Chapter 249: has reached the end

The rumbling, smoke rising, and shattered glass splattered all over the place.

But surprisingly, the area involved in the explosion / breakage is not large, perhaps the solution inside that easy / explosive reactor does not cause a massive chain reaction, or perhaps there are the dead in the sky watching, the device ultimately did not hurt any of the police, military.

It just dragged Yun Li, and Yun Li tightly protected, embraced Wen Duan to the abyss by mistake ......

Yun Li's memory of more than 20 years ago was activated in that moment, and he reproduced exactly the same protective action he did more than 20 years ago.

But he did not realize that this time the smash is not a lamp sign, it is a machine that will explode ......

Smoke, finally slowly dispersed, revealing a scorched earth.

Jingfeng Zheng breathed heavily, stood up straight, and looked at all this before him.

He watched Wen Duan dripping blood beneath the Yun Li transformer, large streams of blood flowing out of Wen Duan's arteries. The flesh of Wen Duan's body was charred, and his chest was rising and falling, but it was getting weaker and weaker.

Jingfeng Zheng looked at him.

I don't know why, perhaps because such deception and betrayal is too sad and too shocking to him. This complex emotion surpasses the joy of a catastrophe finally coming to an end.

He took a breath, stepped on the scorched ground covered with scrap metal, and walked step by step until he reached the bodies of Wen Duan and Yun Li.

He looked down, at the man whose face he could no longer even recognize.

"Why."

He asked him.

The cheek muscles shrugged and tears fell, raining down on Wen Duan's face.

" Lisheng Chen , why? Ah? ...... you have no feelings?! Don't you know that your master he is not under any obligation to be so good to you? He was so tired at that time, but he still taught you every day and took care of you, and he said you were a good cop! You'll be a good cop! Lisheng Chen--why are you doing this? He deflected a knife for you! He took you back to his house when you said you didn't want to go home! He treats you like his own son, what the hell ...... are you doing ......"

By the end of his speech, Jingfeng Zheng was sobbing uncontrollably.

"When you were designing their deaths, what was your mood when you were killing ...... your master and mother who had cooked for you and accompanied you to see your doctor ......? Lisheng Chen ...... you tell me what mood you were in!!!"

Wen Duan was lying on the ground, and he was still being held tightly by Yun Li.

It was a protective pose for his companion, and in fact his master had done the same to him.

By this time, Wen Duan's consciousness had fully returned, but he was also nearly deaf to any sounds.

Jingfeng Zheng's roar seems far, far away.

Wen Duan's breathing was weak as he lay like this, he would not have died so easily, at the last second, his consciousness overtook Cuizhen Duan's brain waves and he came back to his senses - he could have dodged the explosive/explosive device that came down.

At that very second, he could have pushed Yun Li away and dodged himself.

But Yun Li clung to him, naively, trying to protect him.

So at that very second, he hesitated. He hesitated not to push Yun Li away with force to escape himself, he stared into Yun Li's eyes in that second of life and death.

In those eyes, he saw his own reflection.

Just like Yun Li, many years ago, outside the tavern, swooping in to block a falling weight for him. One teenager looks at another.

Silent eyes stare into equally silent eyes, only one is falsely heartless and one is truly heartless.

Just for a second--

Wen Duan missed his last chance to get away.

Blood, kept flowing out along the wound, he calmly accepted that all this happened, he always did not avoid life and death victory or defeat.

In his opinion, life is like a game of chess, sometimes just a thought, will be full of losses, he did not have anything to face. It's just that...

Why, at that second, did he hesitate?

He doesn't seem to know either.

He is a true "machine" trained since childhood by Cuizhen Duan, without feelings, absolutely rational, seeking immortality and the greatest truths of scientific research.

Old Zheng asked him what mood he was in when he killed his master and mother ......

What is the mood of ......?

When Dela Man was planning to kill Ping Xie Muying Zhou, he didn't seem to feel anything either. That day he just watched the fire from the big truck and he didn't feel anything.

But for some reason, he later forgot many things as he went about his day.

But I can't forget the fire.

Just like he can't forget Yun Li's eyes full of disappointment when he found out he was a black/police officer.

Wen Duan closed his eyes, he could no longer move, only his eyes could still turn, he put his last sight on Yun Li transformer.

He watched Yun Li's final move to protect him.

With what strength he had left, he stared at Yun Li and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

That blood-covered substitute, recreated man, also with the last strength, hoarsely said, "I ...... just ...... instinct ...... "

Wen Duan's pupils shrank.

For a moment, it was as if the face of the young officer who was careless about everything came back to him.

Yun Li gave him a similar answer more than twenty years ago when a lighted sign came down in a bistro.

But what is the human instinct, the human emotion ......?

He has studied for nearly forty years, from books, from laboratories, from cells, from others, hiding behind a kind and gentlemanly façade.

He sometimes feels that he has penetrated everything, and his understanding of human nature is so incisive that he can take it at will. As long as he wants to disguise as a kind of person, he can do to become that person.

Because of this, over the years, there is no shortage of men and women who have been used by him and are still devoted to him and love him to the bone, such as Yuzhu Lu.

For example, those who pass by with more blurred faces than Yuzhu Lu.

He tangled games with them, trying to feel the joy and sorrow of people in them, but at the end of the day, he couldn't even remember their names.

Is it human nature to be like this?

Then why is Yun Li's nature not like that? Why can Yun Li give a helping hand to an ordinary classmate and protect his body?

Slowly, for some reason, Wen Duan remembered many years ago, when he was still in college. Once after a run, he and Yun Li were sitting side by side in the playground with magnolias in bloom.

At that time they had just enrolled in school and were not very familiar with each other. Yun Li looked at him with a lazy glance, " Lisheng Chen, I think you are a strange person."

He was a little wary, but smiled a little, as he had long since learned to do in a normal human response, "How am I weird?"

"It feels like you're too upright, like you're faking it."

"......"

The cicadas on the trees creaked and chirped, the September wind had a languid sweet fragrance of a summer day that will thank the autumn day yet to come, and the flowers in the flowerbeds were in bright bloom, swaying silently around them.

In that awkward silence, Yun Li suddenly puffed out a laugh, he handed him a bottle of ice soda, his expression is still lazy: "Just kidding. We will be classmates in the future, in case we enter the police station is a team, there is danger still expect you to give me a shield."

"...... Why."

"What for."

"Why do you expect me to block it for you?"

Yun Li pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a not so police, very some cold thin smile: "because I look like a will be a traitor, other students are not too willing to approach me. There was no choice but to have you as the good old boy. Don't be afraid ah Lisheng Chen, I am actually quite reliable, when you are really in danger, I will also save you."

"......"

"No kidding, you believe me, ah, people, there are always feelings. Cheers."

Yun Li took a glass soda bottle and clashed it with the bottle he was holding.

Jingle Bell-

The police academy bell rang through the campus, Yun Li smothered a soda, took his school uniform and wiped his sweat, and looked back at him, his eyes bright.

"Class is over, let's go together."

Wen Duan closes his eyes.

Class is over, Lisheng Chen.

Let's go together ......

At the end, Wen Duan seems to be back after the bistro explosion/bombing -

In the hallway, a young Yun Li looks at him with a lazy smile, holding his cane.

" Lisheng Chen , my leg is injured, in a cast, you carry me back."

"...... dormitory is on the seventh floor."

"You don't want to, huh?"

"...... did not."

He eventually drew up short in front of him, revealing the broad-shouldered back of his police academy uniform.

"You come up here. I'll carry you."

He has never carried a second person from the first floor to the seventh floor in his life, even his younger brother Man Chen, who has never climbed such a high floor on his back.

Yun Li ambled behind him, her cheek pressed against his back, even through the clothing, she could feel his warmth.

At that time, the university campus, the building lights dim, green painted walls, concrete floor, one floor of the lights are still broken, he carried him, walking extra slow.

Yun Li on his back, quite tall a boy, surprisingly not very heavy, probably too thin. Wen Duan thought of his family's condition seems not very good, poor village children, to get a grant to live.

He sulked for a while and said something like, "I'll treat you to hot pot tonight, or do you want to eat the rice noodles over the bridge at your place?"

"Huh?" Yun Li seemed to be laughing behind his back, "Then you'll have to carry me downstairs again and then carry me back up again."

"...... It's okay. Think of it as exercise."

"Then I'll have the rice noodles."

"Good."

"The kind with an extra serving of meat." He seemed to think he had made a very excessive request and gloated about it, "Don't you dare leave me anywhere without paying."

Lisheng Chen laughed after hearing this.

It's just that the hallway is so dark, and he's facing the ground, and Yun Li doesn't see his smile.

No one saw his smile. His expression was always presented for various purposes, but that time no one saw it, he showed that sunken and refined look.

Unfortunately, he didn't think about why that was.

He simply said, "Good. I'll carry you there and I'll carry you back."

Yun Li got up with great joy: "You are still a very nice person ......"

That naive teenager said, "You're still a very nice person.

The teenager who is still unstained with blood said, I carry you over and will carry you back.

I'll carry you back ......

Wen Duan didn't expect that he would die not from anyone's assassination but from Yun Li's subconscious protection of him.

As if there is something most powerful in the underworld, which can protect or kill, it silently leads Wen Duan to this end, for more than twenty years. During these twenty years, Wen Duan has been seeking the true meaning of this power, just as he seeks the results of every scientific research.

In the last seconds of his life, the gentle conversations and laughter of their teenage years suddenly disappeared, as did Lisheng Chen and Yun Li, who were both cruelly missing.

All that rang in his ears were the words of Yun Li to Wen Duan that were soaked in disappointment and blood.

--

When his lark died, he had said:

"You may be able to understand when you get to the end ......"

Wen Duan is not sure if he understands or not.

The only thing he finally felt clearly was a line of warmth trickling down from the end of his own eyes ......

What is it then.

It seemed like something he had never, ever had in his life.
