Chapter 8

The sun, like glowing gingerbread, sprinkled fine icing on the windows.

Luo Binghe blinked slowly.Warm smoothness passed through his pupils, revealing a caramel-like rich color.

"Still haven't found him?" Someone whispered outside the door, "We will be in charge of questioning the person who appeared last night...I know, I really want to bring him back, this is not a private matter...Yes, please superior Believe me, there will be no slack in the hunt."

Yue Qingyuan hung up the phone, and Liu Qingge folded his arms beside him. "People have withdrawn." He said without squinting.

Yue Qingyuan pinched his eyebrows wearily. "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Liu."

"I just want to ask senior brother," Liu Qingge said coldly, "If you catch Shen Qingqiu, what should you do with it?"

Yue Qingyuan didn't answer, he seemed a little angry, and raised his voice: "He betrayed and absconded, killing innocent people indiscriminately, if these senior brothers have to cover up for him—"

He stopped him suddenly, and turned to look at Luo Binghe's door.

"Wake up." He snorted and resumed his cold expression.

Yue Qingyuan pushed open the door, and Luo Binghe's eyes fell on him instantly.Liu Qingge stopped at the door and did not get his attention at all, while Yue Qingyuan sat down on the chair used for accompanying nurses in the ward against his gaze.

The experts sent by the superiors to assist in the work began to ask questions.

"We found you by the river early this morning. You are safe now. Are you feeling well?"

Luo Binghe stared at Yue Qingyuan, "Thank you, no. Who are you?" He answered quickly, with clear thinking and perfect logic.

"We are special police officers, and my surname is Yue." Yue Qingyuan said gently, "Because of the mission, we hope to ask you a few questions and hope to cooperate."

"Hello, Police Officer Yue." Luo Binghe replied impeccably.

"Why did you appear by the river last night?" The expert adjusted the embarrassment of being ignored, and asked kindly, "We found you floating along the river."

"I don't know." Luo Binghe said.

"Do you remember the last thing you did last night?"

"I'm dead, maybe," he said flatly.

"You didn't die," said the expert with a pleasant face. "This hospital is perfect, and your condition has stabilized. Do you mean that your life was threatened at that time?"

silence.

"Is there anyone else there?"

"No." Luo Binghe had a little reaction to this question, he moved his eyes and stared at the door of the ward, "Only me." He said softly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the outside said, Captain, the analysis result is out, please take a look.

Luo Binghe's gaze has been fixed on him.Yue Qingyuan always felt that he had something to say, and sure enough when he stood up, turned around and opened the door, he heard Luo Binghe call him in that calm voice, "Captain Yue."

"What kind of sincerity do you need to join you?" The soft sunlight fell on his clear eyes, like animal pupils sprinkled with broken gold, "Our goals are the same, and I am willing to cooperate."

Liu Qingge looked outside, and suddenly said without thinking, "He is too much like Shen Qingqiu."

"Well," Yue Qingyuan asked while holding the work report, "How do you say it?"

"Cold, cruel, and contemptuous of life." Liu Qingge replied without thinking, "Good at disguising."

"The superior ordered us to keep him." Yue Qingyuan also looked outside, whispering, "They completed the search of the test site, Shen Qingqiu slaughtered the test site and fled, he may be the last valuable sample."

It's just changing from private to government-run, it's just changing the bought children into death row prisoners, into cloned and artificially bred children, through legal secret channels, for the liberation of production, the evolution of all human beings - no one will Reject this altruistic attempt, and no matter who gets it, the experiment won't stop.

"Shen Qingqiu killed everyone?" Liu Qingge raised his eyebrows, "He alone?"

"The assessment guesses that he may have used other new potential drugs," Yue Qingyuan read the report, but was suddenly interrupted by Liu Qingge:

"Come on, they want the technicians to feel at ease," he sneered, and pointed outward, "You and I don't know, how could the one outside be okay?"

In the bright and clean office area, Luo Binghe was wearing the black shirt and trousers that he was found in, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows.He cut his hair short, and the black and soft hair made him fair and handsome.Surrounded by smiling technicians, and in the distance there are background actors who are concentrating on their work, it is a joyous trick.And the young man who is the protagonist raises his head very comfortably, smiling at the men and women who are vying to get something from him.

He's freed, a bigger glass room, and they'll drain the full value before he explores the borders -- or free him again.

"He has mastered some secret principles of the operation of the test site." Yue Qingyuan said, "and passed the personality assessment, and his sympathy and empathy have soared to normal levels in the few days he came into contact with us-the rules of this society. A quick learner - so whatever he wants, it's decided to give him."

"And the higher authorities believe that being able to escape from the scene to us alive means that he is better at choosing."

"It's the same as back then." He said, sighing deeply, "Maybe it's right for Xiao Jiu to leave."

Liu Qingge was noncommittal.

"I won't let him have the chance to be the second Shen Qingqiu." He said.

Yue Qingyuan didn't answer the call.After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the young man behind the one-sided glass again, but at this moment, Luo Binghe suddenly turned his head accurately and smiled at him, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

That gaze penetrated the false curtain wall and shattered the sweetened stage, sober, sharp and purposeful.

Fooling a fierce beast is never without cost.

Why do self-confident guys never understand?

"Welcome back, Xiao Jiu." Qiu Haitang said softly, straightening his collar, "Don't point a gun at him, he won't leave me again, right?"

She was wearing a long lavender dress with billowing skirts, like a charming peach-red cloud, her hair was covered with hairpins, her nails were dyed lotus-colored, and her makeup and jewelry were all done elegantly.And he was wearing a cheap woven robe, with disheveled hair, bloodstains and wounds all over his body, and he didn't even have shoes, and his calf and ankles were covered with scratches and old scars.

Familiar... identity, familiar mode of getting along, it seems like going back in time.

She held Shen Qingqiu's arm very naturally, they were no longer young and energetic, they didn't have to fight to the death, even though they were riddled with holes, the beauty in their memories did not fade away.Maybe immortality is real, for a life too short.Shen Qingqiu did not escape.

"I have prepared a very good environment for you, and everything will be done according to your habits." Qiu Haitang said, "I heard about your previous incident. That kind of insidious and wretched place is not suitable for you, it is too low."

"It's okay," Shen Qingqiu looked around, and behind the crowd, he saw two or three faces that he had just met, the girl at the front desk of the black hotel, the waiter in the tea shop, and the taxi driver, all with expressionless faces.The atmosphere puts him at ease—almost never before—and he says, almost in a chatty tone, "It's a good match for me."

His subordinates opened a door, and Qiu Haitang pulled him in, "Forgive me for not allowing you to rest now, you may need to copy a set of escaped data..."

Before the words were finished, the light in the dark room was brightly lit, and it instantly seemed like daylight, shining into Shen Qingqiu's suddenly constricted pupils——

Most of the children crowded together in the room were seven or eight-year-old black-haired little boys. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, and some of them could even see a familiar shadow from their eyebrows and eyes.

Qiu Haitang pulled one of them over, and the child stared at them with wide, ignorant eyes, terrified, but obediently did not dare to break free.

"I think it's better to choose early, what do you think?" Qiu Haitang turned her head, the scent on her hair was as familiar as ever, "I think you should like this type quite a bit?"

"..." Shen Qingqiu was silent for a long time before answering, "No."

Qiu Haitang let out a "huh" and heard him say indifferently and ruthlessly, "The last self-righteous troublemaker hasn't died for so many years, and now I feel disgusted when I see such a person."

Qiu Haitang examined his expression, and said "Oh" in regret or doubt.Shen Qingqiu didn't move in all directions, his eyes wandered around.After a while he walked straight into the crowd and brought out a little girl with two braids.

"I've chosen." He said quietly.

Qiu Haitang was taken aback.Slowly, a smile appeared on her delicate makeup.

"It's Yingying," she looked at Shen Qingqiu, and said kindly, "I really miss her, the first time I saw her, I thought she was very similar to when I was young..."

"Indeed." Shen Qingqiu nodded. "Fate."

"Okay, here you will have extremely high authority, enough for you to do anything," Qiu Haitang smiled, her cheeks turned pink like cherry blossoms, and she was as gentle as a girl, "I only need you and me Together," she said sweetly, "let the Qiu family regain its glory."

"But I don't think it's enough." Shen Qingqiu waited for her to finish before saying, "If you want me not to betray you, you must at least give me the status that Qiu Jianluo had back then."

At a certain moment, Qiu Haitang saw the endless and bottomless desire to rule in his dark eyes.

She felt suddenly the frenzied excitement.

The desire to dominate the world that is enough to be respected, fascinated, worshiped.It occupies the minds of all experimental participants, and reproduces in every brain that can be spied on. Now, it is just an olive branch thrown to her by an infection source——

Laws are embedded in a newborn giant machine, urging production to continue in an orderly manner-and before that, it must ensure that every decision of its own will be carried out to the end.

"——You will agree," Shen Qingqiu's voice was like the last straw, falling on the balance of the decision, "You won't lose any money."

38

After a while, Qiu Haitang slowly stretched out her hand.

"...I agree." She whispered, "I will give you the same power as my brother." So give it to me, even if it would burn all the past and gamble all the future——

An old black collar lay impressively on her hand.

A familiar yet brutal, production-proof.

Shen Qingqiu brushed his hair up as usual, turned his back, exposing his thin neck, and let his hands gently stroke his throat.

——Who actually succumbed?

"Xiao Jiu," Qiu Haitang fastened the knot tightly. In a place where he couldn't see, there seemed to be a layer of mist floating in those soft, wave-like eyes. She finally couldn't help asking, "Has anyone ever said You have no heart?"

"No." Shen Qingqiu replied, "But I already have nothing."

Then he turned his face, the black collar gnawing at the blue veins on the side of his neck like a entrenched scar.Qiu Haitang's eyes followed the collar, just like when she was a little girl, she always had a way to convince her that something would always belong to her forever.

And now, this rebellious doll has finally returned. It should have its limbs ripped off, its belly cut open, its cotton heart, liver, spleen and lungs taken out to wash it clean, and a cute face, but it doesn't matter, she will sew it up, and then With each other, everything is business as usual.

But at this moment, another crazy idea just flashed across Qiu Haitang's mind:

"—I don't want him to be just a doll for me," she thought, "I want..."

They are thinking the same things as they were when they were young, with the same desires in their chests, muttering the same same things, I want more.

"I'm back." Shen Qingqiu said, the pale light illuminated the dried blood on his cheeks, drawing a brief end to this ridiculous reunion.Under this new lamp, his face was as cold and hard as porcelain, and he stood there, as if standing in the past, casting a boyish gaze on Qiu Haitang.

In those eyes, there was a fire that could burn everything.
