The fear of death pierced my entire body like an electric shock, and my whole body stiffened involuntarily.

But when despair reached its peak, I felt a sense of peace in my heart.

It's a very bizarre feeling, and it's hard to put into words.

It's like running a long distance, when your body reaches the extreme, it seems that the next moment you can't hold on, and your whole body seems to lose control...... There was only that sense of will, clearer than ever.

"Lin Sen." I spoke suddenly.

The other party's body trembled visibly.

"You're - Lin. Forest. I repeated.

The other party twisted his body slightly unnaturally, "You ......," he said, "Die." ”

The trigger is pulled by the index finger.

Even though I was already aware and prepared to face death, when this moment really came, I couldn't help but sigh.

Is that...... The attachment to life, as well as the regret of his unfinished business.

I found that when death actually came, I still couldn't look at it...... The only courage I had left was enough to make me tense my body, close my eyes slowly, and look less out of shape.

"Bang!"

At this moment, suddenly a gunshot rang out!

I woke up and opened my eyes!

When the gun rang out, the opponent's crossbow fell to the ground, but the arrow was still fired—

A little silver flash was amplified in my pupils, and my eyes seemed to be pierced by the sharp arrows, which was scorching and painful!

I didn't even have time to dodge for a moment before the steel arrow grazed my cheek dangerously, and for a moment, I felt a burning sting in the right side of my face.

"Aggie! How's that—" The old knife's voice rang out.

Just now, when the last shot, it turned out that the old knife arrived and fired a shot in the distance.

At the moment when the crossbow was shot down, the murderer was only slightly stunned, and then flashed into the corridor with his hand wounded by the bullet and fled upstairs.

I collapsed, leaning against the wall all at once, my vest sweating.

"You're not dead, are you?" The old knife has run to me. Seeing my miserable appearance, he owes this kind of thing to him.

I shook my head, "I'm fine. People are running upstairs, you shoot carefully, leave me alive. ”

"Don't worry."

The old knife dropped these two words, and the people had already chased upstairs,

I took a deep breath and struggled to get my body off the wall when I heard another gunshot from upstairs.

Without further hesitation, I picked up the flashlight on the ground and hurried upstairs.

When I climbed up to the third floor with a rolling belt, I took a flashlight and saw that more than 20 meters away, the murderer had been put to the ground, and the old knife held down the other party, and he was taking the handcuffs from his waist and handcuffing the opponent's hands behind his back.

Downstairs, Xiao Wu's command also came up, and then, dozens of heavily armed armed police soldiers ran up from downstairs, passed me, and rushed towards the murderer who was restrained by the old knife.

When I approached the murderer, the armed police soldiers had already surrounded him, and the barrels of their guns were like a row of steel jungles, pointing at the criminals.

"Come, see what you really are, master." The old knife said, lifting the mask of the murderer.

A face that we are very familiar with, but also very abrupt.

Because this was originally a person who could not have appeared alive again.

That's right, he's already "dead", Lin Sen.

"Come, be lenient in confession, and strict in resisting—let's talk about it." When the old knife saw the real person under the mask, his surprised expression just flashed, and he changed to a smug look.

Lin Sen snorted, "You can't even guess my identity, I don't bother to talk to low-IQ creatures." He said.

I noticed that Lin Sen's expression when he spoke was not at all like a criminal who was ambushed, and he seemed to have a strange sense of superiority over us, as if the angle he was standing on was something we needed to look up to.

The old knife was a little unbearable when Lin Sen said this, and he counterattacked: "You are awesome!" Aren't you bullish and knocked down by Lao Tzu with a shot? Turtle son, what garlic to pretend! ”

Lin Sen snorted coldly again, and there was an awe-inspiring look on his face, "I want to go, I'll leave now." With you, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch me. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I felt bad.

"Old knife, take off his chin, quick!" I shouted.

But when I said this, I actually knew that it was useless.

If I hadn't been injured, I might have had a chance.

The old knife quickly moved.

"It's late."

I crouched down, took a bitten capsule from Linson's mouth, and closed his jaw.

"Forensics!" Xiao Wu shouted from behind, and the forensic doctor in his white robe came up and took the capsule from my hand, I knew it would not help, but I also went with them.

I coughed dryly, attracting Lin Sen's attention, I looked directly at him, and said, "The matter has come to this, why don't you tell the truth." ”

Lin Sen bit the poison sac, it was only a few seconds, and his face was already a little wrong, but his face was full of ridicule, and he asked me in a sarcastic tone: "The truth, what is the real truth, and what is the real truth?" ”

I sighed: "Whoever kills, people will always kill him." In this life, you kill them, and in the next life, they kill you, and they often come back, what's the point? ”

Lin Sen still sneered: "You think you're smart? But if you don't know how to pretend to understand, it's the most stupid. ”

"The poor must have something to hate, and vice versa. I'm sure you must have unspeakable grievances. I didn't care about Lin Sen's tone, "I'm a spirit detective, have you heard of this profession?" ”

Lin Sen stared at me for a while, nodded, still with that sneering look, and said, "It's nothing more than your life, no wonder." ”

"I know your soul is stuck in this dead loop, speak up and let me help you." I said sincerely. At the same time, I prayed in my heart that the toxins in the poison sac would not be too domineering, and that I would be given more time.

"You don't have to be pretended." He still sneered, "You're just afraid that you'll fall into it, so if you want to help me, it's better to save it." ”

I nodded and acknowledged, "You're right." I'm a little pretentious. But I continued, "But even if it is a Buddha who pervades all sentient beings from suffering, all sentient beings have become followers of the Buddha because of this. You see, even a Buddha can't be so great that he doesn't think about himself at all, let alone a layman? ”

Lin Sen sneered for the first time, stared at me for a while, and said, "Although it is still strong, it is not a fart after all." ”

When I saw him like this, I should have been able to speak, so I waited for him to speak.

Sure enough, he said, "You don't have to worry, this cycle of death has been broken by me in this life, and from then on, there will be no more life and life to kill each other." His face was already ugly, and the capsule he prepared must be hopelessly poisonous, "You see, my hands are covered with blood, but I have also saved many lives in the world, do you think I am considered to be a universal sentient being, I'm afraid I have a Buddha fate, right?" Haha, hahaha! ”

He laughed maniacally, but it didn't sound pleasant, but it made people feel palpitations.

The crowd was silent.

"I don't have much time, so I'll tell you a story." Lin Sen said.

I know that something important is coming, so I naturally listen quietly.

This story is not long, so for the sake of ease of narration, I will organize it and then use the first-person point of view, and briefly remember it as follows:

"One day, the city was besieged, and after holding out for a year, there was a great famine, and people competed for cannibalism.

The six of us have known each other since childhood, and when the city was besieged, we, as people, had no choice but to go to the battlefield, but we had a great life and survived in the pile of the dead. However, there is a problem with living, because there is nothing to eat. The six of us were so hungry that we couldn't even get up and walk, so we hid in a hidden cave at the foot of a city wall, and we could only wait for death.

One night, a few days later, I was awakened by a sharp pain.

When I opened my eyes, it was dark in the cave, but in the darkness there were five pairs of wolf-like eyes staring at me coldly—oh no, staring at my flesh!

I immediately understood, they were going to eat me!

It's just because I'm the fattest of all the creatures, and I'm the most cowardly of the six.

I was in pain, I was scared, but I was hungry, and they were still holding me down, and I was powerless to resist, so I could only cry and cry and plead, but they ignored me.

yes, once this kind of thing starts, how can it stop.

They silently took turns slashing me with their knives, because they were too hungry and had no strength to do it alone.

I originally thought that they might be thinking that we were friends after all, so they couldn't bear to kill me all at once. Because that night, they cut off only one of my legs, and then helped me stop the bleeding and tied me to the side.

They did not dare to make a fire, for the smell of boiled meat would attract others, and there was no living person left in the city, except for the dead, all of whom were hungry with green eyes!

They cut my leg into small slices and ate them raw, and even gave me a few slices and stuffed them in my mouth, but I threw up.

The next morning, they unloaded my other leg again, and helped me to stop the bleeding as well, and then slice and eat it, and this time, they did not give me my flesh again, but looked at me with a feast-watching look, and one of them even drooled.

That's when I realized I was wrong.

Couldn't be more wrong.

They didn't kill me all at once, not because they couldn't bear to kill me, but because they wanted fresh meat!

I died on the fourth day, when they cut off my last arm.

When I was dying, I heard them swearing a poisonous oath, which was a poisonous spell that had been passed down in our hometown, and the content of the incantation was to buy their lives from Hades.

That's right, sell my life, buy theirs.

They swore that if they lived, then, in the next life, they would kill me to redeem their lives.

One life for one life, so they want to kill me for five lives, buy back the five lives that belong to them, and if they can't do it, they will be reincarnated in hell for the rest of their lives.

Isn't it unfair?

Why do they want me to suffer when they have done bad things?

If there really is a god, I have to ask, what is the reason of heaven?!

The moment I died, I figured it out.

I'm going to get my revenge on my own.

God is still fair.

They tried to kill me five times, and they gave me five chances.

I will send them to hell forever and ever. ”

After telling this story, Lin Sen was already dying, I didn't dare to interrupt him, just waiting for him to say his last words, which is the right of every dying person.

Even though I think he deserves it.

He was looking at me, but I could see that the light of life in his eyes was fading away, and I leaned close to his mouth, and he uttered the last words in a barely audible voice: "Actually, I am one of the cannibals in the story. ”

This sentence almost made me jump on the spot!

But he suddenly grabbed the corner of my coat, and I knew that he was trying to get the last bit of life, so I listened to what he had to say.

"I have known for a long time that this cycle of killing does not end one day. This is retribution. ”

"But I fell in love with her. I wanted to find a possibility for her. ”

"So, I volunteered to kill those who deserved to die for her, and I volunteered to die for her, and now, I finally ...... Did it. ”

I was horrified.

Looking at Lin Sen's face again, there was no blood at all, and his eyes were completely dark.

I've seen so many dead people that I don't even need to check his heartbeat and pulse to know he's dead.

But the corners of his mouth were smiling.

I squatted there for a long time before gently pulling away his hand that was holding the corner of my coat, and then stood up silently.

I left on the spot, whether Lao Dao or Xiao Wu called me, I didn't pay attention.

Lin Sen's last smile was imprinted in my memory for a long time.

Lin Sen's smile was not terrifying, but very peaceful and satisfied.

— but that's the scariest part.
