in the hotel.

"At about 13:[-] this afternoon, a large-scale sandstorm occurred in the mountains and forests in the southwest suburbs of this city. The reason is unknown, and it was accompanied by an unknown loud noise, which sounded like the roar of wild animals. The police have sealed off the scene and the situation is under investigation. No casualties have been found so far. Please Citizens should pay attention to personal safety, travel carefully, and reduce losses caused by sandstorms.”

Guo Changcheng glanced at the TV that was broadcasting today's headlines, and nodded.

He held the phone respectfully with both hands, straightened his back, and obediently listened to the lecture on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, okay, yes... no, Zhao Chu, we didn't expect such a big movement..."

"No, no, we weren't photographed. Oh no...in fact, a reporter photographed it, and we won't delete it no matter how much we persuade you..."

His voice was inexplicably guilty, and he glanced at the person who was lying on the sofa looking at the ceiling and didn't know what he was thinking.

"But Brother Chu...accidentally...crushed his video camera."

There was "..." on the phone for a second.

After listening to Zhao Yunlan's nagging for almost half an hour, Guo Changcheng finally hung up the phone with a sigh of relief. "Brother Chu, Chu Zhao told us to wait for him. They will arrive as early as the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

But Chu Shuzhi was still looking at the ceiling with his arm on his pillow, didn't respond, and his posture didn't change.Guo Changcheng went to him and knelt down, worriedly tested the temperature of his forehead with the back of his hand.

Chu Shuzhi absently grasped the hand on his forehead, and slowly shifted his gaze to him, looking in a trance.

"Brother Chu, are you really not injured?" Guo Changcheng frowned.

"...Huh?" Chu Shuzhi looked at him, but didn't seem to be looking at him, and didn't listen to what he asked at all.

Guo Changcheng was startled, and hurried to Chu Shuzhi's ear, calling out cautiously, "Brother Chu, Brother Chu, can you still hear me now?"

Chu Shuzhi was stimulated by the hot breath he exhaled, and with a "tsk", subconsciously turned his head, but was forcefully pushed back by holding his face with two hands, only to see an enlarged face close to him.

"?!" What are you doing?Playing hooligans?

But seeing Guo Changcheng barely stopped in front of his eyes, holding his face and staring at him carefully, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

It was too close, Chu Shuzhi thought, he could see the capillaries under the child's white skin, and count the flickering eyelashes on his eyes.

The corpse king's body tensed slightly, and his knees bent a little imperceptibly.

Guo Changcheng held his face like this for a while, and then spoke nervously.

"Brother Chu... Did you... have a concussion from the ghost screaming? Can you still recognize me? Who am I?"

"..."

Chu Shuzhi felt that he was so nervous because his brain was flooded.He roughly pushed the man to the ground and said, "You are an idiot."

Your zombies are the ones who get concussions.

Guo Changcheng was still worrying and nagging, Brother Chu, are you really okay? If you have something to say, you must say oh Yunyun, so Chu Shuzhi was thrown back into the house by the collar.

The child was worried, and would sneak out every few minutes to check. After confirming that he was still on the sofa, he went in suspiciously.

When I came out for the fifth time, I was finally slapped firmly on the face by a pillow, and I no longer dared to dangle in front of Chu Shuzhi.

forty,

The living room was so quiet that only the sound of the clock turning was left.

The man lying on the sofa is like a silent statue, motionless, staring at the ceiling, blending with the surrounding background.Tiny red bloodshots had gradually appeared in his eyes, but he still didn't blink.

After a long time, the man shivered slightly, and then again.

click.Like a crack in the calm mask, and then collapsed all the way to the end.

He could no longer maintain the casual look on his face.

In fact, Chu Shuzhi has been having a splitting headache.

During the day, he was drawn into the memory of the dead by the ghost howling, and through the ghost's eyes, he saw that the evil star who appeared here thousands of years ago had a face exactly like him.From then on, half of his eyes and ears were the desperate screams of thousands of people before they died, and half were the heart-piercing screams of the dead souls.

Qian Chen's memory was intermittent and fuzzy, but the moment he saw the hell on earth, there was a bloodthirsty emotion deep in his heart, as if the seal had been opened, and instantly drowned him.

kill them all!Kill them all!Not one left!

People in the world don't distinguish between good and evil, and heaven and earth don't distinguish between turbidity and turbidity. I have saved thousands of lives, and I want you all to return them today!

Seeing those people die tragically in front of him one by one, he suddenly felt a violent pleasure.The memories of the past have been erased, but the monstrous hatred still remains.Chu Shuzhi could no longer doubt that the shadows in those people's eyes before they died were really him.

Only then did he understand where the hatred and pleasure came from when he had just turned into a corpse and skinned the yellow-mouthed child who dug his tomb with cramps.

At that time, his consciousness was not very clear, and the only thought in his mind was, the world owes me, blood debts, if you touch me, pull out the bones and bleed to pay back.

Exactly the same as it was thousands of years ago.

Afterwards, he gradually returned to the emotions and desires of human beings. Only then did he feel remorse and voluntarily wore the shackle of meritorious deeds for 300 years.

He thought that his sins had been atoned for, he had let go of the shackles of merit, and met Guo Changcheng again, and the world that was once ashes had regained light.Chu Shuzhi has always despised the heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and recently he couldn't help but often think that fate actually treats him well.Although the child is ruthless and desireless, he is content to stand silently beside the child.

He thought that he could accompany him through this short life of a mortal, and then, in the next life, he might be able to find him again and watch him grow from a babbling child to a vigorous young man, and finally become a young man. Into a gray-haired old man.

He has a long time, and he can always be with the children, living life after life.If he doesn't like it, don't bother him, just watch it from a distance.Guo Changcheng guards the common people in reincarnation, and he guards Guo Changcheng outside reincarnation.

However, it turned out that he never knew that his crimes were far from being paid off in 300 years.

Thousands of ghosts in his mind were screaming for his life.They were imprisoned under the spell of darkness for thousands of years. Their grievances had no solution, and they had no way to reincarnate. Those who killed them could return to the world. How could people not resent or hate.

You came!You came!The dead souls screamed mistyly and mournfully, it has been 1000 years, when will your blood debt be repaid! !

In the next second, he seemed to see the child's cold body thrown on the ground, and there was a complaint of lack of temperature in his ears.

"You don't even let go of a young man who saved you."

Chu Shuzhi felt a suffocating deep despair.

... the Great Wall ... Guo Xin ...

Why in your previous life, your name was also engraved on that cold bamboo slip, and you will be buried here forever.Could it be that the tens of millions of blood debts on my body, among the blood on my hands, also belong to you.

In the darkness, the man gritted his teeth and raised an arm to cover his face.

... I thought that I was qualified to guard you.

41,

Guo Changcheng slept very restlessly.When I woke up suddenly, I saw that it was still dark outside the window, and it was still midnight.

He sat on the bed for a while, then put on his slippers and opened the door lightly.

The living room didn't turn on the light, and in the darkness, Chu Shuzhi could be faintly seen sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Guo Changcheng walked over lightly, but before he got there, the man opened his eyes as if he heard something.

His eyes were clear, without sleepiness at all, and his eyes were even bloodshot. At first glance, his pupils seemed to be scarlet, shining a terrifying color in the dark night.

Guo Changcheng was taken aback, and subconsciously hugged the pillow in front of him tightly.He leaned forward, tugged him uneasily, and said worriedly: "Brother Chu, what's wrong with you...it's already so late, why don't you go back to your room to sleep."

Chu Shuzhi just shook his head, his tone was calm. "It's nothing, I'll be back in a while."

Guo Changcheng looked at him carefully, trying to see some clues from his expression, but Chu Shuzhi seemed to be wearing a calm mask. "Did you still get shocked during the day? Are you uncomfortable and can't sleep?"

"It's not uncomfortable, don't worry."

"But your eyes look so red..."

"It's just that I haven't had a good rest in the past two days. You go back to sleep first, I will go into the room and sleep in a while."

"Brother Chu..."

"Go back to sleep."

No matter how he asked, Chu Shuzhi repeated those few sentences.Guo Changcheng finally remained silent.

Chu Shuzhi waited for a while, but there was no sound of footsteps going back, so he opened his eyes strangely and looked again.

Guo Changcheng was still standing where he was, his expression was unclear in the darkness, but he could vaguely see that his eyes were red, and the pillow in his hand was wrinkled.

"What's wrong with you..." Chu Shuzhi realized something was wrong after a while.

The child lowered his head, standing not far away, his figure was lonely, like an abandoned puppy.

He squeezed out a few words through his teeth. "Brother Chu... Am I really... so useless..."

"You just... don't want to tell me anything..."

Chu Shuzhi was a little stunned and speechless for a moment.

Guo Changcheng choked up, his soft voice tinged with a strong nasal sound. "I know I'm stupid and I can't help, but you're like this... I'm worried."

"I don't know what to do... You have looked very bad since you came back, but you didn't say anything. Seeing that you are suffering, I want to feel bad for you, but you are not even willing to tell what's wrong with you I."

Looking at the child who was exuding sadness all over his body, Chu Shuzhi's eyes were changing for a while, but he didn't know what to say.

He was silent for a while, and only whispered, "Idiot, what are you talking about, I'm fine."

After Guo Changcheng heard this, he couldn't even get angry, but felt even more aggrieved.

He thought self-defeatingly, if anyone in the special mediation office and Chu Shuzhi's partner were replaced now, Brother Chu would rely on them to some extent, only himself, like a waste, Chu Shuzhi would never have any expectations of him.

"Is it... If Zhao Chu or Mr. Shen is by your side now instead of me, you will tell them..." Guo Changcheng said disheartened.He who was always soft-spoken turned out to be mean. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he just couldn't restrain himself.

"..."

"As for me, I can only watch you feel uncomfortable, but I can't do anything."

"..."

Every day, every day, he worked hard to make himself stronger, stronger, he knew that he was useless, but he just wanted to stand beside that person, and he didn't want him to get hurt again.He has been chasing him, but unfortunately he can't catch up.

The more he spoke, the more wronged he became, his eyes were blurred by water vapor, and it was dense. "...In the past few days, you have always called someone's name in your dreams. I can't hear you clearly, but this morning, you even cried when you woke up."

"..."

stop.stop.Guo Changcheng felt that he should not ask any more questions, since he had no position to question him.He clutched the pillow tightly, shaking his whole body, but he still couldn't stop talking.

"...Who are you calling...the person who made you care so much..."

No one answered him, only the sound of pointers on the wall moving.

After a long time, he actually heard Chu Shuzhi chuckle.

Guo Changcheng felt his head buzzing, and was finally annoyed by the man's repeated contemptuous attitude. He raised his head suddenly, and stared fiercely at him with red eyes, like a cat whose hair has exploded.

"You... what are you laughing at! What's so funny!"

The man looked at him with the corner of his mouth curled up, his eyes seemed to be joking, helpless, or something else.

He said softly: "You look like this, I almost think you are jealous."

Guo Changcheng's eyes widened in astonishment, never expecting him to say such a thing.The anger on his face and the tears in the corners of his eyes didn't even have time to disappear, and his expression looked very funny.

"What... what?"

But what made him more at a loss was still to come.

Chu Shuzhi slowly suppressed his smile, pursed his lips and looked straight at him, his eyes were like a deep pool, filled with too many emotions, bottomless.

"I said, if you are like this, I would think that you are in love with me again."

42,

There was a long, unspeakable silence.

Guo Changcheng's brain was blank for a while, and his thinking ability was like an old machine, swinging and running again.

He looked at Chu Shuzhi, thinking blankly.

Of course I... like you.

Seeing you suffer, I'm so worried.When you get hurt, I wish I could get hurt for you.I will be very concerned about your affairs.I want to be beside you, not just behind you.I think you can rely on me one day.

...Of course I like you.

But he moved his lips, unable to make any sound.He couldn't nod, couldn't say anything.

He knew that Chu Shuzhi was not asking this.

He didn't have the kind of liking that Chu Shuzhi asked, and he won't have it in the future.

Chu Shuzhi just watched him quietly, as if waiting for some answer, but as if he was waiting for nothing, finally Chu Shuzhi looked away.

The man exhaled lightly, releasing the tension and restraint from his whole body, revealing a trace of defenseless fragility.

"Great Wall...my head hurts so much." He closed his eyes and said softly, his voice hoarse.

Guo Changcheng was stabbed by these words, and his heart immediately felt sore and aching. All the messy thoughts just now were thrown away, and only the tired look of that person was left in his eyes.

His hand hesitated in mid-air for a long time with no place to put it, and finally he supported Chu Shuzhi's shoulder, and said anxiously: "Then...then let's go to the hospital, shall we..."

"No, you can press it for me, okay?"

Chu Shuzhi shook his head, his voice was still so soft, not at all domineering and domineering as usual, but it seemed to be weakly begging.

Of course Guo Changcheng listened to him in everything.A few minutes ago, he was still complaining that the man drew a line between himself and him to keep him out, but now seeing how weak he was, he realized that he couldn't bear it at all.

Chu Shuzhi pulled him to sit down on the side of the sofa, then lay down on his back, with his eyes closed as a pillow on his lap.He no longer tried to be calm, his brows were tightly frowned, and the thin lip lines were also drawn together, as if enduring the pain and torture.

Guo Changcheng gently pressed his temple, massaged it carefully, looked down at the person in his arms, and asked softly, "Will this be better?"

"Well, much better."

"Then you, try to sleep for a while, okay, I'll be here with you."

"Yeah." The man replied, lying quietly in his arms, without making a sound.

Guo Changcheng thought that he still couldn't fall asleep, but after a while, Chu Shuzhi's breathing gradually calmed down, his brows were still furrowed, but he really fell asleep.The sleeping person shrank his legs unconsciously, and turned his head toward his embrace, as if he was instinctively leaning toward a warm place.

There was fatigue between his brows, which made the already sharp facial features even thinner and deeper.Guo Changcheng kept looking down at him, his hands were more gentle and cherished.

The moonlight outside the window was hidden by thin clouds, and the two people on the sofa were shrouded in darkness.Guo Changcheng quietly listened to Chu Shuzhi's rising and falling breathing, and slowly calmed down, but his eyes did not move away from the man's face for a moment.

He didn't realize how bitter and nostalgic his gaze was when he looked at that person.
