He was so frightened that he cried loudly: “Claudia, I beg you… give me a good time and shoot me, I beg you! If you burn me today, later You will live in the shadows all your life! You don’t want your conscience to be tortured day and night in the future, right?!”
Claudia shook her head and said firmly: “I want to look forward, I don’t want to live in hatred for the rest of my life. After watching you burn to ashes with my own eyes, I won’t hate you anymore!”
After all, she took out a loud sound lighter from her pocket that she had been preparing for months.
This was her father’s favorite lighter when he was alive. When the lid was opened, it would make a crisp crashing sound.
In the past, every time she heard this sound, she knew that her father was smoking again, so she would go to her father and say a few words.
Since her father died, she has bought a lighter of the same style. Every day when she misses her parents the most, she takes out this lighter, listening to the familiar voice, watching the flickering fire, and recalling the time when she was with her family. happy time.
She even planned to use this meaningful lighter to die with Guo Lei.
At this moment, she gently pushed open the metal cover of the lighter, and the lighter dinged again.
The crisp sound echoed in the empty warehouse, and it had a somewhat melodious feeling.
At this moment, Claudia felt that the whole world slowed down.
She slowly rubbed the slender roller on the side of the lighter, and the sparks from the flint also slowly spewed out in her eyes.
The next moment, the spark ignited the gas continuously released by the lighter, and with a puff, a slender and strong flame sprang up.
In the flickering firelight, she saw Guo Lei’s face that was completely distorted from extreme fear, and heard Guo Lei’s hysterical cries.
She raised her head, looked away from the firelight, turned to look at Guo Lei, smiled with relief, reached out and threw the burning lighter towards Guo Lei.
With a bang, a fire ignited from Guo Lei’s body.
Just like the flame of the loud lighter just now, it was instantly magnified countless times.
Guo Lei’s tragic cry became stronger, but gradually disappeared.
At this moment, Claudia seemed to see the appearance of her parents and two younger brothers from the raging fire.
She remembered the bedtime stories her mother told her by the bedside when she was a child.
The poor little girl who sold matches, in the light and shadow of the matches, vaguely saw the appearance of her dead grandmother.
Uncontrollable tears poured out, making her vision blurred.
However, although the line of sight in front of him was extremely blurred, the appearance of his parents and younger brothers became clearer.
She saw the young mother smiling at her, the serious father, like a child, quietly hiding his hand holding the cigarette under the table, and the two young brothers running towards her excitedly.
At this moment, the world seemed to stagnate in her eyes.
