As he expected, this little girl was not someone who would lose her mind after being frightened. She would dare to commit another crime.
But it didn't work this time, after all, Qiuzi was dead.
Xu Shuo stood up, walked to the lounge, and said, "Sister Zhang, I have other things to do tonight. I'll come with you next time."
Officer Zhang looked at her back and said nothing.
The girl's figure was perfectly outlined by the dance costume. Although she was not tall, her long legs had a very beautiful curvature, and she swayed as gracefully as a swan when she walked.
Under the bright light, her shadow gathered an inch below her feet and moved, like a lotus growing in sync.
Officer Zhang's eyes flickered, he looked down at his body, and then looked at Lan Ruo, who was lying on the ground motionless.
She slightly distanced herself from Lan Ruo.
The shadow under her body moved with her, and the gray shadow that originally fit Lan Ruo widened the distance, and a clear boundary appeared under the incandescent light.
After seeing this situation, Officer Zhang quickly stood up and took a few steps back, completely staying away from Lan Ruo.
This girl has no shadow!
…
In the lounge, Xu Shuo was scrolling through his phone. He opened the social software and poked Xue Na's name and profile picture in it, but got no response.
The shadow under him always focused on an inch below his feet. Even if the girl sat on the bench and swayed her legs, there was no change at all.
Xu Shuo played with his phone boredly and looked up at the woman in the dance studio who was carefully studying Lan Ruo.
The starting point of this game is indeed the dead.
At the beginning, Qiuzi was witnessed when she died, and then people from all walks of life began to enter the scene, including police, dancers, teachers, priests, and Qiuzi who existed as a dead person——
It was not difficult for Xu Shuo to guess the general background of this story.
Teacher Changying narrowed down the two dozen people to the last three, and secretly tried every means to provoke conflicts and fights among the three, as if he was mobilizing the darkness in their hearts.
In this story, Qiuzi is the most perfect white swan, simple and elegant, representing the bright side.
Lan Ruo is thoughtful and interprets the boldness and desire of the black swan, but she cannot achieve the pure posture of the white swan.
Logically speaking, if we were really looking for a dancer who could best express darkness, Lan Ruo would be Teacher Changying's first choice, but the latter focused on Qiuzi.
He constantly tempted her to compete with Lan Ruo, trying to get her out of the black swan's aura. Unfortunately, Qiuzi was a white swan until her death.
It wasn't until her death that she touched the darkness.
Only Xue Na was a perfect twin swan from the beginning, but her wings were broken and now she can't fly.
Teacher Changying obviously did not forget to continue to bewitch this person.
So, "Dancer in the Dark", who is this referring to?
Xu Shuo was playing the mini-game on his mobile phone, thinking about the plot in his mind, but until Officer Zhang over there had finished studying the body, and it was nine o'clock in the evening, Xue Na still hadn't replied to him.
It seems that I won't come today.
Xu Shuo stood up and changed out of his regular clothes directly in the lounge.
Officer Zhang was about to call him something when he turned around and happened to see this scene, so he turned his head silently.
Although she really wanted to watch it, the more fascinated she became, the more she couldn't control herself.
After waiting for a while, the sound of gentle footsteps approached, and Officer Zhang looked back again and saw the girl standing slim in a white long-sleeved dress.
She seemed to look a little worse.
Officer Zhang glanced at the shadow at her feet and frowned slightly: "Are you really not going to come with me tonight? I plan to take Lan Ruo with me. Her current situation is a bit weird."
Xu Shuo smiled, did not say anything, and said instead: "Sister Zhang, I will perform as the protagonist in three days, let's talk about it then."
Lan Ruo can't even appear now. His only competitor is Xue Na. Of course, it's not certain whether Xue Na can still play.
Originally, he wanted Xue Na to play.
After hearing this, Officer Zhang hesitated and asked: "Qiuzi, do you know when it will be in three days?"
Xu Shuo didn't even look at the corpse lying on the ground. He turned and walked towards the door. A slightly playful voice came out: "It's time for me to perform~"
Officer Zhang: "..."
"By the way, you don't need to turn off the lights after you leave."
After the girl finished speaking, her figure disappeared at the door. Officer Zhang did not stop or retain her.
The two of them have basically never had any serious communication since they met, but they know some things well.
I'm afraid they all already know whether Qiuzi is a person, but because her identity is still useful for the time being, no one has revealed it.
It just so happened that Xu Shuo also wanted them to help advance the plot.
After all, he still has character cards to fill.
…
The dance studio became quiet. Watching the girl leave, Officer Zhang sighed helplessly.
She thought about things and was lost in thought for a while. It was not until she was too quiet that she realized what was going on. She looked at the wide and empty dance studio and thought that the people dancing here were probably not normal.
I don't know if it was due to psychological factors, but Officer Zhang felt cold and shivered.
After she told her temporary teammates what happened, she put away her cell phone, pulled up the lying corpse of Lan Ruo and leaned on her shoulders, preparing to take her back.
Under the light, only her shadow was reflected.
However, in fact, Lan Ruo, who was drooping her legs, had a small black spot spreading on the tip of her toes. It was extremely dark, like deathly black, and moved with her moving body, like a shadow.
But because the black spots were not obvious and spread extremely slowly, Officer Zhang had not noticed them yet.
When he walked to the door, Officer Zhang originally wanted to turn off the light, but when he put his hand on the light switch, the girl's last words suddenly popped into his mind -
"You don't have to turn off the lights when you leave."
As a result, the finger that almost pressed down on the switch became stiff.
Qiuzi wouldn't say this for no reason, would she?
After thinking about it, she didn't have to pay the electricity bill anyway. It didn't matter whether she turned off the lights or not, so she wouldn't turn them off.
Officer Zhang moved his finger to turn on the light and closed the door of the dance studio, leaving only a gap, which slanted light into the corridor outside.
The lights in the corridor were dim just now, but now they have returned to normal brightness, as if what she saw when she went upstairs was all an illusion.
Only the security guard is still missing.
Officer Zhang's face darkened. He originally wanted to take the elevator, but suddenly felt that the closed environment of the elevator seemed unsafe, so he simply supported the person and continued walking up the stairs.
The girl's body is very cold, pale and without any blood, revealing a sinister feeling.
If she wasn't mentally strong and needed to investigate, Officer Zhang wouldn't want to drag her along.
Where the two people walked, two shadows were cast under the light.
One is a normal black and gray figure, and the other is a dark shadow that gathers under the toes and begins to spread slightly, slowly and strangely.
