"I'm thirsty." Che Linwan looked at Xia Mingzhi pitifully.
He just glanced at her indifferently and continued to study the strategy of a siege game.
"Can't you go get a drink of water?" She found that when she spoke to him in such a little girl's tone, he would calm down inexplicably and give her a certain amount of space to move.
But most of the time he tied her to the feet of the table while he sat on the floor with his back against the sofa playing games.
This is really a weird scene. Che Linwan had no way to convince herself that at this moment, she was imprisoned in her own home...
"Xia Mingzhi!" Although the tone was filled with anger, it still had to be the tone of a coquettish and angry little girl. She was already close to her limit, and she pressed her voice until her throat became dry and painful.
She had a more important idea in her mind, which was to find out what changes had occurred in his consciousness.
Why is it that Xia Mingzhi is clearly not angry or angry, but this original personality comes out on his own
"Xia Mingzhi..." is a children's routine. A slap must be followed by a candy, otherwise the child will hold a grudge. So she started acting coquettishly.
"It's so annoying!" Although his tone was very impatient, he still paused the game, got up and walked into the kitchen to find her a bottle of water. "Where do you keep your water?"
"in the fridge."
Hearing him ask Che Linwan this question, he suddenly felt a little more at ease. He didn't know, he didn't know anything.
"All of them?"
"right."
"Tch!" He snorted disdainfully and walked towards the refrigerator. Che Linwan didn't understand his emotions at all.
This Xia Mingzhi is a complete stranger!
"If girls drink ice water for a long time, they will go through menopause."
Clam? !
Che Linwan shook his head, thinking he heard wrongly.
"My mother said it."
"Ms. Ma Jia?"
He rolled his eyes at her, as if scolding her for her stupidity. Do you still need to ask him such a question
He walked up to her with an ice soda.
"But I want some water."
"This is not water?!" He was very impatient. But Che Linwan still had to persist, she wanted to find out where this guy's bottom line was.
"This is soda. It's a carbonated drink." Yazi doesn't seem very smart? Che Linwan decided to challenge his IQ.
"Can't quench your thirst?"
"It will cause osteoporosis."
Noticing that his expression was suppressed, he burst into laughter and said, "She talks like an old aunt."
"I'm older than you, so I have to be polite."
His expression was obviously unhappy, "You're older than me? You're older than me and you slept with me? You just deliberately eat young grass!"
Che Linwan was angry. Really angry.
Not only does the initial personality have poor IQ, but also poor emotional intelligence! He should be destroyed humanely.
So he puffed up his mouth.
"Angry?"
The initial personality is a devilish boy, but he seems to know the bottom line of reshaping his personality.
He threw her on the bed, threatened her, intimidated her, and teased her, but he never treated her lightly.
Watching her cry, he smiled happily.
"Cry a little longer! He will feel more distressed if you cry a little longer."
Che Linwan didn't understand what he meant, but he could vaguely realize that the reshaped Xia Mingzhi was conscious at this time, in a certain corner of his consciousness.
She was going to get him out.
She didn't know how she should help him get this body. But from the words of the original personality, it gradually became clear that it would be more beneficial to the original personality if he was angry.
Rule 1: Don’t piss him off.
When she started crying seriously, her eyes were red and a little swollen, but he seemed embarrassed.
Then she realized that he was still the same boy, trying to avoid responsibility and mistakes.
Teenagers already know how to be cruel, but children who grow up in a family like Xia Mingzhi will not suffer too much social pressure, and their hearts may not be that hard.
So I started begging for mercy.
When she started begging for mercy, it worked.
Rule 2: Comply with him.
Che Linwan found that he would no longer resist, curse, or rebuke him, and he would calm down.
He has obviously lost control of this body for too long and is no longer used to it.
But he should be able to observe (occasionally?) what the reinvented personality is doing.
Che Linwan discovered that he hated books very much, and hated them to the utmost horror.
When she saw the Brief History of Forensic Anatomy placed beside her bed, she suddenly flew out the book with its leather seal.
He may have lost control step by step during the learning period of reshaping his personality.
In this way Dr. Smith manipulated him and drove him away.
The reshaped Xia Mingzhi personality actually appeared not long ago, but he completed all studies at the medical university, including subsequent transfers. To achieve such results shows that he studied very hard.
This is something that a primitive personality can never do.
In order to avoid those words, he could only fall into sleep, and then gradually began to be replaced by a reshaped personality.
The first thing that needs to be supplemented after taking back control is the game! Che Linwan felt a little bit dumbfounded.
At the same time, he discovered that when all his demands were met and he could do what he wanted to do without anyone constantly whispering in his ears, he could actually be quiet.
Che Linwan turned his head and said: Yes! Just angry. But I can forgive your expression.
Xia Mingzhi handed her the soda, and she took it and opened the bottle cap in front of her face and drank half of the bottle.
This seemed to satisfy him, and he sat back on the sofa.
"Can I play for a while?"
"you will not."
"..." Damn it! You don't. How difficult can a mobile game be
It turns out she really doesn't.
Archers? completely annihilated.
Hussar? completely annihilated.
infantry? The casualties were heavy.
…
"Are you mentally retarded?"
"Speak well! Respect the old and love the young."
"It depends on the enemy's lineup. It's not a set formation that can be used to the end."
Che Linwan pushed the phone away violently. trouble! troublesome.
"No more fun?" He was very proud.
very good. Just be proud. It is easy to be careless when you are complacent.
"Xiaoxia, let me ask you something."
"Don't call me Xiaoxia, I'm not that familiar with you."
"You're not familiar with me?"
very good!
The fingers that were holding the phone and operating it suddenly stopped moving.
He slowly raised his gaze and looked at her, "I don't like beating around the bush. If you don't want to be beaten by me again, don't sound like an interrogation in a crime novel. I can tell you that he is awake now. He could hear you, but he couldn't come back, so he could only plead with me not to hit you."
"real?"
"Fake. I lied to you! Bagzinga—"
Che Linwan wanted to kick him. But no. He is not a sympathetic person. Once he is attacked, he will fight back immediately. Of course, it is impossible for her to beat him.
But why would he say that.
"Can I ask you one more thing?"
"Yes. Tell me what it is? But I can't guarantee that I will tell you the truth."
"Does he like me?"
Xia Mingzhi's movements obviously paused for a long time, obviously not expecting such a problem.
"how to say… "
Che Linwan shook her head in pursuit of victory. She needed to seize the initiative in the conversation.
"I ask, you answer, quick questions and quick answers. Don't use useless descriptors." Use the same level of communication as him.
He looked at her hesitantly.
"Like it or not? Choose one."
"like."
"Appearance? Personality?"
Started thinking. It seems that the answer is not among them
"other?"
"Because you look like Xiyuan."
"Your sister?"
"right."
"Why."
"Feel."
"The same to you?"
"What."
"You also think I look like Xiyuan?"
Xia Minzhi shook his head, "It's not like that. Xiyuan doesn't dare to resist me. She has listened to me since she was a child. But this little girl doesn't have a sense of belonging."
Che Linwan really didn't mock him on purpose, "Do you still know the sense of belonging?"
Started sniffing.
"Of course, your own sister, no one knows her better than you."
It softened it a bit, but it didn't do much. It seems that knowing his sister is not something he can be proud of.
"That matter..." Che Linwan began to struggle in his mind, how to get to the truth about Xia Xiyuan's suicide attempt.
At the same time, Xia Mingzhi saw her intention in her eyes.
He crawled in front of her on all fours, raised his fist, and punched her hard. His knuckles hit her cheekbone, and he was confused.
"Don't try to control me in the same despicable way!"
What is he saying
"I didn't kill Xiyuan! No! She wanted to die herself."
"If it weren't for you and your friends..."
"She volunteered! That little watch was smashed. She voluntarily played with my friends..." His voice lowered little by little.
Xiyuan's voice rang in her mind: Save me... Brother, save me... Brother, help me... Don't... Don't let them touch me... They are so dirty... Brother...
Xia Mingzhi started smashing the sofa crazily and hitting his head on the sofa.
It was her own choice!
But she didn't know what they were going to do.
She just simply wants to fit into her brother's circle of friends and become everyone's sister. But those dirty boys didn't think so.
He realized something was wrong when they bullied her.
He tried to stop them, but they pushed him out, and even encouraged him to play with his sister... He is a scumbag!
It's scum!
He is a scumbag...
He hit his head on the ground, making a thud sound.
Che Linwan tried to get closer to him within the range of movement and put her hands under his head.
This kind of smashing method will soon come to protest from downstairs. And would give himself a concussion.
Personality reshaping occurs to prevent breakdown.
Che Linwan knew that his time was coming and he would soon retreat.
But Xia Mingzhi stood up and shook his head vigorously as if to get rid of an invisible curse.
"Xia Mingzhi—"
He burst out of the door and ran out.
Whether to call for help or to find a way to escape from the rope, Che Linwan tried both. Finally I found the nail clippers I had forgotten under the sofa cushion.
Then Hang Chi Hang Chi cut the rope with great effort.
When Bai Shoudao was asked where Xia Mingzhi had gone, the hacker with a somewhat sophisticated personality resisted for a long time and finally gave her a completely unexpected answer.
It was a single-family, unfinished villa community built by the developer, half of which had to be auctioned off due to bankruptcy and the capital chain was cut off.
There are a total of 129 villas in small buildings, with an occupancy rate of less than one-fifth. Most of the owners were creditors back then, and a small number of them were bought at judicial auctions. The price was about the same as buying a car today, but the procedure took a surprisingly long time.
Considering that Xia Mingzhi's father is from the Ministry of Justice, it is not difficult to suspect that his relatives may have bought the building here.
When the land was transferred and developed again, fish and water blended together again.
It's hard to say whether the house belongs to Xia Mingzhi's family or Tang Zu's family, but Tang Zu arranged Xia Xiyuan in it and found a live-in nurse to take care of her day and night.
The little girl has some strength, but the caregiver is even tougher. Although she is a woman, she is at least 1.8 meters tall and weighs twice as much as a normal man...
Che Linwan never expected that Xia Mingzhi would come to see Xiyuan.
When I looked for Bai Shoudao's house number, the door was open.
It was quiet inside the door.
Che Linwan hesitated for a while and then dialed Tang Zu's phone number.
"Where did you say it was?"
"Foshan Manor."
"Why did you go there?"
"Xiaoxia is inside, I mean, Xia Mingzhi."
"Ah... just wait, I'll be right over!"
"This Xia Mingzhi is... that."
"impossible."
"At least when it comes."
Che Linwan heard screaming coming from the direction of the second floor.
At first, she thought it belonged to Xiyuan, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to go in.
But the screaming continued for a while, and it was a man's voice. It's Xia Ming Zhi.
She had never heard Xia Mingzhi make such a sound.
Just like the hozen being tortured in the circus...
He immediately ran in in two steps without hesitating again.
When I went up the stairs I saw the anti-slip lock.
Xia Mingzhi rushed down from the upstairs and came face to face with her. She couldn't tell who it was with that look.
Just as he was passing her and trying to avoid her and going downstairs, his foot suddenly slipped and he rolled down.
Che Linwan hurriedly chased him downstairs and helped him up.
The tall caregiver came down the stairs with a girl on his back.
It was just the first time Che Linwan saw her.
living person.
She was skinny, but she could tell that she was originally a beautiful little girl.
The hair was shaved very short and covered up.
He was wearing a mental hospital corset, with the sleeves tied behind his back.
The eyes are out of focus, but they are searching blankly.
The nurse walked up to Xia Mingzhi step by step, "Don't you want to see her? She doesn't know you. Why are you so scared? You're still not a man."
Xia Mingzhi didn't even refute the nurse. Che Linwan is no longer sure whether the current Xia Mingzhi is an original personality or a reshaped personality.
When Che Linwan looked at Xiyuan's face, her red, rabbit-like eyes actually shed tears.
But the eyes were extremely dull, not like the eyes of a living person.
Che Linwan had seen the eyes of many dead people. Sometimes in order to extract evidence, he had to dig out the eyeballs, soak them in potion, and then push them back after the examination.
She usually kindly soaks the returned eyeballs in formalin for a while to prevent them from rotting. You can also slightly add a bit of false shine.
Eyeballs without luster are the scariest thing. Scarier than zombies in horror movies.
Xiyuan's eyes looked like that at this moment.
Xia Mingzhi grabbed her and stood up with her arms. After a few seconds, his whole body was shaking crazily, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
Then with a bang, he fell to the ground again.
"Xia Mingzhi?! Xia Mingzhi—"
When Tang Zu arrived, he sent Xia Mingzhi to the hospital.
