[R18] Paranoid desire – “Paranoid Desire” 254 The Secret of the Mu Family – Second Uncle [English]

Lin Sen went to the mental hospital where Mu Chengtai was detained. Because of his special physical condition, there were three attendants working in shifts.

Mu Chengtai was basking in the sun in the garden. When he saw his third brother coming to see him, he suddenly sobered up and said, “Third brother, I knew you wouldn’t abandon me.”

Lin Sen stared at him intently, “I came here to take you to see dad.”

When he heard that he was going to see his father, Mu Chengtai immediately looked horrified: “No! Third brother, don’t go see him! Never!”

“Why?” Lin Sen stared at him, trying to hear the answer from his mouth, “What did dad do to you?”

“Nothing was done.”

“Then why are you afraid to go see him?”

Mu Chengtai didn’t reply. He sat in a wheelchair, his trembling body betraying his true inner reaction.

Seeing his legs, Chen Pu said that when he was transferred from the prison, he had to break his other leg because he was running around, “Chengtai, the Mu family is gone, and dad is in jail. All the things you worry about will never happen again.”

“It’s impossible, Third Brother, you can’t imprison Dad! There’s no way the man in prison is Dad!”

If he hadn’t known that Mu Chengtai was pretending to be crazy, Lin Sen would have listened to what he said as crazy. Thinking of his previous fear of his father, it was not the reaction a son should have at all, “What do you know? Are you still going to hide it?”

Knowing that he would not live long, Mu Chengtai struggled for a long time before telling the third brother in front of him everything he had seen with his own eyes before, “Third brother, do you know who I learned the human skin mask from? I learned it from my dad. My dad can make many human skin masks, which are very lifelike and almost look like real people when worn. When he taught me at the time, he told me not to tell anyone. He also said that if I tell anyone, he will find another son to replace me.”

“I was very scared at the time. When I was studying with my dad, I would have nightmares every night. I dreamed that he would kill me, and then find someone else to wear a human skin mask and pretend to be me.”

“In the Mu family, except for you, third brother, I don’t trust anyone. In my eyes, those people are more like people created by dad. I think they all wear human skin masks.”

“Aunt Qiu found me and asked me to cooperate with her. She said that only by making you the master of the Mu family can we drive out the fake Mu family. We can only give all our hope to you, so we will secretly plan and force you to fight with the eldest brother and the second brother.”

“Don’t you think it’s strange, third brother? Dad is particularly attracted to the eldest brother and second brother, but you and I are as if we are not his sons.”

…

After listening to what Mu Chengtai said, Lin Sen didn’t stop for a moment and went to the prison. When he saw his father Mu Xiang, he first went to tear his face off.

“Bah…” Mu Xiang slapped the table in pain, “You bastard!”

He wasn’t wearing a human skin mask, but the tone was a little strange.

“You finally came to see me. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you!” Although Mu Xiang is 60, he is well-maintained and looks like he is only in his early 50s. During the period of living in prison, he could not eat well or live well. He who cares about his face does not want to stay here for a moment longer. “Get me out quickly. I can live anywhere, but I can’t live here anymore. Isn’t your mother in a drug rehabilitation center? I’ll go live with your mother!”

At this time, the old man still wants to go out.

Lin Sen lit a cigarette and handed it over: “Chengtai said that he has been learning how to make human skin masks from you for more than ten years. I want to learn a little bit too.”

Mu Xiang took the cigarette and took a puff, with disdain in his eyes, “How could I know how to do that? He learned it from your second uncle, not me.”

“Second uncle?” Lin Sen was a little surprised when he heard about the second uncle for the first time: “Do you have a younger brother?”

“Your grandpa didn’t let me tell you. He said that if I did, he would break my legs. In addition, your second uncle is really pitiful, so I never mentioned it to anyone. Your second uncle has a withdrawn temperament, and his spirit is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Your grandpa locked him in the basement below the ancestral hall. Except for the housekeeper, Uncle Mu, who delivers food to him, no one can see him if he goes down.”

“But when Chengtai saw him, he thought his second uncle was you.”

“Your second uncle and I are twins, we look exactly the same. If I got into trouble when I was young, I would go down to your second uncle and send your second uncle up to be punished on my behalf.” Mu Xiang seemed to have endless things to say when he mentioned his younger brother.Every word he praised his brother for how kind he was and how much he helped him, “I really don’t like dealing with company affairs. It’s not like you don’t know how good your father and I are in business, but your second uncle is smart. He often went to the company on my behalf. It was your second uncle who helped me negotiate the deal with Shimao.”

Lin Sen was puzzled: “Second uncle is so smart, why does grandpa keep him locked up?”

“Didn’t I tell you just now? Your second uncle’s spirit goes up and down. When he’s good, he’s just like normal. He bites people when he gets sick. I’ve also been bitten by a he.”

Mu Xiang lifted up his sleeve and showed it to him. There were obviously several teeth marks on his forearm.

It seems that this second uncle really has a problem.

Without waiting for a moment, he immediately got up and went back to Mu’s house.

“Take me with you, you treacherous son!” Mu Xiang has a free and easy nature, and only thinks about women. “Your little mother was crying when she came to see me yesterday, saying that your younger brother and sister didn’t even have any money for milk powder.”

Lin Sen ignored him and strode out. No matter how his father behind him shouted, he didn’t even look back.
