Chapter 56

Chen Li turned around immediately. He felt that he would soon be close to the truth, but he seemed to be getting further and further away from the truth. But he was never a hesitant person. As long as there was a ray of light, he would not give up climbing up.

Moreover, this best-selling author with the pen name "Jiao" also lived in Xiangrong Lane, which was enough to prove something important.

Xiangrong Lane was very large, spanning three blocks, with more than 70 apartment buildings. The building where the writer lived was not in the same block as T's.

Chen Li quickly found the apartment building where the writer lived. Just as he quickly approached the corridor, a ball of fire passed in front of him and fell into the garbage pool beside him.

The waste paper and other combustibles in the garbage pool were instantly ignited, and flames shot up a few seconds later.

At the same time, he heard a few teasing laughs. He grabbed one of the boys who was about to run away, stripped off the boy's coat in two moves, strode over and used the coat to extinguish the flames, and threw the burnt coat back into the boy's arms.

"Fuck you! Who are you? You, you have to pay for my coat!" Seeing his coat being used to extinguish the burning garbage, the boy grabbed Chen Li's arm angrily.

Chen Li had no expression on his face, "Fuck you if you can find it."

After saying that, he shook his arm, and the boy immediately sat on the ground, with a look of fear on his face, as if it was hard to believe that this not-so-strong man in front of him had such strange power.

"Why do you want to light a fire?" Chen Li looked down at the boy.

"Because... fire is the only thing in the world that can only go up." The boy's tone was strange.

"Don't believe this nonsense." Chen Li said and turned to go upstairs.

Suddenly, a sentence popped up in his mind, which was very similar to what the boy said.

"Fire always burns upwards, it deserves to be worshipped by everything, even the mud under the ground", this sentence comes from - "The Missing Girl"!

Chen Li suddenly felt a chill in his head, as if cold water was poured over his head.

Mind control.

Another invisible means of rule different from violent suppression.

Mind control is divided into stages. It is almost impossible to directly and temporarily control a person with a healthy brain. But there are staged, permeating, slow and invisible mental invasions that most people cannot resist.

After the invasion, wait for an opportunity to control, like a virus.

RC has a mind control expert who taught them hypnosis. He said that hypnosis is the lowest and short-term mind control, while the highest level is group mind control, which takes a long time to lay.

Chen Li suddenly realized his recklessness, and he silently retreated from the narrow corridor.

When passing by the garbage pool, he saw that the burnt garbage in it was still emitting gray smoke, and the group of boys had disappeared.

He decided to start from the safest place, and he walked to the apartment where t lived.

T opened the door sleepily, and when he saw the person outside the door, he showed a lazy smile, "Boss, you are easy to make me misunderstood."

"If you want, we can also say it at the door." Chen Li was unmoved.

"Come in." T pouted and made way.

"Master Mei is not here."

"If he was here, how could I let you in?" T poured Chen Li a glass of breakfast wine.

"How is Feng Shui?" Chen Li asked.

T was slightly stunned, and his expression quickly returned to normal, "I am very stupid, and I learn very slowly."

Chen Li did not comment, turned the wine glass, but did not drink.

"Boss, you already know it, so I should thank you earlier." T said with a smile.

"Your fate, why thank me."

T sat down on a chair beside. In fact, it was not really a chair. He had built it himself with all kinds of colorful discarded advertising boards. It looked not very solid and was shaky. T's two feet were hanging in the air, also shaking.

"Does Master Mei have other lovers?" Chen Li asked.

"Ah?" T was stunned for a moment, but soon laughed again, "You wouldn't tell me if you have one."

"How is he to you?"

"He is the best person in the world to me." T's slightly immature face had a sweet smile.

"Oh." Chen Li swallowed the words that overflowed from his mouth. He was not a person who liked to criticize other people's private lives. Everyone knew and felt differently. What did the cold, warm, bitter, bitter, and bitter have to do with others.

"Boss, you seem to be very interested in him." T shook his legs, and didn't seem to worry about falling off the chair that was about to fall apart.

"He is the number one lobbyist in Central City. Many people are interested in him." Chen Li said lightly. "Are you interested in him or do you want his life?"

"It depends on his behavior."

T tilted his head. His behavior seemed childish, but his words were not innocent. "I love him very much, but I will not give up myself because of my love for him. Boss, am I selfish?"

Chen Li was silent for a moment, and he said to T, "That's because you know that he is also selfish."

"Maybe."

"Has he changed since he came back from abroad?" Chen Li continued to ask T for more information.

"Changes? Not much. If I have to say, he has lost a lot of weight and is not as strong as before."

"Will you betray me, or will you betray Master Mei?"

T was silent for a long time, as if it was a difficult question for him to answer.

Chen Li suddenly stood up from the sofa, pulled the black shirt out of his belt, and then unbuttoned his belt and trousers. T could still pretend to be calm, but as Chen Li moved, his expression became more and more nervous-a handsome guy undressing in front of him, anyone would be a little panic.

"Boss, you, I... I don't want to cheat for the time being." t smiled awkwardly.

But when Chen Li lifted the cloth on his abdomen, he quickly realized that Chen Li was not going to do anything dirty with him.

Chen Li's waist and abdomen muscles were tight, and his waist was narrow and slender, which was a perfect and charming figure.

However, his abdomen was covered with surgical suture scars, long and short, varying in depth, twisted and hideous, and it was impossible to count how many cuts there were at once, as if he was a rag doll that was torn into pieces and sewn again.

Chen Li's slender fingers slowly stroked those scars, like stroking the tombstone of a former comrade-in-arms.

t had no time to observe Chen Li's expression, all his vision was caught on those scars, and he couldn't move away even a little bit.

A few seconds later, Chen Li relaxed his five fingers that were clenching the corner of his clothes, and the black cloth covered the ugly scars again. He tied his trousers and said to T in a hoarse voice, "Do you understand?"

"Does it hurt?" T was a little dazed.

"It hurts a lot. There was not enough anesthetic at that time." Chen Li said lightly.

"Why did you survive?"

"I don't know."

"Did you volunteer, or..."

Chen Li's body shook slightly, but soon stood up straight again. His voice was still calm and stable, "I just want to tell you why I saved you that day. You can guess and make up the rest at will."

"I have seen everyone who has undergone this kind of operation die! Why did you survive?" T grabbed Chen Li's hand and asked loudly.

Two lines of hot tears welled up in his eyes. So many and heavy tears flowed out of his eye sockets, so wide that Chen Li thought of the dark blue river.

"I am different from others." Chen Li said. T's breathing stagnated for a second, and his movements suddenly became cautious.

T gently released the hand holding Chen Li, and then wiped the tears from his face vigorously. His fair skin was scratched red by him. He pulled up the corners of his mouth and showed a smile. The tearful smile made him look sad and charming.

"Yes, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from others."

Chen Li looked at T calmly, crying and laughing, without saying anything.

"I won't sell you to him," T paused, "I need to think about the rest."

"Okay, see you later." Chen Li nodded and turned to walk to the door.

T followed him to the door step by step. The boy's eyes were still red, like a little rabbit, but his expression had returned to his usual agility. At the entrance, he suddenly called Chen Li, his voice sincere and earnest, "Boss, you are a good person. If you find a partner who can trust each other, don't worry about anything. You deserve all the love."

"Thank you for your good words." Chen Li rarely refuted such words. He turned around and left T's apartment quickly.

At the moment when T's door was closed, he could no longer support himself and slowly sat down on the ground against the mottled and dirty old wall.

He leaned against the wall, hugged his upper body, and retched violently. It was as if a heavy hammer was hitting his stomach again and again. Soon, a strong smell of blood rose in his throat, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

The old wounds sleeping in his body were torn open by him, torn thoroughly, bloody, in front of a person who was not close to him.

"T, you must not let me down."
