Chapter 15 (1/2)
“The first thing you said is ‘I’m not the smuggler.’ This sentence is saying ‘I’m not a stowaway like the person before me.’” The little girl was crying. She constantly shook her head and denied it. Tang Mo said, “In the current situation, there is no doubt that I am the least likely to be a stowaway, followed by him and then him.” Tang Mo pointed to Li Bin and Luo Fengcheng.
He looked up. “However, no one could be sure who is the stowaway. I might be the stowaway. But your first words admitted that the chef who spoke before you isn’t the stowaway. You know that he is definitely not the stowaway. This means you are the stowaway.”
The little girl trembled and wiped her tears. However, no one dared come near her to comfort her.
No matter how weak she looked, she was a killer.
Li Bin nodded. “Yes, I felt there was something wrong with your words. The things that happened in those three days, you remembered the clearest and you could also mention the specific time. You must’ve have made up a lie to be able to speak so smoothly.”
This was very obvious. Once Li Bin pointed it out, the three lost people suddenly realized.
“This is the case! You must be the stowaway! It is terrible.”
The little girl tried to argue. “I didn’t…” But after crying and saying a few words, she seemed to feel it was impossible for someone to believe her and gave up. She stopped talking and kept crying.
Tang Mo ignored the cook’s sigh. He asked, “Mr Luo, do you think this type of guess is correct?”
Luo Fengcheng had been standing to the side and not speaking. Now Tang Mo suddenly shifted the topic to him. “The person who is a stowaway, do we still need to guess? Putting aside other clues, these two points are enough to prove who is the stowaway. I am just curious…who did you kill?”
The group turned their eyes towards the young girl.
Tears continued to fall but the people’s fears didn’t disappear.
In a corner of the underground cave, the big mole was digging while whistling sharply. It pulled out a piece of bloody meat from somewhere and chewed on it while quietly looking at the seven people. The girl shook with fear and couldn’t shed her tears. She looked to Lin Qiao for help. The female university student was still soft-hearted and turned away in order to not look at the young girl.
After a long time, a hoarse voice was heard.
“You are all convinced I am the stowaway? Yes, I killed him but it isn’t murder!” The little girl lowered her head. No one would think she was the poor little girl crying just now. Her voice was as cold as iron. She suddenly raised her head, “How can it be murder? I gave him life. He shouldn’t have survived. He shouldn’t have!”
Her shrill voice echoed through the cave.
At this time, many people remembered. The little girl was very thin and small, but she was 15 years old. She was 15 years old and they couldn’t think she was a naive child because she was small. She was almost ready for adulthood.
Tang Mo frowned with surprise. The answer was completely contrary to his expectations. However, Luo Fengcheng spoke before he could. “You didn’t kill your parents?”
The little girl made a miserable and helpless expression. “How could I kill my parents? They were so good to me. I killed the bastard who should’ve never been born!”
The answer was clear. Even the not so bright chef understood it.
The little girl said coldly, “You said I was lying. In fact, I’m not a liar. Those words didn’t need to be made up. For the past three months, I lived this life. I was stupid and went to meet a friend in Wuhan. As a result, I got a big belly. He didn’t want me and I could only go home. Too long passed and the child couldn’t be destroyed. The doctor said that it was more than seven months and I couldn’t have an abortion. It was possible I would be unable to have a child later and my life could even be at risk. I didn’t want the child at all but my mother didn’t want me to regret it later. I also didn’t want to take the risk. The child would be raised by them. I just needed to give birth to the thing.”
The little girl raised her tear-stained face and looked at everyone present.
“I’m not as smart as you are and I’m not useful. I just wanted to live a good life. I was hospitalized three days ago. The next night, I gave birth to that thing.”
A light flashed in Tang Mo’s head.
In fact, there were two obvious loopholes in the girl’s words.
At one point, she said that her mother didn’t care about the black tower problem and helped her with homework after coming home from work. If her mother really wasn’t afraid of the black today and had time to worry about her daughter’s studies, why would she say ‘Don’t be afraid’ the next night? What was so scary about the black tower? This was a contradiction.
Tang Mo originally thought that the little girl had lied. Now it seemed that the ‘Don’t be afraid’ was about the childbirth. ‘No matter what happens in the future, don’t be afraid. As long as you are good, I’m fine.’ This was saying that as a mother, she would do her best to protect her child and prevent her child from falling into desperation.
The little girl’s expression was fierce but there was a trace of regret and reluctance in her eyes. She spoke firmly. “He was crying that night. I had insomnia and couldn’t hold back…I killed him. I covered his mouth with a pillow and he slowly stopped crying. I killed him but is it really killing? He is my child. I gave him life. Why can’t I take away his life? He shouldn’t even exist!”
Lin Qiao couldn’t help saying, “You gave him life. It was a mistake for you to have him and it is the fault of both you and the child’s father. It has nothing to do with him. No matter what you gave him, he was still qualified to live. You killed him!”
“He was going to ruin my life. I am 15 years old!” The little girl’s eyes were red and sad.
Tang Mo stated lightly, “He was just born.”
The little girl was stunned, silently lowering her head and not talking.
The truth wasn’t what Tang Mo thought. He originally thought the little girl had accidentally killed someone, most likely her parents. Due to her age and innocence, she had no sense of guilt. All her words were a lie. The truth was that the little girl deliberately killed someone and it was her child. She hated the child and wanted him to die. Even if she was exposed, she didn’t feel any guilt.
The cook rubbed his hands together excitedly. “Then we found the stowaway? We don’t have to die? The big mole wants us, not her.”
His words were a bit harsh, causing Li Bin to frown. “Well, she has admitted that she is a stowaway.”
Tang Mo asked, “What is your ability?” Like official players, stowaways had abilities. The little girl was caught by the big mole and almost eaten, yet she didn’t show her ability. Tang Mo thought about it. “Is it related to the flashlight?”
The little girl wiped the tears from her face. “You want to know my ability?”
It wasn’t just Tang Mo. Luo Fengcheng also said, “It should be related to the flashlight.”
The little girl clenched her fingers and suddenly uttered a strange laugh. “Yes, I am a stowaway and you will give me to the big mole. My mother is dead, my father is dead, I am going to die…you don’t want to live!”
In the blink of an eye, a huge match appeared in the little girl’s hand.
Perhaps it was because she just had a child. Despite the ability enhancing her physique, the little girl was still short and thin. The match was almost half her size. She waved the big match and ran towards the crowd. The first one she rushed to was the chef who just gloated about her death.
“I will kill you. If I have to die then you can’t live either!”
The group had previously seen the power of the big match.
After seeing the little girl pull the match out of thin air, everyone was startled. Tang Mo was so surprised that he couldn’t respond for a moment. This match looked exactly the same as Tang Mo’s match. If it was indeed Tang Mo’s match, this match had the power to push the big mole back two steps. They couldn’t compete with its power.
The cook didn’t know about the power of the match because he had been unconscious at the time. He saw the little girl rushing towards him and planned to catch the match with his hand before punching the little girl’s stomach. But his hand hadn’t even touched the little girl’s clothes when the match hit him on the head.
Bang!
