Yang Wenbin was stunned, subconsciously put down the microphone in his hand and turned around.

He was speechless at what he saw through the narrow plastic window of the phone booth.

At that moment, it was as if the time had stopped. An old lady haggling at a roadside vegetable stall, a young woman in a beautiful dress, and a young man who was in a hurry on the phone a second ago...... All the people around stopped their movements for some reason, and stood in place staring at Yang Wenbin. They didn't speak, they didn't act, they just stared at Yang Wenbin indifferently and sharply, like a group of robots waiting for instructions.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? Yang Wenbin's lips trembled, and he could barely speak.

"See?" Xia Baiyan's voice came from the microphone again, "Aren't you wondering why I can see your every move?" Aren't you curious how I managed to completely hide behind the scenes and manipulate everything? Now you should know. It's these people who pass by you every day, housewives who talk about their families every day, and office workers who are in a hurry, they are all my people, clowns. ”

"What are you kidding...... How is this possible! But Yang Wenbin's voice was getting weaker and weaker.

The eyes of the people staring at him in the streets were like he was a pathetic, lamb to the slaughter.

"Hah, it's a lot easier than you think." Xia Baiyan chuckled, "Human beings are such simple and ridiculous creatures, let me tell you, as long as there is enough motive, anyone will kill." All human beings need in the face of crime is an excuse to convince themselves, and I happen to be the one who gave them that excuse. It's okay if your wife cheats, it's because your husband isn't good enough for you; It doesn't matter if you don't pay your debts, it's because you're too poor; Killed? It doesn't matter – it's just because the world is so cruel to you. Once human beings give themselves an excuse, then no moral law can stop them, because this is the nature of human beings, they are born dirty and ignorant. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, why didn't you come directly to me and kill me!" Yang Wenbin said angrily.

"Kill you?" Xia Baiyan burst out laughing, "No, no, no, Dr. Yang, you must have misunderstood what I meant." I don't want to kill you. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago. Someone like you, who is good for nothing but his brains, doesn't even need me to do it myself. Any person around you right now, even the old lady who buys groceries, can shoot you in the head with one shot. No, I'm sure I'm not going to kill you. What about me—"

Xia Baiyan deliberately prolonged his voice, so that Yang Wenbin could hear it word by word through the microphone, "I will let you regret being born in this world." ”

The phone hung up, leaving only the empty "beep" and "beep" sound constantly echoing in Yang Wenbin's ears. I don't know when, the people on the street are back to their rhythm, shopping for groceries, making phone calls, as if everything that has just happened is just a pipe dream.

…… You madman. But Yang Wenbin didn't have the strength to say this sentence anymore, so he leaned on the phone booth and slid on the ground.

"Team Yan, where did Doctor Yang go!" Li Hong's anxious turnaround, Yang Wenbin's appearance of rushing out of the door in a trance not long ago was really worrying.

"I don't know, he threw his phone here." Yan Junli bent down and picked up Yang Wenbin's mobile phone and wiped the dust on it, but unfortunately, the screen of the mobile phone had been broken.

"That'...... Why don't I go find him? Li Hong was about to walk out of the warehouse as he spoke, "I probably know a few places he might go—"

"Come back!" Yan Junli shouted, making Li Hong tremble in shock.

"We have business to attend to." Yan Junli's tone sounded calm, and there was no expression on his face. He put Yang Wenbin's mobile phone aside, and turned on his mobile phone to make a call, "If you have normal eyesight, you should be able to see that there are still two corpses lying here." ”

"But, but that's Doctor Yang!" Li Hong's eyes widened and he complained, "Don't you care about his safety at all?" In his mental state, if something happens—"

Before Li Hong could finish speaking, Yan Junli interrupted him, "Then let's wait until we finish dealing with these two corpses!" ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Poppy opened his mouth at this time.

"Stay and protect the site. I'll go find him. ”

The two of them looked at the poppy in unison, and there was a little vigilance in their eyes, "Are you okay?" ”

"Just looking for someone. Don't worry, I'll contact you as soon as I find him. Poppy stood up, took Yang Wenbin's mobile phone, and raised it, "By the way, return this to him." ”

Yan Junli watched the poppy leave the warehouse, silent and said nothing.

Li Hong couldn't help but speak, "Team Yan, you-"

But Yan Junli didn't let Li Hong continue at all, so he waved his hand, "They are already on the way." Look at your feet and don't accidentally spoil the scene. ”

When Poppy finally found Yang Wenbin, it was near a dirty, messy stall in the "underground area."

Yang Wenbin sat on a cold brick, leaning against the trunk of a blackened dead tree. He buried his face in his arms, and his whole body seemed to melt into the black night, very quiet.

Poppy slowly approached Yang Wenbin, and just as she was about to pat the doctor on the shoulder, Yang Wenbin suddenly raised his head.

"I know what you want to ask, I'm not crying." Yang Wenbin said lightly.

"Who said you cried." Poppy stretched out his hand to Yang Wenbin, "Get up, I'll send you home." ”

Yang Wenbin stared at the poppy for a long time, and finally reached out and asked the poppy to pull him up from the cold ground.

"Are you okay? Can I walk on my own? ”

Yang Wenbin nodded, but then his knees went limp, and he almost fell.

Poppy sighed, stretched out his hand, and motioned for Yang Wenbin to put it on her shoulder, "In this way, hold me." ”

But Yang Wenbin shook his head, and almost stubbornly stood up, limping even more than before.

"Forget it. At least you're holding this, right? Poppy didn't know where to take out a cane and handed it to Yang Wenbin. This time, Yang Wenbin finally accepted her kindness, or the pain in his legs was really unbearable.
