In Nan'an Alley, the old city of Z City, on a deserted dark alley, a woman in her twenties passed by alone.

A girl who just graduated from college came to City Z alone because of work. In this bustling metropolis, countless people like her move from all over the country with dreams in mind every year, but they are defeated by the helpless reality.

With the meager salary of an intern, she could only rent a rental house in this old city far away from the city center.

And every time she goes home from get off work, the dark path she has to pass always makes the girl's heart beat faster.

Due to disrepair, most of the street lights on both sides of the road were broken, and the dim light emitted by the three or two remaining light bulbs could only illuminate a small area directly below the street lights.

The narrow and old streets, the broken street lamps that emit dim light, and the low and peeling exterior walls of the buildings on both sides of the road are all a scene from a classic horror movie.

Every time I pass this dark alley in Nan'an Alley after get off work, the girl always feels a little fussy inside.

She subconsciously quickened her pace, and the high heels under her feet hit the asphalt pavement, making a long series of "click, click, click" footsteps.

Trying hard to suppress the fear in her heart, the girl tightly held the strap of her handbag in one hand and held her mobile phone in the other hand, using the flashlight function to illuminate the road and walked quickly.

Different from the nervousness in the past, the girl always felt a particularly palpitating feeling when she walked into this narrow path today, as if there was some unknown danger lurking in the darkness.

Although she kept comforting herself that she walked this road every day and there would be no danger, the uneasiness deep in her heart could not be completely eradicated no matter what.

In order to end the feeling of fear as soon as possible, the girl speeded up again, thinking about walking towards the other end of the road as soon as possible. As soon as she walked out of this dark alley, there was a wide road in front of her. There were not only well-lit street lights, but also occasional

There will also be vendors setting up night stalls and pedestrians passing by.

Keep thinking about crowded scenes in my mind, which can alleviate some of the uneasiness, and the panic pace at my feet gradually becomes much calmer.

But suddenly, an unknown black shadow swished across the low wall on one side.

The girl, who was already highly nervous, subconsciously trembled all over.

He stopped stiffly, carefully tilted the light of his mobile phone, and quickly glanced at the left wall with the corner of his eye.

Fortunately, I didn't see anything unusual. They were probably wild cats. The girl comforted herself and walked forward again.

But after taking a few steps, another black shadow crossed the wall on the right.

This time, out of the corner of her eye, the girl clearly saw a black shadow the size of a basketball sliding tightly against the straight wall.

"This is a wild cat... it must be a wild cat, right?" The girl comforted herself in a voice that only she could hear. However, it could be seen from her trembling shoulders and sweaty palms that this self-comfort did not do much.

function.

The girl continued to move forward with difficulty. When the girl passed directly under a street lamp, a "ha" sound like a baby's babbling suddenly came from a few meters behind her.

Her body froze in place again. Since the streetlight directly above her head happened to be one of the few that was still shining normally, the girl happened to be standing under a dim beam of light at this time, like an actor at the center of a stage play.

, every action becomes very dramatic.

Turning her head with difficulty, the girl looked towards the direction where the sound came from, only to find that behind her was still the dark and silent narrow passage, without any existence that could make any sound at all.

A slightly crying voice came from the girl's mouth: "Is there anyone? Is there someone there?"

But no answer came for a long time, just the howling cold wind blowing the dead trees on both sides of the road making a rustling sound.

After waiting in place for a few seconds, the girl turned around again and prepared to move on. However, looking at the road shrouded in darkness not far ahead, the girl had the illusion that it would be safer to stay under this streetlight.

The moment she made up her mind and prepared to step out of the streetlight range, a strange shadow once again crossed the wall beside her. This time, a black unknown object disappeared on her left side.

Right above the wall.

The girl took a big step to the right in fear, and the high heels under her feet almost broke her ankles. As soon as she regained her balance, she held up her mobile phone and pointed it towards the wall beside her.

With tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, the girl searched around on the wall for a few seconds and found that the unknown black object was still the same as before, disappearing without a trace.

This time, she couldn't stand the terrifying and depressing atmosphere anymore, so she threw off the high heels like crazy, and ran forward as if she was running away, regardless of the stinging sensation on the soles of her feet caused by the hard surface.

After running for dozens of meters, and seeing she was about to reach the end of the alley, the exhausted girl stopped again under another glowing streetlight.

She bent over and took a few deep breaths. The fatigue caused by the high-speed running briefly dissipated the fear in her heart. Even though it was a cold winter night, beads of sweat the size of rice grains mixed with tears slid down her cheeks.

There are still a few meters left, so just walk out and turn the corner to the next road. There will definitely be pedestrians on that road.

The girl comforted herself while bending over with her hands on her knees and breathing heavily.

Suddenly, her eyes widened as she stared at her own shadow cast by the street lamp, and an extremely frightened expression appeared on her face.

Under the illumination of the street lamp, the girl cast a black shadow on the ground. However, at the shoulder of the shadow, there was another weird black shadow, like the shadow of a person with two heads on the ground.

Judging from this strange and numerous shadow, there is something hanging on the girl's shoulder at this time!

The girl with wide eyes stared at the shadow on the ground, making a "gurgling" sound from deep in her throat due to extreme panic.

The muscles in her whole body became inoperable due to trembling, and she mechanically turned her neck slightly. The girl kept her bent posture and looked over her shoulder.

Nothing at all!

how so?!

Frightened, he turned his head to look at the shadow on the ground again, only to realize that this time, the shadow formed by the strange unknown object ran over his head.

Beads of sweat fell from her forehead. This time, the girl no longer had the courage to check what kind of thing was on her head. Even her legs were frozen in place as if she had lost control of them, unable to move.

Suddenly, the few remaining street lamps in the entire street that were still emitting light actually made sparks and crackles. Several light bulbs went out at the same time, and even the light from the girl's mobile phone was swallowed up by darkness in an instant.

As if being pulled by some invisible force, thick clouds gathered, covering the crescent moon in the sky in an instant.

In an instant, the entire street was plunged into darkness.

At the same time, in the city center dozens of kilometers away from here, in a luxuriously decorated hotel box, a sexy beauty wearing a snow-white turtleneck sweater on her upper body and a pair of denim hot pants on her lower body put down half of a king crab leg in her hand.

, raised his head with a slightly puzzled expression and glanced at the crescent moon hanging high in the clear sky, always feeling vaguely weird.

"What's wrong, Master?" Her strange expression was noticed by Lu Liang, who was sitting at the opposite table, and he raised his head and asked curiously.

"It's okay, I just think the moon is a bit strange." The woman waved her hand nonchalantly and replied casually.

Lu Liang didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the subject worriedly: "Master... Well, we have been eating from noon to now. I don't think you were let off the hook, right?"

"

Upon hearing her disciple's question, the woman's jade-smooth forehead raised a few veins, and she gritted her teeth and said, "How dare they! I'll skin that brat from the Zhong family alive."

However, her harsh words did not bring much peace of mind to her apprentice. Instead, she asked even more worriedly: "That master? We haven't left until now... Could it be because you ordered a bunch of the most expensive dishes?"

Pay the bill?"

"Shut up and eat your food!" the woman scolded, interrupting Lu Liang's "rebellious" remarks that were about to come out.

Being stared at fiercely by his master, Lu Liang did not dare to ask any more questions, so he could only continue to bury his head in front of the pile of food on the table...

…

In the early morning, many migrant workers who needed to pass through Nan'an Alley to go to work at the subway station in the old city were all stopped at the entrance of the alley by a sudden warning cord.

Seeing the four or five police cars blocking the entrance of the alley and the two police officers blocking the road, these workers at the lowest level of society all took the long way around.

After passing through the layers of blockades and the busy police at the scene, under a street lamp less than ten meters away from the entrance of the alley, a large amount of blood stained the asphalt ground red, and a young woman with a miserable death condition lay lying on her back.

Under the streetlight, the woman's eyes were wide open in fear, her limbs were all twisted and deformed, and her head seemed to have been hit hard. The sides of her skull were slightly sunken, forming two dents on her head.

What caused the fatal injury was that the woman's chest and lower abdomen were brutally cut open. The bright red organs were clearly visible through the tear, and the blood all over the floor was flowing from this torn wound.

And what is even more chilling is that on the ground and walls not far from the deceased, there is a long series of strange symbols of unknown meaning drawn with his blood.

Beside the wall not far from the body, Fang Qinzheng was rubbing her forehead with a tired look on her face. Because of the two vicious murder cases that have recently occurred in City Z, all the staff in her department have been under high intensity for many days in a row.

The case is under investigation.

Just after four o'clock in the morning yesterday, Fang Qin, who had stayed up all night to participate in the case analysis, received a notice that a third similar case to the previous one was found in Nan'an Alley in the old city. As soon as she received the notice, she took the

The team rushed here.

However, when she arrived, the scene was as tragic and strange as it is now.

"Officer Fang! This way."

Just as Fang Qin was trying to control his groggy brain and trying to analyze the scene, a man's voice came from not far away.

He raised his eyes slightly and saw a young man wearing a gray and white casual suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses holding two cups of coffee, passing through the blockade of several police officers and walking towards Fang Qin.

The first impression given by this man's appearance is that he is stunning, because his appearance really should not belong to a man. The smooth and delicate skin on his face and hands exposed outside his clothes is enough to make 90% of women go crazy with jealousy.

With a neutral face and delicate facial features, if you ignore the slightly raised Adam's apple in your throat, you would be a disaster for a beauty.

Seeing the person coming, Fang Qin's ugly face softened slightly. He stepped forward and took a cup of coffee from the other person's hand, took a sip, and then said: "Have you seen the situation at the scene? Help me analyze it.

What clue?"

The good-looking man just lowered his head and took a sip of another cup of coffee in his hand, and said: "Actually, analyzing things is really not my strong point, especially this kind of vicious serial murder case. Although this killer may think that this way of killing is

It's very artistic, but if you repeat it too much, you will always find the rules. I do have some guesses now, but I'd better not say anything before confirming them, otherwise it will disturb your vision. "

Hearing what the other party said, Fang Qin frowned and asked, "How do you need to confirm your guess?"
