Chapter 1 He took her from the slum.
The Loony Island on the border of country A was an isolated island and a slum.
Old people, severely disabled people and mental patients who had no self-care ability and no one to rely on would be thrown to this island to fend for themselves.
There was no network, no electricity, and no supplies of daily necessities here. There was no law and no control, either.
This was a living hell.
The dark sky covered the island like black cloth.
Under a dying old tree, a young girl huddled on the ground, her fragile body was covered with white clothes, and her little face was horribly pale and stained with blood under her long hair.
Marlene bit her nails, and her black and white eyes looked at the front calmly and indifferently. Some people ran naked;
Someone jumped into the sea and tried to swim and escape outside
Some people couldn't stand it, silently sharpened stones and cut their wrists.
Such scenes had been common since she was thrown here by the Evans three years ago. She was the adopted daughter of the Evans.
She didn't know that the Evans adopted her only for they believed a fortune-teller until three years ago. Selena Evans, the real daughter of the Evans was foretold that she would live hard all her life when she was born. When she was a child, she would be susceptible to diseases and disasters. At the age of eighteen, she would suffer a big calamity and then die in another country.
Only by finding a person who had the same time and horoscopes of birth to prevent Selena's doom, could Selena escape from the calamity. Marlene was the one who helped prevent it
When she was a child, the Evans would give her a mess of medicine, which made her suffer constantly. When she was eighteen years old, she was forcibly sent by the Evans to get engaged to an old man
She resisted desperately, stabbed the old man who was nearly sixty with a fruit knife, and then tried to escape but failed. Then, she was sent to the Loony Island by the Evans.
In a flash, three years had passed.
Marlene also didn't know when she would die in a foreign land as the Evans’ wish.
"Click-click!"
Suddenly the sound of helicopters came from the sky.
Marlene raised her head and saw ~~ dozens oF planes hovering over the island. The sound of propeller rotation almost pierced peopte’ s eardrums with great momentum.
What was going on here?
The plane Stopped at the seaside, anda group of people with mental diseases rushed up curiously, > surrounded the plane and tried to climb up, which looked like d@ad rising. . -
"Bang." "Bang." "Bang."
After a few deafening gunshots, the birds and animals in the forest were scattered, and people fell down one by one, with huge blood holes on their foreheads
Someone screamed.
From a distance, she could see a group of men in suits, with guns in their hands.
Marlene slowly tightened her body, as well as her lips. Was it the country that finally decided to destroy them humanely? Was she dying? What was the significance of her living in this world? Was it really just to block the calamity for Selena?
She refused to accept it. She would never accept it!
She wanted to survive and revenge!
"Mr. Lynch, it isfar away from the shack in thedenter of the slum. Most of them are mental patients,-> They are-expelled to the seaside By normahpeople, and the annuale mortality rate of them is as high as 50%." ~~ oa
Two rows of men with guns took the lead in walking inte a withered and yellow forest.
Marlene sat stiffly under the tree—the muzzle of a rifle facing her direction
It seemed that she was the next dead person.
She looked down and saw a pair of shiny pointed leather shoes stepping on the fallen leaves, making a crisp noise and passing in front of her. Suddenly, the sound of falling leaves being trampled came to an abrupt end, and the shoes changed direction towards her.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The owner of leather shoes was facing her.
A glance fell on her.
Marlene suddenly felt the overwhelming oppression and cramped feeling, which made her breathless.
"Is she mentally ill?"
The man's low, cool voice with the innate dignity and arrogance, which was very penetrating made her suddenly shiver.
