Chu Ping tried not to look at the woman, but instead focused on the little boy holding a sharp knife.
On the bright tip of the knife, bright red blood dripped from it, and then blended into the blood on the ground.
"Why did you say she was your mother?"
Chu Ping couldn't tell whether the boy was a human, let alone why the little boy called a woman mother.
The boy didn't answer, but looked at him with resentful eyes. He suddenly clenched the sharp knife in his hand and rushed directly towards Chu Ping.
The boy's sudden move caught Chu Ping off guard.
"I'm going to wipe it, why don't you come again?"
Chu Ping never understood why this boy had so much resentment towards him.
The boy rushed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Chu Ping.
Although Chu Ping was injured, the boy was still a child after all, and his strength and reflexes could not compare to Chu Ping's.
Chu Ping touched the swinging stick, blocked the sharp knife in the little boy's hand, and then prepared to hit the little boy's head.
"If I kill him here, it should be considered an over-defense."
Chu Ping began to think about the consequences of over-defense.
The cold feeling came over again, and Chu Ping stiffened, and he no longer dared to be cruel to the boy.
Chu Ping also didn't expect that a woman would protect a boy like this.
Chu Ping no longer moved, but looked at the woman. At this time, the woman's appearance had become normal, and Chu Ping dared to carefully look at the appearance of the woman in front of him.
The woman's appearance was very similar to that of the little boy under the overpass. Chu Ping was even more sure of the relationship between the woman in front of him and the little boy.
Chu Ping looked at the boy who had just been subdued by him. At this time, the boy was leaning against the wall. The resentful look in his eyes had not diminished at all. It was as if Chu Ping had killed their whole family and would not stop until death. The feeling radiated unreservedly from the little boy's eyes.
"What's going on with this boy? He can't be her child too."
Chu Ping felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the boy and subconsciously turned his gaze away.
The woman's breath was different from all the weird existences Chu Ping had seen before.
There was no violence, blood, or despair in the woman's breath, but instead made Chu Ping feel extremely gentle.
"Why do you feel this way?"
Chu Ping didn't know why he felt something from the woman in front of him that shouldn't exist.
"Hello?"
Chu Ping didn't know what to say. After opening his mouth for a long time, he could only squeeze out these two words.
The woman smiled at Chu Ping.
Chu Ping was shocked again. He had never thought that such a gentle smile would appear on a strange person.
But at this moment, Chu Ping couldn't help but picture Jiang Qing in his mind.
"Why did I think of her?"
Chu Ping felt that his sudden idea was somewhat unrealistic.
"You seem...different from the others."
Chu Ping did not dare to let down his guard. He still held the swinging stick tightly in his hand, secretly accumulating strength in his legs. As long as the woman made a slightly abnormal move, Chu Ping made sure to hit the swinging stick on the opponent's head as soon as possible. Even if it has no effect on her, the powerful legs can make Chu Ping stay away from the woman for the first time.
"Difference from what?"
The woman looked at Chu Ping with a smile, as if waiting for an answer from him.
"It's a little different from the two on the second floor."
Chu Ping didn't know if the woman would be angry if he said this.
Chu Ping took a sneak peek at the woman and found that she was not alienated, so he felt relieved.
"Haha, don't you wonder why those two people are like this?"
Chu Ping's eyes lit up, and he knew that the appearance of the two people on the second floor must be related to the person in front of him.
"I was killed here, and the two people who killed me were the two people downstairs," the woman said to Chu Ping, "At the beginning, I was always confused until a young man came In this unfinished building."
Chu Ping suddenly became interested, and Lao Gao was wary of hearing the wrong words.
"young people?"
This is new news that Chu Ping has never heard before.
"Well, a young man. He was wearing a peaked cap with the brim very low. I didn't see his appearance clearly until he left here."
"What is he doing here?"
Chu Ping was a little confused as to what the purpose of this young man who suddenly appeared was.
"He didn't say anything, he just left the two robbers on the second floor."
Chu Ping frowned and thought. After the two robbers killed the woman in the unfinished building, they ran away with the boy. Later, the police found the hit and scrapped car under the overpass. The two robbers and the little boy also None of them survived and died on the spot.
In other words, what the young man left behind at that time were the ghosts of the two robbers, not living people.
"Who is he?"
Chu Ping was surprised by the young man's ability to bring ghosts here.
"He told me that his name was Mu Ai, and that he wanted to form an association that could create weird existences. He asked me if I was interested in joining them."
Chu Ping couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Association? Creating weirdness?"
Chu Ping thought of the interviewers in Building 44. They also mentioned the association, but he didn't know if the two associations were the same.
"Did you agree?"
Chu Ping was very curious about the woman's final choice.
"No, I told him that I was not interested in his association. He didn't say anything at that time. He just said that if he figured it out, he could tell him next time we meet."
Chu Ping became more and more curious about that young man.
"Did you meet again later?"
The woman shook her head.
"No, in five years, only two people have come to this unfinished building."
Chu Ping looked at the little boy who shrank behind the woman at some point.
The little boy should be one of them, and the other one should be the homeless man living on the first floor.
"His name is Axiao. He was picked up by a homeless man on the first floor. He knew that he couldn't go above the second floor, so he put Axiao at the entrance of the stairs."
The woman glanced at Ah Xiao who was hiding behind her, with a trace of a mother's emotion for her child in her eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Ping finally figured out the relationship between several people.
The first resident in the unfinished building was probably the elder sister in front of me, and the next person who moved in was the homeless man on the first floor.
According to the woman, the tramp must have been on the second floor, and he must have seen the "shock art" of the yellow-haired man and the middle-aged man, so no matter how much noise Chu Ping made on the second floor just now, the tramp would Pretend not to hear.
As for this little boy, he was probably a street boy that the tramp met outside. Either because the woman "taken in" the tramp in return, or because he wanted to please the woman, he fell in love with the woman and brought her a child.
The woman really treats the little boy as her own child, and the little boy seems to recognize this "ghost mother".
