I Was Once a Legend

Dong Zheng's mother died at the moment he was about to be born.

The sudden amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth took her life within five minutes. No matter how clever the doctor was, she could not fight back in front of the god of death. She could only take out the child in her stomach by cesarean section, and took off the oxygen mask and pulmonary artery. The floating catheter and dialyzer announced to Dong Yi outside the delivery room that the rescue was invalid.

Amniotic fluid embolism, which suddenly enters the maternal blood circulation during childbirth, leads to acute pulmonary embolism, anaphylactic shock, renal failure, or sudden death, the most dangerous delivery complications.

Dong Zheng killed her.

For a long time, Dong Yi couldn't help thinking this every time he saw the child he was born soon.

Although he understood that he should not be angered by a baby who knew nothing about it, this thought was like a cobweb that could not be earned, and he was wrapped around him all the time.

The more struggling the tighter.

Dong Yi hid all the photos of his deceased wife, and it seemed that he couldn’t see the face, so that his grief would fade away. So until Dong Zheng was seven years old, Dong Yi married his secretary, Su Daijun, as Dong Zheng’s stepmother and cleaned up the house. At that time, Dong Zhengcai turned out old photos in the storage room and knew for the first time his mother's appearance.

He is very much like his mother.

It was the woman in front of him who appeared in his dream.

Liu Yueqian was only twenty-three years old when she died, in the most beautiful years.She is petite, with extra bright eyes, and her wide jade bracelets make her wrists thinner.

She was wearing a camouflage combat uniform, holding Emei thorns in both hands, standing in the drizzle, facing Dong Zheng with a firm eyesight, her eyes passing through Dong Zheng, and she couldn't seem to see him.

Dong Zheng's hands on his side began to tremble uncontrollably, he clenched his fists tightly, exhausted all his senses to resist the urge to reach and touch, and stared deeply at this familiar and strange face .

Never thought of such a day alone.

He opened his mouth and faced her for the first time, shouting that he had called Su Daijun for years:

"……mom?"

But Liu Yueqian could not hear.

"Have you thought about it?" The girl's voice gently passed into her ears.

Dong Zheng suddenly turned around, only to notice that behind him, in front of his mother, stood a girl, in her twenties, with short hair, a Republican costume, and a white oil-paper umbrella.

Chang Hui?

Dong Zheng immediately remembered what Cui Zuojing had told him, and he was almost certain that the girl had left something in his body, rumored to follow the desire of the devil.

Liu Yueqian's lips curled into a firm arc: "Well, I think about it."

"Okay." Chang Hui smiled softly and satisfactorily. She turned the umbrella handle, and the rain scattered along the umbrella bone in all directions. "Then you will not be a prisoner after you die, and the soul will be used directly by me. Do you agree?"

Dong Zheng was shocked.

-No!

Dong Zheng watched Liu Yueqian nodded without hesitation and said, "I agree."

"Speak your wishes."

"I hope that if one day my child enters here because of an accident, he can have a life-saving hole card." Liu Yueqian took out a black card and painted complicated golden lines around and on the back of the card.

Dong Zheng froze.

This is the black gold prisoner card that he summoned Cui Zuojing.

"Please help me hand this over to him."

He stretched out his hand blankly, touching the familiar card.After his summoning was completed, the blank card appeared with the pattern representing Cui Zuojing's prisoner's name "Arabidopsis thaliana" and the wheel of fate, which has now been merged into his left hand because of blood contract.

Dong Zheng's hand passed through the card and also through Liu Yueqian's fingertips.Chang Hui took the prisoner card and glanced down. "This is a rare top prisoner card. You are about to reach the final step of the pilgrimage. Do you not keep it for yourself?"

Liu Yueqian smiled and shook his head, said softly: "I know my level, rather than wasting such a good resource, it is better to leave it."

She doesn't even know what her child looks like or what her name is, even if her child is male or female.

He still left him the most precious hope.

"Okay, then the deal has been concluded." Chang Hui reached out his hand, and his index finger touched Liu Yueqian's eyebrow gently, "I will give the card to your child in my way."

The glowing black red light plunged into the skin, Liu Yueqian frowned, and forced to endure discomfort.Dong Zheng took one of her hands and watched as the light disappeared, but couldn't stop it.

At the same time, a fingerprint of blood red appeared on the inside of Changhui Paper Umbrella, and together with other dense blood prints, it merged into a strange pattern with a fishy smell.

"The next time I meet, it's time for me to take your soul."

The rain stopped.

All the pictures disappeared in an instant, including the figure that Dong Zheng tried his best to keep, and he struggled to reach out, but only caught the fine streamer.

At this moment, all the deliberately sealed memories finally emerged slowly, that was what happened when he first entered the pure white realm.

The girl holding the umbrella stood outside the Haunted Mansion and smiled at him who had just received the novice box reward: "There is an old lady who asks me to hand over something to you, why not... just change the card in your hand?"

And he was completely in a trance, and stretched out his hand uncontrollably.

A loud noise exploded in his ear, Dong Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.

Rainy night thunder seemed to sound just above his head, Dong Zheng sighed with fear and fear, and stared straight at the ceiling with the lightning from across the window from time to time.

That's... his mother.

After dying of dystocia, she entered the pure white realm and became a powerful pilgrim all the way, even to the final level.

But on the eve of being able to fulfill her desire to leave here, she made a deal with Chang Hui, leaving him the crucial hole card.

Dong Zheng couldn't understand the emotion of the intense sourness in his heart. At the age of 26, he finally saw his mother for the first time, although he didn't get her in just a few minutes. The call of a, or a gentle look.

He knew that she loved him very much, and he did not forget to take precautions to protect him at the moment of life and death, but...but the two would never meet again from now on.

Something stuck in his chest, making him almost breathless.

Cui Zuojing came out of the prisoner space after waking up and saw Dong Zheng sitting in bed in a daze. The man was facing the window, looking at the rain marks winding down on the glass, and his dark eyes were suddenly flashed from time to time. Electric light.

He seemed to have collapsed a bit, and he didn't see the appearance of arming himself from head to toe to teeth with calmness and self-control.

Cui Zuojing: "?"

He frowned, still seeing Dong Zheng for the first time. He could even feel the unspeakable sadness deep in Dong Zheng's heart. He touched his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"

Dong Zheng turned his head to look at him, but his eyes somehow made Cui Zuojing couldn't help but think of the beast in the clown's circus, who was silently licking the wound in the cage.

Dong Zheng was only silent. Just when Cui Zuojing thought he would not answer, he whispered: "I... dreamed of something."

"Huh?" Cui Zuojing sat cross-legged beside him, and it was still dark outside. No one went to turn on the light. In the tranquil darkness, in addition to the sound of rain, he could vaguely hear the other person's breathing.

"The prisoner card that called you was given to me by Chang Hui."

"Chang Hui gave you?" Cui Zuojing was startled, "Why did she give you this?"

"My mother used to be a member of the pilgrim." Dong Zheng said that it was difficult. "At the last moment, she used her soul as a bargaining chip and asked Chang Hui. If I came here one day, let her use black gold. The prisoner card is given to me as a life-saving card."

Cui Zuojing froze.

He had long thought that Dong Zheng was able to get the Black Gold Prisoner Card to summon him out. Someone did it from him, but he never expected that... it would be like this.

Chang Hui noticed Dong Zheng from the beginning, so it is not strange to leave his energy on Dong Zheng.

For Chang Hui, Rao is not too much that Cui Zuojing knows, but he speculates that Chang Hui is not an aborigine of this world.Dong Zheng is twenty-six years old this year. His mother and Chang Hui were trading at least 20 years ago. Since then, has Chang Hui been in the pure white realm?

Cui Zuojing didn't know what to say for a while. He never comforted people. Although Dong Zheng's performance was not obvious, the sadness suppressed in his heart had affected him.

But his feelings were still with the clown, and he lost all empathy and could not feel the same.

Cui Zuojing even wanted to go back to the prisoner space, avoiding this situation, and let Dong Zheng stay quietly and digest his emotions.

He didn't do it in the end.

After a while, Cui Zuojing asked softly, "Can you tell me about your mother?"

He didn't have much hope for Dong Zheng's answer. Dong Zheng is a person who pays great attention to privacy. In addition to playing black jack before, he is willing to gamble and lose. He has never said anything about family and even asked Cui Zuojing for the first time. When he had a relationship with Dong Linhai, he lied directly.

Perhaps the inner depression needs a person to share it, maybe the blood contract makes the two people's emotions communicate, or there may be other deep reasons that Cui Zuojing does not understand.Dong Zheng was silent for a while and took a deep breath. For the first time in history, he talked about his past: "My mother died because of my dystocia."

"Her amniotic fluid embolism was too sudden and fierce, and it was too late to save. My father therefore...how to say, it's a bit of a feeling of always hiding me deliberately, plus he was in the rise of his career at that time. People, or with a nanny."

"A little bit older, my father gradually came out of grief, he will take me to the company after picking me up from school, and let the secretary accompany me to write homework in his office. The secretary was a graduate The girl, in her twenties, has a good temper and is very patient. She will accompany me to play and give me a parent meeting."

When Cui Zuojing heard this, he was almost able to anticipate the future development.

"I like her very much, so when my father asked me if I wanted her to be my mother, I agreed.

"She married my father in less than a year and Linhai was born. They naturally took more attention to the newly born child. I was already eight years old at that time. Although I was uncomfortable, I knew a lot of things.

"She is kind to me and has been taking good care of me, but of course her favorite and most concerned child is always her own. My father, because I look more like my mother, every time I see me, I think of my dead wife.

"He felt owed to me because he didn't care when he was a kid, so when he treated me, he was not as natural as Linhai.

"So I always feel that I am the extra person in the family."

The voice gradually fell, and the bedroom was quiet again, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Sure enough, there is a reason for Dong Zheng's character. Cui Zuojing always felt that he could not let go, unlike Dong Linhai who was innocent and lungless and naively written on his face. With his possessive body, Dong Zheng has been disguising himself.

Undoubtedly, Dong Zheng has the ability to be a leader, but if he is not required to come forward and there are other people who can lead the team, even if that person is inferior to him, Dong Zheng will reduce his sense of presence and silently Stay aside.

When he was in Hameln, he chose to let the glasses man lead the action.

Dong Zheng is the captain of a group of people, but this responsibility is more like being thrown to him. Dong Linhai trusts and trusts him. Allen who joined later does not care about it. Lin Hangzhi as a recruited team member cannot be the core of leadership.

This is the choice after no choice.

It was like playing what he should be in the eyes of others.

A calm, strong, well-organized, will arrange the next plan and coordinate the captains of all parties.

No one knows that he will be scared with sweat when he meets ghosts, and he will also want to worry about things later, just waiting for orders.

...

Well, except Cui Zuojing.

Cui Zuojing blinked and saw Dong Zheng still facing the window with silence, hesitated, put his face in front of him and carefully looked at it, tentatively asked, "Are you crying?"

Seeing the moment was occupied by the teenager's face, Dong Zheng was a little surprised, and subconsciously hid back: "No, why do you think so?"

Cui Zuojing saw that he did not have any signs of redness in the corners of his eyes, and his voice was normal. He returned to the original place and touched his nose. "I thought you would be sad."

Dong Zheng smiled silently and said, "I'm not a kid anymore. Besides, everyone has his own difficulties and misfortunes. Why should he always complain about himself? I used to live well in the real world before. Yes. It was a bit uncomfortable to see her today..."

Is it really good?

Cui Zuojing doubted the authenticity of this sentence. He thought for a while and snapped his fingers, saying: "Since you have told me such private things, so to be fair, I will tell you a little bit about my things. how about it?"
