Chapter 104: The Real World

"Everything about you, will return to its original trajectory. ”

......

As if pulled by something, Caroline felt as if there was a strange suction force in her body, sucking 'her' from the outside to the inside—the inside of her body.

She suddenly came to her senses—but she realized that she wasn't in the hallway of the textbook building. It's dim, and then there's the sound of a projector...... She's been to this place.

It's the screening room inside the school where 403 took her—Caroline begins to check her body...... There were no injuries.

But she vividly remembered what had happened before she passed out...... Everything, will it return to its original trajectory?

"Are you awake? The door to the screening room opened, and it was 403 that Caroline knew.

At this time, 403 did not wear that cheap texture of human skin hood, and the appearance of bandages still made Caroline feel a chill no matter how many times.

"I ...... Why am I here?" Caroline asked subconsciously.

403 said, "You fainted in the hallway, so I moved you to this place." ”

Corridor...... Caroline closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, the scene of the destruction of the entire floor was vivid, "Corridor...... What happened to that floor?"

"What's going on?" 403 looked curiously at Caroline, "No, I just brought you back, and by the way, brought them back." ”

"They'......" Caroline was stunned, and as if she had thought of something, she hurried to the window of the projector and looked out.

On the stage below, I don't know when a huge cage was placed, and in the cage, there were several people locked up...... Arnold, Haley, and Posti.

They seemed to have fainted.

Caroline looked back at 403 abruptly, she didn't know what he was going to do next, she just felt that his gaze didn't look like a human at all.

"You...... You want to kill them?" asked Caroline, looking at 403.

403 shook his head, "I'm just giving them a taste of fear and despair, and something more painful than death." ”

403 reached out and swept over Caroline's cheek, a gesture that startled Caroline, only to see that 403 didn't want to grab her, but just to open the button on the wall behind her back - the button for the lights on the stage below.

Smack, smack.

One by one, the lights were turned on, and the spotlights began to converge on the huge cage on the stage, shining on the three Arnolds.

403 then moved the projector over, then retrieved a plate and loaded it into the projector. He started it, and the old-fashioned projector began to spin slowly, and film moved under Caroline's eyes.

Caroline began to hear some sounds...... She looked over to the curtain on the stage.

The yellowed picture quality seems to be a bit old...... It's like a documentary.

A woman is holding a child...... The child, who was only about five or six years old, was seeing the camera with a smile on her face, holding the child's hand and waving it towards the camera.

Caroline saw the room in the background, and it felt familiar, and then she suddenly remembered that this was the room where she had followed Arnold in the first place...... The old house where Arnold was born and raised.

"Hey, little Haley, look at the camera, look at Dad. The woman loved the child so much that she kissed him on the cheek, "Little Haley, will you say hello to your brother?"

Caroline saw that the film was supposed to be a family-style documentary, and the person with the camera was probably the woman's husband.

The camera begins to turn, and another child enters the camera. The two children looked almost identical, almost indistinguishable except for their clothes.

"It's them...... They were when they were children!" Caroline subconsciously looked towards 403.

I only heard 403 looking at the video at this time, and said indifferently: "Look at them, they are so small, they are like angels, do you think?"

At this time, little Haley, who was being held by the woman, turned his face at once, and then kissed the woman on the cheek, which made the woman laugh happily.

"Look at you, little Haley, it's like a little gentleman, so obedient, and mom likes you so much. This is my son. Of course, my little Arnold is also very good, and I am satisfied with the two of you!"

The documentary is still playing, and then there are some family games, and even someone like Caroline can feel the warm taste of this family.

She suddenly remembered her childhood...... I remember that my father died before the stray bullet of the gang fight, and the family of three seemed to be like this.

"You...... What are you showing me this?" Caroline frowned.

"No, no, no, I'm not showing you. 403 shook his head, then reached out and pointed to the cage on the stage, "It's for them." I'm just tweaking the graphics to get the best angle. ”

"You...... How do you have these things?" asked Carolyn subconsciously.

"It's still easy to find this kind of thing, right?" 403 said indifferently, "It depends on whether you have the heart to look for it, whether you want to find it, and whether you want to do it." ”

I saw that 403 began to rewind at this time, and then said slowly: "I didn't plan to do it like this, but it seems that something has happened." This Haley actually came out early, so that there were still some things that I didn't have time to show him...... However, it doesn't matter anymore. Because, perhaps, it would be better to look at these effects...... Of course, my own mood will be much worse. But compared to the next ...... It doesn't seem to matter anymore. Because I'm already a little out of control, it's not a good thing. ”

As he spoke, 403 suddenly pushed the push button of the stereo, making the sound equipment around the stage extremely harsh all of a sudden. Caroline had to cover her ears directly.

At the same time, under the influence of this harsh sound, the three Arnold in the cage also slowly woke up.

Boston was the first to wake up and find himself in a cage, so he quickly stood up and subconsciously groped towards his waist - but when he found his pistol missing, he suddenly became cold in a sweat.

"Who!!Who's here!!!!

"Don't make any noise, I have a headache!" Arnold patted his head at this time, and also helped himself to his feet, and began to look at the surroundings.

Haley sat up, his eyes blank, but he kept looking at the cage in which he was trapped, not knowing what he was thinking, when a bright light suddenly shot from the projection room above his seat.

The light and shadow pierced Arnold's body and then cast onto the curtain behind him...... Sound, with it.

- "Hey, little Haley, look at the camera, look at Daddy." ”

Suddenly hearing this voice, Arnold's eyes suddenly opened a little, and he quickly turned around.

- "Little Haley, will you say hello to your brother?"

On the curtain, young Haley waved his hand at this time, and his eyes seemed to be infinitely magnified...... Because of the clumsy shooting technique, the whole shot is the child's face.

Arnold fell backwards suddenly, and his body slammed into the cage. His breathing became rapid...... He subconsciously looked away from his gaze...... Subconsciously looked at Haley, who was also looking up at the image on the screen at this moment.

At this time, Haley also slowly turned his head and looked at Arnold.

The eyes of the two brothers suddenly met, and Arnold suddenly wanted to move a step to the side.

"Let me out!!!"

At this moment, Haley suddenly bounced up, and his hands were directly pinched at Arnold's neck, letting out a beast-like roar - he even opened his mouth to bite Arnold's ear at once.

Ah——!!!h

Arnold let out a terrible cry, but his left ear was bitten off by Haley. He fell to the ground in agony—Haley's mouth was full of blood, and the fresh ear was still in his mouth at the moment, and it looked like a devil's horror.

"This ...... Monster!" Boston was also a little frightened at this scene.

I saw that Haley suddenly stared at Boston at this time, and under the great fear, Boston's ruthless temperament was instantly provoked, and he suddenly flew towards Haley, "Freak!

"Don't call me a freak!!!!!"

A normal person, even an ordinary person with anger and fear, is no match for a crazy person. At this moment, Hailey's face was covered with blood, as if he didn't know the pain, and he had more strength than ordinary people.

Boston slammed his fist into Haley's face, nearly breaking the bridge of Haley's nose and popping his lips, but he was never able to hit Haley.

Haley snapped into an opportunity and bit down directly into Boston's throat...... Poof, the artery in the neck that was bitten off suddenly splashed with a terrifying amount of blood.

Yes......

With an exclamation, Caroline couldn't watch this extremely bloody scene, and her body trembled with fright...... She looked at 403's appearance at this time in horror, but saw that 403's eyes had a happy meaning that could not be concealed at this time.

He...... He didn't know where he had taken a bag of beef cubes, and he was eating them with relish. But seeing Caroline looking towards her, she even smiled slightly: "Oh, do you want to eat some?"

Smelling the beef, Caroline suddenly felt sick to her stomach...... She crept against the wall, trying to make her way to the door of the screening room.

"The stage play hasn't ended yet, is this leaving?" 403 didn't look back at this time, "After reading it, I said that when this matter is over, I will prove your innocence...... Don't give me a reason to be bad to you. ”

Caroline nodded nervously, stopping herself.

But she didn't dare to look at what was happening on that stage again...... I could only hear Haley's voice clearly, and perhaps Arnold's voice...... Boston, Boston may have died.

In that case, Caroline didn't think Boston would survive.

"You...... Why didn't you show up in front of them?" asked Caroline suddenly, a question she couldn't figure out herself—she couldn't figure out why she was asking such a question.

"Fear comes from the unknown. 403 said indifferently: "Don't let them know why they are trapped in the cage, don't let them know who is behind this, unknown...... It will make Arnold not proud. When everything is out of his control, he will become helpless and even ignorant, and the abyss of fear will consume him. ”

"You...... Seems to know him well. Caroline looked at 403 and had a name in her mind that she wanted to blurt out: Lucas.

But she never said the name...... Not trying to provoke the other party, nor trying to explore the origin of the other party, and being wise and self-protective is almost the most important principle of survival as a prostitute/woman.

"Who are you!!!!! let go!!let go!! you freak!!let go!!I let you out!!let go!!ah——!!! monster!!!!! you monster...... Leave me alone...... Leave me alone...... Put ......"

It was Arnold's roar, anger with fear that could not be concealed, even if it was so far away, even if he couldn't see his appearance at this time, but every cell of Caroline seemed to be able to feel the fear that belonged to Arnold at this moment.

Everything is as 403 says.

Caroline began to cover her ears and curled up in the corner, not daring to listen to the sound of the brothers on the stage.

Since I don't know when, Caroline seems to have lost hearing Arnold's voice, or even Haley's voice. Outside, the only thing outside was the sound of the family film playing on the projector.

Their mother's voice.

- "Hey, little Haley, look at the camera, look at Daddy." ”

- "Look at you, little Haley, you are like a little gentleman, you are so obedient, and your mother likes you so much." ”

Time passed, and when Caroline let go of her hands covering her ears, she noticed that 403 seemed to be in tears, looking out of the playback window in a daze.

Maybe he's looking at the film on the screen, maybe he's looking at everything on the stage — and everything on the stage, Caroline wants to forget.

"Let's go, don't be nostalgic for the past. 403 suddenly walked up to Caroline and held out his hand to her...... He pulled Caroline up and said slowly, "It's going to end." ”

After this, Caroline watched as 403 took out a few barrels of gasoline.

He poured gasoline on the stage, drenching Boston's body, Arnold's body, and Haley's body...... Haley is still alive, but Arnold has fallen.

Arnold had fallen on Caroline's back, so she couldn't see what Arnold looked like at the moment. But she said in her heart, it's okay, if you can't see it, you don't have to think about it.

She knew it might be self-defeating...... But how many people can do it without deceiving themselves?

It's just that Haley is still like a beast, and he is stimulated to go crazy again. 403 didn't seem to see anything, and at this moment, it seemed to Caroline that he couldn't see anything.

403 set a fire at the end, and the flames began to burn the chairs and spread towards the projection room, towards the stage.

403 put on his inferior human skin hood again and walked slowly outside. Caroline suddenly had the feeling that this might be the last time she saw 403's bandaged face...... Even, maybe the last time I saw this vengeful devil.

But even if it was the devil, Caroline had to keep up with the pace of 403, if nothing else, because there was only one way to leave.

"Bedroom 403, I suggest you don't go any further. On the way, 403 suddenly said to Caroline, "Come with me, what I promised you will be given to you." ”

Carlo followed 403 around the campus, the night seemed unable to stop 403's pace, and he easily dodged the crowd on the road, those who had spotted the fire and started rushing there.

But Caroline knew that even if they arrived, they wouldn't be able to save anyone—because she remembered vividly that when she left, Haley was almost a 'burning man'.

Perhaps, nothing can force the flame to burn sin, and when the flame is extinguished, everything will be turned into dust, leaving no trace.

The place she followed 403 to was a pump room in the critical boys' dormitory area...... Opening the door to the pump room, Caroline saw scraps of food, cardboard husks piled up into a large box, and candles that had almost burned out.

"You...... You've always lived in this place?"

"It's good here, do you think I should live in the bell tower?" 403 sat casually on the floor, and looked for something in the large cardboard box.

"Why the Clock Tower?" said Caroline, puzzled.

"Notre-Dame, the ugly man who lives in the bell tower. 403 seemed to have found what he was looking for, and stood up, looked at Caroline, and said, "Haven't you seen it?" ”

Caroline shook her head.

403 didn't say anything, but handed Caroline something in his hand, a USB stick. "There's Haley killing Livia here, and it proves your innocence," he said. ”

Caroline clenched the USB flash drive in her hand and said incredulously, "You...... You've been watching?"

"It doesn't matter anymore. 403 shook his head, sniffing at his clothes, perhaps because of the smell of gasoline.

403 began to take off his clothes, he was about to change his clothes, but he found that Caroline was not willing to leave at this time, so he stopped, "Let's go, the things in it are not fake, and they are not what I sent you casually." And we'll never see each other again – and even if we do, you won't know who I am. ”

Caroline hesitated.

403 had already taken off his shirt and found a new one, and when he saw Caroline's expression, he took out another video camera from the large cardboard box, "Don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, watch it here." ”

Caroline nodded, took the camcorder, plugged it in, and began to look at it. She glanced at 403, and it seemed that there were few wounds on his body other than the wounds on his face—except for one.

On his chest, there was a strip-like scar that seemed to have been stabbed by something.

The video that was opened suddenly came from a screaming voice...... It's the sound of Livia screaming! I'm afraid the angle of the shot is in the corner of the wall, this should be a secretly installed lens.

When she saw Haley's hideous appearance appear, Caroline almost closed her eyes, and couldn't bear to watch the scene of Livia being killed...... She slammed the image off.

But 403 was gone, the door to the pump room was open, and he had left.

......

......

It took a long time for the fire on campus to be extinguished - it was already dawn, but the fire engine had not left, and many students began to rush to the scene of the fire and take out their mobile phones.

It won't be long before the campus intranet will be filled with discussions about the fire.

"I heard that three bodies were found. ”

"Well, I saw it, and when I brought it out, it was already charred, and I couldn't make out it. ”

"If you want to look it up, you can still find it, right?"

"God knows when, and the murderer may be at large......

Listening to the students' chatter, Caroline left with her head bowed—she looked back at it because she wasn't worried...... For the time being, though, it seems safe.

But the number of students who rushed to the scene to watch gradually increased, and Caroline walked in the crowd with her head down, but she suddenly saw a woman.

With a book in hand, I was supposed to be going to class, but I just watched the crowd from afar, looking at the small hall that had been burned down...... This woman.

It was Lucas's girlfriend, the woman in the picture found in that closet.

Caroline hesitated, but finally walked over, pretending to be relaxed, and asked beside the woman, "Hey!"

"Are you ......" the girl looked at Caroline suspiciously.

"Nothing, just wanted to ask if you know what's going on here?" said Carolyn with a smile.

The girl shook her head, not caring about other people's accosting, "I just came, I don't know what's going on, I'm still in a hurry to go to class, don't you want to ask others?"

As he spoke, he said goodbye and turned to leave.

Caroline suddenly patted the girl on the shoulder, causing her to stop, "Hey, what's your name? I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

"Oh...... Is it. The girl looked at Caroline in some surprise, "Maybe, maybe somewhere." The school is not big, maybe I have really seen it. ”

"Let me think about it. Caroline thought as if she were really serious, "Oh...... I remember, you and your boyfriend, I've seen it...... I know your boyfriend, I think it's called Lucas, right?"

"You're a friend of Lucas?" the girl frowned.

Caroline shrugged and said, "No, I just know the name, I haven't seen it a few times." Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen him in a long time, how is he doing?"

The girl shook her head and said, "Then you should ask his mentor, he should be an intern at a pharmaceutical company now, and he hasn't been back to school for more than two months." Also, we've broken up a long time ago. ”

"Pharmaceutical company?" Caroline was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "How is it possible, he shouldn't be dead...... Did I say missing?"

"OK!" the girl looked at Caroline, "Listen, I don't know who you are or what your relationship with Lucas is. But I can tell you very clearly that Lucas and I are finished. Please tell him to stop harassing me with these little tricks, and don't send me any more flowers!"

He ...... He's sending you flowers?"

"Last week, when class was in class, outside the classroom door! Oh my God, dressed like a turkey, it's so ugly, it's just getting me in trouble!" the girl shook her head, "I'm sorry, I'm going to class." ”

"Wait ......"

Looking at the back of the girl who is walking away quickly...... Caroline stood dumbfounded, 403 Who would he be if it wasn't for Lucas?

Caroline suddenly felt a headache, and the image flashed through her mind...... That's what she's 'seen' before.

'Arno' who was stabbed into his body with a knife in the forest.

The picture of the struggle in the water......

Caroline's eyes were closed, but they opened suddenly, and she suddenly remembered the long wound on 403's body.

"Who the hell are you......"

Suddenly, Caroline felt that no matter who 403 was, it didn't seem to matter, the important thing was that she seemed to have escaped from this whirlpool of trouble.

Caroline left the university with some ease. Outside the school gate, Caroline tried to find a taxi, but when she touched her clothes, she found that she didn't have a single coin on her.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly, she always felt that she had never been so poor...... But it doesn't seem particularly uncomfortable.

Caroline took a deep breath, but she felt as if there was something in her pants pocket, she felt for it, and when she looked at it, she found that it was the kind of bank card inside.

She looked for a machine nearby to withdraw money, looked at the balance on it, and Caroline found that there was no shortage of money in it...... Arnold didn't seem to have touched the card since he got there.

In a trance, Caroline called a taxi, and when the driver asked her where she was going, Caroline hesitated for a while before softly saying, "Go to the hospital." ”

......

Caroline hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open.

But she didn't see Nya here, any terminally ill woman—the bed was so neat that it was as if no one had ever slept with it.

Caroline felt puzzled, and directly called a nurse in the hallway and asked, "What about the woman who lives here, why is Nia missing?"

She may have ...... The worst-case scenario.

"Oh, you said she, she was discharged from the hospital two days ago. The nurse said casually.

"Discharged?" Caroline felt incredulous: "How could she be discharged? Isn't she dying and waiting for surgery to save her life?"

"Who said that?" the nurse shook her head, "She's had surgery a long time ago, and she's been quite successful, right?"

"No way, she looks so weak, she can only see the bones!"

"What patient isn't weak after major surgery?" the nurse shrugged, then pushed the cart away from Caroline's side, "Is there anything else? I'm going to send something away." ”

Caroline subconsciously shook her head.

At this time, she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder, a man in a suit, dressed very formally, he looked at Caroline, and asked very politely, "Excuse me, are you Miss Caroline?"

"Right...... Who are you?" Caroline subconsciously became vigilant.

The man hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I have no ill will towards you, Miss Caroline." I was waiting for you here on purpose, and I was waiting for you here early this morning. 'Southern Cross', do you remember?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"I thought we could find a quiet place to talk about you being cheated. The man smiled slightly, "Is it okay to have a café downstairs? ”

......

'Southern Cross'.

Caroline immediately remembered the business card that Mr. Ofie had given her—she had thought that after a phone call, the other party had just casually perfunctory herself.

"Based on your commission, our people will soon start working on your affairs. Regarding the Livia murder case, from various sources, we have found some suspicious places, which should prove your innocence. Of course, if you want to deal with this matter faster, we can do it too, and there is no problem without going through the judicial process, depending on your intentions. ”

Caroline was startled.

The man added, "But while investigating your personal information, we found out something else. That's when we found out Miss Carolyn that you owe a huge sum of money, only recently, and the other party is a loan shark. ”

"No way! I haven't borrowed any money lately!"

"I think you have an impression of these two people. The man took out two photographs from his file bag - the people in the photos were Carlo and Nia, but Nya was the one before she fell ill.

"They ......"

"Our men have already detained these two men, and we have made it clear from the mouth of this Carlo lawyer. The man said confidently: "This person is a liar, not a lawyer, but he knows the law very well, and he has a criminal record in the past." And this woman is his girlfriend. The documents you signed are not entrustment agreements for the sale and purchase of real estate, but contracts for borrowing money from private lenders in your name, and the amount is quite large. Here is their confession, you can take a look. ”

Caroline looked at the information given by the other party, and for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "These two bastards !!"

"Also, when I caught Carlo and Nia, I caught a guy by the way, and after questioning, he seemed to be a subordinate of a guy named Boston. Oh, and we solved a lot of trouble by finding which fugitive was shot away during the last memorial service at the theater. ”

......

What's wrong with the world?

It feels so unreal.

Caroline didn't know how she got out of the hospital, and she didn't even remember how she felt when she got out of the whirlpool of troubles and came here in the first place.

She used the money on her bank card to save Nia.

Whether it was compensation or something else, Caroline herself couldn't tell.

However, what made her feel ridiculous was that whether it was Nia, whether it was Helioano or 403, she had been in a world of lies and traps for all this time.

As she looked at the busy road, Caroline suddenly smiled, and it was then that she truly understood the true meaning of what Nia had said that day when she called her to her.

"Caroline, you're a stupid woman. She said to herself.

On the streets, Caroline suddenly didn't know where she was going—she suddenly lost all her purpose, and she had nothing but wealth in her arms that no one else could have imagined.

A strange young man walked up to Caroline's side at this time, pulled her and gave her a leaflet, and said very enthusiastically: "Miss, are you interested in learning more about our institution? We can help you get a regular degree in all the major colleges!"

Caroline was stunned for a moment, looked at the flyer for a while, and suddenly asked, "Can it make people smart?"

"Miss, knowledge can increase wisdom. The young man smiled brightly, "Perhaps, we can learn more about it...... Well, I don't know what your current education is, Miss?"

"I didn't read when I was very young. Caroline shook her head.

"Uh...... It doesn't matter, we still have quite a few courses on our side. The young man said, "Do you have any courses that interest you, for example, what kind of major?"

"I don't understand. Caroline shook her head.

"This ...... It's a bit tricky. The young man was a little embarrassed.

But Caroline smiled slightly at this time: "But, I have money, I am rich." ”

"I don't think that's a problem!Miss!Please come with me, I will tailor the most suitable course for you!" He pulled Caroline as she walked inside.

Caroline took a deep breath, she didn't know why she had suddenly made such a decision...... But it seems to feel good.

As she entered, Caroline suddenly turned away, as if she felt that someone was watching her from behind.

But when she looked across the road, she didn't seem to see anything...... Or rather, I just saw a back.

"Everything about you, will return to its original trajectory. ”

......

......

In front of the club's minus three floors.

Even though they had most of the rights to buy and sell, they still couldn't enter the door, which was only allowed by the owner of the shop.

But the maid knew very well what was inside, and it was the altar on which everything was sacrificed.

In front of the door, the maid lady slowly held something in her hands, it was a dazzling ball of light.

"The Power of Dimensional Observation...... I offer sacrifices here on behalf of my master. I heard Yuya whisper, "In this way, the master will have enough time to maintain his vacation." After all, it's just a 'Lord God' plan, and it's still a bit of a bit overwhelmed......"
