In Li Yun's impression, Bai Wuchang has always been a soft white light, the light is bright and flickering, but it is always within the scope of the human eye, and it will not be particularly dazzling or dim. The same is true of Bai Impermanence's heart, there are always small ups and downs, not as cold and hard as iron like Black Impermanence. The two are just the opposite, one is cold and the outside and soft on the inside, and the other is wanton on the outside, showing emotions like a sharp blade, but the heart is deep.

At this moment, Li Yun felt that Bai Wuchang's heart had scabbed, and there was an extra layer of hard shell.

He didn't know if it was good or bad. Because even he himself has undergone unknowable changes in this short period of time.

The smell of formalin, the smell of disinfectant water, and the smell of burning paper money seemed to converge on him, making him smell very strange.

Compared with the uncertain transformation of Li Yun and Bai Wuchang, Lin Youde's blow is obvious.

The doctors and nurses in the respiratory department noticed Lin Youde's abnormality. Lin Youde is like Yu Xingxing's closest relative, and his painful reaction is shocking, and it also makes Yu Xingxing's attending doctor tremble. It's going to die again, and they can't hold it anymore.

Fortunately, Lin Youde is in good health.

He was just overhit and not in good spirits.

The doctors and nurses also know Lin Youde's identity, and they have already made a "conclusion" about his mental condition, and they don't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be more nervous at this time.

"Why...... What did they do? To do this to them? Lin Youde seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be asking the people around him.

He obviously participated in this investigation to save people, but he watched two ordinary people die in front of him.

Although he guessed that something was wrong when he was in black and white impermanence and Li Yun stopped him. But Li Zhi judged this way, but emotionally it was unacceptable for a while. The fog that shrouded the case did not become black and white because of the appearance of black and white impermanence, which people could see through at a glance. Lin Youde felt more pressure because of Yu Xingxing's strange death and Yu Xingxing's nephew who suddenly appeared. The suspicious clouds of the case have turned into heavy dark clouds, which hang above his head with the momentum of Mount Tai.

The doctors and nurses didn't know what to say. The onlookers and their families were full of emotion because of Lin Youde's question, and some well-wishers stepped forward to comfort and explain.

Lin Youde couldn't listen to these words. His questions are not for himself, nor for these ordinary people.

Bai Wuchang replied unintentionally.

Li Yun pondered his words and did not speak for a while.

Hei Wuchang snorted coldly, "Killing people pays for their lives, it's just right." How many years have you been saying this, what is there to ask? ”

Lin Youde looked blankly at the black impermanence.

Li Yun had no choice but to follow Hei Wuchang's words and explain to Lin Youde: "They have a certain ability. You can think of it as a superpower. It's the stories they made up and the words they came out. ”

Lin Youde turned his head and looked at Li Yun's eyes widening a little.

His brain was sluggish enough to comprehend what Li Yun meant.

The direction he was looking at, and one of the patients who kindly comforted him was furious by the look in his eyes, "Young man, you, don't think so much." There is a definite number of life and death. No one could have imagined. The doctor can't help it. ”

Life and death are certain.

Is such an ability also a certainty?

"They, don't know anything? They don't know anything......" Lin Youde said, originally wanted to ask Li Yun for verification, but after saying that, recalling Yu Xingxing's demeanor when he answered his question, he had the answer himself.

The joy of Yu Xingxing's speech was not out of malice. Lin Youde still has the ability to observe words and colors. He could tell that Yu Xingxing was simply making up stories and talking about them, not the psychopathic murderer.

In this way, things are clear and straightforward.

"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me."

Such things are not uncommon, and there is a special crime of negligence causing death in the criminal law.

But judging by the criminal law, how can there be an equity between telling ghost stories and killing people? What kind of "negligence" is this? What happened to Yu Xingxing is a real disaster. If he confessed to telling Yu Xingxing that the ghost stories he told would create real ghosts, Yu Xingxing would inevitably give up this "hobby".

Thinking about it again, Yu Xingxing has been treated in the central hospital for so long, and after decades, it seems that there is only one "psychiatrist" in the central hospital who wantonly kills people. If they hadn't found out about this, investigated Yu Xingxing, and repeatedly asked Yu Xingxing, so that Yu Xingxing had to correct his "testimony", that is, to revise the story he made, Xu Haijun and "Cai Chaoyang" would not have appeared, right?

No one could have predicted this in advance.

Yu Xingxing's nephew was probably killed by Bai Wuchang for similar reasons.

Both of them were innocent people like those who were killed by demons.

Fate makes people.

Lin Youde found it difficult to accept this reality.

But when he looked at black and white, he saw two faces that looked the same but had different expressions.

Black impermanence has an indifferent attitude, and white impermanence remains silent without saying a word.

This is black and white impermanence.

Lin Youde suddenly had an epiphany.

Officer Qian's analysis of the "insufficient police force" probably makes sense.

But in addition, there is another factor, that is, they have been dealing with such "absurd" cases for many years.

They are not a set of emotions set up by the system, nor are they "passers-by" characters who only have responsibilities in the legend, and only come out to play soy sauce at the end of the story. Thinking about it from another perspective, Lin Youde just thought that he needed to constantly exercise such "justice", and he felt his scalp tingle.

This is the justice of hell.

It is also justice that belongs to the world.

Don't ask the reason, don't ask the heart, just crush the cockroach to death, and dispose of the unruly people or ghosts.

Lin Youde didn't know how he left the respiratory ward. He seemed to see the team leader, and he seemed to see his master Lao Wu. When he was completely sober, he saw Officer Qian sitting face to face with him.

Officer Qian seemed to be in good spirits and calm, as serious as when he usually investigated cases. He didn't have his usual playful and easy-going attitude, and pushed the water glass on the table to Lin Youde without any expression.

"Officer Qian......" Lin Youde reverted to his old name and no longer called Officer Qian Lao Qian.

The distance between the two widened, as if they had never been treated as mentally ill together, and they had never investigated the case of the central hospital together.

Officer Qian raised an eyebrow, "Drink some water." You don't eat or drink for a day. ”

Lin Youde held the water cup, only to feel that his body was still paralyzed and unable to hold the small cup. It was only then that he felt thirst and hunger.

"Yu Xingxing and his nephew Peng Yun were not able to rescue him." Officer Qian spoke.

Lin Youde's hand shook, the cup that he couldn't hold was knocked over by him, and the water flowed on the table, falling to the ground along the edge of the table, making a gurgling sound.

Neither of them wiped down the tabletop, or even picked up the cup.

Officer Qian looked at the water reflecting the light, "Xu Haijun also passed away." His nanny, Xu Hong, was injured by him, but her life was not in danger, and she is now being treated in the central hospital. ”

Lin Youde's drooping eyelashes kept trembling, and the muscles in his cheeks spasmed, making his face distort.

"What happened that day in the respiratory ward? Yu Xingxing was killed by that evil ghost? Officer Qian asked.

Lin Youde did not answer.

Officer Qian continued to himself: "Definitely not. ”

Lin Youde's body stiffened, and only his heart was still trembling uncontrollably.

"If it was that demon, you wouldn't be that reaction. Something else, I'm afraid...... Is that Li Yun? It doesn't seem to be. Officer Qian observed Lin Youde's expression and guessed one by one, "I remember you said that those ghosts told you...... Black and white are impermanent. ”

He spat out the last four words, and Lin Youde only felt that his heart had become stiff.

"Sure enough." Officer Qian was still calm, "They killed Yu Xingxing, and they also killed Yu Xingxing's nephew." So, the evil ghosts of the Central Hospital were created by these two people? ”

Officer Qian didn't know how Yu Xingxing and Peng Yun did it, but as soon as the clues were connected, even if it was unbelievable, he could only identify this fact.

"Or maybe black and white impermanence is also a ghost......" Officer Qian continued to speculate.

There is certainly more than one possibility of the truth. Officer Qian was always suspicious of Li Yun, and naturally he didn't believe 100% of the clues provided by Li Yun and Song Yingying. Although he deduced the situation in Hades from this, he did not see it with his own eyes, and he could not count it. What's more, even seeing it with his own eyes does not convince him completely. It is not unheard of for him to have a witness deceived by his own eyes and provide misleading clues.

Not to mention a ghost, even a living person, even the now dead Yu Xingxing, he never trusted.

Anything is possible, anything can be a demon.

With this in mind, no matter what happens, Officer Qian can stay calm.

This is not the case with Lin Youde.

When he got involved in this case, he was completely out of necessity. A good and upright heart does not make him more determined and strong. If it weren't for Officer Qian's slap in the face, he would probably have ignored this matter after saving Fang Xiaotian - the affairs of the underworld are governed by black and white impermanence, he doesn't have this duty, and he doesn't have the ability to subdue the evil ghosts, so why bother to go to this troubled water? It's one thing to be brave, it's another thing to be a vigilante. Although Lin Youde is young, he has long passed the period of dreaming of superheroes.

Officer Qian is also aware of this. Seeing Lin Youde so shaken and knocked out of his mind for a whole day, he guessed that he must have encountered something very remarkable on Yu Xingxing's side.

Lin Youde was influenced by himself, and he must have made psychological preparations for the evil ghost, Li Yun, and even Yu Xingxing, and now the only thing that can hit him is black and white impermanence. He had hoped that black and white impermanence would solve this problem.

Officer Qian had such thoughts, so he carefully observed Lin Youde and retracted the previous conjecture, "It seems that black and white impermanence is not evil, that is to say, this is how things are done in the underworld." ”

Ghosts kill, and black and white impermanence kills ghosts.

People use ghosts to kill people, and black and white impermanence kills.

Officer Qian thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He's an old-fashioned guy who can't be called jealous and hateful, but he also thinks that some criminals deserve to be shot. What human rights are not human rights. When those beasts kill people, how do they not know that they have human rights?

Lin Youde's throat squeezed out a broken moan.

He covered his face in pain, his elbows propped up on the drenched table, his heavy head propped up.

"Xiaolin ......" Officer Qian wanted to persuade Lin Youde.

Lin Youde spoke for the first time in this day, "They didn't mean to ......"

"You mean, negligence causes death?" Officer Qian was puzzled.

Lin Youde narrated slowly, and told Officer Qian everything he had learned.

Officer Qian narrowed his eyes and muttered.

The water stains on the table have dried at some point. Lin Youde's wet sleeves also evaporated the water.

Lin Youde knew that he wasn't crying, but his eyes were sour, as if he was about to squeeze out tears.

It's hard for him to describe how he's feeling right now.

This feeling of "the sky is falling" can be called inexplicable.

Even when he found out that there were really ghosts in this world, he didn't feel so shocked.

Lin Youde's chaotic thoughts couldn't be sorted out, so he could only turn to Officer Qian for help, racking his brains, and telling everything he saw and heard, without giving up any possible details.

If Li Yun was here, he could answer Lin Youde's doubts.

When Li Yun saw the abnormal changes in Xu Haijun's body, he had the same confusion.

It's the fear and uneasiness that comes from the depths of the soul.

It's just that the two have different identities and positions, one person and one ghost, and they are separated by life and death.

Li Yun feared his precarious situation. Everything that belongs to ghosts is a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water, as long as the living person has a thought, they may be scattered together, like heaven and earth, completely disappearing, without any reason.

Lin Youde is afraid of unknown forces. Yu Xingxing didn't know his ability, he "committed murder" for more than 20 years, and was finally "brought to justice", how to think and how to be wronged. Lin Youde felt the same way, for a while he only felt that he had become a Yu Xing who was bound by chains, and for a while he felt that he was the young man who was pierced by a long sword, and in an instant, he thought of the innocent patients who had died in the central hospital in the past 20 years, and the strangers who died because of that young man, and he had a new fear.

What the two are afraid of is actually the same knife, but Lin Youde, as the living, is the one who holds the knife, and Li Yun, as the deceased, is the one who may die at any time under the knife.

Lin Youde never understood this, but Officer Qian did, he not only understood Lin Youde's fear, but also took a step further and realized the key to this.

He didn't see the fear revealed in Li Yun's numbness, the cynicism of black impermanence, and the suspicion and gloom of white impermanence, but from Lin Youde's detailed description, he instantly figured out the meaning of this whole thing for them living people and ghosts like Li Yun and black and white impermanence.

Just like Li Yun's epiphany, blessed to the soul, he also had an epiphany about the existence of the knife.

The dividing line between life and death is so clear.

The relationship between life and death is not like the harmonious cycle of Tai Chi Yin and Yang.

At least in this case, not really.

These living people have the absolute "right to speak". And the side that is a ghost is powerless to fight back.

Those ghosts, at most, kill them, and make them become the same ghosts as them, from the person who wields the sword to the soul under the sword.

"Lao Wu told you about that case, right?" Officer Qian said suddenly.

Lin Youde looked at Officer Qian blankly.

"It's the robbery and murder 27 years ago." Officer Qian said.

The case he was referring to was a taxi robbery and homicide 27 years ago. The case is quite tortuous. The first to call the police was the convoy of taxis, who received an alert from the convoy channel and found that there were passengers robbed. Shouting and fighting were heard over the intercom, and when the call was interrupted, the convoy heard the driver's location. When the police arrived, they only found traces of tires, not the car. The taxi driver disappeared with the taxi. It was about three or four days before someone called the police to report that a charred body had been found. Police found tire prints on a taxi near the body, suspecting that the body belonged to the taxi driver. "Robbers" and taxis are still nowhere to be found. Later, after some investigation, it was confirmed that the charred corpse was not the driver, but a repeat robber, and it was determined that it was a robber at that time. The taxi driver is afraid that he succeeded in the counter-killing, and destroyed the corpse and fled. The driver's identity and appearance are very well confirmed, and today, under heavy surveillance, he can't escape at all, but more than 20 years ago, he escaped for six full years, and lived a wandering life for six years before he was found by the police in other provinces and cities. The Yaocheng police took him back and interrogated him. But when asked, it was found that the fatal wound on the charred corpse was not the driver's doing, and the driver did not burn the corpse.

The case was re-investigated, only to miss the optimal time for investigation and was at an impasse.

The driver was a fugitive for six years because of his misjudgment and choice. These six years of restless sleep and food not only ruined his body, but also his two families—he married and had children in the midst of his wanderings. Instead of going to jail for homicide, as he had imagined, he went to prison for bigamy.

Lin Youde's master, Lao Wu, was one of the policemen who investigated the case that year. He has changed from Xiao Wu to Lao Wu, and he is about to retire, and there is still no progress in this case. The case file will be handed over to Lam after his retirement. Although it was handed over, it was difficult for Lin Youde to make any useful investigations after he took over.

Lao Wu usually doesn't mention this case much, but every time he talks about it, he will mention the driver and the two women with children, the five of them sit on three sides, and their faces are similar to lost souls.

"No one knows what will happen at the slightest thought." Officer Qian said, "I also saw that driver back then. When he heard the truth, he looked very similar to you now. ”

Lin Youde's eyelids jumped.

"If he honestly called the police and made things clear after he escaped, then he didn't have to run away at all. Maybe the robber will survive, and we can catch the robber, and this case is a robbery. And it won't be like that. Officer Qian said.

His theory is somewhat similar to the attitude of black impermanence, and it is also the logic of black and white impermanence in accepting cases.

"The reason why rules are rules, and some positions exist, and there is a reason for it. You can understand best. If you don't understand, don't think about it that much. The little girl was right in saying that there was a line between the living and the ghosts, and this line was the line between life and death, not only to say that the living should not have much contact with ghosts, but also to say that nothing could kill a person. ”

Nothing can take a life away at will.

That's the iron law.

In addition, the subjective intentions, modus operandi, social influences, etc., which are deeply studied by the laws of the underworld, are not worth mentioning in the underworld.

Murderer, die.

It's that simple.

Officer Qian rudely reinforced this concept to Lin Youde without talking about his other thoughts.

The line between life and death is so clear that the living and the ghosts are completely separated, apparently to protect the living.

Whether it is to protect the living from the attack of ghosts, or to protect the overall "status" of the living, it is extremely beneficial for the living to let the ghosts be "obliterated" by the living unconsciously.

The living seem to be powerless in the face of evil spirits, and that is only for individuals. When the overall concept of the living changes, those evil spirits will become extinct like wild beasts that have lost their habitat.

The lack of black and white manpower, and the evil ghosts that have not been discovered in the central hospital for 20 years, are probably all derivatives of this change.

Officer Qian didn't know about the disappearance of the underworld, but he was in the tube and deduced some facts.

He himself is also a practical experience of this change in concept, and his investigation of the new media has given him a hint of the smell of sleepy beasts.
