Lu Zhizhi pursed his lips and lowered his head, "Yes, I still mind being treated as a scourge."

"Storm beast?"

Bai Ji sniffed her scent, kept rubbing her neck with his nose through the mask, and gently rubbed her shoulders with his lips, "What does it matter? As long as I don't misunderstand you, that's enough. Don't worry about it at all." other people’s eyes.”

The possessiveness in him is gradually revealed after falling in love.

Lu Zhizhi: "Social death is a very serious matter. The recognition I want is not the status in the relationship and the exclusive gaze, but a healthy and comfortable life living in the sun."

She put the washed dishes back into the cupboard, turned around, leaned her face against his chest, and sighed softly, "But you can never go back, right? Ever since the masked woman broke into my life, everything has changed It’s all ruined.”

Bai Ji's gentle expression became stiffer, pale, gloomy, and distorted.

"Are they all destroyed? You are very angry, Zhizhi."

Lu Zhizhi was silent for a while, "I actually don't know."

After despair and fear, she was thankful that some people could die.

"Human nature is very complex." She said softly: "Two emotions are often at war in my heart, like a huge contradiction. Likewise, I am extremely cowardly."

Bai Ji hugged her and said, "This is a normal thing. You are not an exception and you have no fault."

It was always him and the monster who were at fault.

Lu Zhizhi's uncomfortable mood was successfully restored by Bai Ji's mediation. She glanced at the sky outside the window and sighed slightly, "I'd better return the money to Liu Shu today. I'll pay it back as soon as possible and clear up the relationship as soon as possible."

She put the money in the envelope, wrapped it, and walked to the entrance to put on her shoes.

Bai Ji said, "I'll go with you."

"No, it's just a short journey and I'll be back soon." Lu Zhizhi said, "Just wait for me to come back at home. If possible, go to the nearby fruit shop to buy some fruit."

Bai Ji would never refuse her request and said hello with a smile.

Some distance out of the townhouse apartment, Lu Zhizhi took a Didi taxi. The bus's route passed through the school. It was not completely dark yet. She looked out the window and paid special attention to the noodle restaurant.

I saw that the rolling shutter door of the restaurant was tightly pulled down, and there was a cleaning truck at the door. Several sanitation workers were cleaning the floor. The blood and water stirred up foam and flowed into the sewer. I could still vaguely distinguish the tragic scene before the incident.

The driver noticed the way the passenger in the passenger seat kept looking out the window and told her a gossip, "I ran back and forth here several times today. There's a big traffic jam."

Lu Zhizhi: "What happened?"

"In the old community above that noodle shop, it is said that a child in elementary school jumped from the seventh floor and was shattered to pieces. It was very pitiful."

The driver sighed, but Lu Zhizhi's heart fell to the bottom.

"How old is the child?" She had a bad premonition.

"Then I don't know. I heard from people in my driver group that I think I was in sixth grade. I failed the midterm exam. I couldn't bear the blow and just jumped. If you ask me, don't put so much pressure on your children now. ."

Lu Zhizhi didn't listen very carefully to what he said next. Her mind couldn't help but think of the son of the noodle shop proprietress, that poor child who was submissive and timid.

"arrive."

The driver stopped at the gate of the community, "This is a wealthy community. No outside vehicles are allowed in. Girl, you can only walk in by yourself."

"OK, it does not matter."

Lu Zhizhi put on her bag and briefly explained her purpose to the guard. The guard also remembered that she came here to register students for classes, so he let her in without reporting to the owner this time.

She slowly walked to the door of Liu Shu's house. It was completely dark, and the small lights automatically turned on in the small garden.Lu Zhizhi rang the doorbell and waited for a while, but no one responded. He also called Liu Shu's mother into the camera, but received no response.

not here?
She felt a little strange and put her hand on the iron door to look inside, but she pushed the door easily and it was not locked at all.

Lu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then walked in sideways. All the way to the door of the villa, she found that the door here was also in an abnormal state of being half open.

No one leaves the house without closing the door.

Lu Zhizhi had a vague feeling that something was going on. She opened the door and walked in while dialing Officer Yang.

As soon as she entered the door, she paused. The strong smell of blood instantly irritated her nasal cavity, making her feel nauseated.

Looking at the entrance, there was a long bloody handprint that was dragged all the way from the living room to the bedroom. Lu Zhizhi's heartbeat slowed down and he picked up a golf club placed against the wall next to him.

"Xiao Tao? Liu Shu's mother? Is anyone still there?"

The room was quiet, except for the sound of something falling from the cabinet.

Lu Zhizhi saw that Officer Yang's call could not be reached, so he hung up temporarily and walked to the bedroom door with his golf club.

The warm orange light from inside shone through, and she pushed most of the door open with her elbow. When she saw a pair of legs hanging from the bed, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

When she pushed the door open completely, the scene before her took her breath away.

Liu Shu, whose neck had been cut, was lying on the bed and twitching continuously. Most of the sheets were stained with blood. A remote control fell into the pool of blood, which she had just dropped with her hand.

Lu Zhizhi panicked, pulled some hair from the bathroom and came in to hold her neck, "How could this happen!"

Liu Shu moved her mouth and stared at her, wanting to say something. However, her throat was completely severed and her vocal cords were damaged. She could not pronounce a syllable.

She struggled to point her finger in the direction of the study, tears welling up in her eyes, and she tried her best to form a few words.

"Help uh."

Lu Zhizhi understood what she meant and said tremblingly: "Xiao Tao is in the study?"

Liu Shu blinked and pushed her with his hand.

Save her daughter.

"Wait a minute, I'll call an ambulance right away."

Lu Zhizhi raised her hand to press her neck, dialed 120 with shaking hands, and hurried to the study.

She held a stick and broke into the study room. The window inside was wide open. There was so much blood on the children's table that it dripped to the floor. She saw the little girl lying on the table with a knife inserted into the back of her neck.

The moment Lu Zhizhi saw it, her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand. She held on to the door frame and took a deep breath. This was a greater shock to her than seeing Liu Shu's throat cut.

She didn't even dare to get close, to see Xiao Tao in such miserable condition.

Lu Zhizhi bit his lip hard, walked to the desk while holding on to the wall, and shook his hands to push back the hair covering the child's cheeks.

Her eyes were wide open, staring straight at the wall in front of her. Her irises were white and covered with a layer of gray, without any focus.

"Xiao Tao?"
