Don't move the old man's bounty

"The penultimate molar on the upper left, that tooth is fake, with a chip hidden in it."

Jiang Juan raised his head and opened his mouth, asking Xiao Shi to help him pull out the tooth with tweezers.

Although it is a denture, it is an old style a few years ago. It is still fixed with an old-fashioned wire structure for many years. When it is pulled out suddenly, the rusted metal will inevitably scratch the gums, and it is bright red again.

Jiang Juan didn't take it seriously, and felt fine after rinsing his mouth, but Xiao Shi insisted on letting him bite the cotton ball, which made him a little stubborn.

Xiao Shi covered his mouth, and he bit back. Before the man said anything, he felt that the bite was hard, and he turned his head and let go, spitting out the cotton ball full of blood.

Xiao Shi discovered that this denture was different from any other on the market. It might have been made by Jiang Juan himself. It was strong, but there was a risk of scratching.

He took out the chip sealed in the tooth and asked, "When did your tooth fall out, why don't I know."

"You've been walking for so long, and you don't know everything." Jiang Juan felt the smell of blood was too strong, and bit a cotton ball again, "I was too young before, I couldn't pretend to be troubled, and I was messed up when I was undercover. It was knocked out by a person, and a whole piece of teeth here is loose. Fortunately, they were restored later, otherwise I would have to pretend to be a fake. Needless to say, this method is still very useful. The pain can make many people A lesson, but I am an exception, I am too hot-tempered, I don’t learn well, and I get beaten a lot.”

After he finished speaking, he himself fell silent. Xiao Shi didn't beat him less before, and his words seemed to be insinuating.

But on second thought, so what if he shoots?Why should he care what Xiao Shi thinks?When he was beaten back then, didn't Xiao Shi never consider whether he hurt or not?

"I'm sorry." Xiao Shi's voice was muffled, and he didn't even dare to look back at him to apologize.

For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable seeing Xiao Shi like this.

After a while, he said: "...I don't remember hating you. This old thing is brought up to stab you from time to time, maybe I just want you to remember it. I don't have to worry about it, but you can't forget it."

"I will never forget it." Xiao Shi said, "I swear to you in front of Jiang Zhu."

Jiang Juan was terrified by the word, and got up and went upstairs before he could say the next thing.

The chips hidden in the teeth have been eliminated for several years. Nowadays, no suitable card reader can be found, and how to extract the contents has become a problem again.

Fortunately, the Jiang family’s house has not been tidied up for many years, and many old things are kept. The two of them rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find some materials and made a simple card reader. At least it read out the contents that Jiang Juan had saved. .

Most of what Jiang Juan recorded were the obvious traumas on Jiang Zhu's body, including fatal wounds on his neck and chest, and the man's bloody left hand.

When Xiao Shi studied the details of each photo one by one, Jiang Juan said beside him: "Last year, Zhou Xuan finally gave an important piece of evidence, and it has been a long time since it was sent to me through small punishments. Yes. He is my brother’s best friend, and knowing that my brother is in danger, he will find a way to stop him, so my brother participated in the game behind Zhou Xuan’s back. At that time, there was no signal in Fengming Mountain where he was, and the message could not be sent out, so he sent him and Zhou Xuan's chat conversations became a diary, recording what happened to him in those few days."

"I heard he protected several children who were involved in the game."

Xiao Shi's "hearing" is relatively far away, and he doesn't even remember where he heard it.

Jiang Juan nodded, "He told in his diary that he witnessed the fighting between players, and he protected some children who had no self-defense power. As a result, he was targeted by other players and was injured in the attack. But I I don't think he is that fragile, even if he brings a few children with him, he won't be able to reach this point, so if there is something abnormal about this thing, it should prove that there is something wrong with his death." He tapped the sealed test tube with his fingertips, "Do you have any idea?"

"Maybe it's a kind of poison...that's my guess." Xiao Shi was not sure, but had a vague feeling, "Most of the crystals precipitated in specific environments, this is probably a coincidence, you mistakenly typed By mistake, he found out the secret of Jiang Zhu's death in some way, maybe somewhere, he has been guiding you."

"……hope so."

Jiang Juan was comforted by these words, his spirit improved a little, and he found a copy of the chat record provided by Zhou Xuan from the interlayer of the bookshelf.

When reviewing the content inside, Jiang Juan hesitated a little. When Xiao Shi raised his eyes, he saw him looking at him rather scrupulously. After meeting his gaze, he hurriedly looked away, as if he felt a little regretful.

Xiao Shi understood that the content of the document might not be suitable for him to read, or he should not see all the content, Jiang Juan only wanted him to read a part of it.

He pretended not to notice this detail, and he had no words.

After deliberating for a moment, Jiang Juan still passed the things over, avoiding him by taking the opportunity to get up and pour water.

A thin piece of paper records everything that Jiang lived at the end of his life.

[September 9, the first day I arrived at Fengming Mountain, I was pulled into a huge and dangerous system. Everything that happened before my eyes overturned my cognition, and I began to suspect that I had never really understood this world.

But these are not important, I came to participate in the game instead of Xiao Shi, I hope he can be safe, I hope everything goes well, I hope Ah Juan will not blame me, I hope I can leave here alive, I hope Zhou Xuan can forgive me. 】

[September 9, the game started, and I saw those people called "preys". They were divided into levels like auction items. The ultimate goal of all players, as long as he gets his head, he can end the game early and earn high rewards.

I've heard some people talking about the plan and it's just unbearable.And the other "black and silver prey" are actually some underage children. I have seen some faces in the files of missing persons registered on the intranet. There are also some children with dark skin who look like Southeast Asians. Why do they Will come here? 】

[September 9th, my second dungeon started, and the first dungeon on September 4rd, I didn’t record it because I couldn’t accept what I had experienced.

The rules of time here are different from reality. I suspect that powerful technology is interfering with our brain waves, allowing us to enter the "game level" immersively, struggling between reality and illusion.

I saw with my own eyes those crazy "hunters", no, they were lunatics committing crimes in front of my eyes. They gathered people to take drugs, murder others, and even blatantly chased and killed those children who had no resistance, and imposed all kinds of shocking torture on them. Heinous atrocities, and finally kill them.

In broad daylight, how could there be such arrogance and illegal behavior!It's so cruel, I have to find a way to get them out. 】

【September 9th, at the end of the second dungeon, I was injured.The gold coins I earned were used to exchange food for the children. There was no medicine, and my wounds healed very slowly, which was too slow.

Rescuing the "prey" from the "hunters" was not difficult, but I was treated as a loner scrambling for prey, and was targeted by small groups.

In this instance, I hid in a secluded basement with three rescued children. There was no light, no food, no water, and no absolute safety.I understand why this game is called "Ghost Domain"...]

[On September 9, my injury got worse, the wound was infected, and I added a new injury. I needed antibiotics.I can pass the checkpoint in the most conservative way, and the gold coins I earn are only enough to buy the minimum standard rations, and I have no money to buy medicine.

These children were so hungry that they cried every day when they woke up, and continued to sleep after crying. There was only one child who kept staring at me with vicious eyes. I thought he was too hungry.

I have to find a way to find something to eat for them. I don't know when this damn game will end, and I can't take it any longer. 】

[September 9, the rescue still did not arrive. My injury worsened, and the pus and blood began to stink. Such hot weather will accelerate the growth of bacteria. If I don’t get treatment, I will definitely be amputated.Fortunately, a young man named Song Shensi helped me, gave me some food, and helped me treat the wound.

He, like me, is looking for a way out of here, and has no intention of suffering to the end.

Now that I have almost lost my mobility, I can no longer take care of these children. I am so worried that I will drag them down.But once they left my side, they would be killed soon, and I began to be afraid.The nasty-looking kid was getting restless, and he was glaring at me. 】

[On September 9th, I persisted in 9 dungeons, but still fell short. That child betrayed me and others for food.

Those "hunters" are coming soon, but my injuries are too bad to move, I can only let those innocent children escape, hoping they can find a way out.

Dad, please bless them in heaven. 】

There was a thunder outside the house.

The lightning pierced through the dead night, and the strong light that the curtains couldn't block illuminated a couple of people in the room.

Xiao Shi stood up abruptly, and rushed to behind Jiang Juan, whose back was facing him. He was anxious to find out the doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to reach out his hand to touch the man's back.

"You will know sooner or later, and I won't hide it from you. As you can see, he didn't go for me, but for you. It's just that I was the one who got the news and wanted to help you, so of course my brother is I killed it."

Jiang Juan's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and the water surface fluctuated accordingly, causing ripples. He simply drank it down, holding his breath, "But I didn't..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt his body sink.

The person behind him knelt down at his feet slowly, with his forehead against his waist, tears streaming down his face.

"...I haven't regretted it." Jiang Juan felt that all the hardships of the past ten years had been exhausted with this one sigh, "I won't regret it in the future."

The disclosure of this truth not only did not make him feel relieved, but he felt his heart was pounded and he was even more breathless.

Even he himself was not ready to let Xiao Shi know all this.

He didn't expect to be able to hide it from that person for the rest of his life, but it shouldn't be so sudden.

Originally, he thought viciously, if Xiao Shi only learned the truth of the year after his death, he would be tortured by guilt and regret for the rest of his life but could not make up for it, and he would have paid off the resentment in his heart.

He never expected, nor did he care about Xiao Shi's compensation.

But at this moment, he didn't feel the pleasure of getting his revenge at all, but felt that he couldn't bear it.

Don't get abused out of order, Stockholm.

"...He gave me two lives, and you owed me ten years of debt. I can't afford to pay back what I owe to you...but what have I done to you..."

Xiao Shi couldn't cry, hugged Jiang Juan, crying hoarsely.

Jiang Juan had never seen him collapse to such an extent. Even in the days shortly after Jiang Zhu left, Xiao Shi was just red-eyed, hysterical like a wounded beast, making trouble out of no reason, but he never lied in front of him. Tears.

Only once.

Only that time, after a violent incident, in a half-dream and half-awake state, he was so drunk that he cried and said drunken words that Jiang Juan didn't even dare to think about.

——I'm sorry, Tired, I'm really sorry, I don't want to hurt you...

——But I'm so useless, I've been making excuses for my incompetence...

——I have to hate someone, sorry, I chose you...

They all say the truth after drinking, and Jiang Juan feels that he never hated Xiao Shi in the past years, which may also have something to do with it.

But this time, Xiao Shi seemed to have lost the ability to speak, leaving only the instinct to cry, which is also the most genuine expression of emotion.

The root of Jiang Juan's tongue was bitter, and even such a simple reaction as opening a mouth became extremely difficult, so he simply used Xiao Shi's words to comfort him in reverse: "It's all over, Xiao Shi, let it pass."

In that muffled cry, he heard "I'm sorry..."

God knows how afraid he is of these three words.

Afraid that in the past 3000 long nights, I did not dare to fall asleep, and kept my eyes open in the endless darkness until the sky appeared.

Jiang Juan turned around, he wanted to pull Xiao Shi's hand away, but every time he let go, Xiao Shi would pounce on him again and hug him even tighter, making it difficult for him to move an inch.

Jiang Juan couldn't move, and couldn't bear to push the heartbroken Xiao Shi away. His hand hovered in the air for a long time, and finally landed on Xiao Shi's head, rubbing his curly hair.

"Okay, I won't comfort you anymore, you want to open something yourself. We don't need your apology, nor your atonement and compensation. No one has ever expected anything in return for doing these things for you. You live well, It is the greatest respect for those who care about you."

He stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Shi, "Get up, don't kneel down. If he's still here, you'll have to say I bullied you."

Xiao Shi got up, but he didn't give him a chance to escape, he pushed him against the wall with a few steps, and hugged him tightly.

As if letting go... he would never be found again.

Jiang Juan looked up at the chandelier, cursing himself for being too soft-hearted, raised his hand disobediently, patted Xiao Shi, pressed his tear-stained face to his shoulder, and let the warm tears slip into his neckline, Large slices were wet.

"Forget it, I won't persuade you anymore, just cry, it feels better to cry."

"...It should be me who died, why is it Jiang Zhu who died for me?"

After Xuan Ran cried, Xiao Shi's voice was low and hoarse, which sounded a little strange, "I am the one who killed him, I should be responsible for his death, it should be because I can't sleep, I can't sleep at night, I should be bruised all over my body, my liver and gallbladder are torn apart." ...But you have carried it for me for ten years, but I still impose that kind of pain on you, and tortured you for so long...It's too unfair, it's too unfair to you... "

"You are wrong. No one deserves to die. There is no fairness in this world. Most people insist on going on no matter how painful they are. It is because they are the ones who do the multiple-choice questions. There is no turning back. But you are a exception."

Jiang Juan closed his eyes, bit his dry lips, and this time the confession was truly relieved: "...I chose your path for you, and I have to be responsible to you...so, the person who should say sorry , I was right."
