Chapter 2545: Rustling Down (Part 40)
Sivana covered his eyes and twitched as he fell to the ground. Blood began to gush from his eye sockets. He kept scratching his eyelids with his hands, leaving small scars.
In his spiritual vision, something in his eyes began to respond to that evil power, as if it couldn't wait to gush out, while Sivana was desperately using his hands to block the power that wanted to escape.
But just like the dilution principle, high-concentration energy will eventually diffuse to low-concentration areas. The Seven Deadly Sins, stimulated and reacting, were not satisfied with staying in the same energy core and began to extend tentacles toward the outside world.
Sivana heard a very light 'bang'. In his extremely blurred vision, he looked up and saw a black object appear before his eyes, and behind it was the toe of Shiler's shoe.
It was an umbrella.
The moment he saw the umbrella, Sivana calmed down, but it wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he couldn't move anymore. The incredibly complex yet very clear text on the umbrella surface attracted all his attention.
The moment his gaze fell on the umbrella, the power of the Seven Deadly Sins in his eyes could no longer be contained and poured out, surging toward the umbrella.
One evil shadow after another cheered and ran toward the umbrella, as happy as if they had found a new home. Sivana kept screaming and reaching out in that direction, wanting to recover the lost power, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.
Sivana's vision on one side gradually blurred and went dark. He knew he had lost an eye forever, and also lost the power that could make those damn people who said he wasn't worthy pay the price.
But it seemed that someone in the dark had heard his inner voice.
"You were never the master of power, only the slave of power. Will people look at a slave with admiration?"
Like a devil's whisper.
"Of course they won't. They will only stand in their righteous position and say you are incredibly evil, because in their view, 'not competing' is the greatest justice."
"You cannot have desires, cannot want to climb. Only by staying in place and waiting for others to bestow can you show that you are naturally noble and different. If not, then everything is the evil snatching of things you don't deserve."
"By what right..." Sivana gritted his teeth and said.
"By the fact that they hold the right to speak." A low laugh came, and the voice continued: "Those powers you cannot control at all can only destroy yourself, letting them stand on your bones and triumphantly say you deserve it."
"I want to kill them..."
"But you cannot make them admit their mistakes. Before they die, they will still feel that they were harmed by evil people, and you will eventually get retribution one day."
Sivana was silent. He knew things would definitely develop this way. He knew that the old man who said he was never worthy back then wouldn't feel he was wrong before he died, only scolding him for being blinded by evil and eventually meeting retribution.
But by what right?
They were the source of his tragedy. In order to reverse the tragedy, he made efforts unimaginable to ordinary people, but he could never get rid of the nightmare of that day. He just wanted everyone to know that no one is born unworthy.
Sivana heard a noisy sound. It seemed that many, many people had rushed in. He heard some people arguing, breaking out into fierce quarrels, and finally everything returned to calm.
When he woke up again, what he saw was the white ceiling of the hospital. A group of people surrounded him, looking at him with worried eyes. The most eye-catching was a gaze from gray eyes.
Shiler was sitting by his bed.
But the first to speak was not this professor, but another acquaintance of Sivana, Mayor Luo Yi.
"Thaddeus, what's wrong with you? You said your eyes had problems before, why didn't you hurry to the hospital to see them? Now it's like this, right?"
Someone behind pulled Luo Yi. Luo Yi pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and said: "But even so, it's not the reason for that damn guy to hurt you. I will definitely make him look good."
Luo Yi, who walked out of the gang era, still carried some underworld habits in his speech and actions. He was more like a gang boss than anyone else, appearing completely out of place among a group of refined professors and students.
Yes, Sivana looked around and realized that those who surrounded him and looked at him worriedly were all teachers and students of Cat Getan University.
He said like a conditioned reflex: "Sorry, I delayed your time. Should the project team be going smoothly? Please tell the administration office to let them call the project team that will negotiate later and postpone the time..."
"It's already like this, don't think about work." Victor on the other side of the bed sighed and handed Sivana a mirror.
Sivana saw his right eye completely wrapped in bandages, and even half of his face was wrapped in bandages. This result was not unexpected, so he just sighed and put down the mirror.
"The doctor said the tissue of your right eyeball itself was in bad condition and had already fibrosed, and then it suffered a strong external impact, so the injury is very serious. They had to remove your right eye, otherwise, the left eye wouldn't be saved either."
Shiler announced the result in a slightly sad tone. Sivana became more familiar with his voice the more he listened, so he stared at him with his only remaining eye.
Officer Clay is also too much, a student behind said indignantly: "Even if the serial killer case is very serious, you can't use torture to extract a confession! Principal, you must complain about him!"
"It's not as simple as complaining." Luo Yi snorted and said: "Using force to cause disability in violation of regulations during the investigation process, you will soon see him in court."
"Don't worry too much." Victor adjusted the hospital bed for Sivana and said: "Several project partners are willing to postpone the negotiation time for your illness. The project is ultimately ours."
"As for our own work, it's not a matter of a moment. You should recuperate well, and it won't be too late to come to work after you recover."
"I think your staying up late to work overtime before might be one of the culprits for the deterioration of your eyeball condition." Shiler said: "If you continue to work overtime like this, what you lose won't just be an eye."
His tone was strange, as if hinting at something. Sivana was a smart man, and he immediately understood and said: "Everything is waiting to be done, and countless tasks are in my hands. Should I just watch?"
"Oh, by the way, John, are you John? Please help me run an errand later. There is a file in the second drawer on the left of my desk. It's about the lack of lighting coverage in the new campus. It can't be delayed, otherwise, it will be troublesome if someone falls while walking at night. You help me..."
"I don't have time!" The student who was pointed at took a big step back, shaking his head faster than a rattle, and said: "My girlfriend is getting married, I have to go to the wedding."
Sivana's gaze fell on a female student again. The female student also shook her head quickly and said: "I don't have time either, I have to go back to attend my father's coming-of-age ceremony."
For a time, Sivana looked at whoever shook their head. Some stared at the chandelier on the ceiling, some counted the patterns of the floor tiles, and no one dared to look him in the eye.
Although he knew this was just a bitter trick to maximize his injury, Sivana still felt his mood was a bit complicated and couldn't help but look at Shiler.
"You should recuperate with peace of mind." Luo Yi patted the guardrail of the hospital bed, with some murderous intent in his tone, and said: "I have only been away for a few days, and such a scum actually appeared in the Cat Getan Police Department. I must talk to Gordon properly. You just wait."
After saying that, he got up and left. Before he walked out of the room, he took out his mobile phone. The people in the room only heard his voice moving away.
"Hello? Harvey? You're not busy, right? Please come to the City Hall, I have something to consult..."
Soon, the flowers and gifts brought by the students piled up on the bedside. In order not to disturb the principal's rest, they soon left. Finally, only Sivana lying on the bed and Shiler sitting by the bed were left.
Sivana was silent for a while.
He wasn't thinking about what happened that day at all, just staring at a bouquet of flowers that were in full bloom and stuffed into his arms, his eyes empty as if he wasn't thinking about anything.
Until Shiler reached out and waved in front of his eyes.
Sivana came back to his senses, looked at Shiler with his only remaining eye, and asked: "What happened that day?"
"Are you talking about what happened when you fainted?"
Shiler also recalled. Seeing Sivana fall, the smile at the corner of his mouth stayed on his face for less than a second. He sewed up the loopholes in his human skin as fast as he could, made a shocked expression, and took two steps back.
Clay's angle was blocked by the sofa, and he couldn't see what happened to Sivana who fell down, so he immediately rushed over, and the result was that he saw Shiler take out his mobile phone.
"What are you doing?" Clay stared at him and asked.
"What am I doing?" Shiler pretended to be shocked and asked back: "Someone fainted here, of course I'm calling an ambulance."
Clay was choked by him and said: "No need for an ambulance, there are police cars outside, we can..."
"Do you know what disease he has? Do you know his condition? If he dies in the police car, what are you going to do?" Shiler narrowed his eyes and looked at Clay, saying: "I can completely understand that you attacked Principal Sivana on impulse, but if you don't even let me call an ambulance, I can only suspect that you want to kill him to silence him."
"When did I..."
"Officer, please don't forget, you are also one of the suspects. Just from the unusually fast police response speed after Principal Sivana called, I can also make up a reasonable story that you are the murderer."
"For example, the postman had to enter and exit the crime scene in violation of regulations in order to fulfill his duties, which angered you. My neighbor, Mr. Piero, helped him say a few words and also entered your hunting list."
"As a well-trained criminal police officer, killing is much simpler for you than for us. You have a stun gun and can subdue the other party at the fastest speed. You are strong and fit, and the speed of dismembering the body is very fast. You are a police officer, the profession least likely to be suspected."
"So you killed the postman first, destroyed the corpse, and after killing Mr. Piero, you dismembered him and threw him into Principal Sivana's yard. After going around in a circle, you rushed over at the fastest speed after receiving the report, wanting to know if Principal Sivana saw the traces of you throwing the corpse."
"You have no evidence!" Clay roared.
"You don't have any either." Shiler looked at that arm and said: "If you want to convict me with this, then we'll see each other in court. But before that, you'd better go ask your superior if he is willing to sacrifice a dark line position that has been lurking for so long and take insufficient evidence to confront me in court just because you handled things like this."
Clay stared at Shiler fiercely. Shiler didn't care at all. The flashing lights of the ambulance shone in from the window, and the cold and warm intertwined light flowed constantly on the undulating side face. In the last bit of the gap where the human skin was sewn, he wantonly poured out his malice.
"This is your usual method of pulling people into the gang: creating cases, framing, making the other party fall into a vortex of inability to prove their innocence, and forcing them to be used by you after being pushed to the brink."
"When I was young, I once witnessed such methods, but you wouldn't want to know what I did in those cases that were investigated and could be called my stains." ===== CHAPTER 2546 =====
