madness

On the sand, Li Kairui drew a circle stroke by stroke, then two dots, and an upward semi-circle. This is a smiling face.

One is me and the other is Su Zhiyun.

Li Kairui squatted there, thin and small, very like a dirty child, someone passing by would glance at him, and he would raise his face and smile.

He has no friends. Although he came to the nursing home very early, everyone is reluctant to be with Carrie Lee because he is too noisy and annoying.

Li Kairui is the kind of person who can talk endlessly as long as you have a word with him, whether you want to hear it or not. I don't understand people's faces.

"Do you have a problem with your brain?"

Finally someone couldn't help but say that.

"Don't you see that I don't want to talk to you?"

After the other party said this, Li Kairui was still talking there, as if he couldn't hear his words, and even his expression didn't change.

It wasn't until everyone had left for a long time that Li Kairui's voice began to get smaller and smaller, and gradually, he was the only one left in the room.

The smile on his face faded little by little, and he became very calm.

In fact, Li Kairui himself knows that this is annoying, but he can't control it. As long as others show a little intention to talk to him, he will be like a reservoir with an open gate, and the flow will continue.

Even if the other party will pretend to smile at the beginning, his face will become more and more ugly later on.

stop now.He thought so in his heart, but his mouth couldn't control it, and voices came out in a row.

He knew it wasn't normal.

Before Su Zhiyun came, he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.

Su Zhiyun and him are like two completely different opposites.

Su Zhiyun is a very quiet and powerful person, and he is also very good-looking.

Although I have always been indifferent to my own face, many people have been quietly talking about him behind his back.

He also has someone he likes.

Li Kairui stopped drawing, and his brain was confused. He had only seen these two words in books, and he couldn't understand what kind of emotion it was in reality.

He can feel very, very few emotions. Seeing a small pink flower on the playground come out of the sewer, Kairui's heart will become soft, much like the cotton candy he ate in the playground in his memory , swollen chest warm.

He knew that such an emotion was called happiness.

When Su Zhiyun said that he was not needed last time, he controlled his mouth for the first time because he was keenly aware that Su Zhiyun would not listen to him at this time.

It was as if there was a sudden heavy rain, and the socks hanging on the clothesline were dirty, and Li Kairui's heart curled up quietly, becoming very sore.

He always knew that Su Zhiyun was different from him.

There are very few places where he can help Su Zhiyun, and Su Zhiyun will indeed not need him soon.In just a few days, he had learned to use the dean's wife to fend off the great malice from the entire nursing home.

Although it was only a brief shadow, it was still very powerful. After all, before Su Zhiyun, no one had been able to win the favor of the dean's wife in such a short period of time.

But even so, at least until yesterday, he thought that Su Zhiyun was similar to him, if not exactly the same, at least a little similar, but the other party didn't regard him as a creature of the same dimension at all.

Li Kairui sighed softly, but he recovered quickly, but a smart person like Su Zhiyun was also sent to a nursing home by his parents.

At least this they are the same.

Kairui Lee was sent to a nursing home because he became abnormal after the operation. His parents didn't notice it at first, until they realized that Kairui was always talking to people, and no matter what they said is smiling.

Not as angry.

Then send him here.

Li Kairui thought so, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, he raised his head, and blinked slowly twice.

It was the person who held Su Zhiyun under the water before.

……

From a distance, several people could be seen forming a group, with a figure curled up in the middle. Su Zhiyun was indifferent. In a place like a nursing home, bullying is not uncommon.

He gradually walked away, unaware that when he passed by, the curled up person suddenly struggled as if he had been stimulated by something.

"You don't think he's really going to save you, do you?"

"It's addictive to treat someone as a dog."

Li Kairui hugged his head as hard as he could to protect his face, and his eyes were still fixed on the direction Su Zhiyun was leaving. It's a pity that the person he looked at didn't look back until he walked into the teaching building in the distance.

So Li Kairui gradually lowered his head.

It's not that he hasn't been beaten before, it's just that the other party gradually lost interest seeing him silent.

These people didn't hit him on a whim.

"Do you know why we hit you?"

"That brat Su Zhiyun, he's been so complacent recently, he thinks we'll have nothing to do with him because he fell in love with that dead old woman?"

The man kicked him hard again.

"What's the use of you being so nice to him, he still treats you like a dog, don't be delusional, you are not from the same world at all, that is, here he will look at you a few more times, if both of you are together Outside, do you really think that with his personality, he would make friends with someone like you?"

Li Kairui didn't respond to these words as if he didn't hear them.

Just bury yourself deeper, deeper.

……

With a "click", the door was pushed open.

When Li Kairui came back, the lights had been turned off, and the room was pitch black. He walked slowly to the bed, lit a candle, and the room was lit up.

The soft light dispelled the darkness. Su Zhiyun sat far away from the candles. He closed his eyes, his brows were slightly frowned, and his face was pale. He hardly fell asleep these days. woke up.

Because there are always many absurd and horrible nightmares, those dank, bloody bodies overwhelming.

Li Kairui walked in front of him slowly.

In the dream, there was a rain of blood, fragments of limbs and bones, internal organs, pattering, because he couldn't find an umbrella, Su Zhiyun was enveloped by the continuous smell, and the blood dyed his white shirt into a sticky red, The fallen limbs were pieced together into a twisted body, and they rushed towards him.

With a "click", Su Zhiyun opened his eyes, and the candle in Li Kairui's hand sent him flying.

The room fell into darkness again.

In the silence, Su Zhiyun's breathing became more and more rapid, like a wounded beast, Li Kairui noticed the stagnation of the atmosphere, and took a few steps back slightly.

After a while, Su Zhiyun gradually got used to the darkness. He recovered from the dream and realized that this place is reality.

Li Kairui's face showed a cold blue-white color in the night, like a jellyfish floating in the vast sea. He picked up the knocked-out candle, but did not light it.

Su Zhiyun suddenly felt a little strange, and he quickly realized that it was because of Li Kairui's unusual quietness, the other party was rarely so quiet as now, the boy was usually beaming and chattering, and sometimes even seemed a little nervous.

He couldn't quite see the expression on the other person's face, the room was too dark and there were no lights on.

"Did you go to the dean's wife this afternoon?"

Finally, Kairui Li spoke, his tone the same as before.

"En." Su Zhiyun responded, and after a long time, he continued: "I saw a photo in the studio. Although it is incredible, I think the person in that photo may be someone I know."

"so."

After a long time, no one spoke.

After a long while, Kairui Lee said, "Do you think I'm noisy? Is it because I've always annoyed you? But it's normal. Everyone thinks so. In fact, I always knew that I wasn't very likable. Personality, after all, I am so inconspicuous compared to you. If the two of us meet outside, I will definitely be the kind of person you don’t even glance at. You only glance at it when you are far away Everyone on the street, then casually pass me by."

In the shadows, Li Kairui smiled again. If Su Zhiyun lit the candle at this time, he would see the scars on Li Kairui's face, which made his smile look strange and ugly.

"Yeah, you don't look at me at all."

Su Zhiyun has never heard Li Kairui say such a thing. After all, the other party has always been like a small windmill that absorbs solar energy and uses it to rotate. Even if it rains heavily, it will not affect his 24-hour spinning happiness.

But when Li Kairui spoke to Su Zhiyun in such a calm, even desperate tone for the first time, Su Zhiyun was silent, he didn't say a word, or he was speechless.

Because he couldn't refute it at all.

Li Kairui's noisy level is unbearable for normal people, and because the other party always looks familiar and happy, everyone thinks he is rough and thick.

Although the other party has been clumsily trying to please him in various ways, Su Zhiyun has never really taken these measures to heart.

He didn't like such acquaintance and ardor.

So he rejected Li Kairui's kindness in a way that was even somewhat outrageous.

Not at all tactful.

Don't think about whether the other party will be sad or not.

It may be because he subconsciously, like everyone else, took it for granted that Carrie Lee would not be hurt by this, or that he didn't care.

Li Kairui waited for a long time, but before Su Zhiyun could speak, he was also silent, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to leave here?"

"You should know that I am very familiar with this nursing home. In fact, I have always known that there is a hole in the nursing home to escape. I discovered it by accident. I went there this afternoon to confirm that the hole is indeed still there. Not sealed. I know you've been dying to get out of here."

His tone was understated, as if discussing what to eat today with the other party, which is normal.

Su Zhiyun finally spoke, and he asked, "What do you want?"

He didn't believe that Carrie Lee would help him in vain.

"You have to take me with you."

Li Kairui said blankly.

"it is good."

Su Zhiyun agreed almost without thinking.

The next morning, after eating, the two took advantage of free time to go to the playground.

The wound on Li Kairui's face made Su Zhiyun take a few more glances, but the other party led the way calmly, and Su Zhiyun didn't ask any more questions.

When Su Zhiyun crawled through the hole, what he saw was not light, but a large group of dark people.

He subconsciously blocked Li Kairui behind him, and then quickly realized what happened.

"why?"

Su Zhiyun asked.

"Have you heard the story about the fisherman and the devil?" Li Kairui didn't answer, but asked instead, and then he didn't listen to what Su Zhiyun said, and started talking to himself: "When the fisherman was fishing, he caught a bottle. A demon, the demon said to kill him, the fisherman was very puzzled, so the demon told the fisherman his story."

"In the first century in the sea, the devil said to himself, if anyone saves me in this century, I will definitely repay him and let him have endless money for the rest of his life. However, after a century has passed, no one Come save him."

"At the beginning of the second century, the devil said to himself, if he saves me in this century, I will definitely repay him and dig out all the treasures underground for him. But no one came to save him. In the third At the beginning of the first century, the devil said to himself, if anyone saves me in this century, I will definitely repay him and fulfill his three wishes. But still no one came to save him.”

"The devil has been in the sea for 400 years, so he swore that if anyone comes to save me now, I will kill him."①

"Yesterday when I was beaten on the playground, you passed by, and I said to myself, if you save me, I will tell you where the real exit is. But you didn't stop. At night, I told you After saying those words, I said to myself, if you apologize to me, I will not tell you the lie, and I will still tell you the real exit. Just now, you saw the wound on my face, I said to myself, if you ask me where this injury came from, I will tell you everything, straight out."

"After getting into the hole, I said to myself, whether you really want to take me out or not, it doesn't matter to me, no matter what you do, I will pay you back."
