Chapter 6 Claw Marks
"Brother! There's a result!"
The next day at noon, Runli called Run secretly and said that she had sensed Xia Peng's death deadline. QΒ5.CoM And that deadline...is tomorrow!
"Officer Xia can only live until tomorrow... I made an appointment to meet Xia Peng and the others this afternoon. Should I tell him about this?" Runan couldn't help but have a headache.
"If you want to say it, I won't stop him. Let him know where his deadline is, and it can also be used as his motivation."
Ren Jing was still so careless, and at this moment, the two were in her home.
Ren Jing's home is a villa in the city center with a small garden with a total of two floors, facing north and south, and the road section is also very good. The decoration of the home is even more amazing. Whether it is sofas, tables or curtains, all are very high-end brands, and each room is clean and tidy, although most of them are not inhabited.
"Do you live alone? Such a big house?"
"This house was left to me by my grandfather. My mother is an overseas Chinese in the United States. Her grandfather is considered to be some assets abroad. When my mother gave up the inheritance rights of her family and came to China to marry my father. Everyone in the family opposed it... There is nothing we can do, because my father is just an ordinary psychologist."
Ren Jing's room was filled with at least four computers, more than ten clocks, and many mirrors. The bookshelf was filled with various books, both astronomy, geography, and history and politics.
"Your room..."
"It's strange? This is to train my supernatural abilities. Because I don't have a natural supernatural physique. Mirrors are the most important props. Although it is dangerous for people who encounter ghosts, it is very important for people like me who have poor supernatural abilities."
At this moment, she was standing in front of a mirror and stroking the mirror.
Runan noticed that the more than ten clocks seemed to be produced in Switzerland, and each clock moved completely consistently, not badly. Therefore, you could hear very neatly moving hands in the room without being messy.
"After my mother died, I knew that my father's missing grandfather had intended me to go abroad to inherit the inheritance, but I refused. He seemed to have bought a property in this city in my name out of guilt for his mother, and I did not refuse. After all, this is what he owed his mother. Just because of his boring self-esteem, no one in the entire family has attended his mother's funeral!"
Ren Jing's voice seemed a little excited. This was the first time Runan felt that she had obvious emotional ups and downs.
"After all, I need a big house to do a lot of things, and there is also a basement below, where I conduct some experiments. But at least there is no research result."
"So...what is the so-called supernatural ability? And what you said about supernatural physique..."
Runan couldn't suppress his curiosity. Over the past seven years, he had also tried to collect rumors about supernatural beings from all over China, and even conducted in-depth research on supernatural beings, but theories in various places were varied and messy, and could not find systematic theories. Moreover, most of them were pure superstitions.
"For example..." Ren Jing suddenly turned around, pointed at Runan'an, and said, "You are a person with a natural supernatural constitution, so are your sister. This constitution will give you a strong ability to feel the existence of ghosts. Premonition is a characteristic of this ability."
"But... don't you have premonitions too? Why do you say you are not a natural supernatural person?"
"I am different from you brothers and sisters. Although I have premonition abilities after encountering ghosts, my ability is caused by the influence of my father's supernatural abilities acquired. I have not been able to inherit my father's supernatural abilities, otherwise I would not have only this level of premonition abilities."
Ren Jing seemed a little depressed when she said this. She seemed annoyed that she had failed to inherit her father's complete supernatural constitution.
"Where should I start if I conduct an investigation?"
Xia Peng and Ou Xueyan came to Ren Jing's home on time in the afternoon and brought relevant information. After all, one was a policeman and the other was a reporter, and it was not difficult to find relevant clues. Xie Xiaohao is an ordinary high school student. He is humble and friendly and has good academic performance. Zhang Jun and him really have nothing in common. Not to mention not knowing each other at all, their residences are two urban areas apart. Both of them have no intersection in their studies and life.
"Why... why did you come to them?" Ou Xueyan was completely confused. Then, she suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately said: "Wait a minute... are you sure? The one who killed Xie Xiaohao and Zhang Jun was the same person?"
"Yes. I can be sure of this. And it's 100% sure. The reason is simple," Ren Jing completely refuted Ou Xueyan's assumption: "When they died, the keywords I had foreseeed were the same."
"Keyword?" Xia Peng remembered Ren Jing's premonition ability and asked quickly: "Then...what...that keyword is..."
"'Twisted'. When the two died, I felt this keyword. Officer Xia, you should have a deep understanding of this, right?"
Speaking of this, Xia Peng immediately recalled Xie Xiaohao's body, felt a sense of disgust, and nodded silently.
Ou Xueyan was completely confused and distorted? What does it mean?
"That corpse... is really unusual..." Xia Peng could only describe it like this at this moment. Because he really didn't know how to explain the terrifying corpse to them.
Runli was at Zhang Jun's home at this moment and asked about his parents. After Zhang Jun disappeared, his parents were almost crazy, and because Runli was the last person to talk to Zhang Jun, she naturally accepted her interview.
Zhang Jun's home looks simple and his financial situation does not seem to be abundant. His parents' eyes are swollen like walnuts, and you can tell at a glance that it is a pain.
"Miss Yi... I don't quite understand, what does the death of the high school student named Xie have to do with our military army?"
Although both of them were very polite to Runli, they still couldn't help but wonder. Why did she mention the death of another person when she didn't ask about her son?
"In fact, when I was finally talking to Zhang Jun, he mentioned this name to me."
Runli lied, and this lie was taught by Ren Jing. Most people would not believe in any premonition, and Zhang Jun is dead now, even if he lies like this, he will be unproven.
As expected, the effect was immediately revealed after saying this. Zhang Jun's parents had no doubts at all. First, his mother opened up: "How could it be? Why did he tell you? I don't remember that he met that high school student..."
"He said to me at that time, 'If Xie Xiaohao dies, I will suffer bad luck too'."
In fact, the original words that Ren Jing taught her were "Xie Xiaohao is dead, I will die." However, Runli is too kind-hearted. Although Zhang Jun is indeed dead, she hopes not to tell his parents about the cruel reality so quickly.
"How is this... possible? I, I don't know, dad, do you know?"
"I don't know. Miss Yi, are you sure you heard it wrong?"
Runli rubbed her hands guiltily, and her voice involuntarily lowered: "It should be, I should have heard it right."
I can't find any valuable information here. However, Xia Peng will die tomorrow, if I don't do anything...
"Where is the military army..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jun's mother couldn't help sobbing again.
Runli also felt that if her parents had not died seven years ago, she would have enjoyed such family affection now...
Everything seemed to have happened yesterday.
"Runli... Why are you running so fast? You haven't seen your parents for a few days, so you are so excited!"
In the corridor of the corridor, Runli, excitedly jumped to the door of her house, shouting: "It's obviously brother, you're walking too slowly! I don't care! I'm just thinking about eating the baked honey cake my mother made for me!"
While speaking, he had already arrived at the door. Runli excitedly took out the key and opened the door, then ran in quickly. Runan followed closely and closed the door, saying, "This crazy head! Even the door has forgotten to close!"
"Dad! Mom!" Runli seemed to have gone to the bedroom to look for her parents, and Runan also followed her. After all, she had always missed her parents during her stay in school. Unexpectedly, before she could reach the door of the bedroom, Runli's extremely heart-wrenching scream came.
Runan suddenly felt nervous and rushed into the bedroom. Then he couldn't help but cover his mouth and retreated several steps!
"No, don't look! Runli, close your eyes!"
Runli only remembers that her brother covered her eyes, and then she was shrouded in darkness in front of her and her heart. She couldn't accept the horror scene she saw in front of her. How could it be...how could it be?
The bloody moment that could not be dissipated in the room reminded her that this was not a dream.
After the police arrived, they were also stunned by the terrifying scene. Because... the couple's body was neatly cut into three sections, and on the floor, three claw marks were left at the incisions of the two corpses! The claw marks were also identified later, but it was impossible to find out which animal it was. There were no reports of missing beasts in the park in the city.
The brother and sister who were just high school students were taken to her aunt's home for a while. This murder became the focus of the city, and reporters always came to interview her. Although she was protected by her aunt and uncle and was not harassed too much, that scene could no longer be erased in Runli's heart. For her, the feeling in her heart was more like fear than sadness.
One night, my brother woke her up in her sleep.
"Brother...what's wrong?"
"Runli, come with me and leave this city."
She rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was only one o'clock in the morning? Are the aunt and uncle still sleeping?
"Brother...what are you talking about? Why do you want to leave?"
Runan said seriously: "We must leave. Not only for ourselves, but also for the sake of not hindering our aunt and uncle. From now on, we will not be able to contact any relatives and friends."
Confused, Runli put on her clothes, then followed her brother to leave her aunt's house, and got into a taxi outside. Her brother said she wanted to go to the train station. Then, her brother began to explain the whole story to her.
"Runli, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
"Brother...Brother, don't scare me..."
"I'm sorry," Runan said this, her eyes filled with tears, and she said with a sob: "Actually, the first thing I should consider is how to avenge my parents... but I can't do it. If we hadn't lived in school that week, maybe we were dead now... In the diary left by our parents, the reason for their death was recorded in detail. At the end, they clearly told us, 'Escape'! So I must leave with you..."
"Brother, why don't you give such an important thing to the police? And, where are we going?"
"I don't know, let's leave here first. This money is enough for us to settle down temporarily. You can't go to the school anymore, and don't contact any of your classmates anymore. We must completely evaporate the world and not let the 'that thing' get our whereabouts from any channel."
Runli couldn't help but shiver, "That thing", what exactly is that?
"Listen... This is the diary, you can read it too. After reading it, you can understand why I did that..."
Runli looked at the diary in the dim lights in the car.
"Runan, Runli... When we read this passage, maybe we are dead. Listen... If we are really dead, then after seeing the diary, run away immediately and stay away from this city. Don't reveal your whereabouts to anyone. Remember, anyone! Even relatives, even best friends, can't reveal a word! This is the only way you may be saved. I don't know if the "that thing" may do to you, but in case of prevention, I can only let you do that... In a red box in the fourth drawer on the left of my desk, there is a bank draft. I have endorsed and transferred it to Runan. It is paid immediately. Banks in other cities can also get payments. The amount should be enough for you to settle down temporarily. You can consider half-working and half-study in the future. But it doesn't matter if you can't get into college. The most important thing is to survive. You must not stay in this city!
About three days ago, we were awakened by a strange sound while we were sleeping. But the sound disappeared. We thought it was a dream, so we didn't care too much. Who knew... the next morning, we actually found that there were three claw marks left on the wall outside the bedroom! The claw marks completely tore the wallpaper, and even the bricks in the wall were broken. Later, people from the property company were invited, but they could not come to a conclusion.
Could it be that some animal sneaked into our house at night? Although we were considering whether to call the police, there was no loss at home, so it would be fine if we thought about it. But... the next day... we actually found that the claw mark had moved! It turned out that the wall that was caught was completely restored as before, and the claw mark that moved its position was closer to our bedroom than yesterday! At this moment, we finally understood!
‘It’s trying to get into our bedroom! ‘It’ is approaching us!”
