After Bao Ping finished speaking, he placed the lighter on the table.
Chen Zhi suddenly found it very interesting. He didn't expect Mu Hyuk to behave in such a delicate manner, which didn't match his deep and serious face at all.
Chen Zhi picked up the lighter and took a look at it. It was not a valuable lighter, and it didn't look like something that King Bao Ye of the Northeast should wear on a daily basis.
This is a somewhat outdated paint lighter. It is black on the outside, but now, most of the black paint has peeled off, revealing the mottled silvery white inside.
Chen Zhi remembered that more than ten years ago, when he was in junior high school, he met some senior classmates who bought this kind of lighters to show off in front of girls. Then they imitated Young and Dangerous and turned them back and forth in their fingers when lighting cigarettes.
I am very handsome.
But then it became outdated, and the price at that time seemed to be only a few dozen yuan.
"When I first came to the organization, Mu He gave it to me when I smoked for the first time. At that time, hehe~~",
Baoping's eyes suddenly flashed, as if he remembered a lot of things, and those things seemed to stir up a lot of emotions in him. Finally, he suppressed these emotions and wiped the black lighter with some faded paint on his body.
Sassafras, then put it in your arms.
"That year, I was only 13 years old. I was hunted down and defected to the organization. I didn't know anyone in the dark city of Xiqi King.
But soon, another child was sent, that is Mu He. The adults in the city told me at that time that the two of us would live together in the future.
Muhe is different from me. He talks more than me, is good at communicating with people, and can often go to places that I can't go.
But one day, my adoptive father suddenly called me over and said that he would recognize me as his adopted son and would help him with some things in the future.
But before that, he wanted me to do something to let me know what kind of role I would play in the future.
Then that night, Ji Yang took me out, locked me in a room with an adult man alone, and gave me a knife. That night, I used these hands to kill the first person in my life!
I still remember that that person was two heads taller than me and had injuries on his body, but he was still much stronger than me.
I struggled with him desperately, using up the last bit of strength in my body. I stabbed many holes in his body, and finally he bled to death. But before he died, he stared at me with his eyes, as if he wanted to kill me.
It’s like remembering the underworld…”
"13 years old?"
Chen Zhi looked at Bao Ping in surprise,
"Yeah, 13 years old! A little too young, right?",
Bao Ping smiled lightly and turned to look at Chen Zhi:
"So, don't think that everyone's life is the same, that everyone has their own destiny, and don't think of me as a too good person.
Do you still remember what it looked like when you killed someone for the first time?"
"I……",
Chen Zhi closed his eyes now and immediately remembered Tony's face, as well as the days after he beat Xiao Cong to death for the first time, and the feeling in his heart at that time.
"You feel nothing after killing someone, just like an animal",
Bao Ping still smiled lightly, and his tone was very calm when he said these words, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"That night, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep. My hands kept shaking. I always felt that the man I killed was standing at the door and watching me.
I remember that I felt like crying at that time, and crying actually felt very good, as it could release what was in my heart, but I don’t know why? I didn’t cry in the end.
Later, my adoptive father came to see me that night. He opened the quilt and saw me trembling all over. He suddenly became furious and beat me hard with a whip.
I still remember the whipping at that time. Not a single piece of flesh was left on my body, but I still didn’t cry! But my heart slowly became hardened for some unknown reason.
My adoptive father pinched my face with his hands, looked at my face carefully, and then said to Ji Yang beside me,
"That's him!"
Then they left, leaving me alone in the dark room.
At that time, I was lying on the ground unable to move, and I couldn't even turn on the light. I clearly remember that I only had one feeling at that time, and that was that I wanted to die.
Later, Mu Hyuk came out from nowhere. He must have been hiding outside the window just now. He saw it when my foster father and others beat me.
He was two years older than me. After he helped me up, he secretly took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and gave them to me. He had stolen them outside. He also stole two lighters and gave me one as a gift.
He said to smoke, it won’t hurt anymore. He had seen on TV before that when a man smokes, he becomes a real man. A real man is not afraid of anything!
So I started smoking from that time on, and I have never been able to quit smoking. I think it was also his fault."
"What happens next?"
Chen Zhi listened to Bao Ping talking about these things casually and imagined what he looked like at that time.
"And then……,
Haha..., and the next day, Mu Hyul was taken away.
I heard that he was sent to the best school by his adoptive father, and he rose to prominence all the way up, doing clean and honorable things, and took a completely different path from me.
But I was different. From then on, more and more blood stained my hands. Eventually, I no longer felt anything and could eat even next to the corpse.
Maybe it's like what Mu Hyuk said, after a man learns to smoke, he becomes a real man! And a real man has nothing to fear.
"what about now?",
Chen Zhi glanced at Bao Ping and continued to ask,
"You should be in contact all the time."
"Of course contact...",
Bao Ping suddenly laughed:
"After this kid rose to prominence, he became much more difficult to deal with than before.
When his adoptive father is around, he often asks him to do something!
He was always pushing back and forth, fearing that he would cross the line and affect his future. Moreover, every time he helped someone, he would ask for help and let him take a lot of money.
Now that my adoptive father is gone, I can no longer control him.
And since last year, he has said that his current status is free and he has no obligation to do anything for the organization.
And I am different from my adoptive father. We are equals. If we go to him in the future, we will have to pay double the price!
Tmd, this guy!
It has always been a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction, and when it comes to things, it is smarter than a monkey! When you get some free time, you should really clean up."
"leader!
Actually, I have always wanted to ask you something...",
When Chen Zhi said this, he suddenly looked at Bao Ping seriously, staring into his dark gray eyes,
"Chief, I've always wanted to ask you, are you and Mu He friends?"
