"I want to talk to her. ”

Calvin said.

His face was so pale that it seemed to be transparent, and the illusory feeling in him when he spoke was even more like a ghost than a ghost.

"But it doesn't really make any sense......"

Reed observed Calvin's expression, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Then he asked Calvin to look into the distance, and as twilight fell, the hotel building looked a little hideous and gray under the vulgar neon lights.

After confirming that Madeleine would no longer be loitering outside the motel, he started the car.

Calvin's silence remained until the two of them arrived at their newest residence, a vacation home by the lake.

After seeing the vacation home, it's easy to see why Reid is getting a discount.

The house is right on the lake as the motel guy introduced, and it does have a private pier that leads to the calm and clear lake. But it is very unfortunate to be located in the deepest part of a harbour on the shore of the lake, not far from the other cabins of the resort. There were no asphalt lanes, and the road leading to the hut was a dense gravel road, and trees that had not been pruned for a long time stretched out their branches unscrupulously, and ravens and other unknown large birds nested in the branches of those trees, and every now and then let out a few long, hoarse chirps.

"The road seemed to lead more to the witch's mansion. ”

Reed stared at the road, and the house looming at the end of the road, and said dryly.

But he drove in anyway and parked the car on the front lawn of the cabin instead of the garage.

"The place is quiet and secluded. ”

Calvin opened the door and stepped out of the car, then he looked up at the horrible house that seemed to have been built during the colonial period, and whispered.

"You're trying to say that even if Madeleine is here, it's hard to alarm people, right?"

Reed stood shoulder to shoulder with him in front of the house, and he responded.

"Maybe?"

Calvin whispered uncertainly.

Reed and Calvin looked at each other before walking towards the room.

The moment he pushed the door open, the smell of stale dust rushed in, and Reed quickly turned on the lights - thankfully, there was no problem with the electricity.

Calvin subconsciously felt that he might see a scene full of dust and spiders crawling, but in the dim light, there was only a slight floating dust in the cabin, both in terms of furnishings and furniture, which was the most ordinary thing a vacation home should look like.

"It's a relief," Reed said to Calvin, patting his chest, "I thought I'd see a haunted house." ”

Calvin couldn't help but glance at him—just now Calvin had the same thought as Reed.

They quickly settled down in the house, and by about twelve o'clock in the evening the two of them had the whole house to the point where they could live comfortably.

Calvin chose the one at the end of the second floor of the three-bedroom house, but that night as he lay in bed before he could fall asleep, he heard familiar footsteps and the sound of the door opening.

"I can't sleep a little. ”

Reed slowly climbed onto Calvin's bed, and then he leaned into Calvin's ear and whispered.

Calvin rolled over, and was somewhat surprised to find that he could still see Reed clearly even in the darkness.

Without waiting for his answer, Reed reached out on his own, and he grabbed Calvin's wrist under the covers.

"Tomorrow. ”

He whispered.

"Tomorrow I'll find Madeleine, and then I'll bring her here. ”

Calvin felt Reed's body temperature flow through his body along the part where their limbs intersected.

"I thought you didn't approve of my idea. Calvin said.

"But I know you do want to talk to her. Reed replied, "You're a nice person, a kind person, and sometimes it's a little troublesome, but that's exactly what it is...... Your charming place. ”

As he said the last sentence, Reed's tone was tinged with a hint of darkness.

Calvin turned his head sideways to look at Reed, his expression a little strange at this moment, "You think I wanted to see her out of kindness?"

"Isn't it?" Reed's eyes widened in surprise, which made him look a little childish, "but you've always missed that little girl......

"What happened to Isha is a tragedy I'll never be able to let go," Calvin interrupted Reed, "but it's because of that I'll never be able to forgive Madeleine, you're wrong, I've never sympathized with that woman, in fact I hate her." It's not bad if you use the word 'hate' to describe how I feel about her, knowing that if she hadn't joined that stupid sect, Isha might still be alive by now. ”

Speaking of the Adventists, Calvin once again felt the heavy, breathless feeling of suffocation. He didn't even notice it, his expression was becoming cold and unforgiving.

Reed's gaze rested on Calvin's face, and in the dim moonlight, Calvin's dark purple pupils became extraordinarily dark and deep.

Reed had to desperately restrain himself from kissing Calvin directly on the lips, his hand tightened, and then he rubbed his fingertips against Calvin's fingertips and the back of his hand.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Reed lowered his voice, hiding his burning heat and obsession.

"I feel terrible, Reed, and I'll never forget the last time I saw Isa...... I've been having nightmares," Calvin muttered, "so I have to find Madeleine, and I'm going to look her in the eye and tell her that it's all her fault—that it's her ignorance, stubbornness, and weakness that have caused such a tragic fate for an innocent girl." There is no reason for anyone to send their children into the hands of the devil in the name of faith, even if they claim to be blinded. ”

"I can't allow it, I can't do it, let her just go crazy and easily escape this mental torture. ”

Calvin said unusually coldly, "That woman is guilty, Reed, she is Isha's mother, and she drove Isa to hell...... She needs to be punished. ”

……

Madeleine leaned over and sat quietly on a park bench.

The night was deep, and the moon cast a silvery glow softly on her. The motel's good Samaritan gave her some macaroni and doughnuts for dinner, so her stomach was full tonight and she didn't have the pain of being squeezed so tightly by hunger.

She looked up at the moon blankly, then thought of Isha again.

Madeleine knew that her mental condition had become very bad.

Ever since a few months ago, on a Sunday night, when her mentor had solemnly pushed open the door to the prayer room and told her of Isa's death, Madeleine had been in a state of sometimes sober and sometimes chaotic.

The Advent told Madeleine that Isha was the victim of the fire in Angels.

"This is truly a great, great tragedy, may the Son bless these wretched souls in heaven. ”

Madeleine could even remember what the nun had said.

Later, she was taken to the morgue, a cold place, with stainless steel cabinets neatly against the wall, the light so white, and a disgusting smell of burnt in the air.

Madeleine stood there, thinking in a daze that this was not the place for a little girl like Isa. But then she saw someone pull open a cold stainless steel cabinet with a pale blue body bag.

The men unzipped up, revealing what came out of the body bag beyond Madeleine's comprehension—how could such a tiny, charred thing be her sweet little girl?

Her daughter had beautiful blonde hair and bulging cheeks like buns, and when she laughed, there was a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth.

But how could the "thing" in that damn plastic bag be her Isa?

Madeleine remembers screaming.

She felt cheated, and she couldn't have admitted that it was Isa - in fact, Madeleine didn't admit that the charred body was Isa's remains until she was kicked out of the sisters' house.

She felt that Isha had just accidentally gone missing, after all, she didn't like to run for the Son from the beginning, and she was such a naughty little thing. She must have escaped halfway through, and after the Great Fire in Angel Town, things were in chaos, so the Adventists confused things. They mistook someone else's child for Isha, they just got it wrong.

Madeleine has been very attentive to everything around her since then, and Isha is a naughty child, she has only been wandering outside for a long time, so she can't find her way home.

More devout than ever, Madeleine prayed to the Son, to the only angel in this world, to let that mischievous child come home sooner. But for some reason, the Advent people kicked her out of the sect anyway. Maybe it's because Catherine has been stubbornly looking for them to ask for her own Isa?

Later, Madeleine kept wandering around the shelter and the streets, and she was looking for Isha very seriously.

Sometimes, though, she would wake up at some point and realize the fact that Isha was most likely gone.

Then she would hold her knees and cry as she did now, and she would cry until she was exhausted and fall asleep, and when she woke up, she wished she was in a state of madness. After all, when she was crazy, her Isha was still alive somewhere in the world for her......

Madeleine's cry echoed through the park like the cry of a night crow, a sound that sounded almost terrifying, and probably because of this, even if she occupied the benches, few other homeless people would dare to provoke her.

But on this night, Madeleine's crying did not last long, because a man came to her completely unexpected.

"Yes...... Who ......"

Madeleine rubbed her red and swollen eyes and stared blankly at the man.

In the backlight, the other person's face looks so blurry.

"Madeleine, it's me. ”

Calvin stared blankly at the miserable woman in front of him.

"I want to tell you something"

In the distance, another man, taller but more blurred, stood quietly on the side of the road.

The moon was so bright, but it seemed that there was no way to illuminate the small area where the man was standing, and the man's shadow was so dark on the concrete floor......

And Calvin's shadow is the same.

"Yes, it's you?"

Madeleine stared blankly at Calvin, who had finally caught a glimmer of light in the chaos, and then she finally recognized Calvin. 2k reading web
