Chapter 2: Lian Zixin and Yunai

"I …… don't recognize it." Lian Zixin's eyes were almost covered in blood at this time, his eyes were like a ferocious wild wolf, ready to tear the prey in front of him into pieces. The bald man in the prison uniform of the detention center unexpectedly didn't dare to look directly into Lian Zixin's eyes, and only mumbled the above sentence. "See clearly?" The police officer on the side then shouted, "Look carefully! This child was abducted in Z City back in 14 years!" "I, I really don't know, comrade police!" The bald man raised his handcuffed hands and desperately waved his hands in denial, "I, I'm not a fool no, if I really saw it, saying it out would be a meritorious performance, and I can still reduce my sentence, can't I?" Behind Lian Zixin, a short-haired woman slowly walked up, she swept over that bald head with her shadowy eyes and coldly said, "Sentence reduction? People like you should be sent to the penal colony, shot or hanged, letting you live one more day is a waste of food in this country!" Ten minutes later, Lian Zixin and the short-haired woman walked out of the police station. "Another wasted trip." The short-haired woman's eyes were as cold as ice at this moment, "It seems like we still have to rely on that apartment. As long as one completes the Blood Character ten times, one wish will be granted. With the two of us, the chances are always going to be a bit better, right?" Lian Zixin was still clutching that photo in his hand at this point. "Let's go and eat something. I received a call early in the morning, so I bought a high-speed train ticket to rush back to my hometown, and I didn't eat anything. No matter what, we have to eat enough." Just then, he suddenly stopped and looked at the short-haired woman. "Yunai, why is your husband ……" "Correction, not husband, ex-husband. I told you right, he gave up long ago. Three days ago, my cell phone friend circle saw the photos he took, his wife's stomach is already visible. He now, no longer expects to get this child back." Although Lian Zixin had known this for a long time, how could he not have expected that it would develop to such an extent. "I won't give up." At this moment, Yun Nai's expression became extremely ferocious: "If we both survive to the end, then you make a wish to retrieve our respective children, and I …… will let all the human traffickers in the world die!" Lian Zixin shook his head and said, "Even after completing ten bloodletter quests, the wishes granted can't do whatever you want. If you kill people as a wish, the maximum limit is ten thousand people. I believe that the human traffickers in all of China alone definitely far exceed that number." "It doesn't matter …… ten thousand people right? Then kill ten thousand!" Lian Zixin understood Yun Nai's pain. It had been six years, so long, and yet she had never been able to retrieve her child. And what was even more terrifying than that was that every time they saw those physically disabled beggars on the city streets and alleys, they would be afraid if their own children would become like that too. In fact, Lian Zixin knew very well how difficult it was to complete the Blood Character ten times. To be able to go to the extent of Mo Yuan, Qin Ziyuan, and Nie Han, these three people, was really a thousand times more difficult. However, compared to these six years of searching aimlessly throughout the country, there was finally a ray of light now. During these long years, although a reward was posted on the internet to find people, most of the people who contacted him were scamming for money. He and Yun Nai had joined forces with many orphaned parents to search for their children all over the world, but time and time again, all they faced was despair. Two years ago, Lian Zixin's wife finally died in a car accident while distributing flyers on the street due to chronic depression and near mental breakdown. Lian Zixin's mother also suffered a blow and died of cancer a year ago. Yunae's husband, on the other hand, decided to give up the search for a child and chose to have another one, but Yunae was adamantly against it, determined to find the day she died and not planning to have another child, and the two eventually chose to divorce as a result. In the vicinity of the police station, the duo found a Shaxian snack store and casually ordered some dishes. These six years had been a complete living hell of torture for Lian Zixin and Yun Nai. In China, the probability that an abducted child can be found and returned is really not optimistic, at least none of the parents around them who were also orphaned succeeded in recovering their children. A few years ago, when "Dear" starring Huang Bo was released in theaters, none of them dared to go to see it for fear that they would cry until they broke down. Later, it was better to watch the whole movie on the cell phone. More impressive than Huang Bo and Hao Lei, who got their children back in the movie, Lian Zixin was impressed by Zhang Yi, who eventually gave up looking for his children. When I saw his final crying scene, Lian Zixin felt even more chopped up. Over the years, he did not know how much money and energy he had spent to find his child, but still nothing. However, even more painful than that, was his wife's day and night complaints and disgust. At that time, he let his son and Yunai's daughter play on a small sand pit just over a hundred meters away from him. In just one minute, those two children were gone. Investigating the surveillance afterward, the two traffickers completely covered their faces to take the two children. These traffickers were extremely skillful, and in less than a day, they escaped from the Z city where they were. And where they were was a small county with too many illegal transportation routes, providing too much convenience for the traffickers. "Wasn't there a topic on the internet a couple years ago?" Yun Nai had just moved her chopsticks to eat a bit of food when she suddenly uttered this sentence to Lian Zixin: "It said whether human traffickers should be given the death penalty across the board?" Lian Zixin shook his head, "This topic is meaningless, it's impossible to pass. Let's not talk about human traffickers, drug dealers aren't subject to a blanket death penalty either." "They deserve to die!" Yun Nai gripped the disposable chopsticks in her hand with a death grip, "In fact, when listening to Mo Yuan tell us that a wish could be granted, it was the only time I saw hope in these six years!" "Me too." The blood in Lian Zixin's eyes seemed to become more bloodshot as he said this, "We made a pact that no matter who survives to the end, we will make a wish to save the child!" "As long as we can make a wish, it's entirely possible to save even the children of those orphaned parents we came into contact with in the past." Speaking of this, Yun Nai's voice began to tremble, "My daughter …… should also be in elementary school age now, she, she doesn't know how tall she is now, can I, can I recognize her again?" Even Zixin and Yunai couldn't forget that nightmarish afternoon. In fact, they weren't exactly on good terms. In the past, Yun Nai actually had a very unselfish personality, quite similar to Guo Fu from the Divine Eagles. She and Lian Zixin's paths crossed when their children were in the same kindergarten. As a result, Yun Nai's daughter broke the most expensive camera in the family that she brought to the kindergarten, but ended up cheating by saying that it was Lian Zixin's son who bullied her and pushed her to the ground, causing the camera to be broken. She naturally believed her daughter's words at that time, and with her husband also having a fiery temper, both parents went to the kindergarten to theorize. At that time, Yun Nai's daughter described her fall as being pushed by Lian Zixin's son, and the parents naturally both believed their own children's words, and as a result of the bickering, the parents even fought, and Yun Nai herself even slapped Lian Zixin in the face. Instead, because the matter is big, Yun Nai daughter scared to cry, said the truth. This incident also made Yun Nai quite guilty afterwards, to find Lian Zixin couple sincere apology, but also severely criticized the daughter, let her never lie again. Although this incident is a very unpleasant start, but after the criticism of Yun Nai's daughter admitted their own mistakes, and the children do not hold grudges, she apologized to Lian Zixin's son, the two children to release the old grudges. Yun Nai later found out that Lian Zixin was very good at educating children, and his son was very well-mannered, so from time to time she would ask Lian Zixin and his wife for parenting tips. That nightmarish afternoon, after the duo's children were both abducted, the two families fell into collapse. The most desperate thing for Lian Zixin in these six years was that he might not be able to see his son again for the rest of his life. His son might have been taken into the deep forest, might not even remember himself anymore, and was raised by strangers. He might even have his arms and legs deliberately broken and become disabled to beg on the road. If he never finds his son in his old age, he will never be able to close his eyes to see his dead wife and his mother who died of hate. The irony is that the apartment, which was hell for the others, became their only hope. For them, the evil spirits were far less scary than the human traffickers who killed them!
