dead dog

Jiang Ying's cell phone was turned off.

Ye Chuyang didn't have time to explain anything. He left the police station and drove to the hospital. On the way, he dialed Jiang Ying's phone number, but Jiang Ying's phone was turned off.For the first time in his life, he was driving with two minds, controlling the steering wheel with one hand, and holding the phone with the other, he found Bian Xiaocheng's number and dialed it.

"Where is Jiang Ying!"

As soon as the phone was connected, Bian Xiaocheng was asked very rudely by Ye Chuyang. He was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Boss Jiang left just now."

Ye Chuyang: "Where did he go?"

Bian Xiaocheng: "I don't know, Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, he answered the phone and left."

Ye Chuyang guessed who the call was from, immediately ended the call with Bian Xiaocheng, and dialed Bai Sinian's number again, but the first time there was no answer, the second time he got through.

Bai Sinian's tone was gentle, and he smiled before saying anything: "Are you looking for me?"

Ye Chuyang: "Look for Jiang Ying."

Bai Sinian: "Then you should call Jiang Ying."

Ye Chuyang was very anxious, but he didn't lose his pace, and calmly said: "Don't pretend, I know it's you."

It was no accident that Bai Sinian was exposed by him, so he just smiled lightly and said, "If you promise to come here alone, I will tell you where Jiang Ying is."

Ye Chuyang: "I promise."

So Bai Sinian hung up the phone and sent him a location, only about one kilometer away from Zhan Xingyu's burning villa.Immediately afterwards, he sent him a text message on Jiang Ying's mobile phone: I advise you not to call the police, Jiang Ying is in my hands, and I think it will be easy to do anything to him.Without Bai Sinian's reminder, Ye Chuyang would not call the police, at least not now, because as Bai Sinian said, he would not gamble with Jiang Ying's safety, especially in a passive situation.

It is still a villa built by the lake, the light gray exterior wall reflects the cold light like a cold weapon in the sun.Ye Chuyang parked his car outside the door. Just as he approached the gate, the gate opened automatically. He walked into the courtyard and saw a 180-degree floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the villa. Bai Sinian was standing behind the window, bowing his head. look at him.

Facing Ye Chuyang's gaze, Bai Sinian raised the water glass in his hand.

Ye Chuyang continued to walk forward, and when he got to the bottom of the door, the door swung open with a click.There was no one on the first floor, a set of sofas was empty, the tone was gray, and the air in the room seemed dim during the day.

"Please go upstairs."

Bai Sinian's voice floated down from upstairs.

There is a winding staircase in the middle of the living room. Ye Chuyang went up to the second floor along the stairs, and saw that there was another living room on the east side of the second floor. Bai Sinian was sitting straight on a blue single sofa under the floor-to-ceiling windows. Holding a teacup in his hand.

Bai Sinian raised his hand towards the opposite sofa, and said with a smile, "Please sit down."

Ye Chuyang stared at him closely, and found a few drops of blood on the cuff of Bai Sinian's white shirt. He stared at the few drops of blood and walked forward without paying attention to his feet, until he stepped on something and heard a miserable cat He screamed, only to find that an orange Garfield ran away from him, and he just stepped on Garfield's tail.

Garfield meowed and ran to Bai Sinian's feet. Bai Sinian put the water glass on the low table beside him, bent down to pick Garfield up, and stroked Garfield's back to comfort him.

Ye Chuyang walked over slowly, sat down opposite him, looked at the cat in his arms, and said, "Is this the cat that appeared in Xingyu Villa?"

Bai Sinian gently kneaded Garfield's ears, and said, "Yes, I originally left it in the villa to keep Xing Yu company, but Xing Yu didn't like it, so I asked me to bring it back. As a result, the next day, Xingyu set fire to the villa."

Ye Chuyang seemed to be able to see the scene where Zhan Xingyu set the fire; the morning light was dim, he was standing behind the window, the cluster of faint flames seemed to emerge from his fingertips, his body was long before the house was engulfed in flames It had already started to burn, and he used the fire from his fingertips to ignite the cage in which he was imprisoned, and he died with his fate.

Ye Chuyang said: "He likes this cat and asked you to take it away because he doesn't want it to die in the fire like himself."

Bai Sinian stopped stroking Garfield, and he slowly raised his eyes to look at Ye Chuyang: "You mean to say that you know him better than me?"

Ye Chuyang suddenly felt that he was ridiculous. He did such a vicious thing, but he cared about every detail like a child. Ye Chuyang said: "At least I know he doesn't want to kill this cat. This is the biggest difference between him and you .”

Bai Sinian: "Do you still think you understand me?"

Ye Chuyang: "I don't know you. I know you are cruel and arrogant. You told me that."

Bai Sinian seemed to be amused by him: "Are you condemning me?"

While talking with him, Ye Chuyang silently looked at the second floor, and saw a second bedroom opposite the living room. The door of the second bedroom was ajar, revealing a gap two fingers wide. silhouette.

Ye Chuyang turned his gaze back to Bai Sinian, and said, "I didn't come here to condemn you, but for Jiang Ying, please return Jiang Ying to me."

Bai Sinian turned his head slightly and glanced back, as if he wanted to see the second bedroom: "What happens after Jiang Ying is returned to you? Will you give Jiang Ying to the police?"

Ye Chuyang: "What are you talking about?"

Bai Sinian smiled and said, "Don't you know that Jiang Ying is a murderer? Jiang Ying killed the dead man you found on the mountain just now."

Ye Chuyang squeezed the armrest of the sofa, and said coldly: "There is no proof, why do you say Jiang Ying is the murderer?"

Bai Sinian: "Jiang Ying told me just now that Xue Lin was killed by him, and you went to the police station to call the police. That's why he found me and asked me for protection."

Ye Chuyang found these words extremely absurd, and sneered, "I don't think Jiang Ying will doubt me, nor do I think Jiang Ying will trust you."

Bai Sinian rubbed his chin, and looked at Ye Chuyang with interest: "Are there any things about me that Jiang Ying doesn't trust?"

Ye Chuyang: "Fan Yunxi was killed by you, Zhong Ling was killed by you, Liang Duo was killed by you, Jiang Haiyi was killed by you, the murderer identified by Song Youhai was you, not Jiang Ying. You pushed Jiang Ying into the Desperate situation, leading Jiang Ying to kill Song Youhai, and framing Jiang Ying to kill Zhou Qingchu, how cruel are you to Jiang Ying, that you think Jiang Ying still trusts you?"

Bai Sinian spread his hands and said with a smile, "But I didn't do anything."

Ye Chuyang: "It's just that you didn't do it yourself. These people are like marionettes in your hands. You have a lot of schemes to let them kill each other."

Bai Sinian put his hand on Garfield, stroked Garfield's back and forth, and smiled satisfied at Ye Chuyang: "It's rare, my confidant is not Jiang Ying, but you."

Ye Chuyang was angry: "I'm not your confidant, neither is Jiang Ying. I would like to ask clearly, what do you want to do after all your tricks have put Jiang Ying in trouble?"

Bai Sinian smiled without saying a word, his expression dark.

Ye Chuyang looked into his eyes, and the answer naturally came to mind: "You want Jiang Ying to ask you for help, you want to turn Jiang Ying into your kind."

Bai Sinian said: "You should understand me. I have very few friends, and even less confidants. Jiang Ying is so similar to me, how can I let him go."

Ye Chuyang was very angry. If he had a knife in his hand, he would throw it at Bai Sinian without hesitation, but he didn't, so he could only force himself to remain calm and continue talking to Bai Sinian, "You Do you want to control Jiang Ying the same way you control Fan Yunxi, Zhong Ling, and Song Youhai?"

Bai Sinian frowned, dissatisfied with his analogy: "How can you compare Jiang Ying with those people? They are just mice and prey, while Jiang Ying and I are hunters."

Ye Chuyang: "What did you do to your prey? Did the fire at the Xiyuan Hotel have anything to do with you? Why did Song Youhai say you were the murderer? Why did you kill Fan Yunxi and Zhong Ling, and also wanted to use Jiang Ying to kill him?" Song Youhai dead?"

Bai Sinian raised his palm to interrupt him, and said: "You have too many questions, and my time is precious, I don't want to waste time talking to you about prey. You ask me why I want to kill them?" Bai Sinian scorned A smile, like another bubble bursting in the sun, "Do you need a reason? Humans hurt each other, do you need a reason?"

Do humans need a reason to hurt each other?

Ye Chuyang suddenly felt sad, because he found that there is really no reason for human beings to hurt each other, and there is nothing to stop human beings from hurting each other. His question is a superfluous and stupid question, just like Anton hurting Zhong Ling wantonly. Si Nian hurt those 'prey' just as he wanted, without any bottom line or reason.

Ye Chuyang took off his glasses, pinched the sore corners of his eyes, and said, "You don't want to talk about prey with me, so what do you want to talk to me about?"

Bai Siyou said flutteringly: "Talk about the mouse."

Ye Chuyang took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped the lens slowly, put on the glasses, and then raised his head to look at Bai Sinian: "What mouse?"

Bai Sinian smiled and said, "Or, let's talk about Jung?"

It turned out that Bai Sinian knew everything, and everything they did was under Bai Sinian's surveillance.

Ye Chuyang was suddenly very discouraged, he raised his hand weakly, motioning for Bai Sinian to continue talking.

Bai Sinian said: "You and Jiang Ying found a swarm of rats, do you know where the swarm of rats came from?"

Ye Chuyang said truthfully, "I don't know."

Bai Sinian smiled and said, "Then let me tell you, the rats are experimental subjects."

Ye Chuyang thought for a while: "The test object of Universe 37?"

Bai Sinian nodded leisurely: "To be precise, the group of rats is not only the test subjects, but also the residents of Universe 37. But their homes were destroyed, so they became homeless wanderers."

The rat population is homeless, which seems to imply that the universe experiment 37 has been terminated.Ye Chuyang directly asked the question: "Is it because the experiment was terminated?"

Bai Sinian admired his keenness: "Yes, the experiment has been terminated."

Ye Chuyang: "Who initiated it, and who terminated it?"

Bai Sinian's eyes flickered slightly: "You should ask why it was terminated."

Ye Chuyang's understanding of Universe 37 is limited to the documentary in Jiang Xiang's spiritual cabin, but Bai Sinian's attitude at this time seems to imply that he has already understood the ins and outs, and he flashes back the information one by one in his mind, Sure enough, he caught a detail that he thought was insignificant but crucial.

Ye Chuyang suddenly said: "Oss Company, Arthur Bay."

Bai Sinian was very satisfied with his answer: "You are really smart."

Ye Chuyang ignored his praise, and said: "How can there be no eggs under the overturned nest? The No. 37 organization is illegal, so it must be terminated." He let out a breath, and then went back to the question just now, "Who is the leader of the organization?" who?"

The smile on the corner of Bai Sinian's mouth was very stiff, as if he had carved it in with a knife: "Don't you have an answer in your heart?"

Ye Chuyang had an answer in his heart. He remembered the group photo that Jiang Xiang hung in his father's room, but he didn't understand what role Bai Sinian played in it, so he asked bluntly, "Then who are you?"

Bai Sinian said: "I am Jiang Ying's savior."

Ye Chuyang shook his head and smiled: "How dare you say such a thing."

Bai Sinian leisurely turned his crossed legs upside down, and said with a smile, "You forgot that Jiang Ying was shot and wounded by Jiang Ziyan, you took him down the mountain, if Zhou Jing hadn't helped you find a nurse, Jiang Ying Ying died on the way down the mountain."

Of course Ye Chuyang remembered that Jiang Ying was bleeding profusely after being shot, but Zhou Jingye was determined not to help. When he had nothing to do to take Jiang Ying away, Zhou Jingye suddenly changed his mind and asked a nurse to follow them down the mountain.At that time, he had no time to analyze why Zhou Jing suddenly changed his mind. He only knew that Zhou Jing would not help until he received a phone call.

Ye Chuyang: "You made that call?"

Bai Sinian: "Yes."

Ye Chuyang: "Why?"

Bai Sinian smiled and said, "Obviously, Jiang Ying is my friend, and I won't let others hurt him."

Ye Chuyang looked at his cuff again. There were still a few drops of blood on the cuff of his white shirt, which had dried up at this time: "Then what did you do to Jiang Ying today?"

Following his gaze, Bai Sinian glanced at his cuff, brushed it casually a few times, and said, "Don't get me wrong, Jiang Ying isn't dead yet."

Ye Chuyang was very unwilling to bow his head in front of Bai Sinian, but he had no choice at this time, he could only show his face and beg: "Give him back to me."

Bai Sinian: "I can return him to you, but only if you promise me one thing."

Ye Chuyang: "What's the matter?"

Garfield jumped out of Bai Sinian's arms with a meow, and walked away slowly.Bai Sinian pinched off the cat hair sticking to his body one by one, and said: "I know you are researching a technology that can enter the subconscious area of ​​people, and you have found a way. I want you to give up this technology."

No matter what Bai Sinian said, Ye Chuyang would not be surprised anymore. Even if Bai Sinian said that he was the next president of Citigroup, he could take it lightly, but he didn't understand why his research was criticized by Bai Sinian. Si Nian's objection.

Ye Chuyang said: "First of all, I'm not researching the method of entering the subconscious mind, what I'm researching is the method of tracing people's memory. Secondly, I didn't use this technology on you, why did you ask me to give up?"

Bai Sinian: "The retrospective memory you think is actually stealing the subconscious mind. Could it be that you don't even know what you're doing after studying it for so long?"

Ye Chuyang: "Assuming you're right, what does that have to do with you?"

Bai Sinian picked up the watch placed on the low table, and slowly clasped the watch on his left wrist: "Do you believe in the existence of the collective subconscious?"

Ye Chuyang is very familiar with this term. Not only is he familiar with it, but he has also learned about the creator of this term, Jung, but he still can't explain it.Ye Chuyang said: "I don't understand psychology."

Bai Sinian put on the watch and turned the dial straight: "You don't understand anything, but you open the channel of the collective subconscious without authorization. You are very infuriating."

Ye Chuyang frowned: "Shall I open the collective subconscious channel?"

Bai Sinian looked up at him with cold eyes: "I admire your ingenuity very much, you surpassed the efforts of three generations in just a few years, but your mistake is that you shouldn't use your ignorance to break in this sacred realm."

Ye Chuyang supported his forehead, his mind was very confused: "Wait a minute, you said that I opened the channel of the collective subconscious, I don't understand what this means, I just entered the memory of the mentally ill—"

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped; he thought of Zhong Ling, Song Youhai, Jiang Xiang, the bell tower where Zhong Ling imprisoned him in Song Youhai's spiritual cabin, and Jiang Xiang's spiritual cabin Seeing Zhong Ling appearing in the mirror... He once talked about this phenomenon with Jiang Ying. At that time, he thought that the spiritual cabins of these people could communicate with each other and form an independent and huge universe. He never thought that it might not be theirs. The spiritual cabin communicates, but the subconscious communicates.

Bai Sinian: "Do you understand? What you opened is not their memories, but their subconscious, and they formed a collective subconscious in the space you provided."

Ye Chuyang was still confused: "The space I provided? You mean the spiritual cabin?"

Bai Sinian sneered: "It's not a spiritual cabin, you should call it the subconscious seabed. The seabed you made is the set of machines you hid in the office."

After suddenly accepting such subversive information, Ye Chuyang sat quietly and pondered for a long time before he sighed and said, "I understand."

Bai Sinian: "What?"

Ye Chuyang supported his forehead, and said softly as if he was tired: "You said that I opened the channel to enter the collective subconscious without authorization, which means that I researched the machine that enters the spiritual cabin. And you let me shut down the machine, so that I can destroy it. Get rid of the seabed you mentioned, because a collective subconscious field cannot have two subconscious seabeds at the same time." He lowered his arms a little weakly, and looked up at Bai Sinian, "You have also found a way to enter the collective subconscious, creating a your seabed."

Bai Si clapped his hands young and lightly, and said, "You are very smart."

Ye Chuyang: "Universe 37 is not studying mice, but the seabed, or in other words, using the subconscious of mice to find the seabed."

Bai Sinian: "Okay, you know enough."

Ye Chuyang didn't stop, and continued to speculate: "But this experiment is illegal, otherwise it won't be related to the darknet organization, and it will be terminated urgently when the organization is exposed—" He couldn't help but sneer, "You are using living people Do an experiment."

Bai Sinian raised his hand, gestured to stop him from speaking, and said, "I prefer to call it a volunteer."

Ye Chuyang: "Who is a volunteer?"

Bai Sinian smiled calmly: "You're talking to me."

Ye Chuyang: "Isn't that what you want to tell me? If you don't want to tell me, then why did you mention it to me?"

Bai Sinian: "I just want to warn you, if you don't shut down your seabed, it won't do Jiang Ying any good."

Ye Chuyang glanced at the bedroom behind him again. The door of the bedroom was still ajar, but there was still silence inside, and said, "Tell me first, where is your seabed?"

Bai Sinian raised the corners of his lips and smiled inexplicably: "My seabed?"

Ye Chuyang: "I can shut down my seabed, as long as you tell me where your seabed is."

Bai Sinian: "You don't seem to be qualified to negotiate terms with me. Jiang Ying is still in my hands."

Ye Chuyang lowered his head and pinched his left index finger. The whole finger turned red. When he realized his behavior, he realized that he was unconsciously imitating Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying would pinch when he was anxious. My fingers seemed to be crushed inch by inch...

He looked at his fingers for a moment, then raised his head and smiled indifferently: "I've changed my mind. I don't need to know where Jiang Ying is, but you must tell me where your seabed is."

Bai Sinian raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to save Jiang Ying?"

Ye Chuyang said: "You just said that Jiang Ying trusts you, and this time I came to ask you for help. Since Jiang Ying no longer trusts me, it is useless even if I find him, and I have already called the police, and the police are also here. It doesn't matter if I find Jiang Ying or not."

Bai Sinian: "You want to give up Jiang Ying?"

Ye Chuyang squeezed his fingers silently: "Jiang Ying gave up on me first."

Bai Sinian's eyes were cold and penetrating. He stared at Ye Chuyang coldly for a moment, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, pressed it a few times and threw it in front of Ye Chuyang, saying, "You shouldn't try to lie to me. , and still use such a clumsy lie."

Ye Chuyang picked up his mobile phone and gasped when he saw the picture on the screen of the mobile phone; in the picture was Jiang Ying, tied hands and feet, lying in a dimly lit room, with his forehead smashed and his face It was covered with blood, and there was a pool of blood under his head-this is not a photo, but a real-time monitoring screen.

Bai Sinian said: "He's not dead yet, but he's bleeding all the time. After a long time, he'll be dead for sure."

Ye Chuyang: "You said just now that you would not hurt him!"

Bai Sinian thought his roar was harsh, so he hissed at him, and said with a smile: "I really won't hurt him, I'll just take him away."

Ye Chuyang didn't have the time to analyze his crazy words. When he saw Jiang Ying who was seriously injured, he immediately discarded all his bargaining chips: "If you let Jiang Ying go, I will immediately shut down the machine and never use it again."

But Bai Sinian shook his head: "I don't trust you anymore."

Ye Chuyang looked at him with extreme hatred: "What do you want me to do?"

Bai Sinian turned his head back and said, "Take it out."

With a creak, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a little girl walked out, holding a tray in her hand, and placed the tray on the low table between the two of them like a waiter serving food.

Ye Chuyang looked at her. He thought that the person in the room was Jiang Ying, but he never expected that it was Liang Xinxin who had been missing for a long time; He hugged the Garfield cat.

Ye Chuyang asked: "Why is she here?"

Bai Sinian said: "Of course I saved her." He lifted the white cloth covering the tray, revealing a pistol, and pushed the tray in front of Ye Chuyang.

Ye Chuyang had never seen a gun before, but he did not suspect that the gun on the plate was not a real gun. He didn't understand the meaning of this gun, so he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Bai Sinian asked back: "Do you know how Fan Yunxi died?"

Fan Yunxi was killed by Zhong Ling. To be precise, Fan Yunxi and Zhong Ling killed each other, and Zhong Ling killed Fan Yunxi first; Ye Chuyang went to the scene and listened to Haiyang restore the whole incident. At that time, Fan Yunxi and Zhong Ling were sitting opposite each other. , holding a knife in each hand, Zhong Ling cut Fan Yunxi's throat with one knife.

Ye Chuyang was suddenly in a daze, he saw Zhong Ling and Fan Yunxi in a daze, compared to the past today, he and Bai Sinian were sitting opposite each other, very much like Zhong Ling and Fan Yunxi.

Bai Sinian smiled slightly: "It seems you guessed it."

Ye Chuyang had indeed guessed, exactly what Bai Sinian wanted to do, and all his thoughts were lost—Bai Sinian was forcing him to shoot himself.
