Chapter 28 Civilized Sinner 28
He actually never thought about destroying the world. He just wanted to make a little money, a little more, a little more, and a little more. Everything that happened later was really an accident. :)
Yan Qiusi had a good-looking appearance, and he also cherished the good looks given by his mother. With a little effort, he became a young, promising and handsome entrepreneur on the Internet and was highly sought after.
He is capable, good at making use of everything, and has a smooth life, but these are not what he likes.
He is extremely greedy and his desires are insatiable. Ordinary money transactions can no longer satisfy him. He wants to create a huge storm to stimulate his numb nerves.
Yan Qiusi appears to be an entrepreneur who cares about charity, but secretly he deceives a group of wealthy and powerful people who fantasize about immortality and starts an experiment on immortality.
In fact, he doesn't care about fame or immortality. He is a complete fraud and money-seeking lecher. His purpose in proposing the immortality experiment from the beginning was to make a quick buck and run away.
And at this time, the virus that was born by accident appeared.
He didn't expect that Yan Nan would actually research this kind of thing, but since it has been born, how could he not make good use of it.
Seven years ago, the first year of the disaster.
In the dim hall.
It was not yet late, but the heavy and ornate curtains on all sides had been drawn, blocking out the sunlight.
Only a few small lights were turned on in the hall. Under the dim light, the exquisite furnishings were low-key and inconspicuous. Men and women were walking around in it, and everyone here was wearing a mask and hiding their heads and tails.
Apart from the strange light, everything in the hall was no different from any other banquet. Exquisite meals were placed on silver plates and waiters in black suits were walking around. Everything was normal, except that all the guests were inattentive to the exquisite decoration.
At this moment there was a little commotion, and then the chaos spread quickly like an epidemic.
But the chaos was silent, with only the sound of footsteps echoing slowly.
The waiter quietly left, and all the masked guests looked forward at the same time. At the end of the curved stairs on both sides, a man in black clothes and a strange mask appeared there, carrying a box.
"Everyone." He raised his arms high to both sides, his voice inspiring, "The 'it' we have been looking forward to and waiting for is finally going to witness its birth!"
There was total silence in the audience; everyone just stared at the stage in a daze, their movements unchanged.
The man was not panicked. He seemed to chuckle under the mask. Then he looked to the side. Then the curtain behind him opened to both sides, revealing his figure on a huge screen.
The screen showed the results of an experiment on 'guinea pigs'. After the video was played, the curtain fell and the man stood on the platform again and introduced to everyone, "What we just used is the effect of our latest version of the virus drug, but it is not stable yet. But as long as the research and development organization continues to overcome difficulties and solve this problem——"
The man stopped talking. Although he was wearing a mask, his face seemed to have an exaggerated smile. He raised one arm high and said in a calm voice, "By then, immortality will be within our reach. What will the power of the world mean to us? We will become a new kind of human being."
After a night of revelry, someone woke up to find that the device containing the virus medicine had leaked, and everyone fell into panic.
Everyone panicked and questioned Brother Box, but the man who brought the virus was very calm. He raised his wrist to check the time and said calmly, "It's only been eight hours. We have emergency and effective blocking serum. Don't worry. To be honest, you guys really watched me stay here for a whole night. If something happened to you, would I still be able to survive?"
Everyone felt relieved and followed him to the research institute to receive the serum injection.
But these people ultimately failed to leave the institute.
Unfortunately, his good son happened to ruin everything at this time.
After resolving all of this, Yan Qiusi instructed his confidants: "Pack up your things, prepare for the destruction process, and leave here."
The virus has been leaked, and the secret of this research institute can no longer be hidden. Before leaving, he also secretly reported Yan Nan to the Hound Organization.
But it turned out to be different from what everyone expected. It was just a tiny virus, but billions of people were helpless against it.
On that day, the legendary end of the world came.
Even though Yan Qiusi had all the tricks and a huge fortune, he was powerless in the face of such a devastating disaster.
Zombies swarmed in like a tide, and Yan Qiusi's once extremely reliable bodyguards were now either dead or escaped.
Just when he was surrounded by zombies and forced to the rooftop, and his bodyguards abandoned him and fled.
Just when he had no place to retreat and decided to jump down from the tall building.
Suddenly, all the zombies that were waving their claws and fangs around stopped moving, and the flow of time froze.
He didn't understand what was going on. He looked around blankly. There was no one else around except the zombies. At this moment, a mysterious voice suddenly appeared in his ears, "Do you want to live?"
Yan Qiusi was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the zombie that was less than half a meter away from him and retorted, "Actually, I didn't think much about it. I just don't want to become such an ugly thing in the future."
"Whether you have thought about it or not." The mysterious voice was choked by him, but he said coldly, "Now you have to think about it."
After saying that, a black aura appeared out of thin air. Before he could react, the black aura wrapped in a strange force and forcibly squeezed into Yan Qiusi's body. The mysterious black aura entered Yan Qiusi's mind and bumped around. After a long time, it uttered a laugh, "What a dirty soul."
The entry of the black mass brought him a burst of intense pain. Yan Qiusi covered his head and yelled, "What the hell! Get out! Get out!"
Yan Qiusi felt as if his whole body was run over by a car several times.
He rolled on the ground in pain, scratching his body with his fingers, as if he could get the inexplicable thing out by doing so.
The mysterious black group watched his futile struggle coldly, neither helping nor attempting to speak out to stop him.
After a while, Yan Qiusi finally waited until the pain in his body gradually subsided. He lay on the ground, his eyes dull and he was gasping for breath. His whole body was wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
At this time, the mysterious system quietly appeared again and asked calmly, "Now you can calm down and have a good chat, right?"
Yan Qiusi turned his head and closed his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Heituan ignored his actions and continued to speak, "I understand you. I know the mentality of people like you very well."
"He thinks he's smart, has a vague bottom line, and is above most of his peers. It's fun to manipulate people's hearts and turn the tide."
"But you didn't expect that a small accident could cause such a big impact. Billions of lives were exterminated because of your actions. You are really amazing."
"The villain Yan Qiusi."
What the hell? The man lying on the ground didn't understand his last words, but immediately afterwards, a memory was forced into his brain by the black mass, and there was another burst of severe pain. When the pain subsided, Yan Qiusi found that there was an extra novel in his brain.
He closed his eyes and the things in his mind began to read automatically.
This is an ordinary doomsday upgrade flow. The protagonist of the story was just an elementary school student with a harmonious and happy family before the doomsday suddenly came. One day, the zombie virus broke out, and he awakened his superpowers in the crisis, but he had to take action against his parents who had turned into zombies in order to protect himself. After that, he was alone in the chaotic doomsday, struggling to survive and growing up.
Because the novel appeared directly in his mind, the entire plot was imprinted in Yan Qiusi's mind in just a few seconds. In his view, this was just an ordinary crappy online novel, nothing special at all, if the villain who was defeated by the protagonist in the end was not called Yan Qiusi.
"So? What do you want to tell me?" Yan Qiusi slowly opened his eyes and sat up, looking in the direction of the mysterious black group with a pair of sharp eyes: "Tell me everything I have had in the past few decades? But it's just a few brief mentions in the novel. My life is completely just to serve a novel. Everything I am proud of is just the insignificant background of this villain role?"
"No." The mysterious black group refuted him succinctly, "I have no intention of discussing this philosophical proposition of life and existence with you for the time being. I tell you this only to facilitate the implementation of my next plan."
"I haven't agreed to cooperate with you yet." Yan Qiusi pouted unhappily, but immediately another burst of severe pain exploded from his mind. He screamed and lay back down.
Yan Qiusi was forced to shut up, but the mysterious black group continued to speak calmly, as if it was not the one who had just used violence to suppress the situation.
"You have done too many evil things. You are burdened with so many sins. The will of heaven is always keeping a close eye on you. This kind of attention is not conducive to the implementation of my plan."
The will of heaven? Yan Qiusi lay on his side on the ground and thought to himself. He could not understand this kind of detached thing. But after hearing what the black group said, he immediately felt a terrifying gaze projected on him, but not long after, the gaze quietly left.
“不過好在這裏就有個現成背鍋的。”黑團的聲音又響起，“正好我這還有一點可用的道具，你瞧，只要做出一點點改變，你的命運就天翻地覆了。”
“別再想着可以脫離我的掌控，你已經被我綁定，除非死亡，否則別想可以從我手上逃掉。”
話音剛落，宴秋嗣腦子裏的書籍又開始自行翻動起來，一頁頁密密麻麻的文字上，所有屬于宴秋嗣存在痕跡，統統都被另一個名字給取代了。
——宴南。
——
【好了，你的麻煩我已經替你解決，作為交換，你現在得以完成我的任務為第一目标。】
【什，什麽任務？】宴秋嗣還不太适應這種直接在腦海中發起對話的方式。
【你現在還沒必要知道，照我說的辦就行了，而且現在時候還早，我們現在只需要等待——獵物的出場。】
……
六年前。
在一片破舊的廢墟之中，宴南睜開眼來，他從地上爬起來。
冷風從破爛的牆洞裏灌進來，身上涼飕飕的，他下意識打了個冷戰，低頭一看，他身上沒有傷口，衣服卻破破爛爛跟破布條似的挂着的。
這是哪裏，他一時間想不起來昏迷前發生了什麽，說來他也真是幸運，一個人在危機四伏的末日裏昏迷，居然還能再次醒來，沒有面臨被喪屍分食的命運。
突然，一聲撕嚎的聲音響起，随即一個黑影朝他撲了過來，他想要躲過去，身體一時間卻猛地僵住了。
汗水從額頭滑下，心髒撲通撲通地亂跳，但他卻無法動彈只能眼睜睜地看着喪屍對着他張開大口。
一聲槍響，喪屍跳躍的身影停滞了一瞬，随機瞬間炸為四分五裂的碎片向四面八方射去，宴南偏過頭去躲避同時擡手掩住面孔。
一陣腳步聲從身後傳來。
“你還好吧。”
他放下手擡起頭，眼前是一個面容普通卻氣息危險的男子正抱着槍問他。
“我？”
“對，我是梅泰，讓我先給你檢查一下身體吧。”男子很有禮貌地自我介紹，開口時聲音有種異于常人的安定感。
“啊，好。”宴南有些渾渾噩噩地應道。
男人梅泰是末日裏數一數二的強大異能者，他實力強大，且古道熱腸，為了團結人類一起對抗喪屍，他正在計劃籌備建立一座堅固強大的基地堡壘。
如今基地已經隐隐顯出雛形來，在确定宴南的确沒有感染病毒，而且還是十分厲害的科學家以後，梅泰将他帶回了基地。
但是沒過多久，梅泰就被那來路不明的黑團利用道具給取代了，神秘黑團控制住的不僅僅只有梅泰一人，它總是在四處搜尋目标，只要是有用處又好控制的，最終都會落入它手裏。
宴秋嗣一直在暗中觀察着他的行為，發現那些被他控制的大多都是實力不錯但是在那本小說中幾乎沒有什麽存在感的路人甲。他這種能力似乎對劇情人物用的話會有頗多限制，所以當時他要用宴南抹除掉宴秋嗣的痕跡，也是為了好控制吧。
五年前。
喪屍疫病爆發。
一夕之間，宴南身敗名裂，衆人聚衆抗疫要求梅泰将他驅逐處刑，但是梅泰卻力排衆議，仍舊将他好好的留在基地。只是他仍舊需要答應某些條件來平息民衆的怒火，城主給他規定了一個完成任務的期限。
一片昏暗的地牢之中。
大門開啓的聲音響起，宴南擡頭看去，一個臉籠罩在陰影之中的人朝他走了過來，但單憑着那套服飾，宴南也能認出來人是誰。
“梅泰。”
來人慢慢走出陰影。
臉上是同平日有所不同的嚴肅神情，宴南并沒有在乎這點變化，他站起身來，急切地問：“我可以離開了嗎？”
“你先聽我說。”梅泰将手一擺，“你暫時是可以出去的，但是你要知道，現在外面的民衆對你還有很大的意見。”
宴南心不在焉地點了點頭。
“你最近出于安全考慮，還是先不要出去了，就待在研究院裏。”
“我知了。”
“至于你的實驗成果，就先不要拿出來了吧。”
四年前。
腦海中的黑團突然發出一聲愉快的怪叫，它說：【終于來了。】
宴秋嗣當時不明所以，後來他才知道，那是進入宴南身體裏的奇怪靈魂第一次登入的時間。
終于等來了苦等許久的目标，但是此時神秘黑團反而突然變得不急不緩起來。
它不再整天催着宴秋嗣去做任務，也不會一言不爽就電擊警告，正常地讓宴秋嗣都有些恍恍惚惚。
一年半前。
蟄伏許久的黑團終于動手了。
那一段時間裏，宴秋嗣的身體完全是由系統在控制，具體發生了什麽，他并不清楚，但是黑團的計劃明顯就是失敗了。
但是在那一場爆炸之後，附身在宴南身上的外來者逃走了，而他的系統0136則有一半被黑團奪走，另一半和外來者一塊逃走了。
宴秋嗣再次睜開眼的時候，耳邊是從未有過的安靜，但是寄生的黑團并沒有離開他大腦，在和外來者的戰鬥之中，它同樣虧損不少最後還計劃失敗，因為能量耗盡陷入了休眠之中。
而在他休眠期間，所以由黑團控制的生物都被宴秋嗣接手了過來。
一個月前。
他透過梅泰的身體，看見那個數年如一日每天像機器人一樣重複着單調又枯燥實驗的宴南，他終于發生了變化。
而在幾天前，一直以來在腦子裏休眠的黑團也傳來了似乎快要蘇醒的動靜。
靜谧的空間內，一點一點幽綠的光在房間內閃爍。慢慢的，一團碩大的黑影在宴秋嗣的背後浮現，黑影不斷膨脹，越來越大，最後像一只巨大的氣球擠占了房間裏大部分空間才終于停止膨脹。
“好久不見。”黑團熟悉的聲音從裏邊傳出來，聽起來和以前并沒有什麽分別，但是熟悉他的宴秋嗣卻聽出了，它聲音裏強撐的虛弱和不适感。
休眠了這麽久也沒能讓它從那場爆炸中恢複過來。
不枉費他準備了如此之久。
宴秋嗣凝視着這團巨大的黑影，嘴角的笑容慢慢擴大。
該是他反擊的時候到了。
沒有人會甘願一直受人擺布，何況是他。
————
宴南想着想着就睡着了過去，夢裏恍恍惚惚搖搖晃晃，遙遠的呼喚從夢裏傳來，一開始很是微弱他想聽都聽不清，後來聲音越來越大，越來越近，越來越清晰，直到他終于聽到那聲音在說什麽——
【執行員AT0306！】他猛地擡起頭，面前是一個年輕男人的臉，男人臉上的表情有些木楞，似乎是被他突然醒來吓了一跳，舉起的手還停在半空。
宴南甩了甩腦子裏的水，重新把重要的記憶裝了進來，他看着原青下意識皺起眉毛，“你醒了。”
他的聲音疏離又冷漠，一下子又把原青從幾年前二人的關系拉回了現在。
他收回手，聲音有些僵硬，“是的。”
這時，四周牆壁突然一陣震動，灰塵撲簌簌落下來，喪屍的哀嚎此起彼伏響起。
動靜之大，像是有百八十個喪屍皇在他們頭上跳舞。
“我們該離開了。”說罷，宴南率先起身，原青緊随其後。
通道裏昏暗非常，原青注視着那道熟悉的影子，他面容平靜，除了皮膚格外蒼白以外看不出任何喝常人的區別。
但是，原青的視線往下移，宴南前胸的衣服上被破開個大洞，随着他的動作，一點蒼白的皮膚若隐若現，原青剛才就看過了，皮膚蒼白細膩，上面沒有一絲傷口，仿佛他昏迷以前看到的那觸目驚心的一幕，并沒有真實存在過一樣。
但原青知道并不是這樣的，他想了想，又開口。“宴老師。”
什麽？宴南回頭去看，眼裏浮出絲詫異來，但是他還沒來得及詢問就被打斷。
轟隆——！！
一聲巨響。
宴南驚愕擡頭——
四周的牆壁都開始破碎、崩塌、掉落。
濃煙滾滾，視線變得模糊不清，他只能看見一個隐約的人形沖了過來，接着他被一把按倒在地。
轟隆轟隆的巨響接連不斷，但是宴南的周圍一直沒有受到影響，他猜測大概是原青靠異能将掉落物都擋開了，所以他們才一直相安無事。
過了一會，坍塌終于結束，彌漫的煙塵也慢慢平息，宴南把倒在他身上的原青扶起來。
通道已經完全坍塌，周圍已經化為一片廢墟，頭頂高高的穹頂都塌了大半，灰蒙蒙的天空露出殘缺的形狀。
而在四周，密密麻麻數不清的巨型喪屍将他們團團包圍了起來。
光亮透過頭頂的縫隙照在二人身上，而那些巨型喪屍們還籠罩在昏暗之中，将身上的扭曲變形都隐藏了起來。
