dog?

Jason was startled, and he subconsciously thought of the beginning of "Cross Street Stalker" he had just watched.

At the beginning, the protagonist stepped into the killer's trap because he was looking for the landlord's lost dog.

Thinking of this, Jason said half-jokingly.

"You're not my landlord, are you?"

"Um."

"I am your landlord."

An affirmative answer came from the receiver, making Jason frown.

Such a coincidence?

No!

It's not a coincidence, it's an arrangement!

Most likely, I arranged everything when I checked in here!

And the guy who arranged all this?

Of course it was the guy who committed the murder according to the description in the book!

What the other party wants to do is not just to commit murder!

But...

Recreate the content of "Cross Street Stalker"!

Jason thought quickly and had a rough guess, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Because he has no memory of how he rented here.

He's here as soon as he shows up.

Previous memories?

Not at all!

He doesn't even know the names of the cats and dogs he raised now.

While Jason was thinking, the voice on the other side of the microphone continued.

"I want to meet and talk, is that okay?"

The other party asked.

"Can."

Jason answered in the affirmative.

He wanted to know more, so he had no reason to refuse.

And the landlord named 'John' arrived faster than expected.

Just five minutes after Jason put down the receiver, there was a knock on the door——

Boom, boom!

"It's me, John."

Those who knock on the door announce their own door.

Jason did his usual inspection before opening the door.

This is a man who looks thin but is full of strength. His face is quite handsome, but he has an unkempt beard and long hair. It is so long that it is scattered on both sides of his face and shoulders, making him look decadent. The clothes on his body

It was even more simple, a pair of jeans and off-white long sleeves, with some stains on them, making the already decadent man look even more lonely.

"Sorry, I had to do some unnecessary things in order not to be seen."

The other party walked in directly, and after Jason closed the door, he pointed at the stains on his clothes.

Jason nodded noncommittally.

However, his eyes were still staring at each other.

Jason could clearly feel the dangerous aura of the man in front of him who seemed decadent, lonely, and full of 'dejection'.

In the 'city that never sleeps', Jason has seen many such people.

Each one of them is a famous lone ranger.

Of course, he had no contact with these people. He only met them when delivering goods.

But this does not prevent Jason from remembering the advice given by the 'old man': Don't mess with people like this.

Stay away honestly.

Would someone steal such a person's dog?

Jason mourned for the other party from the bottom of his heart.

It was obvious that this dog was very important to the John in front of him.

To put it simply, this is no longer a matter of whether or not you can provoke it.

But...it will not stop until death.

When Jason was sizing up John, John was also sizing up Jason.

This was the first time he met Jason.

Before, when Jason moved in, the manager of the apartment reported it to him, but he was in no mood to pay attention to it at that time.

He has never seen a writer look like this.

He is nearly two meters tall, has strong muscles, and his arms are thicker than the thighs of ordinary people. He looks more like a wrestler than a writer.

A writer should be gentle and elegant when holding a pen.

The Jason in front of me is holding a pen?

It will only make people nervous and worried!

Because they were afraid that Jason would poke the pen into their bodies!

Is the pen the writer’s weapon?

John couldn't help but think of a famous saying.

At this time, he felt that this famous saying was quite reasonable.

Then, he silently took a step back.

Not only was he worried that Jason would get angry and hurt others, but he was also keenly aware of the fatal sense of danger in Jason.

This is the intuition given to him by his former profession.

Unmistakable intuition!

Jason and John just stood in the hallway looking at each other.

After more than ten seconds, the two of them moved together.

The two people began to move sideways, one step after another, to the sofa. During this process, the two people's eyes never left each other. They stared at each other's eyes, and looked at each other's arms, legs and feet with vigilance.

Even after standing next to the sofa, the two people's movements did not change, and they even pinched the back of the sofa with their hands unconsciously.

The sofa can not only be used for sitting, but also for throwing.

Of course, it can also be used as a shield.

Squeak, squeak!

Amidst the friction between the legs of the sofa and the floor, Jason and John each dragged the sofa back.

They didn't stop until they touched the wall behind each other.

Then, they sat on the sofa at the same time.

John's body was slightly bowed, like a leopard that was charging up, ready to explode at the slightest sign of trouble.

Jason was much more normal. He sat upright with his legs slightly apart, but his feet were slightly moved back in the slippers, using the uppers of the slippers to cover the curved and buckled toes.

Jason promised that if he exerts force on his toes, he can bounce up immediately.

When an accident occurs, he can not only respond immediately, but also complete an effective counterattack.

The two fell silent again.

Only the sound from the TV is left——

"It is reported that this time the murder took place in a remote alley. The poor lady had her arms cut off and was hung upside down. The body was also written with: boring, boring, not fun."

"Friends who have watched "Cross Street Stalker" must be familiar with this scene."

"However, this time it is no longer in a book, but in reality."

"Someone is imitating the killer in "Cross Street Stalker" and committing murder."
