It's snowing.

It was a sudden heavy snowfall, and although it was close to winter in the city of Firth at this time in previous years, the first snow of the year often occurred two months later.

Tanya was sweeping the snow under the ash trees in the courtyard.

A young man smiled behind her and said:

"Tanya is working hard, do you need my help?"

The girl stretched out her white and tender arms, revealing her lovely biceps:

"No, Mr. Parr, don't look at me small, but I'm no weaker than a boy. ”

Parr smiled and touched her head:

"I believe in you. ”

With that, Parr turned and walked around the room, catching up with his best brother.

This Mr. Pal is Mr. Wright's Blood Pact brother, and although Tanya doesn't quite understand what the Blood Pact brother means, she can guess that Pal must have a lot to do with Mr. Wright.

However, since Mr. Parr arrived, Tanya has discovered a lot of strange things, or Mr. Parr's existence is a strange thing.

Tanya was surprised to find that she couldn't remember exactly when Mr. Parr had been here, as if it had been yesterday, or as if it had been a month ago, or even before she had known Wright.

Of course, this was impossible, because she still remembered Mr. Wright interviewing her clearly.

Confused by her vague memories, she wondered if she was suffering from some mental illness, and according to what Benita had recently read in a book, it might be an organic lesion in her brain.

She shook her head, she just had been too tired lately.

Benita jumped up and down to Tanya:

"Sister, what did Mr. Parr tell you just now?"

Tanya replied:

"Just ask me if I've worked hard, you little one, when did you care so much about Mr. Parr. ”

Benita blushed and said:

"What are you talking about, sister, it was Mr. Parr who carried me back from the street, and I just wanted to repay him. ”

"Huh?" Tanya was stunned.

Didn't Mr. Wright save his sister? What was Benita talking about?

Benita says:

"Sister, what's wrong with you. ”

Tanya smiled in disguise:

"It's okay, I probably haven't slept lately. ”

Benita looked at her sister worriedly:

"Why don't I clean up, sister, go back and rest first. ”

Tanya instinctively refused, but a secret panic deep in her heart drove her to nod:

"You can help me put the broom away, and I'll go talk to Mr. Wright, and he'll let me rest." ”

Benita frowned and corrected:

"It should be Mr. Parr, after all, Mr. Parr is the one who pays the salary. ”

Tanya walked briskly like a run, ignoring Benita's question.

She walked faster and faster, and at last she trotted almost nervously, and she rushed into the house, slamming the door tightly and exhaling a long breath.

She suddenly reacted, what was she doing, was she running away from her sister?

Tanya covered her heart, a little guilty, and wanted to turn back, but she suddenly stopped in front of the door, and the survival instinct of the creature caused her to glance through the cracks in the blinds.

Benita was still standing in place, looking blankly in the direction Tanya had fled.

Cold sweat instantly soaked Tanya's back, and her hands stood in front of her defensively, taking a few steps back.

"Sister Tanya, what are you doing?"

Tanya turned around in an instant, and in front of her was a beautiful little girl.

Hora tilted her head to look at Tanya.

Tanya said in a bit of a panic:

"It's okay, I'm a little dizzy, let's go upstairs and rest first. ”

Hola suddenly realized:

"Sister Tanya, do you want me to speak to Mr. Parr? he's upstairs in the bedroom. ”

Tanya suppressed her fear and asked:

"Which one?"

There is something strange about Hola :

"It's the second room where the stairs turn right, isn't he always there?"

Isn't that Mr. Wright's room?

Tanya folded her hands behind her back, hiding her trembling arms.

The primal impulse from the reptilian brain drove Tanya to turn around and flee the room, whispering in her ear that she could escape from this utterly twisted evil madness if she turned around now.

She couldn't move.

Benita was still here, and Mr. Wright and Miss Hara, and she couldn't just run away.

She was determined to protect her sister, and she wanted to repay Mr. Wright.

For some reason, Tanya told herself that it wasn't her mental problem, but that there was some kind of supernatural power in the house.

There is an evil force spreading here, and he wants to devour everyone's precious memories and feelings, and vows to climb from hell to earth.

Tanya clenched her hands into fists and suppressed her tension deep inside:

"Miss Alice, can I ask you a few strange questions?"

Hara jumped back and sat down on the couch, looking at Tanya with sparkling eyes.

Tanya asked:

"Who is your uncle?"

Hola replied without hesitation:

"It's Mr. Parr. ”

Hola's rationality begins to fade, her cerebral cortex and prefrontal lobes do not produce any reaction, but its more primitive and archaic parts unleash the most primitive desires.

Modern science claims that the part of the brainstem, or the reptilian brain, does not govern all emotions, including fear.

They were wrong.

The emotion that appeared in Tanya's mind was not ordinary fear, but something that was born earlier than fear is commonly said.

A deep silence that cannot be perceived by words and reason occupies Tanya's whole body, it is not the fear of beasts, the fear of death, the fear of the unknown.

It was Tanya's absolute instinct beyond the intellect, and she feared something that existed forever, the great shadow that had appeared before the human brain had fully evolved.

She gritted her teeth and stood alone against the envelope that surrounded her, screaming to bring her to her knees, countless demons dancing beside her, mocking the fragile will of mortals.

She didn't give in.

With a low roar rushing out of his throat, all illusions and strange colors vanished.

If she were an ordinary person, she could have confirmed that she was mentally ill, but Tanya had never felt so sober.

Knowing that she can only see the world clearly today, the haze that used to envelop her eyes has dissipated.

Tanya took a deep breath and felt the oxygen rush into her lungs, then combine with red blood cells from the capillaries and into her brain, giving her the strength to overcome her instincts.

From now on, she has nothing to fear.
