Chapter 7: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole 3
The mysterious woman stood in the distance, quietly watching her prey, not planning to strike again—the wound on her arm had not yet healed.
That's right, she was injured. It was that day that she was scratched by Tao Yaping on her left arm with a folding knife. After escaping, she found a small private clinic and dealt with it briefly.
In the past few days, she has not taken any more action, but secretly observed the movements of her prey. She found out that Hao Hao had not returned.
It is not difficult to guess that the child must have been sent to live elsewhere for safety. It doesn't matter if the child is not at home, it is more convenient to use it in this way.
She thought so. She also discovered a strange thing: Tao Yaping ran to a remote corner alone at night and sat stupidly.
Yesterday it was like that, and it's like it again today. Why? Isn't a frightened bird scared to be alone in the dark?
Women can't figure it out. Her heart was burning. The theft of the potion failed, the assassination attempt failed, and his plan failed again and again.
After missing twice, the target became more vigilant, and the public security also intervened, how many chances were there to kill Tao Yaping silently?
She can't go on without restraint, she has limited time! Tomorrow she will bring a knife, if Tao Yaping is still so lonely alone at night, she will take action.
At 9 o'clock the next night, the mysterious woman carried a dagger in her arms, put on a mask, and sneaked into the community to wander around.
At about half past nine, she found her target. As in the previous two days, Tao Yaping sat alone by the dim flower bed.
Looking up, it should be a surveillance blind spot. Good chance! The mysterious woman hides herself well.
She stood 20 meters away and paced back and forth, reaching into her pocket and clutching the small dagger tightly.
Calm your breath and imagine how you'll be able to hit it later. She wasn't nervous about killing, but she hadn't tried to stab someone in public in public like tonight.
It is inevitable that some psychological construction and action planning will be needed. When everything was ready, she walked around behind Tao Yaping, slowly approaching her prey step by step.
She looked very casual, like a leisurely walk after dinner, looking around as she went. Three meters, two meters, one meter.
The mysterious woman finally stood behind Tao Yaping, and the prey did not look back. Without hesitation, she pulled the dagger out of her pocket, half-raised her arm, and was about to stab it with all her might.
Suddenly, a person came out of nowhere, rushed straight over and grabbed her wrist holding the knife.
As soon as the man reversed the force, she felt as if her whole arm was about to be broken, and she felt like it was about to break. She had to let go of her palm, allowing the dagger to fall to the ground.
Everything happened so fast, just two or three seconds. Before the mysterious woman could react, she was already subdued.
She knelt on the ground, one arm twisted behind her back, and she couldn't move.
"Don't move!" the athletic bodyguard scolded,
"Miss Tao, call the police quickly. Tao Yaping looked at the scene in front of her at a loss, obviously shocked.
When I heard the prompt, I began to look for my phone in a panic.
"Don't call the police!" the woman suddenly spoke: "I beg you not to call the police, I can tell you everything." She struggled to raise her head and looked at Tao Yaping with pleading eyes.
Tao Yaping held her mobile phone and hesitated. For the first time, she saw it in the eyes of this woman
"Emotions".
"You listen to my explanation before you decide whether or not to make this call. "The woman continues to beg helplessly,
"I'm sure you'll feel like you're not going to call the police after hearing the whole thing. "Heh, what kind of reason can make me willing to let go of a person who wants to kill me three times or twice?
Tao Yaping was really curious. Despite the dim light and the assailant wearing a mask, she could still feel the sincerity in the other person's gaze.
"Who the hell are you?" she asked.
"I can tell you. But ......" The woman hesitated, lowered her head, and seemed to have something unspeakable: "This matter ...... You can only tell you one person, and ask others to avoid it. ”
"Don't play tricks!" the bodyguard wrenched her hand again.
"Ahh
"I'm not playing tricks!" she gasped to defend herself.
"I only brought this knife, and now I don't have any murder weapons on me, I don't believe you can search for it. If you're not at ease, just stand a few meters away and watch us. But don't eavesdrop on our conversation!" the bodyguard glanced at his employer.
Tao Yaping thought about it and felt that her personal safety was guaranteed in the current situation. She really wanted to know what it was all about.
So he nodded, signaling that he could agree to this condition. The bodyguards then searched the woman's body from head to toe, and found no other murder weapons.
"Safe. He confirmed.
"Then please wait for me in front, thank you. Tao Yaping said. The bodyguard let go of the assailant and walked ten meters away to wait.
The mysterious woman quickly pinched her right shoulder with her left hand, then slowly stood up, carefully moving her arm.
It was as if the body had suffered a great injury. While rubbing her injured joint, she whispered, "That person is not a policeman, is the person you found?" I didn't expect you to make such a show, trying to deliberately lure me out?"
"As long as I can catch you, I'll do anything. When Tao Yaping said this, she had a kind of righteous and awe-inspiring temperament that was extremely rare in her.
"Heh," the woman sneered,
"You've changed. I remember you weren't that kind of personality before, you were always weak. Tao Yaping was surprised: "You...... Know me?" the mysterious woman lowered her arms, didn't continue to knead herself, and slowly replied, "Yes, and I've known each other for a long time." Tao Yaping stepped forward and came closer: "Who are you?" she was anxious to know the answers to all her questions.
The woman raised her left hand and slowly lowered it behind her ear, ready to rip off the strap of the mask. Of course, she did not forget to turn sideways so that she turned her back to the bodyguard.
Apparently he didn't want a third person to see what he looked like.
"You see my face in a moment, calm down, don't panic. "What does that mean? Are you ugly, or are you disfigured by facial injuries?
Tao Yaping couldn't guess.
"I've never discriminated against people with flaws in appearance. She still warmly comforted the other party in advance.
The woman let out a soft thud from her nose
"Hmph", said lightly: "My face is not injured, it's just ......" She slowly removed the mask,
"I look just like you. The woman tried her best to keep her voice low so that she would not be heard. Still, the words were sonorous: "-I'm you!" Tao Yaping couldn't believe her eyes, she saw an indescribable face—it was completely different from looking in the mirror.
The same facial features, but a completely different temperament. And it's noticeably older.
"You ......," she was speechless.
"Older than you, aren't you?" said the mysterious woman.
"How can it not be old. I'm ...... this year" She seemed to mentally calculate,
"It's time to have 45, 46 - I'm you from another dimension. Tao Yaping looked like a math scumbag taking an advanced calculus class, with an expression of listening to heaven on her face: "What...... What is another space? Can you ...... To be clear?"
"I know it's hard to accept, but it's just the way it is. The woman reverted to her previous indifferent tone,
"I'm also Tao Yaping, and I originally lived in another space. I...... Crossing over. Tao Yaping was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "What do you think...... Will anyone believe this ridiculous explanation?" the woman smiled wryly, "Of course no one believes it. That's why I beg you not to call the police, don't call the police. The police won't believe it. They ...... "She seems to have a lot of unspeakable secrets,
"They're just going to send me to a psychiatric hospital. ”
"Then why should I trust you?" the woman thought for a moment and replied, "Fingerprints." I can brush open the door to the toxicology lab with my own hands. And the iris. Don't you wonder why I can still get in and out of my house with a high-grade biological lock? And blood. You scratched me that day, and if the police report had come out, they would have told you that the blood stain on that knife was actually your own. Because our DNA is the same – we are the same people. Tao Yaping has been puzzled by some questions, and now she finally has answers.
But this answer is really not acceptable in a short period of time. Isn't it too?
She shook her head and vehemently denied: "This can't be, it's ridiculous." If I insist that you and I are the same person, I'd rather believe that you are a clone. Perhaps, I would be more receptive to this. At least...... At least it's still within my cognition!" The woman stared at her for a while, and asked, "Are you exactly the same as the clothes I am wearing now, including the shoes on your feet?" Tao Yaping looked it up and down carefully: the other party was wearing the one she had seen in the police surveillance before, and she did have exactly the same clothes herself.
"I have, so what?" said the woman, who lifted her left hand, pulled out a button on her sleeve, and said, "This cufflink has fallen off, and you sewed it yourself." The color of the thread is different from other original buttons. She took out a small set of keys from her pocket: "And this one, the key to the door of the house before." The keychain was snatched out of the claw machine. These are the things I brought from my space, exactly like yours here. Tao Yaping glanced at the cufflinks and keychain, and couldn't help but think of the access card that Officer Tan had shown her, so she asked, "You also brought the access card?" The woman nodded: "Yes." But alas...... I accidentally lost it. After answering, he seemed to feel that something was not right, thought about it, and immediately asked, "How do you know the access control card?"
"The card was just picked up by the security guard and handed over to the police. The woman obviously didn't know about it, and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Oh, that must have been accidentally dropped while escaping." It doesn't matter, I don't need it now anyway. I'm just going to give you a reminder. Maybe people can be cloned, but can objects? Can these ordinary little things be copied and fake?" Tao Yaping was somewhat convinced.
The woman continued, "What you have in this world, I have in my world, and they are all exactly the same. It's not a clone," she shook her head lightly,
"—This is the crossing. ”
