who will you be

Thunder rolling.

Eve stopped a taxi and hurried to the hotel.On the way, the taxi driver glanced at Eve sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror from time to time, frowning, hesitant to speak.

When getting out of the car to give the money, the master repeatedly waved his hands and said no, no, life is hard, but there are always other ways out, so don't give up easily.After speaking, he walked straight away, leaving Eve alone in place, not knowing why.

"You do this too?" Someone teased with a long tail.

When Eve turned her head, a middle-aged man in a black jacket, black jeans, and black leather shoes was leaning against the outer wall of the hotel, crossing his legs, and looking at her playfully.

Eve was a little unhappy.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I was just investigating a disappearance of a call girl, and I just happened to meet you." After speaking, he lit a cigarette, and a long puff of smoke blew towards the door of the hotel, "There are often call girls in this hotel." When going in and out, they all wear red coats, which is obviously organized."

"Finished? Sorry, I don't have time." Eve reached out and pulled the door, "I'll take my leave if I have nothing else to do."

The glass door closed, the man squinted his eyes and put out his cigarette, took out a black notebook from his jacket, and recorded something.On the title page of the notebook that passed by in a flash, there was a series of numbers: 9527.

"Hello, may I ask..." Eve didn't finish her sentence.The front desk handed over a card with the printed words: No. 020, Mary Street, Aoi District.

Seeing Eve's puzzled expression, the receptionist glanced outside the door and explained, "Your friend has already checked you out of the room. This is the card he left for you."

"Why is he... my cat?"

"Oh, you mean the big black cat, gone with it. It's strange to sit on his shoulders."

The front desk remained unchanged, but deliberately lowered his voice and said with an unfriendly mouth shape, "Don't worry, we have already cleared the check-in for you before the police came."

It does not make sense!

"Your job is not easy, please be careful in the future, Xianheng Hotel, and look forward to your next visit." The front desk smiled and bowed.

When Eve walked out of the hotel in a daze, the man was gone, only the half-stamped cigarette left on the ground.

Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed in the night sky from time to time.

Eve frowned, glanced at the taxi that happened to be parked at the door, hesitated for a moment, and walked forward.

Anyway, I wanted to find him.

It was late at night when the taxi stopped in front of the police station.The lights in the duty room are still on, with a warm color.Eve got out of the car, looked at the sign of the police station, wrapped her clothes tightly, crossed her arms, and walked to the duty room.It's just that the retractable door has been slowly opened before reaching the front.She had no choice but to nod in the direction of the duty room and say thank you.

In the black car parked on the corner of the street, a red dot fluctuates from dark to light.Xu Guowen stared at Eve and walked in, burning cigarette butts caught his eyes, and the red lights of one big and two small kept the same frequency of light and dark.

A muscular man in a police uniform came out of the duty room and placed a sign at the door saying that no one else was allowed to enter.He walked to the duty room for a few steps and then turned back. He seemed dissatisfied with the position of the sign, and moved it several times until the sign was far away from the driver's seat of the black car, and then he left with satisfaction.

Xu Guowen stubbed out the cigarette.

interesting……

Eve moved forward all the way, thinking about the questions she wanted to ask, the tone of her voice, and the scene of the simulated dialogue, but she was discouraged in front of the door.The clothes seemed a bit messy, and after tidying up, I didn't know where to put my hands, and finally let them stick to the outside of my legs naturally, and my heart was still beating violently.

What are you doing, you were fine before you came here!

She gritted her teeth, pushed open the door, took a big step, and stepped in.

However, she stepped on the ground and fell into a void.

It was pitch black in front of her eyes, and the wind was whistling in her ears, she only knew that she was falling, falling continuously.

Eve's eyes were wide open, completely unresponsive to what happened.

Here, where is it?

I pushed open the door, where is the other side of the door?

Shouldn't it be the lobby of the police station?

Ah, even if it's not the police station, it shouldn't be...

Suddenly, she paused, and her fall stopped suddenly.

After a moment of dizziness, she found herself floating in the dark.

This darkness gives people a very different feeling, how to describe it?Like a liquid, ah, soft and greasy?Yes!Sticky!Viscous and almost gelatinous.

Eve wanted to turn her body, but her body was completely numb.No, it's not that she is unconscious, she has no body at all!Now it's all right, even the Acup is gone.

Eve "smiled", and the darkness surged.

Ah, it seems, there is some sound.

Yes……

"Meow."

Hearing began to recover, and intermittent electrical sounds were faintly heard.The scene in front of me gradually became clear: a cup of steaming coffee was placed beside the black conference table, and steam rose from the white cup, and a...

It's him!

Everything here is very similar to when we met for the first time. The room, the table, and the people have not changed. He is still wearing a beige three-piece suit, the same as at that time.

Tell me about your childhood.

If he said this, Eve would even suspect that everything she had experienced before was fake, and Xiao Ai was still waiting for her downstairs.

But not.

In fact, he didn't even have the will to speak first.

He was fiddling with a dark blue ball with both hands, and looked at Eve, but he still didn't focus on her.

"Meow." The black cat stopped circling Eve's calf, stopped and called to Eve.

By the way, I almost forgot about you traitor!Did you just leave with someone else?Are you so casual?Anyone can be, right?

Eve grabbed the black cat's front foot, lifted it across her lap, and rubbed it bitterly.It squinted its eyes, with a look of enjoyment on its face.

"Do you know where my friend is?" Eve asked as she helped the black cat straighten out its messy hair.

Friend is a word that refers to a wider range of words, but it has become a proper term for Xiaoai when it comes to Eve. Eve seems to have nothing wrong with it.Maybe for her, one is enough.

"She's not here." Without looking up, he put the ball on a square hemispherical concave pure white box, and the ball was suspended in the air, seeming to be turning, but it didn't seem to be there, "To be exact, she's not where we are." in this world."

It seemed that he didn't know exactly where Xiao Ai was.Eve understood what he didn't say directly, and felt a burst of frustration.She hadn't realized that she was trusting a person who didn't even know his name without reservation.

"How much do you know about her?" he asked abruptly.

Eve couldn't help but think of that chilling howl, quickly shook her head, and said firmly, "She was very good to me."

He was noncommittal to Eve's response.

"She can take care of herself." The man's tone was flat, as if he was stating a fact.

Eve can only continue to trust him because she has no choice.She knew that she was involved in weird and inexplicable events, she had no clue, and she was powerless.

What Eve didn't know was that the incident had started a long time ago, and Meaux would become the center of this vortex.

Because she is here.

"You can live here tonight." He talked a lot tonight.

Um?What's the meaning?Domineering president?

"It's not safe outside."

Is something big going to happen?

"Your room is ready." He opened the door and walked out.

Even the room is tidy...

Wait, Eve looked around, where is the room...?wrong!How did I come to the conference room? I don't have any impression.Well, it seems that I opened the door and fell in... There is something wrong with this house!

Eve unscrewed the door of the meeting room, remembering that the meeting room leads to the office...

This house is very problematic!

Eve stood there dumbfounded, looking at the scene in front of her in disbelief.The other side of the door is actually the living room of my own home!The home that had been bombed turned out to be here intact!

Sofa, tea table, TV, wall paintings... not only the layout, but everything in the room is exactly the same as before.Eve’s bags, scarves, and coats are hung on the coat rack at the door, and the memo on the small whiteboard says to bring breakfast for colleagues. The handwriting is her own... Eve hurried to open the bathroom door, and the bathtub Really safe and sound lying by the window!

Since the explosion, there have been many incidents around her, and the joy of regaining the loss even makes her tired, and the peace at this moment is very precious.

Eve, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out of the bathroom and lay on the bed with her arms open.The black cat followed her, walked to its nest and sat down, licked its paws, rubbed its eyes, and curled up.

Xiao Ai, are you really okay?

Although Eve is staying in a strange house with strange people, she is not worried about her situation.If you want to do yourself a disservice, you don't need to go through so much trouble.Moreover, since he can do this, his resistance must be meaningless.

This view is not entirely correct. Some people did spend a lot of time trying to harm her, and Xu Guowen's suspicion of her was part of the "a lot of work".

The sound insulation of the room is exceptionally good, and Eve can't hear the noise downstairs, nor can she see the red and blue lights flickering on the window glass behind her.Just like Xu Guowen didn't know what happened to Eve after he went in, Eve didn't know what he did after he left the hotel.

At this time, dozens of police cars with flashing lights had already surrounded the building, fully armed and ready for battle.Xu Guowen leaned against the car door, bowed his head to light his cigarette, and gave the middle finger to the duty room.

"Captain Xu, where did this fake police station come from? I've been in Mocheng for at least five or six years, and I don't have any impression of it."

"There's a lot you don't know."

"According to the facial analysis report, the man with the scar in the duty room may be related to multiple murders."

"The one upstairs, too."

"I have been shouting for so long, but there is no movement at all."

"hold on."

In fact, today's situation is not what Xu Guowen is happy to see.Since the campus suicide case, Eve has entered Xu Guowen's field of vision, and he sympathizes with this tragic girl.

Until one day, he accidentally discovered that almost all the cases in Mocheng were inextricably related to her.For the first time, he doubted his keen intuition. Could there be such a girl behind all the crimes?

He thought of how similar the look in her kneeling eyes when he quietly went to her father's funeral was when he was in the orphanage.

But with suspicion, it's like opening Pandora's box, and it's out of control.

He began to pay attention to the details about her, becoming more and more alarmed.If everything has to do with her, then she is a demon in human skin!

He thought of his parents who died unjustly, and the oath of joining the team. As a criminal policeman, he is now blinded by emotion, which is really sad.

The anger of being deceived prompted him to pursue it. With the collection of clues, the puzzle gradually became clear, and he felt that he was very close to the answer.

However, after the mystery is revealed, is it the truth, the truth that he wants, or the truth that others want?

During an encounter with Eve, he decided to follow her for a while to see if he could make a breakthrough, but he broke his leg in the process.At that time, the alley was dimly lit, with sewage and blood stains all over his face, and he wasn't even sure if it was a human or something else that attacked him.

The right leg began to ache again, "It's almost there, let's get ready to do it."

At this moment, a firework whizzed up to the sky, penetrated into the clouds, exploded in the shadow of the whistle, and bloomed into a blood-red flower.Immediately afterwards, several more rose to the sky, blooming one after another, and the night sky was suddenly red.

After the fireworks ceased, Donglei echoed, and the rain that had been brewing for a long time finally began to patter down.
