Huang Xiaocheng grabbed his shoulder: "I just came back from get off work, how could I have been staring at you secretly. You closed the door tightly, how could I know what would be inside. But I have a hunch that something is particularly bad.
It's a premonition. There is something in your room, something that can kill someone. You should believe me. If it weren't for the premonition, I wouldn't have come out of Hangcheng alive before."
Yang Xuehai said: "Okay, okay. Last time you shouted about premonitions, when we went to the Quanzhou Reptile Expo, we hurried out after hearing your words. In the end, nothing happened. Can't you just admit it? Are you brave?
Xiao? Are you afraid of snakes?"
Huang Xiaocheng sighed: "Okay, I'm timid and I'm afraid of snakes. You can take care of me as long as I don't say anything."
He returned to his room where luggage was piled up, and fell on the bed. The cold feeling of fear was like a snake's body crawling all over his body, and he was so uncomfortable that the tips of his toes twitched because of it.
Yang Xuehai couldn't listen anyway, so there was no need to say more. The question was what to do next.
He turned on his cell phone, stared at the call record of just a few seconds with the Longhu District Special Operations Team, and began to be in a daze.
Mutations are happening frequently now, and the news is getting tight. Weird and poisonous pets have been banned by many countries, making them difficult to sell, so prices have been reduced. Yang Xuehai has always liked the Elga viper, saying that this kind of snake has "the ultimate color and geometric beauty."
Paired with "God's Artwork", taking advantage of the price reduction, I entered one. The federal government has also just issued a ban on poisonous pets. If the matter is really brought to the Security Bureau, Yang Xuehai will definitely be punished.
light.
He was angry just now, but now he has calmed down. He knows that this communication should not be dialed out, so he is exhausted.
Because he lives under someone else's roof.
Huang Xiaocheng is a survivor of Hangcheng's super-scale chain mutation. Unfortunately, his relatives passed away in the disaster, leaving him without any relatives. As an old classmate, Yang Xuehai gave him his home and helped him develop again in Jicheng.
, can be said to be the biggest benefactor. Naturally, he cannot just report Yang Xuehai to the Security Bureau.
After thinking for a long time, he just wanted to make money as soon as possible - and then move out quickly. Huang Xiaocheng pulled a pillow and pressed it on his face to block the tears that were about to burst out. He decided to turn this into motivation, work hard, leave early and come back late.
Return late.
Huang Xiaocheng stayed in the office on his own and worked the late shift. In addition, Yang Xuehai's home was relatively remote and he had to go back and forth twice on public transfers, so he naturally had to work late at night when he came back.
There was no light in the house, and it was expected that Yang Xuehai had already fallen asleep.
He verified the fingerprints.
The moment the lock bar popped open, Huang Xiaocheng felt that the darkness that greeted him was surrounding him like a ghastly poisonous mist. He was covered in cold sweat. He suddenly turned on the living room light.
Something is wrong.
premonition.
An ominous premonition.
That snake.
snake--
He glanced around the room very quickly, but couldn't see any snakes. Huang Xiaocheng changed his shoes and walked to his room, carefully avoiding the dark corners of the house along the way.
Maybe I just came back too late, the surrounding area was too quiet, and it was too dark along the way, so I didn't feel very good.
Just a feeling.
He comforted himself like this. Sometimes the premonition was very good, but sometimes it was just a false alarm. Having experienced the nightmare in Hangcheng, it sometimes made him too nervous. Huang Xiaocheng suppressed the urge in his heart to turn around and leave.
Because nearby hotels charge several hundred Singapore dollars.
After returning to the room, he immediately locked the door. After washing, Huang Xiaocheng lay on the bed unable to sleep. It was already late at night and he was obviously very tired.
But no sleepiness.
The quilt wrapped around him failed to bring any warmth. He huddled on the bed, shivering and sweating. After struggling for a while, he thought that it was not a good idea to continue like this. How could he go to work tomorrow if he was not energetic, so he dialed Yang Xuehai's message.
Didn't answer.
It turned out that Yang Xuehai had set the do not disturb mode.
Huang Xiaocheng thought for a while, and finally just shouted: "Xuehai! Xuehai! Yang Xuehai!"
After howling several times, Yang Xuehai finally woke up. With a little wake-up call, he asked, "What?"
Huang Xiaocheng said: "Snake, your snake."
Yang Xuehai said: "Did you have a nightmare?"
Huang Xiaocheng didn't dare to say it was a premonition: "I heard a few strange noises. Please take a look. It's still in your box. It's best that I heard it wrong. I'm afraid the snake ran away."
Yang Xuehai cursed. But then there was the sound of footsteps, so he probably went to see it.
Huang Xiaocheng added: "Be careful."
Yang Xuehai's cursing suddenly stopped.
Huang Xiaocheng's heart suddenly lifted.
Then Yang Xuehai shouted with a trembling voice: "Not good!"
Huang Xiaocheng said: "Did...really run away?"
Yang Xuehai didn't answer, but the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets already proved his guess.
Huang Xiaocheng suggested: "Let's find a special operations team."
Yang Xuehai said: "No, it can't be done. This period of drug investigation and pet investigation is very strict. It's a big deal to find out."
Huang Xiaocheng said: "The special operations team, not the security agency. They are all young students and have never seen much money. Give them some hush money to keep them from reporting it. If you are careful not to get bitten, this matter will not spread."
Yang Xuehai pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say. The special operations team just got the bonus from the double S-class mutation incident, and I'm afraid they don't like the small amount of money we gave. It would be great if the Youth Aid Team didn't overturn. Alas, we still
Catch it yourself.”
He said yes "we."
Huang Xiaocheng was lying on the bed, feeling that his body was stiff and every nerve was tense.
He didn't answer.
But Yang Xuehai quickly came and knocked on his door: "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng."
Huang Xiaocheng said: "I don't know how to deal with snakes."
Yang Xuehai said: "Xiao Cheng." This sentence had a rare sense of pleading: "That snake is big and it's hard for me to handle it alone. Why don't you come and help me."
Huang Xiaocheng asked: "Do you have a gun?"
Yang Xuehai coughed: "Gun? If you shoot it with a gun, won't the snake be gone? You don't know that I am weak and have never been able to get a gun permit. How can I have a gun at home? But there are special snake hooks and pliers.
Nothing will happen. If you are really worried, I will give you gloves."
Huang Xiaocheng said: "Don't be brave. You know, there is no serum for this snake in China. If you are bitten, you will die. If you don't want to call a special operations team, I will contact a few people on the Internet to catch it."
Yang Xuehai said: "The wild legs are very rude. If they come, the snake's life may not be saved." He sighed: "I tightened my belt for half a year to save a snake. Xiaocheng? Come and help me."
Shall I look for it? You don’t need to catch it. I’ll catch it if you find it. I know your premonitions, so you can find snakes quickly.”
Huang Xiaocheng took a breath.
premonition.
A terrifying premonition. He turned on the light, got out of bed and put on his shoes.
Every step forward is like stepping on crackling thin ice, and you will fall into a bottomless abyss in the next second.
