Dangerous Personality

In the past ten years, only Yang Yan knew that she had raised a shameful "son".

A kid who appeared out of nowhere and knocked on her door just in time for her son to leave school.

The kid knew a lot about what happened between her and her son.

It was as if he had experienced it himself with her.

"Mom's sweet and sour pork ribs are the best."

"Mom, you're still wearing the bracelet I gave you for your birthday last year."

"Mom, you promised to take me to the zoo when this winter is over."

"..."

Yang Yan felt a little "crazy".

She forced herself not to delve into why this strange child knew so many details, why he appeared at her door at this time, a kind of anticipation from the bottom of her heart drowned her like an abyss.

It was too painful for her to accept the reality of her son's death, so she would rather choose to accept this strange and weird thing that ordinary people would only find unbelievable - her son came back after his death.

Gradually, she lost that rational self.

"Hey, Sister Yan," a week after my son came back, the neighbor opened the door and met her in the aisle, "We steamed some cakes at home, you can eat some of them, death cannot be resurrected, life still has to go on... "

Yang Yan's pupils were wider than before, and she stared at the neighbor without blinking. Those eyes looked a little scary: "What nonsense are you talking about! My son is at home, and he is clearly fine."

The neighbor was dumb: "Your son is not..."

Yang Yan said word by word: "My son has come back."

"He's back," Yang Yan repeated, "he's at home."

She secretly raised the child of unknown origin at home.

At night, the child was lying on the bed she had made, and those eyes stared at her with inexplicable malice when looking directly at people. The child was a little feverish, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Mom! , every time I used to have a fever, you would sing to me."

"Yes, you have been crying since you were a child with a fever." In Yang Yan's eyes, the child's face gradually overlapped with the face in the memory, "You will only calm down when you hear me sing."

The child persistently emphasized: "I also have a fever now."

Yang Yan: "Close your eyes, I'll sing for you."

Those sharp eyes slowly closed.

Yang Yan hummed softly, and she hummed in a familiar dialect: "Sleep, sleep, my favorite baby..."

[We have been together for ten years like this. In these ten years, he grew up according to the trajectory of another child. The clothes I bought for him are all the colors my son likes. I cook the meals that my son likes every day. What should my son Now that he is in high school, I will buy him high school teaching materials, and he will "obediently" do the homework assigned by me every day. 】

[But subconsciously, I still vaguely know that he is different from my child. My child is kind, positive, and optimistic, while he—sometimes looks like a devil. 】

The neighbor's dog was lost that day.

When Yang Yan returned home after buying vegetables, she saw neighbors looking for dogs anxiously: "Did you see Duoduo?"

Yang Yan shook her head.

When she took out the key to open the door, put down a basket of vegetables, and walked into the kitchen to wash the vegetables, she stood in the kitchen and smelled an obvious smell of blood.

But she didn't buy meat.

Following the smell of blood, Yang Yan found the black plastic bag in the trash can. She opened the bag and saw a lump of black hair stained with blood. It was the shepherd dog named Duoduo. But it was chopped into pieces and appeared in her kitchen.

Suddenly a voice came from behind: "Mom, you are back."

Yang Yan shook her hand, and the pieces of minced meat in the black plastic bag fell onto the tiles.

The child looked at the black bag in her hand calmly: "I'm doing my homework at home today, it's so noisy, it keeps calling at the door."

She couldn't deny that it was her son.

She has to live with the illusion that her son is still living with her.

Even if it was a demon who came back, she would accept it.

"It's too noisy, which interferes with your homework." Yang Yan picked up the piece of minced meat and stuffed it back into the black plastic bag with her pale hands. "It's okay, mom will take care of it. Go and do your homework."

The fingers that Chi Qing gently touched on Yang Yan's hand were very cold. When Yang Yan seldom cleared her mind, she noticed that the man in front of her had the same dark eyes as the child's, but the look of depression in the man's eyes More serious, he looked sleepy as if he hadn't slept well for a long time.

If a normal person hears such a secret, his back will feel chills, and it will be difficult to face Yang Yan as if nothing happened.But Chi Qing didn't seem to hear it, it's not that he is good at acting, he really didn't feel anything.

The only feeling is that these two people are quite abnormal.

"I have no right to comment on the matter between you and your son, but the same thing is happening in this amusement park now as it was ten years ago," Chi Qing finally said, "Many families will lose their children like you, and there are many A child like your son... will be left behind this winter."

"Wow-"

After the child was pushed away from Z's hand, his first reaction was to cry, and all fear and panic broke out at this moment.

"Whoa whoa-"

The child is out of danger, but everyone knows that the current situation has not slowed down at all, because the two parties have exchanged hostages, and now Yang Yan is still in Z's hands.

Chi Qing and Yang Yan agreed to pay attention to safety, but Yang Yan chose to risk herself.

No one thought that she really hit Z's weakness.

"Yang Yan is in a very dangerous situation now," Xie Lin said.

Just a second after Xie Lin's voice fell, Z pinched Yang Yan's neck fiercely with both hands, as if to vent his annoyance at being teased just now: "You are lying to me——"

Yang Yan could barely cough a few times at first, but after a few seconds she couldn't even cough, and her face turned blue little by little: "...I..."

Z gritted his teeth: "You have been, have been lying to me—"

"She wasn't your mother," said Chi Qing, who came in behind Ji Mingrui before, "No one lied to you, but you have been lying to yourself."

Z suddenly looked up at Chi Qing: "What did you say?"

Chi Qing: "She wasn't your mother in the first place."

While talking, Xie Lin suddenly looked up at the beams supporting the roof, Chi Qing noticed his movement, and quietly reached out to touch the back of Xie Lin's hand.

[The amusement park has been established for a long time. It must have been abandoned all these years and no one has taken care of it. The light bulbs have been shaking, so the beams hanging from the light bulbs must not be very stable... It is a good thing for us that he has mood swings now. Perhaps the best chance. 】

[Emotional fluctuations mean that he will still be affected by Yang Yan. Once a person is affected, his attention will be easily distracted. 】

"boom--"

In the next second, the beam broke, and the accident happened in an instant. The instigator, Jielin, had the quickest reaction and rushed forward with a stride. At the same time, Z took a step back to avoid the falling half of the wooden plank. He was pushed to the ground by Jielin.

At the same time, Chi Qing and Ji Mingrui were protecting Yang Yan. The woman was close to a coma and her breathing rate was weak.

"crunch-"

Because the other half of the beam was nailed tightly, only half of it fell down, and the other end was still hanging on the roof, precariously.

That half of the beam could fall down at any time.

Z and Jielin restrain each other. Once the beam falls, it will definitely hit one of them. There are several slender and sharp nails pierced on the beam. The sharpest part of the nail is facing them downwards. The two of them take turns exerting force. They all want to avoid the most dangerous positions.

In just ten seconds, the crossbeam fell halfway down again, leaving only a little contact surface.

Xie Lin turned over with his wrists propped on the ground, and Z's back was facing the beam.

When the beam fell, a cloud of dust was thrown up, and everyone saw a cloud of gray. After recovering their vision, they saw two people lying on both sides of the beam. Except for a horizontal stroke on Xie Lin's wrist, no one was injured.

It stands to reason that Xie Lin's position just now had the advantage, and even if he was going to be injured, Z should be injured.

Z knew that he had no leverage to threaten them. He lay on the ground, staring straight at the dilapidated dome, as puzzled as the others, and coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood from his throat: "...you Why do you want to save me?"

Xie Lin knelt on one knee and stood up with support.At the same time, the criminal police who received accurate instructions broke in instantly, and a group of people lined up in a circle within a few seconds, tightly surrounding Z, with countless black muzzles aimed at him.

a few seconds ago.

Z didn't have time to dodge at first, his back was facing the roof, he couldn't see the speed of the falling beam, only his keen sixth sense felt that a whistling downward wind was about to hit him, he was Jielin pushed away.

When Xie Lin withdrew his hand, the edge of the beam brushed past his arm.

"Because not everyone is like you."

"I don't have the right to dispose of anyone's life," Xie Lin said. "The law will make a fair and just decision on how to dispose of you."

Z suddenly laughed: "Why am I the only one who has become like this?"

"Ten years ago, everyone participated in that game, why did I become the only one?"

"Why am I the only one being pulled into the darkness?"

No one answered his question.

Z lay on the ground and blinked, slowly talking about what he experienced ten years ago.

Ten years ago, after the smiling face of that weird man appeared at the entrance of the slide, his life began to change.

The man originally wanted to kill him and use him to practice, but he didn't expect that the child would have the courage to grab the knife in his hand.

The children from the orphanage are like weeds.

That person thought that a child of this age should cry and beg him to let him go, shaking his body like a helpless little animal wandering on the street - but the thought of wanting to live made him overcome all fears in an instant, and he suddenly He rushed forward and bit the man's hand with his teeth, as if he wanted to bite off the piece of meat.

The man obviously didn't talk about how the situation would develop like this. After eating the pain, the knife fell to the ground. Z hurriedly picked up the knife, pointing the point at the man, and the whole person was still huddled at the slide, like a beast in a cave: "Don't you?" come over."

"What can you do if I come here? Do you dare to use a knife?"

"..."

Facing the strange man who was getting closer and closer, Z stretched out the tip of the knife and stabbed it firmly into the man's chest.

He dares.

The man changed his mind.

He suddenly felt that the child in front of him was interesting.

No matter how strong the child was, Z was dragged out of the slide by the man.

"If you want to kill someone," the man leaned closer to Z's ear, pointing to the position of his heart and said, "you should go a little further here."

"..."

"I won't kill you anymore."

The man finally said, "But you have to go back with me."

At that time, Z didn't know that this man would become a criminal sensation in the city three months later. He had no other choice at that time, and was forcibly taken home by the man and locked in the room, kept like a pet.

He huddled in a corner every day and watched men graffiti on the white wall, which was covered with a lot of news materials cut out from newspapers. He saw many different names, as well as the names of some middle school competition awards.

The man would often say some inexplicable things to him, and occasionally he would bring him something to eat when he was in a good mood.

"Children's package, this is a gift of toys, let's play with it." The man threw a bag of things to him.

The toy given in the package was a red toy car, Z was holding it in his hand blankly, and a strange emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

The first gift he received in his life was given to him by a pervert who imprisoned him.

Gradually, Z started talking to men.

Maybe it was because of the toy car, maybe it was because of being locked in a confined space for months and only facing this man.

The man picked a new child to practice. He had seen this child before, lived in the same building, and had knocked on the door to borrow a tape measure.It is not safe to kill this child, but there is no way, this child is unlucky, when this child came to borrow a tape measure, he saw him imprisoned here.

The next night, there was a dead boy in the small room where Z lived.

The boy died in a terrible state. A long, long gash was cut from the throat to the chest, and the internal organs could be seen vaguely.

The man packed the boy into a black suitcase and dragged the suitcase out the door.

"Aren't you coming back tonight?"

"I'm not coming back, I have to dispose of the body."

"..."

"The food is at the door."

"..."

"Look what I'm doing, do you want me to bring anything?"

"Son..." Finally, Z said with difficulty and in a low voice, "Children's set meal, the one from last time."

His life has completely changed.

Three months later, the game begins.

He was different from all the children who were forced to participate in the game. When these children were knocked out or blindfolded and shut into different rooms crying to go home, he stood at the end of the corridor next to that person superior.

On the dark corridor, he and that person stood together, one tall and one short, and there were non-stop crying on both sides of the corridor.

No one knew of his existence except that man.

After the children were almost caught, the man opened one of the doors, and there was already a child in the door. The child was knocked out and thrown on the ground. At that time, Z was not tall, short and thin. He walked through the corridor , step by step, walked into that room by himself.

The man said to him before he closed the door: "I just need one child, will you live to the end?"

Just like how the two met for the first time three months ago, Z Ring hugged himself, pretending to be in a curled up and scared posture. He maintained this posture and looked up at the man outside the door.

"boom".

Until the door was closed, the entire room was engulfed in darkness where no light could be seen.

——"I just need one child, will you live to the end?"

Z curled up in the darkness for a long time, during which he kept staring at the child in the same room.Until the stunned child next to him woke up. The child was about the same age as him, but his body shape was very different from his. The two could not find any similarities in any aspect.

The boy had a round face, a chubby boy with double eyelids.

The boy was terrified after waking up: "Where is this..."

Z looked at him, the darkness was a very good protective color, making it impossible for people to see his snake-like eyes clearly, Z said: "I don't know."

The boy: "Are you also arrested here?"

Z: "Yeah."

There is not much difference in age between the two of them. Children of this age are not so deep-minded. After learning that they have a companion, the boy obviously relaxed a little.

"What school do you go to?"

Z made up a random one: "Experimental Middle School."

The two chatted casually.

Soon the topic will be exhausted.

The boy fell silent, feeling scared again: "Will someone come to rescue us? We will go home."

Z didn't speak.

"Going home" is nothing more than the two words that make people feel safe.

Everyone here wants to go home, but Z knows that he has no home at all.

He has grown so big, the closest thing to the word "home" is the room with chains where he was imprisoned for three months, and the red toy car that was given in the package.

After mentioning "home", the boy seemed to start talking.

In order to suppress the increasingly breathless fear in his heart, the boy began to mention his "home" frequently.

"My mother is waiting for me to go back," the boy said. "The report card was sent out today. I got No. 2 in the whole school. She must be very happy to know."

"Did you know that my mother's sweet and sour pork ribs are very delicious."

"My favorite is my mother's sweet and sour pork ribs."

"..."

It's annoying. Z thought.

He didn't want to hear it at all.

Z doesn't want to admit that it feels like you've never had sugar, but someone next to you keeps telling you he has a lot of sugar and his sugar is sweet.He would never admit how he felt, he told himself: it was just because he talked too much.

At a certain moment, he had the idea of ​​killing this person now.

If only he could shut up.

However, as time passed day by day, Z hoped that he could tell more stories about his mother at some point.

Because these stories never appeared in his life.

The boy occasionally noticed that the person in the same room had a strange temper. Sometimes he looked like he didn't want to listen, but when he really shut up and stopped talking, the person suddenly said a word or two , reopen the topic.

"Last time you said you saved pocket money," Z pursed his lips and whispered, "What did you buy in the end?"

That was yesterday's topic, yesterday the boy babbled "I saved my pocket money for a year and bought my mother a birthday present—"

The boy has a very good personality, and he didn't care about the sudden cold face towards him yesterday. He thought of his mother and smiled slightly. When he smiled, there were two shallow dimples on his face: "I bought a silver bracelet, she likes it very much. ... When I make money in the future, I will buy her a better looking one!"

After a while, the boy said again:

"Do you like the zoo? I really want to go to the zoo. When the winter is over, my mother will take me to the zoo... This winter is really cold, when will it pass?"

In this way, Z knew many things between him and his mother.

Because there is a lack of a child, the time when the game starts does not count from the time they were locked in.

When the game started, on the first day of the game, when everyone was still digesting what "that person" said and didn't respond, Z's hand was on the boy's neck, and his hand kept closing. Tight, it was the first time that the two got so close that the boy could clearly see the eyes of the person in the same room—they were a pair of eyes different from ordinary people, those cold snake-like eyes stared straight at him.

Soon the boy's round eyes were no longer cute, the whole eyeballs protruded, his face gradually became ferocious, and his legs kicked wildly on the ground.

Before dying, the boy heard the last sentence: "I want to live, so you go die."

Z looked at Yang Yan, the woman was still in a coma, his eyes traced the woman's face inch by inch: "So she never knew, I would be so clear about the things between her and her son... because When I was locked in the same room as her son, I killed her son."

No one expected that the story of Z and this "mother" would be like this.

Z withdrew his gaze, and looked at Jielin again: "Your brother is very smart. He found me halfway through the game. He suspected that the missing list was not complete, so he found the orphanage. The relationship between me and that person is too close." , at first we wanted to get rid of him because it would be easy to find him if we found me, then 'the man' knew he couldn't escape, but he wanted to keep me, as long as I live he will live...your brother can only die. "

At that time, they only knew that Xie Feng had gone to the orphanage, but they didn't know that "three months" was confusing Xie Feng. Xie Feng thought that even if there were other victims,

There is no way to explain the time of three months, and the correlation between the two is not too high.

And through subsequent interviews, Xie Feng also learned that the lost orphan was usually withdrawn and unlovable, and he couldn't see the slightest sadness from the teacher and other children. They all thought that the child wanted to leave on his own initiative. He didn't want to stay in the orphanage, so Xie Feng finally tore up the draft paper that said orphanage.

Because of the explosion, the solution to the wind also gave Z time to escape.

He was not really a child who was kidnapped. He was very familiar with the terrain there from the very beginning and knew several hidden entrances and exits. He escaped in the chaos. further and further.

But he didn't know where to go, he walked back to the original amusement park inexplicably, he knew that 'that person' had been arrested, he curled up at the slide for a long time, his body was covered with dried mud and blood.

Where should he go?

He spent several days in the amusement park.

During the day, I pick up the things thrown by tourists in the trash can and eat, and sleep in the slide at night.

Until the evening of the tenth day, a few children left school, carrying their schoolbags, holding fried skewers bought from a stall at the school gate, talking and laughing all the way through the amusement park.

Z inexplicably thought of that round face.

And the sentence that the round-faced boy said: "My mother is waiting for me to go back..."

So on the tenth day, at six forty in the evening.

He stood at the door like a ghost crawling up from hell.

"Knock knock."

"..."

"Mom, I'm back."
