Fire to the Abyss

Lu Yuan successfully turned himself into a hedgehog. Many large and small glass shards were embedded in his back. Blood seeped out along the places where the glass was cut, staining the light-colored suit on his body red.Xia Yan dug out Lu Yuan's jackknife from the debris, and roughly cut Lu Yuan's clothes from the back, cutting his well-made suit to pieces, and the shirt inside was also declared dead.His action of picking off the fragments was not gentle, but Lu Yuan didn't move at all, and his breath didn't change, as if he wasn't the one who was tied like a hedgehog.

"Where's the medicine box?" Xia Yan has rich experience in dealing with injuries, and he quickly pulled out Lu Hedgehog's spines. Unexpectedly, the hedgehog became even tougher after losing the spines, and buried his head in his arms without making a sound. , only left Xia Yan with the back of his head for refusing to communicate.

"Don't say anything." The room is so big, why can't he find it by himself?

It was rare for Xia Yan not to be angry after being dumped, when footsteps of "da da da" sounded in the room, Lu Yuan couldn't help raising his head and took a look, Xia Yan rummaged back and forth in the living room by himself. When he got up, Lu Yuan stared at his bare feet, and couldn't help but said, "The medicine box is in my room on the second floor. Put your shoes on first."

Xia Yan turned his head and gave him a supercilious look: "Whether I wear shoes or not is none of your business?"

This time Lu Yuan was completely silent, and it seemed that Xia Yan was not completely lifeless.

Xia Yan went upstairs halfway, as if remembering something, he hurried back again, took out a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed Lu Yuan's hands, searched the phone and keys from him, gave him a warning look, and finally I went upstairs with peace of mind.

Xia Yan remembered that the last time he came here was a luxurious water bed room with plenty of sunshine. He did not expect it to be transformed into a gloomy and dreary large prison just two months later. No".

Once the heavy blackout curtains were drawn, the atmosphere of the whole room was different. Xia Yan had only glanced through the crack of the door before, but when he was actually inside, he realized that the layout and furnishings of the room gave off a very subtle oppressive feeling. ——All the items are placed in a compact place away from the bed. It is obviously a soft water bed, but there is a rather badly worn iron frame at the head of the bed that does not match it.There was a stale smell in the air caused by long-term lack of ventilation, and with Xia Yan's keen sense of smell, a faint smell of blood was stripped from it.

The medicine box was placed on the bedside table far away from the bed, but Xia Yan didn't take it away immediately, but opened the drawer at the bottom first.The first drawer was not locked, and the things inside were rather messy, including a few bloody hemp ropes, scattered cotton wool, and some small medicine bottles with unknown functions.Xia Yan picked up the small medicine bottle and studied it. There was only one bottle he knew, which was a tranquilizer.The second drawer was locked. Xia Yan took out Lu Yuan's keys and tried them one by one. When he opened it, he found that there was only a square box the size of a notebook inside. Inside the box lay a row of syringes filled with scarlet liquid.

He finally knew what Lu Yuan had done with this room.

Lu Yuan lay on the sofa and waited for a long time before Xia Yan came downstairs with a gloomy face.Lu Yuan saw Xia Yan's face and remembered that his room hadn't been cleaned yet.Xia Yan's attitude towards him was very different from what he had expected. He hadn't recovered from the shock, and he didn't even notice that there were many invisible things in this room.

He didn't understand why Xia Yan refused to let him die. He desperately wanted to crash into Xia Yan's wall to end this unbearable half of his life, but the wall was not hard at all, but warm as a chest, allowing him to I was at a loss for a while.Like a cat chasing its tail and suddenly losing its tail, a sunflower chasing the sun suddenly loses its sun.

Without saying a word, Xia Yan treated the wound on Lu Yuan's back, helped him sit up, grabbed his cut right hand, uncuffed him, cleaned up the blood, and wrapped the wound with gauze.Xia Yan didn't let go of the bandage immediately after wrapping it up, one hand was still gently holding his hand, Lu Yuan tried to pull his arm back, but Xia Yan grabbed his wrist forcefully.

Xia Yan tore off Lu Yuan's shirt sleeves. The cuff buttons fell to the ground due to his violent tearing. Then he swiftly untied an exaggerated watch on Lu Yuan's wrist. Under the cover of the strap was a shocking circle. The dark bruises were completely exposed in front of Xia Yan's eyes.

"Captain Xia, please speak up, don't pull my clothes?" Lu Yuan didn't expect Xia Yan to be so sensitive in this regard, and there was a hint of panic in his tone, desperately wanting to withdraw his hand, but Xia Yan Those hands were like iron tongs, not loose at all.

Xia Yan glanced at him coolly, then savagely stripped off his unlucky shirt, then took Lu Yuan's arms and examined them carefully, and said, "I can't find any traces on the arms, so I can detoxify myself." How many months?"

Lu Yuan stared blankly at Xia Yan: "You..."

Xia Yan said with a fake smile: "How do I know?"

In fact, before he came, he had just caught the mysterious man who brought "fascination" to He Zhaoxu. Xia Yan rolled up his sleeve and found the pinhole on his arm accurately.Xia Yan described Ren Qiang's death to him with a smile on his face. In case he didn't believe him, he kindly showed the photos of the scene and told him that the body was in the autopsy room and he could take him to observe it at any time.Then the man knows everything he can say, ironically, like He Xiaonian, he also believes that there is an antidote to "obsession", and he believes that after the police uncle annihilates the puppet master, he will be saved.Although I don't know why they have such strange beliefs, it undoubtedly brings great convenience to the work of the police-basically as long as you show the photo of Ren Qiang to those people with pinholes in their arms, they can get The information you want is more effective than any torture.

The man said that the group had a way of guaranteeing members' loyalty by giving them mandatory injections of a drug called Captive—a drug with a deadly withdrawal reaction, as far as how deadly it was, no one had ever tried it , but there is a very sensational rumor circulating - it is said that everything you see will turn into a monster like the one in Resident Evil that drools everywhere with its bloody mouth open, including yourself.

"Crazy" evolved from Captive, and it was Five who improved it into a "harmless" stimulant drug-compared to Captive, "Crazy" is indeed much milder, and through some channels controlled by the organization Selling has become a major source of funds for puppet masters.

"I really don't understand what Zero is trying to do, he is a complete lunatic," the man said angrily, "We worked so hard to make money for the organization, but we were stabbed by our own people, it's really unethical .”

The "moral" puppeteer "Drug Promoter" provided Captive and "fascinated" original solution, and the box of Captive and Xia Yan found in Lu Yuan's room was exactly the same.

Xia Yan: "I heard that Captive's withdrawal reaction is like playing a live Resident Evil. Why do you look good? You still maintain a good figure."

As soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, Lu Yuan sneezed loudly. He didn't know what kind of grudge Xia Yan had with his clothes. rumor."

Well, finally started to speak human.Xia Yan casually took a blanket and wrapped Lu Yuan in it, and sat on the sofa facing him.

Xia Yan: "Last time in the cemetery, were you the one who set off cigarettes in front of my father's grave?"

The topic changed so suddenly, Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Well, the person who took me in the district was your father. You left a few hours later than usual that day, so I ran into you accidentally ..."

If I hadn't had a ill-fated reunion dinner with my younger brother that day, I wouldn't have been delayed for a few hours, I wouldn't have met him, I wouldn't have known that there was someone who deliberately waited until after I had paid homage to my father before quietly Go put on a cigarette he likes to smoke.Through Lu Yuan's explanation, Xia Yan seemed to know how he spent his New Year's Eve all these years.

"You were there when he died, can you tell me?"

Xia Yan's tone was very calm, as if what he was asking was not the cause of death of a close relative, the truth that he had been pursuing for many years alone, or the knot in his heart that had been entrenched for a long time, but a question similar to "what to eat for dinner".Lu Yuan couldn't help looking up at him, but his vision became more and more blurred, he couldn't see that face clearly, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

A pair of warm and powerful hands stretched out and held his trembling hands. Some kind of transparent liquid in the eye sockets condensed into water droplets and rushed down his cheeks. At this moment, Lu Yuan finally saw Xia Yan's face clearly. There was a kind of bottomless tenderness hidden in the eyes, which was exactly the same as Xia Yan's eyes when he kissed him at the beach eight years ago.

The string that had been tense in Lu Yuan's heart for a long time broke, and the monsters trapped in his heart heard the horn that symbolized freedom, and all became agitated, rampaging like crazy, biting everywhere, finally, the chain was broken, and the cage was broken. .

"I was the one who killed your father. You should be angry, roar, and shoot me. Why do you still look at me with such tender eyes..."

"Because you showed a very painful expression."

"...Don't you feel disgusted when I said such exaggerated things to you?"

"It's okay." Xia Yan reached out to wipe away the tears on Lu Yuan's face, opened his arms and gently embraced him, letting Lu Yuan rest his face on his shoulder, and then stroked him with extremely gentle and careful movements hair.Xia Yan noticed that Lu Yuan's body became stiff for a moment, he really wasn't used to others touching his hair, Xia Yan thought so, but couldn't remember how he got this information.

Xia Yan turned his head slightly, leaned close to Lu Yuan's ear, and repeated softly: "It's okay." Then, he felt Lu Yuan's stiff body gradually soften.

Xia Yan never thought that she had such a gentle side, nor did she ever think that Lu Yuan would have such a fragile side.

A sudden ringing of the mobile phone interrupted the precious warmth in this room, Xia Yan took out the mobile phone from his pocket to have a look, frowned and handed the mobile phone to Lu Yuan: "Your."

Lu Yuan glanced at the caller, explained in a low voice, "It's about the store", then stood up unsteadily, went to the window and listened to the call.

When Lu Yuan came back, he had already changed into a set of clothes, picked up the key on the coffee table, and said casually: "Captain Xia, there is something wrong in the shop, I have to go over."

Xia Yan curled his lips in displeasure, and he hid the soft Lu Yuan who was trembling slightly in his arms just now, and his serious expression showed that it was definitely not as simple as something happening in the store.

"That's right, I'm with you, you can't even stand—"

Before Xia Yan finished speaking, Lu Yuan swayed and fell to the ground, giving him a live performance of "I can't even stand still".He hurried over to help, but Lu Yuan suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Lu Yuan wrapped Xia Yan's hands behind his back, quickly picked up the handcuffs on the coffee table, passed the chain of the handcuffs through the legs of the coffee table between the upper and lower partitions, and with a "click", handcuffed Xia Yan's hands behind his back. .

"Lu Yuan, what the hell do you want?" This reversal caught Xia Yan by surprise, and it was too late when he realized that he had been tricked by this bastard again.

Lu Yuan ignored Xia Yan's yelling and scolding, searched Xia Yan's belongings and put them out of his reach, wrapped him in a blanket, hugged his feet, and applied medicine to him as if nothing had happened. Shoes were put on him.

Then Xia Yan immediately left a big footprint on his new suit.

"Captain Xia, I have something to deal with, give me some time, and I will present you the entire puppet master. I will notify someone to pick you up later, so please wait here for a while."

"Asshole, you are assaulting the police!"

Lu Yuan leaned down and planted a light kiss on Xia Yan's lips, and immediately let go, before Xia Yan started a new round of cursing: "I wanted to attack the police a long time ago."
