Lan Yaowu was furious and raised his hand to slap Lan Shuang. Lan Shuang raised her hand and directly grasped his wrist. Her face was cold and chilling. "You'd better not force me to do it, otherwise it's not certain who will live and die today."
When Lan Yaowu saw her eyes, he felt a dull pain in his body and the memory of being beaten came back to him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait for me, and see how I'll deal with you when I get home!"
Fang Yinan was sitting on the other side, unable to take any action. She could only watch anxiously, "Don't hit him in the face. How will you explain to Liu Min if you break something? He must be so worried. What will he do if he can't see me and asks for the money back?"
Now that there were stairs, Lan Yaowu walked down and said, "Huh."
He snorted coldly and shook his wrist, and Lan Shuang let him go.
She stared at the person driving in front of her, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Or should she just grab the steering wheel and take Fang Yinan and Lan Yaowu with her? She couldn't stand these two scumbags for even a moment.
But that wouldn't count as fulfilling the original owner's wish, and it probably wouldn't eliminate the resentment either. Besides, although the driver wasn't a good person, he hadn't hurt the original owner, so he wouldn't take his life.
She regretfully withdrew her gaze. The driver shrank his neck and felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan sat in their seats holding their breath, glancing at Lan Shuang from time to time, but Lan Shuang ignored them completely.
She stared at her hands and asked 888, "If I force the mission to fail, will there be any punishment?"
888 advised: "Host, don't be impulsive. Let's wait and see. When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out. When you reach the bridge, you will find your way out. We haven't reached the last moment yet. Don't give up easily. Don't forget that there are still people in this world who are looking for you."
Lan Shuang was stunned. It was as if a hole was torn open in her dark and depressed heart, and a ray of light shone in, making her suddenly enlightened.
Yes, Jiang Lusheng is still waiting for her, and she can't give up before they meet.
Love can heal pain. At least at this moment, Lan Shuang felt a brief peace of mind.
She turned her head to look out the window. The van was driving fast in the morning light. Surrounded by mountains, the clouds dispersed, revealing a patch of sky.
They drove onto a bridge and soon arrived at Liu Min's village after crossing it.
However, when the car reached the middle of the bridge, Lan Shuang suddenly saw a person standing on the bridge.
Judging from her figure and hair, she was a girl. For some reason, Lan Shuang felt that she looked familiar. However, before she could take a closer look, the girl suddenly turned her head and looked at her. Her eyes were empty and desperate, but there was also a hint of relief in them.
Lan Shuang's heart trembled violently. The girl had a face exactly like hers.
It was also in this split second that Lan Shuang suddenly realized what was going on and felt that the back figure was familiar, and the clothes she was wearing were exactly the same as hers.
The next moment, the girl turned back, climbed onto the bridge railing and jumped.
"No--"
Lan Shuang was startled, driven by an inexplicable force and impulse in her heart. Without thinking about anything, she opened the car door and jumped out!
"Lan Shuang!"
"Fuck you, are you crazy?!"
Fang Yinan and Lan Yaowu exclaimed in surprise. The driver didn't react at first. It was not until they drove a long way that Lan Yaowu shouted, "Stop! Lan Shuang has jumped out of the car!"
The car braked suddenly. The three people were still in shock and wanted to go back to check, but they couldn't move their legs.
When Lan Shuang jumped out of the car, she was protected by 888 and rolled on the ground without suffering any injuries.
She walked to the guardrail in a daze, looking at the surging river below, and a wave of memories flooded into her mind.
After a long time, she held the railing tightly with both hands, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged.
"So it was me...it turned out that all of this was what I had experienced before, but I had forgotten it."
A hot tear fell from her eye and hit the guardrail, leaving a dark stain.
888 looked at her distressedly, "Host, do you remember everything?"
"Yes." Lan Shuang looked up at the rising red sun, which was shining brightly, and let out a long breath.
"In this world, is it about going back to the past and saving myself? So the resentment value hasn't changed? Because there's no resentment value at all, right?"
888 nodded. "Yes, this is your last mission. The system detected that the resentment in this world is also very deep, so it was assigned to me. However, there is no resentment value in this world. Perhaps they feel that the resentment cannot be eliminated."
"Eliminate? How can it be eliminated?" Lan Shuang pointed at the river in front of them and said, "Back then, my admission letter was torn up, and I was sent to Liu Min's house. I finally found an opportunity to knock Liu Min unconscious, and I escaped. I drove his electric tricycle all the way to town. I was covered in bruises. I went to call the police, thinking I was finally saved, but I didn't expect Fang Yinan and Lan Yaowu to show up again."
The light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight tremor in her voice. "They took me to a corner and beat me to death. They beat me until I dared not run anymore, and then they dragged me into the car."
"When I got to the bridge, I suddenly felt that life was quite meaningless. If I went back, I would never be able to get out of this mountain. I would live my whole life worse than pigs and dogs. Suddenly, I felt a surge of courage. I opened the car door and jumped out. I climbed up the guardrail and jumped out without hesitation. I still remember the feeling of near-death when I fell into the water."
However, she did not die. She was selected by the Space-Time Administration and became a space-time tasker.
Because of her outstanding performance and high degree of task completion, she became a senior tasker. With so much experience, she gradually forgot who she was and what she had experienced.
Now, when she retraces the path she took, she realizes that those memories and feelings were not forgotten, but buried by herself. Those traumas and despair have never disappeared.
It still makes people feel miserable when it is revealed.
"Lan Shuang——"
"Stop her! She can't die!"
Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan rushed over and interrupted Lan Shuang's thoughts.
Lan Shuang touched the inside pocket of her clothes, where her admission letter and her future lay.
"Host, do you still want to die now?" 888 asked hesitantly.
"Death? Why me?" Lan Shuang smiled in relief. "I still have a bright future ahead of me. It shouldn't be ruined by a few scumbags."
Back then, she was too young and too naive. She had not experienced the world, and her horizons and mind were not as broad as they are now. So, she got excited for a moment and got stuck in a dead end. But now, she will no longer choose to escape.
Just when Lan Shuang was about to say something, two dazzling rays of light suddenly shot out from behind, breaking through the hazy morning.
Fang Yinan and Lan Yaowu's steps slowed down for a moment.
Lan Shuang had a premonition and turned around to see an off-road vehicle rushing towards her and stopping just in front of her.
The driver's window rolled down, revealing Jiang Lusheng's young and handsome face in this life. He nodded at Lan Shuang, "Shuangshuang, get in the car. I'll take you away."
