There was a sound of the door opening, and the next second, a woman with heavy makeup and a slightly exotic silhouette walked in.
This room has no windows and is covered with white walls. There is only a single bed and a coffee table in the corner.
The woman sitting cross-legged on the floor remained motionless, as if she had not heard the noise just now. The visitor also stopped to observe for a while, and saw that she was just sitting quietly with her eyes closed. Finally, he couldn't help but spoke first: "Maeve, you are calm."
Liu Mengwei finally opened her eyes. She looked weak and pale, especially against the backdrop of this high-spirited woman. Only her eyes still shone with stubborn pride. She managed a smile and said mockingly: "So, you can't hold your breath anymore."
"Whatever you say." She sat down on the chair next to the coffee table, crossed her legs, looked elegant and casual, and looked at Liu Mengwei condescendingly: "It's a pity that there is no mirror here, otherwise I would have let you take a good look. This is what you look like now."
Liu Mengwei raised her head, met her eyes, and said after a long time: "If you insist on defeating me, then you have achieved your goal and I have given up. What else do you want?"
"Admit defeat?" Alice laughed contemptuously: "Are you willing to admit defeat?" Her eyes revealed endless resentment: "I want you to lose completely and lose completely!"
"How dare I refuse to accept it?" Liu Mengwei said softly.
This is the third day she has been locked up here. For three days they provided little food except water, and even took away her coat, leaving her unable to sleep peacefully in a room with only a few degrees of temperature. All the mechanisms of her body have been activated in emergency mode in order to protect themselves, and she has no energy left to deal with the arrogant and domineering woman in front of her.
But her appearance was a different story in Alice's eyes.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me, I won't let you do this!" As she said this, she slowly knelt down and looked directly at Liu Mengwei: "Your appearance must have deceived many people, making them think you are A harmless little white rabbit believes in you, loves you, and is even willing to give you his heart."
"You overestimate me. I'm not interested in other people's hearts." Liu Mengwei looked at her coldly.
Alice clicked her tongue twice mockingly: "You can make people fascinated even if you don't have any interest. If you use some more tricks, wouldn't it turn the world upside down?"
Liu Mengwei turned away, unwilling to discuss this issue with her anymore. Paranoid people would regard other people's denial as a strengthening of their thoughts, and they would only become more and more extreme in the end.
Alice finally took the initiative and would not let her off easily. She said faintly: "So I will open another round for you."
Liu Mengwei looked at her warily.
"I have released Chen Yuting. After all, those police officers were not idlers. It only took an hour to find her. Now that we have found her, we should know what happened that night."
"What happened that night?" Liu Mengwei asked, "No one really died."
Hearing this, Alice suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she was out of breath, laughing so hard that Liu Mengwei couldn't help but feel weak in her heart.
Finally Alice stopped laughing: "By the way, you still don't know what a wonderful story happened that night."
…
When Liu Mengwei saw the white packaging bag in the back seat, she originally wanted to ignore it, but she also knew that there was no end to escape.
Even though she was well prepared, when she opened the tea box, she was so shocked that she almost threw the glass bottle out of the window. There was a person's finger soaked in it, and there was a ring on her finger that she was very familiar with.
This is a gorgeous and dazzling alexandrite cat's eye ring, with a golden-green gemstone in the center. A strip of blue light flashes in the center of the gemstone, which looks like a cat's deep and vivid pupils. This gem is surrounded by a circle of diamonds, making it look even more luxurious. Even if it were now attached to a dead man's finger and soaked in formalin solution, it could not hide its brilliance.
She arrived at Zhuoyu's studio, and the door was unlocked. She pushed the door open and entered without much hesitation. As soon as she arrived in the foyer, she noticed a person sitting in the darkness. When the person saw her coming, he also stood up.
"Long time no see, like a dream." Gypsy's makeup and clothes faded away, and she looked like just a young woman with a delicate face, even a dull young woman.
"Why are you here?"
This person was the woman who once dressed up as a fortune teller to interpret the cards for her, and also dressed up as a delivery boy to deliver the ring to her.
"Of course I'm waiting for you."
"What new identity do you have this time?"
The woman didn't care about her sarcasm and chuckled: "I have many identities, I can use whatever I need."
"Since you call me Rumeng, I will still call you Ruyue. What do you want to do by bringing me here today?"
"Please come and see a good show."
"I'm not interested." Liu Mengwei turned around and wanted to leave, but before she walked out of the door, she stopped - the night outside was like water, but the reality was not what it seemed on the surface, and there was an unknown power hidden in it. Moving around.
Seeing this, Ruyue made a gesture of invitation, and gave up her position, gesturing for her to come forward.
The door of the studio is made of glass, and about 1/4 of the room can be seen from the outside, but it is enough. Because she had already seen a man lying motionless at the foot of the work table in the center of the room. She didn't know whether he was dead or fainted.
There was another person sitting next to him, with her back to the door. No movement could be seen. She could only see her body trembling slightly. She seemed to be saying something, but because of the obstruction of the glass door, she could not hear it clearly.
That feeling came back again, the same feeling as when Yao Feipeng was taking a calligraphy test - unstable emotions were like intense and uncontrollable nuclear fusion inside a star, exploding with energy.
When stars die, some will undergo supernova explosions that rock the universe, while others will only dim silently and gently. The only thing they have in common is that this process is almost irreversible.
But even so, how could she stand by and watch what was happening in front of her?
"Stop her quickly!" Liu Mengwei said anxiously, trying to push open the door and rush in. But Ruyue had anticipated her move and held her hand tightly.
"Don't disturb them." Ruyue said softly.
"Do you know what she will do later?" Liu Mengwei glared at her.
But Ruyue just smiled calmly and said: "How can I know what has not happened?"
Liu Mengwei shook off her hand: "Come on, sir, what on earth does Alice want to do? Did she ask me here just to watch the live broadcast of the murder?"
"Although there are only two of us here, there are far more spectators watching this scene."
Liu Mengwei was a little surprised. He looked at the room and then at her: "Don't tell me that there are still people watching the situation here through the camera."
Ruyue shrugged, as if it were natural, and Liu Mengwei cursed lightly: "What a pervert."
"This is a normal and common curiosity of human beings. Miss Rumeng, you should understand this better than me." Ruyue looked at her with some teasing: "Otherwise, why are crime mystery novels so popular among the world? Hidden in the The dark side of everyone’s heart, their selfish desires, their desire to control everything, and their attempts at unknown psychology, should always have an outlet to vent, don’t you think?”
Liu Mengwei was too lazy to argue with her. He could only observe the movements in the room intently while thinking about countermeasures.
Ruyue continued: "Miss Alice recently likes to make bets with others, and this is her latest bet."
Liu Mengwei finally turned her head and questioned the meaning of these words with her eyes.
Ruyue replied: "Miss Alice played a game with several other regional leaders to see who could turn a good person into a bad person in the shortest time. Specifically,... how to make a person who was not originally People who mean no harm commit evil deeds.”
Ruyue's voice was soft and melodious, using the most inconspicuous adjectives, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
Liu Mengwei's pupils shrank, and his heart was shocked. But even though he was angry inside, he could only try to control the expression on his face. She knew that the more she lost control of her emotions, the more she fell into the hands of her enemies.
She took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "You guys are so boring."
"It's not up to you to say that everything is boring. Do you know how much attention this game has attracted? How popular it is?"
"I'm not interested in knowing, nor am I interested in being an audience with you."
"Then what do you want to do?" Ruyue asked, not looking surprised at all.
"I don't have to do anything, just let her know that someone else is present. I don't believe that she would dare to kill someone in this situation."
Unexpectedly, Ruyue still looked relaxed: "Didn't you notice? She can't hear us. Of course, I don't mean that she is deaf. There is nothing wrong with her ears, but even if she hears, she doesn't seem to hear. As if arriving."
Ruyue chuckled again: "This kind of situation is actually not uncommon. Occasionally, I will forget what I just heard in the blink of an eye. However, the symptoms of this person are more serious. This is probably what people do. As the saying goes, what goes in the left ear and goes out the right ear.”
Liu Mengwei put her hand on the doorknob again: "This is what you did!"
Ruyue took her arm again, with stern eyes: "Are you sure you really want to go in? Once you step through this door, you are truly in the game.".
Liu Meng bit her lip slightly, and finally looked at her angrily: "You didn't give me a choice at all, and now you're just pretending to ask me?"
"You can't stop her," Ruyue said from behind her: "The 'program' has been set into her brain. Even if you interrupt it this time, it is just pressing the pause button. There will always be a restart. .”
