Brother...

Brother?

Who?

Zhang Qiling moved his lips slightly. He wanted to speak, but his throat hurt so much that he couldn't make a sound.

He stared indifferently at the reflection of his childhood in the jade vein for a while.

Behind him, the childish voice came again.

The childish voice sighed softly. It seemed to be very emotional, and said softly:

"Brother."

"You should have been the lonely eagle on Changbai Mountain, the snow falling in front of the bronze gate, and the flower that never withers in the Canghaihua."

"It was the Zhang family that made you what you are now."

"Have you ever hated yourself?"

"Cold, rigid, ignorant of the world, and even unable to understand other people's jokes... Unable to develop normal interpersonal relationships, always alone."

"Life is long, lonely and boring."

"Brother, if you are given another chance to choose... Will you regret it in this life?"

"Do you still want to work for the Zhang family?"

The voice coming from behind him was not hurried, and did not seem to have any malice, but just asked him softly.

The voice was childish, with a little hoarseness unique to children, innocent, and very nice-

It was so nice that it made people lose any defense.

Zhang Qiling only felt a pain in his arm, his brain was dizzy, and his eyelids began to feel heavy.

Does he regret it?

Does he want to work for the Zhang family?

He chose this path himself. Has he ever regretted it?

After thinking about the question in the voice for a long time, he suddenly opened his narrow eyes, and a cold light passed through them.

No.

It shouldn't be like this.

It's just a hypnosis.

How could he be fooled?

He was conscious, but rather than saying that he was hypnotized by the other party, it would be better to say that his body had reached its limit.

"Who is it..."

His pale and dry lips moved slightly.

He uttered a few words with force.

"You don't remember me either?"

The voice behind him was getting closer and closer.

Almost close to his ear, he laughed softly.

The voice was very gentle, and continued:

"It's okay. It's been so long, it's normal that you don't remember me."

"But... I remember you, always remember."

"You are the one, my substitute."

"Although I slept in the stone box for a long, long time, the time in the stone box seemed to never pass. I remained in the state of being cut out from my mother's womb, and I only felt cold. After gradually regaining consciousness, I counted the long and boring time."

"In terms of the time you were born and the time I took you out of the stone box... I wouldn't feel strange to call you brother. Right?"

"..."

The little brother's narrow eyes were drooping, no emotion could be seen, and he didn't speak.

The dead baby seemed to have no entity, and never appeared in front of him, but the voice came from all directions of the jade vein.

"When the stone box was opened, the effect of the three thousand year old corpse-eating pill had just worn off."

The dead baby said calmly:

"So, something unexpected happened to my body. Although I was conscious, my body fell into a deep sleep again."

"I originally thought that the Zhang family was going to give up on me. But it doesn't matter. I've lived long enough."

"But when they put me into the jade vein, I saw you through the jade vein."

"We are both babies."

"I was stuffed into a small box since I was born."

"And you have been living in the sun as me since you were born. The difference is that you are held in their hands."

"I don't feel jealous, I just feel sympathy."

"Humans are really complicated creatures."

The dead baby sighed and said:

"When they saw me, they couldn't laugh at all. But there was a look of sadness in their eyes. "They were full of fear, but also hope and smiles."

"When they saw you, they smiled happily... But I could see that there was no smile in their eyes, only cunning, full of calculation and coldness."

"A substitute is just a substitute after all."

"You are my substitute, and I am the substitute for the person who took me to the grave."

"In the final analysis, we have the same fate."

"Over the years, I have stayed in the jade vein, and the jade vein is my nutrition."

"I can know everything through the jade vein that stretches hundreds of miles underground. I know that you were exposed later and had a hard life."

"I also know that the Zhang family fell in a few years, and only you were left."

"I thought you would not come back, until I heard the villagers say through the jade vein that day... You were on the show, and you have someone who treats you very well again, and you will come back here together."

That voiceThe sound has been very calm, but when it comes to this, the tone suddenly rises slightly, and it says:

"But we should have the same fate."

"We are like monsters, cold and boring, cold-blooded and scary. Will anyone really like us?"

"Will anyone really like you?"

"Forget it, he must be lying to you."

The dead baby said: "I know you like him too, but humans are such hypocritical creatures. Does he really like you? No, he is just using you."

"Otherwise, why did he let you go to Siguniang Mountain and come to Zhang's Ancient Building?"

"He is so selfish and treats you like this."

The dead baby's tone reveals a trace of undetectable temptation, and it says:

"Betrayal and abandonment are human nature."

"So... I'll help you kill him."

"I'll help you get rid of him and let him stay in Zhang's Ancient Building forever. Accompany you forever in an alternative way. Okay?"

"You just need to watch it all."

The voice has not fallen.

The jade veins around tightened again.

The black gold ancient knife made a "clicking" sound and pierced deeply into the jade veins, leaving the last bit of space for the owner, and also showed a slight bend with difficulty.

No.

Ye...

Ran...

Zhang Qiling was close to the jade veins behind and in front of him, and his arms dropped gently and clenched his palms.

The cold sweat on his forehead stained the broken hair, which was messy and stuck to his eyes. He lowered his thick long eyelashes, and his heart was surging.

"Do you have fantasies about him?"

The dead baby laughed, as if he was not surprised:

"Then let's make a bet, okay?"

"Sometimes humans don't really fall in love with a person, maybe they just need someone to stand by them and support everything for them."

"This person can be you or someone else."

"It doesn't matter who it is."

"But you are my substitute - I don't want to see the fate of being abandoned again."

The ghost baby said:

"If you don't believe me, I will prove it to you - oh?"

There was a little surprise in the voice, it said:

"They actually came in."

The young man was silent.

Cold sweat dripped along his forehead and chin, and he raised his palm calmly and grasped the black gold ancient knife that was inserted horizontally in the jade vein.
