Madness of the Heart

The silent shady unfolds slowly--

Huying lost his parents since he was a child, and relatives had no choice but to adopt him. They gave him a shelter from the wind and rain, but never gave him the care that a child deserved.

The only one who really loves him is his three-year-old sister Hu Yao. However, Hu Yao himself is a sick seed, and hospitalization is commonplace, especially in the cold winter. In Huying's memory, the family had never celebrated the Spring Festival steadily, because every year on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, Hu Yao must be admitted to the hospital because of a small cold and a severe fever.

Huying almost never had a good meal when he was a child. But he doesn't blame his adoptive parents, let alone Hu Yao. The child of the poor was in charge early, and he knew that all the money from the family was used to treat his sister. As long as the sister can get better, even if he is allowed to drink porridge every day, he will be happy.

When Hu Yao was in good condition, she occasionally took Huying out to play. Children from other people's homes can run wild all over the city. They can only go to small parks, small squares, and food courts not far from home.

Hu's parents never gave Huying pocket money, but Hu Yao saved some money. Whenever she goes out, she doesn't buy anything for herself, but instead buys everything for Huying.

At the seafood wonton shop in the food court, Hu Yao always buys a big bowl of wonton, three or two, with seaweed and dried shrimp skin, plus two fried eggs.

"Sister, you eat too." Hu Ying handed the spoon to Hu Yao.

Hu Yao smiled and shook her head, "I can't eat outside, you forgot?"

Huying nodded, and ate her head sullenly.

He knew that it was not that Hu Yao couldn't eat outside things, but because he didn't have that much money, Hu Yao still wanted to buy him other things.

He is good at running and long jump, and he has to report many events every sports meeting, but he only has a pair of white net shoes for 5 yuan. Hu Yao saved money one year and secretly bought him a pair of sports shoes for 80 yuan.

That year, 80 yuan was not a small amount of money.

In winter, he originally wore the Qiuyi long trousers that Hu Yao eliminated. Hu Yao tried to save, and finally collected enough money to buy him a new Qiuyi and long trousers.

Hu's parents knew, they scolded Hu Yao, yin and yang scolded Hu Ying as a burden. Hu Yao guarded the lake shadow, "My younger brother grows up, if his classmates know that he wears my autumn clothes and long trousers, he will be laughed at."

During the Spring Festival that year, Hu Yao had a serious illness and was almost unable to save it.

Huying waited anxiously outside the ward, not daring to leave or closing his eyes, for fear that when she fell asleep, her sister would be gone when she woke up.

On the fourteenth of the first lunar month, the new year was almost over, and Hu Yao finally turned from danger to peace. The parents were exhausted physically and mentally, and both went home to rest. Only Huying remained in the hospital.

He didn't want to leave Hu Yao for a moment.

"Xiao Ying." Hu Yao was extremely pale, like a jade that might break at any time. She stroked Hu Ying's hair lightly and pulled out a faint smile, "I'm going through it again."

"Sister!" Hu Ying cried bitterly on the side of the bed, "Sister, I must make a lot of money from now on and treat you! Wait for me, I will definitely make you healthy!"

"Thank you." Hu Yao smiled softly, "but Xiaoying doesn't have to work so hard. My sister wants to see you happy."

"But I want you to be healthy!" Huying said stubbornly.

Happiness and health are not originally a pair of antonyms, but in a special family, the two seem to be a contradiction that cannot have both.

After entering puberty, Huying's facial features develop and his body develops, becoming the recognized "school grass" in the school.

Hu Yao seemed to be getting better in those two years. Hu Ying said: "Sister, how about you say I went to the entertainment industry?"

"Entertainment circle?" Hu Yao was very worried. "Don't you all say that the entertainment industry is a big dye tank? Xiao Ying, let's forget it, your grades are also good, and you will study hard and get into a good university in the future."

"But being a star comes with the most money." Huying said: "When will I have money to treat your illness when I study for college entrance examination?"

Hu Yao sighed, "Don't worry about me..."

"Who can I worry about if I don't worry about you?" Hu Ying frowned. "Sister, you are my most important person. I hope you will get better every day."

Hu Yao failed to stop Huying. Soon, Huying left the campus and signed in Fangchi Entertainment.

The entertainment industry does make money fast, but only the people on the top of the pyramid can make big money.

Huying's appearance is outstanding, but what it lacks is an opportunity. However, he first entered the society and was in his mid-teens. He did not know much about people. The contract was signed by Fang Chi. A few months after entering the company, he gradually learned that Fang Chi had no resources and connections, and he was good at giving young people. People draw cakes.

Without a job, Huying became anxious.

Some of the male and female artists who signed the contract were "sent" to the "golden master" by the agent, which Huying instinctively felt disgusted. But after a long time, seeing those people get resources through "sleeping together", I felt a little shaken.

His goal has always been clear, to enter this circle is to make money. If it has always been like this, what would he do to treat Hu Yao? If one day Hu Yao becomes ill, he needs hundreds of thousands, millions, where will he find so much money?

At the most shaken time, the agent introduced another "golden master". He had already agreed, but that day that a well-known actor in the circle was being taken care of was suddenly exposed by the paparazzi.

Hu Yao also saw the news, and quickly called him, seemingly to chat a few words, but at the end the topic shifted to the male star. He heard Hu Yao say in her usual gentle tone: "Xiao Ying, don't you To do that kind of thing, you have to cherish yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Huying struggled all night, and finally told his agent that he was not going.

The "Golden Master" is not a terrible figure, but Hu Ying turned his back on him and offended the agent. The agent no longer mentions the "Gold Master" and threw Hu Ying to Man Lin, who had fewer channels at the time. .

Low-level artists can only rely on themselves to pick up the job. Since Huying gave up the shortcut of relying on the "golden master", he began to add a variety of groups. Wherever group performances or gangsters were needed, they would recommend themselves, and contact them wherever there are commercial activities.

Chi Yan's situation is similar to his.

In the past few years, Huying has accumulated a certain amount of savings, but it is far from enough. The entertainment industry has been updated too frequently. "Little fresh meat" is constantly emerging. Once when he was shaving in the mirror, he suddenly discovered , I am not young anymore.

Continue to waste, his situation will not be better than it is now, only those children under the age of 20 will be kicked out.

"Xiaoying, don't do that kind of thing, you have to cherish yourself."

Hu Yao's words were still in his ears, but he couldn't help but think about the worst result.

Over the past few years, he has cherished himself, but what is the result?

In this circle, there are too many people with outstanding appearance, and people like him who have no backers have no day in their lives.

The razor fell into the pool, and Hu Ying stared at the person in the mirror for a long time, and finally turned away without a word.

He began to consciously search for the "golden master", but perhaps there was a "wrong deed" of letting pigeons out in his early years, and Fang Chi never considered him when he sent people to the "golden master".

When he was eager to change the status quo, Hu Yao's condition suddenly worsened.

Hu's parents have taken care of Hu Yao for more than 20 years, and they are already exhausted and numb. As the saying goes, "There is no dutiful son before the bed for a long time", this sentence may also be changed to "No mother before the bed for a long time." As early as more than two years ago, when Hu Yao entered the intensive care unit again, Huying heard Hu's parents say in private-forget it, let her go.

"I pay!" Huying looked at her adoptive parents indifferently, "My sister has taken care of me since I was a child, and I will be responsible for all her medical treatment and medication in the future!"

When Hu Yao was discharged from the hospital, all his savings had been spent, so he borrowed a sum of money from Chi Yan to make up the shortfall. After that, he worked hard, paid the money he owed Chi Yan, and gradually gained savings.

But now, his savings are not enough for Hu Yao to be hospitalized again, and Chi Yan can't spend more money.

Without money, Hu Yao can only wait to die.

How to do?

Hu Ying was anxious, hating herself for not making plans early, and hating herself for being expensive. Now if there is a "golden master" who can see him and is willing to give him money, he can do even the cheapest things!

The most frequent contact between Fang Chi and the "gold masters" was his former agent. He lowered his mind and planned to find that agent and begged him to give himself another chance.

But as he left the apartment, an unremarkable black car parked in front of him, and a man in a Zhouzheng suit got out of the back seat with a smile on his face and asked him if he was interested in meeting President Yang of the Fengtu Group.

At that time, he still didn't know who was President Yang, but the name of Fengtu Group was like thunderous.

In the entertainment industry, he knows too well how the high-ranking rich are approaching the "little lover", and after a little thought, he understands which gentleman he might have been admired by.

The man smiled very decently, "Yang always learned that you need help recently. Coincidentally, one of Yang's strengths is being helpful."

Having said that, Hu Ying couldn't understand it. He was just wondering, why did this manager Yang appear in such a timely manner?

But he didn't have time to think carefully, let alone investigate, Hu Yao was at stake, only money could save Hu Yao.

He got in the car and was taken to a private villa on the outskirts of the city, where he met He Yang for the first time.

Compared with a secretary in a suit and leather shoes, He Yang, who wore a loose sweater and slacks, looked very casual.

But Hu Ying sensed a trace of danger.

He had seen a lot of people, bad and vicious, but no one gave him a similar sense of danger.

For a moment, he felt that a demon was watching him.

"Mr. He." He forcibly endured the indescribable fear and stood in front of He Yang vigilantly.

"I heard that you occasionally go to'Storm'?" He Yang said, "I like to play horror games?"

Huying was surprised. He did go to "turmoil" several times because of too much pressure, but why did He Yang ask such questions?

"Do you want to join my game?" He Yang approached step by step, "Join, I will immediately let your sister enjoy the services of the best medical team. If you win the game and want any resources, I will give you all."

The best medical team-Huying can't say no with this condition alone.

"I'll participate!" He suppressed anxiety and fear, his voice almost trembled, "As long as you can save my sister, I will agree to anything you want me to do!"

He Yang squinted his eyes halfway, and a smile appeared at the end of his eyes.

Hu Ying always remembered this smile, gloomy and full of bewilderment, leading him to the end of the world.

"Mr. He, what game are you talking about?" he asked.

"Don't worry." He Yang waved his hand, "Go back and accompany your sister first, she needs you more than I do. When will she get better, you will come to me again."

When being sent away from the manor, Lake Shadow felt like she had a dream.

My sister is saved, but what about him?

He is not so simple as to think that He Yang is a philanthropist. He is very clear that the "game" He Yang said is definitely not a secret room game he knows. He is using his future life to continue his sister's life.

But he has no other choice.

He entered the entertainment industry in order to make money. So many years have passed. Without a backer, he is still an unknown person. If the status quo is not changed, his sister will only have a dead end. If the change is slow, the sister will still not survive.

He can only fight with himself.

All the affection he felt in his whole life came from his sister, he couldn't just watch her sister leave him in pain!

After more than a month of treatment, Hu Yao's condition stabilized and he was able to be discharged from the hospital.

On the day when he returned home, Hu Yao asked, "Xiaoying, where did you get so much money?"

"I have a job." Hu Ying coaxed: "Sister, I will be busy in a while, and may not be able to visit you often. Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Hu Yao believed it, with a soft light in her eyes, "What kind of work is it? Is it filming?"

"Yeah!" said Huying, "but I can't tell you for the time being, maybe you can see me on TV next year."

He Yang's secretary is like a precise mechanical clock. Soon after Huying settled down with Hu Yao, he appeared in front of Huying again, "Yang is always pleased."

Hu Ying came to He Yang's manor for the second time, and in the garden, he actually saw Sheng Zhi, a little artist who was also a 180-line artist with him.

A year ago, they even ran the dragon set in the same ancient puppet show. Sheng Zhi gave him a very good impression. He was delayed by the protagonist and didn't even catch up with the meal. Sheng Zhi also helped him receive a portion. Box lunch.

Although he never saw each other again, and the crew did not have their turn at the party, he always remembered this lovely-looking big boy.

He didn't understand why Sheng Zhi was here.

I don't even understand why Sheng Zhi, who was originally sunny and cheerful, looked sad at this time, as if he had suffered a great disaster.

"Okay, everyone is here." He Yang said, "Zhou Shan, tell them about the rules of the game."

Zhou Shan is the secretary.

Hu Ying looked at him suspiciously and heard him say a series of sentences and nouns. There was a sudden "buzz" in his head, and he stood still as if stupidly.

They were all words he knew, but he didn't seem to understand a word.

The surrounding was quiet for a while, and suddenly, Sheng Zhi knelt on the ground, crying trying to catch He Yang's trousers, but he was kicked away lightly.

"Mr. He, please let me go, I didn't know it was this kind of game!" Sheng Zhi kept kowtow, embarrassed with no dignity.

"But when you accepted my help, you already promised, no matter what kind of game it is, you will participate." He Yang smiled and raised Sheng Zhi's chin on his toes. "Now I want to regret it... it's too late. "

Sheng Zhi trembled all over, "Mr. He, you can let me go. I don't even dare to kill animals. How can I kill people?"

kill!

The lake shadow is an exciting spirit.

Those unintelligible words finally crashed into his nerves, and he began to digest them word by word.

Yes, murder.

The game He Yang said was a killing game, and he and Sheng Zhi were the pawns in this game.

They will be thrown into a place similar to a deserted village, where either you die or I die.

He finally understood why He Yang was so interested in his visit to the "Storm" secret room club. It turned out that He Yang was looking for someone who was familiar with secret room games.

He Yang wants them to fight each other and offer a visual feast.

Hu Ying suddenly felt absurd. Before, because he had no job, he participated in a live werewolf killing on impulse. At that time, he was holding an inflatable mace. He "killed" a civilian girl under the moonlight. The next day Was eliminated by everyone's vote. Now, if he wants to survive, he must participate in He Yang's game and kill Sheng Zhi, who had worked with him.

A month ago, he had no choice. Hu Yao was dying. Only when He Yang was promised could Hu Yao have a ray of life-he thought, Sheng Zhi should be the same.

A month later, he still had no choice. How could this behemoth of Fengtu Group be touched by ordinary people like him? Participating in the game, he may die in the game, without participating in the game, Zhou Shan can now deal with him silently.

After struggling at the bottom for more than 20 years, he knew very well what the fate of ants was like.

Sheng Zhi was still crying bitterly, Hu Ying forced himself to calm down, the thing is now, the only thing he can do is to accept the reality and fight for himself and his sister.

"Mr. He." He stared at He Yang's eyes, "If I win, can you abide by the agreement and make me popular?"

Sheng Zhi was surprised: "Hu Ying?"

He Yang smiled, "I have always been generous to winners."

The game is scheduled for a week later, and the location is a village outside the country.

During this week, Hu Ying spied a world that was so dark that he could not imagine.

Among the celebrities, He Yang is not the only one who is keen to watch real people fight. They have formed an extremely niche circle. Only the **** and cruel visual impact can satisfy them.

This seems to be the continuation of the "gladiator" of the ancient West and the "cricket fighting" of the ancient East in modern society.

People are not people, people are just worms that can be crushed by one foot!

He Yang is not the first time to find someone to participate in the game. He Yang was a frequent visitor in the circle before returning home. In some countries, this game is even protected by law. As long as you can get the money, you can buy it. To legitimate participants.

However, He Yang has only recently begun to reach out to artists.

Hu Ying asked Zhou Shan, and Zhou Shan told him that because Mr. He felt that an amateur looks too bad, although the cruelty of the game is up to the standard, there is no aesthetic feeling at all.

Hu Ying smiled bitterly. It turned out that she and Sheng Zhi were selected because of their difficulties and their faces better than those of ordinary people.

Seeing that he was very "active" about the game, Zhou Shan also invited him to watch the game videos of the "predecessors".

Without exception, the videos were extremely brutal and **** images. He forced himself not to blink, so that those images were deeply burned into the pupils of his eyes.

Then tell yourself-survive.

Before the game started, Sheng Zhi had already collapsed. So Huying actually won very easily.

Like Sheng Zhi, Hu Ying has never killed any animals. When he inserted the knife into Sheng Zhi's throat, he felt the world spin and it was difficult to breathe, as if it was him who had been killed.

Sheng Zhi's blood sprayed his face. Sheng Zhi's hand held his arm in vain. He knew that at the last moment of his life, Sheng Zhi was still saying: "Please, let me go..."

He cried in his heart, but let you go, I was the one who died.

Sheng Zhi gradually stopped moving, the light in his eyes went out, but the blood hole in the neck still nourished a **** foam from time to time.

The image of the lake knelt beside Sheng Zhi as he died, thinking, looking, breathing... everything seemed to be still.

He knew that he had become a murderer.

Because of Sheng Zhi's "cowardice", the game is more than aesthetic but not cruel. He Yang wasn't very satisfied, but he was "magnanimous" and didn't blame Huying.

"What resources do you want?" He Yang asked in a good mood.

"The Red Dust and the Rivers and Lakes." Hu Ying said muran: "Then hold me popular."

"How red is it?"

"famous."

He Yang did what he said. After returning to China, Huying had the resources, money, status, and fame that he had exchanged for Sheng Zhi's life. He was really popular, to the point where he was unimaginable in the past.

And Sheng Zhi, who died abroad, disappeared as if he had never existed before.

He Yang easily wiped out the traces of a person.

Money goes to Huying's account like running water. In the past, he was struggling for resources, but now others begged him to show and receive advertisements. In just a few months, he had earned enough money for Hu Yao to stay in the best hospital for a lifetime.

But he could no longer get off He Yang's boat.

He Yang occasionally asked Zhou Shan to pick him up to the manor, watch other people's game videos with him, and hire a foreign coach for him to help him improve his physical fitness and endurance, and teach him the most effective assassination method.

He Yang seems to have deliberately cultivated him to be a killer, and then puts him into the next game.

What is the difference between him and those crickets?

If there is no case of Chi Yan, maybe in a few months, he will join a new game, be killed, or kill others.

Now that he is under police surveillance, He Yang will surely let someone get rid of him.

Before he died, he wanted to take Hu Yao with him. He really didn't worry about leaving Hu Yao alone in this world.

Serious crime team, interrogation room.

Hu Ying burst into tears and stared at Ming Shu in a daze, "I killed someone, and I pleaded guilty. You said you would protect me. But now, you shouldn't protect a murderer. But I beg you, don't let me. He Yang went to kill my sister, she was the most innocent."

After listening to Hu Ying's account, even Ming Shu was overwhelmed for a moment.

He had imagined the relationship between various lake shadows and He Yang, but he never thought that the lake shadow was a "cricket" in He Yang's hands.

If what Huying said is true, how big is the "upper circle"? How many people have died in the game?

It is simply defiance of the law and lawlessness!

Hu Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "You can't move them. You can only find out which people are missing. I can't provide evidence to support what I just said. I killed Sheng Zhi abroad, as far as I know. , Their games are played abroad! You...you can't touch them, and you can't save us!"

"I can't move them?" Ming Shu frowned, "Don't underestimate the criminal police. Anyone who commits a crime in this land will not escape the law!"

Hu Ying looked at Ming Shu's eyes-such a firm, confident, and divine gaze, he seemed to have never seen it before.

Probably only those who are blessed by fate, those who have never experienced desperation, will have such a look.

Hu Ying lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I really envy you for being able to say such things. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Ming forgive me for not answering.

"You must be thinking-is this man a fool? He Yang told him to kill, and he went to kill. Why didn't he record? Why didn't he leave evidence? Why didn't he report to the police? He is stupid and doesn't know how to use legal weapons to protect himself." Huying's eyes were covered with mist, as if excited, but what appeared to be negative and weak, "But that is He Yang! Behind He Yang is the peak. Tu Group! You all say that everyone is equal in modern society and there is no class distinction anymore, but this is just'the emperor's new outfit'-a self-deceiving lie. He Yang is rich and powerful, with all his hands covering the sky, I don't follow him Do it, I’m already dead, how can I sit here and tell you a'story'?"

As he said, Hu Ying suddenly shook his head, "Looking back now, I actually deserved to die last year. If it was me who died in the game, not Sheng Zhi, then He Yang would not win the "Hong Chen and Jiang Hu" for me. "Resources. That role... That role may really have been snatched from Chi Yan. I don’t know, I don’t know..."

Hu Ying was already confused, and he squeezed his head with both hands, "Chi Yan deserves that role, and Chi Yan should become popular. If it was him who became popular, he would not become a lunatic because of me and kill so many people... Chi Yan is a good person. He used to be the best person to me in this circle. He shouldn't be like this..."

Fang Yuanhang had to remind, "You calm down."

After being at a loss for a moment, Hu Ying looked at the detective in front of him with horror, "I, what did I just say? Don't believe it, don't believe it! I'm telling lies, I didn't kill. Excellent! I'm just mad and speechless... There has never been any game, it was all made up by me under pressure, Mr. He, Mr. He said that I need to see a psychologist, because I was worried about being photographed by paparazzi. Just kept dragging..."

Ming Shu said: "Hu Ying!"

Huying seemed unheard of, "Don’t believe a word of what I said just now! Mr. He never asked me to kill, never! I was sick, and the sick people said nothing. Mr. He told me. Well, the relationship between me and him is really just a nurturing relationship. This kind of thing in the entertainment industry is too..."

Before the words fell, Hu Ying's eyes darkened, and she suddenly fell on the interrogation table.
