Chapter 1 Who am I
The night is as dark as ink...
Rain, the Milky Way pours...
In the pouring rain, there was not a single pedestrian on the street.
A few dim street lamps barely illuminated this small alley.
Under the eaves at the corner of the street, a black cat was standing there quietly.
Its golden eyes were staring at the street not far away. There, there was a man lying in the middle of the road...
Linear raindrops poured on the road, splashing water on Lao Gao. As soon as the water splashed on him, the man's hand suddenly moved. Catching his movement, the black cat opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs.
"Meow~"
The shrill cry resounded through the night sky, sounding like a baby crying...
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Why does my head hurt so much?
Awakened by the cry of the black cat, the man slowly got up. He shook his head and looked around.
What is this place?
Who am I and why am I here?
"Meow~"
Another cat meow attracted the man's attention.
The black cat saw that the man had turned his face and quickly turned his head to the other side. The man looked in the direction it was pointing and saw several men lying on the corner of the street.
These people...
Some pictures flashed through his mind, scenes of him being chased.
Several people forced him here with murder weapons, and then...
The rain was so heavy that none of these people stood up. Looking at them, the man had doubts in his heart.
Who are they? Why do they want to kill me? Did I make them like this?
My head hurts again, it hurts terribly...
The man held his head and gritted his teeth.
After a while, the painful feeling eased slightly. He took a deep breath and quickly turned through his pockets.
No wallet, no ID card, just a piece of soaked paper.
The note was soaked by the rain, and many words were blurred. He could barely make out four words on it:
Blue Flame Hotel!
He slowly got up, staggered towards those people, and rummaged around on them.
Sure enough, these people, like him, had no documents.
No wonder, if he really committed murder, why would he bring his own ID? Now it seems that the only clue is the place pointed on the note.
The rain has lightened up quite a bit and it looks like it should stop soon.
Although this place is remote, it is a street after all. If someone discovers him, then he...
"Meow", the black cat suddenly meowed. It came to the man's feet and kept rubbing the man's trousers.
Looking at the black cat, the man suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Maybe he and the black cat should have known each other for a long time, right?
"I'm going to find the Blue Flame Hotel. Do you know where it is?" After saying that, he laughed to himself.
This was just a cat, what did he say to it? However, the next moment, the black cat nodded, turned and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
The man was stunned for a moment and followed quickly...
After the alley, there is another alley.
When one person and one cat walked to the middle of the alley, the sound of a motorcycle suddenly sounded from the entrance of the alley.
Soon, two motorcycles came from the beginning and end of the alley. They quickly pressed into the man and surrounded him.
"Hey, kid, what do you do? Why are you wandering on the street in the middle of the night?"
"Boy, your home is over there, why don't you go back?"
Several people's questions made him breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that they are not the ones who want to kill him.
"I don't know, I forgot. By the way, do you know how to get to the Blue Flame Hotel?"
Forgot? Several people looked at each other with ambiguous smiles on their faces. They parked their motorcycles against the wall and walked towards the man.
"Hey boy, do you have any money?"
"My brothers are out of money. Let's borrow some money to spend."
"I tell you it's okay, but should you pay a fee?"
"I have no money. However, if I know who I am, I will definitely compensate you."
"Damn, no money, no money, what the hell are you talking about?"
A gangster spat on the ground, and he spat on the black cat.
The black cat's back arched, and the fur on its body suddenly popped up, and it growled at the gangster who spat it out.
"Damn, what's your name? Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
As the gangster said that, he raised his foot and kicked the black cat.
"No!"
The man pushed the gangster with quick eyes and hands, and the gangster immediately flew out.
Looking at his hands, the man was stunned, and the gangsters were also stunned...
"Damn it, beat him!"
The remaining three gangsters rushed towards him, and the man gently raised his hand. After three "Boom, Boom, Boom" sounds, the three of them flew out one after another.
Now he knew how those people were lying on the street...
"Tell me, where is the Blue Flame Hotel?"
"Here, here, after passing this street, turn the corner and walk a few steps and you'll be there."
The gangster looked at him in fear, maybe he was thinking: Who is this person and how can he have such great strength?
The man stood up, turned around and walked forward.
The black cat came to the little gangster and gave him a disdainful look.
Yes, just disdainful!
It didn't take long before the Blue Flame Hotel's sign appeared in front of his eyes.
It looks like a new place, and the handwriting on the sign is also new.
The man walked in. At the reception desk of the hotel, there was a fat man looking at the computer.
"You're here, are you late?" When he saw him coming in, the fat man said without looking back.
There was a smile on the man's face. He said hello to him. He must have known him.
So, he couldn't wait to ask: "Hello, do you know who I am?"
The fat man glanced at him and nodded inexplicably.
"I know!"
"Then, who am I and what do I do?"
"Zhang San, three zero three."
Zhang San? His name is Zhang San? How could he be called Zhang San? Such a perfunctory name sounds fake at first sight.
The fat man saw that he didn't believe it and threw him an ID card and a key from the table.
"Do you believe it now? Come on up, you are at 303. Remember, don't kick my kettle anymore. Also, be careful of the toilet."
Looking at the name on the ID card, he felt a little depressed.
It’s really called Zhang San. Is this a fake name?
He wanted to ask the fat man again, but when he looked up, he found that the fat man was gone. In desperation, he had no choice but to grab the key and walk upstairs.
In a utility room next to him, the fat man was looking at him, holding the phone flatteringly.
"Mother-in-law, he's here."
…
The room was very new and still had a damp smell from the undried paint.
He walked into the room, sat on the bed angrily, and kicked his feet unintentionally.
There was a "bang" sound, and the kettle that was put down under the bed was kicked to pieces, and scalding boiling water flowed out.
At this time, he remembered the fat man's words: Remember, don't kick my kettle again. Also, be careful with the toilet.
After lying on the ground and searching for a long time, he finally found a key among the broken glass. So, he ran into the toilet and started rummaging excitedly...
A few minutes later, he came out with an envelope. He opened the envelope and found a piece of printed paper with four big words at the beginning:
Chapter completed!
