Deep in the Living

Chapter 85 Red Envelope
Pluto City, Chinatown, Xiuhu Park

This is the largest park in the Chinatown area. It is built around a lake and is very suitable for activities for people of different ages.

Luo Di, wearing sportswear and carrying a cross-country backpack, was doing a morning jog along the relatively less crowded inner circle of the park. His pace was slightly slower than his previous night runs, mainly to conserve his energy.

During the run,

Rody also looked around carefully, but there was no one in the lake or behind the tree trunks. No one was secretly spying on him, and there was no sense of danger.

The tongue in my mouth did not click once,

After a half-hour morning run,
Luo Di came to the self-service drinking fountain in the park, and after confirming that there was no problem with the water quality, he began to drink water in large gulps and washed his face at the same time.

"I wasn't being targeted. At least I didn't notice anyone was targeting me...wasn't it a matter of morning jogging?"

Luo Di planned to take a short rest and then run for another hour. He happened to catch a glimpse of a public toilet not far away. He had just eaten breakfast and drank a lot of water, so he needed to relieve some of the burden.

The public toilet is as old as the park, built about twenty years ago and has not been renovated.

Many wall tiles and mirrors have cracks.

Sandalwood was lit on the sink to dispel the smell.

The cigarette butts in the urinal are like stink bugs.
Most of the plastic doors in the squat area cannot be closed properly.

The oval ceiling lamp has also become a cemetery for flies and insects.
After losing more than a pound of weight, Luo Di pulled up his pants and returned to the sink.

Just as he was about to reach out to turn on the faucet, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, something that could not be ignored.

Turning my head, I saw a bright red envelope under the sandalwood in the corner of the sink.

New and bright red,
It was so conspicuous that it was impossible for Rody not to have noticed it when he came in before. It must have been a temporary addition.

And Rody can be sure of one thing.

During the time when he was excreting waste fluid from his body, no one had entered this public toilet.

This thing must have appeared out of thin air, and it is very likely directly related to the "missing case". If he wants to get involved, he must pretend to be an ordinary person.

After checking that there was no one around, Luo Di slowly stretched out his right hand to take the red envelope under the sandalwood.

When your fingers touch the red envelope,
A completely different kind of yin energy instantly pierced into the tip of Rody's finger like a needle, causing a momentary pain.

Rody could have ignored the pain.

But considering that he was currently playing the role of an ordinary young man, he pretended that his finger was poked, and the red envelope in his hand slipped and fell onto the sink.

When the pain in his fingers disappeared, Rody bent down again to search for the fallen red envelope.

But there was nothing under the sink and the red envelope had disappeared.

"Where did you go?"

Luo Di squatted on the ground, looking at other areas of the public toilet along the cold tiles with doubts in his heart.

crunch~
The door of the deepest cubicle in the toilet slowly opened.
Since the current perspective is from a low position, only the lower half of the door can be seen.
Behind the slightly opened plastic door stood a pair of embroidered shoes.

"Hey! Did something fall?"

At this time, a morning jogger who was almost bald came to the bathroom and interrupted Rody's observation with a sentence.

As his attention was completely interrupted, Roddy stood up and looked to the deepest part again. There was only an open plastic door and nothing behind it.

"nothing."

Rody continued his morning run, thinking about what had just happened.

“There was no camera in the bathroom, so the scene of me taking the red envelope could not be recorded. Perhaps the other four missing people had similar experiences.

So when would I disappear? Judging from the video, the missing four people never left the house after returning home that night, and the last place they disappeared seemed to be at home.

How is it done?
A special type of fake person? Just like Teacher Guo.

Or is there some kind of spirit that cannot be captured by cameras or observed by the naked eye, following them all the time? Following them all the way from the moment they picked up the red envelope to their home?

Thinking of this, Luo Di turned back suddenly.

But there was nothing behind him.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and with his existing experience, he had no way of guessing the other party's methods or abilities. However, Luo Di was not nervous at all, and even a little excitement flashed in his eyes.

"The more special the better..."

Roddy did not tell the investigation bureau that he had been "involved", but continued his normal outdoor activities, just like the young people in the videotape, and did not return home until after dinner.

click!
The lock opens and you enter the house.

Although he had already stayed here for a day yesterday, Roddy still carefully checked every corner of the house and found nothing unusual.

However, tonight he did not take out the "Squad Leader", but instead placed the backpack where he could reach it as easily as possible.

Rody was lying on the sofa watching TV to kill time, and nothing happened in the meantime.

The leisure time passed quickly and it was almost time to wash up and go to bed.

After all, after running around outside all day, taking a shower is necessary.

Rody also carried the backpack into the bathroom and hung it on the wall next to the shower.

All clothes were taken off and neatly folded on the toilet lid outside.

Wow!
The hot water showered over his whole body. The water temperature close to the human body made him even sleepier. Rody yawned and finished his bath as quickly as possible.

The shampoo was squeezed onto the head, and the dense foam gradually blocked the vision.

He didn't rub his hands on his hair for too long. Roddy really didn't like the dark environment with his eyes closed, so he quickly turned on the faucet to rinse off the foam on his head.

Just when the foam is about to be washed away and the vision becomes blurred.

Luo Di, who was looking down, vaguely caught a glimpse of a pair of embroidered shoes that appeared in the shower area, less than half a meter away from him.

At the same time he saw the embroidered shoes, his hands felt something in his hair.

A hand... a thin and cold hand.

My whole body was filled with excitement!
Rody shook his head violently, quickly shaking off the excess water stains, and used five fingers to comb his hair from bottom to top, so that his vision was clear.

At the same time, I opened the glass door of the shower room and took the backpack hanging outside the door.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the backpack, I looked back into the bathroom and found that there was nothing inside.

strange!
Rody had never encountered such a situation before.

He dried himself off and changed into normal clothes.

Because of the strange thing that just happened, he did not choose to sleep in bed. Instead, he turned on all the lights in the house, slept on the sofa with a running backpack hanging in front of him.

Somehow,
As soon as Rody lay down, he was immediately overwhelmed by a feeling of tiredness several times greater than before. His eyes went dark and he quickly fell asleep.

But the sleep I had this time was different from the previous ones.
Luo Di clearly felt that he had fallen asleep, but his mind was still there. A sinking feeling engulfed his mind, as if it was sinking continuously on the sofa.

unable to speak,

Inability to move,

It was as if I had fallen into the depths of a dark swamp, not knowing where I would end up.

As he sank, the darkness seemed to want to strip him of his clothes.

At first he could not resist the feeling of being undressed;
But when the external force that pulled away his clothes acted on the backpack on his body, it seemed to touch the dangerous area deep in Rody's consciousness.

A strong thought accompanied by murderous intent surged up madly, tearing apart the darkness that enveloped consciousness.

hum!
He suddenly woke up from the sofa and reached for his backpack the first thing he did.

After touching the bulge on the surface of the backpack, Rody's thoughts gradually calmed down and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he turned his head and looked at the other side of the sofa,

On the empty seat on the sofa where the "class monitor" was usually placed, there was actually another head, and the head was covered with a red veil.

No sleepiness at all!

Rody also suddenly got up from the sofa, but when he looked at the place where the head was just now, there was nothing there.

zizi~
The lights in the house began to flicker, the total brightness was below the safe level, and the surrounding environment seemed to be wrong.
