Chapter 343 This is not what I want
"Play a game with me."
Jin Xing uttered a word. The next second, Shen Cheng felt the sky and earth change color. Everything around him disappeared completely. Only he was left there, swallowed by the deep darkness.
At the same time, Jin Xing also disappeared.
Seeing Shen Cheng and Jin Xing disappear on the spot, the two shadows and a group of desires who were chasing them couldn't help but stop their actions.
They all lost their independent consciousness and stood there in a daze, having lost their target.
But soon they turned their attention to each other and labeled each other as enemies.
Although the two shadows have no independent consciousness, they can make corresponding judgments and behaviors based on the environment.
Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, the two shadows quickly merged into one, and then began to split again, constantly creating new shadows. The strength of each shadow was 90% of the previous one. In the blink of an eye, countless shadows appeared in the air.
Of course, a group of desires did not know what fear was, and they immediately rushed up to engage in close combat with the shadows.
A huge melee broke out in the sky above this desolate wilderness.
On the ground, Ning Qing had just arrived here. He was able to find the exact direction only after hearing the huge noise when Shen Cheng self-exploded.
But after arriving here and looking up, Ning Qing was completely dumbfounded.
Countless Shen Chengs were fighting in the air, and it was impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake.
Why the internal strife?
And they are fighting among themselves?
Shen Cheng was hit from the air by the enemy and fell not far from Ning Qing, like a meteorite falling to the ground, causing an earth-shaking impact and cutting off the entire mountain.
Before the smoke and dust had cleared, the knocked-down Shen Cheng soared into the sky again.
Seeing this scene, Ning Qing, who originally wanted to stop the melee, had to stop. With his strength, he could not even rank among this group of Shen Chengs. Let alone stop the melee, it was hard to say whether he could protect himself.
Ning Qing remembered what Yan Yin had said before, that he wouldn't be able to help even if he came over. Although this sentence sounded harsh, it was an irrefutable fact.
……
While there was a fierce fight outside, Shen Cheng was trapped in a dark place, which made him extremely confused and alert.
He knew that this must be Jin Xing's doing, because he finally said to Shen Cheng, "Play a game with me."
Shen Cheng didn't know what Jin Xing was going to do, so he could only take it one step at a time.
After all, my desires are being controlled by someone else, and since I am powerless to resist, I can only enjoy it slowly.
As Shen Cheng was alert, the darkness around him gradually disappeared and the light reappeared.
The surrounding environment gradually became clear, and Shen Cheng found that he was no longer in the wilderness, but on a busy and bustling street.
Across the street was a five-star hotel, which was decorated with lights and red lanterns. There were countless luxury cars parked at the door. It was obvious that a wedding banquet was being held there.
Shen Cheng found that his clothes were also changing rapidly, turning into dirty rags, and a foul odor filled his nose.
Am I becoming a beggar?
Shen Cheng was surprised, and then he found that his memory was blurring rapidly, and another strange memory that did not belong to him was emerging.
He immediately realized that this was Jin Xing's method, as if he wanted to turn himself into an ordinary beggar.
Do you want me to experience the miserable life of a beggar?
With doubts, Shen Cheng's memory completely disappeared, and he became a beggar on the streets.
Shen Cheng is a beggar who was abandoned in an orphanage with his twin brother since childhood.
The two brothers stayed in the orphanage until they were about six years old, and were then adopted by two different families.
Shen Cheng was adopted by an ordinary family. His adoptive father was an alcoholic and was fond of domestic violence and gambling. His adoptive mother was an ordinary woman who was unable to bear children and worked alone to support the family.
Shen Cheng was forced to do heavy housework since he was a child, and was often beaten and scolded by his adoptive father. With his adoptive mother watching coldly, Shen Cheng spent a rather miserable childhood. After he grew up, he dropped out of school to work, married and had children at a young age, but was still exploited by his adoptive father and mother, and his life was miserable.
I thought the hard times would continue like this until my adoptive father suddenly owed a huge gambling debt and was drowned at the bottom of the river along with my adoptive mother.
His wife and young son also disappeared, leaving Shen Cheng alone with a huge debt. His work, family and relatives all disappeared overnight. Shen Cheng became mentally ill and became a beggar on the streets.
While wandering, Shen Cheng accidentally discovered his twin brothers who had lost contact with him since childhood.
The twin brothers were adopted into a wealthy business family and spent a happy, carefree childhood. Their adoptive parents' business grew bigger and bigger, and within a dozen years they became the richest people in the local area.
As the twin brothers of the richest man's family, they enjoyed all the glory and wealth. Not only were they successful in their careers, they also married the daughter of another wealthy family.
Hearing that the twin brothers' wedding would be held today, Shen Cheng rushed over specially.
Soon the car to pick up the bride appeared at the entrance of the hotel.
The groom got out of the car surrounded by a crowd of people and entered the hotel with the bride who was also dressed in a gorgeous dress.
Shen Cheng stared at the scene intently, his eyes almost bleeding.
An extremely strong feeling of jealousy appeared in Shen Cheng's heart, as if countless insects were gnawing at his heart.
It is obvious that both of them are orphans, both of them are twin brothers who look exactly the same, and both of them were adopted.
But why are their lives so different?
Why did he have to suffer so much and eventually become a beggar, while his brother was able to become the son of the richest man and enjoy all the glory and wealth?
Shen Cheng had thought about looking for his brother to reunite with him, but when he met his brother in private, his brother beat him up and kicked him and drove him away.
The wedding banquet lasted for a long time and lasted until late at night.
Shen Cheng took advantage of the security loopholes in the hotel to sneak in and hid in a corridor.
Shen Cheng didn't know why he came in. If he was discovered, he would definitely be beaten up.
Maybe he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to take one more look.
Not long after, he heard the sound of a door opening downstairs. Green Qiuqiu looked down the stairs and saw his twin brother pushing the door open from outside.
The groom was drunk and staggering. When he came in, he sat down on the ground, untied his tie with his hands, and leaned against the wall to rest.
He actually ran here to avoid drinking, and soon fell into a deep sleep, not even noticing someone approaching.
Shen Cheng stared at the twin brother with a gloomy face, staring at the face that looked exactly like his own.
The original strong jealousy surged up in my heart again.
Shen Cheng suddenly remembered an incident when he was young in an orphanage. Originally, Shen Cheng was supposed to be adopted by a rich man, but his twin brother was afraid of Shen Cheng's adoptive father with a face full of flesh, so he begged Shen Cheng to switch places with him. Out of care for his brother, Shen Cheng agreed, and so his brother became the one adopted by the rich man.
"You took away the life that originally belonged to me. You took away everything that should have belonged to me."
Shen Cheng gritted his teeth, the jealousy in his heart almost overwhelmed his rationality.
He reached into his clothes and quietly took out a knife for self-defense.
Being a beggar is not that easy. Shen Cheng had been driven away and beaten by other beggars many times before, so he had to use a knife to defend himself.
Thinking of his own tragic experience and miserable life, and then looking at the bright and handsome twin brothers in front of him, Shen Cheng's hand holding the knife went from trembling to firm.
He not only wanted to kill people, but also wanted to replace them.
Now is a godsend opportunity. Below this staircase is the back door of the hotel, where a garbage truck is parked.
As long as we kill the twin brothers here, destroy their faces, and throw them into the garbage truck, no one will care about the life or death of a beggar.
He will replace his brother and become the son of the richest man, enjoying the wonderful life that should have belonged to him. "Go ahead and take back everything that belongs to you."
The jealousy in his chest seemed to take shape, whispering in Shen Cheng's ears, full of temptation.
"His life should have belonged to you, but he shamelessly robbed it for more than ten years. It's time to take it back."
"Do it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Under Ji Ji's instigation, Shen Cheng's face became slightly ferocious. Holding a sharp knife in his hand, he approached step by step.
The brother lying on the ground did not notice the approaching danger and continued to sleep soundly.
Shen Cheng had already raised the knife in his hand above his head, and his eyes turned red.
"Do it!"
Amid a jealous roar, Shen Cheng stabbed the knife in his hand fiercely.
Snapped!
The knife scratched his brother's ear and stabbed into the wall behind him.
Shen Cheng gasped and slowly pulled the knife back.
"Why?!"
Jealous' voice was filled with surprise and anger, not understanding why Shen Cheng suddenly changed his mind at the last minute.
"Because this is not what I want."
Shen Cheng suddenly put away the knife, turned around and walked down the stairs.
"So what do you want?"
"You wouldn't understand."
Shen Cheng walked down the stairs quickly. His originally slightly hunched body gradually straightened up, and even his steps became lighter.
But as I walked, the environment of the stairwell suddenly changed. It was no longer a staircase, but a front yard of an apartment, and a door suddenly appeared in front of me.
Shen Cheng also changed from a dirty beggar to an office worker with a briefcase.
The memory of the beggar in my mind is disappearing rapidly, replaced by an ordinary but beautiful memory of an office worker.
He had excellent academic performance since childhood, graduated from a prestigious university when he grew up, joined a large company, and became a middle-level manager.
He owns a house and a car, a gentle and virtuous wife, and a pair of lovely and smart twin children.
Although I am not rich, I can be considered a winner in life.
"Why are you dazed?"
Shen Cheng smiled with some confusion, as if he had turned into a beggar in an instant.
He inserted the key in his hand into the lock, turned it twice and pushed the door open.
The lights in the apartment were a little dim, and there was no usual aroma of food that his wife would cook and wait for him to return.
He put down his briefcase, then looked around in confusion but couldn't find his wife and children, so he got up and went upstairs.
As soon as he reached the second floor, Shen Cheng trembled all over and stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.
I saw his twin children lying in a pool of blood, already dead. A man was raping a woman on the sofa in the living room. No, it was a female corpse with her eyes open.
The murderer was still holding a knife. He seemed to be too engrossed and didn't even notice Shen Cheng coming back.
Peng!
The unsuspecting murderer was hit on the back by a chair and fell off the sofa.
Shen Cheng, looking like a madman, immediately pounced on the murderer and wrestled with him.
The murderer was already very tired and was no match for Shen Cheng, so he was quickly subdued.
Shen Cheng grabbed the knife and pressed it against the murderer's neck, but he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he yelled at the murderer: "Why!?"
During the scuffle, he had already recognized that the murderer was his old classmate and good friend Jin Xing.
The two went to high school and college together, and even joined the same company after graduation. Their friendship is as deep as that of brothers.
Shen Cheng never thought that his friend who was as close as a brother would do such a thing.
Jin Xing was a little flustered at first, but soon calmed down and sneered, "Because I'm jealous of you!"
Shen Cheng looked incredulous: "What did you say?"
"Because I'm jealous of you, don't you understand? Why do you have a better family background than me, better grades than me, better looks than me, and you want to be better than me in every way, take away the woman I love, snatch away the performance that belongs to me, and become my immediate boss and good friend? Bah!"
Jin Xing spat at Shen Cheng, then yelled at him: "So I want your family to be destroyed, and I want your wife and children to be separated, hahahaha."
Shen Cheng was still in a state of confusion. He thought that Jin Xing had some deep hatred towards him, but it turned out to be just jealousy.
Soon, Shen Cheng's eyes turned blood red, and his expression became completely distorted. Intense anger burned his body and mind, drowning his reason.
He suddenly raised the knife in his hand high.
"kill him!"
The anger was as real as substance, roaring in Shen Cheng's ears.
Shen Cheng had almost no hesitation and stabbed down heavily with the knife in his hand.
"what!"
Jin Xing let out a terrified scream, only to find that the knife had passed by his ear and stabbed into the floor beside him.
Jin Xing was stunned on the ground, his lower body suddenly felt hot, and his urine wet the floor.
"I won't kill you myself, but you will be punished by the law."
Shen Cheng pulled out the knife from the floor and then staggered to his feet.
"why?"
Anger roared in Shen Cheng's ears: "Why don't you kill him yourself?"
Shen Cheng shook his head: "This is not what I want."
The angry voice was filled with surprise: "What exactly do you want? What do you want?"
Shen Cheng shook his head again, not sure whether he didn't want to say it, or even he himself didn't know.
Jin Xing, who was lying on the ground, suddenly pounced on Shen Cheng, trying to launch a sneak attack.
Bang!
Shen Cheng raised his foot and kicked him in the chest, sending him to the floor.
After a while, the alarm sounded outside the apartment.
Shen Cheng looked up and found that the environment had changed again and the shrill ringing sound was fading away.
