Everyone's pursuit is different.

Perhaps this is the greatest characteristic of human beings.

If Chen Xian is not Chen Xian, but another stranger.

Maybe he didn't care as much about whether he was a human or an anomalous life like Chen Xian.

Chen Xian wants to be a human being more than anyone else, this is an inferiority complex engraved in his bones, because he has had an inexplicable sense of alienation from this world since he can remember, just like Mu He, who just left the Wushan Mental Hospital and came to Chen Xian's side, this world is unknown to him...... A place full of aliens.

That's right, Chen Xian vaguely felt that he was "unusual" when he was very young, although he was still young at that time and didn't know what his abilities were, but his subconscious reminded him from beginning to end that he was not one of the humanoid creatures that could be seen everywhere around him, even if his appearance was similar to them, it was only like skin and not bones.

Living in a world full of aliens, that kind of psychological torture is not something that ordinary people can imagine, it's like a living human being thrown to another planet, and the whole world is a group of aliens who look very similar to themselves....... Panic is only the initial manifestation, and after that there is instinctive vigilance, which must be carefully lived.

This vigilance lasted for several years, until Chen Xian entered the school and began to study and live, constantly coming into contact with people and constantly learning about the world through various channels, and he unexpectedly found that the world had an indescribable attraction to him, as if he should have been born in this place.

The sunshine of early spring, the flowers of midsummer, the sky of autumn, the snow of winter...... Even the clouds that were slowly blown away by the evening breeze, this kind of picture that ordinary people have long been accustomed to, but in Chen Xian's eyes, it is like a beautiful scenery, as if he will never get bored of watching it like this for the rest of his life.

If you really want to elaborate, maybe Chen Xian loves this world more than most people, and has a soul-like love for this colorful and unknown world, and it is also because of this that I don't know when his vigilant psychology slowly turned into unbearable inferiority.

He also wants to be like an ordinary child, to be able to enjoy all the beauty of the world without scruples, he also wants to make some friends, he can talk to someone when he wants to talk, and he is not alone when he wants to go out to play, although he is a person who can tolerate loneliness, but it does not mean that he really likes this loneliness.

Maybe it's because of his low emotional intelligence, or maybe it's the sequelae left by long-term vigilance, his indifferent and calm state of mind is not easy to be recognized, he is silent, he doesn't like to socialize with people, and he is often regarded as a cold outlier in school, and it is slightly better after college, but it is the same...... He couldn't find a sense of identity, he couldn't find a sense of belonging.

It wasn't until he entered the Secret Bureau that he came to the Ningchuan Branch, where he thought he had found many of his kind.

But in the end......

I'm still different from them.

"What a monster is not a monster!" The old liar slapped Chen Xian on the shoulder, and the old man glared at him with a red face, "Don't talk nonsense to me, you kid!" ”

"Regardless of life form, all life in the world is divided into only two categories." Chen Xian raised his head, looking at the black and oppressive sky above his head, letting the rain fall on his face, his eyes were full of relief, "One is a normal life, the other is an abnormal life, and the other is the former, you ...... Probably the latter, right? ”

Chen Xian had always thought that the old liar was a stranger, at least before the Jiuling Mountain incident, he had never seen the slightest flaw in the old liar, and he didn't think about the direction of abnormal life at all, and it was only now that he happened to know the inhuman identity of the old liar.

Although it is impossible to determine which kind of anomalous life the old liar is, it can already be seen from the ghostly aura in him...... The body of the old liar is supposed to be just a high-level manifestation of the gathering of energy, but in fact he has no physical body, which is very similar to the spirit body in the traditional sense.

"Grandpa Ge."

"Huh?"

Hearing this long-lost title, the old liar was a little stunned, but before he could ask more, he only heard Chen Xian ask him first.

"As I said before, there are only two categories of life in the world, and there are no exceptions, so what am I?" Chen Xian had a smile on his face from beginning to end, but this smile was indescribably uncomfortable in the eyes of the old liar, "I definitely can't be regarded as a normal life, but an abnormal life...... Their aura can't be covered, you've fought with me before, and you should know me quite well like this, do you think I'm an anomaly? ”

The old liar didn't answer, but suddenly remembered what Lao Zhou said to him many years ago.

He is the third type of life that appears in this world.

"This ...... Is this important to you? The old liar asked with a frown.

"It doesn't really matter, because I didn't see myself as a human being from the beginning." Chen Xian smiled and shrugged his shoulders, with an expression on his face that he had expected you to answer like this.

Hearing this, the old liar sighed and couldn't help but persuade: "Don't think about it, you can live your life how you want to live, if you feel uncomfortable staying in the secret bureau, you will come to the Yin City, and grandpa will cover you." ”

"I ...... I want to go home. ”

Chen Xian wiped the rain from his face, and his smile was a little tired.

"I've been living in the substation these days, I haven't been back to see it for a long time, and I don't know if the house is dirty, maybe I have to clean it again, Grandpa Ge, what happened before ......"

"I don't blame you." The old liar frowned and said, "Don't take it to heart, you kid, that unconscious state is similar to sleepwalking, and it has a fart relationship with you." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xian was silent for two seconds before replying.

"Actually, I'm conscious."

"Are you conscious??"

This answer was unexpected by the old liar, because he couldn't believe Chen Xian in the previous state..... There is even self-awareness!!

"I never thought I would be so dangerous...... Chen Xian's eyes faintly flashed a trace of unbearable pain, recalling the phenomenon that frightened him before, he was still afraid in his heart, "Actually, I know better than you what is in my body...... It controls my body...... It can do anything...... But I can only watch it happen......."

Attack Mu He.

Attack old crooks.

All of this was something that Chen Xian couldn't do, but he did it, and he did it in front of his eyes...... No matter how much he struggled, it was useless, and he couldn't even stop what his body was going to do, and that kind of psychological torture made Chen Xian dare not recall, and he only felt that all this was a living nightmare.

He had never hated himself so much.

Especially when I saw the bite marks on Mu He's neck, and saw the hole in the chest of the old liar that had not yet recovered.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Chen Xian hung his head and kept repeating, suddenly realizing that he was so useless, and for a while he couldn't think of any remedy except to apologize.

"Chen Xian, don't apologize......" Mu He put his arms around Chen Xian's neck, and the whole person sat on Chen Xian's arm, his pink little face was close to Chen Xian's shoulder, as if he didn't dare to look at Chen Xian's painful eyes, "I will be uncomfortable if you apologize..... I'm going to be very unhappy...... Chen Xian......"

"You apologize!" The old liar was also a little angry, but this angry performance was just to hide the worry hidden in his heart, "If you apologize again, I'll beat you, do you believe it?!" ”

Chen Xian smiled bitterly and nodded and said the letter, then was silent for a second, and suddenly turned around and said to Mr. Skeleton.

"My knife and mask are still on the side of the villa, they should be buried in the rubble, you can feel their qi, and it is easier to find them...... Can you get it for me? ”

Mister Skeleton nodded without hesitation, then jumped out of the sinkhole and sped towards the ruins of the villa.

"It's not a problem to stand in the pit all the time, Grandpa Ge, let's go out."

Hearing this, the old liar took a deep look at Chen Xian, and saw that the expression on his face was also normal, so he nodded and said yes.

After leaving the sinkhole with Mu He and the old liar, Chen Xian stood on the edge of the pit and looked left and right, and soon found Lu Yisheng and them, he hesitated slightly, and finally decided to take Mu He over first, after all, the main person in charge of this case is him, and some things must be explained to Lu Yisheng.

When Chen Xian trotted to Lu Xiansheng and them with Mu He in his arms, the wooden man who was hiding aside and secretly observing Chen Xian suddenly turned on a red light, completely looking extremely vigilant, and Lu Yisheng and Xu Yanan also took a step back almost instinctively, as if they were still immersed in the previous horror and could not recover.

"Old ..... Top dog...... Is there anything wrong......." Lu Yisheng was still trembling when he spoke, feeling that there was a dead knot in his head that he couldn't turn around, and when he saw that familiar face, he could only think of those terrifying pictures before, "You ..... now." How are you now? ”

Seeing this scene, Chen Xian was suddenly stunned for a moment, and as if he realized something, he silently took two steps back.

At this time, Chen Xian felt that Lu Yisheng and them were a little more relaxed.

"This case can be closed, I was wrong in my initial judgment, it is not an anomalous instrument, such as this kind of self-consciousness and self-creation of supernatural phenomena, it should be an anomalous medium."

Chen Xian methodically recounted the important information about this strange case, Mu He seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and couldn't help but look up at Chen Xian, and then at Lu Yisheng.

"After it is destroyed, those anomalous phenomena created by it should also disappear, and you and Mu He will not be in danger, as for the detailed report of this case...... I will hand it over to Director Huo in a few days. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xian hugged Mu He and turned around and walked towards the old liar, but he couldn't help but turn back when he took a step.

"I scared you before, I ...... I didn't mean to, I'm sorry. ”

Chen Xian wanted to say something more, but Mr. Skeleton came back with a meat sawing knife and a mask of the afflicted.

"I'll go back first, you guys go down the mountain to pay attention to safety, I'm really sorry for what happened before."

Chen Xian nodded apologetically to Lu Yisheng and Xu Yanan, then turned around and hugged Mu He and took Mr. Skeleton with him, and hurriedly walked towards the old liar who was standing at the edge of the woods waiting for them.

With the constant screaming of the wind in the mountains, Chen Xian's figures gradually faded away in the rain.

Lu Yisheng and Xu Yanan were silent from beginning to end, looking at the direction of Chen Xian without saying a word, and after Chen Xian's figure disappeared completely, they came back to their senses and looked at each other for a while, they all wanted to say something to each other, but suddenly they didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Lu Yisheng who opened his mouth.

He sighed with a complicated expression and kicked away the wooden man hiding beside him.

"Let's go down the mountain first......"
