The wind is getting stronger.
Xingchen didn't wear many clothes at this time.
"On New Year's Eve... let's go see my brother."
Then, he walked towards the apartment.
There are not many green belts in this community, and everywhere you look, there are weeds and dead wood. Because no one came to clean it, a lot of garbage accumulated on the ground.
At this moment, Xingchen suddenly saw Min. At this time... She was standing on the bank of the river in the community.
In fact, under the bridge, there is a part of the river beach that is not blocked by guardrails at all, and you can easily walk down. The residents of the community have reported safety issues to the property, but there has been no response.
Min had been staring at the river, and then, suddenly, took a step... into the water of the river!
Xingchen was stunned for a moment! Then he immediately realized... She, she is going to commit suicide!
This is not surprising, the residents living in this apartment are struggling and suffering in pain and fear every day, because there are residents who bear the same fate, and there is hope that they may survive, so they can barely support, but this This kind of thing is hard for anyone to bear. When watching the residents carry out the instructions in blood and fail to return, everyone will think, will they be the next one
It is not surprising that when such negative emotions accumulate to a certain extent, thoughts of committing suicide will arise. In fact, there have been instances of resident suicides before.
While Xingchen was in a daze, Min's other foot also stepped into the river.
Entering and whoever is close to the river beach, the water is only submerged up to the knees for a while, but if this continues...
Xingchen rushed over in two steps in three steps, and walked along the gap to the river beach below. At this time, Min's body was half submerged in the river!
"Hey! You... don't do stupid things!"
Xingchen also rushed into the river, he can't swim, but it's impossible to watch Min commit suicide in front of his eyes, right
Fortunately, the current part of the river is not deep, so he finally grabbed Min's body, pulled her back repeatedly, and shouted: "I... I understand your feelings, I know you are very afraid that you will die one day... But aren't we all the same? Why are we all living well, you are going to die!"
Min's body was still struggling in the water, but gradually stopped moving. It's not like those women in the bloody romance drama, shouting "Let me die, let me die" when suicide is prevented, that is simply nonsense.
Many people who commit suicide will regret it during the suicide process. No one really wants to die.
Pulling Min to the shore, Bian Xingchen held her tightly, afraid that she would go back and do something stupid again.
"Okay..." Min wiped the water from her face and said, "Let me go. I... won't go there anymore."
Seeing that her eyes didn't look fake, Xing Chen let go of her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the two of them were lying on the weed pile by the river, and no one passed by.
"You... seem to have carried out the instructions in blood once, right? Same as me? They are all residents who joined last year."
"Yes." She nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
"Are you too scared to continue? Miss Min... Let me declare first, I can't swim. If you are already struggling in the middle of the river, I will definitely not come to rescue you. I am not so stupid! There is only one life, no It’s gone. Since it’s been executed once, why can’t it be done nine times?”
"I'm tired." She said suddenly: "I'm really tired. This kind of burden that I don't know how long it will last, I can't even control my own life and death. Knowing it is dangerous, it will make me die I still have to go to the local place. I have to go... "
"Let's go." Xing Chen stood up and said, "Let's go back first. You look like this, you have to change clothes. Really, I can't stand it... You can run into this kind of thing when you go out to play! Okay, okay, Don't make a sad face..."
"Since you are so afraid of death, why don't you try your best to live!"
On the 25th floor of the apartment, Xing Chen returned to the room and changed into new clothes. Then he went out the door and saw that Min had also changed and came out.
"Really..." Xingchen approached Min and said, "Don't do that in the future, you know?"
"Yeah." She nodded slightly, then stopped talking.
"Do you want to talk to me?" Xingchen said suddenly: "Although we are next door neighbors, but... you seem to seldom communicate with me. In this apartment, it would be better for residents to communicate more with each other?"
"Whatever." She murmured, "Thank you, though. Come... save me."
"Don't thank me... I can't just watch you commit suicide. Come in, um, your dress is really good, where can I buy it..."
Having said that, Xingchen realized that he had said the wrong thing. All these clothes naturally appeared in the wardrobe of the apartment, where they were bought. In fact, as long as the residents put the name of the clothing brand on the wardrobe, any brand-name clothes can appear. However, which resident has this mood.
Entering Xingchen's house, his house has four bedrooms and one living room, which is much larger than Min's house. There is a TV in each of the three bedrooms and two computers. Even in this apartment, you can still watch TV, use the computer to surf the Internet, and the telephone can also be used. It's really weird.
In fact, the source of water and electricity for this apartment is also a mystery. It is obviously impossible for someone to supply water and electricity to the apartment, but water and electricity can be generated automatically and continuously.
"The bloody word you executed last time... I remember, it was going to an amusement park, right? It was stipulated to ride a Ferris wheel at night. Isn't that right?"
"Hmm." Min nodded and said, "There were a total of six residents who went to carry out the execution, and they were scattered in different cockpits of the Ferris wheel. However... ghosts would appear in the cockpit adjacent to us, which was mysterious. The whole Ferris wheel rotated. The process was extremely slow. Then, ghosts would unknowingly appear in the cockpit of the residents... and kept approaching us... As a result, a total of three residents died. They all disappeared in the cockpit... "
In the cockpit of the Ferris wheel, in a closed cage where there is no way to escape, it is indeed too terrifying.
And this is only the difficulty indicated by the blood letter for the first time.
In the end, only Min and the other two residents managed to escape.
"I understand your feelings." Xingchen said, "However, this is the same for every resident. Now, the bloody character of the devil king is an excellent opportunity for us. As long as we can get the hell contract, we Maybe there's a silver lining. Isn't it?"
yes…
There is still a chance...
"Your family..." Min suddenly asked, "How about your family? How do you explain to them that you moved out?"
"My parents are overseas all the year round, and my brother and I live together in China. My brother is a university professor, and I... just a very ordinary person, no, even disabled. For my parents, maybe I am redundant, Because my brother is here... my existence is not so conspicuous."
"That's not the case... for parents..."
"No. Maybe you're an only child and you think that. It's impossible for a parent of two to be completely impartial in their children, especially if one of them is exceptional. And instead of being exceptional, I've always been …”
"Don't say that." Min shook her head and said, "I think you are a very nice person. Living in this apartment, and being able to come to my rescue, comfort me, and help me...those are very precious qualities."
"Maybe..." Xingchen smiled wryly.
But it won't. At least my mother doesn't pay attention to me at all.
The mother's background is not good, she is a person who rolls in the wind and dust. And his father is a mixed race, and his family has a quite rich industry abroad. When he fell in love with his mother, he was unanimously opposed by the family, and even claimed that if he married his mother, he would be expelled from the house.
But my father was determined to marry my mother, and after dealing with the family members for a year or two, I was able to get my grandfather and grandmother to agree to the matter. However, both grandparents have requested that they must have children within one year of marriage to inherit the family business.
Under such circumstances, the eldest grandson of the Bian family was born, that is, the elder brother. The stars are born after six years have elapsed.
After my brother was born, my mother spared no effort to give him the best education. Almost everyone in the family watched their mother coldly, waiting for her to make a fool of herself. Seeing her give birth to a son naturally made her even more resentful. In order to train my brother to be the successor of the future family, my mother let him receive a lot of cultural knowledge and social etiquette education from a very young age, and even let him study management when he was about ten years old.
Fortunately, my elder brother is talented, and he can easily master everything he learns. This also comforted the grandparents who originally opposed the marriage. Even his attitude towards his mother later eased to a large extent. It can be said that the elder brother's birth and his constant display of intelligence and talent are very important reasons.
This also made the mother set a very high goal for her elder brother. She must let her elder brother go to the best university and take over the family business in the future, so that she can completely raise her head in the Bian family, and she will no longer have to be punished because of the past. People look at it coldly. She knew very well... Once her brother's natural talent disappeared, or if he showed a little bit of idleness, then someone would definitely blame her genetics.
This is absolutely not allowed by the mother.
When I was born, my mother initially had certain expectations for herself. I hired many tutors for myself, let myself learn English when I was only three or four years old, and began to study history and politics when I was a little older. And I am completely different from my brother, without that talent, it is difficult to fully digest everything I learn, and my memory is also very poor. Comparing his grades with his brother's is simply a world of difference. This made my mother have a headache for herself, and every time she saw him, she would look with strong contempt and hatred.
On the contrary, my father treats me very well. He often accompanies me to play games and video games after studying, and also takes me to the amusement park. However, my mother has always been indifferent to me, because I am completely inferior to my brother, and it is of no benefit to my mother's status in the family. Because of this, I will even drop the talk and let my aunts and uncles ridicule my mother. This made the mother hate herself more and more, and even regretted giving birth to herself.
After all... having a brother is enough. With an older brother, most of the inheritance rights can be obtained naturally. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, she also has a good face.
My elder brother is useful to my mother... However, I am useless to my mother.
Therefore, when he was in that car accident and was sent to the hospital with his brother, he needed to be treated as soon as possible. At that time, my father was not in the country, only my mother was there. Both my brother and I were unconscious at the time, my brother suffered a brain injury, and I was injured by glass shards in my right eye, both of which were relatively dangerous.
At that time, the hospital had also received several serious major surgeries, and the number of surgeons was insufficient, and even the blood storage in the blood bank had problems. But the patient couldn't wait, so the mother asked the hospital's ace surgeon to be in charge of the brother's operation immediately by name. And I... was abandoned by my mother. Because of the mother's background, the hospital can only follow the arrangement of the mother.
In fact, my situation was more serious than that of my brother at that time. After a CT scan of the brain, my brother thought the situation was not particularly critical, but if the situation at that time dragged on, he would be in danger of blindness.
But the mother chose her brother instead of herself. If the ace surgeon was in charge of his operation at that time, maybe the eye could be saved.
It has been so long since the car accident, but up to now, he can still hear the roaring sound coming from his ears.
The person who drove the car was himself, and the accident was to avoid several pedestrians. After the operation, knowing that she might not be able to see again, her mother still blamed herself, what should she do if something happened to her brother.
He didn't even comfort himself at all.
"Don't you still have an eye? It doesn't matter. Your brother has a brain injury. If something happens, it will be terrible!"
Brother... brother... Does mother only want brother
What is it
Since only my brother is needed... then what is the purpose of giving birth to me
After that, the completely blind right eye, like a black hole that eats people, gnawed at Xing Chen's heart all the time.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his ecstatic look, Min asked, "Your expression...looks very sad. Are you completely blind in your right eye?"
"Well. Later, I looked for someone who had a cornea transplant, but there was no news. My girlfriend also disliked me and broke up with me. In fact, I also know that she is only interested in the financial resources of the Bian family. With me , has nothing to do with it."
After being silent for a while, Min said, "You... care about this very much? It hurts?"
"Forget it. Even if you suffer and complain, your eyes will not recover. It is better to live hard than this. Although I think so... But people around me will cast contempt and cold eyes. In this world, it is impossible to accept other people's eyes. There are countless disabled people..."
"No!" Min suddenly said, "No... no. It's not a disability... There is one eye that can't see, it's not a disability at all... The real disability is those who have lost their soul and humanity..."
At this moment, Min's cell phone vibrated.
Min picks up her phone and looks... the caller ID reads "Deep Rain".
After answering the phone, I heard that extremely familiar voice. This made Min almost shed tears with excitement...
"From now on, don't come to see me again..."
However, the first sentence on the other end of the phone made Min feel as if she had fallen into an abyss.
Min walked out of the room and into the hallway.
"Deep rain..." Min said with tears in her eyes, "You just... don't want to see me then? Do you want to make a complete break with me?"
There was a slight silence on the other end of the phone.
"I tried to understand and accept you in the past."
"But... still can't do it. Even if it's not your fault, I still can't accept it. I can't face you at all... Whenever I see you, I will loathe and hate myself so much."
"Deep rain..."
"That's it, if you understand, then I'll hang up."
"wait wait wait!"
Min gritted her teeth and said to Shen Yu: "Okay... I promise, I will never appear in front of you again... But, please promise me one thing? Give me a picture, give me a picture of you The painting... If I miss you in the future, I will live by looking at that painting. Like this, is it okay? I beg you... "
After a while, the other end of the phone said: "Then... okay. I'll choose one and send it to you. Tell me your address."
address? Where can this apartment receive courier
"I... go pick it up in person. At that time, let's count it as the last time we meet..."
"..."
"please… "
"Okay. Then, on the morning of New Year's Eve, you come to the orphanage, and I will give you the painting."
