Li Yichen pressed his lips tightly, sat stiffly in the wheelchair, his arms hanging motionless on his side.
The cold secret room was originally dark, but the monitor and the console were shining with dots of light. The smell of pine and moss was intertwined with the strong acetic acid, floating in the wind.
The wind came from the hole in the wall that Luo Ye punched through, and the light was like a pillar, shining in front of his feet, and Hu Jiyao hurriedly stood up and stood in front of him.
Dust invades along with wind and light. These small dusts, which are almost invisible to the naked eye, flew with the stone chips, and poured in along the beam of light like pearls.
There is a lot of dust, too much for Li Yichen to calculate. Tens of billions of dust form a flickering band of light. Accompanied by the muffled noise made by Luo Ye, it feels like the last moment of life, the god of death is finally coming to claim his life— Chenguang is a sickle, and Luo Ye is a god of death.
Li Yichen has been fighting with death since he was born. He thought he would not be afraid, but this situation caused his five fingers to open and close uncontrollably.
-This wall of the secret room is made of extremely strong granite. Since Luo Ye can open a hole with a punch, it is definitely not a problem to rush in and kill him.
But there were only a few sounds of cleaning up the rubble outside the wall, the stone was kicked away, making a dull and abrupt sound, and then it was calm.
Hu Jiyao stood nervously in front of Li Yichen, holding her breath, trying to make Luo Ye mistakenly believe that there is no one here at all. But this is simply impossible, Luo Ye is not a casual character. He is extremely clever and cunning, just like a cheetah who never gives up until he reaches his goal. As long as he catches his eye, there is only one dead end if he doesn't surrender. Hu Jiyao couldn't help but began to worry. She wondered if Li Yichen's last bomb move had already angered Luo Ye. Do they still have a chance to shake hands and make peace
"You two are not very polite, you don't even answer your greetings." Luo Ye leaned back against the wall and sat down comfortably.
Hu Jiyao was startled by the ease in Luo Ye's tone. She turned to look at Li Yichen and found that Li Yichen was also a little surprised.
Indeed, it doesn't make much sense to shrink back and avoid it. Li Yichen thought for a while and opened his mouth several times. Only then did he vomit softly: "Hello, Luo Ye." This is the first time in his life that he has spoken to a stranger he never knew.
"Ha," Luo Ye smiled. "Mind if I smoke a cigarette? I'm bruised and bruised now, and that damn cardiotonic makes every joint hurt so much." He said, before Li Yichen could speak, he took out the cigarette case and knocked out a cigarette. I lit it with a lighter. "But fortunately there is a cardiotonic, otherwise I will die of your spider poison."
He took a puff of smoke, let the smoke blow out of his lungs, and continued lazily: "To be honest. I haven't been so close to death for a long time, when I discovered the maze. I didn't realize that you were smarter than I thought. , But after I entered the cemetery. I realized that I had found a genius opponent."
Li Yichen was silent for a while, and said simply: "But you are not dead."
"Yes," Luo Ye spit out another smoke ring, and said sadly: "You are dying."
Hu Jiyao's heart suddenly became entangled, "Mr. Luo—" If Luo Ye can't hurt Li Yichen, she is willing to put down all her pride and beg him.
"Yaoyao!" Li Yichen raised his voice, "This is a dialogue between the two of us. No matter what the outcome is, it is also a matter between the two of us."
Hu Jiyao's tears rolled in her eyes, bit her lip, and stopped talking.
Luo Ye smiled lightly, "Miss Hu, you have misunderstood what I mean. It's not practical for me to kill him, and he won't live long. Although your plan is very subtle, there are still many loopholes, such as robbery. You have not done a good job of handling the bandits and controlling the hostages. According to Li Yichen's genius IQ, it should have been more seamless, so this is obviously the result of a long-planned but hasty operation."
Hu Jiyao looked at Li Yichen in surprise, "Yichen, is this true? Why are you..."
Li Yichen's face was solemn, and he paused for a long time before slowly saying: "A month ago, I checked my blood, and my body is dying, just like the withered grass in winter, there is no way to maintain it."
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Hu Jiyao's tears flowed out.
"Sooner or later, this is the result. You and I should be prepared." Li Yichen smiled bitterly, "That's why I advanced the plan. I thought that even if perfection could not be achieved, no one would see through it, but I didn't expect... Luo Ye, I have never admired anyone, but you are worthy of my admiration. Come on, what do you want from me?"
Luo Ye flicked the soot between his fingers and said with a smile: "It's very simple, I want to make a deal with you."
"I'm listening." Li Yichen said.
"There is actually no need for conflict between us," Luo Ye said. "Your purpose is to avenge your father, and my purpose is to protect Lin Wanyu."
"Ke Lin Wanyu is the president of Dingxin Company, and the target of my revenge is also Dingxin Company—"
"You are wrong." Luo Ye pointed out sharply: "You chose the wrong target. Dingxin Company is just a concrete building. What use is it for you to retaliate against a building?"
Not to be outdone, Li Yichen said: "I can make Dingxin Company torn apart."
"Don't be nonsense, how many days can you live?" Luo Ye said violently, "With me, do you think you can achieve it before you die?"
Li Yichen gritted his teeth, "So I have to kill you. The only purpose of this Nanshan party is to kill you. The robbery is just to conceal the truth."
"It's a pity that you failed." Luo Ye shrugged, "You have to know that I am not a soft-hearted person. No matter how smart you are or how miserable you are, as long as I want to kill you, it's just a cut. "His tone is very relaxed and flat, as casual as he is talking about how good today's food is.
"Then why don't you do it?" Li Yichen felt that his fingers were tight together, and clenching his fist would make him very painful. But now only severe pain can calm him down.
Luo Ye reached out and took out the shabby manuscript and placed it at the opening of the wall that he had blasted open.
"What?" Li Yichen asked.
"I read your diary."
"Just for this?" Li Yichen wanted to laugh out loud, "I am not the me when I was a kid now, if you pity me—"
"I can't pity you." Luo Ye sighed, "My pity is Li Yifeng and Hu Jiyao-you have changed, but they haven't changed. How much hardship you endure, they will accompany you to endure how much hardship you suffer from physiologically. In fact, you may be the most unfortunate person, but in reality, you are the luckiest person."
"Lucky?" Li Yichen sneered. "I am suffering every day, where is there any luck?!"
"I once had a friend who was willing to give my entire life to me. He could give up everything for me and he could cut off his own flesh to feed me. He could endure the pain of tearing off his skin and would be willing to be my silent shadow—" Ye's expression dimmed, and the cigarette butt between his fingers burned his fingers, and he didn't care at all, "After he died. I understand what real pain is. Your own pain is nothing, because in this world. There are two other people who will accompany you sincerely in pain. Unlike me, there will always be only one person left..."
Li Yichen was silent.
"Your life is not a few days away. Cherish them well, at least before you die. Keep the brightest smile in their memory." Luo Ye said.
Hu Jiyao's tears flooded, and she covered her mouth vigorously with her hand. Did not let the crying release. Luo Ye told her the grievances in her heart. She wanted to see Li Yichen's smile again. The smile that made her heartbeat had been hidden for too long.
Li Yichen stubbornly said, "You did this deliberately to protect Lin Wanyu and you don't want her to lose her position as president?"
"The Lin family has nothing to do with your father's hatred. You know this. Otherwise, when your father steps down, it is impossible to transfer all the shares to Lin Wanyu's father at a low price." Luo Ye said, "Although Lin Wanyu has taken over. He became the president of Dingxin, but the company was actually still in the hands of Fang Tianming. He spent more than ten years in painstaking management in order to fully control the company. Even the fact that your father stepped down was also an accusation from him—in other words , Your goal should not be Dingxin Company, but Fang Tianming, and the mysterious forces behind Fang Tianming."
Li Yichen suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, you just want to use my power to deal with Fang Tianming, right?"
"No, there is one more point." Luo Ye smiled lightly and wiped out the cigarette butt with his fingers. "Do you really think that your disease is a genetic defect? Did you know that there is a poison that can cause this effect?"
Li Yichen almost fell off the wheelchair, "Impossible! If it is poisoned, I can definitely detect it!"
Luo Ye grinned, "I admit that you are a genius, but you are far behind the person who designed this toxin. His poison is not only colorless and tasteless, but more importantly, it can imitate the natural defects of adult humans, making people There is no way to track it down. I have read your treatment manuscript, and you wrote that Dr. Liang uses the spider king’s venom every week to formulate healing potions. After every use of the potion, you will feel very comfortable, as if you would get a good night’s sleep. Healed—"
"But it's worse after waking up." Li Yichen's lips couldn't help but tremble.
"Yes, because the special venom of the spider king is not only an indispensable kind of antidote, but also an indispensable kind of poison," Luo Ye said: "You are not cured by a kind of poison. The poison can only be sustained by continuous poisoning."
Hu Jiyao eagerly interrupted and said, "If this is the case, does it mean that Yichen is still saved?"
"I said, he is dead." Luo Ye said, "No one can solve that person's poison. Li Yichen has stopped taking venom for so many years. His body is no longer good. You don't have to worry about things that are impossible. It's a fluke."
"Who is he?" Li Yichen squeezed his fingers tightly together, and blood slowly dripped from his fingers.
Luo Ye paused, "No. 4 in the world's killer list, codenamed Poison Producer."
"We can find him," Hu Jiyao said anxiously, "We can pay as much money as we want! As long as he can—"
"No, you won't see him."
"Why, why?"
"He was dead long ago," Luo Ye smiled faintly, and spit out a few words softly: "I killed him." . )
