The wind blew in through the broken window and rolled up the powder-blue gauze curtains.
I liked powder-blue very much.
On my ninth birthday, my father suddenly came home. From what my relatives said, I knew that he had divorced my mother when I was very young, so it was the first time I saw him. My father, who looked very strange, brought me a smooth dress from the south. It was a powder-blue color rarely seen in my hometown. I could only wear my cousin's old clothes in the past, but I was completely captivated by its dreamy color at first glance.
I wore it to school every day for a week, until I had to change it.
The sky was very blue during that time, and it matched my dress very well. Dinner was also very sumptuous during that time, and my mother looked very beautiful when she smiled with my father.
But soon, my father disappeared again. My mother also cut the dress into pieces and threw it away. She pulled my hair and told me not to cry, saying that my father bought me a present to cheat her of money. Just like that, I wore my cousin's old sportswear again.
But those things had nothing to do with me, and I still loved the powder-blue color.
So, when I walked into the house and saw the powder-blue gauze curtains everywhere, my mood immediately became very good. He looked at me and held my hand with such a beautiful smile. "I know you like this, so I picked this room."
No matter what he had become, he was still so gentle. Things that I didn't even dare to think about in the past really happened. It was just the two of us, and we stayed together day and night. It was like a dream.
Sometimes, if I was unlucky, no one would pass by for a few days. Every time he had to put his mouthpiece into my arm, he would say to me tenderly and lovingly, "Xiao Yuan, you are such a good woman. I will definitely cherish you … "
He never sucked too much from my body, and when I started to feel dizzy, he would immediately stop. Every time he pulled his mouthpiece out of my flesh, blood would splatter out, and my powder-blue curtains were stained with blood. I secretly washed it with mineral water behind his back, but I didn't expect to be discovered. I had never seen him so angry before. He hugged me and sobbed, "Only with the water can you stay by my side …"
His body trembled, and even his mouthparts were buzzing.
I haven't washed the curtains since.
You can call me childish, but I still secretly carved a small umbrella in the corner of the wall. Under the umbrella, I wrote "Chen Xiaoyuan and Pei Jun".
As I leaned over the windowsill, waiting to snipe at passers-by, I could feel the words with my hand.
Every time someone was knocked down, he would happily praise me and go downstairs to drag the body back. Later on, Ah Jun said that the body fluids on the corpses weren't fresh and that he should try to hit the target's legs … Although I felt sorry for them, there was nothing I could do about it.
There was a clock in the room, its shell half melted away, but the hands were still going strong.
It was incredible how many images flowed through my mind in such a short period of time. I moved my numb legs and leaned on the windowsill. Then, I fired another bullet into the air. Ah Jun seemed to have been gone for more than an hour. He would never leave for so long in the past. Was it really like what the man had said? Ah Jun was hurt by him?
At such a critical moment, the two of them didn't say anything. If Ah Jun really lost an arm, he should be able to rush back here in time, right? What should I do?
"Brother! The duoluozhong is with me. I cut off its mouthparts. Come quickly, it's still moving! "
Suddenly, the young girl's voice rang again. In an instant, what filled my mind wasn't relief from knowing where Ah Jun was, nor was it concern for Ah Jun who had lost his mouthparts, but anger.
Who is she? How dare she talk about the gentle and kind Ah Jun in such a tone, as if she was talking about an insect?!
However, the anger only lasted for a short moment. In the next second, a practical problem surfaced in my mind. I had to save him quickly. Without the mouthparts, I could hang the girl's body upside down. That way, her bodily fluids would flow into Ah Jun's mouth … Although it wasn't fresh, I believed that Ah Jun wouldn't mind.
I immediately stood up and removed the traps in the corridor. Then, I ran towards the 'Red Heart Cake Room'.
Apart from my eyesight, I hadn't evolved any of my basic abilities. I had already noticed that something was wrong with Ah Jun during the early stages of evolution. At that time, I had told myself that as long as I could help him, I would be willing to sacrifice some of my basic abilities. I thought that God must have heard my prayers and granted us our wish.
Then, God would continue to grant us our wish, right? Ah Jun, who had fallen behind the cake rack, would quickly stand up energetically. He would smile at me and say, "Xiao Yuan, you are such a good woman … right?"
I couldn't remember how many times I shouted. Soon, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck and the world before my eyes turned black.
When I woke up again, I found myself firmly tied up. My mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth and my eyes were blindfolded. I couldn't see anything and couldn't open my mouth. Only my pair of ears could clearly hear the sounds coming from the outside world. The one who was speaking loudly at this time was the girl who had called out to her brother from downstairs.
She seemed to be unable to control her emotions. Her tone was very agitated, "I said no! If it was during the course of a battle or to protect herself or her companions, I can understand. But look at her now. She has basically lost the ability to move, right? You want me to kill a defenseless and defenseless person. How can I do that? "
"Then, do you plan to stay in this instance for the rest of your life?" The voice of the brother from earlier rang out leisurely.
They seemed to have not noticed that I had woken up from my coma.
The girl from earlier suddenly became mute. Even I, who couldn't see, could feel the stagnation in the air. After a while, she said in a low voice, "I don't believe that there is only one way! Didn't you say it yourself? You said that the instance doesn't only have this kind of 'two armies against each other' type. Then, there must be another way to end the instance. What about Big Brother Ji? I want to ask him for his opinion. "
Although I didn't know what a instance was, I had a feeling that they didn't sound like siblings …
The brother said something in a low voice. His voice was very muffled and the girl didn't hear it clearly. She immediately asked, "What?"
He replied, "Nothing."
However, since I was closer to him, I heard what he said clearly. He said, "So annoying, your senses are really sharp."
To be honest, I wasn't a smart child since I was young. Right now, I was completely confused by them. Whether they killed me or not, I didn't care because I was only worried about one thing: How is Ah Jun?
Where is he?
The 'brother' seemed to be very annoyed and paced back and forth a few times. I didn't dare to move and maintained my original position. I was afraid that they would find out that I had woken up. He suddenly sighed and said, "Alright, what you said makes sense. I really can't not respect your feelings. Then, let's leave her here and wait for Ah Ji to come back. "
The girl suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. Her voice even sounded a little grateful, "Thank you. Let's do that!"
"Then, let's go. Marcie and the others must be waiting anxiously …" The 'brother' seemed to have finally given up. The girl replied, "Mm." The sound of their footsteps gradually moved further away from me. The door opened and closed. The room was silent.
Phew. My life is saved?
"Wait, Xiao Jiu. I'll go back and check on the woman." Suddenly, the 'brother's' voice came from outside the door again. I was startled and quickly held my breath.
"Alright, hurry up …" The girl stood outside the door and said.
The man entered the door. A few strange noises that sounded like someone was cutting something quickly cut through the air. Then, the sound of footsteps quickly arrived in front of me. Suddenly, the cloth in front of me was pulled away. Fortunately, I was prepared for it. My eyes were still tightly closed.
A large hand grasped my chin tightly and jerked my face to the side, gripping it so tightly that it hurt. Then, the man's voice sounded in a low voice, "I know you're awake … Open your eyes and take a good look."
I shivered and opened my eyes.
Ah Jun's broken body that had been cut into pieces was scattered in front of me. His body fluids and blood were mixed together. His head was cut off and placed on the ground in front of me. My favorite pair of eyes that were as slender as those of a Korean celebrity were looking at me blankly. The mouthparts were still there, and so were the arms. However, they were separated and thrown far away …
I heard a meaningless' wu wu 'sound coming from my mouth. It sounded like I was crying.
The man with a pair of fox-like eyes and a smile stuffed something into my ear. Then, he turned around and walked out of the door. Only then did I realize that Ah Jun and I had been moved into our room. Next to me was the pink and blue curtain that I loved so much.
"Is she still unconscious?" The girl's voice came from outside the door.
"Yes, she's still unconscious," the man said.
I didn't have time to think about the man's intention because Ah Jun's miserable appearance had already occupied my entire retina.
I didn't expect to hear the man's voice at that moment.
"This person is called Pei Jun, right? He has abandoned you, he has died first. However, he didn't suffer when he died. To be able to leave such a scary world with a woman that he didn't love, it's a relaxing thing … "
"He didn't love you. In order for you to hunt for him, he had no choice but to be tied to you. It's too hard. Death is also a release. "
"… How pitiful. You were abandoned by your father when you were young. No one liked you. Even your mother often said that you were a burden. After all, without you, your mother would definitely be happy … What an unnecessary person. "
The voice seemed to have some kind of magical power. It entangled with Ah Jun's corpse in front of me and formed a psychedelic abstract painting. I cried so hard that I couldn't hear what he said after that. I didn't even think to ask him how he knew. Only one sentence seemed to have a life of its own and entered my ears. "I untied the rope for you just now. Go to the drawer by the window and take a look … "
I struggled to free myself from the rope and opened the drawer. The sentence, 'Without a lover, no one loves you. What are you going to do in this world, all alone? 'was still echoing in my head.
There was a metal bullet floating in the drawer that I was very familiar with.
I'm sorry. I don't know who I'm saying this to. Maybe I'm talking to myself. This world is too scary. I can't take it anymore.
There was a bang. The last thing I saw was the pink and blue curtain that had lost its original color after being stained by my own blood.
"Ah …"
Li Zhijun, who had just walked down the stairs, stopped and looked at Lin Sanjiu with watery eyes. "Did that sound come from the 15th floor?"
