Chapter 58: The Truth Behind the Mirror IV
"What's wrong? Why don't you speak? Chen Jiatong noticed the change in Zhang Chengyuan's face.
"I don't know what to say. I'm about to break down, I don't know what to do, I want to find someone to share my troubles, but the only person I trust, who I can confide in, is you! ”
"What's wrong with you?"
"A matter of faith."
"What happened to faith?"
"What do you believe?"
"I don't believe anything."
"I'm not talking about religion, I'm talking about the meaning of your life, the purpose of your life."
"......" Chen Jiatong was silent.
"It's okay, I know you want to go to the Pure Land, and before that, I always wanted to ......"
"I didn't, I didn't want to ......"
"Everyone fantasizes about going to the Pure Land, don't you think so?"
"If I have to say the meaning of my life, it is to let the people who love me and the people I love live well." When Chen Jiatong said this, his tone was very affirmative.
"So, if that's the case, why did you come to the Voyage School? Is it for your family to go to the Pure Land? ”
"No, Cheng Yuan. Don't think about the Pure Land anymore, you won't go, I won't go back, we won't go there. I came here to study because it would help my stepfather. ”
"Stepfather?"
"As I told you, I don't have a dad. My stepdad was good to me and good to my mom. So I'm good to him too. ”
"But why did you come here to study to help your stepfather?"
"This ...... It's too complicated to tell you clearly for a while. Tell me your specific problem. ”
"But what if, if your family's dreams and family members' behaviors are contrary to the general interests of the country and the general intentions of the nation?"
"What is the national righteousness?"
Zhang Chengyuan swallowed his saliva, didn't continue, and said: "It's like I asked you, who is the person you care about the most?" ”
"My mother, my stepfather ......," Chen Jiatong muttered, "and you now!" ”
"Then if you have to kill one of the three of us, who do you kill?"
"This assumption is not true!"
"There are a lot of things in life that you thought were impossible, and I'm in this state like I'm in that state."
Chen Jiatong frowned: "What you said is too abstract. However, if your situation is really like this, there is nothing I can do about it. But I can't imagine your specific predicament. ”
Zhang Chengyuan took a deep breath and said, "Jiatong, the specific situation is that my mother and Principal Yu are on opposite sides. ”
Chen Jiatong frowned: "What does this mean?" ”
"My mother was arrested by Principal Yu, she, she was one of the defectors."
Chen Jiatong chuckled in his heart: "This ...... How could it be...... You, you shouldn't have told me this. ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded: "I know it's useless to tell you this kind of thing, but I do want to find someone to talk to." Zhang Chengyuan said, opening his arms and hugging Chen Jiatong.
Chen Jiatong leaned over cooperatively, but there was a melancholy look in her eyes.
"Actually, I've heard people say that when you hesitate about something and choose to ask someone for advice, you will subconsciously make a judgment before you hear the answer. In fact, maybe your subconscious mind has also chosen a good direction for you. Chen Jiatong said leisurely.
"No, I still don't have any ideas myself."
"You came up from the ground, this must be against Principal Yu's orders, I think, this may be your subconscious."
"I don't know...... My mom...... My mom can't be a bad person, she's a teacher of electrical automation...... She, she's very kind. ”
Chen Jiatong suddenly interrupted him: "Don't talk about this yet, I suddenly remembered a question, how did you come out?" ”
"I, I...... In layman's terms, I have the ability to cool down. The last time we escaped from those two mysterious men together, it was also because of the dangerous environment that stimulated my abilities. But now I can control it spontaneously. ”
"Then, what about you, then what are you going to do when you go back?"
"The old way."
"I don't think so."
"Why not?"
"You're going to take the elevator down, right? When the time is cold, you can open the door of the dormitory and the cafeteria in an instant, but when the time cools down, the door of the elevator will not open. When the elevator doors open, the security guards will definitely find you. ”
"You're right...... I forgot to think about this! ”
"Then I'll help you cover, I'll help you get out of the security."
"That's not good, you'll be punished if you go in again."
"I'm not that stupid, I won't go in, I'll lead him to the door and talk to me, you take the opportunity to go in and take the elevator. I try to keep it as long as I can. ”
"But? Will it be difficult for us to see each other again after that? ”
"It's not for the two of us to decide, but if you come out on this trip, you'll be miserable."
Zhang Chengyuan nodded, and finally hugged Chen Jiatong.
…………
With Chen Jiatong's cooperation, Zhang Chengyuan returned to the basement smoothly, and he dragged his tired body after cooling down twice in a day, propped himself up to his bedroom, and fell asleep on his bed.
"Zhang Chengyuan."
In the haze, a voice called his name.
"Who? Who's talking? ”
"Plan Sprout and your mother, you can only choose one, which side do you choose?" The voice was ethereal, coming from all directions.
"I, I can't figure out ......"
"What do you want to figure out?"
"Right and wrong, right and wrong."
"Right or wrong? Hehe, these are not for us in the authorities to judge. You can only choose one, which one do you choose? ”
"My mother is definitely not a bad person, she, she must have her reasons for doing that, but the sprout plan ......"
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense! I only ask you about the conclusion in your mind. ”
"My mom ......, I believe her."
"Well, you kid still have a little conscience."
"You, who are you?"
"I'll tell you when I have a chance later, you're tired tonight, go back to sleep."
…………
The next day, Zhang Chengyuan easily stayed up until the evening, and after waiting for Principal Yu to inspect everyone's training for the last time, he was the first to leave the training room and ran all the way to the bathroom on the fifth floor of the basement. Pushed open the double-sided mirror and got in, pulled it back on, and quickly walked through the passage to the iron door.
Mr. Kang!
Through the iron gate, Zhang Chengyuan was surprised to find that Mr. Kang was interrogating his mother.
Worried, sad, aggrieved, a variety of complicated feelings surged up for a while, Zhang Chengyuan turned sideways, stood by the iron door, and listened to the conversation inside.
"I believe that what you want to know, Yu Tao has already obtained it through his despicable hypnotic methods? What's the point of you interrogating me now? Wang Xiaoyu asked neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Tired, tired, I'm not interrogating, I'm just curious, you, why did you hit the muzzle of the gun, why were you caught by Yu Tao?"
"It's all the fault of some personal vendettas."
"You, do you have any personal grudges?"
"Sir, you're too curious, aren't you? That's not a good thing. ”
"Hehe, you, if you don't say it, I also guessed a rough idea, so I did it under your brother back then."
"You still have the face to say that you have been with my brother?"
"I, I don't owe him anything, what, why can't I mention it?"
"My brother was killed by Yu Tao, do you know?"
"Oh, your brother is no longer here, why are you mentioning him, but how did Yu Tao catch you, I'm more curious."
"Kang Chao." The hostility in Wang Shu's tone seemed to have dissipated a lot, "Why are you bothering me?" ”
"Xiaoyu, no, it's not that I'm hard for you, now I'm responsible for watching you, and I'm also very blue."
"Then for my brother's sake of being good to you back then, you let me go!"
"Xiaoyu, you, don't be blue for me. You know, this, this is incredible! Why do you think you are so willful, what kind of defector did you join? Now that I've been arrested, what can I do? ”
"It's not that Yu Tao is despicable!"
"He, what the hell did he do, how did he catch you?"
"I lost a daughter, you know?"
