Chapter 126: Peeling Back the Cocoon (2)
() Shen Yu's words made the entire ward seem depressed. Lin Xia looked at the drawings, and then at Shen Yu's solemn expression.
"When I asked you how you got hurt, you always said you couldn't remember. I knew you didn't want to say it, so I didn't force you. However, you promised me that you can't hide anything from me.
So, have you seen Gu Bai? ”
"Hmm...
"Did he hurt you? He knows all about you? ”
Shen Yu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and didn't speak, and only slowly spoke after a long time.
"After the epidemic was brought under control, I went to the cold city. When you received the key, I had a hunch that it would be him.
But if you can get past me and find you directly, I'm afraid he will be bad for you. So while it was open, I went back to the villa.
I still miss seeing a place I haven't been back for many years. I can tell that the house has been cleaned before, otherwise more than ten years of dust, it would not be so little.
I cleaned the house inside and out, but I didn't touch Gu Bai's room. Then I lay down in my room, waiting for him to come to me.
I don't know how long later, when I woke up, I was tied up in a dark room full of torture instruments. There, I met Gu Bai, whom I hadn't seen for more than ten years.
Gu Bai looked very similar to me before, and the only difference may be his skin color and eyes. Because I have been in the army all year round, my skin is relatively dark, but Gu Bai is unusually fair, white and transparent.
And then there are the eyes, the same pair of eyes, but his eyes are only dark and cold. There is no temperature. ”
Listening to Shen Yu recall what happened before, Lin Xia also depicted Gu Bai's appearance in his mind little by little.
"When I asked him where he had gone all these years and why it had become like this, he didn't answer me, he just kept torturing me with torture instruments.
He got tired and began to speak to himself what I didn't understand at the time. ”
"What did he say?"
He said, "The world you see is a wall of lies. It is said that all emotions do not stand up to the scrutiny of human nature.
He said that these torture instruments and this basement were prepared by our parents and were specially used for them to paint the peace.
I don't even know why he became like this? What a terrible degree of brainwashing that man had given him. ”
Shen Yu covered his face with emotion and said bitterly. Lin Xia looked at him sadly, feeling very uncomfortable.
She was sad not because Shen Yu felt sorry for her brother, but she was hurt by her brother.
It's what Gu Bai said, the ones that Shen Yu didn't believe, but to some extent, they were true.
But Lin Xia didn't know how to tell Shen Yu, she knew that Shen Yu was actually living a very painful life. The parents are gone, and the younger brother has become like this again. Therefore, Shen Yu even has an extreme desire to protect and possess Lin Xia.
"Shen Yu, I'm still here, you calm down and listen to me.
I'm really sorry for making you remember these pains. However, you and I both know that these pains can be the triggers of psychological pathologies. Let's solve it together, I'll accompany you and face it together. Don't take it all alone, you and me.
The world is not black and white, more gray than can be seen. I'm sure you look beyond this and see it better than I do.
The reason why Gu Bai was used was because the other party made him see the darkness of the world and irreversible.
Because he is a genius with a high IQ, he will be manipulated by people who are even more demagogic. Or it can be said that Gu Bai thought that the world was like that, so he would resonate with the other party. ”
Shen Yu calmed down for a while before slowly raising his head. Holding Lin Xia's hand, there was a great stability in my heart.
"I know, I just don't want to admit it. Gu Bai will go from such a wise genius to a demon. ”
"Actually, about the torture room under the villa...
"I understand that my parents did it. It must also be the node of Gu Bai's worldview tilt.
That basement, I never knew it existed. Until my parents died, I cleaned up the whole villa and found some letters among my parents' belongings.
That's when I learned that my father was dealing with some people in the center of power, and some tricky and difficult people would use his hands to make those people disappear in the torture room.
And the death of a parent is not just a terrorist act of original sin. The real reason is to protect me and Gu Bai.
They and those politicians Zhou Xuan did not succeed in getting out. And they have some of the tricks of those people, and those politicians have created accidents under this conspiracy in order to protect their careers. ”
"So, you knew it from the beginning...
"Well, the death of my parents, I checked for a long time. In the end, it was your father who told me the truth.
At that time, there were spies planted by other countries in the center of political rights, and the identity of my parents was among them, and Zhou Xuan was the most secure to find evidence.
After getting that evidence, they were also exposed. All the evidence was handed over to the Security Bureau, and on the way back, they encountered an accident.
The only thing that the upper echelons could give them was a martyr's meritorious medal. At that time, I was disappointed and hopeless in the world, and even had a dark mind.
I resent the injustice of the world, and even the so-called justice that I have always adhered to, but it was in that situation that you pulled me out of the swamp. ”
Lin Xia was stunned, she didn't remember what she had done? And the time when Shen Yu said, she should be in high school at that time, right? She doesn't know Shen Yu?
Seeing the doubts in Lin Xia's eyes, Shen Yu smiled and said in a low voice, "After my parents died, one day I went to your house to find your father. ”
You came back that day, like a child who had been freed from bondage, put down your schoolbag and started playing with the family dog.
A carefree girl in the sun, with a sweet smile that gives me great healing. At that time, the forest team said to me, you have a good life every day, but not because you don't have troubles, but because you know what kind of life you want.
Team Lin's words made me think about it for a long time. Pain is temporary, and by working on it, you can grow. If it's irreversible, just accept it and know how you want to live.
Later, the police academy was specially trained, but I didn't recognize you at first. Later, I found out that you were the little fairy who let me see the sun. ”
What Shen Yu said, Lin Xia really didn't remember. But Shen Yu will change all the bad efforts, actively face them, and solve them. Even if the gloom is inevitable, it is real. He will also try his best to be himself and live transparently.
Gu Bai, on the other hand, will magnify the bad things and immerse himself in pessimism. Even on the good side, he runs away from it and even thinks of the worst.
This is the biggest difference between the two, and one is the reason why one has become the sun and the other lives in the shadows.
