Dazed

His hands were handcuffed in hard handcuffs, surrounded by cold walls, Zhou Xianlei, an elderly man, was lying on the hard and cold bed with his eyes closed, resting his mind.

I didn't expect that Liu Peisheng would be such a difficult target. According to his calculations, this kind of matter where the two departments are mixed will eventually be unable to do anything because of the muddy mud. I didn't expect that Liu Peisheng is capable. Overcoming public opinion, he insisted on carrying the pressure of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce on his shoulders, insisting on a department to investigate the case, and in the end, he really dug out a lot of things...

Zhou Xianlei felt a little unspeakably upset. If he had known this would be the case, he would have handled the matter more quickly. Perhaps it was because the previous two times were too smooth, which made him feel a little flustered. He underestimated that if the state department really wanted to handle a case It won't be a problem. The previous fluke is probably just a fluke. I don't know how many secrets that have been buried in the dust for more than ten years will be dug out.

It was the first time Zhou Xianlei felt nervous. He didn't even feel cramped when he was detained and interrogated by the police a few times before. It was probably a feeling of powerlessness, paper could no longer cover the fire.

However, in this silent moment, there was an uninvited guest who came quietly. In the small space, under the gloomy light, a slender figure emerged, surrounded by a layer of misty gray mist, his face was gray, smooth and delicate. His skin was covered with cracks like burnt porcelain, his eyes were dark, and he greeted him like looking at a lump of rotten meat, "Long time no see, my teacher."

Zhou Xianlei originally squinted his eyes, but when he heard the sound, he subconsciously opened his eyes, then widened them, looking in disbelief at the thing in front of him who had just met and not only didn't know if it was a human or a ghost, but more than ten years ago, He was thrown into his hands.

"Why did you come to see me?" Zhou Xianlei tensed up uncontrollably, his nostrils breathing heavily.

Cao Jingxing's purpose was very clear, and he replied casually: "I came to you to settle the old accounts."

Zhou Xianlei gasped for breath when he heard the words, looking at the familiar figure in front of him, he was speechless for a moment.

Cao Jingxing didn't like to talk nonsense, he also picked faults, he cherished words like gold, seeing Zhou Xianlei's dilapidated appearance, his eyes darkened, and the hatred that had permeated for more than ten years and turned into a wave of resentment immediately surged up.

Zhou Xianlei looked at him gloomyly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Since you have the ability to take revenge, why did you keep me until now?"

"Of course you are useful to keep you." Cao Jingxing looked at the black-eyed, black-eyed, dying old man in front of him without emotion, and said softly, "I hope you will like the gift I gave you."

"What?" Zhou Xianlei frowned, and soon he found the answer.Under my skin, there seemed to be something wriggling. Those small and huge unknown bugs began to wriggle in Zhou Xianlei's body as if they had received some guidance, and even raised one after another on the skin. Small bulges like blisters, those bulges kept swimming, densely packed, and even got into Zhou Xianlei's hair.

The weird touch made Zhou Xianlei, who had a dull face, start to look terrified, his eye sockets were almost cracked, and he stretched out his hand in fear to pat the unknown bugs underneath, the crackling sound was mixed with the terrified screams of people. Whimpering, it seemed extraordinarily penetrating.

The earth spirit is a kind of insect that grows at the junction of yin and yang. Because it is just in the middle of the two worlds, its body is also between the virtual and the real. It often exists in the form of a spirit when it is young, and it is attached to the stem flower at the junction. It is invisible to the naked eye, and it takes half a year to grow from a spirit state to a physical body. Adults are black bugs the size of fingernails, with different postures, flat bodies, and can attach to various objects. Get rid of the stem-flying flowers and hide in the ground, densely packed, layer upon layer, emitting a faint fragrance. This fragrance lingers around the stem-flicking flowers, attracting bees and butterflies. The stem-flicking flowers live by sucking bees and butterflies. After one year passed, the earth spirits began to enter the state of death, the physical body withered and turned into a spiritual body, and it was a new reincarnation.

Zhou Xianlei did not know where he heard some folk remedies. He used earth spirits as supplements, and eliminated them from various places to paper decorated with adult earth spirits. Whenever insects died, they sucked their spirits, and even practiced They became addicted, and when the season came, under the guidance of Cao Jingxing, they turned into flesh bodies one after another, wishing to gnaw through Zhou Xianlei's body and get out.

There were too many bugs in his body, and he became manic due to restlessness, and even stretched out his sharp teeth to bite Zhou Xianlei's blood vessels. Zhou Xianlei couldn't help howling, and stretched out his hand to press the bugs under the skin, but it didn't help at all. He began to bleed profusely, with little bruises oozing out from under the skin, and the bruises became bigger and bigger, and even joined together.

Cao Jingxing silently admired the scene of Zhou Xianlei rolling on the ground. He screamed like a wild beast. The feeling of being bitten bit by bit from the inside to the outside must have been very painful. His eyes were as wide as copper bells. Zhou Xianlei couldn't take it anymore, he started stretching out his nails to scratch his skin, hoping that the bugs would crawl out after the skin was broken, he began to twist his face, grit his teeth, exhausted Scratching his skin vigorously, the nails were full of bloody flesh, and the crimson blood began to cover this thin body, and the unevenness under the skin was still going on.

Suppressing the pain, Zhou Xianlei's pupils lost their brightness a bit. He hoarsely struggled and looked at Cao Jingxing who was standing in front of him. He couldn't help thinking of someone and asked, "Zhou, Zhou... is my brother okay?" ?”

"He is very good. He has never hated you. He was reincarnated more than ten years ago." As soon as Cao Jingxing's cold eyes moved to him, the suppressed things in his eyes deepened, and he sighed: "Teacher Zhou really He is a kind old man who is compassionate and compassionate, but unfortunately he couldn't guard against his elder brother, who would have thought that you would kill him after taking advantage of me."

Although Zhou Xianlei looked very painful, he still sneered, "I killed it by accident."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man who always had a smile on his face seemed to be standing in front of him again. He stared at the man and howled frantically: "But why doesn't he hate me! Why not! "The pain and shame I had endured for more than ten years finally broke out.

The old scene seems to be vivid in my memory. Although the two brothers look alike, their personalities are very different. Their parents died early. Become irritable and vicious, wandering on the fringes of society, just to beg for food for two people, while Zhou Xianlei went to university, got a master's degree, and became a glamorous university teacher, while his elder brother at home is still doing nothing, doing nothing Zhou Xianlei hoped more than once that he could turn his back on his evil ways and be a normal person anyway.

The younger brother Zhou Xianlei couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, and he couldn't get used to Zhou Zhengqi's cronies the most. Due to the disparity in their identities, the two brothers had more and more quarrels, and the gap between them became wider and wider.

On a New Year's day in a certain year, Zhou Xianlei's student Cao Jingxing went back to his hometown to visit relatives, unfortunately lost his way, turned around and met Zhou Zhengqi, who looked exactly like Zhou Xianlei, and of course recognized the wrong person, but unexpectedly, Zhou Zhengqi, who was looking for money, tricked him into the barren grassland Here, he made money and killed himself.

Not to mention that Zhou Xianlei found out that his hands and feet were not cleaned, and the two began to quarrel. One was caught off guard, and the younger brother he had been watching all the time was killed in this way. The secret that he had deliberately suppressed in his heart was finally dug out bloody at this moment.

"Which family... has he been reincarnated into?" Zhou Zhengqi asked weakly.

Cao Jingxing turned a deaf ear to him, didn't even bother to answer, turned around, Zhou Xianlei behind him had collapsed on the ground, his pupils were dilated, his posture was distorted, and many small, shiny black bugs crawled from his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears He climbed up, swished, and got into his nostrils again. His whole body was covered with purple-blue bruises, densely packed, and no one could avoid it. It looked like a corpse that had been on display for a long time, and it was horrible.

The night was thick, and with a snap, the only light bulb left in the prison suddenly went out. In the rough darkness, only those insects exuding a strange fragrance were constantly moving.
