Chapter 15 Saving and Killing

Gu Manwen couldn't help asking, "Did he find a new job after plastic surgery?"

Xu Yan looked at the desperate figure on the bank of the river, and the answer was ready, but he still asked Fu Ye to check the email.

The emails in the mailbox were empty, as if there had never been any correspondence. When Fu Ye restored the data, he had to admire Zhu Anping for being able to delete it so cleanly.

All emails in the month before the stop were recovered. Except for some advertising emails, Zhu Anping only received the news that he failed the interview.

Fu Ye couldn't help but sigh for him, "It's all bad news, it's too hopeless."

Gu Manwen thought of an important question, "This Zhu Anping is still single, right? Why is he still not married at the age of 40?"

She's not against older singles, it's just that it's unusual in light of popular trends.

Fu Ye hesitated for a while, "Well... I found out some reason..."

Gu Manwen said anxiously, "Say."

"He...has an electronic diagnosis sheet that says impotence..."

"Ahem..." Xu Yan felt the embarrassment in the atmosphere, coughed twice, and interrupted the topic. "Zhu Anping spent 50 yuan to change his appearance, but he didn't feel the change in his life. He was in debt on the one hand and his life was not improving. He must be very desperate now."

Song Ting reorganized the storyline, "After going through the layoffs, he put all his eggs in one basket to change the status quo, but the final result was a complete failure. The previous experience was roughly the same. However, after he returned to his hometown, he fell into a new life because of something. level of despair?"

So many desperate things before happened in Area B, but Zhu Anping collapsed alone in the most remote place of Luonan Village, so something must have happened in Luonan Village, which became the last tree that overwhelmed Zhu Anping. straw.

Xu Yan thought of Zhu Anping's parents, and guessed, "Maybe his last despair came from his parents." He turned to Fu Ye and asked, "Is there any record of Zhu Anping's disappearance?"

The person who has been busy searching the mobile phone finally remembered to go to the missing database to find the information of the victims, and quickly shared it.

"The person who reported the case was Zhu Anping's parents. What's strange is the time of the report. His parents reported the case ten days after Zhu Anping disappeared."

"My child has been missing for so long, it's impossible for them not to know..." Xu Yan said thoughtfully, "Maybe, they don't want to report the case... Once Zhu Anping comes back, the plastic surgery will definitely not be hidden. The debt cannot be hidden... His parents may be very angry, and even scolded Zhu Anping. Under the rage, they are unwilling to care about the reason for their son's disappearance... But parents must still love their children , so in the end the case was reported.”

Xu Yan's reasoning was very reasonable, but there was no real basis. Song Ting suggested, "Xu Yan, observe Zhu Anping's face again, and try to figure out his personality traits."

"clear."

Zhu Anping's desire to seek death exists, but whether he will end his own life in the end... It is still necessary to draw conclusions from his character...

Holding the camera, Xu Yan knelt beside Zhu Anping, lowered his head together with him, and stared at the calm river surface...

There are their reflections on the river surface, and their faces are clearly reflected on the water surface... He didn't realize this detail before, but now he is observing Zhu Anping's face reflected on the water surface...

Maybe it's because of the different shooting angles of the camera, or because of the reflection... In the photo, Zhu Anping's eyes are not so dim...

Song Ting stood beside Xu Yan. Xu Yan observed the faces of the victims, while he watched Xu Yan's figure reflected on the water, also kneeling. Zhu Anping was slumped, but Xu Yan was as calm as water. ...

Although Zhu Anping fell into despair, Song Ting felt that he might have more nostalgia for this world than Xu Yan.

Xu Yan did not expect that the team leader, who has always worked hard, would lose his mind during the execution of the task.He was still carefully observing Zhu Anping's face and expression. The face after plastic surgery had too much influence on him, making the analysis this time very laborious.

In fact, the bigger the test, the more excited he is.

He has a lot of energy, his brain is always working and he doesn't feel tired. "Because of his congenital defects, Zhu Anping has always had a low self-esteem. This low self-esteem has also affected his later life, making him shy away from doing anything. His career has not been able to develop, and this is also inseparable from this reason. It's a pity that he doesn't have too many opinions. He likes to follow the trend of the public. Probably because of his own speciality, he yearns for the feeling of being on the same level as others. So he has been struggling, but he is trapped in psychological constraints, and failed. The mentality made his life a failure."

"People who don't have their own opinions tend to be weak, and their thoughts are easily influenced by the outside world... If you can know what Zhu Anping experienced before coming here, you can definitely get an accurate answer."

After listening to his reasoning, Song Ting suddenly asked, "Xu Yan, why do you think people will be nostalgic for the world?"

Xu Yan thought this was a serious question, so he replied with a rigorous attitude, "I often think from the opposite direction, thinking about why people want to leave this world. Durkheim divided suicide into four types, but in fact they all It is because of the inability to have a benign interaction with the society that the idea of ​​suicide arises... If there is no virtuous circle between desire, dedication and reward, it is very likely to drive people into a desperate situation... Therefore, people who will be nostalgic for the world are often People who can integrate into society intact.”

He answered this question from a rational point of view, but Song Ting did not get the answer he wanted.

"Your statement is correct. Rationality and objectiveness are suitable for summarizing laws and trends, but ordinary people are often emotional. They don't think as much as you do when making choices. Like the collapsed Zhu Anping, his suicidal thoughts are completely driven by emotions. Driven, you can't see through his choice with the rationality of a bystander."

They communicated with one high and one low gaze, the exchange of soul and wisdom made this moment quiet, and the detector in the deep water broke through the water, breaking their tranquility.

Song Ting continued, "Xu Yan, as I said, you are a natural observer, trust your first instinct, trust your sensibility."

Song Ting convinced Xu Yan to believe his words in a persuasive way, and replied, "Yes."

He asked again, "Can you tell me your answer now?"

Xu Yan turned his gaze back to the reflection on the water, and said firmly, "Yes, he will choose to commit suicide."

The underwater detectors did not find any hidden dangers, and the depth of this river was as calm as its surface.

At this point, the search for this mission is over.

When the critical moment came, Song Ting turned back the time to the past.

The setting sun in the west rose again, and the light reflected on the river surface became more intense, and Zhu Anping's figure disappeared from the river bank.

They hid on the shore, waiting for Zhu Anping, who had gone back to the past, to appear again.

Zhu Anping returned to the fringe area of ​​Luonan Village. The increasingly desolate environment made his heart suffering from the cold even more miserable. No one persuaded him to go home at this time.

Elderly parents will not expect their son's impulsive departure from home, and will gradually have the idea of ​​suicide.

The river flows from west to east. People are fragile and sensitive when they are sad. Zhu Anping remembered that when he was young, he would come here with his friends to catch fish and shrimp, but after they grow up, the happiness that this river can give Quickly outdone by life's more seductive pleasures.

Elimination exists everywhere, I was doomed to be eliminated from birth...so why struggle...

Zhu Anping knelt down on the bank powerlessly, his face was reflected on the river surface, a face he was not yet familiar with... He smiled wryly.

He thought of his parents, if he left like this, wouldn't it be too unfilial...

He repented and blamed himself for not living a good life...

Life and death lingered in his mind. At the moment when the choice was about to be made, the space-time restorers needed to change a detail to make things develop in the direction they expected.

This time, Zhu Anping has no connection with external things, and his thoughts of life and death are completely controlled by his own consciousness...

Then, the space-time restorer will replace him to control his body.

For such a cruel task, Song Ting embraced him. He stood behind Zhu Anping. When he sensed that the moment of stillness was approaching, he stretched out his hands...and pushed Zhu Anping into the river...

This is a rescue, but put on the cloak of 'killing'.

The static time and space disintegrated in an instant, and Zhu Anping fell into the river 10 years later, and the calm water splashed huge splashes.

Xu Yan's intuition was correct. The thought of death overcame Zhu Anping's desire for life, making him want to abandon those so-called responsibilities desperately...

His last thought was, at least, let me choose for myself once.

From the moment humans explore time and space, the original order has long been broken.Once the time and space fragments are broken, they will no longer be bound by the trend of reality...

In other words, Zhu Anping, who they appeared by the river and rescued, did not break the rules of time.

The moment Song Ting returned to reality, he jumped into the river without hesitation. Fu Ye used the emergency communicator to call the nearby rescue team.

This was a tacit cooperation, Lao Wang rushed over quickly with his people, and immediately took over the rescue mission when Song Ting brought people ashore.

The space-time restorers returned quietly in the vehicles they came in.
