Rebel Demon King

Chapter 339 The Abyss
Shen Mengjie was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling with blank eyes. The silver artistic chandelier above her head reflected three whiter circles of light on the snow-white wall. The curtains were drawn tightly, and the whole room seemed like night, and the time passed by One second forward, her heart tightened and tightened. She turned over the mobile phone next to the pillow so that the shimmering screen was no longer facing up, but her mind could not be separated from the mobile phone that was about to ring.

She was afraid of the death bell that rang on time every afternoon.

This time of day is when Shen Mengjie is in the most pain. The loan company called "Rong E" will call her to tell her how much she owes, and ask her to go to work tonight. If she doesn't go to work, she will repay the loan. will owe more and more
For Shen Mengjie, this is an unbearable torture for her. This summer vacation, she seems to be living in hell, even more sad than in hell. At least the walking dead can feel nothing, but she has to face the phone calls to pay every day , to face the threat of the other party coming home, to face those dirty and disgusting adults, and to lie to one's parents.
"Hell is nothing more than this. At least if you die, it won't be such a torment." She remembered what Sister Qing told her last night, asking her to sleep with Mr. Zheng for one night, and most of the debt would be repaid. At that moment She was actually a little shaken, she felt that she couldn't hold on anymore.

Shen Mengjie sat up from the bed, hugged her knees with her hands and buried her head in. She couldn't help crying again. She really didn't want to do this, but how did she get to where she is today?
Huge remorse crawled all over her body like ants, gnawing at her soul. How much she wished that she could go back to the summer vacation to change everything, but the reality was so cold and cruel, she felt that her life had no hope.

Shen Mengjie subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the window next to her, "Jumping down will kill everything!" This thought flashed through Shen Mengjie's mind like lightning, and she even felt that perhaps this would be a kind of relief.
At this moment, the phone rang again, and Shen Mengjie was trembling all over. She looked at the back of the phone and didn't know whether to answer it or not. If the other party asked her to go to work at night, what should she say?
Shen Mengjie's breathing was faster than the ringing of the phone. She looked at the phone at a loss, didn't want to answer it, but dared not answer it. At this moment, she felt that the phone was the most annoying invention in the world.

Trembling, she picked up the phone and looked at the bright screen. Sure enough, it was the number that seemed to remind her of death, which belonged to the landline number of Rong E Microfinance Company.

I don't know how long the phone rang before Shen Mengjie pressed the answer button and whispered, "Brother Qiang."

"Shen Mengjie, you have to pay back 6700 yuan today, are you ready?" There was a dull and serious voice on the other end of the phone, like a police officer who was torturing a prisoner.

"Brother Qiang, didn't you agree to pay the interest first every day, and the principal at the end of the month?" Shen Mengjie replied eagerly.

"That's when you go to work every day. Tell me, how many days off have you taken this month? Three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, how can I explain to the people of Little Swan? Shen Mengjie, you have to figure it out, then I begged you for the opportunity to make money and pay off your debts, not to ask you to become a princess."

"But I really do."

"Don't make excuses, Shen Mengjie, it's not that I didn't give you a chance. Now that more than half of this month has passed, you can't even pay the interest every day. How can I believe that you can pay it back at the end of the month? You are forcing me to You go to your parents, go to your school."

Hearing the other party's naked threats, Shen Mengjie didn't speak, she felt that she was falling into a dark bottomless abyss, and a huge fear was devouring her.

The phone fell silent for a moment.

"I said, Shen Mengjie, you can't go on like this. If you continue to owe like this, you will only owe more and more. If you really want to next month, your interest and principal will reach 25. Brother Qiang really doesn't want to embarrass you You, I also know that you are a student, and your grades are not bad, why don't you consider Sister Qing's suggestion, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, isn't it just a piece of membrane? You have to care, and it will take a lot of money to have a repair operation after it's done. It’s not worth a few bucks, besides, it’s not that X’s are too old to be seventeen or eighteen years old now, what can’t you let go of? Just let it go, pay back the money and turn things around. Start a new life again, God doesn’t know Unconsciously, how good is this?"

After a pause, Brother Qiang said earnestly: "If you continue to waste like this, you will only delay yourself"

Shen Mengjie felt ashamed, "Let me think about it, let me think about it."

"Well, you should think about it carefully. Remember to go to work on time at 07:30 tonight."

Shen Mengjie hung up the phone with a stiff posture. The air conditioner was bitingly cold. She felt that she needed the warmth of the sun, so Shen Mengjie lifted the quilt and got out of the bed, and opened the thick purple curtains. This is where she went to the curtains with her mother. The carved copper hanging rod she chose in the market was her favorite European style. After the sound of clattering, the glare of the sun slanted down overwhelmingly, and the whole world was completely white.

But the sun is not warm at all.

She lowered her head and looked under the window. It was a large platform on the sixth floor, and some things were placed in a mess on it, including the main unit of the central air conditioner, clothes that had fallen from upstairs, and some withered yellow weeds swaying in the wind.
She felt a little dizzy, as if a voice was calling her to jump down.

Shen Mengjie opened the window, and the heat wave from outside poured in, which made her body feel warmer. She climbed onto the window sill, stepped on the somewhat cold beige marble countertop, tears flowed from her eyes again, she felt She was very scared, and the powerlessness gripped her heart tightly, causing her to fall down.
"It's better to die." Such thoughts grew crazily in her mind, as long as she died, everything should be over, and the endless calls and threats should be over.

Shen Mengjie reached out and grabbed the window sill, tears fell on the aluminum alloy frame and smashed into a small crystal flower.

Shen Youyi held the steering wheel in one hand and the mobile phone in the other and said anxiously: "Xiaojie doesn't answer the phone, so nothing will happen, right?"

"Sister Xi, don't worry, I don't think Shen Mengjie should be so fragile. Maybe it's because of other reasons that she doesn't want to answer the phone." Cheng Mo, who was sitting in the co-pilot of the mini, said calmly.

Shen Youyi put down the phone and said to Cheng Mo: "Sit still, I'll drive faster"

Cheng Mo let out an "oh", stretched out his hand to grab the handle above the window, the 1.2T engine made a strenuous howling, but unfortunately it didn't produce much shocking thrust, it was just a little faster, and Cheng Mo couldn't help but think of the car driven by Li Jiting. The mini COOPER has much more power than this one. Perhaps this is the true portrayal of "the book is used up and you hate less". Even if Mr. Shen wants to drive faster, he is powerless.

The blue Mini was scurrying around in the sparse traffic. Fortunately, there were not many cars on the road along the river at three o'clock in the scorching sun, so Shen Youyi, a new driver with terrible driving skills, would not have an accident. Seeing another almost rear-end collision , Cheng Mo's body fell forward due to the rapid braking, and he had to remind him: "Sister Xi, haste makes waste. If you drive like this and have an accident, it will delay you even longer."

Shen Youyi grasped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, nodded to show that he understood, but he was still so careless when driving, but Cheng Mo was fortunate that Shen Mengjie's house was not far away, just near the Industrial University on Yanjiang Road.

Shen Youyi drove the car into the community, leaned casually towards the side of the road, forgot to pick up the key, got out of the car with her mobile phone, she looked up at Shen Mengjie's house on the 23rd floor, she was too tall to see In the window, there is only one round of sun emitting a sinister light.

While playing the phone, Shen Youyi hurriedly walked towards the building. Her hands were completely soaked in sweat, and she tapped the screen several times, but failed to use the password to unlock it.

Cheng Mo leaned over and pulled out the key, got up and got out of the car, locked the door, and followed Shen Youyi's back into the elevator room.

"Quickly answer the phone! Quickly answer the phone!" Shen Youyi kept pressing the up button of the elevator while looking at the phone screen.

However, no one answered, only the empty beep echoed.

At this time, the elevator reached the first floor, and Shen Youyi didn't care whether Shen Mengjie answered the phone or not, so he stuffed the phone into his bag and stepped into the elevator.

On the 23rd floor, Shen Youyi rushed straight to the door of Shen Mengjie's house, knocked on the door vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Xiaojie. Open the door. Xiaojie"

But there is still no response inside.

"Sister Xi, are you sure Shen Mengjie is at home?" Cheng Mo who was standing aside asked softly.

"It should be at home. When I called her for the first time, she said she was at home." Shen Youyi answered while knocking on the door vigorously.

Cheng Mo reached out and took a black hairpin from Shen Youyi's hair, "Then let me try it out"

Shen Youyi was caught off guard and touched his ears. At this moment, Cheng Mo had already bent down and inserted the hairpin into the keyhole. At this time, she was not concerned about Cheng Mo's slightly rude behavior. She asked anxiously: "Can you open it?" ?”

Cheng Mo said lightly: "Try it."

Time spins forward minute by minute, and the corridor has entered a dead silence, only the slight sound of the tumbler lock, and the sound of beads of sweat falling on the terrazzo floor.

"If it doesn't work, I can only call her parents and call the police." The extremely anxious Shen Youyi took out her mobile phone again. Just as she was entering the password and looking for her uncle's phone number, Cheng Mo turned it away with a "snap" door lock.

Cheng Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that this skill could be used on the main body, maybe it was the enhancement of the main body that made his senses sharper.

Cheng Mo pushed open the door, and Shen Youyi immediately slammed straight in, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Xiaojie, Xiaojie!"

There was no answer in the room.

Cheng Mo watched Shen Youyi quickly walk into the room facing the door, and then heard a scream.
