17: Killing

  After September, the night in Jiangling came earlier. When the taxi stopped, Jiangnan threw out a large bill, opened the door and jumped out. Nana was waiting for him with her feet stamped.

  "What's wrong, Nana?" Jiangnan looked back, but Jingjing and Lili were gone.

  Nana immediately threw herself into Jiangnan's arms and started crying. It was the first time that Jiangnan saw Nana so vulnerable. He stroked Nana's hair and said, "Speak slowly. Don't be afraid. I'm here."

  "We were shopping... wuwu..." Nana was sobbing, "They came over and asked us to go out, but we refused, so they took us into a van. Jingjing... Jingjing opened the door and pushed me out..."

  "Don't be afraid, baby. Where are you? Where is she now?" Jiangnan tried his best to stay calm. Fortunately, Nana was fine.

  "This building…"

  Jiangnan held Nana's shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's go up and I will protect you, okay?" Jiangnan pulled Nana inside. He was no longer comfortable leaving Nana outside.

  "Do you know who they are?"

  "I've seen the guy who's the waiter at Fenghe Bar." Nana wiped her tears. How could a little girl like her have ever seen such a scene?

  Jiangnan took Nana and searched floor by floor. Fortunately, this was an unfinished model building with only the framework built but no planning. When they were on the eighth floor, Jiangnan finally heard the sound of a woman crying. A surge of anger gradually rose in his heart, and veins popped out on his face. Nana nervously held Jiangnan's hand and dared not let go.

  "Let go!" Jiangnan didn't have time to look and shouted loudly as soon as his head showed up.

  When Jiangnan appeared on the ninth floor, he was so angry at the scene in front of him that he clenched his fists.

  A piece of brown paper was spread on a carpenter's table. Jingjing and Lili were stripped naked and laid out in the shape of a big character. Six men were divided into groups of three, with one moving in the middle and two holding them.

  When interrupted by the sudden visitor, a man pulled out the dirty liquid from Jingjing's body, and the liquid flowed down the inside of Jingjing's thighs.

  Jiangnan closed his eyes for a moment, tried to calm his breathing, patted Nana's shoulders, and wrapped his coat around her. "Don't be afraid, I'm here, okay?"

  Nana looked at Jiang Nan who was almost begging, and swallowed back her tears, "Yeah."

  Jiangnan gritted his teeth and walked towards the center with his hands in his pockets. Jingjing and Lili, who were released, were no longer crying, their hair was soaked with tears.

  Jiangnan glanced at Jingjing and Lili, then turned his gaze to the others, "You are the ones who are going to die today. No one can save you now."

  "Huh, boy, we are just worried that we don't have enough girls now, and you sent this little girl who is said to be unavailable. We are so lucky today."

  "Hahahaha..." The entire empty room was filled with disgusting laughter.

  After the laughter, a man suddenly had a switchblade in his hand and stabbed Jiangnan in the stomach. Jiangnan slightly pulled in his stomach and dodged, "Ka Ba!"

  "Ah..." The man didn't know how Jiangnan grabbed his hand the moment he fell to the ground, but he watched his wrist being bent 360 degrees by Jiangnan.

  Several people looked at each other, drew their weapons and rushed towards Jiangnan, and Jiangnan was quickly surrounded.

  He frowned and looked around. In close combat, during the xz rebellion, he was surrounded by dozens of people and knocked them all down. These people were no problem at all, but Jiangnan didn't want to let them die so soon, at least he didn't want to do it so soon.

  When the last person fell to the ground and covered his eyes, the only sound from upstairs was screaming. It was all because he rushed too fiercely and Jiangnan directly stabbed two fingers into his eyes.

  Jiangnan wiped the blood with the corner of his clothes, walked to the side of the table, picked up Jingjing and Lili, and barely put on their clothes that were torn by these people. He forced a smile and said, "It's okay, just think of it as a dog bite, okay?" Jiangnan really couldn't imagine what would happen to him if the person lying on the table was Nana.

  Jiangnan took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it on the table, then lit three cigarettes and put them on the table, "Let's wait until the three cigarettes are burned out before pushing them down the stairs, okay?" Jiangnan coaxed Jingjing and Lili like they were coaxing a child. For today's kindness, Jiangnan never thought that they would do this. It is said that boys are heartless, but it was these two boys who saved Nana. Just like Shanshan said, they took on everything for Nana. If you think about it carefully, are they used to taking care of their schoolmates in normal times?

  Nana came over and her legs were already unsteady, "Jiangnan, don't..."

  Jiangnan smiled and said, "It's okay. These rubbish deserve to die. Don't worry, no one can bully you with me here. Let's sit down and think quietly about how to torture them before they die."

  "Who are you? We are all under Brother Qiang's protection. If anything happens to us, you will die too." said a man in a green skull vest with his pants unbuttoned.

  Jiangnan seemed to be interested. "If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that Huaqiang did it. Thank you, but you are the first to die." As he spoke, he stuffed the cigarette butt in his hand, which was still burning, directly into the man's mouth, and then stepped on the man's mouth tightly with his foot to prevent him from spitting it out.

  Nana had seen it all from the beginning. The Jiangnan in front of her was no longer the little hooligan she knew who had peeped at her while she was in the toilet, but he looked so strange. Yes, knocking down six big and strong men was definitely not something that an average person could do.

  Jingjing gradually came back to her senses and wiped away her tears, "Thank you, Brother Nan, but we won't let you bear the brunt of a murder case."

  Jiangnan smiled and sat beside Jingjing, stroking her wet hair. Jiangnan knew that they were tears. "Haha, you call me brother and you are still so polite. I told you that nothing will happen. Do you think anyone will care about the death of a piece of trash? Don't worry, leave it to me."

  Jingjing looked at Jiangnan, not knowing what to say. She turned around and looked at Lili. This girl usually had a similar personality to Nana, but she was much more carefree than Nana. Lili picked up a dagger from the ground, walked directly to the man who had just ridden on her, and stabbed the thing under the man's crotch hard. Jiangnan even cried out in pain for that guy.

  The sound of slaughtering pigs instantly penetrated the entire floor. However, the sound from the ninth floor could not be transmitted to the first floor. Moreover, there were buildings under construction here, and there were only cars passing by but no passengers.

  "Fuck your mother, fuck... I let you come on me, I let you come on me..." Lili stabbed him hard with the knife like a madman.

  Jiangnan walked over slowly and grabbed Lili's hand. Lili looked up at Jiangnan like crazy and burst into tears. Jiangnan whispered, "Lili, don't let pig blood stain your hands. You will have nightmares at night. Leave it to me, okay? I will do whatever you say. Don't let any of them escape today."

  Jiangnan put the cigarette he had just lit in Lili's mouth, and carried Lili to the table with both hands. He glanced at the three cigarettes on the table and said, "It's burned out, but I haven't figured out how to torture them. There are only a few ways." Then he walked to the man whose eyes he dug out and stuffed a cement bag into his mouth. "It's too noisy. Then you go first."

  After Jiangnan finished speaking, the other five people quickly blocked his mouth. Jiangnan held the switchblade in his hand, turned it 720 degrees, and fiercely stabbed it into the man's thigh, then his calf, and then the other leg...

  The man didn't know how many times he had been stabbed, and fainted. Jiangnan wiped his hands and lit another cigarette. When Jiangnan smoked, he sometimes thought about problems, but more often he tried to calm himself down.

  Several girls were stunned and couldn't even bear to watch any further. Compared to being raped, these people seemed even more miserable now.

  Jiangnan turned around and stabbed the switchblade into the lower abdomen of the man next to him, then picked up some lime from the side and poured it on the wound. The man felt a burning pain in his lower abdomen, and banged his head against the ground, crying and screaming, but he also understood that it was impossible for anyone to save him now.

  After several people received different treatments, the entire floor fell silent, leaving only the heavy breathing of several girls. Jiangnan looked at the time and it was almost eleven o'clock. He stripped several people to the window, picked up a man weighing over 100 pounds with one hand and threw him directly out of the window, then finished cleaning.

  Jiangnan smiled and said, "Let's go back and just think of it as being bitten by a dog. Let's go play mahjong?" If it were in the past, Jiangnan would not have gone to such great lengths to kill someone, but now it was necessary to let a disgusting fear dispel another fear in the girl's heart.

  After walking downstairs for a while, Jiangnan went into a restaurant and ordered takeout before taking a taxi back to the apartment.

  When Shanshan opened the door, Jingjing and Lili behind Jiangnan had almost guessed what was going on. Jingjing and Lili went to take a shower first, and then Jiangnan played mahjong with a few girls and insisted not to let them go back to the room to sleep. Nana sat on the sofa stupidly, and the scene of Jiangnan killing people went back and forth in her mind.

  "Jiangnan, can you not pay me if I lose?"

  "Well, that's all for today. You girls have been colluding to win my money all day. Forget it, let's not play anymore. Let's watch a horror movie."

  Jingjing seemed to have just come to her senses, "Brother, you killed someone..."

  When Shanshan heard this, the thirty thousand in her hand fell to the ground. Jiangnan bent down to pick it up and said with a smile, "I told you not to be afraid. If anything happens, it's my own fault. You are still the victims. Haha, but don't worry, I will be fine."

  Nana stood up from the sofa and said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today after you drank too much."

  Several girls nodded. Jiangnan just chuckled and said nothing. He was already thinking about something else in his mind.
