"...Are you killing?" Bian Han was so shocked that he immediately let go of Zhou You.

Zhou You took a sip of cigarette slowly and suddenly burst out laughing. He couldn't stop laughing and even coughed.

"It's not the first time," he said, "I've killed people and buried corpses. Do you believe it?"

Seeing Bian Han being stunned, Zhou You laughed loudly.

After laughing enough, he raised his wet eyes, as if he had some true feelings mixed with them: "Bian Han, I really like you. I don't usually do what comes later, and even if I do it, it won't be so strong. But you are different. This is my gift. Thank you for opening up the 'sea area' to me, thank you for giving me a chance... Do you really don't consider me?"

Bian Han only felt that he was terrible and couldn't help but take a two-step look: "What are you thinking about?"

"Be my companion." Zhou You thought for a while and added, "Also, be my companion."

"Dream!" Bian Han answered immediately.

"...Is anyone who chose you?" Zhou You asked with a smile, "Who? Do I know you?"

Bian Han didn't say a word.

Zhou You nodded suddenly and realized: "I understand." He raised his hand and pointed out the window, "Is that the one? The little guide who played football with you? Your relationship is indeed abnormal."

Bian Han immediately became nervous: "Don't touch him."

"I can't touch him." Zhou You's face suddenly turned cold, "It's so fucking annoying. He was not interested in everything I said. The breakwater was too solid, without invitation or permission, and could not find the loopholes to invade. Even I could not enter anyone's 'sea area' at will. You don't have to be so nervous."

Bian Han breathed a little relieved, and still stared at Zhou You angrily.

"Why are you angry?" Zhou You shook the ash, and the ash fell on Bian Han's backpack. "You promised me to enter the 'sea area'. It hurts, but it's really good. Don't turn your back on others."

“There won’t be another next time.”

"Why? Are you afraid?" Zhou You looked up and asked, "Your little guide won't let me get along with you? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

He was surprised and funny: "You don't have to listen to him like this. The person you love is Meng Yu, that dancing little boy."

Bian Han replied sternly: "I'm not. I just went to the Children's Palace to practice football, and sometimes I just went to take a few glances."

His repeated denial finally changed Zhou You's mood. Complete indifference and cruelty swept past the young man's pretty face. The smiles that only floated on the surface were like a layer of water under the scorching sun, and instantly disappeared without a trace.

"So stubborn." He stood up, patted the ashes on his pants, and the unsmoked cigarette pressed on the table and put it out.

The moment before leaving, Zhou You suddenly grabbed Bian Han's shoulder, quickly leaned over, and bit his lips hard. "You will fall in love with Meng Yu." He smiled coldly, "You will let me enter the 'sea area' again."

Bian Han punched him, but his vision suddenly tilted violently, all the colors mixed together, and gradually turned into pure black.

The moment he opened his eyes, Qin Ge couldn't tell where he was. He saw the moon hanging in the dark sky, and a goshawk stretched his wings and flew over his head.

It was not until he heard Xie Zijing calling him that the feelings everywhere in his body came back in detail.

His hands and feet were cold, his heart was beating wildly, his ears were buzzing, his blood vessels were pounding, and his temple seemed to have a swollen ball buried in his head, which made his cervical spine stiff.

"Qin Ge?"

Xie Zijing's hands were very warm, but Qin Ge felt that they could not warm himself up at all.

The huge dawn flash butterfly waved his wings beside him, covering him with a faint fragrance of green grass. Qin Ge took several deep breaths before slowly calming down.

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Zijing asked.

"It's okay." Qin Ge slowly got up from his arms. This time he patrolled the "sea area", there was no previous severe physiological discomfort reaction. Qin Ge knew that the more serious discomfort had remained in his memory forever and could not be taken away. His legs were still a little weak, so he simply climbed to the edge of the roof of the building in a few steps and looked down.

Unconscious Bian Han frowned and was lifted onto a stretcher. Lei Chi realized the gaze above his head and looked up at Qin Ge: "How is it?"

Qin Ge: "...Come up, I want to tell you alone."

Xie Zijing touched his hair without saying a word. Qin Ge knew he was nervous, but he couldn't make any gaps to comfort Xie Zijing. While waiting for Lei Chi to come, he kept recalling everything he saw in the "sea" of Bianhan in his heart. There were many important information in it, and he could not miss it at all.

After Lei Chi came up, Qin Ge asked Xie Zijing to leave temporarily and not eavesdrop. Xie Zijing refused to agree at first, but Qin Ge repeatedly asked, so he walked away reluctantly. But even though he walked away, he did not go downstairs like others. Instead, he sat on the other side of the diagonal line and looked at Qin Ge and Lei Chi from afar.

Lei Chi: "What did you see?"

Qin Ge: "You told me that when you were investigating the semi-zombie-turned-human kin murder, you discovered a man named Zhou You?"

Lei Chi: "Yes."

He once again told Qin Ge about Zhou You. A guide in his thirties, his age was consistent with the last little guide who was missing in Cai Mingyue's infant murder case, and his surname was consistent. He was currently making high-end white noise earphones specially used for sentries. Because there was no obvious connection with the half-zombie Wang Zheng's bride murder case, Lei Chi's investigation of Zhou You was forced to stop, and he did not find any information related to Zhou You.

He even described Zhou You's appearance to Qin Ge.

Zhou You has a pretty face, but there is no particularly obvious feature on his face. In addition, there is indeed a certain gap between his teenagers and thirties. But Qin Ge felt that the guide in Bian Han’s memory was Zhou You, which Lei Chi had seen.

"What I haven't been relieved about is what kind of person the little guide in Cai Mingyue's case became. His mother died, and his father Zhou Xuefeng died, and he left the village and disappeared. I don't know if he was dead or still alive. But a special human... a guide, he has no identity, how can he gain a foothold in this society. The entire social system has very strict supervision of special humans, unless... he doesn't go to school, does not work, does not get married, has never been sick, and has never been to the hospital." Lei Chi said, "As long as he takes blood tests in the hospital, his identity as a guide will be immediately checked. It is impossible to hide for so long."

Qin Ge: "So... he occupied someone else's household registration and identity and has lived until now."

That's right. Qin Ge thought that when he learned in the hospital that his wife was a special human, Zhou Xuefeng was no longer willing to accept this newborn baby. After Cai Mingyue failed to successfully kill the child, Zhou Xuefeng left the hospital alone. Then his wife and the child were discharged from the hospital. The three of them left the home where they had lived and returned to the mountain village. According to Lei Chi's previous investigation, Zhou Xuefeng had always called the child "feed" and "freak". The mother was completely controlled by Zhou Xuefeng, unable to protect him or educate him. This child had no name.

He only knew that his surname was Zhou, but he had never given his father a name. Zhou Xuefeng did not admit that this was his child.

In the long indifference and violence that cannot resist, he resented his mother who could not protect himself, and was full of fear and reverence, murderous intent and love for his father who committed violence.

So he would not abandon the surname "Zhou". He might give himself a name to match "Zhou". This thing must have started after he left the mountain village - his father died, he was no longer under control, and finally got a proper amount of freedom. The first thing he did was to name himself. No one gave him an identity, he gave himself an identity. This is his symbol, his symbol.

After hearing Qin Ge's words, Lei Chi couldn't come back to his senses for a while. He never expected that he could dig out such a secret in Bian Han's memory.

He asked the werewolf Xia Chun on the walkie-talkie: "Has there ever been a person in the royal capital district called 'Zhouyou'?"

Xia Chun was stunned: "What's wrong with him?"

Lei Chi: "...What do you know about him?"

Xia Chun: "Bian Han is the clearest."

Lei Chi: "No, you talk first."

Xia Chun was silent for a moment and said only one sentence: "Zhou You is dead."

Lei Chi was about to continue asking, and among the underground and semi-zombie people guarding Meng Yu on the roof, a hunchbacked middle-aged man stood up.

His wrinkled skin was tightly pressed against the bones, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, but his expression was cold and neat. "Sorry, I didn't intend to eavesdrop, but I knew Zhou You."

The half-zombie man raised his hand and pointed to a place in the royal capital district: "His home is there."

Lei Chi and Qin Ge looked at each other: "Do you really know Zhou You?"

"Of course, we are friends." The half-zombie man replied calmly, "I'm talking about the dead Zhouyou, not the one who is still alive."

.

In the gap between two buildings, less than three meters away, there was a dilapidated small house. The house was divided into two floors, occupying this narrow headless alley. Zhou You and his father used to live here.

"I am an abandoned baby, but Zhou You is not." The half-zombie man brought them here. "I was born in the Wangdu District, and Zhou You was born in the 267th Hospital. When he was born, he could not move his legs and could not leave even when he grew up. It was about when I was six years old, Zhou You's father took Zhou You to the Wangdu District. He said that they were seeing a doctor and came from a long distance and borrowed a lot of money. But he couldn't see a good look, so he stayed in the Wangdu District, earned money slowly, and then continued to find a doctor."

Zhou You was not in good condition when she was born. Because her mother died of dying from childbirth, she was left with a disabled child. Zhou You’s grandparents once thought about not wanting him. They heard that the hospital had such a channel. As long as she gave some money, a doctor could help solve the problem.

But Zhou You's father refused. He took Zhou You to many places to seek medical treatment and asked him to study. Finally, the two of them came to the royal capital area to settle down.

Zhou You was a taciturn guide, and his father was also a guide. He was as taciturn as his own children and did not like to get involved in things. At that time, the royal capital area was very chaotic, and the black soldiers had not been officially established. The special humans of each camp did not interact with each other, but in the lowest world, all the "special" disappeared. Like any other place in the world, people interacted normally and took care of each other. The semi-zombie man knew Zhou You at that time.

"I had just had a fight with the underground child. I was beaten up so badly that I sat at the door crying." The half-zombie man looked at the house, "Zhou You leaned from the second floor and asked me if I wanted to go into his house and sit down."

The two became friends, and the half-zombie man realized that although Zhou You was a child who never went out, he learned a lot of things through his father and the Internet.

"He is very interested in white noise." said the semi-zombie man. "I don't know what white noise means to sentries and guides, but Zhou lobbies that using white noise can not only quietly affect people's temperament, but also make people's personality change. He is very powerful and good at these things that I have never heard of."

Lei Chi and Qin Ge both listened very seriously.

A colleague from the Criminal Investigation Department pried open the door of the house.

"Later, their family had a new guest." said the half-zombie man, "That person is just like me, not big. When he arrived at Zhou You's house, he was only eleven or twelve years old. He said he was a wanderer, and he had suffered a lot from Hubei to here. It was strange... Zhou You's father took him in for some reason."

The half-zombie man looked back at Qin Ge and Lei Chi.

"He asked the boy to call him dad," he said. "Because the child's surname is Zhou, they are a family."

Han Yi rushed into Qin Ge's brain from behind, and he was frightened by the fact that he was about to hear.

"A few years later, Zhou You suddenly disappeared." said the half-zombie man, "The little homeless man began to call himself Zhou You, and Zhou You's father also started to call him Zhou You."

He never saw his friends again.

"It didn't take long, Zhou You's father suddenly went crazy. He wandered on the street every day, saying he wanted to find his son." The half-zombie man's voice was low, "When he saw someone of the same age as Zhou You, he stood far away, and didn't get close, just stood and cried like that."

Lei Chi turned to Qin Ge and said, "You just said, the stove?"

Qin Ge nodded: "Stove."

Xiao Liu immediately took the people and tools into the broken house and headed straight to the stove in the narrow kitchen.

"Where is that wandering boy who claims to be wandering around?" Lei Chi asked.

"After Uncle Zhou went crazy, he disappeared." The half-zombie man looked at Lei Chi, "Many people knew that the previous Zhouyou disappeared, and a new Zhouyou appeared. But everyone didn't say anything. I looked for the leader of our half-zombie man, and he went to find the leader of the sentry guide, but they didn't believe me. And at that time, people disappeared every day in the Wangdu District, and people died every day, children and old people, too many. Originally, the garbage gathered in the Wangdu District, one more or one less, actually there was no difference. I... I gave up later."

When it was dawn, the stove was dismantled.

The seemingly sealed stove is hollow inside. A body that has turned into white bones is curled up in the stove. The legs are obviously different from other bones in the body due to poor development.

"There are signs of being hit in the head," Xiao Liu said, "that place is fatal injury."

Lei Chi asked the half-zombie man: "Where is Zhou You's father? Are you still alive?"

The half-zombie man hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I saw it two years ago. He thought Zhouyou was hidden by underground people, so he couldn't find it on the ground. He always wanted to enter the settlements of underground people. I have not seen him in the past two years."

Qin Ge reminded: "Try to find Zhou You's father. He is the guide. I can patrol his 'sea area' and find out what happened back then."
