In the morning of early summer, the cool breeze brought a coolness.
With the improvement of the technological level of human society, the crime rate has also increased at an extremely fast rate, and the number of abnormal deaths and disappearances has increased year by year.
Where humans gather is a breeding ground for various dark creatures.
Miracle City is a very lively and prosperous metropolis, but at this moment there are very few pedestrians on a street far away from the city center, and the surroundings are silent.
Mu Fei started running as soon as he jumped out of the taxi.
Because a friend who was falling out of love had drank two more drinks with him the night before, he got up late today.
As he was running, suddenly a figure rushed out of the alley next to him and bumped into him.
Mu Fei, who was knocked to the ground, was about to curse, but the man jumped up as if being chased by a beast and hurried away without looking back. ran away.
How rude.
Mu Fei looked at the man's back and cursed in his heart.
Just as he was about to get up, he felt a hard object pressed under his palm.
It felt cold and didn't look like a pebble on the road.
He couldn't help but pick it up.
It was actually a short knife with an extremely strange shape.
The blade was only one palm long, twisted like a snake, and the rusty surface looked not sharp at all.
Is it the person who fell just now?
Mu Fei was thinking as he touched the edge of the knife, but felt a stinging pain in his fingertips.
Before he could stop his hand, a drop of blood seeped out from his fingertips and fell on the seemingly dull part of the dagger. on the blade.
The rusty blade suddenly flashed with white light, and Mu Fei couldn't help but close his eyes.
After the white light passed, he slowly opened his eyes and looked down.
The rusty dagger originally held in his hand had disappeared without a trace.
Mu Fei stared at his palm, and after several confirmations, he was sure that there was nothing in his hand.
Only the tingling on his fingertips reminded him that this was not a dream.
Could it be that he was hallucinating because he was not sober?
With his drinking capacity, a few glasses of wine should not have such a big impact.
Wait, what is this?
Mu Fei caught a glimpse of something at his cuffs, and pulled his sleeves down.
"What the hell is this?"
Mu Fei shouted with his eyes widened.
He found a strange pattern appeared on the wrist under his palm.
It was about five centimeters long and two centimeters wide.
The shape looked like a black cross, but it formed a cross.
The parts are not straight lines but curved and twisted lines like snakes, making the whole pattern look very weird.
What's going on?
Mu Fei rubbed hard, his skin turned red but he still couldn't remove the pattern.
He had never been rebellious in adolescence, but he got an extra tattoo out of nowhere, which made him feel embarrassed.
After sitting on the ground and being stunned for a long time, Mu Fei felt that everything that happened was too fantasy and had no sense of reality at all.
The sudden ringing of his cell phone brought him back to reality.
"I said Mu Mu, why are you not here yet?
What time is it?
Do you not want to participate in the interview with our company?"
Lin Wenyou's urgent voice came from the phone just after the call was connected.
"Damn, I'll be there soon."
Remembering that he was rushing to the interview, Mu Fei jumped up from the ground, patted his butt and ran forward quickly.
Damn it, I almost forgot that there is still something serious to do When he arrived, Lin Wenyou was already standing outside the building waiting for him.

"Eight twenty-five, you are really on time."
Lin Wenyou started scolding.
"You have the nerve to blame me.
If I hadn't been drinking with you last night, I wouldn't have woken up late."
Mu Fei glared at this friend who had been a loser for thousands of years with dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault.
Aren't you in a bad mood after being broken up?
If you don't hurry in, the interview will start in five minutes."
Lin Wenyou said while pushing him into the building.
"I said wood, just wear this and go in."
After a few steps, Lin Wenyou stopped and asked with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"What's wrong?
Isn't it nice?"
The two of them bought this suit together.
"The clothes are very good, but your shoes" Lin Wenyou pointed at his feet.
Mu Fei looked down in the direction pointed by the other party, and suddenly felt the urge to die.
He actually ran out wearing slippers "What should I do now?"
He really wanted to hit the wall at this moment.
Mu Fei looked at Lin Wenyou with tears streaming down his face.
"I've never seen anyone so stupid as you."
Lin Wenyou said with an expression that said he hated iron.
"There's no time for you to go back and change your shoes now.
Just wear my shoes for a while."
Then he exchanged shoes with Mu Fei.
There is a slight difference in height between the two of them.
Lin Wenyou is 1.85 meters tall and tall, while Mu Fei is only 1.76 meters tall and is relatively skinny.
The shoes they wore were two sizes different, so they had to find facial tissue.
It can barely be worn by tucking it into the heel.
He staggered to the interview place and found that there were several people waiting outside the door.
Mu Fei walked over to find a chair and sat down to wait at the door with the others.
As soon as he sat down, he felt a line of sight.
He raised his head and saw a woman with heavy makeup sitting opposite him looking at him.
After being spotted, the woman did not look away immediately.
Instead, she looked at him with a look in her eyes.
Full of contempt and disdain.
Well, he is being looked down upon.
It is indeed his fault that he did not have time to comb his hair because he was in a hurry in the morning.
But with the makeup on the other side so thick, will your mother still recognize you?
Muttering silently in his heart, Mu Fei stopped paying attention to the boring woman opposite him, withdrew his gaze and sat upright, waiting quietly.
After waiting for a while, the girl with heavy makeup opposite was called in first.
About ten minutes after he entered, the female secretary came out again and said, "Mu Fei, next."
Mu Fei stood up when he heard his name.
The female secretary looked him up and down with a smile, and said without any change in her expression: "Please follow me."
After hearing this, Mu Fei quickly followed and followed the secretary into the room.
The moment he walked in, a woman with heavy makeup walked out.

Mu Fei stepped aside.
At this time, he didn't know whether the other party did it intentionally or unintentionally.
The woman kicked his heel.
Originally, this This degree would not have any impact on him, but today because he was wearing a pair of shoes that didn't fit, he couldn't control his balance for a while.
Mu Fei stumbled and bumped into the female secretary who was leading the way.
The female secretary was hit so hard that she immediately lost her balance and fell forward, with the information she was holding flying out of her hands.
At this time, Mu Fei felt that everything around him seemed to have been pressed on the delay button, and all movements became extremely slow.
Without thinking, he reached out his hand and grabbed the female secretary's waist, while holding the female secretary's waist with his other hand.
Lived and flew out of the information.
Just as he finished all this, the slow motion around him also returned to its original state.
What happened just now?
Mu Fei frowned strangely.
At this moment, he felt something strange and couldn't help but raise his head, only to find that everyone in the room was staring at him, dumbfounded as if he had seen something strange.
Only then did Mu Fei realize that he was still holding the female secretary's waist.
He quickly helped her up and handed her the information in her hand.
He said sheepishly: "I'm sorry."
The female secretary took the information in a daze, as if she still didn't understand what happened.
Just as Mu Fei was about to lift his feet, he found that one of the shoes was missing.
When he looked again, the shoe was lying on the desk in the center of the room, and behind the desk was sitting the examiner for this interview.
The interviewer looked to be in his thirties at most, and his originally handsome face looked a little funny due to surprise.
He seemed to have just discovered that there was an extra leather shoe in front of him.
Mu Fei's depression was at its peak at the moment, and he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"Ahem, Mr.
Mu."
The examiner came to his senses first, looked down at the introduction in the document and said, "Your shoes."
He picked up the leather shoe and handed it to Mu Fei.
Mu Fei held on to the wall with a tangled look on his face and slowly jumped over.
He awkwardly said "Thank you" and stretched out his hand to take it.
However, the moment his hand touched the shoe, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his wrist, and he subconsciously took it back.
Hands and shoes slipped from their hands and fell to the ground.
Mu Fei frowned slightly and held his wrist, discovering that the strange pattern was slightly red, and the burning sensation was caused by it.
There seemed to be a trace of black smoke lingering on the forehead of the interviewer in front of him.
This smoke made him feel an ominous feeling in his heart.
At the same time, he also felt that his blood was flowing faster in his body.
Strange, what is going on?
Mu Fei was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing.
Under the puzzled gaze of the other party, he bent down to put on his shoes with a feverish face.
The burning sensation in his wrist and the black mist on the interviewer's forehead disappeared instantly, and the strange feeling in his body also calmed down at the same time, as if what he just felt was just his illusion.
After such an episode, the next interview became much simpler.
Because after that, his brain was completely stuck on the strange phenomena before, and he couldn't remember what the other party asked and what he answered.
As you can imagine, the result ended in failure.
After graduating from university, Mu Fei lived alone in Miracle City.
He originally worked in a private company, and the salary was not high, but it was relatively free, which allowed him to have time to do things he liked.
However, the manager of their department was not only harsh, but also extremely naughty.
Mu Fei really couldn't stand it.

A month ago, he caught him teasing a new young girl.
One punch.
But the final result of upholding justice is that he loses his job.
Although some people applauded at that time, no one was really willing to stand up and speak for him.
He didn't feel particularly sad because he knew that this was human nature and that under normal circumstances people were unwilling to cause trouble.
Although his meager savings are enough to last him for a while, if he keeps sitting on nothing, he will end up on the street sooner or later.
In order not to turn into a beggar, finding a job has become the most important thing on his agenda.
In the next few days, Mu Fei spent his time constantly submitting resumes, applying for jobs and failing.
The constant failures made him feel depressed.
That night, he drank some wine alone at a small restaurant near his home.
When he came out, he saw two familiar figures.
Mu Fei looked at the man and woman in the distance strangely.
The woman was indeed the girl with heavy makeup that I met during the interview that day.
But he was not sure about that man, he felt like an interviewer.
What are the two of them doing here at this time?
If that man is really the interviewer, did the two of them hook up during the interview?
I didn't expect this man to look well-dressed, and his taste is too low.
Of course, Mu Fei just casually gossiped in his heart.
After all, what others did had nothing to do with him.
After thinking about it casually, he was about to turn around and go back.
But when he turned around, he suddenly saw something strange.
Mu Fei thought he had seen it wrong, so he looked over carefully to make sure it was not his illusion.
Two horns that seemed to be condensed from black smoke appeared vaguely on the man's head, which looked extremely strange and ominous.
At the same time, bursts of burning sensation came from his wrist again.
Different from the previous feeling, this time the burning sensation was very weak.
Now Mu Fei was almost certain that the man was the interviewer that day.
The two times I saw this man, I reacted to the pattern on his wrist.
It was no coincidence.
Just as Mu Fei was thinking about it, he saw the two people walking in the opposite direction to him after talking for a few words.
What should I do?
Should I go over and see?
Mu Fei struggled in his mind.
He felt that all this was unusual and might be dangerous, but it was obviously related to the pattern on his wrist.
His instinct to avoid dangerous things still failed to overcome his curiosity, so he followed quietly
