Man at the top of the food chain

White sky, white earth.

Nothing but white.

Li Anping walked alone on this white earth.

Endless white, nothing but Li Anping.

His eyes were empty, his face was full of confusion...

He walked alone on this earth.

Keep walking...

Keep walking...

Suddenly, a black crow flew over his head.

Quack! Quack!

The crow stopped beside him, tilted its head, and looked at Li Anping who kept moving forward, as if wondering why he kept walking?

Quack! Quack!

The crow flew to Li Anping's shoulder and looked at him quietly.

Li Anping seemed to be unaware, his face was wooden, he still walked forward, kept walking.

The crow suddenly opened its mouth, its upper and lower jaws opened 180 degrees incredibly, blood kept flowing from the corners of its mouth, and the whole mouth seemed to be torn apart.

The big mouth bit towards Li Anping's head. Li Anping had no resistance. His neck was broken and his whole head was swallowed up. The blood in his chest gushed out from the wound like a fountain...

...

...

"Ah!!"

Li Anping woke up on the bed.

How many times.

Since he lost the lawsuit, he has had the same nightmare countless times. Every time he was eaten by a crow.

But after waking up from the nightmare again today, Li Anping did not worry or think about it anymore.

Because...

Compared to the world in the nightmare, reality is the real hell.

"Grandma...is really dead." He let out a painful roar in his throat, his limbs curled up, like a poor worm lying on the bed.

"My only relative is also dead."

"Am I really wrong?"

"Why is it wrong to insist on justice? Why does the pursuit of justice have such a result?"

"Why does God punish me like this?"

Li Anping wanted to cry, but his tears had already dried up.

He wanted to beat the bed with his hands, but he couldn't even raise his hands.

He even needs help with his urination and defecation now.

He can only whimper softly every midnight.

Punishing himself in nightmares.

"Ah!!" Li Anping slammed his head against the bed. Only the physical pain could slightly ease his mental despair.

Outside the ward, the policeman sent by the court to watch over him knocked hard on the door, making a bang. He cursed:

"Don't scream like a ghost. This is a ward. Don't disturb others' rest."

Li Anping did not respond, but he did stop screaming.

When all methods were exhausted, when all hope disappeared, when the only relative died.

Li Anping was desperate.

He thought of...

death.

"Don't you want revenge?"

At this moment, a voice passed through his mind.

Li Anping looked around in doubt, but did not see any figure.

"Don't look around, I'm in your heart. I'll ask you again, don't you want revenge?" The voice appeared again, speaking in a tempting tone.

This time Li Anping heard it, and the other party's voice actually sounded in his mind, but perhaps because he had encountered a big change, or perhaps he thought he was hallucinating, he was not surprised at all, and did not even answer the voice.

"Do you want to be immersed in sadness like this? So decadent?" Seeing that Li Anping did not answer him, the voice had to ask again: "You punish yourself like this, which will only let the real enemy go unpunished."

Li Anping said bitterly: "Revenge? Who should I seek revenge? I'm just a useless person, a useless person who needs others to help me eat and go to the toilet. It's a problem for me to survive, so what revenge can I talk about?"

"Hehehehe..." The voice sneered: "Your body is not a problem, as long as you want revenge, I can help you."

Li Anping's heart flashed with a trace of heat, and his chest seemed to be hot.

"How can you help me?"

"Don't ask too much. Let me ask you first, how much are you willing to pay to heal your body?"

Li Anping said impatiently: "I have nothing. As long as you can heal my body, I am willing to pay anything." He didn't notice that the topic of revenge at the beginning had turned into healing the body.

The voice didn't respond immediately after hearing Li Anping's words.

Until a few minutes later, when Li Anping almost thought that everything just now was just his illusion, the voice said meaningfully: "The things you think are very precious may be useless to me, and some things that are worthless in your eyes are very important to me."

Li Anping didn't understand what the other party meant for a while, and just listened to what the other party said.

"The policeman outside, his name is Long Tao, poor and destitute, living a life of idleness and waiting for death, these words best describe him. His classmates of the same period have been promoted, some have become rich, but he is the only one who is still fighting on the front line, living on a meager salary. He is over 30 years old and doesn't even have a wife. The only thing he can do is complain about the injustice of society and the incompetence of his superiors."

"What is his relationship with me?" Li Anping asked puzzledly: "Also, how do you know his situation?"

"I will tell you the reason later, and now, I just want you to touch his body with your right hand."

Li Anping's tone seemed hesitant: "Is this enough?"

The voice burst into laughter, like a devil's whisper: "How could it be so simple? I just want to borrow your hand to knock him out. I don't want to be disturbed during the treatment later..."

"...Okay, I will do as you say."

After a while, neither of them was communicating, and the entire ward seemed quiet. Li Anping turned his body sideways and rolled toward the inside of the bed little by little.

Because his limbs were nearly paralyzed and he was wrapped in a quilt, he moved very slowly.

With a pop, Li Anping fell off the bed and hit the floor with a soft sound.

"What's going on?" Long Tao at the door heard the crash and immediately opened the door and rushed in.

The hospital bed was parallel to the door, and the direction Li Anping was leaning toward was the inside of the bed. Long Tao, who came in, could not see him for a moment.

Worried that something had gone wrong, he rushed to the other side of the hospital bed, but as soon as he saw Li Anping fall to the ground, he was grabbed by the other side's feet.

"What are you doing..."

…

…

Anna felt a little anxious inside.

After visiting Li Anping last time, she was about to study abroad. This is a behavior in which universities collect money and send students to foreign universities to participate in other university courses. Originally, she wanted to ask Li Anping to go to the aquarium together before the study tour. Unexpectedly, Li Anping was involved in a car accident.

Then, when Anna returned to Zhongdu after a month of studying abroad, Li Anping had become a scum that everyone wanted to beat. She hesitated for a long time, and finally ran over that night.

"At least listen to him tell what happened."

No matter what, Anna can't put the bright, kind-hearted, justice-seeking Li Anping back together with the criminal in the report.

Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the ward full of anxiety.

…

…

"What did you do?" Li Anping asked suppressing his anger.

"Haha, you don't have to shout so loudly, you can communicate with me directly mentally." The voice replied maliciously: "As for what I did? Hehehehe, wasn't it you who did it from beginning to end?"

Li Anping looked at the body lying on the ground and said in disbelief: "You killed him! How could you kill him? You said you just knocked him out."

"Hmph, it's really disappointing. After so many things, haven't you realized it yet? The world is constantly changing, and the only thing that remains unchanged is human stupidity. Their filth and ugliness are worse than cesspits. Makes me sick.

Do you know what this policeman thinks of you? In his eyes, you are just a piece of garbage. He has sold a lot of your information to the media. He has even thought of torturing you more than once.

Hehe, after you experience more things, you will find that there are countless sins hidden behind everyone. Successful people suffer criticism, hostility and jealousy, while losers are despised, oppressed and enslaved.

All human beings show malice towards others, consciously or unconsciously.

In the end, no matter who it is, all he can get is boredom and helplessness. "

Every word in the voice sounded like an evil whisper, and Li Anping felt as if he was actually receiving the sermons of some kind of cult.

But he still couldn't let go. Just now, a life passed away in his hands. Just after he touched Long Tao's leg with his hand, the other party fell down immediately.

Waves that were imperceptible to the naked eye surged from Long Tao's body to the Buddhist beads in Li Anping's right hand. The beads should have been confiscated by the guarding police, but now they suddenly appeared again.

Li Anping looked at the Buddhist beads that suddenly appeared on his right wrist and seemed to notice something.

"Are you inside this prayer bead? What kind of evil thing are you? I want to destroy you. I can't let you harm others anymore!" Li Anping pulled off the prayer bead.

"The prayer beads are just a temporary shelter, and now, I have found a better one." The voice said with a proud smile: "Besides, are you sure you want to interrupt your cooperation with me? Your body will be destroyed soon. Cure..."

Li Anping threw the beads out of the window: "No, I won't listen to any of your words, you devil!!"

"I said, I am no longer on the beads." The voice still appeared in Li Anping's mind: "It was your ignorance, kindness and resentment that woke me up, and the death of the policeman was also caused by you. You can no longer quit..."

"I can, as long as I don't promise you anything anymore."

While the two were arguing, Anna walked into the ward. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Anping and Long Tao who were lying on the ground, and said in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

"Kill her, she witnessed everything. You must kill her immediately to silence her. Put your hands on her body, and I will eat her soul." That voice bewitched Li Anping.

"Don't even think about it."

Li Anping shouted to Anna: "Anna, help him up quickly. He suddenly fell ill. Please ask the doctor to take a look at him." He was still worried that the other party was not dead.

"Oh...oh." Anna seemed to have reacted and ran over in a panic to help Long Tao's body up.

"Don't worry about this for now." Li Anping quickly stopped her, fearing that she would also be attacked: "Hurry and go to the doctor, he is not breathing."

"Okay... okay." Anna was a little at a loss. After hearing Li Anping's instructions, she subconsciously followed them and ran out the door to find a doctor.

But as soon as she went out, she felt like she had hit a mountain and was pushed back by a huge force.

"Old Nuo, it seems that we came at the right time."
