sin city twins

As a detective, things can be solved, but human feelings can't.

You Hao always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it. It was an uncomfortable feeling, and he didn't know who to blame.

He recalled the archives that he hastily browsed before leaving the organization. They were very old and old, and some words were already illegible. It was difficult to know what it was just based on the remaining words and phrases.

Everything started to get confusing.

When he walked to the living room, Shen Chuan was still sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, the air was filled with the smell of perfume and tobacco, and the mixture made people feel extraordinarily enchanting.

I have to admit, this man is very attractive.You Hao was a little affected, but he was extremely pure.

He also understands that friends' wives should not play tricks.

At this time, Shen Chuan suddenly turned his head sideways, and his eyes landed on him without any mistakes.

"Uh..." He came out and smiled at him, "Hello."

He is usually a sharp-tongued person, but today he is a little out of order.

Shen Chuan also smiled slightly, his side face with a cigarette in his mouth had perfect lines.

"You are?"

"I'm You Hao. Lu Xuan's—" He walked to the sofa generously and sat next to Shen Chuan, "Good brother."

Slightly raising his eyebrows, Shen Chuan looked at the man beside him, as if chewing on the word "good brother".

"Last time we met in a hurry, I haven't asked you what's your address?" You Hao smiled and reached out to grab the cigarette on the coffee table, and after putting it in his mouth, he realized that it didn't seem to belong to him. He turned his head to look at the person next to him in embarrassment, The latter gave him a "please" look.

"Shen Chuan." After reporting his name, Shen Chuan put the cigarette back into his mouth, took a sip, and changed his hand to hold the cigarette.

Watching his movements, You Hao suddenly seemed to have a picture popping up in his heart, which was very strange.

The movement was a little stiff and he smoked. He began to look at the man in front of him with observation eyes. Shen Chuan's appearance, temperament, and every move, he never let go.

The memory fragments flashed in his mind messily. When he saw Shen Chuan straighten his upper body a little and put out his hand to put out the cigarette in the ashtray, the skillful movements made him feel a sense of familiarity.

"Have we... met somewhere before?" Finally, he asked.

Shen Chuan didn't answer, just looked at him and smiled.

The appearance of the man seemed to prove something, his eyes were deep, and there seemed to be something unfathomable hidden in them.Under the gaze of the other party, You Hao suddenly felt that he was not looking for Lu Xuan today, but for himself.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, one didn't speak, and the other didn't know how to speak.You Hao felt that the atmosphere was starting to become weird, even a little scary, and his usual smirk was completely useless at this time.

Shen Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at You Hao, not paying attention to his gaze.

You Hao heard the sound of swallowing his saliva. "You are—" He didn't know who the other party was at all, but the answer seemed to be coming out, but he still felt that something was missing.

"Your imagination and reasoning ability are very strong, but sometimes it's not practical." Shen Chuan interrupted him, raising the corner of his mouth, "The way to immortality is not as simple as you think."

As soon as these words came out, You Hao stood up from the sofa all of a sudden, subconsciously took two steps back to the side, stared at the man in front of him without blinking, and told himself to calm down in his heart, but it was like A frog stared at by a snake cannot move.

"Impossible..." He shook his head, "Could it be that you—" Too many questions were mixed together, making it impossible for him to understand.

"Don't be nervous." Shen Chuan still had that relaxed expression, "Sit down and we'll talk."

"Who are you?" You Hao frowned tightly.

"Who are you looking for?" he asked back, and then said, "My blood cannot bring the dead back to life."

Although he was still surprised and puzzled, at that moment, You Hao felt that despair attacked him, but in the next second, the eyes staring at Shen Chuan became ruthless again.

Shen Chuan didn't care, picked up the fruit knife on the coffee table, which Lu Xuan was going to use to peel pears, and scratched lightly on the back of his hand, the sharp blade slowly cut through the flesh, and blood oozed out instantly.

This sudden action made You Hao stunned for a moment, just when he didn't understand what Shen Chuan was going to do, a scene that surprised him happened.

The wound several centimeters long on the back of Shen Chuan's hand actually healed slowly by himself!

Like a movie effect, it closes up little by little until there is no trace at all.

"It's just a repairing effect. Under normal circumstances, I really can't die." Raising his hand to his mouth, Shen Chuan licked off the remaining blood on his hand.

"...Who are you?" You Hao asked again.It felt eerily familiar to him, but he still couldn't remember it.

The man in front of him is definitely hiding his secrets. He doesn't know how Lu Xuan knew him, and he doesn't know whether such a person is good or bad by Lu Xuan's side.

"It doesn't matter who I am," Shen Chuan put down the knife in his hand, "The important thing is that I can help you."

"What?" You Hao was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately became excited.

"I can help you. Didn't you want to save your brother?"

"How do you know?" Suddenly, he had the feeling that all his secrets were no longer secrets, and he was completely exposed to this man. "Lu Xuan told you?"

Shen Chuan smiled, "When we're together, apart from going to bed, we basically don't talk about other people."

You Hao couldn't laugh, he just bit his lip.

"How do you want to help me?" Finally, he compromised.He cared more about this than anything else.

"Things are actually not complicated, but the premise is that you must pay the corresponding price."

You Hao hurriedly said: "Whatever you want, I can—"

Shen Chuan raised his hand to stop him, and shook his head. "I'm not interested in taking other people's stuff. It's just that it's something you have to give."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked in front of You Hao, reaching out to lift the latter's chin.The huge pressure made You Hao almost unable to face the man in front of him, but he still held back.

"A person's life is limited. As time goes by, the body's organs will begin to fail slowly, until the breathing stops, the heart stops beating, and it is considered a complete cycle. Now, what you can do is to let the body carry the lives of two people , It’s just that if two people share something, it’s only half for one person, that is to say, you have to give half of your life to him.”

"I can." Although he didn't know what he was going to do, You Hao replied without hesitation.

Shen Chuan lowered his hand slowly, and stopped at the position of the main artery in his neck, "Even if it makes you a container to hold your brother's soul?"

"I would." God knows how long he'd been thinking about saying that.

Shen Chuan looked at him in surprise, "Did you know that there is only this way?"

The so-called blood of the immortal is just an excuse, or an attempt as a last resort.

You Hao did not refute.

"As long as it can keep him alive, I will try any method."

"Hehehe." Smiling, Shen Chuan let go of his hand, "It's really a touching brotherhood."

"When can we start?"

"Don't worry, there is one more thing to explain first." Shen Chuan said: "Everything follows the common sense of reincarnation, and rebirth of a dead person can be said to violate the laws of heaven, so your body and spirit must bear the corresponding burden." consequences."

"You mean I'm going crazy?"

Shen Chuan didn't answer right away, but finally smiled. "Crazy, that's okay."

Lowering his head, You Hao touched his neck.

"You can think again, the time is yours, and when you really decide, you can come to me." After speaking, Shen Chuan straightened his windbreaker, and added at the end, "Lu Xuan will tell you where I live."

"What's your relationship with Lu Xuan?" You Hao asked suddenly.

"Didn't I just say that?" He pulled up the belt of the windbreaker and turned up the collar, he smiled lowly.

"Except for that kind of relationship?"

Shen Chuan looked at him meaningfully, "Ask Lu Xuan."

As if still wanting to fight for something for his friend, You Hao sized up Shen Chuan desperately, observing carefully from head to toe.

"You...is that person?" After the words came out, You Hao didn't know how he had this association.Obviously, from the perspective of age or other parts, there is no such possibility.He has never been able to know the face of the person who appeared in Lu Xuan's dreams countless times. He has seen him before, but after so many years, he can't even recall the memory.

Shen Chuan looked at You Hao, without any guilt on his face.

"That person is already dead."

You Hao couldn't tell if he was lying or not.

"When he asks you, just say so."

"why?"

"If you want me to help you, don't ask why, just do as I tell you."

You Hao has no way to refuse, and he has no conditions to refuse, but he still can't help but ask: "Who the hell are you? Do you know that person?" Now that such a condition is proposed, it is difficult for him not to feel that his seemingly unfounded guess Not entirely unreasonable.

This time Shen Chuan didn't immediately deny it, but only thought for a moment before saying: "It's an old friend. I can only tell you this, and you just need to tell Lu Xuan what I want you to say. Believe me, this is not bad for him. Good thing."

After Lu Xuan entered the door, she didn't see Shen Chuan, only You Hao was sitting on the sofa, seeing him coming back, You Hao raised his head and smiled at him.

"He's gone?" Lu Xuan stepped forward, the house seemed to still have the smell of perfume from Shen Chuan, which made people very uncomfortable.

You Hao didn't speak, and looked down at the smoke left by Shen Chuan on the coffee table.

Sensing that something was wrong with him, Lu Xuan temporarily put down the idea of ​​"invoking the teacher to inquire about the crime", sat next to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I found a way to save Yusa."

Dazed for a moment, he sat up straight, "Did you find that person?"

You Hao shook his head.

"Actually, there may be no one who can live forever."

Lu Xuan frowned.

You Hao smiled wryly, "That Song Xinwen is an example."

"...Then what are you going to do?" Actually, Lu Xuan wanted to ask "Who told you?" Because the first thing he thought of was Shen Chuan.

You Hao looked up at him silently, then lowered his head again.

"You fucking tell me the truth! If you dare to lie to me, I will push your head into the toilet!" He knows You Hao, probably second only to You Hao knows You Zuo.

"I want to use my own body as a container to let Yusa in."

"You said... what?" He felt that he might be hallucinating, or he hoped that he was hallucinating.

You Hao's indifferent expression seemed to be a different person.

"I want to share a body with him and share my life with him."

What a madman! "Where did you get such a messy method?" Lu Xuan gritted her teeth, gradually unable to control her emotions.In his view, this is more absurd than eternal life.

You Hao smiled, with a shy expression like a child's. It was an expression similar to happiness that Lu Xuan had seen before.So he knew that You Hao was not lying, he was really going to do it.

"Aren't you kidding?" He felt as if he had been tricked, not by You Hao, but by his damn fate.

He doesn't want You Hao to do this, although he also wants to help You Zuo, but such behavior will remind him of Qi Shaowu and Qi Shaoyang.

The only difference is that Qi Shaoyang got everything from Qi Shaowu, and what You Hao has to do now is to share everything with You Zuo, his body, his blood, his heartbeat, and even his life.

He's too selfish to watch his only friend make that choice.

But You Hao's eyes told him that he had made up his mind a long time ago, so he kicked the coffee table in front of him irritably, and the sound of the cup and ashtray falling to the ground was extremely harsh.

"You're crazy!" Standing up and yelling, he was so angry that his chest heaved violently, wishing he could slap the man awake.

You Hao shook his head and smiled wryly. "I've been insane for a long time... the day Yuzuo died, I was insane."

"Fuck!" Lu Xuan wanted to kill someone in a rage, so she could only walk back and forth in the room, swearing out rude words non-stop.

You Hao knew that he wanted to beat him up because he really cared about him. "It's okay, Lu Xuan."

"Not as big as your mother!" Lu Xuan yelled again.Putting two souls in one body, let alone whether it is feasible or not, this matter itself is crazy.

This is against the sky!The person most proficient in destiny once said that this will be punished by heaven!

"Do you know what you're talking about? It's not such a crazy way to be fucking crazy! What the hell are you—"

"There is no other way but this!" You Hao shouted suddenly, and then both of them were stunned, staring at each other for a few seconds, before You Hao turned his head away, and stretched out his hand to hold his forehead in pain.

"Lu Xuan, there is no other way. You Zuo can't last long, he will disappear sooner or later, I can't let him go, I can't bear him..."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan felt that everything was over.

"Actually, I thought about going with him." You Hao smiled bitterly, but this smile gave Lu Xuan the idea that this person is no longer the same You Hao as before.

"Using my ability to kill people, I have always been in pain. We are just a group of objects that are useful to some people, and our existence is just a useful tool. I have been committing crimes, and even my existence itself is a crime , From the time I knew how to use my own power, I was doomed to go to hell! I easily destroy the hearts of others, and let them see their dead relatives, lovers, friends, and even enemies in dreams, causing them pain.”

Every day, he would dream of those people crying to him.

"Youzuo left, and I feel that I am missing a large part, and the whole person is incomplete. Even if I pretend to be fine and live as usual, but the more I do this, the more painful I am, and I can no longer force myself. I can't hold on anymore...I'm sorry, Lu Xuan, I never did anything for him, now I just want him to be by my side, I'm sorry..."

After Lu Xuan listened quietly, her calm emotions gradually began to go to another extreme, as dead as if she had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

In the end, he replied as if he had lost all hope, "You didn't feel sorry for me, you just felt sorry for yourself."

You Hao looked at him for a while, hesitated, and finally said it out.

"Lu Xuan, the person you are looking for is dead."

Lu Xuan froze for a moment, but hadn't recovered from the previous topic.

"He's dead, don't continue to search, find a good place to settle down."

This persuasion came inexplicably, Lu Xuan narrowed her eyes. "how do you know?"

"Even if he is not dead, how many years can you look for him?" You Hao didn't answer, "You can't live like this for the rest of your life, you have to live for yourself."

"Who told you?" Taking a deep breath, Lu Xuan looked at him persistently.He wanted to look calmer, but his tone was too cold.

You Hao still didn't answer, just stood up and waved to him.

After hesitating for a second, Lu Xuan still walked over.

"Lu Xuan..." You Hao stretched out his arms to hug him, and buried his head on his shoulder.

Lu Xuan didn't move, this hug seemed to contain everything.

You Hao is already his friend, maybe the only one, their friendship is far deeper than what they imagined.

I remember that year, he was lying on the ground covered in blood, and You Hao sat next to him, with only a little less blood on his body than him.

"Brother, we may die here this time. Is this considered martyrdom?"

He didn't answer, although he really wanted to swear in return for his boredom, but he didn't have the energy.

Then in a trance, something was stuffed into his mouth suddenly, it was smoke.

At this time, smoke unexpectedly makes people sober.

"Hold on a little longer, someone will come soon. Although you look good, I still want to live a few more years."

He took a puff of the cigarette with great effort, and even his lungs hurt a little, but the feeling of inhaling the smoke into his lungs was much better than the pain.After gaining some strength, he raised his head and looked at You Hao above his head.

With his back to the sun, he couldn't see his face clearly, only the corners of his smiling mouth and white teeth could be vaguely seen.This smile is not bad, it makes him suddenly want to live——

There was a knock on the door, and the person inside said "Come in".

Before entering the door, You Hao was still a little nervous, but after opening the door, he calmed down.

"Have you decided?" Shen Chuan flipped through the documents in his hand without raising his head.

You Hao nodded, looking tired but calm.

"What about Yusa's body?"

Closing the document in his hand and putting it aside, Shen Chuan leaned back on the back of the chair, "Don't think about that. Remember? He doesn't need a body anymore, you will be his new body."

After blinking, You Hao raised the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah..." Everything has to start all over again.

The red cinnabar was on Shen Chuan's fingertips, and You Hao knelt on the ground naked. Shen Chuan drew various runes and patterns on his back. Obviously he didn't use any strength, but every time he drew, You Hao felt I felt a piercing pain, and soon, a thin layer of sweat appeared on my forehead.

When it was about to end, Shen Chuan suddenly said: "You may forget some things later, so if there is anything you want to remember, you might as well tell me now, and I will pass it on to you when you wake up."

You Hao thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head.

"No need." There is nothing to forget.

Shen Chuan looked at him for a while, didn't say anything, and continued to write the rest of the spell.

"Oh!" This time the pain was worse than before, You Hao almost groaned, his back seemed to be burned, those patterns and words seemed to seep into his flesh.

"Finally, is there anything else you want to say?" When Shen Chuan walked in front of him, he realized that the man's fingertips were no longer cinnabar, but his blood.

But the bleeding wound quickly disappeared.

You Hao lowered his head and said something softly. "Lu Xuan, I'm sorry..."

He likes Lu Xuan, which has already surpassed the general liking.

Shen Chuan lowered his eyes and put his hands on his head, "Very well, I know there are still people who are sorry, explaining that there are still reasons to live in this world."

"Will we be together forever?" You Hao raised his head and asked.

Shen Chuan looked at him and smiled, and patted his head as if to comfort him.

A familiar feeling suddenly rushed into You Hao's mind, the overlapping of memory and the picture in front of him made his eyes finally wet.

At this second, he realized what he was doing, but he didn't regret it at all.

"Are you—" the words that were about to be asked stopped abruptly, replaced by a scream, and a feeling that was hundreds of times more painful than before swept across in an instant.

Shen Chuan looked indifferently at the young man convulsing in pain on the ground, watching the red mark on his body penetrate little by little, and seemed to be corroding his body, until the roar became hoarse, and the expression on his face began to distort, like It is generally broken.

Maybe only he knows how painful he is, but this is the price and it is fair.

You Hao's eyes widened, his mouth made a sound like vomiting, and his ten fingers grabbed the floor tightly, leaving bloodstains.His chest was rumbling, as if something was going to come out of it.

Tears rolled down his cheeks, but not just from the pain.

Closing his eyes, Shen Chuan sighed, and with a flick of his fingers, flames shot up on the clean floor instantly, enveloping You Hao.

In the light of the flames, the person whose body was twisted slowly fell down.

Shen Chuan lowered his head, rubbed the acupuncture point between his eyes, and sighed again.
