"Chen An, breakfast is on the table. I'm going to work first. You should get up quickly. It's almost eight o'clock."

In the early morning, Xia Qin hurriedly urged Chen An to wake up in her sleep. When he opened his eyes and woke up, he heard the sound of the door shutting heavily. He yawned and got up to the living room, and casually glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It was 8:02.

The working hours of him and Xia Qin are different. Xia Qin has to check in at the newspaper at 8:30, while he officially starts work at 9:00. When he first worked, the two would get up at the same time and take a bus to the company. Later, due to busy work, the two gradually staggered the time for getting up and going to work.

Halfway through brushing teeth in the bathroom, Chen An suddenly stopped his hand. He raised his head and glanced at the mirror on the wall. He suddenly saw a blue-purple pinching mark on his neck. He reached out to poke it lightly. Although it didn't hurt, it was hindering. It was inevitable that others would have gossip when they saw it.

After washing up, Chen An put on his clothes, especially his neck was covered tightly with a collar. He looked in front of the mirror several times and confirmed that no one could see the problem before he came to the table to enjoy the breakfast that Xia Qin bought.

"Uncle, are you ready to help Xinxin take revenge?"

Clinker He had just eaten two bites of buns, and a tender voice sounded out of thin air in his mind made him lose his appetite.

Chen An turned his head stiffly and looked at the shoe cabinet at the door. A little girl in red stood there quietly, staring at him with pale eyes.

"...Uncle has to go to work later, and after get off work, the uncle has time to help Xinxin avenge!" Chen An said in silence for a moment. "Xinxin, you should know what it is to go to work, right?"

"I know, my parents often leave me alone at home because of work." The little girl in red said with a expressionless face.

"But if parents don't go to work, they will not be able to make money to support Xinxin, nor can they buy delicious and fun things for Xinxin." Chen An tried his best to make his voice full of persuasion. "Uncle is the same. If uncle doesn't go to work, he will not be able to avenge Xinxin."

"Uncle, do you think Xinxin is a kindergarten child so easily deceived?" The little girl in red glanced at Chen An deeply. "Xinxin will only give her uncle three days. Once she does not help Xinxin revenge within three days, you should take care of herself..."

As the words came, the figure of the little girl in red gradually disappeared into the air.

Bang—

Chen An angrily clenched his fists and smashed them on the table, his breathing became rapid. After a long time, he finally calmed down.

Just from the little girl in red almost killed him on the rooftop, she could tell that she was an incomprehensible evil spirit! She turned her back immediately if she was not in line with her wishes. The problem was that she had to endure humiliation and seek complete due to the threat from the other party.

He was afraid of death, and even more afraid of innocent people implicating Xia Qin.

He was already very restrained by himself, but in the end he realized that he could not calm down, be rational, or be calm. But he had no way to deal with the little girl in red. This feeling of powerlessness and aggrievance made people suffer painfully at all times.

Why? Why is this? He asked himself.

Why did the twenty-four years of life, an ordinary life that was neither salty nor light, turn completely in one night? He was obviously just an ordinary person, so why did these messy things come to him?

...

...

"Chen An, are you still feeling uncomfortable today? Do you want to take leave and go to the clinic for a check-up?"

company.

Lao Liang patted Chen An on the shoulder and called him from the office to the corridor, with a serious expression.

As Chen An's superior leader, Lao Liang is still very optimistic about Chen An, a newcomer who has just arrived in the company for half a year. He has a positive and serious attitude towards work, a humble and polite personality, and his relationships between colleagues are very harmonious. Such employees and subordinates do not find any flaws. Yesterday, Chen An and his friends came back from a business trip. Lao Liang learned from Song Gang that Chen An was not in good health and did not return to the company. This is understandable. After all, when he was young, sometimes when he was on a business trip, he would inevitably encounter unacceptable situations when he was not suitable for the local environment.

But at the meeting today, Chen An always seemed absent-minded. He called his name several times, but he had not reacted for a long time. There was no doubt that Lao Liang was very dissatisfied with his work attitude today.

But he did not say it clearly, but used a tactful way of speaking.

"Sorry, Manager Liang, I feel deeply guilty for my work attitude today." Chen An of course heard the subtext in Lao Liang's words and quickly admitted his mistake as soon as possible.

"Xiao Chen, you know that I have always been optimistic about your work ability. I also see your performance on weekdays. If nothing unexpected happens, your transformation next year is a foregone conclusion, but if you start to live a life of being alone now, sorry, I will be the first person to reject your transformation in the future." Lao Liang said in a stern tone. "If you are not feeling well, or if you have anything at home, I can approve you to take leave, but you have nothing to do, I hope you will not be lazy, and don't bring other emotions to your work."

"I understand Manager Liang." Chen An said with his head down.

"Remember what I said! You can go back to work now." After Lao Liang said that, he shook his head and left the corridor.

Back at the office, Ling Tao, a colleague closest to Chen An’s desk, looked around and took the opportunity to step forward and cover his mouth and whisper.

"Chen An, have you been criticized?"

"Yes." Chen An said in a daze.

"I have reminded you several times in the meeting before, but you are still crazy. What happened? What made you absent-minded?" Ling Tao had a strong gossip.

"No, I just didn't have a good rest last night."

Chen An forced a smile. Of course he would not say that during the meeting, the little girl in red stood on the stage in the conference room. As a result, more than 20 people were present, including Lao Liang, who was hosting the meeting on the stage. No one except him saw the little girl. How could he concentrate on listening at the meeting?

"Tsk, it's boring." Ling Tao curled his lips and sat back on his seat.

It is related to his job, Chen An dared not be negligent and slack. After working all day, he almost left the little girl's affairs behind when he got off work.

Until I got off work and arrived at the station to take the public tram home, the voice of the little girl in red suddenly rang out in her mind.

"Uncle, have you forgotten something?"

“…”

His eyes subconsciously glanced to his right hand, and the little girl in red looked at him with a strange smile.

Without saying a word, Chen An turned around and left the station to the remote and deserted alley nearby. He leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, looking at the little girl in red who followed him all the way and gritted her teeth.

"Tell me, how do you want me to avenge you!"

"Uncle, come with me."

The little girl in red waved at her with a smile, turned around and took him to another station, and took a public tram that was completely opposite to the route home.

After a while, the tram stopped at a station in Nancheng District. The little girl in red floated out of the car. Chen An quickly followed. As he walked, the night had already quietly arrived. One person and one ghost suddenly stopped in a residential area.

"Why did you bring me here?" Nancheng District and Nanshan District are only one word different. Although the two urban areas are in the same direction, Nanshan District has been demolished early and the urban renovation was completed in advance. The construction and development are far beyond the reach of Nancheng District. He remembered that the little girl died in Nanshan District, but she brought herself to Nancheng District. Is there any intention here?

"Uncle, the person who killed Xinxin lives here."

The little girl in red pointed her hand at the residential area ahead to explain his doubts.

"Do you know where he lives in such a large residential area?" Chen An looked at the low and crowded large residential buildings in front of him and frowned.

"I don't know." The little girl in red said in a cold voice. "Because Xinxin dare not get too close to it, otherwise the evil man would find Xinxin."

"Then do you know what the other party looks like?" Chen An said in a deep voice.

"The evil man seemed to be as big as his uncle, but he was not as good-looking as his uncle. Xinxin remembered that his hair was a little long, his eyes were a little small, his lips were a little thick, and his beard was a little messy..." the little girl in red described.

"...Then is there anything different from others' appearance?" According to the little girl's description, a lot of such people could be found on the streets, so Chen An had to remind him again and stress.

"I remember that there was a conspicuous black mole on the lips of the evil man." The little girl thought.

"Do you have a mole? I understand." Chen An nodded thoughtfully. "But it's already very late today. If you want to find the evil person you are talking about, you can be said to be looking for a needle in a haystack..."

"Uncle, are you going back like this?" Before Chen An finished speaking, the little girl interrupted roughly.

"..." Chen An knew that the little girl was staring at him fiercely without having to look at him. If he didn't do anything, the little girl wouldn't give up easily. "...I understand, you can wait for me here."

After saying that, he strides towards the dim residential area ahead. Chen An seems to be looking for something along the way. When he sees a grocery store with lights on, he immediately walks over.

"Boss, I want to ask you for personal information."

The boss is an old man in his fifties. He lay on a chair with a thick cotton coat on his body. He closed his eyes and seemed to be immersed in the radio playing opera on the counter. At the same time, he was singing unconsciously tunes in his mouth.

Chen An took out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and slapped it on the counter with heartache, and said softly.

A gap appeared in the old man's eyes. He glanced at the money on the counter and immediately stood up from the chair. He picked up the hundred-dollar bill on the counter and bounced it. After identifying the authenticity, he lazily looked at Chen Andao.

"Young man, who do you want to ask?"

"A man of my age, with long hair, small eyes, thick lips, and a conspicuous black mole on his lips. Have you ever seen this person?" Chen An watched helplessly as the other party put the money into his arms and took a deep breath.

"It seems to be a little impression." The old man thought for a while.

"Do you know where he lives?" Chen An asked quickly.

"I don't know this." The old man yawned. "But you should know it tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, I'll come here again at this time tomorrow."

Chen An immediately understood and turned around and left.

"Uncle, have you gained anything?"

As soon as he left this residential area, Chen An met a little girl in red who appeared before him.

"I have asked someone to inquire. There will be a result tomorrow at the latest. Are you satisfied now?" Chen An said with a stiff tone.

"The day has passed, uncle, you have the last two days left." The little girl in red did not care about Chen An's attitude, and after saying this with a gloomy smile, she disappeared in front of him.

Stopped in place for a moment, let go of his clenched fists, Chen An looked around and walked straight in a certain direction.

It was late at night and he was already hungry. He planned to find a tavern for dinner before going back. He happened to remember that the tavern he had eaten last time was not far from here, so he simply looked for it.

When he walked into the alley, he didn't see any tavern in this alley. To be more precise, there were walls on both sides of the alley.

“…”

Going wrong? No! It's here!

Why is the tavern in this alley missing?

In an instant, Chen An's thoughts solidified, and he felt a bone-broken chill sweeping across his body.
