pure white believer

Zhou Shuining's eye sockets were very red, but no tears flowed from them.

She said, "Zhou Yu, come here for me."

Zhou Yu couldn't be more familiar with this tone: when he was a child, every time he was lazy and didn't do his homework, he would hear the other party say this, and then he knew that he was going to be beaten, and immediately ran away in a panic.But he knew in his heart that his sister beat him just for show, and she never hit him hard. At that time, his parents always said that she loved to spoil herself, and she was not afraid of making mistakes.

But now hearing this sentence, he can no longer turn around with a smile like when he was young, waiting for his sister to chase him all over the room.

Zhou Yu blinked vigorously, raised his hand, wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and walked to the pile of torn stone statues in two or three steps.

Zhou Shuining looked him up and down for a while, then smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"You didn't like to eat when you were young, and I was always worried that you would not grow taller." She said with a smile, seeing the other party's mouth twitching and shoulders twitching again, her face turned dark instantly, "Come on, you are still crying when you grow so tall, You don't think it's embarrassing! Wipe away your tears quickly, I really don't want to see you cry. "

Zhou Yu sobbed twice again, but the other party's tone was so bad that he couldn't help but want to laugh.

With an ugly face of crying and laughing, he sat down on the ground: "I haven't seen you for ten years, why do you scold me as soon as we meet!"

Zhou Shuining was very unconvinced: "Who scolded you? It's your own glass heart! You follow other people's gossip, and he never retaliates when I scold him!"

Wen Zhen: "..."

Zhou Yu: "..."

He was dumbfounded, and finally came to his senses. He glanced at Wen Zhen on the left, and repeatedly confirmed that he did not recognize the wrong person: "Sister...isn't it, this, this, him?! Is he the younger brother you recognized? Isn't he... Fuck me , is he also a member of the Disciplinary Society?"

"What dirty words are you talking about? Can you be more civilized!" Zhou Shuining said dissatisfiedly, then turned to Wen Zhen and smiled, "I knew it was you who came."

His eyes fell on Wen Zhen's eyebrows, he looked at it carefully, and laughed again: "My God, you look too much like your mother, you were carved out of the same mold."

"I came too late." Wen Zhen didn't answer her words.

Zhou Shuining was stunned for a while, then sighed helplessly.

"It's my own fault. I trusted them too much and didn't follow your advice." She said, "That day you warned me to be careful of your father and your brother, but I didn't pay attention at all... I thought You simply hate them. After all, they indirectly killed your mother."

"You shouldn't trust them."

"I know I shouldn't trust them. But...you know, at that time your father was pushing for a resolution within the council, and I happened to find out from Yao Fan, he said that the candidate the officer wants to nominate is you, It's not Chi." Zhou Shuining smiled wryly, "This matter was kept absolutely confidential at the time, so I didn't tell you, I thought your father did this because he at least... at least loved you."

"But in these years, I have read the memories of many people who came here. They said that you defected, that Chi Man was chasing you all over the world, and that you were the most sinful person in the world, and that you should be brought to justice. Eli-"

"I really haven't done many good things." Wen Zhen was indifferent, "You know, I'm not a good person in my bones. It's genetic."

"Who allows you to say that about yourself?" Zhou Shuining frowned, "Can you be the same as them? Why belittle yourself!"

"He's dead." Wen Zhen said suddenly without beginning or end.

Zhou Shuining was taken aback: "Who died?"

"My father."

Zhou Shuining's eyes widened: "He died? When did it happen?"

"One month before your accident. You were not there at that time, and the base blocked the incident." Wen Zhen said softly, "Unnatural death—to be precise, Chi killed him."

Zhou Shuining cried out: "How is it possible?!"

Zhou Yu opened his mouth blankly, and it took a long time before he remembered to close his mouth.

"Who are you talking about, sister?" he interrupted. "Who put you here like this? Is it the people you're talking about? Where are they now?"

Zhou Shuining glanced at him.

"Yeah," she was a little dazed, "I almost forgot to introduce you. At that time, you were too young, so I didn't bring you to Xiaowen for fear that you would annoy him."

"——This is the brother Xiao Wen I always mentioned to you, Wen Zhen. He is Chi's younger brother."

Zhou Yu's mouth opened into a circle.

After a long time, I choked out a sentence: "What the hell? Is it the kind of half-brother?"

Zhou Shui gave him a blank look: "Are you sick? Who's joking with you? They're brothers!"

"It's normal for him to feel surprised," Wen Zhen said.

"That's right," Zhou Shuining nodded, thoughtfully, "Sometimes I'm also surprised that the two of you can be born of the same mother."

Another sideways glance at Zhou Yu: "Okay, 2 minutes of surprise is enough - if you don't close your mouth, the saliva will almost flow on me."

Zhou Yu: "..."

He looked dazed, but subconsciously closed his mouth.

"Just now when Zhou Yu interrupted, I forgot what I wanted to say." Zhou Shuining murmured, "What did I want to say... Yes, you just said that Chi murdered his own biological father?"

"Yes." Wen Zhen's tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "Have you ever heard of God?"

"God?" Zhou Shuining was startled, "I've read similar memories, but I don't know who he is..."

"It's my father." Wen Zhen said, "You probably don't know that Chi's ability is to reverse the ability imposed on him by the other party, and my father... Simply put, he can make a person into an abnormal item , so that he can use them as he pleases. He is very arrogant, he calls himself the creator, and feels that he is the master of this world and omnipotent.”

"...Until that night, I followed Chi and saw him reverse the power that 'God' exerted on him, turning my father himself into an abnormal item."

"I didn't stop him." Wen Zhen laughed, "I think he's been dead for a long time. As for who should kill him, it doesn't matter."

He curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, his expression was very happy, it was happiness in the true sense, not the hypocritical mask he had pretended to hang on his face for many years.

Zhou Shuining stared at him blankly, the smile on his face gradually faded away.

"But I underestimated his ambition." Wen Zhen continued, "He took my father's, um, 'remains', and attacked many people, and they were all defenseless...that includes you."

"He turned you into an amnestic that he could use, placed it in the White Tower, named the White Tower the Garden of Eden, and used it as a place to wash the memories of all those who were not loyal to him. From that day on, he That's the real God."

Zhou Shuining looked at him blankly.Zhou Yu couldn't even say a word for a long time.

"Actually, I don't care who killed my father, who wants to be the highest official, who wants to rule the world - I don't care. But after that, I found a reason for myself to leave." Wen Zhen said, " After my father died, I was finally able to leave the base, and he sat on his throne as a matter of course. After that, you have heard more or less from the people here."

long silence.

Zhou Shuining lowered her eyes and took a deep breath: "I was in a hurry to go home that day... Yao Fan was waiting for me at home. That day was the day we were going to hold a wedding. But I was attacked before I even got to the airport and lost consciousness. After waking up, I found that I was only conscious, sealed in this sculpture, and my body... was gone."

"My ability started to activate out of my control, and it would attack everyone who broke into this place indiscriminately." She said guiltily, "I can't control it, and the mask on my face prevents me from speaking, so I can only watch Let me tamper with the memory of one person after another, and slaughter the lives of one person after another..."

Zhou Shuining smiled weakly: "Fortunately, all this is coming to an end now."

"About a month ago, someone came here and told me that Wen Zhen was here. I remembered that you reminded me to be careful of them before. You are such a smart kid. I guessed right away that you should have found out. What clues. So during that time, I tried my best to expand the scope of my ability, and let it start to affect everyone who is close to this area... I know it's not good, after all, they are all innocent, but I know that if I'm alive and I'm only going to kill more innocent people, so..."

"So if you see those people I hurt after you leave, please say sorry to them for me." Zhou Shuining said in a low voice, "After I die, all the memories I tampered with will be restored to their original state—— "

"Sister, don't say that." Zhou Yu hurriedly interrupted her, "You won't die, what are you talking about, I still want to take you home. You haven't been home for ten years, you must Are you homesick? Sis..."

"—I can't think of anything else that I can use to atone for my sins other than death." Zhou Shuining ignored him and continued.

Wen Zhen looked at her quietly: "Who is that person who told you I'm coming?"

"You might not believe it when you say it." Zhou Shuining said, "It's a consultant. The special consultant in the base."

For some reason, Wen Zhen didn't seem too surprised: "I just saw him downstairs."

"Yes, I almost forgot to tell you." Zhou Shuining said, "I noticed someone broke into the White Tower two hours ago, and that person should be him too. If he hadn't opened the door here, based on Zhou Yu's I can't get into the White Tower because of my skills—I suspect that Zhou Yu was also attracted by him on purpose, he must know that the person locked in is me, but, why? I don't know him well, he is still Chi's friend, Why would you want to help me take my life?"

"He may just want to leave a way out for himself." Wen Zhen said lightly.

Zhou Shuining looked at him puzzled, opened his mouth, and was about to say something when he suddenly trembled and coughed violently.

She probably wanted to raise her hand to cover her mouth, but those broken marbles didn't listen to her at all, so drops of viscous, gray stone slurry flowed from the corner of her mouth, and fell to her feet in a meandering way. side.

Zhou Yu suddenly panicked: "Sister? What's wrong with you, sister?!"

Zhou Shuining shook his head, panting heavily.After a long time, she spoke again: "Yes... the back road."

"The matter of Zhou Yu, I can only ask you in the future. I will not be able to take care of him in the future, you just treat it as...you just treat it as it is, pay back, pay back the 'graciousness' that I treated you to so many meals in the first place Let's go." Zhou Shuining said intermittently, and laughed out loud as he talked, "God, I'm really, really thick-skinned."

Wen Zhen didn't speak, but just let out a "hmm".

"By the way, there is also Yao Fan." Zhou Shuining said again, "After something happened to me, that person will definitely not let him go. Although he always liked to bully you in the past, but today, I can't do anything now... ...He, a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing, can only be entrusted to you."

"Don't worry." Wen Zhen said, "He will be fine."

"I'm relieved, of course I'm relieved." Zhou Shuining smiled, "Why don't I feel relieved with you here?"

"only……"

Her voice became smaller and smaller, her smile gradually faded, her expression was blank, her eyes were empty.

"It's just that I always feel that it's just yesterday that you walked around me with a stinky face. I always feel that Zhou Yu is still a kid who can't hold chopsticks steadily. I always feel that I am still an ordinary twenty-something year old. My little girl—time flies so fast." After a long time, Zhou Shuining closed his eyes and said softly, "We can't go back after all, can't we?"

"No, don't, don't do that, sister... don't say that..."

Zhou Yu ignored the gravel all over the ground, and crawled towards the stone statue with hands and feet.He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his sister's face, but when he was about to touch that familiar face, he stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Zhou Shuining looked down at him.

After a long time, a drop of gray stone slurry slipped from the corner of her eye and hit the back of the trembling hand.

Wen Zhen turned around in silence, not looking at the fragmented statue again.

When he raised his eyes, he met a line of sight.

——Nan Ting, who had woken up at some point, curled his tail and leaned against the door, watching him quietly with those golden eyes.
