Chapter 58 Wait Until I Catch You "I have met you a few times." Lin Xicai said...
"Yes, we've met a few times," Lin Xicai said. "I've offended you."
Li Ci shook his head, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
"I lost my memory and just happened to forget you. Why are you always so special?" Li Ci seemed to be asking her, but also seemed to be asking himself, "Is my disappearance and my memory loss related to you?"
"So," Lin Xicai seemed to sigh, "you also think that I hid you, right?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but now I'm not sure." He bravely reached out and tentatively touched her eyes. "Do you know why? Because you're not afraid of me. Of all the people, you're the only one who's truly not afraid of me at all."
Lin Xicai was stunned.
Li Ci seemed to smile, then reached out and held her chin playfully. "What are you thinking about? Speak."
Those beautiful and harmless eyes suddenly turned red and wet.
A drop of water slid down from the corner of her eye, ran down her cheek, and landed on the hand that was pinching her chin.
Li Ci's hand was burned and trembled, then he retreated reflexively.
As if hypnotized and bewitched, a strange feeling of guilt and fear once again enveloped him.
The man blinked, as if trying to hold back tears, but his eyes only grew redder. "If you suspected me, you could have handed me over to the police for investigation instead of arresting me here and lynching me with nothing but a ridiculous look."
Li Ci looked at her red eyes that were filled with tears, and his chest felt like it was hit by a heavy object, and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
That's not the case.
He didn't think about it.
He made her cry, and he made her angry...
“Again”? Why again?
His head started to hurt again, and so did his heart.
Something was running rampant deep in his soul, almost suffocating him and rotting him, desperately needing a way out. He frantically tried to pull that thing out to see what it was, but it was stuck there, making him feel worse than death.
He wanted to remember, desperately wanted to remember, but his brain was like a rusty machine, its gears stuck and refusing to move forward.
It's so sad, he really is so sad...
Lin Xicai held Xiang Ling on her shoulders and helped her walk out. Li Ci reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes, like an order, like a plea, "Don't go, don't go!"
Lin Xicai didn't stop, and the corner of her clothes slipped from his hands.
Li Ci stared at her, his face pale, "Stop her for me!"
He had already driven away the other people in the box. Since there was no one else there, naturally no one had time to become his accomplice. Lin Xicai walked to the door, turned around and glanced at him indifferently.
"You are really sick," she said.
Li Ci knelt on one knee on the carpet, leaning his elbow on the sofa. He looked at her back and began to see phantoms in front of his eyes. The scenes in the nightmare kept playing. In addition to the snakes, cliffs, and the darkness that almost swallowed him, he could also vaguely see a figure.
He couldn't see anything clearly, he couldn't even tell whether the figure was a man or a woman, but there was definitely someone there.
Who is that person? Who is that person?
Who on earth is torturing him so relentlessly!
Li Ci's heart was beating too fast, seemingly beyond his endurance limit. At a certain moment, his heart seemed to stop, and Li Ci fainted.
People outside came in one after another. Seeing that something was wrong, they immediately became confused and called the emergency number.
He had come back from the brink of death and lay dying on the hospital bed. The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was: "I want to remember."
He couldn't stand it anymore. If he continued like this, he would really die.
He had to see that person, he had to know who was the one who made him disappear, he had to remember.
He used to live such a carefree life, but that person prevented him from going back to his previous life, turned him into a half-human, half-ghost and then threw him away, not even wanting to leave him any memory, leaving him in the dark like a fool. Maybe he is hiding somewhere and laughing at him right now.
Damn it! He would definitely capture that person, hold him in his palm, and crush him to pieces!
After Li Ci Neng got out of bed, he went to the psychologist with a pale face like a devil, and used threats and inducements to force the doctor to help him remember, saying that he would try anything at any cost. The doctor refused, saying that forced stimulation was very risky and would cause irreversible brain damage and even be life-threatening.
Li Ci then directly took out the scalpel he had prepared in advance from his pocket and cut the artery on his wrist in front of the psychiatrist. Blood gushed out. He smiled like a devilish madman who was forced into a desperate situation, "If you help me, I won't necessarily die. If you don't help me, I will die now. Brain damage? Hahahaha"
He suddenly laughed heartily. "What's the difference between my current condition and brain damage? Would I be afraid if the damage got a little worse? What else do I have to be afraid of?"
He suddenly became angry. "Aren't you a doctor? Can't you see that I'm dying? Can't you see how hard it is for me to pretend to be normal during the day? I'm dying, can't you see?"
Whether he lived or died was one thing, but the middle-aged doctor beside him, who looked kind, was almost scared to death. His face was completely pale. “Don’t be impulsive. I’ll help you. I’ve always been helping you…”
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me the plan!" The blood on Li Ci's wrist had soaked half his arm. He raised his bloody arm and pointed it at him. "If you can't come up with a plan, die here with me."
"Electric... electroshock therapy may help you recover your memory, but the process will be extremely painful, not something most people can endure, and..."
"Okay, thank you, doctor." Li Ci threw the scalpel aside and smiled politely, "Is it not scary?"
“No, no.”
Li Ci smiled again, his expression gentle, "Actually, I'm in pretty good shape, not as bad as you think."
"Oh, yes, it's good."
......
Li Ci never went to school again after that day.
At the same time, doctors were coming in and out of the sanatorium in the Li family villa in the suburbs. For many days in a row, there were intermittent waves of horrible screams coming from inside. The sound was heartbreaking, like someone being skinned and having his tendons pulled out, extremely shrill.
Li Ci was lying on the bed. His originally thin and pale face was now hard to tell whether he was a human or a ghost. He collapsed on the bed like a puddle of mud that could never stand up again.
This kind of self-destructive self-torture day after day almost took his life. The doctor asked him to stop several times, but he cursed at him.
He must remember it, even if he dies, he must remember it, even if he dies!
Those once gentle and beautiful eyes have lost their luster, become dull and turbid, like a terminally ill old man who is about to die.
This body has been torn to pieces by him, and his soul has been tortured to death by himself.
But he was smiling.
In a trance, there was a person flashing before his eyes and in his dreams.
Her outline finally seemed to be coming into focus.
As the current flowed through his soul, Li Ci looked vaguely towards a certain place in the extreme pain.
"Be good, wait until I catch you."
…
After returning from KTV, Lin Xicai was still a little nervous, always feeling that the man would come looking for her again.
But somewhat surprisingly, after that day, that person seemed to disappear, and her life suddenly became peaceful.
After the final exams, it was winter vacation. Since no one came to cause trouble, Lin Xicai was able to devote herself to preparing for the final exams. She ranked 403 last time, and this time she hoped to improve by another 100 places.
This is extremely difficult, as if we have reached a bottleneck, and the resistance to progress becomes greater the further we move forward.
It was natural for Lin Xicai to pay attention to her grades, but she found that her deskmate had started to care about her grades very much since she didn't know when, and had an incredible attention and obsession with her grades.
Every time her homework or test papers were handed out, he was the first one to review them from beginning to end. When he saw the wrong questions, his expression was even uglier than hers.
Lin Xicai watched him looking at his test paper every day with a look of deep resentment and confusion on his face.
?
I did well in the exam, do you think it’s a performance achievement?
Why do you care so much about my grades?
Lin Xicai rolled her eyes in her heart, took the test paper from his hand, and began to sort out the wrong questions.
When encountering really difficult questions, Lin Xicai would bite the tip of his pen and rack his brains, while Xie Shi would stare at them intently, and sometimes he would even look eager to try, not knowing his own limitations.
Of course, Lin Xicai wouldn't be so low in emotional intelligence as to laugh out loud. She would just look at him meaningfully, and then say in her heart, "Continue playing your game."
Lin Xicai and Xie Shi were in the front, one correcting a wrong question while the other held his chin and watched someone else correcting the wrong question. At the back, Zhu Hongfei and Lu Zixin suddenly complained:
"What kind of black box operation is this? Brother Xie isn't even number one."
"I also think this list is outrageous."
Lin Xicai finished a question and stretched. Upon hearing this, she joined in the fun. "What is that?"
Zhu Hongfei laughed foolishly, showing his phone to Lin Xicai, "I don't know if there was a school idol selection on the forum, and Brother Xie ranked third."
Lin Xicai glanced at it casually and said "oh", not looking very interested.
Zhu Hongfei glanced at her, seeming a little unhappy with her reaction. "So, do you also think this list was made with your eyes closed?"
Lin Xicai looked back at him and smiled slightly: "If you are really free, just take a broom and sweep our area."
Zhu Hongfei was bored and stopped playing with her. He lowered his head and whispered to Lu Zixin.
Lin Xicai was actually gossipy in her heart, but she just didn't want to gossip in front of them. In fact, as soon as she got home that day, she clicked on the voting post for the so-called school idol selection.
Originally, I was just randomly browsing, joining in the fun, and appreciating the handsome faces in it one by one.
When she clicked on it, she found that the style of painting was very different from what she had imagined.
She thought that everyone has their own preferences, so she just looked at the handsome guy happily. But when she clicked on the link, she saw all kinds of people ganging up to criticize him. The one who was criticized the most was her crazy classmate.
"Does the school hunk only look at a face? Character and grades should also be considered."
"Even with such poor grades, you still dare to steal the spot of the school hunk?"
"Poor grades are not just a problem of intelligence, but also of character."
"The thing about Li Ci's disappearance? Wasn't that cleared up already?"
"Even if that didn't happen, how do you explain all the weird things that happened to him before? If I tell anyone about it and let a freak become the hunk of our school, I can't afford to lose face."
"This guy is too evil and too unlucky. It's better to stay away from him. Maybe his mother was killed by him."
......
Lin Xicai looked at the first few with a blank expression, but couldn't help but frowning when she saw the last few.
Two minutes later, a combat microphone with a cartoon avatar and the ID "You will die if you don't take first place" came online.
If you don't take first place, you'll die: [This is just a fun post, right? What are you trying to do by making personal attacks?]
26923323: [Yo yo yo, the monster's little fangirl smelled the scent and came out to protect her master.]
Lin Xicai was so angry at the rude tone through the screen: [Protect your uncle's master! ]
Offline, that's fine, but online, are you being bullied? Lin Xicai immediately switched to combat mode under the offensive post, acting like a female warrior, lashing out at anyone who didn't speak properly.
At the same time, on the other side, Xie Shi, who was also posting, stared at the powerful "If you don't take first place, you will die" and fell into deep thought.
Xie Shi took half a minute to register an account.
Xie Shi leaned on the balcony railing, thought for a moment, and typed a few words.
xslxc replied that if he didn't take first place, he would die: [This Xie Shi is really annoying. ]
In just one second, the phone vibrated.
If you don't take first place, you will die: [Do you understand him? ]
xslxc: [So you don’t find him annoying?]
If I don't take first place, I will die: [Why should I hate him? ]
Xie Shi bit his dry lips.
That means not being annoying.
Even like it a little.
No, it seems to be a little bit.
She likes him very much.
xslxc: [This person is a bit ugly. ]
If you don't take first place, you'll die: [Ugly? It's okay to criticize others, but you're calling him ugly? ]
xslxc: [So you think he’s not ugly? ]
If you don't take first place, you'll die: [I suggest you get a pair of glasses.]
Xie Shi's mouth was numb from being bitten by him.
She doesn't think he is ugly.
I even think he's kind of handsome.
No, it means he is handsome.
She thinks he is handsome.
xslxc: [This person is a bit unlucky. ]
If you don't take first place, you'll die: [Rebound, you're unlucky, people like you who can't even spit out ivory are unlucky.]
Xie Shi, who "couldn't spit out ivory from his mouth", almost bit his lips, feeling very happy.
She doesn't think he is unlucky.
Even venting my anger for him.
She doesn't dislike him at all.
xslxc: [This person.....]
Before Xie Shi could figure out what to criticize next, a stupid account suddenly intervened.
62397293 replied to "If you don't get first place, you'll die": [There's one thing you can't argue with: his grades are terrible. The top student's grades are half as good as his.]
After this reply was sent, the extremely powerful "If you don't take first place, you will die" suddenly fell silent.
After a while, six points were sent to those who had no other options but to take first place or they would die.
If you don’t take first place, you will die: […]
At the same time, xslxc replied to 62397293: [What does this have to do with you? Get lost.]
62397293:?
62397293:? ?
62397293: Are you crazy? Am I not speaking up for you?
Why treat friendly forces like this?
Are you crazy?
…
The next day when Lin Xicai arrived at school, Zhu Hongfei and Lu Zixin were talking about the black post again at the back table.
Zhu Hongfei was filled with righteous indignation: "Those people are crazy! If it weren't for that post, I wouldn't have known that my brother Xie had so many haters."
"I saw it too," Lu Zixin said, "and some of the curses were really nasty."
Lin Xicai sat in her seat, digging something out of her schoolbag. Rarely did she interrupt, cursing under her dark circles, "Don't mention it. I ran into that idiot last night. I almost suspected Xie Shi had dug up his ancestors' graves. I spent the entire night wishing I could blacken him from head to toe. He's like a psychopath."
