Chapter 79 Infinite Ghost Man

Chapter 79 Infinite Ghost Man

Lin Shui never understood why his parents didn't like him, even though he looked exactly like his brother.

Since he was a child, he has watched his brother being favored by his parents, especially his mother.

My brother's clothes are always the most fashionable, and his clothes are always the ones that my brother doesn't want to wear anymore.

When buying snacks outside, it is always my brother who chooses them, although he can also eat them too.

Yes, they did not lack food or clothing for him, and they also paid for him to go to school, fulfilling their basic responsibilities as parents.

However, as one of the twins, in such deviant treatment day after day, in the unfair treatment of every little thing, his heart is painful and twisted, and he looks more and more depressed, paranoid and unpleasant.

Lin Shui was not so gloomy, cold and unlovable at the beginning. When he was young, he tried to act coquettishly with his parents.

Once, my mother came to the kindergarten to pick them up from school. She knelt down next to her brother, kissed and hugged him, and then took her brother's hand to leave.

Lin Shui had been mentally prepared for a long time that day. He held his schoolbag shoulder strap and walked to her. He mustered up the courage to look up at her and said, "Mom, can you give me a hug?"

His mother looked at him in surprise.

He pursed his lips and said, "Mom, can you give me a hug?"

Mom still looked at him in surprise, motionless.

Students were coming and going around, and parents were holding their children's hands and looking over frequently.

He clutched the strap of his schoolbag tightly, and his voice trembled, "Mom, please give me a hug, okay?"

That day he had a tantrum for the first time since he could remember. He cried and yelled and insisted that his mother hug him. That day he learned that adults can also have tantrums. The more he cried and fussed, the less his mother would hug him. Finally, the kindergarten teacher put him Got into the car.

Maybe it was because he was too young. He only remembered that he was very, very sad at that time and did not collapse.

The first time the pain led to collapse was when their family bought a house.

My parents saved some money, which could buy a larger house, but they bought two small two-bedroom apartments, one upstairs and one downstairs.

How do a pair of parents and a pair of twins who need independent space live in a two-bedroom apartment?

My parents' decision was that they and their brother would live in the upstairs apartment, and he would live alone in the downstairs apartment.

He was nine years old at the time and shouted hysterically: "You just want to leave me alone so that the family of three can live together!"

Dad said: "How come? How many boys want to have the freedom not to be disturbed by their parents? You have a house by yourself. I don't know how envious your classmates are."

He finally moved to the suite downstairs.

Because the family's savings were spent on buying two apartments, there was no money to renovate the apartment downstairs, so only basic water and electricity were installed. The unpainted bedroom only had a bed, a desk and a wardrobe.

The quality of that building was not very good, especially in terms of sound insulation. Every night he could hear the sound of tables and chairs being moved upstairs, the sound of people walking around, and the sound of the toilet flushing. He listened carefully to make guesses. what are they doing.

Since then, he has become more gloomy and paranoid, in stark contrast to his lively and enthusiastic brother.

That year his grandmother was seriously ill. Before she passed away, he sat in front of the hospital bed and asked her: "Why don't my parents like me?"

Grandma said: "You are their son, how could they not like you? They just like your brother more."

Grandma's old hand held his, "When there are more than two children, everyone's heart will be a little biased. It is impossible for a relationship to be completely divided into two equal halves. If it could, it would not be a relationship."

Lin Shui asked: "Then why do you prefer your brother?"

Grandma tried her best to open her eyes, her voice was weak, and her face showed a kind of powerlessness and panic about the end of her life, even though she had acted calmly before, "Your brother was born very smoothly. When it came to you, she Almost died."

She closed her eyes forever without clarifying the details.

Lin Shui sat for a long time before putting her hand back to her side.

He tried to understand his parents' behavior from this vague point, but every day and every thing after that, the indifference that followed destroyed all his understanding. The only change in him was that he stopped being hysterical and became quieter.

His second painful collapse occurred after a ghost appeared in Qingcheng.

One day, he saw his parents sighing in pain and crying when his brother was away. He became interested and wanted to know what happened. Of course, he knew that they wouldn't tell him if he asked directly.

Parents often tell people outside that their little son is gloomy every day and may have some mental problem.

What they may not know is that their youngest son does have some behaviors that may be psychological problems. For example, every night he listens to the noise upstairs and wonders what they are doing.

Gradually, just listening normally can no longer satisfy him. He will find a ladder and stick it to the roof to listen. He will drill holes that they cannot find to listen.

So if he wanted to know, they could hide nothing from him.

He knew that his brother had leukemia. They were in great pain and cried every night. They did not dare to tell his brother. Faced with increasingly irritable questioning, they almost collapsed.

He had to admit that when he heard this for the first time, he felt a little happy in his heart. He thought, in this case, after his brother dies, will his parents give him all their love?

This happiness flashed by. He was often in pain because of his parents' preference for his brother, but his brother treated him no worse than his parents treated him. Even when he faced him, there was always a feeling of superiority on his face that could not be concealed.

He didn't expect things to develop like that.

A few nights later, he heard his parents talking about ghosts changing bodies.

Mom said: "I heard that in Qingcheng, as long as the Ghost Bureau does not stop it, ghost body-changing will definitely happen and be successful. The closer the people are, the easier it is for them to be changed."

He didn't hear his father's voice. He clenched his hands tightly and waited tensely. It took a long time before he heard his father's voice. He asked with an unclear attitude: "What do you mean?"

Mom: "Don't pretend to be dumbfounded. Since you asked this, you don't know what I mean?"

Dad said: "I know that Xiaoshan and Xiaoshui are closely related by blood and look exactly the same. The ghost change will definitely be successful, and with our cover, outsiders can't see it. This is true... But so is Xiaoshui. Our son!"

Mom: "Yes! He is! How could I not know that he came out of my belly! But the problem we are facing now is, if one of the two sons must die, who should we choose? You know, right now It’s time like this!”

There was no sound as to who was chosen, but the answer was obvious.

At the end of the conversation, he heard his mother say: "I never knew why Xiaoshui existed, but now I know."

Lin Shui didn't sleep a wink all night that night.

He went to and from school in a daze. His body was not held up by flesh and bones, but was filled with chill, fear, and hatred.

He could feel his parents getting more and more sad and anxious, and his brother getting more and more irritable.

My parents didn't tell my brother about their plan, because in the parents' minds, my brother should be sunny and clean, free from any darkness, and live without any moral pressure or guilt.

How could he live his life with a life and heavy shackles on his back as a teenager?

He once thought that his brother, whose pride was written all over his face, was actually sunny and clean, until he saw a book about ghosts changing bodies in the hole in his brother's desk.

In those few years, Qingcheng had frequent ghosts and ghosts changing their bodies. There were many books like this. It was not surprising to read this kind of book. Many people in the class were reading it.

However, one day after dinner, my brother was sitting on the sofa reading this book. When he went out to make a phone call, he left the book on the desk. When he came back from the phone call, he did not pick up the book, but went straight to the room. , the book was taken to read by my mother who was sitting on the sofa.

When he returned to his room downstairs, he thought about his brother's behavior over and over again, and the next day he looked up the book.

There are many books about ghosts changing bodies, and different books have different speculations about ghosts changing bodies. These speculations have not been confirmed by the Ghost Personnel Bureau. They only selected individual cases that are not true or false to support them.

The final conjecture of the author of my brother's book is that ghosts like to change bodies with people who look like themselves and people they know very well. The author gave an example. If there are a pair of twins, they must be the best ghost body-changing partners. .

This is his clean and sunny brother.

Even if his parents didn't tell his brother how his health was doing, he must have noticed it himself. What did he mean by deliberately leaving such a book in front of his mother?

At that moment, many little things from the past came to mind. He pulled up his pants and looked down for a long time.

My brother especially likes to pursue fashion. He buys a lot of clothes and changes them frequently. Therefore, his parents feel that he does not need to buy clothes separately. There are many clothes that his brother has worn a few times for him to wear.

It is true that my brother has only worn those clothes a few times, but not all of them are very new or complete. For example, on the pants, the most common thing is that there are many holes from cigarette butts on the inside of the pants. There are also clothes that look new, but there are Urination.

He recalled what the teacher said at a parent-teacher conference. The teacher said that parents are the best role models for children, and children will subconsciously learn from their parents.

Parents are indeed the best role models.

On the day he found out the content of this book, he saw his brother confessing to Bei Jingqian at school.

In this world, the only person who chose him between him and his brother was the girl named Bei Jingqian.

She could always recognize him instantly, even on Mondays when he and his brother were both wearing school uniforms and had the same hairstyle, but you know, sometimes their parents would get it wrong.

Her brother liked her, but she firmly chose him, rejecting him countless times that day.

This scene happened to him, and his brother was embarrassed and angry. After Bei Jingqian left, he pushed him against the wall, "Are you very proud? You can only be proud of this. You said that if she Would I still like you if I knew you lived like a dog?"

Lin Shui had no emotions in his heart, but he had a bright smile on his face, "Yes, I'm very proud of you. It doesn't matter how you please in front of your parents. Your goddess doesn't like you like this at all. She likes me and is willing to give you everything." My everything.”

Lin Shan was so angry that day that his parents suppressed and violently abused him in various ways.

That time, his parents didn't go too far. They even bought him a suit of clothes for his seventeenth birthday, although the clothes were obviously not on the same level as his brother's.

Dad said: "For your seventeenth birthday, my mother and I decided to make it special for you. We prepared tents, barbecue grills and other things. Let's go camping in the mountains as a family that day."

Lin Shan immediately said: "This is a good idea. I can invite a few more classmates to come."

This time, his parents did not satisfy him and insisted that this was a family birthday event.

He knew it was coming.

That night, he hugged his rare black sportswear and went to apologize to his brother, "I shouldn't have said that that day. Brother, please forgive me."

The elder brother looked at the clothes held tightly in his arms and sneered.

Lin Shui bit her lip and said, "Brother, I want to apply for the Jingpin Institute of X University. The tuition fee is a bit high. Can you help me talk to my parents?"

Lin Shan found it even more funny, "Why should I help you? Aren't you very powerful and proud?"

He stood in front of him, lowered his head for a long time, almost breaking his lip, and then said: "Brother, Bei Jingqian said that on my seventeenth birthday, she wanted to give me her first time."

Lin Shan opened his eyes wide and was about to curse when he heard him say: "Brother, go for me."

"Wha, what do you mean?" Lin Shan suddenly got up from the sofa and approached him, staring at her closely.

Lin Shui said: "We look exactly the same and have the same height, but our hairstyles are different. It's not difficult. Let's prepare in the past two days, and you can be Lin Shui. I will call Bei Jingqian on my birthday. field……"

"Really?" Lin Shan swallowed and touched his pants excitedly.

Lin Shui didn't agree to him first, but asked: "Brother, are you sure you can let my parents send me to X University?"

"Yes, yes! My parents listen to me in everything, what's so difficult about it?" Lin Shan said, "Isn't it just a matter of money? If you can pass the exam, then even if your parents really don't want to, I can think of it." I’ll give you a way.”

The matter was settled.

They spent the next two days practicing how to impersonate each other.

Lin Shui said that in order to prevent Bei Jingqian from becoming suspicious on her way back, they would start swapping roles from school that day, and they would also have to hide their birthdays from their parents.

They changed their clothes. My brother put on the cheap black sportswear his parents bought for him, and he put on his brother's white sportswear of good quality.

Everything was as he expected.

Lin Shan was so excited. He had liked Bei Jingqian for so long, but he kept hitting a wall in front of her. How could he not be excited this time?

My parents were so nervous. They had the same appearance and the same hairstyle and they were still acting out each other. They didn't see anything unusual in their nervousness and guilt.

Dad asked Lin Shui to go to the road down the mountain. They took a picture of him from top to bottom, pretending to be his brother and went down.

His mother held Lin Shan aside to watch. He, who was playing the role of the elder brother, was held by his mother's hand, and then he was pushed down by his mother unprepared. The only place where he died was "Lin Shui".

The moment he fell, he couldn't tell whether he was feeling excited or happy, resentful or afraid.

He died at his brother's feet, seeing his eyes wide open in horror.

It did not disappoint the careful preparations of parents. The book my brother read was also right. The ghost change happened very quickly between the twins.

Lin Shui changed into her brother's body and cooperated with her parents' behavior throughout the whole process.

He became the most favored son in the family, the only one, two in one.

He didn't let his parents observe him carefully or put his shoes on, and they thought it was because he had become a ghost.

They would gently comfort him, "Baby, it's not your fault. Don't feel guilty."

"Xiaoshan, your parents will still love you as always and will always be with you."

"You don't have to worry about anything, your parents will arrange everything for you."

After they had only one son left, they had enough money to renovate the house downstairs. They said, "Baby, this house is for you. The rent will be your living expenses in college. After you get married, you can renovate it again." We can always live upstairs and downstairs without being separated."

"It's really mine," he said.

They fed him, the ghost man, with their own blood. Every time he saw them drawing blood and feeding it to his mouth eagerly, his heart twisted with happiness.

He asked for more blood than he needed.

Blood represents life and unquestionable love.

While enduring the cancer in the blood vessels of this body, he drank the love in the blood vessels of his parents, often crying and laughing late at night.

Lin Shui's voice was the only one in the prison, and no one else spoke for a long time.

Lin Shui looked at his parents who were trembling in disbelief, and said with a smile: "What should I do, mom and dad, you personally killed your most beloved son, and you saw him struggling without even a second's pause. , immediately let go of his hand and let the people from the Ghost Bureau throw him into the incinerator."

"Madman! Devil!" Mother Lin finally collapsed, and she rushed to catch him like a madman.

You can imagine their collapse, and they can't take any more stimulation at this time.

Unexpectedly, Su Qingyu turned to look at Lin's father and asked in surprise: "What did you say just now? Others can't tell the difference between twins. Can't you, a father, tell the difference?"

"..."

This sentence is simply ridiculous and lethal.

Ning Feng and Ji Tang quickly went up and hugged each other, fearing that the parents would fight Su Qingyu.

While Ning Feng hugged Mother Lin and dragged her back, he looked at the ghost man Lin Shui complicatedly, "You know your brother's body has cancer."

The ghost man lowered his head. The water in his eyes disappeared at some point or where. He said, "I know, I know everything."

He knew that the disease in his brother's body was difficult to cure, otherwise his parents would not take the risk of changing his body.

He knew that he wouldn't live long in this body.

He also knew that if he changed into this body and pretended to be healthy, without treatment, he would be in more pain and his life would be shorter.

He knows it all.

Ning Feng couldn't help but asked loudly: "Since you know, why don't you run away! You can also find the Ghost Bureau! You can live a healthy life like this!"

Why did you choose such an extreme method, just to get revenge on your parents and brother?

He didn't answer the question.

Several teachers from the player's ghost bureau heard the news and came over. They praised the several interns and wanted to take Lin Shui away.

They knew that the ghost man would be put into the black car they had seen at the city gate and taken to a certain place. They also knew the outcome.

Of course, it is impossible for the Lin family's parents to escape unscathed, but their affairs are not under the control of the Ghost Personnel Bureau. They will be transferred to the corresponding agency to accept punishment.

When the two were about to be taken away, Lin Shui, the ghost man, said: "After I became a ghost man, I occasionally showed my true nature. I was gloomy and didn't want to talk. You still love me as always. No, in your case, I should say yes." , you also love your brother when he becomes gloomy and scary."

"It turns out that the preference is not because of our different personalities. Apart from our personalities, we are almost the same. Since you can also like gloomy temperaments, why do you prefer brother? Do you only love the symbol of brother? As long as he is 'brother'?"

Mother Lin was still trembling and breathing heavily, "We won't love you anyway! You devil! Devil!"

After the Lin family's parents were taken away, there was silence in the prison for a long time.

When the people from the Ghost Man Bureau were taking the ghost man Lin Shui away, Su Qingyu asked him: "Do you have anything else to say or any wishes?"

Lin Shui, the ghost man, pressed his index fingernail against the bloody hole on his thumb, "Can I see Bei Jingqian?"

Su Qingyu looked at Teacher Wang, who waved his hand, "Okay, stop talking, I'll give you half an hour."

Su Qingyu said to the ghost man Lin Shui: "You are a ghost man now. I will tell her the truth. She may not be willing to come to see you."

She is willing.

After hearing this, she didn't ask any more questions and got into their car without any hesitation.

When the ghost man Lin Shui was about to be taken away, she saw him for the last time.

She clenched her hand tightly and walked in front of him to look at him. He stretched out the hand with the bleeding hole and released her clenched hand.

He didn't say anything or make any other movements, just keeping his face covered with black veins hanging down.

Instead, Bei Jingqian held his hand with tears in her eyes and kissed his hole.

On the way to drive Bei Jingqian back, Su Qingyu thought of the last question the ghost Lin Shui asked his parents and asked Bei Jingqian, "Lin Shan and Lin Shui look exactly the same. Lin Shan looks more handsome and has a better personality than Lin Shui. Why do you like Lin Shui but not Lin Shan?"

Bei Jingqian looked out the car window and said, "Actually, Lin Shui and I met in junior high school."

They were not in the same class at that time and just participated in extracurricular activities together.

That day she wore a pair of trousers that she had worn for several years. The trousers were actually a bit too small, but they were her prettiest and most expensive pair, so she wore them all the time. Girls of that age love beauty and are sensitive and proud. heart of.

While playing goat jump, her pants got a rip.

Fortunately, the crack was not very big. She sat on the side with a red face, feeling restrained.

One of the boys called her behind a row of trees and tied a light yellow blouse around her waist.

Her roommates thought she had gone to buy a shirt and she didn't tell them what happened until she returned to the dormitory.

A roommate said: "I didn't notice such a short crack. How did he find it? He couldn't be a gangster, right?"

She said very firmly: "He's not."

Later, they went to the same school in high school, and more coincidentally, they were in the same class.

He often wore clothes worn by his brother. At first, they thought their parents bought the same clothes for the twins. Later, after his brother revealed it intentionally or unintentionally, they found out that he had been wearing old clothes that his brother didn't want, and he didn't even have any of them. new clothes.

Bei Jingqian smiled and said: "The shirt he tied on me is new, he bought it new."

She always remembered the way he carefully tied her shirt. His profile was thin, his eyelashes were long, and his eyes were very clean.

When she got off the car and walked towards the school, Su Qingyu looked at the back of the girl in the light yellow shirt and said to Bo Yunyi, "I forgot to ask her another question."

Bo Yunyi said: "You forgot to ask her, on Lin Shan Lin Shui's birthday, does she know all Lin Shui's plans?"

"Yes." Su Qingyu turned to look at him, "Do you still want to ask this question?"

Bo Yunyi said: "No need."
