Chapter 2: Mysterious Memories
“Ye…Yes… She…She’s my girlfriend.” Zhang stuttered.
“What’s his last name?”
The man suddenly asked the girl with a hideous smile. He
wouldn’t actually do anything to the girl. Experience taught him that molesting
a girl when the boyfriend was on the side could easily invoke resistance. They
were after money, not trouble. If she didn’t have a boyfriend, he would
definitely molest her a bit. She was beautiful after all.
“Zhang Yang!”
The girl replied without thinking. Zhang opened his mouth
wide as he looked at her. He never thought the girl knew him.
“Hehe. I say he isn’t your boyfriend.” Zhang’s expression
didn’t escape the man’s eyes. That expression looked too surprising. It was
obvious that the girl knew him but he didn’t know the girl.
The man’s hand reached her face. He laughed pervertedly. His
hand reaching downward.
“She’s my girlfriend. Don’t you touch her.” Zhang suddenly
stood up. Blood was rushing through his head. He could feel that fear from the
girl through his arm. He couldn’t control that impulse of saving a princess as
a hero. A poison induced by movies.
“Haha… What can you do… Ah…”
The man laughed out. Suddenly, his voice halted as if some
force cut off his voice.
Everyone on the compartment was shocked. Zhang was holding a
knife. Its edge pressing against the man’s neck. The most shocking thing wasn’t
his action but his expression. He looked nothing like a student. A brutal and
savage expression. Eyes showing a killing intent.
“You dare---” The man said two words.
“Why won’t I dare!?” Zhang stared at the other four men like
a wolf.
“…”
This suppressed the man’s impulse. He felt this young man
suddenly transformed. Intuition told him the young man was extremely dangerous.
If he disobeyed him, he wouldn’t hesitate in killing him. The man had been on
this business for over ten years. He trusted his intuition.
Of course, the knife was the thing that shut him up. He
still couldn’t understand how that knife got in Zhang’s hand. The knife's point
pierced into his skin. He could feel his blood bleeding out. Not many people
could stay calm when their life was in danger. Even if such people existed, he
wouldn’t be one of them.
“Give me back my wallet.”
Not a big request. They satisfied him immediately. His
wallet was on the top of the bag.
“Hold it for me.” He signaled the man to give the wallet to
the girl.
“Give her the knives!”
The atmosphere turned stressful. Air felt like it had
solidified. Zhang’s request touched their bottom line. They would get torn to
pieces here without weapons.
“Hurry!”
The knife moved in a little. Blood had dripped down to the
man’s pants and painted the blue jeans to black. Zhang’s voice was filled with
a killing intent. All two hundred people in the compartment could believe that
he would kill the man without hesitation if they don’t hand the knives over.
“Bro. We are just looking to feed ourselves. Spare us a
chance to live…”
Sweat dripped off the man’s head as he felt that coldness
from the knife. He had rid of any thoughts of resisting. He believed that the
young man would pierce his neck with just a sign.
The man didn’t think of the young man as a student anymore.
A student wouldn’t act so experienced. This was the performance of someone that
had killed.
“This is F town, 20km from C city station. The train is traveling
at 50km an hour. It takes 24 minutes to reach the station. It needs to
decelerate at the second turn and also when entering the station. So there’s
about half an hour before getting off the train. You robbed 13 people, 15
wallets, 53 phones, several cameras, 11 rings, 5 necklaces… You can begin
returning the items now. Give the knives to my girlfriend when the train
arrives. Then you can get off during the chaos at the time. How’s it?”
“…” the man stared at him in disbelief. No one would believe
that the young man remembered every item they robbed.
Everyone in the compartment was looking at him with
surprise. The girl’s eyes brightened. She remembered some of the items but not
with the details of this pervert. Furthermore, he calculated the speed of the
train and distance in such a short period of time. This wasn’t just an ability
in calculation.
She wouldn’t know that he had been calculating the whole
time on how much longer he could take advantage of her.
“Hurry. You are wasting your time.” His eyes felt like the
starry sky. Cold and deep.
“Hurry, you bunch of trash!” The man shouted in a low voice.
He couldn’t speak louder because the knife was still pressing against his neck.
The young man’s arm stayed still like a sculpture.
The man was obviously the leader. The other four men began
returning the items. Time was their lives and freedom. The young man wasn’t
going to let them go if they couldn’t return the items when the train arrived.
He could either kill their leader or call the cops. Neither result was what
they would like to see. Their only choice was to follow his direction and
escape during the chaos in the station.
