30: save4 Preparing for Departure
"Mmm..."
Liu Lili had no choice but to respond. By now, she had basically lost the ability to think independently and had become completely submissive, obeying whatever Lu Lele said.
A long time later, Lu Lele finally separated from Liu Lili, satisfied.
"Lili..."
"You're so good. I'm very happy."
Lu Lele took out her own handkerchief and carefully wiped away the tear stained traces on Liu Lili's cheeks:
"Remember, you must continue to be good and obedient. You must not think about escaping."
"I will be obedient... I will... I promise..."
At this moment, Liu Lili had turned into a repeater. No matter how much it cost her dignity, she didn't care much anymore.
As long as Lu Lele didn't continue to torment her, she would do anything.
Only by being obedient could she avoid punishment. Disobedience meant being severely punished.
Lu Lele was employing psychological techniques of negative reinforcement and positive punishment to "correct" Liu Lili, carving the words "must be obedient" and "cannot escape" deeply into Liu Lili's brain, down to the marrow, making it Liu Lili's instinct, an unbreakable iron rule.
It was like a puppy in an electric cage. After repeated shocks, even if the cage door is opened, it will still curl up within its small circle, drawing a prison for itself, not daring to cross the line.
Once a mental shackle forms, it is absolutely ten thousand times stronger than a physical one, because this kind of shackle is almost impossible to break free from using only one's own strength.
In order to achieve a certain goal, people or animals often take certain actions upon their environment.
When the consequence of this action is favorable to them, the behavior will be repeated in the future; when unfavorable, the behavior will weaken or disappear.
The former is positive reinforcement, the latter negative reinforcement.
People can use these methods of positive or negative reinforcement to influence the consequences of behavior, thereby modifying it. Just as Liu Lili's desire to escape was discovered and she was severely punished by Lu Lele, then the next time Liu Lili encounters a situation where she could escape, she will weigh whether to do it or not, perhaps even suppressing the thought of escape altogether.
Positive punishment, on the other hand, refers to applying an unpleasant stimulus.
This is a method of administering a penalty when inappropriate behavior occurs, often giving the other party a stimulus that makes them feel uncomfortable, just like Lu Lele's spanking punishment for Liu Lili.
If you do wrong, you get hit. If you get hit, you remember the pain. Next time you encounter the same situation, you won't do the same thing. Simple, easy to understand, though masochists are an exception, of course.
The effect of just one instance of negative reinforcement and positive punishment would definitely be limited. Lu Lele didn't expect to truly turn Liu Lili into an obedient plaything with just this one attempt.
But it was fine.
As long as Lu Lele's original plan succeeded, once the two of them settled into a new environment, Lu Lele would have plenty of time to discipline Liu Lili.
Time was the yandere's sharpest weapon.
...
Lu Lele washed Liu Lili's lower half and gave her a clean pair of panties. Then she locked Liu Lili back in the room. She fetched band aids from home, applied one to the wound on Liu Lili's finger, and then checked the cut on Liu Lili's lower lip, disinfecting it with salt water.
No matter what, Lu Lele still cared about Liu Lili's health. If something like fever or tetanus happened because of these wounds, Lu Lele would probably blame herself to death.
After all this was done, Lu Lele left the room and began preparing for the journey.
Having the experience from her last attempt, Lu Lele was much more at ease this time. The only additional things she needed to buy were a large enough suitcase to fit Liu Lili, and some sleeping pills to keep Liu Lili quiet during the trip.
For these two items, Lu Lele didn't choose to order delivery. Instead, she decided to go out herself to a large supermarket and a pharmacy to buy them.
On the way, when Lu Lele truly calmed down and reflected on what she had just done, she couldn't help but feel that Liu Lili was a bit pitiful.
After all, Lu Lele had almost completely vented the emotions left over from her previous attempt. She had acted entirely according to the yandere's instincts, which came across as a bit excessive. No matter how resilient Liu Lili's spirit was, she must have been terrified by now, probably even viewing Lu Lele as a devil.
But Lu Lele felt no regret or remorse, because for her, all of this was just a necessary means to make Liu Lili give up thoughts of escape and be obedient. Even if it was a bit excessive, as long as it achieved good results, it was fine.
No matter how crazy, how unreasonable, how hurtful the actions, in the eyes of a yandere, they were still proof of love, glorious deeds worth singing praises about.
After severely punishing the disobedient Liu Lili, Lu Lele's mood improved greatly. She even hummed a little tune while walking.
Even though Lu Lele had wasted a fair bit of time on Liu Lili this round, she felt it was worth it.
Since she was already playing the role of a yandere, if she still held back and lived constrained and unhappy, that would be truly unacceptable.
A yandere should accomplish what they want to achieve as they please, never deliberately sacrificing themselves under any circumstances.
Besides, half a day was more than enough time for Lu Lele to make all her preparations.
...
In the evening, Lu Lele returned to her house carrying a large enough suitcase and a box of sleeping pills.
Perhaps because the pent up emotions deep inside had been vented, Lu Lele appeared much more normal. She no longer displayed a crazy side to Liu Lili, reverting to the gentle yandere.
But Liu Lili could no longer possibly believe the smile now on Lu Lele's face. Her expression was like that of a frightened little bird, her eyes revealing fear and terror towards Lu Lele.
The earlier discipline was already starting to show results.
Lu Lele smiled faintly and spoke:
"Lili, it's time for us to go~"
"..." Liu Lili didn't respond, only nodding fearfully and cautiously.
Liu Lili knew where Lu Lele planned to go and knew Lu Lele's plan. Instinctively, she felt this plan was very unreliable. But she was powerless to do anything about it now and couldn't muster the thought of refusing.
After all, if she refused, not only would it likely be useless, but she might also be severely punished by Lu Lele...
Liu Lili could only silently watch Lu Lele pack her bags, while praying silently in her heart that Lu Lele would have a change of heart and abandon this ridiculous plan.
If Lu Lele stayed at home, Liu Lili still had a decent chance of being discovered and rescued. But if they went to a completely unfamiliar place, hiding in a lawless zone, then truly no one would come to save her.
Of course, the young girl's prayers were of no use. Lu Lele quickly prepared everything.
Then, she took a few pills from a box in her pocket, revealing a benevolent smile.
