The autumn morning wind, wrapped in gusts of cold, constantly blows the already half-bald poplar tree, and from time to time brings down one or two dry leaves from the branches. The yellow leaves float in the morning wind, like a lonely boat lost in the sea, full of sad and lonely breath
On an open field surrounded by barbed wire and close to the east of the funeral home, 26 prisoners of death in prison clothes were kneeling in a row, and hundreds of armed armed armed police soldiers were waiting in the four sides of the execution ground with a solemn look. They aimed their guns at the prisoners in front of them, waiting for the commander's final execution order.
Yang Hongtao knelt in the middle of a group of prisoners, his low body stiff like a dry stake. He knew that it was too late to say anything at this time, and the struggle and resistance only accelerated his death.
In France, Yang Hongtao had the impulse to retract his confession, especially when he saw his once beloved girlfriend Xiao Ya and the boss Huang Lianshu who set up a trap to put him in prison walk into the court in a close manner, and the raging anger nearly swallowed up all his intelligence. However, when his eyes turned to the tears and concerns on the faces of his elderly parents and sister who were sitting at the hearing table, his anger and instinctive desire for survival were immediately drowned by the warm affection!
He knew that he would never be able to compete with the Huanglian Book. In fact, it was an unequal struggle. Both sides of each other were not at the same level. After calming down, Yang Hongtao knew that it was useless even if he dared to tell the truth at all costs, because he had no direct evidence to prove that his boss, Huang Lianshu, was the main messenger behind the series of economic fraud and criminal cases. Even if the judge accepted the testimony of Yang Hongtao, Huang Lianshu could easily launch another one to cover all the charges for the dead ghost, which would only make Huang Lianshu lose more money at most. However, Yang Hongtao could not escape the crazy revenge of Huang Lianshu after the event, and eventually he could not escape the death, even all the relatives related to him would also be involved... Yang Hongtao did not want his parents and his sister's family to be buried with him, so finally he only gritted his teeth and took all the responsibilities with a stiff head
After walking out of the court with the heart of death, Yang Hongtao thought he could really face death calmly. However, when he felt that the cold gun in the back of his head was emitting the breath of death, he was still afraid of it
It's a pity that no matter whether Yang Hongtao can accept the outcome, everything that should come will come after all. With the command of the commander of the armed police force, there is a "click" sound of bullets loading behind him, and the clear sound is like an invisible hand knocking on the door of hell.
"Preparation - shooting -"
As the final order was issued, the sound of gunfire rang out in the air above the execution ground. At the same time, 26 7.62mm rifle bullets were burning with angry flames and roaring into the back of each death sentence.
At the moment before the gunshot sounded, Yang Hongtao, who knew that his life was about to end, naturally flashed in his mind like a movie because of his infinite nostalgia for this wonderful world, every face he had touched in his short life that he had never forgotten... A kind mother, a strict father, his favorite sister, and the girl next door who had never been suspicious
Then... Xiaoya's beautiful but merciless face and the sinister and disdainful face in the book of Huanglianshu were frozen in Yang Hongtao's mind, and then these two faces were infinitely magnified, like two legendary ghosts of enchantment and impermanence, with cold and fierce eyes, wantonly mocking Yang Hongtao, who was about to be deprived of the right to life
The intense anger and unwillingness burned Yang Hongtao's soul like a raging fire. It is exactly what is said that things will turn against the extreme. When the anger and unwillingness burned to the extreme, Yang Hongtao's mood suddenly returned to calm.
I don't know whether it is a supernatural act or a destiny. When life is about to end, the face that finally appears in Yang Hongtao's mind is actually an old face full of vicissitudes and wrinkles!
It was an old lama that Yang Hongtao met by chance in a dilapidated temple three years ago when he was traveling to Lhasa. The old lama had a kind face and eyes, and looked like an eminent monk. But after some hesitation, Yang Hongtao was stunned that he spent 500 yuan to buy a jade pendant from him that sold at most five yuan at the stall. The jade pendant is carved in Tibetan with the famous six-character Daming Mantra in Buddhism. According to the old lama, the six-character Daming Mantra is the Great Mercy Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Mantra. Long ago, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva himself practiced this mantra and became a Buddha. After selling out the jade pendant, the old lama was very enthusiastic and taught Yang Hongtao to recite these six words of truth several times. However, Yang Hongtao felt that the lama's intonation when he recited these six words of truth was a bit like that of foreigners speaking Chinese. Or just because of this, it left a deep impression on Yang Hongtao. At the moment before his death, he somehow thought of the cunning old lama and unconsciously recited the six-character Daming Mantra taught him by the old lama in his mind.
"Om Mani Bhumi Hum -"
However, what Yang Hongtao did not expect was that while the six-character Daming Mantra was being read in his heart, he seemed to see six huge characters flying into the air and turning into six white halos of different sizes. The white halo sent out a holy light to cover his whole son. Then, before Yang Hongtao realized what had happened, the six halos began to shrink rapidly.
Although Yang Hongtao's body still knelt there, he felt like a fluffy marshmallow that was brutally rubbed and suppressed by the six circles of light and quickly turned into a small rock candy. Just in the blink of an eye, Yang Hongtao has completely lost control of his body, and all his consciousness has been compressed into a point in his mind by those six apertures.
At this time, a hot bullet had pierced Yang Hongtao's skull in the back of his head with the piercing sound of the gun, and passed through his mind with a bloody breath of indomitable blood
I don't know whether it is an accidental coincidence that the bullet that symbolizes death passed through Yang Hongtao's head just in the center of the circle formed by the compression of the six strange apertures. The six white apertures just disappeared at the moment when the bullet head passed through, as if they had become an invisible screen print carved on the small bullet head.
However, the fiery bullet did not delay at all. It flew by with a slight sweep, and then it was sprayed out of Yang Hongtao's wide mouth. With a "ding" sound, it dropped dust seven or eight meters in front of Yang Hongtao.
After the gunshot, 26 condemned prisoners fell to the ground one after another, and a blood hole the size of peanuts was punched in the back of each corpse by bullets, like a devil's eye only from hell
The soldiers of the armed police force who completed the execution task began to clean up the execution ground quickly. First, the forensic doctors used special tools to pierce the bullet hole in the back of the dead body for two turns. After confirming that the prisoner was completely dead, the soldiers worked in pairs and carried the body to the car according to the number.
Then logistics personnel came to clean the blood-stained ground and collected the shells and warheads consumed during execution. All these things need to be treated in a unified way. Every time a certain amount is accumulated, they will be transported to the arsenal for smelting and re-casting into various kinds of bullets.
According to the regulations, after each execution of the shooting mission, the staff responsible for cleaning the scene must collect all the ammunition casings and warheads consumed this time. But sometimes, perhaps because of the angle of the shooting, some individual bullets will directly enter the land in front of the prisoner after being shot from the prisoner's mouth. Of course, the staff could not dig the whole execution ground three feet in order to find one or two bullets, so it is not a problem to collect two or three bullets less each time.
This time, three bullet heads were not found, and the staff in charge of cleaning the execution ground also did not care. Seeing that the blood on the ground had been covered with loess, they sealed the found bullet heads and bullet casings, and got on the car in succession, and disappeared from the noise of the car horn and the thick black exhaust from the exhaust pipe
Yang Hongtao felt that his consciousness was like a piece of extremely compressed cheese, tightly bound in a cold and hard bullet. No matter how hard he struggled, as soon as he touched the invisible mesh on the surface of the bullet, it immediately bounced back to the center of the bullet. At this time, the bullet shrank under a flat rock. Through the gap between the rocks, Yang Hongtao could clearly see what was happening in front of him. He watched helplessly as "himself" stared at his empty eyes, collapsed on the dusty mud, turned into a bloody corpse, and then was carried on the car and gradually went away. His heart could not say whether he was sad, shocked, or excited.
After the death of the original person, there is actually a soul! So the so-called theory of life and death must be true!
But he did not understand why other people's souls were free, but only his consciousness was bound in a small bullet after death.
Yes... Yang Hongtao can clearly see the souls of the other 25 prisoners who were executed in the same batch. In his eyes, those souls seem to be transparent shadows. Once they appear, they keep wandering in front of their bodies, just like a group of children who have lost their keys at home.
However, the evil spirit emitted by the armed police soldiers made these confused ghosts have incomparable fear. So when the armed police soldiers carried the body away, although they were reluctant to part with each other, none of them dared to continue to follow the body. They could only stay at the place where the body had been parked and kept floating
Yang Hongtao couldn't understand why he was so unlucky! Before he died, he had to take the blame for others and be framed by the boss. But after he died, he became a ghost and was trapped in a small bullet!
Is it because he recited the six-character Daming mantra before he died?
too bad! Ordinarily, the six-character Daming Mantra is the supreme maxim of Buddhism, and should be used to drive away evil spirits. But the problem is that Yang Hongtao seemed to become a ghost at the moment when he recited the six-character Daming Mantra, and naturally became an evil spirit in people's eyes that needs to be purified and eliminated by Buddhism, and he even recited the mantra in his heart before he died. Isn't that a curse that he tortured himself?
While Yang Hongtao resented his self-pity and hated his obsession, the misty sky became brighter and brighter, and finally... a warm sun slowly climbed up behind the low mountains in the east, scattering a golden ray of sunshine on the boundless land.
At that moment, those ghosts who were still wandering around in the execution ground suddenly looked like a live chicken that had been thrown into a hot pot. At the same time, they made a series of miserable ghost cries, and at the same time, they struggled desperately and ran away helplessly.
Of course... the cries of those ghosts may not be heard in the ears of the living people, and only Yang Hongtao can clearly feel the despair and fear in the cries. And the struggle and flight of those ghosts are of no use. The all-pervasive sunlight is like a sharp sword, which penetrates the originally ethereal ghost shadows through holes. All ghosts will become riddled with holes in an instant, and no one will be complete. Although it has not completely disappeared for the time being, it is only a matter of time before the real spirit is gone.
Yang Hongtao stared at everything in front of him in a daze. His fear did not diminish because of his temporary survival. Although his soul was completely squeezed in a bullet, and it happened to be hidden under a stone, and the sun could not shine on him now, but the sunlight reflected from the ground had made him feel like being put on the stove to bake. And... it will only take about ten minutes, maybe even a few minutes, and the sun's position will shift a little further to the west, and then the sun may shine directly on the bullet through the gap between the stones. At that time, is it possible that the ghost tightly compressed in the bullet can still survive?
Although Yang Hongtao is strictly said to be dead now, he still has a strong desire to survive. When knowing that his soul still exists after his death, Yang Hongtao no longer feels that fear about his physical death. However, now he knows that once he is directly exposed to the scorching sun, the result may be that his soul is gone, so that death is truly complete death. As long as his soul is gone, Yang Hongtao will disappear in the universe forever and forever.
No I don't want to be scared! I don't want to die again!
Looking at the ghosts in front of him slowly melting in the sun, Yang Hongtao roared crazily in his heart
