Chapter 8: The Black Mark
Ren Pingsheng finally woke up from his deep sleep, he opened his worried eyes, looked around, it was still an unfamiliar environment, he had already put life and death out of it, and there was no panic in his heart.
The scenes before he fell unconscious played slowly in his mind, and the bloody images lingered in front of him, as if there was a kind of magic that made his blood boil. The black killing sword erected in the corner of the wall caught his attention, and there was still a striking color left on the blade.
He tried to get up, but found that his body was covered with gauze, and he couldn't move, and the violent movements tore the wound that was about to heal, and the heart-rending pain spread throughout his body, deeply tormenting his nerves.
Ren Pingsheng stared at the ceiling silently in a daze, his empty gaze was stagnant, he felt that he had a long dream, and he met many people in the dream, vague, hazy, and couldn't see the slightest face. I only remember a hand caressing his face, the feeling of gentle soothing, unprecedented, made his iron heart almost melt.
The sound of cautious footsteps came into Ren Pingsheng's ears, and he turned his head to look, only to find that it was Mu Yanshan, which he expected, except for Mu Yanshan, I am afraid that no one will save him.
Mu Yanshan inadvertently saw Ren Pingsheng who woke up, her expression was stagnant, and her footsteps stopped immediately, crystal tears swirled in her eyes, after all, she couldn't bear to snatch her eyes, her pear blossoms brought rain, mixed with a smile, and trotted all the way to Ren Pingsheng.
"You finally woke up, you know what, you lost your breath and I thought you were dead. ”
"Yes, how can a person like me who is a murderer be favored by the heavens? ”
Ren Pingsheng's eyes are calm, he is alone, he has no worries, whether he is alive or dead, he does not force it.
"No, I want you to live. ”
Mu Yanshan's beautiful eyes were full of tears, her expression was slightly stubborn, and she stared at Ren Pingsheng speechless for a long time, making his heart furious.
Ren Pingsheng looked away, not looking at Mu Yanshan, his fiery gaze made him a little overwhelmed, he snorted coldly, and pretended to be fierce:
"Don't forget, I'm a killer, you see me for what I really are, and I'll kill you before I leave. ”
Mu Yanshan smiled, she stroked her hair, leaned down to approach Ren Pingsheng, and responded softly:
"You saved my life, it should have belonged to you. ”
"Na, this is black fish soup, listen to the nanny Ah Xiang, it will help the wound to recover, it is not hot, open your mouth and drink it quickly. ”
While Mu Yanshan spoke, she picked up the porcelain bowl and handed the spoon to Ren Pingsheng's mouth.
Ren Pingsheng stared at the sincere Mu Yanshan and was silent for a moment, he really couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, coupled with hunger, he still reluctantly opened his mouth.
The dark fragrance floated, rushing to his face, frantically pouring into Ren Pingsheng's nasal cavity, and the refreshing fragrance made his heart tremble, and he suddenly lost his soul, and couldn't help but look at it. A slightly slim black dress reveals her graceful figure, with a flawless face, a smile like a flower, and eyes like a clear spring. A cold and beautiful that rejects people, revealing a fascinating feminine charm everywhere.
Ren Pingsheng's abnormality, Mu Yanshan saw it all in her eyes, she covered her mouth and chuckled, and a hint of joy flashed in her beautiful eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the years passed, time flies, the two spent a hard-won peaceful time in this villa, and after the intimate care of Mu Yanshan, Ren Pingsheng's injuries gradually improved, and he was able to walk on the ground.
When he was taking a bath, he found that there was a black mark on his right chest, which was as black as ink, with a strange shape, not square, not round, and the black lines that extended out covered the entire chest, like a black spider web, which looked very weird.
In the following days, there were always some strange things that happened, which made him uncertain and very surprised, and when he fell asleep, it was no longer the same as usual, and the whole person was always in a half-dream.
He clearly felt that there seemed to be something more in his body, and he couldn't tell what it was. Later, I found that there seemed to be an extra soul in his body, pitch black, ugly and evil, extremely powerful, and came out to make trouble while he was asleep, constantly excluding him, as if to squeeze him out and take this body for himself.
Ren Pingsheng desperately resisted, but it was still to no avail, he could only feel that he was becoming lighter and lighter, as if his soul had been slowly eroded. The body is also getting weaker and weaker, weak all day long, depressed, not thinking about eating, as if it may die at any time.
Finally one day, the control of the body was out of his control, and when he woke up again, he found that he was in the barren mountains and mountains, the blood stains left at the corners of his mouth were still not dry, and there were a bunch of scattered hairs around him, and he couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, which made him scared into a cold sweat, but fortunately he was not human.
In the next few days, when he was at a loss and had nothing to do, the black shadow suddenly calmed down, the feeling of lightness disappeared, and the strength of his whole body was restored.
Just when he felt lucky, another amazing discovery made him unbelievable, his physical fitness and senses, there was a significant improvement, more like a qualitative leap, the whole body seemed to contain inexhaustible cathartic strength, accompanied by unprecedented comfort, let him have a kind of trance. The sharper his gaze became, the more he could see the insects flapping their wings from a hundred meters away. The subtle movements could be heard clearly, and what made him even more happy was that the faint pain in the back of his head was no longer there.
He thought it was a blessing, but he didn't know that the dark nightmare had just begun.
Ren Pingsheng inexplicably woke up several times in the wilderness, allowing him to figure out the pattern, fixed once every three days, and the scene when he woke up made him unacceptable, either biting raw meat, or soaking in water all night, swollen. The dark shadow hiding in his body is like a hungry beast, controlling his body in search of his prey.
What's even more terrifying is still to come, the dormant black shadow has completely recovered, it seems to have spiritual intelligence, it picks the opportunity when Ren Pingsheng's will is weak, and constantly attacks him frantically in his sleep, vowing to seize the dominance of his body, he is difficult to resist, and he is still struggling.
This time, he was really scared. Despite this, he still did not give up resistance, and in the process of struggle, his will became stronger and his fighting spirit became more and more high.
Along the way, he has experienced countless swords and swords and endless bloody winds, but he has not defeated him, he is fearless, and firmly believes that the real enemy is only himself.
Ren Pingsheng gradually got used to it, meaningless battles can't tell the result, he can't eliminate the black shadow, the same way, the black shadow can't help him, the two have reached a consensus very tacitly, found a balance, each took a step back, he no longer restricts the black shadow's eating, the black shadow forages late at night, eats and drinks enough, and also settles down a lot.
Later, he realized that every time the shadow ate, his physical strength and senses would increase dramatically, which made him ecstatic, at least not a bad thing.
The black mark on the chest still has a new change, it is like a living thing, growing every day. The black lines extending from the black imprint, densely packed, spread out to his limbs, intertwined into a strange pattern, a vague prototype, or let Ren Pingsheng notice a hint, this pattern is like an arrogant beast.
He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse, at least so far.
Mu Yanshan is not happy these days, Ah Hu's tragic death and the betrayal of her bodyguards, these encounters hit her quite hard, making her drowning in the abyss of pain, unable to extricate herself, often alone in the middle of the night crying, tossing and turning. When facing Ren Pingsheng, she still forced a smile as if she had no heart or lungs, but the sadness in her beautiful eyes could not be hidden.
Ren Pingsheng has not recovered from serious injuries, she does not dare to contact anyone, including her family, perhaps it is the betrayal of the people around her that has changed her personality, and she is also a lot more cautious.
