Chapter 23: The so-called guardianship

Leng Shan quietly looked at the man with a strange smile, this is a small road next to the Xishan Apartment at No. 9 Dacheng Road, West Fourth Ring Road, Beijing, although this undeveloped community has long been filled with impatient owners, and it can also be called one of the best luxury apartments in Beijing, but the dilapidated highway and the dust that continues to rise are the true portrayal of the current situation of this apartment, although the developer who is too procrastinating has repeatedly promised that the promised community will be brought to the owners in the near future, but, like many promises, this near future, is always late, the man gently bypassed a half-hidden small door, Familiar with the car into the backyard of Xishan Apartment, in a burst of silver bell-like laughter, hugged his girlfriend who welcomed out of the house early.

"I'm really reluctant to send you away, but I also have a girlfriend. Leng Shan squinted, pressed the hat on his head deeply, avoided the dazzling sunlight, walked to the half-hidden door, took out a lock, and locked the small door tightly into the chain, then turned around and walked to a low wall a hundred meters east of the small door, leaned down, opened the manhole cover about three meters in front of the gap in the low wall, and then took out a rope tied with bricks from the schoolbag behind him, and threw it down, with a popping sound of falling water, the rope slowly went deep into the water layer of the deep well of the sewer under the drag of the bricks, and after a long time, looking at the scale on the rope that marked the depth of five meters, Leng Shan smiled。

"What is he doing?" Looking at Leng Shan's weird smile, Su Xing, who was standing on the roof of Building 1 of Xishan Apartment, frowned, turned to ask Mu En.

"Probably preparing to kill someone. Mu En smiled and said: "Xishan Apartment, although it sells well, and the developer has made a lot of money, but the last few payments have not been in place, and the rest of the project has been shelved, this matter has been in an uproar, and the newspapers have also published it, and the angry migrant workers blocked the gate, and the owner didn't dare to say anything, so he had to detour around some paths, that man, walking, isn't this such a path?"

"If you lock the little door, you're going to have to change your way, right?"

"Of course, there are too many people walking through this small door, and there is nothing to move, if it is the low wall, it will be different, we followed Leng Shan here for a few days, and you, too, found out, that thing, right?" Mu En smiled and said: "That man, sometimes, likes to jump over the wall, and the gap in the low wall, only that guy can easily jump over the height of more than one meter and eight." ”

"And what is the sewer for?" Wake nodded and asked again.

"Beijing is a fragile city, fragile to a heavy rain, you can flood the imperial capital, unfortunately, tomorrow, there will be such a heavy rain, although it will not be swallowed by the heavy rain, but there is some stagnant water in the sewer that is indispensable, as long as this time tomorrow, that man, continue to jump over the low wall, then it will be difficult for him to live. ”

"No one would be stupid enough to jump into a well by themselves. Su Xing shook his head and smiled with some disdain: "The person you chose is not as terrible as you say." ”

"Indeed, it is irrational to do without a trace, to destroy the manhole cover, and to uncover the manhole cover will also be avoided by the man. Mu En nodded, showed an indifferent smile, looked at Su Xing, and said: "However, if it wasn't for Leng Shan to open that manhole cover, I'm afraid even you wouldn't have found it, under that loess, there is such a thing, right?"

"Indeed... That's right. Awakened for a moment, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "This place is messy, the loess is everywhere, that man is afraid that he doesn't know, there is such a deep well under his feet, as long as he is properly covered up like a trap game when he was a child, he can be tricked into it." ”

"There's still a good show, it's just that we'll have to wait until tomorrow. Mu En looked at the figure of Leng Shan gradually moving away, sighed in a low voice with a somewhat complicated expression, and said to Su Xing: "Let's go." ”

"Is this the end of it?" Su Xing frowned and said: "How can there be an eternal thing in this world, that man will not only walk such a road forever, not to mention, the manhole cover is still more than three meters away from the low wall, this time tomorrow, he bypassed the manhole cover, how will the cold mountain end?"

"It's really not like you. Mu En was slightly stunned, looked at Su Xing with a smile, and said, "Do you really want him to succeed?"

"I just want to see how similar another him in that world is. The gloom on Su Xing's face flashed, turned into a lot of merciless ridicule, looked at Mu En and smiled: "It's a pity, he, after all, is different, you can't win him." ”

"I really don't know what he's doing, or the only thing I know is that he's been standing by and watching, and I can't do anything with such a person. Mu En smiled faintly, met the awakened gaze, shook his head, and said: " But even so, the winner of this game, will not be him, from the day he met Mr., no, from the day he disappeared from your side, he has betrayed what he believes in, when everything becomes a game, winning or losing becomes something that doesn't matter at all, he doesn't care who has the last laugh, only cares about the so-called sense of existence that this game brings him, a person who doesn't care about winning or losing, can never be a winner, he accepted my challenge calmly, and then, let everything happen, what he was waiting for, you really, understand?”

"Where do you understand that person?" Su Xing sneered and said, "You know, I'm the one who gets along with him day and night!"

"Once, the person who got along with him day and night is no longer you. Mu En laughed and said, "Don't forget, there is a silly girl like a flower by his side." ”

"You..." Su Xing took a deep breath, his eyes dimmed, lowered his head, and whispered: "It's really, understand, what is he waiting for?"

"He's waiting, sir and I, to go to the grave of failure. Mu En smiled faintly: "Sometimes, a person can get what he wants without doing anything, not because he is too lucky, but because that person believes that his opponent is stupid enough." ”

"He's, will, see. A trace of reluctance and compassion flashed in his eyes, and he bit his lip and said: "You and Mr., you have made too many mistakes, so wrong, you have dug your own grave, why can't you stop?"

"Because, I'm going to protect it. Mu En smiled faintly and said: "The person who once wanted to protect the weak in the world gave up his ideals, but the dark ink can't disappear like this, and those who need us are still struggling there, so we stood up and guarded the world for him, although our light will be darker, but we are still, we are guarding!"

"Let everyone hate you?" Su Xing's smile was full of pain and struggle, shaking his head and muttering: "Your protection, in the end, is nothing more than turning those raccoon dogs into tigers and wolves, pushing the weak into the abyss, this is no longer ours, dark ink." ”

"Your dark ink?" Mu En sneered and said: "Erase the tiger wolf, and then, those weak people really stand up from now on? No, they will never stand up, they will only wait for those strong people to step under their feet again, and then cry, begging you to stand up again, the dark ink that treats the symptoms but not the root cause, really, can you protect the weak people in this world?"

"Not everybody can stand up. Su Xing shook his head and said: "Not everyone has the courage to give up their lives and become people like you and Leng Shan, they are just ordinary people, what they want is just a simple life, a job, someone who loves each other, a family, friends, and a barely passable life, Mr. is wrong, from the beginning, it was wrong, it was wrong back then, and now, it is still wrong, you just bear it, watch him, and continue on this road?"

"Sir, it has always been right, even if it is wrong, it is right. Mu En glanced at Su Xing with deep meaning, and said with a faint smile: " Actually, what you said, I, have always understood, the so-called, can protect the weak, only the weak themselves, just an ideal, not all people can protect themselves, they need people like us, and those strong to guard their lives, the weak are poor people, they are pitiful, because they always want others to stand up and do what they want to do but dare not do, they hate, but forgivable, but, the person who can protect them, now does not want to protect them, so, only Mr. is left, you should understand, sir, there are not many days left, but to live, although, he looks, very young. ”

"Yes, he doesn't have many days to live, but he still won't look back. Su Xing whispered with a worried face: "I really don't know what will become of him when all the efforts prove that he is wrong." ”

"I know why, even if I understand that Mr. and I have always been wrong, do I still have to do this game and prove to that person that I am right?" Mu En asked himself lightly and replied: " It's because, even if it's a game where he doesn't care about winning or losing, he will make himself the one who controls the game, because, the game that is not in his hands will make him unable to experience the joy of the game, so, sir, it's always right, when all the efforts are proven wrong by that person, Mr. will get what he wants, and Dark Ink and him will continue to protect the world for Mr. and us!"
