Chapter 2467 The Cruelty of the Past
Chapter 2467 The Cruelty of the Past
As expected, Xiao Zhi took a quick breath and said through gritted teeth, "That sanatorium is simply hell on earth, filled with endless torture and despair."
Ma Xi's heart tightened, and before she could react, she heard Xiao Zhi say again: "That nursing home is operating illegally, and the way they make patients obedient is even more cruel.
They often use high-voltage electric shocks, cruel corporal punishment with sticks, and even deliberately create wounds to make blood flow in order to destroy the patient's will, almost taking turns to do so.
Not only that.
They also use verbal PUA to brainwash people. Through repeated belittlement, intimidation and false promises, they force patients to accept the lie that they are crazy, thereby completely controlling their minds.
At that time, Asi was not crazy at all, but because of Lantus's secret suppression, he was locked up in a dark solitary confinement room and suffered torture day after day.
He was so skinny and weak that he couldn't stand. His spirit was almost broken, as if his soul had been sucked out.
I almost didn’t make it through that desperate time.”
Marcy was shocked when she heard this, and cold sweat broke out on her palms.
Although Xiao Zhi said it simply, she could fully imagine what Zhou Si was going through in that kind of place.
It turned out that she had thought the rumors she had heard at first were exaggerated.
Now I understand that it was just the tip of the iceberg.
The actual truth is far more bloody and cruel than imagined.
She almost didn't dare to think deeply about how Zhou Si managed to hold on despite the torture day after day.
That place is not just a hell on earth, it's a bloody purgatory.
"Are those guys from Lantus all beasts without any humanity???"
She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She couldn't help but squeeze out a curse from between her teeth. Her eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up.
Xiao Zhi sneered coldly and said in a low voice, "Calling them beasts is flattering them.
The Lantes family is almost entirely composed of cold-blooded devils. Even if they were to fall into the eighteen levels of hell after death and never be reborn, they would not be able to wash away the heinous crimes they have committed."
Marcy felt a chill running down her spine, as if she could smell the despair in the air.
She clenched her fists tightly and couldn't calm down for a long time.
After a long pause, she finally asked, "What happened next...was he rescued by the old man of the Zhou family?"
There was a hint of urgency in her voice, and her eyes were fixed on Xiao Zhi, as if she wanted to know more details from him.
Xiao Zhi nodded heavily and spoke slowly: "Yes, Mr. Zhou lost his daughter and only has a grandson left.
The old man was heartbroken at that time and almost spent all his family wealth. He tried to make connections everywhere and ran around asking for help from people.
Finally, with much difficulty, he teamed up with the police to shut down the evil nursing home and rescued his grandson."
Ma Xi's heart ached when she heard this. "What was Zhou Si like back then?"
Xiao Zhi took a deep breath, his eyes dimmed, and said, "He's almost the same as Auntie. He was tortured to the point where he barely looks like a human. The only difference is that he's still alive."
Marcy was silent for a long time.
In that state, life might as well be dead, and every second would be torture.
She couldn't help but turn her head away, tears silently streaming down her face.
Xiao Zhi spoke again, his tone revealing helplessness and heartache, "When I saw him again, he became very silent.
He is even a little gloomy and withdrawn, and is wary of everyone.
Moreover, he is very resistant to people approaching him. He even ignores me, a childhood friend.
It was as if the whole world had become his enemy, leaving him with scars all over his body and a closed heart."
"What then?"
Ma Xi wiped the tears from her face and asked with a hint of curiosity: "How did they do it? The relationship between the two is so good now, and Zhou Si seems to have a relatively cold personality. How can he interact with people normally?"
Xiao Zhi immediately said, "Later, the old man found a very good psychologist who has been treating Ah Si and slowly helping him get out of the shadows.
In addition, I was very sad at that time and didn't want to lose this friend, so I went to the old man's house every day to pester him, talk to him, share interesting things at school, or force him to go out for a walk, and take him to eat at roadside stalls.
At first he was not happy about it and always had a stern face and ignored me. Sometimes when he was angry, he would tell me to get out or even throw things.
After my mother found out, she always told me to help Ah Si more and be more understanding of him.
Asi's actions now were not intentional. It was because someone had hurt him and he needed to protect himself, so he was wary of everyone around him.
I became even more persistent, clinging to him like a little tail. When I saw that he was in a better mood, I would make him laugh, annoy him, and ask him to play games with me.
At that time, I was an indestructible cockroach!
Even if he yelled at me, I would still show up the next day with a smile, talk to him and eat with him.
Moreover, my sense of justice was overflowing at that time, and I considered myself a hero who saved the world. I always felt that if I could make him feel my care and support, it would help him to smile again. "
At this point, Xiao Zhi chuckled, his brows gradually relaxed, and he continued, "Later, he gradually got used to my presence, and the psychiatrist's treatment also took effect. His mood gradually improved, and he was no longer so closed to himself.
Later, I often dragged him out to play, go to the movies, and go to crowded places.
At first he was somewhat resistant and nervous about the outside world, but as time went on, he became more and more relaxed and began to actively participate in activities.
After several years of treatment, he was finally able to live like a normal person, reintegrate into society, and regain his confidence."
After hearing this, Ma Xi said sincerely: "Zhou Si is so lucky to have a brother like you."
The assistant, who had been listening for a long time, interrupted and said, "The psychiatrist was worried that he would be influenced by Young Master Si.
It turned out later that Xiao Shao was naturally optimistic and could boost people's emotions, making the dull atmosphere instantly lively.
When Master Si was with him, his emotions were up and down, so I didn't stop him."
Xiao Zhi immediately raised his neck proudly, a confident smile on his face, and said: "This shows that I am a good person with a good personality! No one doesn't like me!
Even Ah Si can't resist me!"
The assistant couldn't help but complain, saying, "Well, the consequence is that in high school, some people mistakenly thought you two were a couple, and the rumor spread like wildfire, even your parents almost believed it."
After hearing what Xiao Zhi said, Ma Xi felt uncomfortable!
Because of Zhou Si's experience, a heart-wrenching pain made her depressed, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on her chest.
However, she was completely stunned when she heard the assistant's words unexpectedly.
She suddenly raised her eyes, opened them wide, and blurted out: "Ah? Why do you say that? You and Zhou Si..."
