Chapter 161 Symphony of Revenge
"Do you still remember the economic crisis caused by the [proxy war]?" Xia Xiu stared at the ugly-looking Hughes Robin and said slowly.
Of course Hughes Robin still remembers the great economic crisis that occurred three years ago, which was the fuse that led him to fall into darkness.
“Three years ago, the conflict between the Oletin Empire and the Youyang Alliance reached an irreconcilable point. The westward expansion of the Far Eastern Empire continued to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the Youyang Alliance. As the contradictions deepened, As the situation continued to intensify, the situation finally took the barbaric path of war."
Xia Xiu spoke to Hughes who was staring closely at the photo.
[Proxy War], this is a high-intensity war that has not ended yet. The sixteen small countries of Vaxak, located between the Oletin Empire and the Central Alliance, were forced to be involved in the struggle between the two superpowers. .
In order to cope with Oletin's westward expansion, sixteen countries formed the Oaxak Alliance, and Youyang stood behind it to provide military support to the Oakak Alliance; the Oletin Empire issued a [land reclamation order] ] Let the [Mobile City] lords under his command free their hands and feet to open up wasteland, and the area to be opened up is the Wahak region.
The two sides have not openly fought each other, so this war is just a war between [agents]. Of course, the civilians do not know much about the inside story.
They will not know about Oletin’s terrifying [Mobile City], nor will they know that the technical conflict between Diva and Edici is caused by extraordinary technology. They can know only one thing - they There is a war in neighboring countries, which is interesting to talk about.
What is embarrassing is that as Youyang continues to allocate funds to the Wahak Alliance, their own finances are also in deficit, while the Daevite Empire in the north and the Edici Federation in the far west The trade war has aggravated Youyang's economic crisis. In addition, affected by the situation in the Oaxak region, Youyang's economic losses have reached more than 800 billion a year.
"A large number of companies went bankrupt, layoffs were laid off, workers were unemployed in large numbers, and the economy suffered serious losses. At that time, you and your wife were living in a very tight life, no, it should be said that they were living in embarrassment." The voice-over tone of the blond young man made Xio Si thought of that period of time that he had always wanted to forget.
The salary offered by the streetcar company where Hughes worked at the time could no longer afford the entire family.
At that time, bread worth 10 cents could be purchased for 5 pounds, and the money he spent eating was only 10 cents. However, the waiters in the bakery were always clumsy and cut out more than 5 pounds of bread. pound, she would always say 'Sir, you wouldn't mind an extra two cents'.
Hughes was frightened when he thought that he might also give two cents more, and he could only admit that he could not afford it. The next time he went to the bakery, he would have to hesitate. I hesitated for several hours before I dared to go in.
He went to the fruit and vegetable store and bought a kilogram of potatoes for one central coin. But one of the coins in the pile was missing a dime, and the clerk refused to take it. He had no choice but to leave the store in despair, with no shame to go back in again.
Hughes realized what hunger is. At first, you will feel a siphoning hole in your abdomen. At that time, you will feel weak. After a while, you will feel your knees starting to weaken due to hunger.
Only when you are hungry can you experience the dilemma of weak knees.
In order not to starve, Hughes would start selling everything around him, starting with clothes. The hat he bought for more than 20 yuan was almost brand new and was only worth 5 yuan when sold. coins, and a pair of good shoes is only worth 10 central coins, and a shirt is only worth one central coin.
Poverty weighed down Hughes so much that he couldn't hold his head up, and in such a bad time, the rent was even more like a candle that cost his life. He could only watch the candle keep burning, and there was really nothing he could do.
At this time, his wife would always comfort him. She would say that if he works harder, maybe things will get better soon.
No, it won't get better.
Hughes always rebutted his wife angrily.
Poverty is not a depression, which cannot be climbed out through hard work; poverty is an abyss, which will not fall to the ground until death.
The wife will always give in gently at this time, but this will only make him more irritable.
Hughes Robin always believed that he was extraordinary. He was like most arrogant and stupid people.
Hughes wears a mask on the outside. On the outside, he is a kind-hearted and helpful poor clerk, but at the same time, there is another mask buried deep in his heart. That is a person with a gloomy, withdrawn, and sometimes Even indifferent and insensitive to the point of being an inhuman beast mask.
Triggering this mask requires an opportunity. A barren life is the trigger, and the fuse is the photo in front of me.
The photo shows a woman with heavy makeup wearing a black dress. The woman’s dress is too revealing. The woman is only in her early twenties.
“Jenny Aviva, a poor person at the end of Swallow Lane, there is an underground kiln specially used for peach trading, most of the “commodities” in it are from unmanned farmers. Girls, they were sold there by their parents. "
The raindrops were dripping down outside the rain shelter, and an icy chill filled the entire pavilion. The blond young man narrowed his eyes slightly. , his words continued.
"It wasn't until a year ago that the Stockholm police took it away, and most of the girls inside were unconscious because of inhuman torture."
Hughes Robin stared at that kind of photo. .
Yes, the end of Swallow Alley, that is the place that inspired his inner beast.
Hughes still remembers the day when he was dragged by a skinny old woman to the entrance of a narrow and remote alley, where only a gas street light was still on at the end of the alley. The cracks between the stones were stained with black mud, and next to them was the high wall of a convent.
The old woman stared at her briefcase like a vulture, where she kept her newly paid salary.
"200 central coins, sir. As long as 200 central coins, you can go down to the cellar inside and do whatever you want. I can't see anything, hear nothing, and know nothing. You can do whatever you want, you know. You can do whatever you want.”
At that time, Hughes accidentally handed over 200 central coins to the old woman, and then he walked into the underground passage in a daze. It was dark. Only a kerosene lamp illuminated a small area of a plaster wall. The rest of the place seemed even darker. Apart from that, he could see nothing and smelled only the smell of rats and dust.
Hughes was taken into a bedroom, a spacious and gorgeous bedroom, painted pink from ceiling to floor, and his vision was eroded by this ambiguous and confusing color.
The ambiguous pink color is everywhere, tempting, but making people feel unreal. The pink color is so heavy and suffocating, it seems like the light is shining from a glass bowl filled with blood.
There was a large square bed in the corner of the bedroom. The quilt was also pink. There was a girl lying on it, wearing a white velvet skirt. When she saw Hughes coming in, she huddled up and thought Hide your knees under the short skirt.
"Guest, you just need to remember not to break her. We will do whatever else you want." After saying this, the old woman left.
Hughes swallowed and walked forward slowly, and then the pace became faster and faster. He stepped to the bedside in one step. The girl subconsciously screamed in fear, and the other party wanted to avoid him. But he grabbed her throat with bulging veins. She struggled desperately and began to beg loudly for mercy, but he pinched her tightly, pulled her head back, and looked down at her face.
Fearful and desperate.
Violence - this is called violence!
That trembling feeling, half of fear and the other half of joy, flowed through Hughes's body at that time, because he could vent his unhappiness, have the power to be superior to others, and could control others. Everything in the world is never troublesome, it is exciting and refreshing and "guilt-free"! ! !
Hughes went wild at that moment.
How poor and disappointing is human happiness!
A second of ecstasy made Hughes Robin so intoxicated. He loved this feeling.
"For the bastards at Yanzi Alley, those girls are precious "commodities". If anyone wants to kill them, there are only two ways to do it - either be poured into cement and sink into the sea. Or pay a high fee." The cold words woke Hughes Robin out of his trance, and he saw the blond young man continue to take out documents one after another and put them in front of him.
These documents were specially obtained by Xia Xiu from the Stockholm Police Station. They contained a list of black transactions at Yanzi Alley.
“Hughes Robin, it was you who killed Jenny Aviva, and the Mr. K in the list of 1,000 central currency damages paid by Mr. K is you. What’s interesting is that here There is another list on the same date and within the same time period. This is a loan shark contract, and the name signed on it is none other than Hughes Robin."
The blond young man continued with a sneer on his face. Pointing to the loan in the usury contract: 20,000.
“You actually chose to borrow a total of 20,000 yuan from those bastards at usury, and the more interesting things will come later.”
Xia Xiu took out the money he had withdrawn from different insurance companies. The information was placed one by one in front of Hughes Robin, who looked gloomy.
"You chose to use this money to buy multiple high-value personal accident insurance policies, or buy them in the name of your wife."
Looking at Hughes, who clenched his fists and showed a ferocious look like a beast. Robin, the blond young man continued to take out the report he had received from the hospital unhurriedly.
“This is Ms. Lina’s medical record after you bought insurance for your wife.”
“In the first month, she had a high fever that wouldn’t go away, but you said you couldn’t afford it. On the grounds of medical expenses, your wife’s request to go to the hospital was rejected; but your wife was lucky. One of her friends happened to visit your home while you were away at work. After discovering Ms. Lina’s condition, the friend immediately took her to the hospital. Send him to the hospital for treatment.”
“You were also scolded by that friend, so for the sake of your reputation, you didn’t dare to do such weird behavior again, so you used the following methods. It became secretive.”
"Look, after this, your wife suddenly got diarrhea again. Among the three diarrhea, two were extremely mild and did not require much rest, but one was more or less serious, and she seemed to have been lying down for a day or two. "
"However, you also know that your wife is not a fool. Frequent illness will arouse her suspicion, so you think of a wonderful and good way."
< br>Xia Xiu once again took out the engineering report he had received from the rail bus company and placed it on the bench in front of Hughes.
“At that time, the Stockholm government allocated a fund for track repair and reconstruction to the tram company, which was used to repair old tracks. Primo, the head of the company at the time, used his position to So he enriched his own pocket and embezzled part of the money."
"Primo is a veteran, and he is an expert in cutting corners. In his expectation, even if he embezzles part of the money, it will be enough to repair a car. A relatively safe track.”
"As an employee of the track company, you were quickly aware of Primo's irregularities, and therefore you came up with a way to kill without soiling your own hands. You chose to kill on line 101 where your wife often works. There were some tricks on the track."
"In order to clear up the responsibility after the accident, you chose to resign after making sure that your tricks would not be discovered."
"On the track. After doing the trick, you still have to avoid a situation. "
"In the event of a public rail collision, death is not guaranteed. The most unlucky situation is just serious injuries, and there are no serious injuries. It will definitely kill you, so in order to ensure that your wife does die, you should always advise your wife to sit in the front of the bus."
"Or I should say, you should. He often recounted the benefits of sitting in the front row to her many times based on his experience working in a rail company, such as avoiding infection and having less vibration in the front row.”
"There is an effect in psychology called: anchor."
"It is a conditioned reflex produced by the link between a certain mood in a person's heart and a certain action or expression of behavior. If there is an inducement By constantly intervening in this state, you can unknowingly implant a heart anchor into others."
"Thirty-one times, your wife has taken the rail bus thirty times, and. On the thirty-first time, your wife died under your expectation."
"Find out various dangers from all aspects, and superimpose countless accidents on others. , your wife eventually died due to this superimposed accident. In fact, from the time you planned to kill your wife, this accident became inevitable. "
Hughes Robin An Jingjing. After listening to the blond young man's argument, his eyes had changed from the original panic, fierceness, and uncertainty back to the original calm. He sneered and said to the other person:
"These are just your subjective conjectures. It's useless if you hand them over to the judge. Even if the court is willing to accept the case, how much time will it take in the meantime!"
Hughes Robin is arrogant. He opened his arms and stared mockingly at the blond young man in front of him.
Facing the arrogant Hughes, the golden eyes of the blond young man began to stand up, and his bright eyes like snake eyes stared at him with contempt.
"Zarp, when the law cannot bring justice to the parties involved, private revenge is legitimate and even noble from this moment on."
Dong dong dong——
Unspeakable fear engulfed Hughes Robin. His body began to tremble uncontrollably, his stomach spasmed due to the intense fear, and his muscles began to twitch continuously.
"Mr. Henry, I'll leave this to you." The blond young man pressed his hat and walked outside.
"Thank you."
Old Henry stood up. He had been sitting in the corner of the rain shelter, but Xia Xiu's [Weakened Presence] Mimu Su shrouded the On his body, that's why he was not discovered by Hughes.
Old Henry came to Hughes who could not move. He expressionlessly took off the watch from his left hand and handed it to his right hand. Then he made a fist with his right hand, and the outer shell of the watch wrapped around his fist.
"My name is Henry, and Lena is my daughter."
Bang——
This is the sound of hard objects colliding.
His fists filled with overwhelming hatred kept swinging at Hughes Robin.
Eye orbit, bridge of nose, skull········
The violent beating sound accompanied by the rain outside performed a gorgeous symphony of revenge.
