This moment is 0:00 on January 1, 2016, a new year, a new day, and a new second.

New Year's Day.

The New Year atmosphere that has been brewing in Yamaki City for a long time has reached its strongest peak, especially in this most special second.

Snow represents nirvana in the eyes of some people, but there is another word called "Auspicious snow indicates good harvest".

"Bang bang bang!"

Countless dazzling fireworks rose into the sky at this second and bloomed at the highest point. The colorful light replaced the dark clouds pressing on the head.

It took a long time to snow, but at this moment, the red fireworks became so beautiful and festive.

There was the sound of bursting firecrackers beside my ears, and there were the neon lights of tall buildings flashing in front of me. What was sucked into my lungs was the smell of gunpowder that filled the entire city.

There were so many cars coming and going on the street at midnight, even there were so many pedestrians, even in Qingtian Campus, a not-so-human street.

Ji Li parked outside the door of Tiannan Drama Academy with a cane, staring at the fireworks and heavy snow in the sky, silently.

He didn't think it was beautiful, he was just noisy, which made him a little annoyed.

A girl wearing a white down jacket held two fireworks sticks and ran away quickly from him, and her shoulder hit Ji Li's handbag.

The girl did not stop, but just turned around while running, and showed him a unique charm of youth.

Ji Li's eyes followed the girl and kept watching her running from one end of the road to the other end.

A taxi heard him at the right time, and the window fell, and the driver showed a warm smile on his face and raised his head:

"Happy New Year, do you want to take a bus?"

Ji Li moved his eyes from the girl's running back to the driver, reached out and opened the rear door, and sat in.

He did not respond to this Happy New Year because he began to show auditory hallucinations and visions that seemed to be there.

The driver did not reduce the joy of the New Year because of Ji Li's indifference. He drove the taxi on the road very powerfully, reflecting his excitement at this moment.

"Haha, you're lucky, this place is not easy to take a taxi."

"I was about to go home after I delivered the previous passenger, but I happened to meet you. After delivering this order, I went home."

The driver is a young man, who looks about the same age as Ji Li, but he may be a cheerful and optimistic person, so he looks younger.

Ji Li didn't say anything, he quietly glanced out the window, looking at the backward fireworks and the New Year banners between the buildings.

From time to time, some businesses can be seen doing New Year's activities late at night, and the flow of people around the activity center is also very high.

The driver said a little too much, but Ji Li never chatted with him, but she kept saying it.

This made Ji Li's already irritable heart more emotional fluctuations. He looked at the people who were playing on the street and heard the driver's words, and his eyes began to turn red.

“It’s a new year.

The new year will not be good at all, it will only get worse and worse.

You, you, and you, why are you doing the New Year? Why did Yu Guo die one second before the New Year?"

The redness in Ji Li's eyes began to increase. Second and third personality felt abnormally awakened and kept soothing his emotions in his mind.

But what lingers in his ears is not only the harsh sound of firecrackers.

There is also Yu Guo’s voice: “Happy New Year”…

Ji Li looked at the backgroun with hatred, and saw the driver still laughing without any notice:

"Brother, don't blame me for talking too much. I am really happy. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"Do you know? My fiancée and I, who have been running for seven years, will get married after the Spring Festival this year."

"She just sent me a WeChat message asking me to collect the car early, but she still has to make money. The mortgage burden is quite heavy, but after completing this order, I will go back."

"Nothing matters is important to celebrate the New Year with her, right?"

Ji Li had a little tinnitus, but he could hear the driver clearly.

Looking from the mirror, the driver's face was changed to Yu Guo's face.

Ji Li sat in the back seat and watched Yu Guo show a smile from the bottom of his heart while driving, he was in a daze.

He watched Yu Guo park the car at the red light, took out a bouquet of flowers from the passenger seat, and shook it in front of his eyes as if showing off.

Every word is hidden in that happy smile, telling your expectations for the new year and your wish to join hands with your loved one for life.

The evil spirit in Ji Li's eyes slowly faded away, his expression returned to calm, and even the noise in his ears disappeared.

The sound of firecrackers in the surrounding environment, the people celebrating the New Year, and the driver who put the flowers back to the passenger seat were still talking...

Ji Li turned his gaze out the window again. He no longer listened to the driver's happiness, immersed in the New Year atmosphere, and lit a cigarette.

Second, the third personality finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

The air is getting colder and the location is getting more and more erratic.

The whistling warm wind could not resist the coldness of the moat water, and penetrated into the car through the gaps in the car window, making Ji Li a little cold.

This is the closest commercial street outside the Seventh Branch, but it looks much colder than the city center.

There are only a few pedestrians, and a few shops are still active.

After driving for nearly forty minutes, Ji Li's destination was almost here.

The driver stopped talking more than ten minutes ago because he found that Ji Li had never responded to him.

The last section of the road.

Ji Li leaned his head against the car window, and continued to torture his spirit with the coldness to keep him awake. Looking at the people passing by, the scenery, he was enjoying the peace.

He saw another girl wearing a white down jacket.

The girl was still holding two fireworks sticks and running from the street to the end of the street, her face filled with uncontrollable joy and passion.

But these two girls are not the same person. The one he sees now is a little younger, about fourteen or fifteen years old.

In the second meeting, Ji Li no longer had the previous irritability. He just watched quietly and treated him as a passerby.

Another shop on the commercial street turned off the lights, which was a pharmacy.

The girl was running past its store, and suddenly turned off the lights and seemed to startle her, so she stopped and glanced at the store, and then ran away again.

Ji Li's eyes did not change, he was just dazed like the plum sound.

But then, the next scene changed his eyes.

The girl was about to continue running to the end of the street when suddenly a black shadow appeared from the alley. She pressed the girl's mouth with her left hand and picked up the girl's waist with her right hand.

Because he appeared too fast and the recent pharmacy turned off the lights, the viewing angle was unclear.

Ji Li could only see him wearing a wide black robe, about 1.7 meters tall, and a baseball cap.

The girl did not make any sound, or the sound could not be heard in the driving car, and was immediately dragged into the alley by the black shadow and disappeared from then on.
