Case File Compendium

There was a rumbling sound, thick smoke rose, and fragments of broken glass splashed all over the place.

But surprisingly, the area involved in the explosion is not large. It may be that the solution in the explosive reactor will not cause a large-scale chain reaction, or it may be that there are dead people watching from the sky. This device In the end, no policeman or soldier was harmed.

It just protected Li Yun and Duan Wen who was hugging Li Yun tightly, and was dragged down the abyss by accident...

At that moment, Li Yun seemed to have been activated the memory of more than 20 years ago, and he completely reproduced the protective action of more than 20 years ago.

But he didn't realize that what he dropped this time was not a light plate, but a machine that would explode...

The gunpowder smoke finally dissipated slowly, revealing a piece of scorched earth.

Zheng Jingfeng panted heavily, stood up straight, and looked at everything in front of him.

He watched Duan Wen's body covered in blood under Li Yun's reformed body, and large streams of blood were flowing out of Duan Wen's arteries.The skin and flesh of Duan Wen's whole body were scorched, and although his chest still heaved, it was getting weaker and weaker.

Zheng Jingfeng looked at him.

I don't know why, maybe it's because such deceit and betrayal are too sad and shocking to him.This kind of complicated emotion surpassed the joy that a catastrophe will finally end.

He took a breath, stepped on the scorched ground full of debris and scrap iron with his combat boots, and walked step by step until he reached the bodies of Duan Wen and Li Yun.

He lowered his head and looked at the man whose face he could no longer recognize.

"why."

he asked him.

The cheek muscles twitched, tears fell, and rain fell on Duan Wen's face.

"Chen Lisheng, why? Ah?... Don't you have feelings?! Don't you know that your master has no obligation to treat you so well? He was so tired at that time, and he taught you every day and took care of you, He said you are a good policeman! You will be a good policeman!! Chen Lisheng - why are you?!! He blocked the gangster's knife for you! You said you don't want to go home, he will take you back to his house! He treats you As good as your own son, you...why are you..."

At the end, Zheng Jingfeng was sobbing.

"When you were designing their deaths, you were killing...the master and wife who cooked for you and accompanied you to see the doctor...how did you feel? Chen Lisheng...you tell me how you feel !!!”

Duan Wen was lying on the ground, he was still hugged tightly by Li Yun.

It was a posture to protect his companions, in fact, his master had done this to him before.

At this time, Duan Wen's consciousness has completely returned, but he can hardly hear any sound clearly.

Zheng Jingfeng's roar seemed far away.

Duan Wen was lying there breathing weakly like this. He would not have died so easily in the first place. At the last second, his consciousness surpassed Duan Cuizhen's brainwaves, and he came back to his senses—he could have avoided This dropped explosive device.

At that second, he could have pushed Li Yun away and dodged by himself.

But Li Yun hugged him tightly, naively, wanting to protect him.

So at that second, he hesitated.He hesitated and did not push Li Yun away to escape. He stared into Li Yun's eyes during that life-or-death second.

He saw his own reflection in those eyes.

Just like many years ago, when Li Yun was outside the tavern, she jumped up to block the falling heavy objects for him.One boy looked at another boy.

Shen Jing's eyes stared at the same quiet eyes, but one was fake and unintentional, and the other was really ruthless.

Just for a second—

Duan Wen missed the last chance to escape.

Blood kept flowing out of the wound, and he calmly accepted what happened, and he never shy away from life and death.

In his view, life is like a game of chess, sometimes it is just a single thought, and the whole game will be lost, and he has nothing to face about it.only--

Why, at that second, did he hesitate?

He doesn't seem to know either.

He is a real "machine" trained by Duan Cuizhen since he was a child. He has no emotions, is absolutely rational, and pursues the greatest truth of immortality and scientific research.

Old Zheng asked him how he felt when he killed his master and his mother...

What mood...?

When Mandela was planning to kill Xie Ping and Zhou Muying, he didn't seem to feel anything. He just watched the flames from the big truck that day, and he didn't feel anything.

But I don't know why, but later he was busy with everything and forgot many things.

But I can't forget the fire alone.

Just like he couldn't forget Li Yun's eyes full of disappointment when he found out that he was a black policeman.

Duan Wen closed his eyes, he couldn't move anymore, only his eyeballs could move, and he cast his last sight on Li Yun's reformer.

He watched Li Yun's last move to protect him.

With the remaining strength, he stared at Li Yun and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

The blood-covered substitute and reinvented man also used his last strength to say hoarsely, "I... just... instinct..."

Duan Wen's pupils shrank.

For a moment, the face of the young police officer who didn't care about anything seemed to appear in front of his eyes again.

More than 20 years ago, Li Yun gave him a similar answer when he smashed down the light sign in the tavern.

But human instinct, human emotion... what is it?

He has researched for nearly 40 years, researching from books, researching from laboratories, researching from cells, researching from others, and researching behind a kind and gentlemanly mask.

He sometimes feels that he has figured everything out, and his penetrating understanding of human nature can already be manipulated arbitrarily.As long as he wants to pretend to be whoever he wants, he can be that person.

Because of this, in these years, there are many men and women who have been used by him and who are still devoted to him, such as Lu Yuzhu.

For example, those passers-by who were more vague than Lu Yuzhu.

He played games with them, trying to feel people's emotions, but in the end, he couldn't even remember their names.

Is it human nature to be like this?

Then why, Li Yun's nature is not like this?Why can Li Yun lend a helping hand to an ordinary classmate and protect her with her body?

Slowly, for some reason, Duan Wen remembered many years ago, when he was still in college.Once after a run, he and Li Yun sat side by side on the playground in Guangyulan.

At that time, they had just entered school and were not very familiar with each other. Li Yun glanced lazily at him and said, "Chen Lisheng, I think you are quite strange."

He was a little alert, but still smiled in accordance with the normal human reaction he had learned: "Why am I weird?"

"I feel that you are too upright, as if you are pretending."

"..."

The cicadas on the trees were chirping, and the September wind carried a languid and sweet fragrance that summer is about to fade away and autumn is not yet approaching. The flowers in the flower beds were blooming brightly, swaying silently around them.

In that embarrassing silence, Li Yun suddenly burst out laughing, and he handed him a bottle of ice soda, with a lazy expression on his face: "Just kidding. We will all be classmates from now on. The police station belongs to a small team, and I expect you to block me if there is danger."

"……why."

"what why."

"Why do you expect me to block you?"

Li Yun twitched her lips, revealing a not-so-police, rather cold smile: "Because I look like someone who would be a traitor, other students are reluctant to approach me. I have no choice but to You are a good old man. Don't be afraid, Chen Lisheng, I am actually quite reliable, and I will save you when you are really in danger."

"..."

"I'm not kidding, trust me, people have feelings after all. Cheers."

Li Yun bumped the glass soda bottle against the bottle he was holding.

Jingle Bell--

The bell of the police academy rang throughout the campus. Li Yun took a sip of her soda, wiped her sweat with her school uniform, and looked back at him with bright eyes.

"get out of class is over, let's go together."

Duan Wen closed his eyes.

get out of class is over, Chen Lisheng.

Let's go together……

In the end, Duan Wen seemed to be back after the tavern explosion——

In the corridor, the young Li Yun looked at him with a lazily smiling while holding a cane.

"Chen Lisheng, my leg is hurt and I'm wearing a plaster cast, please carry me back."

"...The dormitory is on the seventh floor."

"You don't want to?"

"……No."

He eventually dwarfed in front of him, revealing his broad shoulders in his police academy uniform.

"Come up. I'll carry you on my back."

He has never carried another person from the first floor to the seventh floor on his back in his life, and even his younger brother Chen Man has never climbed such a high floor on his back.

Li Yun lay behind him, her cheek pressed against his back, and she could feel his warmth even through the clothes.

On the university campus at that time, the corridors were dimly lit, with green-painted walls and concrete floors, and the lights on one floor were broken. He carried him on his back and walked very slowly.

Li Yun was on his back, a tall boy who was not very heavy, probably too thin.Duan Wen remembered that the conditions in his family were not very good. The children from the poor village had to live on scholarships.

He was dull for a while, and said a word: "Shall I treat you to hot pot tonight, or do you want to eat bridge rice noodles from your place?"

"Ah?" Li Yun seemed to be laughing behind his back, "Then you have to carry me downstairs again, and then carry me up again."

"...It's okay. Just treat it as exercise."

"Then I'll eat rice noodles."

"it is good."

"The kind with extra meat." He seemed to feel that he had made an excessive request, and he was very proud of it. "Don't leave me somewhere without paying."

Chen Lisheng laughed after hearing this.

It's just that the corridor was so dark, he was facing the ground, and Li Yun didn't see his smile.

No one saw his smile.His expression has always been shown for various purposes, but that time when no one saw him, he showed such a calm and refined expression.

It's a pity he didn't think about why.

He just said: "Okay. I will carry you there, and I will carry you back."

Li Yun was overjoyed: "You are really a good person..."

The innocent boy said, you are really a very good person.

The young man who was not yet stained with blood said, I will carry you back, and I will carry you back.

I will carry you back...

The blood flowed more and more, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and his life was lost. Duan Wen never thought that he would not die in anyone's assassination, but died under the protection of Li Yun's subconscious mind.

It seems that there is the most powerful thing in the dark, which can protect people and kill people. It silently led Duan Wen to this ending for more than 20 years.In the past 20 years, Duan Wen has been seeking the true meaning of this power, just as he seeks the results of every scientific research.

And at the last second of his life, the gentle conversation and laughter between the two of them suddenly disappeared when they were teenagers, and Chen Lisheng and Li Yun also disappeared cruelly.

He only heard the disappointed and bloody words that Li Yun said to Duan Wen.

-

When his lark died, he said:

"When you get to the end, maybe you can understand..."

Duan Wen didn't know whether he understood it or not.

In the end, the only thing he felt clearly was the warmth dripping from the end of his eyes...

what is that.

It was like something he had never owned in his entire life.
