Chapter 8: The Walking Demon 1
I sat in the store with a letter my dad had written to me before, but I didn't dare read them now, I was afraid that I would cry as soon as I opened them.
When I was in college, my dad always wrote to me, he didn't know how to use WeChat, and he didn't send text messages, he said that texting things always felt too casual, and it was better to write letters, and I later retained his excellent tradition, sending blessings to good friends, all in the way of writing letters.
When I was a sophomore, my parents drove me to school, and the two of them bought me all my daily necessities and bought me several new clothes. Before they went home, my father kept saying to me repeatedly, Tian Xin, you have grown up, you must learn to take care of yourself.
My ears were calloused, and I thought to myself that my father had always cherished words like gold, how could he suddenly become so inky. What I never expected was that my parents' departure turned out to be a farewell. They were in a car accident on the way back and both died.
It took me almost a year to digest my grief, and to this day I can't figure out how my dad could have been in a car accident when he drove so steadily. My aunt later told me that my parents had left me an inheritance, but they would not tell me until I was 35 years old, and she would not tell me how much it was.
The day after I cured Zhang Tong, before leaving his house, Zhang Tong tilted his little head and asked me innocently, "Uncle Tian, can I see my father again in the future?" ”
I instantly remembered the smiling face of my father, whom I once knew all too well, and sighed softly, "No, we will never again." ”
As soon as I put away the letter in front of me, I received a call from Shao Shuai, who said anxiously on the other end: "I said buddy, are you busy, I'm waiting for you here, for the sake of our old classmates, you can come and do me a favor, ah, besides, 20,000 yuan, this bonus is the highest in the history of our institute, if you want me to say, don't hesitate." ”
I patiently listened to him finish the, and then said, "Okay, I'll go!" ”
Shao Shuai's institute is located in our city center, surrounded by all kinds of magnificent buildings, and there is a subway less than 50 meters away, so the transportation is very convenient. Students who graduated from our school will never be able to come here without a strong background.
Shao Shuai received me very politely, I asked him about the patient's situation, Shao Shuai smiled: "You know that I am a person, the worst thing is expression, I can only tell you that his name is Wen Bing, now that others are in our institute, you can simply find out for yourself." ”
I asked again: "There are so many of you masters, and any one of you is a super expert in this field, how can it be my turn to be a nobody?" ”
Shao Shuai said with a bitter face: "Brother, you don't know, this Wen Bing hasn't said a word since he entered our research institute, and his parents don't want to reveal more, in this way, brother, I promise you, as long as you can make him say a word, I will immediately give you 10,000 yuan." ”
I smiled and said, "Let's go over and see what is going on." ”
The people of the research institute locked Wen Bing in a room alone, and the furnishings in the room were very simple, only one table and two chairs, and Wen Bing sat on one of the chairs.
I didn't go into the room, I saw everything in the room through the transparent glass door, I noticed that Wen Bing's hands were tied to the chair, and I asked Shao Shuai why he did this. Shao Shuai said with an exaggerated expression: "You don't know, this person has serious violent tendencies, which is very scary." ”
I said that a lot of people have potentially violent tendencies, and you can't tie people up because of that. Shao Shuai smiled and said: "I really can't hide anything from you, let's put it this way, he sometimes can't control his emotions well." ”
When Shao Shuai said this, he inadvertently touched his nose, and I knew that he didn't tell me the truth, and the situation of Wen Bing in the room must be more serious than what he said, but as Shao Shuai said, I have to go in and find out the specific situation myself.
I opened the door softly and walked in, sitting across from Wen Bing. From the time I entered the room to the time I sat on the chair, Wen Bing didn't raise his head during the whole process, as if he didn't care about who came to see him.
Wen Bing looks like he is in his early 20s, not a few years younger than me, very handsome, but there is a faint evil aura between his eyebrows, giving people an uncomfortable sense of oppression.
I sat quietly across from him, he didn't raise his head or speak, I didn't speak, this seemingly inconsequential move was actually an ingenious psychological game, whoever persevered to the end would take the initiative.
Shao Shuai kept staring at me outside the door, and after seeing me enter, he didn't say a word for a long time, and was a little anxious, so he sent me a WeChat message and asked me what I was doing?
I thought to myself that a scumbag like him would not understand the meaning of my doing, and I didn't bother to explain it to him, so I only replied with one word: "Wait!" ”
Shao Shuai didn't reply to my message, but he paced back and forth outside the door, looking anxious enough.
And I still didn't say a word. Wen Bing and I were like two Buddha statues, sitting opposite each other for nearly half an hour, he finally raised his head and looked at me with some curiosity, while I was still sitting, my eyes swept away, and I didn't say a word, so after about ten minutes, Wen Bing finally couldn't hold his breath and asked me, "Who are you?" ”
I pretended to look at him casually, and said softly: "You really stopped me from asking this question, I have lived for more than 20 years, and I haven't figured out who this question is." ”
At this, I shook my head in a pretended deep voice, and continued, "Who am I?" This question is too difficult to answer. ”
At this time, I received another WeChat, I secretly opened it to see that it was sent by Shao Shuai: "Brother, you are really a god, I will transfer 10,000 yuan to you now." ”
After reading this message, I quickly put my phone on silent and put it in my pocket.
Wen Bing asked me again, "Then what are you doing here?" ”
I smiled and said, "You've already asked me a question, so for the sake of fairness, let me ask you a question first, it's not too much to ask." ”
Wen Bing said, "But you didn't answer my question. ”
I explained: "I answered, but I didn't have enough ability, I didn't answer clearly, and if I didn't answer, it was a matter of attitude, and if I couldn't answer, it was a matter of ability." ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Wen Bing's gloomy eyes, and I immediately snickered with joy, and I won the first round of the game. Wen Bing said expressionlessly: "You ask." ”
I said, "Why are you sitting here?" ”
The corners of Wen Bing's mouth rose slightly, and he sneered: "That's because they don't know me, if they know me, they will kill me directly." ”
He said it lightly, with a look of disdain, but the words were harsh.
I was a little surprised when I heard what he said, but I tried not to surprise myself, and I said, "It's the first time I've heard this about myself, thank you for making me insightful." ”
Wen Bing still said expressionlessly: "You're welcome, I'm just telling the truth." ”
I continued to ask him, "Then explain to me why they would kill you if they knew about you?" ”
Wen Bing smiled very indistinctly and said, "This is the second question. ”
I waved my hand and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend the rules." ”
Wen Bing said: "You are very interesting, I like you. ”
I smiled and said, "Thanks for the reputation, you flattered me a little, ask the second question." ”
Wen Bing asked, "Do you have faith?" ”
I laughed and said, "I believe in communism." ”
Wen Bing snorted coldly: "Childish." ”
I immediately asked him, "What do you believe?" ”
Wen Bing said: "I believe in all evil things. ”
When Wen Bing said this, his eyes were extremely firm, without a trace of cynicism, which surprised me a little, so I said: "In order to hide my emptiness and confusion, the pretend temperament of rebellion for the sake of rebellion, I think this is a very childish handsome behavior, young people just like to use this way to flaunt their differences." ”
Wen Bing snorted coldly: "You'd better not teach me self-righteousness, you think you know everything, but in fact, you don't know anything, and you don't know me." ”
I hurriedly said, "Then you can let me get to know you well." ”
Wen Bing only said: "I'm tired." ”
Then he lowered his head again. I had already gained the upper hand, but I was so discouraged that I knew it would be useless to ask anything more, so I left the room.
When Shao Shuai saw me come out, he immediately greeted me and kept stretching out his thumb to me, saying, "Old classmate, you are too good, I know that you must do it." ”
I said to Shao Shuai: "Let him go, he is just a spoiled gentleman, nothing." ”
Shao Shuai immediately withdrew his smile, I didn't say anything more, and left the research institute directly.
Early the next morning, I received a call from Shao Shuai again, and he looked very anxious on the phone: "Tian Xin, come quickly, Wen Bing has an accident?" ”
I was startled, and immediately bounced out of bed and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Shao Shuai said: "He injured Aunt Zhao, who brought him food this morning, and the injury was very serious, and her head was opened......
