However, the male protagonist loves the villain

Chapter 73

Pei Lin has seen photos of seth in recent years.

In the photo, the man has long brown hair.Always dressed exquisitely, mingling in the social occasions of various celebrities, holding a glass of red wine gently shaking, elegant and cunning.

He walked through the glass door, expecting to see someone like that.

However, the real Huo Xiuxun who was taken into custody was much thinner than in the photo, and his long brown hair that was originally tied up was also cut into a short cut. , frowning and eating the prison lunch without image.

"..."

In an instant, many strange and complicated emotions emerged from the bottom of my heart, sad and gratifying mixed with funny, it was indescribable.

At least, this person has earnestly abided by the agreement to eat well and live well.

What's more, he never knew that he cut his hair so short to make his facial features more sharp and beautiful.Much neater than when I had long hair.Even if the prison shaving technique is not good, the uneven cut looks like a dog gnaws, but it looks better than the decadent one that has been left for a long time.Why did I never think about asking him to cut his long hair before?

"..."

Pei Lin had a headache.Ever since he fell into the sea, his external injuries have almost healed, but it seems that there has been some serious problem in his mind since then, and all kinds of messy thoughts are crazily appearing all day long.

……

Pei Lin's first interrogation of seth was very unsuccessful.

Because the other party is crazy.Yu Yu Xi Xi.

It was completely in a crazy state like a trapped wild animal, roaring and rushing over regardless.However, the handcuffs were welded to death under the interrogation table. Even under the violent impulse, they were deeply cut into the flesh, but they still couldn't touch Pei Lin.

The police officer in charge turned pale with fright, hurriedly called additional staff and medical staff, and immediately escorted Professor Pei away.The man behind him struggled desperately and hoarsely, and when Pei Lin looked back for the last time, the man had already been pinned to the ground.

Only the chest rose and fell violently, and the rough voice was stained with intermittent, piercing crying.

The suspect was emotionally unstable, and the people from the third prison advised Pei Linshou to leave first.But Pei Lin didn't leave immediately, but stood quietly behind the single-sided glass wall for a long time.

After being injected with a sedative, the people inside finally calmed down.

Panting, stopping, one sound after another, broken and staccato.He curled up in a ball with his back to the glass wall, aggrieved and lonely, sobbing in a low voice.

Pei Lin continued to listen quietly.

There is a scene in my mind that has never existed but is very familiar, and it is also a low sobbing sound, some fragile, soft, and cute little creature, aggrievedly buried its head in his chest, tears flowed from the hot eye sockets It oozes out until it hits the skin with a warm afterglow.

The incomprehensible strange feeling came up again.He even couldn't help stretching out his hand in the void.

He grew so big, indifferent and alienated.

He has never hugged anyone, and all the small animals run away when they see him, and he rarely touches the soft fur.

So why, does he have this memory of hugging a particularly soft and cute little creature?

He even felt that he should dote on that little creature very much, and he was not willing to let him be so wronged at all.He had never been so wronged before.

……

Pei Lin kept thinking on the way back.

Outside the window of the dark glass, the shadows of the green willows on the embankment are constantly receding.It's very strange. Recently, many things that should be unfamiliar have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. For example, today, although it is the first time for him to detour to walk on this embankment, he still has the feeling that he rode a motorcycle on a similar embankment when he was young. The vague illusion of going round and round.

Shaking his head, he closed his eyes.

The red eyes of Seth looking at him in prison appeared again before his eyes—pain, grievance, collapse, shock, and many complicated emotions that he couldn't understand.

He had seen those amber eyes of pain and despair, when he was shot and fell into the sea.It's just that he always thought it was just a messed dream of his.

There's no way seth will be on that sea.But could he have gone?

...Pei Lin went to the third prison again, three days later.

Huo Xiuxun's mood was always unstable, and the third prisoner originally wanted him to wait a week before going.But since the last time we met, every time Pei Lin closed his eyes, he thought of Seth's reddish sunken eyes because of haggard and tired.

Police officer Jia was transferred from the armed police force the year before last to protect Professor Pei's safety.

Of course, the third prison is actually very safe. The chains that control the prisoners are all welded to the ground, and the heavy iron table weighs hundreds of kilograms on it. The most vicious prisoners have never broken free from it.Police officer Jia came to accompany him this time mainly for the sake of saving face. After all, one of his scientists was frightened when he came here last time, so they are naturally sorry.

The relationship between the third prison and the first one has always been very good. He also heard that this Professor Pei has made great achievements, and he may be directly promoted to two or even three levels.

Officer Jia had never met Professor Pei before, and he thought that the "Professor Pei" he was about to meet would be a serious and capable middle-aged uncle.

In the end, the person who came was unexpectedly young, even more cold and handsome.This appearance is in the same room as the suspect surnamed Huo that he put into prison, and the style of painting is not serious no matter what, it looks like two male stars are filming an idol drama about police and gangsters in the strictest detention center in China.

And this show has a plot. I heard that the two of them were classmates in high school, but one became a policeman and the other a gangster.

Interrogation by acquaintances proved useless, too.

Because after Professor Pei sat down, no matter what he asked, the suspect remained silent as if he didn’t hear him, and only stared at Professor Pei with a pair of amber eyes with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to swallow you alive It's like eating alive.

Professor Pei is patient.

If the suspect didn't answer, he continued to jump to the next question in a flat tone.Police officer Jia's master is the old police officer who was in charge of interrogating Seth before, and he knows very well that this person is determined to non-violent non-cooperation.His master is old, and he has to sacrifice several nights to fight with him, but in the end there is no result, it is uncomfortable to think about it.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Professor Pei still has patience, but Police Officer Jia is on the verge of running out of youthfulness—this man!She simply refuses to accept discipline and refuses to enter. It seems that she is really not afraid of sitting in prison!

"Professor Pei, it's better not to interrogate today."

"Go back. Anyway, I think this person is not listening to your question!"

The interrogation room of the third prison has no glass, and the interrogator and the suspect are separated by a table.Just as Police Officer Jia was so angry that he grabbed Pei Lin and was about to leave, another pale and slender hand grabbed Pei Lin's wrist.

shit.

Officer Jia: "Let it go, let it go, let it go!"

He was careless! ! !

In case the criminal scratches the professor, he made a big mistake today!Speaking of which, the suspect didn't want to die, the iron shackles on his wrists were completely embedded in the flesh, and he was bloody and bloody, and he didn't make a sound.As for Professor Pei, as a national civil servant, he was so defenseless and didn't even have a basic sense of safe distance, so he put his hand so close to the suspect!

The situation was critical, so Officer Jia pulled out his baton and wanted to open the suspect's hand.

But he was stopped by Professor Pei.When Professor Pei stopped him, he didn't look at him with his eyes, but just kept staring at the suspect's scarlet and glaring wound.

"I'm fine, he's fine."

Officer Jia: "..." With his vicious look, it doesn't look like he's useless?

"Don't go."

After many days, the suspect finally spoke in a rare voice, with a hoarse voice, "Stay with me for a while."

"What do you want me to say...I say."

"..."

Having said that, when the interrogation started again, the suspect continued to stare at Professor Pei with red eyes and said nothing.

This kind of silence lasted for another half an hour. Officer Jia complained frantically in his heart, what about the agreed cooperation?

Then Professor Pei stopped talking.

Pei Lin closed the portable notebook, and began to look at the suspect silently. The cold gray eyes under the silver-rimmed glasses looked straight back, cold and calm.In the end, the suspect was forced to look away first. "you……"

The suspect's voice trembled slightly, and he was extremely difficult, as if he was afraid of hearing the answer to the question, and even closed his eyes.

"...Yes, are you lying to me?"

"It's not true, it's to win me, so you lied to me from beginning to end, right?"

At least Police Officer Jia didn't understand this sentence at all.He turned his head to look at Professor Pei in doubt, but saw the same frowning expression on Professor Pei's cold face: "What do you want to express?"

Huo Xiuxun didn't speak.

There was a stream of light in his eyes, as if he had been in a daze for a while, his expression was sluggish, but he seemed relieved.It was hard to tell whether it was sad or happy, but in the end, he lowered his head and hunched over the table like a tired elementary school student.

Officer Jia: "..." Now, isn't the suspect crying silently?

But why?He didn't understand this sudden emotional change at all, so he could only look at Professor Pei again, but he found that the expression on Professor Pei's face was also very strange.

He frowned and looked at the suspect, as if he felt sorry for an injured puppy who whined by the side of the road, then stood up, and stretched out his hand as if to touch the suspect across the table?

Danger!Police officer Jia rushed to a big stop where his duty lay.

……

The half-day interrogation was finally safe and sound.

But also to no avail.The criminal suspect is too difficult to deal with, even the master and a professor Pei can't deal with him, the psychological quality is too strong.

As a result, Officer Jia came to work the next day, but heard that the suspect was ill due to psychological problems.

It is said that after Professor Pei left yesterday, the suspect stayed alone for an hour or two without saying a word, and then suddenly fell to the ground.

The reason why he said it was a psychological problem was because he couldn't find out the cause of his illness.

But the fever persisted for two days, and no medicine was used.

The hospital was inevitably a little anxious, and even Chu Xun was worried: "What's the situation, don't let me die for no reason, then we will lose a lot!"

In fact, Pei Lin did not have the authority to visit the sick prisoners of the third prison at will.

But after all, he is about to be promoted, and in the future he will at least be on an equal footing with Chu Xun, and the third supervisor must give him great face.So of course he received him politely, and was still accompanied by Police Officer Jia on duty.

Even when Huo Xiuxun was lying on the hospital bed, one hand and one foot were imprisoned on the bed close to his face.

He was still awake when Pei Lin walked in, his cheeks were flushed with fever and he whispered softly, his pale lips trembled slightly, his brows were tangled in discomfort, and his eye sockets were slightly moist.

This time, before Police Officer Jia came to stop him, Professor Pei's cold fingertips had already covered the man's hot forehead.

The touch of the skin is as expected and familiar.

Even the contours of the browbones, even the hollows of the eye sockets.Pei Lin's fingertips slid gently across his cheeks, and he was almost certain that he had an unusual relationship with this person. He touched this face, whether he remembered it or not—he had a forgotten memory, and Or maybe he's really out of his mind.

In any case, at this moment, many fairy tales also flooded into my mind. "Sleeping Beauty", "Beauty and the Beast", and he is such an indifferent and unromantic person, all these also make him feel extremely strange. ——

That's how it's written in fairy tales.No matter how serious the injury, no matter how strange the disease, a kiss will be enough.

With one kiss, all bad spells can be undone.

The thorns fall away, Sleeping Beauty wakes up, and the beast turns into a handsome prince.

……

In his stories, the plot seems simpler than a fairy tale.

He just touched the person on the bed, and the magic was successfully broken.At least Seth did open his eyes, obviously for two days in a row, the doctor said he was helpless.

He was a little dazed, and smiled vainly.

Then he murmured hoarsely: "The summoning spell... has come true.

"..."

"My Professor Pei... didn't turn into a vampire, nor did he turn into a zombie groom, he just changed back to his original appearance."

"But it's okay, it's okay."

"It's enough, it's good enough, it's better than anything else."

"It's okay to forget."

"I can... don't mind... start over, try again. I don't mind."

He smiled brightly, but a ray of light slid down his thin cheeks and landed on the white bed sheet.He continued to murmur and say something, his voice getting weaker and weaker, until he fell asleep again with tears in his eyes.

……

A day later, Huo Xiuxun's fever completely subsided.

Began to continue to cooperate with the interrogation.

The system of the Temple of Philae collapsed, and a large number of related systems, businesses, records and data under the name of seth were involved in the black domain.However, if the country wants to continue to trace the transfer routes of some properties and the location of criminals, it is very necessary for Seth to provide technical support for re-mining these data.

From this perspective, Yiyi is not only willing to deal with leniency and agree to let the criminals "take the credit for the crime", but also needs, and even urgently needs, his cooperation to quickly dig out all the necessary information.

In this way, it seems that the criminal is like a walking human-shaped treasure house, where rare goods can live.

Under such circumstances, Pei Lin could think of the way ahead for Huo Xiuxun - "reform" well, receive ideological education, and see a psychiatrist regularly.After serving his sentence, he will be a regular staff member of the confidential unit, and if he has super skills, he can be promoted.It's exactly the old way of Pei Lin's boss, Chu Xun.

Chu Xun used to be a lawless hacker, similar to Huo Xiuxun.

Those who were later arrested by the state from overseas and reformed were nominally sentenced to more than ten years in prison.

As a result, within a few years, he became a leader in one place.Although he is a leader who wears electronic shackles under his suit pants, his position in the first place is extremely stable.

Pei Lin understands that some people are just talented, and social rules sometimes have no way to deal with such people.

In fact, what Huo Xiuxun committed was worse than Chu Xun's.

But compared to Chu Xun, who suffered a lot from the agreement, Pei Lin was convinced that Seth knew exactly what he was eager for and what he was willing to exchange for.It's really a cat who knows how expensive he is, and has determined the conditions that are most beneficial to him, and never backs down even half a step.

Pei Lin even had an illusion, as if there was some traitor in one of them, and this criminal had revealed the truth.

"Yes, of course," Huo Xiuxun looked at him with amber eyes.

"Of course someone taught me how to deal with the interrogation, and someone told me where the bottom line is."

"It was because he liked me that he told me in another world."

"Professor Pei, guess who this person is?"

Pei Lin: "..."

This joke is not funny at all.

But unfortunately, this joke is very likely to be true!It's very likely that he really did have a lot of things that happened in Philae Temple world and seth that he doesn't remember.

……

Pei Lin knew that he could only choose between rationality and sensibility to believe in one.

Rationality is because he believes that he is a serious and upright man, and there is absolutely no reason to bow his head to criminals.

As for sensibility, he looks at the person in front of him and feels distressed time and time again.I want to reach out and touch and hug.

It was a feeling he had never felt before.

It seems that the stone heart that has been stiff for more than 20 years suddenly softens, a bunch of unbelievable feelings.Unfamiliar, annoying, confusing for no reason, and addictive.

"..."

A few days later, Professor Pei and the prisoner Huo Xiuxun finally negotiated all the conditions.

As for the official documents, Chu Xun, the leader of the first place, needs to lead the association to sign.The weather was fine that day, and the suspect, who had clearly negotiated the conditions, went back on the spot: "Director Chu, I want to add something."

The accompanying police officer Jia was silent and irritable on the spot.

Chu Xun, the leader of the first department, was calm and reasoned with the suspect slowly:

"You also know that if you go deep enough into what you committed, you won't be able to get out for the rest of your life. It's only six years, isn't it short enough? If you try harder to reduce your sentence, maybe you'll get out in three years. In these three years, you won't be released." Not familiar with prisons, but in one place, a courtyard, a garden, a swimming pool, a gym, and even a shooting range, isn’t that free enough?”

"Mr. Huo won't be whimsical, expecting to stay out of prison for a whole day, right?"

Huo Xiuxun: "I don't mind serving my sentence in one place."

"It doesn't matter if it's three years or six years. I don't care if you give me an extra sentence."

When he said that, it was obvious that he wanted something else, and he was bound to get it.

Chu Xun smiled: "So, what do you hope one place can provide you?"

Huo Xiuxun: "A gift."

Officer Jia: "..." Such an arrogant criminal, a gift?It's the first time he's been a police officer and heard that there are gifts for prisoners in prison!

"If you sign the contract, you will get a mascot as a gift. There is one mascot, Professor Pei, and I want it to be written in black and white in the contract."

Officer Jia: "..."

"?!?!?"

On the other hand, Director Chu, as expected, was used to the big wind and waves, and continued to keep his face unchanged: "This is not acceptable. Professor Pei is a backbone, not a gift mascot."

Huo Xiuxun: "I can 'add money'."

"Hand over all the technology of the Philae Temple system, what does Director Chu think?"

Chu Xun's eyes lit up slightly.

It was the first time in Police Officer Jia's life that he saw the scene of "selling teammates" with his own eyes, and the leader of a department did not hesitate to sell.

No, wait a minute, can this be signed?This contract is invalid, our country prohibits human trafficking!

Chu Xun: "Okay, then our cooperation intention has been reached. One will seriously do Professor Pei's ideological work. But it must be said first. As far as I know, Professor Pei has very high requirements for ideal types. "

Huo Xiuxun: "Director Chu thinks that with my appearance and ability, after my cleansing, do I fit Professor Pei's ideal type?"

Chu Xun smiled: "It seems that it has been planned for a long time."

……

Only police officer Yu Jia was in a mess.

The suspect had been plotting for a long time, and Professor Pei was in the jaws of a tiger.After thinking about it, no matter how he looked at Professor Pei's cold appearance, he was elegant and upright.Such a serious and good person has been plotted by criminals for a long time?

Professor Pei, danger.

It's a pity that the interrogation is over, and Professor Pei has little reason to come to the third prison.How can he remind him to pay attention to safety?

As a result, I never expected that we would meet again within a few days.

The reason is that the suspect, Seth - fell ill again.

This time it was a stomachache, and I curled up in a ball on the hospital bed.Pei Lin went to see him. He was being forced by the doctor to eat porridge to nourish his stomach. The little dinosaur had always been picky and picky, but he didn't like to eat these tasteless things the most, and he looked irritable and painful.

But when he saw him coming, he gritted his teeth and tried to be brave: "Don't worry, I won't die."

Pei Lin knew there were some things he shouldn't say.Just like when he saw a criminal, words like little dinosaur shouldn't have flashed in his mind.But he couldn't hold back the urge to speak.

"Stomach hurts again," he sighed, "Did you eat cold food behind my back again?"

It's extremely irresponsible for him to say such things even though he obviously doesn't have any relevant memories.Huo Xiuxun stopped eating the porridge and ignored him, just curled up in the quilt and kept crying and refused to come out.

Pei Lin: "..."

He had no choice but to peel an orange silently outside.

Full of citrus aromas.

It took a long time before Huo Xiuxun came out of the quilt again.They had some friendly, polite adult chats, and he told the "future colleague" about the layout and relationships of one place, and asked him how his new dorm would be arranged.

When Huo Xiuxun talked to him about the previous confrontations, how did he break many of Pei Lin's attacks.

It can be said that there are many common languages ​​and smooth communication.

But he could still see that the other party was hiding a lot of grievances.The adult dinosaur had grievances but didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand from under the corner of the cup, making tentative physical contact.

Pei Lin didn't dodge.

He didn't think he should get away.

……

Too many unreasonable places, too many possibilities that are ready to come out.

For the first time in Pei Lin's life, he thought that he should trust his intuition more than his reason.But intuition... what would it tell him?It was already late after he came back from the hospital. After he finished washing, he was in a daze while fiddling with the ring on his hand in the room.

The aggrieved and sad eyes of "Little Dinosaur", as well as his calling him "'my' Professor Pei", many words that he wanted to blurt out, many uncontrollable impulses, and unexplainable emotions.

He asked Seth directly, what happened to us in that world, can you tell me?

But Seth just held his hand and refused to let go, and asked him directly with amber eyes, will you believe me if I tell you?

……yes.

He closed his eyes, puzzled.According to Alvin Yang's experience, he immersed himself in Philae's world twice, but he never recovered his memory.

How to do.

He closed his eyes again, and the universal chair under him turned around a few times, and where he stopped slowly, he was facing the laptop on his desk.

intuition.

Pei Lin turned on the computer.

It seemed that there was some thin thread pulling him somewhere.He lay in bed for more than three months. After waking up, he was busy recovering and engaging in interrogation work. However, because he had not yet officially returned to work, he never checked his work mailbox.

The inbox has long since exploded with piles of emails of all kinds.

One by one, roughly scrolling down, he seemed to know what he was looking for.

He found it.

That was a very strange email.

The sender is himself, and the recipient is also himself.But the time to send the letter was during his coma in the hospital.He checked the sending address again, and the address came from the Philae Temple that no longer existed.

That was the self in the Temple of Philae, writing a letter to himself in the "real world".

The title is - For a Ghost, a Zombie Groom, a Vampire, or Professor Pei who has a [-] in [-] chance of being alive.
