I stared at him blankly. I couldn't remember how I felt at that time. Although I don't like him, I don't want
to get him into trouble. I always feel that since the murderer dared to let them come, he must have a
way to deal with them. In any case, he would not give himself any trouble.
I asked in an unfriendly tone, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't talk to me anymore? Why are you still
here?"
"Humph!" Erwin glanced at me and said, "Even if I'm a stranger to you, I won't refuse to help you when
you are in great danger. Besides, you've turned to me for help."
I didn't want to get him into trouble, so I said, "I didn't send the message. You'd better leave now."
Erwin's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "You really don't want me to save you? You want to die here?"
The murderer came to me from behind, picked up his dagger and pressed it against my throat. "Have
you two finished talking?" he asked in a cold voice.
Erwin rolled his eyes at the murderer. "If you have something to say, say it. How can you let go of this
woman? Just tell me. Don't always frighten her with a dagger. She's a coward."
Sure enough, the man stopped talking nonsense. "It's very simple. Cut off one of your fingers now, and
I'll let her go immediately."
Erwin asked with a relaxed face, "Is it that simple?"
The man nodded and said, "For the sake of you being my boss and treating me well, I will not make
things difficult for you."
"Okay, no problem."
Erwin didn't even blink his eyes.
He reached out his hand and said to the man, "Give me the dagger."
The man threw the dagger towards his direction. As soon as Erwin raised his hand, he grabbed it in his
own hand.
Seeing that the dagger in his hand was about to cut towards his finger, I panicked and shouted at him,
"Are you crazy, Erwin?"
Erwin raised his chin and looked at me arrogantly. "It's just a finger. It's not as precious as your life."
Before I could stop him, I saw that Erwin cut off a finger with the dagger.
At that time, Erwin didn't even frown, but pretended that it was none of his business. He picked up the
falling finger with a smile.
Even if I didn't have any feelings for him, I still felt extremely guilty and sad when I saw him doing this
for me.
Tears fell down from my eyes in an instant, and my heart ached. I would rather be the one who had lost
my fingers.
I asked with my eyes full of tears, "I don't like you. Why are you doing this? I hate you very much. Do
you know that? Why are you doing this? I don't want to be entangled with you. I don't want to owe you
a favor. Go away. Get out!"
Erwin was still smiling widely and looked at me jokingly. "What's the matter? Are you crying? Do you
feel sorry for me? Little help shall bring much return, right? Besides, it's not a 'little help'. It's a real
finger of me."
While saying, Erwin showed his finger two times in front of me.
"The other two men haven't come yet. They should be cowards. They don't care about you as much as
I do. Even if they come, they must have been scared away if they are asked cut their fingers. What's
more, I don't think that they won't even blink when their fingers are cut off like me."
Looking at the man in front of me, I not only felt that I owed him for that finger, but also felt angry that
he couldn't be serious even at this time.
"What do you think? Do you want to marry me and be my 'missing finger'?"
The tears in the corner of my eyes hadn't dried up, but I was so enraged by his words that I glared at
him angrily. I gritted my teeth and asked him, "Are you here to save me, or to take advantage of me?"
"No, I'm a gentleman. Don't take me as a villain."
As Erwin spoke, he threw the bloody finger and the dagger back to the man. "David, I have given you
what you want. Can you let her go now?"
"Release her? Ha-ha, if I let her go, won't you go to the police when you go out? You mean you won't
let the police arrest me? Do you really think I'm as crazy as you? You can do anything stupid for a
woman, but I won't."
Erwin pursed his lips. "What else do you want? Do you want to tie me up and not let me go?"
"That's exactly what I want," he snorted.
Erwin scratched his head. "Why are you so insatiable?"
David put the dagger against my neck again.
Erwin waved at him impatiently. "I told you not to scare her. She's a coward."
"Surrender now. I promise you that I won't let her die in pain, but if you want to resist, I'll cut her into
pieces."
I thought Erwin was the leader of the Lego and had so many men under his command. So I thought he
would be able to deal with this kind of people. At least he would find some ways to stop this murderer
and gain more time before the police came. But I didn't expect that Erwin would quickly turn his hands
back. He said, "Okay, I'll surrender, but you have to tie up the two of us together, and you must bury the
two of us at the place after you kill us."
"No problem." David sneered.
He stretched out his hand and pulled me hard. He then pulled out another rope and tied me back to
back with Erwin.
I didn't expect that things would go like this. Even though I knew it was in vain, I struggled hard for two
times. But Erwin, a strong man, didn't resist at all and was tied up with me.
"Are you an idiot, Erwin?"
"You can't say this to a man who has saved your life. I just cut off my fingers for you, and I was tied
here to die with you. How could you say that I am a fool in front of this bad guy?"
Although I didn't expect him to come first to rescue me, his arrival gave me a glimmer of hope. I
thought I could go out, but I didn't expect him to fall into the tragic end like me.
"You are really a fool. How could you save people like this? You have made me feel guilty for you. What
is worse, you have been tied up by the murderer too. What are you here for? Do you really want to
save me? Don't you have many men under your command? Why do you have to come alone?"
I couldn't see his expression, but he deliberately leaned against me.
I always felt that something was wrong with him.
Erwin said to David, "I have been tied up by you. Can you go out for a while and let the two of us have
a good talk before we die?"
As a murderer, he was actually very easy-going. "Okay, I'll give you some time to talk about your last
words with each other. If you've made it clear to each other, just call me and I'll send you to death at
any time."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
I couldn't believe what I saw.
