I have decided to die.

These five short words were spoken calmly, but the listeners were filled with despair.

"I'm really dead." Jian Jing said, "I fell into a bottomless black hole. At first, I felt so relaxed and quiet. The noise that had been noisy in my ears for a long time disappeared. I breathed a sigh of relief and thought I had found true peace, but..."

She glanced at Wang Shi and said faintly, "I regret it."

Wang Shi said, "You haven't understood yet..."

"No, you don't understand." Jian Jing, who committed suicide, was thin, but her every move was filled with unquestionable toughness. "You think you understand death, but in fact, you are just a bystander watching other people's death as a living person. Your 'understanding' is too shallow."

"What is death? Death means that I am no longer myself." She approached step by step, her face as white as a whitewashed wall, but her lips as red as cherries, which are the characteristics of death from carbon monoxide poisoning.

"I lost everything I had, my 'simple' family and friends, my 'simple' happiness and glory, and even my 'simple' pain." Her voice rose unconsciously, almost screaming, "I have nothing! I am no longer myself, because only with pain can one feel happiness, and people who have nothing will never feel liberated."

Wang Shi was shocked and could not say anything to refute.

A rope has no length, only two ropes can be used to compare length and shortness.

A tree has no height, only two trees can be used to compare height and lowness.

The same is true for life.

Without painful, difficult, and bitter times, how can one understand what happiness is?

"I'm scared, I regret it." The dead Jian Jing pursed her lips, tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to close her eyes, instead staring at him without blinking, "But at least, I also understand that you are wrong, I am right, and you lose."

Wang Shi took a deep breath and instinctively wanted to refute. However, she was standing in front of him, the two of them were almost face to face, and the infinitely close distance brought a huge sense of oppression.

Thousands of words, all unspeakable.

How can a living person talk about death in front of a dead person?

"If you don't agree," she raised the corners of her lips, her eyes swept across a cunning complacency, "you can try it too."

Wang Shi was shocked and wanted to step back, but it was too late.

She raised her hand and pushed him hard.

A huge black hole suddenly appeared on the ground. It was dark and bottomless, like the gate to hell. Wang Shi fell into it unexpectedly. In an instant, the cold breath of death spread to his limbs.

His vision was blurred, his stomach was sick, his body and mind were tired... It felt so real.

In a flash, Wang Shiquan understood.

This was the memory of "Jian Jing", her personal experience at the end of her life.

He shuddered uncontrollably.

Because if a person dies under hypnosis, it is very likely that he will not be able to wake up in reality.

The god of death swung his sickle, and he smelled the true breath of death.

At that moment, he had to admit that compared with the calmness and relief he imagined, the thought that emerged in his mind was actually fear.

I don't want to die.

He was also afraid.

At the moment of life and death, all rationality will collapse, all caution will disappear into nothingness, people are dominated by the instinct of survival, and will do everything they can to survive.

"No." He struggled desperately, trying to grab something to stop falling.

But it was useless.

Status, money, power, strength... The golden reliance in the secular world is just a thin thread in the black hole of death. A slight touch will break it into smoke.

Death is equality.

Death is also nothingness.

In an instant, the light disappeared, leaving only chaotic darkness.

The speed of falling is still accelerating.

The other side of the end is getting closer.

"No!" Wang Shi's face was completely distorted by extreme fear. He couldn't think, but he screamed heartbreakingly by instinct, "Mom!" The name that he hadn't seen

for nearly thirty years came out of his mouth.

In the hopeless night, a woman's face appeared. She was still so beautiful and so fragile. Her eyes were always filled with tears when she looked at him.

Wang Shi hated her for abandoning him countless times, and he missed her embrace countless times.

"Mom." He stretched out his hand, "Save me."

Wang Lingfang shed tears and gently hugged her child.

The falling stopped.

Ji Feng followed Wang Shi's clues and pulled out his communication records since May.

In addition to daily communication, there was a text message that seemed a little strange: [The final payment has been received, and the key will be sent to you]

He immediately called this number.

The other party was in the fishing business, but later went bankrupt. The warehouse he booked at the fishing port wharf had more than half a year left, so he sent a message to sublease it. Wang Shi took the initiative to contact him and rented the remaining time of the warehouse.

Ji Feng's heart was about to jump out: "Which wharf, which warehouse number?"

The other party reported the address.

Ji Feng jumped up from his chair and said, "We found him. Let's go!" He rushed to the door, braked suddenly, and told his teammates, "Call the Coast Guard and ask for support."

Lao Gao was shocked: "What? Smuggled?"

"It's hard to say." Ji Feng ran to the door, and the cold night wind made him shiver. "Ignore him, save people first."

The police car sped to the dock and turned off the siren a kilometer away.

Under the cover of night, a team of police slowly approached the target.

Lao Gao lowered his voice: "Don't you call the armed police?"

"Let's see what the situation is first." Ji Feng took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and tried to stay calm, "I always have a bad feeling."

Lao Gao's expression changed slightly: "You mean..."

Ji Feng shook his head, his heart was in turmoil, he couldn't speak, and he didn't know what to pray. He just relied on the instincts trained for many years and approached quietly.

The dock in early winter was quiet and deserted, and the air was filled with a certain fishy smell that could not be eliminated.

Holding the gun in his hand, the plastic shell was already full of human warmth.

The cold wind was howling.

Ji Feng's heart was lifted a little. He suddenly thought of Kang Mucheng's question. If she hadn't gotten what she wanted when he found her, what should he choose?

Should he ignore her wishes, put the safety of the hostages first, and break into the house to save them, or should he wait patiently, crouch by the side, and watch her suffer?

Maybe he should choose the former. As a friend and a policeman, it is the right thing to do, and no one can find fault with it. But if you put yourself in his shoes, if it were him, would he want to fail at the last hurdle?

Ji Feng asked himself, he didn't want to.

There are always things in the world that he would risk his life to do. But he had to admit that he didn't mind the pain when the knife cut himself, but it was unbearable when it cut someone else.

Or... just say that it was the leader's order, and saving people must be the first priority?

Anyway, this is the fact.

Chaotic thoughts lingered in my mind, and I was careless for a moment, and I actually got there.

The sublet warehouse was right in front of me.

The door was open and the lights were on.

"Fuck!" In an instant, all the entanglements were thrown behind my mind. Ji Feng was so shocked that his heart stopped and he pushed the door open.

The dilapidated warehouse was full of broken glass. There was a broken cage next to the wall, snow-white sheets and quilts fell to the ground, and the wire bed turned over to one side.

There was a strange smell in the air, like some kind of chemical gas.

Ji Feng covered his mouth and nose, opened all the doors, and examined the scene in the house.

"Is no one here?" Lao Gao chased in.

Ji Feng calmed down and said, "If we were a step late, the person might have boarded the ship." He was now happy and worried. He was happy that from the scene, Jian Jing was not only fine, but also had the strength to fight. But he was worried about the vast ocean and the more serious situation.

"Lao Gao." He put the gun back into the holster, his face solemn, "We have to speed up. If there is an accident at sea, there is nowhere to look."

Lao Gao looked around and nodded, "Let's contact the rescue team first."

Ji Feng guessed correctly, Jian Jing was on the sea at this time.

The reason why this happened was that we had to go back half an hour ago.

At that time, hypnosis ended.

Wang Shi suddenly opened his eyes, and the white light shone directly on his head, stimulating his eyes to tears.

"Bang", a muffled sound.

He turned his head to look, only to see Jian Jing awakened before him, holding a pistol in her hand, and fired at the glass door. He

had clearly searched her body, so where did the gun come from? Wang Shi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately. He jumped suddenly, leaped behind the table, dodged the bullet attack, and reached into the safe to take out the hidden weapon.

Jian Jing was still breaking the cage.

He had searched her in advance and thought she had no weapon. The glass house only used explosion-proof glass, which was very strong and could not be broken with bare hands.

But it was different with a gun.

Large cracks appeared on the glass, which cracked into fine and dense wire mesh.

She pulled off the sheets and blankets, picked up the wire bed, and smashed it hard on the already broken glass.

Glass shards flew everywhere and scattered all over the floor. She dropped the heavy wire bed, picked up the hem of her wedding dress, and stepped out of the cage where she had been imprisoned for many days.

The dilapidated warehouse, the cold white light, the broken glass, the thin floating dust, and the woman in the rose wedding dress, outlined a weird and gloomy picture.

Jian Jing walked slowly into the darkness, half of her face was in shadow: "Why, you want to run away when you see me come out?"

Wang Shi pressed his painful temple and fired steadily.

The bullet shot at her. Jian Jing

moved swiftly and dodged behind the table to block.

But at this moment, the back door opened.

The figure flashed into the night quickly.

Jian Jing knew that if he escaped, with Wang Shi's ability, he would be able to evade the police's sight and get away with it even if he was wanted by the whole country.

She didn't hesitate and ran after him.

The cold night wind blew on her face, with a faint smell of damp, fishy and salty water vapor.

Is this... the sea?

Heping City is a coastal city, but because of the terrain, it does not have a good natural harbor, so the maritime transportation is not developed, and the docks are basically fishing boats.

And because of excessive shallow-water fishing in recent years, Heping City has vigorously supported deep-sea fishing. The fishing season started in September this year, and in November, the fishing boats that had sailed far away had not returned yet, and the entire dock was very deserted.

Wang Shi was very smart to choose this place as a place of detention.

He was familiar with the surroundings, and disappeared after a few turns. Jian Jing immediately activated the five senses card and followed his breath.

Wang Shi moved quickly and swiftly, and ten minutes later, he had jumped onto a fishing boat.

This was a shallow-water fishing boat, very small, not much bigger than a speedboat.

When Jian Jing caught up, the boat had already started and was slowly heading into the sea.

She had to activate the white cat card, relying on the cat's jumping ability, to jump onto the deck steadily.

In the cockpit on the second floor, Wang Shi's eyes were complicated: "Do you have to catch up?"

"You are responsible for the lives of so many people, and you still want me to let you go?" The ship left the post. Jian Jing had an ominous thought in her heart, and immediately put her hands behind her back and took out the positioning device hidden in the storage compartment.

Wang Shi's expression turned cold: "You asked for it."

He held the rudder with one hand and pulled the trigger with the other.

Bullets were shooting like heavy rain.

The deck was narrow, so she had to dodge to the side and be careful not to roll into the sea.

Taking this opportunity, the fishing boat had already left the fleet at the dock and rushed into the sea at the fastest speed. The sea surface at night was cold and lightless, like a lurking giant beast.

Wang Shi was like a madman in despair. He didn't care about the condition of the ship. He would shoot as soon as he saw her.

Sparks flew and several holes appeared on the deck.

"Xiao Jing," he said, "I don't want to kill you. There are life jackets on the boat. Jump down."
