Chapter 33: The Secret

Li Yanxia only felt an uncontrollable tremor all over her body. The tremor www.biquge.info was born of fear, but it was not the fear of the nightmare or the death of her husband, but the fear of being seen through.

The secret she had hidden in the deepest part of her heart for 20 years was now being seen through by a high school student, and this feeling made her feel like she was on pins and needles. She looked at Shi Yuan with her mouth open, closed her mouth, and opened her mouth again, repeating this several times before finally saying a few words.

"I ...... There is no ......"

She lowered her head, frightened, her lips twitching, and her face turned as white as paper.

She suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

Is all this happening today due to her ridiculous idea back then? If this is the case, then her husband is the one she killed! Not only that, but the white zombie doesn't seem to show any signs of stopping killing, and it's likely that she will be killed by it too, in an extremely brutal way.

Li Yanxia felt as if she was in a huge pit, and the cold black tide was rushing towards her, engulfing her violently and overwhelming her.

"Nope! No! She suddenly shook her head frantically, "Aixue is not dead!" I just had a dream, he woke me up, and I saw him standing in front of me......"

"I understand your feelings, Mr. Li, you just don't want to admit all this."

Shi Yuan didn't continue to ask, but he knew that it was only a matter of time before Li Yanxia told the secret. It's just that he doesn't know how much time is left. If Li Yanxia dies before the end time of the mission, then this mission is likely to become an unsolvable mystery. If this is the case, the only thing that awaits them is death.

Shi Yuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time.

August 3, 10:30 a.m.

There isn't much time left until the end of the mission.

So far, progress on their mission has been slow. In addition to Zhu Xiaofu painted a few paintings with prophecy or curse nature, Lin Yaqing's sister and father are also related to Dark Crow Ridge, and Li Yanxia is the art teacher of the year, so little is known. Although Shi Yuan and others have designated Zhu Xiaofu's paintings as task items that need to be handed over to Tong Yuancui, they have not found the whereabouts of those paintings so far, so this information is meaningless.

"Teacher Li, Teacher Lin also called me early this morning." Shi Yuan said.

"She also called? Oh yes, she called me several times too, and I didn't hear any. I contacted her and asked her what was the matter. After speaking, Li Yanxia took out her mobile phone in a panic and dialed Lin Yaqing's number.

Although Lin Yaqing was very worried about Li Yanxia's safety, she still maintained her usual dignity and composure. After listening to Li Yanxia's brief account of the situation at midnight, Lin Yaqing told the reason for her call.

"Sister Li, in fact, there are two main reasons why I called at that time, the first reason is that I suddenly have a strong uneasiness, and I always feel that you may be in danger. The uneasiness was too strong for me to ignore it, and you had indeed encountered unbelievable events in the past two days, so I called you. The second reason was that I finally convinced my dad to tell him what he knew. He said that he found several paintings in the car that year, and one of them depicted Yawen when she died, so he took the paintings back to the criminal police team as evidence and stored them in the evidence room. ”

"Really? Great, there's a way to do it. Thank you, Yaqing. ”

Li Yanxia did not relax because of this. She hung up the phone, but her eyes were still staring at the phone screen, not daring to look up at Shi Yuan.

"Is that really serious thing that you don't want to say even if you might lose your life?" Luo Yasen looked at Li Yanxia and said in a cold tone.

Li Yanxia trembled obviously, and her eyes became a little dazed.

Once wanted to kill Zhu Xiaofu, is it really a secret that can't be told even if he dies? In case what they say is true, if I am really going to be killed, is it necessary for me to hide it?

She thought.

"What are you afraid of?" Royassin asked.

"I ......"

"Whatever ever happened, or what you thought, we didn't really care. We just want to complete this task as soon as possible and stay alive. If it's something you're afraid of being known, you can talk to me or Shi Yuan alone. We promise not to tell anyone else, only for the task. ”

Luo Yasen's words broke the last wall in Li Yanxia's heart. She finally made up her mind and slowly raised her head.

"You're right, nothing is more important than life. This incident was a hurdle in my heart, I don't know why I had such thoughts at that time, I was such a terrible person......"

"What's the idea?" Royassin asked.

"After seeing Zhu Xiaofu's two paintings come to life, I felt extremely frightened. I always felt that if he continued to paint, sooner or later he would draw what I would look like, and then, I would die, so I ...... Intend...... Kill him ......"

"You're going to kill him?" Royasson frowned.

"Yes. I'm going to put pesticides in his glass of water and poison him. ”

"Everyone thinks that Zhu Xiaofu committed suicide, but in fact, you killed him?"

"Nope! No! I...... I didn't succeed, I kept waiting for the opportunity outside the house, but I didn't expect Zhu Xiaofu to come back. He committed suicide by drinking the pesticide in his home. ”

"In other words, your so-called idea of killing him, in the end, is just a thought?"

"Uh...... Be...... Yes......" Li Yanxia's face turned gray and sat down in a chair.

"That's it? What you want to hide is a thought? Royasen was a little speechless.

"It's a stain on my life."

Luo Yasen wanted to say something, but Shi Yuan suddenly spoke: "Teacher Li, is there a person with many arms in Zhu Xiaofu's painting?" ”

"Lots of arms?" Li Yanxia looked at Shi Yuan and said blankly.

"Yes. Have it? ”

"Probably not, at least not in the paintings I've seen. To be honest with you, I actually only stayed at the Raven Ridge Village Primary School for less than a month. After that series of events, I couldn't continue to persevere, so I quit my internship and returned to Haiyuan. Zhu Xiaofu is just a student of my activity class, and the paintings I have seen are only so ...... Three ......"

When talking about the last two words "three", Li Yanxia paused slightly.

"You've seen more than three paintings. Say, what kind of paintings are there? Shi Yuan said.

"There are really only three. Unless...... Unless you count what you see in your dreams. ”
