Afternoon.

That summer, it was a little too quiet. It's scary-quiet.

Cheng Yufei walked alone on the bridge in the sun. He looked down at his own shadow on the ground.

The feet are steaming in the summer and the sun is burning in the back. Next to the bridge, there is a lotus pond. In this noisy city, it seems that only this lotus pond is the only refreshing place.

The fish in the pond must be cool. But he wasn't stupid enough to jump. It's still hot on the bridge after all. For some reason, I suddenly remembered Zhuangzi and Huizi's popular article "Zi Fei Fish, Anzhi Fish's Joy is also".

He looked up, his gaze met the blinding skylight, and lowered his head again.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Cheng Yufei's mobile phone ringtone is the background music "Rain's Imprint", which was very popular in those years. Just listening to it can give a refreshing feeling. At that time, he even wanted to listen quietly for a while, not caring who was calling.

But he took it anyway. After all, it's not the same now as it was before. This phone was newly assigned to Salue, and no one except MISI would call him.

Really. It was his new partner He Huan who called.

"Yufei, where are you? Didn't I let you come over earlier? He Huan's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm sorry I don't want to go." He hesitated, but said it anyway.

He Huan on the other end of the phone was also a little anxious when he heard the voice.

"I know it's not good, but after all, it's a situation, so you might as well give it a trip. Find a taxi and hurry. ”

"Okay, I'll go over right away."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yufei stood on the bridge again and stayed silently for a while. After a long time, he turned around and ran down the bridge.

On the other side of the bridge is a bustling city. But on an afternoon like this, no matter how noisy the city is, it can't make a fuss. Except for a few boring tourists, there are basically no people. Cheng Yufei ran on the street against the big sun, passing by someone, and he could also create some coolness for him.

The agreed location was not very far from the bridge, but such a distance also caused Cheng Yufei to almost die of exhaustion. Not long ago, I was told that I had a family genetic disease and had been hospitalized for a while, but I didn't expect that now the motor nerves have begun to degenerate. Or maybe he didn't exercise much when he was still healthy, and now it's too late to regret it, and his physical condition doesn't allow him to do physical exercise.

After passing through the downtown area, this street is obviously not the same level as the previous street. It seems that the poor area is only one street away from the commercial area, but at night, you will see two completely different scenes - the downtown area is crowded with people, and shopping is endless; And here, as if it was a corner abandoned by God, there was nothing but a scene of withering and dilapidation as far as the eye could see. Cheng Yufei's pace gradually slowed down, his legs were a little weak, and he didn't want to continue running here.

This street is as famous as the commercial street in this city, and everyone calls it Black Street. Many beggars, vagrants, and street gangsters gather in this place without any contact with each other. It's just a group of losers, looking for the only sense of existence in the ruins.

Looking at the dilapidated buildings in the past, Cheng Yufei sighed.

Therefore, no matter how developed a city is, there will always be such poor people and such slums. Ironically, this slum is just across the street from the commercial district.

Like any good thing, there will always be a place like a black hole inside.

Finally.

He stood downstairs at his destination.

"Why are you here?" Upstairs, He Huan emerged from the house.

"I'm sorry, I came here." He gasped and looked up at He Huan upstairs.

"Didn't your uncle let you come in a car?" He Huan's expression instantly seemed like swallowing a fly, "Do you think your body is not bad enough?" I'm telling you that it's only a matter of time before you're paralyzed like this!! ”

"Alas, why are you like my father" Cheng Yufei shrugged helplessly, "While I'm okay now, I don't run any more, I'm afraid I'll be really paralyzed in the future, and I won't be able to run if I want to." ”

"Alas, it's okay, don't play poor, come up!" He Huan beckoned impatiently and motioned for him to come upstairs.

In Cheng Yufei's eyes, this building has a history of at least thirty years, right? Can this kind of dilapidated building really continue to be used? Frowning in disgust, he walked up the stairs step by step, the handrails were so dirty that they seemed to have been washed with lard, and the cobwebs in the corners of the walls were comparable to the central web. Going up to the second floor, the scene is even more dilapidated to a certain extent. The dimly lit room, with a small opening in the dirty curtains, let in a faint amount of sunlight. A bed on the ground, I don't know how many people have been lying down, and there are blood stains that have not been washed; There was a lingering fan hanging from the ceiling, and the blades had accumulated a thick layer of dust.

Can he say that he has grown so big, except for the days when he went in before, he has never been to this kind of place, this is really a long experience.

"Where's the doctor?" Seeing He Huan, he asked.

"It's ready inside." He Huan leaned against the wall, and he didn't care if the wall was dirty or not. Anyway, he's already dirty for some reason.

"Why don't you go to the hospital, but this kind of place?" Cheng Yufei looked around, came closer, and asked in a low voice.

"You don't understand, some hospitals don't care at all, and some hospitals do it, but they will give you a wipe at most, and you can't see it for the time being, and if you grow new meat in the future, you can see it again. After all, those in the hospital who don't dare to do too much action, they don't dare to take responsibility. Here I asked someone to find it, and most of them were made here, and the effect was very good, but it was very cruel, expensive, and it would leave scars. He Huan explained.

"Ahh

"In the back room. Check it out. ”

"Row"

followed He Huan to the inner room, which was not much different from the outside, the same dilapidated. But after all, it's a secret place, it's not easy to publicize, and there's no way to find someone to decorate.

A man in a white lab coat had his back to them. It is said to be a white coat, but in fact, it is no longer white. It's like it's never been washed, it's yellow and gray, like a demon doctor from a demon hospital, just a back is already terrifying. Cheng Yufei couldn't help but shudder.

You know, even when he was hospitalized before, he was in contact with handsome doctors and beautiful nurses all day long, and this kind of person really didn't want to say anything.

But after all, there are requests for others, and it is not good not to speak. He Huan saw that Cheng Yufei didn't seem to want to step forward to speak, so he came forward empathetically.

"Dr. Du, my friend is here."

The man who was called Dr. Du by He Huan turned around, and he was reasonably thin. The cheekbones on the face are very prominent, as if there is no flesh, just a layer of skin and bones, as if crawling out of hell, extremely terrifying.

Sure enough, although his physical strength is hopeless, his intelligence is still okay. He figured the guy was a drug addict. It seems that there should be no wrong. Otherwise, where would all the money go? The answer, of course, is that it's all in the hands of the drug lords.

He was a little uneasy about handing her over to him.

"Are you a family member of a patient?" The Skinny Doctor asked, pretending.

"Yes." He replied.

"Who is she? What is your name? ”

"I'm her brother, and my name is Cheng Yufei."

"The same pronunciation as Cheng Yufei?"

"Well, it's my parents who are naughty."

"Sign it here. Pay the deposit later. As he spoke, the skinny doctor brought a piece of paper and pointed to a place for Cheng Yufei to sign.

Cheng Yu flew and brushed two times to finish. He Huan hurriedly presented a pile of Grandpa Mao. The skinny doctor went to prepare.

After he left, Cheng Yufei saw her on the bed.

She lay there silently, as if she were silent, still.

Cheng Yufei couldn't help but hold his breath.

After a long time, he walked to the bed and sat down, and his hand involuntarily touched her forehead. The brow furrowed again.

"I have already brought MISI to let Uncle Zhou use brainwashing methods to wash away her memory. But "

He Huan paused for a moment and said: "But after all, there will be remnants of brainwashing methods, maybe if you are stimulated by something one day, you will remember everything before."

"It's okay, maybe I'll be gone by then." Cheng Yufei said very calmly, "Now, let's get her face right." ”

"Well, the method here is very brutal, but it works, I heard the doctor tell you to dig up the whole piece of meat in that place first, and then pick the tender meat from the rest of the body to make up for it. However, there will be scars. ”

"It's okay, it's good if you can't see it. Did you give him an anesthetic? Why don't you wake up? ”

"Uncle Zhou gave her anesthesia, I'm afraid it will take a while to wake up."

"That's fine, at least it won't hurt for a while."

"Well, let's go out first."

"Good"

Walking to the door, he glanced back at her.

"What's wrong?" He Huan asked.

"He Huan, I haven't known you for a long time, but you have helped me so much, I really don't know how to repay you"

"Well, what do you talk about?" He Huan patted him on the shoulder, "We've been good buddies since the day we were partners, help, it should be." Besides, I like this little ghost a lot, and I'm willing to help her. ”

Cheng Yufei sighed and said, "Then in another year or so, when my body really can't hold on, can you help me protect her?" ”

He Huan was stunned for two seconds, and shouted a little angrily, "What stupid things are you talking about, I don't believe you will hang up so quickly!"

"Even if I don't, I'm afraid I'll be paralyzed or something, isn't this the case, gradually losing my senses, losing the control of my body"

"So where is she going to stay for the time being?"

"I wanted to send her to college. Do you think it will be good? ”

"Well, then when you're okay, let's complete the mission together and secretly protect her. When you really come, I'll find a way to protect her myself. ”

"Thank you, He Huan"

"If you want to thank me, just live well." He Huan said.

"After all, I'm sure that even if you don't plan to appear in front of her again, the two of you will definitely meet again. It's fate. ”

Cheng Yufei was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he smiled.

"Hmm."
