Chapter 157 Scene 22 Like Bugs, Like Air
When He Yuezhe woke up, it was already past six in the morning. Liu Zhaodi and Dai Weiguo had just finished their breakfast and were getting ready to go out.
The things that were placed there early this morning have not been put away yet. They are neatly placed without any signs of having been touched.
"Man, is today the last day here as you said?" asked the black cat.
"Squeak."
The iron gate was opened and then immediately closed.
"Not sure." He Yuezhe replied.
"Unsure? What does that mean?"
"I originally thought that once the first seven days were over, the exploration and intimacy levels would naturally reach a certain level, and the event would automatically begin."
"But now..." He Yuezhe put Dai Weiguo's driver's license back into his room.
But the moment she opened the drawer under the desk, a pile of loan documents and IOUs appeared from nowhere and blocked her view.
"Ding Dong! It's been detected that you have reached the exploration and intimacy level of the Liu Zhaodi and Dai Weiguo families!"
"Event: Unexpected Disaster, Triggered!!!"
"Sudden disaster"? !
"Event: Unexpected Disaster is developing. Please wait for the event to complete!"
The names of Dai Weiguo and Liu Zhaodi were all signed on the list. There were bloody handprints on the names, and next to the handprints was yesterday's date!
No, no, no!!
“How is this possible!?”
How could they possibly borrow so much money at this point in time, and all of it was private loans with such high interest rates? ! !
He Yuezhe looked at them one by one in disbelief, but the flawless handwriting, the correct personal information, and even the list with the smell of incense on the two people reminded her again and again that this was indeed true.
"How could this happen..." He Yuezhe almost tore the paper to pieces, "Everything was obviously fine, why did this happen again...?"
Could it be that all the effort she put into rescuing these people one by one, could it be that everything she did, everything Liu Hui did, was in vain? ! !
There was a sudden burning sensation in his stomach, and the nausea made He Yuezhe fall to the ground.
No, something is wrong, there is a problem here!
Her mind was filled with these words.
He forced himself to stand up and crawled towards the window.
"Bang!!!!!!"
There was a loud noise outside the window and downstairs.
"There's been a car accident, there's been a car accident, call 120!!!"
Hearing this, He Yuezhe felt cold all over and the dizziness caused her to accidentally bump into the table.
The glass, with water, hit my face.
He Yuezhe collapsed to the ground powerlessly, and countless glass fragments reflected the black cat's face.
“!!!”
——It was Zhang Zheng’s face smiling evilly.
^
The smell of blood filled his nostrils. After a few uncomfortable dry coughs, He Yuezhe forced himself to open his eyes.
The dazzling lamp hung precariously in the middle of the room, suspended by several wires.
Where is this... ?
"Ugh!!" A middle-aged man's muffled groan came from not far away.
He Yuezhe turned his head and saw a woman with a swelling on her head and a blood line on her neck massaging a man's thigh.
Liu Zhaodi...and Dai Weiguo?
Another glance around: cement floors, cement walls, cement ceilings, old and yellowed furniture, flies flying around, and muddy water flowing from the faucet.
“…” He Yuezhe probably understood.
Then he looked at the two people who were dressed simply and covered in blood.
Something changed the lives of Liu Zhaodi and Dai Weiguo, turning them into two poor and unlucky people.
Is this what they call "unexpected misfortune"?
"Your plan succeeded." He Yuezhe sneered.
"Oh, what do you mean by success?" The black cat's ferocious face appeared in her mind. "This is just the first step of the cat's plan."
"Why are you doing this?" He Yuezhe didn't expect that the first question he blurted out would be this.
"The cat won't tell you." The black cat said coldly, "This is the cat's secret."
"...Very good." He Yuezhe suppressed his anger.
"Yes, that's good." The black cat's mouth curled up into a grin. "Man, the cat knows you want to kill the cat."
"But unfortunately, killing the cat won't solve anything."
"So, you just have to obey the cat and listen to what the cat says, and then the cat will let you go."
"Otherwise, you'll—"
"Huh..." He Yuezhe let out a long breath and laughed, "Oh, it's a pity that you seem to have been exposed?"
“?!”
"Black Cat, Black Cat, you are sent by the Utopia, right?"
"W-What are you talking about?! What's this Utopia? Cat, cat has no idea!!"
"But can a world that has been discovered to have problems by the original inhabitants really still exist?"
"Of course not—you're trying to trick me!!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!" He Yuezhe laughed, "Looks like I guessed right!!!"
"You really are here to destroy this world and exterminate these indigenous people!!!"
"Human! Your sins are unforgivable!!"
"To be honest, I don't care whether this world ends or not," He Yuezhe said as he approached Liu Zhaodi and the others. "After all, I'm here for revenge."
"As for the target, I think you should know."
Thousands of thorns appeared in an instant, controlling the black cat and fixing it in place, making it unable to move!
"you!!"
"Meow."
"Little Leaf." Liu Zhaodi called the black cat's name softly.
"what your name?"
"Meow." He Yuezhe jumped onto the hard wooden bed.
“…I don’t have a name.”
"Little Leaf, I'm sorry. I didn't get any meat today. You're going to starve." Liu Zhaodi touched its head.
"You're so pathetic."
"Meow."
The dried blood stuck to Dai Weiguo's clothes. Liu Zhaodi stopped pressing and began to cut the clothes gently.
"……oh."
Seeing the man frown in pain, the black cat stretched out its claws and pressed them on his leg.
"Xiao Ye Zi," Liu Zhaodi said. A large bump appeared on her eyelid, and bruises spread to her face. "Stay away, or he might hit you."
"Meow?" The black cat tilted its head in confusion.
"Have you forgotten? He's very fierce and often beats people, even cats."
“…”
The woman's sticky hair was tied together in a mess. One strand of hair was probably not tied properly and fell off and landed in the scissors in her hand.
“Crack.”
There was a crisp sound, and a piece of hair fell on the bed.
“…”
"……Meow."
"Xiao Ye Zi," Liu Zhaodi continued, "you've suffered a lot following us."
“…”
"We are so poor that we don't have money to buy you delicious food or toys."
"I sometimes see cats being held by their owners on the street, and I think to myself, we really owe you a lot."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Xiao Ye Zi, every time I see you, I think of my daughter."
“…”
"At first, I hated her, I hated her because she was this man's child."
“…”
"But then, you know, that child, when I saw the Mother's Day card she wrote to me, I realized, I'm her mother, I shouldn't hate her, I should love her."
"'Mom, I love you, you've worked so hard!'"
"...It was this sentence, accompanied by a not-so-well-cut red heart, that I had never heard before in my life."
"'I love you' 'I love you'... these three words are like a spell. They make it impossible for me to hate her anymore."
"My life is not good, so should I give my daughter a bad life as well?"
"Every night, these words always linger in my ears."
"They are like bugs, like the air, everywhere, buzzing."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"But it was too late. On the seventh day after I finally decided to love her, I fell into a deep sleep."
"The comb I carved for her wasn't finished yet, she hadn't even had the chance to start university after finally getting admitted, and we hadn't even had a proper hug, and everything had already changed."
"Little Leaf, I really want to tell her that I love her. I really want to comb her hair myself. I really want to cook her three meals a day, wash her clothes, and teach her to grow up like other mothers do."
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Once, I stood on a high mountain, feeling the wind and caressing the grass. I told myself that I must go higher, walk on a road full of flowers.”
"And now, I live in this little basement, struggling to make ends meet and suffering from the past."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Xiao Ye Zi, my life will be short. That's what the fortune teller told me."
"I refuse to accept my fate."
"...But now it seems that if I accepted my fate, if I really died on the way out of the mountains, then I wouldn't have experienced all this, and my daughter, my child, wouldn't have been born in my womb, and wouldn't have suffered because of me?"
"Meow."
The soft cat's paws touched the woman's rough skin.
He Yuezhe wiped away the tears from the corners of the woman's eyes.
"Xiao Ye Zi, have I said too much?" The woman wiped the blood off her hands and touched the black cat's face.
"Meow." The black cat shook its head.
"Little Leaf..." The woman hugged the black cat.
"Meow..." The black cat snuggled affectionately in the woman's arms.
"sorry."
"Police, everyone inside, put your hands up!!"
"Bang!!"
The door was kicked open and several policemen came down the stairs with guns and handcuffs in their hands.
"After investigation, Mr. Dai Weiguo is suspected of human trafficking and needs to come with us!"
"Who is Dai Weiguo?!"
"He's dead."
"What?! Ms. Liu, you were the one who called the police, right? What's going on?!"
“…I killed him.”
"What?! Quick, quick, take these two people away first and take them to the police station!"
"Meow--"
Put down by Liu Zhaodi.
He Yuezhe felt that the height of her arms from the ground seemed to be bottomless. She kept falling down, but she could not fall down.
The sirens gradually faded away, and the woman's gentle voice sounded again.
"Excuse me, officers, please move aside."
"Ms. Liu, is there anything else—"
“Sizzle!!!”
"Ms. Liu!!!!"
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Xiao Ye Zi, I'm going to find Liu Hui."
"No!!!"
"You have to walk carefully and slowly on the road ahead."
“No!!! No!!!!!”
"This is my world, Liu Zhaodi's. It's where I grew up."
"Now, it dies with all its wounds."
"The sun is finally shining in."
"don't want--!!!!!!"
"Liu Zhaodi, thank you."
The woman whispered her own name, the name that had embarrassed her all her life.
"From now on, you will be called Liu——"
…
…
…
"Ding Dong! The event "Flying Disaster" has been completed!"
"Ding Dong! Please decide whether to stay in your current household or go to another one!"
