Chapter 20: I Can't Die
As soon as Tang Minmei's upper body leaned outward, she could already feel the strong gravity pulling her.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her back into the living room.
The force was so strong that she fell to the ground.
Mother is back?
Tang Minmei looked back in surprise.
No one.
How could there be no one? The power just now can't be an illusion at all!
Tang Minmei got up and looked around in surprise.
No one, indeed.
Whoever saved her just now should make some sound, such as shouting, or footsteps.
However, nothing.
Tang Minmei stood motionless in the middle of the living room, listening carefully.
She didn't hear anything.
There was no one else in this house but her.
But soon, she calmed down.
What is a person who decides to end his own life afraid of?
She came to the balcony again, ready to jump.
As if fearing to be rescued again, she didn't hesitate to walk briskly to the balcony and pounce out.
Suddenly, the world swirled, and she was once again pulled back indoors by a strange force.
She fell down again, staring at the ceiling in amazement.
No one, no one here.
Who the hell is it?
She was agitated, definite to her feet, quickly inspecting the rooms.
Finally, she made her way to the door and looked out through the cat's eyes.
The hallway was pitch black, with only a few twisted silhouettes faintly visible.
She stood thoughtfully for a moment, then went to the kitchen and picked up a sharp fruit knife.
If you can't jump off the building, you can cut your wrists.
She went to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water.
The blade of the fruit knife slashed through the wrist, but it didn't even cut the skin.
How is that possible?
Tang Minmei looked at the blade in surprise.
Suddenly annoyed, she grabbed the hilt of the knife with both hands and stabbed her heart hard.
"Ahh
The fruit knife flew out suddenly, and she stumbled into the wall.
Who is it? No...... Be...... What is it? What's stopping me?
Tang Minmei's eyes widened and she looked at the fruit knife on the ground in shock.
Just then, the phone rang.
After a moment of hesitation, she picked up the phone.
"Hey...... Mother? ”
"Minmei, what are you doing?"
"Nothing."
"Don't lie to me! Minmei, I really don't understand, you have such a good job, why can't you think about it? ”
Tang Minmei was silent.
Why can't you think about it? Hehe, suicide has nothing to do with work, it's all because of her mother.
On the other side, the mother continued to gush, "Even if you don't think about your job, you should think about me, right?" I'm pulling you up alone, is it easy for me? Now that you can finally make money, you don't want to honor me, and you want to kill yourself? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs? What will I do if you die? Who supports me? Your sister died a long time ago, and your father also abandoned us two years ago, I don't expect you to count on anyone? I'm telling you, it's not that easy to die! You must serve me well and give me a good old age! Otherwise, I won't let you be at peace! You ......"
Tang Minmei silently hung up the phone.
She sniffed, her eyes bloodshot.
You can't die if you want to. It's a great irony.
Tang Minmei smiled miserably.
She turned her head to look at the living room, and then at the suicide note.
Since you can't kill yourself, let's leave this house.
She picked up her phone and handbag, opened the door, and walked into the dark night.
She didn't think about how her mother had learned that she was going to kill herself.
She didn't bother to think about it.
Outside, the night was like ink.
☆
In the middle of the night, Shi Yuan suddenly woke up.
When he woke up, he forgot all about the dream that was still very clear.
He gripped the strap of his backpack. He always carries a backpack with him now, and he doesn't put it aside even when he sleeps.
He is now sleeping in his own home, as are Luo Yasen and An Lingxian.
Perhaps because he had been away from home for too long, Shi Yuan had a strange feeling about his home.
After a long period of uninhabited cleaning, there has been a faint smell of damp musty here.
Shi Yuan felt thirsty, so he planned to go out and pour some water to drink.
However, as soon as he opened the bedroom door, he saw a figure standing outside.
"Shi Yuan, I'm ...... I think it's a little ...... Disturbed. ”
An Lingxian said.
"I feel that way, too. Could it be, the next game is about to begin? ”
Shi Yuan guessed.
After experiencing the "game" in the cave last time, Shi Yuan has always felt uneasy.
That "game" is like a quest, but it's not quite like a quest. In the end, Shi Yuan's judgment was that it was part of the mission.
In other words, this mission is composed of several "games".
Shi Yuan poured a glass of warm water and looked around at his home.
Suddenly, without warning, he felt his heart pound violently.
Could it be ......
He immediately turned his head to look, only to find that the door to his bedroom had been closed at some point. And the door lock, which was never used, actually had a key stuck in it.
Shi Yuan and An Lingxian glanced at each other, and then nodded.
Without hesitation, Shi Yuan opened the door and walked in.
Inside, there is a very large room. From where the two of them stood, at the far end stood a few things that Shiyuan had only seen in textbooks and movies.
Guillotine.
From a distance, the guillotines stood in the smoke, which seemed extremely unreal.
Shi Yuan suddenly felt that this scene was familiar.
Where have you seen this?
In his memory, Shi Yuan had never been to any place with a guillotine.
Could it be that dream?
Shi Yuan suddenly remembered that he was awakened by a nightmare just now, but the moment he woke up, he forgot everything in the dream.
"Let's go, go over and have a look."
Shi Yuan said a word to An Lingxian, and then walked quickly towards the guillotine.
The closer they got, the more they felt that those guillotines gave a strong sense of oppression.
From a distance, you can't feel how big the guillotines are. When I got closer, I really felt that those things, just standing on the sidelines and looking at them, had a feeling of suffocation.
The smoke coming out of nowhere was constantly steaming and churning, and the air around it was extremely humid and uncomfortable.
"It's ...... What the? ”
An Lingxian was stunned and looked up.
There was a lot of blood on the huge axe.
Suddenly, a terrible scream came from the side.
Both of them were startled, and immediately turned their heads to see the axe on the guillotine farthest away from them fall with a bang.
There was a loud bang, and the screaming stopped.
They couldn't see what was on the ground, because the thick smoke covered everything tightly.
All they heard was what seemed to be a sphere falling to the ground, rolling incessantly.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Shi Yuan said again: "Let's go over and have a look." ”
