Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 254 - 88: Suicide

The buildings near University City were built many years ago, back when there weren’t skyscrapers with dozens of floors, and having ten-odd floors was already impressive.

The noise came from a nine-story building.

Nine floors, one unit with four apartments, yet there was only one elevator.

Seeing the elevator stuck on the fifth floor and not moving for a long time, Lu Huanhuan gritted her silver teeth and dashed toward the stairs, heading straight for the rooftop.

"Bang!"

She pushed open the wooden door on the rooftop and, gasping for breath, looked toward the scene.

The night wind was strong,

and very cold.

A young man dressed as a waiter had already climbed up the exterior wall of the tall building and was standing shakily, looking down.

"Don’t!"

Besides the young man who wanted to die, there was a pregnant woman, sprawled on the ground, crying out loudly to the young man:

"Zheng Kuo, don’t do it!"

The woman was very beautiful, even without any makeup, despite looking haggard, her good looks still surpassed most women of her age.

"Stop!"

The rush had left Lu Huanhuan’s throat dry, so she hastily extended her hand and said:

"Friend, you are still young, any difficulties can be overcome, what has happened that makes you want to end it all?"

"Yes!"

Residents in the opposite building shouted:

"Think about your parents, your loved ones, how sad they will be if you die."

"There are many good things in this world, music, movies, travel... Why resort to such measures at such a young age?"

Damn!

Lu Huanhuan’s expression changed slightly.

The reason why suicidal people take their lives is largely due to parents and loved ones, mentioning this would not help.

It might even provoke the person.

As expected.

"Parents?"

Zheng Kuo smiled bitterly at the words:

"They went down long ago!"

"Relatives?"

He shook his head, face full of resentment:

"Since my family suffered misfortune, they’ve been wishing for my death!"

"It seems you’ve encountered some change in your life, which is why you’re so troubled." Lu Huanhuan slowly approached, cautiously saying:

"Can we talk it over?"

"I believe unless absolutely necessary, no one will choose this path, honestly... I have thought about suicide before too."

"Who are you?" Zheng Kuo looked aside, raising his voice:

"Don’t come closer, if you do, I’ll jump right away!"

"Just a passerby." Lu Huanhuan stopped, raising her hands:

"Don’t act rashly."

"Zheng Kuo." The woman on the ground raised her head and cried out:

"Don’t do it!"

"Things have come to this, how much worse can it get? You still have me, have the child, we can have a good life together."

Zheng Kuo’s expression changed slightly, showing some hesitation in his eyes.

There’s hope!

Lu Huanhuan’s eyes brightened, cautiously approaching again:

"That should be your wife, right? She’s carrying your child, what will they do if something happens to you?"

"If something happens to you, your enemies will be happy, but those who truly care about you will be saddened."

"You don’t understand!" Zheng Kuo lowered his head, his body trembling:

"None of you understand!"

"Yes." Lu Huanhuan nodded:

"Different experiences, it’s hard for others to understand you, why not share your thoughts?"

The opponent’s emotions were too unstable, and she was not a professional negotiator, at present she just hoped to delay for the Public Security Bureau to set up.

Listening,

is the best persuasion.

Downstairs.

Fang Zheng looked up, concentrating his eyes and ears, even at a distance of nine floors, the figures and voices above were still clearly distinguishable to him.

Like the world had switched to high definition, like putting on glasses for severe myopia.

A blurred scene suddenly became clear.

Zheng Kuo?

He smiled faintly, unmoved.

On the rooftop.

"Ha..."

Zheng Kuo sneered, his eyes empty and vacant:

"None of you understand."

He clenched his fists, his voice ethereal, like in a dream:

"My past life felt like being in heaven, whatever I wanted, I could get, everyone revolved around me."

"Beauties, wine, gourmet food..."

"Everything was within reach!"

"Do you understand that feeling?"

"Ah!"

He roared loudly, his body shaking intensely.

Lu Huanhuan squinted.

That feeling...

She truly understood!

It was an enchanting feeling, even if reckless and lawless, someone would help her settle things.

The world,

felt like a game.

And she,

was like a high-level VIP with cheats enabled!

It was a life entirely different from ordinary people, above and rich...

"Before."

Zheng Kuo smiled bitterly:

"I could spend tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands on a meal, women would come by every day, finding ways to entertain, and if unhappy, I could always find something to cheer me up."

"Really?" Lu Huanhuan’s expression turned cold as she asked:

"Where now?"

"Now?" Zheng Kuo opened his eyes wide, loudly roaring:

"I work tirelessly, barely earning over five thousand a month, a year’s earnings are not even enough for one of my previous meals!"

"The place I live in..."

"Squeezed in with a dozen others, the smell..."

"Xiuxiu!"

He looked at Zhao Xiuxiu, his face contorted:

"I tried to start over, listened to you wanting a good life, but... that feeling of falling from heaven is something you can never understand!"

"In this lifetime..."

"I’ll never return to those times."

"If I started my life like this perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad, but the despair of never returning after tasting such a life is... true despair!"

Zheng Kuo raised his hands, trembling all over, streaming with tears.

Day after day working, enduring pains once unimaginable, the year’s harvest not even akin to what he’d spend on one meal.

No going back!

Never going back!

The rest of his life visible at a glance, never a day of progress, like endless darkness enveloping him tightly.
