Chapter 82: Zhang Peng's Story

A person's life is a protracted battle with desire, many people have never won even a game, and some people have always been victorious, but after losing only once, there is no chance to turn over.

This sentence should be most suitable for Zhang Peng, at this time he was lying on the ground dying, and he told Han Chao and Pan everything.

Zhang Peng is a single-parent family, his mother died when he was ten years old, and his father continued the way of survival of his ancestors for generations - farming, relying on the family's two acres of land to support Zhang Peng to go to university.

As the old saying goes: God closes a door for you, but He also opens a window for you. Although the disaster of childhood brought Zhang Peng growing pains and the lack of maternal love, it allowed him to experience the suffering of the world and the sorrow of life early, and the silent character created by his family background made him think and learn more deeply, yes, he is very smart.

Intelligence and experience made Zhang Peng very precocious, and when he entered junior high school, he had already begun to read a large number of Chinese and foreign classics and had his own views on the world. Every time he went home and followed his father in the fields, exposed to the wind and sun, he had a deeper understanding of the hardships of survival and the pain of poverty.

Some people can become psychologically twisted or cunning in the face of disaster and poverty, while the same environment has the potential to breed perseverance and heroes.

At that time, Zhang Peng belonged to the latter.

He never hated his origins, never hated his natural poverty, he was well-read, he drew inferences, and at the same time he was positive and optimistic, full of justice. At that time, he had the feelings of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he had a heroic life, he believed that he could rely on his strength and wisdom to change the poverty of his family, change the injustice of the world, and help the poor.

And his luck seems to be especially good, many elders and teachers are very fond of him as a smart and studious little guy, and his natural empathy and compassion from his family experience make him quite popular with his friends. Everything is so smooth and natural, Zhang Peng's knowledge is getting richer and stronger, his physique is getting stronger and stronger, and he often feels the enthusiasm surging in his chest, which is an irrepressible love for the world, for the poor, and for everything.

However, he was too young to know all the gifts given by fate, and he had already secretly marked the price.

The disaster came in the first semester of his senior year of high school. It was an ordinary afternoon, no different from usual, the summer sun shone on the rooftop outside the classroom, the cicadas chirped, and he vividly remembered the math teacher writing a problem on the blackboard.

It was at this time that his good buddy in the back row suddenly handed over his mobile phone, "Zhang Peng, it seems to be your father's phone, looking for you." ”

Yes, he doesn't have the money to buy a mobile phone, and even if he does, he should be reluctant to spend money on a phone card, so his occasional contact with home is through the mobile phone of a classmate in the back.

Zhang Peng said this, his eyes showed the pain of memory, and he coughed violently, although Han Chao had been holding Zhang Peng's hand and didn't dare to let go, he still endured the sharp pain in his other arm and put it on Zhang Peng's shoulder.

Zhang Peng connected the phone, it was his father's number, but it was not his father's voice on the other end of the phone, it was his uncle's.

"Peng Peng, ......", the uncle's voice was a little low, "Come back, your father...... Your dad is going to die."

Zhang Peng felt that the world was booming, and he suspected for a few seconds that he was in a dream, after all, he had had too many vivid dreams, but unfortunately, reality would never be a joke.

Zhang Peng took leave to return home in the afternoon, and his father was already living in the high-risk ward of the county hospital, and many years of excessive physical labor made his father, who was less than forty, look very old, and the cause was found to be kidney failure.

He walked into the ward, and his father smiled and touched his head, telling him not to worry, he was in good health, and he could go home after two days of infusion. He just cried and cried and said, "Dad, I'll definitely cure you." ”

After leaving the ward, he asked the doctor, his father's illness should be hopeful, he is willing to do anything, the doctor just sighed, shook his head, this is not an incurable disease, but it requires a lot of money, the doctor's heart is also painful, but how to let himself open his mouth to tell the young man in front of him that he has no bargaining chips to help his father continue his life.

Zhang Peng is not stupid, he collected all kinds of information, understood what kidney failure is, knows that dialysis can be relieved, kidney replacement can continue life, but it costs a lot of money, he said to the doctor, you don't have to worry, I will definitely find a way to raise money, please don't give up on my father.

Zhang Peng began to visit his relatives, there were poor relatives and rich relatives, but they all closed the door to him without exception, he went to find friends and classmates, but how much savings can high school students have? He went to the village committee to find the old village chief, and the old village chief accompanied him to visit several large households in the village with a dry tobacco bag, but there was almost no response, and finally he took 5,000 yuan from his own home and gave it to him. He went to the hospital, went to kneel for the director and the doctor, and in exchange for a sigh of powerlessness.

Zhang Peng tossed for two months, his father died, and many relatives attended the end, he had a cold face, he didn't talk to them, he looked at them crying at his father's grave, and felt sick and disgusted.

He thought about how respectful and friendly he had been to them, and because of his good grades, he always taught their children selflessly, but in times of crisis, there was almost no help, they were all the people he had sworn to protect and help, he could be strong to meet all the poisonous arrows that fate had set up, but he could not bear the man-made disasters and despair of the day after tomorrow, and could not endure the indifference and cruelty of his compatriots.

"There is no cure in this world, they regard their own kind as a mustard, human nature is ugly, I don't want to be like them, I want to break free from this filthy shackles, I don't want to sympathize with them, they deserve to bear the curse of fate. Zhang Peng wrote in his diary at the time.

Later, Zhang Peng was admitted to the university, at that time he had completely changed, became silent, his eyes flashed with a lifeless light, he hated himself, and he hated others, he longed for power, money, power, not for others, for himself, but occasionally before falling asleep, he would still appear a vague shadow of himself, the shadow that firmly believed in his own power, full of justice, and tried to change the world......

Then, in his sophomore year, he met a man in black.

"The man in black?", Han Chao couldn't help but repeat when he heard this.

"Yes", Zhang Peng nodded with a wry smile.

The man in black walked up to Zhang Peng and said: From your eyes, I see endless hatred, and it just so happens that I have a way to turn it into power. Would you like to come with me?

Zhang Peng said I do, and then the man in black put his hand on his shoulder, and he felt a surging force enter his body, and then fainted. When he woke up, in a dark room, the man in black sat on the edge of the bed and said to him, "Welcome to the dark room."

In this way, Zhang Peng became a peculiar, and he was a peculiar of both the wind and water systems, and he was a genius. The man in black who brought him told him that his name would be called Wind Evil in the future, number 10, and then he took him to his master.

"Master?", Han Chao's eyes widened.

"Yes", Zhang Peng said weakly, "I myself refused this title at first, they told me that the master is the creator of this world, I don't believe it at all, and then one day, the man in black took me to meet the master." ”

Zhang Peng said that he first took a plane to an isolated island in the Atlantic, and then lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was outside a room with a curtain in the middle of the room, and there was a faint figure inside.

There were many people kneeling around him like Zhang Peng, and then the figure inside just sighed, and the person next to him disappeared.

"Disappeared?", Han Chao said in surprise again.

"It shouldn't be accurate to say that it disappeared, it should have been blown up, but because it was so broken, it was like disappearing. Zhang Peng was stupid at the time, and then the man in black told him that he was a traitor, and he had wanted to execute him a long time ago, the master's power is infinite, and his special ability is also granted by the master, follow the master, there is hope to break through the limit of lifespan, follow the master, and be able to do whatever you want in this world.

Zhang Peng's heart was moved, he fell, like many prostrate people, let go of his body and let the so-called master add three seals to his body. After adding it, the man in black said to him that each time this seal is unlocked, he can gain more powerful power, but it hurts his body, and he can't use it until he is in danger, so he can use it to unlock the first layer of seals at most.

Since then, Zhang Peng has become part of the Dead Men Project of the Dark Hall, and is the senior with the number 10, and the man in black who brought him is the hall master of the Dead Hall. After becoming a person in the dark hall, Zhang Peng became arrogant and domineering, he suddenly found that the human body could have such magical powers, and there were so many people who actually lived like a piece of walking meat, becoming more and more proud and forced to look at others.

He also began to carry out missions for the Dark Hall, began to assassinate different objects, his hands began to get blood on him, and he began to get used to it, and every time the task was completed, the master would give him a reward of strength. This life stopped in his senior year, and that year he received a new mission, one that was not a simple and crude use of special powers, but required him to be admitted to the School of Archaeology, to hibernate with a professor named Wang Guojun, to find out his problems and the details of all the people involved in the Atlantic operation who were implicated in him.

In order to disguise his identity, Zhang Peng returned to the life of an ordinary person, he restrained his special abilities and mingled with his roommates and classmates. Sometimes, he even likes this feeling, and some extremely old memories will always appear vaguely in his mind, but he never forgets that he is a lurker, until he meets Mengyun.

After so many years and so many experiences, he always thought that his heart was like a rock, but when he saw this girl, he was completely fallen.

Mengyun is not a pretty girl, she wears a simple long dress every day, holds some strange books, and has big curious eyes for everything. But Zhang Peng fell in love with her, someone asked him, what do you like about her, Zhang Peng was silent for a while, and said to that person: She let me see what I used to be.

Yes, Mengyun is not only not beautiful, she is also a silly girl, she smiles at everything, she is full of curiosity and enthusiasm for everything, she never tries to be vain in her excitement and depravity, and never accepts the compromises and concessions of human nature. She lives like the thick, round lenses she wears, through which she can see the whole world, but keeps a safe distance from the world.

Zhang Peng knew that he had fallen incorrigibly in love with this girl, he was even surprised how strong his feelings were, and he persuaded himself that pursuing Mengyun was also one of the perfect plans to disguise his identity, so he devoted himself to the pursuit of Mengyun.

Later, when he succeeded, he was full of joy, and even began to plan to take Mengyun to join the Dark Hall together, Professor Wang Guojun mysteriously disappeared, and he devoted himself to tracking down Han Chao, and it was also at that time that he received instructions from the Dark Hall.

Darkhall believes that his negligence in work is related to falling in love, and Darkhall thinks that his love has been faked, and tells him that if he can't better complete the next plan, he will directly get rid of Mengyun and will also get rid of him.

At this time, Zhang Peng realized that he was not joining an organization that could only give himself strength, but also a cruel and ruthless organization.

Zhang Peng, who received the instruction, worked even harder, and he was willing to sacrifice everything for Mengyun. But when he had just unlocked the second seal, he felt that something was wrong, and he felt that there was a tyrannical mood after the second seal was opened, and then he recalled that since he accepted the seal, he began to be disturbed by a strange thing every time he had warm thoughts. And his thirst for power became more intense, and his emotions became more irritable and hysterical, which could only be calmed down a little when he thought of Mengyun......

It wasn't until Zhang Peng unlocked the third seal that he discovered that there was actually something that tried to directly occupy his body, and the clever Zhang Peng guessed that the so-called three seals were just to use them as puppets, and the three seals added to the body would slowly affect their thinking and actions, and slowly become a complete tool dedicated to the pursuit of so-called power.

After Zhang Peng said this, he was already dying, blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, and the wound on his neck that was bitten by Xiaohua also turned black.

Han Chao became very unbearable for a while, "Peng, how should I save you?"

"Ahem...... Scold...... Don't waste your efforts Han Chao", Zhang Peng gasped, "I know my body, the internal organs are all broken, cough ......", Zhang Peng spit out a few mouthfuls of fragments of internal organs.

"Over the years, I'm sorry for you, and I'm also involuntarily, I hope ...... I hope you will forgive me...... Same...... At the same time, I don't want you to continue to obsess over the search for the Dark Order...... They are far more powerful than you can ......," Zhang Peng began to speak intermittently.

"Please tell me, because of the disappearance of the teacher, I can't give up. ”

"Good...... All right...... Men in Black's names...... It's called Black Rock...... He has been in contact with me through a single line. Other than that...... Operation Atlantic is an operation initiated by China, this ...... This action made the Dark Hall take it very seriously......"

Although Zhang Peng was already struggling to speak, he was still planning to tell Han Chao some information he knew.
