"Hello?"
"Uncle Shang, are you sure that if we do this, we can change history?"
Under the orange light, Uncle Shang, who was holding his mobile phone, was slightly startled, "What's wrong?"
"I followed the address you gave me to find the kid named Zhou Ping, and met a 'mysterious' person on the way..."
On the other end of the phone, Ye Fan quickly described everything that had just happened. Uncle Shang frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Remind us on behalf of the Supreme Being... Who is it?"
"have no idea."
Uncle Shang was silent for a moment, his face with remaining bloodstains seemed to be deep in thought. After a long time, he slowly spoke:
"I understand... You should continue to follow Zhou Ping, but don't act rashly. First, observe whether our existence will have any impact on history."
"good."
As Ye Fan hung up the phone, Uncle Shang sat alone in the awning boat, and his consciousness returned to the convenience store with his eyes that pierced through time.
Zhou Ping changed back into his clothes and pushed out the door of the warehouse. At this moment, the store manager Meng Xiang was yawning and walking towards him. He glanced at the clean and tidy store and nodded.
"Thank you, was everything okay last night?"
Zhou Ping glanced at Uncle Shang floating in nothingness, lowered his head, and hummed softly.
After being together for such a long time, Meng Xiang was already used to Zhou Ping's personality and waved his hand without thinking too much, "I'll change the shift. You go back and rest quickly."
Zhou Ping didn't say much, walked out of the convenience store with his bag, looked at the time, and walked straight towards home.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked a little ugly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the sudden change in Zhou Ping's face, Uncle Shang immediately asked vigilantly.
Zhou Ping looked back at the convenience store, his expressions changing one after another, and finally he sighed bitterly...
"I forgot... I forgot about borrowing money again."
"..." Uncle Shang, who was attached to Zhou Ping, asked in confusion, "What, are you short of money?"
"It's okay, actually it's not that lacking, it's just..."
Zhou Ping said halfway, as if he didn't know how to express it, he simply shook his head and walked forward without saying a word.
"Maybe we can change the topic." Uncle Shang spoke again.
"What?"
"You said before that your life was already in ruins..." Uncle Shang paused for a moment.
"So, what exactly happened four years ago?"
…
[2012]
Ye Fan's figure crossed the dim sky and landed in Taohuawu Community again.
He stared at the room where Zhou Ping was, a glimmer of light flashed deep in his eyes, and then he let out a soft sigh:
"Where are the people?"
In his field of vision, the room was only a mess on the ground and empty.
Ye Fan's brows suddenly wrinkled.
It took him less than twenty minutes to chase the "mysterious" creature from the "sea" realm. How come the family disappeared in the blink of an eye
Thinking of the sea in the house before he left, Ye Fan had a bad premonition in his heart. He jumped directly into the house through the window, his sharp eyes like an eagle's eyes scanning every corner.
Except for signs of a small-scale fight in the living room, the other rooms were normal. Judging from the placement of shoes at the door, the family should not have been kidnapped, but left on their own...
Where do they want to go
The task Uncle Shang gave him was to keep an eye on Zhou Ping. Ye Fan naturally couldn't give up. He immediately made a call:
"I'm Ye Fan, help me contact the night watch team stationed in Xijin City, and call out road surveillance as quickly as possible. I'm looking for someone..."
…
Outside Xijin City.
A black Santana was speeding on the unmanned lane.
The only remaining headlight on one side barely illuminated the dim road. As the vehicle continued to move away from the city, more and more winding turns appeared at the foot of the huge mountain shadow, and the bumps were dizzying.
"...Mom has already told your third uncle that you should stay with him for a few days and then come back to pick you up when your parents are out of the limelight."
As the bumpy mountain road shook the car, a woman with heavy makeup turned her head from the passenger side. Her face was dark with backlight. Except for her narrow eyes, Xiao Zhouping couldn't see her expression clearly, but from her tone, she seemed to be talking. Smile to yourself.
Xiao Zhouping was sitting alone in the narrow back seat of the car. The smell of low-quality second-hand smoke and old leather made him frown uncontrollably. In the darkness, he looked up at the woman and said hesitantly:
"When... did you tell him? I didn't see you on the phone."
The woman's smile seemed to freeze, and she quickly replied, "Mom sent a message saying that."
"But isn't my third uncle's house in the west of the city?"
"Your third uncle has bought a new house, don't you know?" The woman turned her head, and outside the windshield, pale car lights illuminated a winding mountain road, "But your third uncle doesn't have enough money, so he can only buy In such a remote place... you are the first child to visit his new home."
"Why are you explaining so much to him? He knows nothing!" The man who was driving was impatient.
The woman glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
Xiao Zhouping looked at the mountain road in front of him that seemed to extend to the deep hell. His scarred palms clenched uncontrollably. His small chest heaved and he suddenly said:
"If I go to my third uncle's house today, what will happen at the school? If I don't go to class tomorrow, the head teacher will call and maybe even visit my home."
This is the longest sentence Xiao Zhouping has said in the past six months.
Hearing this sentence, both men and women were stunned at the same time.
"Then... let me call the head teacher first." The woman took out her mobile phone.
"Do you know his phone number?" Xiao Zhouping asked immediately.
“…”
"Give me your phone and I'll dial for you."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then handed the phone to Xiao Zhou Ping behind her. The latter took the phone and clicked it a few times before returning it to the woman.
After a short dialing tone, the woman raised her voice and said to the other end of the phone: "Hey, Teacher Chen~ Yes, I am Zhou Ping's mother, and I just want to ask for a leave for him..."
boom! !
Before the woman finished speaking, the door of the back seat was manually unlocked and opened, and a young figure jumped out!
The howling wind poured into the car. The man was startled and slammed on the brakes.
The sharp sound of tires scraping against the ground cut through the dead silence of the deep forest. The woman who was on the phone next to her also screamed in surprise, her head almost hit the windshield, and the phone fell out of her hand!
With the inertia of the car, Xiao Zhouping's body fell heavily on the mountain road and rolled several times. His arms and knees were bruised and bloody. He just got up from the ground and rushed towards the mountain forest!
The scarlet car with its taillights stopped on the side of the road not far away. The man quickly got out of the car and ran in the direction of Xiao Zhouping while yelling!
At this time, the woman also picked up the phone with a pale face, glanced at the backend of the app, and her pupils shrank slightly.
"This little brat, he sent a message to my third brother!! Asking my third brother to call the police!!!"
Hearing the woman's scream from behind, the man's face was so ugly that he could shed tears. He quickly shuttled through the forest, relying only on the flashlight that came with his mobile phone to barely illuminate the way ahead. In the blurry light and shadow, he could barely see That young figure stumbling forward.
"Damn it! Don't let me catch you!!"
Xiao Zhouping gritted his teeth and ran as fast as he could in the dark forest. He didn't have a mobile phone or flashlight, so he could only rely on his eyesight and intuition to avoid the trees and bushes in the forest. Even so, his speed was no slower than the man behind him!
His eyes seemed to be able to see through the darkness, and he nimbly avoided most obstacles. Even though there was pain everywhere in his body, this level of pain was nothing compared to the pain he usually endured.
"Fuck you******"
"You dare to run when you step on a horse?! Don't forget that I gave birth to you!"
"The buyer I made an appointment with is already waiting on the mountain! If you fucking run away today, both I and your mother will be beaten to death by debt collectors!!"
"I have raised you to this age, and you act like a white-eyed wolf when you step on a horse?! How dare you call the police to arrest me?"
“Fucking*****”
The man saw that he could not catch up with a child and was slapped in the face by branches one after another. Endless anger surged into his heart, and countless swear words and curses spewed out of his mouth, like arrows piercing through the darkness. Xiao Zhouping's soft heart in the distance.
While Xiao Zhouping endured the pain and ran wildly, strong sorrow and sadness surged into his heart. The pain in his heart overwhelmed the scars all over his body. He had always been silent and autistic due to domestic violence. For the first time, he couldn't help but open his mouth. Howling in the darkness!
Why?
Why is this happening... He clearly did nothing wrong! Why did fate do this to him? !
He could endure being beaten and scolded, after all, they were his parents, the ones who gave birth to him... Even though they had never fulfilled their parents' responsibilities, little Zhou Ping was still conscientiously fulfilling his filial piety to his descendants. He thought that one day he would be able to be like him. Everyone else had a normal family, but they didn't expect that what they would end up with in exchange was to be abducted and trafficked by their biological parents...
Xiao Zhouping felt as if his heart had been crushed and trampled into the soil. Everything around him seemed to be gradually moving away. Running had become his instinct.
I don’t know how long I ran, but the man’s voice behind me had disappeared. Xiao Zhouping was panting violently. The wounds on his body were torn and bleeding during the fierce running, and his consciousness was a little blurry.
He kept walking along the gradually sparse trees in front of him, and finally passed through this small forest and came to another section of the winding mountain road.
At this moment, a pair of bright car lights suddenly cut through the darkness, and with a roaring sound, a dilapidated van crashed head-on into Zhou Ping, who had just walked out of the forest!
Xiao Zhouping's pupils suddenly shrank!
boom! !
There was a muffled sound, and the young figure flew in an arc in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground, motionless.
The bright headlights tore through the darkness, and the doors on both sides of the van opened. A bald man wearing a leather jacket and covered with tattoos stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Zhouping's hair, snorted, and nodded slightly.
"not dead."
"It doesn't matter if he's dead, what we want are his body parts anyway." Another man answered calmly as he lit a cigarette.
"That loser named Zhou can even deliver a piece of goods to us... If we weren't familiar with this place, we might have let this kid escape."
"Hmph, he's so useless that he sold his son to pay off his debts. What do you expect him to do well?" The man who lit the cigarette narrowed his eyes, "Load the goods and take them back... By the way, with that useless person Zhou Let me tell you, we picked this thing up ourselves, and the price... has to be reduced by another 50,000."
"okay."
…
"Going into the mountains?"
Ye Fan sat in a high-speed police car, frowning slightly.
"Yes, we have mobilized the entire Xijin city's road surveillance. Just half an hour ago, the car had left the city and entered the mountain... There is no surveillance installed on the mountain, so it is not clear where they are now." A policeman The staff member reported carefully,
"However, we have set up checkpoints on all roads in and out of the mountainous area. Once we find their traces, we will know as soon as possible."
Seeing that Ye Fan's face was a little solemn, the police officer hesitated for a moment and spoke again,
"Or, we can also mobilize all the people to search the mountain..."
"No, that's too noisy." Ye Fan immediately shook his head, "Thank you for your hard work, just leave me on the mountain road and I'll look for it myself."
The police car slowly stopped on a remote mountain road. Ye Fan, who was wearing a black coat, got out of the car alone. As the car's taillights disappeared at the end of the road, his gaze towards the mountains gradually became deeper.
"Something's wrong, this smell... is there something hidden in the mountains?"
…
In confusion, Xiao Zhouping's eyes slowly opened.
As his consciousness returned to consciousness, pain spread from all parts of his body, and the remaining blood on his face was bloodless. He raised his head with difficulty and found that he was lying on a cold metal platform.
A dazzling halo of light shone from above his head. He tried to get up, but found that his hands and feet were tightly locked. There were various tools similar to knives and scissors on the rotten wooden table next to him. The smell of disinfectant that hit his face made him My stomach twitched.
What is this place...the operating table?
Before Xiao Zhouping could recover, he heard a faint argument coming from outside the door.
"Another 50,000 yuan off?! This is not the price we agreed on at the beginning!!"
"That's right, we have sent you our son, how can you go back on your word?"
"We picked up the goods ourselves from the mountains. What does it have to do with you... Can you prove that he is the goods you sent? If our boss is kind, you won't get a penny! Take the money and get out!" "
"Brother, let's discuss it again... I'm being heavily pursued by debt collectors, so I'm counting on your money to fill the hole. You're short 50,000... Me, what should I do?"
"What you do is none of my business!"
"Hey, brother, please increase the price... My son is in good health. Really, he has never been sick since he was a child. You will definitely be able to sell it for a good price... "
“…”
Xiao Zhouping's breathing became rapid. He stared in the direction of the door and tried to break free of the shackles with his clenched hands, but he could only make a hard clicking sound.
After a long time, he closed his eyes in despair and lay flat on the operating table, his face ashen.
Stab—
The light ring above Xiao Zhouping's head suddenly went out!
The sudden darkness made Xiao Zhouping subconsciously open his eyes. He looked at the ceiling above his head, his pupils shrinking violently!
At some point, on the ceiling of this narrow room, a huge blue-gray face was slowly outlined. Those empty pale eyes stared straight at Xiao Zhouping on the operating table, and a ghostly whisper echoed. Rings:
"Heart... such a wonderful heart... a heart I have never seen before!!!"
This was the first time that Xiao Zhouping saw a monster beyond his cognition. The young man's eyes widened as he faced the face that covered the entire ceiling. He could feel an unprecedented resentment filling the room, and the surrounding temperature Rapidly lower!
But soon, he relaxed.
He glanced at the monster above his head, then at the shackles on his hands, and the knife beside him... and smiled bitterly.
The monster is indeed scary... but that's all. There seems to be no difference between being eaten by a monster and being dismantled and sold for parts.
In these years of pain and darkness, Xiao Zhouping's mind has been tempered by despair countless times. He rarely has emotional fluctuations and has lost the ability to "cry." For him, death is also a kind of relief.
Just as he slowly closed his eyes and calmly prepared to face death, a harsh sound came from the door.
"Fuck, that girl is so difficult to deal with! I finally sent her away."
"You are still bargaining with us here... If they continue to bother you, I will kill them with two bullets!"
"It is said that a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, so he took the initiative to send his own son here. This is really the first time I have seen him."
"Okay, let's get to work quickly. This guy is young, and all kinds of organs should be able to be sold at a good price... How is the buyer doing?"
"Don't worry, Brother Hu, I've already contacted the buyer."
As the door opened, four or five men walked in one after another. Two of them were wearing surgical clothes and looked like professional medical staff. Their eyes kept scanning Xiao Zhouping, greedy like evil wolves.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Zhouping, so that no one looked up at all, completely ignoring the blue-gray face on the ceiling...
"Boy, don't blame us... If you want to blame, blame your bastard parents, we just collect money to do things."
A man wearing a green medical mask walked up to Xiao Zhouping, holding a syringe in his hand, gently squeezed out a few drops of liquid, and spoke leisurely.
Another medical staff began to carefully examine the surgical instruments and containers specially used to store fresh organs.
The rest of the people were sitting casually on chairs in the corner. The man known as Brother Tiger glanced at the time and couldn't help but urge: "Okay, don't wait any longer, get started quickly."
As he finished speaking, he seemed to notice something with his peripheral vision. He raised his head and looked directly above the operating table in confusion, and then his mouth opened uncontrollably...
"What the hell!? What the hell!!"
Whoosh! !
Before the others could recover, the blue-grey face growing on the ceiling suddenly began to squirm, and several sharp spears that looked like blood vessels shot out from it, accurately piercing through everyone's bodies in an instant, and scarlet blood spurted out. !
"Only you... dare to covet my delicious food?" The face sneered, "Although the taste is a bit bad, it's just right for you to use as a pre-dinner snack."
Everyone in the room did not expect such a change at all. Those blood vessel spears nailed everyone except Xiao Zhouping to the ground or wall. As the blood vessels squirmed, the beating hearts were forcibly Pulled out of the body.
The man known as Brother Tiger opened his mouth in pain, his face dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his eyes were filled with fear!
"Strange...monster..."
The original sneer and contempt instantly turned into painful wails that resounded throughout the room. The people who had lost their hearts did not die immediately, but waved their limbs like crazy. The walls and ground were gradually soaked in scarlet, just like purgatory on earth.
The extremely bloody scene in front of him made Xiao Zhouping's pupils shrink slightly. He felt very uncomfortable with the flesh and blood and wailing that filled the room. He felt his stomach churn, but he didn't feel any sympathy at all.
Human trafficking, deliberate killing, organ trading... In the eyes of this group of people, the human body is just a tool they use to make profits. Now they deserve to be cut open and tortured.
Five beating hearts were bound by blood vessels and tied under the face of the ceiling, like a scarlet jungle,
As the blood vessels squirmed, a look of intoxication appeared on the gray-white face.
After a few seconds, the five hearts seemed to have been drained, completely dimmed. The remaining blood vessels slowly moved above Xiao Zhouping, gently rubbing his cheeks and chest, as if stroking some kind of treasure.
"In such extremely evil soil, such a pure heart can grow... It's a miracle."
Feeling the friction on his chest, Xiao Zhouping frowned slightly. He looked directly at the face above his head without saying a word.
"Why, aren't you scared?" He looked at the young but calm young man in surprise.
"Kill if you want." Xiao Zhouping said, "I'm not afraid of you, nor am I afraid of death."
Looking at Xiao Zhouping's calm eyes, the gray-white face was a little displeased. It enjoyed the whining and begging for mercy of humans when it plundered the heart. After all, this is when their hearts beat the most and are most energetic...
However, Xiao Zhouping's current calmness made this plate of delicious food less fresh and hot, and his appetite suddenly decreased.
"Aren't you afraid?" The gray-white face sneered, "Then I'll change my approach..."
After the words fell, two blood vessels instantly pierced Zhou Ping's eyeballs on the operating table. His eyes, which were originally as calm as gems, turned blood red in an instant!
Xiao Zhouping felt an unprecedented sharp pain coming from his eyes. Everything in front of him turned into blood, and then turned into darkness... This pain caused his shackled body to twist violently, and his heart began to beat at an alarming speed!
"Ahhhh!!!"
Hearing Xiao Zhouping's roar, the gray-white face suddenly burst into laughter. A huge mouth opened on the ceiling, swallowing the operating table and Xiao Zhouping, who was screaming in pain, into it!
As the gray-white face closed its mouth, the screams suddenly stopped.
boom! !
After swallowing Xiao Zhouping, countless blood vessels burst from the ceiling, directly crushing the entire operating room!
In the dark and silent mountain forest, this abandoned old building trembled violently. A blood-red body more than ten meters high struggled to stand up from it, crushing the entire building into pieces. Countless birds were frightened and flew up from the dust. !
"Hahahaha! I didn't expect that I could eat such sweet heart while hiding in this mountain... Once I digest it completely, I can easily step into the 'sea' realm! No, maybe directly 'infinite'!!"
"The night watchmen of Xijin City... I will kill you all sooner or later!!!"
As the flying dust gradually dissipated, a huge blood-colored spider was outlined in the moonlight. Its gray-white face grew on the spider's back. Countless blood-vessel-like spider threads naturally hung from the surface of the body, and hundreds of spiders were hung there. Withered heart.
At the same time, on the other side of the mountain road.
"Um?"
Hearing the loud noise in the distance, Ye Fan suddenly turned his head and narrowed his eyes in a dangerous arc, "Is it there..."
He took one step forward, and the next moment his body turned into a golden stream of light and flashed across the dim mountain, rushing towards the "mysterious" one!
Just when he was about to arrive, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly fell to the ground below. On the winding mountain road, a man and a woman were running down the mountain in embarrassment!
Of course Ye Fan knew these two people, they were Zhou Ping's parents.
"Fuck, what the hell?!"
"Monster... there is a monster in the mountains!!"
"That seems to be Brother Hu's place? What happened?!"
"What do they care about! They impounded our car and demanded 50,000 yuan... We took the money and ran away!"
The two of them didn't have a car, so they only walked less than a kilometer on the mountain road. The movement behind them naturally startled them. Before they could recover, a figure in a black coat fell from the sky. Interception in front of them.
"Where's Zhou Ping?" Ye Fanyan asked concisely.
"You... who are you?" Seeing Ye Fan falling from the sky, the man and woman were frightened. The man stuttered for a long time, but he still managed to speak fiercely, "Fuck you, you dare to block my way? Get out of here!" !”
"… hehe."
Ye Fan was too lazy to talk nonsense to them. He grabbed the collars of the two of them with both hands and turned into a stream of light and flew quickly towards the mountain!
No matter what this man and woman did to Zhou Ping, they must know Zhou Ping's whereabouts. Even if the situation is urgent now, Ye Fan cannot let them leave.
Of course, this process is not so pleasant for men and women... They were held by Ye Fan by the collar and passed a kilometer at an alarming speed. They felt that their whole bodies were about to fall apart. As soon as Ye Fan stopped, the two of them fell apart. It fell to the ground like a dead dog, as if it was about to spit out the bile.
"Is the 'mystery' of the 'Sichuan' realm..."
Ye Fan stood in front of the ruins of the old building and snorted coldly.
The blood-colored spider also noticed his aura, and roared with its gray-white face. Countless vein-like spider threads poured in overwhelmingly, tearing open and roaring in the air sharply!
Before coming to Xijin City to find Zhou Ping, Ye Fan didn't expect to fight against "Mysterious". He was wearing casual clothes and didn't even bring a straight knife. Although it was easy for him to beat a "Mysterious" in the "Sichuan" realm with his bare hands, but here It wouldn't be good to transform and make a big splash...
Ye Fan seemed to have remembered something. He reached under his coat and touched a long metal sword used for performance in his palm.
He glanced at the overwhelming blood wave, and a bright Buddha light poured into the sword, and he flicked it!
A ray of golden thread penetrated the void in an instant, and the mighty Buddha's light shattered the vascular spider threads all over the sky. As if a flash of lightning, the huge body of the bloody spider was smashed into the mountain behind, and a shrill roar resounded through the night sky!
Ye Fan just threw a performance sword casually and broke the "mysterious" forbidden ruins. As the dust settled, the metal sword had nailed the bloody spider to the cliff.
The peak pressure of "Klein" raged out from under the flying coat, shaking the entire forest and rustling. The man and woman on the side who finally managed to recover were hit head-on at extremely close range and were directly hit. Sitting there with dull eyes.
Ye Fan's eyes swept across the ruins of the old building, and he immediately noticed the five Tiger brothers who had their hearts cut open and died, but he did not see Zhou Ping...
His eyes gradually became cold.
"What about the child?"
He raised his head slightly, his eyes burning with Buddha's light stared at the bloody spider nailed to the cliff, and the terrifying pressure poured out!
The bloody spider, whose movement was restricted by the metal sword, trembled uncontrollably. Its gray-white face looked at Ye Fan in horror. An unprecedented sense of life and death crisis surged into its heart... Even when it faced the Xijin Night Watch Team before, , it has never felt like this before!
Intuition told it that the man in front of it was definitely an out-and-out monster! !
"He He… "
The bloody spider was about to say something when his body shook violently!
As its voice stopped suddenly, the gray-white face bulged violently, as if something was about to emerge from it!
puff! !
With a soft sound, a bloody palm with fragments of shackles left came out of his face, and he instantly grasped the metal sword nailed to the bloody spider's body!
At this moment, both the bloody spider himself and Ye Fan in the distance were stunned.
Ding! ! !
The crisp sound of the sword exploded out of thin air, and the stiff body of the bloody spider was cut vertically in an instant, and the fracture was extremely smooth.
The next moment, the bloody spider was cut horizontally again by its body that was divided into two, and evenly chopped into four pieces, then eight pieces, sixteen pieces, thirty-two pieces... The invisible sword energy cut crazily in the dark night, Cut this monster that has eaten hundreds of hearts into pieces!
Ye Fan felt the breath of the bloody spider, his pupils shrank slightly, and for the first time, a look of shock appeared on his face!
Countless pieces of meat fell to the ground, and the smelly blood mist filled the night sky.
A young man who was blinded by a poke, holding a sword in one hand, limped out of the bloody purgatory... Countless blood vessels that had penetrated his chest were pulled out, and the skin and flesh were torn off,
Between the bare bones of the chest, a heart like glass was beating powerfully!
