Rosie's pupils constricted instantly, and his face turned pale. He covered his mouth to stop himself from exclaiming, and pressed his fingertips firmly on the table, as if only in this way could he stand upright.Fortunately, he didn't turn on the projection on this end, Robert couldn't see Rosie's terrified look, only he was silent.

The holographic projection over there was aimed at Deng Huailing on the wall again, and the camera zoomed in so that Rosie could clearly see every scar on the body's surface.Deng Huailing's upper body was naked, dripping with water all over his body, shocking bloodstains were interlaced on his skin, and dense blood spots were splashed on the wall.

The drops of water flowed down along the muscle lines, and when it penetrated into the wound, Deng Huailing always trembled slightly. It was probably not ordinary water, but a liquid like salt water or weak acid.He had been tormented by the pain until he lost consciousness, his lowered eyelashes were semi-conscious, and the wildness in those proud brown eyes dissipated.

Rosie stared at the projection close at hand in a trance, moved her fingers, and wanted to raise her hand to touch the man's face, but realized a cruel fact that he couldn't touch Deng Huailing.He slowly lowered his hands, put his hands on the table, and forcefully squeezed out a few words from his throat:

"Robert Dylan."

"Aren't you willing to call me Bob, Rosie?" Robert's voice came from outside the screen, with deep disappointment in his words, "I thought that after ten years, you shouldn't hate me so much."

"That's your ten years, not mine." Rosie said coldly, "When I wake up, I want to kill you every second."

Robert snorted lightly, as if he didn't take it seriously: "Is that so? It seems that you are more obedient when you are made into a bionic man. It can be seen that it is not a good thing for human beings to have free will. I shouldn't be soft-hearted ten years ago.If you die, then there will be no disaster today."

"Are you soft-hearted, or are you not daring at all? Mayor Dylan, do you really have the courage to kill someone you have always regarded as a god?" Rosie said coldly, showing disdain in her haughty expression, "InIn your subconscious mind, killing me will lead to irreparable consequences, just like the sky is falling..."

"That's enough," Robert's tone suddenly became a little stern, "That's the end of the reminiscence session. Rosie, I don't mind if you hate me a little more, you also saw who is locked on the wall, yourThe life of my little lover is only in one thought."

Rosie frowned pretending to be confused: "My little lover, do you mean Deng Huailing? I'm afraid your intelligence department made a mistake. I have nothing to do with him now. After he helped me get the lock of the brain,The deal between us is over."

"The two of you are surprisingly similar in many ways." Robert said meaningfully, "Both like to fabricate lies, pretending not to care about each other, but to protect each other. Deng Huailing would rather expose herself than warn you not to come looking for her."He, this evidence is undeniable, right?"

Rosie raised the corners of her bloodless lips and forced herself to laugh out loud: "It's undeniable? This can only mean that he cares about me, but I don't care about him. It's also my fault. I took up this young boy's first night and let himHe never forgets me...but if you use him to coerce me, all I can say is, it's up to you."

In order to appear more real, he tidied up his appearance, turned around and pulled Parisa out of the group of gossiping adjudicators, motioned for others to avoid, and then turned on the projection here, so that Robert could see him and ParisaSarah clasped her hands.

"I just regard Deng Huailing as a valuable bed partner, it doesn't matter if it's anyone else." Rosie approached the blond young man frivolously, "Mayor Dylan, you think you know me, but I'm not the same person I used to be."As long as the other party has enough value, I am willing to establish a relationship with anyone. I have found a new bed partner, and he is much more useful than Deng Huailing."

Robert was silent in thought, Rosie's words confirmed Deng Huailing's previous statement to a certain extent, and his suspicious character began to make trouble again.It is possible that the two men colluded in advance to make a good statement, but if it was true, then Rosie should have expected that Deng Huailing would fall into the hands of the government, so why would she just let this happen?

A drop of doubt is like a colony of bacteria in the center of a petri dish, gradually expanding outward.Robert is familiar with Rosie's character, and vice versa. As an old friend for many years, Rosie is well aware of the weaknesses in his personality. On major events, as long as there are still doubts, he will continue to look for evidence instead of making conclusions easily.

He will never know that Deng Huailing and Rosie once had a quarrel in the Lost City.They coincidentally used the lie that Rosie lied to Deng Huailing that day, which is why the caliber of the two is surprisingly unified.

Rosie quietly raised her eyelids and glanced at the reaction of the man on the wall.He was worried that Deng Huailing would hear his insincere and indifferent words, and the other party did hear them. From Rosie's first sentence, Deng Huailing opened his eyes weakly like an anteater following the scent trail.Hungry, he looked around for signs of him, only to be slightly relieved when he saw Rosie in the projection.

When Rosie looked at Deng Huailing, the other party was also staring at him, with affectionate brown eyes and an imperceptible smile on his lips.

With just one glance, Rosie understood what he was doing. Deng Huailing understood what he was doing. He told the same lies as when he first arrived in the Lost City, but the difference was that they no longer had rifts and estrangements.

"Since you said it's up to you, then I can do whatever I want with him?" Robert said slowly, observing Rosie's expression carefully, "how about breaking his tendons?"

The projection has been turned on, and Rosie's every move can be seen in Robert's eyes.His face was still calm and composed, but his whole body couldn't help trembling, his vision was filled with noise, as if he was going to faint in the next second.

Parisa squeezed his hand gently to remind him to calm down.If Rosie showed panic at this time, Robert would gradually increase the intensity, threatening to cut off Deng Huailing's limbs, breaking his psychological defense, and forcing him to hand over the lock of his brain.

But if he didn't care, Robert wouldn't bother to do it.

"Choose it, I'll watch it." Rosie said coldly, her fingertips dug deeply into Parisa's palm, "Anyway, he's useless to me, it's just bloody."

"You are a person who has experienced many battles, do you also feel bloody?" Robert waved and summoned a combat bionic man, and ordered the opponent to pull out a sharp knife to cripple Deng Huailing's hand.

"You can't say that, I'm not like you, I'm indifferent to anyone's pain." Rosie knew that Robert must have seen her slight panic, so she admitted it frankly and found a reasonable explanation, "I still have a little conscience,After all, I have no grievances with him, and of course I cannot bear to torture him because of me."

Robert stopped talking, staring at his face.The combat bionic man untied a chain, put down Deng Huailing's right hand, pointed the blade of the dagger at the outside of the wrist, and stabbed it in according to Robert's instructions.

Beads of blood popped out in an instant, dripping down Deng Huailing's fingers, like red threads interlacing and falling.

The viscous sound of flesh being pierced filled the room. Rosie stood there numbly, as if standing under a raging waterfall, her ears were filled with silent roars, her blood vessels were numb from the shock, but she couldn't move.He didn't want to accept or understand what happened in front of him, and let his thoughts wander. He was afraid that once he accepted and understood, he would break down and cry out.

Deng Huailing calmly waited for the sharp knife to stab in, without even moving his eyelashes.He was glad that Robert had overlooked one thing. He is an acquired left-hander. Losing his right hand will not make him unable to hold a knife for the rest of his life. Just like Bai Shijin said to Rosie, that right hand has already fought for prostitutes a few years ago.It's okay to waste half of the time.

He was calm in his heart, but he wanted to pretend to be wronged and wronged, struggling desperately: "Let go of me! What do the grievances of you politicians have to do with me? Rosie, I have done so many things for you, and you just look at me like thisTetenu was cut off, is your so-called conscience used to print brochures?!"

Rosie gritted her teeth, her pretty face impassive.The blade stabbed deeper and deeper, and stopped when it touched the tendon. The bionic man turned his head and asked for Robert's next instruction.Just a little force, and then find the right angle to pick, Deng Huailing's right hand will be completely disabled.

"It's in vain that I was sincere to you before, but you are so helpless, I am really blind..."

"Stop." Robert said a word briefly, and Deng Huailing, who was shouting, suddenly quieted down and looked at him eagerly.He irritably motioned the bionic man to take back the dagger, "There's no need to go any further."

The combat android obediently pulled out the blade, locked Deng Huailing to the wall again, and stepped aside.

Deng Huailing's right hand was still bleeding, Rosie stared at that hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and the roar in her ear gradually faded away.For a moment just now, he had the urge to hand over the lock of his brain. He wanted to cry and beg Robert not to continue. No matter how much the price was, even if the city was going to be destroyed tomorrow, he would notThe spirit is hurt.

But he never had the right to choose.His will will never belong to himself, but to the Second District and the people. He can only think about what the Second District thinks. As a leader, tens of millions of people may be buried with him for a single act of willfulness.

Sorry, Huailing.Rosie blinked sadly to keep the tears from falling.I am not a competent lover, maybe you chose me, it was a mistake at all.

After a few perfunctory words at the end, Robert interrupted the communication impatiently. It seemed that he was very upset that the trump card he had identified did not play the desired effect.Rosie knew that the other party would never let it go. Robert just needed more evidence to support his decision. Whether Deng Huailing was a card that could be discarded or a talent that could be used for a long time.

Rosie smiled with tears in her eyes. In the eyes of people who cherish talents, Deng Huailing's attraction is almost irresistible.Even after Robert experienced Chen Wei's lesson, he wanted to save Deng Huailing's life.

Before Robert can make up his mind, he will free his lone wolf from its cage.

I wish you all a happy new year and good health in the new year (??ω??)
