"Are you sure we want to get off here?"
I looked in shock at the wide river in front of the train.
Is he crazy?
Yesterday he made me jump from the car to the train.
You want me to jump off a train into a river today?
What the hell is he doing?
Extreme sports? Escape from the wilderness?
"No, no, never!
I shook my head desperately and said, "I'd rather sit until the terminal and get off."
"Whew, you'll have to wait."
"Three and a half more days from here to the terminal," he calculated, looking up at the sky as he wrapped his pistol in plastic bags to make it waterproof.
He winked slyly at me. "Good luck on a long journey."
”You!”
"What do you want to do?" I asked angrily.
"I want you to choose the first path with me and jump with me later." Don't hesitate, we don't have many chances."
Desperate and helpless, I looked again at the great river.
The train crosses
Lucius was always hard to hear, but he didn't lie to me.His shirt, obviously not very big, but when I wear it, the bottom of the shirt even nearly reached the middle of my thigh.Not only does it cover all my secret parts, but it covers all of my lower body.But the sleeves were a little too long and had to be rolled up a lot to expose the arms.I feel like I'm wearing a puffy dress.It was fun to walk with my body dangling under my big shirt.I spun around in satisfaction, thinking I could borrow Antoninus's shirt when I got home.They're both about the same size anyway.When I walked back to the river, Lucius looked at my new look for a moment, the color under my eyes deepened, and then exclaimed: "These legs are beautiful...""Hey! I quickly pulled the clothes down, giving him a warning glance.He shook himself with a laugh. "What's wrong? Is it wrong to praise you?""Thank you very much for your compli
I blushed slightly, quickly covered the collar, and then continued to use the cuff to help him wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth.He ducked sheepishly and said, "Thank you.""You're welcome."Lucius claps his hands and laughs: "Wow, what an emotional scene. But if you two don't mind, we must move on."And then he reached over and took off the guy's helmet and put it right on my headI looked back in shock. "What are you doing?""Borrow his bike, of course. Do you want me to carry you on my back?"'But it's a robbery!"It's called borrowing."Lucius bowed his head, raised his eyebrows at the young man on the ground, and asked, "Am I robbing you?"The young man clenched his lips and dared not speak angrily.Lucius spread out his arms in triumph. "You see, he didn't say anything himself.""But...""No more butting." Lucius waved the man's phone at me again. "Are you going to call Anton
I was frozen with fear at the sudden situation.The people in the bar became quiet.The room could only hear Lucius grilling his teeth and threatening: "If you touch her again, I swear your hand will appear in your stomach!""I'm sorry... I thought she was a prostitute...""Then you should go back and see your mother. Maybe she is!"Lucius is not sparing in his words.The man bowed his head and covered his face, gave him a sulky look, and did not dare to speak again.Lucius turned to me again, frowned and said, "Why are you still standing there? Come here!"I also frown, feeling a little unhappy, obviously I am the one who was touched, why did he blame me?I can't go there.Lucius was not angry; he looked down at the phone in my hand as if he had guessed something.He smiled. "You don't know Antoninus' number?""Yes." Now that he saw through it, I stopped hiding and asked him directly, "What's his nu
Lucius took away all the other balls, leaving only red and white on the table.I grabbed the cue and got down on the pool table like Lucius.But Lucius smiled when he saw me.He said to me in an annoying tone, "Thank you, but our table is already very clean. We don't need any more cleaning.""... What do you mean?""It means you need to stand back a little bit. If you don't move back, your breasts will collapse this table.""Lucius!” I complained, slightly red face back.He wants me to stand back. Why don't you just tell me?Why do you have to laugh at me like that?I took a step back with a cold snort, continued to aim for the white ball, waited for my breath to stabilize and then gently putted.A clear sound.The white ball hit the red ball with precision.The red ball sped forward and hit the table.Instead, the white ball, after the collision, bends back left and clangs into the pock
Of course I've made my decision.But I won't tell Lucius.I glanced at him and casually said, "I'll think about it."'Yes. Waiting for you."Then he went on to check his Mutu.I took a seat at the garage door and ate a roast duck and pizza snack from the bar owner while watching the crowd gather outside to sing and drink loudly.I don't know if it's a legitimate game tonight, but it's gonna be big.They even brought the band and some steel scaffolding to set up the stage, and the musicians were sitting around tuning.The remote bar suddenly became lively.But Lucius had no intention of joining them, and he still squatted quietly beside the car, tapping and checking carefully.It was the first time I had ever seen Lucius so devoted to anything.It turns out that he can also be like a normal person, and can also settle down and focus on doing one thing.He looks so different now that I kind of admire h
I covered my ears and looked at the cheering crowd.There are quite a few famous people here tonight.Except for a few familiar faces in the audience who often appear on the sports or music channels.And I saw someone I've always admired.The host of a nightly news show, Jason Nicholson.Half the reason I chose to major in media was because of him.It is a pity that I am not proficient in art, and now I have not only failed to get into his show group.Even the TV station has never been there, has been holed up in the Nightingale this small newspaper to work.I waved to him excitedly.He waved back at me, smiling, and then walked toward us. "Lucius! Ha ha, you're here. I couldn't believe it when they told me. Who is this?"Jason tilted his head and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if trying to remember who was in front of him.I tried to keep my excitement down and shook hands with Jason.She said, "Lil
"Lily, sit tight!”Lucius turned around and suddenly began to accelerate.I nervously grabbed the handrail and seat belt. "Is he the one who came after us that day?""No." He replied carelessly, pressed the gas and rushed out.However, the car behind us kept chasing.It didn't even turn on its headlights, like a prowling ghost or a black snake chasing its prey.I swallowed and the hairs on the back of my hands stood up.I hate feeling like I'm being targeted.I always feel that I have become the thing in the palm of that person, no matter how can not escape.I frowned in exasperation. "Can you get rid of him?""If you want ~"Lucius shifted again and the speed increased sharply.The car ejected almost exactly where it was.I felt like I was sitting on a land rocket, pushing the back feeling full, the chest like tens of thousands of pounds of rock, can not breathe.However, the car
Lucius stared at me, his brow creasing a little.He gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck Antoninus! Why do you always forget him?"I sneered and asked, "Why should I forget him?""Because I'm the one who's with you now!"Lucius began to walk restlessly back and forth again, growling through his teeth, "I saved you from Alex's house! I saved you from Marcus's lion farm! If it wasn't for me, you'd be gunned down! But what did Antoninus do for you? He can't do anything.""But he just saved us!"I also shouted at him, vicious and fierce: "But you never thought of thanking him!" And you knocked him off a cliff!"He rushed over angrily, looking ferocious. "I told you I didn't need his help!""Hah! You don't deserve his help!"I sneered and turned and walked up the hill.He bellowed a few times on the spot, Shouting, "Where are you going?""I'm going to save him.""Please! It's just a slope, not a cliff! He'll
Once the hype is over, it's time to start preparing for our roving pitch. The first presentation was downtown. It's where the last parade was. Only this time it wasn't Antoninus in armor on the stage, it was me. He didn't show up, so I, the president's personal secretary, had to deliver his campaign message instead. I don't know much about Antoninus' politics, but at least I know what he did, and I have something to say about it. I don't know if the advertisements all over the street played a role, and when I took the stage to preach, the audience came to be particularly large. I even saw a lot of professional reporters and cameras standing in the audience. Good flow of propaganda, actually made a press conference sense. The dark camera came over, and I panicked for a while. However, I was more disturbed by the questions they asked. "How do you and the president know each other?" 'What? I suspect I misheard. But then someone asked, "I hear you and the president have a son
"Boss, I might need a favor from you." I said."No problem, go ahead."I said, "Antoninus's campaign has been delayed for a while, and I was hoping you could help us out."'Of course you can!Blake grinned and patted me on the shoulder, but sure enough, he was looking down and rubbing his hands. "But... You know, Lily, we don't do this kind of propaganda at this paper. So I'm afraid I can't help you directly. How about I give you the contact information of some of my colleagues, and you go find them?"I knew this was gonna happen.I sighed and stepped aside.Lucius, who was behind me, stepped forward and expertly pressed Blake down on the table, sneering, "Repeat what you just said?"Blake's face turned white. "You... Who are you? Lily! How could you do that?! I'll call security in!"I gave him a faint glance. 'Bark.'"I... Help me! Get me someone now! Security guard!"Just as he spoke, the door was pushed
"Antoninus lost? What do you mean?" I asked him.Lucius replied vaguely, "The day you were taken by Roman, my duel with him ended." Four out of seven, I won.""Not two out of three?"lucius replied uncomfortably, "Never mind a few games, I won anyway.""Well," I said, "it's none of my business. It's just a game. I don't care if you win or lose.""You don't care about the result?""Of course not."A kid takes a game like that seriously!Lucius snorted, "That's what I thought."He stretched out and asked, "Do you have any food here? I'm a little hungry."He did not regard himself as a stranger at all, and had begun to dig in the refrigerator.Two people in a bunker suddenly burst into a dozen people, just preparing the ingredients can be exhausting.Fortunately, they were not idle, rushing to help wash vegetables and cut meat, almost pushed the table over.Even the meal was noisy.The fir
“Be careful!” I rushed to shield David behind me.Draw my gun.Aim.The dark figures gradually rose to their feet.They looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly shouted my name: "Lily?"This voice?Is it the Salamanders?I looked at the men in surprise as they came out of the shadows one by one.It was them.And the tall figure in the distance who was waving a crowbar to greet me was the bear."Why are you here?" I was pleasantly surprised.They were visibly agitated, too: "We're coming to save you.""But how did you find me?"I can't get any signal out of here.Did they call in satellite surveillance? Or infrared tracking?"No, no, none of that. The salamander vendor said, "We have the drawings, look at the coordinates and find it."The blueprints?I looked back at David. Didn't he say the drawings were gone?So, salamander, where did the
“What's that noise?”I instinctively stood still and looked warily into the cave.David smiled and explained, "Don't worry, it's just some... Music in the background. Surely a dark cave needs some monsters, doesn't it?" 'What do you mean? I looked at him in even more shock. "Don't tell me you've been genetically modifying animals."Could it be that the depths of the cave are visiting cages stacked with animals, and the cages are filled with mutated monsters with hideous faces?Judging by his uncle's crazy ideas, it's not impossible.But David waved his hand and denied my guess: "This is a shelter. Not an outdoor adventure park. How could I really put some monsters in here? You may rest assured that you are perfectly safe here. ""So what was that sound?""I don't know..." David scratched his head and looked puzzled, "These are all audio files I downl
I looked at Antoninus on the screen and asked anxiously, "Does he have a good chance of reelection?""I don't know."I looked back in doubt.With all this surveillance, it's kind of bullying for him to say he didn't know.But David doesn't seem to know.He raised an eyebrow innocently and explained, "Well, his approval ratings are very high and he should have a good shot at re-election.""But?"But he doesn't seem to be running anymore."'Why?I was surprised. "Where did you get that information?"I know all about Antoninus. How could a workaholic totalitarian like him give up the presidency?David was still clueless: "Maybe it's you?""Me?"I'm not sure. Well, that's certainly the case according to the surveillance results. He spends half his time at his desk working and half looking at your pictures.""Oh," he said.My heart beat faster, but my face pretended not to care, "Then
"How can this be..." I know I'm not tied tight.I seriously doubt he strangled his hands like that on purpose.Sure enough, he looked up at me innocently again, his blue blue eyes blinking and blinking."All right," I said, "I'll untie you, but you have to give me a gun!""I don't have a gun.""Do you expect me to believe that?"I don't think a guy with his paranoid, cautious personality wouldn't have a few guns stashed around here."Say it! Where is the gun?"He smiled brightly again: "Under your bed, the floor closest to the wall is pry up.""Very good."I looked where he said, and sure enough I found two pistols under the floor.With a weapon in my hand and some relief, I unseated him from his chair.He still looked at me with a big smile. "You're not afraid I have a gun somewhere else.""Not afraid. One is enough for me."Shoot him or shoot yourself, but I won't give him another cha
For the next few days, I just stayed in my room.I cooked for David every day, watched TV with him, and even chatted with him until late at night.Because I wanted him to let his guard down early, hoping he'd forget to close the door one time he left.But I really underestimated him.The man was indeed introverted and timid, but he was also sensitive and cautious, like a rabbit, a scheming rabbit with a soft exterior but a dark belly.He locked the door when he entered the room and made sure I was standing at least three metres away when he opened and closed the door.I think it's gonna take a few months before he's completely unwary of me.I can't afford to wait that long.I can't stand the fact that he provides me with everything I need to live here, like food, like clothes, including my underwear.I even had to give him my underwear to change.I'm really gonna go crazy if this keeps going on.Might as we
"Well..." I nodded, as Antoninus had told me.Tiberius did all he could to restore the glory of his family, even though it drove his wife away and killed his only daughter.David sees that my face is fine and continues: "Mr Tibeirus chooses a quicker way to have a baby as soon as possible. One that doesn't require much cooperation from the president." .I probably guessed what he was going to say, and I bowed my head and listened.David said: "His father found a surrogate for him. That's you, isn't it?""That's right." I freely admitted, "I did have a child with him.""Chris. That's the name, isn't it?"I heard him say Chris's name and raised my eyebrows at him. "He's just a kid! What are you investigating him for?""I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing my anger, David awkwardly began to wring his fingers, "I didn't mean to hurt him." I just feel sorry for you... I mean, innocent.""It's not something you should take on," he sa
