Chapter 65
Wangcai pulled up the quilt to cover his face, leaving only his eyes exposed. He looked at Shoggoth, and even his forehead turned red.
"I want to rest for a while. How about you go outside and see if the situation outside has changed? Come back and wake me up later, how about that?"
Wangcai asked.
"Okay."
Shoggoth looked at Green, and Green answered.
After leaving the ward, they walked around outside. It
was very quiet outside. Some people were still in a coma, and some had woken up and were ready to go home. They all had their own things to do, so they didn't have time to care about what others were doing.
After the walk, Shoggoth and Green returned to the ward.
Wangcai had returned to normal.
After a while, society had barely returned to normal order.
They all planned to go home.
Wangcai drove a car and took them to his home.
"To celebrate the fact that we are still alive and healthy, why don't we invite some friends over for a party. I'll pay. You guys order the food. Anyway, this place is big enough.
If they don't want to go home at night, they can rest and wait until morning."
Wangcai said to Green.
Green nodded and looked at Shoggoth for his opinion.
Shoggoth agreed, and they began to prepare for the celebration party.
"Who should we send invitations to? Will people around us come? Do we need to invite neighbors?"
Green asked Wangcai for his opinion.
"Cast a wide net and catch more fish.
Send them randomly. Send them anyway. They may not come anyway. Everyone has a lot of things to do. If they are not well-connected or just happen to be free, they probably won't come.
If they come at this time, they are either really happy or really free. No matter which one, I can't think of any possibility of causing trouble. So just send it.
Send it to everyone you can think of, but don't look for people you don't like, so as not to make everyone unhappy when they come."
Wangcai said to Green.
"I know."
Green nodded.
The invitations were all sent out.
Some of them were sent to nearby neighbors, and in this villa community, near Green's residence, there is a villa owned by a friend of Green's former neighbor.
The villa owner, as a neighbor, also received an invitation to the celebration party.
The invitation was collected by the servants and placed on the table in the living room.
The neighbor was still living in his friend's house. He saw the invitation, picked it up, opened it, and found that it was a party held nearby.
He thought that this party was suitable for his current self, so he planned to attend.
Because after he stabbed Green with a knife and ran away, he thought that Green could not survive. The dead Green was a good Green, and the pet without an owner was a bad pet. Shoggoth would definitely die.
No matter whether Shoggoth survived and was reported by him and killed by the relevant department, or lost his owner, became depressed, and starved himself to death, Shoggoth was dead.
In his imagination, it was almost impossible for Shoggoth to have a third way, so although he knew in his heart that Shoggoth was not bound to die, he selectively ignored the possibility that Shoggoth might still be alive.
He is very happy now, and he also feels the need to celebrate. There is a celebration party to be held nearby, and he thinks he has no reason not to attend.
He found his friend with the invitation.
Although his friend was busy, he still listened to his thoughts, nodded, handed him the invitation, and said that he could attend on his behalf.
The neighbor enthusiastically took the invitation to the party.
But he never expected that he would see Green, who seemed to be resurrected from the dead, at the party. He quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find Shoggoth.
But he didn't realize that his looking around attracted the attention of others.
Shoggoth noticed him because of his strange behavior and walked to Green's side.
"I know that man."
Shoggoth said to Green.
"I recognize that man, too. He was my former neighbor."
Green took a look and answered.
"Not only that, he was the one who sent you to the hospital."
Hugus shook his head and said.
"Speaking of which, it seems that I could call the police for the stabbing. Did you call the police?"
Green suddenly remembered something and asked.
"I couldn't call the police at that time because I thought it was more important to send you to the hospital. I don't know what your friend did. You can ask him."
Hugus answered.
Green really went to ask Wangcai.
"Did you call the police?"
Green asked.
"Aren't we celebrating? Is there anything we need to call the police for now?"
Wangcai was stunned for a moment and asked with his eyes wide open.
"We are indeed celebrating, but I'm asking about the incident when I was stabbed and sent to the hospital. Did you call the police?"
Green asked.
"You're talking about that matter. Of course I called the police.
However, the police didn't find anything.
You were lying unconscious in the hospital, and they couldn't ask you any questions. I also had my own things to do, and I didn't know anything more, so I didn't want to deal with them. So they left on their own.
Then, as you know, the Reiki Recovery happened, everyone had problems, and everything was in chaos. But you got better again, and the police asked me once and didn't care about it anymore.
Maybe they were busier than before, so they thought this matter was smaller than other things and didn't need special attention. After confirming your situation, they felt that there was no need to keep paying attention to it. So
they went to deal with other things."
Wangcai replied.
"So that's how it is. I wonder if they will come over right away if we call the police now?"
Green asked.
"If we call the police now, they should come over, but we don't know when they will come over.
If you need help, there are security guards here. I paid for them to ensure the safety of this place, so that you don't get into trouble like last time.
You can always ask the security guards to arrest the person you want to control.
If you need to call the police, you can call the police now. After catching the person, you can directly hand him over to the police who come over, and we won't have anything to do with him."
Wangcai took a sip of wine and answered.
"I think I need to confirm something."
Green looked at Shugs.
"You guessed right, that person is the one who stabbed you, and I was there that day.
I can be sure of this because I don't recognize people by the clothes they wear, but by the smell.
He smells exactly the same as the person who stabbed you that day.
He didn't even change his residence."
Shugus nodded and said affirmatively.
"That's great, let's call the police now."
Green said.
"Then I'll call the police, you stay away from him, in case he suddenly wants to do something to you again.
He may have stabbed you last time, and maybe the time before and before, and the time before and before were all done by him.
It's better to be careful."
Wangcai nodded.
He sent a message, called the police, and walked to a remote and quiet corner. He felt that this place was not safe enough, so he simply walked into a separate room.
When he came out, the call had been disconnected. It seemed that the matter had been settled. He only needed to wait for a while, and the police would arrive at the door in a car.
Green sat at a round table, planning to cut a small cake.
Shoggoth stood beside him vigilantly, always feeling that something might happen later.
And it really happened.
The neighbor who appeared at the door of the party with the invitation letter and was stunned for a moment when he saw Green came to his senses and sat down in a place with fewer people.
But as time went by, his mood did not calm down, but became more and more intense.
He thought, that person should obviously be dead. If he still appears here after death, he is a ghost, a ghost. I killed the ghost, which is a good thing for everyone. I am not wrong at all.
If that person died and came back to life, that means he has come back to life. A person who has come back to life cannot be considered alive and appears in the crowd. He must have other intentions.
It is good for everyone if I kill this ill-intentioned person. There is no reason for them to stop me.
If that person is not dead at all, then I can't bet that he will remember the past but not pursue me. Even if he doesn't remember the past, it is not necessarily that everyone around him has forgotten.
Even if he doesn't pursue the past, the people around him don't look like they are easy to mess with.
I can't give them a chance. If I give them a little more time, maybe they will kill me.
I can't just sit and wait for death. If I keep sitting here waiting for them to solve the problem, then I will die. I don't want to die. I must do something, and do it now.
What can I do?
The neighbor looked around and saw the cake knife. He wanted to stab the person with it, but he thought it was not feasible, so he gave up the plan.
Then he saw a fruit knife.
He suddenly remembered that after he took the fruit knife from Green's house, the fruit knife was only cleaned and sealed. In order to avoid being discovered by others, he always carried it with him.
When he came in, no one checked whether he was carrying any dangerous items, and he just came in.
Now the knife is still on him. He should have thrown away the knife before coming, the farther the better, but he brought it here.
He thought, this is God's will for me to kill someone, and this person must die.
He quietly walked to Green's side.
But he glanced at the alert and sturdy Shoggoth next to Green, hesitated for a moment and did not take out the knife directly, but patted Green carefully.
As if he was very worried about being punched to death by Shoggoth.
Green looked at him and asked, "It's you. What's the matter? My former neighbor."
"I have something to say to you. I wonder if you can go to a private room with me?
There are too many people here, and it's a bit noisy. I'm worried that my voice won't reach your ears accurately."
The neighbor laughed softly.
Green looked at him, he showed a little nervousness and restraint, and smiled.
