Chapter 503 One Step Away (Part 2)

In the courtyard separated from Rong Yi by a high wall, next to the tiger garden, Luo Dongdong, hunched over and slightly staggering, questioned Zhi Luo over and over again with red eyes:

"Why kill people...why..."

Zhiluo looked relaxed as usual, not caring at all. He slowly cut the meat into pieces and threw them into the cage to feed the tiger, while asking Luo Dongdong:

"You've killed a few people, haven't you? If not three thousand, at least eight hundred. What's all the fuss?"

"But I killed the enemy!" Luo Dongdong was a little upset. "I killed all the Black Scale Cavalry! Other than that, I didn't hurt any innocent people!"

Zhi Luo curled his lips and looked at Luo Dongdong coldly:

"So what do you want?"

Luo Dongdong clenched his fists, choking and struggling with each word:

"Come with me, I'll take you to the government office to confess your crime..."

"Hahaha..." Zhi Luo seemed to have heard some particularly interesting joke and said in disbelief:

"Report to the authorities? You mean, ask them to execute me? I didn't expect you to be so cruel. Are you tired of me and want to find someone else? You don't have to be so cruel, do you? Hahaha..."

"Don't talk nonsense! I've always..."

I have always loved you, admired you, and regarded you as the most important woman in my life! I hope to marry you one day!

Luo Dongdong couldn't utter the following few words. His chest felt like it was choked by wet cotton and was aching.

Seeing Zhiluo's indifferent attitude from beginning to end and his indifference to his evil deeds being exposed, Luo Dongdong gritted his teeth, walked forward, pulled Zhiluo up and walked out. His strength was so great that Zhiluo was startled.

She struggled hard: "Let me go! Let me go!"

Seeing that Luo Dongdong's face was as dark as iron and his expression was extremely determined, it seemed that he had made up his mind to send Zhiluo to the government office no matter what.

When her crime is announced to the world, she will probably not be able to escape death even with her status as a female official.

In a hurry, Zhiluo used all his strength to drag Luo Dongdong and shouted:

"I'm pregnant! Luo Dongdong! You said you never killed innocent people! But now you want to kill our child?!"

These words really made Luo Dongdong stop suddenly. He looked back at Zhiluo in shock, trying to find evidence of deception on her face.

Zhiluo took the opportunity to shake off Luo Dongdong's hand.

She straightened the clothes that were torn by Luo Dongdong, raised her hand and gently brushed the messy hair on her temples, then looked directly at Luo Dongdong:

"I'm already three months pregnant. I didn't want to tell you at first, and was planning to just drink some abortion medicine. But now I've changed my mind, Luo Dongdong, I want to give birth to this baby."

Luo Dongdong was so shocked that he didn't know how to react.

Catching the hesitation in his eyes, Zhi Luo tried hard to adjust his facial expression, pretending to be weak and regretful:

"Let's leave Kyoto, shall we? Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? You wanted to take me home and let your father meet me? Then let's leave here together and go back to your hometown. I promise that I will never kill anyone again from now on! Actually, I don't know what's wrong with me. I might be sick. Can you take me to see a doctor? When I get better, we can be together as a family of three forever. Please..."

Zhiluo started to cry softly as she spoke, but in her mind she was thinking about how to get rid of Luo Dongdong. She could simply use her power as a female official to transfer Luo Dongdong to the frontier defense outside the Great Wall. If that didn't work, she could just kill him...

Luo Dongdong had no idea what the woman in front of him was thinking.

Looking at Zhiluo crying bitterly, a happy picture of a family of three actually appeared in his mind:

He was working in the fields, Zhiluo was embroidering beside him, and the lively and lovely children were running and laughing on the ridges of the fields, throwing themselves into their grandfather's arms...

The determination he had just expressed collapsed in an instant. Luo Dongdong felt like a shameless and selfish villain who had gone back on his word. He was silent for a long time, and finally took heavy steps and walked out.

Knowing that Luo Dongdong had compromised, Zhi Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, and started feeding the tiger again.

Luo Dongdong left the zoo and walked in silence to the door of the woman who had lost her child.

Ever since he knew that it was Zhiluo who killed the little boy, Luo Dongdong couldn't help but come to see the woman every now and then.

Gradually I found out where the woman lived.

He didn't dare to go forward to comfort her, but just watched from afar as the woman's anxiety gradually turned into despair.

He often stared at his hands, always feeling that they were covered in blood, as if he had killed the little boy with six fingers with his own hands.

Because in his heart, he and Zhiluo are one, and if she kills someone, it is equivalent to him killing someone.

At this moment, standing at the woman's door, he could clearly hear the woman's suppressed crying inside, and her husband's helpless and sad words:

"Stop crying. Crying like this all the time is not a solution. You're pregnant. If you keep crying like this day and night, I'm afraid you'll disturb the fetus. Sigh..."

No matter how her husband tried to persuade her, the woman could not stop crying.

Luo Dongdong stood outside the door listening, feeling guilty and ached.

Suddenly, he heard the husband's scream, followed by the woman's painful groan.

The husband exclaimed, "Is she about to give birth? Hold on! I'll go get help!"

Then there was the sound of tables and chairs being overturned. Luo Dongdong remembered that the woman's husband had a broken leg and could not get out of bed. He probably had to crawl.

Thinking of this, Luo Dongdong immediately shouted inside, "I'll go call someone!" Then he quickly ran to the clinic to find a doctor, and went to a distant alley to find a midwife.

He ran out of breath and didn't dare to stop for a moment.

Watching the doctors and midwives coming in and out, busy at work, Luo Dongdong stood at the door, swallowing his saliva nervously and pacing back and forth.

He hoped to hear the loud cry of a baby being born, which would probably wash away some of his sins, letting God know that he was not a murderer and forgive him for covering up Zhiluo's evil.

He waited and waited, but what he finally heard was the heart-wrenching cry of the woman's husband, which resounded through the night sky, like a dagger piercing Luo Dongdong's heart.

He was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the doctor's hand as he walked out the door.

"Doctor, shouldn't the mother and child be safe? Why are they crying?"

The doctor shook his head helplessly, wiped the blood from his hands, and sighed:

"What parent wouldn't be anxious if their child was lost? She cried day and night, disturbing the fetus and causing a difficult labor, so... Alas..."

The doctor couldn't bear to say the words "one corpse, two lives" out loud. Thinking that Luo Dongdong was a relative of this family, he patted Luo Dongdong's shoulder comfortingly and said:

"My condolences."

Luo Dongdong retreated in disbelief, fell hard and got up again.

In the dim light of the room, he could clearly see that his hands were covered in blood.
