Forced to mark after inhibitor expires

When Xi Ye was reading the suicide note, Xi Chen kept his eyes closed with a pained look on his face, as if Xi Ye was not the only one reading the letter, he was also forced to read the letter from beginning to end.

Ji Yanli silently supported Xi Chen, and stared at Xi Ye worriedly.Xi Ye kept his head down, his untrimmed black hair hung down to cover his eyes, he stood in front of the wall lamp, his tall body covered the light source, his whole face was hidden in the dark, only the ends of his hair showed dark golden Light.

Xi Ye finished reading, swayed almost invisibly, and leaned against the wall: "What do you mean? You have kept this letter until today, keeping it from me, and waiting to use it as your trump card one day What?!"

"No," Xi Chen slowly opened his eyes, and said hoarsely, "I originally planned to show it to you on the day you became an adult, and your mother also asked for it in the letter..."

Xi Ye sneered and said, "You think that after reading the letter, I'm going to cry and kneel down to admit my mistake? Do you think I'll forgive you for what she said? You're dreaming, Xi Chen, I won't."

"I don't want you to forgive me." Xi Chen said quietly, but now he seems to have let go of everything, revealing a kind of indifference at the bottom of the valley, "The person who can forgive me is dead. I just want to finish what she wrote in The promise in the letter, I will live until you grow up. I will complete everything she said, and that’s all. I originally planned to give the letter to you at the coming-of-age ceremony, but if you continue to go your own way, I may not return it in the future. I can see you."

"Who do you want to touch now? Do you want to touch yourself? She is dead. Does what you do have anything to do with her? Does it make sense?"

"..." Xi Chen's body shook violently again, he stretched out his hand to support the sofa, the skin on the back of his hand shriveled like an old man's, tightly attached to the dry veins, and was covered with gray-brown age spots.

"After I die, if I can see her once, I want to tell her that I have completed everything you wrote in the letter. I think I still have the right to say this." Xi Chen paused , even smiled, "I am not qualified to say anything else, and I have no reason to see her, I just want to do everything she said, and then tell her. There is only one thing I want to do thing."

Xi Ye raised his head slightly, looked at him in disbelief, and frowned in disgust: "Are you crazy..."

Talking nonsense about things after death, nonsense about gods, ghosts and ghosts, death is like a lamp going out, so there is no last side.

Xi Chen's lips trembled violently, his oldness became more and more obvious, Alpha's aging should have been slow, especially the top Alpha, but he was only in his early forties, and he was as old as six or seventy years old, snow-white The roots of her hair can't be concealed from seeping out from the black hair.

Ji Yanli suddenly had an illusion, as if what he is now is just the outer shell of Xi Chen, while his inner body has withered and dried up many years ago, every word he said and every fake smile came out of his empty body Echoes of regret.

"It's not that I can't help it... I sold the non-medical industry five years ago, and I formed a world-class scientific research team. So far, there are 732 registered supersensory patients in the world, and most of them are They have already been sentenced to life or death for the crime of intentional homicide, and the rest either use their power to find themselves a place to hide from the world, never go out again, disappear from all accessible materials, or stay in the A management office all the year round. During the overdose, he turned into a sluggish walking corpse." Xi Chen said slowly.

He opened the leather bag that he had been carrying all the time, and took out a silver-white sealed metal box from it. After fingerprint verification, he opened it carefully. The moment he opened it, white smoke overflowed with a "squeak".

Inside are two bottles of potion fixed with a metal buffer bracket, showing a transparent cobalt blue color, like a frozen lake lying on a plateau glacier, and a label code-named "hibiscus" is attached to the potion bottle.

Xi Chen continued: "We have done a lot of experiments, but the final results are not very satisfactory. It has a great rejection reaction to the body. Symptoms similar to allergies may appear, and it may also cause unexplained neuralgia. But other than that, The effect of one drug H is roughly equivalent to eight sedatives, and it does not have the addictiveness, paralysis of nerves, and irreversible damage to liver and kidney of sedatives."

Xi Ye's expression relaxed slightly, he stared at the potion bottle for a while, and asked again: "You know my body is different from ordinary A's. What works for other people may not work for me."

"I know." Xi Chen closed the box, fastened it carefully, and turned around.

He tore off the collar, and tore off the barrier sticker on the back of his neck with his backhand.

Under the dim light, the back of his neck was full of pinholes. The deformed scars caused by repeated bruising and bleeding and repeated healing spread horribly, lying under the skin like a hideous protruding shape. It can't be covered, so even in summer he pulls his collar very high.

"I know." Xi Chen whispered, "But we are very similar, you have my genes in you...I am your immediate family. I have tried it many times...It doesn't work at all, but it's better than nothing. "

He was the only white mouse in the laboratory.

Xi Chen had no way to find other susceptible patients to do human trials, so he used himself.He injected too many immature reagents, which destroyed his body in a thousand holes, made him violently out of balance, and aged rapidly. In just five years, he has changed from a top-notch Alpha in his prime to the current ugly man. It looks like a ghost.

Sometimes the doctors in the team couldn't bear to do something to his fragile glands, Xi Chen would grab the needle, raise his hand hard, and slam into the back of the neck like a chisel hitting the ice, he pushed the needle with such a depressed expression, As if I didn't feel anything, only when the doctor asked about the pain with the form, would he say eight to nine.

The doctor looked at his unmoving face and asked Mr. Xi in surprise, the tenth grade pain is about labor pain, are you sure it is now... Xi Chen lowered his head and pinched his brows, and said, I'm sure, the radiation from the back of the neck to the whole body looks like an electric shock burn.

The doctor realized that he was not joking, and immediately panicked, dropped the recording sheet, and injected him with morphine to relieve the pain, but Xi Chen raised his hand tremblingly to hold him down, and said in a low voice that there is no hurry, I want to hurt for a while, so that I will feel better a little.

That day, the team carried him behind their backs and secretly contacted a world-renowned psychiatrist who happened to be visiting China at that time. The initial diagnosis was severe depression, but later Xi Chen repeatedly broke appointments. He said that I finally know why my son hates psychotherapy because there is no Use, don't worry, I won't die, I haven't finished my work yet.

Xi Chen stretched out his hand and handed the box in front of Xi Ye: "Are you willing to talk to me now? People from the Investigation Bureau will come in eight hours. Even if you really want to give up, you have to wait until you have tried it. "

Xi Ye took the box and said suddenly, "I remember you prepared plan B for yourself."

Xi Chen froze for a moment, then nodded.

Ji Yanli looked at the code words between father and son in confusion, not understanding what the so-called plan B was.

Xi Ye said, "I hope it's still usable now, because," he glanced at the light box in his hand, "I don't believe what you made."

Checking the claims is a very tedious task. They have to sort out all the materials circulating on the Internet, even the rumors in the post bar, shaking videos, and even vague candid shots. Their claims cannot be contradicted by physical evidence, nor can they Contradicted with the memories of most witnesses at the scene.

Because the white mist of the barrier agent blocked the line of sight, it is enough to keep the caliber of Xi Ye and Ji Yanli the same, and the part in the rainstorm is another story. As for how Xi Ye escaped from the warehouse...

Xi Ye said, "I didn't escape."

Ji Yanli added: "I did see no signs of damage to the lock, and when I arrived at the scene, the doors and windows were fully closed. In addition, I also trust Xi Ye."

He turned his head to look at Xi Ye, who only looked down at the table, as if he didn't hear.

The three of them sat at the long table, Xi Ye occasionally spoke, but only to Xi Chen, Ji Yanli occasionally asked questions, and only Xi Chen could answer them.

It seemed that there was an invisible wall lying in front of Xi Ye and Ji Yanli, only then did Ji Yanli realize what kind of "breakup" Xi Ye was talking about.

"We can explain this matter, but the explanation is meaningless, because they can't justify themselves, they will only feel that Xi Ye is unwilling to take responsibility and face mistakes," Xi Chen knocked on the table, "What's more, according to Teacher Ji, That door was opened by someone else from the outside... did you see who opened it?"

"No."

Another moment of silence.

Xi Chen said: "The door lock is old, you escaped by yourself. It's useless to quibble on this issue, we can't destroy our reputation in the first place."

Ji Yanli opened his mouth, wanting to interrupt Xi Chen, how could he just watch Xi Ye being accused of something he didn't do?Why should you destroy your innocence just because of other people's prejudice?

Just as he was about to speak, a thought flashed through his mind.

At that time, it was Jiang Qifeng who was holding a gun who called out the word "warehouse".It was also Jiang Qifeng who was lame and wanted to lead the way to send Xi Ye into the warehouse.And the key to the warehouse happens to have a backup in the hands of the chairman of the student union.

……

It was Jiang Qifeng who opened the door!

He knew that Xi Ye deliberately opened the door during the dangerous susceptibility period to reveal a bright slit in the darkness, and Xi Ye would naturally push the door out according to instinct, so he did not have to do anything, and he was more guilty, and There's no denying it!

Ji Yanli's anger was burning like never before. He only hated that there was no evidence. At that time, the earthquake caused the gymnasium to turn on the backup generator set. Except for necessary electricity consumption, the monitoring was naturally turned off.

"Teacher Ji...do you have something to say?"

Ji Yanli took a deep breath and said softly, "No."

After speaking, they cleaned up the house from inside to outside again. Anything with a tendency to violence, even boxing gloves and sandbags, must be transported away in the early morning. As for the abnormal large quantities of tranquilizers and needles in this way.

Xi Ye wanted to chase Ji Yanli away many times, but Ji Yanli treated him in his own way, but he pretended not to hear him, and insisted on staying until the next morning. Together with Xi Chen inside and out, he took care of everything at home. After going through it all over again, Xi Ye would uncontrollably destroy every susceptible period when she was locked at home, and now even the broken vases, torn screens, and torn sofa covers have to be taken away.

It was nearly four o'clock when the matter was over.Xi Ye suppressed his anger and glared at Ji Yanli. Ji Yanli only saw the almost white sky when he looked up.

"Teacher Ji, you really need to rest." Xi Chen said, standing up while supporting his waist, "And it's almost finished, I'll ask someone to drag it away... Would you like to go upstairs to rest? You go home."

Ji Yanli said, "I'll go home."

Xi Chen insisted on personally driving him, but Ji Yanli couldn't shirk it, so he had to sit in the co-pilot with his schoolbag in his arms, buckle up his seat belt, and sink into the soft leather backrest. Only then did he feel tired and his eyelids twitch.

Xi Chen slowly drove away from the community and turned into the open and empty streets in the early morning: "Teacher Ji, I don't even know how to express my gratitude. When you need my help, you must tell me."

"No, no, I also thank you...and Xi Ye."

"Actually, I want to send you off because I have selfish intentions. I want to talk to you alone." Xi Chen looked at the road and paused, Ji Yanli sat up straight after hearing this, and looked at him seriously.

Xi Chen said: "As Xi Ye's father, I am very grateful for your tolerance and help to him, but other than that, Teacher Ji, he is right."

Ji Yanli was stunned, he didn't know whether he was too sleepy or he really couldn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Xi Chen said in a low voice: "Xi Ye is right, you shouldn't be together. He's too dangerous... Do you understand me? The medicine is indeed useful, but it's not a guarantee, and sometimes it doesn't work on me. Wait. After this matter is over, I will find a way to repay you, and then you can leave him."

Ji Yanli rubbed his temples with a wry smile: "Uncle, I won't give up on him, and Xi Ye needs marked omega pheromones, which may be the best special medicine to appease the susceptible period."

Xi Chen gave him a mixed look of blame and relief: "Although I shouldn't say this, you should think about the problem from your own perspective. I say this not only for you, but also for ridicule. If you Injured...or let me say something more, if you die, it will be more terrible for him than death. If you are separated, he will have other happiness. If you die, he will not be happy anymore gone."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Ji Yanli said quietly, "As long as we all do our best, there's nothing wrong with it."

Xi Chen looked at his light-colored pupils, lost his mind slightly, and forced a smile: "You are more naive than I thought. Do you think his mother and I didn't try our best? Do you think we didn't have a perfect plan? You Do you think our determination will be worse than yours? I am someone who has experienced it. It won’t work. Really, it won’t work.”

Ji Yanli was silent for a while, looking at the gradually brightening horizon, the light golden sun gradually rising in the gaps between the buildings, and the bright light jumped and splashed like water splashes on the large glass curtain walls in the city.

"Uncle, I have signed my mother's critical illness notice three times." Ji Yanli looked at the distant morning light and said softly, "The doctor said she would not live for ten years, but she has persisted for 20 years... from statistics and probability Say, she's already died many times. But we don't believe in math. If there's only a [-] in [-] chance she'll survive, she's that [-] in [-]. If there's a [-] in [-] chance I'll Death... If you keep two decimal places, it is an impossible event."

Ji Yanli smiled, "Maybe our family has some tendencies, inherited."

Xi Chen didn't speak, and after a while Ji Yanli suddenly shouted eagerly: "Red light."

Xi Chen slammed on the brakes, and the wheels barely stopped in front of the stop line. Ji Yanli was pulled back on the back of the seat by the seat belt, and turned to look at Xi Chen.

"But what did you get?" Xi Chen didn't look at him, but just looked at the road aimlessly, with the glare of the red light reflected in his eyes, "Is it worth risking your life to gamble? What if he isn't worth it?" ? What if it's not worth it?"

Ji Yanli had a vague feeling that the question Xi Chen asked seemed not only to him, but also to a dead person who would never answer him again.

Ji Yanli thought for a while, and said, "I haven't seen Auntie's suicide note, but I think she should be able to write it, and she doesn't regret it. She guessed that she might die, and even guessed the cause of her death, but it was hers." Choose, she doesn't blame you, or anyone, not even fate."

"Because death isn't a mistake, it's just a consequence."

Xi Chen's pupils contracted suddenly, he turned his head to look at Ji Yanli, the red light flashed green in his eyes, he slowly released the brake almost like instinct, and the car drove forward through the intersection.

"Guess right?" Ji Yanli smiled, "Because if it were me, I would write like that."

Ji Yanli added: "I want to spend the next susceptibility period with him. It's the first time he uses the new drug H you developed. If he doesn't succeed, he will really lose confidence in the future. With me here, I want to succeed." rate will be higher.”

Xi Chen sighed: "It seems that I can't convince you either."

"Yes."

"May I ask, what do you like about him? Even though he's my son, I sometimes find him quite unpleasant."

Ji Yanli opened his eyes slightly, thinking that he really deserves to be his own father: "...Really?"

"He has a bad temper, a hard mouth, and is as stubborn as a cow. He plays a petty temper, has a lot on his mind, and doesn't say it out loud. If he wants to, he can say something very hurtful."

Ji Yanli recalled it carefully, thoughtfully: "That's right..."

Xi Chen couldn't help but smile on his face that had been rigid and vicissitudes: "I just realized it now? Is it too late?"

"But I like it." Ji Yanli also smiled, "How should I put it, I just discovered recently that he has been taking care of me for so many years. I am very relaxed and free when I am with him. He is not what you think I'm not as bad as you think I am. Sometimes I feel like I didn't have myself until I met him."

Xi Chen's car slowed down slowly and drove into the cramped old-fashioned residential area. The uneven ground made the vehicle vibrate slightly. There were clothes drying poles everywhere, piles of discarded cardboard boxes, sofas, home appliances and broken bicycles. Loud sounds of washing and greetings, even the sound of shuffling cards in the neighborhood mahjong parlor that is open all night, chickens crowing and dogs barking one after another.

Xi Chen drove to a place where he could no longer enter, stopped the car, the car lock jumped, turned his head and said: "It can only be delivered here."

"Thank you Uncle, take care of yourself too." Ji Yanli said as he unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, and heard Xi Chen say from behind, "Actually, I still don't understand why you like him."

Ji Yanli laughed dumbfounded: "It's not important."

"However, I understand why he likes you." Xi Chen waved goodbye to him, with his hands relaxed on the steering wheel, with a peaceful and kind smile on his face, "Because you did what I couldn't..."

"You gave him a home."
