Chapter 2 Choosing Her
For some unknown reason, Anjiu tore open the plastic bag and changed the comfortable flat shoes on his feet into the sneakers left in the store.
After tying her shoelaces tightly and tying a knot to make sure it wouldn't come loose, she prepared to get her raincoat.
etc--
"Boss, can I borrow your umbrella?"
Wow.
The rolling door closed behind him.
An Jiu looked at the few people who were still standing under the eaves. Seeing that they had nothing in their hands, he thought for a moment and asked, "I'm going to Junhua Community. Are there any of you going the same way?"
In the end, no one was heading in the same direction as her.
Anjiu took a silent breath and turned away.
Domestic garbage clogged the sewer, causing the accumulated water to become deeper and deeper, almost reaching the level of the lowest step. The dripping raindrops stirred up layers of ripples, continuously hitting the concrete countertop.
After just looking at it a few more times, An Jiu felt dizzy as if he was going to fall down.
The cars, trash cans, and rows of yellow cars not far away cast heavy shadows, giving off a sense of creepiness as if they were hiding unknown dangers.
She clenched her cold fingers, gripped the umbrella handle, and turned into the alley.
The bean-sized raindrops hit the umbrellas, making crackling sounds continuously, and the whole alley was filled with the sound of rain.
After nightfall, the narrower the path, the more dangerous it becomes. If this wasn't the only way home, there was no way she would go through here!
There were some scattered debris piled up in the alley, and due to the poor visibility, it looked like a dormant monster ready to pounce.
Anjiu quickened his pace, and the soles of his shoes made dents in the puddles.
In a trance, Anjiu seemed to hear the sound of footsteps mixed in.
An uncontrollable shudder rose from behind, and the back of my head felt as if it was being twisted into a ball.
Anjiu gripped the umbrella handle tightly, forcing himself to stay calm and not stop.
She was highly focused on what was behind her, carefully distinguishing and confirming the noisy sound of rain.
There was a loud bang of thunder and lightning appeared in the sky, briefly illuminating the alley.
Anjiu turned back as quickly as possible——
The two men in strange clothes were following her not far away!!
They chose themselves!
Anjiu's scalp tingled, he slammed his umbrella shut and ran away!
"Discovered."
The man with unclear pronunciation finished speaking and chased after them with the sound of heavy footsteps in the water.
The narrow alley was suddenly filled with the sound of hurried running!
Anjiu's heart was beating rapidly. After a brief moment of brightness, her eyes fell into darkness that she needed to adapt to again. She couldn't see the road conditions clearly, and with one foot deep and one foot shallow, there was a high risk of falling!
However, the huge fear caused by being chased by two men who were highly similar to the portrait of the criminal suspect made her mind a mess!
No, calm down!
Anjiu bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and the fishy and sweet taste of rust filled his entire mouth. The pain dispelled some of his fear.
The two people in the bookstore were dressed strangely and bulkily. After standing there for a while, a puddle of water formed under their feet, as if they were walking on a sponge mat.
And when she turned back just now, they still looked bloated!
No wonder the steps are heavy and the frequency is high!
Anjiu tried hard to recall the scene when he walked through the alley this morning.
The red bricks that were laid in all directions, the pits left by pulling out the shrubs, and the garbage cans that were piled up in a peak suddenly tilted and scattered all over the ground. The sanitation workers were so angry that they cursed loudly...
There's a trash can in front!
If the lid wasn't on, it would be full of water and garbage by now!
She blinked hard, trying to find a vertical mass of thick black in the darkness ahead.
She ran over and tried to touch it with her hand. It was heavy, and there was a sound of water sloshing around, just as she expected.
Almost in the blink of an eye, two bloated men appeared, panting heavily, holding something in their hands.
Anjiu didn't bother to look closely. He took a deep breath and pushed hard!
The bottom of the half-person-high trash can made a harsh friction sound, and water splashed out of the can.
"Don't run, we're tired." The man panted heavily, stared at the person hiding behind the trash can, and spoke vaguely.
The other person remained silent.
But when a rustling sound suddenly sounded not far away, An Jiu felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
They were distracting her!
Anjiu's whole body was tense like a bow, and he pressed his shoulders against the trash can with all his strength, pushing the ground with his toes.
The heavy rain poured down on my head, making my hair stick to my skin. The next moment, thunder exploded and lightning lit up the night sky again.
Through the hair and the rain, An Jiu discovered that the man had approached her, holding a dagger high in his hand and swinging it towards her!
The cold light reflected Anjiu's frightened face.
Push harder! Push harder!
boom!
The trash can finally fell over, and the water it was filled with surged and hit the man's thick calves.
The huge impact force caused him to lose balance and he fell face down. The dagger in his hand flew out and hit the wall next to Anjiu.
Ding—dang, dang.
Anjiu's heart was beating violently.
Not only was her crisis not resolved, it became worse!
During the brief moment of blindness, she realized that she was about to be attacked at the same time by two furious men with blood on their hands!
And by then, it will be her death!
Thinking of this, Anjiu reached for the place where the dagger fell, clenched it tightly, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Because she knew what she was going to do next, she had to overcome that inner defense.
When his vision finally became clear, when the man propped up his arms and prepared to stand up, Anjiu pounced on him, grabbed his dry hair with one hand, and stabbed the dagger into his throat with the other hand.
The tiny "pop" sound of the skin being cut was so clear in her ears that for a moment it seemed as if all the sounds of rain and thunder in the world had drifted away from her.
The warm, sticky, slippery liquid flowed down her hand in small streams.
The man widened his eyes in disbelief, bent his elbow with difficulty, clenched his fists and hammered Anjiu's waist.
The severe pain caused Anjiu's body to bend like a bow, and the hand holding the dagger loosened.
The man stroked the dagger at his throat, his mouth making a "whoosh" sound as if his trachea was cut and blood foamed out. His eyes were fixed on Anjiu and his body kept twitching.
It was another sudden approaching sound of treading water that woke Anjiu up.
She looked up hurriedly and saw the pair of eyes full of murderous intent hiding behind her in the bookstore. He didn't even look at his fallen companion and rushed straight towards her.
Anjiu instinctively stood up from the ground and subconsciously wanted to escape, but the moment she took a step, she saw the dagger stuck in the man's neck.
It must not fall into the hands of the other party!
An Jiu rushed forward, pulled out the gun with force, held it in his hand, stepped over the bloated corpse and turned to run.
But before she could run a few steps, she felt a tugging sensation on the back of her neck and was forced to fall backwards. At the same time, a bloated arm crossed her neck and suddenly tightened.
Anjiu's eyes went dark and he felt a suffocating feeling coming over him.
In the blink of an eye, she felt her face swelling, her eyes becoming bloodshot, and her head began to buzz.
A man's heavy breathing could be heard behind his ear, his face pressed against the back of An Jiu's head, and the creaking sound of his teeth gritting his teeth was extremely clear.
