Fifteen years ago, Calder had been living in the United States for five years with hatred for Li Shaotang, and every day he was living under the double pressure of his own body and mind.

"John, stay in America, believe me, I will not dislike you at all, and our country will never dislike those who pursue freedom and equality, whether for themselves or for others!"

It was the fifteenth time this month that John's wife had called him, but he nodded deeply on the other end of the line, but in order to control his crying, a mouth that had been deformed to an unsightly angle said the exact opposite: "Mary! Listen to me, don't wait for me any longer, from the beginning I chose a path with no end in sight, and now I have been forced to the mouth of that cold cliff, I don't want to do this, but I can't control myself at all, I will only ruin your life like this, Mary, give up on me, I wish you happiness, God will bless you for me!"

After saying that, Calder hung up the phone without stopping for a moment, and crouched there to hide his face and wept by himself, so sad that tears seemed to flow from his left eye, which was completely rotten.

But no matter how much Mary tried to keep her, she must return to China, for the events of that night five years ago had completely ruined him, and since then his spirit has begun to deviate, until he has completely lost sight of which is himself and which is someone else.

And what's even more strange is that in the past ten days, I have always unconsciously fallen into that terrifying moment of that night again in my dreams.

One autumn five years ago, Li Shaotang tortured him and Lao Lin Tou privately in the Qing government prison in Shanghai, China, but the things used were indeed a little strange, as if they were a torture instrument handed down from ancient China - a soldering iron, although it was marked with Qin characters, but it was obvious that judging from the strange animal ornaments on it, this thing was definitely a thousand years earlier than Qin.

"Speak quickly! What exactly is the purpose of diving into the Beiyang Navy Mansion late at night?" Li Shaotang was afraid that they would find out the secret of him and the Japanese that day, and after letting them out alive, he would find out about his embezzlement of shipbuilding funds and unauthorized change of the caliber of shells, and the admiral also explained that he must not let the surnamed Lin go out alive, so he planned to kill them by lynching tonight, and finally committed suicide by pretending to be guilty, and the matter would naturally come to an end, anyway, the dead man would never speak.

After using all kinds of punishments, the two of them were still stubborn, they didn't say anything, of course they didn't die, they just sighed, Li Shaotang didn't have a plan at the moment, thought about it and thought about it, and finally he thought of the treasures offered by a group of Tufuzi in the troubled days a few days ago, and said that it was amazing, and said that for it, they died a lot of people, but Li Shaotang didn't find anything special except that it was indeed an antiquity, and he didn't find anything special, and it was just an exaggeration that people wanted to live, but he had a lot of treasures, There was no need to deal with a group of dead people, and he immediately ordered that the execution would be carried out at noon that day, and he never needed any reason to kill, and there was no such thing as sparing anyone's life.

Half an hour later, the jailer brought the treasure from Li Shaotang's house without stopping, and rode straight to the cells of Lao Lintou and Calder, because a slow step could kill him.

"My lord, bring the treasure!" The jailer's hand at the soldering iron shook a little involuntarily.

Li Shaotang saw through the deep fear of him in his heart at a glance, but he didn't say anything at the moment, just said unrevealed: "Go, put it in that stove!"

The jailer did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly stood up and complied.

"I heard that Shanghai's top famous Hua Dan Magnolia likes you very much, but what's wrong with you? But you don't appreciate it?" Li Shaotang raised Lao Lin's chin, which was still dripping with blood, and asked with great disdain.

But Lao Lin didn't reply for a long time, because he had nothing to say to this kind of person who only knew how to drink all day long, he didn't think about what love was and what love was, he was just blindly pursuing pleasure when he lived.

"Master Li is asking you!" The jailer's trembling hands were full of strength to beat the weak, who was completely restrained.

"Hey, stop! Before a feast comes up, let Master Lin have a good rest!" Li Shaotang actually raised his hand to stop him, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd.

"Kill if you want to, be happy!" Old Lin Tou is really a man.

"Oops! Sure enough, it lives up to its name! It's rare for Magnolia to exchange her body for you, her whole body is really white, it's like snow, and her skin is very smooth!" Li Shaotang said with a very obscene expression.

"What the hell did you do?!" Old Lin Tou raised his head and suddenly became irritable.

"What else can I do? My fame is so big in Shanghai? Of course I'm doing what I do best! I don't know how Master Lin is, I heard that you haven't married a wife since you were thirty years old, wouldn't it be ......" Li Shaotang glanced at Old Lin's body, and the ridicule was obviously full of sarcasm!

"Lin, don't listen to his nonsense, Miss Bai is a traditional Chinese woman who knows how to respect herself, she will never do that kind of thing, he just wants to stimulate you!" Calder saw that the spirit of the old forest head was about to collapse completely, and he hurriedly shouted on the sidelines.

"Did Lord Ben let you speak?" As he spoke, Li Shaotang picked up the red-hot soldering iron that had been burning in the furnace and went straight to Calder's eyes......

"Ah......h

"Li Shaotang has a kind of you coming at me, what Magnolia looks down on the most is your daily indulgence in alcohol!"

As soon as Li Shaotang heard this, he immediately became angry, and the veins in Lao Lintou's neck burned like a runaway bull.

Although the white smoke continued to rise, for two minutes, the old forest did not make a sound.

Both of them fainted after such intense torture, and when they woke up three days later they found themselves ten miles outside the city.

Although they didn't know what happened after that, they didn't dare to rush into the city, and after asking someone to go in first to inquire, they made sure that Li Shaotang was no longer there, and the two cautiously sneaked back, Lao Lin Tou went to find Magnolia, and Calder returned to the American Concession, thinking about his discovery in the Beiyang Naval Mansion, he wanted to sell his advanced shipbuilding and gun technology to the Qing government, but for some reason someone has been blocking him, he doesn't know where this inexplicable power comes from, Is it the United States or the Qing Dynasty, which is still self-isolated......

"What?! Magnolia is dead? What's going on?" Old Lin Tou had just walked to Magnolia's residence when he heard such a bad news that made him feel like the whole world had collapsed in an instant.

Magnolia's maid continued tremblingly: "Just three days ago, at very late that night, Miss Bai called me to get up and prepare a dress for her, and I asked her, it's so late, where is this going!" But she just said that she was going to see a mysterious person in the tea house across the sea, but she didn't say who that person was, Miss didn't come back all night, and the next morning, I came out to look for it, but I saw the naked body of Miss ** on the beach, and it has been floating there for three whole days so far, but I don't know why since then the government has inexplicably ordered that no one is allowed to go to sea, and after several twists and turns, I haven't been able to bring Miss's body back, Miss's life is really bitter!"

When the maid spoke of the sorrow, she hid her face and began to cry.

And Lao Lin Tou knew that Magnolia, and he would go out to meet some mysterious person so late, he must have heard about his arrest, and his heart was like a knife at this moment.

But the most important thing at the moment is to bring back Yulan's body, and how not to let Yulan suffer this kind of humiliation after death.

That night, Lao Lin Tou took advantage of the change of guard at the beach, took a Western swimming ring and a suit of clothes, and hurriedly went into the water to swim to the depths of the sea.

However, although the moonlight was dark at this time, under this faint light, it was reasonable to say that he should be able to see the reflection of his neck, but in this deep water, how could only one head hang over a body that only surfaced a little? And now he could still feel the pain in his skin very clearly, and he was so frightened that he took several steps back in succession.

At this time, Nakald's residence, which was a few hundred meters away, was also full of fear when he looked at his left eye, which had been completely blinded, and through the hollow in the shape of the soldering iron, he could directly see the wall behind his head, and the sudden pain once again enveloped him in an insurmountable hell......

Lao Lin Tou has endured enough blows in the past few days, but what if he is actually a human or a ghost? There is nothing left in this world to be nostalgic for.

After thinking about it, the old forest head once again stepped on the water and swam towards the faintly white center of the sea, but when he got closer, Magnolia's body suddenly disappeared...... The old Lin Tou was very puzzled and hurriedly looked around, and even suspected that he had just seen it wrong, but at this time he was surprised to find that the white magnolia was in the water where he had just swam over. He stared at her with a numb scalp, and his hands trembled inexplicably in this sudden terror, but after calming down a little, he took a deep breath and swam towards her without choice.

However, she disappeared again, reflecting the shadow of herself without a neck reflected in the deep dark water, and the scene was very ghostly, but at this time, there were several very terrible screams inexplicably from the prison where they were three days ago, as if the whole city was covered in a suffocating strangeness......
