He killed someone again.

This time, he set his sights on Ji Shuli, Ye Yingying's sweetheart.

When Ye Yingying broke down and yelled at Jiang Jianian, Jiang Jianian just watched coldly.

Ye Yingying asked, "Why?"

Jiang Jianian simply said calmly, "There's no reason why."

There's no reason why.

The first time he did something like this was because of Jiang Yanqiang. He had planned it for a long time and had been scheming for a long time. After doing it for the first time, he did not feel fear or apprehension, but rather relief.

Once the demons within are awakened, he is completely plunged into darkness.

The first time he did something like this, he perfectly covered up all the evidence and answered the police questions with extreme calmness. Seeing the sympathy shown to him by those around him, he knew he had succeeded. No one would doubt that a child who was excellent in character and academics and never fought back against his abusive father was actually planning such things every day.

A devil is a devil.

He was tempted to do it again.

He knew that he wasn't actually doing it for any particular reason, but rather because he wanted to.

This is terrible.

His remaining rationality and values ​​vaguely told him that he was on a path of no return, but there was no turning back. He found a reason for himself, and that reason was Ye Yingying.

He was actually just letting the demon in his heart awaken, and using Ye Yingying as an excuse was more about making himself restrain himself a little.

He always felt that he and Ye Yingying were kindred spirits.

He killed someone, and Ye Yingying just watched. Although she was afraid, her first reaction was not to call the police but to take advantage of him, because Ye Yingying knew that he had helped her get rid of an obstacle.

Ye Yingying acquiesced.

Jiang Jianian is also enjoying this process.

He still has his own kind, at least he still has his own kind, so he won't be so lonely.

But Ye Yingying began to change; she seemed to want to crawl out of the darkness and break free.

They were clearly of the same kind, yet someone reached out to Ye Yingying. Although this woman had no blood on her hands, she was never one to be trifled with. So why would someone be willing to reach out to her?

Jiang Jianian felt betrayed.

So he reached out to Ye Yingying, even choosing a time when Ye Yingying was already pregnant.

He finally saw fear in Ye Yingying's eyes, not the indifference of before, but fear. They were not the same kind of people. Ye Yingying had always been very afraid. She always pretended to be calm, but in fact she was always very scared. She broke down and yelled at him, questioning Jiang Jianian in anguish.

Amidst Ye Yingying's fear, Jiang Jianian discovers that he has always been in darkness, being swallowed by darkness, an endless darkness.

Ye Yingying called the police.

He had long since discovered that she was secretly preparing evidence to report to the police, but he did not expose her.

He just felt lonely; the people he thought were his kind actually saw him as a monster.

Ye Yingying's hysteria made Jiang Jianian feel that there was no fun in it, and the process of committing crimes also made Jiang Jianian feel bored. At first, it was a little challenging, but later he just felt that it was meaningless.

He was arrested.

He confessed to all the crimes.

He was arrested for intentional homicide. Before being sentenced, he was lying in the detention center when he had a dream. He dreamed that a girl stopped him before he could kill her.

When he woke up, he forgot how she had stopped him, and he also forgot what the girl looked like, but he was obsessed with her. He ran away from the detention center and was looking for someone, looking for the shadow in his dream.

Nothing was gained.

He committed suicide; he ended his life by suicide.

He jumped off the high-rise building, as if returning from the human world to hell. He knew he was a devil, but Jiang Yanqiang had amplified the devil in his heart. He was always reaching into hell, and no one could reach out and stop him.

Never.

—The End—
