After arriving near the community, Xiao Zhu found a place to park the car. He got out of the car first, while Lu Sheng still sat in the back seat and did not move. Seeing that Lu Sheng had no intention of getting out of the car, Xiao Zhu waited aside.
He stretched his waist and stretched his muscles. After all, he had been sitting at the police station for a whole day.
In the city during the evening rush hour, cars were coming and going, and pedestrians were rushing around. At this time, the gate of the community seemed much livelier than at other times. But the prosperous courtyard in front of Lu Sheng seemed to be shrouded in silence.
The night has not yet completely fallen, and the street lights have not yet been lit. The dark buildings stand straight in front, with scattered lights on, like people hiding in the darkness to peek, but they accidentally expose their eyes.
.
Lu Sheng stared straight ahead, a strange and familiar feeling came over his heart. It was clear that he had just visited the place early this morning, but now it felt like he had arrived for the first time, but he felt that everything was still the same as in his memory. At this moment, he suddenly
There is a mentality of wanting to go in, but not daring to go in.
It was at this time that two familiar faces frequently appeared in his mind. However, what made Lu Sheng feel strange was that they were clearly very familiar faces, but now he couldn't call them by name, and he didn't know who they were.
What kind of connection do they have with themselves?
Just when Lu Sheng was puzzled, another more friendly and familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him. Lu Sheng looked at him in shock and unconsciously blurted out, "Xiao Wu!"
Seeing that Lu Sheng didn't get out of the car, Xiao Zhu walked to the car window and greeted him through the closed window, "Master?"
Only then did Lu Sheng wake up, and it turned out that the person in front of him was Xiao Zhu.
The master and apprentice walked one behind the other and passed the main entrance of the community.
"Is this our first time here?" Lu Sheng was walking behind and asked Xiao Zhu in front of him.
"Didn't you just leave early this morning?" Xiao Zhu answered with some confusion after hearing Lu Sheng's question.
"I mean, have you been here before? Have we been here together?" Lu Sheng still didn't give up. Although he already knew the answer, he still asked persistently.
"Master, I don't know if you have been here before, but during the time I arrived in Huangzhou, the two of us were almost inseparable. I have never been here before," Xiao Zhu paused and said quickly, "
Have you watched too many surveillance videos?"
"Maybe." Lu Sheng muttered quietly and continued walking forward.
Lu Sheng and Xiao Zhu walked through the entire unit door to door and asked all the residents they saw. There were only a few households where there was no one at the moment, but they were almost certain that those two people arrived at Zhou Xiaodie's home that day.
"There are still two houses to go. I haven't asked yet. Just wait a while." Xiao Zhu thought he could go back early, but after listening to Lu Sheng's words, he didn't expect him to be so cautious.
"I'm afraid of anything happening!" Lu Sheng said casually, dealing with Xiao Zhu.
Those two families may not live here often. Lu Sheng also knew that there was no need to wait too much. He wanted to stay here for a while. The more real thought was actually the weird feeling just now. He wanted to feel it again.
That strange, somewhat supernatural feeling.
"You wait here, I'll go take a look around." After Lu Sheng finished speaking, Xiao Zhu was left alone, and he began to walk aimlessly in the community alone.
This was supposed to be the time for the residents to go out for a walk after dinner, but the sudden appearance of a female corpse in the early morning cast a shadow of panic on the community. Everyone seemed to have reached a tacit understanding in private, and they all chose to stay at home. Now the community
There was no one inside.
In the community where the rich live, the living environment is more like a garden, with rockeries, water, and pavilions. After walking for a while, Lu Sheng sat down in a pavilion. There was a pool of water next to the pavilion, which ran through the entire community.
In the core area of the water system, there are many red carp in the pool, and a small fountain is spraying water into the pool tirelessly.
The greening of the community is very good. There are many man-made landscapes placed in the grass or next to small trees. In fact, there are speakers hidden inside, which will play music regularly. Now, the community is echoing with beautiful and pleasant music.
Lu Sheng listened to the sound of gurgling water, which was mixed with soothing and relaxing music. It was supposed to be an environment that would make the spirit extremely relaxed, but it was in this environment that Lu Sheng had a different sensory experience.
.
The faint fishy smell emanating from the water and the slight rancid smell of the soil in the grass are stimulating Lu Sheng's sense of smell. He has never felt this way before. Why has his sense of smell become so sensitive?
He even distinguished the smell of water from fish, and even identified the smell of grass with broken leaves and the rotten smell of dead insects. Lu Sheng could really hold his breath now, because breathing heavily seemed to mean that he would inhale more different substances.
Types of smells, some of which were familiar to him, but many were unfamiliar and difficult to distinguish.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes unconsciously. He was surprised to find that once there was no visual interference, the olfactory nerves had stronger sensory capabilities.
Various smells began to appear one after another, including the smell of flowers nearby, the smell of food wafting from the kitchen further away, the sweet smell of juice spilled on the ground, and the smell of blood.
Lu Sheng was suspicious, suspecting that the fishy smell might be the smell of blood left by Zhou Xiaodie in the grass in the early morning.
"How could this happen? What happened to me today? What on earth are these? My nose..." Lu Sheng desperately wanted to leave this place, but there seemed to be a magical force holding him firmly.
When he was in the pavilion, he tried his best to stop him and not let him go out.
Lu Sheng sat there stiffly. He wanted to call Xiao Zhu for help, but suddenly found that he could not move. Not only could he not reach the phone, but he could hardly open his mouth and could not make any sound. He was panicking.
He was sweating like rain all over his body at the moment.
He and Lu Sheng had been separated for a long time. Xiao Zhu had not seen him come back after waiting for a long time, and did not answer his phone calls. Xiao Zhu was looking for Lu Sheng everywhere in the community.
Xiao Zhu also walked near the pavilion, and saw Lu Sheng sitting there blankly from a distance, with his back to Xiao Zhu. He called out "Master", but there was no response. He felt puzzled, so he walked straight away.
passed.
The music surrounding the park suddenly stopped, as if the magic power suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Lu Sheng regained the ability to move in all parts of his body, but he felt paralyzed and almost fell off the round stool in the pavilion.
Xiao Zhu quickly walked to Lu Sheng and supported him in time. Looking at Lu Sheng's shirt that was almost soaked with sweat, Xiao Zhu was shocked.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Lu Sheng did not respond directly to Xiao Zhu, but said in a weak voice, "I'm fine, go home!"
