set fire to his heart

Time passed in seconds.

The pickup truck bumped all the way on the small road between the mountains.

Accompanied by the setting sun.

Dazzling light swept in from the windshield, blinding people's vision.

A vehicle that is already moving slowly becomes even slower because of this.

"crunch...crunch..."

The branches rubbed against the surface of the car, making piercing noises from time to time.

Mia, who was driving the car, held the steering wheel with both hands and focused on the road.

Her mobile phone was placed on the side, and the screen displayed the navigation, reminding her that the satellite positioning signal was weak from time to time, but the direction she was taking was always approaching the destination of Jizhao Temple.

Expect another hour.

If all goes well, she will be able to arrive at Jizhao Nunnery before it is completely dark.

thought here.

Mia held the steering wheel nervously with both hands.

She drove the car carefully.

until.

The man in the co-pilot woke up from the anesthesia.

"Uh...uh..."

Brother Yong, who opened his eyes, intended to move, but his body was tied up with tape by Mia, and his hands and feet were tightly wrapped with tape.

His mouth was also taped.

"Uh...uh..."

Brother Yong wanted to speak, but all the words he spoke turned into the same muffled sound.

"woke up."

Mia drove the car without even looking at him, just paying attention to the road conditions and driving.

"Uh...uh..."

Brother Yong turned to look at her, feeling a little agitated, but he couldn't move.

"Don't worry, I have a driver's license and can drive."

Mia told him: "When I arrive at Jizhao Temple, I will untie you. Oh, of course, don't even think about the fare, and don't even think about taking advantage of me. I don't care if I don't call the police. Good for you, otherwise..."

"The words you said just now when I was in a 'coma' have been recorded by my mobile phone, and the pancakes I haven't finished eating are enough to be handed over to the police as evidence to accuse you of conspiring against me."

Mia said, and told him one by one what she had in hand: "What I did to you can be counted as self-defense. And, this is not the first time you have done this kind of thing, right? Once you call the police, you should be able to If you are involved in an old case, maybe you can count the cases and try them together, so you can spend more time in prison."

She said it easily.

Brother Yong, who was tied to the co-pilot, looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.

He who was still struggling and trying to speak was completely silent at this moment.

See him shut up.

It can be seen that what he said has deterred him.

Mia's lips curved into a sarcastic sneer.

She continued to drive.

The deflated Brother Yong stopped talking, and let Mia be at his mercy as if resigned to his fate.

The two live in peace.

The car kept going.

Just seeing the sky gradually getting darker and darker, and the estimated arrival time displayed on the navigation is 40 minutes, Mia's mood gradually became a little anxious.

Beside her, Brother Yong, who was sitting in the co-pilot, also made a sound again.

"Uh...uh..."

He wants to talk.

Mia understood what he meant, and denied it directly: "I won't let you drive, who knows what will you do to me if I untie you at this time?"

"Uh...uh..."

Brother Yong's emotions gradually became agitated.

But Mia still denied him: "I won't believe you. Even if you promise again and again, I can't give you back your freedom. I'll just drive slowly, and you just sit in the co-pilot for me honestly!"

"Uh!! Uhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Her decision was rewarded with a super excited reaction from Brother Yong.

"Uh!! Uhhhhhhhhhhh!"

He turned around intending to get close to her, his eyes widened, and his bloodshot appearance was even a little scary.

Seeing him is a bit abnormal.

Mia found this strange.

She held the steering wheel with one hand, and reached out with the other to tear off the tape on Brother Yong's mouth.

"There's a black bear!! Didn't you fucking hear the movement?! Hurry up and give me—"

Brother Yong didn't finish his sentence.

I saw a black shadow coming out of nowhere.

Without waiting for Mia to respond.

It rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.

The sudden situation made Mia's mind go blank.

She didn't have time to see the specific appearance of the black shadow clearly, just hearing the word "black bear" mentioned by Brother Yong was enough to make her feel nervous and scared.

Seeing it rush towards the direction of the vehicle.

Mia reflexively swiped to the side, intending to dodge.

however.

There is no retreat at all.

"what--"

Under Brother Yong's screams.

The car lost weight and dumped sideways.

Mia wanted to call the direction again to rescue, but it was of no avail.

A car that rolls over is like a spinning top.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

It rolled down the cliff heavily, making a heavy muffled sound.

As for Mia in the car, there was no room for her to save herself.

The brain is blank, the body is stiff, and the vision and body are spinning together.

I don't know how many laps after tumbling.

The pickup truck hit something hard, which caused the vehicle to stop and roll.

And her body was hung upside down in the car.

Mia wanted to move, but her body kept moving.

She tried to open her eyes, but her vision was blurred.

What can be seen is the broken windshield and messy branches.

Thinking of the black bear that was about to attack them, where it is now, and what it will do to them next...

Mia felt flustered, and she wanted to run away.

But her body was completely out of control, and even her consciousness kept getting weaker... no matter how weak...

finally.

Her eyelids closed heavily, and she completely lost consciousness.

***
"Mia...Mia..."

The man's call came from far away.

"Mia...Mia..."

His voice is familiar.

She seems to have heard of it somewhere.

And, is she dreaming?
Mia frowned, unable to truly feel the current situation.

until.

"Mia..."

She heard him call her tirelessly again and again.

Mia slowly opened her eyes.

All I could see was a blinding light.

And with her eyes opened.

The other party took the beam of light away from her eyes, which also made the silhouette of the man in front of her gradually change from a black silhouette to a clear one.

He was wearing a suit, but his image was not as decent as before.

Hair and clothes are messy.

Behind the lens, those amber eyes were looking at her nervously at this moment.

Reflecting through his glasses, she could see her own reflection.

She was lying in his arms.

And, surrounded by dense forests of branches, you can still smell a faint smell of engine oil.

Mia frowned.

She wasn't sure if she was dreaming, or...

until.

Seeing her waking up, Shen Shili let out a heavy sigh of relief.

He couldn't help blaming her: "Why are you so courageous? How dare you drive to this kind of place alone? Why isn't the driver with you? What happened? "

Listen to his questions and words.

Mia gradually woke up, and the fragmented memories became clearer.

Her pupils brightened, and Mia sat up in his arms.
