Shen Cheng looked at Gu Chenxi on his body and couldn't believe his eyes.

“... You've inhaled psyche........ Why are you still ..... here?"

Facing his doubts, Gu Chenxi took off his mask and looked directly into Shen Cheng's eyes, he slowly lowered his head and said word by word: "I.... It's fear. ”

Gu Chenxi continued: "I only have 16 chess pieces in a game of chess, and when I come to the last step and there are only kings left on both sides, it is one step away. The other party is one step ahead of him, how to reverse the situation? ”

"Unless...," a wicked smile appeared on his face, looking even more sinister than the evil god, "... I cheat...."

【17TH PIECE, THE CHEATER】

The corners of Shen Cheng's eyes twitched, he rolled his eyes back and forth, thinking left and right, but he still couldn't think of any step he had made a mistake.

"You drugged me? How is this possible? I'm clear...."

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Do you remember?" Gu Chenxi asked with a smile.

On the day when Gu Chenxi came to the interview, Shen Cheng was nervous for a while after realizing his identity. After sending Gu Chenxi away, he sat on the boss's chair, picked up the glass bottle on the table and took a sip of water.

It was the only outside food he had ever been exposed to in the past few days.

"You really like butterflies, don't you? I can't even find a second person. Gu Chenxi raised his eyebrows, his face full of mocking expressions.

Before Shen Cheng and the staff came that day, when Gu Chenxi was walking around the house, he noticed a glass bottle on the table that was half filled with water, and the bottle wall was engraved with a butterfly pattern.

At that time, he guessed the owner of the bottle and threw the prepared nanomedicine into it.

[Looks like the drugs of the Bastion Project aren't that wasteful, aren't they?] ]

Previously, when tinkering with those equipment in the cave, Erzeng had told Gu Chenxi that in order for the nanobots to work properly, they also needed the protected person to have a signal transmitter and an intermediary that could enhance the signal.

The transmitter was the bracelet he gave to Zhang Jiajia, and when the two were frolicking on the rooftop, Jiajia took off the bracelet and put it aside in order to let her hand better fit into the fist gloves. It was at that time that Gu Chenxi adjusted them.

And the intermediary to enhance the signal is the remote-controlled car that Gu and Gu Chenxi placed at the bottom of Shencheng's car earlier. After returning to the mansion with its owner, it broke away from under the car and was now parked in the grass in the yard, enhancing the microwaves emitted by the bracelet.

"General." Gu Chenxi said proudly.

Seeing Shen Cheng's weak appearance, he realized that the nanobots had spread all over his body, and Shen Cheng was already a sheep with broken legs at this moment, unable to move in front of the hunter.

Gu Chenxi stood up and glanced at the magic circle beside him. He walked over and picked up the so-called quadrangular and held it in his hand.

“.... Is this the ritual you're attached to? ”

Gu Chenxi hesitated for a moment, but still asked. In fact, what kind of gold ritual quadrangular body is there, and there are no totems of various ghosts and gods on it, let alone golden light.

It was just a child's four-cornered volume of wood, which could be found in the market casually, and Shen Cheng had painted many random patterns on the four sides with a black pen.

The death ritual recorded in the history books is a wild history, and the quadrangular artifact mentioned in it has never been found by the world.

[He was already insane, completely insane.] ]

Gu Chenxi threw the building block on the ground, stepped on it, and crushed it back and forth.

"It's all your hallucination.... It's just for the sake of an illusion..... Did you just kill those innocent people..."Gu Chenxi looked at Shen Cheng and said helplessly.

Shen Cheng smiled bitterly and responded weakly: "Hallucination.... Illusion or reality .... It's really that heavy either...."

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Jiajia finally woke up from a coma. She had a long dream in which she returned to the dark alley and met the man-eating demon again.

The wolf that had been fighting it had reappeared, but unlike last time, this time there was no glowing door in the alley. She ran through the alley until it was so dark that she could no longer tell the difference between heaven and earth.

Suddenly, a little boy walked up to her, and the boy had an innocent smile on his face, as if he was happy to see him.

He ran out of the darkness with Zhang Jiajia and came to a plain, the dark clouds in the sky receded, and the gentle sunlight shone on her. In the haze, she vaguely saw a figure standing in the distance, and a fiery red tree stood next to the figure.

"Hey! Little girl, wake up little girl! ”

With the voice calling for herself, Zhang Jiajia slowly opened her eyes and saw that the Xiao team of the police station was supporting herself, looking anxious.

"Hey! Ay! Doctor! This girl is awake, take her to the hospital! ”

Hearing the news, the paramedics hurriedly rushed over with stretchers. They carried Zhang Jiajia onto a stretcher and carried her towards the ambulance outside the building.

In the process, she saw Shen Cheng leaning against the corner of the wall, one hand being handcogged to the relief, and his head drooping. Several police officers were surrounding him, trying to untie his hands from the wall.

Before she was lifted into the car, she saw that the policeman named Hongyu was also lying on a stretcher, in another ambulance, and the doctor next to her was performing CPR on him again, pressing his arms on his chest repeatedly.

In the case of a very weak person, a shot of anesthetic can be life-threatening.

Team Xiao ran out with the medical staff, and when he saw them rescuing Hongyu, he was stunned at the door, holding the corner of his mouth with one hand, his eyes moistened, and he looked at a loss.

Hongyu's mobile phone was held in Team Xiao's hand, and after a shock, dozens of missed calls from Meiyu were displayed on the screen.

People come and go, methodically handling the scene. It's like a symphony that is finally coming to an end, leaving only the ethereal sound of the piano, playing a gentle tune in the silence of the universe.

"Doctor Liu, the patient's heartbeat has returned to normal!" The nurse standing next to her said happily.

Dr. Liu took out a flashlight, opened Hongyu's eyes with one hand, and looked at it with a flashlight for a while.

"Do you need to give the patient epinephrine?"

"No need." He looked at Hongyu's dilated pupils and replied suspiciously, "Looks like someone has already used it for him." ”

On the other end, the police finally untied Shen Cheng's handcuffs and escorted him into the police car. After a certain distance from Zhang Jiajia, Shen Cheng also slowly regained his senses.

He looked at the shackles that trapped his hands and smiled helplessly, recalling the conversation just now, before the police arrived.

"It's your lover..... Wouldn't you be as desperate as I am? Shen Cheng was handcuffed in the corner, looked at Gu Chenxi who was squatting beside Hong Yu and asked, "Aren't you also desperate..... Can you get here to save her? ”

After injecting Hongyu with adrenaline, Gu Chenxi responded: "I know that people can do anything for the sake of their love. ”

Gu Chenxi stood up, walked to the table, picked up a porcelain vase, and slammed it to the ground.

"But the question is...."He picked up a small piece of broken porcelain on the ground and slowly walked in front of Shen Cheng, "How much can you give for your lover?" ”

Gu Chenxi squatted down and stuffed the broken porcelain piece under Shen Cheng's strap.

"You and I both know that there's another way to be with her, isn't there?"

After speaking, the corners of Gu Chenxi's eyes twitched and looked at Shen Cheng. He felt that the best way to get Zhang Jiajia out of danger completely was to solve the source of danger once and for all.

Shen Cheng slowly raised his head and looked into Gu Chenxi's eyes. There was a fire burning in those eyes, and they were beating as if they were alive.

He smiled bitterly and understood what Gu Chenxi meant. Then he moved the broken porcelain piece deeper into the strap.

Recalling this, the car escorting Shen Cheng also started and prepared to drive in the direction of the police station.

On Shen Cheng's side and opposite, there was a guard sitting on each side, all holding a police rifle in his hand. The two of them were staring at Shen Cheng with hatred in their eyes.

Shen Cheng looked at the police officer opposite and sneered.

"What are you laughing at?!" The officer yelled at him, "Be honest! ”

"Hmph... Ha ha.. Hahaha..."

While the eyes of the two police officers were fixed on his face, Shen Cheng made a small movement in his hand and slowly took out the broken porcelain piece hidden under the strap.

“... I'm thinking... Will you be demoted because of me...."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Cheng immediately grabbed the small piece of broken porcelain and stabbed it fiercely on his neck.

He is also a doctor, and he knows the location of the arteries very accurately. The moment he felt the sharp porcelain piece piercing in, Shen Cheng clenched the porcelain piece tightly and cut a long cut on his neck.

Blood gushed out from the arteries and spilled on the officer's body and on the seat of the car. Seeing this scene, the two police officers were stunned, they hurriedly stopped the escort car, one pressed his hand on Shen Cheng's neck, and the other hurriedly called a doctor.

Team Xiao, who was still standing at the scene of the crime, saw the escort car suddenly stopped, and a chill couldn't help but rise behind them. Suddenly, in his peripheral vision, he could faintly see a figure crouching on the eaves of the house in the distance.

But when Team Xiao turned his head to see what it was, the figure disappeared.

"Sleep. Bar... Ha ha.. Go to sleep... My dear... Loved... Treasure.. Shellfish ....."

Shen Cheng was lying in a pool of blood humming a song, tears of remorse sliding from the corners of his eyes. Is he regretting his actions? Of course not, he was just regretting that he hadn't been able to spend more time with his wife in the first place.

“... Ha... Haha....."

He smiled bitterly, compared to the pain in his heart, the pain in his body was nothing at all. At this moment, he just wants to die, and for him, there is nothing left to be nostalgic about in this world.

[Everything is ridiculous, illusory and ethereal, everything is in vain.] ]

Gradually, Shen Cheng lay on the ground expressionlessly, his body no longer moved, his eyes looked between his fingers, and there was no light in his eyes. The medical staff who arrived stood next to him and shook his head helplessly.

No one knows whether at the last moment of his life he saw his long-lost wife in a hallucination. Or, at last, he came to his senses, saw nothing, and died with remorse.

At the end of the story, just like the pot of kapok that was coincidentally raised, the flower language is full of helplessness, and it is always reminding everyone in the world.
