Chapter 303: You Don't Understand (Part 2/3)
Translator: Strivon
Of all the people on the viewing platform, probably only Luo Nan understood the emotions of grievance within Tian Si's words.
She really did follow Luo Nan's instructions. She headed straight down the stairs of the fire escape. She didn't use the elevator no matter how tired she was, and she kept far away from the crystal pillar in the center. And yet, she was still unable to escape from Puppeteer's evil clutches. She got controlled by him and became a hostage.
Of course, Tian Si's feelings of grievance were secondary to her fear. She was an intelligent person. From the methods chosen by Puppeteer and Black Beetle, she could surmise that the momentum of victory and defeat between the two sides had reversed. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any meaning to her being a hostage.
For the 'kidnappers', her value lay in threatening Luo Nan. But from Luo Nan's perspective, what value did she hold? Why should Luo Nan abandon his great situation for a hopeless reversal, just to risk saving her?
This situation put Tian Si to near despair.
But she still placed her hopes in Luo Nan. However, she grew all the more fearful that Luo Nan would find saving her too troublesome, and would sit back and watch. So her expression of grievance was intentionally conveyed, even though they stemmed from her inner feelings. She could only hope to engender a bit of compassion in Luo Nan, and give herself a chance to live.
Tian Si was more or less comforted by Luo Nan's raised arm.
However, her response couldn't satisfy the others.
Above the Heavenly Ocean Lake, Puppeteer sighed. He walked along the frame structure of the pool, and his figure smoothly made its way to the center edge of the pool. He faced Tian Si, then hooked his finger.
Tian Si's feet involuntarily moved. She headed toward the pool, the distance close. The thumb of her left hand held up her jaw, roughly turning her head to slightly look up. She was forced to raise her head to look at the master who was in control of her life.
”Come, let us work together for a bit.” Puppeteer squatted down and even lowered a hand toward Tian Si. His mouth split into a grin on a face half covered by diving goggles. His teeth gleamed white in this smile.
Puppeteer had a decent facial structure. There was the charm of a positive and good-looking guy. But this smile drowned Tian Si completely with feelings of fear. She could only look on helplessly at herself in the goggles’ reflection. She was like a marionette. Her entire body was controlled according to this person's will.
She extended a hand upward to join with Puppeteer's hand. Then, she was flung up. The rough action made her feel like her arm had dislocated. She couldn't refrain from groaning in pain, but soon, even this sound was stuffed back down her throat.
Puppeteer used his own hand to take the place of Tian Si's. He gripped her neck hard, and sized her up face to face. He was extremely satisfied with her deathly white and flushed red complexion, caused by her fear and suffocation. Then when she took in a deep breath of air, he took in the exquisite fragrance of her tidy hair and laughed.
”Beautiful girl. Whether you are willing or not, we are one body.”
Tian Si really was about to suffocate. She had regained a bit of control over her body, but it was impossible to remove the steel-like grip Puppeteer possessed. Her two feet struggled to move. She couldn't do anything else besides this.
Puppeteer lifted Tian Si's slender neck as he walked easily back to his original position. Tian Si's feet and hands struggled to move during this process, but soon she ran out of strength. Her body went weak, and her eyes were filled with despair.
Puppeteer's gaze had moved toward Luo Nan at this time. Even though Luo Nan was half-squatting at the edge of the viewing platform and didn't even turn his body around, the eyes behind Puppeteer's diving goggles remained firmly fixed on Luo Nan. There was not the least bit of relaxation.
As for Black Beetle, his callous face stood in front of Heavenly Ocean Lake. He was blocking the only path of rescue to Tian Si.
Although things were like this, Puppeteer still didn't feel completely secure. He continued talking, ”I have to admit that we've completely underestimated your ability, Mr. Luo Nan. We've underestimated the perfection you've reached with your mental attacks. You dashed our plans. So we learned our lesson and decided to talk calmly and negotiate to solve this issue. For the sake of ensuring this, I specifically made a 'safety line'.
”Much thanks to the beautiful girl's cooperation. Currently, my mental planes and that of the girl share a bit of a link. Anything I experience will be impartially shared with her. As for how much I can endure, I am confident that I surpass this frail and beautiful girl in this aspect…. An attack that is sufficient to defeat me will likely destroy the girl first. So, I can only hope that the two of you have a relationship that is close enough.”
Having said this much, Puppeteer turned to look at Tian Si. ”Speak, beautiful girl. Have you two slept together yet? No? That's better. Maybe Mr. Luo Nan will feel more regretful if that's the case.”
Puppeteer sang an excellent performance, so it was natural that he hoped to receive a response from Luo Nan. However, only Xue Lei’s loathing gaze came from over there. Luo Nan still maintained his original posture. Even the arm he sent out in apology toward Tian Si had been withdrawn. It was unknown whether it was due to his injuries, or him being disdainful for this defeat.
Puppeteer sighed. He had no choice but to urge Luo Nan. ”Mr. Luo Nan. It's best to stop wasting time. The police may be idiots, but they should be regaining consciousness right about now. Let us resolve this quickly and return to our respective homes. This will be for the best.”
Luo Nan still didn't respond.
”Tsk. Are youngsters these days this cold and detached? Then, let me first warm up the scene and play a small game with this beautiful girl.”
A smile was restored on Puppeteer's face. He raised a single arm, swinging Tian Si above the water. ”The devil ray broke through the tempered glass at the bottom of the pool. Now, Heavenly Ocean Lake is probably the world's deepest pool;there’s no doubt about that. It is eight hundred meters, and the only one in the world! I have a premonition that the beautiful girl next to me has decent swimming skills. She can match those cute little friends, medium friends, and large friends inside.... Why don't we give it a try first?”
”Hey! H-H-Hey!”
Tian Si had originally given up struggling, but the strength of Puppeteer's hand ruthlessly increased as Puppeteer's words entered her ear. This simply squeezed out her remaining energy, compelling her to struggle with her hands and feet. She couldn't speak a word, and what was once beautiful eyes rolled back to white.
