Wu Xie's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he was uneasy. His body tensed up like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board.
Zhang Haike, who was half a meter away from him, received the same treatment. He finally recovered. He inhaled in pain when he moved, raised his eyes and cursed.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Haike turned his head to Wu Xie and said, "Damn, you idiot, look at the good things you have done!"
"It's none of my business." Wu Xiecai didn't like him. "First, I'm happy that you're in trouble. Second, they set up a trap to catch us two, and you took the initiative to come to the door. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?" ?”
Zhang Haike sighed, "If I hadn't heard from the big lama and the others that there was another 'Wu Xie' here, how could I have been caught by them when I went to see who you were out of curiosity?"
Curiosity really killed the cat!
Wu Xie snorted coldly, "That's what you deserve. Why do you pretend to be me when you have nothing to do? If you didn't pretend to be me, these things wouldn't happen at all."
In line with the idea that a dead Taoist friend would not die a poor Taoist, he betrayed Zhang Haike without hesitation, "I have a way to prove that he is fake!"
Zhang Zhuxun stood next to him and said lazily, "Huh?", watching the Zhang family arranging the boxes containing the heads on the table, and then turned to look at Wu Xie, "What can I do? "
Zhang Haike instantly realized what Wu Xie wanted to say. Before he could stop him, Wu Xie over there quickly blurted out the matter.
"I saw this fake Wu Xie in Jude Kao's team outside Zhangjia Ancient Building a year ago." Wu Xie said his analysis three times, "So what he said about the ten-year agreement to start from the snow mountain It must be a lie to come here.”
The fake Wu Xie who played with him on the mountain behind the ancient building had the same mean look and tone of voice as the fake Wu Xie now. In fact, Wu Xie recognized him the first time he saw him. Out.
There was a smile in Zhang Zhuoxun's eyes, and he paused deliberately before speaking slowly, "But here, the only people who know about this matter are you two. How do I know if you are preemptively shifting the blame to frame him?" It’s on him.”
Wu Xie was stunned and fell back, speechless for a moment. After thinking about it, he really had yellow mud in his crotch now. Even if he said it was not daddy, no one would believe him.
Zhang Haike sneered on the side, "Don't waste your efforts. It's useless. They will only believe in their own judgment. No matter how hard you press, they won't hear it."
Wu Xie was too lazy to pay attention to him, saying to himself that now you can only express your ideas so quickly, what's the use, no.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Haike became a little reluctant, "If you ask me, you are such a waste, why not just admit that you are a fake and save yourself the trouble later... Oops -"
Halfway through his words, a sound broke through the air, and he received a heavy blow on the corner of his mouth, but this time it was much lighter than before, otherwise his teeth would have been knocked out.
Zhang Haixing's vicious voice sounded, "You will die if you blatantly collude in confession?"
Zhang Haike turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. His face was swollen and he hissed for cold air. He said unconvinced, "Why did you only hit me and not him?"
"You two look the same, who the hell can tell you apart." Zhang Haixing said nonchalantly.
Zhang Haike was furious, "You are so damn partial!"
Zhang Haixing opened the slingshot again and warned fiercely: "If you say one more thing, I will knock out your teeth."
Wu Xie was poking at him and snickering, yes.
Zhang Haixing turned around and saw it, and cursed: "You're laughing your ass off, you kid is the same."
Wu Xie was afraid that this crazy woman would really do something to him, so he quickly stopped laughing and looked serious.
Zhang Zhuoxun clicked the lighter a few times, lit a cigarette and held it between his fingertips. There seemed to be some impatience in his eyebrows. Seeing this, Zhang Haixing said nothing more.
Zhang Long half walked down the stairs. Seeing that he was ready, he said: "Let's get started."
Someone stepped forward and took off the black cloth strips from Wu Xie's eyes. Several lights were lit in the basement, making the room so bright that it was almost indistinguishable from the daytime.
Wu Xie half-squinted his eyes to adjust to the harsh light, and saw several tables put together in front of him, with seven or eight square black boxes placed on them.
Wu Xie didn't know what they were going to do. He glanced around a few times. The basement was cleaned very clean and no blood was visible, but for some reason there was always an eerie feeling.
The smell of blood and the familiar pungent smell came from the boxes in front of him. Wu Xie couldn't analyze what was inside from the expressions of the people around him, but it couldn't be anything good.
What was sitting under his butt was actually an ordinary chair, but with armrests welded on the side that could be tied. Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his previous imagination was just a false alarm.
Zhang Long half-pushed a chair over and sat in front of the two of them. He stared directly at their faces and said, "I have seen their faces. One of you must be wearing a mask, but he has been wearing the mask for more than It has been 20 years, so the skin and face have been completely integrated."
"One of you must have had surgery on your facial bones in order to better adapt to the mask. Also, one of you must have had bone-breaking surgery on both legs in order to adjust your height."
"It's too long ago to judge the traces of surgery by touch, and we don't have professional medical equipment now. So, in theory, if you don't test your DNA, you are almost the same person."
Wu Xie frowned and looked at Zhang Zhuxun, "What about him? He also used this method?"
Zhang Long gave a half smile and said, "He is different from you."
If it weren't for the huge difference in hairstyle, in fact, Bai Ci's image would be closer to Wu Xie's than Zhang Haike's.
But Zhang Zhuxun only followed the character of "Bai Ci" from the first sentence he spoke, being aloof and indifferent, showing no joy in his expression.
Only when he was really struggling for a long time between the thrilling cruel blood and the critical point of death, and was bathed in the evil spirit until the end, and when he was almost dying, his brain still maintained restraint and extreme calmness.
Only such people can have this kind of indifference, which seems to bring all the ephemera back to their hearts, but is still far away from the world.
Because he has experienced enough shocking ugliness, his eyes have seen through everything. Emotions are an extra gift for him, but they are also the most useless thing.
But because there is always something in my heart, after waiting for all the clues to appear, the passion and soul that had to be abandoned in the desperate situation are reunited in that cold body that has been drained of blood.
He saw the long-lost sunshine and came back to life.
——
The passing years are like drinking ice, but in the end they are not as sad as a big dream.
The years are difficult to cool down the heart and blood, but the solitary lamp that recounts the years brings back the soul.
——
Wu Xie did not hear Zhang Longban's unfinished words. He continued to ask: "There are obvious flaws in what you said. How could anyone know what I will look like in the future twenty years ago."
"You were already eight or nine years old at that time. From this, we can infer nearly 80% of what you will look like in the future. Even if there is a difference later, it will be slight. If you modify the basics slightly, there will be no major flaws." Zhang Longban said. .
"Okay, it only takes me fifteen minutes to tell you apart, but you will suffer a little."
"I can tell you clearly that we will definitely get rid of the fake one, so you must do your best to prove that you are the real 'Wu Xie'."
"Wait a minute." Zhang Haike's eyes flashed, "How do you distinguish between true and false? You don't understand anything."
Zhang Longban's face showed a calmness that had been in control of the situation for a long time. "Many people told us that Wu Xie is a very weak person, but we feel that many things can be disguised for a long time."
"So neither strength nor intelligence can tell me apart. We have known a long time ago that the three provinces of Wu of the Wu family can appear in two places thousands of kilometers apart at the same time. How do I know what is going on with you two. "
At this point, Zhang Long paused for a moment, then said with a sinister smile: "Actually, we have eliminated many fake Wu Xies before you two, so remember, there is no use playing tricks. .”
Wu Xie shivered from the coldness on his face, wondering how miserable the fate of those "fake Wu Xies" would be.
He trembled his lips and asked, "What if, I mean what if, what if Wu Xie really failed your test and was accidentally killed by you?"
Zhang Zhuxun stood aside with his arms folded and gave him a calm look, "Don't be afraid. If it's true, it will be fine."
Wu Xie tugged at the corner of his mouth with difficulty and laughed twice. Damn it, what else could he say.
Zhang Long half-raised his hand and waved it gently, and the Zhang family standing behind the table opened the square boxes together.
Wu Xie was afraid that he would miss something, so he stretched his neck and looked inside.
After seeing the true identity of those things, his eyes almost popped out of his head, there was a buzz in his head, and the muscles all over his body immediately went limp out of control.
Those were heads—seven heads!
Neatly, seven heads with Wu Xie's face!
It was placed inside the box, eyes closed tightly, facing Wu Xie's direction.
The smell of formalin that hit his nostrils made Wu Xie almost faint.
Zhang Haike next to him also showed a surprised expression, but he was much calmer than Wu Xie, "Is this?"
"I cut them off with my own hands, and the seven are the most similar." Zhang Shuxun continued.
It was as if he had already seen Zhang Zhuxun picking through the piles of "Wu Xie" corpses. The joint between the severed head and the neck was still dripping with dazzling scarlet.
Wu Xie's head was spinning and his stomach was churning. He held it back and said with difficulty: "Why are there so many?"
"You must know that many things cannot be successful in one go. A perfect copy is often followed by many defective products. The defective products cannot be remanufactured and cannot be circulated." Zhang Longban said, "So they can only be used as comparison data. exist."
Zhang Shuxun said: "Every winter, a 'Wu Xie' will appear in Medog who tries to enter the depths of the snowy mountains, but they will eventually be discovered and eliminated by my tribe."
"In order to catch all the 'Wu Xie' in one fell swoop, I planted baits all over the country during the ten-year period. With my current face and a reason they couldn't refuse, I used my current face and a reason they couldn't refuse to lure all the "Wu Xies" in the world. The formed 'Wu Xie' was all brought here."
"We will be entering the snowy mountains soon, and you are the last two before the deadline."
"These heads are the foreshadowing of one of you. Before one of you became Wu Xie, these people had the possibility of becoming Wu Xie, but obviously, their luck was not good."
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "After everything is over, the one who remains can go and see the place where they were buried. After all, not everyone can have such a bizarre and shocking experience."
Wu Xie's brain hurt so much that he felt like he was going to have a fever, but he had to keep his brain clear, otherwise he would accidentally lose his life and there would be no place to cry.
"Why do these people pretend to be me?" he asked.
Zhang Long's face showed an expression of combing memories. After a while, he said: "Since you found out my surname is Zhang, you should also know our origins. Forty years ago, during that time, we discovered that someone was traveling across the country. A large-scale manhunt was launched to arrest a man named Zhang Qiling. The matter was of great importance, so we started to intervene and discovered a shocking and huge conspiracy."
"We watched this conspiracy on the sidelines, and later found that things were getting more and more out of control. In order to make things controllable again, we had to intervene in it, quietly intervened in part, and dealt with some people who dazzled us."
Forty years ago, Wu Xie only remembered that very important thing, which had something to do with his little brother.
Are these people in front of me Zhang Dafo Lord's people, or are they the kindling people who quietly retained the fire after the destruction of the Zhang family?
With this in mind, Wu Xie asked.
"There is no real Zhang family anymore," Zhang Long half said, "During the civil strife in the mainland, our international trade system in Xiangjiang was relatively intact."
Even though he was talking about a sad thing, Zhang Long still showed an arrogant yet calm mood.
This feeling is hard to describe. Wu Xie had seen it in Muyu before when he briefly told him about his little brother. It was a kind of solemn aura that came from him and was similar to that of an ancient noble.
But he is not an aristocrat, it is not a luxurious nobility, but a sense of superiority that allows him to see everything all year round and control it in the palm of his hand.
"However, the ancestors of the Great Buddha Zhang you are talking about no longer belong to our system a long time ago." Zhang Long half added.
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Zhuxun who was standing aside like a spectator, "You are from Kangbalo. I want to know what you said before about the relationship between an overseas Zhang family member I know and the Kangbalo people."
He looked at Zhang Longban again, "Since you have observed me for a long time, you must know that besides Zhang Qiling, there is also a Zhang family member beside me."
A strange look appeared on Zhang Longban's face. He thought for a few seconds before speaking, "Do you think the information about the overseas Zhang family is more important than your own safety?"
Wu Xie nodded without hesitation, "It's important!" (End of Chapter)
