The landlord entrusted me with taking care of her incompetent son, but I took care of him by sending him to the police station. In one moment, he was sitting in a wheelchair, directing me to pour tea and water, and in the next moment, he walked away with a carefree demeanor. Quietly following him, I wanted to pull him back, but he pulled me along and we both fell into a mud pit. He looked at me with arrogant eyes and said, "Indeed, you are a piece of uncut jade." Was that a compliment? When did I become his apprentice? It was truly astonishing to see him, like a cheetah, calmly and confidently hunting his prey in the steel forest. I, on the other hand, am just a small illustrator, closing my eyes only to see chaotic images and unrealistic fantasies. He told me it was just a game of "Mafia," but when I opened my eyes and stared at the person in front of me, I felt my whole body freeze. Is it you? Why is it you?
