Vermillion mole

Xie Yuchen stood on the balcony, looking at the endless blue sky. Today's sky is very blue, without a single white cloud.

Cinnabar was caught off guard by Xie Yuchen, and jumped on his back, hugged his neck tightly, rubbed his face, and hung on him like a koala: "Huahua~"

Xie Yuchen smiled and stroked Zhu Sha's head: "Are you awake?"

Zhu Sha yawned, looking at Xie Yuchen's face that would make a man silent and a woman cry when she saw it, she suddenly let go of her hand, ran to the flower pot and picked all the flowers that Xie Yuchen worked so hard to raise. At first, Xie Yuchen He didn't care, but let her go, and didn't ask until Zhu Sha planted flowers in disorder on his head, "What are you doing?"

Zhu Sha looked at her masterpiece and smiled with satisfaction: "Arranging flowers!"

Xie Yuchen wanted to say something else, Zhu Sha didn't give Xie Yuchen a chance, and said, "Huahua, take me to play with Xiuxiu, I'm so bored."

Xie Yuchen refused without hesitation. He was afraid that he would not only become a rotten girl, but also a lily.

Zhu Sha looked at Xie Yuchen sadly, and Xie Yuchen turned his head away, not looking into Zhu Sha's eyes.

On the other side, Wu Xie and a person who looked exactly like Wu Xie were pushed upside down and tied to a chair. That person who looked exactly like Wu Xie was the one who lived in the Zhang family's ancient building.

He groaned a few times, raised his eyes and cursed, but the severe pain immediately made him frown again.He looked at me: "You idiot, look at what you've done!"

"It's none of my business. First, I'm happy that you were unlucky; second, they set up a trap to catch the two of us. I got into the trap by myself, and you also fell into the trap by yourself. What right do you have to say that I am ?”

"If you weren't here, would my mother be able to get in?"

"Why the hell are you pretending to be me? If you don't pretend to be me, these things won't happen at all."

"Who the hell pretended to be you? Who pretended to be your grandson—oh!"

He was in the middle of cursing, and there was a sound of breaking through the air, and he fell to the ground with his chair and himself.

Wu Xie turned her head and saw that Miss Zhang came over fiercely holding my slingshot, and said, "Are you finished? If you keep arguing, I'll hit you elsewhere."

"Why do you only beat me and not him?" The man on the ground cursed.

"You two look the same, who can tell the difference?"

"You are so fucking biased!"

Wu Xie secretly smiled inwardly, Miss Zhang also smiled when she saw it, walked to Wu Xie's side and patted him on the face: "Don't say that my aunt has never covered you. Take a puff of your cigarette, old lady I will return your favor once. If you continue to quarrel, I will be covered by rain and dew."

"Don't get too close to them." A person behind said, "These two boys are not easy to save fuel."

Zhang Longban came over, and several people backed away and didn't speak.He took a chair and sat in front of the two of them, and said: "I have seen the faces of the two of you, one of you must be wearing a mask, and it has been wearing a mask for more than 20 years, so the face and the face have changed. Completely fused together. One of you must have had surgery on the facial bones to better fit the mask. Also, one of you must have had bone surgery on both legs to adjust for height.

"However, in order to eliminate all traces of the operation, the implementation party completed the operation long before the plan was implemented. I believe this time must be around 20 years. In other words, the operation was performed 20 years ago. Now we do not have professional equipment , There is no way to judge the traces of surgery by touching. Therefore, in theory, if you don’t test DNA and pass professional authentication, you are almost the same person.”

"We have a very important news to tell Mr. Wu Xie. But after we started searching, we found that there are two Wu Xie active in the world, one of which disappeared after Medog, and the other has been appearing all over the country. We We squatted in Medog to look for the missing Wu Xie, and at the same time decided to use Medog as our base and gather the other one here. Once both of them show up, we hope to find the real Wu Xie after comparison."

"How could anyone know what I look like 20 years ago?" Wu Xie asked.

"You were already seven years old at the time, so we can guess about 15% of what you will look like in the future." Zhang Longban said, "Okay, I only need [-] minutes to tell you apart, but you will suffer a lot. I I can tell you clearly that we will definitely get rid of the fake one, so you must do your best to prove that you are real."

"Wait a minute." The man next to him said, "What do you use to tell the truth from the fake? You don't understand anything."

"Many people told us that Wu Xie is a very weak person. But we feel that many things can be disguised for a long time. Therefore, I can't tell the difference between strength and wisdom. We knew a long time ago that the Wu family's The three provinces of Wu can appear in two places thousands of kilometers apart at the same time. How do I know what's going on with the two of you?"

"You think too much." Wu Xie said, "The weak and stupid are the real ones. I'm just a fool. Why do you set yourself up?"

"Because I can't rely on these to determine who is real and who is fake, so I need to put the two of you together." Zhang Long said halfway, "You will understand my method after listening. Don't be afraid, if it is true , it must be fine." After speaking, he winked.

Miss Zhang next to her took out a long, boxy wooden box from her bag and put it in front of her.Looking at the things contained in this wooden box, Wu Xie urinated on his pants almost immediately.

He looked at Zhu Sha lying on the side, didn't wake up yet.Seeing Wu Xie looking at Zhu Sha, Ms. Zhang chuckled: "Don't count on her, I guess this girl is still having a sweet dream and doesn't want to wake up."

The heads of seven people, the girl lined up the heads and put them on the coffee table in front of us.

The human head should not be fresh, after some treatment, the color is yellow and the face is peaceful, but it looks like it is dead.These seven people all have the same face, Wu Xie's face.

"What... what's going on here?" Wu Xie stammered, "Why are there so many me?"

"A lot of things can't be done at one time. A perfect replica is often accompanied by many defective products. The defective products cannot be remanufactured, nor can they be circulated." Zhang Longban said, "So, they can only exist as materials. "

"these are……"

"These are the foreshadowing for one of you. Before one of you became Wu Xie, these people might have become Wu Xie, but obviously, their luck was not very good."

"A lot of things can't be done at one time. A perfect replica is often accompanied by many defective products. The defective products cannot be remanufactured, nor can they be circulated." Zhang Longban said, "So, they can only exist as materials. "

"these are……"

"These are the foreshadowing for one of you. Before one of you became Wu Xie, these people might have become Wu Xie, but obviously, their luck was not very good."

Looking at these heads, Wu Xie still couldn't understand: "However, they are all dead. Even if they fail, it is not necessary to kill them."

"You know my surname is Zhang, so you should also know my background. Back then, judging whether a disguise was successful was not based on appearance. To be perfect from body to heart, you needed to stay with the imitated person all year round. However, after a long time, some people will have feelings for the imitated person and are unwilling to carry out their mission. Such people will often flee overseas. It is actually difficult to use the technology of disguise for a long time, because it is really difficult to hide It is difficult to get familiar with people, and many impossible things can be realized only under a certain system.”

Zhang Long paused for a while, as if he was sorting it out from the beginning, and then said after a while: "We found that someone named Zhang Qiling was hunting and arresting a person named Zhang Qiling across the country within a period of time, so we started to intervene and discovered a jaw-dropping conspiracy. .We watched the plot and began to see that things were getting out of hand. In order to get things under control again, we had to quietly intervene and harvest some people who dazzled us."

"Then are you from the Buddha, or the real Zhang family?" Wu Xie asked, but he couldn't fully understand what he was saying.

"There has been no real Zhang family for a long time. However, Master Zhang has not belonged to our system a long time ago." Zhang Longban said, "During the civil strife in mainland China, we were a branch of international trade in Hong Kong. The system has been relatively intact."

"So these people were all killed by you?"

"Yes, our predecessors were responsible for most of it." Zhang Longban said, "If you understand the whole conspiracy that your family participated in, you will find traces of our participation in many places. In fact, we have been watching looking at you."

When he said this, Zhang Longban showed a kind of arrogance and calmness, which is hard for me to describe.Later I discovered that it was a kind of aristocratic aura that came from itself.

But it is not noble, it is not a kind of luxurious nobility, but a sense of superiority that has seen everything for many years.

"I will tell the real Wu Xie among you after I have distinguished you. Now, let's start!" Zhang Long half winked at Ms. Zhang, and Ms. Zhang and another person took the seven heads He lifted it up and approached us, and said, "There's only one question—you take a closer look at each of these heads, and tell me which one is most like you."

Wu Xie and the brother next to him glanced at each other. "Just judge according to the feeling." Zhang Longban said, "The right to judge lies with me."

The fake Wu Xie on the side said to Wu Xie: "Don't be fooled, you can't tell the difference anyway. Only if we both refuse, will we have a chance to survive together."

"Actually, that's not the case." Ms. Zhang said, "For us, if we really can't tell the difference, we have no choice but to break your tendons and lock you in a room until you die of old age."

"I don't believe you guys would do such a thing." Wu Xie retorted, "We have no grievances or enmities, right?"

"You only have 10 minutes, otherwise you will have to spend the rest of your life crawling around somewhere." Zhang Longban didn't care what I said.

The fake Wu Xie next to him glanced at Wu Xie again, and suddenly said: "I have already chosen, give me a pen and paper, and I will write it down."

"Damn you!" Wu Xie scolded immediately, "You talk like farting."

"Because I'm sure they're going to do something like that, and you'd better hurry," he said.

"Do you choose or not? Die early and live early." Miss Zhang urged Wu Xie.

Wu Xie scolded: "If you choose the wrong one, it's not your head that has been sun-dried into prunes. Can I take responsibility for my head?"

"Okay, then let you think about it." Miss Zhang looked at Wu Xie, seeming to find it funny, "But at this moment, you can still make fun of it, you can be considered a man. If you make a mistake, I will let you die Happy.

"Ten minutes left."

"Don't urge me, I'll get annoyed if you urge me!" Wu Xie cursed.

"Okay, okay." Miss Zhang said and stepped aside.

Wu Xie looked at those heads again, and suddenly had an idea. "Let me go, let me go." Wu Xie said, "Give me all the eyes of these heads."

"Eye?"

They uncuffed two people's handcuffs.Anyway, the time was almost up, and the fake Wu Xie began to write down his answers on the paper, while Wu Xie opened the eyelids of those heads to look at their eyeballs.

After some observation, Wu Xie looked at Zhang Longban and asked, "Can I break these heads?"

"How do you want to break it? Eat monkey brains?" he asked.

Wu Xie said, "I'm going to pick out their eyeballs."

"Give up, the embalming treatment can't deal with the eyeballs, their eyeballs are all made of resin." Zhang Longban shook his head, "And you don't have time, hurry up and make a decision!"

"Wait a minute. You have never thought that because of your behavior, the real Wu Xie will definitely make a wrong choice in panic due to his own character weakness, and you may kill me by mistake in the end."

"We don't care." Zhang Longban didn't hesitate at all, "We have absolutely [-]% confidence in your choice."

"Can you stop having so much confidence in me? I have no confidence in myself now."

At this time, the fake Wu Xie next to him said: "Can you hurry up? If not, just get caught up, and save so much blah blah blah."

Looking at the fake Wu Xie's face, Wu Xie thought to himself that it's fine to get one or two tricks, and the probability of getting all seven tricks is too small, it's his mother's leg.

Wait, misty.

Wu Xie frowned - everything that those people said just now rang in my ears.

"We don't care." This is what Zhang Longban said.

What do they mean?Impossible not to care.If their purpose was to find Wu Xie, they would definitely consider that if Wu Xie was so frightened by this situation that he would probably make a mess, then they would not be able to find Wu Xie.

I don't care, but I have [-]% confidence in my choice.

Could it be that their focus was not on Wu Xie's selection of seven heads?This is a pretense, and they judge whether I am real or not, relying on other aspects?

For example, my reaction to these seven heads is the focus of their investigation, and the heads themselves have no meaning.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie suddenly felt enlightened.That's right, that's right, it's impossible for a person who has arranged such a meticulous game and has this kind of strategic ability to make this kind of mistake. It must be that the choice itself is meaningless.

The topic is meaningless, so what they observe is human behavior.In other words, the process just now is itself an exam.

Well, this fake Wu Xie must have known about it a long time ago, so he has been using another way to cope with the exam, and he has been foolishly fooling around here.

"The time is up, do you choose or not?" Ms. Zhang asked.

"Do you really want to cut off my head?" Wu Xie cursed, pointing to the head with open eyes, and said, "This."

Zhang Longban and Ms. Zhang looked at each other, looked at the paper that fake Wu Xie handed her—it should have his answer written on it, then Ms. Zhang sighed, pulled out the dagger from her back, and came to In front of me, he said to the people next to me: "Tie it up, find a place in the yard, I will cut it with a knife."

Wu Xie was taken aback.It wasn't until others tied Wu Xie, pushed Wu Xie into the yard, and pressed Wu Xie's head on a stone mill that he realized, "I'll rely on it, did I get the answer wrong?"

Wu Xie turned her head and saw Miss Zhang walking beside me, the dagger passed in front of Wu Xie, and a jade hand pressed on the back of Wu Xie's neck, pinching my artery.The girl said, "Don't be afraid, I will start cutting from the spinal cord. When you don't feel any pain, that's the very first moment."

"I'm really Wu Xie, you're making a mistake!" Wu Xie roared.I felt a chill on the back of my neck, and hot blood flowed down.Immediately afterwards, Wu Xie found that he couldn't feel his body any more.

This time it's really over, I spent so much energy, used so much luck, I went through hundreds of situations that could kill me [-] times, and I didn't die.The result was here, because I was a fool and answered the wrong question, so I died so easily.

Life is really wonderful!

At this moment, Wu Xie didn't feel too regretful, and he felt a little gloating in his heart, thinking: "Brother, when he comes out of the bronze gate, he will definitely find himself killed by his people by mistake. When the time comes, look at this girl and that Zhang Long!" What kind of face is half.

"Why do you pretend to be someone else?" The girl said softly as the blade swam around Wu Xie's neck.

"You cut the wrong person." Wu Xie squeezed out such a sentence with all the strength in his body.Oh, no, it's not the strength of the whole body, Wu Xie no longer has the whole body, Wu Xie's body may have been separated from his head.

Then, Wu Xie began to feel extremely sleepy.Fake Wu Xie walked in front of me with a cigarette lit, smiled at me, and made a gesture that he couldn't help with a teasing expression.

Wu Xie felt more and more heavy eyelids. At the last moment before losing consciousness, he heard the fake Wu Xie say to the girl: "He should be real. Stop it, don't really scare him to death."

On the other side, Ah Ning finally woke up. Hexagonal Tongling had a great influence on her, and she was shocked when she walked out the door and looked at Wu Xiexin who had fainted.

Just as she was about to fake Wu Xie, she said, "Forget it, I know you're not her, you can't beat me."

Aning realized instantly: "You are... Zhang Haike!"

Wu Xie asked in a daze, "What's going on? Aren't you going to cut off my head? My head has already been cut off, so why am I not dead yet?"

"We are not interested in your head." Zhang Haike said.

"We? Why do you call yourself 'we'? Aren't you a fake fake like me?" Wu Xie said weakly.

"I just acted as badly as you. Let me introduce again. My surname is Zhang, and I'm of the same family as your friend. My name is Zhang Haike." Zhang Haike sat opposite Wu Xie, "I'm a member of this branch. The girl in your head is called Zhang Haixing, she is my younger sister, and we both belong to overseas. Sorry, we have spent some time trying to find out if you are the real Wu Xie. Because the human skin mask was abused so much in the last century so amazing."

"Then why—I broke my neck just now—"

"Just now we just inserted a needle in the back of your neck, injected some blocking anesthetics, and then sprinkled some pig blood on the back of your neck." Zhang Haike lit a cigarette for Wu Xie, "You are an idiot haha I thought I had a broken neck."

"However, I believe that people will not lie at that time. And in that state, it is impossible for you to detect that this is a game." Zhang Haike patted Wu Xie, "Don't be angry. Just look These seven heads, we are looking for you, to find so many people. During these three years, you have been active everywhere in places you don't know."

"Why is that?" Wu Xie looked at his face.

"Because you are the only one." Zhang Haike said, "Maybe you don't know it yourself, but you are the only person in this world who has the potential to save the Zhang family."

Wu Xiexin said: Put your mother's shit, you are all awesome, how could you need me to save you?Come and save my neck first, it hurts me to death.

In the next half hour, Zhang Haike told me all the things Wu Xie didn't know.

Wu Xie listened in a daze, and he also listened almost exactly.

Back then, the main force of the Zhang family was entrenched in the northeast area, and it had lasted for quite a long time.Such a family actually controls many historical events, including many celebrities with the surname Zhang in Chinese history, all of which belong to the Zhang family's secret "interference" throughout history.

The Zhang family is like an invisible net, permeating all key nodes of society.They don't seem to be involved in any politics, but in fact they have a firm grip on everything.

Such a family has gone through countless dynasties, and they themselves cannot understand why they will fall apart one day.

Starting with the departure of the ancestors of Grand Buddha Zhang, the Zhang family began to slowly disintegrate under the erosion of new thoughts.They didn't understand why this happened at first, why would the family be eroded by an incomplete system?This is a system that seems correct but is unattainable.Later they figured it out—it was because they had been strong for too long, and they had tried almost everything, so many of them hoped to achieve a completely different state.

It's like a video game. A person has played the easy mode thousands of times. He is extremely tired of everything in the game, but he has no new games to play.Therefore, his only solution is to challenge the hard mode.

Although the main clan system disintegrated very quickly, many Zhang Qilings in the family yearned for the so-called true freedom, but another group of people felt completely different.

This is the foreign descendant of the Zhang family who has been active in Nanyang all the year round.They are the window to the outside world, and they are also the only one outside the confinement of the Zhang family's conservative system.

This branch originally developed in the extremely free Nanyang region, and is very adaptable to the world pattern and the collision of various new trends of thought.This group of people has been very stable until the Zhang family completely disintegrated. This group of people still developed very well overseas, and slowly changed into another form.

For the overseas Zhang family, their feelings towards the inland family are complicated: on the one hand, the inland family is too powerful, with masters like clouds, controlling a huge closed system, and they feel that they are lucky to be able to dissociate around this system; On the other hand, the mainland families have extremely close ties with them, and their feelings are very deep. They have nothing to do with the collapse of the family, but they maintain contact with every branch of the system.In other words, although the Zhang family no longer exists, the fragments still maintain a very close bond, they are just broken into pieces.

This situation continued for a long time, and it was not until Zhang Haike's generation that they realized that something was wrong.Because after the Zhang family disintegrated, in the long years, all the fragments disappeared one by one.

It seems that there is an invisible force, after dismantling the entire Zhang family, began to erase them from history.

This is a very difficult matter. Even the entire country cannot deal with the vast and invisible net of the Zhang family.However, someone did.Someone not only disintegrated the net, but also wanted to clear all the fragments of the net.

"Who is this person?" Wu Xie asked Zhang Haike.He didn't answer, and motioned Wu Xie to continue listening.

Therefore, the overseas Zhang family began to investigate in the mainland and discovered various strange situations.

Old Nine Gates was just one of the whirlpools, but because it involved politics and Zhang Qiling, it attracted their attention.They gradually saw a huge net, a bigger net designed entirely for the Zhang family's huge net, and it was working.And this even bigger web weaver has only one person.

Zhang Haike looked at Wu Xie: "This man's surname is Wang, his name is Wang Zanghai, and he has been dead for almost 1000 years.
