8. The Truth 02

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Su Shi took the item, tore open the packaging, and found it to be a piece of candy. He glanced at it and placed it on the ground without eating it

The items are already in hand, and the person has been killed. Even the police have been lured here by you, yet you remain unrepentant? How long do you intend to wait for her here?" The girl, resembling a high school student, sneered, "She won't come. Even if she did, it would be meaningless. We have killed her entire family. What do you expect to achieve with her? To continue writing letters, drawing those nonsensical things, and engaging in that kind of Platonic love? Stop dreaming!" To continue writing letters, drawing those nonsensical things, and engaging in that kind of Platonic love? Stop dreaming!

Sasha sneered, the other side of the forest is quite lively

Su Shi furrowed her brows slightly, staring intently at the other side of the forest

Why should I be so obedient

A killer who acts on emotions, a killer who is disloyal to themselves, will surely meet their demise

"What the hell! Are you still 'stuck'? Do you really think you are directing a play?" Huo Xing tossed her long hair, which was black and straight, cascading down beautifully. However, her high and smooth forehead, combined with her flowing hair, gave off a somewhat wild and rebellious vibe, lacking the elegance and nobility of femininity. "If I run to the edge of the cliff and he still doesn't come, can I stop acting?" She was truly exhausted from the script, both mentally and physically. It was one thing to suffer from a breakup alone, but to exert herself to portray a breakup, no matter how absurd she found this 'breakup crying scene,' shouting out lines like 'Why did you lie to me?' and 'I am so pitiful,' she found tears welling up in her eyes. Heartbreak was originally very simple, but suddenly it became complicated. It was hard to tell whether she was sad because of the shattered illusions about Su Shi, or due to her own disappointment, the bruising of her self-esteem, or her disdain for reality. Looking at the 'lines' written by Xue Chunchai, she initially found them quite ridiculous, yet inexplicably hoped that Su Shi could hear every word she shouted.

Just as the two were once again in silence, a commotion arose from down the mountain

Su Shi sat on the rocks of a high mountain, holding his right knee while gazing at the moonlight, his eyes as enchanting and mysterious as the moon itself. A girl dressed in a high school uniform yet carrying a sniper rifle looked at him with a cold smile, remaining silent.

Ah ah ah ah— accompanied by the sounds of wailing and crying, a faint sound of collision echoed in the night sky, along with the noise of commotion. Someone shouted, "Catch her, don't let her run away!" Another person yelled, "Don't let her jump down!" Yet another called out, "Confiscate her belongings, don't let her take sleeping pills—"

Why did you deceive me—why is everything different from what I imagined—I am a fool

As she lifted the tent flap, a gust of cool wind swept through her collar and sleeves; the night in the mountains was very cold, and the wind was icy. There were no lights anywhere, only darkness. She did not know where the path was, nor whether the ground was high or low, whether it was a puddle or a rock, and she just kept running forward.

The killer is ruthless

Let me die, so be it

As the better part of the day gradually passed, the sky darkened, and the stars twinkled behind the gray clouds. When the clouds parted and the mist dispersed, the moonlight emerged, enchanting and filled with a mysterious soft glow

Why should I really run out

"Card," Xue Chunchai called out coolly, making a grand gesture as a director would, and Huo Xing turned and ran outside

She has always thought that Su Shi is very handsome; if he were to die young, she would certainly feel a great sense of regret.

He wants to protect a person

"If her father dares to commit such heinous acts to swindle money, he must be prepared to face the consequences. You accepted the money for her family's tea leaves, and I accepted the money to kill her entire family. I did not interfere with your work, so do not interfere with mine!" The girl scoffed, "Do not think that by helping me kill one person, you can exchange it for Li Jia's life!"

"Don't make a fuss, be good, continue, continue." Xue Chunchai shushed, "If you shout a couple more times, when I say 'go', you just run outside. Your long hair is really nice, it looks quite wild and gives off a sense of madness."

The person he is waiting for never arrives, yet regardless of how difficult and arduous the wait may be, and no matter the risks involved, he continues to wait

Su Shi was clearly taken aback for a moment; this voice was very familiar, it was indeed Huo Xing's voice

I am a fool

Where should I run to

The girl looked at him coldly, her lips curling in a hint of disdain, "You hardly ever kill anyone, stop posturing, who are you trying to fool?"

Ah, let me die! Such a phrase faintly drifts through the wind, spoken in a tone filled with wailing and lamentation, "I am truly too pitiful—Oh, Heaven!"

Although it is quite absurd, every single word is something she truly wants to say, truly wants to curse, and truly wants to ask

Shasha was taken aback, and with a "click," she raised her sniper rifle, aiming in the direction from which the sound came. However, the night was dimly lit, and even the scope of the sniper rifle could not reveal what was happening on the other side of the woods

Why should I let the pig-headed person with the surname Xue command like this

Everything is so still, tranquil yet not peaceful

Su Shi slowly retracted the gun and continued to gaze quietly at the moon. Bathed in the moonlight, his eyelashes were long, and his eyes were clear yet melancholic, embodying a kind of restrained perseverance

After shouting seven or eight times, Huo Xing helplessly turned to look at Xue Chunchai, switched off the microphone, and said, "You must be doing this on purpose to see me make a fool of myself! Who would really believe such a voice? Who would really come to save someone?"

At the edge of the forest, in the tent hastily set up by Jiang Tianran, Huo Xing held a small loudspeaker, speaking into the microphone while looking at the "lines" written for her by Xue Chunchai, elongating her voice to wail mournfully. Jiang Tianran had made a heavy sandbag filled with soil in a burlap sack, which she would slam against the tree one moment and against the ground the next, producing sounds of struggle and collapse. Xue Chunchai played three or four passersby by herself, shouting "Don't let her escape!" one moment and then yelling "Don't let her take the medicine!" the next.

He is waiting for someone

It will definitely be accomplished

"I will never allow you to kill her!" Su Shi said word by word, his snow-white and delicate fingers gently moving under the moonlight, the joints of his fingers rounded, almost without wrinkles, pleasing to the eye under the moonlight

I have been waiting for someone

The girl looked at his hand coldly, "Are you trying to say that if I want to kill her, you will kill me? Su Shi, we are grasshoppers on the same rope. You have caused me to be surrounded by hundreds of police on this mountain, and I haven't settled the score with you yet. Are you threatening me first?"

With a slight sound, Su Shi pointed the gun in his hand at the girl's forehead in an instant, the movement so swift that it was almost completed in the blink of an eye. Moreover, he had already disengaged the safety and pulled the first lock of the trigger. "Shasha, killing you, I do not feel regret."

Sasha picked up the long sniper rifle, checked the gunfire, sighed, and in her heart, she felt that Su Li and an idiot were no different

Why is everything different from what I imagined

Why are you deceiving me

"As long as you do not kill her, I will leave." Su Shi's gaze was as cold as jade, "I will not concern myself with anything else."

After a while, the girl threw something to him, "Eat."
