48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng opened his grandfather's public and returned to the vicinity of Baqing's neighborhood.

He searched the street for a unit building where he could see the Paqing family, but the camera couldn't take a picture, parked the car, turned it off, pulled out the keys, and then... it was time to wait.

This is also the most boring and tiring part. Even if nothing happens for the time being, he can't just close his eyes or leave the surveillance site. Good thing Zhang Heng was prepared for this. He went to the back seat and grabbed his notebook, which contained several dramas and small films that he had previously downloaded.

Zhang Hengpoint opened an old fan called "Penguin Swivel Tank", and then continued watching episode 6, during which he would take a look at the direction of the Paqing family every other time.

From the previous chat, Zhang Heng knew that the Paqing family lived on the sixth floor. The window on the north side should be the bedroom of Paqing, while on the west side is the living room, which is now dark.

Paqing usually went to bed at 11: 00, but tonight because of a lot of things, she waited until Zhang Heng came home, and the two chatted via WeChat for about half an hour before saying good night to each other.

Zhang Heng seemed to be able to see Paqing shrinking in bed, banging her phone in the dark bedroom, and the blue light from the screen lit up on her face...

Zhang Heng watched episode 13 of "Penguin Swivel Tank", and then the battery couldn't hold up, so Zhang Heng threw the notebook back into the back seat, stretched a lazy waist, and moved his bones.

So far, nothing has happened at Paqing's house. Zhang Heng looked at the watch. It is 2: 55 a.m., there is no one over the street. The whole city is quiet like "Silent Hill" in the game.

Zhang Heng then dropped two drops of eye drops into a slightly sour eye. At 3: 20, he saw a stray dog picking up a trash can on his right hand side. At 3: 45, Zhang Heng moved his lower body, dropped some seats, and then leaned over it.

He was just trying to take a nap, but didn't think he'd come after closing his eyes.

Zhang Heng opened his eyes in confusion and found himself not in the car anymore, but standing in a small town.

Is it a dream?

Zhang Heng thought about the dream he had recently had of being surrounded by those things on the beach.

But this time the dream was obviously a bit different, more age-old, and hidden… it made him feel familiar.

Zhang Heng, however, does not recall having visited the town, both in reality and in copy, which is undoubtedly a port town with almost disgusting smells of fish in the air, a narrow sandy area beneath the embankment with a number of simple shacks on it and fishing next to it.

Zhang Heng noticed the white bell tower not far away, made of brick, with rivers passing underneath, and the other side of the embankment. The black line that appeared hidden between the waves looked very evil.

In fact, the whole town had an uncomfortable atmosphere, and although the town centre was densely built, a more ruined one, the roofs of many houses had even collapsed, the walls seemed to rot, there were abandoned railroads in the streets, and there were already deserted grasses on both sides.

The architectural style seems to be Western in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but the overall tone is much darker and more accurately, the town is like a cursed town, full of haze even in the sky.

But I don't know if it's because too much emotion has passed. Zhang Heng didn't feel too uncomfortable after noticing the surrounding scene. Instead, he hid a feeling of being a guest at a friend's house.

It makes his mind a little strange.

Zhang Heng followed the pebble-paved trail down to a square. Although there are incandescent lights nearby, the lighting is low due to the low power, not only does it provide little brightness, but it feels very depressed standing below.

On the road, Zhang Heng saw no one but a few dirty fishermen on the embankment, until he came to the square, Zhang Heng saw an old man, who was walking around like a factory building.

Zhang Heng greeted him in English, but he didn't respond.

He didn't turn back until Zhang Heng put his palm on his shoulder.

It was a deformed and ugly face with a narrow and flat head, collapsed nosebumps, raised eyes, sparkling brightness, wrinkles on both sides of the neck, no hair on the bald head, and scabs on the skin.

The old man opened his mouth with a hissing, sharp throat, “Are you… finally here? ”

Zhang Hengzheng wanted to ask him what that meant, but the next moment he suddenly woke up from this strange dream, and it came and went fast, like an elk hidden in the woods.

Once caught by a distant glance, he slipped back into the forest in alarm.

Zhang Heng then heard a scream. He looked up and found the living room of the Paqing family lit up again. If the scream didn't come as a surprise, it came from Paqing.

Zhang Heng looked at the time on his eyes and found it had reached 4: 47 and couldn't help but cry out in his heart.

Now that he has physical and mental control, even if he is tired of fighting all night, he can no longer fall asleep without any sleep intentions. Therefore, the dream was absolutely unusual, but Zhang Heng is temporarily unclear whether the dream is related to his own descent or to the heretics of this copy.

He also didn't have time to check his body and rushed out of the car, shut the door, crossed the green belt at a speed of 100 meters, then turned over the railing and jumped into the community.

This unexpected feeling somewhat disrupted Zhang Heng's previous plans.

However, since Paqing will scream, which at least means she should still be safe, because of this scream, many households upstairs and downstairs have lit up the lights, especially the two households living on the ground floor, angrily ran out again, Zhang Heng also took the opportunity to enter the unit building.

He ran up the stairs to the sixth floor.

I was going to go through the windows, but I didn't expect the Baqing house door to be open.

After seeing the scene in the house, Zhang Heng can understand why Bai Qing screamed.

The former living room is now known as a slaughterhouse, perhaps more appropriate.

There was blood everywhere on the wall and on the floor, and Zhang Heng had previously seen Baqing's mother downstairs fall into the blood pocket. Her little abdomen was all knifed and wounded. She seemed to have at least a dozen knives, and her entire abdomen was almost cut open. At such a serious time, she had long lost her breath, and the panic in her eyes was forever defined at that moment.

And in the center of the living room, her husband, who had lived with her for 20 years, was standing in front of her body, covered in blood, and he was holding a fruit knife in his right hand.
