Chapter 23 The Reckoning
She learned how to break into homes from the internet.
Not long ago, she dealt with the first target living above us.
She shaved his head, cut off his Finger, and smashed his teeth.
Just as they had done to my sister back then.
Because it was her first time, she was clumsy and even lost the knife and bracelet.
She was good at erasing traces but not at handling bodies.
Whatever she could not finish, I took care of.
She avenged my sister. I cleaned up after her.
While she was investigating those people, they had already set their sights on her.
Once they learned she was the only witness, they would not let her go even if she really was a Blind Person.
Two nights ago, two of them finally came to the door.
They waited until my Girlfriend and I were not home.
One slipped into the house. The other stood watch in the Stairwell.
Both ended up dead by my hand.
She saw everything I did to move the bodies.
She understood I had removed two threats for her.
I never exposed her blindness. She never exposed my actions.
So she responded in her own way.
When I used gas to kill, she held me back for an extra half hour.
When I went downstairs to deal with the bodies, she followed to keep watch for me.
She deliberately let me see the blood seeping down from upstairs as a test.
The severed Finger hidden in the Peephole was my best reply.
Two nights ago, she tried to get me to tell my story.
I told her it was too long and I would finish it later.
Last night was her birthday. She asked if I had been busy lately, testing me again.
I gave her a matching bracelet to replace the one she had lost.
Neither of us tore through that thin layer between us, yet we already understood each other completely.
When she killed the person in Building 4, Unit 704 of Juyuan Residential Complex, I disposed of the body. We worked together without a single flaw.
She planned to handle the person in Building 2, Unit 603 alone. She put sleeping pills in my milk.
She had miscalculated the number of targets. The other three had gathered together.
Because I knew that, I entered the apartment ahead of her and struck at the critical moment.
Now all the enemies were gone.
I finally told my Girlfriend the rest of her story.
I also brought the truth about my sister back to the grave.
