Punishment Whisk

Everyone is like the moon, with a side that they don't want to show others. --Mark Twain

Fang Zhongci stood there with a dazed face, and was punched on the chest by Vice Captain Gao: "Fang Zhongci, what are you doing, kid? Why did you slip away when you were out on duty?"

That punch was a little heavy, which made him feel a little pain, but the pain didn't seem to come from physical contact, but more like it came from the inside out, extending from the heart to all the limbs.

Fang Zhongci's gaze was originally stagnant and lifeless, but this punch instantly nailed his thoughts back to his body, and the surprise rising from his eyes poured out: "Gao, Deputy Gao..."

But he felt that Deputy Gao seemed unable to sense his presence, and he still said to the crowd in a loud voice: "According to the location tracker, the suspect has just passed through this abandoned parking lot, so quickly pursue him!"

At this time, there was a small criminal policeman in the team, who ran at the front like a green man, and rushed more than ten meters in an instant.

Fang Zhongci was taken aback, he shouted heart-piercingly, but his voice was strangely low, it sounded like the sound of a dilapidated stereo: "Don't go, there's a bomb over there!"

But everyone rushed forward without hesitation as if they couldn't hear him. Fang Zhongci suddenly saw himself in front of him and quickly followed the queue.He wanted to run over to stop those people, but found that he couldn't move his feet at all.

"Don't go, don't go! Please, don't shout—" Fang Zhongci's tears welled up in his eyes, and they condensed into water balls on the dry soil.He was kneeling on the ground, the friction between his knees and the soil brought scarlet blood, his feet still seemed to be rooted in the ground, and he couldn't move even a bit.

Looking at the fastest criminal policeman running ahead, Deputy Gao's pupils dilated in fear, and he shouted: "Watch out for your feet!"

The criminal policeman only noticed a thin line under his feet, but it was too late when he heard the cue, his foot had already stumbled on the thin line, and he fell to the ground suddenly.

"Boom——" The sound of the explosion was deafening, and the scorched color blocks were transpiring in the ashes of the parking lot.

To everyone's surprise, the explosion point was not at the criminal policeman's feet, but at Deputy Gao's.

Fang Zhongci struggled in pain, but there seemed to be a protective shield in front of him, which could not penetrate even the shock wave of the explosion.He was desperate to see that Deputy Gao was not prepared at all, and his whole body was hit by the shock wave on the pillars of the parking lot support, bright red blood spurted from his mouth and scattered all over his face.

He also saw himself rushing into the parking lot behind, and was also rolled aside by the shock wave of the explosion, letting the dust rolls covered in blood and randomly painted on his body and clothes.

The explosion stopped, and Fang Zhongci, who was outside the protective cover, barely supported his body, took two steps forward and fell suddenly.He got up again and rushed to Deputy Gao's side by walking and crawling.

As for Deputy Gao, exhausting his last strength, he only said two words, "quickly withdraw", and he couldn't open his eyes again.

Fang Zhongci violently knocked on the protective cover in front of him, wanting to rush over to see Deputy Gao and himself in the explosion.But no matter how hard he tried, the protective cover remained motionless, not even making a sound.

When he hit the protective cover for the last time, the scene quickly switched to his home in Linye City, the place where he used to live with his parents.

At this moment, Fang Zhongci's eyes were still stained with tears, but there was no trace of dust on his body, and even the injuries on his body just now were completely gone.

The light was low and dim, and Fang Zhongci's vision was somewhat blurred, but he vaguely felt that the layout here was quite different from the home he remembered.As if to keep something to be recognizable on purpose, the corner staircase in the room is still the same as before.

"Dang-dang--" A bouncy ball fell from the top of the stairs, jumping a few steps at a time.With each bounce, the stairs eat up a portion of the bouncy ball's kinetic energy, eventually rolling down.But the sound increased strangely with each step of the stairs. The bouncy ball, which should not be so loud, seemed to be equipped with a hundred times the amplifier, making a bang bang bang sound, and the people who hit it felt a little panicked.

There was a little boy on the stairs, about 7 or 8 years old.Fang Zhongci couldn't see the child's face clearly, but the child was tilting his head, making Fang Zhongci feel that there was a sinister smile on his face.The boy didn't chase after the bouncy ball in a hurry, but walked down the stairs slowly step by step, with an unbelievable calmness.He kept staring at Fang Zhongci, and the gaze Fang Zhongci felt at this moment was not like that of a child at all, but more like a bone-eating and murderous demon.

"Why did he want to kill me?" The boy didn't say anything, but a voice came into Fang Zhongci's ears, piercing his eardrums with pain.

"Tell me, why did he want to kill me!" The boy stood in front of him instantly, grabbed his neck with his hands, and Fang Zhongci realized that he had turned into a 4 or 5-year-old boy with a band around his soft neck. He felt a very real feeling of suffocation, he felt that the boy's fingertips were about to poke his throat.

He tried his best to break free from the shackles, running desperately, desperately running...but the boy kept chasing after him.Fang Zhongci ran a few steps and turned to look at the boy, but when Fang Zhongci looked back at him again, he had an extra 20-centimeter knife in his hand.

"You, you all deserve to die!" He said in his mouth, and then he got closer and closer, and cut Fang Zhongci's back with a knife.The pale clothes were cut with long and narrow slits, blood water sprayed out from his young body as if the gate had been opened, and splashed on the cold floor.At this moment, the flesh and blood turned out, and Fang Zhongci felt severe pain spreading along the incision. He was powerless and fell to the ground.

In the next second, the long knife slashed down again——

Fang Zhongci woke up from his bed with a start, his eyes opened suddenly, and the thin sweat on his forehead was still clamoring for the thrilling dream just now.

It was this dream again, Fang Zhongci had been tortured by such recurring dreams for many years.Ever since he had a clear and complete memory, he has been dreaming of a little boy chasing him with a heavy long knife in his dreams.Later, after a failed mission three years ago led to the sacrifice of his deputy team leader Gao Shuping, his dreams were added to.

Fang Zhongci clearly remembered that there was indeed a faint long scar on his back. He asked about it before, but his parents only said that it was caused by an accident when he was young, and the child in his dream was only seen when he was young. Too many horror movies.

It's just that as time went by, Fang Zhongci felt that the boy's body and behavior became more concrete, and he began to think whether one day he would be able to see his face clearly, and what would happen then?

Thinking of this, he felt extremely tight in his chest, and it was actually tight.He was a little strange, just lowered his head slightly, and his chin suddenly rubbed against a ball of fur.

"Little bastard, get down here! Sooner or later, you'll find out what's wrong with you!" Fang Zhongci yelled at the little Garfield lying on his upper chest while nudging it with his hands.Little Garfield's name is Ear, and he is a timid and clingy cat.If it was normal, with such a volume, Little Ear would have jumped out of bed in fright, but after a long night and painstakingly escaped from prison early in the morning, Little Ear missed his master very much, and was so sticky. .

He used some strength to push it all out of the bed: "I haven't slept with any handsome guy on this bed yet, but I let you get there first and sleep soundly."

"Good morning, sir, it has been detected that you wake up early. This is the sixth time you have woken up before the alarm clock this week. The data prompt suggests that you change the alarm clock time."

The speaker was Fang Zhongci's smart butler. It has to be said that technology has changed the world. As a criminal policeman, his life is extremely irregular.Except for the part-time aunt who can be seen occasionally, he and Xiao Er have a cat and a cat, and only the smart housekeeper can talk to him at home.

This gave him some spiritual sustenance for the day and night when he stayed alone in the vacant room, although when the case got busy, it was Xiao Er who stayed alone in the vacant room.

"The shade is being opened for you. It is now 6:32 in Kyoto time. The distance between your place of residence and your place of work is less than 3 kilometers from the Jingning City Public Security Bureau. You can enjoy a relaxing and quiet breakfast time."

Fang Zhongci got up, took a glass of water, the sunlight slanted from the corner of the window, sprinkled on his shoulders, and the spirit shot through the transparent glass, scattered and imprinted on the smooth wall.

The light and shadow seem to have been carefully adjusted. With the intelligent brightness adjustment of the visor, it first outlines his perfect jaw line, and then sweeps across his long legs that cannot be covered by casual pajamas.

Fang Zhongci is a handsome guy who conforms to the traditional aesthetics. Under the sharp sword eyebrows, his eyes are deep and vivid, and his eyes seem to be able to hold the entire sky.But when this person smiles, the slight hint of charm at the corner of his mouth can cut half of this sharpness, so it can't help giving people the illusion that he is extremely serious when he is not smiling.And at this moment, the unshaved beard on his cheeks in the morning gave him a little aura unique to mature men.

"Ah Choo—" Si Ren's eyebrows were scorching, but he didn't look good for three seconds. Fang Zhongci, who had always been made of copper and iron, seemed to have caught a cold.

Smart housekeepers are sometimes artificially mentally handicapped, so it’s not as good as being close to yourself, like now——

"The route to the nearest hospital is being planned for you."

Fang Zhongci didn't want to pay attention, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find a stack of masks, and put them on the top of the shoe cabinet by the door, reminding himself to bring them.

Woke up a little early today, Fang Zhongci gave up his usual itinerary and prepared to walk leisurely to the Municipal Bureau.

As soon as he left the gate of the community, a young man walked up against the light not far away, with a white and silky shirt on his upper body tightly tucked into his fine trousers, and a simple suitcase in his hand.As soon as the boy entered the community, he picked up his mobile phone, as if he was looking at an electronic map.

Fang Zhongci's eyes were caught in an instant, and he had been in the city bureau for 7 years, and he was just a few rough guys over and over again.Even if there were two or three good-looking ones, they didn't grow in Fang Zhongci's aesthetic point. He hadn't seen a handsome guy who could dazzle him for many years.

The light at the moment was a bit dazzling, Fang Zhongci walked slowly and slowly, as if admiring an exquisite cultural relic that fascinated him in a museum, carefully and cherishing every glance.

The light passed through the boy's hair, dyeing the black hair with a few picks of yellow-brown. Fang Zhongci only felt that there was a refreshing wind passing behind the boy, brushing behind the man's ear and then Skip his own eyes, lingering for a long time.

The person walked away, but Fang Zhongci didn't clear the cache in his eyes and mind, and returned to the parking lot downstairs of his house for some unknown reason.The moment he came back to his senses, Fang Zhongci knew that his plan to walk to the city bureau was shattered.

In the quiet and closed mountain village, the gurgling river crashes against the river bank non-stop. Occasionally, the rushing water can't wait to climb up the natural mound embankment, and at the same time spit out the dirt in the river's arms.

The woman's scream pierced the silent morning, her hair was disheveled, and while howling, she tore at the man beside her. The man had obviously lost all patience, threw her to the ground, and wanted to leave alone.

The woman was raving like crazy, following the direction her trembling hand was pointing at, on the edge of the river bank, half a rotten human head appeared on the top of the pile washed by the flowing water.

The gray carrion was mixed with red and white blood, and the white bones pierced through the rotten shackles, carving deep and shallow pits in the flesh and blood, mercilessly poking at the woman's fragile nerves.
