Chapter 350 The most important point in writing a letter
The other party's special ability must be related to memory, but no one knows what kind of special ability it is. If it is a powerful special ability like reading memory, then the minister will definitely come to see me again, because if her memory is read by people from the Ministry of Public Security, the fact that the deputy director and the minister helped Su Ming will be exposed.
“Ku ...
The familiar metallic noise appeared again and the iron door was opened again.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Sylvie stood at the door for a while and smiled at Flora. When Flora saw her, she felt inexplicably relaxed.
The minister is really a strange person. Although he always has a smile on his face, she can read different emotions from seemingly similar expressions. Just like now, she feels that the minister should have brought good news.
"You're so impulsive. I didn't expect you to work so hard. Don't you want revenge?"
"This is more important than revenge." Flora replied, "Minister, you came to me... It should be about memory. What should I do with my memory?"
"Don't worry, the deputy director has worked in the alliance for so long, she must have some connections. She knows someone in charge of this matter in the Ministry of Public Security. The psychic who tested your memory is his subordinate. She already told him yesterday that he will not tell anyone about us after testing your memory.
Of course, you can't do it. We can't save you. What you did is too obvious. If we let that person forcibly excuse you, perhaps the alliance will change the person interrogating , which will involve more people. We must have a scapegoat."
Flora nodded slightly to show her understanding, and then asked the question that concerned her most.
"Once this crime is confirmed, what kind of punishment will I receive?"
"We will give you a choice: let you perform very dangerous tasks, or be imprisoned for a period of time and then executed. If your abnormality is very low, then perhaps we can help you get a life sentence, but your abnormality is too high, and the loss drug that suppresses your ability is expensive. The Alliance will not waste these resources on a prisoner.
If you are a true noble, then as long as your family is willing to give up some interests to cooperate with the alliance, release is not a big deal, but I guess the Osborn family will not sacrifice their own interests for you... Of course, even if they are willing, there is no chance. This time the situation is different from the past. The deputy director said that there is a third party involved. "
"That doesn't sound so bad," Flora muttered.
Sylvie smiled and nodded: "It's not that bad. With your ability, as long as it's not an unconventional mission, your chances of survival are still very high."
Flora nodded and said nothing, and both sides fell into a mysterious silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Flora asked, "Minister, do you have anything else to say?"
"There's nothing important to tell you, but I have something personal to say to you. I want to ask...is there anything you want me to do for you?" Sylvie asked.
Flora stared at her in confusion, so Sylvie explained, "Although you have a high chance of surviving the mission, you may also die. To put it bluntly, do you have any wishes that you want me to fulfill for you?"
Hearing this, Flora fell into deep thought. To be honest, she had never thought about such a thing as a wish. When she was very young, her wish was to work hard to cultivate her superpowers, become a powerful superpower user, and gain recognition from her family. At that time, she didn't know that the family hated her not because of her weakness, but because of her identity.
Later, when she grew up a little and guessed the twin hypothesis, her wish became to let Milo live as long as possible and let her mother get the minimum respect . However, this wish disappeared not long ago. Now Flora has only one wish, and that is revenge.
But revenge...
"if--"
"Haha, if you want me to help you get revenge, forget it. The aftermath of this matter is extremely difficult." Sylvie interrupted with a smile, "Change someone else."
"Then can you help me take good care of my mother? After I die, the Osborne family will have no reason to continue to control my mother. If you go to negotiate, they may let you take my mother away. Then you can give her the money I saved and let her open a small shop on any livable island, or help her buy a property and let her collect rent."
"I will try to help you with this matter. What else?" Sylvie continued to ask.
Flora lowered her head and thought for a while, then shook her head, indicating that she couldn't think of anything.
Sylvie took out a piece of paper from her pocket and unfolded it on the table, then took out an envelope.
"Don't you have anything you want to say to Su Ming? If you don't prepare before you die, you will never have a chance after you die."
Flora was slightly moved, staring at the letter in front of her and fell into a long silence.
Sylvie noticed her mood swings, stood up and helped her untie the belt that bound her hands, took out a pen from her chest pocket and gently placed it on the table: "Write it and put it in the envelope. I'll come to pick it up in the evening."
The iron door creaked again and closed. Flora picked up the pen, stared at the white paper under the pen, and thought about what she should write on it.
Indeed, she had many things in her heart that she wanted Su Ming to know, and these things could not be said out loud normally. But since this letter could only be handed over after her death, then Su Ming could also know those words.
The tip of the pen had just touched the paper when she suddenly stopped writing. She realized that the meaning of this letter might be different from what she understood. The nature of this letter was similar to a suicide note, which meant peace of mind to the deceased before he or she died. However, its meaning to the living was not particularly obvious. Sometimes the deceased's last wish could even be a burden and could become a knot in the hearts of the living.
Flora didn't want Su Ming to change anything for her after reading this letter, so the words she wanted to write were actually meaningless.
The key lies in what Su Ming will think when he sees the contents of the letter, and what she hopes Su Ming will think.
"Then let's write it like this." Flora had an idea.
[Su Ming, by the time you see this letter, I may have died in a dangerous mission, but don't mind. This is not a bad ending for my already failed life. My luck has never been good.
I have been carrying a curse since I was born. Due to my physical condition, my younger brother is destined to die for me.
Looking back on the first half of my life, I have spent almost all of it trying to make up for this innate sense of guilt. Apart from eliminating the guilt in my heart, I don’t have many desires.
Now that I think about it, it was probably because I knew at the time that I would never be able to achieve my first goal in my lifetime, so I lost the motivation . If I hadn’t met you, I might have been stuck in this cycle of working hard, then failing, and then working hard again.
One thought that occurred to me early in life was that it would have been nice if Milo had died before my twin hypothesis occurred.
These vicious thoughts often appeared in my mind uncontrollably, and enduring the torture brought by these thoughts took up more of my energy than pursuing a way to cure Milo. When a person is trapped in an inescapable cycle, the only way to get out is to become someone else.
If I want to break out of that cycle, I have to become someone who values the lives of my family members. As long as I become that kind of person, there will be no problem.
But if it cannot be changed, then you will be trapped in it, and there is no other way... unless there is an external force to break this deadlock.
To me, you are that external force. To this day, I am still grateful to you. Although I cannot understand your motives for helping me, I am glad that there are people like you in the world. I lied to you and wanted to use you, but you still tried your best to help me. Even my father didn't do that.
Thinking about it carefully, there is actually not much more I want to say. I believe that the person who can help me like that will not be the murderer in the video.
But if, if just in case, you really are that kind of person, then think about it, if time could go back, back to when you and I first met, and start over again, would you still help me? If your answer is the same, then you are still that Su Ming.
There must be many people like me in this world. If you meet them, will you help them like you helped me? 】
After Flora wrote the last sentence, the pen remained suspended in the air for a full minute before being put down.
At times like this, the most difficult thing to control is not having nothing to write, but the strong desire to talk.
At the most emotional moment, it is indeed a bit difficult to use the most rational thinking to think about what can be written and what cannot be written.
Flora sighed after writing the letter. She didn't feel relieved at all. There were many things she wanted to say in her heart that she didn't write down. She thought there was no need to let Su Ming see those words after her death. Su Ming just needed to see a suicide note like this one.
Flora believed that this letter would be of some help to Su Ming. If Su Ming was really the murderer in the video but had lost his memory, then after knowing the truth, he would most likely atone for his past crimes, which was exactly what she did not want to see.
No matter what he did in the past, as long as Su Ming was still the Su Ming who would selflessly help strangers, he should not give his life for the memory that he had already forgotten.
If such an extreme situation really happened and she was already dead by then, she hoped that after her death, Su Ming would read this letter and become strong, forget the past and accept himself now.
This letter can be regarded as the reward for her final efforts.
"Okay, it's okay." Flora reread it and felt that the emotions revealed between the lines were just right. This calm farewell was very suitable for her relationship with Su Ming.
She folded the letter and stuffed it into the envelope , then took a deep breath… She had tried her best, and now there was nothing she could do.
