Chapter 16: The First World (16)
Ji Mo reacted to what he had done. The scene was just witnessed by Dr. Chu, and she became a little awkward.
Now, how should she save her weak and pitiful image? In the future, if Dr. Chu planned to go to the killers in the dead of night, could she still use the alibi of being scared, and needing the other party to sleep with her?
Pei! She now knows that this side mission was all bullshit.
If the person you like said to you that she was very scared, and wanted you to come over and accompany her to sleep in the middle of the night, wouldnât it sound ambiguous?
She canât whitewash!
Ji Mo looked at Chu Weiâs confused expression, squeezed her thigh using all her strength, and held back the tears spilling out of her eyes to look pitiful and scared, âDr. Chu, who is this man? I witnessed him attacking this young girl, and Iâm afraid sheâll be injured just like what happened to me.â
So, she must make Dr. Chu believes that she only did it because she had such an encounter, and it was not because she was not scared, but did it out of instinct when she felt something wrong.
Yes, it was that misogynist murdererâs fault that she did it.
She was frightened all by it! Very scared! Her body was shaking with fear!
To prove that her scared expression was not false, Ji Mo approached Chu Wei from the side and held her arm. At this time, she completely forgot that just a moment ago, she was still complaining about the fact that the side mission forced her to be ambiguous.
Anyway, the most important thing right now was to restore her weak, helpless, and pitiful image.
âXiao Ji, is it really you?â
âItâs me.â Ji Mo wrapped her arms around Chu Weiâs arm, having a terrified look on her face.
It looked like she was still the same, Chu Wei thought inside. Although she was still baffled as to whether her eyes were blurry just now.
âThen put your hands on me. Iâll call the police first, and let them handle the situation here.â
âAlright.â Ji Mo continued to wrap her arms around Chu Wei in a well-behaved manner. Her eyes lowered, and she subconsciously looked at the man lying on the ground.
With his back against the ground, the manâs hands were positioned on his back. Chu Wei took out the manâs belt and tied his hands. Looking at the figure of the man, Ji Mo knew that he was Du Libing.
She recalled the information sent to her by the system. Du Libing was the main culprit behind the serial murder case, and him coming to this alley to do bad things again was not surprising.
She initially thought that after failing to capture her, Du Libing would hate her and would look for chances to get revenge on her. If the revenge failed, she still thought that he would not change his target.
However, from the looks of it, it was clear that she was still ignorant about the thinking process of perverts.
It didnât take long for the police to arrive, and the people involved at the scene were escorted to the police station to give statements.
It was not until the night turned late that Ji Mo and Chu Wei went back to the community.
Chu Wei was observing Ji Mo on the way back home. When she saw that her scared expression didnât look fake, Chu Wei turned confused by what she had seen just now.
âXiao Ji, why did you go alone in the middle of the night?â Chu Wei became a little angry thinking of the possible dangers that might happen to her.
Ji Moâs mind was in disarray. She couldnât say that she went out to follow her and keep watch of her in case she do some bad things, right?
How to explain?
When Chu Wei saw Ji Moâs expression turn a little unpleasant, coupled with the pitiful look on her still pale face, her voice softened, âAre you still thinking about Du Libing? Xiao Ji, you donât need to be afraid, I wonât give Du Libing a chance to harm you.â
Although Du Libing turned his attention to another target, it didnât mean that he wasnât a treat to Xiao Ji anymore. This person must be erased from this world.
As if feeling the increasingly murderous intent coming from Chu Weiâs body, Ji Mo panicked even more.
It was clear that Dr. Chu didnât have that kind of intense murderous intent around her body when Du Libing tried to commit crimes just now, and she even called the police to handle the case, so whatâs going on?
Maybe it was because the more Chu Wei thought of it, the more uncomfortable she became, causing her to have an urge to take Du Libingâs life? Though she also had the urge to kill that man with her own hands.
âXiao Ji, donât go out alone at night in the future.â Chu Wei knitted her eyebrows and put her hand on Ji Moâs cold forehead. She looked at her eyes and it was clear that it resembled a frightened rabbit, so how could those cold eyes just now be on Xiao Ji?
âDo you have the habit of sleepwalking before?â Chu Wei inquired.
Ji Mo was taken aback for a while, sleepwalking. Sleepwalking?
Dr. Chu, this, does she think that she was sleepwalking just now? This excuse doesnât look bad.
âSleepwalking is rare.â Ji Mo replied, âSo, Dr. Chu, I was sleepwalking just now?â
âMost likely.â Chu Wei acquiesced to what she said, âIt might be because of the things from the past that caused you psychological pressure.â
Not only sleepwalking, there was also the possibility of a second personality. Chu Wei thought that her guess was correct. The Ji Mo just now, who looked extremely indifferent and was hiding in the dark, was possibly the second personality.
âIâll take you to see a psychiatrist and a psychologist tomorrow.â
Ji Mo didnât have the option to disagree, so she could only say yes without tears.
âIâm not going back tonight. I donât know if your sleepwalking will happen again. If it happens again, what will happen to you if Iâm not by your side?â
Chu Wei still thought that Xiao Ji needed her care and could not relax.
Ji Mo heaved a sigh of relief, this hurdle was at least considered passed, right? She couldnât allow herself to reveal that she was now a very powerful girl.
The next day, Chu Wei took Ji Mo to see a doctor. After going to the department of psychiatry and psychology, no big problems were found, and they just let Ji Mo be observed.
Before long, Ji Mo received the news that Du Libing had been imprisoned again.
The sentence this time was still not long, but it was better than nothing.
But there were tens of thousands of people like Du Libing in this world, and there was no way to tell how many innocent girls are being victimized every day.
After getting off from work this day, Ji Mo walked to the coffee shop to find Chu Wei as usual, but noticed that Chu Weiâs face was devoid of any blood. Her hands were clenched tightly on the table, her eyes lowered, and she had no idea what was going on in her mind.
She had a feeling that the current Chu Wei possessed a very mixed aura, murderous, chilling, and gave off a feeling of deep loneliness, sadness, and helplessness.
She approached her and touched Chu Wei, âDr. Chu, you donât look good. Are you having any problems?â
âToday⦠I stumbled on something Iâm helpless about.â Chu Weiâs voice was deep, tainted with unknown heaviness. Ji Mo didnât say anything. She patiently waited for the other party to continue, âThis afternoon, I bumped into an aunt who was crying outside at the entrance of the emergency room. Her daughter is nineteen years old, and was stabbed several times. The rescue failed.â
âThe culprit has been captured, and his statement was that he mistakenly thought of another person in the auntâs daughter just because she resembled his ex-girlfriend who looked down on the poor and loved money.â
Ji Mo discovered that the screen of Chu Weiâs phone was stopped on this news, and she was even looking at the comment section.
Seeing that she was looking at her phone, Chu Wei lifted the phone to Ji Moâs side. âWhy do these people have the conscience to post malicious things like this on the internet?â
Ji Mo threw a look at three comments and quickly became angry on behalf of the auntâs daughter. She had the urge to pick up a knife and kill these people.
[Being chased and chopped in half on the street, most likely the woman cheated on the man.]
[This kind of imprudence, who looks down on the poor and loves the rich, deserves to die.]
[In this world, there is no such thing as killing people without any reason. Since the man is willing to kill you, it must be because this woman did something wrong.]
Even if there were many people who stood for the girl, none of them could suppress the screen filled with hostile words, causing peopleâs hearts to feel cold.
âWhy does a person develop an intention to kill another person just because of extreme anger?â Chu Wei said, âIf things like this repeat, canât we ordinary people just kill those dangerous people first in order to live peacefully, so things like this wonât happen again?â
Ji Mo held Chu Weiâs cold hand, wishing very much to remove the pain in her heart. She didnât care about the murderous intent around her body and directly continued her actions, âDr. Chu, letâs go home.â
She didnât know what to say to advise her, but she agreed with her decision to let those bad guys disappear. However, this society was not without rules. If every person had the same mindset as them, then order and stability would be broken.
So, no.
âXiao Ji, you donât have to be scared. No matter how dangerous this world is, I will protect you.â After entering the car, Chu Wei suddenly hugged Ji Mo, and spoke while looking at her before letting go.
Ji Moâs eyes clashed with those clear and solemn eyes of Chu Wei. For a moment, she forgot to look away. This pair of beautiful eyes were like jewels, filled with sincerity, and surprisingly caused her feelings to be in disarray.
