In the empty house, Ye Dong sat silently, his hands clasped tightly together, his head bowed and he did not speak.

I poured a cup of hot water and placed it in front of him, and then said, "I understand why you want to run because you will die." Is it? ”

He hesitated, but didn't speak.

"I always thought that people who do your job should not be afraid of death, because after all, you are killers, and you should be ready to be killed by others when you take someone's life for the first time, but you still escaped, which surprised me a little."

I continued, but he remained silent.

Silent, he reached out and held the water glass, and after a long while, said, "How do you know I'm here?" ”

"Because the person who helped you smuggle the immigrants told us the news first. I agree to let him make you a million dollars, and then I'll get you. So. You think you ran away? ”

I said contemptuously.

"So what do you want to do? Kill me? ”

He clutched the glass tightly and finally asked the question.

"In my eyes, there is good and evil in any industry, there is no right or wrong in the sky, only good and evil, murder, robbery, and theft. The law sets people's lives and makes the world orderly, but those of us who walk outside the law and fight and kill every day have no rules that can bind us. A strong is a strong. The weak are the weak, and the weak eat the strong, as terrible as the forest. However, lions also have the majesty of lions, and lone wolves also have the integrity of lone wolves, and I think that even killers should know what to kill and what not to kill. What to do and what not to do. You entered the industry at the age of ten, the first person you killed at the age of thirteen, you have been in this circle for twelve years when you were twenty-five, you joined the knife at the age of thirty, and now you are in your forties. In the prime of life, many people say that you will definitely enter the upper echelons of the killer organization in the future. I thought that such a person should be as majestic as a lone wolf or a lion, but alas, you didn't. This, I am disappointed. "Kneel and beg for a hundred blacks! Cliff! Your Excellency

I whispered.

"I just want to live, what's wrong? What does the life and death of others have to do with me? ”

He lowered his head and suddenly shouted.

Looking at him, I was stunned for a moment, as if I saw myself all along.

What does heaven have to do with me? I just want to live, I kill people to live, I work hard to live, and the world says they don't like me. Is it because they see in me the way of life that they least dream of, or even the most disgusting, like maggots, like old age? Generally reluctantly.

In my heart, there is no great righteousness, and in my opinion, if a person dies, then what is the great righteousness? You die today for the sake of righteousness, but the evil will not end, only by living, only by living, constantly getting stronger, and constantly surviving, can you hope to become the overlord one day.

If you want to live, what's wrong with this sentence?

I seem to see the former me, he lived for forty years, I only count this life, I lived for twenty years, although I am still eighteen years old, except for the past hundred years in the wooden coffin, I finally understand some textbooks, teachers, adults keep saying to us.

Man cannot live for himself!

When I was a child, I didn't understand why Chinese liked to use the word qi, or why anyone would be willing to sacrifice for others.

Many people say a lot of truths in their mouths, but how many people can really do it when it comes to themselves?

There are countless people who have lived for most of their lives and listened to countless truths, but they are still confused.

"Ye Dong, you're right."

I spoke.

He was stunned, looked up at me in surprise, I thought for a moment and said, "What you said is right, we should all live for ourselves, but if we can save more people, then what is it to sacrifice this life?" There is no shame in living for one's own sake, but it is glorious to die for the sake of someone else's life. In this life, people will eventually die, but if they die with this glory, they will have no regrets. You're a killer, I'm an executioner, we've got blood on our hands, we're all sinners, we've spent decades killing people to live for ourselves, and now, even if we have the slightest chance, we can bring glory to our lives, I think it's worth it. You tell me? ”

Ye Dong looked at me and didn't speak for a long time.

"You have a night to think, I was going to die to force you to tell the truth, but now I don't want to do that, you can live whether you say it or not. I'm not going to kill you, and now, the power to say is in your hands. ”

I walked out of the house, stood in the night sky, looked up at the snow, and whispered: "When we have finished our lives and reached the end of our lives, we suddenly found that we were all wrong in this life, and maybe it will be even more sad." ”

This night, Ye Dong never went out, I waited in the car outside the door for a night, early in the morning and dawn, when the sun shone on the earth, the door was opened, Ye Dong walked out of it, dragging his tired body, and a pale face, I rolled the window to look at him, he came over and said, "I'll tell you." ”

Old Shenyang City, near the central temple, a place was cleared, the soil was dug up, I stood behind the isolation belt, and heard the little embarrassment next to me say: "The poisonous yarn is indeed difficult to deal with, fortunately it was discovered in time, if it is broken, the poisonous sand inside will be blown away by the wind, as long as a grain may kill people, and the toxin components are not known, it is quite difficult to deal with." ”

I nodded, looked back at Ye Dong in the car behind him, he told me the contents of the envelope, the first thing buried by Mao Shun in Shenyang is the poisonous sand, this poisonous sand jar is surrounded by a magic circle, when the time comes, the jar will automatically break, and then the magic circle will be activated, and the wind will drill the ground, and the poisonous sand will be filled in the old Shenyang city, and the number of deaths will rise sharply, we have indeed avoided a disaster.

"Take it out!"

Fang Maozi shouted, several life masters carefully lifted a jar, about fifty centimeters high, cylindrical, I walked over, let them put the jar back and quickly retreated, the magic fire ignited, lit on the jar, the flame burned on the surface of the jar, and soon the formation was destroyed, the poisonous sand leaked out of it, and was burned by the demon fire.

"Now, we won the first round!"

I smiled.

Ye Dong's car started and drove away, while I waited for Mao Shun's call.

At night, Ye Dong returned to his residence, the empty home enshrined the portrait of his dead old father, he walked over, knelt in front of the portrait, and said softly: "Dad, I held your portrait to the sky back then, and all I remember is what you said, be an upright person." Your son, you couldn't be a killer back then. Now, I finally have a chance to turn over, Dad, I should be right this time! ”

He knocked his head three times in a row, but finally put his forehead on the ground and began to cry.

A figure fell lightly behind him, Ye Dong seemed to sense something, turned his head suddenly, and saw a hand turn into a white light, and then what he saw in his eyes was only a piece of blood light.

The head rolled off the ground, blood staining the ground red.

I was woken up in the early hours of the morning, and when I rushed to Ye Dong's house, there were already many people standing in the house, I walked through the crowd and saw him fall to the ground, his head was gone, I turned around and shouted: "Where is the head!" ”

Someone came up with his head on his face, but there was still a smile on his face.

I know that he must have been prepared for this scene, because when he told me the secret, it meant that he would die in the hands of Mao Shun, in fact, I wanted to send someone to protect him, but Mao Shun wanted to kill him, I couldn't stop it, obviously there were guards at the door, and cameras were installed around the corridor of the house, but nothing was captured.

He was still killed by Mao Shun, and on the first day of his return, it seemed that the moment he walked out of the house to tell me the secret in the envelope, such an end seemed to be doomed.

"Come and see."

Xun Che lowered his head and said.

I followed the head and walked over, and saw the words written in blood on the wall of the bedroom: The second piece, hidden in the body of mortals, activated, ten thousand people killed!
