i'm not human

Chapter [-], Broken Finger

"Mr. Xu is really old and strong!" Zhao Quan smiled, but the words "old and strong" were not so happy to Xu Shibang's ears.Because whether he is old or not, in fact, Zhao Quan knows best.

What's more, the two are about the same age, but now, from the appearance, they look like grandparents.

"Don't dare to compare with Minister Zhao." Xu Shibang replied neither softly nor hard, suppressing the anger in his heart. He couldn't afford to provoke this "person" in front of him, and he didn't dare to provoke him.Putting on a friendly mask, Xu Shibang pretended to be calm, but the tone of his voice still betrayed him, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Xu Shibang was full of apprehension. Once a person enjoys the benefits of longevity and freedom from disease and aging, he will never want to hand over this "right" again. He wishes he could live like this forever and live as long as the sky.

Zhao Quan naturally saw the trembling look under Xu Shibang's calm shell, and there was some sarcasm in his heart, but he didn't show it, but ignored it directly, and brought up another question, "There is something I want to show you." Then he took out a wooden box, the wooden box was only as big as a palm, and there was nothing surprising in appearance.

But the things were brought by Zhao Quan, so it is impossible for Xu Shibang not to pay attention to them.

Zhao Quan ignored his changing expression, and directly handed a wooden box in front of Xu Shibang, with a very gentle smile on his mouth, coupled with his handsome appearance, it was easy to win the favor of others, "Open it and have a look." .”

Glancing at Zhao Quan, Xu Shibang swallowed, staring at the wooden box closely, suddenly having a bad feeling.He didn't want to continue, and he didn't want to open it, but the other party kept looking at him, and he couldn't help but do what the other party said.

Xu Shibang forced himself to open his eyes wide, and stretched out his hand to open them.

Inside is a piece of finger, skinny, twisted at a strange angle.

He was suffocated, his hand shook uncontrollably like Parkinson's, and subconsciously let go, the small wooden box fell to the ground with a "bang", and the contents of the box also fell out.

Zhao Quan didn't seem to notice his pale face, and his tone was as gentle as ever, so gentle that it was false, "Oh, Mr. Xu is not careful, it can be seen that he is indeed a little old. But, this is your son This is the last thing left in this world in my life, Mr. Xu, don’t you want to look at it?” As he spoke, he stared at Xu Shibang’s face, full of interest.

Xu Shibang's expression was not well controlled, and he still revealed complicated emotions. He recognized the severed finger as Xu Chunxi's.He clearly remembered that when Xu Chunxi was born, he was still very young, only in his twenties. For his eldest son, it can be said that he had high expectations from the beginning.Whether it was the excitement when the baby moved for the first time, or seeing the baby being carried out of the operating room, the doctor told him that the baby was healthy, and there was a light-colored birthmark on his finger, he could still vividly remember it as if it was yesterday .

And now, the finger with that birthmark was placed in front of him.

He closed his eyes, blocking out the grief in his heart.All his life, he was unwilling to show weakness in front of others.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Shibang seemed to be tightly entangled with his internal organs, and finally he calmed down a little. He stabilized his voice and asked slowly, "What's going on?"

"What else could be going on?" Seeing that he changed his mood so quickly, Zhao Quan felt a little bored in his heart. He thought that Xu Shibang would be heartbroken or full of remorse, but at least he would shed a few tears anyway.

But now, it's really boring that his tone has returned to calm so quickly, so Zhao Quan's smile faded, and his tone became a little more casual, "You ate his son, he hates you, and he wants to stay overnight after you go back." Go find the seven groups, expose you, and maybe catch me."

Looking at Xu Shibang's expressionless face, Zhao Quan lowered his voice, full of malice, "However, how could he succeed? I stopped him halfway. I hate betrayal the most, so in order to save him from suffering, Just kill him directly. But I have a good heart, and I left him such a finger, and I brought it here for you to see."

It's a pity that I didn't see the crying side of Laobusi, it's a pity, it's a waste of mood.

Xu Shibang glanced at the finger, except for the birthmark, it was completely impossible to tell that the finger had grown on Xu Chunxi's body.Not daring to look any further, he abruptly averted his gaze.He knew that Zhao Quan was obviously a human being, but he had always maintained this "youngness". He didn't know how much "effort" he had spent behind his back.

So the "killed" in the other party's mouth, how did he kill it, and why only this finger was left after the killing, he dared not ask.

I really dare not ask.

As long as he thinks about it, he feels pain in his internal organs.But inside, there was a sense of relief.When a person dies, secrets will always be secrets, and no one will know those secrets anymore, whether it is Xu Bosong's death, the reason why he suddenly recovered from a serious illness, the reason why he has survived all these years, and the fact that he has absorbed other people's knowledge. No one will know clearly about all the things that life continues for itself.

Discovering the secret excitement and relaxation in his heart, Xu Shibang clenched his fists——no, you can't think like that, that's your son!you are human! ——However, even though he is a son, he knows too many secrets about himself. If one day he betrays...

He took a deep breath, feeling that the panic and gloom in his heart had been blown away by the breath of air, and then he opened his eyes again, his tone has regained his composure, "If Minister Zhao comes today, it will be to give this big gift to Mr. Xu Yes, then I am very grateful." Seeing Zhao Quan's smile, he felt an inexplicable pride in his heart, and his tone became more soothing, "Then I will go to rest first, after all, I am old and my body is not as good as before. Minister Zhao will leave in a while When it's time, I won't send it away."

After speaking, he waved to Xu Boting, "Come on, help grandpa up."

Xu Boting has been standing in the corner, pretending that he doesn't exist, but he has actually listened to the conversation between the two of them verbatim.Seeing Xu Shibang looking at him, he hurried over and reached out to hold Xu Shibang's hand, looking like a filial grandson.

It wasn't until he went upstairs and into the bedroom that Xu Shibang staggered and almost fell to the ground without standing still.At this moment, he showed his old state.He supported Xu Boting's hand to stand up, then refused Xu Boting's support, and walked in by himself.The lights were not turned on in the bedroom, but Xu Shibang obviously didn't care about it anymore.

Seeing that the old man who was supposed to be hunched over finally bent down a little, Xu Boting smiled a little, and quickly put it back, as if he had never shown such a happy expression.Then he withdrew very respectfully, stood at the door of the bedroom for a while, and found that apart from faint breathing, there was no other sound similar to whimpering, so Xu Boting turned around and prepared to go downstairs.

After all, there are more interesting people waiting for him downstairs.

At this time, a person quietly appeared in the living room.The man was wearing a black robe, and his whole body was tightly wrapped, and his voice was very hoarse, like a rusty saw cutting wet wood, "It's time to push him out, huh, it's considered Useful."

Xu Boting was standing in the shadow of the corner of the stairs at this time, very curious about the person who appeared in the living room, and faintly thought of a possibility, the suppressed excitement in his heart made him start to tremble.In order to calm himself down, he bit his jaw, using the pain to remind himself to wake up.

However, when he heard the phrase "Push him out", he was inexplicably sure that the "he" should refer to his grandfather, right?

Zhao Quan stood where he was before, and there was a wooden box and a finger turning over not far from his feet - even if his own father didn't care, who would care?He thought casually, and then answered the man in black robe, "The seventh group has already entered the Holy Land. With that peacock, you should be able to get the blue tail feathers, right? Does that person have any instructions?"

The black-robed man ignored Zhao Quan's temptation, and said ambiguously, "Let's wait for the results from the Holy Land first." After all, Cang Li's presence is a variable.

Zhao Quan thought for a while, but still didn't say what was on his lips, just nodded, as if thinking of something, "By the way, Ah Chong..."

"Don't bother you!" The man in black suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Quan with warning eyes.

Zhao Quan spread his hands, "Yes, don't mention your son, don't mention it." But that's also my grandson, isn't it?What a problem!

At this time, footsteps suddenly heard on the building, Zhao Quan looked over and found Xu Baiting walking down steadily.Heh, isn't this going to be a little mouse, instead of being blatant?

At this moment, Xu Boting's heart was beating wildly, and he felt that the blood in his whole body was rushing through his veins rapidly, bringing out bursts of enthusiasm. It took him a lot of effort to keep his expression stable and calm.

The road is close in front of his eyes, and he must walk up——

"I want to join you."

Because of his words, the whole atmosphere was silent for two seconds, and then the man in black sneered, breaking the silence.His voice was still ugly, but now he added a bit of sharpness, "Join? A joke! You are just a human ant, what qualifications do you have to talk about joining?"

As he spoke, he reached out and took off his black hood, and an extremely handsome face appeared in front of Xu Baiting. About 30 years old, the skin is very fair, and the blue blood vessels under the skin can be seen, which looks a little fragile.But it is this sense of fragility that endows him with an almost transparent and pure beauty, while those eyes are dark, and they always look at people with alienation, with a beauty that is isolated from the world.

But at this time, his eyes were full of contempt, really like looking at ants.

Zhao Quan looked at that pale and pale face that had never seen the sun, and suddenly thought endlessly, did Yi Ren fall in love with this appearance back then?Such a shallow woman, my daughter.

After hearing these contemptuous words, Xu Baiting's expression did not change. He spoke again and repeated the words just now, "I want to join you." He looked at the ground, and he could see the upside-down wooden box with both eyes. With that shriveled finger, he said one word at a time: "I am very useful, more useful than Xu Shibang." After he finished speaking, he raised his head, and there seemed to be flames in his eyes.

Chong Ren and Zhao Quan looked at each other, and then they looked away again.Zhao Quan sat on the sofa, looked at the young human kneeling on the ground, as if seeing himself back then, and said encouragingly, "Then I will trust you for the time being." Seeing Xu Baiting's eyes brighten, Zhao Quan pointed Pointing to Chong Ren beside him, he smiled gently and was very approachable, "You have to pass his level first." After speaking, he watched all this with the mentality of watching a play.

After all, it's fun to watch someone repeat what they did in the past, and the future is unknown.

Chongren didn't raise any objection, but just said, "If you really want to, it depends on whether you can survive it." After speaking, several black blades appeared on his fingers, directly hitting the big blood vessels on Xu Baiting's body. Passed by, blood spurted out.

Zhao Quan squinted his eyes, took a deep breath, and was extremely intoxicated, "How long has it been since I smelled fresh human blood?"

villa.

Li Yu was dozing off, when he saw Mu Dianmo's frowning, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Why, your monitoring is still full of garbled codes?"

Mu Dianmo shook his head, "If you see it, you can see it." In the past, his brush had been monitoring Xu Shibang and Xu's house, but then suddenly it seemed that the signal connection was bad, and the picture was a bit blurry , but it can still be seen clearly.But until now, Xu Shibang has been writing scores in the study, but Mu Dianmo always felt a little strange looking at it.

It just looks like there is a sense of disobedience.

At this time, Li Yu suddenly put down the mobile phone in his hand, looked at the window, "Hey, why is there a little paper crane parked there?" He waved his hand, and the paper crane flew a few times and landed on the desk, There was no more movement.

Li Yu took it apart a few times, and after reading the contents, he stood up abruptly, "The 'Night Lily Cat Incident' has been solved."

Mu Dianmo was taken aback, "What do you mean?" The case was solved?He turned around and took the letter from Li Yu's hand, read it two or three times, and was also surprised, "What is the Xu family doing?"

The letter said that just 10 minutes ago, Xu Baiting of the Xu family went to report on his grandfather Xu Shibang, and provided a lot of evidence, including Xu Shibang's medical records many years ago, the tokens and specific contents and conditions of the deal with the demon later, This includes using the lives of all living creatures in the entire village in Funiu Mountain in exchange for the continuation of one's own life.There are also various evidences of Xu Shibang's killing and cannibalism over the years, of course, including the recent death of Xu Bosong.

Countless crimes and evidences are listed one by one, it really feels like too much to write.

Xu Baiting also said that although such a person who is not as good as an animal is his grandfather, he cannot go against his conscience and continue to protect him.The Xu family is important, but for the greater good, the Xu family is nothing.

And because Xu Baiting did not participate in Xu Shibang's case from the beginning to the end, and after learning the truth, he righteously exterminated his relatives and reported the murderer, so the muddy water of Xu's family may not be poured on him.

Mu Dianmo frowned from the beginning to the end, and told Li Yu, "My surveillance has been tampered with." Because from the beginning to the end, he didn't see anyone coming in and out of Xu's house, let alone going to the seventh group to inform.

He looked at the picture sent back by the brush again. Xu Shibang, who had been writing notes all the time, and Xu Zhai, who was still quiet, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat—the other party obviously knew about his surveillance behavior, but up to now, the Shanhai group's The message has already arrived, but they still haven't let go of the control, and they don't even bother to change the screen.That can only show that the other party is either confident, or ridiculed and provocative.

Xu house.

Chong Ren sat on the sofa, his fair face looked very handsome under the light.He was looking at a photo, his eyes were gentle, even a little kind, and occasionally he would use his fingers to gently caress the person in the photo, with some care.If Zhao Quan was beside him, he would definitely recognize the person in the photo, that was Zhao Chong, when Zhao Chong was two or three years old.

I felt the quivering of the suppressed brush hair on the table, obviously the owner of the brush hair was moving.He turned his wrist to store the photo first, and then gently picked it up with his slender thumb and index finger. In the blink of an eye, a soft hair was pinched between the pads of the two fingers.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he blew lightly on the hair, only to see the brush hair was lifted up by the air current, and suddenly burned in mid-air, emitting a black flame.

Thinking of what the good son said to him before, Chongren raised his hand to support his chin, heh, Lord Dragon, just wait, there are some people who couldn't remember before, and there will be opportunities to remember in the future.
