They bound the boy to death on a bed, with a magnetic plate at the front of an electrified device attached to his temples.
The imprisoned boy's eyes immediately flashed with terror and despair. Like a fish on a chopping board, he wanted to struggle violently and writhe, to be thrown off the execution platform. He attacked the doctors with the most insulting words, the reflection of their white coats appearing in his eyes.
"No...no, you can't do this to me!" His handcuffed hands left a bright red mark as he was dragged along. "Help me! Don't stay there, let's run away together!"
The boy turned his head and shouted to the forty or fifty peers sitting in the chairs.
But these people, seemingly oblivious, stared blankly with lifeless eyes. They had no emotions, as if the devil had ripped their souls out, leaving only useless shells.
The doctor took out a thin, long needle and poked it into the boy's eye socket, intending to pierce it into the skull...
A terrified scream suddenly echoed through the courtyard.
This is a mental hospital!
Separated by only a wall, Zhao Xuerou knew why she was in this place.
Early in the morning, she and Liu Mengke were walking along the tree-lined avenue, discussing the story of a very efficacious acacia tree on a rockery in the suburbs of Lanjing City.
On the artificial hill grows a large pine tree, fifty or sixty years old, its branches drooping down to the pavilion in the wild. Standing on the circular wooden bench, you can reach out and touch the pine needles.
A couple was strolling there. They tied a wooden sign to a red ribbon and then tied it to a branch. The sign had their names written on it, symbolizing that they could be together for a long time, longing for each other and accompanying each other.
Subsequently, more and more couples went there to take photos, following the example of those who had done so before.
More and more red ribbons were tied to the branches, hanging down to the brim, making it a spectacular sight from the foot of the hill. This big pine tree became known as the Matchmaker Tree, and it is said that couples on the wooden plaques will have a happy ending.
Zhao Xuerou was still hopeless about Jiang Cheng. She excitedly described her plan, inviting her best friend to go with her. Liu Mengke asked, "Everyone goes in pairs. Do you think it will work if you go alone without Jiang Cheng's permission?"
Zhao Xuerou pouted and said, "Never mind that, let's hang it up first. Besides, Liu Mengke and Liang Gu are dating, so we can also ask for a good meaning."
Liu Mengke agreed to go with her in the afternoon.
Coincidentally, Luo Xiaoli was on the tree-lined avenue, not far away, and she was walking with her classmates when she overheard their conversation.
A fire immediately welled up in her heart. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Xuerou with a dangerous gaze. Her face was expressionless, but she was already planning how to destroy Zhao Xuerou's beautiful wish.
Didn't you want to hang a wooden sign? You hang it first, and I'll immediately take it down and throw it away, then replace it with my own name and Jiang Cheng's name.
Luo Xiaoli snorted coldly in her heart, silently calculating everything.
In the afternoon, Liu Mengke stood up her best friend. She and Liang Gu went to play somewhere else, and she couldn't get through to her by phone. Zhao Xuerou waited for half an hour without seeing anyone, so she called a taxi and went to the outskirts of Lanjing City alone.
Luo Xiaoli followed closely behind, getting into another car and catching up.
Unexpectedly, after the two arrived at the artificial hill, Zhao Xuerou, satisfied with her work, finished making the wooden sign, hung it up, and prepared to return to school...
A pickup truck sped past! Driving deeper into the mountain road from the edge, it nearly hit Zhao Xuerou.
Her heart pounded for a while, and she was about to explode as she stared at the car's rear, but the next second, Zhao Xuerou froze on the spot.
The back of the Toyota pickup truck was covered with a layer of pure black plastic sheeting, and it was unclear what was hidden underneath. As the vehicle traveled along the bumpy mountain road, a pebble caused it to lurch violently, revealing a corner of the black plastic sheeting.
In a sudden glance, Zhao Xuerou clearly saw a person bound and struggling inside...
The man's eyes widened, and the instant the light shone into the back of the car, he stared intently at Zhao Xuerou, his eyes pleading for help.
