"I want to die!!" the woman suddenly sat up and said sharply.
"If you're really a good person, kill me! I'll be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Mi threw the gun at her without hesitation.
"Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing." She said lightly.
The woman immediately took the gun in her hand, pointed it at her temple, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and pressed the trigger hard.
Click, nothing happens.
Jiang Mi said calmly, "The safety bolt is not on. I will teach you. Do you see the small button behind the barrel? Just press it. When you pull the trigger, the bullet will instantly shoot out of the barrel and penetrate your temple, but you will not die immediately. You will have a short period of time to experience this world and experience your life again in your memory. No matter whether it is the happiness in the past or the humiliation not long ago, you will experience it completely, and finally die with endless hatred and unwillingness."
The woman just pressed the safety and pointed the gun at her head, but with Jiang Mi's extremely calm and emotionless words, the finger on the trigger couldn't be pressed down.
Her whole body was shaking violently, as if she was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Jiang Mi didn't say anything else. He took a sip of hot tea from the thermos cup. The fragrance of jasmine filled the whole room.
After an unknown amount of time, the gun slipped from the woman's hand and she sat stiffly on the bed, crying silently.
Jiang Mi watched quietly without saying anything. There were no bullets in the gun. She had already unloaded it when she gave it to her. Even if she still chose to shoot in the end, she would not get hurt.
But obviously, she has lost the courage to commit suicide now.
"Not dying anymore? If you're not dying, then eat something and we'll talk after that." Jiang Mi handed her a Cantonese-style roast pork rice and a cup of hot water.
Steaming rice and water were placed in front of the woman. She was silent for a long time, and finally picked up the chopsticks with trembling hands and started eating silently.
At first he just ate two mouthfuls mechanically, but then he started to wolf it down, burying his whole head in the food, eating in big mouthfuls and crying silently as he ate.
After dinner, the woman returned to her silence.
"How does it feel to eat the food from your hometown?" Jiang Mi chuckled. This woman's accent was quite easy to recognize. Even though her voice was hoarse, it was still soft and sticky.
The woman wiped her tears and uttered two words with difficulty, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Jiang Mi waved her hand, but then she heard the woman's hoarse voice ask, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
Jiang Mi was a little surprised, but immediately a pack of ladies' cigarettes appeared in her hand and she handed it to her along with a lighter.
The woman curled up on the bed, took a cigarette from the box and lit it. A puff of smoke came out of her mouth, and she choked and coughed repeatedly, and her pale face became a lot redder.
"Don't you want to chat?" She took another puff of her cigarette expressionlessly.
Jiang Mi found it interesting, thought for a moment and asked, "What's your name? How did you end up in this situation?"
"Li Wenxi." The woman hugged her knees with one hand, took two puffs of her cigarette and didn't move. She looked at the rising smoke with a vague look in her eyes as if she was lost in memories. "Isn't it normal to fall into this situation?"
She seemed to be answering Jiang Mi's words, but also seemed to be convincing herself.
"I'm from City G. My fiancé and I went to college here. We met in college and started dating in our freshman year and have been together until our graduation internship. He loves me very much and I love him too." The woman murmured.
"We plan to get married this year."
"He was beaten to death in order to protect me..."
"I didn't escape..."
"I miss him so much."
She blurted out a sentence every now and then, and after she finished the last sentence, the cigarette in her hand had burned out, and the scarlet cigarette butt fell out of the filter and onto the bed. Jiang Mi calmly used his supernatural powers to sweep the cigarette butt off the bed.
Li Wenxi was already in tears, "I want to go see him."
"He must be in a lot of pain. He was very scared before. When I bit him, he cried out in pain without even using much strength. When he was sick, his face turned pale after getting an injection." She laughed.
"But in order to let me escape, he dragged those beasts with him. I saw him being hit on the head with a stick, and his blood...his blood was flowing everywhere..."
"I failed him, I didn't run away, I was ruined, I'm not clean... I don't deserve him..."
Jiang Mi took a deep breath and felt his breathing was a little heavy.
She couldn't utter any words of comfort.
"Then do you want his death to be in vain? He sacrificed his life in exchange for your survival, do you want his death to be worthless? He was thinking about you living well until his death." Jiang Mi asked softly, without forcing the question or speaking harshly, just asking casually.
"If you survive, you will have the opportunity to avenge him and make those who hurt him pay with blood."
Li Wenxi smiled bitterly, "Revenge? With what? With my rotten body? I'm not a superpower. I can't even protect myself. How can I take revenge?"
As she spoke, she lit another cigarette, took a puff and then put it aside without touching it.
"Want revenge? I'll help you." Jiang Mi looked at her quietly.
Li Wenxi's dry eyes rolled and he looked at her for the first time. His eyes glowed with a little light and he clenched his hands on his knees. "Are you telling the truth?"
Jiang Mi reached out her hand, "As a woman, I shouldn't do anything to you."
"But the premise is that I will only help you gain the ability to take revenge, not help you take revenge." Jiang Mi said calmly.
"Okay, I believe you. I'm dead anyway, so even if you lie to me, I'll accept it." Li Wenxi took a deep breath of the cigarette in her hand, and then she choked and coughed non-stop. She threw away the cigarette in her hand and wiped the tears from her face. "What should I do?"
Jiang Mi didn't give her the awakening potion immediately, "Follow me first, I have some things to deal with. You will succeed before leaving this city."
"As for now, get some good sleep."
Li Wenxi was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "Okay."
After saying that, he really lay down without asking any more questions or saying anything more.
Jiang Mi turned off the lights in the room, placed a camp bed in the empty space next to the bed and lay down on it.
It was unsafe at night, and she was really afraid that she would leave the house and see Li Wenxi's body the next day.
Jiang Mi woke up early the next morning, but she didn't expect Li Wenxi to wake up earlier than her. He sat up from the bed after seeing that she woke up. After a night, her mood was much more stable, but her eyes were still dead.
"Rinse your mouth and wash your face to wake up. We'll set off after breakfast." Jiang Mi handed her a glass of water and wet wipes.
After washing up, I put out two trays of buns and a cup of warm soy milk.
Li Wenxi thanked him and ate breakfast quietly.
After finishing the meal and leaving the building, Jiang Mi turned to look at her, "Can you ride a bicycle?"
She nodded, and Jiang Mi immediately took out another bicycle for her, "Follow me."
She didn't put her bicycle into the space when she went upstairs yesterday, so she just rode away.
With the bicycle, the speed of travel was greatly increased. Just after noon, Jiang Mi had arrived downstairs of the residential area where Jin Lei and his friends were originally located. (End of this chapter)
