black eden

Du Yu has lived a regular three-point and one-line life these days, school-cake room-apartment.

After the incident with Isaac last time, the owner of the bakery no longer made things difficult for him, and even allowed him to leave work early and go back to review the midterm exam, which was a blessing in disguise.

But Du Yu couldn't lift his spirits all the time.

Every time I go back to the apartment and look at the locked anti-theft door opposite, I feel a chill in my heart.

Every night when I go to sleep, my ears are terribly quiet, and I can’t help but think of the night I spent in the underground nightclub. My thoughts will always be bound by Theon’s wild face, and Theon’s words the next morning: "I Wan, I did this because I like you!"

The word "like" is too extravagant for Du Yu.

He changed from a mafia boss to an ordinary Asian boy, such an illogical thing, Sean actually knew it early on, then everything Sean said and did might be a trap woven to play with him.

Du Yu couldn't believe it easily.

It's been cloudy this afternoon, like it's going to rain.

After Du Yu came out of the bakery, he walked quickly all the way, but still caught up with the pouring rain.With his schoolbag on, he ran into the apartment before getting drenched.

"You didn't bring an umbrella?" Zhao Wen, the apartment manager, poked her head out and looked at him.

"I forgot to bring it."

Du Yu shook off the drops of water from his hair. When he passed by the window, Zhao Wen called to him, and immediately handed him a cup of hot tea, "Warm yourself first, don't catch a cold!"

The disposable paper cup printed with cartoon patterns was emitting a faint white gas. Du Yu took the cup and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"You're welcome!" Zhao Wen sat by the window and looked up at him, "The boy across from you moved away, did you know that?"

Du Yu froze for a moment, then nodded.

But Zhao Wen's eyes lit up, and she continued: "But today there is a new tenant, you should really see him, it's so interesting!"

"...is there a smell?" Du Yu didn't realize it for a moment.

"It's just very masculine!" Zhao Wen smiled brightly, "Not only is he good-looking, but he is also a university professor, with elegant manners and generous conversation, which almost made me turn back into a nymphomaniac!"

Du Yu's hand holding the paper cup visibly stiffened, and after a long time, he asked slowly, "His...what's his name?"

"Let me take a look," Zhao Wen flipped through the registration booklet, "Well... Sean Alberta, that's right, this is it."

Du Yu didn't speak any more, he finished his tea quietly, then turned and went upstairs.

Here it is again, Theon always haunts him inexplicably.It's fine at school, but now it's entangled in the place where he lives. Apart from using "playing" to describe Xi En's approach, Du Yu can't think of other words.

The opposite door was open, and the hum of the vacuum cleaner could be heard before approaching.

Du Yu chose to ignore the movement on the other side, took out the key to open the door, and only hoped to get into the house before Xi En found him.But soon, the sound of the vacuum cleaner stopped.

"Du Yu." It was replaced by Theon's steady voice.

Du Yu ignored him, and turned the key to open the door. After entering, he whispered "Hello, Professor", but closed the door without looking at him.

The rain outside the window gradually lightened, and the wind still blew the branches rustling.

Du Yu began to read after taking a hot bath. The one-meter-long coffee table was filled with legal books. He was buried in the pile of books, as if he was submerged, but he couldn't see anything.

Xi En was on the opposite side, Du Yu couldn't figure out what he was going to do?What do you want from him?

There was a slight movement at the door. Du Yu looked up and saw a note slipping in from the bottom of the door.

He ignored it, continued to flip through a few pages of the book, and then walked slowly over to pick up the note.

There are only two words written on it - "power on".

Du Yu rolled his eyes, threw the note on the shoe cabinet, and sat back to continue reading.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the power went out.

The chandelier above the head went out with a "snap", and the surrounding area was pitch black.

Du Yu huddled in front of the coffee table, stayed there for a while, then groped to the door, opened the door, found that the corridor was also dark, picked up the flashlight and walked to the first floor.

"The fuse of the main gate is blown!"

Zhao Wen squatted in front of the large electric box, saw the light coming down from upstairs, and cried out in distress.

"Do you need help?" Du Yu asked.

"Oh, it's you..." Zhao Wen stood up and shook her head, "There is no spare fuse, I have to call an electrician, you go back to the room and wait!"

Du Yu took a flashlight to light the box, "How long will it take?"

"Quickly half an hour."

"Oh..." Du Yu sighed silently in her heart, and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to study.

When they returned to the third floor, a beam of light came head-on and shone on Du Yu's face. Du Yu narrowed his eyes and frowned, seeing Xi En holding his mobile phone and looking at him with a sly smile.

"Do you have a candle?" Theon asked.

"No." Du Yu brushed past him, opened the door and entered the room.

The moment he closed the door, Xi En held onto the door frame with one hand and pressed against the door gently: "Then how do you read?"

"Don't watch it." The veins on Du Yu's head twitched, and he really wanted to slam the door and snap his fingers off.

Xi En couldn't see Du Yu's flaming eyes at all, and continued to smile: "I have an emergency light here, and I can lend it to you." Then, he bent down and picked up the square miner's lamp at his feet, and pressed it on with a "click" .

The small miner's lamp was not inferior to the chandelier on the ceiling, and the whole hall was illuminated, and it also illuminated Theon's face—the golden eyelashes still had glistening drops of water, as if they had just taken a bath, and their face was floating. With a touch of red, there is a strange charm in the intersection of light and shadow.

"Professor..." Du Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the miner's lamp. "You have prepared so well when you just moved in. Should you say you have foresight or ulterior motives?"

Xi En raised his eyebrows, ignored the meaning of Du Yu's words, raised the miner's lamp and walked into the house: "Use it if you want, you don't need to praise me so much, but I also want to read, so I can only be with you used!"

Du Yu was flustered, completely unaware that Xi En's face was so thick, and just about to catch up with him, he had already sat down on the sofa, took out the book under his arm, and opened it to read.

"Are you finished?" Du Yu's face was full of anger.

"What?" Theon rolled his eyes innocently and looked at him.

"Since you know who I am, why not hurry up! What do you want? Or do you want me to leave Mansandi? Speak clearly and stop pestering me!"

Du Yu picked up the miner's lamp he put on the coffee table and threw it into his arms.

Xi En rubbed his stomach that hurt from being hit, but the expression on his face was indifferent: "You mean, can I do whatever I want you to do?"

"As long as you get out of my sight!"

Du Yu spoke bluntly, even though he knew that if Xi En got serious with him, he would not be able to defeat Xi En even if he had nine lives, but he just refused to choose to obey, as if he was angry.

"Okay!" Theon stood up, took two steps forward, and covered Du Yu under his shadow, "I want you to return to Ivan's position and take charge of Mansandi again!"

Du Yu stared at him blankly, doubts and ridicule flashed across his eyes, but he couldn't help but sneer.

Theon watched him calmly, and seeing that he hadn't replied for a long time, he sat back on the sofa again.

"Is not it what you want."

Du Yu stood for a long time before opening his mouth slowly, with a calm and firm tone: "Could it be that you came this far just to say 'come back' to me? Is there a more ridiculous joke than this?"

"This is not a joke." Sean put his eyes on the book, and unconsciously began to tighten his hand holding the book, "If I didn't kill you, you would die too. In this case, I would rather send you back to the west with my own hands, and get A chance for you to be reborn."

Du Yu stared at him incredulously: "What do you mean?"

"Do you still remember how you climbed to the top of Mansandi, Ivan?" Theon moved his eyelashes, his blue eyes seemed to be looking at the most distant time and space, and he was a little absent-minded.

"You killed a man named Aldridge, starting from him, devouring the city's money and desires step by step. Do you remember, Ivan?"

Remember, of course.

Du Yu choked up for a while, but didn't make a sound.

Aldrich... Du Yu will never forget this name in his life.That man destroyed his dignity and created an indelible nightmare for him. He killed him, and he will never regret it!

Seeing Du Yu's trembling fists, Xi En paused for a moment before continuing: "Aldrich's son, Barton Field, has been plotting a conspiracy since you took power. He is as treacherous and cunning as Aldrich. , bloodthirsty and cruel."

"Barton knows that the black snake is your fatal weakness. You can control the black snake to work for yourself, and the black snake can also manipulate Mansandi through you, so he tried every means to find the core of the black snake. Of course, I didn't know this until later Who is the core."

"And on the other side, Kroll's greedy and cowardly beast betrayed you in order to please Barton. They teamed up to drive you to a dead end. You should know all about this."

Du Yu lowered his head and said nothing, his back was as cold as ice.

He knew what Theon said, except for the man behind the scenes—Button Field.Du Yu never expected that Aldridge's son would have such great ability to poach Black Snake and Kroll from under his nose.

After digesting all this information, Du Yu reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Xi En: "What about you? I'm more interested now. How did you betray me first, then Barton, and then bite off Mansandi's piece of fat?" Meat?"

Theon froze, frowned, and said, "Ivan, don't you understand? I didn't have the strength to help you at that time. I could only kill you with the bullets engraved with curse patterns and make you reborn!"

Du Yu shook his head, "Let me be reborn? Thanks to you for finding such an absurd reason..."

"It's not absurd!" Theon was a little impatient, "Look, haven't you come back? I kept everything for you. You have seen that villa. It was your former home. I haven't changed a bit!"

After the voice fell, only Theon's slightly heavy panting and the crackling of rain on the window remained in the room.

Du Yu turned her head to look out the window, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the lights of the city appeared hazy and blurred in the rain.

"You didn't keep everything for me." After a long time, Du Yu opened his mouth, his voice a little dry, "At least you have changed, Sean...you are no longer that stubborn and simple boy, you have become... Even I don't recognize it."
