Northern Myanmar: Years of Dehumanization

"Here, bloodshed and death are inevitable. You don't have to shoot every day, but you have to be able to shoot..."

I am just a good guy, and the emotional surprise in Brother Qing's eyes turned out to be that he taught me how to shoot.

Gee, this is not a surprise to me. To be precise, it is a bit scary.

"Brother Qing, I..."

I wanted to say something else, but I didn't know that Brother Qing wouldn't give me a chance at all.

His hand was on my finger and he pulled the trigger hard.

"Bang bang bang."

After a few gunshots, Manager Guan, who was wailing on the ground, stopped screaming.

The powerful recoil of the submachine gun made my arms numb.

Made me feel like my arms were shaking.

It was also true, my arms were indeed shaking.

Looking at Director Guan on the ground who was indirectly killed by me, I felt a tremor in my heart.

A sentence keeps popping up in my mind:

I killed someone!

I couldn't help but panic, and I was a little at a loss.

Later, I never expected that Brother Qing’s behavior would really keep me alive.

I also deeply understood what he said, you don’t have to kill people every day, but you must be able to shoot.

Because in this no-nonsense zone, shooting is the prerequisite to protect yourself.

Otherwise, they will become mere fish and be slaughtered by others.

Haha, what I said is a little incorrect. Even if you have a gun, you may still be a fish.

Later, I learned that there was a curfew in this place. Generally, no one was allowed to walk on the street at eight o'clock in the evening.

Our park was located in a mountain, so there was no such restriction.

In other words, if I ran away at night, even if I escaped to the street, I would be caught easily.

Looking back, I can't help but thank Director Ichiban Seki. If he hadn't scolded me, maybe I would have...

Closer to home.

When I was in a daze, Brother Qing threw a shovel in front of me.

"What are you doing standing there? Dig a hole quickly and bury it. I'll have a midnight snack when I get back!"

Brother Qing kicked me and went to the side to smoke alone.

I came to my senses and reached out to pick up the shovel. My hands are still shaking even now.

Maybe it was because his hands were too numb from the recoil of the gun.

I'm not a newbie, I've seen Li Xin get shot in the head and Brother Tiger died in front of me.

It's just that this time I have personally participated in it, I will have a strange feeling.

I curled my lips, lit a cigarette for myself with trembling hands, stuffed it into my mouth, and then started to dig a hole.

I don’t know when, cigarettes seemed to have become my spiritual sustenance and made me feel at ease.

Needless to say, Brother Qing knew how to choose a place. This place was relatively soft, so it didn’t take much effort to dig.

"Okay, that's it."

Brother Qing saw that I had dug a large round pit of several dozen centimeters, which was still relatively shallow, so he called me to stop.

I compared the physique of Director Guan and looked at the hole. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get it in!

Brother Qing came to the body of Director Guan, dragged him over, and forced him into the pit.

However, a large section of it is exposed.

"Seal the soil, people are already dead, why do we still need such a good pit?"

Brother Qing said this and spat on Director Guan's body.

When I was sealing the land, I was complaining next to me:

"Damn it, I didn't expect to be so tough-talking. It was a waste of time. If I get the one million, I can get a lot of it."

I also understand the reason why Brother Qing treats Director Guan like this. It feels like Brother Qing has not benefited from it!

The upper body clothes of the supervisor in the pit were torn by Brother Qing just now, and he was exposed by the light of the hand lamp.

I clearly saw a black and sexy butterfly tattooed on Director Guan’s chest.

My first reaction was doubt. Shouldn't a strong man like Director Guan have tattoos of tigers, lions and other animals?

Why do you still have such a strange hobby?

Until, I saw another butterfly on a woman’s arm.

It suddenly dawned on me that these two butterflies were actually a pair!

From that woman's mouth, I also found the whereabouts of a million...

After interviewing the supervisor, Brother Qing talked to me a lot while smoking.

In short, most of them said that I didn't escape in the car. Otherwise, I'm afraid there would be two pitfalls now.

After listening to what Brother Qing said, I felt a huge sense of crisis in my heart.

It's obvious that Zhang Liang is no longer reliable. This guy is just a blind person after seeing money.

Moreover, he has a small belly and is very vindictive.

While walking back with Brother Qing, I thought a lot. It was time to find another supporter for myself.

In other words, it can restrain Zhang Liang.

Xu Bing, huh, she won’t let me die, but she didn’t say she won’t let anyone fuck me.

I don't want my body to be missing a few parts.

After thinking about it, Sister Qiong, the manager of Area C, is an extremely suitable choice.

There were four people when we left the park, and only three people were left when we returned to the park.

When we arrived at the park, Brother Qing asked me to have midnight snack, but I declined politely.

After what happened just now, I still feel nauseous. How can I have the appetite to eat?

He returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the news spread that Manager Guan was killed for stealing money.

I don’t know whose promotion it is, but I’m sure it’s Manager Xu’s share.

In the last few days of this month, Brother Qiang didn’t even come to see me.

To him, using me to bring down the supervisor is all my value.

As for whether to vote for him when electing a supervisor, he may think it is optional.

Twenty-eighth.

A man pushed open the door to my room.

"I've seen you, the fast one."

I looked up and saw that person at a glance. It could be said that I still remembered him.

The man was the one who sent the message last time asking me to see Manager Xu.

Because he ran very fast, I was very impressed with him.

"You, Jiang Bai? Hello, I am Diao Peng."

Diao Peng raised his eyebrows and then introduced himself.

"Brother Peng, I don't know why you came to me this time. Or is it to send a message?"

I stood up, took out a flower and let it pass.

Diao Peng reached out to take the cigarette, lit it and put it in his mouth. He gave me a meaningful look:

"I'll make a long story short. Director Guan has fallen. I hope you can stand with me."

"Huh? Brother Peng, are you also the team leader under Director Guan?"

Diao Peng made me guess his identity with just one sentence.

I frowned, my face full of confusion. Logically speaking, Xu Bing should not let a team leader call me.

And they are under the same supervisor.

Isn't this an overstep? But if the second situation is the same, it can be explained, but it is a bit far-fetched.

"What? You don't know me? That's right, you just got here."

Diao Peng glanced at me, his tone a little surprised, but thinking that I had just arrived, he was relieved.

"You and Brother Qiang?"

I pondered for a moment, and according to what Diao Peng said, he and Brother Qiang should be rivals.

"Opponent, but I can tell you the current situation. There are eight team leaders standing on his side."

"I have three here now. If I count you, there are four."

Diao Peng blew out a smoke ring and told me the current situation.

Logically speaking, Diao Peng is at a definite disadvantage in the current situation.

But I couldn't see a trace of panic on his face, as if he was sure of his position as supervisor.

"Even if I stand on your side, it doesn't seem to be able to change the situation, right?"

I squinted my eyes, and if I voted according to the group leader's vote, it was obvious that I had lost.

"No, if you were on my side, I would be more confident."

Diao Peng stared at me, the corners of his mouth turned up, showing an extremely confident look.

"How to say?"

Seeing how confident Diao Peng is, I feel a little less confident.

If Diao Peng can really become a supervisor, I will definitely make money by supporting him this time.

Brother Qiang, I will not support him.

If he becomes a supervisor, he will not punish me.

Even if he is afraid of Xu Bing behind me, he can still embarrass me with his performance.

If my performance is not up to standard and I am punished, no one can say anything.

"This time the director election will be different from the previous ones. The selection will be based on who has better performance next month, me or Aqiang."

"Now you know why I said that I will be more confident with you joining me, right?"

Diao Peng put his hand on my shoulder, as if he already knew that I would join his side.

Listening to Diao Peng, Brother Qiang will abandon the group leader voting method and run for the supervisor in the way Diao Peng said.

Even a fool can tell that there is something fishy inside, right?

It's clear that the victory is guaranteed, but he still chooses disco. Someone must be putting pressure on him!

It seems that the people behind Diao Peng are indeed not simple!

If we go by the group's performance, maybe it's true...

Diao Peng saw that I didn't speak, so he continued:

"By next month, you can transfer the performance of your group to the card number designated by my group."

"When it's done, I won't treat you badly."

Listening to the pie that Diao Peng drew for me, I didn't consider whether it was true or false.

Compared to Brother Qiang, Diao Peng and I have no enmity, but we can choose to believe in Yibo.

It is also my best choice now.

"Brother Peng, what are you talking about? In fact, if you don't come to me, I will go to you. Who is Brother Qiang? Is he worthy of being your opponent?"

With a smile on my face, I showed my loyalty directly.

"You boy, you have a good sense."

Diao Peng glanced at me emphatically, with the same joy on his face.

They left me an account, added each other’s phone numbers, and left here.

......

"Brother Bai, it's exactly what you said. Brother Qiang came just now and was tricked into leaving."

Leng Feng came to Xiao Xun's room and said to me sitting on the bed.

That's right, I hid in Xiao Xun's room, which was the third room.

I knew Brother Qiang would come to me if he knew the rules of the game had changed.

I'm too lazy to scheming with him. If I do this, he should understand.

I squinted my eyes and looked at the bright cigarette butts. This time, it was really a big gamble.

If Brother Qiang wins, my end will not be pretty.

It looks like next month will be a tough battle...
