My Mother's Blind Faith in a Lie Collar Broke Me Chapter 11
Mom believed that if the collar were still in her hands, it would surely be blinking a blinding crimson red at this moment, and the pain would be an everlasting one.In the emptiness of space, I watched everything unfold.I watched Mom suffer in the psychiatric hospital, watched the crippled Daniel reduced to begging, and watched my ruined Dad drink himself into an early grave.And yet, I found no pleasure in seeing them get what they deserved. All I felt was a quiet calm, like stagnant water.Beside me stood an old dog. It was Max, the dog I raised when I was little, and the one Mom later threw away. He had been waiting for me in the afterlife.Max rubbed against my leg and barked twice, as if saying, "You shouldn't watch anymore. We should go."He was right. It was time to go. With how painful this life had been, there was nothing worth holding on to.I drifted to the door of Mom's hospital room to say a final goodbye.Lying on the bed, she looked gaunt, her hair completely g

Late that night, Mom stared at the red glow of the collar reflected on the wall. To her, it looked like I was watching her with bleeding eyes.On the back of my notebook, she scribbled frantically with a red pen. "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Red means pain. Red means love. Please come back. Just tell me that you're in pain one more time, and I'll definitely save you this time."Alas, I was already dead, and the dead could not cry out in pain.In the end, Mom was sent to a psychiatric hospital. Her self-harm had gotten so severe that she almost electrocuted herself at home. The community intervened and had her forcibly admitted.She became the strangest patient there.Somehow, she got hold of a red plastic ring and wore it around her neck as her collar. Anyone who tried to remove it would be met with frantic biting, as if she had gone rabid. "Don't touch my collar! Irene is watching! She'll be mad if you take it off!"Over time, she developed a frightening conditioned response. When

The officer continued, "I want to be an ordinary child. I want to eat the pulled pork you make."Mom stared at the plastic parts. The "honest green light" she had believed in so deeply turned out to be nothing more than a cheap toy.Because of this toy, she had spoiled Daniel for ten years, and because of that damned red light, she tortured me for ten years.Mom started laughing. It was a harsh, eerie laugh that sounded ugly. "It's fake… All of it is fake… I killed my most honest child and spoiled a liar."This time, she truly did lose her mind. My death became the city's most talked-about news.The kind-hearted but gossipy Felicia posted everything she saw that day online. The chilling title read, "The Girl Electrocuted to Death by a Pseudoscientific Collar".The article gave a detailed account of my body's condition and the collar that was stuck to my flesh.That single post sparked a massive wave of outrage across the internet.When Mom's identity was exposed, countless curs

The police officer continued to read, "When she saw the blood, she said I was using tomato juice to pretend I was sick, and then she shocked me for another ten minutes."Mom covered her mouth, her whole body shaking violently.That night, she really had thought it was tomato juice. Without even taking a closer look at what I was coughing up, she just turned around and went to tell Daniel a bedtime story.It turned out that what she saw was blood caused by severe swelling and injury in the throat.The officer turned to another page. "On Mother's Day, Daniel cut up Mom's dress. Since Daniel's heart rate was low, his light was green."I was afraid that I would be hit, so I quickly tried to explain the situation, but my light turned red. Mom shocked me for ten minutes. The setting was turned to level five."It hurt so much, but I didn't cry. Crying would only make my heart beat faster. Mom would only think that I was being defiant and would shock me even more."So I held my breath a

Right then, Mom suddenly thought back to when I turned ten. Overwhelmed by the collar's highest setting, I had curled up on the floor, biting my lip so hard that I bled just to stay silent.So this was how painful it was. Mom completely lost it. She screamed at the collar like a madwoman, her spit flying everywhere, "Why is it red? Why? I'm telling the truth, so turn green! You broken thing! You're framing me!"No matter how much she shouted, the red light kept flashing wildly, as if it were silently calling her a liar.Having seen enough, a forensic technician spoke coldly. "That's enough. Stop trying. That thing doesn't work like a lie detector at all."He picked up the manual they had found during the search and threw it onto the coffee table. "This thing simply measures the heart rate and electrodermal activity."When a person is nervous, anxious, afraid, or in pain, their heart rate rises and skin conductivity increases. That makes the light turn red."You're in full-blo

Mom screamed, "That's her reflection notebook! She must have admitted that she lied in it! Look! She admitted it herself!"The police officer pushed her back hard and sealed the notebook into an evidence bag. His eyes were cold, as if he were looking at trash. "We'll find out for ourselves whether there are any lies or not."At that moment, Dad rushed in. When he saw the black body bag being carried out, its long zipper sealing away my life, his legs gave out instantly.He collapsed on the ground and wet himself.Daniel, standing nearby, burst into tears out of fright. He still didn't understand what had happened. He pointed at the blood-stained collar on my desk and asked, "Mom, why is Irene's collar black? Mine is still green."He showed the blinking green light on his neck, making all of this seem like one big joke.The police began taking statements in the living room. Mom, as if clinging to the last piece of hope she had, pointed at the blood-stained collar, her voice shar
