Chapter 418 Selfishness
Author: Snow Phoenix
Sure enough, I applied for the bulletproof vest.
Just at this time, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Jiang received calls from the kidnappers, asking them to take 80 million in cash each to redeem their children.
"Eighty million!?" Mrs. Lin's expression changed at that time.
Mrs. Jiang's face didn't look too good either, but she didn't lose her composure.
Mrs. Lin wanted to bargain with the kidnapper, but the other party hung up the phone.
"Where do I get so much money?" Mrs. Lin cried loudly.
Jin Mang and the others looked at each other.
The income of a level 8 food inspector... 80 million should be just a drop in the bucket, right?
They originally thought that Mrs. Lin was crying about poverty, but they didn't want to hear her say: "The supplementary card my husband gave me can only use five million yuan every month. I have already used more than three million yuan this month."
Everyone fell silent immediately.
But Master Sun said: "Where is his daughter? Call his daughter." Master Lin and Master Jiang's age, their children have already grown up.
Mrs. Lin cried even harder, "Yonghui won't care about this. She has long since severed the father-daughter relationship with my husband."
Master Sun frowned, Lin Yonghui...
He pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'll call her."
Jin Mang raised his eyebrows. Master seems to know this Lin Yonghui?
At this time, Master Sun had already made the call. I don’t know what he said, but the call was hung up after a while.
Jin Mang thought the negotiation had failed, but Master Sun twitched his lips and said, "Lin Yonghui said that the 80 million she paid should be used to repay Lao Lin for his upbringing."
Mrs. Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Master Sun was speechless. You must know that Old Lin only has such a daughter. It was one thing to shout to sever ties before, but if he does it again this time...
Forget it, forget it, it has nothing to do with him.
Then, everyone began to discuss who would pay the ransom.
"The other party didn't ask for the two ladies to go, nor did they ask for how many people to go, so we can send police officers there to ensure the safety of Master Lin and Master Jiang as much as possible," Fang Jingke said.
Jin Mang said: "I'll go too. There's a high chance that the thug will appear nearby."
Fang Jingke thought for a while and said: "The people who went to pay the ransom are too conspicuous. You stay with the follow-up troops."
Jin Mang thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The trading place designated by the kidnappers was in a factory area, and Fang Jingke sent people to investigate early in the morning.
"At the beginning of the year, the industrial park was ordered to stop production due to insufficient rectification. Because the cost of rectification was too high, many manufacturers were considering relocation. However, the original owner of the factory refused to let people go easily and insisted that if they surrendered the lease, they would have to pay the rent.
The contract compensates for liquidated damages. The two sides are currently at a stalemate, so there are basically no people in the park there, so it is not difficult to clear the area." Feng Xueyi said.
Fang Jingke added: "We also need to carefully investigate the site to make sure there are no problems. Although it is very unlikely that the kidnapper's location is nearby, we still have to try to find it."
The criminal police brigade started to get busy, but Jin Mang had nothing to do, which was quite boring.
Out of boredom, she suddenly had the idea to go to the interrogation room to chat with Yu Yixin.
Yu Yixin's attitude towards her has always been very friendly. When he saw that she was hesitant to speak, he asked directly: "What do you want to ask me?"
Jin Mang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will it be very painful after suffering from bulimia?"
Yu Yixin was stunned for a moment and said: "It's hard to say. For people who can maintain three normal meals, the impact of bulimia should not be great. Anyway, they will not have memories when they develop the disease. However, if you suffer from bulimia like me,
It's not the case if you still can't eat after the disease. You should know how uncomfortable it is to be hungry, but people with bulimia can't even go hungry. When we are hungry, it seems like a group of ants are eating us quickly.
When I was extremely hungry, I would often lower my head and look at my belly to see if it had been eaten out."
Jin Mang was silent for a long time and then asked: "What would it be like to become a thug?"
Hearing this, Yu Yixin couldn't help but smile, "I know that there has always been debate about whether the thug is the same person or not. I don't know if the answer I gave is right. I can only say that I
I feel like I’m still me.”
"Of course, I still have changes. After becoming a thug, I became bloodthirsty, and my tolerance for hunger became worse and worse. In addition, my temperament... also had some changes."
"Being imprisoned for many years, I was very silent and timid. I was like a rabbit with a strong stress response. I would hide at the slightest sign of trouble. But after becoming a thug, I no longer have this fear.
Emotions, probably there is no such thing as empathy."
"Although I am not completely emotionless now, I am still very limited. I am probably... no different from a beast."
Jin Mang became even more silent.
Yu Yixin smiled instead and said: "Actually, you don't have to feel guilty about harvesting thugs. I have never been unwilling to be harvested. What I am unwilling to accept... is that I have no choice as a human being.
destiny."
"I should have grown up smoothly and lived as an ordinary person."
"When I was imprisoned, I also longed to live in the sunshine like an ordinary person, but when I became a thug and walked in the sunshine, I realized that something was wrong. That was not what I really wanted."
He looked at Jin Mang and said: "For me now, being harvested is actually a kind of relief. Otherwise... the hunger I feel now is really terrifying. If I hadn't been imprisoned, I probably wouldn't be able to bear it.
They live and eat people.”
Yu Yixin lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I am still me, but I have become a monster."
"My existence is harmful to the country and society, and it is natural for me to be harvested."
He looked at Jin Mang and said: "I heard the guards who were guarding us say before that people from the Ai country would voluntarily become thugs and be harvested. They said it with admiration and envy on their faces, but I had the same idea at the time, but when I became
When they were thugs, I just thought those people were stupid."
"Becoming a monster is not just an understatement. The pain does not even lie in the body, but in the soul."
"Think about it, you have lost the qualification to die as a human being."
"How pitiful, how sad?"
Jin Mang was silent, and Yu Yixin's voice was very soft and not exciting, but the sorrow and pain in it were so vivid that it made people feel pity.
"Thank you for telling me this." she said.
It is undeniable that she had indeed considered becoming a member of the Suicide Society in her old age to make her death worthwhile, but now...
She was thinking...if she died as a monster, would she be able to travel through time again?
