Rebirth Code

It was already dark when they arrived in T City, so they decided to go to Zhiming Festival's haunted house tomorrow.

Xiao Ran woke up very early the next day because he slept well on the train, but someone was earlier than him.There are delicious omelets and a glass of chocolate milk on the dining table.

Xiao Ran felt warm in his heart, he asked Shen Yi who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper: "Let's go after eating?"

"it is good."

The Zhiming Festival is still the same, there are many tourists but not noisy, occasionally a child passing by with the thin rope holding a hydrogen balloon in his hand.The balloon was floating in the air, accidentally bumped into Shen Yi's body, and then floated in another direction, but turned around because of the small thin thread.The child looked back suspiciously, only to see a good-looking older brother bending over to say sorry to him.

After Xiao Ran apologized, he cheered Shen Yi up.This is really the rhythm of going out to hit ghosts.

Although it was the second time to enter the haunted house, Xiao Ran still bumped his head like a headless chicken in the dark and yellow space like the first time.When I saw the bright light, I rushed out, completely forgetting my purpose...

==!

Xiao Ran had a mournful face, sighed, and prepared to walk again to understand the serial plot of the other road.

Shen Yi shook his head, smiled and whispered in his ear, "Come with me."

Xiao Ran followed Shen Yi to where the staff was, and saw an old man with a solid body talking to someone.

Taking a closer look, this old man is somewhat similar to the one they saw in the ancient city of Town C.

After the conversation between the staff and the old man was over, Xiao Ran stepped forward and asked, "Hi, may I ask you a question?"

The old man looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him and nodded.

"The plot set in this haunted house, I saw it on a small wooden carving in a shop in the ancient city of C Town. I came here once before, so I was curious and asked the old man in that shop, and I heard something about the four people. The story, but the old gentleman doesn’t know much, but I really want to know what happened, so I ran over when I had time..."

The old man was a little surprised: "So you saw my brother?"

Xiao Ran nodded.

The old man laughed loudly: "That's good, you want to know the whole story of the four people in Qianhua? Come with me to my studio first, and I will tell you slowly." The old man seemed very happy that someone discussed this with him. The story, the smile on the face is more wrinkled.

Xiao Ran kept up with his slightly staggering pace, only to find that there was a hut in the corner next to the haunted house. Because the haunted house was originally in a relatively remote part of the playground, the surroundings of this hut were quite quiet.He walked in and found that there were two tall and large bookcases standing on the left and right walls of the room, and the books on them were neatly piled up with all kinds of books.

The old man took out a reading glasses from the glasses case on the desk and put them on, and took out an old book from the bookcase on the left, and opened it tremblingly.

"Old man Hua should have told you about it, right?"

Xiao Ran nodded: "Is that the old man? Yes, but the details are not very clear..."

"Haha, he is not interested in history, that is to say, I am willing to spend many years collecting unofficial histories everywhere to piece together a complete story. But for some reason...even if it is reported to the country, it will probably not be recognized. "

"why?"

The old man sighed: "Although I am old, I should have been more conservative, but I have traveled to so many places over the years, and there is nothing I can't accept... Although these four people seem to be best friends, they actually admire each other For a long time, the two brothers under the Honggu sect have admired Ye Ling and Wugu of Fenglan Hall respectively."

"Admiration?"

"Yes, in fact, a long life can be explained clearly in just a few sentences. They were forced to join two different assassination sects since they were young, and they both worked for the royal family. They were also forced to eat red poison. That was in ancient times. It is a kind of highly poisonous poison. Before the full moon of every month, you need to drink the antidote to avoid the pain and die. This is also a cruel method that the organization came up with in fear of someone defecting.

"The four of them grew up together. Maybe they would have been working for the organization until they died, but something happened in the middle, that is, Ye Ling didn't come back in time before the full moon because he was assassinating the royal family. , and almost died on the way home, but Fenglan Palace convicted him because of this, and even imposed a severe punishment.

"Hongyao, who admired him, was obsessed with him too deeply, so he was deeply stimulated, and made a deal with Feng Landian without telling the three of them, in exchange for them trying the medicine for 49 days in exchange for being able to get rid of it forever The place where the antidote to the red poison is found, and the only one is in the hands of the extremely tyrannical leader of the demon sect. So Hongyao fled and hid under the sect of the leader of the demon cult, becoming a pet and suffering all kinds of inhuman torture , at the end when he was almost dying, he stole the antidote."

Xiao Ran couldn't bear it and said: "It turns out that this is the real reason for Hongyao's escape, so he did all this for Ye Ling?"

"Yeah, the obsession is too deep, and in the end it caused tragedy." The old man sighed, "When he came back with his broken body, he found that Fenglan Palace and Honggu were no longer what they used to be because of the turmoil in the royal family. At the same time, he also found out that his best friend Wugu betrayed Ye Ling and Feng Landian and took refuge in Honggu, and was with his brother Hongyan.

"He had stayed out of the matter for a long time, so he didn't know that all this was a game set up by the three of them, and the purpose was to escape from death. Therefore, he made a choice. For Ye Ling, he indirectly Killed his brother and Boneless."

"Is it an obsession..." Xiao Ran couldn't listen anymore, "Isn't such an obsession too terrifying..."

Killing one's own relatives and best friends for one's own love? ...

The old man stroked his white beard and said: "Little comrade, you have to understand. Such obsession is terrible, but what is even more terrifying is the irreversible consequences after the obsession. There are too many inexplicable reasons in this world. At the end of the story, Hongyao naturally learned all the truth, but it was too late, and she jumped off the bridge that night, and finally died."

Xiao Ran asked, "What about Ye Ling?"

The old man shook his head: "He died too. Although it was simply mentioned in the wild history: 'Ye wanted to assassinate the emperor, but was stopped by the imperial guards, and he was beheaded in front of the palace.' However, after my research over the years, maybe Ye Ling went to his death on purpose. And until his death, the two of them didn't show their hearts to each other."

Xiao Ran was silent.

He felt very uncomfortable, he did have an inexplicable interest in this story, but now he would rather not have heard it.The ending is too sad and mournful.

Seeing his expression, the old man said slowly, "There must be a cause in this world, and there must be an effect. The mistakes made by Hongyao in that life will have to be paid back sooner or later. There is no escape, let alone escape."

---------------Past Life----------------

A few dead leaves fell on the promenade, and when the wind blew, they slowly drifted away and disappeared.The guard yawned, not so conscientiously guarding the prisoners in an inch of land.Was the one who just entered Hongyao who came back not long ago?The guard was thinking dazedly, nodding his head as if he was about to fall asleep.

Inside the narrow prison, there was a pungent stench, and the rattling of rats scurrying past the walls could be vaguely heard.Across the rusted prison bars, Shen Mingke, the famous killer Hongyao, stood quietly in front of him, facing the people inside.

As dusk fell, a ray of sunlight shone in, sprinkled on the piled weeds, highlighting that it had been dyed a bloodbath-like crimson.

Xiao Ran propped up his weak body and looked at the person with a complicated expression: "It's really...it's you..."

He had guessed the current scene a long time ago, but he refused to believe it in his heart. He waited until someone came to see the familiar yet unfamiliar face before realizing that everything was true.After Xiao Ran's words fell, he stared blankly at the boy by the dim candlelight.The people outside the prison did not make any sound, their eyelashes trembled occasionally, and there was no trace of remorse or annoyance in their eyes.

Xiao Ran felt that his time began to dissipate between his fingers, and the scene in front of him gradually became blurred.He tried hard to support his broken body again, but even though he had tried his best, it only made his breathing more rapid.He bit his lips tightly, raised his head weakly, and said, "No matter why you betrayed us, I only ask you for one thing, save him."

But Mingming couldn't help coughing after only saying a word, and the noise became louder and louder until he vomited a big mouthful of blood.

Finally, Shen Mingke seemed to be unable to bear it, turned his head slightly and dared not look any further, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry."

Xiao Ran looked at him with red eyes, and crawled forward trembling until his hands gripped the prison bars in front of him: "I beg you, now... only you can save him."

Shen Mingke still repeated: "I'm sorry."

"why……"

The candle flickered slightly, Xiao Ran couldn't see his expression clearly anymore, he could only hear the boy in front of him keep saying "I'm sorry".

"You know... only you can save him...cough cough!" Xiao Qi gasped in blood, bowed his head and coughed up another big mouthful of blood, but he didn't let go of his grip on the prison bar, "Shen Mingke, what's wrong with you, he is you!" Brother!"

The young man squatted down, Xiao Ran seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and his godless eyes glowed a little more...

However, in the next second, what the young man said made Xiao Ran feel chills all over his body: "Since the day I left Honggu, I have no choice. What is the difference between you and me? Didn't you also betray Feng Landian and Ye Ye?" Is Shuyang going to Honggu to be with my brother?"

"Ming Ke, Shen Yi and I have never betrayed Shu Yang, all this is just a surefire way to escape..."

Shen Mingke shook his head: "Don't lie..."

"I didn't lie!" Xiao Ran didn't know how to explain it, let alone how to make him believe him.

The corners of Shen Mingke's mouth curled up slowly and weakly, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry on his pale face, looking extremely sad: "This is my last chance... If I can only save one person, I have no choice but to abandon you... I Don't ask for any forgiveness, even if I go to hell, I will never look back."

"Even...with your brother's...life...?"

Shen Mingke took out a cold dagger out of nowhere, and it was even more breathtaking in this winter prison...

bass!

The sharp blade slashed towards the prison bar, and a long imprint slanted down, engraved on it fiercely, extremely hideous.

Only resoluteness remained in Shen Mingke's eyes, and he said: "Yes, even at the cost of my brother's life! From today on, I, Shen Mingke, Xiao Ran, and Shen Yi'en will renounce our friendship, and we will never see each other again.

Every word and every sentence is sonorous and powerful, like a determined heart.

Xiao Ran's eyes were full of despair, he paused every word: "Ming Ke, you will regret it."

Shen Mingke just took one last look at him and the man beside him, without saying a word, he left the prison without looking back.

Xiao Ran had only the last ounce of strength left, and he silently looked at Shen Yi who had his eyes closed tightly among the weeds.

You know how much I wish you were alive.

But maybe this is fate.

Forget it... It is painful to live such an ignoble life now.

Life is like a mayfly, prosperity is fleeting, and I will always be by your side.

No matter, life or death.

Shen Mingke didn't know how long he had walked out of the prison, but he suddenly stopped, and the heavy snow swayed down, and he turned his head slowly... There was a vast expanse behind him, and he could no longer see anything.

He was in a daze, and the cold air rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.An overwhelming and abnormal fear struck instantly, this kind of fear was like someone was going to cut open his internal organs.

He really wanted to walk back, but in the end he just gritted his teeth and turned around without looking back.

Ten days later—

Ye Shuyang closed his eyes tightly, and the hand holding his forehead was trembling. He slowly raised his head to look at the young man standing in front of the desk: "This is the answer you gave..."

It seems to be a question, but it is just a statement of a fact.

"You mean... you two are not in harmony... what he said... is true..."

Ye Shuyang smiled wryly: "How could he lie to you? This is just a game. Only in this way can the four of us escape. I thought I had a chance to win...but...

"It's just that I never thought that this game would be a total loss...I didn't have time to tell you, so I could only gamble like this. What I bet...was your feelings for them. The four of us grew up together , and regardless of whether you and Shen Yi are real brothers, even if they are not, they are like brothers, not to mention that we have experienced such life and death.

"Why... are you so cruel?"

The boy froze in place.

"Or, since before, we are all just irrelevant people to you?

"Back when you chose to leave us, I thought you could save your life, but I never felt that you were betraying us. Because I know that many times it is a last resort. But now... probably I did something wrong."

The young man looked at him, the man in front of him had heartache in his eyes.He suddenly laughed out loud, laughing so hard that it seemed as if he was about to burst into tears.

- Cruel?

—An irrelevant person?

--make a mistake? ...

What's wrong?Shouldn't you trust him?Shouldn't believe he won't kill them, should he?

"I'm ruthless, Ye Shuyang, you should know from the day I left you that I'm a ruthless person!!" the young man roared, tears streaming down his face.Then he laughed again, and the tears flowed more ferociously with a smile.

After hearing this, the man couldn't say anything.There was only desolate laughter that filled the room, and it didn't stop until a long time ago.

The young man wiped the tears off his face with a smile, and asked, "You are probably very disappointed in me, aren't you?"

Ye Shuyang replied: "I used to believe in you the most, and I also hoped that our future...wouldn't be like this...people go to the sky."

The boy listened silently until he heard the sentence——

"You're right, Minko. I'm disappointed in you."

Turn away.

Ye Shuyang watched his leaving back silently, he thought they would never see each other again, the fate they couldn't escape, maybe the master was right from the beginning, once you choose to betray him, everything is doomed Finish.

It's just that Ye Shuyang never thought that he would see the boy he loved so much again, but in such a tragic and decisive way.

The winter wind at night was extremely fierce, and Shen Mingke suddenly remembered that Liushang song that Ye Shuyang blew while standing in front of his couch many years ago.He leaned against the window lattice, smiling and listening.

How many years have passed, although they have been separated for several years, the tune is still in my ears.

Ming Ke changed into red clothes, and drew his own eyebrows in front of the mirror, which made him look even more charming.But if someone else sees him, they will definitely point at him and yell at him, men with thrushes, people who are neither human nor ghost.

Shi in red looks ominous, he is an ominous person in the first place.

Every choice he makes is wrong.Every decision hurts someone else.

He was so selfish that he killed his brother and best friend just for his so-called love.

In the stillness of the night, he walked through the long street and stepped on the cold stone ground with a little moss growing on it.Standing by the bridge, looking at the endless night.

Someone behind it seems to be saying:

——Why are you so cruel?

——We are actually just people who have nothing to do with you...

——I did something wrong...

—Minke, I am very disappointed in you.

Leaning down, with a sound of "flutter", the icy cold water wrapped around him and covered his head in an instant.

There were large splashes of water, and the ripples rolled, but finally calmed down.

Ye Shuyang, you probably won't believe me anymore, but I really... really regret it.

It's just that all of this is already a foregone conclusion.

The author has something to say: Excess chapter...Moving the wedge here should make it easier to see what happened...
