The twisted patterns are constantly changing, like a maze hiding terrifying secrets.
The feeling of weightlessness caused by falling came very suddenly.
Jiang Ming opened his eyes suddenly.
The feeling of weightlessness disappeared.
Looking at everything in front of him, he was stunned.
He found himself standing in a living room that looked familiar, but the problem was that he should have been in the technical department office of the branch before.
As a policeman and the leader of the technical section, Jiang Ming didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, but this time, he couldn't figure out how he got here from the branch office.
"Where are Xiao Du and the others? And where is Expert Lin?"
Jiang Ming was certain that he was the only one in this living room.
It's the kind of house in an old-fashioned community, with two bedrooms and one living room. There are some cracks on the top and surrounding walls, and some places have fallen off. It is surrounded by old furniture, with a coffee table and a sofa behind it, and a TV set in front of it, and you can watch it through the window.
Outside, it was pitch black.
There was no other sound except the old-fashioned electronic watch hanging on the wall, which made a tapping sound every second.
Jiang Ming was very nervous at this time.
Even if you have been trained, you will be a little confused when you suddenly encounter such a strange thing.
There were photos on the wall, and Jiang Ming immediately walked over to check them out. The photos were of a family of three. After scanning everyone's faces, Jiang Ming's expression suddenly changed.
He recognized this family.
That was a neighbor of his childhood a long time ago.
This family has a good relationship with Jiang Ming's family, and his neighbor's sister often takes care of him and helps him with his homework.
But a terrible tragedy happened that year, and the family was killed by gangsters.
Jiang Ming was seven years old at that time. Coincidentally, he was also present when the tragedy happened. But he was lucky and escaped by hiding under the bed.
It is also for this reason that Jiang Ming vowed to be a policeman who punishes evil and promotes good.
He wants to bring that gangster to justice.
But after all these years, the murderer of the massacre is still at large.
Memories slowly emerged, and Jiang Ming's face became extremely ugly. He remembered that this was his neighbor's sister's house, and all the furnishings were exactly the same as before.
"How could this happen?" Jiang Ming's mind went blank.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting Jiang Ming's thoughts and instantly bringing him back to reality.
The footsteps outside the door stopped, and then there was the sound of a key opening the door.
Fear emerged from my heart.
It's even hard to suppress.
Jiang Ming felt danger.
Hide.
This thought immediately popped into my mind.
The living room was not big, and there was no place to hide people. On the left was the kitchen and toilet, and on the right was the bedroom. Jiang Ming opened the bedroom door without hesitation, walked in, and then closed the door.
Almost at the same time, there was the sound of the security door being opened outside, and someone came in.
The other party was in the living room, separated by a door from him.
Jiang Ming's heart was beating fast at this time. This scene seemed familiar to him. Back then, the murderer who killed his neighbor's family seemed to have come in like this.
Childhood fears rushed directly into my mind.
Because the thick curtains are drawn, the bedroom is very dark. You can vaguely see that the bedroom is not big, with a standing cabinet next to it and a large bed.
There is a fishy smell in the air.
Jiang Ming walked to the bed on tiptoes and glanced at the bed.
There was a person lying on the bed.
like a statue.
If you look closely, you will see that there is a knife stuck in this man's neck.
Jiang Ming's eyes widened and he covered his mouth, otherwise he might scream.
At this moment, the hair on his head stood up. He had seen this scene before, and the already blurry memories of his childhood suddenly came to his mind.
The footsteps in the living room were approaching, and Jiang Ming almost subconsciously got under the bed. Not even two seconds after hiding, the door to the living room was pushed open.
The faint light from outside shines in.
Jiang Ming saw a person standing at the door from under the bed. From this angle, he could only see the person's feet.
The other party wore round-toe boots that were polished very brightly.
The man didn't make any additional reaction, nor did he close the bedroom door. He just walked to the bed and heard some noises. The next moment, the body on the bed was pushed down very suddenly, and fell to the floor with a clang.
The corpse fell just over two feet away from Jiang Ming. This time he was lying in a lying position. The dagger around his neck was gone. At this moment, his head was tilted to the side, and he happened to be face to face with him.
The impact of this image cannot be described in words.
Jiang Ming's mood was boiling like boiling water at this moment.
The female corpse, in her twenties, looked quite young. At this moment, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was open, half of her face was covered in blood, and she was looking straight at Jiang Ming.
She's the neighbor's sister.
Jiang Ming's mind went blank, and his fingers were trembling uncontrollably at this moment.
This scene is exactly the same as before.
He was only seven years old at that time, and he hid under the bed without daring to say a word. When the murderer left, he ran out crying.
Jiang Ming once felt that if he was given another chance, he would definitely do something.
He will no longer let fear control him.
But now that he was really experiencing it all again, he realized that he didn't even have the strength to move.
Fear was like a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds, pressing him tightly and making him unable to breathe.
At this time, the murderer seemed to have noticed something, and slowly squatted down. Jiang Ming's fear had reached its peak, and he was about to poke his head under the bed when he saw the other person.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the corridor outside.
The murderer was alerted. He immediately stood up, opened the security door and walked out.
Jiang Ming let out a sigh of relief.
"Wait a minute, the shout just now seems to be Xiao Du." Jiang Ming realized that the person making the noise outside was his colleague, which made him nervous again.
Jiang Ming crawled out from under the bed and looked at the body of his neighbor's sister.
The tears in his eyes could not stop flowing out.
"I'm so useless. I was too timid to save you back then. I didn't expect it would be the same again."
At this moment, Jiang Ming was crying like a child.
But the next moment, he touched something.
It's the police badge on his chest.
He was still wearing a police uniform.
A surge of strength surged into my heart.
"Yes, I am a police officer. I have sworn an oath to maintain peace and protect others. I couldn't do it when I was a child, but I must do it now."
"I have to do it."
The fear seemed to have weakened a lot. Jiang Ming gritted his teeth and walked out, reaching out and grabbing a crystal trophy on the table.
He remembered clearly that his neighbor's sister had won it from participating in a recital competition. It was very heavy and could be used as a weapon.
Opening the door, Jiang Ming walked out.
What surprised him was that outside was actually the corridor of the branch office, but it looked very dim, completely different from what he saw on weekdays.
The air seemed to be filled with a kind of tiny gray particles, more like a strange fog.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming felt a noise behind him, and he subconsciously ducked to the side.
Swish!
A knife almost grazed his neck and stabbed him.
The blade scratched Jiang Ming's skin, and a wave of pain hit him.
It was the murderer. It turned out that he had not left, but was hiding in a dark corner outside the door, waiting for Jiang Ming to come out and kill him suddenly.
The first blow missed, and the second knife struck again.
Jiang Ming had learned how to fight, but when faced with knife-wielding gangsters, he had no advantage, especially since the opponent's speed and strength were not like normal humans at all.
There was a snap.
The crystal trophy was empty, fell to the ground, and shattered.
In panic, Jiang Ming lost his footing and fell to the ground.
"It's over!"
He knew in his heart that falling down at this time would be fatal.
The murderer in front of him rushed forward, but at this time, something unexpected happened to him.
At the same time, a person suddenly jumped out from the side. This person had two red balloons tied to his wrist, and he was holding a brick in his other hand. He went up and slapped the murderer on the back of the head.
