Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

"You're awake." A slightly low voice said.

When Lu You's consciousness gradually recovered, this was the first sentence he heard.At first, his thinking was still a little confused, and he didn't realize what happened in a daze; he opened his eyes when he woke up, but his eyes were still dark, and his face felt a slight pressure.

A blindfold made of some kind of fabric should have covered his eyes tightly, leaving no gaps that would normally allow light to penetrate slightly on either side of the bridge of the nose.Lu You could feel that he was sitting on an armchair of just the right height, with soft cushions under his body and on his back. His sitting posture—or rather, the posture he was put in when he lost consciousness before—was very comfortable. Very upright: legs together, hands neatly placed on both sides of the armrest.

He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch his face, but something on his wrist tightened instantly, preventing him from moving—it was something shaped like a rope, which originally weakly connected his wrist and the armrest Looped together, it becomes almost imperceptible after getting used to it; with such a movement and retraction, the surface of the "rope" is generally smooth, but it seems to have lines, and the wonderful touch of the cold and hard metal is suddenly vivid.

His thighs and ankles were also fixed by the same thing, so he couldn't move at all; as well as his waist and chest... A figure of a human being tied to a chair by many ropes appeared in Lu You's mind. I tried hard, trying to see if there was a possibility of breaking free - I couldn't move at all, and those "ropes" seemed to sense his attempt, and they were tightened all of a sudden, so that he felt a little pain.

Although there was a strong sense of unreality in his heart, feeling these situations, Lu You almost guessed what was going on now.There was a dull pain in the back of his mind, and he gradually remembered what happened before he lost consciousness: he should be on his way to school.It's still the route I'm used to taking every day, and I'm used to seeing the scenery, cars and popular people, and I haven't encountered any strange things along the way.Except when he was approaching school, he was bumped on the shoulder by someone walking up from behind...

He remembered that he turned his head and glanced reflexively at that time, only to see a few pedestrians passing by with indifferent expressions, unable to tell who was the "culprit".Because the bump didn't hurt, he didn't care, and continued to walk forward...but the memory was suddenly cut off after a few steps, and there was no memory of what happened afterwards.He doesn't remember being hit by anything else, or being covered with a potion-stained towel as is common in movies, as if he himself passed out for no reason.

…Compared to the fact that he suffered from some hidden disease that he was never aware of, that he suddenly fainted, and that tying him to a chair was a special medical treatment, the guess of "kidnapped" seems to be a little more reliable—— Although he couldn't think of any reason why he should be kidnapped.More importantly, the surroundings are very quiet, and there is a slight fishy smell in the air, which smells strange as if you can taste sweetness.None of this feels like a hospital, and the words I heard when I just woke up...

It was a man's voice, and there was a cold and ruthless tone in the tone, which made people instinctively feel fear when they heard it.

The voice came from the front left, and after just one sentence, there was silence.Lu You turned his face in the blindfolded darkness and "looked" in that direction, as if he felt another person's gaze from there.His lips moved, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. The emotional fluctuations after realizing that he was in a dangerous situation were not enough to support him to shout, but instead he could not make a sound as if his throat was blocked.

From the perspective of the kidnapper who was actually watching him not far away, the performance was that he was stunned.The thin young man sat in a high-backed armchair, his eyes were blindfolded, and the black "ropes" that acted as tentacles wrapped around his body several times, binding him tightly so that he couldn't move—a little Like some kind of sacrificial scene.The monster's tentacles could feel the tense resistance of the lower body, which was so slight that he could ignore it...and for a person who suddenly lost his freedom for no reason, Lu You's reaction was a little too quiet.

There was a moment of silence, and then, Lu You heard light footsteps, walking towards him, and finally stopped in front of him.He couldn't help shrinking back, his back pressed against the back of the chair - after losing his vision, other senses did seem to become more sensitive, Lu You seemed to feel the shadow falling on him like a weight, knees It was as if he was about to be touched by the leg of the person in front of him, and there was a warm touch that implied oppression.His legs couldn't even move a little bit, and he only tensed up in vain when he tried to move back.

……Who is this guy?What do you want to do to him?

Before Lu You couldn't help but want to ask, as if the evaluation had been completed, the person standing in front of him spoke. "I know what you're thinking." The voice was low, coming from above, accentuating the condescension in the tone, "I brought you back from the street."

The man's tone seemed to be saying that he had picked up a stray cat.Lu You felt a distinct sense of absurdity and even stronger uneasiness—before that, he had had a little bit of luck that "maybe he misunderstood", but now this little bit of luck disappeared.He tried to struggle again, but of course it was in vain.As another rope was wrapped around the neck, the thin and sensitive skin of the neck seemed to be prickled by the coolness, feeling the threat of tightening at any time, Lu You dared not move.

...He had a creepy association: that "rope"...how does it seem to be alive...?

The tactile sensation of sliding on the skin is more like some kind of free-moving living thing than a rope held in the hand at both ends.The end "swimmed" to the back of the neck, went around a circle, and then came to the front, gently touching the throat.The touch was not forceful, but Lu You felt it was difficult to breathe. "This...what?" He said with difficulty, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, "Take it away...!"

"You promise you won't resist again?" the man asked.The voice was a little closer than before, as if he was bending over him.

Lu You thought to himself: Just the movement he didn't even use his strength just now, can it be called resistance?But of course he would not refute this kind of thing, he just took a deep breath and nodded—the range was very small, in order to avoid rubbing against the surface of the "rope" as much as possible.

There was silence for a while.Then, the thing wrapped around his neck was released silently and slid down the side of his shoulder.

Feeling very awkward, Lu You held on and didn't move, but he was secretly relieved: being able to accept the bargain means that there is still a possibility of communication... This should be considered good news?He did not "resist" anymore, but wanted to try to ask something more, but before he opened his mouth, the man had already spoken first.

"The room you are in now is where you will live forever." He dropped a thunderbolt in a calm voice, "I will bring you water and food regularly, and if you want books, I will also Will bring it to you. But you can't communicate with the outside world, and you can't leave from here. If you try to escape, you will die."

The man's tone was telling the truth—and it was, but to someone who knew nothing, it sounded like a threat.

"What?" Lu You said in astonishment, he raised his head subconsciously, but he could only see darkness in front of him, "You..."

"I don't want to hurt you." The man interrupted him bluntly, "However, even if I say that this is actually protecting you, you won't believe me, will you? You will still be afraid of me, want to escape, and then meet The real danger..." His voice sank, becoming more and more like talking to himself amidst Lu You's speechlessness, and after the last pause, he suddenly returned to his previous toughness.

"—it doesn't matter if you don't believe it," he said, "I won't let you escape."

After the man's voice fell, Lu You was silent for several seconds.The reason why he didn't refute or resist immediately was not because he was afraid of the previous threats. In fact, he was still trying to understand what those few words meant.After finally confirming that he heard correctly, a guess emerged in Lu You's mind uncontrollably: Could it be that he... encountered that kind of delusional neuropathy, right?

There seems to be a similar plot in the crime dramas I have seen before. The murderer regards other people's unintentional eyes and actions as proof of their deep love for each other, and tries to protect his "lover" from unnecessary "danger". Then the madness goes wild, killing people to vent their anger.Putting it in a fictional work, it’s just a sigh of “innocent disaster” for the victims, and I think it’s a very interesting subject, but if it really happens now...

No, no, no, it shouldn't be so unlucky—or, just understanding what this man with a completely unfamiliar voice is going to do in a literal sense is scary enough.Lu You recovered from the sluggishness caused by the initial over-shock, and felt a bitter mouth, and a numbness like electric shock caused by excessive tension in his body.He tried a few times before he could make a dry sound from his throat, "Bao... protect me?" He asked tentatively, and decided to follow the meaning of the other party's words first, "Why?"

"The reason? You don't need to know." The man's voice has completely calmed down, and he can't hear the previous emotional fluctuations. "You are probably guessing that I am mentally disturbed now? Even if I explain the reason to you, I will only It just makes you believe in this guess even more."

Being disturbed, Lu You moved uncomfortably, but fortunately, this subtle movement did not seem to be included in the category of "resistance", and the "rope" that made his hair stand on end in retrospect was not rewound.There was a vague feeling that something was wrong before, but it became clearer after hearing this sentence.Lu You hesitated for a while about the danger of angering the other party by asking questions, and finally asked tentatively: "You...you know my reaction before you ask?"

The man didn't speak.Lu You licked his dry lips, and lowered his trembling voice due to nervousness, "Who are you? Are you...someone I knew before?"

After he finished speaking, Lu You held his breath, and his body tensed up, waiting for the answer he might get, or some kind of punishment—he always felt that this man was suppressing something when he spoke, probably because he was in a bad mood at the moment. Well, either the person has a bad temper and seems to get angry easily, and anger is often associated with violence.Therefore, Lu You felt a change in the posture of the person standing in front of him, and Lu You shivered reflexively—if it wasn’t for being blocked by the back of the chair, and the “ropes” that fixed his limbs and body had never been loosened, I’m afraid He's about to curl up in a heap.

In front of what Lu You couldn't see, the man's hand outstretched in the air stopped, and then he took it back calmly.He stared at the young man's lips that had lost their blood color due to fear, and the tentacles that were tightly attached to the fresh and warm flesh and blood body at the moment, and what he felt was the trembling inside that he was trying to suppress.

He gave up the intention of conveying comfort by touching—at that moment just now, this was the action he wanted to do subconsciously.At that moment, he almost forgot his decision to restrain his emotions, and also forgot that his touch could only make the panic worse.

fortunately……

The man in black stood up straight, and when he forced himself to speak, his voice became cold and stiff. "You don't need to know this," he said firmly, "stay in your room and don't do unnecessary things—so you can survive."

Lu You felt the shadow covering him move away.Footsteps passed by the side and walked in the direction behind him. "I'll be over with dinner in two hours," said the man's voice as it passed. "I hope you're still intact by then—"

The sound of footsteps moving away made Lu You anxious. "Wait!" He yelled impulsively, and at the same time exerted all his strength, trying to break free from the restraints that fixed his wrist and the armrest of the chair together, "You just let me be like this..." Binding him so tightly, Where is the need to emphasize "stay in the room obediently"?Because of the poor blood flow, his fingertips have already started to go numb, if this happens for another two hours...

It's just that Lu You hadn't finished speaking, only heard a scream like a whip slammed down, tearing the air, and brushed past his cheek before he had time to react.At first, he felt a chill on his face, his whole body froze, and swallowed back the words he hadn't finished speaking; then, the slight tingling pain slowly spread from the place where the gust of wind passed by just now.

"Don't forget—" the man's voice said quietly behind him, "You promised."

Promise that there will be no further resistance...

Sitting stiffly, Lu You heard the sound of the door being opened.His mind went blank, but after a few seconds, unexpectedly, all the bonds that bound him to the chair loosened at the same time.Driven by instinct, the first thing he did after regaining his freedom was to turn his head away!However, the blindfold was still there, and when Lu You hurriedly took off the blindfold, he only had time to see the changing shadow reflected on the wall, and then heard the sound of the door closing firmly.

Lu You wanted to stand up, but halfway through getting up, he almost fell back down because of his numb legs, and he barely stabilized his body by supporting the chair with his hands in time.Slowing down a bit, he gritted his teeth and staggered towards the door, but after seeing the closed door, he walked slower and slower, and finally stopped before reaching it.Standing in place and looking at the door that must have been locked for a while, Lu You raised his hand and touched the stinging part of the side of his face with the back of his hand. When he took it off again, he saw a small dark spot on the back of his hand. red color.

...and what hope is "undamaged"...

Lu You sniffed, suppressing the sudden urge to scream and cry.This is something he is familiar with, so even in this situation, he quickly stabilized his emotions, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and then turned around and looked at the person who was declared to be his cage room.
