Chapter 128 Black Sheep What she wants is never money, but...
After all this torture, the man with dreadlocks no longer had the ability to resist. His left arm was broken, and the shoulder of his right arm was pierced by a steel pipe. His five fingers and palm were covered in blood, and he couldn't move at all. He was like a disabled person.
Seeing this, Cecia looked around and finally stopped her gaze on the short-haired girl.
"Hey, come here."
She was commanding the other person from a superior position.
As an ordinary person, the short-haired girl was already scared out of her wits. Although her legs were weak, she did not dare to disobey.
She stood up tremblingly and staggered to Cecilia's side.
"Aren't you classmates?"
Cecia pushed the dreadlocked man to her and said, "You take care of him and try not to let him die."
Seeing that the other party was in a bad state, Cecia frowned and added: "It's okay if you die. I won't blame you."
"...Sister, don't worry, I don't want to see him die either."
The short-haired girl mustered up her courage and responded softly: "I will take good care of him!"
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Cecilia waved her hand, and seeing the collapsed double bed, she lifted it up with one hand and placed it in front of the short-haired girl.
"This bed is yours, use it as you wish."
After saying that, she turned and left without caring about the other person's situation.
The room originally held nine people, but now one is dead and one is disabled, leaving only seven healthy people.
“Ding-dong-dong!”
The familiar ringtone rang again, and the screen in the center of the room suddenly lit up.
"It's time for the daily divination again! I am your host! Dear human friends, did you act according to the divination yesterday?"
The colorful mushroom man appeared on the screen again, full of energy, jumping around on the screen, forming a sharp contrast with the lifeless humans outside.
"Welcome to this episode of the divination column! Guess who today's special guest is - there is no reward for guessing correctly."
The mushroom man stuck out a bright red tongue, and his skinny limbs were as thin as matchsticks, as if they could be broken with a little force.
“Ding ding ding! Welcome to this episode’s special guest! Former magical girl, Alice!”
As soon as the words fell, before the mushroom man had time to make room, a sweet-looking girl suddenly appeared and took up the entire screen.
"Hello, my fellow human friends! I am Magical Girl Alice!"
She smiled and greeted the screen, looking much more approachable than the swamp witch yesterday.
After saying that, she took a few steps back, revealing her full body.
Her body was completely different from her rosy complexion. Only white bones were left on her body with a fresh head inserted on top, like a big-headed doll, which looked a bit weird.
"I am honored to be invited to the divination column. Let me bring you today's predictions!"
Holding a heart-shaped card in her hand, Alice carefully turned it over with an exaggerated expression on her face.
"Oh my, today's prediction is incredible. This is bound to be news that will shock everyone!"
She leaned closer to the screen mysteriously and whispered, "People who have been to prison will die."
As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell in the room.
Most people had a look of relief on their faces, except for the man with glasses, who looked horrified and looked at the screen in disbelief.
Cecilia took in his reaction and her mind became clearer.
"This time, there shouldn't be anyone who meets the requirements, right?"
While the magical girl was chatting with the mushroom man, the short-haired girl spoke cautiously.
"No."
Everyone in the room shook their heads in unison.
The man with glasses stared at the screen intently, his upper and lower teeth constantly colliding with each other, making a "clack" sound.
"...Time flies! This issue of the fortune-telling column is coming to an end. I will read out the column host's interpretation of today's fortune as usual!"
The mushroom man stood up straight, cleared his throat pretentiously, and took out a small notebook from the red cap.
"Leo should stay away from water today. Pisces has good luck and may have unexpected surprises. Taurus is best not to communicate with others to avoid getting hurt."
After talking about today's fortune, the mushroom man waved at the screen lively.
"This is the end of this episode of the divination column. See you tomorrow at the same time!"
call out.
The TV screen went black and the room was silent again. Cecia looked around, paying special attention to the zodiac signs mentioned and the man with glasses who was in a weird state.
The Leo woman in black, the Pisces woman with short hair, the middle-aged Taurus man... They all have different expressions, and except for the short-haired woman, the other two seem to be skeptical.
"In that case, let me press the button today!"
The short-haired girl stood up again and volunteered.
“No need.”
Cecia rejected her request, "There is plenty of food and water, and there is no need to press the button for the time being."
"The zodiac signs mentioned in the fortune-telling column, remember to be careful. You saw what happened yesterday..."
"You don't really believe this?"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the woman in black.
The other party took off his headphones, stood up, his eyes full of disdain.
"That's all stuff to fool kids. What happened yesterday was just a coincidence. Look at this room. There's not even a bathroom. People have to go to the toilet right there. Where is the water?"
"You don't really think that someone will die just because of a few random words on TV?"
The woman in black spoke with mockery. She raised the corner of her mouth in contempt and turned to walk to the corner.
Bang.
There was the sound of something heavy falling.
The woman in black didn't pay attention and stepped on the mineral water bottle. She slipped and was tripped by the smooth body of the bottle and fell to the ground, falling flat on her face.
"Leo...stay away from the water..."
The short-haired girl murmured something, as if she was thinking about something.
"It's divination! The divination has come true again!"
She was very excited and went forward to help the woman in black up. "Mineral water is also water. This means that the divination content will come true 100%!"
The woman in black who was helped up had a gloomy face. She covered her nose with her hands, and blood was flowing out and dripping onto the floor.
"Are you okay? Do you need my help..."
"Don't touch me!"
The short-haired girl asked with concern, but was waved away by the other party and accidentally pressed the button on the wall.
Bang.
There was a slight sound, and a small box fell from the ceiling, landing right at the feet of the short-haired girl.
"I didn't mean to do that..."
The short-haired girl looked at Cecia in panic, waved her hands and explained, "I didn't mean to touch the button, I pressed it accidentally." "I know, it's not your fault."
Cecia had no intention of scolding the other party. She said calmly: "Since you pressed it, the thing belongs to you."
"Thanks……"
The short-haired girl squatted down and picked up the square box.
"Thrombin? This is a drug that stops bleeding!"
Her eyes lit up, and she looked through the box again and again, "Yes, that's it! This will help stop the bleeding faster, maybe there's still a chance for me to survive..."
The short-haired woman ignored the woman in black and ran to the bed of the man with dreadlocks with the medicine.
Pisces may have an unexpected surprise, and this also came true.
Cecia thought secretly and focused her eyes on the middle-aged man. The other party was silent from beginning to end, and he probably wouldn't take the initiative to talk to others...
Finally, there is the man with glasses. After the fortune-telling column gave the prediction, he has been uneasy. He shrinks himself in a corner, looking around nervously, and no one knows what he is thinking.
"Thank you, sister."
After stopping the bleeding of the dreadlocked man, the short-haired woman ran to Cecia sensibly and bowed, "I will take good care of him. No one will get into trouble today!"
"That may not be the case."
Meeting that pair of innocent eyes, Cecia sneered, then turned and walked to the man with glasses.
"You've been to prison, haven't you?"
She asked bluntly, causing the other person to shudder and shrink back timidly.
“I, I…”
The man with glasses was already in a state of panic, and when Cecia asked him this, he became even more panicked, "I didn't, I didn't! Don't kill me!"
"Who wants to kill you?"
Cecia frowned, grabbed the man's collar and lifted him up, "You've been there before, and no one here cares. I will find a way to keep you alive."
Hearing this, the man with glasses seemed to have grasped the last straw. He rubbed his hands like a fly and begged Cecilia again and again.
"Yes! I've been to prison!"
The man with glasses confessed in a hurry, "But it's not my fault. I didn't mean to do it! I was driving and someone suddenly jumped out. I didn't have time to brake... The other person died despite rescue efforts."
He grabbed Cecia's trouser legs and begged, "I am not guilty of death, I am not guilty of death! Please let me live, I still have a family..."
Even if you get out alive, you won't be able to see your family.
Cecia thought to herself, but remained calm on the surface, and pulled up the man with glasses.
"From now on, you follow me. Wherever I go, you follow me."
She ordered in a cold voice, "I will remove all suspicious sharp objects and not let anything that could kill you get close."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
The man with glasses was so grateful that he wanted to kneel down again. "When I get out of here, I will definitely find a way to repay you! I have opened a company outside, and I will give you dividends every year!"
Looking at his miserable appearance, Cecilia just found it funny.
Human beings always think that money can buy everything and are happy to use it as a promise and reward. Little do they know that what they want is never money, but human beings themselves.
[Ding Dong, today's daylight hours have ended, and now it's time to rest at night. I emphasize again, today's daylight hours...]
The pleasant female voice sounded again, and the lights in the room dimmed.
The man with glasses was nervous and followed Cecilia, pulling at the corner of her clothes.
He maintained this state throughout the whole day. Fortunately, without a bad apple like the man with dreadlocks, everyone else was very well behaved. They were either resting or having fun among the sundries. No one was doing anything dangerous.
Although he was unharmed during the day, the man with glasses still did not dare to relax.
The high school student who was predicted to die yesterday died at night. There is no lighting in the room, and nothing can be seen at night, so it is easy for all kinds of accidents to happen.
"Follow me."
Before the lights went completely dark, Cecilia turned around and gave instructions. The man with the eyes nodded nervously and followed closely behind her.
…
[Ding Dong! The evening rest time is over. Now is a new day. Please move your body freely and keep in good condition...]
The cheerful music sounded, and the sound, as clear as spring water, flowed into people's hearts.
Cecia leaned against the wall for the whole night. Under the strong light, she opened her eyes reluctantly and looked to the side subconsciously.
The man with glasses had a purple face and was cold all over. He was already a corpse.
