By men's standards, the old Duroc is not really old, and a forty-five-year-old man is not really old, but rather from the age of thirty, he has really "grown" and "grown" and "grown", and has lived the most from being squeezed for fifteen years. After the golden age of juice, they have just reached the threshold of passing the strength.

Before they reach the age of sixty and are truly "old", they have a lot more. The juice can be squeezed for fifteen years. And most men's fifteen years in the second half of the year are the real fresh gold. For example, Old Duroc.

Compared to Old Duroc, the one in front of him at this time had not even touched the skin of gold. His nervous appearance, sickly, long unkempt hair and pale skin were nothing at all, but what was really uncomfortable was his eyes—the big dark circles under his eyes, which seemed to have been completely accustomed to life without closing his eyes since birth, had completely become part of that face, and the dark gaze that seemed to be tired, but in fact was like a python lurking in the water, made it possible for experienced people to detect strange dangers at a glance.

For this person with a special identity, his eyes alone can be called a dereliction of duty. However, the elder Duroc knew that part of the reason was that he didn't intend to hide it in front of him, and if he really wanted to hide his own "true self", it would be very difficult for outsiders to find him.

He had been hiding by his side for half a year in such a natural, innocent, and transparent way. Under your own nose.

“…… Long time no see, Carry. Old Duroc seemed to be a little absent-minded, pulled out a chair on the other side of the long haired young man, and sat down so simply, like a girl who had been forcibly pulled to join a sorority, and almost wrote the word "unenergetic" directly on his face, "I didn't expect you to come and see me." ”

"What do you want me to say, sir?" The man called Kari by Old Duroc tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and looked in the direction of Old Duroc, as if he was very concerned about the fact that he didn't even sit directly across from him, "Although it sounds a little strange, I still miss you." Whether you believe it or not, there are very few people around me who can sit with me and talk about the past, and there are basically very few people left. I've almost killed them. ”

"If only you killed the guy who got me here."

"Ah, you mean Mr. Karl." The long-haired Kari was suddenly interested, and his spirits lifted a little, "Of course I want to—but I can't." I can't kill him, he's the person above, the person next to the leader, I mean, of course I'm not afraid of him, as long as I have the chance, of course I will not hesitate to secretly take off his head and put it in my collection hut, but I haven't found that opportunity! You can't blame me, you can't blame me...... Can't blame me......"

As he spoke, a sad look appeared on his face, and he lowered his head with a snort, as if he was really seriously annoyed by something he had tried so hard to do but couldn't do.

Old Duroc tilted his head to look at him, his eyes half-closed, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Kari ......"

“？”

Raising his head, Kari tugged at the long hair in front of his forehead, and looked at Old Duroc with inquiring and listening eyes, which was incredibly well-behaved.

"You're disgusting to me, Karry." Old Duroc said.

"Oh, really?" Kari smiled, leaning over and resting his hands on the table, almost all of them lying on his side, "It's an honor, sir. ”

"I remember what you used to be...... The way you were a long, long time ago. You weren't like that before, what the hell is wrong with you? ”

"I'm fine, sir. I am fine. ”

"What I see isn't good at all."

"You didn't see it clearly, sir." "If you look at it, you'll see that I haven't changed at all—I haven't changed at all." ”

“……”

"Oh, sir, don't do that." Looking at Old Duoc's expression at this time, Kari suddenly turned his face away and waved his hand as if he couldn't stand it anymore, "I recognize this expression of yours - you don't think I may have become the way I am because of what I have experienced and what stimulation I have experienced, right?" ”

"If you really want me to say it," Old Duroc looked at Carry, "I can remember that all your transformations began after Layla's death. ”

"Lyra......

The name seemed to touch something deep inside Carrie, causing him to restrain his sickly smile and close his eyes slightly.

"Don't think I don't know anything, Karry." Old Duroc lowered his voice, his eyes did not blink, although he was still handcuffed in his hands, although he was still in the enemy's territory, but he seemed to have forgotten all this, as if he had returned to the police station, and was sitting in the interrogation room at this time, turning on the interrogation mode that belonged to him, "I know your affairs, I know her place in your heart...... I know how much that incident of hers has affected you. ”

Karry smiled again and looked up at Old Duroc. "What about it?"

"Do you want to say you don't care?" Putting his handcuffed hands on the table, Old Duroc exhaled and looked young Carey in the eye, "Just because I'm not married doesn't mean I don't know anything about it, on the contrary, boy, it makes me more experienced - you love her, Carry, you love Layla." Even though you hide it well, even though you are a shy little boy who is not good at expressing emotions, I can see it. So I understand that feeling, at least I can imagine a little, watching her throw herself into the arms of another man, watching her choose another boy who is younger and more immature and hasn't even stepped out of the school gate yet, choosing another man who is similar to you in every way, but who is not you, makes you suddenly understand that you actually have an opportunity, but you miss it because of your hesitation and hesitation. I knew it must have been a very painful feeling. ”

"That's true." Kari nodded, smiling calmly.

"That incident, and what happened afterward, add up to enough power to break a man." Old Duroc shook his head slightly, as if he was irritated and sighed by the reawakened memory, "No one could have imagined that things would turn out like that. The kid, the college student, would suddenly and inexplicably commit suicide, and then not long after his death, Layla would also die inexplicably. That's not normal, everyone can see it, it's not normal at all. The final investigation revealed that it was the kid who killed Leila. According to Leila's autopsy report, the medical examiner deduced that during the time they lived together, he had been giving Leila a chronic poison, a chronic poison that would be fine if she took the antidote regularly, but would kill her in a short period of time if she stopped. The kid was the only one who could do that, combined with his suicide and a more in-depth investigation...... It can be preliminarily determined that he is a very perfect psychopath hidden on the surface. He killed himself for some unknown reason that was incomprehensible to ordinary people, and then took Leila with him. ”

“……”

"I know it's too much for you to accept." Old Duroc frowned and sighed silently, "You had already quit, thinking that this was for the good of Leila and for the sake of being able to make her happy, but in the end you became like that. It's not that I can't understand your transformation now, and I think I would have been more ...... if it had been me."

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Twitching, twitching and twitching—Carrey bowed his head deeply, shrouding his entire face in the shadow of his long hair, and the laughter that seemed to be irrepressible could no longer be suppressed stopped and sounded rhythmically, like a malicious audience that encompassed the entire theater, and after the performance was dryly puffed up, the old Duroc was forcefully interrupted.

"I was almost nauseous and vomited...... For all these years, you—you, have really always thought this was the truth? Slowly raising his head, the face of a young man with slightly reddened eyes and a strange smile appeared in front of Old Duoc, "So that's what I'm talking about, sir...... You can't see anything clearly. ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Meaning, poor boy, he didn't kill Leila at all—the only thing he did was end his own life." With his upper body moving forward slightly, Carey approached Old Duroc and opened his mouth softly as if whispering, "It was I who killed Lyra, sir—it was me, Lyra." ”

“……”

"Surprised?"

Carey sat back in his seat, leaned back, and looked at the shock in Old Duroke's wide, bearded, eyes with constricted pupils, which could not be contained, and did not want to contain at all, grinning at the corners of his lips, at first silently, then grinning, and finally utterly shrill laughter.

"Hahahahaha......"
