A young man in his prime.
Just die.
Just because someone in this world needed his kidney, he was swallowed up by this dark industrial chain.
It was beautifully and meticulously made into medicine for others.
He is unwilling, he is angry, and he strongly wants revenge.
The huge resentment made him wander in this small village all day long.
It was a combination of circumstances and accidents.
He inhabited the body of Old Man Chen, who was least likely to participate in the industrial chain, and began to fight for his body from time to time to kill villagers for revenge.
From then on, the villagers began to feel that there was an extra person in the village.
Perhaps while doing farm work, Lu Hooligan No. 2 took over his body and did some things that Old Man Chen would not do.
Or perhaps the old man Chen, who was not talkative at first, suddenly became outgoing.
It's possible.
It all makes people feel like there is an extra person.
And Lu Hooligan No. 2.
Maybe, at first, I really just wanted revenge...
until--
"Dad is working hard to make money..."
Old Chen's voice rang in Cheng Ye's ears.
There must have been some changes at home, something that required money urgently.
The two of them began to have the same goals and began to participate in this criminal industry chain.
…
Cheng Ye looked into the distance.
The sparse houses in the village sit quietly there.
The village is very, very small.
Most left-behind children can only live with their grandparents.
Some even have to live on their own.
They may want to leave here day and night, get into a good university through their own efforts, go to the town to find their parents, and take their grandparents out.
However, the emergence of this industrial chain has turned this village into the origin of evil.
This weak and weak village cannot speak, but it has witnessed everything secretly.
This bloody crime, cruel thing.
But nothing can be done.
Cheng Ye lowered his eyes and said softly: "That examination sheet proves that Lu Hooligan No. 2 had just undergone a physical examination before disappearing."
"The five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation at home prove that he is still studying hard."
"Then why doesn't the exercise book belong to me?" Lu Hooligan came back at some point and suddenly interrupted with a playful smile.
"Be a gangster and don't tarnish your studies." Cheng Ye continued, "He is about to take the college entrance examination."
Everyone understood what Cheng Ye meant.
A young man who was full of hopes for the future was killed on the eve of the college entrance examination.
He could have left this backward village and sat in a white and bright university hall to study.
He had a bright and wonderful future.
"Lu Hooligan No. 2's physical examination report is very healthy."
"So he disappeared." Although Cheng Ye didn't say it out loud, he already understood with his mouth wide open.
And she holds a more important thread.
They killed someone.
The old bachelor also understood: "The reason why there are so few people in the village is because he was killed by gangster Lu in revenge. Yang Cunhua's daughter was also killed by him!"
Cheng Ye nodded, the story can be connected together, although there are still some clues missing, but that should be it.
"So the extra person is..." Cheng Ye hadn't finished speaking yet.
The old bachelor's face turned red and he said excitedly, "It's Hooligan Lu No. 2, right?"
Cheng Ye shook his head.
It's his father.
There is one more person, and the word "human" is used.
Hooligan Lu No. 2 is dead, and the one who is half-dead now is Old Man Chen.
"He's the one he replaced."
Lu Hooligan was extremely satisfied and clapped his hands: "Wow, son Chen, you are so awesome."
Cheng Ye:......
"Who is it? Tell me quickly, who is it?" the old bachelor kept asking.
Cheng Ye glanced at him, he was anxious to pass the customs.
However, my side mission will not be completed until tonight.
He also had to cover up for his father.
"Well..." Cheng Ye smiled. He didn't like a teammate who tried to destroy the entire team.
He said lazily and slowly: "...guess it."
…
Everyone dispersed.
Cheng Ye returned home peacefully.
It's foggy again.
This time the fog was thicker than last time, and it was as white as walking in the clouds.
The clammy chill enveloped Cheng Ye, scrambling to get into his body.
He couldn't see anything clearly.
He still walked towards home according to his memory.
However, the warm orange light never came on.
Cheng Ye looked into the distance in confusion and saw only a thick fog.
Where is his father?
What are you doing now?
Also, are you killing people?
…
late at night.
Cheng Ye sat in the middle of the hall until late at night, and his father didn't come back.
There is something wrong with this fog.
It took him more than an hour to get back home today.
For a while, I thought I had made a wrong move.
If he hadn't kept opening the system panel to confirm that time was passing, he would have even thought that time had paused and he had been standing still.
Perhaps, if everyone doesn't find the extra person within seven days, they will be swallowed up by this thick fog.
I don’t know how much time passed.
There were rapid footsteps outside the door.
The heavy breathing became louder and louder.
A thin figure appeared in front of Cheng Ye.
He had been waiting for him.
He wanted to make sure again that the answer was unique.
Even now all the evidence points to his father.
However, he was still worried.
Old Man Chen was soaked to the skin just like yesterday.
In his hand he held a bag of meat.
The moment Old Man Chen saw Cheng Ye, his eyes lit up.
It was like a dull bead suddenly blooming with dazzling luster at night.
Cheng Ye frowned.
why is that?
Old Chen took two steps in three steps and walked up to Cheng Ye. He raised the meat in his hand and said, "Dad bought another meat. Can dad cook it for you?"
A faint fishy smell swam back and forth between the two of them.
Cheng Ye somehow remembered the girl lying in a pool of blood.
Is this meat human flesh...
Cheng Ye raised his head complicatedly and looked at Old Chen.
Is Old Man Chen now, Old Man Chen, or Hooligan Lu No. 2?
"It's so late, where have you been?" Cheng Ye asked coldly.
Old Chen's eyes dodge and he suddenly becomes panicked.
A pair of rough hands rubbed back and forth in front of him.
He stumbled, stammered, and said the word "I" several times, but still didn't finish the sentence.
Cheng Ye stood up suddenly, his tall figure blocking most of the moonlight.
Old man Chen raised his head and looked at Cheng Ye, flustered.
"I ask you again, where have you been."
"Dad, Dad bought some meat for you..." Old Man Chen was about to cry, but he still stubbornly raised the meat in his hand.
Trying to prove that he really wasn't lying.
Cheng Ye carefully observed Old Man Chen and found that there was no blood on his body.
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, then looked up and down carefully again.
Indeed not.
He had been standing guard in the main room since noon, staring at the door. Old Chen didn't have time to come back and change clothes.
Where was the bloody suit he was supposed to be wearing?
Could it be...
