Unlimited Cycles of Death: 109. Dream Back (5)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Infinite Retracing Death!
This is an anti-theft seal, it will be replaced after one hour. He had already seen how huge the gap between himself and Zhou Yue was.
Zhou Yue’s Zhou family is the most famous clan in that province and city. It is said that the family history can be traced back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. His ancestors were in jade business before, and the wealth is rich and can be called a wealthy country.
Since the Qing Dynasty did not fall behind, the Zhou family declined for a period of time due to the turmoil of the war at that time, but then the Zhou family started from scratch, trading stocks and real estate, and founded a first-class enterprise, which is famous in China and the world.
As the only child of the Zhou family’s parents, the Zhou family has placed heavy expectations on Zhou Yue. From childhood to adulthood, he has to undergo strict elite education, and he needs to learn a lot of things related to business, finance, corporate management, etc., because Sooner or later, he will take over the enterprise of his father's generation. His life has been arranged from the moment he was born, and the road has been paved, and he only needs to move forward impartially on this road and keep moving forward.
Piano is just a hobby that Zhou Yue’s relatively enlightened parents allowed him to learn. Even if Zhou Yue’s talent in music is high, even if this is Zhou Yue’s own dream, in the end, he still can’t pursue what he loves. His music cannot be a musician on his stage.
Mu Qin asked Zhou Yue about his future plans. He once thought that Zhou Yue would resist the life arranged at home, but Zhou Yue shook his head and said, "That's it."
"Don't you feel a pity?" Muqin looked at his beautiful hands disappointedly. "You should stand on the stage, sit by the piano, be illuminated by the spotlight, and win everyone's applause. This is not you. Your dream?"
Zhou Yue said: "If it is so easy to achieve, it is not a dream. It is also very good for me to take over the enterprise of my father's generation, and I can make a lot of money. I can also take you around the world!"
Zhou Yue said that he was very happy, but Mu Qin vaguely saw the gloomy future between himself and Zhou Yue.
He and Zhou Yue secretly dated for three years, and he had a detailed understanding of Zhou Yue’s family background. Zhou Yue’s parents were the kind of sleek, but in fact, very old-fashioned people. This can be seen from the fact that everything was arranged for him at birth.
There are some strange rules in their family. They do not allow Zhou Yue to communicate with ordinary classmates in the school, saying that Zhou Yue's friends must be heirs of a large family with status and status.
They don't allow Zhou Yue's grades to be lower than the top ten in the world, otherwise they will put pressure on him and find various tutoring classes until his grades improve.
They didn't allow Zhou Yue to fall in love yet, but they allowed him to have more contact with some socialites.
Mu Qin can fully see that Zhou’s parents are actually laying the foundation stone for Zhou Yue’s future, allowing him to get in touch with some people and things in the society since high school, forming a wide circle of interpersonal relationships, and waiting. In college, Zhou Yue can work in his own company for an internship. The grades and extensive contacts he established in high school will enable him to quickly gain a foothold in the company. As soon as he graduates, he can officially take over the company.
So Mu Qin can guess that the shrewd Zhou family’s parents would never allow Zhou Yue to go into inexplicable evil ways. Being with the same **** is even more laughable and generous. It will only destroy Zhou Yue’s reputation and make others. Prejudice against him has become a stain on his life path.
Zhou Yue’s future must be bright. He will sit on a world-famous large company and earn money that Mu Qin can’t make in this lifetime. He will enter the marriage palace with a noble and beautiful wealthy daughter. One or two children.
This is pretty good, it's the life that many people dream of but can't ask for.
It's just that Mu Qin, who was young and sensitive at the time, would feel unwilling to feel sad whenever he anticipated that Zhou Yue would not have his own existence in his beautiful life in the future.
He thought about fighting for it. Even if the status of the two is huge and the difference is huge, Mu Qin feels that his ability is not bad. No matter what the future, as long as Mu Qin is willing to work hard, he may be able to go to the same level as Zhou Yue. Position, standing at the same height, he will always get everything he wants.
But Muchin was scared.
He was poor and white at the time. The old uncle squandered all the money in the family. Even the house was secretly resold behind Muqin's back. Muqin had nothing, but he was still facing the high tuition fees of the university and couldn't pay him. You can't go to the same university as Zhou Yue, but if Zhou Yue is asked to help, Mu Qin is very worried that if Zhou Yue pays double the tuition, his family's life will be suspicious.
So at that stage, Muqin was always scared, and fragile, he couldn't help thinking...what if I fail in the end?
If he could not be with Zhou Yue, if they were separated, if all his efforts were lost in the end, would he have to watch Zhou Yue and himself drift away and forget about each other?
Mu Qin has always been alone, with no father or mother, no one to take care of, no relatives or friends. The young and immature Mu Qin puts all his feelings on Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue’s existence is Mu Chin's motivation to work hard to live.
If you can't get it, it's better not to have it in the first place.
So Muchin left.
Despite such a decision, now thinking about it, Muqin feels that the original decision was both sloppy and erroneous and quite timid. It was a stupid decision. Mu Qin also regretted this for many years. He shouldn't leave without saying goodbye, at least he should say to Zhou Yue.
But he just left the world where Zhou Yue existed.
Mu Qin can almost imagine how sad Zhou Yue should be. Quite different from the perfect maturity disguised on the surface, Zhou Yue is actually as fragile as Mu Qin. During the time he was with Mu Qin, Zhou Yue liked to act like a baby to Mu Qin the most.
From childhood to age, Zhou Yue basically had no room for acting like a baby. The strict tutoring and arduous schoolwork of his parents forced Zhou Yue to mature prematurely. He once told Mu Qin himself that he had seen other people’s children and their parents when he was young. Rolling coquettishly, sticky together, I am very envious. However, whenever he wanted to behave like a baby or be close to his parents, his parents' indifferent and tough attitude always made him unable to help crying secretly in his room.
So after having Mu Qin, Zhou Yue was very clingy. As long as he had the opportunity, Zhou Yue would rush over to hug Mu Qin and bury his face in Mu Qin's neck. He will find every opportunity to get close to Mu Qin, hold Mu Qin's waist, kiss Mu Qin's cheeks, lips and eyes. Once Mu Qin is bothered by him and waved him away, Zhou Yue will swing An aggrieved expression stared at Mu Qin, until Mu Qin felt soft and beckoned him to come back.
Zhou Yue’s sticky attitude was somewhat restrained at the beginning, but it became more and more intense as time passed. By the last year of high school, as long as he didn’t see Mu Qin for a moment, Zhou Yue would be very responsive to Mu Qin. Qin’s cell phone was bombarded indiscriminately, filling Mu Qin’s cell phone memory with various calls and messages.
Mu Qin is a little bit reluctant to delete every text message sent by Zhou Yue.
The infinitely gentle and beautiful Zhou Yue in his memory, the Zhou Yue who kept Mu Qin from forgetting but still dare not look for him.
Now he appeared in front of Muqin, **** and dilapidated.
He should be a nobleman living a luxurious life, enjoying the process of being surrounded by people. His road is bright and wide, so he should not appear here. This orphanage full of killing and darkness should not be here. This is where Zhou Yue should come.
"Why are you here?" That's why Mu Qin felt completely incomprehensible, "You shouldn't be here."
Zhou Yue, who had been silent for a long time, finally broke the silence. He spoke, his voice was very low and dumb, probably because he was stabbed in the neck, his voice was not very nice, but Mu Qin was still OK He heard a familiar voice... After so long after a long absence, he finally heard Zhou Yue speaking to him again.
Zhou Yue said: "I am dead, so I am here."
"Impossible!" Mu Qin couldn't believe it, he stared at the man in front of him, "Why are you dead? How could you die!"
"Death will come at any time, today, tomorrow, or even now." Zhou Yue said hoarsely, saying that he put the hand on Muqin's belly back, and seemed a little reluctant at the end, so he half kneeled. In front of Muqin, he placed his hand on Muqin's thigh and raised his head to look at Muqin's eyes. He moved like a knight who swore to the princess in front of the temple.
Mu Qin looked at him, and then was stunned. Suddenly there was some unspeakable sadness in his heart. Mu Qin realized that if Zhou Yue really died, then think about it carefully, the goodbye ten years ago... it was actually a goodbye. .
If they don’t meet again in this game.
Mu Qin felt a faint and dull pain in his chest and heart. The pain was subtle and long. The pain made Mu Qin breathless. He couldn't help but asked Zhou Yue: "How did you die?"
Zhou Yue did not answer immediately. Instead, after a long silence, he raised his head and smiled at Mu Qin, but the bandage on his face made his smile not obvious at all. He said to Mu Qin, "Before... When you disappeared, I was very anxious, I looked for you everywhere."
When Mu Qin heard this, he opened his mouth and stopped talking. He wanted to apologize to Zhou Yue. His leaving without saying goodbye back then must have made Zhou Yue very sad.
However, Zhou Yue was as good at grasping Mu Qin's mind as before. Zhou Yue gently shook his head to him: "I know you want to apologize, but you don't need it."
"On the contrary, I should be the one who apologized... In fact, I was very aware of the tremendous pressure you were under. Your family situation is not good, the economy is so urgent, and the gap between you and me makes you feel that you don’t see any hope. , I know you may want to give up, and your departure is also in my expectation."
Zhou Yue continued: "But I was too confident at the time, thinking I could find you back."
"To be honest, I was very happy when I heard that you applied for enlistment to the provincial army, because I always wanted to find a chance to get rid of the control of my parents. Enlisting is an excellent reason. So I also asked my parents I suggested that I wanted to join the army for two years. My parents did not agree at first, but I said that for my future, training in the army would make me stronger. My parents thought it made sense, so they agreed."
Hearing what Zhou Yue said, Mu Qin looked at Zhou Yue with wide eyes in surprise: "But I haven't seen you in the army."
"Of course I haven’t seen it. Originally, I really wanted to join you in the same company. I also asked a higher-level officer to help me bridge the line. But something went wrong in the middle. It seemed that my father was intervening, so I was Sent to a more advanced troop training base."
"I stayed there for two years, you know...in a place like a troop, you would be a member of the country. Unless you retire, don’t want to come out easily. I was trapped there in a hurry, every day. I was eager to find you, but there are many trainings waiting for me every day. At that time, the instructor told me that I can only approve the vacation after completing the training, so I trained very hard..."
"So your hands became like this?" Mu Qin regretted, and looked at Zhou Yue's hands distressedly. They were no longer the hands that could play the piano gracefully in memory.
"It's okay." Zhou Yue saw that Mu Qin was sad for him, and in turn comforted Mu Qin. He couldn't help but reached out and carefully touched Mu Qin's cheek, "My hands are strong. It’s not that I can’t play the piano anymore."
After that, Zhou Yue looked at Mu Qin obsessively with his only right eye, "Mu Qin, you are still as good-looking as you were before."
"Cheng Guoxu probably heard Xu Fu questioning Han Li about the murder of several children in the Iris Orphanage ten years ago by serial killers. He realized that Xu Fu was tracking down the murderer. As long as Cheng Guoxu’s character and strength are found to be Cheng Guoxu, Cheng Guoxu will undoubtedly die. Therefore, Cheng Guoxu took the risk and wanted to be strong first, taking the lead in killing Xu Fu to save himself.” Mu Qin came to this conclusion after analysis. .
After hearing this, Qiu Zijia shivered and said: "You mean Cheng Guoxu was a serial killer who abused and killed children ten years ago?"
"Although there is no direct evidence, but according to his reaction, it should be ten or nine." Mu Qin rubbed his arms, raised his head and glanced at the dim, endless raining sky.
This sudden message seemed to make Qiu Zijia difficult to digest. He stretched out his hand to hold his head: "So we have been acting with a vicious serial killer?"
"It's extremely vicious, but it's not actually counted." Mu Qin touched the black and walked under the tree. He touched Han Li's arm. Han Li's body was a little cold, and then Mu Qin touched Han Li. Sure enough, his forehead was boiling hot.
Mu Qin said: "I knew from a glance that someone like Cheng Guoxu had little courage, low self-esteem and weak, not strong enough to fight against adults, and he did not have the confidence to defeat adults, so he could only treat children Start. This kind of person is extremely inferior and extremely conceited, and his heart is evil and dirty. He dared to jump out and attack Xu Fu today, I am afraid it has exhausted all the courage of his life."
"Heh... it's ridiculous." Qiu Zijia was a little bit of a sign of a mental breakdown. He held his head and began to pull his hair. "So, indeed... each of us has a criminal record. We are all hopeless bastards, so we are sent here... This so-called killing game is punishing us? Since we are all dead, then... this is hell!? "
Mu Qin turned his head to look in Qiu Zijia's direction: "Have you committed a crime?"
"I..." Qiu Zijia paused for a moment, and finally said the truth frankly, "I killed my brother."
"Your brother?" Mu Qin was also taken aback. "Did you say that your parents adopted the one before?"
"Yes." Qiu Zijia became calm under pressure, "I forced him to commit suicide. I was only six years old at the time."
"Six years old?" Mu Qin couldn't believe it. "You can kill your brother? At your age, you probably don't even understand the meaning of the word'to death', right?"
"Yes, it's really simple." Qiu Zijia said, laughing suddenly, like a self-deprecating smile, "When I was six years old, I really didn't understand the meaning of the word'forced to death'. I was naive at the time. Terrible... the kind you can't imagine... how terrible a child's innocence is."
"Since I was conscious and learned to speak, I have had a simple dislike for my brother. The mentality at the time... I think he has taken away my parents' attention from me. Very simple mentality. Each. Children will do everything they can to get the love and attention of their parents, crying or acting coquettishly. The only child is okay, if there are brothers and sisters... you can imagine that older brothers or younger brothers, older sisters or younger sisters will all do their best to get from their parents. It takes resources and attention there, and tries to suppress its own brothers and sisters."
"This behavior is biological instinct. Even a litter of puppies will crowd and compete with each other in order to grab the bitch's milk/head. Humans and animals are not much different."
Qiu Zijia said, her voice getting lower and lower: "So, even if I was only six years old, I already had very dark thoughts in order to compete for resources. I hate my brother very much. I hope that he will get out of this family. Especially after hearing his parents occasionally mention that he is not his own, this kind of thinking is even worse."
"But I was very young at the time, and my behavior of suppressing him was also naive. Even if my parents gave him anything, I would grab it. Books, toys, school supplies, clothes and shoes for my brother, etc. , As long as my parents bring it, I will take it away. I will use or destroy these things by myself. If I don’t want them, I will return them to him like throwing garbage."
"At that time, my parents were very fond of me. This is the reason why I have always been confident. In the eyes of my parents, the adopted brother may not be better than the real me. They did not show much love and attention to my brother. They acquiesced to my unreasonable behavior towards my brother, so under the invisible connivance of my parents, my oppression of my brother became stronger."
"I arbitrarily took my brother's personal belongings, destroyed or discarded them, tore off his homework and textbooks, threw **** on him, splashed water, and smashed him with things, causing him to have wounds from morning to night. I I didn’t want to eat with him. I cried and broke the bowl as soon as he was at the table, so my brother could only eat in his own room after that. Later I was dissatisfied that his room was bigger than mine, so my parents asked me to change with him. If the room is closed, he can only live in a small small room."
"I even pushed him down the stairs. Although it was not a very high staircase, he hit his head and his face was bleeding. When my parents were about to take him to the hospital, I cried and made noise, so my parents had to guard Me, and he went to the hospital to stitch himself."
Qiu Zijia stopped here for a long time and looked at Mu Qin: "It's scary, isn't it? When I think about it, I think I was really scary at that time, how can I be so evil that it is...I can't Describe..."
"No, you are not terrible, but your parents are terrible." Muqin expressed his opinion, and he thought: "Your parents did not restrain or stop you. They used acquiescence to expand your unreasonable and even Cruel behavior. When you bully your brother, they indulge and spoil you, forgive you unconditionally and meet your requirements. This is a kind of'reward'."
"Reward?" Qiu Zijia looked at Mu Qin blankly.
Mu Qin said: "Yes, it's rewards. You were a child at the time, and your behavior was very controlled. They only need to let you form the concept of'as long as you bully your brother, you can get rewards'. Under this concept, it is right. When your behavior is shaped, you will become more and more intensified, taking pleasure in bullying your brother, and even doing more and more excessive things under the bottomless pampering of your parents."
"Is this really the case?" Qiu Zijia couldn't seem to be convinced. He seemed to be in a trance. "My brother died in the end. When I hated him more and more and insulted him, my parents made him go to boarding school. The decision. But he needs living expenses when he is boarding at school. He will go home every weekend to find his parents for living expenses. One day when he comes back on the weekend, I stole thousands of dollars from my mother’s bag and put it in his school bag. And blamed him for the theft. Then his parents scolded him and took all the money from him and drove him out of the house. He didn’t seem to want to drive outside, so he committed suicide by jumping off the building and staying with us. Upstairs."
"That was the first time I saw a **** corpse." Qiu Zijia said, "The strange thing is that I am not afraid, even today, when I saw the corpse in the stairwell, it made me feel scared. I have never had nightmares, but I always dream of my brother’s body. He has been lying in that place in my dreams, lying there blood and blood."
"I'm a selfish person, Mu Qin." Qiu Zijia laughed at herself, "I haven't reflected on it for so many years. I grew up heartlessly, squandering time and money, and turning a blind eye to the suffering of others. , Stepping on my brother’s corpse and blood to live to this day, I am such a **** person... finally has his retribution."
Mu Qin stared at Qiu Zijia for a while and said, "Qiu Zijia, I think you were scared by Xu Fu just now. You are not in a good state of mind and tend to self-destruct."
Qiu Zijia suddenly stared at Mu Qin: "Why are you so calm?"
Muqin stopped for a moment: "Calm down? I must remain calm in this state."
"Don't you think you are too calm?" Qiu Zijia yelled at Mu Qin coldly, the sound of the rain could not cover his roar, "From the beginning of this so-called'game'! From what I saw Since you start, there are not too many expressions on your face, you always analyze everything expressionlessly, without surprise or fear, you..."
Qiu Zijia looked at Mu Qin tremblingly: "Are you really that killer?"
Mu Qin was silent, staring at Qiu Zijia for a while, before repliing: "I am a soldier and have received relevant training. Calmness is normal performance. If I am as hysterical as you now, I will really be over. And the murderer is obvious. It's Xu Fu, Qiu Zijia, your mental state is really problematic... and Han Li is now having a fever. We need to find a safe place to stay and we can't keep getting wet."
"Just leave me alone." Qiu Zijia suddenly said astonishing, he lowered his head, "I am useless at all. The meaning of existence is to hold you back, so you just have to leave me behind. You are a very Excellent people are more likely to survive than me."
"Are you going to give up?" Mu Qin understood Qiu Zijia's mentality, because the current situation is really bad. Two of the six people died. The killer was Xu Fu, whose strength and stamina were far better than everyone present, plus a female teacher who had a high fever and was useless, and the key to the door was not even seen. In such a big orphanage, finding hope of escape is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Desperate emotions are perfectly normal.
That’s why Qiu Zijia said: "I give up."
"After you easily killed your brother, do you easily kill yourself?" Muqin looked at him blankly, "cowardly, even alive to go back and kneel before your brother's grave to redeem his sins? Are there none at all?"
Qiu Zijia raised her head to look at Mu Qin and couldn't help but smile: "You look cold... actually a good person."
"I only do what is necessary." Muqin said, "Your chances of survival are at least higher than that of Han Li. There is no need to rush to give up."
"So do you think you will not waste the value of this card?" Mu Qin calmly refuted Xu Fu, and also looked up and down Xu Fu, focusing on Xu Fu's limping leg. "Look at your leg, Xu Fu...Even if you use this card, the effect of the chariot cannot immediately recover your leg injury. Even if the chariot increases your physical abilities, your speed is slowing down from the injury. Under the influence, you may still be slightly inferior to the killer. This means that you are easily overtaken. Not only can you use a tank to save your life, it will even have a counterproductive effect."
"You didn't hurt my leg!" Xu Fu gritted his teeth a bit, he couldn't understand Mu Qin's thoughts, "Besides...well, even if you are right, I can't fully exploit the value of this card. , But can Qiu Zijia be able to play? This card might as well give you the best!"
"No, I can't." Mu Qin sighed and shook his head thinking of Zhou Yue, "That killer won't be fooled by me."
"Why wouldn't he be fooled by you?" Xu Fu felt that Mu Qin's persistence was weird.
Muqin knew that his words were suspicious, he thought about it, and decided to divert the topic quietly: "Now we all know that we have only two options, or take the key from the killer. , Or just take the hidden exit."
After hearing this, Xu Fu felt very puzzled: "I don't understand, how did the killer know that the key is on the second floor of the church? Does he also have a Fool's card!?"
Mu Qin thought of an excuse: "Cheng Guoxu also has a Fool's card. After you killed him, did you take his card?"
