Volume 1 The Nightmare Chapter 13 The Mystery of Life
The crisp doorbell disturbed Wanli's sweet dream of taking a nap, Fang Fan and Yuehan went out on something, and Zhang Ze was called to the police station by Yang Yue to deal with the official business accumulated for many days. The doorbell rang again, Wanli walked to the door with a little irritability, and after opening the door, she was attracted by a mature and charming face, although the face was mature and gorgeous, but it was not pretentious at all, and even the cruel years were reluctant to leave annoying traces, such as the refreshing and bland wind in April.
"Wanli? Are you awake? ”
"Do we know each other?"
"We've met, to be exact."
Wanli looked at Zhuo Man warily.
"Is Zhang Ze here?"
"He's out, what's the matter with you?"
Zhuo Man wanted to speak and stopped. Even if Zhang Ze was not there, she wanted to go in and wait. But in what capacity should I say this request now? Fall in love with the owner of your own bodyguard? Or a beggar toyed by fate? Zhuo Man decided to leave after thinking about it, and Wanli looked at Zhuo Man in a daze in front of him.
"You're a good match for him."
Before Wanli could speak, Zhuo Man had already turned to leave. There was a sound of the door closing behind Zhuo Man, and the distance between her and Zhang Ze was not only a door, but also a tall mountain standing majestically. She began to wonder if it was right or wrong for her to return to Zhonghai City, knowing that everything was in vain, so why did she appear in this corridor again. Facing the familiar door, there is a new scenery on the other side of the door, but I can't blend in the slightest. left alone and came back alone, like a crying newborn, longing to be read by loneliness, but apart from Zhang Ze, who is she willing to reveal her weakness to?
Zhuo Man is just like an old philatelic album in front of Wanli, although it is precious to be abandoned, but it can only be placed in the attic, where there is no wind but no light, when I miss it, I look through it a little, and I am more and more lovesick. Until one day, she was also tired of being moved by her own feelings, and became sad but not sad, unfazed, and hard-hearted.
Wang Di returned to Wanyou Island with Aunt Mei's corpse, and Long Feng was drinking tea in the tea room.
"Father-in-law."
"Where's Aunt May?"
"Someone has been sent to soak Aunt Mei in the medicine jar."
"Hmm. You and Aunt Mei are like mother and daughter, this plan is really a good idea, you have to be more considerate. ”
"My daughter doesn't dare, my father-in-law has the grace of reinvention for us, and Aunt Mei and I will definitely help each other with our lives."
"That's a big deal. Do you know why I accepted you as a righteous daughter in the first place? ”
Wang Di chuckled in her heart, although she and Long Feng have been commensurate with each other as father and daughter for many years, Long Feng's cruelty to her training made her have a deep fear of Long Feng from the bottom of her heart.
"My daughter doesn't know."
"Back then, even if Zhuo Wanfei and Wang Tiancheng were intriguing for interests, they would not make any excessive moves. But after Zhuo Wanfei died, Ye Guozhong, who was a thief, immediately sent me to assassinate Wang Tiancheng. At that time, Team K still had to rely on the Zhuo Group, and I had no choice but to do what I was told, but there was a mistake in that mission. Wang Tiancheng received the news in advance that I was captured alive, but Wang Tiancheng was merciful and let me go. I will never forget his grace of not killing, and since then, Group K has completely separated from the Zhuo Group. When I learned what happened to Wang Tiancheng, someone from the police station searched for the whereabouts of the Wang family, but fortunately I found you, and the Wang family was able to stay. ”
"Thank you father-in-law for saving your life."
"I'm just returning Wang Tiancheng's favor. After Aunt May is healed, you can get out of here. Your father in the Heavenly Spirit also wants you to be an ordinary girl and live an ordinary life. If I plunge you into the bloody storm again, I will have a bad conscience when I go down there to see your father one day. ”
"Father-in-law, are you going to drive me away?"
"Yes, you don't belong here. Let's go and find your life. ”
The stubborn Long Feng waved his hand and motioned for Wang Di to leave here, and he sat alone at the tea table. He remembered that when he first entered Zhonghai City, he had no relatives, and he had no skills but nowhere to show them, until he met Zhuo Wanfei. Zhuo Wanfei has the grace of knowing himself, although many of the things he assigned to him are not visible, but how can he have so much scruples in front of food and clothing, so that he has lived a life of stepping into the coffin with one leg and entering the prison with one leg for many years.
Love never seemed to be close to him, at the age of 23, he met the girl he loved, but at that time he was just a mayfly, how dare he ask for stability. But God will always favor every person under his feet, and the girl fell in love with Long Feng at first sight, and was willing to go to this life with him no matter how much hardship she endured. Reality, with its innate cruelty, quietly approached the young couple. The constraints of life and the disproportionate return after hard work forced Long Feng to become a borrower. For the first time, he saw the fear of usurers, who are blood-sucking leeches who will not give up until you are a dry bone.
That night, Long Feng and his girlfriend were imagining the future at home, and suddenly a loan shark broke into the house, and after several failed negotiations, he fought and his girlfriend died unexpectedly in order to protect him. What an old-fashioned plot, but it is enough to make Long Feng shatter into a piece of residue. Long Feng was like an out-of-control rage, burning up an arrogant and domineering weed, for which he also spent his most precious ten years in prison. After being released from prison, Long Feng came to Zhonghai City, where he vowed to become a human being, and he understood that only by becoming stronger could he protect the people he loved deeply. But since then, he has sealed his love forever at the age of 23, and he does not dare to touch it until today.
But isn't he longing for a stable life, a virtuous wife, and naughty children? It wasn't until he adopted Wang Di that he could finally vaguely see the general outline of the life he longed for. Like all parents in the world, he also hopes that his children will be wrapped in happiness, but all he can give Wang Di is to become stronger and stronger, but is this really what he expects? Long Feng looked at the growing Wang Di, she seemed to be following her own old path, and he suddenly realized that this was not his original intention, Wang Di should have a brighter future, not like he had been living under the claws of darkness.
Zhuo Man came to the former Zhuo Group building. Zhuo's group exists in name only, but several seniors of the Sensible Council are still there, and Zhuo Man eliminated Ye Guozhong's henchmen at the beginning, and only gathered a few loyal ministers.
"Uncles, I want to revive the Zhuo Group, I don't know what you think?"
"If you want to revive the Zhuoshi Group, you must first restore its reputation, and the image of the outside world is the most important, so I think it is better to start with charity first."
"That's what Ye Guozhong did back then, I'm afraid no one will believe it anymore."
"It's better to support the construction of Zhonghai City, Xiaoman to come out and increase exposure. Let everyone know that the current Zhuoshi Group is no longer the Zhuoshi Group of the past. ”
The old ministers said word by word, and finally Zhuo Man raised his hand and lowered his voice.
"The opinions of all uncles, Xiao Man will keep in mind."
After the crowd dispersed, Zhuo Man's heart was very happy, this meeting was just to determine how many people were available.
A few days later, Zhuo's Group donated 2 libraries and 10 million sets of books to Zhonghai City, which spread far and wide, and overnight, the news of Zhuo's Group's rebirth was like a bright flower illuminating the sky over Zhonghai City.
Long Feng received the news as soon as possible, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. At the beginning, he planned to seize Zhuo's Group, but he didn't want Zhuo Wanfei's life's hard work to go to waste. And the assassination of Zhuo Man was just to test Zhang Ze's loyalty. But both of these things seemed to have failed now, and he stood on the top of the highest mountain on Wanyou Island and looked at Zhonghai City in the distance, turning his gaze to Fang Fan again.
September 3, 2019
Stability and tranquility returned to the original appearance of life, and everyone gradually forgot the thrilling of yesterday. In early autumn, Zhonghai City is cloudy and rainy, but this does not affect the people who have become accustomed to humidity to bask in the tranquility of the afternoon, and the sun hiding behind the clouds is trying to bloom with smiles.
The rise of Zhuo's Group has surprised everyone, Zhuo Man has become the most successful female entrepreneur in Zhonghai City, but she is still alone. Zhang Ze has entered a stable period of his career, and his daily work is handy, coupled with Wanli's company, he feels that he has reached the peak of his life. Yuehan spends her days in front of the computer learning communication and hacking skills, and she strives to help Fang Fan. Fang Fan's private detective agency took on some cases every now and then, he was now getting better and better at dealing with supernatural cases, and the beast in his body also provided him with a lot of help, but there were still a few cases where he almost got out of control. When Zhuo Man learned about it, he was introduced to Guo Jianyue's biotechnology company, which focuses on human research. Since the last time Fang Fan and Zhang Ze helped him find the child, he has become interested in the paranormal, so much so that a special department on the supernatural has been set up within the company.
At this time, Fang Fan was sitting opposite Guo Jianyue, talking about the fierce beast in Fang Fan's body.
"According to the preliminary analysis, you have absorbed those viruses well since the last infection, and I don't think this can be called a virus, but more like a key to awaken the huge power potential in your body."
"So you mean I'm fine?"
"That's understandable, but you have to learn to make peace with it. Because once out of control, destructive power is no joke. In addition, I would like to ask some privacy questions, I don't know if it is convenient for you? ”
"Just ask."
"Is there anyone in your family who is in the same situation as you?"
"My family?"
Fang Fan fell into deep thought, he had never heard his parents talk about his life experience. He only remembered that he had been sent to his aunt's house in Zhonghai City since he was a child. My aunt has a cheerful personality and is eager to help others, but she has no children and no daughters, and my uncle divorced my aunt because of this incident. Fang Fan's arrival was like a gift from heaven to her aunt. But in the young Fang Fan's heart, he felt like he had been passed on to his aunt. Since I was a child, I have had little contact with my parents, and I only met my parents at my wedding with Yuehan not long ago, but that side only showed the etiquette of hospitality, and there was no blood affection. So when Guo Jianyue asked this question, Fang Fan didn't know how to speak.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to answer. But it is very likely that your special constitution is due to genetics. ”
"I see."
Fang Fan said goodbye to Guo Jianyue and left for his aunt's house. Because she is my father's sister, my aunt must know something about the family.
In a residential area on Jianxing North Road, my aunt's house is in Building 10. When Fang Fan was in school, he went out early and returned late every day, although it was hard work, the carefree feeling made him very relaxed. He often lamented that he wanted to go back in time, but how could the hand of time easily turn around, unless the crab would take the initiative to peel off the hard shell of its body, and the male lion would no longer eat meat and would fall in love with the fat aquatic plants.
After Fang Fan entered the door, he found that his aunt was taking a nap, and he gently patted his aunt's shoulder.
"Auntie, auntie."
My aunt was shocked, but she immediately calmed down when she saw Fang Fan.
"Scared me, have you eaten?"
Aunt said while getting out of bed to keep him busy, Fang Fan looked at his aunt's back and felt that time seemed to really go back to the past, maybe there are really crabs in the world that peel off their shells and lions that feed on aquatic plants. His aunt prepared a meal for him, and he devoured it, as if to avoid delaying the afternoon review class.
"I haven't come for so long, is it tight on money?"
Fang Fan shook his head, suddenly felt a sour nose, and buried his face in the bowl again.
"What about Yuehan? Why didn't she come with you. ”
"Yuehan is reviewing at home, and she has to take an exam recently."
Fang Fan lied to his aunt, he didn't want Yuehan to know about the situation at home. Since he and Yuehan were together, Fang Fan had never mentioned the matter at home. So much so that Yuehan always thought that Fang Fan was an orphan, and later learned that he still had an aunt, and as for his parents, she had only met once at the wedding.
The aunt poured two glasses of water and pushed the cup soaked in Fang Fan's favorite plum to his hand.
"Eat slowly, it's so big, and it's so anxious."
After a gust of wind swept away, Fang Fan helped his aunt clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the two sat on the sofa.
"Auntie, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"About my parents."
My aunt's hand at peeling apples suddenly stopped, and she put down the fruit knife and turned into the back room to take out some letters.
"You take a look first, and if you still want to know after reading it, I'll tell you everything."
The aunt picked up the fruit knife and continued to sharpen it, and Fang Fan picked up the letters and looked at them one by one. He found that only one of them was written by his father, and the rest were remittance slips sent by his parents to his aunt, Fang Fan looked carefully at the letter written by his father.
Sister, Fang Fan will entrust it to you, don't tell him about the family when he grows up, I don't want him to suffer the same curse as me. From today onwards, he will be your son, and you can beat and scold. I should have listened to your persuasion and left here, but now it's too late to say anything. I just hope that Fang Fan can grow up peacefully, just like the name I gave him, I hope he lives an ordinary life. If you have a chance, you may still see him in this life, but if you don't, don't let him come back to us.
"Auntie, what happened in the family?"
"You're so old, there's something I should have known to you. The Fang family in Luoyun Town is a huge family, and from ancient times to the present, as long as it is a newborn baby boy, it will be given a thousand catastrophes. They will plant a seed in the baby's body and use their own flesh to help it grow, and when the person dies, it will be buried in the dust, and the seed will continue to be sucked until the flesh turns to dirt, and then a towering tree will grow from the soil overnight, which will bless the town of Falling Clouds. ”
"It doesn't sound like a big deal, people are going to die anyway."
"You're thinking too simply. Anyone who is seeded will have a transcendent constitution, and they will also be targeted by those ghosts, which are the breeding ground for evil spirits. The strong-willed will not be fooled, but the weak-willed will become the puppet of the ghostly monster, and finally become neither human nor ghostly. Your father just didn't want you to live that kind of fearful life, that's why he sent you to me. ”
"And how are my parents doing now?"
"They came at your wedding, but it was only in a hurry, and they were fine when I met them."
"Do I have a seed in my body too?"
"That's not true, but you have the blood of the Fang family in your body, and you will naturally inherit that extraordinary physique, but as long as there is no seed, it will not be activated, unless you have been poisoned."
Fang Fan was taken aback, and finally understood the reason for his abnormal body, but he didn't dare to show too much, for fear of being seen by his aunt. My aunt got up and put the letter away.
"Have you already experienced that power?"
Fang Fan looked at his aunt blankly, in his aunt's eyes, he would always be a child, and any slightest change would be noticed by his aunt.
"Hmm."
"You were brought up by me, you can't fool me."
The aunt took out another thing and handed it to Fang Fan. It was a pattern printed with thread-like scriptures, and Fang Fan looked at it for a long time, and he didn't know any of the words on it.
"Don't look at it, this is Sanskrit, leng the mantra, take off your shirt."
Fang Fan did so, and his aunt touched a layer of oil on his back, and then said something in his mouth. Fang Fan watched the scriptures on the pattern in his hand crawl from the paper down his arm to his back, until the last word also appeared on his back, Fang Fan suddenly felt his whole body being burned by fire, he knelt on the ground in pain, his aunt was still chanting a language that Fang Fan couldn't understand, and after a while, Fang Fan fainted.
When he woke up, he heard Yuehan and his aunt chatting in the living room. The back doesn't hurt so much anymore, but there is an invisible sense of oppression. He leaned against the wall and slowly paced to the living room, and Yuehan immediately stepped forward to support him when he saw it.
"Why are you here?"
"You don't say a word when you come to your aunt's house, it's my aunt who called me."
The aunt stepped forward to look at Fang Fan's back.
"It's done, even if you encounter anything again in the future, you won't be afraid."
"What did you get me?"
"This is what your father gave me back then, and this is what he left for you to save your life in case you can't control yourself after you know the truth or activate the power in your body."
"Survival?"
"This spell can exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, and the most important thing is that it can suppress the power in your body, so that you can use it freely."
Fang Fan looked at Yuehan again.
"You know everything?"
"My aunt told me everything."
"Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, you are not allowed to hide anything from me in the future."
My aunt stepped forward and said.
"Yuehan, you stay with him at home. I'll go out and buy some food, and you'll stay in the evening, and we'll have a good chat. ”
After that, my aunt went out. More than ten minutes later, my aunt came back, and there was a big table of dishes before and after, my aunt's house had not been so lively for a long time, and the three of them talked about the past all night, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
"Auntie."
Fang Fan stopped his aunt, who was about to go back to the bedroom to rest.
"What's wrong?"
"I thought about it for a long time and decided to go back to them."
Auntie sighed, took Fang Fan's hand, and gently stroked his face with her right hand.
"Time flies, you're so old in a blink of an eye. Seeing that you have a successful career and married a daughter-in-law, my aunt is really happy. You've grown up, and your aunt can't stop it if she wants to, so go ahead. But you must be careful in everything, don't be reckless, you still have Yuehan. ”
My aunt's eyes moistened a little.
"What's wrong with you. I'm just going back to my hometown, don't worry, I'm fine. ”
"When people get old, they think too much. Just be careful. ”
The aunt turned around and went into the bedroom, and Fang Fan and Yuehan also went back to the room to rest. Fang Fan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Looking forward to the dawn of the day, his heart was already on its way to Falling Cloud Town.
