Chapter 168: Keqi

"Do you want to say it's my fault?" Ling Shucheng's voice only raised for a moment, and then he regained his composure, and said in a complicated tone, "Not long ago, Yuan Sui once told me that even if two people who meet every day and seem to be familiar with each other, they can never guess what the other person is thinking. 35xs" frowned and closed his eyes, he sighed and shook his head, "I don't really understand the meaning of that sentence now. ”

"Only now do you understand? Then you're really naΓ―ve. Kong Zhongsi barely controlled his crazy heaving chest, and glanced at the time again, "Also, a person like you will never be able to understand what I am doing!" ”

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and I'm not interested in what other people want to do." Ling Shucheng stepped forward slightly and asked in a cold voice, "But I want to know why you did all this." What is the reason why you can pay such a price and work hard to complete it? ”

"Reason? Ha, your focus is really interesting. Kong Zhongsi's facial muscles were overworked, and he looked hideously like a clumsy actor who was overexerting himself on the stage, "At this juncture, you didn't choose to pounce on me directly, or tie me back and apologize to the stone tablet engraved with those who I killed?" ”

"I don't have such weird hobbies." Ling Shucheng always watched his every move, and said coldly, "Put away your terrifying appearance." What's the point of performing at me afterwards? You don't care about her as much as you appear to be right now. ”

The rickety figure swayed from side to side, and Kong Zhongsi's facial features instantly drooped, indifferent like a stone statue mass-produced by inverted molds. He raised his hand to brush all the soaked hair on his forehead to the top of his head, re-revealing a polite, programmed smile like a shopping guide in a shopping mall, and then slowly spit out a few words:

"You know the."

"I don't understand." Ling Shucheng replied quickly, "Even the most vicious criminals often have a trace of conscience in their hearts. The killer who is a cruel killer may be the best brother in the eyes of his sister, and in the final analysis, human beings are still emotional animals that cannot be separated from social relations, and everyone will have a bond to prevent him from going astray. The only person who can sacrifice what he has after decades of hard work can only be an avenger alone. But I don't understand, what exactly are you going to take revenge on? ”

Like an unwound machine, Kong Zhongsi maintained an awkward posture and stood still for a while, and finally lowered his eyes and asked, "Su Cheng, do you really like the girl under your hands?" ”

"Yes." Ling Shucheng didn't have any twisting.

"Sure...... You've only known her for a long time. Kong Zhongsi lowered his head and gently slapped his toes on the ground, "Miao, I and Miao, since kindergarten, have been classmates. ”

"I know." Ling Shucheng nodded, "Of course I know." Growing up, I've heard about the love story of the two of you from at least ten different people. ”

"Huh, huh?" Kong Zhongsi wiped his face vigorously, laughed dryly, and paused for a long time before he said for sure, "I love her very much." In other words, she was the only one who could remind me that I was indeed a 'person' with a 'heart'. ”

"What do you mean?" Ling Shucheng struggled to understand his overly freehand expression.

"Your father once said in front of me that perhaps because of the special experience when you were a child, you have always been a person who is particularly sensitive to the emotions of others." Kong Zhongsi kicked the puddle beside him, causing a long splash, "Then have you seen how I am different from others?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Occasionally, I feel a little bit. Ling Shucheng replied, "But I can't say." ”

"Yes. After all, after so many years, even Miao Miao has not found out. Kong Zhongsi stiffly shook his neck back and forth, and asked abruptly again, "When you were a child, did you observe ants?" ”

Interrupting Ling Shucheng, who was about to speak, with a gesture, he said in a mysterious tone, "Oh, I almost forgot. You should have been busy receiving one-on-one tutoring at that time, and you didn't have this time to spare. ”

"Yes." Ling Shucheng responded.

"The kindergarten I went toβ€”there were only five in the ship, but I'd like to limit itβ€”had a very large flower bed at its entrance. When the 35xs season changes, a few workers come in the evening to uproot the dead plants one by one and replace them with fresh ones. Every time Miao Miao saw it when she was in school, she would exclaim and ask me, 'Why don't the flowers in the flower bed always wither?' Kong Zhongsi's face showed a look of genuine nostalgia, "She is this kind of carefree silly girl who has lived all her life." ”

Ling Shucheng listened quietly.

"One morning, I was crouching on the edge of the flower bed and watching the ants that had to start a new move, moving slowly and slowly, end to end. Later, when I got tired of seeing it, I trampled the nearest few to death, trying to see if they would choose to go around or step on the corpses of their own kind. Kong Zhongsi tilted her head, her demeanor was different from her usual time, and the whole person even looked a little naΓ―ve, "Then she, who had been squatting next to me to watch, suddenly burst into tears, blaming me for why she did such a cruel thing." ”

Smiling at Ling Shucheng again, he continued unhurriedly: "At that moment, I finally understood what the 'sense of disobedience' I often experienced was all about. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You say, man is such a strange creature." With a long sigh, the smile on Kong Zhongsi's face didn't even dissipate because of this, "I can eat the cooked food on the plate without changing my face, but I cover my eyes and say that I can't bear to watch the process of slaughtering livestock." ”

"You're saying we're all hypocritical?" Ling Shucheng asked.

"No, it's not." Kong Zhongsi shook his head heavily, "I just realized that I was 'abnormal'. ”

Ling Shucheng felt that he was becoming more and more confused.

"I don't seem to have been able to understand why people think things like 'flowers' are 'beautiful'." Kong Zhongsi's thick eyebrows furrowed, as if he was talking about something incredible, "I never understood where such cute things as kittens and puppies are." Aren't they, like bats, just one type of mammal? With the same large number of virus vectors and the same risk of harming people, why do humans always tend to like certain specific, small, round-eyed, hairy things? ”

He faced Ling Shucheng with his arms wide open, like an opera singer who was about to bring the audience's emotions to the climax: "I don't understand why my parents gave birth to me, so they have to love me." There are so many species in nature that eat their newborn cubs for nutrition, aren't they? I don't understand why I would be hated if I reported a classmate who cheated in the exam to the teacher. They were the first to break the rules! Or what are the so-called 'love' and 'hate'? Is there something secreted in the brain? It's also too abstract. ”

"You're saying you've never experienced it...... Feelings? The same frowning action, Ling Shucheng, who has always been silent, is much more natural in his confusion.

"yes. But in order to fit in with the world and not be seen as a freak by everyone, I have had to look no different every day for more than 30 years. Kong Zhongsi grabbed a handful of his hair, "I'm like an actor who can't read the script, but I am forced to walk on the set one after another every day." Can you understand the feeling? I really feel like I'm tired of living. ”

"So, you actually can't understand Su Miao's feelings for you, right?" Ling Shucheng looked at him, and a pity gradually grew in his eyes.

"She sticks to my ear every day and tells me she loves me." With a little blush of happiness on his face, Kong Zhongsi looked like the male protagonist in a literary film at this time, "No matter whether I can respond or not, no matter how clumsy it is, she never gives up." Although I still can't understand why she is so persistent, I thought, maybe this is 'love'? There is finally one person in the world who really loves me, and that's enough. ”

"Then why do you ......?"

Seemingly unwilling to answer this question, Kong Zhongsi's expression fell again, and he asked instead, "Do you know why your father chose me?" ”

"Because your talent is special." Ling Shucheng subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife in his sleeve.

"yes, it's special. My talent is imitation. It's not just about imitating other people's movements, moves, or even ...... A talent that someone else is using. Kong Zhongsi tilted his head and looked at him, "This is really the biggest irony of fate on me, isn't it?" ”

"I've heard a little bit about your father." Ling Shucheng adjusted his focus to ensure that he was in the best state to shoot at any time, "What ability you can show is determined by the opponent." If you're playing against ordinary people, you'll only be able to use ordinary fighting skills. But if you're dealing with a gifted person, you can imitate his appearance while using his abilities and use the talents of others in exactly the same way. Once the other person stops, you will no longer be able to use it. In other words, you're like a mirror, and if no one is standing in front of you, you can't reflect anything. ”

"It's not just that, I can't use things I don't understand. For example, the so-called 'spiritual ability', orβ€”" Kong Zhongsi deliberately pulled a long tone, "You and your father were not able to do it once. I never understood why I couldn't mimic your ability to control gravity. Because your only gift is to 'manifest', in other words, you are like a universal solvent. This is too much beyond my barren imagination, and I can't believe that I haven't been able to do it accurately a few times. ”

"I don't want to be compared to something so weird." Ling Shucheng accurately grasped the word "once" in the other party's mouth.

"I'm still grateful to your father. It was because he didn't want to hand over some dirty things to you that I had access to a lot of secrets. ”

"Are these secrets worth killing 'the only person in the world who truly loves you'?" It may sound sarcastic, but Ling Shucheng's tone sounds a little sad.

The sound of a deep breath is like pulling the bellows hard. As if to convince himself, Kong Zhongsi nodded desperately, gritted his teeth and replied, "Of course." For those of us who have been in a test-tube for the rest of our lives, death is the only relief. ”
