Chapter XII

"The initial identification was successful. At this time, a machine sounded, Qin Fan aimed his pupils at the small hole, and the electronic voice prompted: "Recognition is successful." The door clicked in half, and Qin Fan said to them, "This is the base of the organization." ”

Is this it? They finally found it? Xu Ying and the others swallowed nervously, silently took out the handle of their guns, and followed Qin Fan in.

Inside the blue glow, this is a huge experimental place, the mechanical equipment dazzles them, countless small points of light flash, all the machines are operating, in the dim, a projection display is densely packed with monitoring images of various places, there are gates outside the mall, and the space on the second floor of the basement...... It's all magnified clearly.

A chair in front of the surveillance slowly turned around, and a creepy voice rang out:

"Welcome, my guests. ”

- It was a miserable and strange face, and under the two crooked crescent eyes, there was a smile that cut to the base of the ears on both sides.

Seeing this face again, the members of the task force couldn't help but shudder.

The face under the mask can be impersonated, but the voice can't deceive people.

The man who died in front of them a year ago is now sitting in a chair, laughing at them.

The task force took out a gun and pointed it at the masked man, who waved his hand and said lightly: "Officer, don't be so nervous, let's sit down and talk, in fact, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"And these two here, thank you for leading the way. The masked man faced Beiyuan and Qin Fan, his eyes hidden behind his crooked eyes, but he only stared at Qin Fan alone, and he said: "My subordinates, you can escape directly, why do you want to throw yourself into the net? You know that it is impossible to get out alive if you come here again." ”

He narrowed his eyes: "Your little lover, and the little baby who is not yet ten years old, they will be sad......"

"You are not allowed to touch them, I am the only one who leaked the organization, and any punishment is aimed at me. Qin Fan said coldly.

"Haha. The masked man clapped his hands, "Don't worry, I'll give you a chance for a while, but I'm going to let you be quiet for a while...... It's time for the role of leading the way to leave, and the next step is the protagonist's role. He smiled strangely.

Before the words fell, Qin Fan was like being shocked, his head shook rapidly, and in the next second, his eyes rolled and he fell back, fainted, caught the back of Qin Fan's neck with one hand, and slowly put him to the ground.

In the darkness, a young man stood beside Beiyuan at some point, he carried Qin Fan's back collar and dragged him to the experimental machine next to him, and then walked next to the masked man.

β€œra...... Ainle?" Kitahara was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "What are you doing here?"

"Where's going back? He's not your child, how can he be like a kid who wants to go back to his own runaway, Dr. Osamu Kitahara. ”

The masked man laughed, his left hand resting on his brow as if he had heard some kind of joke, and let out a few hairy laughs.

But...... Kitahara looked at the boy, and the boy's eyes were like looking at a low-level creature, full of strangeness and coldness.

He suddenly realized that this was just an emotionless cold code, why did I think he would go back with me?

The task force was a little surprised when they saw the young man, especially Xu Ying, Xiaojun, Xu Wei and other people who had seen him, they didn't expect to meet him here, and they couldn't help but think, since he was here, could Nangong Xiaolu also be here? This person named Beiyuan Xiu also seemed to know him...... The situation is a bit more complicated.

What really happened during the year?

"Besides, Dr. Kitahara. The masked man lazily continued, "Rainle's coming to me is of his own volition, and no one can force him unless he wants to go. ”

"Rainle said he was going to work with me. The masked man finally spat out slowly.

"Then you are the mastermind behind this series of coded killings?" asked Xu Ying.

The masked man waved his hand exaggeratedly, as if acting in a drama: "no~no~no, how can I be the mastermind?" his tone was yin and yang, "I'm just a little boss, I like some excitement and do things that make me excited, so I'm here." ”

He paused: "Ah, no, no, I digress, I invited you here to get you to work with me on this great project." ”

β€œ...... What project?" Xu Ying said in a deep voice.

The masked man whispered strangely: "If the rainlechen code can be derived into materialization, then it is originally in the human body, can it be added to the computer data?"

"You mean turning people into non-humans?" Xu Wei asked him.

That's what I'm working on right now. He excited, "I'm not like the people of the organization, the rainle made by integrating human organs into computer data is too idiotic, without thoughts, without people's emotions, it is simply a failure!

As he spoke, he suddenly became frustrated again: "However, the current experiment is stuck at a point, although I now have the complete rainlechen code, but no matter how flexible I am, I can't get rid of the limitations of the code, and I can't think about the derived things, if I don't operate, they will stop moving, and even the new people who have been integrated into it will fall off halfway." ”

"What? You were responsible for a series of bizarre rumors that happened a year ago?" asked Xiaojun with a fuss.

"Then, isn't that human head ......" He Juan felt a wave of retching as she thought of the incident when the suspect was running with a dropped head a year ago.

"That was just the early stages of my experimentation, and now I'm going to make a rainle that is not controlled by me, self-aware, and joyful, just like the original rainle...... No, Rainle, who has more human feelings than the original!" said the masked man excitedly.

"You madman...... How many people have you killed, and how many innocent children have fallen victim to your experiments! You ......" Fu Tianzhao clenched his fists and almost choked blood.

"There will always be sacrifices in any experiment, but the value of the results obtained is immeasurable, but this experiment is not allowed to be replaced by human beings?" the masked man smiled secretly, with a little sarcasm, "In the experiments that humans have done for many years, I don't know how many mice, frogs, snakes, and various animals have become victims, aren't they innocent?"

He folded his fingers on his chin and said in a low voice, "I'm just replacing this victim with a human, does that make any difference?" ”

It seems to make sense...... Several people didn't know how to speak for a while.

"You are sophistry!" Huang Yan saw that the army's heart was shaken, and he hurriedly exerted the power of the veteran, and said to the masked man: "Anyway, it is a fact that you killed someone, and we will arrest you." ”

"Wait. The masked man said suddenly, he got up from his chair, walked up to them, took off the mask, and revealed a pale British face, and the British man said to several people: "In order to show my sincerity, I will show my true face." ”

"How did you pretend to be Xiaojun before?" He Juan asked incredulously when she saw his face.

The Englishman still laughed: "I just borrowed a fake skin, not surprising." ”

He Juan suddenly imagined whether his fake skin would be a real person's skin, combined with the kind of perverted experiment he did...... Thinking of this, she was a little disgusted, and quickly shut up and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The Englishman did not dwell on the question anymore and continued what he had just said: "Before arresting me, please cooperate with me in researching a code, officers." ”

"Why do we have to cooperate with you?" Xu Ying asked, feeling a little ridiculous, the man seemed to be unaware of his imminent arrest, and looked leisurely.

"You don't have a choice. A cold voice said, and the teenager, Rainle, spoke.

By the way, they almost forgot that this young man stunned Qin Fan with his bare hands, he was an extremely dangerous existence!

If it is an intelligent AI, there is at least a visible power button that can turn off the power while it is unprepared, but this is a data anthropomorphic body, there are no wiring, no power, and even no entity, so it is not his opponent at all.

That's why British men have nothing to fear.

Will Rainle kill them?

Xiaojun has mixed feelings in his heart, for him, Rainle has saved his life, and Rainle has the other half, Nangong Xiaolu.

It was a lively and cute little girl, and it was like two people with this indifferent machine......

The Englishman interrupted his thoughts and said, "So, if you don't listen well, you may never be able to get out again, Dr. Kitahara and Dr. Xu Wei, please leave this password to you?"

After a long silence, the two agreed, and they had to agree.

The longer it dragged on, the worse it was for them, because this Englishman was a psychopath, cloudy and sunny for a while, and suddenly decided to kill them the next moment. The two computer experts could only concentrate on operating the keyboard in front of the electronic screen, cracking the strange and complex password layer by layer.

This password is set dazzlingly, there is another lock in it, interlocking, and when it is finally unlocked, there is actually a trap password in it, which makes the two top experts rack their brains and repeat dozens of times, but they can only unlock two locks, and there are more than a dozen locks to be cracked.

Just as the two of them were busy deciphering the secrets, the Englishman sat back in his chair, turned the chair seat leisurely, and said to the rest of the people: "You can't do anything to me at this time, I'm idle anyway, why don't I tell you a story?"

Seeing that several people were silent, he smiled: "Don't be nervous, I said that I will follow you to the police station when the password is cracked, I will not regret it, anyway, when you torture me, I won't be able to resist." ”

"Are you willing to do your unfinished experiment?" asked Xu Ying.

"Hehe, if you don't believe me, you can light a fire here, the gasoline on the ground will burn it all to the ground, I didn't threaten you, you see, I don't have a lighter or matches or anything on me. He turned his pockets and trousers all over.

How many people are stunned, this person's brain is really abnormal? He said that he wanted to be the world's first experimental subject for a while, and then he was going to die together?

Could it be that he still has a back-up move?

"What's that password?" Xu Ying asked him alertly.

"Hehe, you don't suspect me of cheating, do you?" he smiled, "I definitely didn't lie to you, that password has nothing to do with my experiments, really, you have to trust me." The man looked genuinely innocent.

Well, even if you want to cheat him, there is no way, the boy is standing next to him, like a time bomb.

"Then tell me your story. He finally relented. For now, they can only wait and see what happens.

The Englishman coughed lightly, his deep blue eyes slowly lowered, and began to tell his story in a peculiar deep tone.

.

Qin Fan opened his eyes dimly in the headache, leaned on the fingers on the corner of the laboratory table twitched, and inadvertently touched the cold liquid, he quietly turned his body and looked up along the dripping unknown liquid, a hand on the experimental table caught his first glance, and then slowly raised his neck, he finally saw the panorama clearly-

It was a person, a teenager-sized person to be exact, lying quietly on a white metal test table, his entire head covered by a white metal helmet, the tip of which was connected to a dense wire that connected to a bright place not far away, where was Shu Kitahara and Xu Wei who were cracking the code......

There's another guy here! Could it be that he's the missing kid the police are looking for?

In an instant, a myriad of bad thoughts popped up in his head, and his intuition told him that he should immediately shout at them to stop cracking the code, but when he opened his mouth wide to make a sound, he found that his throat hurt as if it had been torn, and his vocal cords were silent, and he couldn't make a sound.

Then he caught a glimpse of Rainle, who was standing not far away, suddenly turning his head to stare at him.

...... I see, he was contained.

But why are you on the side of the enemy who has issued a hunt for you, Rainle?

Qin Fan was half-lying on the edge of the experimental table in despair, his body was weak and weak, and he could only watch these unwitting people being manipulated by the British man.

On the other side, the man's story is slowly being told:

A long time ago, when it was still in the old century, in a small village in a country, a carpenter's family was poor, the carpenter's wife ran away with someone, he lived alone with two children under the age of ten who had eaten the last meal without the next meal, at that time the carpenter lived in the sparse woods of the plain is not easy to do, the old carpenter's legs and feet have hidden diseases, can not walk out of the village, plus he is old, the hands are no longer flexible, when doing carpentry trembling, sometimes half a month to receive a job, but the income is meager, for a large and two small is simply a drop in the bucket。

When the eldest son was fifteen years old, the old carpenter took the carpentry skills he had passed down, the so-called blue is better than the blue, the eldest son's handicraft was more delicate and small than the old carpenter's hands, and he made all the stored wood into various handicrafts at home every day, teapots, bookcases, and cigarette bottles...... He did almost everything he could, and gradually, the village leader who came to the door began to visit their house to buy the handicrafts made by his eldest son, and the old carpenter's house finally added a layer of life, and the gloom that had hovered on the verge of death in the past finally dissipated a lot, and the family finally had a smile on their faces.

During this time, the eldest son began to take over the responsibility of supporting the family of three, and sometimes had to go out of the village to find usable timber because of the rush to work, and the village was far from the mountains, so he often did not return home for several days, leaving the money for the rest of the two to exchange food.

More than a year passed in a flash, and the old carpenter's family finally crawled out of the predicament, and the family gradually had more rice and meat, and the youngest son, who was originally malnourished and like wisps of green smoke, began to grow his body, and it was not long before he was almost as tall as the eldest son.

But the haze seems unwilling to leave its long-time host, once again looming tragedy over the family.

The eldest son went to the city for a week to sell handicrafts, and has not been heard from since. The old carpenter asked the young man in the village about the whereabouts of his eldest son, but to no avail. One month passes, two months pass, two years, three years...... There is no one alive or dead, and the old carpenter's house gradually empties the grain reserves, and in the end only a little food remains, and a nightmarish life of poverty will come again.

The old carpenter grew older, and he could no longer do carpentry work, nor could he grow crops, so he limped out of the village, and took his youngest son into the county town to beg, and they squatted in the crowded bazaar during the day with bowls, stretched out their hands to the merchants and begged for a penny, and at night hid under the bridge, rolling up rags and sleeping.

The old carpenter has become an old beggar, the old beggar and the little beggar, day by day on the edge of the bottom of the people, chased and beaten by the officers and soldiers, occupied by groups of beggars, the days of eating and sleeping in the open made the old beggar's already sick body even weaker, one night, he lay in the abandoned firewood house next to the garbage heap and could no longer stand up, his rheumatism kneecap was completely broken. After a while, he felt his breathing gradually harder, and he knew that he was running out of time.

Finally, he took his youngest son's hand and opened his eyes, which were almost bursting. He said, "You must find your brother, he must be somewhere in this country......"

After saying that, the old beggar swallowed his breath and was finally relieved.

The younger son hated the old beggar, and he hated his brother even more. In his young mind, his father, the old beggar, was a useless waste who could only live on others, and his brother, who was strong, left them alone, and left them to beg on the streets, and all his dreams came to naught.

He is still too young, clumsy to do child labor, thin as a hemp pole body so that many bosses show disgusted expressions, he looked for a long time before finally being accepted by a craft merchant, he grew so big to see the most is to use wood to make handicrafts, he has seen more, naturally easy to get started, he has been studying day and night, excellence, made the handicrafts to the boss surprised, more than ten years later, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and finally alarmed the palace.

For the first time, he saw people dressed so gorgeously and with tall black hats on their heads, driving tall carriages, several palanquins decorated with coral bead curtains, the corners of the curtains were opened, and a pair of bright eyes flashed with gold dust, quietly watching what this craftsman with magic looks like, and at that moment, the young man also saw the amazing face under the curtain.

He had transformed into a young man, and the throbbing of youth made him unable to take his eyes off it, and he was already deeply immersed in it at such a glance.

What a beautiful countenance it was! He involuntarily followed her, gradually dragging him all the way into the court.

He became a royal carpenter, carving crafts from fine wood, his craftsmanship became more and more refined, his reputation became more and more famous, his salary became higher and higher, and he became the legendary carpenter in the hearts of the people.

But he is getting more and more haggard day by day, and he always thinks about the glimpse before entering Beijing, like a fairy falling into the mortal world.

Just as he was thinking and sighing, a figure on the corridor outside the palace crashed into his eyes, the tall figure, wearing a tall official hat and a young man in a jet-black robe. He carefully identified it, wasn't it his eldest brother who had been missing for three years!

It was as if he had experienced a great storm in his heart, and he was standing on the surface of the sea with a roar, and the waves rushed down on him with a roar, biting the flesh raw, and the blood was oozing out of his heart, splashing drop by drop on the marble floor on which he stood.

As if telepathically, the gorgeously dressed man also saw him, his eyes met, and the man's originally quiet and indifferent face turned sallow in an instant, a burst of blue and a burst of red, colorful. He watched his eldest brother's expression silently, and suddenly burst into a long laugh that gave goosebumps to the guards of the temple, and the people in the corridor fled to his mad laughter.

The old beggar's dying prophecy was true, his brother really did not die, yes, he did not die, he had already entered the capital and became an official of the imperial court.

The boundless hatred in his heart surged up again, and a black tide expanded to his entire chest, and he only felt the pain turn into a hot stream, burning his cheeks.

When his apprentice came out to look for him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Why is your mouth bleeding??" He wiped the corner of his mouth, and there was really blood oozing out, and he actually bit his lip unconsciously.

When the apprentice saw that he was fine, he didn't ask any more questions, and then he asked, "Who is the noble man who just walked by?"

"Did the master mean the man who had just left on the corridor?" replied the apprentice, "he is Hojo-sama, the son of the shogun's house, and speaking of which, the master has not been in the palace for a long time, and you haven't heard that Hojo-sama is going to join the horse, have you?"

He reacted slowly, and only after a long time did he ask in a daze, "Hojo-sama, the son of the General's Mansion?"

"yes, I heard they're going to have a wedding soon, and it's going to be a feast again. The apprentice said these inconsequential things, and there was a wistful expression on his face.

He wandered around the palace like a ghost, unconsciously drifting to the princess's mansion, and when he looked up at the plaque, he realized that he had come here, and he almost raised his foot to break into someone else's house, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to enter. He thought to himself, what if he was dazzled and mistaken what if the aristocratic man surnamed Hojo was just similar in appearance?

No, no, he immediately denied it, and if he was really wrong, then why did that person panic the moment he saw himself, unless he knew himself and was afraid to see himself.

But could it be that his hatred was so deep that he hallucinated that he poured the guilt of the eldest brother at seeing him on the stranger? Like a deranged man, he shook his head back and forth in front of the princess's mansion, and talked to himself, until the guard at the door drove the strange man away.

He slowly walked back to his wooden room, sat down on the straw pile, and began to fall into a long period of contemplation.

At first, when he suddenly saw the familiar face of his eldest brother, a rush of blood rushed to his head, only irrepressible surprise, then turned to natural, self-deprecation, and finally turned into a roaring hurricane-like hatred, he was like a crumbling straw, almost unable to support it and fell.

And at this moment, the madness of the roar in his chest had subsided, the raging fire had settled, and he began to calmly plan how to enter the princess's mansion.

Under the pretext of helping Shogun Hojo carve a new log column, he went into the princess's palace to get good wood, and it was Hojo Shogun and his "son" who sat in the living room.

When Hojo-sama saw him come in, he hurriedly turned his eyes away, as if he was afraid that he would see his face, he sneered in his heart, and saluted to Hojo General quietly on the surface: "The villain accepted these woods and thanked the general." ”

He added: "To re-engrave the columns in the princess's mansion, there must be a reference, and the villain dared to ask the general to let me stay in the mansion for the time being, so that I could carve them." ”

The general did not doubt him, and he moved into the princess's mansion that night. In the middle of the night, he stayed in the guest room with a carving knife and carved the wooden block in his hand, while leaning against the window, staring at the two people embracing each other under the tree.

He looked at the lovers, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the middle of the night, he walked into the hall from the guest room, and when he heard footsteps outside, he hurriedly hid behind the door and looked out, and saw Hojo-sama, who was well-dressed during the day, with his hair scattered and only a coat of clothing, turning things thinly in the bushes.

He said coldly from behind Hojo, "Hello, brother. ”

Hojo's feet slipped and he plunged headlong into the dirt, his pure white robe soaked, and the jet-black muddy water sticky to his clogs. Hojo looked back to see a young man smiling coldly at himself.

"You ......" Hojo stammered and stood up, completely ignoring his embarrassed appearance at this time, just staring at the person in front of him, and it took a long time for his trembling lips to regain some function, and said dryly: "It's not what you think, I didn't leave you and my father behind." ”

"My father is dead. He answered.

"What did you say?" Hojo's eyes widened, and then his shoulders collapsed as if he had lost his soul, and his eyes were foggy. The next second, Hojo was grabbed by the collar, and then he flew high like a kite with a broken string, and then fell to the ground like tissue paper.

He threw his eldest brother out and walked in front of Hojo, the anger in his eyes spurted out, and he forced his voice: "Why, why do you look like you're crying? Aren't you the one who betrayed us in the first place? You abandoned us to the capital to become the general's own son, and married the princess of the Celestial Empire...... Brother, brother...... You're ...... You're so ......."

He was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he felt like his chest was going to explode if he continued to speak. The person who was said was blind-eyed, and seemed to have not recovered from the words "Father is dead" just now, and looked at him in a daze.

"Tsk. He looked at Hojo's appearance, and the annoyance in his heart ignited again, and he picked up Hojo again, and fell again in anger, Hojo let him vent like a lifeless puppet, without a little resistance.

"Why the hell did you talk to me!" He said to Hojo as if his heart was being torn apart, shaking the man over and over again, "How the hell did you get into the court, how did you become the son of the Hojo family, how did you make a marriage contract with the princess? You say, you talk to me!

The man who lost his luster moved his eyes slowly, and finally focused on his younger brother in front of him, and his voice became choked: "No, it's not...... I wanted to get better and bring you to the capital...... But, it's ......."

Hojo's watery eyes looked at his younger brother helplessly through crystal tears: "Father, he...... How did you die?"

"Hah! How did you die......?" the younger brother laughed angrily, "starved to death, we went to the city to beg, and it took a few days to get a bun, and the food was not enough for two people, so he carried the hunger himself for several months, and finally did not escape the recurrence of the old disease, so he died...... Before he died, he was still counting on you, the eldest brother, to come back, but he didn't expect that his brother had been an official in the court for several years, and now he was about to fly on the branches, where did he remember that he had a father and younger brother who were terminally ill?"

His voice grew softer and colder, until at last it pierced through his heart like an ice blade, piercing Hojo's heart.

Hojo suddenly burst out, the green tendons on his forehead protruded, and he said angrily to his younger brother: "You know that your father is suffering from a hidden disease, and he will relapse after a little walking, why didn't you stop him from leaving the village at that time?

"Then do you want us to wait for death in the village?!" the younger brother roared, "You don't care if we live or die for a few years, there is no food at home, one may die if you go out, but if you don't go out, both of you will die!"

"Gla-" The attic window was pushed open, and a young girl with her long hair scattered and her face half-covered with a veil looked down curiously, as if to see who was arguing, her beautiful eyes flowed, even through the veil could not hide the beauty of the world, and the two were attracted to attention, and looked up at the same time.

At a glance, his heart was confused before he spoke. Those eyes that shone like water were clean and bright, and his heart was shocked.

A female voice came from the attic, "Princess, how can you open the window? Close it quickly!" As the window in the attic was closed again, the two men by the grass were silent.

Suddenly, the younger brother "giggled" and chuckled, like a ghost in the night, his pale face was piercing to glow eyes, and then he said softly, "I figured it out, I know what I have to do." ”

"What are you going to do?" the elder brother looked at him and looked at him obviously wrong, and felt a little panicked.

The younger brother turned his back and could not see his expression, only the cold voice that seemed to float from the depths of hell.

"That princess is Hojo-sama's fiancΓ©e, right?"

He no longer calls him "brother", but uses an unfamiliar name.

"No matter what you want to do, I just want you to know that I have never forgotten you, I have my troubles, you don't pretend to be hatred in your heart, otherwise it will ruin you sooner or later. The elder brother finally said from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't even bother to argue with Hojo and left on his own.

,

A few years have passed, the day of the princess's marriage came as scheduled, early in the morning routine parade on the street, the common people up and down the capital crowded the streets to watch the married people and so on slowly walk by, the silk and bamboo orchestral music is endless, taking advantage of the street games to play, dancing, a group of extravagant atmosphere.

That night, the only son of the Hojo family entered the princess's house, and the branches of the tree were covered with many strips of red cloth, and the young man who stopped at the bottom of the tree was smiling and hanging the red cloth strip with his wish on the high branches, watching it sway in the wind.

Hojo officially moved into the princess's mansion, and within a year, the princess became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy.

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Princess. A young man in official uniform said softly to the princess, who sat down across from her, scooped up a spoonful of the warm potion and handed it to the princess's mouth.

"Ah, my lord, you are really, I will do this little thing myself. The princess shirked, but took the spoon that the man had handed her.

As soon as Hojo walked into the room, he saw the two of them smiling and smiling, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, when did they have such a good relationship?

Then spring went on, and the princess's baby boy grew up to be old enough to wield the hilt of a sword, and often accompanied his father on long journeys with bows and arrows, and hunted for many days before returning home.

"It's lonely, isn't it? You're the only one left in the house. He sat down against her and watched the cherry blossoms in the distance with her, the petals fluttering.

"Aren't you often coming to see me?" the princess's face was still the same as when he first saw it, which made his heart suffocate. He slowly lifted her waist as she shuddered and flushed instantly, her hands clutching the corners of her cherry blossom-colored kimono.

The man gently tempted: "Be careful of getting cold, do you want to go into the house?"

.

The north wind howled, and the snowflakes rolled in the air and gradually withered, like a mournful lament, to bring misfortune to the world.

Hojo had just returned home from outside, covered in snow, shaking his cloak, and burrowed into the warm inner room, and was about to push open his wife's door, when he heard the laughter of a man and a woman inside, shaking his eardrums.

He pushed open a crack and saw the young man kissing her affectionately. Hojo pushed open the door with a "whew", and the wife in the room looked at him with a pale face, Hojo's blood surged, and he smashed his fist at the man on the side, and the man instantly bleeded from his nose, but he showed a sarcastic smile at him, which was particularly dazzling.

Hojo gasped and pointed out the door: "You go, don't come here again!"

After that, Hojo stopped having sex with his wife until one day, when his wife became pregnant again. "It's not your child. She looked directly at Hojo and spoke calmly.

Hojo stared numbly at her stomach like a lightning strike, and after a few moments, he grabbed a knife from the table and walked out the door.

"Don't hurt him!" she grabbed Hojo hard, her eyes glinting, "Please, spare him his life......

"Okay, I won't kill him, but if you dare to give birth to the child, I will strangle the child!"

Hojo rushed out of the house in a rage, went to the tavern to drink, and in the distance, he seemed to see his brother leaning against the corner, giving him a smileβ€”a demonic smile.

"How's it going, are you in pain?" the brother said to him silently.

"Either you'll kill the child, or you'll kill me." 』

"But you're too weak to use a knife against your own brother. 』

In a trance, he heard the demon's voice, low and shallow, seeping into the bottom of his heart.

"This is the best revenge I can get on you. 』

"Ahhh

He squatted down and whispered softly in his brother's ear: "Tell you, I will definitely let that child be born and become my strongest weapon, I will destroy you, destroy the princess, and let you stay with your father forever." ”

The man's smile almost twisted, and he got back to his feet, slowly disappearing from Hojo's field of vision.

Sure enough, within a few days, his wife disappeared, and she left the imperial city forever with her teenage child and unborn baby, and there was only one man in the princess's mansion, drunk and stubble-stubble, and the man's long messy hair was scattered on his face, like a living ghost, and even the servants did not want to go near him.

Hojo felt that the faith he had always held on to was gone, and the departure of his wife and children destroyed his last shred of warmth for him

Alone, without care.

There was a faint sound of footsteps behind him, and Hojotou didn't bother to reply, nor did he bother to say anything, so he pretended not to hear it, and another glass of wine poured into his throat, burning him and coughing. The footsteps behind him stopped behind Hojo, and the tip of the knife in the man's hand swayed, and Hojo looked sideways, feeling that it was as bright as the reflection in the wine glass, and couldn't help but laugh "hehe".

The voice behind him sounded: "I've had enough revenge, now I just want to ask you a question." ”

The voice was stoic and full of urgency: "In those years, why didn't you send news to me and my father?"

Hojo Kikichi: "Does it make sense to ask about this now?"

"Didn't you say you had a hard time!" he suddenly lost control of his emotions and roared loudly, "Even if you explain, I just need to listen to you say it yourself!"

Hojo's empty eyes turned to him, and he said quietly: "More than ten years ago, I was here, I want to explain to you, but have you given me a chance? If I tell you, I originally wanted to get the treasure rumored to be hidden in the princess's mansion after entering Beijing, and then try my best to make the Hojo general, who had just lost his son, recognize me, as long as I enter the princess's mansion one day, I can get that treasure, and then send a message to you to share the wealth, will you believe it?" ”

His hand holding the knife began to tremble, and his voice was out of control: "...... You, you lied to me, you are just making an excuse for your own pleasure! Otherwise, why didn't you send a message to us all those years to reassure us?"

β€œ...... The premise of all this is that I can't have any contact with my original relatives, otherwise I will be found out sooner or later. ”

"I can take some of the food I leave for my family and sell it, but how can it not be enough?"

- That's because...... There was too much food, they didn't sell it in time, most of it was already spoiled, and the rest became less and less, so naturally there was not enough to eat.

"Why are you forced to beg? Obviously, there are a lot of wood carvings that I left behind under the firewood, and I can make a lot of money by selling them. ”

That's because they live on food all day long, and no one thinks of going out to tie the straw, and naturally they don't look at what is under the straw.

"Jingle", the katana in his hand fell on the wooden floor, silently holding his head, his eyes fluttering irregularly in his sockets, he, he has always hated his father, hated his eldest brother, but in fact, he has just been making up a hatred for himself, that disgust for his own powerlessness, and inflicting it on other people, like this...... So that he can continue to live, he ...... He can rely on hating others as motivation......

"You're such a piece of shit. Hojo looked at him, "I told you a long time ago that hatred will destroy you, who do you think is more like a ghost now? Who do you think is more miserable?"

"Who is the most painful one now?"

"Poof!" the sharp knife slashed diagonally, blood splattered everywhere, he gasped, still maintaining the posture after swinging the knife, his eyes staring blankly ahead, his brother lying in a pool of blood, still with a mocking smile on his lips. He finally broke down and screamed, like a torrent bursting through the sky. The servants in the palace were alarmed and rushed to the scene, but they just looked at the room full of blood in a daze, but it was empty.

He escaped from the princess's mansion with his brother's body on his back and walked away from the imperial city along the path. Was it the truth that my brother was telling or was it a lie he told to escape? Which one, or was it the answer he wanted to hear?

But that doesn't make sense anymore. Because my brother is dead, it doesn't matter what the truth is.

It's just that he finally attributed the sin to his father, to his brother, and even to the princess, and to gradually annihilate all the hatred with the death of these people, so that he can live with peace of mind.

"But in the end, does he really stop hating?" muttered the storyteller with his head down in the laboratory, his eyes flashing for a moment of dazedness and then disappearing quickly, "Or does he end up hating it, but the person he hates has become himself?"

As the British man finished telling the story, the laboratory became surprisingly quiet, and when he returned to reality from the story, Xu Ying and the others did not speak for a while.

Why do British men tell this story? Does it relevant?

The man looked at his watch and said to himself, "It's time." ”

Before Xu Ying and the others could react, a mechanical voice came from the electronic screen next door: "The code has been deciphered." ”

"Hahahaha! I made it!" the man suddenly shouted, and he stood up and rushed to the screen to check the deciphered contents, his expression gradually froze and finally turned to shock. "Impossible, impossible...... Why is it a blank space, why is there nothing?" he staggered backwards, like a puppet, his limbs stiff and his mouth muttering involuntarily.

"Am I still losing to him? No, no, no!" he hugged the electronic screen like crazy, as if he was going to strangle someone, his eyes were red, and he looked like a ghost. Xu Ying and the others looked at each other, everyone understood, Fu Tianzhao and Xiaojun quickly pulled down the shoulders of the British man, neatly clasped his hands, handcuffed them with a "click", and the rest of them raised their pistols and aimed them at him.

The sudden reversal of the tide made the Englishman stunned for a few seconds, and then he shouted, "Rainle!

Oh no! Xu Ying and the others then remembered the existence of the young man, just now he had been silently retreating to the shadows, coupled with the story told by the man, causing them to completely forget that there was a powerful threat!

But to the surprise of everyone present, the boy walked from the darkness to a device, pressed a button, and the electronic door behind him slowly opened, and the wall at the end of the passage outside the door moved.

All the exits are open? Several members of the task force did not expect such a development of the plot, and they forgot to go out for a while. The detained Englishman roared furiously, "Rainle, you actually betrayed me! Have you forgotten our deal? Without me, you don't want to get the code broken, haha...... The data is blank, and you're in vain, but I've at least finished my work...... Hey, hey, hey, I'm the one who wins!"

The man smiled nervously, and just when everyone was defenseless, the hand behind his back quietly pulled a brake on the side of the laboratory table, and suddenly the entire laboratory was shrouded in red alarm lights, accompanied by a rapid electronic chirp, and a line of large words appeared on the big screen: self-destruction warning, countdown - 29, 28, 27, 26......

...... 19、18、17......

Xu Ying waved his hand without saying a word, and the task force and others escorted the British man to the passage outside the experimental base. "Qin Fan is still inside!" He Juan suddenly shouted, she went back and pulled Qin Fan with one hand on her shoulder to help her stand up, the corner of her eyes swept over the experimental table, just in time to catch a glimpse of a teenager-like person lying on the platform, with a metal instrument on her head, her heart was beating "suddenly", she was stunned in place, and after reacting, she shouted to everyone at the exit: "There is another person here! Come and help rescue it!"

Huang Yan ran back to the experimental table, and was shocked when he saw the person lying on it, but he immediately pulled himself up and reached out to pick up the metal instrument, but it was stuck very hard, and he couldn't move it a little with all his might. He dripped, and he groped for all parts of the instrument, but he couldn't find where the switch was, and the countdown had entered single digits, and the electronic sound of the machinery struck everyone's heartβ€”

10、9、8、7......

"It's too late! Let's go!" Xu Ying stood at the door and shouted, He Juan dragged Qin Fan and Huang Yan to the exit, but was tripped by the steps the moment she stepped into the door, Qin Fan slipped off her shoulder, and when she got up again, Huang Yan dragged her to run out desperately, she just looked back at Qin Fan who fell at the entrance of the passage.

5...... 4......

"Haha, Rainle, you die!" the Englishman shouted madly at the lab.

3...... 2...... 1......

"Bang !!"

A loud bang gushed out from the inside out, a black mushroom cloud spread out from the bottom on the second basement floor of the mall, and the screams of countless people were engulfed in a huge roar, and the debris shot into the vehicles driving on the street, the glass of the car cut the bodies of pedestrians, and all the people who ran slowly became innocent victims.

The originally blue sky was filled with black gas, which could not be dissipated for a long time. As far as the eye can see, the busiest area of the city center has become a pile of coke at this time.
