Chapter 213: Red Handprint
After the storm, the view of the sea is comparable to that of a painter's carefully depicted soul, and the painting is full of tenderness that can stir the whole world, and it is fascinating. But the storm will eventually return, and the sea will become the most dangerous romance in the world in an instant, and will anyone love it as usual?
Half a year later...
Zhonghai City was resurrected after a bone-long ordeal like Nirvana, and after all the unremitting efforts, it became a city that was several times better than the original, and many people gradually forgot the nightmare, but did not forget the pain that the nightmare brought to them. A monument has been erected in the center of the tower's lair, inscribed with the names of the citizens who died in the Zombie Virus, who will be resurrected with the city, resurrected in different forms, and watched the remarkable city in a daily rolling wheel of time.
How peaceful the world is, how evil throbs, and they are always tirelessly ready to move in the dark. Lei Zhen and Tang Mang have been in the base of the Deep Sea Security Bureau, they are deeply rooted in the Security Bureau like parasites, and Jinqiu and Su Nan's repeated persuasion has been to no avail, and the reason why they are like this is only for one thing, that is, to let Jinqiu go back and take over the Sanyun Gang.
"As I said, I won't take over the Sanyun Gang."
"The strength of the Sanyun Gang is unimaginable, although it is a little embarrassed in this impact, but as long as it regroupes, the Sanyun Gang will definitely stand up again."
Jinqiu sneered and said.
"Is it dangerous to stand up again? You've done enough bad things, and I advise you to stop there, and you should be glad to have a cobbler to thunder you this time. Otherwise, I will send you to prison with my own hands. ”
Lei Zhen said again in an almost pleading tone.
"You are thinking about it, as long as you agree to take over the Sanyun Gang, I guarantee that the Sanyun Gang will behave in the future, and there will be no more adulterous crimes."
Hearing this, Jinqiu chuckled in his heart and said.
"You promise? Oh, I see, you're trying to get me to be the puppet in front of you, and then you're behind me, right? ”
"No, no, no, you're mistaken. After this incident, I was impressed by the heroism of you and all of you, so Tang Mang and I were willing to live under you and do things. ”
Jinqiu looked at Tang Mang's disdainful eyes, and then looked at Lei Zhen's flattering eyes, the attitudes of the two were simply worlds apart. Jinqiu pondered for a moment and said.
"In that case, then we don't have to worry about the Sanyun Gang. You see if this is good, you just join the Security Bureau, and I will hire you as a special crime adviser in my capacity as the director, and I will be here on time to and from work in the future. How good it is to live a peaceful life and have a pension after death. ”
Lei Zhen's eyes suddenly changed from flattery to cold and sharp, but years of experience in the rivers and lakes allowed him to hide the resentment in his heart just right. Tang Mang behind him was a little breathless, and his teeth creaked as he bit it. Lei Zhen took a deep breath and said.
"We'll take your opinion seriously, farewell."
After that, Lei Zhen and Tang Mang left Jinqiu's office, and Jinqiu looked at the back of them leaving, and his heart was full of joy. A smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and Su Nan on the side looked at him and asked.
"As for being so happy?"
Jinqiu said with a smile.
"Don't you think it's funny to look at the way they just looked? It's like two wild dogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy but being beaten by sticks. ”
Su Nan pursed his lips and said.
"You're going to deal with them like this?"
"After hearing what they just said, I think it's safer to keep them here than to let them out. After the death of the cobbler, the Heavenly Punishment Sect will not move, and if Lei Zhen and the Heavenly Punishment Sect are allowed to have a relationship, I am afraid that they will become the second cobbler. ”
Su Nan handed over a stack of materials to Jinqiu and said.
"You want the materials of the Heavenly Punishment Sect."
Jinqiu picked up the information and looked at it, and Su Nan said on the side.
"The name of the Heavenly Punishment Cult in Europe is the Secret Crossing Society, and in the early days it was a church that specialized in sacrificing living people to the gods in order to achieve the purpose of exorcism. In the 18th century, the cult doctrine was particularly prevalent in Europe, and it was at that time that they came into the public eye, and after several large-scale exterminations, they were once worshipped as a god. Over the years, they have evolved to revere the ancient human sacrifices, but in the eyes of modern people they are just a group of cruel executioners. ”
Jinqiu looked at the lines of dense small words and said.
"It would be nice if there were pictures or videos."
Su Nan threw him a USB flash drive and said.
"There's a movie in there that you can watch. It is said to be based on the real situation of the Secret Crossing. ”
"Movies? Is it reliable? ”
Su Nan returned to his seat, picked up the vegetable salad and took a bite, and said.
"This is the only way to learn about the Secret Crossing, unless you are willing to read the wild history documents as thick as Cihai."
"Forget it, I'll watch the movie anyway. That's what you're going to eat for lunch, huh? ”
"Well, I don't have much appetite after reading it."
Jinqiu's face suddenly became a little ugly and asked.
"Is it heavy?"
Su Nan nodded and said.
"It's okay, it's just a little uncomfortable."
Jinqiu nodded, glanced at the time, and said.
"I have to rush to pick up Xie Xin and Qing'er, the affairs of the bureau will be handed over to you, you have full authority to deal with anything, and you will send someone to keep an eye on Lei Zhen and Tang Mang."
With that, Jinqiu ran towards the submarine like a gust of wind. Su Nan looked at his back as he ran away, and her only regret was that she didn't have time to scold him. Jinqiu returned to Zhonghai City, and there was still a while before Xie Xin got off work, and he came to the Spring Flavor Bar, which was reborn with the ruins.
"Welcome."
A roar frightened Jinqiu almost jumped up, and the security guard at the door bowed ninety degrees, and his voice was extremely loud. Jinqiu looked at him and said.
"Hu Lai, if you come like this again, be careful that I go to tell Fang Fan about your situation. If you have a heart attack, you will definitely call it away. ”
Hu Lai was wearing a crisp security uniform and said with a smile.
"It turned out to be Brother Jinqiu. I'm not working hard. ”
Jinqiu smiled and said.
"What about Fang Fan?"
"It's all chatting in there."
Jinqiu patted Hu Lai on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Hu Lai immediately grinned. Suddenly a few drops of water splashed on his face, Hu Lai wiped the water off his face in surprise, and looked for where the water came from, and after a while he saw a thin figure hiding in the corner of the wall, smiled and pretended to be angry.
"Stone, if you are naughty again, I will spank you."
The stone walked out with a grinning water gun and said.
"If you dare to hit me, I'll tell Uncle Fang Fan and let him fix you."
"Hey, you little brat. Don't use Fang Fan to press me, he has given me full responsibility for taking care of you, as long as you are naughty, I have the right to discipline you. ”
Stone suddenly grimaced at him and ran into the bar, when Hu Lai suddenly saw a red handprint on his backpack, so he hurried in and shouted.
"Stone, you come out for me."
Hu Lai's loud voice once again startled the people in the bar, Fang Fan and they all looked at Hu Lai, Fang Fan looked at Hu Lai with a worried look and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"It's not me, it's the stone, there's something strange on his backpack."
Fang Fan looked at the stone and said.
"Stone, come here."
Shi walked over obediently, Hu Lai took his schoolbag, pointed to the red handprint on it, and asked.
"Where did you get this?"
The stone looked at the red handprint inexplicably and said.
"I don't know, I haven't been before."
Hu Lai threw his backpack aside, walked over and asked sharply again.
"Tell me, where the hell did you get this?"
Hu Lai's appearance frightened the stone, and he said with a crying voice.
"I really don't know."
Fang Fan immediately stopped him.
"Hulai, you scared him."
With that, keep the stone behind you. At this time, Hu Lai's expression became more and more distorted, Fang Fan took him out of the bar and asked.
"What's going on?"
Hu Lai pondered for a moment and said.
"Brother, I know you have heard a lot and seen a lot. Do you know the grotesque nature of that red handprint? ”
Fang Fan shook his head and said.
"I don't know, you tell me."
Hu Lai, pondered for a moment, and said.
"I also heard it when I was inside, and at the time I thought it was just a story made up by someone else, but that night I witnessed the horror of the red handprints.
The fourth child is a migrant worker with no culture and no background, he came to Zhonghai City alone, his personality is honest and honest, he is upright, what to say, and this person does not rub sand in his eyes, as long as it is something he is not used to, he will definitely take care of it. But the reason why he was arrested was because of his straightforward and overly straightforward character, and he himself said that he was framed by the boss as a top bag, so he went in. ”
Fang Fan coughed softly and said.
"Getting to the point."
"The fourth and I are in the same room. It was dog days, and we would organize a shower every night, but that night my fourth child and I were scheduled in the last order, and it was close to the early hours of the morning when it was our turn to go to the bathroom. I was ready to leave, but the fourth child washed endlessly, and he usually took a shower for no more than five minutes, but that day he washed for half an hour. While washing and muttering loudly about why they were so dirty, the prison guards forcibly drove us back. On the way back, I asked him what he was talking about just now, and he actually smiled at me charmingly, saying that he didn't say anything.
The next day, we were still in the last group to take a shower. Because of the events of the previous day, I was a little afraid to go to the shower with him. When he asked me to go with me, I lied that I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't go. Who knew that after a while, the prison guard actually ordered me to go with him, and I wondered why the prison guard would listen to him. I trepided into the bathroom with him and stood two showers away from him, but I could clearly hear him muttering to himself, 'Why is it so dirty?' I ran out of the bathroom quickly, wanting to go back first. But the guards didn't agree and told me to go back with him. ”
When he said this, Hu Lai lit a cigarette, and it could be seen that he still had lingering feelings about this matter, and after taking a deep breath, Hu Lai continued.
"When I went back with him that night, the fourth child didn't say a word. But I always felt that there was something strange at the time, it wasn't that he was silent. Because he usually doesn't talk much, suddenly my towel fell off, and when I bent down to pick it up, I was so frightened by the scene in front of me that I sat on the ground. ”
Hu Lai suddenly stopped talking, and then took a deep puff of cigarette. Fang Fan couldn't wait to ask.
"What do you see?"
Hu Lai took a few puffs and threw the cigarette butt aside, and continued.
"I immediately understood what the strange place was. He was actually a cut taller than me, I was about the same height as the fourth, but he was half a head taller than me that night. That is, when I was picking up the towel, I saw that he was actually walking on tiptoe. That's it, that's like wearing a pair of high heels. ”
"And then?"
"Later, when we went back to the room, he seemed to have something to say to me, but I lied that I wasn't feeling well and went straight to sleep. But how could I sleep, I just lay in bed like that all night, and now I am afraid to think about it. ”
"Afraid? What do you think will happen to him? ”
"Doesn't the old man often say that he walks with his feet like that, and he behaves like a natural person who is possessed by dirty things. And when he took a shower, he also said that he was dirty, so I thought he must have been possessed by those messy things. ”
"Then why didn't you report the situation to the prison guards at the time?"
"I did, but the guards said I was hallucinating, and that I was preaching superstition and that they wanted to lock me up. To be honest, those days of confinement were the most secure times for me. ”
"And then? What does this have to do with the red handprint? ”
"Don't worry, it's coming soon. A week later, I was released from confinement, and when I returned to the room, I found that the fourth child had lost weight and was confused. The scariest thing was that one night I saw myself putting on makeup in front of the mirror. ”
"Makeup? You're not kidding, are you? How do you make up in prison? ”
"To tell you the truth, that's what I thought at the time. But when I had the courage to look at it, I fully understood, it turned out that the fourth child took off the whitewashed white on the wall little by little, and then mixed it with water and applied it to his face, then bit his index finger and smeared the bright red blood on his lips, and finally wiped two red faces on his face with his bleeding index finger. At that time, he looked like a paper figure in a shroud shop, and I can't forget what he said at that time, 'Fat guy, do you think I'm beautiful?' I almost fell out of bed when I heard that. ”
"Wait, you mean, the fourth child put on his own makeup in the middle of the night, and then asked the fat guy in the mirror if he was beautiful, right?"
Hu Lai nodded vigorously. Fang Fan then asked.
"And who is this fat guy?"
"He was the underground boss of the previous prison, he was ruthless, he had money outside, and there were people on top. So even in prison is like a vacation. ”
"And what about him now?"
"Dead. After the fat man's death, the prison closed the news, and those who were close to him before were transferred to other prisons and their sentences were reduced by one year. ”
Fang Fan touched the stubble on his chin and said.
"You are going to talk about what happened to the fourth child."
"After dinner that day, the prison guards organized us to study. Everyone was there, except for the fourth, who wasn't there, and he wasn't there just for dinner. ”
"Didn't you do everything?"
"How dare I. I've kept my distance from him since those strange acts of beating him, and although he's always tried his best to stay with me for anything, I've also tried my best to dodge, preferring to find someone to fight and be locked up rather than face him again. ”
Fang Fan nodded, and Hu Lai continued.
"Then the guards told me to go to him. I tried my best to look for him, but there was no one in the room, no one in the activity room, and finally I heard a knock on the door in the bathroom. I walked over and saw him banging his head on the door, still muttering the phrase, 'Why is it so dirty?' I immediately ran to report to the guards, who, as if they hadn't heard, ordered me to sit down and study. I had to sit down and study, but I didn't listen to a word of the guards, and the sound of thumping kept ringing in my ears.
After the study, everyone went back to their cells. I didn't dare to go back, so I went to the prison guard and asked for a change of cell, but he beat me without saying a word, followed by another week of confinement. It was a safe week, and the day I walked out of the confinement cell, I remember a prison guard coming up to me and saying, 'Whatever you wish today, I can grant you.'" I thought it was strange, but I didn't say anything and went straight back to my cell. In the evening, the two prison guards sent me and the fourth child into the bathroom, and it was then that I saw the red handprint on his back. As usual, I simply washed up and waited outside for him to come out, and he didn't say any more strange things at the time, and then he called me in. At first, I didn't dare, but then I thought that I hadn't heard him say anything strange today, and maybe the fourth child was already well, so I went into the bathroom. Suddenly, the fourth man rushed towards me in a frenzy, and a sharp scream came out of his throat. I can responsibly say that the voice was definitely a woman's voice, and then a light came out of my chest, and the fourth child was shocked and flew out and fainted.
So I walked over to him with courage, and at this moment two hands stretched out from the red handprints behind his back, tearing his entire back, and then those two hands pulled the fourth child's head back, when I heard the crisp cracking sound of the neck bone, and then the fourth child's entire head was pulled into the crack behind him, and then the red hands also disappeared out of thin air.
At that time, I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, but the prison guards rushed in en masse at the moment of the fourth child's death, and they were disappointed when they saw me safe and sound. At this time, the warden walked in to see the general situation, whispered a few words to the prison guards next to me, and then I was put in a confinement cell. About a few days later, I was taken out and the prison guards informed me that I had been convicted of murder and that I would be executed three days later. But I was completely blinded, and later I realized that they blamed me for the death of the fourth child, fortunately, I had been preparing to escape from prison before, and when the prison guards asked me what I wanted that night, I said that I wanted to have a good drink, so the prison guards arranged the best banquet, and I drank with them, and finally they all got drunk. The warden was the only one who didn't drink, he kept an eye on me, and finally he took me back to my cell and left without saying a word. So I ran out of the prison overnight along the escape route I had prepared earlier. ”
"You lied to me at the time and said that you took advantage of the chaos to escape from prison, so that's the case."
Hu Lai let out a long sigh. Fang Fan patted him on the shoulder, and then he saw that Hu Lai seemed to be wearing something around his neck, and asked.
"What do you wear around your neck?"
Hu Lai took out a piece of jade from his clothes and said.
"This is the talisman my mom left me."
"It was the one who saved you, right?"
Hu Lai rubbed the jade and said.
"Definitely."
Fang Fan pondered for a moment and asked.
"So do you think the red handprints on the stone backpack are also the same thing as the red handprints at that time?"
Hu Lai nodded, then shook his head again and said.
"I don't know, but I hope not. The stone was still so small, how could he provoke these things. ”
Fang Fan turned back to the bar, called the stone to his side, and asked.
"Stone, do you still feel any discomfort?"
Stone shook his head and said.
"No, I don't. What's wrong? ”
Fang Fan touched his head with a smile and called Zhang Ze. Zhang Zezheng and Jinqiu were chatting energetically, and when they heard Fang Fan call him a little reluctant, he came over and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"From now on, I want you not to leave the stone for a second."
Zhang Zehu looked at Fang Fan suspiciously and asked.
"What's going on?"
Fang Fan explained the original story of the matter, and Zhang Ze said after hearing it.
"I see, don't worry."
Fang Fan then found Han Shuo again and asked him to check if the prison where Hu Lai was located had been damaged in this Resentful Corpse Virus disaster. After a moment, Han Shuo said.
"The prison is still there, on the outskirts of Zhonghai City, which is a few hours away from the city center."
"I see."
After that, Fang Fan settled Zhang Ze again, and then said to Hu.
"There is revenge, there is revenge. That thing is still in that prison, so I want you to go back with me, and if we want to keep Stone from being killed, we need to figure out what the hell is going on. ”
Hu Lai nodded, then shook his head again and said.
"Can I not go?"
"Are you scared?"
Hu said.
"It's not that I'm afraid, the main thing is that if I go back like this, I will definitely be re-imprisoned as an escapee."
Fang Fan looked at his appearance and said.
"It's true, why don't you disguise yourself."
Fang Fan took Hu Lai to find Wanli, Wanli looked at Hu Lai with a smile and said.
"He's so good looking like this."
"What do you mean?"
"The way he looks is definitely a challenge to my disguise skills, and I'm excited."
About half an hour later, Wanli walked out with Hu Lai, who was originally five big and three thick, but after some disguise, he turned into a cream boy. Fang Fan's jaw dropped suddenly.
"Wanli, your skills are too powerful."
"Hahaha, it's okay."
Fang Fan patted Hu Lai on the shoulder and said.
"Now that you don't have any worries, you can go, right?"
Hu Lai nodded lightly and said.
"That's it."
The car made a bumpy ride to the Guangjiao Prison, which was surrounded by a fence several feet high and a circle of voltage barbed wire. Fang Fan looked at his surroundings and said faintly.
"It's not easy here."
