Shaw DeBang, also known as Death-Defying, real name Roman Kran, has been arrested. That's the whole story. As for Xiao Hei Mei, due to her actions, she has faced criticism from many tenants. Everyone believes that she betrayed Shaw DeBang and caused him to be imprisoned.
She has been ostracized, ignored, and ridiculed, and eventually left Yi Hao Apartment with an unknown whereabouts.
From start to finish, Elisa spoke without any ambiguity, vividly and realistically. I felt like a child, completely captivated as if listening to a grown-up telling a story. I didn't say a word the whole time, not wanting to interrupt her flow. I didn't even realize that she had finished telling me the story she wanted to share. It's not that I didn't realize, but rather that I was thinking about something else... I was like a fool, silent and indifferent, until Alice called my name several times, and I realized that I was still alive, I was still okay!
I'm starting to feel scared, scared that I might end up in prison too!
"What's wrong with you? Your face is so pale, you have no color at all. Are you feeling unwell? Do you need my help?"
"I'm not feeling well, my stomach hurts a lot. I think we should go back!" I said, trying to get to the bottom of it.
"Fine then! Suit yourself! But I feel like you weren't very surprised about Shaw DeBang getting arrested, you seemed rather indifferent about it! Before this, I thought you two got along quite well!"
"I was indeed surprised by his situation, but then again, what help could I offer?"
"Yes, once you enter that place, it's very difficult to come out! I think if possible, I mean if you have the chance, you should go see him!" Elisa continued.
"I will!"
"We all think he's a good person, he's not that bad, he shouldn't go in!"
"Yes," I replied lightly.
Then, I parted ways with Elisa, and we each went to our own homes.
All the way, I couldn't believe that what Elisa said was true! I became increasingly worried about the murder of the old woman. I was afraid that I would be found out. So, I was extremely scared inside!
Even someone as cunning and calculating as Shaw DeBang can be caught by these police, so I must be even easier for them to handle in their eyes!
Also, will Shaw DeBang betray me? It is said that no one can keep silent in prison, and no one can escape the brutal torture methods inside.
The more I think, the more worried I become, and the more worried I am, the more afraid I feel! I never expected him to be such a formidable character, deceiving everyone and still having these people speak up for him. He's truly an impressive figure! But what's the point of being impressive if he's ended up in prison!
I've also started to ask myself, what did I really gain from committing the murder of the old woman? I didn't feel happy or joyful, instead I've been living in fear day and night, haunted by guilt!
I sat on the bed, staring blankly outside, wishing for someone who understands me to talk to.
At that moment, I thought of Taliesin, and I wanted to go to her room to see her. I instinctively walked into her room.
She is very quiet, sitting quietly in front of the dressing table, combing her long, black hair. When she sees me come in, she stops and runs into my arms! Maybe it's because I haven't visited her in the past few days, she's surprisingly well-behaved, not making any trouble at all. She takes my hand and pulls me to the edge of the bed, making me sit down, quietly looking at me as if waiting for me to say something to her. Looking into her big eyes, she is unexpectedly gentle today, as if we have returned to when we first met, and my tough heart seems to melt instantly. Tonight, I really want to chat with Taliesin, I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time.
She sits on the edge of the bed, and I kneel at her feet, my head resting on her bent thighs, warm and soft, my heart suddenly feels at ease. Calm as still water!
"We haven't chatted for a long time. What have you been busy with lately?" Taliesin asked me. Today she seemed like a normal person, which made me very happy, and I also felt interested in talking to her.
"Why are you so... today?"
"What's wrong with me? I just want you to accompany me and talk! Tell me what's been happening lately! I feel like I don't remember anything, like I've been sleeping for a long time. Darling, am I sick?"
"Oh, no, you're fine. It's just occasional mental disarray, nothing serious. I've arranged for regular check-ups with the doctor for you."
"Why do you look so bad? Do you have something on your mind, or did something happen?"
Her question caught me off guard, and I forgot that she was still a patient. I proudly recounted in detail how I had plotted to murder the old woman. As I had expected, she listened without any reaction, as if she had taken it in, yet also as if she hadn't! I know she is a patient, how could a patient understand me!
Talking and talking, she is still a patient!
As I got up to leave, she said, "I'm tired, I need to rest! You should rest early too!" I returned to my own bedroom, tossing and turning, still unable to fall asleep.
The next morning, I woke up and felt like there were a lot of people outside. When I went out, I found out that defendant had died. She had climbed onto the roof at night, wearing a white dress, and then jumped off.
I hurried to the crowd and saw her lying there quietly, covered with a white cloth. They said her face was too horrible to look at. I fainted on the spot.
When I woke up again, I was in the hospital, and there were two police officers waiting for me in the ward. They didn't give me any breathing room at all; they were ready to interrogate me at any time.
I am mentally exhausted and on the verge of collapse! I closed my eyes! Lord! Even though I am not a devout believer, please help me, what is happening to me! Is Taliesin's death also because of me? I am holding two lives in my hands right now!
In front of my eyes appeared the voice, smile, and appearance of Taliesin, bringing back the beautiful moments we once shared... Taliesin's death undoubtedly added to my inner guilt and made it even heavier.
She didn't leave me anything, but I found a note with beautiful handwriting while sorting through her clothes.
"Go to Surrender, don't be afraid. Even in death, I belong to you. My spirit will attach to you and stay with you."
