"Liu Xiuqin——"
"Arrived!!" Jiang Li responded loudly.
After she rushed in, what greeted her was the serious and cold face of a female dean of academic affairs.
Jiang Li made a lot of noise.
So much so that the other teachers in the room were disturbed by Jiang Li's actions and all looked towards the door.
Except for the dean, who looked slightly annoyed, every other person's face had lifeless fish eyes.
Jiang Li kept pushing the door and entering.
Her back was soaked with sweat, and the cool breeze outside the door gave her a chill.
The dean's sharp eyes swept over her, and then continued to call other people's names.
After the roll call, no one was absent, and the dean's expression softened slightly.
The director pushed up the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose and ordered in a deep voice:
"All teachers who are on duty today, please go to the meeting next door with me immediately and bring pen and paper."
After that, the group of people left the teaching room and went to the next door.
The meeting lasted all morning.
Throughout the morning, one rule was emphasized:
[At all times, please put the safety of students first. 】
In the afternoon, Jiang Li was taken to the class where he originally worked.
There were three familiar faces in the class. They were the three students Jiang Li met at the Red Cross Hospital in the morning.
They are three very cute, slightly socially anxious girls.
After a long day of work, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
It's long past get off work time.
Jiang Li tidied up the things on the workstation and was about to get up and leave when Hong Ying made a request.
"Mommy, can we take a detour back? I don't want to see that old man with high heels."
Hong Ying's tone was a bit coquettish, and he seemed to be really shy.
Jiang Li's eyes flashed.
Of course she knew that avoiding the thing was the safest thing to do.
But this is the world of ghost stories. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.
Jiang Li had an intuition.
She felt that the strange old man who appeared many times might be the key to unlocking the copy.
"Baby, Mommy has something to do, so there is no way to take a detour. Otherwise, you can take a detour and go home first to wait for Mommy."
Hong Ying held her face and thought for a while before agreeing to Jiang Li's plan.
"Okay then." Hong Ying jumped off Jiang Li's shoulders and waved to Jiang Li coolly, "Then I'll go first, mommy."
"good."
After saying goodbye to Hong Ying, Jiang Li came to the alley alone.
Jiang Li thought calmly for a few seconds.
Then he walked to a ruined building, picked up a few handy bricks, and put them into the space.
After making these preparations, Jiang Li stepped in.
In the alleyway at night, under the dim light of the street lights, I could barely see the road clearly.
Jiang Li specially put away the sachet to prevent the strange old man from smelling the smell and running away.
It was very quiet in the alley, so quiet that it made people feel sick.
Jiang Li's every step was filled with caution.
Already halfway through the streets.
Just when Jiang Li thought the strange old man wouldn't show up, he came!
Not only did the strange old man appear, he even blocked the path of three passing girls.
Hearing the girl's cry for help, Jiang Li recognized that she was a student in her class.
In Jiang Li's mind, the rules he had studied all morning appeared consciously -
[At all times, please put the safety of students first! 】
Jiang Li finally understood.
It turned out that I had learned the rules all morning and was waiting for her here.
Now, she is going to confront the strange old man head-on and uncover the secrets of this strange old man!
"Stop." Jiang Li stood up and shouted coldly.
The strange old man grabbed the student's hand and gave it a slap.
He raised his head with a strange smile and looked at Jiang Li, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
The three female students took the opportunity to break free and ran away in a panic.
In the pitch-black alley, only the strange old man and Jiang Li were left.
Jiang Li stared at him closely and was about to ask questions.
Unexpectedly, the thing suddenly teleported to Jiang Li and grabbed her neck.
Jiang Li was pushed down and forced to sit in a corner.
At the critical moment, she took out the space brick and hit the strange old man on the head.
Again and again.
Every time he exerted force, the strange old man let out a dull cry of pain.
Finally, the strange old man closed his eyes and let go of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li immediately stood up and ran away.
Just when she stood up, Jiang Li felt that her body was particularly light, as if she had been separated from her original body.
Is this... a clone? !
Jiang Li turned around to check strangely, only to find that there was an identical wife lying in the corner just now!
The strange old man's eyes that had been closed suddenly opened again.
He let out a weird laugh and stretched out his dirty hands towards his wife's body.
The wife was struggling and begging for help, but no one answered her.
Jiang Li tried to reach out to help, but found that his hand actually penetrated their bodies.
In the chaos, the wife bit off half of the old man's ear and spit it on the ground.
While the old man was covering his ears, she got up and dialed her husband's phone number.
The wife was running and talking on the phone.
The phone rang for seven or eight seconds and was finally connected!
Before the wife had time to speak, the strange old man with scarlet eyes pounced on her.
He covered his wife's mouth, pinched her slender neck, and dragged her to a deserted corner.
The wife's cell phone fell to the ground.
On the phone, my husband’s voice came——
"Hello, wife? Hello...can you hear me?"
"Are you okay? If nothing happens, I'll hang up. There's swine fever here at the pig farm, so things are quite busy."
"Hello?……"
There was silence for a few seconds, and then there was the sound of the call being hung up.
Jiang Li stood aside, like a ghost, witnessing the entire process of his wife being insulted.
She tried to stop him, but she couldn't help it.
The tragedy happened in front of her, and Jiang Li felt powerless.
After the incident, the strange old man took away his wife's clothes.
The injured wife’s hair was messy and she was crying dryly.
She lay down on the ground in a state of near madness, picked up her cell phone, and called the police.
Police cars quickly arrived at the scene.
Jiang Li heard several police officers discussing:
"That old man in women's clothing is a psychopath. It's difficult to handle all his behavior during the period of mental illness without breaking the law..."
"Is there a guardian?"
"No, I heard he is a homeless man."
"..."
The wife's mental state is very bad.
Her lips turned white and her body was shaking violently.
Jiang Li stood nearby, trying to attract others' attention by shouting and touching.
But unfortunately, no one could see her.
Occasionally, Jiang Li saw her face reflected on the window glass of the police car.
There were no facial features or anything on her face.
【Who are you? 】
Jiang Li felt a man's question ringing in his ears.
That voice, Jiang Li was sure, was asking her.
At this time, the wife was also being questioned by the police.
The policeman put some clothes on his wife: "What's your name?"
The wife buried her head, her voice as thin as a gossamer, "...Liu Xiuqin."
Since his wife is Liu Xiuqin, who is Jiang Li now?
【who are you? 】
The voice of inquiry rang in Jiang Li's ears again.
Jiang Li knew that she could be anyone now, but she could never be "Liu Xiuqin".
Jiang Li thought for two seconds.
The original rule came to her mind.
Family Rules, Number One:
[Remember, your name is Zhang Hui! Your name is Zhang Hui! Your name is Zhang Hui! Never forget your name. No matter who asks your name, please tell him that your name is Zhang Hui. 】
Jiang Li's voice was firm: "My name is Zhang Hui."
As soon as these words came out.
Jiang Li's lost facial features returned to her face again.
Jiang Li fell into the void.
【sure? May I have your name? 】
"I'm sure, my name is Zhang Hui."
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, the void in front of her eyes disappeared again, and her eyes returned to brightness.
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes.
At this time, she was sitting at the psychiatrist's desk.
The person who asked her name was the male doctor in front of her.
After hearing Jiang Li's words, the doctor shook his head solemnly.
He looked at his husband and said, "Your wife suffers from severe schizophrenia."
"That incident hit her hard."
"In order to escape the pain, she imagined another version of herself."
