Absurd deduction game

Yu Xing paused and immediately put away all the thoughts in his mind.

Some things will be perceived by certain beings even if they think about it. Isn't that how the Pearl changes?

But he didn't think too deeply just now, so the doctor probably just noticed something was wrong and didn't see everything.

"It's nothing, it's just that I stayed here for too long. If I don't go out, I might be suspected." Yu Xing said this to end the conversation.

"The transaction content has been determined. I will take action when you need help, or if you want me to do anything for you, you can tell me directly." The doctor always has a gentle and gentle feeling when his face is blurred.

He bowed towards Yu Xing: "I think you don't want me to appear in front of others at the same time as you, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, his figure suddenly blurred into a strange light and shadow, and the murmur coming from the image suddenly became noisy, as if hundreds of people were whispering in his ears.

Fortunately, this sound only lasted for a moment, and then disappeared in the distorted space together with the group of light and shadow.

The ancestral hall was quiet, not even a single candle was extinguished, the candlelight was peaceful, and the aura of blessing from General Fang's tablet shrouded the place just like before.

Yu Xing glanced at the sign for the last time. The doctor said that there was no spirit of the general on the tablet, and there was no remnant of the soul of the general. But he always felt that the sign standing here seemed like General Fang was witnessing it with his own eyes with a smile. Everything in the temple.

This should be an illusion.

In other words, it's just a strange feeling that remains in my heart after hearing all the stories.

Yu Xing chuckled: "I'll leave first. General, if nothing happens, we won't see each other again."

After saying that, black mist surged up, extinguishing all the candles he lit in an instant.

The ancestral hall returned to darkness again, with only a faint ray of sky coming through the open door.

Yu Xing raised his legs and stepped out of the ancestral hall, turned around and closed the door, and then slowly walked out of the remote courtyard where the ancestral hall was located.

As he expected, just after stepping around a corner, he saw Fang Xiao standing there with a gloomy expression.

Fang Xiao and him looked at each other across a narrow corridor, and there was a faint wind blowing.

The young man who looked somewhat similar to him suddenly smiled, with a gentle voice, like an older brother with a very good temper asking a very ordinary question to his younger brother on an ordinary day.

"where did you go?"

Yu Xing blinked and slowly walked forward. Fang Xiao, who saw his actions, squinted her eyes and looked behind him without trace.

Of course there was nothing behind him.

"Brother, why are you here looking for me? Is there something urgent?" Yu Xing asked without answering.

"I saw you wandering around the house after you came out from mom's place. I thought you might not have been back for a long time and were unfamiliar with the layout of the house, so it wouldn't hurt to wander around with you." Fang Xiao looked at the man who came closer. My younger brother said with a smile, "I just never thought that you would disappear while strolling around."

"I originally thought that you were going to play with your two friends. When I went over, I discovered that your two friends were learning to make wood carvings from the gardener, and you were not there."

Fang Xiao raised his hand and pressed Yu Xing's shoulder: "You are my lost relative. You should know how nervous I am about you. Shouldn't I be anxious when I suddenly find you missing?"

What he said sounded nice, but the underlying meaning was——

As long as he wanted to, every part of the Fang Mansion was under his surveillance. However, a living person like Yu Xing disappeared, and there was no trace of him anywhere.

This situation is too much like running away.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Yu Xing's eyebrows surged with surprise, "If you can't guess where I am, why are you waiting for me here?"

Fang Xiao paused slightly.

Yes, he didn't know why. After he couldn't find Yu Xing anywhere, he thought angrily that this person had escaped, but he walked and unconsciously ended up here.

Then he remembered that there was such a remote courtyard in the Fang Mansion, which seemed to be the ancestral hall of the Fang family.

The concept of the ancestral hall seemed to have disappeared from his mind for a long time. Even though he was used to controlling the whole place, he actually completely forgot about this place.

In fact, when he got here, he guessed that his brother had probably entered the ancestral hall. However, the thought that his brother might have escaped made him uneasy, and his mood inevitably fell into a depression.

He had to wait here. He had to see his brother and confirm his existence as soon as possible. Otherwise, he thought he might go crazy.

Fang Xiao didn't realize that even in this situation, he didn't have the slightest idea of ​​going to the ancestral hall to find someone.

He only asked vaguely uneasily: "Why do you want to go there?"

Yu Xing's expression was natural, and he walked past Fang Xiao's figure and said as he walked: "I came here while strolling, and suddenly I remembered that when I was a child, I was often dragged here to kneel down by that old guy Fang Deming."

Fang Xiao's eyes followed Yu Xing, and he followed Yu Xing. At the same time, he recalled the past because of Yu Xing's words.

It seems to be true. When his brother was very young, Fang Deming would scold him every time he made a mistake, or even hit him. But when Fang Deming was particularly busy or with Xu Wan, the old guy would even hit him. He refused to take the time to scold him. He just waved his hand impatiently and drove his brother to the ancestral hall to punish him by kneeling down.

Every time I knelt in the ancestral hall, it was a good day and night. Once, Fang Deming completely forgot about his younger brother, and only remembered it four days later - Fang Xiao reminded him without leaving a trace.

Only then did Fang Deming change his expression. After all, he was considered his biological son. He took Fang Xiao and Grandpa Gardener to the ancestral hall in a hurry. After opening the door, he let Grandpa Gardener in and took his younger brother out.

At that time, Fang Xiao saw Fang Xing fainting in the arms of the gardener with a disheveled look on his face. His already thin body became even more slender, and his whole body was like a piece of paper, ready to be blown away at any moment.

"As soon as I got here, I remembered the days when I was punished before, and those harsh accusations without asking the reason." Yu Xing's steps were not hurried or slow, and his tone was not excited, but with a faint smile.

Fang Xiao, who was following him and could only see half of his profile, didn't know what he was thinking at this time.

Is it resentment, disgust, or nostalgia?

"Speaking of which, brother, you seem to have never been punished to kneel before, right?" Yu Xing tilted his head.

Fang Xiao saw the faint smile on his lips at this moment, and was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "I was not punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. If I made a mistake, I would be punished to kneel in front of him directly. Or...get one of the few people I trust most in the port area and let me chop off one of their fingers."

"Fang Deming said, I shouldn't make those stupid mistakes, but I am the one who wants to inherit his family business. I made wrong decisions, which caused losses to the port's business. He can't treat me like that according to the port's rules. so……"

There was a trace of mockery on Fang Xiao's lips: "If I make a mistake once, I will punish my cronies with my own hands."

"Fang Deming asked me to watch their expressions when their fingers were chopped off. He told me to remember that an incompetent leader can't even protect his cronies. It's my incompetence that will hurt them."

Fang Deming treats his two sons in two completely different ways.

It was also the first time that Yu Xing heard about this past event: "How old were you at that time?"

"About ten years old." Fang Xiao replied calmly.

When he was ten years old, Fang Xing was only six years old, and he had no idea what his brother was doing except bullying him.

Yu Xing couldn't help but sigh: "...Fang Deming is really outrageous."

"Yeah, I think so too. I started to get involved in port affairs slowly at such a young age, and most of those close friends were young men, seventeen or eighteen years old."

"Only they would think that I am a very funny and pitiful child. Once we get to know each other, they will also know my methods."

"And those who have worked with Fang Deming for many years will only flatter me as a young master in a self-righteous way. They feel that even if Fang Deming sends me to observe and learn, he will not be too cruel to me, so they are polite to me on the surface. Okay I was provided with good food and drink, but I was actually not allowed to do anything.”

Fang Xiao felt that it had been a long time since he recalled the past like he did today. Maybe chatting with his younger brother always reminded him of his boyhood unconsciously.

"So I made the gang's 'old men' who looked down on me suffer misfortune one by one, and those half-grown men became my cronies... and also my friends."

"Fang Deming used my friends' fingers to force me not to make mistakes. Of course I don't dare to make them again. Every time I see the missing parts in their hands, I will think of every immature decision I made."

A young and promising heir was forced out of this cruel environment. At the same time, he sacrificed not only his own soul, but also the bodies of others.

However, the drive and fierceness of his boyhood were shattered the moment he discovered the truth about Nanshui Town.

Fang Xiao once trembled when she chopped off their fingers with her own hands, burst into tears, and begged Fang Deming not to do this.

Later, when he looked at the confidant who was pulled in front of him, he raised the knife and dropped it without hesitation. But when the confidant held his hands and screamed, Fang Xiao could feel a trace of hidden resentment in Fang Xiao's eyes - Fang Deming's.

Until he learned that the gang at the port was fake and was created by Fang Deming out of boredom. Whether it was the old gang members he hated or the newly recruited young cronies, they were all just a matter of Fang Deming's words.

[The gang is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, and personnel change quickly, but those who remain are very capable, ruthless, and poisonous. 】

Everyone in the gang was born in this passage, and then followed the most basic logic and became almost real citizens of Nanshui Town.

Fang Xiao only found it boring, friendship? friend? It doesn't exist anymore. Who wants to be friends with something created by his disgusting father? It will only make him look like a fool for having shed tears.

He was also in his early twenties at that time, and he was tired of playing such boring pretend games with Fang Deming. Because he no longer focused on port affairs, the so-called "wrong decisions" increased instead of decreasing. Fang Deming repeated his old tricks, and then Tell him that because of his recent poor behavior, this time, if one finger isn't enough, cut off the entire arm.

The person who was pulled over was a very young boy, only sixteen years old. He had been following Fang Xiao since he joined the gang. He had a very lovable personality. He was too smart, and he had a tact that was inconsistent with his age.

Young people can learn everything very quickly. Usually, Fang Xiao calls him "big brother" and always smiles. It can even be said that Fang Xiao indulges him very much, and he also understands the limits of this indulgence. Everyone in the gang knew that this kid was highly regarded by Fang Xiao.

Fang Deming naturally knew how to poke at Fang Xiao's weakness. Since he was so important, he had made so many mistakes in recent days and used this young man to do it.

Not a finger, but an arm.

The young man's face was pale and he was extremely frightened. When he saw Fang Xiao picking up the knife, he trembled all over and forced himself to calm down: "Brother, brother... please think of a way to save me. You must have a way. You saved me." , my brother will go up the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​​​fire for you! I will kill you all!"

"I'm sorry." Fang Xiao indulged the young man, because the young man was the only one who dared to call him brother as soon as he came.

He liked this title very much.

Even if the boy is just a fake person, it can still bring him a little pleasure.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Fang Deming's domineering and seemingly under control look, as if he was waiting to see him regretting his mistake, and then after he chopped off the young man's arm, he calmly said, "This is it." The price for your poor performance." Fang Xiao suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.

That was the first time he smiled when he "punished himself" in front of Fang Deming.

The sword flashed, and what fell was not the young man's arm, but the young man's head.

The mouth that was constantly begging for mercy was still open, and the young man's head rolled down to Fang Deming's feet, with fear and pleading in his eyes - the knife was so fast that the young man didn't even have time to show a shocked expression.

"I also know that I haven't done well recently." Fang Xiao gently put the machete on the table with a deep smile, "One arm is too light. Wouldn't father be more satisfied with this kind of punishment?"

Fang Deming saw the coldness in his eyes and never punished him in this way again - just one glance at some eyes would tell that such punishment would no longer be useful to Fang Xiao.

Indulging the boy who called him brother was just to make himself happy. Fang Xiao pulled away from the memories. Now that his real brother was right in front of him, this was what made him happiest.

His biological brother is still fighting for him: "When I was a child, I didn't know you had gone through so much. I always felt that your fate was unfair. You wore bright clothes every day, and there were a lot of people who could boss you around. You were so majestic."

"Now I understand, it's really not easy for you, brother." Yu Xing was still laughing when he talked about kneeling in the ancestral hall, but his tone became darker when he commented on Fang Xiao.

"It's not easy for you to be punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall." Fang Xiao still remembers that time when Fang Xing didn't eat or drink for four days and almost died.

When he was a child, he didn't have the opportunity to exchange thoughts with his younger brother. Now, he suddenly asked: "Are you afraid when you kneel alone in the ancestral hall?"

Fang Deming is very wicked.

At first, Fang Xing was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and was not allowed to eat, drink, or light candles. Fang Xing was timid and afraid of the dark, so he knelt until dark and then knocked on the door. Fang Deming asked Nanny Li to add a lock outside the door. The children inside would not be let out no matter how loudly they cried.

Even if the child cried heartbrokenly, kept saying that he knew he was wrong, and kept saying "please daddy," those voices could not even reach Fang Deming's ears, because Fang Deming specifically told him not to let Fang Xing's matter bother him.

After a few times, Fang Xing seemed to be no longer afraid of the dark, and knew that asking for help and crying were useless, so the ancestral hall became quiet.

Fang Xiao pretended to be passing by like before, wanting to know if his brother was okay now, but all he heard was the sound of wind and an eerie silence.

Every time after that, Fang Xing was imprisoned and released calmly. The gloom on his body became more and more intense. He locked himself in a protective shell and regarded everyone in the Fang family as enemies, isolated from the wall of his heart. .

Fang Xiao couldn't understand Fang Xing's thoughts.

"I'm not afraid." Yu Xing was now Fang Xing. When he heard such questions, although he had no memory of Fang Xing's childhood, he knew the answer when he thought of the tablet of General Fang in the ancestral hall.

"I might have been a little scared at first, but after a few times I got used to it. Later, not only was I no longer scared, I actually liked it."

"...Like it?" Fang Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, every time I make a mistake, I hope that Fang Deming will tell me to go to the ancestral hall when he is not free." Yu Xing spread his hands, with a hint of cunning in his voice, "Although I will be hungry, it also means Then I won’t have to deal with Fang Deming and Xu Wan for several days.”

"And at first I was afraid that someone would come to check. I knelt so seriously that I couldn't stand up when I was let out. My legs felt like they were going to be broken. But then I found that except for the gardener, no one else seemed to be able to stand up. I like to step into the ancestral hall, so I sleep in it with peace of mind."

Fang Xiao: "..."

Yu Xing turned around and gestured with his hands to describe to him: "There are several futons in the ancestral hall. The futons can be used as beds together. Although it will be cold at night, I still feel at ease. Just be colder if it is cold. It's better." It’s quiet.”

No one bothered me, and no one hit me.

"Even if Grandpa Gardener comes to pick me up and sees me sleeping, he won't tell Fang Deming. Grandpa Gardener is really kind. What's more, I sleep well every time and wake up immediately when I hear the door. , kneel down again before the door opens."

Yu Xing looked at Fang Xiao and seemed to talk to him about his little cleverness when he was a child without any grudges. His smile grew bigger and bigger: "I would pretend that I couldn't move my legs and let the gardener help me out, and then I can get the right to stay in my room for a day without moving, and even the food is brought to my room by the gardener. Hehe, I have never been a gangster."

When talking about this kind of thing, Yu Xing was very excited, as if he is still very proud to this day.

Fang Xiao was really stunned at this moment. He felt something welling up in his heart along with the smile on his brother's face. It was like someone was punching up under the thick ice, trying to Break the ice.

This dull, even tingling feeling in his brain couldn't be explained exactly what it was, but the uneasiness that had vaguely spread in his heart just now because his brother went to the ancestral hall completely disappeared.

It turns out that my younger brother's memories of being in the ancestral hall when he was a child were not bad. He stayed in the ancestral hall for a while, and his mood improved after he came out.

Not only that, his younger brother was willing to pass on this feeling to him, and he had never shared his emotions with him with such enthusiasm since his younger brother was born.

Fang Xiao subconsciously stopped in place and raised his hands to cover his chest. He felt that his heart was beating vigorously, which proved that this moment was not an illusion, and everything he heard was so vivid.

Yu Xing noticed that he didn't continue walking and turned back inexplicably: "Brother?"

"It's nothing." Fang Xiao came back to his senses. When Yu Xing just walked out of the ancestral hall, the suppressed sense of danger had disappeared. "I am also happy to hear that you are happy."

They had already walked back to Xu Wan's courtyard. Fang Xiao took steps again and said with a smile, "I haven't felt this happy for a long time."

"...It's weird to be happy after staying at home with Xu Wan and Fang Deming all day long." Yu Xing took the opportunity to belittle the two of them without hesitation, and mentioned it in passing, "Brother, we can go to the Ruixue Festival tomorrow. , you can definitely relax and unwind.”

"Not only are there festivals, but there are also living people in this tour group. To you, it should be considered lively, right?"

Ruixue Festival...

The joy in Fang Xiao's heart suddenly faded away.

He was looking forward to traveling with his brother. Not to mention that this was the first time they had gone out together as adults. Even when they were children, they rarely had such an opportunity.

My brother is looking forward to it.

And I hope he can relax and play at the Auspicious Snow Festival.

His brother is so kind to him now. There is no misunderstanding or secret between them. It would be great if it could always be like this.

However, if Fang Xing knew that the purpose of the Ruixue Festival was to allow him to be completely assimilated and recognized at the festival, he would never be able to think about leaving...

Fang Xiao's pupils shrank.

He found that he didn't want to see how much disappointment and anger Fang Xing would have on his face when he learned that he had been cheated again.

Moreover, the process of the Ruixue Festival was designed by him personally. He extracted the feelings that he had experienced over the years of being assimilated and distorted his cognition while resisting that belief, and put them into the Ruixue Festival.

When the sacrifice begins, Fang Xing will feel all his struggles and final compromises over the years in a short period of time.

Fang Xing's consciousness will also move towards a compromise ending, and then the dust will settle, he will accept his faith, and become someone who can control the entire Nanshui Town with him.

However, as long as Fang Xing is recognized by "it" and is qualified to control Nanshui Town, he will definitely know the truth about Ruixue Festival. Accepting faith does not mean that he will accept all family affection. Fang Xiao himself and Fang Deming are very clear about this. example.

When the time comes, when the younger brother learns everything, he will only remain loyal to this belief in his heart, but he will definitely be disappointed and disgusted with this brother who is coaxing, designing, and unscrupulous!

My younger brother is still happy that we can play together tomorrow, but comparing the two, he is actually so miserable.

Fang Xiao's head seemed to have been hit by a hammer, and a sense of reason that had abandoned him long ago quietly returned.

Why should he help the snake to let his brother stay at the expense of betraying brotherhood? Shouldn't the python do this kind of thing himself?

Yes, what exactly is he thinking? What he wants is for his brother to return to Fang Mansion, to come back to accompany him, to control Nanshui Town with him, and to welcome a free future together. The premise is that my brother still remembers him!

But everything that is about to come at the Auspicious Snow Festival will undoubtedly break this premise.

How could he make such a stupid decision?

Fang Xiao's mind began to become chaotic, and he covered his head. The stinging pain fermented in his head, as if a pair of snake eyes looked at him from the void.

He squatted down in pain, covered in cold sweat, and couldn't speak at all. Even his younger brother, whose face suddenly changed, ran to him and asked him what was wrong. He couldn't answer.

"I……"

Fang Xiao's hands were holding her short hair because of the pain, and she uttered broken syllables in her throat, but they had no actual meaning.

Yu Xing stood next to Fang Xiao, looking down at Fang Xiao who suddenly had an attack, with a cold look on his shocked expression.

Although he would not use any curse power in front of Fang Xiao to avoid being discovered by Xiao Qianjie who was behind Fang Xiao's consciousness, his perception was still there and he could clearly feel that Fang Xiao was no longer as invulnerable as before.

There was a very unstable fluctuation of consciousness coming from Fang Xiao's body. The irritable feeling was so contagious that even Yu Xing became vaguely irritable.

[...His cognitive distortion is shaking. 】

The female voice of the system took the initiative.

Yu Xing picked up the wool once in the ancestral hall, which also revealed that it can speak actively. The system simply stopped pretending and made a sound whenever it wanted to.

"Cognitive distortion wavering?" Yu Xing was also a little surprised. The human brain instinctively rejects cognitive distortions imposed by external forces. Fang Xiao took this rejection to the extreme and delayed it for so many years.

But when the cognitive distortion is completely successful, it means there is no way back, because even the consciousness of "resistance" has been wiped out.

It's similar to someone telling Fang Xiao that you have the thoughts you have today because of that snake. That's not what you originally wanted.

Fang Xiao would only think, right? Fortunately, that snake changed my mind. Otherwise, I would have been limited to the past my whole life. I really have to thank that snake.

Not to mention, he is still Xiaoqianyue's puppet, and most of his consciousness is controlled by Xiaoqianyue. For example, he transformed the story form of Nanshui Town from a book into a movie, and then designed a series of horrors for the tour group when they arrived. Another fatal plot.

Fang Xiao must not know why he did these things, because this was a decision Qianjie controlled him to make.

But he usually doesn't even think about whether these things are what he wants to do. In his cognition, he has lost the ability to doubt these things.

This is really unexplainable. People can rescue hostages who are being coerced, but they cannot rescue brainwashed people who want to be hostages.

However, now, the system says that Fang Xiao's cognitive distortion has begun to waver.

What Yu Xing felt himself also came from the turmoil at the level of direction consciousness.

So he didn't doubt the correctness of what the system said. He was just surprised at how Fang Xiao did it and why it happened suddenly.

[Because there are more variables. 】

[When he resisted the cognitive distortion before, you were not by his side. Therefore, the cognitive distortion caused by the snake was missing from your sample. But in fact, you are the person who is easiest to change Fang Xiao's mind. 】

Yu Xing thought about it and probably understood.

Others said to Fang Xiao, your thoughts have been controlled by snakes, and I don't like how you look now.

Fang Xiao only thinks that it is none of his business whether others like him or not. He likes his current ideas very much. On the contrary, he thinks his previous ideas were very childish and feels honored that the snake can control him.

In this way, Xiao Qianjie can ensure that Fang Xiao does not get out of control no matter what.

However, when a sufficiently important variable suddenly appears, and Qianjie doesn't get a way to deal with it in advance, it will become...

Fang Xing said to Fang Xiao, your thoughts have been controlled by the snake, and I don't like the way you are now.

Fang Xiao sneered, thinking that his brother would understand sooner or later.

Fang Xiao hesitated. The idea of ​​"protecting his younger brother" was engraved in his bones and made him feel a little sorry for his younger brother.

Fang Xiao was frightened and began to reflect. He felt that he was very good the way he was now, but he would actually feel sorry for his brother because of this. Is there really something wrong with him being like this?

When the cognitive distortion of perfection creates the first cracks, it ceases to be perfect.

Yu Xing deliberately showed high interest just now. His original intention was to show that going to the ancestral hall would not affect Fang Xiao's plan, so as to offset Fang Xiao's suspicion about the ancestral hall.

Then he brought up the topic of going to the Ruixue Festival tomorrow. He wanted to ask about the memorial attire...

Who would have thought that it would touch Fang Xiao's unknown nerve and make his originally very stable knowledge begin to waver again.

"There won't be any problems with him like this." Yu Xing's expression gradually became numb, and he communicated with the system in his mind, "I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I have already planned my next actions. When he comes, It kind of messed with my train of thought.”

【……】

Who would have thought that this would happen?

The system analyzed it.

[First of all, Fang Xiao himself is very resistant to cognitive distortions and has experience in resistance. Secondly, Fang Xiao developed an almost paranoid desire to protect his younger brother because of his childhood experiences. 】

[Moreover, the snake used the book improperly and just lacked your sample. Finally, Fang Mansion also has the tablet of General Fang as a blessing. 】

[The sum of multiple factors met certain conditions, causing Fang Xiao to waver unexpectedly. 】

"I understand the truth. Then you can analyze it further and see what the consequences will be if he wavers now." Yu Xing said with a paralyzed face.

As long as Qianjie is not around, someone like Fang Xiao, who is able to break back even after being completely distorted, is like a god descending to earth.

But Qianyue still controls most of his consciousness. When he shakes, Qianyue is naturally the first to notice.

The cognitive distortion of the new puppet has not been completed yet, but the old puppet has problems first. Will Qianyue still use the body of the old puppet to take the new puppet candidate to participate in tomorrow's Ruixue Festival as planned?

This was all far-fetched. He was not even sure yet to what extent Fang Xiao was shaken, and whether Qianjie had the ability to quickly suppress his cracked cognition and regain control of Fang Xiao's consciousness in a short period of time.

What needs to be worried most is that because of him, Fang Xiao has escaped from Xiao Qianjie's control, and Xiao Qianjie will be afraid of him because of this.

This really affected his plans.

[We can only wait for the results. 】

The system no longer gives a definite answer. What it has done so far has gone too far, and it cannot go any further.

This reaction was expected by Yu Xing. He closed his eyes and still had to count on himself.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Do you need me to do anything?" Fang Xiao was still struggling in pain, so Yu Xing also squatted down, stabilized Fang Xiao's shoulders with both hands, and then shook it, "How about I call the doctor? !”

"Brother!" Fang Xiao didn't know if he heard what he said, but suddenly stretched out a hand to grab Yu Xing's sleeve.

"I'm here, what do you want to say?" Yu Xing came closer.

"If I...did something to hurt you..." Fang Xiao raised his head with difficulty. One of his eyes was covered in red, as if the capillaries near the eyeballs had burst due to high pressure.

The two looked at each other.

Something that hurts my brother.

They had maintained a tacit understanding since Fang Xing escaped from Nanshui Town. Both of them understood that when they were children, Fang Xiao snatched Fang Xing's things and slandered Fang Xing for making mistakes, which resulted in Fang Xing being beaten and scolded. It's not something to hurt him.

Because everything Fang Xiao did was to allow his brother to leave smoothly.

What can really be defined as harm is something that goes against Fang Xing's wishes and causes irreversible bad consequences to Fang Xing.

Fang Xiao was already in a trance. Deep snake pupils seemed to appear in his vision a hundred times larger than before, and waves of familiar dizziness hit his brain.

But he still wanted to take advantage of the moment he was awake to ask the question.

"Would you... forgive me if I...?"

In addition to the struggle to resist the pain, there was also a stronger emotion in the red eyes.

Yu Xing was stunned for a moment.

Fang Xiao was reminding him.

Fang Xiao was reminding him in this seemingly questioning way that if he stayed any longer, he would be hurt.

He may only have time to say this, without asking for help or gaining any chance for himself to get out of the quagmire.

Instead, tell him to run.

There were only two words written in his eyes - run!

There was a hint of coolness in Yu Xing's eyes.

Facing "brother who suddenly felt uncomfortable," the expression on his face faded, and then he replied: "No."

Fang Xiao's body stiffened.

"Even if it's you, if you let me come back just to hurt me, then... I will never forgive you."

Yu Xing reached out and wiped away the cold sweat on Fang Xiao's forehead. The smile at the corner of his mouth was a little sick: "Brother, I thought you were going to harm me from the beginning, so I didn't want to stay in Fang Mansion."

"But you told me with your actions that you will not treat me badly."

"I can feel from you that you are still the same person when you were a child. You will protect me no matter what and help me do what I want to do."

"That's how I feel. It shouldn't be wrong, right? Brother? Unless... your acting skills are better now than when you were a child, and you decided to completely deceive me, and even take revenge on me for leaving alone."

"No -" Fang Xiao's vision turned black and his ears were buzzing. He wanted to tell his brother that he was not like this... at least he didn't actively want to be like this, but he was speechless.

"Now I have decided to stay in Fang Mansion because I also want to live with you. You have helped me gain freedom for so many years. Why can't I give you happiness for the rest of my life?" Yu Xing continued with a serious tone. Extremely calm and indifferent.

"But if you lied to me from the beginning, you might as well have spoken harshly to me, threatened me, and forced me to stay from the beginning, instead of deceiving my feelings."

"Brother, if you lied to me, I will never forgive you." Yu Xing smiled.

"I am such a decisive and selfish person. Otherwise, why would I let you suffer alone in Nanshui Town and run away to the outside world to live the life I want? If you are good to me, I will be good to you. But as long as you hurt me, no matter how good you have been to me, I will abandon you without hesitation."

"So tell me quickly, you didn't lie to me, right?"

Fang Xiao suddenly stopped struggling at this moment.

He slowly calmed his breathing, then raised his head calmly, returning to his previous appearance.

In those dark eyes, there seemed to be a snake-like cold gaze slowly sliding across.

Cold eyes looked at Yu Xing from beginning to end, and then, Fang Xiao showed a gentle and dangerous smile: "Of course, I will never lie to my brother when I lie to anyone. Besides, how could I hurt you?"

The cognitive rift was repaired by Chiyue.

Sure enough, it was just a momentary waver, and it was nothing to Qianjie.

But Yu Xing had already given a seed for the new plan in his answer just now.

【new plan? 】

[You overturned the original plan in such a short period of time and prepared a new plan? 】

The system couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm, I didn't want to cause trouble for myself, but who made Fang Xiao work so hard?" Yu Xing replied in his heart and chuckled, "People who have completely distorted cognition are basically hopeless, right? ?”

"When I destroy the shooting equipment, the person who can stop me the most at that time is probably Fang Xiao who is next to me. Qianjie will first use his body to make some moves to threaten me. No matter what, Fang Xiao's body and consciousness, There is almost no possibility of salvation.”

In this deduction, the only person worth taking away was Mingzhu.

Except for Mingzhu, everyone in the Fang Mansion will die. Even the old gardener will return to his original ending after losing the "blessing" of the Fang Mansion because he is too angry with death.

"But now I plan to change the outcome that can be seen at a glance." Yu Xing joked in his heart, "Let's make a new plan."

"Fang Xiao is a person I like very much - in terms of causing trouble for Qianjie."

"This guy didn't deserve such a boring ending anyway. It would make me very disappointed."

"I want him alive."

【This is impossible. 】

The system is always so cold and impersonal.

"Who says it can't be done? You should have calculated the answer based on the existing conditions. But then I have to change the existing conditions." The coolness in Yu Xing's eyes finally couldn't cover up the crazy look further down.

He's just a lunatic.

Being forced to work is boring, so I just want it to end quickly.

But now, he has found a satisfying pleasure in the boring process of working. In this case, it doesn't matter even if it causes some trouble for himself.

Because it pleases him.

The system goes silent.

Yu Xing helped Fang Xiao up and asked Fang Xiao to stand against him. He smiled and said, "It's good that my brother is okay. He scared me a little."
