Chapter 7 This World is Really Fantastic
Episode 07 This World is Really Fantasy
I stared at "Fu Lin" who was witnessing my true face at the door.
Before either of them even started talking, the murderous intent had already sprouted in my heart.
Now that things have come to this, the only thing we can do is kill him to silence him.
In fact, from the moment I was pushed off the platform, I realized that it was a life-and-death situation between Shang Hexing and me. But, in the end, I was still soft-hearted, thinking that if I could give myself a way out and take a step back, I would have a broader horizon.
Unexpectedly, the saying "If you don't remove the grass at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze" came true.
I never thought that one day I would be so embarrassed.
The once glorious and majestic image was ruined by such a misstep.
The sage said, be cautious when alone.
Even when you are alone, you should be cautious, be a perfect person and not indulge yourself. (bushi)
If I had known that I would go to college, I would have bought dark silk pajamas to wear.
I really regret it!
My fingers tapped the door, and I imagined myself telling him "No Trespassing" with a cold expression. At the same time, I refused to give in, and asked in an awkward and vigilant manner, "Fu Lin, why are you here?"
This damn decency and social etiquette is going to hold me back one day.
Shanghexing's version of Fu Lin seemed to have not yet come out of the reality just now. He was a beat slower and said, "When I met Xiaozhuang, I met Uncle Li. He invited me to dinner to thank me for saving you the day before yesterday."
He lifted up what he had brought and showed it to me, "I brought you dinner. Uncle Li asked me to go upstairs first, and he ran to buy you some fruit."
Even though I followed his words and smelled my spicy crayfish, I didn't glance down.
“…”
My father is not your Uncle Li.
No getting so close!
If I were a bird, I would peck him many times and drive him away.
"If I really want to thank you, I should eat out. My house is so messy, how can I entertain guests?" I quickly found some excuses to keep him out. I changed my clothes quickly.
Anyway, I won’t let Shang Hexing set foot in my house.
You know, those beloved stickers and handmade puppets in my room haven’t been put away yet!
One cannot step into the same river twice.
I can't afford to be embarrassed a second time.
Shang Hexing didn't have any objection, he just stood at the door like a wooden stake, not moving at all. I guess he was persuaded by my talkative father. He had wanted to leave for a long time, but he agreed because of Fu Lin's personality?
Just as I was about to close the door, the elevator door bell rang not far away, and my dad's people came out first, looking at "Fu Lin" standing at the door, "Hey, why haven't you gone in yet?"
Without waiting for my response, my dad looked at me helplessly with the eyes of an ignorant child, "Azhi, how could you let the guests wait at the door?"
"…I……"
Before I could say anything, my father, who talked a lot but acted quickly, immediately pushed Shanghe Xinghe and me into the house. I seized the opportunity and immediately approached my dad and complained quietly, "Dad, have you ever thought that the image of your son, me, would be damaged?"
My dad took a quick look at my pajamas and asked curiously, "Where did you get that image? What image?"
“…”
I found that after living with my father for 20 years, there was no affection or tacit understanding between us.
After passing the entrance, my father enthusiastically took the things from "Fu Lin".
He was going to arrange the food and asked me to entertain Shang Hexing in the living room.
Then I have to prepare the strychnine, alkali, arsenic and phosphorus that I have collected for many years.
Even though I was filled with all sorts of vicious and dark thoughts, I asked, "Would you like some crispy apples?"
When I didn't hear him say no, I used a knife to start cutting rabbit-shaped apple chunks.
In my peripheral vision, Shang Hexing was sitting on a single sofa, seemingly surveying the surrounding situation.
I'm not afraid that he might suddenly explode and turn into a murderer.
Because my father is a martial artist, and senior government officials in Anubis are allowed to carry guns like the police, and any application will be approved. We have two loaded guns in our house. Furthermore, when I opened the door and saw him, I didn't see that he was disguised, and there were few places from head to toe where he could hide a sharp weapon.
It is obvious that he is not here to kill and silence people.
However, it made me feel a little weird and uncomfortable that he was so quiet, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
Just as I was arranging the little rabbit apples on the plate, I noticed that Shang Hexing was staring at the family portrait in our living room.
In that heartwarming photo, I was six years old, smiling broadly, sitting close to my parents on the swing. The background is a sun-drenched yard, warm and happy.
“…”
That was a photo taken in a photo studio.
Among more than thirty photos, this one is the most natural.
At that time, the three of us had our faces stiff from taking so many photos, and we felt like our hands and feet were not our own. We were completely like toys in the hands of the photographer.
Anyway, from then on we just took photos ourselves without hiring a photo studio.
After only two seconds of recollection, the memory came back to my mind with a painful feeling.
On the other hand, Shang Hexing was sitting on a single sofa, with a look of melancholy in his eyes, which was completely different from his usual indifference.
His setting in the comics flashed through my mind——
He is a child living with a single mother.
His father died very early, and his mother was a weak and sensitive person, so she could not provide him with stable emotional support. Therefore, when young Shang Hexing was bullied for not having a father, he never complained to his mother.
Perhaps, Shang Hexing is a person who longs for family warmth.
My eyes flickered.
So, I suddenly had another idea - "By the way, it has been hinted many times in the comics that Shang Hexing never regards NPCs as human beings, so he is so cold. If I use the sincerity and warmth of the human world to influence his cold heart--".
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I happened to catch a glimpse of a faint sneer on Shang Hexing's lips, which was both sarcastic and disdainful.
The bad idea I just had disappeared in an instant.
This person is the snake in the farmer’s arms, the Zhongshan wolf rescued by Dongguo.
If you really want to get close to him in this way, you are either stupid or crazy.
"Do you need anything from me?" I asked.
I don't believe that he and my dad would meet so simply.
My dad’s range of activities is so narrow.
"Xiao Zhuang said that you asked for leave." Shang Hexing put on Fu Lin's serious face again and tentatively said, "It was because of illness. But you look more energetic than I thought?"
“…I’ve had a rest.” I explained dryly.
"Fu Lin" didn't play Tai Chi with me, and quickly said: "I mainly want to tell you that someone met Shang Hexing on the street near the wastewater plant."
I was suddenly shocked.
Because in my opinion, "Shanghe Star" has either disappeared or been controlled. This is why "Fu Lin" walks around so confidently.
Now there is a third possibility - he escaped.
What is even more puzzling is that he did not seek support or help from anyone on our side.
This is completely different from the Fu Lin I imagined, who unconditionally trusts others anytime and anywhere. He can even tell others about the setting of the world, so why doesn't he dare to talk about the body swap?
Afraid of retaliation?
If he is afraid of revenge, he is not an orthodox comic protagonist.
"What do you mean?" I demanded.
"Fu Lin" directly showed me the video in his mobile phone - a light-haired young man wearing Shang Hexing's black sweatshirt and a familiar black mask appeared on the street in the early morning of the 24th. He staggered and walked for several seconds. The person in the camera looked up and looked directly at the street surveillance not far away.
Anyone who is familiar with him can recognize his distant and cold eyes even through a mask.
"It's Shanghe Star." I confirmed, "But it's already the 26th."
Regardless of whether this is true or not, and what his purpose is, I just asked: "More than two days have passed. What are your thoughts?"
"It's possible that he was murdered." Shang Hexing lowered his eyes and said, "The remnants of the former mayor "Esser" hate this traitor deeply. That's why we can't get in touch. ”
“…”
I am silent not because of sadness, but because of disbelief.
Shang Hexing looked deeply into my eyes, as if he was grabbing my soul and examining whether I believed what he said.
He asked again, what do you think?
Although this question is simple, it is extremely vicious.
The real Shang Hexing is not a simple person.
The reason he said this was of course not because he thought that as long as he said "Shang Hexing was murdered", he would stop everyone from looking for this "Shang Hexing". From now on, he can rest assured and no longer worry about the whereabouts of "Shanghexing".
It's not that simple.
On the contrary, he would say this to doubt me.
Because from the farewell party to falling off the platform, I have always shown my care and concern for Shang Hexing. Now that I heard that he might have been murdered, I remained indifferent, which made it seem like I had been doubting "Fu Lin" and skeptical about his words from the very beginning.
However, if I were to really drop everything and look for someone just for such a far-fetched thing, I would have fallen into his trap.
I lowered my eyes, but soon raised them again and looked at him firmly. "You and he are best friends. What are you going to do? Everything is up to you. What do you want to do?"
This must start with moral kidnapping.
Let’s put him up first.
Shang Hexing was speechless, "..."
If you say you won’t look for it, then I won’t look for it.
You say you're looking for it, but you don't move, so I'll learn from you and slack off.
You said you would look for it and try hard to find it, and I will be responsible for supervising your actions.
I looked at him very carefully.
Having said that, my heart suddenly tightened. I somehow felt that he had a strange obsession with me.
Obviously, I am the most marginal figure in the protagonist team, and I am not the person who is most familiar with Fu Lin. I have even shown a clear attitude of retreat. But why is he targeting me?
Is it because I look too easy to bully?
I subconsciously wanted to find a mirror to look at my face to see if there was a message on it saying "This person is especially easy to bully"?
Just as I was watching Shang Hexing getting into trouble, my father's voice brightened up, "It's time to eat."
Shang Hexing then calmly stood up from the sofa, as if avoiding answering.
But because of this, I suddenly felt uneasy, as if something important was about to happen. I subconsciously wanted to pull him first, but my fingers just moved.
Unfortunately, he ran away.
However, I seemed to quickly discover the source of my uneasiness.
Because five minutes later, when I was working tirelessly to peel shrimps for my dad at the dinner table, I also had to peel shrimps for my "lifesaver".
“…”
This world is so mysterious.
I don't understand!
