The morning sun was rising, and the day's work had already begun in the city. Although the meteor shower last night was brilliant, it did not affect people's normal lives.

"I hate it, why do I have acne again?" A woman in business attire stood in front of the mirror and complained dissatisfiedly.

In the mirror, she frowned, and a red pimple on her forehead was very eye-catching.

"It wasn't there last night. How can I go to work?" The woman tried to cover it with her hair, but the pimple was right in the center of her forehead and couldn't be covered at all.

Even concealer couldn't cover such a big pimple at all. The woman threw down the cosmetics and rolled her eyes: "It's so annoying. I will definitely be laughed at at work."

She walked to the dining table gloomily and looked at her parents who were having breakfast. Suddenly I noticed that my parents looked a little strange today.

"Mom and Dad, didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you look a little gray on your face?" the woman asked while holding an omelette in her hands.

The parents raised their heads in confusion: "No, we both went to bed very early last night, but you stayed up so late last night to watch the shooting stars. You must have acne. I told you not to stay up late..."

The woman ate the omelette in two mouthfuls. , quickly grabbed the bag and prepared to go out: "I know, I know, oh, you guys are obviously worse than me, but you keep talking about me and talking about me every day, and my ears are getting calloused." Before

the woman went out, she suddenly thought of something, licking Licking her lips: "By the way, parents, let's buy some meat today and eat braised pork tonight." "

We were just talking about this, don't worry, we'll buy meat later."

Various supermarkets and meat shops in Chuxi City In the shop, there have been surprisingly many people buying meat since the morning. The bloody meat on the chopping board is cut into pieces. It still smells of blood, but the faces of the customers who buy the meat have the same salivation, as if The raw meat on the chopping board has turned into delicious dishes in their eyes.

At twelve o'clock at noon, people in every corner of the city began to have lunch, but today's meal not only tasted average, but was also not full.

Even though I had lunch, why do I still feel hungry and want to eat something?

I suddenly want to eat meat.

*

Lin An is also preparing to eat.

It's just that his food is a small buff dog. The white tiger fangs are only a few centimeters away from the dog's neck. In the next second, they can penetrate the neck, causing red blood to spurt out.

Realizing that the master's breath was behind him and getting closer, Xiaofu turned his head and looked at the master who was close at hand with his mouth open. He blinked his big eyes and waggled his tail happily.

Because Lin An has a mysophobia, the most intimate contact he usually has with Xiao Fu is to touch his head. At most, he also helps Xiao Fu comb his hair, brush his teeth and take a bath. But he has never been so close at this moment.

Xiaofu was very happy, wagging his tail and licking his master's face affectionately, and then continued to work hard.

Facing Lin An, it didn't have the slightest sense of caution, only full of joy and dependence.

Lin An, who was about to bite his prey, froze in place, his eyes gradually widening.

Now Zombie An's sense of smell, vision and hearing are very keen. He can smell the fresh flesh and blood under Xiaofu's fur, and naturally can smell other smells as well.

The chicken-flavored dog food has a fishy smell, which is also mixed with the smell of dog saliva. This strange smell is all over the areas where the face has been licked.

Lin An: Ouch~

He rolled around and ran away. Even though he had no reason and memory now, the place where he had been licked seemed to be corroded, which made him feel so uncomfortable that he wished he could cover his entire face. ...

how are they?

Lin An didn't know, he could only move around in panic with chicken-flavored saliva on his face.

It feels so uncomfortable, my face is so uncomfortable, it's all drool, vomit~

Xiaofu finally has enough to eat, the stainless steel rice bowl is so clean that it can make the shadow of a dog dangle out, it is simply cleaner than the one that has been washed.

He licked his mouth and walked out of the bedroom with satisfaction. He originally wanted to bask in the sun, but found his owner slowly walking in circles in the living room. The well-fed puppy walked briskly to his owner's side and stretched out his head towards him.

Master, touch it.

Although he was still hungry and could still smell the delicious smell of flesh and blood around him, the smell of this food brought him too much impact, and Lin An subconsciously avoided it.

The dog tilted its head:?

Not understanding why the owner didn't touch it, Xiaofu continued to get closer to him.

Lin An continued to avoid it.

Thinking this was a new game, Xiao Fu happily chased his master, but Lin An was too slow and was caught up by Xiao Fu before he took two steps.

After catching up, Xiaofu jumped away and then caught up again. The whole dog was very happy. It liked this game. The roles of hunter and prey were reversed. The originally ferocious hunter was defeated by the dog's saliva and could only flee in panic.

Lin An ran away slowly, and was eventually driven into the bathroom by the little prey that could spit.

I don't know if it was because he was too stimulated, but Lin An actually learned the lesson and closed the door before Xiaofu entered the bathroom.

After standing quietly at the door for a while, making sure that the creature that smelled like chicken saliva could not enter, Lin An slowly turned around.

The next moment, I was startled by the person in the mirror.

He shrunk his neck and looked at the mirror in horror with wide eyes. The person in the mirror also had the same expression. The other person looked frightened.

Lin An looked around for a long time, not realizing that the person inside was him. He even stretched out his hand to touch the other person, but in the end he only touched the hard and cold mirror. He couldn't smell flesh and blood, and he was still hungry. He quickly lost interest in the person in the mirror.

In addition to being hungry, the biggest feeling he feels now is that he feels very uncomfortable on his face. It gradually spreads from this area of ​​skin, as if his whole body is itchy, and he seems to see countless germs and stains starting from his body and moving towards the ground, air, and walls. spread until it contaminates the entire space.

Lin An even had the idea of ​​tearing off the skin that smelled of saliva, but he didn't dare to touch his cheek with his fingers.

Fingers will also be contaminated.

He needed... needed water.

Lin An finally remembered what he needed most.

He lowered his head in confusion and looked around, trying to find where the water was, but the sink was extremely clean, without even a drop of water. The soft, dry towels were neatly placed on the shelf, and there was no water anywhere.

There was only a pool of water in the toilet...

Lin An, who was not very smart, had no idea of ​​using the toilet water, but avoided it with a bit of disgust.

Finally, after searching for a long time, he accidentally came across the silver-white faucet on the sink. The transparent water slowly flowed down, and he found the water he needed.

As if he had formed a habit, Lin An bent down to wash his face. The moment the running water touched his cheeks, the uncomfortable and irritable feeling that had always made him disappeared.

The water flow kept flowing through his hands, slipping away from his fingertips and through every gap. He could not catch it or keep it, but this flow of water made Lin An extremely at ease, like a small fish in a dry pond who finally found something to feed on. A source of water for survival, calm and peaceful.

Lin An has been washing his face. His sense of smell is very keen and he can smell the slightest smell on his face.

He didn't stop until all the dog's chicken saliva smell was washed away.

He raised his wet face, and the bangs on his forehead were all wet. His ruby ​​eyes were pure and clean but without focus, making him look a little silly.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, three soft and regular knocks, and then a young male voice said: "Mr. Lin, I left your lunch at the door, and your breakfast is also at the door. Remember to take it in together."

Lin . An not only heard it, but also smelled the smell of fresh flesh and blood. It was food countless times more delicious than creatures that could spit, and the hunger she had just forgotten came back to her.

meal! The food is outside!

Lin An opened his mouth and turned around immediately, wanting to find the new and delicious food.

As a result, he hit his head on the door.

He had inadvertently closed the door just now to avoid Xiaofu, but now he couldn't open it. He could only push his head against the door and try hard, as if he wanted to push it open.

The door didn't move at all.

The smell of delicious food became farther and farther away. Lin An became anxious and banged his head against the door.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of banging on the door sounded louder and louder, but the person who delivered the food had already gone away, and only Xiaofu heard the sound in the whole room.

Lin An usually closed the door when washing, so when Xiaofu saw his master enter the bathroom, he ran to the balcony to bask in the sun. When he heard the knock on the door, he just closed his eyes and raised his tail. After all, that knock on the door happened every day. It will ring three times. The dog is used to it. The owner was still sleeping when it rang this morning.

But when he heard the sound coming from the bathroom, the dog's ears twitched and he immediately stood up.

After confirming that this was the place where the owner was, Xiaofu slowly walked to the door of the bathroom, listened to the thumping sound inside, looked at it for a while and suddenly straightened up his upper body, trying hard to put his front paws on the door handle.

But it is only half a year old, and because it had a difficult time as a puppy, it is a little smaller than other dogs of the same age and cannot reach the door handle at all.

Xiaofu jumped and jumped hard. After trying many times, he finally put his front paws on the door handle and successfully opened the door.

The capable dog successfully rescued its owner from the toilet.

Lin An walked out of it with an expressionless face, his forehead was red, and his red eyes were filled with tears. Tears slowly flowed down his expressionless cheeks, and his curled eyelashes were also moistened. Wet, I don't know whether it's because it hurts too much to hit the door, or I'm crying because I'm hungry because the food outside is missing. I look pitiful and funny at the same time.

No longer able to smell the smell of flesh and blood outside the door, Lin An slowly walked to the door. The breakfast and lunch placed outside the door did not smell appetizing at all. He stood at the door with red eyes, as if waiting for the food to be delivered to the door again.

Xiaofu also squatted at the door for a while, and Lin An ignored it completely. The incident of being licked with saliva just left a very bad memory on him, and he had already removed the saliva jet from the food.

Half an hour later, Lin An was still standing there.

Xiaofu had already gone back to his room to find toys to entertain himself, but no one outside still came.

Lin An touched his belly and lowered his head in disappointment.

The moment he lowered his head, his vision suddenly froze somewhere.

On the light wooden floor, a crystal drop of water fell squarely on the ground.

It fell from Lin An. He only remembered to wash his face, but forgot to wipe it clean. His whole face was wet, and even his bangs and hands were dripping.

He slowly turned his head and looked behind him. Starting from the bathroom door, the water stains on the ground extended to his feet.

Among them were dog paw prints that Xiaofu had just stepped on and carried to other places.

Staring blankly at the water stains on the floor, Lin An began to feel uncomfortable again.

It looks so uncomfortable, and it feels so uncomfortable not to wipe it clean.

Even if you no longer have memory, muscle memory will still remain after doing something you have done countless times. Lin An found the mop and started mopping the floor slowly from the door. Even after the mop became dirty, he would wash the mop again and continue mopping the floor.

Looking at the shiny floor, Lin An had no expression on his face, but he felt much more comfortable in his heart.

Next, wiping the table and wiping the furniture became a matter of course.

The industrious little zombie was cleaning the dining table, but suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the door.

I could smell fresh flesh and blood again.

Although not the same person as before, there was more food this time than last time.

Chaotic footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door, heading straight towards here. The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and the scent of flesh and blood that Lin An smelled became stronger and stronger.

One, two, three, four pieces of food.

Gudong!

Lin An couldn't control the secretion of saliva. He had been hungry for a long time. He put down the cloth in his hand and stumbled towards the door.

He still couldn't open the door, so he could only smell the fresh smell of human flesh outside through the door.

I'm so hungry, I really want to eat.

There was a loud knock on the door, followed by a lazy tone: "Xiao An, I know you are at home, please open the door."

Lin An, who had opened his mouth in a hurry to eat, heard the familiar voice, and his pupils shrank slightly, as if he was pressing a button. I pressed the pause button and stood motionless.
