I conquer the end of the world with slippers

It was because of guessing that such a thing would happen that Cheng Fanglin kept preventing Hao Ming from entering the sight of these people.

But what should have happened still happened, and the scene was even more out of control than he imagined.

He frowned, worried that the impact of the woman's words on Hao Ming would lead to another personality in him, so he subconsciously looked in Hao Ming's direction.

In the end, I saw Hao Ming crying in a daze.

At that moment, Cheng Fanglin's mind went blank, and in the next second, he almost instinctively pushed the woman in front of him away, turned around and rushed towards Hao Ming!

He hugged Hao Ming into his arms, and comforted him by holding the back of his head: "It's okay, don't think too much. Hao Ming, do you hear me? Don't think too much."

In his impression, Hao Ming has always been an obedient, optimistic and positive child.

His self-regulation ability is very strong, no matter how lost or injured, he will quickly cheer up.

At best it is informal, at worst it is heartless.

So, for two whole years, Cheng Fanglin never saw Hao Ming cry.

So, seeing him crying suddenly, Cheng Fanglin's whole heart was in a mess.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized clearly that he had feelings for Hao Ming.

Even if it was just to monitor him at first, to prevent his second personality from making trouble.But after all, he had been raised for two full years, so he was more or less affectionate.

"Let's go." After Cheng Fanglin said this word, he pulled Hao Ming and walked downstairs.

And at this moment, the woman came back to think about it, and said to Chi Yao: "You said you would find someone to monitor him, and that's how you did it?! Why didn't you lock him up? Ah?!"

Chi Yao caught a glimpse of Cheng Fanglin pulling Hao Ming down from the corner of his eyes. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and explained to the woman in front of him helplessly: "I said at the time that Hao Ming's situation is quite special. He lost his memory of committing the crime. I'll ask the doctor Helped identify his injuries and mental condition, and ruled out the possibility of amnesia caused by external force, because it has not been possible to determine whether he is suffering from a mental illness, so he has not been able to convict him..."

"I don't care! I don't want to hear so much! Let me ask you, why is he not punished by the law for clearly killing someone?! Why can he get away with it?!"

"..."

Okay, Chi Yao felt that what he just said was in vain.

On the other side, when Cheng Fanglin pulled Hao Ming out of the restaurant, Hao Ming was completely numb.

Cheng Fanglin turned to face him, raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help but frown thinking of the scene just now.

I never dreamed that the secret I had concealed for two years would be revealed in front of Hao Ming in this way.

If he had known this earlier, he might as well have told him himself.

"Hao Ming, look at me." Cheng Fanglin said.

Hao Ming's thoughts are very confused now, and even his consciousness is sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, but when he heard Cheng Fanglin's voice, he still instinctively did as he said.

He turned his eyes to Cheng Fanglin's face to meet him, but his eyes couldn't focus, so that he couldn't see Cheng Fanglin's expression at the moment.

But he could still hear Cheng Fanglin's voice, which was more gentle and careful than ever.

"As I said, you are not him, and you don't need to be responsible for any of his actions. The murderer is he, not you, and has nothing to do with you. You haven't done anything wrong."

"But I'm in the same body as a murderer." Hao Ming responded with a blank face and a very calm tone.

No, it's more hollow than calm.

This is the truth, so Cheng Fanglin couldn't refute it, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he could only hold him in his arms and stroke his head.

However, he still underestimated Hao Ming's self-regulation ability.

To be precise, this is not entirely Hao Ming's adjustment ability.

One second he was still in a state of complicated emotions and a huge shock, but the next second, all his emotions receded like a tide, as if being absorbed by a black hole.

He blinked, and when he spoke again, his voice was no longer empty, and his expression was no longer dull: "Brother Cheng, have I really killed someone?"

"No." Cheng Fanglin blurted out.

Hao Ming was happy for a moment, and then realized... "No, what I mean is, has Ling assassinated anyone?"

This time, Cheng Fanglin did not answer.

"Okay." Hao Ming knew the answer, but he still couldn't believe it, "I don't know what to say, but I always feel that he didn't kill anyone—I have this feeling..."

Hao Ming really didn't know how to describe his feeling. Although he couldn't feel that strong emotion at the moment, he clearly remembered what was contained in that emotion when it swept over.

He felt that compared to a murderer, it was more like the emotion of a person who has been innocently wronged.

Cheng Fanglin just pretended that he was unwilling to accept this fact: "Well, if you feel that way, then just treat it like this. In fact, there is no conviction yet."

"What happened two years ago?" This is not the first time Hao Ming asked this question, but now he is more eager than ever to know the answer to this question.

He couldn't take it anymore.

Compared with the terrible facts, "not knowing how terrible it is" is what scares him the most.

"Brother Cheng, tell me, what did I do two years ago? What did Ling An do?" Hao Ming grabbed Cheng Fanglin's clothes, his knuckles turned white because of too much force, "Please tell me ..."

Cheng Fanglin looked at him with complicated emotions, hesitated to speak twice, and finally sighed...then said: "Okay, I'll tell you."

Cheng Fanglin took Hao Ming to the milk tea shop next door to the restaurant, picked up a fallen bar chair, wiped the dust on it, pulled Hao Ming to sit down, then pressed his shoulder and said: "First of all, I am not the person involved. , Everything I know is obtained through the analysis of witnesses and physical evidence, and it may not be the whole truth of this matter, you must be clear about this."

"Yeah." Hao Ming nodded, "It's okay, brother Cheng, don't worry."

He felt that there was no answer that could be more terrifying than he imagined at this moment.

Seeing that he was really ready, Cheng Fanglin sighed secretly again, and finally said with determination: "About 14 years ago, when you were 5 years old, you were adopted by the Hao family from an orphanage and changed your name to Hao Ming. Ling An is your original name."

Hao Ming: "..." Do you want to start talking about it so early?

But that's okay, these are all he wants to know.

Cheng Fanglin: "The dean thinks your name has a bad meaning, and has never called you that. So, you probably didn't know this name. I don't know why your other personality would know."

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, before the Hao family adopted you, they already had a child, that is the girl you just met. Her name is Hao Xin, and she is only a few months older than you."

"The reason why they decided to adopt you is because Hao Xin's mother's physical condition did not allow her to conceive after giving birth to Hao Xin, but she really wanted a son. In short, you were taken into the Hao family after you were 5 years old. "

"It happened two years ago, when you were 17."

Finally came to the point, because he was too nervous, Hao Ming subconsciously held his breath.

Cheng Fanglin also paused before continuing: "Hao Xin's mother, who thought it was impossible to conceive again, accidentally became pregnant with a boy, and gave birth smoothly, named Hao Xi—yes, she died in this incident victim. He died just under the full moon."

"Hao Xin was the first witness. She said that when she entered Hao Xi's room, she saw a knife in your hand, and the knife was covered with blood." Cheng Fanglin observed Hao Ming's expression while talking. Seeing that he didn't have any major mood swings, he continued, "Hao Xin told her parents about this. After checking Hao Xi's situation, her parents found that he was dead."

"The Haos and his wife were not allowed to dissect Hao Xi's body, so we couldn't collect further evidence, but the forensic doctor can also judge based on the trauma and the murder weapon. Hao Xi died of a knife wound. He was stabbed in the heart with a fruit knife. , Killed by one blow, there is no possibility of accident, and the possibility of manslaughter is also ruled out, it is murder."

Hao Ming: "..."

"According to the witnesses—the whole family of Hao Xi identified you as the murderer. According to the physical evidence—except for Hao Xi's blood, only your fingerprints were found on the murder weapon. So originally, as long as you plead guilty, you can be directly convicted, but... "

Cheng Fanglin paused at this point, and Hao Ming already guessed what he would say next: "I lost my memory."

"Yes." Cheng Fanglin nodded, "When you were sent to the police station, you were severely injured by the Hao couple, and you don't remember anything after you regained consciousness."

Hao Ming: "..." He even received a beating.

Cheng Fanglin: "If you just forget what happened before the injury, it can be judged as a concussion. But you are not. You have forgotten everything in the past 17 years, and you don't even remember your own name. This is why this case will be delayed. The main reason it’s been so long — because it’s impossible to tell if you’re consciously killing someone or if you’re completely unable to recognize or control your actions. Not even 100% sure you killed someone.”

"Because of your amnesia, we haven't even been able to find out your motive for killing, and there are doubts about the modus operandi—why did you pull out the knife that was inserted|into it?"

Now Hao Ming obviously doesn't know the answer.

"It can't be ruled out that their family committed the crime and beat you until you lost your memory and let you take the blame, although this possibility is very small."

Indeed, how could he be willing to kill his own son who was finally born...

"Originally, the result of our discussion was to force you to be sent to a medical institution for treatment." Cheng Fanglin said, "But because the case is still suspicious, all possibilities cannot be ruled out, and we cannot convict you based on the principle of innocence. , so it cannot be enforced. But if you are allowed to go back with the Hao family... First of all, they will not take you back, and secondly, even if they are willing, they will not be able to treat you kindly after taking you back. "

Hao Ming sighed, which is understandable.

No one would be willing to take a person who killed his own son back to raise him... Not to mention that this person was adopted and had no blood relationship with him.

"So, with your consent, the Hao family agreed with the orphanage where you were originally to terminate the adoption relationship with you, and I will accept it." Cheng Fanglin said.

Hao Ming was stunned for a moment, and immediately caught the point: "With my consent?"

"Yes." Cheng Fanglin responded, knowing why he was surprised, "You don't have this memory."

Hao Ming: "So who was I... at that time?"

"I don't know." Cheng Fanglin replied these three words, and then continued to add, "The day after the interrogation, you forgot about the interrogation. The day after I came home, you terminated the relationship with the Hao family You forgot about it—that is to say, during that time, instead of recovering any memory, you continued to lose your memory. This is the first time I have encountered this situation, and I can’t give any more professional explanation.”

After saying this, Cheng Fanglin looked at Hao Ming with a complicated expression for a while, then lowered his voice, almost talking to himself: "Perhaps, when you wake up tomorrow, you will forget all about what happened today Bar……"

He spoke very softly, but Hao Ming heard it verbatim, and couldn't help but shiver.

He thought he was just another person living in his body.

But now, he realizes that's not the case—that person not only lives in his body, but also seems to eat his memory.

Is this the result of his self-preservation?

But this kind of protection is not what he wants!

What he wanted was to know everything and face it!

[Ling An, can you share all your memories with me? 】Hao Ming said in his heart, 【I will bear for you what you cannot bear!The feeling of not knowing anything is really uncomfortable.Listen to me, give me all your memories, and I will bear all this for you!Believe me, I can! 】

He is serious - he is serious about trying to talk to Ling An, and he is also serious about wanting to bear what happened back then for him.

The main reason is that he doesn't want to be passive like this anymore - he is obviously the person involved, but he doesn't know anything, he can only listen to what others say, and can't judge the truth.

He repeated these words over and over again in his heart, trying to make Ling An understand that he could really do it!

Maybe it was because he was too serious and urgent this time, or maybe it was because the same words had circulated in his mind too many times, making Ling An feel annoyed.

In short, when Hao Ming repeated it for the Nth time, his head became dizzy and he almost fell off the bar stool.

"Hao Ming?!" Cheng Fanglin quickly reached out to help, and Hao Ming fell into his arms.

Cheng Fanglin hugged Hao Ming's body and wanted to ask him what's wrong, but before he could ask, he found that he had completely lost consciousness.

At that moment, Cheng Fanglin suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, before he was ready, Hao Ming, who had just lost consciousness, opened his eyes again.

There was not a trace of luster in the pitch-black eyes.

Facing his emotionless gaze, Cheng Fanglin got goosebumps all over his body.

In the next second, "Hao Ming" pushed him away, stood up on his own, then turned his head to look at the void outside the milk tea shop, and said five words expressionlessly: "You can fart."
