When Xiang Nanxing opened his eyes, there was only a snow-white ceiling in front of him. The back of his head rested on a ball of soft cotton cloth, his body covered with a thin quilt, and the smell of disinfectant potion permeated the air.

What's going on? He raised his hand to press his heavy head and struggled to sit up from the bed. There was still a faint pain in the back of his neck, but it improved significantly after moving left and right, which showed that the hands-on manpower had an excellent grasp of the manpower, which could not only make him unconscious on the spot, but also not cause any sequelae.

"That's right, that's right." He muttered, "I was knocked unconscious." ”

Finally a line was finally made out in his mushy head, and he slowly remembered the events before he was knocked unconscious. went berserk, reached out to stop the host, and ...... The figure who was stabbed through the chest......

"Ahh Nangong! Xiang Nanxing suddenly woke up and straightened up. The scene that had made him lose his mind for a while reappeared in his mind at this time, but it was undiminished, and it still made his heart beat wildly as if it was about to come out of his chest. It's just that this time there was no host to stop him, but a deep voice sounded before he lost control.

"Be quiet." The voice said.

Xiang Nanxing subconsciously turned his head and saw that it was a tall young man who spoke. The man, dressed in a blazer and hanging diagonally in front of his neck with one hand and half of his body wrapped in white gauze, was sitting on the edge of another hospital bed looking at him. Xiang Nanxing only had a slight impression of his face, but the moment he saw that figure, he almost reflexively thought of the black shadow that had just appeared in his mind.

"It's you!"

Xiang Nanxing turned over and got out of bed, and directly put on a fighting posture, but the young man didn't even stand up, let alone make a move. His face was gloomy, and he raised a finger to his lips: "Don't make noise, she needs to recuperate." ”

Only then did Xiang Nanxing notice that there was another person lying on the bed behind him. Under the light of the room, the man's skin was as smooth as porcelain, his eyes were closed, and his face was serene. Although the lower part of her face was blocked by a translucent respirator, Xiang Nanxing still recognized it at a glance - this was Nangong Qian.

At this time, although she closed her eyes and was unconscious, her chest was still undulating, her face was ruddy, and her heartbeat curve and blood pressure on the monitor next to her were quite stable, and she seemed to be in good condition.

"This ......" Xiang Nanxing was stunned.

"Don't worry, the incision is deep, but I avoided all the vital blood vessels and nerves, and immediately after that, I was sterile. Now that the emergency surgery has been successfully completed, there is no major problem. It's you kid......" The young man squinted at him, "I heard that you ran into that uncle judge head-on for my little sister?" It's kind of kind. ”

"It's just a spur of the moment...... Wait a minute! Xiang Nanxing suddenly noticed the details in the other party's words, "You said you are little sister?" ”

He looked at the young man's facial features in surprise, and if he looked closely, he was really a little similar to Nangong Qian. It's just that the physique of the two is really different, Nangong Qian is short, but this man is almost a head taller than him when he stands up, if he really wants to say that he is a brother and sister, there must be some genetic mutation in this.

"I haven't introduced myself yet." The man said, "I'm Wang, the third in the list of hosts, and at the same time, ...... Akane's own brother. ”

"But ......" Xiang Nanxing's eyes fell on Nangong Qian next to him, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he had just pierced his chest, and at this moment, there was a nameless fire in his heart, "If she is your sister, why did you do such a thing to her just now?" ”

"Oh?" Nangong Wang raised his eyebrows.

"You know that! is also a person from a killer family, you must understand! Xiang Nanxing said, unconsciously clenching his fists, "You know, the knife she stabbed at the gem just now was not a mistake, it was because she didn't intend to kill you in the first place, she just wanted to destroy the gem." You changed the gem in advance, because you also expected such a situation! But Xiaoqian treated you like that, why did you have to make such a heavy hand when it was your turn! ”

He lowered his voice, and by the end it was all sounds coming from deep in his throat, sounding like the roar of some kind of beast. On the premise of not disturbing Nangong Qian's rest, he was desperately suppressing his anger and trying his best to endure it.

Nangong looked at Xiang Nanxing like this, and suddenly smiled. He didn't answer the other party's question, but suddenly asked rhetorically: "Xiang Nanxing, how much do you know about the Nangong family?" ”

"I haven't been in contact with anyone other than Xiaoqian, but she said that her family is famous in the industry. It is a family of professional killers, almost everyone is a good killer, and it has been strong for more than ten generations from ancient times to the present. ”

"It's been strong for more than a dozen generations." Nangong Wang sneered, "Then do you know the secret of being strong?" ”

"This ......"

Xiang Nanxing was about to speak, but suddenly paused, and then realized that he was unknowingly led by the other party's nose and left. The anger that had once surged up gradually disappeared in this question and answer, and it seemed that he had lost the motivation to fight. But then again, when he saw Nangong Qian's condition with his own eyes, the string in his heart had actually relaxed, and the outburst just now was not so much anger as the last time the stimulation brought to him by that scene returned to his body.

This Nangong Wang obviously saw through this easily, and even used a few words to divert the other party's attention and completely extinguish this superfluous emotion. To be able to do this, he is undoubtedly an extremely terrible guy.

At this time, seeing that Xiang Nanxing couldn't answer, he said the answer himself: "The key to the continuation of the Nangong family lies in selection and education. Select the best talents, give the best education, and pass on the best genes from generation to generation. ”

"Don't change the subject, what I just said is why you are going to be heavy-handed!"

"If you don't start from scratch, you won't understand." Nangong Wang said slowly, "How did the children of the Nangong family grow up, did Qian tell you this?" ”

"I know that." Xiang Nanxing hesitated for a moment, but finally replied after his words, "She told me that there are some elders in the family who are specifically responsible for identifying the qualifications of children and determining the direction of cultivation. The Nangong family will give the most appropriate education according to the situation of each child. ”

"yes, then just one." Nangong Wang continued.

"What?"

"Add four words to your words: Leave only one." He repeated, "This is the fate of this family." The more people on the side, the better, but each generation of the family can only leave the best one to inherit the entire family as the head of the family. ”

Xiang Nanxing was shocked: "Wait, but you ......"

"I was the only one who escaped, and that's where it all began." He said lightly.

At this moment, Xiang Nanxing vaguely felt that many things seemed to be explained, but he couldn't see it clearly for a while. He didn't bother Nangong Wang's narration anymore, just listened quietly.

For a moment, only the latter's bland voice remained in the room.

"The people of the Nangong family are counted as adults at the age of fifteen, and the age of twenty-three is the final date of selection. From the age of fifteen, they can be challenged by others of their peers and at the same time challenge others, and these eight years are the time of selection. The family stipulates that only one person in a generation can live past the age of twenty-three, and if two people reach this age, they must fight to the death, leaving only one. If so, when a generation is eliminated to the point where only the last one remains, this person will be the future head of the Nangong family. Nangong family's version of eugenics and eugenics means just that.

Therefore, the heads of the family in successive generations have been polygamous and have many children, which makes it easy to screen out the most suitable candidates. Hundreds of years ago, when the rules were still relaxed, there were a few people in a generation who voluntarily gave up their inheritance qualifications, and those people multiplied after they got married, and eventually became the current many side families, escorting the prosperity of their families. But now, it has become an iron rule to leave only one generation.

The head of this generation is more special, he only married one wife in his life and had a son and a daughter, but no one dared to say that he was not, because his son was known as a rare genius in the history of the Nangong family, and his daughter was also a first-class good qualification. The talents of both of them are so good that if they were in the side house, they would be held in the palm of their hands as treasures.

But this is our family, the rules can't be changed, and only one can be left between the two. The head of the family finally chose his son and gave up his younger daughter, who was weaker in health, ahead of schedule. He only taught his daughter the most basic things, apparently not expecting anything from the start. But the nosy son didn't understand the mystery of this, and became a volunteer teacher, and the two got along for a long time and had a very good relationship. So on that day, when his son accidentally learned the secret of 'leaving only one person', his mood completely collapsed.

He couldn't accept that he and his sister had to die between one of them. After painful reflections, he still couldn't accept such a fate. So he decides to devise a plan that will allow both him and his sister to escape the twisted family. He knew that his sister was not good at lying and couldn't hide secrets, so he always kept it a secret from her, and just continued to teach her all kinds of necessary killer techniques, which was not only to make up for the unfair treatment in the family, but also to prepare for future actions.

He set the date for his action on the night of his sister's 15th birthday coming-of-age ceremony. When the day came a few years later, he immediately challenged it. No one in the family had any doubts, and they all thought that he had decided to cut through the chaos when the latter was fledgling. The battle that followed under the watchful eye of everyone seemed to be fierce, but in fact, it was all something that the brothers and sisters agreed on in advance, and set up the moves. When it came to the critical moment, I gave her a code and was ready to complete one of the most important steps in my plan. ”

Unconsciously, Nangong Wang's narration has changed from the third person to his own narration. He also seemed to have forgotten Xiang Nanxing on the other side for a while, pulled out of this small room, and returned to the rainy night that he remembered vividly.

The moment he began to substitute himself in it, the wound on his forehead seemed to throb again. Nangong Qian's expression when he slashed out the knife resurfaced in front of his eyes at this moment, and every time he thought about it, it was as if an invisible hand was holding his heart tightly from the inside, and he felt like he was about to die.

It's been years since it always was.
