When An Shuang came back, the lights in the room were not turned on. She put the plastic bag from the supermarket on the ground by the door.
He closed the door, turned on the wall lamp, and was about to call Zhang Hanju.
The light comes on.
She is sitting on the sofa.
like a statue.
An Shuang noticed something was wrong, "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Zhang Hanju turned his head and said, "You bought a lot of vegetables."
"Well, I originally said to go out to eat, but I saw that you didn't reply to me, so I came back to buy groceries."
She sat next to Zhang Hanju and turned on the TV. "Next time if you don't turn on the light, remember to turn on the TV. It's so dark that it will hurt if the table leg hits your toes."
A variety show with all the members running wild was playing on the TV, and a group of people were laughing and joking in the show.
An Shuang said, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Zhang Hanju said he hadn't forgotten, "You haven't forgotten either, right?"
"How could I forget your birthday? Don't you always remember me?"
Zhang Hanju's birthday is in the middle of summer. She often celebrated it with her family when she was in elementary school. But when she was at school or in the small sandy area next to her home, An Shuang would give her one more time. Sometimes it was a cupcake, sometimes half a cupcake. watermelon.
The most abundant time was when An Shuang used his small savings to buy her an ice cream worth more than 70 yuan, and the two of them licked the cup until it was empty. Later, Zhang Hanju no longer celebrated her birthday at home, but An Shuang would still celebrate it for her.
She went to work and became even poorer. She couldn't eat well or sleep well. On her birthday, she accepted whatever delicious food An Shuang bought her. It seemed that except for that day, all other days were hers. Good Friday.
An Shuang said, "I ordered a cake for you. It's the strawberry chocolate cake you like. It will arrive in a moment."
Zhang Hanju said yes without any other expression on his face.
She was guessing why she was suddenly unhappy. She thought for a while and frowned, but she was not going to expose it because she wanted to see her reaction.
After dinner, the candles on the cake were lit.
An Shuang said make a wish.
Zhang Hanju reverently closed his hands, she closed them and waited. In the darkness, only Zhang Hanju's face was looming under the candlelight. An didn't blink as he watched her finish her wish and blew out the candles.
"Okay, what did you wish for?"
Zhang Hanju said, "I make a wish that the owner of my body will always be healthy."
An Shuang smiled unnaturally, "She will."
"Will she do it or will I?"
An Shuang said nothing.
"Is she already dead?" As smart as she was, she had already guessed it when she saw her tombstone.
But the only thing she couldn't understand was that human consciousness was obviously unified with the body. The body was a container for consciousness. If her body had died long ago, then her consciousness would not exist. This problem has troubled her for a long time.
"She is dead, but this has nothing to do with you."
Zhang Hanju continued to ask, "Why didn't you tell me that I was dead?"
An Shuang thought that she would guess that the owner of this body might have died unfortunately, but she never thought that Zhang Hanju would know that she was also dead.
"how do you know?"
"I went to look for you today, and I met my colleagues from the company who paid homage to me. They even took the flowers I liked." Zhang Hanju wanted to laugh when he said such a ridiculous situation, but he couldn't laugh after all.
The two fell into silence, and no one spoke again.
Zhang Hanju had so many questions that he wanted to ask her, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
She wanted to say that she was vicious, but An Shuang did this for her. Anyone could accuse her, but why should she, Zhang Hanju?
"Did you kill this woman yourself?"
"No, I participated." An Shuang didn't want to hide it from her anymore.
"The planner is Zhong Xingfeng, right?"
An Shuang nodded.
"Why did he help you rescue me?"
An Shuang looked at her, as if he wanted to find the hidden past of Zhang Hanju from her face, but after looking for a while, he couldn't see that she must have completely forgotten her past with Zhong Xingfeng in that accident. That's fine, remembering it is not a gift to her, "I don't know, he may have his own plans."
"Then you can obey him unconditionally?"
"As long as I can save you, I'm willing to do whatever it takes."
Zhang Hanju's throat felt sore. She couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and was about to leave. Someone followed behind her, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know, I'm confused right now."
An Shuang held her hand, "Are you afraid? Don't worry, no one will ever find out about this matter. Even if...even if it is found out, you will not be implicated, because you have always been there. Neither did anything wrong.”
"You think I can just watch? This person died because of me. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have died. I was a robber and took her body. No one can deprive a person of the right to control his own body!"
"No, no, listen to me. Even if she wants to hate, she should hate me. Hating Zhong Xingfeng has nothing to do with you, so you don't even have to feel guilty."
Zhang Hanju smiled bitterly, "You mean, since I'm in this woman's body, I should treat it as my own body?"
"She's dead, and her body would have been too if it hadn't been for you."
She spoke very righteously to Ling Ran, but Zhang Hanju really couldn't stay any longer.
"where you go?"
Zhang Hanju shook off her hand and said, "Where am I going? I'm going to die."
An Shuang took it seriously, "Do you think she can come back if you die? Not at all. If you die, your consciousness will disappear, and her body will die. Everything we do will be in vain."
"Even now, you still don't think it's wrong?"
"The only thing I did wrong was to let you discover the truth."
Zhang Hanju puffed his head with anger, pushed her away and said, "I have nothing to say to you."
"If it weren't for me, you would be completely trapped in the Sunrise Game. Like those game characters, you would be ravaged by game users and trapped in a cage for the rest of your life."
Zhang Hanju was extremely angry, "Do you know, if I knew that I would return to the real world in this way, I would rather be trapped there for the rest of my life."
"I will never allow the system to trap you." An Shuang said.
Zhang Hanju opened the door, "Let's both calm down and think about what to do next."
"You don't have to think too much, I will take full responsibility for anything that happens."
Zhang Hanju sighed, "You were not like this before."
"Are you disappointed in me?"
Zhang Hanju didn't answer.
Her silence made her almost collapse, "I can't be that kind. As long as there is a way to save you, I will try it. Did I do something wrong?"
"It's not your fault, it's me. It's always been my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come this far."
"You all know that I'm doing this for your own good, so just pretend you don't know about it and we'll still be as good as before, can't you?"
"Why am I the same as before? Just looking in the mirror reminds me of how unfortunate this person is."
An Shuang couldn't convince her, and neither could she.
"I should have died long ago." Zhang Hanju said.
An Shuang grabbed her shoulders and pushed her down against the wall, "I don't allow you to say that!"
"From the day Zhang Ziyang left, I no longer deserved to live. When I grow up, this person died because of me. Somehow, I have already committed many crimes."
An Shuang's eyes turned red, "That's not true. You are innocent. You have never done anything wrong, nothing."
Zhang Hanju pushed her away effortlessly, "Don't meddle in my affairs from now on. I will walk my own path."
An Shuang was worried about her, "How about we change our lives somewhere other than here, do you think it's okay?"
"Where are we going?" Zhang Hanju looked at her with a half-smile.
"Shaoxing, don't you like it there very much?"
Zhang Hanju said no, "I don't want to go anymore."
She wanted to follow, but Zhang Hanju said, "If you force me to stay here again, I will jump off the top floor immediately. You know what I will do."
She stood where she was, and as expected she didn't follow him out again.
The next day, she called Zhang Hanju, but she didn't answer the phone dozens of times. An Shuang asked for leave. After a while, she applied for resignation in the system and sent her resignation report to Ye Xuyang.
The cell phone is upside down on the table.
She didn't know where Zhang Hanju could go, nor whether she should go find her. Her temper was so stubborn that she would not easily deny the truth she believed in.
The phone started to move, and she thought it might be Ye Xuyang calling after seeing her resignation application.
Opening the phone, it was Zhang Hanju.
An Shuang was surprised and happy. He stood up hurriedly and walked to the living room away from the window to answer the question, "Hey, where are you? Do you want me to pick you up? Have you eaten?"
Zhang Hanju lowered his voice and said, "I'm here at Zhong Xingfeng."
"Ah, why did you go to him?"
"I ran into him at the bottom of the community last night."
"Then...he didn't do anything to you, right?"
"Huh? What can he do to me? Anyway, I found a very strange system here."
"What system?"
"I can't tell you, it's very similar to the system I saw on your computer before."
"What did you say?" It was a bionic system that moved the character's consciousness code. It was a system that she updated and tried based on some information given to her by Mr. Luo, and re-created it for Zhang Hanju. Zhong Xingfeng knew about this system. It exists, but there is no way he can get in.
"Come on, Zhong Xingfeng brought me back. Although I don't know why he brought me back... But now he has gone to the company. Come pick me up and see what it is."
"Okay, I'll be here right away, don't run around."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Zhang Hanju hung up the phone.
An Shuang was about to set off to Zhong Xingfeng's place, but Zhang Hanju sent out a location for the suburbs.
"Zhong Xingfeng's home is here." Zhang Hanju typed to her.
An Shuang was sulking and angry. Zhong Xing had been thinking about Feng Jinwu Zangjiao for many years, and now it had finally come true. Unfortunately, Zhang Hanju had long forgotten everything they had done before.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Zhang Hanju running over to open the door for her, "You came so fast. It takes more than two hours to get here from the city."
Zhang Hanju took her in and said, "Don't worry, there is no one else in his family."
"Don't you think it's strange? He doesn't live in his own home, he lives here." An Shuang said.
"Yes, why, why doesn't he live with his wife?"
"Anyway, don't see him in private in the future, and don't contact him less after we get home from here."
Zhang Hanju said he understood, "I didn't even want to come."
She led her into the study room. There were layers of books on the mahogany bookshelves, and the top layer was clean and free of dust.
An Shuang opened the computer on the desktop and said, "Let me take a look. We will leave in a moment."
"Okay, be careful and don't leave any traces." Zhang Hanju reminded her.
"I know, but I'm not smarter than you?"
"Smart, smart, you are the smartest."
She turned on the system and Zhang Hanju stood behind her, "What is this section?"
An Shuang looked at where her finger was pointing.
Zhang Hanju waited for more than half an hour. During this period, An Shuang's cell phone kept ringing, and she did not look away.
"What happened?" Zhang Hanju didn't understand.
An Shuang hurriedly closed the computer and said, "Let's go quickly."
"Go? Where to go?" Zhang Hanju didn't understand.
"We can't stay any longer—"
As soon as she stood up, a knife pierced her waist behind her.
An Shuang turned around with difficulty and saw the expressionless face. His eyes were looking at her, but his heart was not there.
The knife in her hand was pulled out of An Shuang's body, and her blood was still stained on the tiger's mouth.
Before she could react, Zhang Hanju stepped forward and hugged her. He held her shoulder with one hand and stabbed her abdomen with the other hand, one after another, and one after another.
Because Zhang Hanju hugged her, her body was covered with her blood, not to mention the hand holding the murder weapon. She was killing, but there was no cruelty at all from her unchanged face and expression, as if she was just hugging her. She was whispering, sentence after sentence, sentence after sentence.
Finally, she fell to the ground.
The murderer slowly bowed his head in front of her body, as if he was checking her breath.
After thousands of words came to An Shuang's lips, she still gave up and just said something to her with a smile.
"It's okay." As soft as a feather, it fell to the ground silently.
A drop of tear fell near the floor where she lay. The ruthless executioner was not angry, happy, or joyful. She just shed a tear expressionlessly, as if it was just a drop of rain brought in from outside.
The blood fell on the floor and oozed out. The cold tears mixed with the hot blood, and the blood and tears could no longer tell who was who.
When she woke up, the handle of the wooden fruit knife was still in her hand, and the shiny blade was stained with An Shuang's blood, dripping on the floor.
She could no longer hold the knife steady.
He stepped forward to touch An Shuang, who was lying in a pool of blood, but she had lost her breath and closed her eyes tightly. Zhang Hanju's lips trembled and he couldn't form any words, "An Shuang... An... Shuang, don't scare me... Get up... I beg you to get up... It was me... I killed you... How could I kill... How could I kill you..."
She hugged the lifeless An Shuang tightly and pressed her face against hers, but her blood became cold. Zhang Hanju called her back hoarsely, "I will go to Shaoxing with you, didn't you say Take me there, I promise you, will you wake up?"
Her pulse stopped beating, her breathing stopped, and the shiny yellow wooden floor was smeared with her blood, smeared and blooming, like a perfectly bloomed rose.
Zhang Hanju didn't know what happened. She only remembered that she was very sleepy, took a nap, and saw all this when she woke up.
Her desperate cries pierced the tranquility of the villa.
The instigator seemed to be awakened. He slowly opened the door of the study room, first checked whether his books were stained with blood, and then seemed to be shocked by the scene.
Zhang Hanju's cry was so sad that he frowned and said, "Immerse yourself."
She became sluggish again like a robot, losing the power of pain.
"Don't cry and get out of here with me."
She gently put the body down and followed him like a wandering spirit.
"wake up."
She was already sitting in his car.
Looking at his hands again, there was no blood on them. Zhang Hanju breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had just had a dream.
"What, are you sleepy?" Zhong Xingfeng asked her.
"No, did I fall asleep just now?"
"Asleep? No, you were awake the entire time."
Zhong Xingfeng felt the need to remind what happened just now, "You killed An Shuang."
It turns out that it was not a dream.
A powerful force punched her in the heart, almost breaking her heart.
"Why...I...why?"
She started crying again, endlessly, and she seemed to have no other outlet except crying. She couldn't calm down and was going crazy.
Zhong Xingfeng turned on the music and didn't like her crying.
"It's you, right?" Zhang Hanju connected what happened.
Zhong Xingfeng stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rode on the mountain road happily, "So what if it's me?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"First, test your obedience. Second, An Shuang knows part of my plan."
Zhang Hanju immediately had the idea of killing him, and she did so, but as soon as she reached her hand in front of him, she could no longer move forward.
Zhong Xingfeng glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "It's a waste of effort. I set your code to prevent self-inflicted suicide and hurt me, so you can't kill me. It's okay to think about it in your mind."
Zhang Hanju's eyes were quenched with poison. She wanted to tear the man in front of her to pieces immediately, and she imagined putting him in front of the car and running over him.
"I don't like the way you look at me. You are too tired. You need to rest for a while and immerse yourself."
