Help, I've become a paper man

Chapter 353 Lies

The midday sun is warm, and with the breeze blowing, the day seems even more sunny. If you don’t look into the distance, you can ignore the scene on the other side, put the spreading darkness behind you, and then enjoy afternoon tea leisurely.

Just like what Song Yi is doing now.

He sat on a bench, looking at the square in front of him. His eyes were a little empty, but his hands did not stop moving, stuffing French fries into his mouth one by one.

This was sent by Xiaozhi, who said it was a reward for "covering the capture", but his mind was not on the food.

At this point, Zhigui had been avoiding him for several days, and had not shown up. Xiaoque was as mysterious as ever, and he could not find her either. He could only meet Xiaozhi, but...

Xiaozhi usually talks a lot, but when it comes to serious matters, he doesn't say a single word.

Song Yi couldn't get any information from either side, and he didn't know whether the person he caught was the one in the plan. If he and Xiao Que both caught nothing, and the really important person was let go because of his curiosity, he would be committing a serious crime.

"Ugh……"

Song Yi just imagined it and sighed. When he heard the footsteps, he didn't turn around to look. He just changed his posture and continued chewing French fries.

But the visitor spoke first: "You don't seem to be in a good mood, you look depressed."

Song Yi didn't answer, and the man sat next to him and asked:

"If you're bored, do you want to go out with me? I have something I want to show you."

Hearing this, Song Yi sighed again, put away the fries, clapped his hands, and turned to look over.

He said, "Wait a minute, it's like this, there are other things between us."

Ying Rushi smiled and said easily, "I think no matter which one it is, it is not as important as this moment. It is something you cannot miss."

Song Yi did not answer, but became alert. After staring at Ying Rushi for a few seconds, he simply stopped guessing and said directly:

"You voted no on my credibility, didn't you?"

Ying Rushi readily agreed and said, "Yes, I still don't believe you now. You grew up next to Yan Changyue, and everything you came into contact with was what he wanted you to see."

"If one day you become his knife as he wishes, you may very well do as he wishes and stab your own kind."

Song Yi slowly raised the corners of his lips, the smile stayed on his face, not spreading to his eyes, and said:

"Great, I didn't believe you either. You didn't like me, but for some reason, you approached me and invited me. In the dungeon, you seemed to be in a rush and didn't understand me, so you messed up."

"But in fact, you were acting for me on purpose, and you wanted us to know clearly that you were acting to push me away. So when I first saw Zhigui, my first reaction was to be on guard."

"How can there be any good people when they are with bad people?"

Song Yi chuckled, leaning forward slightly, closing the distance between them. He stared at Ying Rushi and asked:

"Even if this didn't happen, if you were given the chance, you would find a way to keep me away from Zhigui, but why?"

He didn't believe in such a thing as "jealousy". The category of love was vague, but "desire" was too easy to judge, especially when he realized that "Zhigui and Yan Changyue were of the same kind", he could easily guess that Zhigui and Ying Rushi seemed to be close, but there was no love involved at all.

Wanting him to leave could only be for another reason, but Ying Rushi hadn't said it before, and wasn't willing to say it now. After a moment of silence, Ying Rushi stood up and said:

"Come on, let's see the person who made you suspected."

This category is very broad and vague. Song Yi had some guesses, but he couldn't be sure for the moment. Just as Ying Rusui hoped, he followed and walked to the other side.

It was an area he had never been to. Contrary to his location, Song Yi had heard from others that weapons were produced here in the past, but later it was abandoned and few people came here usually.

It sounded like an unappreciated place, but as soon as Song Yi stepped into the area, he realized something was wrong. There was a lot of defensive force here. As soon as he appeared, he felt that he was being watched, and there was more than one person watching him.

Perhaps because Ying Ru was there, those people were just on guard and did not attack him. Even the presence of their gazes gradually weakened, but they did not disappear in the end.

"Where are you taking me?" Song Yi asked.

It’s not that he’s afraid. He dared to follow because he was prepared for a chance encounter and he wasn’t worried about his safety at all. He asked now out of pure curiosity.

They are cats after all.

Ying Rushi remained silent and did not let him get his wish, but at the next turn, she stopped and turned to look at Song Yi.

This is obviously the destination.

However, the three-story building was a stand-alone building with no houses around it, and it looked a bit shabby. They looked around outside the first-floor window, and saw only weeds and cement, a full sense of desolation.

Before Song Yi opened his mouth, he heard a voice coming from inside the room. It was Zhigui's voice, asking:

"He still won't confess?"

He shuddered inexplicably and looked at Ying Rushi. As they looked into each other's eyes, Ying Rushi smiled at the same time.

Separated by a wall, the voices inside were indistinct. A female voice said "No", and Zhigui's voice followed behind, saying simply:

"Okay, then I'll do it."

Outside the wall, Song Yi looked at Ying Rushi and felt an inexplicable chill. He frowned and walked forward, squeezed Ying Rushi aside, and looked into the room through the broken glass.

He saw Zhigui, who was standing in the middle of the room with a sullen face. Opposite Zhigui, there was a man tied to a chair, with blood on his body and cheeks, and his face was difficult to see clearly. It was obvious that he had been tortured.

On this basis, if there is no confession, then who knows...

Song Yi watched Zhigui lean forward with speculation, moving closer to the man. After getting close to a certain distance, Zhigui stretched out his hand and placed his palm on the man's back.

It was just a simple touch, but the person who was originally in a coma with his head down suddenly shuddered, raised his head and screamed, and began to twist his body, trying to break free from the restraints. He did not stop even when the rope scratched his skin.

Blood dripped onto the ground. Zhigui slowly lowered his head and asked something in a low voice, but all he got was screams. Zhigui was not discouraged and continued with his process. However, after dozens of seconds, he slowly withdrew his hand.

Song Yi watched everything, and after Zhigui stood up, he heard the other party say:

"It has nothing to do with Yan Changyue. This kid is simply evil. He knows about the monster diversion and wants to help Ling Zhi and humans, so he simply gave up the Stardust camp."

"As for Yan Changyue, I'm not targeting anyone. If I have to say anything, it's just that I didn't help anyone, and someone took advantage of the situation. The defense on Song Yi's side can be..."

When Zhigui said this, his tone slowed down, and he turned his head as if he had noticed something and looked out the window.

Their eyes met and touched in the air. Song Yi did not show any panic. Zhigui took two steps forward, raised his hand and then put it down, as if he wanted to explain something, but stopped halfway.

Song Yi looked at Zhigui and said, "You lied to me."

Similar actions, similar situations, but the difference between him and this person was that the pain Song Yi felt when Zhigui read his mind was lighter, at least he didn't cry out.

But the problem is...

"You read my mind. The information you know is not just what you said. That's just the surface. You can see more."
