Chapter 23 LilyThe dim twilight gradually descended. There was no moon and the surroundings were dim and dark. The green woods turned into twisted ghosts, hiding in the mist with their fangs and claws. Vodka hid behind a tree and held his breath. Not long after being thrown off this morning, he saw a ball of fire breaking out of the low wall. In an instant he understood, without a doubt, it was definitely Su Beixun who did it! Although I don’t know why the plan changed from kidnapping a mute child to setting fire to a building, the effect is undoubtedly significant! Because just twenty minutes ago, he saw Jiang Gu Yichuan driving over from another road! After reporting this news to Gin, he went straight into the woods - his stealth was poor and he would be easily discovered if he went too close to the orphanage. There is a high probability that Jiang Guyichuan has entered an orphanage. I wonder if Su Beixun can handle it? Just as he was daydreaming, he received a text message. [There are four bodyguards near the orphanage, and the backup ID card is in one of their intercoms! Jiang Gu Yichuan and I are in the basement, and the entrance is on the left side of the wall outside the orphanage. ] Vodka perked up, gripped the gun in his arms, and looked fierce. ## The shrill howls became increasingly low and turned into weak groans. The yellow soil was saturated with blood and turned into a dirty dark brown. The exquisite clothes were no longer as expensive as before and were now stained with urine and tears.
Su Beixun turned around indifferently, stood in front of the cowering child, and stuffed the handle of the knife into his hand. "Zero, kill him." The child shook his head in fear, he shed silent tears, and his little hands couldn't stop shaking. "Don't dare. Or don't want to?" Su Beixun squatted down and ran his fingers over every hideous wound on his body. "He did a lot of things to you." His tone was gentle, as if to persuade him, "Whip, bite, hurt, imprison, torture... You hate him, right?" The child was so frightened that his whole body froze, allowing Su Beixun to brush across his bruised body. Su Beixun used his fingertips to stroke the dark circles under his eye sockets, and gently said as if to lull him to sleep: "You can't escape the tragic reality. Even if you fall asleep, you will be awakened by nightmares. When you open your eyes, you can't see the warm sunshine, and there are cold gravel all around... Even if you cry your heart out, no one will pay attention, because there is only one person who can hear you, and he has no mercy on you." He grabbed the child's hand holding the knife, tightened it little by little, and asked calmly: "Even so, will you forgive him?" Forgive...him? The child looked at the howling man with dull eyes like a dry well. He stared at him for a long time and said in a hoarse and difficult voice, almost like a dream: "No...don't..." His eyes were soaked in water, just like a dry well receiving the warm spring rain, and suddenly they came alive. He burst into tears and repeated heartbreakingly: "I don't want to forgive him!" Su Beixun smiled, stood up, pulled out the bed sheet, covered Jiang Gu Yichuan's miserable body with it, fixed his limbs, looked into the child's eyes, and said softly: "Then, come and kill him!" ## Thump~ The bodyguard with his neck broken fell heavily to the ground. After all, he was a code name member of the organization. He launched a sneak attack and easily knocked down all the bodyguards who had no vigilance. Vodka reached into his clothes and fumbled out a walkie-talkie, carefully opened the interlayer, and a white ID card fell out. His eyes lit up and he quickly picked it up and put it in his inside pocket. Carrying the four corpses on his back, Vodka followed Su Beixun's instructions, found the main gate of Jianggu Yichuan's tunnel, and ducked down to get in.
Getting the ID card back was indeed a good thing, but he did not forget his real mission, which was to take pictures of Su Beixun's handle! While praying that Jiang Gu Yichuan was not dead, he trotted through the tunnel and pushed open the innermost iron door. In an instant, a surge of bloody smell and shrill screams suddenly burst out, scaring Vodka. He calmed down and saw a naked child sitting on Jiang Gu Yichuan's body, stabbing mechanically with a knife in both hands. But the knife was too short, the child was too weak, and he didn't aim at the vital points, so although Jiang Gu Yichuan shed a pool of blood, he still had the strength to howl. The absurd scene in front of him made Vodka a little dazed. He muttered to himself: "What...what...is this..." "This is revenge!" Su Beixun held up his mobile phone to take pictures. He looked at Vodka with a deep and intoxicated look and laughed: "This is the awakening that has been brewing for a long time, the anger that becomes more and more unwilling in endurance, the soul that wants to reconcile with itself, and the best antidote to break free from pain... This is a wonderful revenge!" He laughed wildly, looking crazy and terrifying in the symphony of knife and flesh and blood. Su Beixun opened his arms, looked at the child stained with blood, and laughed loudly: "With the passing of one life, another soul will be reborn in blood. On this stage full of sinful pasts, who is holding a sharp blade to take someone's life, an angel or a devil? Hahahaha, who can tell the difference!" Vodka swallowed, touched the hairy back of his neck, and felt that he was the only normal person here. ## Jiang Gu Yichuan's vision gradually blurred, and the pain in his body gradually became numb. He tried hard to look at the child sitting on him, but he didn't feel panic even though he was sliding towards death. After decades of luxury and prosperity, his life ended in the hands of his favorite child. What a blessing it was! He gazed greedily at the tear-stained face of the child, moved his nose to catch the faint scent of milk hidden in the blood, tried his best to feel every inch of skin that came in contact with the child, and gradually a sincere smile appeared on his face. Enough, this is enough... Being able to die in happiness, this is truly the perfect ending! ## Zero performed subconscious movements on Jiang Gu Ichikawa's body until his strength was exhausted, then he stood there gasping for breath. Su Beixun turned to Vodka and said, "Leave the body here, and go drive the car first." Vodka, who didn't want to stay any longer, quickly left the four bodies behind and ran out. Su Beixun took the child off Jiang Guyichuan's body, pulled out the knife in his hand, wiped off the blood and put it away again. Then they piled the five bodies together, took out gasoline and poured it all over the basement, and sprinkled some combustible materials. "Let's go." He waved at the child and promised, "You helped me a lot by killing Jiang Gu Yichuan, so don't worry, I will adopt you. As for the murder, it's easy to settle with a lawyer in your situation. I will take care of it." The child stood there without moving. He looked at Su Beixun and pleaded in a hoarse voice: "Knife... Knife..." Su Beixun looked at his dead eyes and suddenly grinned, "Why, you don't want to die here, do you? It's really interesting, you have a brother, he has been looking for you, don't you want to go and see him again?" Zero's eyes didn't waver at all. He was like a broken puppet, just repeating: "Knife... Knife..." Su Beixun pursed his lips, stared at the child and said seriously: "I am not good at persuading others... If you are afraid of me and don't want to live with me, I can take you back to the orphanage and you can live a peaceful life like when you were a child." The kid just shook his head. "Is it?" Su Beixun was silent. After a moment, he placed a white capsule at his feet and took two steps back. "Being stabbed to death is very painful. I have a homemade poison here... If you are really determined, come and get it yourself." The child's strength had not yet fully recovered, but he stumbled over, bent down, picked up the dusty capsule, and held it tightly in his hand. He turned his head to take one last look at Jiang Guyichuan's body, then looked up into Su Beixun's eyes, bowed, and said hoarsely: "Thank...thank...you..."
Su Beixun stood there silently. He didn't know what he felt now. He was familiar with death and had caused death. But this was the first time he felt... regret? Reluctance? Or was it not worth it? Oh, who knows? Su Beixun took off his coat and wrapped the child's lifeless body with it. So be it…… He threw the burning lighter into the basement. boom! The flames shot up very high! The heat wave hit all around, turning the expressionless face red. Su Beixun did not leave. He silently watched the flames licking the thin body. After a moment, he took out a bunch of lilies and threw them into the already distorted fire scene. The petals spread out in the heat, fluttering in the flames. The pure white color, with a faint floral fragrance, embellished the ruthless fire that sent people to hell. After a long time, Su Beixun turned and left, whispering in his heart. "Zero, you have a pure soul...May you be guided by heaven, free from suffering and strife, and find happiness!" (End of this chapter)
