It was just that Su Bai still had to take the shot.
He inhaled a deep breath. The little boy dressed in red right in front of him was part of the target Dreadful Radio had acknowledged. Su Bai could not show mercy, otherwise he would be considered to have failed the task.
The next moment, Su Bai lifted the gun in his hand, aimed at the red dressed boy who was skipping gleefully right in front of him.
The red dressed boy was stunned and stopped moving. The smile on his face had vanished. What appeared was puzzlement followed by rage. However, the moment Su Bai lifted his gun and aimed at him, he did not dare to make any sudden movements due to instinct.
Su Bai stuck his tongue out and licked his cracked lips.
This stalemate lasted for ten seconds. Su Bai did not pull the trigger and the boy stood right there for ten seconds.
Su Bai closed his eyes; he wanted to take a shot without any care but had a sudden feeling of helplessness.
‘Fck!’
Su Bai cursed himself deep within his heart. Since when did he become so soft-hearted?
Could it be that he had Stockholm syndrome[1]?
Su Bai wasn’t a good guy, he was well aware of this point. It wasn’t even related to being a good guy. The other party obviously had the chance to kill him earlier but gave up doing so.
This red-dressed boy felt that erotic asphyxiation was something very fun and Su Bai might have died due to going overboard. However, it was the most enjoyable thing in the world, that’s why he wanted him to experience it.
The other party…
Never thought of killing him.
As he gritted his teeth, Su Bai moved the tip of the gun away. Seeing that red dressed boy still standing there, he immediately scolded:
Get lost!
The red dressed boy hurriedly floated out of the washroom, stumbling as he escaped.
Su Bai placed both guns on the basin and turned on the tap. He splashed water on his face but it was not satisfying enough. He directly took off his clothes, found a hose used to clean the washroom and attached it to the tap, taking a bath with the company of two corpses.
After around half an hour, Su Bai who was dripping wet wore his pants and walked out of the building, his jacket was drooping on his shoulder.
Su Bai did not handle Huo Kun’s and that man’s corpse. Since it was a reality task, Dreadful Radio would handle the aftermath.
After entering his car, Su Bai started the engine.
Allowing the red-dressed boy to leave was indeed regrettable in this time’s reality task. Su Bai however did not feel that he would suffer much punishment of face dissatisfaction from Dreadful Radio’s side since there were still many ghosts like the red dressed boy in this world. The person Dreadful Radio truly wanted to finish off was that man who could combine viruses with metaphysics. Su Bai had killed him off and it was considered to have resolved the main part. By letting off the red dressed boy on purpose, the task was only half complete. It was impossible to obtain the care of Dreadful Radio in the next story world; at least it wouldn’t deliberately make it hard on him.
Whatever, since I am just passing by.
Su Bai was aware of that. Compared to Huo Kun who was now a corpse, he was considered much better.
As he drove away from the technology park, Su Bai was not in a rush to return.
The skies had started to slightly brighten, five in the morning, it was considered the beginning of a new day. Su Bai took up his phone and called Aroma. Aroma who obviously had not slept until now answered very quickly.
Su Bai, are you alright?
This was Aroma feeling concerned.
It’s alright, the task is almost complete. Where are you now?
Su Bai asked.
I’m at Aihua Hospital.
Is she also there?
Su Bai asked.
Aroma naturally understood who was that person he was pointing out. She replied after two seconds of silence,
She’s here, she just had a minor surgery. There isn’t any problem. Right now, she is on an IV, I am in her ward.
En, I’ll buy some breakfast and then come over to have a look.
Alright.
After half an hour of ending the call, Su Bai brought along two packs of breakfast to the ward, after finding out the room number, Su Bai pushed open the door. Ying Yinger was lying on the bed at this moment. Even though she was wearing a patient’s garment, she still looked charming. Aroma who had not slept the whole night looked exhausted.
Su Bai took out the breakfast, Aroma came over to help out. Ying Yinger had already awakened. She smiled at Su Bai as he walked over.
Thank you both, I will transfer the hospital fees to you all later.
Have something to eat first, I will hire a nurse for you later, we are leaving soon.
Su Bai said.
Alright, sorry to keep on inconveniencing the both of you.
Su Bai took a cup of soy milk and stood by the window. He did not really like the smell of hospital wards; the air by the window was better.
Is he dead?
Ying Yinger suddenly asked.
Su Bai nodded his head.
Ying Yinger remained expressionless. Seeing Su Bai admit it, she did not continue talking. She quietly ate her breakfast.
After Aroma returned from throwing the remains of the breakfast, Su Bai was already waiting at the room door.
Why aren’t you accompanying your little girlfriend longer?
Aroma spoke to Su Bai in a mocking tone.
Su Bai rolled his eyes at Aroma; he shook his car keys.
I’ll send you back,.
No need, my ride is picking me up.
Alright, then I’ll go back to check on the child.
Su Bai turned around and walked down the staircase.
Aroma placed the dustbin back into the ward and said to Ying Yinger,
The nurse will be over immediately, I’m leaving in a while.
Do you like him?
Ying Yinger suddenly asked.
This is not something you’re qualified to ask, you better rest well.
Aroma placed both her hands in her pocket and walked out of the ward.
Su Bai had already driven away from the hospital and directly headed home. At this moment, there was no notification about the next story world; this meant that he still had a short period to relax.
Of course, there were times when Dreadful Radio would pull you into the story world without any notice given. For example, the last time, he was directly sent inside while still lying on the bed. That time was because Dreadful Radio was on a hiatus for three months. That’s why there was no notice given. However, the majority of the audiences were aware of it.
His car had just returned to his housing district. Before Su Bai stepped down from his car, he saw through the car windscreen a black cat standing at the balcony. It was naturally Lucky.
Did the sun rise from the west today? It actually came out to welcome me.
Su Bai was feeling surprised. With Lucky’s aloof character, other than being attentive and considerate to the little fella, perhaps with an additional Litchi, it would never trY to get close to anybody on its own accord.
The next scene confirmed it. Lucky coming out at that moment was indeed not to welcome home Su Bai. It leaped over and headed to the back of Su Bai. The sound of the cat purring could be heard. Lucky’s aura burst forth and totally disappeared in a jiffy.
Su Bai who was sitting in his car felt a ghostly aura coming from his back seat, he immediately opened his door and walked out. Lucky was sitting on the car trunk swaying its tail, it then directly jumped down from the car and went back home.
Su Bai opened his car trunk, his car trunk was very clean because that car was not frequently used, hence there were not many things inside. However, there was a layer of dark colored traces in the trunk, it was as if someone had spilled some drinks in it and it even gave off a nauseating smell.
It was a ghost.
A ghost which had just been annihilated by Lucky!
Su Bai suddenly realized a problem at that moment, he indeed was at a disadvantage in this. If it was an ordinary person or even an audience following him and spying on him, he mighty still notice it, however, when it comes to ghost and spirits, it was the monk’s and Fatty’s specialty. He was indeed weak in this field.
The water stains slowly transformed into the silhouette of a little boy.
Su Bai’s pupils dilated, his fingers were trembling.
‘Damn it!’
‘He actually followed me home in secret.’
When thinking that if the red dressed boy was not found out and exterminated by Lucky, based on his character, he would actually find the little fella to have a game of erotic asphyxiation, Su Bai was fuming with anger.
The liquid started to evaporate, it slowly ascended and finally vanished.
Lucky had never held back to anything which could pose a threat to the little fella. Su Bai had no way to instruct this cat; seems like he could only wait until the little fella grew older before requesting for Lucky’s help through the little fella. However, he was thinking too far ahead, it would have been two years later by the time the little fella could walk and talk, it was still an unknown factor whether he could survive Dreadful Radio for two years.
Nothing good comes from being kind-hearted.
Su Bai mocked himself. He should not have been soft-hearted at that moment.
Perhaps, that was the difference between Su Bai and Fatty as well as the monk, Seven.
Soon however, Su Bai found a card placed in a crack of the trunk. Su Bai pulled the card out; it was an access card, the district and door number was written on it.
Su Bai took another glance at the pile of water stains which were evaporating.
He thought in disbelief:
‘Did this red dressed boy come over to pass that man’s house access card? Since there is medicine which could poison Huo Kun, there must be other good items in his nest.’
The scene of the red dressed boy hopping and skipping around appeared in Su Bai’s mind.
He suddenly felt that all of this…
Was a little ironic.
