People killed the devil
The heavy snow has not stopped yet. The snow that has accumulated over time is enough to bury the blood and corpses on the ground. It can even easily swallow up a person's feet when stepped on.
Huo Chi lit a fire before dark, and they cleaned up a safe house. Most people went into the house. The current environment was not suitable for fighting, but they had to be vigilant against attacks from outsiders at all times. The outsiders were all guarding outside the house, some were sitting on the eaves, some were standing in front of the door, and some were standing on high places to watch.
Ordinary people stayed in their houses, wrapped in quilts that had not been burned, holding cold steamed buns in their hands. They fell into silence from their excited anger.
Someone has turned into a "snowman" in the wind and snow. Jiang Ziyao's clothes are very thin, with only a brown-gray coat, the corners of which are blown over his knees. He stands straight, and his hair that reaches his shoulders is covered with "white fluff", but he is not a lonely and thin person.
Huo Chi stood beside him, on the side where the wind blew, with his hand on Jiang Ziyao's shoulder, and sometimes he would brush the fallen snow off his shoulder.
"I didn't disturb you?"
Jiang Ziyao was not surprised when Zhou Zhe took the initiative to walk in front of him.
"No." Jiang Ziyao replied: "Even if you don't come to me, I will go to you to ask clearly."
"What happened between you and Mr. Wen? He is not a forgiving person."
"He used to be." Zhou Zhe said, defending Wen Liao.
"He is not like that now." Jiang Ziyao said calmly: "He hasn't left, which means he hasn't let go of this place. I guess he wants something."
"Nothing special." Zhou Zhe replied: "But I can guarantee that after tonight, he will not attack Utopia again."
Jiang Ziyao didn't beat around the bush: "What does he want you to pay?"
Zhou Zhe did not intend to hide it from Jiang Ziyao: "I will go with him tonight, and I don't know where I will go in the future."
Jiang Ziyao reminded, "I'm afraid you should know that he hates the Zhou family."
Zhou Zhe nodded, but his expression did not relax, like a stubborn old guy.
"So you have already thought about it?" Jiang Ziyao said, "Is there any chance that I can persuade you?"
Zhou Zhe shook his head: "This is the choice I made, I think you should support me."
Jiang Ziyao's eyes shone: "I will not support a fool who seeks death."
Zhou Zhe was silent for a while, and finally said: "Thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
"All of this." Zhou Zhe said, "You are a friend worth associating with, a good listener, and you have sought justice for those who died."
"So, agreeing to Wen Liao is something I have to do. This is the grudge between him and me. He is in pain, and I am the one who hurt him."
"Since you are taking the blame for your heroism, I want to ask you, how do you plan to make amends?" Jiang Ziyao said, "Persuade him to let it go? Or what? Can you continue to be with him?"
"Even if you nod, I won't believe it. You can't start over with him."
Zhou Zhe did not refute.
Jiang Ziyao continued, "How are you going to love him when his hands are stained with the blood of innocent people? The aliens he controlled killed Wang Youyou, and Wang Yu will not let him go. If they are going to fight to the death, whose side will you stand on?"
"Is she okay?" Zhou Zhe avoided the question.
"She's gone, completely gone. She will be stronger than anyone here because she doesn't have to worry about the price. She has nothing to lose." Jiang Ziyao lowered his voice: "She probably won't come back. If we meet her, it will be on her way to revenge."
After a long while, Zhou Zhe took a breath and said, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Ziyao said: "Don't torture yourself. It's not your fault that you fall in love. It's not you who is wrong, it's..."
As the person who killed Zhou Kangcheng, he never mentioned this name in front of Zhou Zhe again.
Zhou Zhe said calmly: "I should apologize to you. My father hurt you. His mistakes are unforgivable, but I can't hate him like you do. I love him. He raised me up and is a good father to me. What you did is right. It is also right for the son to pay for the father's debt."
"As for Wen Liao, I still love him. If it can prevent more casualties, I can sacrifice everything I have."
"Will you die?" Jiang Ziyao asked.
"Unless I want to." Zhou Zhe replied: "When I'm not in Utopia, I hope you can do me a favor. My sister Zhou Ting is a good girl. She is brave and kind. She has never done anything bad. I hope that my departure will stop her from being criticized."
"I can't promise you." Jiang Ziyao replied.
Zhou Zhe looked into the distance, a smile appeared on his face: "So I will try my best to live, I still have a family who needs my protection, I can't leave her alone."
"Then I look forward to the day when you come back. Take the time to explain to your teammates." Jiang Ziyao looked at the members of the first team who were so angry that their faces turned red, and then looked at where Zhou Zhe was looking.
There was a tree there, and Bian Chengsi leaned against the stump.
Zhou Ting and he were standing on a parallel line. She seemed to hesitate for a long time before she took the initiative to walk in front of Bian Chengsi. Bian Chengsi bent over and lowered his head. He knew Zhou Ting was coming but he did not move. He did not even raise his eyes, but just looked at her feet vaguely.
He was nervous, more nervous than ever before.
"I have something to say to you. I plan to wait for you at the ruins ahead. I will leave after dark, whether you will come or not." Zhou Ting finished speaking quickly. Her voice was very soft, and she left after she finished speaking.
She walked towards the ruins.
Bian Chengsi raised his head and saw only her back disappearing in the shadow of the snow.
Bian Chengsi stood in the snow for a long time, thinking about what Zhou Ting said and wandering around.
He needs to do something now, Bian Chengsi thought to himself, so he turned and walked into the house. When he passed by Jiang Ziyao, Jiang Ziyao stopped him: "Bian Chengsi, you are already a man, don't be like a coward."
Jiang Ziyao heard their conversation, but that distance was nothing for a high-level alien's hearing.
Bian Chengsi turned his head and showed an unfriendly expression for a moment. He opened his mouth but saw Huo Chi watching silently, so he swallowed his words back. He didn't want to have his head pressed in the snow in a moment, and Jiang Ziyao was not wrong. He just didn't like his guilty conscience being exposed directly.
Bian Chengsi just took a look and started moving again.
"A man who can't even open his mouth will never get the love he wants." Huo Chi said lightly.
"He rarely gets angry out of shame." Jiang Ziyao said: "Can you see any other expression on his face? People who are like ice can also get anxious and panic. Love can make a person brave or timid."
Jiang Ziyao tilted his head and asked Huo Chi: "When do you think the snow will stop?"
Huo Chi rested his head on his shoulder and put his big arms around him: "I can't stop the snow, but I can stop the cold."
He covered Jiang Ziyao with the warmth of the flames.
"Well, we are missing one person."
Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi didn't spend much time together. Suddenly, a hesitant woman came up to Jiang Ziyao and said, "She went over there with a gun. She just lost a child. I'm afraid she will do something stupid."
The woman was a little anxious: "She might hurt herself or others. She is a pitiful person."
Jiang Ziyao looked in the direction of the woman's finger and frowned.
The woman who had lost her child took a gun and went to the ruins.
Bian Chengsi also heard it. He reacted the fastest and rushed out of the snow at the speed of thunder.
Heavy snow can confuse people's vision and reduce their sense of danger.
Zhou Ting noticed the footsteps behind her. The person walked very cautiously. She was a little nervous. She didn't know how to face Bian Chengsi.
But Bian Chengsi was willing to come, Zhou Ting was very happy, her pale face showed a smile, "Bian Chengsi."
She shouted, turned her head, and then was stunned.
Zhou Ting didn't see the person she expected, but a face that was extremely angry.
"You're a damned murderer."
The woman holding the gun said that she aimed the gun at Zhou Ting and immediately pulled the trigger.
You deserve to die, you are a murderer.
The accusation pierced through the vast white snow, and the bullet was a judgment falling on her head. Zhou Ting did not move. The pain came in an instant, and her blood splattered her chin.
The woman's shooting was not accurate, and the gun she was aiming at her head ended up shooting through her neck.
Zhou Ting's body did not fall into the snow. A curved white light flashed under her and she was caught by someone.
"Zhou Ting! Just hold on a little longer!"
Someone was calling her, and Zhou Ting endured the pain and opened her eyelids to look.
Bian Chengsi's palm could not cover the gushing blood, and the red color immediately dyed the white ground. The woman who fired the gun was struck away by the lightning from his palm. When he saw this moment, his eyes instantly turned red.
"Come quickly, is there anyone here?"
"Doctor Ye!"
His roar sounded like thunder and lightning shaking the sky.
Zhou Ting finally saw Bian Chengsi's face clearly. Her body was very cold. She was ice and snow itself. She was not afraid of the cold, but her body could not move. She opened her mouth, but her throat could not stop bleeding. She tried hard to say something.
"side……"
She choked on the air and blood as she said this. She had to say it out loud. Bian Chengsi lowered his head with tears in his eyes to listen.
"Bian Chengsi."
"I'm here!" Bian Chengsi responded immediately, "I'm late, don't talk now, I'll wait until you get better, someone will come to rescue you soon, just hold on for a while!"
Bian Chengsi's hands were covered in sticky blood. He didn't know how much blood Zhou Ting had lost. He knelt on the snow. He was really scared.
Zhou Ting's eyes were out of focus.
"Zhou Ting!"
Bian Chengsi called out to her loudly.
"sorry."
Zhou Ting finally said what she wanted to say most to Bian Chengsi. She was sorry for everything she had done to Bian Chengsi, to other people, and to the Zhou family.
"The Bian family is a philistine. Stay away from the boy from that family."
Her father told her this since she was a child, and she also didn't like the boy who had freckles on his face and looked like a fool when he was a child, but she would always mention him to her brother because Bian Chengsi was too annoying and always appeared in her sight.
Dad doesn't like the Bian family, even though they are good partners on the surface. Zhou Ting knows the reason because of Mom's death. He says the Bian family is the murderer who killed Mom.
Zhou Ting can only see her mother in the photo frame. She lost her mother when she was two years old, but her life was not affected by the absence of love. Her father gave her and her brother all his care.
你可以穿碎花短裙，你可以爱漂亮，如果有男孩欺负你，你就拳头揍回去，用爸爸教过你的方法，你只要保护好自己，剩下的全都可以教给爸爸，她上学后，爸爸总是这样说，周婷也一直是这么做的。
She knew that her mother was a brave hero. On her mother's death anniversary, the Bian family would always show up on time. They would present a bouquet of flowers in gratitude and shed tears in front of the tombstone. Her mother died in a car accident, and her mother used her life to protect the little boy of the Bian family.
Uncle Bian is a kind man. When Zhou Ting grew up, she gradually realized that her mother's death was an accident. She also understood her father, so she would not mention the Bian family in front of her father.
She loves her father and was extremely proud to be the daughter of the Zhou family. So when danger came, she insisted on becoming a law enforcer, like her father and her brother. She wanted to have strength and be like Wang Yu and her companions who had experienced life and death with her.
Even in the doomsday, her father never lacked gifts, and she could change the patterns of her skirts. Her father loved her and gave her the best. But now, she discovered that the love she received was actually dirty, stained with the blood of innocent people.
There was thunder in the sky, and the flash of lightning made her seem to see the lights at a dinner party.
The young man shyly imitated the gentleman's actions and stretched out his hand towards her. Zhou Ting hated this man, but she still held his hand and wanted to get closer to him.
Bian Chengsi still owed her a dance. He invited herself to be his dance partner but was absent from the party.
Zhou Zhe repeatedly told her to say what she liked.
But brother, the person I like doesn’t like me. How could a man abandon the girl he likes and embarrass her?
Zhou Ting closed her eyes with regret.
"Please, don't fall asleep."
"It's my fault. You should stand up and beat me. You should scold me and hate me! But don't leave. Don't leave—"
"I owe you a lot, and I still owe you a dance. Please give me another chance! Please, Zhou Ting--!"
Bian Chengsi's accumulated tears fell on Zhou Ting's pale face, the rain of nature fell, and the roar of thunder and lightning in the wind shattered his hope.
"Over here!" When Jiang Ziyao realized that something was wrong, he immediately rushed over with Ye Qian. It was raining overhead, and the rain melted the snow, making the ground slippery. They should have hurried, but it was too late.
They saw figures slowly coming through the rain and stopped where they were.
Bian Chengsi took off his coat and wrapped Zhou Ting in it, then walked over with her in his arms. The rain washed away the blood on her body, and also took away her life.
He confirmed three times that her heart had stopped beating before he realized that Zhou Ting had left. There were traces of tears on his face, and he looked like a lost soul.
Jiang Ziyao did not disturb him at this time. The rain did not last long, but it was colder than snow. It froze people's hearts and crushed them again and again.
After a long while, when everyone had calmed down, Huo Chi asked, "Who will notify Zhou Zhe?"
Ye Qian replied: "I will go, this is my job."
Don't regret missing this opportunity. Time will not give people a second chance. Jiang Ziyao said this to Bian Chengsi, but even if time goes back, he, as a bystander, still can't find a solution.
If we kill the woman who fired the gun, will there be no one else to shoot? The woman's pain is real, so what reason can we have to stop her? If Zhou Ting survives successfully, will she be better?
They cannot stop people from loving each other despite the hatred between them, and love has no solution.
Jiang Ziyao could not stop Zhou Ting's death, nor could he stop Zhou Zhe from rushing towards his own death. He witnessed his father's death and buried the bodies of his relatives. This man who almost lost everything was also heading towards his own death on a snowy night, which was also the death of his beliefs.
What was Zhou Zhe thinking when he committed suicide? His revolving lantern was his harmonious family and the violin music he heard in a secluded place after leaving his business job.
They met because of Rambrandt's Nocturne. Zhou Zhe was an outstanding successor. The butterfly of fate landed on the flowers in his suit pocket, guiding him to find his own safe haven...
The heavy snow has not stopped yet, and the sound of the night wind blowing through the cracks in the wall sounds like crying.
The Zhou family was completely destroyed within one day.
People finally killed the devil, Wen Liao left with Zhou Zhe's body and his army, and Utopia was about to come to life.
