Trafford’s Trading Club

"...The contract has been established. We will complete your request as a guest in the future and ensure that it is completed. And the final transaction fee will be collected at the end of your life. Is this okay?"

"It's... enough, I can do it... I can make up for it..."

…

…

After the rescue efforts of firefighters, the fire in the banquet hall will eventually be extinguished.

"Sir! You can't go in!"

Outside the fire scene, a man was being intercepted by firefighters. However, the man pushed the person away forcefully: "My sister is inside, you...go away!"

He pushed the person away hard and then rushed into the scene quickly.

The place was filled with the pungent smell of burned plastic, surrounded by a mixture of ash and water. The man ignored this and ran to the location in his memory.

The firefighters who had just put out the fire were too late to stop it. But not long after, the man who rushed in suddenly stopped.

He saw Guo Yushuo and his sister.

He looked at his sister who was hugging him and sitting quietly on the ground, lowering his head as if staring. The area around them was clean... and quiet.

It seemed that the fire could not bear to spread, leaving space for the two of them to embrace each other like this. The man was startled and subconsciously walked closer.

Step after step, he finally arrived in front of these two people. He lowered his head and looked at his sister who was held in Guo Yushuo's arms.

Unbelievably, what I saw not long ago was a decomposing corpse... Even if I saw it as a relative, I would feel horrified and frightened, a decaying corpse. But at this time, she was so beautiful.

It's like being alive, like sleeping soundly.

Her hands were placed on her chest, even though her eyes were closed, she seemed to be smiling.

"You..." the man shouted with difficulty.

Guo Yushuo's shoulders suddenly moved slightly and he slowly raised his head, "Can you wait a little longer? I know the police are outside... I will surrender in a while. But, can you wait a little longer? I just want to , take another look at her."

"You...your eyes." The man subconsciously took two steps back.

Empty, pitch-black...as if it had never existed at birth. The Guo Yushuo in front of him at this moment had no eyes.

"What I can see, I can always see..." Guo Yushuo smiled and said softly: "I was afraid that I would forget it, so I turned it into the last thing I can see, and it is permanently imprinted in my mind."

Man... Wenwen's brother looked at his sister who smiled peacefully. He didn't know what the meaning behind the smile was.

But if it was because, in the end, he lay in Guo Yushuo's arms, and finally felt the man's shame and guilt and was relieved... If this was the case, he, as an elder brother, would rather think like this.

Wenwen's brother took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and watched silently.

Soon after, the police came in. Guo Yushuo did not resist at all and bluntly confessed the fact that he killed his girlfriend with his own hands because he was escaping reality and could not bear the frustration and pressure.

However, the prisoner who surrendered did not mention a word about why the body was still so well preserved and how to determine the time of death.

…

After working hard for two days, and then having to take away the body of the deceased from the police station, Wenwen's brother had been tired for a long time, but he received a strange phone call.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Wang Guoliang?"

"I am... who are you?"

"Ah, hello Mr. Wang. I would like to confirm that you are Miss Wang Jingwen's brother and a direct relative, right?"

"who are you?"

"That's right, we are from Anxin Insurance Company. Miss Wang Jingwen had insured accident insurance for you, her father, and her mother before she was alive... Because the amount is relatively large, we need to ask you, and you Parents bring documents such as identification documents..."

Wang Guoliang listened in disbelief to the call, and even more in disbelief to the amount of the so-called insurance money.

That is probably wealth that he will never be able to earn in this life... or in the next life.

However, incredible things happened one after another.

"Hey, Guoliang, let me tell you, when we went to the hospital this morning, the doctor said that your father's diabetes is cured! I don't know what to do in the past two days, but I feel that I am much more energetic and can see things clearly. Presbyopia is gone!”

Even the child who was pregnant with childhood asthma was suddenly freed from the torture of the disease, and his wife cried with joy and quickly called to announce the good news.

Wang Guoliang sat here in a daze, still waiting to sign the documents to collect the body of the deceased, but his mind went blank.

Even if his sister had the awareness to buy insurance...but that kind of insurance with a huge deposit itself would require a lot of funds. He didn't think his sister had such purchasing power.

"Today... what happened?" Wang Guoliang looked at the wall clock on the wall in a daze, feeling sad and happy at the same time. Could it be that his dead sister was protecting his family under the Nine Springs?

He seemed to be able to think this way subconsciously.

…

…

Serenade for Strings in C major.

In the messy apartment, this dance music has been playing on a loop. I'm afraid the record player has been REPLAYing for quite some time. How many days?

Maybe longer.

It's still not burned out, so you can imagine that the quality is really good, right?

Thinking about the piece of music he played on the saxophone not long ago, it simply couldn't beat Lao Chai's "String Serenade in C Major"... Boss Luo laughed at himself a little.

But I haven’t touched the saxophone for a long time, and I can still manage to finish playing it. Is it just barely?

At that time, I just followed my heart, but now I feel a little ashamed when I think about it. Fortunately, it's not just showing off in front of others.

Luo Qiu's eyes fell on the surroundings of the apartment.

Whether it was the walls, the floor, or the sofa, they were all messily stained with paint... but there was a stench coming from the kitchen.

A few... or a dozen servings of braised eggplant that had long since gone bad was moldy, and the smell was really unapproachable.

Boss Luo decided not to go in.

Luo Qiu looked at the city from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

He knew that Guo Yushuo had also gazed here before, and perhaps his girlfriend had accompanied him here to gaze upon it during his lifetime.

At that time, he and she were probably still young, and they should still see each other in their eyes, and they should also have dreams of working hard in this big city. He should also say that he would work hard to build a family here, and she should be looking forward to it with longing.

What he and she saw at that time might have been the most beautiful thing in their lives.

But now, she can no longer see it, and he will never see it... All he can still see is the smile of his girlfriend in the last dance in his memory.

Luo Qiu held a small bottle in his hand, which contained a pair of eyeballs - this was the price of the last dance.

Silently letting his eyes look at everything in the city outside the window, Luo Qiu finally slowly covered the small bottle with a piece of black gauze.

He turned off the record player, and the place suddenly seemed lonely.

But there are still bright lights outside the window.

This city is still prosperous.
