Chapter 13: The Finale
I don't know how long it had been in the ward, until the door to the ward suddenly opened, and the wall that had appeared before suddenly disappeared.
What catches your eye is the eerie corridor from before.
The next second, the fat man and the squad leader lying on the hospital bed appeared at the end of the corridor in the distance, both of them were in a coma, with tubes inserted in their bodies, and even their faces were very pale.
"I can let you and your friends go, but you can only choose one person."
The hoarse voice of the man in black echoed in my ears in the corridor, and I seemed to have expected this ending, but I didn't expect it to come true.
I ran towards the two figures, but my legs trembled with weakness, until when I got closer, I saw a pistol on the ground.
At that moment, my mind almost collapsed, and these two people in front of me were extremely important people in my life, and I had no right to deprive anyone of their freedom and life.
Until his eyes stayed on the squad leader's body little by little, he suddenly recalled the unsightly picture in the camera again.
I curled up in the tent, the strange cacophony of voices echoing in my ears again, and the fat man had nothing to do with the whole thing.
These two choices seemed to make me unable to decide at all, and when the cold pistol was held in my hand, the laughter of her and Guo Zi on the bus kept echoing in my mind.
I don't know when it started, hatred has already sprouted in our hearts, shattering the only illusion we have.
I couldn't help but aim the muzzle of the gun at the unconscious squad leader, but I couldn't do it with my fingers touching the trigger, and a sad breath spread in my heart.
"I abstain."
For a moment, I didn't know where I got the courage, so I aimed the muzzle of the gun directly at my chin, and a bullet penetrated the jawbone in an instant, but because of the trembling palm, the muzzle of the gun was tilted a little bit and did not hit the vital point.
The pain in my heart was accompanied by blood spilling out, and my consciousness drifted through my mind until I couldn't remember anything until finally.
At the end of the story, I put on a black costume and a metal mask on my face that I couldn't take off, and watched as the two men were pushed out of the exit.
But I felt relieved and finally relaxed.
It wasn't until later that I learned what I meant by the words "time is running out" that the people in black kept saying.
I sat down at the table and fell into deep thought, obviously the end of the story was a little too hasty, but this ending was the best I could think of.
As the sun sets, the sunlight outside the window turns red little by little, gradually dyeing the grassland red.
I can't help but recall the appearance of the man in black who finally disappeared in the ancient kingdom of Yelang, there is no right or wrong in this world, everything should return to the original state.
What is wrong is just the obsession in the heart, if you really learn to let go, you may not be far from the so-called immortal in Taoism.
