Yu Yi browsed the mission brief uploaded to the client, suddenly asking, “Bo Shi, did you deliberately hide high-reward missions?” For three consecutive times, each mission list only had tasks not exceeding 5 points in reward, which made her suspicious.
Bo Shi chuckled, “This is your illusion, you’re overthinking.”
Yu Yi remained silent, just staring at the ceiling’s camera direction.
“Ah, there was one more page I forgot to turn.”
Bo Shi transmitted a mission with a 25-point reward, and Yu Yi carefully read the requirements. Bo Shi advised, “This mission involves entering an injured person’s body and will be tough. You shouldn’t do it. Wouldn’t doing five 5-point missions be the same…”
Yu Yi looked up, “I want to do this mission.” She then selected “Confirm Selection”.
However, Tang Jian began to escalate, and after verbal abuse became a habit, even if Feng Li tried to explain, he would find it intolerable and insist that she admit her mistake before letting it go.
Feng Li could no longer bear Tang Jian’s violent temper, and one day they had a fierce argument. Tang Jian struck her, causing her to fall to the ground.
Feng Li was terrified, though Tang Jian immediately apologized and swore it would never happen again, and she forgave him.
Feng Li concealed Tang Jian’s violence from everyone, including her family, because when he wasn’t angry, he could be very gentle, and she knew he loved her.
However, there is a demon living in everyone’s heart, and once released, it is difficult to return to the beginning.
Violence does not escalate all at once; it starts with “momentarily losing control of emotions” and gradually becomes routine, to the point where even apologies and promises are dispensed with.
The abuser and the enabler complement each other and are indispensable.
This time, Tang Jian hit her too hard, and Feng Li lost consciousness after being struck on the head by a humidifier. Then Yu Yi passed through, replacing Feng Li.
Initially, when Tang Jian saw Feng Li collapse, he was somewhat panicked. Seeing her wake up and able to get up on her own, he was no longer worried, and after drinking some warm water, he was again filled with inexplicable anger.
Yu Yi came through to help Feng Li.
