Chapter 9
Night, police station.
A stabbing incident occurred late at night, which was of a very heinous nature. However, after questioning, the police found out that Wen Xin did not know the man who followed him at all.
It can’t be said that he didn’t know him at all. After carefully looking at the other person’s face, Wen Xin seemed to have some impression of him.
It was not until his colleague finished the call and rushed over that he realized why he had encountered such a sudden disaster.
The man's face flushed all the way to his neck: "You and this pretty boy were flirting in broad daylight, and you even let him touch your waist. Could it be that you two have been secretly together without telling me?"
"He is just my colleague. I was moving things at noon and the bracelet in my pocket fell off. I asked him to pick it up and put it back for me!"
The female colleague argued loudly, looking a little devastated: "How could you be such a person? You followed someone with a knife in the middle of the night. What do you want to do?!"
The man's eyes were gloomy. Under the police's glaring eyes, he mumbled unconfidently, "I, I just wanted to scare him, I didn't mean to hurt anyone."
The recorder couldn't help it.
"So the wound on the man's hand was cut by him himself, right?"
"I didn't hurt his hand. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance video!"
"You were caught on surveillance camera following someone home with a knife in hand, and you're still trying to make excuses!"
The policeman slapped his hand on the table and said unhappily: "As for the section of road where you had the conflict, the surveillance broke down last month."
The man's eyes widened in disbelief, and he turned around and stared at Wen Xin viciously: "You live there, you already knew that the surveillance was broken, you are framing me!"
Wen Xin closed his eyelids, clenched his wrist nervously, and his whole body was shaking.
The police were furious when they saw the knife-wielding murderer dared to threaten the victim in front of them: "You still don't know you are wrong even after all this. Do you know that you will be sentenced for intentional injury regardless of whether you hurt anyone or not?!"
Knowing that he was going to prison, the man with a hot head finally woke up and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.
The quarrel lasted until late at night before it came to a temporary end.
Wen Xin came out with his colleagues and asked the police officer hesitantly and worriedly: "I think I pinched his wrist blue when I was struggling. Is he okay?"
The police officer also noticed the bruises on the man's wrist. He thought the young man looked thin and weak, but he was surprisingly strong. He comforted him and said, "It's okay. You are just defending yourself."
Wen Xin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at his palm. The enthusiastic police officer had bandaged the wound for him and it had stopped bleeding.
The situation was urgent just now, and he didn't know whether the scale viper had blood dripping on the ground. He just wanted to do something to cover it up.
As for framing a man, he was still in shock at the time and didn't have time to think too much.
The female colleague next to me couldn't hold back her tears after she came out.
Female colleague: "He is usually a very nice person, he doesn't hit or scold anyone, how could he be so scary!"
Men usually hide their true colors so well that their female colleagues only see their gentle and considerate side.
Now that she had seen clearly how vicious and cruel the man was in secret, she felt a chill down her spine when she recalled the details that had always seemed sweet to her.
Wen Xin lowered his voice: "It's okay, it's better to see what kind of person he is as soon as possible."
"I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry." The female colleague looked at the bandage on his hand, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she couldn't stop apologizing guiltily.
"It's okay, don't cry."
Wen Xin felt that he was really not good at talking, and the same was true when he tried to coax Xiao Hei. He only said these two sentences over and over again.
He touched his pocket and took out the candy he had bought earlier, saying in a tone like he was coaxing a child: "Eat something sweet, you'll be happier."
The female colleague stared at him blankly for a while, and finally burst into laughter.
.
After sending his female colleague to the taxi, Wen Xin turned around and saw a little green creature hiding in the corner of the wall, looking around. He couldn't help laughing.
"Come." He held out his hand to the green ball.
The scale viper ran over without hesitation. After being picked up by Wen Xin, it would occasionally peek at the person's hand.
It hummed glumly.
Why do we hurt ourselves? Is it because of the rules of the human world?
It's simply sick.
After such a long delay, Heituan must be getting anxious waiting at home.
Wen Xin took a taxi, stopped at the gate of the community, and rushed back without stopping.
He hadn't taken two steps when he saw an expressionless black group in front of the iron railing.
Finally, Wen Xin returned safely, and the heart that had been stuck in his throat slowly settled down.
However, the next moment, it saw the green ball in Wen Xin's arms, and its eyes immediately became sharp.
This is not the place to talk, Wen Xin picked up Heituan and said softly: "Xiaohei, let's talk when we get back."
The house was no different from when Wen Xin went out in the morning. After all, Hei Tuan was not a real cat and would not destroy the house.
As soon as he turned on the light, he heard a deafening roar from behind him.
The black group immediately noticed the bandage wrapped around Wen Xin's hand, and the green group came back with the young man, so it was hard for it not to think about the connection between the two.
The rage that had been suppressed all this time finally erupted, its murderous intent so intense that it took on a solid form: "Do you really want to die?"
The scale viper entered Wen Xin's home as it wished, but was not as happy as it had imagined because the other party's hand was injured.
It did not hold back, sneered, and retorted: "This is the home of humans, not your territory! You can stay here, why can't I?"
"Because you are poisonous!"
The black ball roared and threw the green ball to the ground, and the two balls immediately wrestled into a ball.
With Wen Xin watching, they couldn't really kill him, but the noise they made was extremely intense.
The black group roared: "Just a small drop of your venom can kill hundreds of humans. The human body can't stand your torture at all!"
"What about you?" The green group was also angry, "You also hurt him when you were not sober. Your powerful strength can also kill weak humans instantly!"
"I'll control it!"
"So can I!"
"You can't!"
"Don't underestimate snakes. Why can't I do the same?!"
The black ball's eyes suddenly became extremely gloomy, and it used its claws to press the green ball to the ground.
The green ball's eyes were red, and after struggling in vain, it still stared at it fiercely, showing its fangs, and its face vaguely showed the ferocity and hysteria of a mutant.
"You, can't." The black group said word by word.
It took a breath and finally revealed its deepest fear: "The 72nd mutant killing test, do you remember what you did?!"
The green group was stunned for a moment, the ferocity in his eyes disappeared, and was replaced by indescribable panic.
That happened while they were still trapped in the base.
As a mutant, the black group could not watch other mutants' experiments. But it developed its own consciousness earlier and eavesdropped on the conversations of the researchers.
It still remembers the sighs and fear on those people's faces.
"Even though only five of them could survive, No. 7 bit all the remaining mutants to death. Tsk tsk, they are so ferocious, can they be tamed?"
"I saw that sheep-transformed mutant crying, but I felt so sorry for Jin'er, but he still died in the end."
"If you can't tame it, then you can't tame it. There are plenty of test subjects anyway... What's wrong? What happened up front?!"
"It's number seven. It's awake and mad, biting people! Damn it, someone come and help!"
These mutants, which are genetically modified from one or more animals, will more or less inherit some of the nature of the original genes.
But snakes are too ferocious and difficult to tame.
Perhaps the Green Group could suppress its nature, but the Black Group couldn't afford to take the risk of that tiny to nonexistent possibility.
Staring at the green group's trembling face, the black group lowered his eyes and warned him for the last time: "Get lost."
It took a step back.
The green ball trembled, and finally stood up in a daze, and turned the doorknob of the room with his long tail.
Wen Xin didn't have time to stop it, so it ran away.
His outstretched hand froze in mid-air. He deeply felt the inconvenience brought about by the language barrier. Otherwise, he would not have watched the two of them quarreling and fighting with a dazed look on his face the whole time.
The current situation seems to be that the Green Team lost the argument and ran out in anger.
Wen Xin rubbed his forehead and didn't chase after him rashly.
The two groups have too many conflicts, and they will continue to quarrel after they get back together, forming a vicious cycle.
But some things may not be what both parties think.
Wen Xin stretched out his palm in front of Hei Tuan: "Xiao Hei, look."
Heituan stared at his bandage, his irritability rising again, and he wagged his tail unhappily.
Finally, she lowered her head and rubbed his wrist gently: "Meow?" Does it hurt?
Wen Xin shook his head.
He knew that Xiao Hei could understand him, so he told him what happened today.
"Someone wanted to hurt me, but it saved me."
The black ball was a little surprised, and the speed of its tail swinging decreased visibly.
"I know you don't like it to be close to me, and you don't want me to bring it back because you're worried about me."
Wen Xin did not try to hide his weakness. He openly admitted that he was weak: "After all, compared to you, I am too easily hurt."
"But Xiao Hei, I can't blame others for their strength just because of my own weakness."
The black group was slightly startled.
The young man's eyes were firm as he spoke. Although his body seemed so weak in the eyes of the mutants, there was an unshakable power in his eyes.
"What's more, it has not harmed me so far and has saved my life."
He rubbed the black ball's head again: "I want to repay it and take it home. If you are worried, I will do morning exercises starting tomorrow to make myself stronger. Do you think it's okay?"
Wen Xin did not make a direct decision, nor did he use an unquestionable tone, because the Black Group was a family member to him, a part of this family.
Wen Xin, as the younger brother, didn’t know how sad Dabao would be after the family had a second child.
But he felt that his brother Wen Jinfeng must be resentful of him because he had ignored him for so many years.
He didn't want the black group and the green group to be like this.
Heituan had a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he still didn't give in and turned away.
Wen Xin paused and couldn't help sighing.
It wasn't until late that night that it started raining again.
