…

The kettle on the fire table was simmering.

White steam continued to emerge from the spout of the pot, drifting along the sky shrouded in silent black clouds outside the house.

Because the circuit supply was cut off.

There were no lights in the house at this time.

Even the old-fashioned big-head TV that was always on was now plunged into darkness...

Two candles are placed on the table.

A slightly swaying flame.

Shine its own light, which is not very bright, on the mottled wall full of traces of time.

The fire table was filled with dishes.

But it has lost its temperature due to too long time...

Just a bunch of cold food.

Even the stewed pig's feet that everyone in the family loves to eat has oil stains on the surface of the soup, as if it has become a glass plate covering the bowl...

Cross-stitch embroidered I don’t know how many years ago.

The five characters "Home and everything prosper", together with the family portrait placed next to the TV cabinet, seem a bit lonely for no reason...

In the dim flames.

Qian Xixi's face was like a shadow, and she just sat quietly on the sofa.

Don't speak either.

As if waiting for something...

From time to time, my mother looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.

It seems that he is waiting for his absent family members to return.

"Xixi, do you know where your brother and the others went to buy cakes? Why haven't they come back yet?"

Mom glanced at the scenery outside the window and asked with a worried look on her face. She paused for two seconds, then lowered her head and said.

"It's so cold outside today, and your dad isn't wearing a scarf. What if he catches a cold?"

"It's so late, could there be some accident?"

Mom's face at this time.

It is no longer so beautiful and moving.

Instead, it looked like it was rotten, with the skin bulging bit by bit...

Bloodshot streaks appeared on her face.

Even the corners of his eyes began to see blood gradually overflowing.

There is something unspeakably strange...

Half a moment.

Xixi, who was sitting on the sofa, raised her head and smiled softly.

"Mom, we won't wait for them."

"Brother, they must have other things to delay, so let's just celebrate today's birthday!"

The strange thing is.

My mother didn't ask why.

And I wonder why Xixi said this...

She just said this after thinking for a moment.

"But you haven't brought back your birthday cake yet. How can you celebrate your birthday without eating cake?"

Happy to hear the words.

She smiled without knowing why.

Then he stood up and placed the candle on the table in front of himself.

murmured.

"It's okay, I'm used to it..."

Seeing Xixi look like this.

Mom just sat down silently and leaned aside.

The flesh on half of her face has rotted away, and there are even milky white maggots crawling in it.

"Mom, can you sing a birthday song to me?"

"Well, I wish you... a happy birthday..."

"Happy birthday to you~"

"..."

Mom beat the time slowly with her hands.

Singing this birthday song that belongs to Xixi softly...

Her voice at this time was already very ugly.

It was hoarse and harsh, as if a foreign object had been inserted into it.

But Xixi didn't care...

She just closed her eyes, crossed her white and delicate palms on her chest, and silently made her birthday wish.

Naturally, the wish was not expressed in the end.

Mom doesn’t know what Xixi’s wish is...

a long time.

Xixi opened his eyes.

call!

She blew out the candles on the fire table...

Then,

The whole home.

Completely plunged into darkness.

…

Beiyan Tower.

Qianye sat aside and watched as An Zhi took out something similar to a small crystal ball from his pocket, which looked similar to those of most spoofing fortune tellers.

While closing your eyes slightly.

His hands were making strange gestures one centimeter above the crystal ball.

It looks mysterious...

And stupid.

"What are you doing?"

Qianye was a little confused next to him.

he interjected and asked.

Just two minutes ago.

He has already finished exchanging the general information obtained by both parties with An Zhi...

An is not the same as him.

The assimilation that the world has brought to An Zhi.

It was offset by what An Zhi said that he had a special source of curse.

Plus he was the one who entered this world later.

There is no main storyline...

Therefore, compared to Chino, whose clues basically revolve around family and school, An Zhi's running areas are wider.

In these few months.

Whether it is shopping malls, roads, shops, lanes...

Or an amusement park, massage for the blind, or a bathing center.
