garden, Xi Jin asked, "What would Professor Ji want to eat?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Zhisheng really thought about it seriously, and finally said a place.

Xi Jin: "Jade Emperor Street?" He smiled, "I didn't expect Professor Ji to know there."

Emerald Emperor Street is a luxurious version of the snack street in G City. The decoration and layout tend to be Tang and Song style. At night, many young people in ancient costumes can be seen there.

Xi Jin turned the steering wheel, "We'll be there soon."

It was getting dark outside, and Ji Zhi said: "I only came to Jade Emperor Street once before, but it didn't seem to be developing as well as it is now."

Xi Jin chatted: "That was two or three years ago, wasn't Professor Ji in City C at that time, why did he come here?"

"Well, I was working as a consultant in City C at that time. I came here to get materials before, and was brought here by my colleagues. I ate the potato noodles here once. I don't know if I'm still there."

"Do you only eat potato flour? Professor Ji, I thought you would kill me." There are quite a few cars here, Xi Jin looked outside, saw a parking space, and parked the car.

After parking the car, he took off his seat belt, tilted his head and smiled and said, "You really don't have to be polite to me."

Ji Zhi paused: "I won't."

Emerald Emperor Street is not yet the most crowded time, and the potato noodle shop that Ji Zhisheng ate at that time is not easy to find now, and the two strolled in, both a little absent-minded.

Xi Jin's heart beat a little.

He thought to himself, Ji Zhisheng's condition today is a little bit wrong.

From the moment he agreed to go out to eat with him, he felt weird.And... Xi Jin secretly glanced at Ji Zhisheng's calm side face.

How does it feel, Ji Zhisheng seems to be about to have a showdown.

Are you going to reject him head-on?

And because I was too embarrassed to say it directly, I am thinking now?

Xi Jin froze immediately, and he rubbed against Ji Zhisheng, making up his mind not to give him a chance to speak: "Professor Ji, what would you like to eat?"

"...Oh, let's see what you want to eat."

Ji Zhisheng was in a trance just now.

But it's not like what Xi Jin thought, how to refuse and so on.

In fact, he didn't quite understand why he agreed to go out for dinner with Xi Jin. If he wanted to buy fireworks, he would be fine by himself.

"Then you wait," Xi Jin looked around, and went to buy two bunches of candied haws, "Eat one, it's sour and appetizing."

Ji Zhisheng took it and took a bite, the sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth.At the fountain in the distance, someone was setting off fireworks to confess their love. The brilliant fireworks lit up, and it was lively, and some people were booing, cheering and laughing.

He and Xi Jin found a place to sit and watched from a distance, Xi Jin smiled and said, "It's nice to be young."

Ji Zhisheng looked at it for a moment, turned his head, looked at Xi Jin, clenched his fingers unconsciously, and said softly: "If one day... I disappear..."

boom!Another firework exploded in the sky, muffled his voice.

Xi Jin's eyes were filled with the light of bright fireworks in the night sky, and she looked back at him with a smile, like a handful of hot and warm fire.

He scratched his head and said, "What's the matter, Professor Ji, what did you just say?"

Ji Zhi paused, smiled, got up and said: "It's nothing, I said, I remembered where the potato flour shop is, let's go."

Xi Jin was stunned by his smile, her ears turned red, "Oh... yes."

He finished the candied haws in twos and threes, thinking it was a bit too sweet.But he saw that Ji Zhisheng seemed to be adapting well, and he had eaten all the icing on the outside.He silently added another dessert to Ji Zhisheng's recipe.

Xi Jin didn't know if the potato flour was from the one Ji Zhisheng had been to, but the taste was really good.Sometimes, a celebrity chef's meal in a high-end restaurant is not as delicious as a roadside snack.

Xi Jin turned the car and went out: "Professor Ji decides where to go next."

"Go buy fireworks." Ji Zhisheng said lightly.

"Huh? Fireworks?" Xi Jin felt strange, recalled just now, and pondered: "What are you doing with the shopping? Professor Ji also wants to propose to someone?"

Ji Zhisheng: "No, let's play."

He thought for a while: "Do you know where I can buy blue fireworks?"

"Blue?" Xi Jin said, "This color is not very common, so it's not easy to buy."

"But..." He shook his phone, "Leave it to me, I promise to do it for you."

Xi Jin sent a few messages out, then turned on the mobile phone navigation, thinking for a moment: "Where to put it off? Only a small amount of fireworks are allowed in the city center, and fireworks that last for more than half an hour are only allowed in the suburbs."

"..."

Ji Zhisheng couldn't put it into words: "How much did you buy?"

Xi Jin: "Not many, it's only been set off for half an hour, and they don't have many blue fireworks."

Ji Zhisheng: "...I'll release it in Tianxi Garden, it only needs one sound."

Seeing that Xi Jin was still a bit reluctant, he sighed, leaned over, and clicked a few times on Xi Jin's phone page with downcast eyes.Remarks Let the merchants send it to the artificial lake in Tianxi Garden. After all, Tianxi Garden is a residential area, and the only place where fireworks can be set off is the artificial lake.

After he ordered, he casually sent a WeChat red envelope to Xi Jin: "Thank you."

After a while, he didn't hear Xi Jin's voice, so he glanced strangely, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Xi Jin thought to himself, luckily it was night, otherwise his red ears would not be able to hide.It's all because Ji Zhisheng smells so good, it's definitely not his problem.

The vicinity of the artificial lake in Tianxi Garden is also quite lively.

But when the fireworks they asked for were delivered, it was already after ten o'clock in the evening, so there were not many people left.

"Didn't I tell the merchant that it only needs one ring?"

Ji Zhisheng looked helplessly at the rows of fireworks on the ground.

Xi Jin coughed, and said confidently, "It's not about to be Mid-Autumn Festival, and someone set off fireworks here before, so let's just let it go, won't we lose?"

"Besides, they're all blue, don't you just want to see them?"

The cool evening breeze by the artificial lake swayed the lake.

Xi Jin stood by the guardrail: "Professor Ji, can you tell me why you suddenly want to set off fireworks?" It's still blue, which doesn't quite match Ji Zhisheng's character.

Why……

Ji Zhisheng was slightly lost in thought.

After the news of the mental hospital came, Ji Zhisheng received the message from T: [Agreed to take the initiative to be my sacrifice, let's set off blue fireworks in Tianxi Garden. ]

Ji Zhisheng looked at Xi Jin's profile.

Because, he was ready to agree to be T's final sacrifice.

The teacher once said that he was not quite like a human being, but like a fettered demon who was forced to become a god.So gradually, the devil also has an illusory divinity, and the god who is stained with evil is also a god.

Ji Zhisheng thought, he is an ordinary person, what kind of ridiculous divinity is he talking about.

He has never had any idea of ​​saving others, he is actually very selfish and selfish.I promised T, but I just didn't want to be passive like this anymore.

The person T was targeting was him, and Rose Kissed seven people who died because of him, as did Rose Thorn.He doesn't need to let more people, because he alone will never see the sun in the world.

Ji Zhisheng: "I just want to watch it suddenly."

"I forgot the lighter at home, do you have it?"

Xi Jin thought for a while, and expressed her understanding, after all, sometimes he would suddenly want to do something, for example, want to kiss Ji Zhisheng.

He pulled Ji Zhisheng's wrist away from the railing, retreated more than ten meters, and said excitedly: "You stay here, I'll let it go."

Ji Zhisheng was slightly taken aback: "Wait..."

Xi Jin didn't hear it, and ran to the place where he put it just now. Ji Zhisheng still had the warmth of his palm on his wrist. He watched Xi Jin squat down, and then took out the lighter to light it.

Soon, a few sporadic sparks sprang out there, and after Xi Jin lit it, she ran back quickly, stood beside Ji Zhisheng with a smile, and coughed: "This is the first time I set off fireworks for others except for the New Year." .”

Xi Jin glanced at Ji Zhisheng, her eyebrows raised, "I let it go by myself, and ordinary people don't get this kind of treatment."

boom!

Brilliant blue fireworks exploded in the sky.

At that moment, the stars in the sky also seemed to be eclipsed, reflected in the eyes, like a mysterious and romantic Milky Way.

Xi Jin didn't raise her head to look at the sky, her eyes kept falling on Ji Zhisheng's side face, and then in his light-colored eyes, she saw bunches of blue fireworks in full bloom.

He was fascinated to think, in fact, the fireworks are like fireworks, but because Ji Zhisheng is watching, it looks extra romantic.

Xi Jin didn't know how silly the smile on her face was, and she couldn't stop it.

"This is also the first time in 20 years that someone has set off fireworks for me," Ji Zhisheng said, and couldn't help smiling. He turned his head to look at Xi Jin, "Thank you, it's beautiful."

The phone vibrated, and an unfamiliar message: [Fireworks are beautiful, looking forward to meeting you. ]

Ji Zhisheng just glanced at it and then calmly deleted it.

Xi Jin touched her nose in embarrassment.

"Then... I'll play it for you next time, do you still want to watch it?"

"To be honest, my family also has investment in this area. I can get whatever you want."

After the fireworks were over, they walked back side by side, Xi Jin chattered a little excitedly, but also a little nervous.Seeing that Ji Zhisheng had been listening to him, but he didn't speak, he hesitated for a moment, and then stopped.

Ji Zhisheng took two steps forward, found Xi Jin stopped behind, was slightly taken aback, and turned around.

"Why don't you leave?"

Xi Jin's eyes were burning, and she asked, "Ji Zhisheng, this year's Chinese New Year, would you...would you like to go home with me and watch me set off the fireworks?"

As the evening wind blew through the forest, Xi Jin's heart beat like a drum, and the tip of her nose was sweating from tension.He still didn't directly pierce the window paper between him and Ji Zhisheng.

He was afraid that after Ji Zhisheng refused, they wouldn't even be friends.

The reason for setting off fireworks can also be said to be an invitation between friends.

Ji Zhisheng seemed to sigh.

After a while, he replied, "I want to see it."

Such an ambiguous answer made Xi Jin's eyes brighten, his tail almost went up to the sky, and he didn't mention anything else, just blah blah all the way, wishing he could tell all the kinds of fireworks that he let off when he was a child.His eyebrows were beaming, and it was easy for people to infect his joy.

Ji Zhisheng laughed, occasionally joking.

He really wanted to watch Xi Jin set off fireworks during the Chinese New Year.

But it can only be seen.
