"Old Lei is good in every way, except he's a bit rash. How can you do things like that? Young man, are you alright? I've brought you some water."
Hearing the sound, I instinctively looked up towards the door, feeling a surge of emotion. There were still good police officers out there, not just scum like Lei Yu! But before I could even see the face of the officer who entered, I saw his head plummet straight to the ground, the severed neck as clean as if it had been sliced into tofu with a thread, and several spurts of blood sprayed directly onto the roof! "Ah—!"
I've always looked down on those girls in movies who do nothing but scream, but at this moment I realized that when people are extremely terrified, they really can't do anything but scream. Just now, a perfectly healthy person, just like that, just like that, gone? "What's wrong? What's all the noise about—Holy crap!"
"Old Xing?! Old Xing?!"
"vomit!"
…The noise started to get louder, and a large crowd of men and women began to gather at the door. Listening to their panicked voices, I suddenly felt a little calm. It turns out that police officers are also human. They can feel fear when they encounter such things, and they can vomit when they see disgusting scenes.
"Fang Shuang! What have you done?!"
The first person to stand before me was Lei Yu. His eyes were bloodshot, like a wounded beast, looking as if he could devour me alive at any moment. But because of that strange thought I had earlier, I was no longer afraid of him.
“I’ll repeat myself, I didn’t do anything, and you saw it yourself.”
"屮!"
At this point, Lei Yu could do nothing but curse. He clenched his fist, and I thought he was going to punch me in the face the next second. But instead, he rushed to the wall and slammed his fist down against it.
"Crap crap crap!..."
Amidst the shouts of curses, Lei Yu knocked off a layer of plaster from the wall. I suddenly felt sorry for this man. Like me, he was just a powerless ordinary person who couldn't do anything when faced with something so obviously abnormal.
"Lei...Officer Lei...? Comrade Lei, everyone has their own fate. You're not the one who's unlucky in this situation, so just calm down."
"What do you know?!"
When Lei Yu heard me say that, he rushed up to me and grabbed me off the stool.
Looking at that furious face, I felt no sense of vengeful satisfaction. I might end up like that dead policeman in the next second, so naturally I was in a very bad mood.
"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. Would you believe me if I said there's something evil in there?"
Lei Yu held me tightly like that, and I glared back at him disdainfully. Compared to the filthy thing, Lei Yu was practically a harmless cat.
"I'll find out the truth myself. Just don't let me find out you're involved in this."
Lei Yu eventually put me down and began to deal with the dead policeman's body with his colleagues. After cleaning it up, they started a new interrogation.
This interrogation was much more normal. There was no telephone, no glaring desk lamp, and someone even gave me water. However, I was very depressed and didn't want to say anything. The police didn't have much to ask either; they just kept asking about the scene of the police officer being killed earlier.
Finally, seeing that I couldn't say anything more, the police actually let me go, and Lei Yu drove me back to my rented room.
I got out of the car, and Lei Yu grabbed my hand again, staring at me with bloodshot eyes.
"If you find anything, you must tell me. I'm the one who made it out today, understand?"
"I won't thank you for this, because you won't believe anything I say."
"No, I believe it. Some things won't be recorded in the police station. This is my phone number. If you know anything, you must tell me. I'll give you time to think about it."
Remember, no matter how absurd!
Lei Yu simply handed me a note and then walked away.
I looked at the note in my hand. I was about to throw it in the trash can, but a strange impulse made me stop. I crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it into my pocket.
"Your shadow has disappeared again."
"—!"
A sound suddenly came from next to me, which startled me in the middle of the night.
I turned around and saw the old beggar standing behind me. It was the first time I had ever seen the old beggar with such a serious expression, but after spending time with him, I couldn't be serious with him anymore.
"It's you. I could have lived a few more days, but I'd probably be scared to death by you today."
"Just a few more days? You're too confident in yourself. You're already dead, you know that?"
I wanted to argue back, but the things that had happened lately had completely drained me of energy, and I didn't feel anything when the old beggar said that.
"You say I'm dead, so be it. You can't solve my problems anyway. Can't you just let me die in peace?"
When the old beggar heard what I said, his face immediately fell.
I couldn't be bothered with him, so I turned to leave, but the old beggar grabbed me. Although the old beggar's arm was as thin as a piece of firewood, he was really strong. I felt like the person holding me was not a person, but a cow.
"Kid, be more polite when you talk to the elderly in the future."
"Get out of my way! I'm telling the truth. If you can solve this, I'll kowtow three times to you, become your disciple, and beg with you. If you can't, then leave me alone!"
I struggled, but I couldn't break free from the old beggar at all. Instead, the old beggar laughed, revealing his blackened teeth, and gave me a sinister smile.
"Become my disciple? You think you're worthy?! There are plenty of people who want to become my disciples, enough to stretch from Tiananmen Square to West Lake. Who do you think you are!"
"Anyone can brag. The line of people wanting to take me on as a disciple could stretch from the North Pole to the South Pole! Who do you think you are?"
I was a little intimidated by this unusually strong old man, but I didn't back down. I was a dead man, what could this old man do to me? "Young man, today I'll show you what it means to be blind to someone's worth! What it means to bite the hand that feeds you."
I don't recognize it..."
"Don't you recognize your heartless and treacherous nature?"
The old beggar was really annoyed by my retort and kept rolling his eyes.
I ignored him and continued to struggle. Suddenly, the old beggar grabbed my neck and lifted me up like a chicken about to be slaughtered. I kicked my legs in mid-air and screamed in a distorted voice.
"Sir, sir, I was wrong!"
"snort!"
The old beggar put me down and snorted coldly. I sat on the ground and started coughing loudly.
"Today I'll show you a thing or two, and let you know how many eyes Lord Horse has!"
"I actually know that, there are three of them."
"You know that? Well, let me tell you then..."
