"Tick, tick"
I looked at the clock on the wall, looking back at the iron walls around me, and it was clear that this was no longer Hu Zaide's duplex building, but somewhere else.
I crawled to the corner of the cage in pain, gasping for air, looking at Li Ruina lying in the cage next to me, she was still asleep before she opened her eyes.
The wound was still bleeding, and the limbs were completely weak. I put my hand in my pocket and touched it, but I didn't find my phone, it seemed that it had been taken by Hu Zaide.
Losing my phone meant losing the only contact with the outside world, and I touched the inside pocket of my jacket again, and fortunately 8 was still there.
Although its system is long gone, it has a positioning function that at least tells us where we are. However, the biggest problem now is that because I haven't turned it on for a long time, I naturally don't remember to charge it, and I took it with me purely to leave a thought for myself.
I looked around the room again, and suddenly I found a two-hole socket on the outside of the cage where Li Rena was kept.
But with just an outlet, no charger, I still can't charge my 8.
At this moment, Li Ruina suddenly woke up, she saw me at a glance, and then lowered her head.
"You already know that person is me, right?" Li Ruina's expression was full of pain when she said this.
I nodded.
"yes, when I saw the pained look on your hand when I saw the hot water on your hand, I thought of the woman who was wearing a mask and pointed her gun at me, and her hands were splashed with sulfuric acid. In fact, I should have thought that our inner ghost was you, but deep down I didn't want to admit it. The reason why Yu Bo was able to enter the building of the research center in the first place and master the institutions inside must also be your credit. However, at that time, you may have been deceived or your conscience was discovered, and then you felt your sin, and tried to sacrifice yourself to save our lives, but in the end you were saved by me. ”
"All of this is right, I have always been the inner ghost, it was me and Yu Bo who killed so many professors together, and my sin is unforgivable. But why do you still want to save me? Li Ruina turned her head to me, and there was a sadness in her eyes.
I stared into Li Ruina's eyes: "Because you are a very important person to me, although you are not an unforgettable love like Arthur, but you are also a partner who is unwilling to give up life and death." I've seen too many people go and I don't want to see you die in front of me anymore. ”
"That's right." Li Ruina smiled with relief, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
"Why are you with Yu Bo? Why help him kill these professors? ”
"Because he saved me, when I was dying," Li Rena paused for a few seconds, seemingly caught in a cold memory, and then continued, "Do you remember what I told you about me and my mother being kidnapped?" ”
I nodded.
She continued: "Jack learned of my existence six years ago and tried to convince my mother to take me back to him. Although my mother was resistant at first, I knew that she had been thinking about Jack in her heart, so she finally made up her mind to take me back to Jack. I still remember that day when the snow was so thick that it covered all the ridges. My mother and I had a big fight over trivial matters in the car that Jack had sent to pick us up, and I pushed the door out in anger to give the robbers a chance.
The two robbers tied us up in the mountains, killed the driver Jack sent to pick us up, and took the opportunity to demand a ransom from Jack. Jack paid the robber the full amount of money offered by the robber. But they still changed their minds temporarily and decided to tear up the votes for the two of us.
My mother died in front of my eyes, and she was shot through the head by one of the robbers and pushed off the cliff. Before she died, she secretly hid a stolen knife between my bound hands, and I used the knife to cut the rope on my mother's hands as she was pushed down, and kept running.
I kept running, I kept running, and I was afraid that if I stopped, I would never be able to get up again, and I would die there like this. But I was shot in the shin and hit the ground hard.
One of the robbers pointed a pistol at my heart, and a sense of helplessness and despair that I had never felt before filled my heart. At that time, I prayed in my heart that I would give up my soul if I could live to avenge my mother.
However, at this moment, a knife flew into the robber's chest, and the other flew into the head of the robber behind."
"It was Yu Bo who saved you?"
"Yes, you guessed it right, it was Yu Bo who saved me."
"So, from now on, you will work hard for Yu Bo?"
"No, at first I was grateful to Beau, and he had reservations about me and didn't tell me the truth. It was only then that I found a connection to Yitzhak in the badge on the kidnapper's chest, and finally learned who my true enemy was. After that, I went back to Jack's side, secretly investigated Yitzhak through my relationship with Jack, and came to the company.
One of the times Yitzhak tried to get rid of me by detonating the building, and that was the first time we met, and I was saved by you.
When I was actively involved in AI projects, Yu Bo tried to get me to provide him with information about the professors I had come into contact with at HKUST. After that, he tried to get me to provide him with the drawings of the research center and the setup of the mechanism.
But I really didn't expect to kill so many people because of this, and I felt so guilty that I wanted to sacrifice myself to forgive my sins. But at that time, you saved me and gave me the idea of living.
I wanted to wash my hands and never contact Yu Bo again, but unexpectedly, Yitzhak came to China and killed Jack and took everything that belonged to me.
At the time of Nanny Zhang's death, Yu Bo told me that the Elfa company he founded would lead to the destruction of the whole world, and asked me if I should join forces with him, on the one hand, for revenge, and on the other hand, to save all mankind.
So I followed Yubo and together began a journey to fight Elfa, find the Professor, and kill him. It's just that when we found the real professor, you suddenly appeared. You rescued the professor and disrupted all our plans"
