Chapter 61: Exploding Last Train (2/2)

They were too tired. Every day they were like the walking dead, condemning and torturing themselves. Countless passersbys extended hands of sympathy to them only to withdraw them. They said to mourn but the dead were gone. Let it go and life would continue. If they kept being sad then Guoguo would be sad when she saw it. Then they left after saying these things, as if the couple really would live a better life.

This support was fleeting while the couple tried again and again with hope in their hearts, hysterically shouting that people should pay the price for what they did. Their suffering left hideous traces on their bodies.

Xiang Chunhua was no longer the amiable Aunt Xiang and Liu Fu was no longer the honest Uncle Liu. They gradually became people that everyone was tired of. They didn’t want this but if they didn’t do it, who would remember poor Guoguo?

They had asked this question several times. Why Guoguo? They also numbly and viciously discussed why girls in the alley who were lovelier than Guoguo weren’t subjected to Li Gou’s murderous hands. How could the mothers of these girls pretend to be compassionate and comfort them by saying that if Guoguo survived the rape, the rest of her life would be very hard and she wouldn’t be able to get married. If she died then she might have an innocent life in her next life.

There were so many girls in the world who were pure, bright and naive. Before Guoguo’s incident, they loved all these girls who were as cute as their daughter. Then after Guoguo’s incident, they just wanted to ask—why not them? Why must it be Guoguo?

Why did Li Gou, this beast, choose their Guoguo?

Li Gou knelt on the ground, approaching Bai Liu on his knees only to be kicked away by Mu Sicheng. Li Gou was kicked and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Li Gou moved back slightly due to fear. His lips were trembling as he looked up at Bai Liu who had no emotional fluctuations on his face. Li Gou couldn’t help shedding tears. “Brother Bai, why do you have to choose me? Even if you don’t want to choose Liu Huai, you can still choose Fang Ke! Why do you have to choose me? Why choose me to die?”

Bai Liu calmly watched Li Gou. “You want to ask why? To put it more directly, I chose you to die because you are unlucky.”

He was unlucky enough to follow Puppet Zhang into this game where Bai Liu was present, unlucky enough to be Puppet Zhang’s puppet and unlucky that Puppet Zhang was completely controlled by Bai Liu.

“Still, if you insist on knowing the cause of death before you die, I can satisfy you.” Bai Liu’s expression was calm as he crouched down thoughtfully, staring at Li Gou who was extremely confused about why he was chosen.

Bai Liu whispered to him, “Do you remember Liu Guoguo?”

Li Gou heard the name ‘Liu Guoguo’ and he shivered like he had received an electric shock. He stared up at Bai Liu in a stunned manner.

Bai Liu’s eyes and tone were extremely calm. “If you have to look for a logical reason, it can be said—you chose Liu Guoguo so I choose you now. It is as simple as that.”

“How can…” Li Gou went completely limp. He sat with his ass and hands on the ground, his eyes out of focus. He stared at Bai Liu in a trance and muttered, “How can it be because of Liu Guoguo? She is dead.”

Li Gou might’ve been imprisoned because of her but Li Gou had long forgotten about this little girl who made him feel good all night. Apart from the fact that she made him feel good, later Guoguo was just a piece of flesh and blood in his memory. Li Gou never regarded Liu Guoguo as a person, girl or human being.

Yet the name that emerged from Bai Liu’s mouth brought Li Gou back to the night that caused him to suffer in prison. The bloody pieces of meat were pieced together in his memory. He recalled the real little girl with feelings and tears. She was desperate as she cried and screamed hard after being caught by him.

Li Gou had pressed the struggling Liu Guoguo under his body. He slapped the crying high school girl and told her not to scream with a grin. Liu Guoguo had begged him to spare her and cried for help in a broken manner. Liu Guoguo had stared up at Li Gou with blank eyes, dirty tears dried on her check as she asked Li Gou, ‘Why me?’

This question was exactly what Li Gou was desperately asking Bai Liu now.

Li Gou had just sneered, one hand holding down Liu Guoguo’s wrists while the other hand unbuttoned his pants. He licked his lips and answered, “You are unlucky, little beauty. I just watched some movies and was feeling overwhelmed.”

The female voice on the train’s broadcast was heard. “We are about to arrive at the next stop—Reservoir. Passengers on the train, please sit down. The passengers who want to get on the train are lined up outside the door. Let them get on first and get off later—”

Bai Liu’s gaze swept over all of them. “We are about to arrive. Li Gou will carry the bomb. Puppet Zhang, come and take the mirror. Mu Sicheng, protect me. The rest of you, find the broken lenses.”

“The train has arrived at the station, Reservoir. All passengers, please prepare to get on and off—”

Bai Liu whispered, “Start!”

The moment all the passengers poured onto the train, Li Gou moved uncontrollably out of the carriage. He was carrying a huge black bomb on his back as tears streamed down from his eyes. He was extremely scared as his hands and feet trembled. There were burning pieces of paper everywhere, flying through the subway station and drifting across Li Gou’s face from time to time. They burned the skin and flesh on his face but he wasn’t in control and couldn’t struggle. Rather, he took the initiative to go to the place where the fire was greater.

Li Gou carried the bomb and avoided the burning corpses on the platform. However, if he couldn’t avoid them then flames mercilessly burned his cheeks. He was in pain but unable to struggle. Through his tears, he shouted, “Bai Liu! I was wrong! I don’t dare do it! I’m sorry about Liu Guoguo! Let me go!!”

He cried sincerely, his vision blurred. “I shouldn’t have done that to her! I know I was wrong! Bai Liu, I beg you, let me go back! I don’t want to die! Let me go! Please!”

“If I get another chance, I will never do anything to her! I swear! If I do, I’ll die by a thousand cuts!!!”
