[Comprehensive British and American] The Sims

cough cough.

For some reason, as a single dog serving the people wholeheartedly, Xiao Zhao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his throat.

It may be because the dog food is stuffed too suddenly, and it may be choked.

Hearing his and her coughing, Liliana and Tony Stark, who were sitting on the sofa opposite Xiao Zhao, raised their heads together, staring at her with emerald green and golden brown eyes.

The two people, one big and one small, have similarities from expressions, looks, and even eyes, revealing a kind of dislike for why you are still here.

I'm really sorry to interrupt your mutual love, haha.

Xiao Zhao ignored the disgust of the two with a cold face, and asked Liliana very seriously, "Well, since you are already thinking about suicide, can you tell me why you think your roommate is a member of the Lily of the Valley organization? "

"It's not that I don't want it anymore, it's just that I have something else I want..." Liliana murmured softly, but because of her guilty conscience, her voice was so vague that even Tony, who was sitting next to her, couldn't hear what she was saying clearly. What.

Because the main thing is not to be heard by Tony.

The female detective who saw her mouth moving but didn't hear what she said looked over suspiciously. The girl didn't want to be questioned, so she snapped her fingers and said, "Well, it's really nothing, just keep reminding me, No one cares about me, my existence is unimportant... recently she often tells me how wonderful the world after death is, oh, she also shared with me her latest suicide plan last night."

Speaking of these things about death, Liliana's tone was extraordinarily calm, even a little naive.

The female criminal policeman asked in shock, "Why didn't you call the police?"

"Huh?" Liliana looked at her in confusion, and then said, "Should I call the police for this kind of thing? No one told me."

Speechless at the girl's silly look, the female detective held back her anger and said, "Whether someone is trying to commit suicide or someone is coaxing others to commit suicide, you should call the police if you find out."

"Oh," Liliana nodded obediently, and then said as if thinking of something, "So Loki also persuaded me to commit suicide."

And the last one?Is everyone trying to persuade people to commit suicide these days?

"Rocky? Doesn't it sound like a name or a nickname?" The female detective with a sense of justice was full of doubts.

In order not to cause public panic, the Battle of New York was reported in China as terrorist organizations attacking New York, and nothing else was mentioned. Therefore, aliens attacking the earth and the Avengers belong to a minority culture in China, and they are only circulated in small circles. .

So the name of the evil god Loki failed to start in China.

"Don't pay attention to him, Rocky went back to his hometown with his brother half a year ago." Tony couldn't bear to watch the topic being replaced by Liliana, and he was perfunctory.

Really?

The female detective looked closely at the two members of the childish duo, and finally felt that the older one was more reliable.

Well, anyway, the female detective didn't want to waste time on these trivial details, so she brought the topic back on track, "You just mentioned your roommate's suicide plan, can you talk about it?"

Liliana nodded.

In just a short while, Lao Sun has retrieved the file of his roommate Zhang Wanting from the file. The little girl is very poor. Her parents died in a car accident at the age of 11, and she was adopted by her aunt. What is commendable is that she has been excellent in character and learning for many years. The only time she failed was when she performed abnormally in a subject during the college entrance examination, otherwise she would not have entered Shuzhong University with her usual grades.

Looking at the photos on the file, Xiao Zhao still remembered that he had seen this girl before. She spoke softly, was gentle and considerate. Said she was eccentric and gloomy.

Only Zhang Wanting can tell many details of the deceased's life in detail, and use this to describe in detail her kindness and inner pain hidden under her appearance and character. It can be seen that she really cares about her.

If Liliana hadn't said to come out in person now, Xiao Zhao believed that he would never feel that watching Zhang Wanting would have the idea of ​​suicide.

Liliana recalled it for a while. She didn't pay much attention to the conversation last night, but she could still remember most of it. After thinking for a while, Liliana said the sentence she remembered most clearly, "She said dead It's time to wear that fairy white dress."

There was a pause here, and the memory came back, and the girl said again, "You need to put on light makeup, dress up exquisitely and beautifully, and you must bring the pearl jewelry that her mother gave her, and a plush toy called a teddy bear. Take it with you."

"I didn't eat all day before I died, and then in the afternoon of the second day, I lay in the sun on the emerald green lawn, listening to... listening to some song, oh, I forgot the name, in short, I just listened to it and liked it The song dies quietly."

The girl's voice is calm, she is obviously at the age of youth and vigor, but her voice always has a taste of slowness, as if she doesn't care about the world, but the occasional tone and pauses are full of excitement. With an air of innocence and innocence.

Under normal circumstances, her wonderful temperament is interesting and cute... only when talking about death, it will give people a sense of abnormality.

I don't know if it was because of her strange temperament or because of the overly detailed description, but those who watched this weird suicide plan slowly felt a chill creeping up from the bottom of their hearts.

What is terrible is not the horrible and ugly murder, but such a well-decorated death.

Taking a breath to calm down his emotions, Xiao Zhao asked, "Did she say that she would commit suicide by herself?"

"Well..." Liliana frowned and recalled, this involved many technical terms, and it was difficult for her to repeat, "I said it, but I didn't remember it, she told me, using a toxin extracted from shells , I will feel a little dizzy after using it, and if the dose is enough, I will die within 10 minutes."

Wearing pearls from her mother, she killed herself quickly and painlessly with a toxin extracted from seashells. It was indeed a well-planned death ritual.

People who have heard of these can easily feel the young girl's pursuit of cold and exquisite death with all her strength, and this paranoid pursuit has almost burned all the warmth in her life.

Sick and pathetic.

"It's STX, saxitoxin, a type of nerve paralyzing toxin," Tony said while looking at his mobile phone. "This toxin is very common in military laboratories and has applications in drug development. Guess the nearest one Where is the stx reserve?"

The ease and confidence of the Iron Man brought some comfort to several others in the room.

Trying hard to find a smile on his face, Xiao Zhao asked cooperatively, "Is it here?"

"Nope", drawing everyone's attention to himself, Tony suddenly looked around and asked, "Don't you all feel cold? Or is it just me?"

No, everyone feels a little cold.

Only Liliana felt it carefully, and then said seriously, "I think it's okay."

No matter what Liliana said, the lawyer who was reminded by Tony immediately stood up and opened the window of the principal's office.

Before I knew it, it was the time for the school lunch break. The warm air and sunshine outside, accompanied by the noisy and frolicking of the students and the unknown music playing on the school radio, floated into the room together.

Several people in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Stark, who was finally comfortable, no longer hung on to other people's appetites, and directly announced the answer, "The drug laboratory of the university next door has the authorization to use STX, and it happens that a graduate student working in it is the girl's ex-boyfriend." .”

"She used her boyfriend to steal the potion?" The female detective muttered to herself. She and her colleague looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of happiness in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, they discovered it early, and they still had a chance to save each other's life.

Also relieved was Tony, who suddenly realized that he hadn't drank water for a long time, so he reached for the teacup on the table.

It's a pity that after staying in the air-conditioned room for too long, the tea water inside has long since become cold under the low temperature. After taking a sip of the cold tea soup, Iron Man, who is used to coffee, frowned in disgust, and then put the teacup back. to the table.

But if you think about it carefully, the current situation has basically been resolved. The online media and other legal issues have been handled by lawyers. The girl with suicidal tendencies has also been found. Jarvis is analyzing the cause of the online rumors.

It's time to relax.

"OK, let's go find your girl." Standing up and tidying up his suit, Tony said, "When you find her, leave her cell phone to me."

Faced with such a proposal that violated the principle, Xiao Zhao nodded quickly.

After getting along for a period of time, what impresses her the most is not how rich the legendary Tony Stark is, but the same mobile phone, in the hands of different people, it seems that even the species has changed.

Black technology saves the world.

After the other party nodded, Tony turned to Liliana, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Now, sweetheart, what do we have for lunch?"

However, the girl with beautiful green eyes was looking out the window absently, as if in a daze.

That's not surprising, Liliana used to.

Tony waved his hand in front of the girl, "Come back to your senses, Anna."

The girl came back to her senses, she looked at her friend, then wrinkled her nose unhappily, "Tony..." The girl looked at Tony and then looked out of the window, "Did you hear the song outside?"

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and Tony’s unnamed Chinese song and the noisy voices of the young students formed a vibrant picture.

In the sunlight, the man nodded comfortably. He tilted his head and stared at Liliana with caramel-colored eyes.

"I think that song is a bit familiar," Liliana said seriously, "it seems to be the one I can't name."

Tony, who had a relaxed face just now, immediately paled, "That's bad."

Then pull up and run outside.

His lawyer followed behind for some unknown reason, along with the bodyguards standing outside the door.

After asking about the situation, the two detectives quickly chased after her, leaving Liliana in the room in an instant.

Well, why are you walking so fast?

After being dazed for a while, the girl slowly stood up, stretched her waist unhurriedly, and led another team of bodyguards, and she also walked outside slowly.

In the school, there are many places with green grasslands that match Liliana's description, but the most beautiful scenery is the small woods that Liliana went to this morning.

There are many big trees with luxuriant branches and leaves growing on the green grass. Couples of young lovers sit and talk intimately under the trees.

In such a scene, the girl lying on the grass wearing a white skirt is a little conspicuous, but not particularly obtrusive.

The other people who ran out in a hurry don't know where they are now, but Liliana, who started slowly at the end, was the first to find the place.

Looking at the girl lying in the shade, Liliana asked the bodyguard who was with her to call Tony.

Then she walked towards Zhang Wanting by herself.

The sun's rays passed through the treetops and fell on the corner of her skirt. Everything was as clean and beautiful as she described. The old teddy bear with black eyes was sitting beside her, and the girl's white skirt was spread on the green grass. , her hands are peacefully folded on her lower abdomen, and there is a string of pearl bracelets on her wrists.

A straw hat decorated with yellow flowers covered Zhang Wanting's face, which made her look lazy, like a girl who took a nap after noon in comics or movies.

After staring at the cute little yellow flowers on the straw hat for a while, Liliana reached out and picked up the straw hat. Under the straw hat, a white envelope was placed on the girl's face.

Liliana picked up the envelope, and sure enough, she saw Zhang Wanting's pale and frightening face.

She closed her eyes and looked peaceful.

Calmly putting the hat on the opponent's face again, Liliana looked down at the envelope in her hand.

Beautiful English handwriting was written with a black pen on the pure white envelope.

That's her name, Liliana·D

Liliana turned the envelope and saw a red circular fire seal on the back of the envelope. The pattern on the fire seal was a capital letter E

Opening the letter, it was still handwritten in English. The letter was very short, with only two sentences and no signature.

I miss you.

findme

I miss you.

find me.

Liliana looked through the envelope and letter paper several times, but found no new clues.

At this moment, suddenly, her cell phone vibrated, it was a new text message.

The mobile phone showed that the sender was Richard Brooke, but Liliana had no impression of this person. She couldn't imagine when she met this person and saved his communication information in her mobile phone.

The content of the message is also short:

221B Baker Street

Hasty footsteps came from behind.

Liliana, who was holding the envelope in her hand, turned her head, and she saw Tony and a group of people hurrying over against the scorching sun. The girl waved her hands with a smile on her face. Khan's man was in stark contrast.

Liliana smiled and waved her hands, all of them looked innocent, but when they saw the girl in the white dress lying on the ground, no one could laugh.

The female detective came over immediately, took off her hat, looked at Zhang Tingwan's pale face, sighed, and felt the pulse on her neck.

Shaking her head helplessly, the female detective put the hat back on the girl's face, and then asked in English, "Mr. Stark, can I use your hands to clean up the scene?"

Tony nodded, and the bodyguards immediately persuaded the surrounding students to leave the scene.

Lao Sun lowered his head and lowered his hands to stare at the girl's body for a while, then picked up his mobile phone, he must notify the bureau to send more staff here, and also notify the school.

There are still many things that can be done, and the worst time has not yet come.

Tony conveniently took the letter and envelope from Liliana's hand.

"We all ran to the playground...how did you know she was here?" the female detective squatting on the ground raised her head and asked.

Liliana looked down at the dejected female detective, and felt that she was depressed because she didn't do her job well, so she slowly explained, "If it were me, I wouldn't want to commit suicide on the plastic lawn. What's so good about the smell of feet coming and going? How beautiful this place is."

If her words are heard by the young couples who are dating here, it will definitely clear the heat and relieve the fire.

But the little girl looked at her dead roommate, and asked curiously, "Are you going back to find the person who made her commit suicide?"

The female detective stared at Liliana's expression, and asked in deliberation, "Do you think someone asked her to commit suicide?"

The girl nodded quietly, her expression was peaceful and even a little innocent, "She said last night that she still had two unfulfilled wishes, and someone left me a letter, which was put under the hat before."

As soon as the girl said it, Xiao Zhao understood.

A girl who carefully planned her own death would never easily destroy her death ceremony. Even if there was a will, the envelope would not be placed on her own face.

So finding the murderer has become the top priority now.

It's just that the fresh life that had a chance to be saved has died after all, which is depressing.

Liliana quietly looked at the dejected looks of the two people, subtly feeling that she was an outsider, and she couldn't empathize with their feelings.

...And she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't understand it. Miss Interpol didn't do her job well and was sad. Tony's job is not like this. Why should he be sad?

...is really inexplicable.

Still holding the white death letter to Liliana in his hand, Xiao Zhao's cell phone rang suddenly, it was Lao Sun's call.

When the phone was connected, Lao Sun confirmed Liliana's statement as soon as he came up, "Xiao Zhao, I found Zhang Wanting's diary. Her death was not a suicide, but a homicide. Also, you can ask the foreign girl carefully. There may be clues from Ling Lan, Zhang Wanting mentioned in her diary that she once wanted to lure that girl into the group."

After reading Zhang Wanting's diary, Xiao Zhao and others finally understood why Liliana said that Zhang Wanting still had two things to do.

Zhang Wanting has two wishes, one is that she wants her aunt's family to live in misfortune, and the other is that she wants Liliana to join this death game.

Lao Sun said that Zhang Wanting did not commit suicide because of these two wishes.

There is no such thing as her who really wants to die.

The autopsy report showed that Zhang Wanting did die of neurotoxin, and the needle hole for the injection was also found on her body, but the syringe and the mobile phone were missing.

It seemed the other didn't care that others knew of his existence.

Later, people found two clues on Liliana.

First, Zhang Wanting's Lily of the Valley group, she once disclosed to Liliana, and found the group number in Liliana's phone's SMS mailbox.

Then there is the murderer who murdered Zhang Wanting. After Liliana found the body, the person who texted her had been officially included in the Interpol tracking list.

It's a pity that they searched all the video information, but they couldn't find the video data of the man.

There is some information about 221B Baker Street, where a consulting detective named Sherlock Holmes lives.

While several other people followed the group number to find more news about Lily of the Valley, Liliana sat aside and searched for Sherlock Holmes with her mobile phone.

Thinking about the E on the fire seal, she probably had a guess about the source of the letter.

Due to the lack of key clues, the investigation into Zhang Wanting's death gradually came to nothing.

And through the descriptions of the living Linglan members and the diary left by Zhang Wanting, they were finally able to see the true face of Linglan under the mysterious veil.

The essence of Lily of the Valley is a death pyramid scheme, and there is no way to exit the game other than death.

Every member of Lily of the Valley must submit a photo of himself holding his ID card, home address, and detailed information of five relatives and friends including his parents when he joins.

Most of the members sincerely want to die, and a few are trapped inside for various reasons, and after staying for a long time, they also sincerely want to die.

Spiritually, they deny everyone their own worth and instill in everyone an either-or choice, pain, or death.

Everyone believes that there is no pure land in this world, and only death can bring peace and tranquility.

As far as physical, physical self-mutilation, controlling sleep, etc., everyone in the organization has experienced it.

It seems that suicide groups are all this way, nothing more than mental shock and physical harm, writing a suicide note when they are free, and denying themselves in front of the mirror.

Liliana didn't know what happened to the others. At that time, as long as she stood in front of her own mirror, the magic mirror would spout endless flattering words.

Thinking about it carefully, in front of such a mirror, it is not easy for Liliana to maintain an outward view of death for ten years.

One last point is particularly interesting.

The legend circulating in Lily of the Valley may have been made up by that idiot in the early years. It has been widely circulated, but the content sounds very unreliable.

It is said that those who are really peaceful and peaceful and want to die, they can reach the pure land after death.

A world where there is no harm, no pain, and only miracles of every kind.

There are immortal flowers, potions that can cure all pain, pure unicorns, crystal trees, and fountains of eternal life.

Xiao Zhao scoffed at this story, thinking that it was written by a brainless person who read too many fantasy novels.

How in the world would such a place be used?

The author has something to say: Through Zhang Wanting's diary, Lao Sun pieced together Zhang Wanting's story completely.

The idea of ​​suicide appeared three years ago, when Zhang Wanting took the college entrance examination.

Not only because she failed the college entrance examination, but also because she was bullied by a group of people led by her cousin.

The aunt who adopted Zhang Wanting has a son of her own. She treats Zhang Wanting very well, almost leveling the ground, but people treat their children differently.

The young Zhang Wanting saw it and didn't say anything, but redoubled her efforts in other places in order to gain praise and attention.

Zhang Wanting, who is getting better and better, is in sharp contrast with her cousin with mediocre qualifications, so that her cousin's status in the family is getting lower and lower.

The two of them took the college entrance examination in the same year, and my uncle and aunt uttered harsh words. If my cousin's grades are much worse than that of his cousin, then he should not go to college.Cousin has always been mixed up in high school. After hearing this, he complained to a few bastard friends around him, and then these friends tried to scare Zhang Wanting for the sake of his brother, but also Not so good, just let her take the exam a little worse than usual.

Later, when things got serious, Zhang Wanting wanted to call the police, but her uncle and aunt knelt down in front of her and kowtowed for mercy, fearing that something might happen to her cousin.

Uncle and aunt kowtowed, Zhang Wanting no longer pursued it, and the family relationship for many years also broke up.

In the same year, Wanting joined Lily of the Valley.

The above is Zhang Wanting's story, probably...

...Because I didn't want to write the story of Tony in Barabara in China,

So let her die...

In the follow-up of Lily of the Valley, I will make up for the reason for her sudden death,

In addition, this chapter is the legendary chapter in the early morning...

I was stuck for more than ten hours, and I am also awesome.
