In the silence, there was only the sound of rain falling.

Ji Jue looked at all this blankly, and for a long time, he fell down on the threshold.

Tired to death.

"What the hell is this!"

He opened his stiff fingers, threw the railing he was clinging to on the ground, and looked around - the desolate courtyard was still quiet. Fortunately, Ji Jue's house was relatively remote, and the nearest two families had moved away long ago.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be countless riots by now.

He held the phone in his hand and wanted to call the police several times, but the moment he dialed the number, he suddenly hung up.

Call the police?

How to report? What did you say? An old man broke into my house, ate my plain-cut chicken, smashed my front door and refrigerator door, and wanted to eat me? Corpse? Oh, it was burned to ashes, and it’s in the mud. You

Look, I am absolutely innocent and I was acting in self-defense.

Is it useful?

Over the past decade or so, Yacheng's security budget has been getting smaller and smaller each year, public security has become increasingly chaotic, and the police have become more and more impersonal. It is said that the new governor can't stand it, and he planned to outsource all police operations when he first took office.

Besides... they all turned to gray.

Ash.

Ji Jue looked at the two tattered clothes and sighed helplessly.

What the hell are you planning on?

Yesterday, he hit me on his tricycle, but today he just came over to bite me... and finally turned into ashes and disappeared!

Why!

Just to tell me how sweet you smell, brother? And then leave a permanent psychological shadow on an unlucky child?

Are you crazy?!

No, that look really couldn't be called sober, it was full of madness from beginning to end, and... that bloody ectoplasm that was definitely not found in ordinary people was hidden in his body like a living thing, no, more like a parasite.

What the hell is that?

In the confusion and panic, he felt his phone vibrate suddenly, the cracked screen lit up, and a familiar name appeared, which made him stunned for a moment, and then he felt calm.

Lu Feng!

Brother Feng served in the Middle Earth for four years. He rolled in a mud pit as a paratrooper and came back alive. Although he never mentioned those past things to anyone, from the dense tattoos and those things he left to his younger brothers and sisters,

Judging from the toy medals, I must have experience in this kind of thing.

"Hello? Brother Feng!"

Ji Jue answered the phone and mustered up his courage: "Listen to me, I..."

"Xiao Ji, is it convenient for you now?"

Lu Feng's voice on the phone was hoarse: "Come to Keats Hospital."

He said: "Something happened to Mom."

Ji Jue shivered.

Like being struck by lightning.

Half an hour later, Ji Jue, who didn't bother to clean up his face and changed his clothes randomly, rode his eight-hand motorcycle through the stagnant water and rushed to the hospital.

In the hospital that was almost packed with people, the corridors were filled with temporary beds. The air was filled with a stale smell. Although the musty smell was not obvious after repeated washing, it still could not be ignored.

Common people who cannot afford to go to private hospitals or pay the thousands of yuan bill for a single registration consultation, apart from a few public hospitals that have queues until the end of next year, the only ones they can count on are charity hospitals sponsored by the Sogo Church.

While the nurses and doctors were running around in a hurry, Ji Jue finally found Lu's mother in the corridor outside the consulting room.

"Oh, it's nothing serious. It's just a bump. It has nothing to do with it. That little puppy just likes to make a fuss."

Mother Lu, who still had a bandage on her face and more than half of her short hair shaved off, waved her hand and forced out an indifferent smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm fine."

I didn't see the youngest and youngest. They should stay at home and do their homework at the moment.

Lu Feng kept his head silent and squatted at the door outside the corridor to smoke while holding a piece of paper and waiting for the test report.

"What's going on?"

Ji Jue looked at the bandages on her arms and the scars on her face, and was dumbfounded. The eyes of the second girl Lu Ling who was accompanying her were obviously red, and she kept blaming herself: "I should have accompanied my mother to visit the store last night.

Yes, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault.”

Lu's mother slapped her on the back of the head: "You? Are you one more person, going to deliver food to the robbers? Maybe robbing money will turn into robbing sex!"

Last night, in the early hours of the morning, a thief broke into the auto repair shop and rummaged through the cabinets.

Lu Feng went out to meet his comrades for a drink and didn't come back. The second girl was studying at home and taking care of the two children. The only one who looked after the store was Mother Lu. After being awakened, Mother Lu stared and roared, grabbing a wrench that was longer than Ji Jue's arm.

He tried his best to fight the thief, but he couldn't beat the four hands with his fists. He was in the dark, got hit on the back of the head, fell into coma, and was almost kidnapped.

If he hadn't been lucky and the thief had encountered a late-night snack cart closing the stall when he was moving people around, and had been recognized by the old lady pushing the cart, no one would have seen him again.

Who knows where it will be sold.

When Ji Jue thought about the consequences, he felt frightened and felt cold all over.

"Oh, it's okay, just a small problem."

Mother Lu patted her chest, raised her arm, which was thicker than Ji Jue's thigh, and shook it: "My body is in good shape, isn't it still alive and kicking?"

"It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay."

Ji Jue didn't know what to say and sat paralyzed next to Lu's mother. He hesitated several times and felt even more frightened and powerless than when he was almost alive.

Over the years, an orphan without a father or a mother has been living alone in Yacheng. How difficult it is for outsiders to understand. But without the care and shelter of Ma Lu, Ji Jue would have been in a state of death long ago.

Let’s not mention the car-repairing skills that are taught to everyone...Tianmen University is the leading university in Haizhou and one of the five federal schools. It is so difficult to get into and change your life that almost every student feels suffocated.

.If it weren’t for Mother Lu’s unwavering support, Ji Jue would now be a promising Tianmen student?

Have sweet dreams about your mother!

Let’s split up the Nanzhankou train station and pier, boy!

Now that he saw that Mother Lu was fine, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, when he leaned next to Mother Lu, a message that made his hair stand on end appeared in front of him once again...

[Abnormal spiritual quality detected, should you absorb it? 】

Ji Jue's smile froze on his face.

Turning around with difficulty, looking at Mama Lu who was pale but still smiling forcefully, she swallowed.

On Ma Lu's body... At this moment, when his spiritual essence activated the watch, he could vaguely see the scarlet light under the bandage, like mold.

"Mom Lu, there seems to be some dust on the bandage." Ji Jue raised his hand and gently landed on the bandage, "I'll help you pick it up."

A pattern like a metal matrix reappeared in the palm of the hand. With a moment of contact, all the scarlet color disappeared in a flash. Immediately, the matrix disappeared.

"Oh, you kid, you are so careless..."

Mother Lu screamed in pain, and soon she said with a smile: "Hey, don't say it, I feel much refreshed now, and my chest is no longer tight. It was just when the puppy was given the medicine, it was as if he wanted to kill his own mother, and he wanted me

He said, I still need to practice more, what are they taught in the army..."

"Mom." The second girl pushed Ma Lu and signaled her to stop talking.

Lu Feng came back after taking the test report, with a slight smile on his gloomy face.

"It's okay, Mom, the wound is just a little bit infected. Just give me two injections of anti-inflammatory drugs and tetanus." He handed over the report: "But I have a slight concussion on my head. The doctor said I need to rest. You can just take good care of yourself at home these days."

Rest, Xiao Ji and I are the ones to worry about in the store."

Of course, Mother Lu refused. She was still thinking about going back and cleaning up the auto repair shop. Lu Feng and Lu Ling could only persuade her for a while, and Ji Jue also tried to persuade her for a long time, but finally gave up the idea.

In fact, none of the four brothers and sisters, including Lu Feng, are Aunt Lu's biological children.

Mother Lu was seriously ill a few years ago. Excessive hormones damaged her body and she never married.

Including Lu Feng, the four children in the store were all picked up by Lu's mother from the street. After so many years of hard work and hard work, the family's relationship is better than that of their own children.

It's a pity that except for the second child who just entered college, no one is good at studying...

It’s no wonder that Mother Lu is so precious to Ji Jue who came to work. Since he came, she has never had high blood pressure because of the youngest’s math and foreign language skills.

After so many years, she has long considered them to be part of the family and has never seen anyone outside.

Now that Lu's mother agreed to rest for a few days, Ji Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

After persuading, Lu Ling took the list to get the medicine, Lu Feng winked at Ji Jue, and the two of them went outside again on the pretext of smoking, and stood under the eaves watching the rain.

Ji Jue doesn't smoke or drink, but Lu Feng is a heavy smoker, a bad habit he brought back from the army.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Feng thanked him: "I was in a panic this morning. I have been so busy until now that my mind is empty."

"How polite are you?" Ji Jue glanced at him and didn't say anything. He just asked, "Does the police have any clues?"

"without."

Lu Feng shook his head, "I hope those gangsters, hey... let us go home and wait. The license plate number is also fake. White vans are everywhere in Beishan District, and we can't find them at all."

"Is there surveillance?"

"There is one in the store, but the face is not photographed. The surveillance outside... has been just a decoration for many years. It has almost broken down long ago."

"..."

In silence, Ji Jue looked at his watch for a long time and suddenly said: "I'll go back to the store and take a look. Maybe I can find some clues."

"Pack it up by the way, otherwise Mom will definitely be too busy. Repair the broken things if they can. If you can't repair them, don't tell her and just throw them away quietly, otherwise you'll feel bad again." Lu Feng patted his shoulder, and then

He hugged me hard and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll get you a new computer later."

Ji Jue rolled his eyes and refused to eat the cake at all: "You just want to change your computer to play games, right?"

"Hahaha, you were right."

Lu Feng grinned, threw away the cigarette butt, and threw the car keys to the second girl: "You will drive mom back later. The family will be relying on you these two days."

"Ah?" Lu Ling stared blankly: "What about you?"

Lu Feng lowered his head and just waved his hand, "I'm going out to check with a few friends to see if there's anything going on. I won't be back tonight."

"...Xiao Feng!"

Seeing him turning around to leave, Mother Lu suddenly raised her voice and wanted to say something, but when she saw him turning around, his lips opened and closed, but she didn't know what to say.

Only, this time I didn't call him by his nickname.

Lu Feng laughed and waved his hand.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll just ask."

He turned around and left, disappearing into the rain.

Half an hour later, Ji Jue raised his hand and opened the rolling shutter door of the auto repair shop.

Saw the mess everywhere.

From the counter to the shelves, everything was overturned.

It wasn't as lighthearted as Mother Lu said. It was completely... a life-and-death struggle with all my strength!

Ji Jue pulled down the roller blind with his backhand and walked towards the counter.

The harmful old man, the strange blood color, and the inexplicable attack.

There are too many things that I don't understand.

You have to leave some clues.
Chapter completed!
