Chapter 23: Fantasy Scripture (IV) Zhang Xiaodeng's Dreamland. ...
When Zhang Deng saw the news that the girl was missing that day, he realized that something was wrong. It was most likely that Wei Yuanye had done it behind his back, but he didn't say anything. This was something that Zhang Deng hated about himself. He judged that he was actually a hypocritical person and had no firm sense of morality at all. When people around him were suspected of doing something excessive, his first thought was to cover up and pretend not to know.
Zhang Deng had never had the opportunity to thoroughly understand himself before, and he never thought that he was such a person.
The girl looked at him, the gloom in her eyes made people feel very scared, and Zhang Deng saw some madness in it.
He saw the girl sitting opposite him, and she didn't know how long she had been looking at him. She had a lady's pocket knife in her hand, and when she fiddled with it, there was an obvious threat in her expression.
Zhang Deng's mouth was frozen and a little unresponsive. He opened it but found that he couldn't speak fluently.
The girl's hat had two fur balls on each side, which moved slightly in the wind. Zhang Deng looked at the two fur balls and suddenly became distracted, which was inappropriate for the occasion.
How could this happen? Zhang Deng wondered, why did Wei Yuanye leave without completely solving the problem?
Just get it back for him and clean up the mess before leaving.
When he thought about this, he felt that it was not very reasonable. Maybe Wei Yuanye had already entered the next world to carry out his mission.
He should be very busy, and his work is really like that of a hero. After he leaves, he will probably leave this world behind immediately. After all, the heroic male protagonists in novels have many fans behind them.
Zhang Deng began to feel weightless again. He always felt that none of this seemed real, and he had a mentality of "How could this happen?" about the direction of many things.
The girl asked, "Where's your dog?"
"I'll be there in a moment." Zhang Deng said slowly, his mouth still not working very well.
"Don't give me that," the girl sneered, "He's been gone for a long time."
Zhang Deng actually guessed that this girl might have followed him again, but this time he really didn't find any clues.
The girl asked, "Without the dog, who will save you?"
"...Police?" Zhang Deng said.
The girl looked at him as if he were a fool.
Anyway, as long as Zhang Deng can hold on until tomorrow, if he doesn't go to work, people from his unit will always contact him. As long as he is still not found within the time limit that everyone tolerates, someone will call the police.
Zhang Deng sighed in his heart: "People still have to go to work."
I just wonder if Xiao Mi would be scared if no one is with her tonight.
Zhang Deng still wanted to fight for himself. He said, "You are still young. Why would you do such a thing?"
The girl yelled, "Why didn't you say a word when that mad dog tied me up?!"
Zhang Deng: “…”
Zhang Deng was speechless.
He wanted to say that he actually didn't know what Wei Yuanye had done, but looking at the girl's anger, she must have done something bad, so there was no need to ask.
Zhang Deng asked, "Are you a fan of He Xiaoqiu?"
"You are not allowed to say his name!"
"Don't call him that, you filthy mouth," the girl said, waving the knife at him, "if you say one more bad word about him, I'll kill you."
Zhang Deng said, "Okay, I won't talk about him. Then you can tell me about your story."
He felt that the girl didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill him, and even seemed to want to say something to him.
"Have you liked him for a long time?" Zhang Deng took the initiative to ask a question that fans could not refuse.
No matter what kind of fan, it would be hard to resist the opportunity to recount their fandom, and the girl did, albeit with a lot of hostility. She said, "I've liked him for four years."
She must really like He Xiaoqiu, because Zhang Deng felt that when she mentioned He Xiaoqiu, the expression on her face even had some calm happiness.
Zhang Deng asked, "What do you like about him?"
"Everything is a thousand times better than you," the girl said, her emotions unstable. "You should reveal the truth right now. He Qiu didn't plagiarize you. You're lying. You're jealous because he's better and prettier than you. You staged everything yourself."
Zhang Deng said, "You can send it, but my hands are tied."
The girl said, "Are you trying to lie to me?"
"It really can be posted," Zhang Deng said truthfully, "Compared to your life, posting a message is actually nothing."
Zhang Deng said, "I'm in very poor health. If you leave me here, even if you don't do anything, I'll freeze to death tomorrow morning. Don't do anything stupid, and I won't do anything stupid either. Let's both take a step back, isn't that better?"
The girl looked at him warily and said, "I'll send it, and you tell me the password."
Zhang Deng agreed. The girl had just taken his phone away. When he took it out, she said, "You are really cheap."
Zhang Deng: “…”
Why did she scold him even though she agreed? Zhang Deng felt that she was being unreasonable.
The girl said maliciously, "So you are so worthless and have no dignity at all. I should really record you and let your fans see it."
At this point, Zhang Deng was no longer in a hurry to go home and accompany Xiao Mi. He leaned back and leaned against the pillar. He said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"What would he do if it was He Xiaoqiu?" Zhang Deng knew he shouldn't say that and there was no need to anger her, but he still said it.
The girl said, "He won't compromise."
Zhang Deng: "Then why did he apologize to me?"
"You're talking nonsense," the girl retorted subconsciously, and then angrily said, "That's because you forced me to do it."
Zhang Deng said, "You forced me to do this."
"We're all human. What's there to say about being afraid of death?" Zhang Deng said. "Why be so extreme? He Xiaoqiu's apology doesn't mean he's finished. Why are you so angry just because he apologized to me? Maybe he's already gotten over it."
The girl was a little confused by his logic.
Zhang Deng said, "I understand that you like He Xiaoqiu, but if you think of He Xiaoqiu this way, he'll probably be very sad."
"You don't understand what's going on between us," the girl said. "What gives you the right to say that?!"
Zhang Deng felt that she was actually quite simple, just a bit extreme, so he said, "Why don't you tell me about what happened between you two?"
Zhang Deng had just seen her react strongly to He Xiaoqiu's admission of plagiarism, and presumably she liked He Xiaoqiu's writing style. So, Zhang Deng asked, "What do you like most about his writing?"
"Do you understand?" the girl said sarcastically, "His love poems are the best in the world."
Zhang Deng had a bad feeling.
"This kind of love is like the clear skies, and I'm alone in setting the prairie on fire," the girl said. "He gave this to Liu Yan. Do you think someone who wrote something like this would plagiarize?"
Zhang Deng: “…”
Zhang Deng said, "I don't think so."
"Apologize to him," the girl said. "Password!"
Zhang Deng: "Can you point your phone at my face and scan it? It's been so long since I entered my password that I can't quite remember it."
Seeing that his limbs were frozen stiff, the girl didn't feel any vigilance and raised her phone. Unexpectedly, Zhang Deng suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed her wrist with his cold hand, and snatched the knife from her hand with his other hand, threw it to the ground, and kicked it aside. Zhang Deng grabbed her hand and said, "Don't struggle!"
The girl was still beating Zhang Deng. Although Zhang Deng was a boy, he was probably not as heavy as the girl, and his hands and feet were really frozen. He couldn't control his strength, and the two of them started wrestling on the ground. When Zhang Deng was struggling to break free from the rope just now, it was purely because the girl misjudged the thickness of Zhang Deng's wrist and loosened the rope. He broke free with brute force. At this time, the skin on Zhang Deng's hands was burning with pain. Not only that, his whole body was in pain and he felt like he was dying.
The girl kicked him hard in the ribs. Zhang Deng felt as if he couldn't breathe. He grabbed the girl's upper body tightly to prevent her from moving. He said, "I don't want to hurt you."
Zhang Deng felt exhausted.
"I really don't want to hurt you," Zhang Deng whispered in her ear, "Relax, please, relax."
Zhang Deng said, "I won't call the police, I won't hit you, I won't post your behavior online, and I won't tell He Xiaoqiu. Don't be afraid."
"We are not enemies," Zhang Deng said, "I am also He Xiaoqiu's friend. We can be friends."
Zhang Deng seemed to be hypnotizing him by the ear, repeating mechanically. He could feel the girl's muscles slowly losing strength, and Zhang Deng was almost exhausted. Just when he felt victory was in sight, he heard a shout: "Zhang Deng!"
Liu Yan came with a large group of footsteps and came with great momentum. Zhang Deng felt the girl's body tense up immediately, and then she pressed him to the ground with the force of a Jedi counterattack, reached the knife, and pressed it against Zhang Deng's neck.
Zhang Deng looked at Liu Yan in despair, feeling that he was indeed unlucky.
Liu Yan said: "Let him go!"
The girl gripped the knife fiercely, and soon a thin blood mark was left on Zhang Deng's neck.
Liu Yan immediately took a step back and said, "Don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive."
Zhang Deng thought: "She wasn't impulsive in the first place."
Alas, perhaps this was his fate. He didn't want to struggle anymore. If he died, he would die. He said to Liu Yan, "Don't forget I have a kitten at home."
He has already made arrangements for his funeral.
Anyway, no matter what happens, as long as I meet Liu Yan and He Xiaoqiu, I will be in trouble.
Xiao Mi, I've tried my best—Zhang Deng thought. Having said that, Liu Yan probably wouldn't forget to find someone to adopt Xiao Mi. He Xiaoqiu also liked animals, so if he left her to raise her, he'd be fine. As for Xiao Ai, there was no way around it. If he told Liu Yan to find a home for the cactus, wouldn't that make him seem mentally unstable?
Zhang Deng's mind was distracted. He let the girl hold him and walked to the window sill. The howling north wind blew even stronger, and Zhang Deng's curly hair was blown into his eyes.
The girl said: "Liu Yan, who are you worthy of?"
"You scumbag," the girl said, "You've let He Xiaoqiu down, and you've let Zhang Deng down."
Zhang Deng even felt a little touched that he still remembered him at this time.
He was about to say something when he heard the girl say, "I don't want to live anymore anyway, so don't even think about having an easy life!"
Zhang Deng thought, "Well, since I don't really want to live anyway, dying is fine. I just don't know what happens after death. Will I ever run into Wei Yuanye again?"
At this time, he was still thinking about Wei Yuanye, and he seemed to have really seen Wei Yuanye.
Huh? Is this an illusion?
He saw Wei Yuanye walk out from behind Liu Yan, then rush over in a few steps, so fast that it was impossible to react. Before Zhang Deng could even prepare himself, he felt his body being dragged away. Then he saw Wei Yuanye holding him with one hand and the girl's collar with the other, pushing her down on the windowsill, her head tilted up in the air, and saying, "You don't remember, do you?"
The girl was obviously confused as well. She had obviously suffered a lot at the hands of Wei Yuanye, and she immediately started screaming.
Zhang Deng also let out an "ah".
He was shocked.
"Wei Yuanye?" Zhang Deng murmured. He felt as if he had fallen into a crack in time and space again, so he reached out and slapped himself. "Is it really you?"
Wei Yuanye ignored the knife waving in the girl's hand. He put down the lantern and grabbed her wrist with one hand. After pinching her wrist so hard that it hurt, the knife slipped out of his hand. The girl collapsed and screamed, "Let me go! Let me go! Help!"
Wei Yuanye: "Didn't you say you didn't want to live anymore?"
The girl burst into tears and said, "Please let me go. I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
Zhang Deng simply couldn't imagine what this girl had experienced at Wei Yuanye's hands.
Liu Yan was also very surprised by Wei Yuanye's appearance. He looked at Zhang Deng, but found that Zhang Deng didn't seem to expect Wei Yuanye's arrival either.
It turns out that everyone here knew in their hearts that Wei Yuanye disappeared some time ago.
Liu Yan stepped forward and said, "Call the police."
"Wait," Zhang Deng said, "I don't need that."
Liu Yan looked disapproving, and Zhang Deng even thought that he might be thinking that he was being too kind, but Zhang Deng just felt that there should be a better solution.
"It's too cold," Zhang Deng said, feeling like he was about to die. "Let's find someplace else to discuss it."
Wei Yuanye said nothing, as if there was no sense of ceremony in the reunion after a long separation. He held the girl in his hand, as if he was letting them do whatever they wanted. Zhang Deng said, "Oh, by the way, how did I get here?"
He still felt a dull pain in the back of his head, and Zhang Deng wasn't sure whether he was unconscious or had lost his memory.
The girl said, "I drove here."
"Whose car is it? Mine?"
The girl nodded, and Zhang Deng took the construction elevator downstairs with them. He was extremely impressed by the girl's physical strength. He said, "How did you get me here by yourself? Carrying me on your back?"
The girl nodded again. Perhaps because Wei Yuanye was by her side, Zhang Deng felt that she was a little afraid to face this matter.
Zhang Deng admired it and said, "That's really cool."
Liu Yan dismissed his men and got on the elevator himself. He then said, "You're too thin."
The girl was about 1.7 meters tall and weighed about 130 kilograms. She looked really strong. Although Zhang Deng was about the same height as him, he was so thin that he was just a bag of bones. After Wei Yuanye left, he lost a lot more weight and lost all the weight he had gained.
Zhang Deng really felt ashamed of himself. His extremely low weight often made him suffer from hypoglycemia, making it difficult for him to do heavy physical labor. During the struggle just now, he had to use all his strength to hold the girl down, as it was really a matter of life and death at that time.
Zhang Dengcai felt a little ashamed of himself.
The four of them were relatively quiet along the way, with only Zhang Deng occasionally speaking and communicating with the girl. Most of the time, no one spoke. It was only when they got to the car that everyone suddenly realized something -
Liu Yan wanted to get in the car with them, but no matter how they allocated the cars, it seemed there was no solution as to who would drive, who would sit on the passenger seat, and who would sit with the girl.
Zhang Deng is in no condition to drive, and he can't let the crazy woman drive, so only Wei Yuanye and Liu Yan can do it. Zhang Deng's mind is racing. If Wei Yuanye drives, then who will sit in the passenger seat?
Zhang Deng pointed at Wei Yuanye and said, "You drive, I'll sit in the front."
Liu Yan asked, "I'm with this woman?"
"Ah," Zhang Deng said, "Then you'll sit in the passenger seat?"
Liu Yan was silent.
Wei Yuanye also fell silent.
Inside the car.
Liu Yan was driving, and the rich second generation seemed a little dissatisfied with the job of being a driver——
Wei Yuanye sat in the passenger seat. With two strong adult men, even the SUV seemed a bit crowded.
Of course, it may also be because their male hormone secretion is too strong.
Zhang Deng and the girl sat in the back row, looking much calmer. Zhang Deng asked, "What's your name? I only know you're from Bin University."
"Hu Ningning." said the girl.
Zhang Deng said, "Oh."
"How did you find this place?" Zhang Deng asked.
Hu Ningning: “…”
Wei Yuanye glanced at her in the rearview mirror, and Hu Ningning shut up.
Zhang Deng was so perceptive, he said, "Could it be..."
Wei Yuanye saw that he had guessed it, so he ignored it and asked, "Did he tie you up here?"
Hu Ningning said: "No."
Zhang Deng relaxed slightly, and Hu Ningning said, "He threw me off the building."
Zhang Deng: “!!!”
Wei Yuanye then explained himself: "There's an air cushion underneath."
"I didn't know!" Hu Ningning said, "I thought I was going to die!"
Only then did Zhang Deng know why Hu Ningning disappeared. Wei Yuanye threw her down from the building. The first time, Hu Ningning thought she was going to die, but was caught by an air cushion. The second time, Wei Yuanye said that the air cushion had been removed. She thought he was trying to scare her, but when she looked downstairs, she saw that it had really been removed!
Hu Ningning was so scared that she was scared to death. Wei Yuanye almost threw her down. It was only after Hu Ningning begged him that she would never follow Zhang Deng again and would leave the city immediately that Wei Yuanye let him go.
Hu Ningning had no doubt about the extent of Wei Yuanye's madness. If she had had a little bit of backbone at that time, she would really have died.
Zhang Deng said, "Oh, so you didn't disappear, you just went somewhere else?"
Hu Ningning nodded.
Zhang Deng also felt that Wei Yuanye would not commit kidnapping. It seemed that Wei Yuanye was not really crazy. He slowly let go of his worry. Although he had intended to protect Wei Yuanye before, he was indeed afraid that he would do something out of line.
But he didn't realize at all that Wei Yuanye, who was not extraordinary in his heart, was already very abnormal.
