Wan Yang laughed dryly, and walked up to Cao Er unhurriedly. He put his hands on the table, his eyes were piercing, but there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth: "I haven't seen you for so long, don't you miss me?" ?"

Cao Er, who was not mentally prepared at all, hid back, stuck his whole body on the back of the chair, looked terrified, completely forgot to protect himself, and stammered: "You, you, you are a human or a ghost!"

"What do you think? Do you think I'm a human or a ghost?" Wan Yang leaned over, pressing his hands on the table for support, his entire upper body above the table, feeling oppressive. With strangely colored eyes, "Still, you have ghosts in your heart."

"You, you, I..." Cao Er was so nervous that he couldn't speak for a while.

His eyes were erratic, and finally passed Wan Yang's sight, and shouted outside: "Come on! Come on! Drag this man out for me! Who let him in!"

Wan Yang straightened up, looked down at the cowardly Cao Er who had lost his previous energy and looked like a mouse, and said in a deep voice, "Stop screaming, no one will come."

Cao Er didn't believe it, and continued to shout: "Come on! Get this man out!"

But there was no noise outside, not even a mosquito.

Before coming, Wan Yang had already put them all down, and Guo Xi was also guarding outside, so it was impossible for someone to come in to help him.

For some reason, probably because he was in a hurry, Cao Er suddenly stood up, swept away his weakness just now, walked up to Wan Yang, pointed at him, and said provocatively, "Old man, what do you want me to do?" It’s so big, it didn’t die!”

Wan Yang, who didn't take him seriously at all, smiled contemptuously: "Yeah, thanks to my fate, otherwise, how could I see your inhuman appearance now? It really opened my eyes. vision."

In Wan Yang's impression, Cao Er is so radiant and full of energy, and with his tall and strong figure, he gives people a very stable feeling.

But now, he looked at Cao Er's sunken eyes surrounded by blue and purple, which seemed to be caused by taking some kind of medicine for a long time, giving people an illusion of madness, and sighed deeply.

Cao Er burst out laughing suddenly: "Hahahaha! I'm neither human nor ghost, what about you? I'm defeated, forget how I was kicked out in the first place? Do you want me to help you recall?"

"But after all, you still have to thank me." Cao Er poked Wan Yang's chest hard, "I gave you a splendid and unprecedented funeral, and the whole city mourned your death .”

Cao Er raised his head and sneered, spread his hands, admired everything around him, turned around in a circle, then looked at Wan Yang, and quickly approached Wan Yang's face, he gritted his teeth and said, "You should be a dead man now! "

"You shouldn't have come back."

"You don't have to try to take anything away from me!"

"You can't take it away!"

"They all belong to me!"

Cao Er nodded his chest and emphasized: "It belongs to me!"

Wan Yang looked at him coldly, recalling the various visions that Guo Xi had described to him about Cao Er before, his emotions were moody, cloudy and sunny.

Wan Yang, who had prepared his speech a long time ago, didn't know whether to continue talking.

In my impression, Cao Er is a very proud person like him. He is an outstanding person with more than 80% of the three genes of D, E, and S (doctor, engineer, and scholar). He is very powerful and the two have a good understanding.

More than ten years ago, when Cao Er was the deputy city lord, Wan Yang had imagined countless times that if one day, he could no longer be the city lord, Cao Er would definitely be the best candidate.

It's just that they didn't expect that the two gradually had many differences on the issue of governing Sanctuary City.

The biggest thing is that the relationship between the two has broken down. The direct trigger for Wan Yang to leave Sanctuary City is that Wan Yang wants to understand the principle of gene classification in human body, so as to break the restriction and let those who have passed through without differentiation can live .

But Cao Er believes that the existence of the principle of genetic elimination must have its value, and there is no need to try to solve this problem. It is better to think about how to deal with the Cretan creatures outside when there is that time.

Compassion for the weak is an act of stupidity. In this world, those people should be eliminated.

But after all, Wan Yang was still the lord of the city at the time, so naturally he would not listen to Cao Er's persuasion, and genetic research was also in full swing.

After that, the relationship between the two became more and more tense.

One day later, when Wan Yang was still worrying about the slow progress of genetic research, Cao Er suggested that Cretan organisms could be used for experiments.

In this way, the experiment process can be speeded up, and at the same time, the research on Crete's biology can be further deepened, which can kill two birds with one stone.

Seeing all the advantages and disadvantages he listed, Wan Yang, who was stuck in the bottleneck and made little progress, agreed.

Since Cretan creatures were to be used for experiments, someone had to capture them, and the assassins were the first to bear the brunt of this task.

But who would have thought that Cao Er would take advantage of Wan Yang's concern about the lives of his subordinates, secretly bribe the assassins, let them kill their companions, and exaggerate the danger of going out.

Wan Yang didn't want to see those people die, but he also hoped that the experiment would make some progress, so he naturally led the team to hunt Cretan creatures outside.

However, after a fruitful outing ended, what was waiting for him was that his identity of being able to return to the city was maliciously erased.

And those assassins who went out with him were bribed by Cao Er to kill him.

In desperation, Wan Yang beat them to death and injured them in order to protect himself, and fled.

Then there was the next thing, he met Meng Fanyi.

But now, seeing his appearance, Wan Yang just wanted to say that he deserved it.

But fortunately, it's not too late, Wan Yang is back, he wants to make Cao Er's crimes public, and let people know how despicable the city lord they once loved was.

Wan Yang stepped forward, looked straight into his eyes, and said very firmly: "The City of Sanctuary has never belonged to you, nor to me, it belongs to everyone, everyone who lives here, we just play a role Leadership can make it better and let everyone live a better life in this world."

"And you are not worthy at all."

Cao Er seemed to have heard something extraordinary, and suddenly covered his ears, like a frightened rabbit, and shook his head: "I don't listen, I don't believe it, you lie, you lie, it belongs to me, it belongs to me !"

Wan Yang watched his eyes widen, shaking his head as if in a state of insanity, stepped forward and grabbed his collar: "Cao Er, I say you are not worthy of being a city lord."

"Then do you deserve it?" Cao Er suddenly raised his head, and the strange light in his eyes was more active than before, "You don't deserve it either, you are too hypocritical, it is because of your hypocrisy that you ended up like this, don't think you are so good Great, at your connivance, have you ever seen how crazy the vagabonds are? You haven't."

Cao Er snorted, and didn't intend to take the collar away from his hand, so he raised his chin, his eyes were full of hatred, and pointed to himself: "Why haven't I seen it before? It's because of me, me, I will help you clean up." That mess, day after day, year after year, you're still helping them, trying to keep those bugs alive."

"Hehe, it's ridiculous. Do you think you are the sun? You want to shine on the earth."

Wan Yang also wanted to let go of him, but his hands didn't seem to listen to the brain's command, he still grabbed his collar and glared at him: "What's wrong with me helping them, it's all life, why can't they survive eighteen years because of genetic problems, Have you ever thought about it? Have you put yourself in their shoes? What if you did too? Would you not want to live?"

Cao Er suddenly calmed down, and patted his hand holding his collar: "What about you?"

Wan Yang nodded: "I thought about it, I thought about it before, I think about it now, and I still think about it in the future."

"So I'm back."

Cao Er lowered his head and remained silent for two seconds, then suddenly raised his head, grabbed his collar instead, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said through gritted teeth: "I can't stand your pity for the weak! Hypocrisy! Don't think I don't know. What have you done, those so-called voluntary experimenters, are they really voluntary? Ah? Really?"

Those ancient memories that Wan Yang didn't want to recall flooded into his mind along with the voice—"help me", "please", "let me die", "ah—" "I will let you live" "City Master, all the experimental subjects..."

Roaring, blood, self/mutilation, rage...

For a moment, Wan Yang's head was like a mess of paste, disturbing his life.

"enough!"

"do not talk!"

Wan Yang closed his eyes and didn't dare to think about it. He raised his eyes to look at Cao Er, his hands gradually closed, and his chest heaved more and more. He only felt an inexplicable emotion flashing through his brain. Tone, as if something got into the brain.

That feeling was very strange, he could see and hear Cao Er talking non-stop, but he just couldn't seem to refute.

Wan Yang opened his mouth and breathed heavily, as if this was the only way he could continue to live. After an unknown amount of time, an evil idea appeared in his head: kill him, he must die.

Looking at Cao Er's wild smile, Wan Yang's eyes suddenly changed, and under the light that flashed past from a certain angle, there was a faint strange color.

Like a very hungry wolf, he locked his prey in the dark and bit down on his neck.

Wan Yang hardly thought too much, his fierce eyes suddenly became blank, his pupils dilated slightly, he pulled out his hand, and without waiting for the other party's reaction, he tightly strangled Cao Er's neck: "Go to hell!"

Cao Er's struggle and shouts were right next to his ears, but Wan Yang didn't seem to hear or see, and there was only one word in his mind: kill.

Wan Yang wanted to take back his position as city lord.

That can only let him die.

Even though he had already made up his mind before coming here, and he had full confidence to let Cao Er abdicate, but at this moment, from the moment Cao Er said those words, his calmness had gone away from him.

Wan Yang let go of his hand little by little until Cao Er stopped struggling, his brown pupils began to dilate, his body became limp, and he slid down unsteadily.

Cao Er fluttered to the ground like a feather, unable to fly again.

Wan Yang looked at his hands and then at Cao Er, unable to believe what he had just done.

For a moment he wanted to see if the person was really dead.

But in the next second, something seemed to be controlling him, and the panic and remorse flashed across his face, replaced by an unusual calmness.

He looked around and saw the burning oil wax on the table, walked over and pulled out a lighter from where Cao Er was sitting.

Wan Yang grabbed the report card on the desktop, lit the lighter, and burned a corner of the paper. Seeing that the flame was getting stronger and stronger, he raised his hand and threw it on Cao Er.

Then he ignited all the flammable things in the office.

Wan Yang walked to the door and put his hand on the handle which was getting hotter. He saw that Cao Er's body was in flames and there was no room for change, so he put the genetic mask on his face again.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he pressed down the handle calmly, and the next second he withdrew his smile, and ran out in a panic, shouting as he ran, "It's on fire! Come and put out the fire!"
