Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene
Chapter 24: The True and False Jinli’s High School Bully (23)
The lights in the interrogation room were always cold white, illuminating the uneven concrete walls coldly.
According to the procedure, Wu Qing should not be detained here now, but since he had offended Shen Jin, his lawyer arranged for him to be temporarily detained on appropriate charges.
The silver shackles rattled. Wu Qing had no idea what imprisonment was like; the only drawback was that he couldn't drink.
A brain paralyzed by alcohol will only become more dizzy even if it becomes clear for a short time.
Otherwise, why could he see his shadow getting longer and longer?
Shadows emerged from under his feet and continued to spread until they covered the entire ceiling.
He once lit a candle when the power was out, and the shadow it cast when it was first lit was like this.
My head hurts even more.
Wu Qing pounded his temples cruelly, muttering, "Where's my wine?"
The knocking continued heavy.
Boom, boom, the sounds seem to ring at the tip of my heart.
He was floating in mid-air, observing his own body from a third-person perspective. A withered, frail middle-aged man, his skin still swollen from alcohol, his features constantly oozing fluid as he struck.
One drop, two drops.
Wu Qing smelled the aroma of wine in the splashing droplets.
He tried to bend over, to lie on the ground and lick up the wasted nectar.
But he could only tilt his head back and stare at the shadow on the ceiling in a strange posture.
The shadow grew thicker and darker, like flowing liquid.
Did he move?
Wu Qing is not sure.
But he saw the shadow move.
Wu Qing shuddered. He had been thrown onto the beach because of his alcoholism. It was a starless, moonless night. The sea was pitch black, surging and churning. In a second, he would be swallowed up.
Like now.
Wu Qing's hair stood on end. Run! I want to get out of here!
This was his only thought.
But he felt inexplicably at ease again. The thought only lasted a few seconds before he relaxed his body again, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.
The aroma of wine is felt, and the tip of the tongue is slightly exposed.
Wu Qing suddenly thought of what happened that night. It was such a distant memory.
He lay on the beach, expecting his body to be swept away, swallowed up, and then dissipated into the sea, without a sound.
But suddenly, he heard a child's cry. It was faint, but it drowned out all the waves.
The thing Wu Qing regretted most in his life was picking up this child.
"What happened to the child?"
He tried to remember.
I couldn't help but think of Meng Yu. His wife was just an ordinary cashier back then, her eyes and heart clear as she passed the money. Unlike now, she never leaves her cards.
Why is this happening?
He seemed confused and began to think.
Unfortunately, the shadows grew thicker, and the aroma of wine spread even more. Those who committed serious crimes need no mercy.
The maggots of darkness cannot see the light.
Shen Jin sighed, reached out his hand, and cruelly tore the black shadow apart.
呲la.
It's the sound of flesh separating from skin.
It was brutal and painful, with no regard for the feelings of the person involved.
Wu Qing rolled and curled up on the ground in pain.
"Wine! Wine!"
The more painful it is, the more dependent you become.
Unfortunately, as the shadows were torn apart and light mercilessly enveloped the room, the aroma of the wine he relied on was dissipating.
If it disappears directly, the reluctance will not be so strong.
But Shen Jin seemed to be teasing him. The aroma of the wine became bait for fishing.
Wu Qing felt that he could hold on to it, but in reality, it would only slip through his fingertips, swirl around and leave a scent under his nose before dissipating mercilessly.
Shen Jin snapped his fingers.
So, Wu Qing, who was kneeling, appeared in a gray space.
"Are you wrong?"
Shen Jin wasn't asking this question to absolve him, and of course, she wouldn't pursue any responsibility. Wu Qing's consequences had nothing to do with her. But since he was also a parasite of Gluttony, she needed to make a basic assessment of Wu Qing's level of contamination.
The same judgment happened to Meng Yu. In the shadows, she resolutely threw the baby in her arms and rushed towards the pile of chips on the gambling table.
Even if he lost everything, he still had a strange smile on his face, almost like a fool.
After a frenetic diet, there's a phase of food obsession, where you can't control your eating even when you're full or vomiting—this is binge eating.
Chasing after the one thing that brings them happiness, and then finding only pleasure in it, unable to control it. This is what humanity is like after being invaded and contaminated by "gluttony."
As a result, Wu Qing only knew how to drink, and Meng Yu only knew how to gamble. Nothing else would reap any rewards for them. The emotional and spiritual satisfaction they needed could only come from alcohol and gambling.
Is binge eating difficult to control?
Shen Jin shook his head.
Then, the scene changed, showing two other rooms also shrouded in shadows.
Wu Xi and Gu Xue. These two destined protagonists, as children who were placed with great hope when the world first opened up, were naturally the main targets of gluttony.
The impact of "gluttony" on them is a thousand times greater than that on Wu Qing and the others.
Gu Xue is bloodthirsty and addicted to knives. Under the influence of gluttony, she will exploit the power and prestige of the Gu family and become an outlaw.
However, Miss Gu simply held the knife and cut each cake into the same size. Unable to control herself any longer, she went to buy some live carnivorous animals, which she could then dissect and cook for her family.
After seeing this, Shen Jin couldn't help but want to pat her on the shoulder and praise her for being wonderful.
As for Wu Xi, she grew up in this environment and was a prime target for gluttony. She was a blank slate, but as soon as she reached out for her father's bottle of wine or her mother's card table, she would be devoured in an instant.
But Wu Xi didn't. She carefully locked her room and built a wall of books to isolate herself from it.
Both of them could have lived a good life.
Suddenly exposed for her brutal behavior, Gu Xue was deemed a cold-blooded villain and expelled from the Gu family. Meanwhile, Wu Xi was adopted by the Gu family and placed high hopes on them. But she was a young girl whose hands would tremble with nervousness even when she was huddled in a doll costume.
The heavy burden almost crushed her completely.
Without Gu Xue's support in the wealthy family, every step Wu Xi takes is like walking on thin ice.
"So, why did you come out and ruin the plot?"
A flash of crimson flashed across Shen Jin's eyes, but it was enough. In just a moment, Gluttony revealed its true form. A black and red ball knelt before Shen Jin.
It should be lying down, although I can't see the front or the back clearly.
The ball was shaking. It was afraid, it was begging for mercy. If it had known in advance that this was this master's hunting ground, it would have starved to death and dissipated into ash without daring to enter!
