Chapter 974 Arrival
The girl couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
There was still wet water on her hair, which slid down her forehead, eyelashes, cheeks, and lips.
She moved slightly, and the drop of water was sucked into the gap between her teeth, with a sweet taste.
At this moment, the nerve endings seemed to suddenly understand what smoking addiction was.
There was still a faint blue light covering my sight, and the whole world became blurred in the blue light.
She saw her dead mother sitting in the morning light playing the piano, and she also saw the young man holding a camera towards her from afar in the steaming heat of Yungang in summer. The blurred face turned into deep blue pupils looking down at her in the next moment, and her shadow was reflected in it, like a deeply engraved statue. After years of erosion, the eyes dimmed and brightened, but her own shadow had not changed at all.
The confused brain is sometimes connected to the extremely dangerous situation in front of it, and sometimes falls into endless past events or illusions.
The girl's dark pupils were visibly confused and scattered. She was clearly looking at what was in front of her eyes, but it seemed as if she was not seeing anything.
Seventeen hours have passed since the kidnapping.
And Miss Shen had been soaked in hallucinogens for more than four hours.

The clock pointed to three in the morning.
Many places on the Never-Sleeping Island are still brightly lit.
Several taxis picked up their passengers and lined up to head towards a residential area.
The driver glanced back and saw that the half of the male passenger's face reflected in the mirror had deep contours, and the lines looked particularly graceful and noble in the dim light. He looked much better than those pretty boys on TV.
Thinking of this, the driver was about to speak, but just as he opened his mouth
, the eyelids that had just been drooping suddenly lifted up silently, meeting his gaze directly.
The driver was stunned for a moment, then he retracted his gaze and closed his mouth like a conditioned reflex, not daring to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
There was no conversation along the way and the atmosphere was cold.
Until the bright lights outside the window gradually turned into a few deserted lights in the residential area, the other male passenger behind me finally spoke. His tone was flat but polite, which matched his expressionless face very well.
"Mr. Driver, why does this apartment look so deserted?"
Someone spoke, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly broke free from the freezing cold. The driver also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew which building the passenger was talking about without even looking at him, and casually said,
"Because it's an unfinished building,"
He tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.
"The project was originally supposed to have several more apartments, but due to funding issues, it was left unfinished. In the end, only this one apartment building was completed, and it was abandoned before the roof was even fully tiled. Many owners demanded compensation and left, so not many people stayed."
The driver's eyes involuntarily followed the conversation to the mirror. The male passenger with the scary look in his eyes seemed to be listening to him, although his face still had no expression.
The car stopped under the apartment building and both passengers got out. Then several people got out of the following taxis.
Then the taxi drove away, and the driver looked out the window before leaving.
The handsome but creepy-looking male passenger was standing downstairs looking up.
After stretching his body and standing up straight, he was very tall. At this moment, he was holding a cigarette that had been lit at some point and looking up, illuminated by the dim street lights. In the eyes of the driver, he looked no different from the most pretentious male protagonists in TV dramas.
Even more than those actors.
The driver subconsciously didn't dare to look at the extra things.
The car quickly drove away with its lights on.
Cheng Zhiyuan retracted his gaze, took the cigarette he hadn't even smoked, and crushed it in his palm.
"Let's go."
