"Do you do this job without fear of death?" Ji Xiao no longer had a crying tone, but his voice sounded somewhat resentful.
The visible haze gradually dissipated, and I slowly caught my breath.
"Yes."
"So you killed me, took the money, and have a clear conscience?" I turned my back to him, but it felt like I could still sense his piercing and cold gaze, like daggers at my back. Even though I always felt that what I did was justified, I still couldn't firmly tell him.
"I can't answer, but I will burn you a piece of clothing," I said seriously.
"So, you feel a little guilty and want to burn something for me?" His tone still carried some sadness. "When you used to kill people, you would do this, right?"
I hesitated, "Yes."
"Thank you," I almost instinctively turned my head, but there was no misty haze, and my pupils dilated greatly, clearly seeing his somewhat frail figure. I immediately turned my head back. I guess my face turned red to the roots of my ears.
He seemed to notice my amused reaction and said plaintively, "When you were dismembering me, didn't you see clearly?" His voice was very magnetic, as if it was grinding in my ear.
Big brother, at that time you were just a corpse...
And I didn't have to strip you naked before dismembering you.
I want to cry but have no tears. I sighed and sat with my back to him, legs crossed. "What do you need to do to leave?" He sighed softly, his voice full of sorrow. I imagine his eyes must be lonely at this moment.
"Do you hate me?" I asked, covering my mouth and nose.
"No, I don't hate you."
"Then why are you bothering me?" I said loudly, but I tried hard to restrain myself from turning my head. "Do you have someone to hate? Do you want revenge?"
He didn't speak.
"You tell me who you hate the most, and I'll go greet him another day. Can you stop bothering me all the time? Find another place to live, move into his dreams, and let him breathe in some haze..." I continued trying to persuade him, hoping he would leave me alone so I could get a good night's sleep.
He still didn't speak, and all I could hear was his slightly heavier breathing.
Ji Xiao's phone was destroyed by me long before he died completely.
The person who hired me to kill Ji Xiao had already prepared the cash two weeks ago, waiting for me to go and collect it now. The cash is said to be stored in a private bank, and I can retrieve it by using a certain agreed-upon code. After I received the two hundred thousand, there was also a note attached to the cash bag. "Thank you for saving a life. This is your reward. Have a pleasant journey."
A sentence without a beginning or an end. I didn't pay much attention to it, perhaps there was something unknown about Ji Xiao, and now that he's dead, it has brought relief to someone else. I took the money and went to another bank to deposit it into different accounts, then went to a small shop for a funeral to buy some paper clothes in proportion. I was also recommended to buy a few small houses when leaving, and I burned all of these for Ji Xiao.
Ji Xiao doesn't even have a tombstone, so I deliberately took a board and carved the name Ji Xiao on it, then casually stuck it into the ground. I burned paper clothes and houses in front of the board, and also offered wildflowers picked from the roadside.
Anyway, Ji Xiao is already dead and gone, and the whole world is his grave. He has left a part of himself everywhere.
Tonight I dreamed of Ji Xiao again, but this time he didn't cry. He was actually wearing that bright yellow paper outfit, which made his pale skin look even more like a dead person's. The house was still proportionally small, like a toy house. I thought to myself, when I have money, I'll have a big house custom-made for Ji Xiao. Thinking about this, I shivered. It's strange how I care so much about a dead person.
I killed him myself.
But Ji Xiao has never disappeared from my dreams.
