Chapter 317: Even Killing a Hundred Means Death (Third Update)

Unbelievably, the high school student and the red-jacketed man were just about to push the “fallen man” onto the platform. The subway hadn’t arrived yet, and it looked like all three of them were about to be saved. Ji Changxin was stunned. If this man were saved, he might recall what Ji Changxin had done to him earlier, and Ji feared he’d be accused of attempted murder.

Ji Changxin feared not just prison, but the loss of face—yes, he couldn’t bear the shame!

From childhood, he had always been seen as an honest person, a bookworm, a coward. Even if bullied, he wouldn’t dare to fight back. The image of “Ji Changxin = coward” was etched into the minds of nearly everyone who knew him. If he were accused of attempted murder, people would say, “Hmph, Ji Changxin is indeed a waste, he couldn’t even kill someone,” “A leopard can’t change its spots; he’s been a loser since he was a child,” “All he can do is grope girls on the train, he’s got no guts.”

He would rather his life’s end be accompanied by comments like, “Wow, I can’t believe Ji Changxin would actually kill someone!” “He looked so honest, but he’s actually ruthless,” “Thinking back to how I wronged him before is terrifying.”

Ji Changxin finally made up his mind and strode towards the platform. He placed his briefcase under him, lay down, and reached out an arm as if to “lend a hand” like the others. In fact, he was quietly telling the man, “There is a cliff in front of you, and a strong wind behind you pushing you forward. Turn back now, or you’ll be smashed to pieces!”

The surrounding noise perfectly masked his voice, but to the hypnotized man, the hypnotist’s voice was thunderous.

“Ah!”

The man, who was about to be pulled onto the platform by the red-jacketed man and the high school student, suddenly screamed and fell back with all his weight, pushing the two of them hard. The passengers on the platform were shocked, and at that moment, the subway arrived. Amidst the piercing screams, all three were crushed to death.

Warm blood splashed onto Ji Changxin’s slowly emerging sinister smile. At that moment, he felt awakened… Yes, he was immensely powerful. He could eliminate anyone he didn’t like. He had no need to endure.

The aftermath of the tragedy spread across the platform. Passengers were clueless about what had happened. Some cried out of fear, while others passionately recounted their eyewitness accounts: “That guy must have had a screw loose to push those two people back!” “He must have wanted to die and dragged two others with him, how wicked!”

Ji Changxin wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve. It was time to go home. He planned to have a nice drink tonight and a good sleep. Tomorrow…

Ji Changxin’s gaze suddenly fell on a middle school-aged girl by a pillar, staring at him with fear, as if she were looking at a murderer. Their eyes met for just a second before she turned and ran.

Damn, did she see something!?

Ji Changxin thought in panic. She must be going to the police now.

He couldn’t let this potential threat escape, so he quickly followed her up the stairs. The girl was squeezed in the crowd leaving the station, constantly looking back as she walked. Ji Changxin pushed through the crowd, following her closely. She crossed the street, walking quickly along the sidewalk. Ji Changxin kept a close watch on her every move, especially if she was texting or calling.

The girl entered an alley. Ji Changxin’s mind was in turmoil. If he didn’t deal with her here, he wouldn’t get another chance. But what if she didn’t see anything? He hadn’t pushed the man himself. Even if she saw him giving orders, a middle school girl might not understand what she saw.

No, he couldn’t take the risk. Better to kill by mistake than let her go. He had already killed three people; one more wouldn’t matter.

Famous ethicist Wu Song once said, “Killing one is death, killing a hundred is also death.”

No turning back now. Screw it!

Ji Changxin rushed forward. The girl, sensing someone chasing her, screamed and ran. Ji Changxin sped up. The girl’s school uniform skirt and shoes were inconvenient for running. Even an old and cowardly Ji Changxin was like a fierce beast to a young girl.

As Ji Changxin caught up, the girl screamed, “Help—” but before she could finish, Ji Changxin had her in a chokehold with his coat. He began his induction, but the girl struggled violently, making it impossible to properly guide her.

The struggle lasted about ten seconds before she passed out from suffocation. Ji Changxin placed her on the ground, his heart pounding, and looked around. Good, no one saw.

He confirmed the girl’s unconscious state and began guiding her in a gentle yet commanding voice: “You feel completely relaxed. You’re lying in a warm body of water, very comfortable, very warm. You can only hear my voice, like light enveloping you…”

The girl’s eyes rolled continuously. This process lasted only a moment. As her breathing became steady, her expression turned peaceful, as if she were asleep.

Ji Changxin held the girl’s right hand up. He continued, “Now I’ll count to three, and you will enter a deep hypnotic state. One, two, three!” He let go, and her right hand remained suspended in the air, indicating she was hypnotized.

Ji Changxin sighed in relief. He finally had a moment to appraise the girl’s body. She was a young girl in her prime, slender and delicate. Her skin was smooth and elastic, even the pimples and freckles on her face were signs of youth. She exuded a girlish fragrance.

The words “beautiful girl” held immense attraction for a lonely old man.

Originally, he planned to give her a command to walk onto the road and get hit by a car. But now Ji Changxin had changed his mind. It would be a waste for such a beautiful girl to be turned into a mangled corpse by a car. She could provide a wonderful night instead.

“What’s your name?”

The hypnotized girl replied blankly, “Fan Lixue.”

“Fan Lixue, stand up and follow me.”

Under his command, the girl stood up like a puppet and followed Ji Changxin.

An hour later, she was brought to Ji Changxin’s single apartment. He closed the door and eagerly looked her over, hands hovering beside her arms like he was examining a delicate gift, an enticing red apple just ripe for the picking.

Even hypnosis couldn’t make someone do things against their moral limits, such as stripping, killing, or committing suicide.

Fan Lixue, feeling she was in an unfamiliar environment, was desperately trying to wake up…
