Untitled Part 11 The Pact on Island and Mysterious Restraint

As soon as Alexander Reed finished speaking, he stepped back.The tense body suddenly relaxed. Finally, Lila Bennett remembered his body's instincts and began to breathe rapidly.Lying on the couch, he was shaken to the core by the huge impact of seeing Alexander Reed again. It seemed that all the waiting in this month had been for this moment.Just now they were so close. He felt Alexander Reed's light breathing and also observed Alexander Reed's lips opening and closing when speaking.The other party's pale complexion and handsome face were nowhere the same as those pictures he had searched on the Internet, and also quite different from those exaggerated film and television materials.Under Alexander Reed's perfect lip line, there were no pair of frightening fangs.A child who is easily frightened.This sentence made Lila Bennett slightly annoyed. He couldn't figure out if he had been teased by Alexander Reed.Just like that night by the lake, Alexander Reed's appearance was always so silent that it was hard not to be startled.He sat up blushing. Before he could prove his courage, Alexander Reed threw a blanket that was originally on the couch over his head.Lila Bennett: "... "The truth was that he was easily frightened and also easily felt cold."Wear it." Alexander Reed briefly explained the intention of giving him the blanket and said, "Tell me what has happened in Wutong. You are so scared that you dare not come to Du Island."In the email, Lila Bennett didn't describe things in great detail. He only said that there had been a murder case in Wutong. Recently, it was not suitable to travel far. So he wanted to suspend his plan to come to Du Island.This matter has not been publicly reported and may not have spread to Du Island.As soon as Alexander Reed asked, Lila Bennett forgot the teasing just now and involuntarily told everything."There have been several murders in Wutong recently.""Those victims are all like me. They have had a history of blood donation recently. And their wounds are all on the neck... It seems that they were bitten to death." When he said this, Lila Bennett looked up at Alexander Reed.The other party was also looking at him.Lila Bennett didn't see any emotional fluctuations of Alexander Reed regarding this matter in Alexander Reed's eyes.Alexander Reed was as calm as listening to a weather forecast.And was waiting for him to continue.He quickly continued, "The modus operandi is very cruel. The police have extracted the residual DNA of the murderer from the wounds, but for the time being there is still no—"Alexander Reed interrupted him, "With the current technology, clues to solve the case can be found at the latest next month."Lila Bennett was surprised.Alexander Reed said indifferently again, "Whether people can be caught is another matter."Lila Bennett lowered his head and added a sentence for himself, "So... it's a bit dangerous."The dock of Du Island is so far from the urban area, and there are few people in this season.So Ethan Cheng and his concerns are reasonable.But he heard Alexander Reed say, "So dangerous, yet it still can't stop you from going to work every night."Lila Bennett was momentarily choked up: "... "What Alexander Reed said was about the reminder from his contact in the email that he should not go to N° to work anymore.—So, those people who appeared in the underground plaza really had something to do with Alexander Reed.Why did Alexander Reed send people around him?In a flash of lightning and flint, Lila Bennett realized a fact. That is, Alexander Reed should actually know exactly where he had been, but Alexander Reed still called and asked where he was and if he was willing to come to Du Island.The room was very quiet.Alexander Reed said, "We need to talk."Lila Bennett tightened the blanket.Talk about what?His heart beat accelerated slightly. He remembered their last private conversation in this room.Alexander Reed walked to the cabinet and opened a drawer.As soon as Alexander Reed turned his back to him, Lila Bennett couldn't help but look at Alexander Reed's back.He noticed that Alexander Reed was wearing a silver-gray robe this time. Different from the last nightgown, this robe had very wide sleeves and a more comfortable style.Alexander Reed was very tall and had a broad back. This didn't look like a patient at all. As he moved, his black hair slid along. It looked very soft and the whole person exuded an indolent charm that couldn't be learned.To Lila Bennett's surprise, it seemed that Alexander Reed couldn't feel the cold of winter. He was actually barefoot.The carpet was dark, and Alexander Reed's instep was as white as snow.It didn't seem to have any temperature.Lila Bennett was slightly distracted. He was thinking, was it because of this that Alexander Reed's appearance was always so silent?The heat-insulating glass around the fireplace slowly descended and retracted into the floor.The intense heat surged up all at once."The words you said here last time." Alexander Reed threw away the remote control he had just found. "I need you to repeat it again."Lila Bennett suddenly remembered the words Alexander Reed had asked him to say.When he returned to Wutong, every time he recalled the scene at that time, he felt very ashamed.Alexander Reed's request was very strange, and the words they said seemed to have ambiguities.Those sentences were like some movie plots and might not be suitable for daily life. But at this time, being in this room again and facing the same person, those sentences became natural again.They seemed unbreakable and as sacred as an oath.This time he seemed to have violated that oath to some extent.The firelight reflected on Lila Bennett's face. He was already warm, but the palms of his hands were getting cold.He repeated in a low voice for his breaking of the promise, "Don't betray, don't run away, and don't be afraid."Alexander Reed strode over.Lila Bennett lowered his head and could only see Alexander Reed's toes on the carpet.He heard Alexander Reed coldly remind, "The previous sentence."Lila Bennett bit his lip and easily remembered what the previous sentence was.Alexander Reed raised his hand and gently held his chin, as if knowing that he couldn't say it.Lila Bennett's face was burning hot. Alexander Reed's fingers were as cool as imagined."It's because I didn't make it clear what this sentence means." Alexander Reed still looked down at him. "So I will say it again now.""From the time you come to Du Island to the time you leave Du Island completely, you have to give yourself completely to me. This means that your body, behavior, and thoughts are all given to me without reservation.""I will take care of all your needs, including your absolute personal safety."These words were spoken very gently.Alexander Reed was not aggressive nor did he have any uncomfortable emotions.He was just supplementing the overly brief conversation last time."No matter what happens around you or what you are worried about, it doesn't matter."Alexander Reed spoke more clearly slowly and looked down at him, "Whether you are happy or sad, leave it all to me to fulfill for you. During this period, you just live freely. I will make all decisions that will not harm you."These words gave Lila Bennett a strong shock somewhere in his heart.No one had ever said such words to him. It sounded too unbelievable and was also too addictive.They looked at each other.Alexander Reed asked, "Do you understand?"Alexander Reed's pupils were deep black. There was no faint crimson that could be seen last time, but it gave people the same dangerous feeling.Under such a gaze, Lila Bennett's eyelashes trembled.Alexander Reed commanded, "Say it again now."Lila Bennett's heart was beating like a drum. Finally, he said, "Give myself to you.""Remember." Alexander Reed's fingers left his chin. "You don't want to know what the punishment is."Lila Bennett was as obedient as a certain little animal in Dr. Ling's mouth.In the warm fire, he shrank into a small ball and nodded gently at Alexander Reed as he looked at him: "Um."*Later, every time Lila Bennett thought of the conversation in Alexander Reed's room on this day, he had reason to think that Alexander Reed was actually angry at that time.Although Alexander Reed showed a very gentle attitude, was refined and courteous, and was even incredibly reasonable.In Lila Bennett's life with too little experience and too poor life interests, life after boarding Du Island was almost the highest point of his life's pleasures.After returning to his room, he lay on the soft big bed and recalled every word Alexander Reed had said by the skylight reflected by the snow outside the window.He knew that Alexander Reed like this was very strange.How could anyone completely hand over their body, behavior, and even thoughts to another person for decision?What's the point of living like that person?However, he didn't resist.Before meeting Alexander Reed, Lila Bennett didn't know that there was such a strange factor in his body.If he told others about this kind of thing, would people think he was an oddity.But the other party was Alexander Reed.This kind of secret and unspoken sense of constraint and being constrained made Lila Bennett have a faint expectation for the next few months.Dr. Ling arrived as promised and came to his room to draw blood for him to prepare for blood donation as last time."Did you eat according to the recipe I gave you this month?" As the thin needle pierced the skin, Dr. Ling asked, "You don't look too bad in complexion."Lila Bennett was lost in thought, his gaze falling on the blue lake outside.The small boat on the lake that he had seen last time was gone.The temperature on Du Island was even colder than last month.The lake had completely frozen. The ice layer was so thick that it would never be broken by people again.Asked and coming back to his senses, he said, "Thank you for your recipe. It's very useful."Dr. Ling smiled: "Of course."Then he said, "I thought you really wouldn't come this time. I was worried for a while. It's not feasible for me to go to Wutong to find you. You must come in person. We have talked about this problem last time."Lila Bennett nodded.The pre-blood donation checkups can also be done in Wutong. Transportation is actually not a problem for Du Island.Dr. Ling knew that he still couldn't understand. Finally, he paused and said, "Maybe you will understand later."After drawing blood, Lila Bennett asked, "Dr. Ling, is the little worker who was injured last time better?"Surprised by his concern, Dr. Ling smiled: "Much better. He will recover."After Dr. Ling left, Lila Bennett stood in the room for a while. Turning around, he saw the cardboard box on the carpet that Alexander Reed had given him. He still didn't know what was inside.When unpacking the cardboard box, Lila Bennett used a small knife in the drawer.While unpacking halfway, he sat on the carpet and stared at his intact right palm for a while in a daze.Then he continued to unpack the box.The box was very heavy. Inside was a box of jigsaw puzzles about wild animals from Alexander Reed. The pattern was very beautiful.Lila Bennett flipped to the back of the box and read the instructions.This jigsaw puzzle had a whopping 33,600 pieces.He thought that it would be the next life to finish it.
