Chapter Seventy-Five: Twisted Mind

Two jeeps, pulling a dozen robbers, were driving on the avenues of Moscow.

The bandits sat in the car, holding submachine guns in their arms, and looked very neat.

Unlike the last time they committed the crime, this time they were wearing police uniforms, and when they looked at them suddenly, they looked like a group of well-trained policemen. But if you look closely, you can find that there are still obvious differences between this group of police and regular police, first of all, the difference is the equipment.

Insiders know at a glance that when regular police officers perform their tasks, they are all standard configurations, submachine guns, gas masks, and bulletproof vests, which are neat and mighty. And this gang of people, there are submachine guns, there are shotguns, there are those who carry submachine guns, and there are also those who straddle large-caliber shotguns diagonally over their shoulders. The face is not a gas mask, but a black mask, and naturally, it exudes a murderous and gangsteric spirit.

Especially the leader, Zinoviev, who pretended to be an officer, with a black and curly beard and a tattoo on his neck with a toothy wolf's head, made it even more obvious to insiders at a glance - this is a group of bandits, but here they are pretending to be regular soldiers?

But ordinary people can't see it at all, especially the merchants in the market, they are even more defenseless, they are used to those who often attack suddenly, give them problems, ask for tips, tricky appearance, so these sloppy impostors are enough to blind their eyes.

That's enough, according to Manokov's words, it's "like not like, three points like", and it will be too late for the merchants to find out, and by that time, their little lives will still be there.

Manokov sat in the car, and through the windowpane, a ray of moonlight slanted on his face, and the coldness and severity of that face almost drove away the last bit of civility in him.

I don't know who once said, "As long as you kill someone once, when you raise the butcher knife again, you will think that you are chopping wood, and you will not treat the other person as flesh and blood at all"! It was fitting for Manokov.

Ever since he sat in his office and pointed the silent pistol at Inovich, all conscience and morality had vanished, and the minimum rules of being a human being had been thrown to the back of his mind, and all that appeared before his eyes was a stack of brand-new dollars, and only the smell of the ink was there.

Seeing his former leaders, friends, and partners fall headlong in a pool of blood, he not only suffered, but even felt a trace of pleasure and relief.

It stands to reason that Manokov was once a university professor and an education official in the former Soviet Union, and he should always have a civilized and elegant air in his body, how could he suddenly become a bloodthirsty murderous demon and a three-legged toad who loves money like life?

"The family is the source of all happiness, but if it is lost, the family will also become a breeding ground for crime", and Manokov's transformation naturally came from this.

Originally, he had an extremely happy family, his wife was an opera singer, and he had a pure voice, but Manokov was fascinated by the actor of Miss Lisa in Pushkin's opera "The Queen of Spades", and he finally chased it with great effort.

But with the collapse of the Soviet Union, everything that had been before was shattered, and he changed from a professor who was dedicated to learning to a businessman. Moreover, almost the whole year and month are addicted to the mall and do not go home much. His wife was alone, there was an opera performance, she was intoxicated by art, a large number of actors were together, and the day and night were reversed, so she naturally did not feel lonely and cold.

But it is different to think of it, the economy is declining, the number of people watching operas is decreasing, there are not many performance tasks in the theater, from lively to lonely, the heart is naturally very lonely, her husband never comes back, and she is lonely and lonely from time to time, which makes the theater manager who has also been pursuing her see an opportunity.

"Want to perform"?

"Of course I want to"!

As an actor, art is his life, in order to always be able to become an A-corner, in order to always have a repertoire, in order to get rid of loneliness, Manokov's wife finally gave in.

There are naturally threats here, and there is also the loneliness of her husband's absence, coupled with endless pursuits, the theater manager finally got her hands.

Manokov, returning home, quickly learned all this, he bordered on madness. I love her so much, how could she? He hated his wife, hated the theater manager, and even everyone, and the scandal of his wife's cheating completely distorted his psychology.

But Manokov still loved her and was still unwilling to lose her. Looking at her tears of sorrow, crying about the meanness of the theater manager and the loneliness of her husband's absence, the remorse for cheating, tears flowed down from that handsome face one by one, and Manokov forgave her. thinks that the reason for all this is the fault of this manager - he seduced his wife.

Hearing the ridiculous details of the theater manager's threats and seducing his wife, he couldn't forgive this despicable villain,

"Seduction? Threat? Well, I'll let you taste the double taste too", he gave the manager the cigarettes he had brought in from abroad.

Manokov, who thought that he would be punished, not only did not get angry, but also brought him foreign cigarettes? The haunted theater manager relaxed and enjoyed the gift. How do you know that this is a huge trap?

When the theater manager gradually became addicted and could no longer get rid of the poison, he knelt down and begged him, Maxim slapped him, kicked him, spat him with saliva, and even asked the man to kiss the surface of his feet, the theater manager was willing to do anything to get the medicine, and he felt a trace of "revenge" pleasure.

"Hahaha, you also have today"?

Manokov despised him from the bottom of his heart and looked at the theater manager who was cowering to the ground. He couldn't understand, "It's such a piece of stinky meat, and he chased his beloved wife into his hands"? Hatred arises spontaneously, and no matter what, it cannot be resolved.

"How can we get rid of the hatred in our hearts"? Manokov actually thought of the most evil way to punish him - that is, to let him see the light, but never get it. Manokov put him in an iron cage, and he was going to make the man live in fear forever. Probably knowing that he was about to die, the theater manager pleaded with him, but he was indifferent.

The moment Manokov pushed the iron cage off the bridge of the reservoir, he felt a hint of comfort and a taste of murder in the frightened, distorted, distorted face of the theater manager.

In the painful, frightened, miserable cry for mercy, the hatred in his heart seemed to be calmed and the pain soothed.

The wife who was guilty and had no one to harass her, with Maxim's continuous efforts, finally changed her mind, and later became pregnant and gave birth to a son, which made Manokov happy, since his wife loved art so much, he decided to repay her, "Do you like opera?" Then I will send you to the birthplace of opera, so that you can reach the highest temple of opera," and in this way, he sent his wife to Italy, so that she could enjoy art and let his son enjoy life.

But he didn't know that perhaps it was the dying anger of the dead man who cursed him, and Manokov's evil finally reached its climax, and with him it should be the beginning of pain........
