It was already hot and dry in Jianghai City in June. Although it was close to dusk, the heat from the sun did not decrease in the slightest. The pedestrians on the road had changed into light, thin summer clothes. The colorful skirts of the women fluttered in the wind like fluttering butterflies.
At this moment, a person with a strange movement was shuttling through the crowd. It was a tall man around the age of twenty-five. His skin was dark, his features plain, and his appearance inconspicuous. He wore a simple white shirt and trousers, and on his feet was a pair of calfskin shoes. He deliberately shrank his body, his footsteps were light, and he tiptoed around in a cat-like manner. "His gait alternated between quick and slow.
What the hell was he doing? Shh, it's a secret, about the terrible secret a man hides in his heart — he's following a man, a woman.
Five or six meters in front of the man, a long-haired woman in a simple white shirt with a round collar and a black A-line skirt paced unhurriedly. She was quiet and beautiful, tall and slender, with long straight white legs that almost attracted the attention of passers-by.
This woman was the target of the man's pursuit.
Why follow her? Tsunami himself did not understand. In fact, he was no stalker or pervert. Even before he met Lin Yue, he was merely a shy boy who would blush if he spoke to a girl for a bit.
Perhaps it was out of curiosity, yes, this time, so many new colleagues had come to the company, and there was no lack of laid-back, showy beauties among them. But Lin Yue, who was assigned to this department, was the most special one! Judging by her facial features, she belonged to the category of beautiful beauties. However, her temperament was calm, and she naturally wouldn't put on an act. Moreover, she had a particularly striking sense of mystery about her. Lin Yue is a very low-key person, she barely communicates with her colleagues except for her work needs. A mysterious transparent veil always seemed to be draped over her. At first glance, Tsunami liked this girl who always kept her head down, but when he asked around, he only found out a few things about her — Lin Yue rarely told anyone about herself, and most of her information was kept a secret.
However, it was this mysteriousness that had piqued the tsunami's interest. Everyone had a demon in their hearts, and the tsunami that had always been tactless also turned into a devil. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he started to secretly follow Lin Yue.
Lin Yue didn't seem to be aware of her surroundings at all. The tsunami had followed her five or six times, but she hadn't noticed it at all. Everything was going smoothly, except for the odd glances that passersby occasionally shot over.
After walking through a busy path, Lin Yue turned into a deep alley. The alley was very narrow and was only about a meter wide. There was no way for a motor vehicle to enter it. High walls stood on both sides of the alley. These walls were old, and the white ashes on the walls had long since dimmed. In some places, they were even peeling off. The hot sun was blocked by the high walls, and the alley was dimly lit. A chill seemed to seep out from the cold concrete floor.
The alley was completely silent. The only sound that could be heard was the crisp sound of the tsunami. That was the sound of Lin Yue's high heels hitting the concrete floor.
Somehow, the tsunami only felt that the sound seemed to knock on his heart time and time again. A few meters away, Lin Yue was gracefully walking. Her simple white clothes and black skirt had a tinge of allure to them, as well as a pair of slender and straight legs. In the gloom of the alley, her skin was so white and smooth that he wanted to reach out and touch it.
The temperature in the alley wasn't high, but the tsunami felt an indescribable dryness gradually grow and spread through his body. It was a strange feeling, as if it was only present in the middle of the night, when he was unable to sleep. He stopped, his gaze fixed on the graceful outline of Lin Yue's body.
His mouth was parched, and he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva. The dim light dragged his shadow as long as the old elder. The dark shadow extended into the distance, and he saw that the end of his shadow was so close to Lin Yue, so close that it could almost touch her beautiful calves …
That's not right! The tsunami was shocked. His eyes were wide open and filled with shock and incredulity-- Heavens, that shadow was moving. That's right, it was moving at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye! Tsunami withdrew his horrified gaze, all the way to the bottom of his feet. That was where he should have been connected to the shadow, but now, his feet were empty! The shadow actually left the human body and moved on its own! No, I shouldn't be seeing flowers, right? Tsunami rubbed his eyes vigorously. Yes, the shadow was indeed moving farther and farther away, and the shadow was following Lin Yue. It had been lying flat on the ground, but now it was slowly standing up. Heavens, it actually had a entity that was like smoke and fog. Moreover, the color of this entity gradually turned darker, slowly turning from a dark grey to a pure black!
Tsunami looked at the entity with fear and trepidation. It had the same head, the same body, and even walked in exactly the same manner as him! But it wasn't him! Shadow, it was only a shadow. How could it have its own will and even separate itself from the body? What would happen to her without her shadow? Aren't there only ghosts that can't see shadows?
For a time, the tsunami was both shocked and afraid. His body froze, and he seemed to have fallen into a daze. His limbs did not move, only his gaze remained firmly fixed on the black shadow. He watched as it tailed Lin Yue. Its movements were light, like an invisible person, and Lin Yue did not notice it at all.
Soon, Lin Yue arrived at the end of the alley where an old two-story house stood. She walked up the stairs to the second floor and took out a key from her bag. The shadow followed it from beginning to end. Its movements were as light as a cat's, and it barely made a sound.
"Kacha!" The door was opened and Lin Yue stepped into the room with her shadow following closely behind. With a "pa" sound, the lights in the small room were turned on. It was a small room with a cozy arrangement. The bed was covered with a light purple bed sheet, and a small wind chime hung from the door. There was also a crystal display on the dressing table … This warmth and elegance didn't seem to match Lin Yue's usually aloof and mysterious personality. But now, this warmth was being destroyed by the black shadow behind her!
The shadow had followed Lin Yue home. What was it trying to do? The tsunami was shocked. An instinctive uneasiness surged through his mind like a tidal wave. What happened next made his heart leap into his throat – the black shadow actually stretched out its hand from behind and grabbed Lin Yue's neck.
Ah!" Lin Yue screamed in fear, and her hand reached to her neck in a panic, trying to push the shadow's hand away. However, in her panic, as a woman, Lin Yue did not have much strength left. She could not break free at all. The shadow let out a sinister and proud laugh. His fingers pressed even harder and Lin Yue was almost strangled to the point of not being able to breathe. Soon, Lin Yue's face turned completely red. Her eyes were half closed, her chest heaved up and down, and her lungs no longer felt any air. Her throat felt dry and painful, and her consciousness sank into a coma!
Oh no, did the shadow want to kill Lin Yue? No, no! Tsunami covered his mouth in horror. However, he guessed wrongly — when Lin Yue's body collapsed limply, the shadow suddenly let go of her hand. He wrapped his arms around Lin Yue's body and roughly ripped off her clothes. With the creaking sound of fabric breaking, Lin Yue's beautiful white body was completely exposed in the air. She opened her eyes slightly and waved her hands feebly in the air.
"Go, go …" Her voice was hoarse, her tone filled with deep fear and despair. "Save, save me … "Ahhh!"
Her voice suddenly rose up — the black shadow actually pounced forward like a hungry wolf. That head lay on Lin Yue's chest, gnawing on it.
Impudence, Shadow actually wanted to molest Lin Yue? No, how could this be? Is that my shadow? Tsunami was completely dumbfounded: in real life, he was a weak, timid person who adored Lin Yue. As a normal man, he sometimes had the thought of being intimate with Lin Yue, but he had never really thought of doing so. However, this shadow was like the infinite extension of that evil thought in his heart, it was dark, evil, and lawless!
"No, I beg you, don't …" Lin Yue's helpless sobbing did not arouse the slightest bit of sympathy or retreat from Lin Yue. On the contrary, she seemed to become even more excited as he used his hands to press down Lin Yue's hands and legs to forcefully separate her legs. Terrifying wounds appeared one after another on Lin Yue's body, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes …
"No, you can't do that!" Lin Yue's tears stabbed into the tsunami's heart. He snapped out of his daze and ran towards the room that was filled with blood and violence …
