Song Shixin walked downstairs quickly. This was a great opportunity and she was afraid of missing it.
The dark red hem of her skirt blended into the night, and the people immersed in singing and dancing did not notice her departure.
layer.
The lights were still on even though no one was there.
Song Shixin hurried to the garbage recycling center according to the route she remembered. She just hoped that the woman was still alive.
Just like in the afternoon, the door here was not locked, perhaps because they thought it was impossible for anyone to come to such a dirty and messy place, especially those "distinguished" guests.
Song Shixin opened the door quietly. The stench inside was even stronger. The garbage produced after lunch filled up several trash cans, but the big red trash can still had its lid closed.
When he really saw the trash can again, Song Shixin was a little afraid to open it.
Pursing her lips, she grasped the handle on the trash can lid with a slightly stiff movement, and then slowly lifted the lid...
"Huh!" Just as she lifted it up a little, revealing a gap, she met a pair of eyes that were turned up excessively.
The pupils were almost completely invisible, and the whites of the eyes were covered with terrifying red bloodshot.
"Richard?!" Song Shixin screamed, and quickly knocked over the entire trash can with force, then dragged the man out.
Only after Richard had completely left the trash can did Song Shixin see his condition clearly. His feet were tied together and behind his back along with his hands, and the rope used to tie his hands and feet was still around his neck.
The whole person looks like he has been made into a children's toy called a rocking horse.
Song Shixin hurriedly helped him untie the rope, and he was finally able to breathe smoothly. Richard didn't care about the dirt, and collapsed to the ground, coughing and retching violently, and it took a long time before he started to gasp.
Song Shixin helped him calm down, and then helped him up: "What happened? Why are you..."
Before he could finish his words, Richard made a gesture of silence and pointed above his head.
"Are you going back to your room?" Song Shixin asked uncertainly.
Richard shook his head and pointed at her.
"You mean marrying my room?"
This time, the other party nodded.
Seeing how weak he looked, Song Shixin finally nodded and helped him back to his room.
"Drink some water." She poured him half a glass of water, but Richard just held it in his hand without drinking or saying a word.
Song Shi thought that he probably needed some time to recover.
After a while, Richard finally moved. He touched his neck, where the marks of strangulation were particularly obvious, and he could still feel the pain when he touched it.
"I was attacked from behind," Richard said. His voice was dry and hoarse, like an old harmonica with disjointed tones. "On the deck, I was observing the front..."
Song Shixin patted his shoulder and asked, "When you were locked up, was there nothing inside?"
Richard looked at her in confusion: "Of course."
Song Shixin bit the soft flesh on the inside of her mouth. Where did that woman go? This time, she didn't ask the question in her heart because she suddenly thought of a question.
On the deck where Richard was the only one there, was there really someone who could approach and attack Richard silently from behind?
If there was any doubt in her mind, she would not completely trust Richard at the moment.
"Did you see anything on the deck? Are we approaching the Serpent Strait?" Song Shixin no longer mentioned Richard's injury.
"It's too dark, I can't see anything." Richard shook his head, then squinted his eyes tiredly, "I need to rest."
"?" Song Shixin glanced at him, with obvious doubt in his eyes.
Richard said, "I can't go back to my room. Maybe someone is targeting me because of what happened tonight. You know, I do some gem business and make a little money. If they knew I was still alive..."
It means he's staying here.
Song Shixin nodded helplessly. If she kicked him out directly, she was worried that it would arouse his suspicion. "Then you rest here tonight. I'll go with Yingying."
"Then..." Richard hesitated as if he wanted to say something else. Song Shixin understood and promised him: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened tonight."
There was nothing important in her luggage, so Song Shixin didn't take anything with her.
Gently closing the door, Song Shixin returned to the first floor with a heavy heart.
The hustle and bustle upstairs was not over yet. She opened every trash can but could not find the person she was looking for.
For a moment, she felt like she was filled with anger. She gritted her teeth and decided to pull the lever.
"Boom--" accompanied by a loud noise, the big steel door slowly rose up. Song Shixin's chin rose higher and higher with the door, and then he heard a "plop" sound!
She opened her eyes wide, and what fell in front of her was a human figure, but it was too dark outside and she could not see the figure clearly.
There was no fence outside the steel gate. She leaned against the wall and looked carefully, but there was nothing left on the black sea.
Song Shi thought, if that was a normal person, he would at least struggle, and then he would definitely be able to see the other person.
But now, there was nothing on the sea, proving that the figure had almost no ability to move... like the woman with broken hands and feet.
A chill made her shiver violently, and she covered her mouth and retched continuously. The desire to get off the boat was stronger than ever before.
Just as she was thinking about what to do next, deafening screams soon came from outside, both from men and women.
