Chapter 20: Please let him live

"You're not from here!" Teacher Mao extinguished the cigarette butt on the edge of the iron sheet of the trash can, and looked up at Qi Zihuan.

Qi Zihuan was shocked by this sudden sentence, and felt that the most obscure secret in his heart was snooped on, and immediately came up with the idea of killing people.

But soon he shook his head.

Knowing what, I won't stay here for long.

Teacher Mao took out another cigarette and said slowly, "I don't know where you're from, but you're certainly not from Hong Kong. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Qi Zihuan relaxed and said, "I can show you the documents." ”

Qi Zihuan has an identity in this world, and his documents are complete.

Teacher Mao shook his head and signaled no, and then said, "It's not important. I'm not saying that you don't act like a Hong Konger, the point is that you don't have feelings. At least, there is no affection for those of us. ”

"I haven't known you for a long time, so naturally my relationship will not be deep."

"It's not a question of whether it's deep or not, but I can feel that you look at us like a tool, a data, not a real person."

Qi Zihuan was taken aback again, pursed his lips, and did not reply.

Teacher Mao didn't intend to listen to Qi Zihuan's statement, and said to himself: "I inquired about your origin from Cessy and Xiao Ming, no one knows who you were before and what you did, until the beginning of the Chu Renmei incident, you suddenly appeared." ”

"It's just a coincidence, I've been ...... before"

"It's no coincidence that you deliberately approached Annie and Xiao Ming after you appeared, and then you have been actively guiding and pushing us to contact the truth. And you seem to know more than we have all along been. ”

"Yes, I do know more than you do. But that doesn't mean I'm going to hurt you. ”

"Well, I thought maybe you were behind it. So I've been praising you ever since I met you, just to see what you want to do. ”

"And then?"

"Later, you did save Biggie, and Chu Renmei's resentment and murder have nothing to do with you."

Qi Zihuan frowned and said, "Perhaps, there will be a few more good people like me in this world, so you won't be surprised." ”

The sun was setting in the west, and the back alley was gradually shrouded in shadows, and only Mr. Mao's cigarette butts were seen in the shadows.

"You're not a good person."

"I'm not a good person? But you just said that I rescued Biggie, helped you understand the truth of the matter, and even prepared to go to Heishuitan to find Chu Renmei desperately. ”

He still didn't figure out the purpose of Mr. Mao's talk to him alone, so he could only follow the other party's words.

"I'll admit all of that, but you're still not a good person." Teacher Mao spit out the last smoke ring as he spoke, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and crushed it with his foot, "I've heard that when you first met Xiao Ming, you suspected that something would happen to Big B, and then it was too late for you to rush over." ”

"That's true."

"You took them to Biggie's house with just one of Annie's crazy words, and you had the tools to pry the door in advance."

"Well, that's right."

"After you went, you really encountered a fierce ghost, and you mistakenly said the word 'waterhole' during the fight, which caused a great reaction from Chu Renmei. But at that time, we didn't have any clues about the waterhole. ”

"Yes, it wasn't clear to anyone at the time."

"But you know, it turns out you weren't a slip of the tongue." Teacher Mao's upper body leaned slightly towards Qi Zihuan, his voice was low but aggressive, and he said: "Later, you said that you were going to retreat and cross the ghosts, but you forgot to remind Xiao Ming not to drink the water over there. ”

Qi Zihuan finally understood the root of Mr. Mao's abnormal mood today, he reached out and asked for a cigarette, and he didn't light it skillfully.

"I haven't forgotten, I deliberately didn't remind him."

"Deliberately?"

"Yes, on purpose." Qi Zihuan simply said the plot of the movie that he had not experienced, but he knew, "I know that he and the old man named Li Qiang will definitely drink the water from the roadside stream on the way to find Chu Renmei's corpse." ”

"In other words, you already knew that Big B would die, Biggie would have an accident, and there was a problem with the water source. But you don't remind us, just wait for something to happen before you save it, and if you can't save it, forget it? ”

"Yes."

When Mr. Mao heard this affirmative answer, the muscles of his whole body suddenly tensed, the skin at the joints of his fists turned white due to exertion, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Qi Zihuan, as if he was about to pounce at any time.

At this point, Qi Zihuan no longer explained, smoking silently.

The two of them were at a stalemate, as if only a few minutes had passed, and another century had passed.

"Ugh." With a sigh, Mr. Mao's whole body relaxed, leaned against the wall in some despair, and felt a cigarette on it.

"You know, I've quit smoking a long time ago." Teacher Mao hung his head, as if talking to himself.

Qi Zihuan listened quietly.

"Cessy and I have known each other for six years. In the second year, she said she didn't like the way I smoked, so I quit. ”

"From the first time I saw her, I liked her and always did, even though she only regarded me as a friend."

"She's going to marry Jack next year, and Jack is a bit cheap, but she's actually good to Cissy. It's good that they're together. ”

"I quit smoking for almost five years, until last night, when I was lying in bed thinking about the whole incident that I had spelled out with Xiao Ming, I always felt that there was something I couldn't figure out. That's why I went downstairs and bought this pack of cigarettes. ”

"I thought about it all night, and finally found that this incomprehensible place is you."

"I don't know where you're from or what your purpose is. But what you have to do must be related to Chu Renmei, and it is also related to us. ”

"You are a person with real skills, and those wooden swords and towers that are like tricks can really catch ghosts. Although I blame you, I can't beat you, and if this thing wants to end, maybe it will be up to you in the end. ”

"I can't go with you to Blackwaterhole, I have to accompany Cissy, and although she seems to understand, she doesn't really know how dangerous Jack is right now."

"I'm guarding Cissy, and I can't persuade Xiao Ming, so I can only let Xiao Ming follow you to the danger."

"I don't know why you deliberately didn't remind Xiao Ming that he drank the pool water. But when I beg you, if it weren't for the annihilation of the army, please save Xiao Ming's life. ”

"Please let him live!"

Mr. Mao finished slowly, took a deep breath, then flicked the cigarette butt into the shadows and turned to leave.

Qi Zihuan was still standing in the shadows, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He feels like he's playing an RPG game right now, and suddenly an NPC pulls you to talk about life for a long time.

It's just a matter of talking about life, but this NPC is still the same as you, there is also a girl you like who is about to get married, and there are relatives and friends who need to worry about the safety, and it is so sad and melancholy.

This made him feel for the first time that the people in this world are also fresh and warm.

It's not a game.
