Whether it was his father or his mother, as Wen Qiu gradually established a new close relationship, these distant symbols gradually became less important. He hadn't had the nightmare of chasing his parents' car for a long time.

The second time he shared his secret, he began to talk about some of his experiences as an adult.

From his stepfather's house to the Yilong Society and then to the villa, it was an extremely torturous experience, and he gradually began to touch the trauma itself.

It also became difficult to confide in others. I clearly wanted to tell Pei Du, but most of the time he would be in so much pain that he would become speechless. Sometimes he would look confused and find his memory vague and chaotic.

According to Dr. Wu, aphasia and amnesia are the brain's instinctive self-protection. But the damage did not disappear, but was buried deeper, slowly becoming inflamed and festering.

Pei Du was already feeling pain from Wen Qiu's fragmented words, but he still felt it was not enough - if he couldn't change the past, he should at least understand and experience it. Like an ascetic monk cutting himself with a knife, he began to investigate everything. The more he felt the pain, the more devoutly he loved.

At the beginning, Pei Du found the closed Longteng Nightclub, and Wen Qiu was imprisoned in this place for two years.

The building was deserted and looked particularly run-down and desolate. The basement on the first floor below ground was once a den for *** people to gather. It was greasy and damp here, with many oxidized bloodstains splattered on the walls. The shrine in the east was empty, with a picture of "The Transformations of Hell" posted on it.

There, Pei Du found the kitchen where Wen Qiu was imprisoned.

Cold. This was Pei Du's first feeling when he walked into the door. In such a warm spring, walking into the kitchen was like falling into an ice cave. All the light came from the small broken skylight on the top. The cold wind howled in the three square meters of space, and the chill was overwhelming.

Suddenly, Pei Du noticed the cupboard under the stove, and Wen Qiu's words rang in his mind: "That kitchen is very cold, very cold, and it leaks when it rains, so I will crawl into the cupboard to sleep, and cockroaches and rats will crawl out at night..."

With shaking hands, he opened the cupboard door, and a rotten and musty smell hit him in the face. The space was not big, just enough to fit the 19-year-old OMEGA. Perhaps it was then that he developed the habit, so even today, Wen Qiu still unconsciously curls up to sleep.

Pei Du imagined Wen Qiu hiding in this cabinet in the cold winter without even a decent quilt. A chill seemed to come out from the bottom of his heart and penetrate into his muscles and bones.

"Sometimes they would forget about me and lock me up for half a month, but it would be even scarier when they remembered me. They would drag me out and beat me..." Wen Qiu couldn't help trembling when he talked about those things. "There were rice, noodles and vegetables in the kitchen, but many of them were moldy and rotten. I cooked for myself and often woke up with stomachaches at night..."

"Bang——" Pei Du couldn't bear it any longer and punched the table. His finger bones were scratched and bleeding, but he was completely unaware.

Several men outside came over after hearing the noise, "Master Pei, are you okay?"

Pei Du shook off the blood on his hands indifferently, and the extremely superior ALPHA pheromones were released unrestrainedly. Several of his men couldn't help but step back, their legs trembling.

"What did the prison say?" Pei Du asked.

The captain reported tremblingly: "We have already contacted Yancheng Prison. All the people on the list can be dealt with as you wish..."

At this time, a technician wearing glasses rushed in: "Mr. Pei, the original video has been restored, take a look at this!"

He handed the computer to Pei Du. Pei Du glanced at the screen and suddenly froze, with all the color drained from his face.

"Get out." He heard himself trying to remain calm.

The old iron door made a loud noise when it closed, and all the men retreated quickly as if they had been pardoned. He was the only one left in the huge basement. Pei Du supported himself on the edge of the table, as if he could not bear the weight of his body, and a dull gasp came from his chest.

There are more than a dozen restored videos, and only one is labeled with a name - Naked Loan.

Pei Du didn't know what mood he was in when he clicked on the video. He saw in the shaking camera that Wen Qiu was standing against the wall helplessly. On his body covered with bruises, his name, ID number and the words "owe 500 million" were written in eye-catching red paint.

Wen Qiu in the video did not cry, her expression was dull, and she stared at the camera with empty eyes. Then Lu Yilong's rude voice sounded: "This is your last chance, you know? Be obedient when you get there, give birth to the child as soon as possible and pay back the money. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, I will post this video online and let everyone see how despicable you are!"

Memories struck him like a bolt of lightning. Pei Du suddenly thought of Wen Qiu's birthday. He pointed his camera at Wen Qiu, wanting to take a picture of him opening his present. But Wen Qiu didn't know why he was stiff all over and covered his face with his hands to avoid the camera. "Don't take a picture."

What did I do at that time? He smiled and pushed Wen Qiu's hand away, pointed the camera at her face, "Why don't you let me take a picture? You are so pretty..."

Wen Qiu pursed her lips helplessly and let him take pictures, but she lowered her head stiffly and didn't look at the camera.

He was afraid at that time.

There are many more devils hidden in the details: why Wen Qiu didn’t become a model to make money in the beginning, begging not to let his photos leak on the day of the perfume exhibition, not having a single selfie on his phone, saying he was not suitable to be an actor...

There were signs of all this long ago, why did I ignore them so completely?
The rest of the videos were taken randomly during the beatings. A group of ALPHAs beat him like a sack, hitting him with fists and kicks, burning him with cigarette butts, and whipping him with belts. Wen Qiu always bit his arm and said nothing, curling up in a ball.

Pei Du looked at those faces with red eyes, engraving them into his spine with hatred. He forced himself to read them one by one, but his heart was the only pain, and his body could not go back to the past, to the side of that helpless boy, to share even one percent of his misfortune.

"Go to jail." Finally, Pei Du walked out of the kitchen, and all his men were stunned. They saw Pei Du, who had come so calmly and elegantly, with a fierce look on his face and his hands stained with his own blood, like a demon crawling out of hell, going to take someone's life.

He had once handed Wei Ziying over to Li Tianchang, hoping that he would be tortured as he deserved. But this time, Pei Du did not use anyone's hands, but secretly took away all the Yilonghui members who participated in the abuse from the prison and locked them up in the Mingshan sanatorium.

In fact, Wei Ziying was not wrong at the beginning. Mingshan is a mental hospital on the surface, but it can also be used for other purposes when necessary.

Lu Yilong was the worst. On the first day he was locked up, he was tied to the electric chair and cried all day long, but he didn't even know why he was being tortured. Sometimes the big shot would come in person, but every time he would be blindfolded. Lu Yilong couldn't see anything, but he could feel ALPHA's extremely intimidating pheromones enveloping him.

He guessed that this was an elaborate revenge, but because he had done so many evil things in his life, he couldn't even guess who the revenge was. Pei Du went there every two or three days. The place where the prisoners were held was like a modern slaughterhouse, which was washed very clean, but was filled with an lingering fishy smell. Everything was carried out in extreme silence, with only a few cameras buzzing.

In this place, Pei Du vented his inner violence to his heart's content, and then at the end of each session, he would wash himself carefully, and with a warm smile and warm, dry hands, he would go home to hug his lover and children.

"You seem to take a shower before going home recently." Wen Qiu suddenly said this one day.

As soon as he got home, Alpha, who had been next to him, suddenly stopped moving. It sounded like there was a subtext behind this sentence: "Do you have someone else outside?"

However, Wen Qiu immediately grabbed his tie and put it to his nose and sniffed it: "There is blood on your tie."

"It's a nosebleed. I seem to be too excited today..." Pei Du tightened his embrace, buried his face in the back of his neck, and sniffed his breath. His voice was a little hoarse, as if containing a suppressed restlessness, "Have you watched the news?"

"what?"

"A vicious jailbreak occurred in Yancheng Prison. A group of organized prisoners deliberately set fire in an attempt to create chaos and escape from prison, but they accidentally burned themselves to death. Those people were all former members of the Yilong Society. They were all burned beyond recognition, leaving no trace."

“……” Wen Qiu was silent, as if he had always known what Pei Du had been doing recently but had remained silent.

"They all deserved it," Pei Du vaguely kissed his ears and the back of his neck, and his hot breath sprayed on him, but he never let him see his expression, "If you want to see..."

"Pei Du." Wen Qiu called his name, interrupting his unusual excitement, "I don't want to watch."

Pei Du grabbed his arm tightly, his brows and eyes were filled with gloom, "Is that it... Have you forgiven them?"

"I just want to forget them." Wen Qiu stared at him, "What about you? Have you forgiven yourself?"

Pei Du was stared at by his clear eyes, and he felt like a monster that had revealed its true form and was about to be unable to retract its ferocious claws.

Did he forgive himself? No, not at all.

"It's not your fault. You didn't know me at that time." Wen Qiu released some pheromones and comforted him. "You are not a god. You can't change the past. So don't torture yourself anymore, okay?"

No, it's my fault. I am the devil living in your innocence and kindness, the thorns that pierce your head, the abyss that lurks under your feet... You shouldn't trust me like this, you shouldn't look at me with such clean and pure eyes, you shouldn't hug my body covered in blood and sin.

In the rich sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, Pei Du's breathing gradually calmed down, and he suddenly said: "Qiuqiu, can I take a bite of you?"

"Okay." Wen Qiu obediently unbuttoned the second and third buttons of his shirt, then pulled the shirt up his arms, revealing his smooth neck, and took the initiative to lift up the loose hair on the back of his neck.

Pei Du took a bite, and the sweet pheromone of OMEGA spread in his mouth. He closed his eyes comfortably, but the picture of hell he saw in the basement of the nightclub appeared in front of him - Buddha said that if a person did bad things in his life, he would fall into the Avici Hell after death, be burned by the fire of karma, and suffer eternal pain.

These two days, Wen Qiu was busy comforting his extremely anxious daughter ALPHA, but he received a call from An Yunqi.

"Wen Qiu," the voice on the other end sounded extremely anxious, "Can you come to the hospital now?"

When Wen Qiu heard the word hospital, he became serious: "What's wrong?" Are you finally so showy that you get beaten up?

"It's about Li Tianchang! Alas, it's hard to explain over the phone. Can you come over now?"

Li Tianchang asked for leave a week ago, but he didn't tell the reason. He was extremely self-disciplined and never asked for leave. If Wen Qiu hadn't felt suspicious and touched his forehead, no one would have noticed that he had a fever of 38 degrees and went to work.

This was also the first time Wen Qiu heard An Yunqi speak in such an anxious and uneasy voice.

He hurried to the hospital with Pei Du. When they arrived outside the VIP ward, they saw An Yunqi walking around in the corridor in a restless manner with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

"What happened?" Wen Qiu asked. So it wasn't you who was beaten?

"You'll know once you go in and take a look." An Yunqi obviously knew something, but he refused to say, "He won't see me now, so please keep an eye on him for me."

Wen Qiu felt even more uneasy, so he quickly walked into the ward and saw the thin man lying in the bed.

ALPHA, who was once strong and powerful, can now only be described as thin and decadent. His face is gray, his cheeks are sunken, his eyes are empty and lifeless, and he has no reaction to the two people who came in.

His neck was wrapped in circles of gauze, forcing him to tilt his neck and lean on the bed in an awkward position. Wen Qiu approached, his heart skipped a beat, and he recognized the location of the gland where the gauze was wrapped.

"Tian Chang..." Wen Qiu murmured his name, "What is this..."

Li Tianchang's eyes finally focused on him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Gland removal surgery."

After saying these words, he tried to turn his head away, but the wound on his neck made him frown, "You see, I am no longer ALPHA now."
