soul probation

【27】

"That was the first time I saw you, and I didn't even see what you looked like." Yan Chen said to Xi Mian on the bed in the dark, "The second time I saw you, I saw you killing someone."

It was a very powerful scene.

He stayed up all night following him, and found that he didn't get out of the car at all, but sneaked into a villa area on foot.When he followed in fear, he saw that he was pressing a man face-to-face on the ground, then picked up his hair from behind, and cut his throat.

Bloody.

Spray from bottom to top.

He looked at the bloodstain with a familiar shape, and witnessed the trajectory of the blood drop that he had deduced hundreds of times. Every drop of blood seemed to be in slow playback. The red Shura field.

Yanchen was completely frightened and stared blankly at the murderer disposing of the corpse.

He has never seen his face, so he could be with the wrong person, right?

How to tell, can you still lean over and smell it?

Finally, he made a decision: run away and call the police directly.

But the next scene made him unable to move forward.

When the murderer put away the plastic sheeting on the floor, he found a drop of blood on the floor.After he wiped it off, he lit it with a lighter.

If the fire was not enough to prove that he was the person he met that day, then his tools dispelled all his doubts——

The lighter is his own, he bought it at the canteen next to the school.

It's him.

What did he say that day?

Thank you for your care, and asked him about the types of medicinal materials...

Oh, and chatted with the murderer about the modus operandi.

He wanted to turn around and run, but his feet didn't listen to him as if they were filled with lead.

Unfortunately, the killer has already found him.Without even turning his head, he waved his hand behind his ear, motioning for him to come in.

In this tense atmosphere, Yan Chen really obediently walked over step by step as if he had been hit by a Gu.

The murderer turned his head, revealing a young and handsome face.

He had a sudden epiphany.

The real taxi driver is probably the pool of blood in the room.

The murderer squatted on the ground and looked up at him, but his aura overwhelmed him.He wiped the blood on his hands, and said expressionlessly: "Have you learned it?"

Yanchen nodded unconsciously subconsciously, then shook his head once he realized it.

"Then your reasoning is correct, kid?"

"...You discovered me a long time ago. You deliberately repeated the previous tricks to show me, didn't you?" Yan Chen calmed down and looked at him steadfastly, "You are waiting for me."

"Obviously you followed me in the middle of the night. Have you finished your homework? Don't you have to go to school tomorrow? Children."

"Don't call me a child, I know everything the school tells me."

"Then you are here to help justice, do you want me to give you your mobile phone and you call the police?"

"No." Yanchen tried not to look at the bloody corpse behind him, and controlled his voice to be neither humble nor overbearing: "You haven't finished talking last time. I wanted to break my head with the last medicine, but I didn't expect it to be alcohol. I never paid attention to it." The aftertaste after the alcohol has evaporated. I just want to ask you, why do you add alcohol to the medicine?"

Xi Mian raised her eyebrows.

What audacity this kid is.

He bowed his head in silence, and after cleaning up every detail on his hands, he stood up and looked down at him.After looking at it for a while, Yanchen's back felt hairy.

-

"You come with me, and I'll tell you."

"Killed someone, didn't you follow me too?" Xi Mian answered him in the dark.

His mission was to go to this city to stand by, and recovering the missing child was just an additional mission.But this time the gray whale's request was a bit special.

Either let Yanchen come back with him willingly, or kill him and go back to receive the punishment.

He knew Gray Whale's intentions and asked him to change his indifferent temperament.It's not about humanistic care, but I just want him to learn to act like Li Wei, laughing and cursing at the palm of his hand, and doing tasks can get twice the result with half the effort.

He didn't have any expectations for himself, and when he accepted the task, he was ready to kill and receive punishment.

After getting the address, a man was sleeping when he entered.He dealt with him neatly, dealt with the scene, and after investigating his mobile phone, he found that he had killed the wrong person.

In such a small basement, there are actually two people living upside down day and night... Xi Mian was shocked and went upstairs, leaning against the corner of the building to watch the real prey return to its nest.

When Little Prey came back in his school uniform, Xi Mian looked him up and down.

This child actually has a lifeless face.

Xi Mian watched him enter the stairs without any intention of doing anything.

He suddenly wanted to try this task.

Presumably carnivores have no interest in dead prey.

he thought.

Bright and cheerful people will definitely not be with themselves.

he thought again.

He was on a mission at night, and he simply lived in this small room during the day.The original intention was to get close to him, but I didn't know anything about it.It's not that he hasn't tried it before. He heard that a smile can make people look friendly. He sat in front of the mirror for a long time, and finally squeezed out an ugly smile, which felt a little scary.

Xi Mian, who usually completed tasks at the speed of light, died under the ravages of social fear.It took more than a month to strike up a conversation.

By the end, he himself began to feel anxious.

In order to relieve anxiety and ensure his mental health, he decided to kill him.

So he waited for him at the corner of the building again.But today, the child was not only lifeless, but also had no light left in his eyes, which were gray.

It might look the same to other people, but he is in this line of work and has too much contact with him, so he can tell at a glance that this is a look that has no desire to survive.

The kid is going to kill himself.

He stood at the corner of the building and stood for a while with a blank expression on his face.

After another intense ideological struggle, he used the mobile phone of the man who had mistakenly killed him to call the landlord—

Have you changed yourself?no.

He chose to go back to receive the punishment himself, and the child asked him to go back to receive the punishment, which are two different things.

he said to himself.

He pushed open the door the next morning with mixed feelings, and blinked when he saw that there was no dead body in the room.After a few days, I exchanged a few field missions in this city with a few colleagues to extend my stay.

But just after changing tasks, the child didn't come back after school that night.

He leaned against the corner of the building and waited until late at night.

Probably died outside.After all, the despair of wanting to commit suicide cannot be saved with a single phone call.

When he was ready to go back to receive the punishment, Yanchen came back again.He couldn't see his expression clearly, but saw that he was naked.

He followed.

There was the rustling sound of cloth rubbing inside the door, and he listened quietly to judge whether he had suicidal tendencies.Then there was the sour sob of a blocked nose, and he listened quietly.

He leaned outside the door, just quietly, listening to him cry all night.

The crying faded away.

The child was lying on the bed, the corners of his eyes were red from crying, and the quilt barely covered his thin and weak waist.A slap-sized wound was exposed on his back, and pale yellow oil oozes from the bottom of the blood-colored skin.

"Mom..." He tugged on his sleeve and whispered.When I touched my forehead, it burned badly.

Xi Mian frowned, pulled out the sleeve, took the gauze from his left hand and wrapped it up for him, then snatched the phone from his right hand, and turned off his own alarm clock.

Then he wrapped himself up instead.The child wore a blindfold with an embarrassed face, but he could also brazenly stick to it, sniffing at his neck.This made Yan Chen, who was either dead or about to send him to die every time the skin contact was very unaccustomed, frowned, picked him up and threw him out.However, high school students can prepare luminol reagents, and even figured out the blood-stained rope method for criminal investigation, which is indeed a malleable talent.

But if he felt pity for it, it wouldn't be him.

"Brother. Have you ever heard of pheromones? I think the sense of smell can really affect the nervous system. I was young at that time, and I was so decisive with you. It's a pity that you can't take a bath this time because of your injury."

"It seems that you expect me to get hurt every time." Xi Mian pouted at him with regretful tone.

There is actually no smell on him, and I don't know how Yanchen smelled it, so he kept asking.

After thinking about it, he has the habit of soaking in medicinal baths after completing missions.

When he fulfilled his promise to Yanchen, he always felt that he was very strange.

Yanchen blushed from the moment he entered the door and began to take off his clothes, and finally came in to have a soak together, and insisted on leaving him after the end, and stood up without saying anything.

"Yeah. I expect you to get hurt every time." Yan Chen lay beside his pillow and smiled.
