Chapter 33: A Cruel Test
The eerie silence in the cell seemed to silently say, "The end is the end." β
A twisty and bizarre, black and tragic story! No matter how it is told, no matter who the listener is, it is enough to form an invisible gravitational pull on the ear.
A sigh broke the silence in the room, and the old voice sounded a little strange: "So, from time to time, all you need to do is to hate the house and the black, release the resentment and hatred in your heart to this rotten society, and then treat the people around you like an abominable society?" β¦β¦ Hehe! I can relate to this mentality. β
"Is that why you kidnapped me? Vent your dissatisfaction with society on others for no apparent reason? And is that the unfortunate person today me? He Like asked loudly.
This time it was the turn of the old voice to be silent.
Finding that the other party was speechless for a while, He Like sneered again: "I am different from you, I have my principles, no matter how snobbish and ruthless I am, everything I do is understandable whether it is in front of the law or behind morality, and no one has the right to accuse me." β
The old voice actually laughed: "Law and morality, hehe, in front of the class, they are all nothing, they can't distinguish between right and wrong, and they can only restrain those who are incompetent." Miss Ho, cover up your initial mistakes with one mistake after another, or prove you right with one mistake after another - this is the biggest mistake you have made. β
He Like also sneered and said, "I have said everything that should be said, is there the truth you want in it?" β
"Your story is wonderful, but you're running out of time, 25 minutes and 34 seconds."
"Then what do you want, bake me with electricity? Now that you've got your word in the first place, what are you waiting for? He Like a prisoner who has experienced fatigue interrogation at this time, he just wants to make a break quickly, so he almost enters a state of madness.
"Miss He, I'm not just a listener, I'm a witness."
"I wonder what your evil eyes see?"
"A child named Wu Ming."
Hearing the other party mention his son, He Like was suddenly shocked, and shouted anxiously: "What do you want?" β
"Miss He, don't you think this child is your original sin? You don't want to raise him, but you gave birth to him, and you don't even know who his father is......"
"Enough!" He Like screamed and interrupted him, "This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you." β
As if he hadn't heard her, the other party continued in an old voice: "This child is the result of sin, and he should not exist in this world in the first place......
"If you dare to touch a single hair of him, I will never let you go!"
"Huh! Do you want to continue to make mistakes to cover up your original mistakes? You exist, and he is a mistake; He exists, and you keep making mistakes. Therefore, I give you a fairness, choose one of the two, and you mother and son can only keep one in the world. β
"You crazy pervert, you want to kill or chop at me, my child is innocent!" He Li Ke shouted without hesitation.
"It is said that friendship can make people stick a knife in both sides, and I think family affection can make people work hard. Since you have chosen to dedicate yourself to your family, I might as well fulfill you. Miss Ho, solong (goodbye)! β
Before the words fell, He Like began to scream, because he felt that his arms were stiffened again, and the spasm quickly spread all over his body, and even the boots on his legs trembled with the muscles, causing the tips of his shoes to constantly hit the ground, making a "click" sound. The feeling of dying flashed, and He Like's nerves that were shocked by the electric shock still made her still have a little consciousness left, and she smelled a familiar fragrance of flowers......
When he opened his eyes again, He Li found himself sitting alone in the back seat of a car, and the terrifying set of discharging handcuffs on his wrists were gone. She was in high spirits, looking out of the car window, the surrounding environment was so familiar, it was the street she had walked before, surrounded by tall buildings, and the bustling flow of people,...... She couldn't help but think of the intoxicating scent of flowersβthe point she remembered.
It didn't look like heaven or hell in any way, and she couldn't help but wonder if the horrific experience she had had been a nightmare, or if she was in an illusory dream.
Looking at the slight handcuff marks on her wrist, He Li pinched the skin on the back of her hand with force, and the exact pain told her that she was awake at the moment.
"Miss He, you're not dead yet." The ghostly old voice that haunted her rang in her ears again.
The car was empty, He Like subconsciously touched the ear holes on both sides, but there were no headphones or anything like that, and the old voice seemed to come out of thin air in her head. Frightened, she twisted her head and looked around.
"Miss He, don't waste your mind, you can't see me."
"What the hell do you want?" She seemed to have asked this question countless times.
He seemed to hear her speak, and replied, "Give back to others as they are!" It's called fairness. Since you haven't killed anyone, I've decided not to let you die. β
"That's what you said, aren't you afraid that I'll run out and call the police now?" He Like said, his fingers already on the handle of the car door.
"Hahaha! Miss He, why do you need to get out of the car if you want to call the police, the mobile phone is in the pocket of your coat. β
He Li flipped out his mobile phone without thinking, and was about to dial, but found a photo of Feixin just sent on the screen - it was Wu Ming! The birthmark near the right corner of the eye is clear and unambiguous.
"What did you do with Xiao Ming?" She asked, exclaiming.
"Don't worry, Miss He, the photo was captured when Xiao Ming was playing in school after class, you can see how happy he is smiling."
"I warn you to stay away from him!"
"No problem, but you have to do what I say, or I'll make Xiao Ming cry ugly."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you once deprived people of their jobs for being late."
"Isn't it a sin to be unpunctual?" He Li asked confidently.
What about your own sense of punctuality? I want you to take my quiz. β
"What quiz?"
"Miss He, I want you to run all over the city in four hours."
As soon as the voice stopped, He Like received a text message on his mobile phone.
"This is the route I designed for you." The old voice continued, "If you can reach the finish line within the agreed time, even if you win, it will also prove that you are a punctual person. β
"Then you'll get out of my and Xiao Ming's world forever!" He Like roared angrily.
"Of course! But if you're the one who loses......"
"If you really have a kind, you will come at me, the child is innocent."
"Hehe, okay, for the sake of mother's love. Miss He, but it seems that you have always regarded Xiao Ming as the most unfortunate person in the world, in fact, I think he can only rank third at most. β
"What about the first and second?"
"It's me and you!"
"So are you sharing your own great misfortune with others? Have you ever suspected that you are from another planet? β
"Hehe, your cold humor makes me feel hot-headed."
"You use hatred to resolve your misfortunes, and you are destined to live forever in pain, just as if you kicked the ball hard against the wall in front of you, and when you thought you had kicked it away, it bounced back all of a sudden, and the more force you used, the harder it bounced back, because you were always trapped in the wall of pain."
"Shut up! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson. The old voice let out a gasp, then whispered, "No one knows what hatred is better than I do. He pondered for a moment, then added, "Let's get down to business, and if you don't pass the test for a while, I'll take the most beautiful thing from you." β
"What's that?"
"If you win, you don't need to know; If you lose, you'll know then. The clock starts at 11 o'clock, and you have three minutes to prepare. β
He Li Ke raised her left hand, and the old voice said the time as accurately as the Patek Philippe on her wrist. It was then that she realized that it was the morning of the second day after she had been kidnapped.
Outside the car, He Like tried to move his legs and feet, only to suddenly find that he was wearing Josiny boots with a heel height of more than 10 cm.
"I've got to change my shoes." She said.
βnoοΌ noοΌ noοΌ Miss He, isn't your difficult life walking on a tightrope every day? Without further ado, 11 o'clock is just around the corner and you're ready to go. β
He Li had no choice but to start swinging his legs, but before he could run a few steps, bursts of pain came from his toes and ankles.
"You madman!" She scolded.
"Shhhh Miss Ho, if I were you, I would concentrate on running fast. You don't have a bad mouth, and passers-by think you're scolding yourself. β
He Like gradually increased her speed, but the old voice was still close to her ears, and she didn't have time to think about the mystery, so she just cared about the pain. After getting on the overpass and drilling the underpass, she ran for more than half an hour, and she only felt that her feet were numb and her ankles were sore.
The old voice followed me, gloating: "I admire your motherly heart under your haughty, cold, and ruthless appearance, and I like the way you run with your slender legs and cool boots." β
He Li was powerless to respond, looked at her watch, and there was still a long journey of cruel torture waiting for her ahead!
At around half past 12, she ran to the vicinity of Jiuding Building, and out of nowhere she caught up with a kind driver who offered to give her a ride.
"According to the agreement of the test, you can't get in the car, otherwise I will take action against Wu Ming, the child. I will take his spleen out of his body and eat it. The old voice threatened.
He Li was helpless and waved his hand to the driver to show his refusal.
