When Zhou Nian was just taken off the cloth covering his eyes, he was still a little unable to adapt to the bright light.

It took a while for her to see the man sitting on the sofa clearly.

He was only about thirty years old, very tall, and he couldn't tell what kind of mixed race he was, but he mixed very well, because his face really could be called a beautiful man with a graceful demeanor.

The man was also sitting on the sofa, playing with a small fish doll jade pendant in his hand, very patiently waiting for her to get used to it.

"Mrs. Xu, sit."

The man's Chinese is good, at least much more slippery than that spoken by his subordinates.

The matter has come to this point, it has reached such a situation, Zhou Nian knows that his life and death are in the hands of others, so he no longer pretends to be a hero.

He suffered a lot of sins on the bumpy road, as if his two legs were not his own, he let him sit, and Zhou Nian sat down.

"Just call me Joe."

Zhou Nian looked at her calmly: "Mr. Qiao." ”

Joe shrugged and spread his hands: "Well, that's fine." ”

Zhou Nian's gaze naturally fell on his outstretched palm, the white and chubby fish doll was carved very delicate and cute.

Xu noticed that her gaze fell on this, and Qiao's gaze also looked over, and Zhou Nian found that when he looked at this small pendant, the expression in his eyes suddenly became very gentle.

"This was given to me by a young girl from your country."

Joe's gaze seemed to change a little distantly, "At that time, I was only seventeen years old, very young, and of course, she was also very young. ”

He seemed to have thought of something far away, those beautiful blue eyes, squinted slightly, a jade-white face, and the thick eyelashes cast a large shadow under the shadow of the lamp.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and it was clear that the memory was beautiful and pleasant to him.

Zhou Nian didn't speak, just sat silently.

This magnificent mansion is very quiet at the moment.

Under the eaves of the porch outside the house, there is a hanging bird cage, raising all kinds of precious unknown birds.

But at this time, even the birds were silent.

Zhou Nian felt that it was strange to be quiet, and a thin layer of sweat couldn't help but appear on his back, and his clothes were sticking to his back, wet and itchy, and he was indescribably uncomfortable.

She didn't have time to wash up all the way, and Zhou Nian only felt that she couldn't stand the dirty and smelly body anymore.

It's hard for him to sit in this mansion that is as brilliant as a palace, and he can still be as stable as Mount Tai.

Suddenly, there was a subtle voice outside the courtyard, it was a woman's soft voice, which was moving and graceful to the extreme, and even Zhou Nian felt that only in the sky could there be such a wonderful person.

But the smile on Qiao's face suddenly froze.

On his jade-white face, the large area of yin covered by his eyelashes trembled slightly, and in the next moment, his whole face suddenly became hideous.

Zhou Nian only felt indescribably panicked, she subconsciously clenched the armrests on the chair with both hands, and the whole person couldn't help but stick backwards, until her back was tightly pressed against the back of the chair, and she was still trembling.

Joe stood up slowly, he bowed his head slightly, dusted off his sleeves, and casually called a name in a language that Zhou Nian didn't understand.

Soon, a figure like a gray shadow, out of nowhere, stood respectfully in front of Joe.

Zhou Nian saw Qiao raise his hand, and the shadow retreated silently.

But half a minute, no, maybe less.

Zhou Nian suddenly heard a terrible scream, the scream was very short, like the woman with a fairy voice just now.

Soon, the scream turned into a hoarse howl, as if the trapped beast had had its tongue pulled out and its vocal cords severed, and could only make such a broken sound.

Zhou Nian's whole body was shaking, her face turned pale, and her pupils were uncontrollably staring at Qiao in front of her.

The screams continued, even getting closer.

But the birds and finches in the birdcage under the eaves of the corridor are still silent.

Zhou Nian was tortured by that extreme fear and was on the verge of collapse, she wanted to run away, but she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Don't be afraid?" Qiao suddenly opened his mouth gently, he walked in front of Zhou Nian, stood still, and even lowered his posture and bent down his noble waist, like coaxing a child, gently hugged Zhou Nian in his arms, patted her back, and comforted her one by one: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, my poor little rose, I won't do this to you"

His soft voice was in Zhou Nian's ears, and his slender fingers were very soft and warm, but Zhou Nian was not only not appeased, but trembling became more and more powerful.

Fear was like a sudden rising tide surging into the sky, swallowing Zhou Nian's entire person.

She smelled the strong smell of blood in the quiet air, and her stomach began to tumble in bursts, Zhou Nian almost wanted to gag, but Qiao still patiently gently stroked her back and comforted her.

But the scream was already close at hand, and Zhou Nian could even see it clearly, the woman with half of her face bloody, who was dragged in.

She has very beautiful long golden curly hair, she is wearing a long white nightgown embroidered in the palace style, her bare feet are as white as snow, and every inch of her bare skin is flawless, which shows that she is usually pampered.

But at this time, her whole person was already miserable.

Zhou Nian's eyes widened as he watched as the woman was dragged in and thrown directly to the ground.

Her whole body was convulsing, convulsing, and her mouth kept spitting out bright red blood, like a fish that had been slaughtered.

"Why?"

Zhou Nian looked at Qiao in a daze, she couldn't understand what kind of big mistake this woman had made to be tortured by him like this.

Her face had been completely ruined, the lower half of her face to be exact, not only had her tongue cut out, but the lower half of her face seemed to have been cut off, weird, distorted, but so bloody that people didn't dare to look at it at all.

Qiao's eyes were extremely gentle, he looked at Zhou Nian, and his voice was still soft: "She's too noisy." ”

Just four words, Qiao said casually and casually, but a young girl's life was completely ruined.

"Crazy, crazy!"

Zhou Nian shook her head in a daze, and pushed Qiao's hand away, she looked at him, as if looking at some terrible ghost: "You are a complete madman, and there is no humanity at all!" ”

"What is human nature?"

Qiao looked at Zhou Nian, and his pupils were empty, "Mrs. Xu, come and tell me, what is human nature, and what is the so-called human nature?" ”
