Li Yichen pursed his lips tightly and sat stiffly in the wheelchair, his arms hanging motionless by his side.
The cold secret room was originally dark, except for the monitors and workbench that were shining with bright lights. The smell of pine wood and moss 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. Hu Jiyao was shocked and stood up in a hurry to block him.
Along with the wind and light, dust also invaded. These tiny dust, almost invisible to the naked eye, flew with the stone chips and poured in along the light beam like scattered pearls.
There was a lot of dust, too much for Li Yichen to calculate. Tens of billions of dust formed a swaying band of light. Along with the muffled sound created by Luo Ye, it felt like it was the last moment of life and the God of Death was finally coming to claim his life.
——The light of dust is the sickle, and Luo Ye is the god of death.
Li Yichen has been fighting death since he was born. He thought he would not be afraid, but this situation made his five fingers open and close involuntarily.
——The wall of the secret room is made of extremely strong granite. Since Luo Ye can open a hole with one punch, it is definitely not a problem to rush in and kill him.
But there were only a few sounds of cleaning up the gravel from outside the wall. The stones were kicked away, making a dull and sudden sound, and then everything calmed down.
Hu Jiyao stood nervously in front of Li Yichen. She held her breath, trying to make Luo Ye think that there was no one here at all. But this was impossible. Luo Ye was not a casual person. He was extremely smart and cunning, like
Like a cheetah that never gives up until it achieves its goal, as long as it is targeted by him, it will only lead to death if it does not surrender. Hu Jiyao couldn't help but start to worry. She wondered whether Li Yichen's last act of using a bomb had angered Luo Ye, and they also
Is there any chance to shake hands and make peace?
"You two are not very polite. You didn't even answer my greetings." Luo Ye leaned his back against the wall and sat down calmly.
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, there is no point in just retreating and avoiding. Li Yichen thought for a while, opened his mouth a few times, and then softly uttered: "Hello, Luo Ye." This was the first time in his life that he talked to a plain man.
Talking to strangers.
"Ha," Luo Ye smiled. "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette? I'm covered in bruises now, and those damn cardiotonic pills are making every joint hurt so much." With that said, before Li Yichen could say anything, he took out his cigarette.
He took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it with a lighter. "But luckily I have a cardiotonic, otherwise I would have died from your spider toxin."
He took a puff of cigarette, let the smoke blow out from 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 talented opponent."
Li Yichen was silent for a while and said simply: "But you are not dead."
"Yes," Luo Ye blew out another smoke ring and said slightly sadly, "You are about to die."
Hu Jiyao's heart suddenly became entangled, "Mr. Luo——" If Luo Ye could be prevented from hurting Li Yichen, she was willing to put down all her self-esteem and beg him.
"Yao Yao!" Li Yichen raised his voice, "This is a conversation between the two of us. No matter what the outcome is, it is still a matter between the two of us."
Hu Jiyao's tears welled up in her eyes, she bit her lips and stopped talking.
Luo Ye laughed softly, "Miss Hu, you misunderstood me. In fact, there is no need for me to kill him, and he won't live for long. Although your plan is extremely clever, there are still many loopholes, such as
You didn't do a good job in handling the robbers or 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-term plan but a hasty execution."
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 saying slowly: "I had my blood tested a month ago. My body is dying, just like withered grass in winter, and there is no way to maintain it."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Hu Jiyao burst into tears.
"Sooner or later, the result will be like this. You and I should be mentally prepared." Li Yichen smiled bitterly, "That's why I advanced the plan. I thought that even if it couldn't be perfect, no one would see through it, but I didn't expect...
...Luo Ye, I have never admired others, but you are very worthy of my admiration. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Luo Ye flicked the ashes 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."
"But Lin Wanyu is the president of Dingxin Company, and the target of my revenge is also Dingxin Company——"
"You are wrong." Luo Ye pointedly pointed out: "You have chosen the wrong target. Dingxin Company is just a concrete building. What is the use of attacking a building?"
Not to be outdone, Li Yichen said: "I can make Dingxin Company fall apart."
"Stop talking nonsense, how many more days can you live?" Luo Ye said arrogantly: "With me here, 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, and the robbery is just to cover up 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 your experience is, as long as I want to kill you, it is just a knife.
"His tone was very relaxed and calm, as casually as if he was talking about whether today's meal was delicious.
"Then why don't you do it?" Li Yichen felt that his fingers were tense together, and clenching his fists would cause him great pain. But now only severe pain could calm him down.
Luo Ye reached out and took out the old manuscript and placed it at the hole in the wall that he had blasted open.
"What?" Li Yichen asked.
"I read your diary."
"Is that why?" Li Yichen wanted to laugh out loud, "I am no longer the person I was when I was a child. If you pity me -"
"I don't pity you." Luo Ye sighed, "I pity Li Yifeng and Hu Jiyao - you have changed, but they have not changed. No matter how much hardship you have suffered, they have suffered as much as you have suffered. From then on,
Physically, you may be the unluckiest person, but realistically, you are the luckiest person."
"Lucky?" Li Yichen sneered. "I am in pain every day, how can I be lucky?!"
"I once had a friend who was willing to give his entire life to me. He would give up everything for me, cut off his own flesh and feed it to me. He could endure the pain of tearing off his face, and he was willing to be my silent shadow——"
Luo Ye's expression dimmed, and the cigarette butts between his fingers burned his fingers, but he didn't care at all, "Only after he died did I understand what real pain is. Your own pain is nothing, because this
There are two people in the world who will sincerely accompany you in pain, unlike me, who will always be alone..."
Li Yichen fell silent.
"You only have a few days to live. Cherish them and at least keep your brightest smile in their memory before you die." Luo Ye said.
Hu Jiyao's tears overflowed and she covered her mouth with her hands to prevent her crying from coming out. Luo Ye expressed the grievances in her heart. She wanted to see Li Yichen's smile again, the smile that made her heart beat.
It has been hidden for too long.
Li Yichen said stubbornly: "Did you say this on purpose to protect Lin Wanyu and not want her to lose her position as president?"
"The Lin family has nothing to do with your father's feud. You know this very well. Otherwise, when your father stepped down, it would be 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 controlled by Fang Tianming. He spent more than ten years working hard in order to fully control the company. Even your father's resignation was due to his report - in other words
In other words, your target should not be Dingxin Company, but Fang Tianming and the mysterious force behind Fang Tianming."
Li Yichen suddenly laughed, "After all, you just want to use my power to deal with Fang Tianming?"
"No, there is one more thing." Luo Ye smiled softly and wiped out the cigarette butt with his fingers. "Do you really think that your disease is a genetic defect? Do you know that there is a poison that can also cause this effect?"
Li Yichen almost fell off his wheelchair, "No way! If it's poisoning, I can definitely detect it!"
Luo Ye grinned, "I admit that you are a genius, but you are still far behind the person who designed this toxin. Not only does his poison have no inherent flaws in humans, it is impossible to trace. I have seen your treatment.
Manuscript, you wrote in it that Dr. Liang uses the venom of the King of Spiders to prepare therapeutic potions every week. Every time you use the potion, you will feel very comfortable, as if you will be cured after just sleeping - "
"But it got worse after waking up." Li Yichen's lips couldn't help but tremble.
"That's right, 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 have been poisoned by a kind of poison that cannot be cured at all."
The poison can only be sustained by continuous poisoning."
Hu Jiyao interrupted eagerly: "If this is really the case, does that mean Yichen can still be saved?"
"I said, he is dead." Luo Ye said: "No one can cure that man's poison. Li Yichen has stopped taking the poison for so many years. His body is no longer good. You don't have to worry about something that is impossible."
It was a fluke."
"Who is he?" Li Yichen pinched his fingers together tightly, and blood slowly dripped from the gaps between his fingers.
Luo Ye paused, "No. 4 on the world's killer list, codenamed Poison Maker."
"We can find him," Hu Jiyao said anxiously: "We can pay any amount of money! As long as he can-"
"No, you can't see him."
"Why, why?"
"He has been dead a long time ago," Luo Ye smiled faintly, and softly uttered a few words: "Killed by me."...)
