After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the male protagonist is not allowed to ge

In the single room of the small hotel where the bedside lamp was on late at night, the two teenagers who were stunned by the accidental discovery of the strange box just now were silent with their own thoughts.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Beinan was obviously a little dazed, and with this strangely colored hair, he looked even more like a hooligan.

Muzhou with his head down was fine, because he didn't make a sound and couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment, but after about ten seconds, before Muzhou opened his mouth to say something, Lu Beinan next to him Speak first.

"Hey, you said that the box is locked like this, and we can't open it to see if there are any documents or other things in it... Fortunately, since I was scolded by you for losing my wallet and ID card last time, I have a long memory. Bring it...how about we get up and send it to the police station tomorrow morning? Let them contact the owner for us?"

Although Lu Beinan usually looks impulsive and irritable, he really wouldn't be too reckless at this time, and he has been used to discussing things with Muzhou since a long time ago, and this special situation is definitely no exception.

And Muzhou, who was staring at those weird combination locks thoughtfully, didn't answer immediately when he said that. After he slowly raised his light-toned eyes, the calm and accustomed boy first nodded. Nodded, and then said to Lu Beinan in a tone that was not different from usual, "Well, it's best not to open other people's things casually, one is privacy issues, and two, if there are specific financial disputes, when the time comes Neither of us can afford it.”

"Well, I know, I know... I guess there must be something important in it, otherwise why are you using so many locks, right? We won't be able to afford it if we lose it and damage it ...Hey, but what should I do with my change of clothes tonight, I even packed my underwear and socks in that box..."

Lu Beinan, who was still sitting at first, covered his eyes irritably, sighed, and then fell down on the bed. When he lifted his feet in a hurry and wanted to kick the box next to his feet, the person standing by the bed Mu Zhou frowned not very obviously, and after calmly taking the box a little further away from Lu Beinan, he bent down and took out some change of clothes and toiletries from his backpack.

And Lu Beinan, who was lazily lying on the bed and refused to move, was taken aback when he saw this. After a while, as long as his expression was a little more serious, the boy who looked handsome still sat up and supported his headband. Grinning a bit ruffiantly, revealing the iconic tiger teeth, he looked at Muzhou and smiled, "Hey, you deliberately brought so many things out today, so you're not ready to go back to spend the night again... ..."

"What do you say?"

Hearing what he said, Mu Zhou just raised his head and glanced at him indifferently, then looked away with a look like you knowingly asking, and went straight to do other things.

And being a little depressed by his fart attitude, seeing Muzhou take off his sweater calmly with his back turned to him, and after the upper body lines that are both youthful and powerful are fully revealed, Lu Bei who stared at him Nan Xian was lost in thought for a while, and he also recalled in his mind the night before the winter holiday this year, the classmates in that class came out to celebrate together, and finally he and Mu Zhou left alone but had an oolong night.

Thinking about it now, although Muzhou had been reluctant to explain to him what was going on in detail, his state that night was really strange.

He obviously didn't have any taboos before, and he actually didn't drink any alcoholic things that night, but according to the description of the people present at the time, Mu Zhou's complexion looked very ugly all night for some reason.

At first, he seemed to be able to maintain his composure and sit there alone without saying a word, but he couldn't bear it anymore and left without saying hello. Muzhou, who was hiding in the toilet and couldn't even stand up to go home, would probably sit there motionless all night in that state.

But when Lu Beinan forcibly opened the door of the toilet cubicle that night, and found Mu Zhou who was completely deaf to the outside world, at that moment, Lu Beinan almost thought that the red-eyed guy who appeared in front of him was not The Muzhou that I am most familiar with and closest to is a cruel and cold-blooded beast that can bite his neck off at any time.

Because of the bloody, horrifying eyes with absolute aggression, it is clearly a dangerous wild carnivorous creature, although later facts have also proved that Muzhou in that state is indeed no better than ordinary wild carnivorous plants where to go.

And as long as I think about how I was ripped off by Muzhou, who was breathing heavily and had red eyes, and sweatpants, and was roughly pressed on the cold and wet floor of the bathroom and almost killed by strangling my neck, I was so angry at that time. After kicking Muzhou several times, Lu Beinan, who finally started yelling with red eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.

Now that I think about it, my courage is really quite big. In that state, Muzhou is no different from going completely crazy. If I kick him so hard, if I completely piss him off, there will be no good fruit to eat.

But Lu Beinan is usually used to it, and his life is in danger, so he directly fought with Muzhou regardless of his friendship. Fortunately, Muzhou himself seemed to be against that kind of state, so he suffered. After kicking Lu Beinan's feet, he became more sober, and then gradually stopped his horrible behavior quite easily.

And after that night, each of them felt an indescribable embarrassment in their hearts. Fortunately, they didn't take the initiative to contact each other in this month.

Although Muzhou later apologized to himself very earnestly and sincerely more than once in private, the atmosphere seemed weird when he was alone, because it involved privacy that Muzhou didn't want to talk about, so it was not easy for Lu Beinan to ask directly. He, but his ghostly appearance of wanting to eat himself that night still left a huge psychological shadow on Lu Beinan's heart, so that now seeing Muzhou's face full of purity and gentleness, he still Inexplicably a little heartbroken.

"Go take a shower."

Lu Beinan, who was lying on the bed thinking about this, was lying on his side playing games with his mobile phone, suddenly heard Mu Zhou calling him by his side, he answered with a sleepy voice, and took the offer he gave. Bath towels, Lu Beinan didn't notice anything, stepped on slippers and went straight into the bathroom.

After watching the people who saw Lu Beinan go in, Mu Zhou, who was wearing pajamas, also lowered his head to look at the box beside the bed. After a while, he looked up again to confirm that Lu Beinan would not come out for the time being, and then called from just now. Muzhou, who had been a little concerned about the existence of this box since the beginning, took it to the bedside, sat on the bedside and tapped his fingers on the combination lock lightly.

The toothbrush with different angles inside the delicate lock made a special sound when the fingers were tapped a few times. The frowning Muzhou slowly retracted his fingers, but he already had a bad feeling in his heart. At the same time, along with the recently awakened sense of smell of wild plants, Muzhou has always been a little indescribably sensitive and...excited to the dangerous smell of the same kind emanating from the box.

Unconsciously recalling the words that the man with deep eyes and gentleness said to him when he saw that person on the hospital bed many years ago, Mu Zhou's originally calm expression became a little complicated.

……

"Uncle Jiang, will I become a monster in the future?"

"No, in fact, there are only three kinds of creatures in this world, animals, plants, and microorganisms. There are no monsters at all."

"But...but I always want to eat those cats, I can't control myself, I always want to trick them with my taste and eat them one by one...I've been thinking this way... ...I don't know what the hell is going on..."

The helpless child with a dazed expression spoke creepy words in such a helpless tone. He didn't dare to say these words to his parents, nor did he dare to say them to his brother, but he was always able to see through the hearts of others when faced with this situation. When he is a man who thinks, he can easily express it without any psychological barriers.

And it seemed that he knew what these changes in him meant, his eyes were a little helpless, but he didn't know how to explain to a child what caused all these complicated reasons. He hooked the corner of his mouth and said in a threatening tone, "Can I tell you a story?"

"What... what story?"

"A story about Mutian Liao's ancestors."

"……ancestor?"

"Well, do you know what was the main source of food for plants like Polygonum arborescens when mammals first appeared on Earth?"

"do not know."

"Leopards, tigers, and many small cats are particularly obsessed with the taste of Polygonum sylvestris, and usually wild Polygonum sylvestris also uses this special method to complete their hunting, but this is mainly because of the natural environment at that time. The environmental struggle is very fierce, so everyone maintains an absolute sense of survival and competition."

"It's the same as some students in your class who don't like that student. In fact, this is very normal, because there is always fierce competition among individuals, but the contradictions between creatures do not always exist. , once the environment changes, the relationship between natural enemies will also disappear. In fact, the same is true for Mutian Polygonum and cats. Although you became a special natural enemy relationship because of environmental problems at the beginning, after the overall natural environment improved, Mutian Polygonum has a greater impact on cats. There is no such danger for animals, at least you haven't really hurt those kittens so far, have you?"

"Your thoughts of being the same as beasts are just because your ancestors left you with some special instincts, which made you gradually have the desire to trap and hunt cats and even humans with cat genes. But the so-called instinct is actually not enough to change a person's essence. After all, the fact that a person like me can still live in this world is already the best rebuttal to this matter. Are you right, Muzhou? "
