“…… At 8:31 p.m. yesterday, Ibu Calalain, known as the 'miracle survivor', passed away in St. Bacla's hospital with multiple organ failures. This means that the death toll in the Blue Diamond Crown Hotel bombing has risen to 1,337...... The Department of Homeland Security has not found a similar threat in other areas...... County police officials said they were doing their best to track down the perpetrators of the horrific bombing...... There is no evidence of a connection between the bombing and serial murderer Red Deer......"

Calvin turned off the motel's dilapidated television, and the news of staccato electric notes and strange screen flashes came to an abrupt halt, but then the near-death silence quickly filled the room.

Hmm, or the word "quiet" isn't particularly appropriate. There are still many other sounds here, and this building, built 30 years ago, doesn't provide much sound insulation.

The noise outside the window (mostly from the group of children yelling in the pool), the sound of men and women in the next room making further physical contact, and the weak hum of the air conditioner in the room...... The sounds are mixed together, forming a kind of contrast.

Contrast another level of solemnity and dead silence.

Calvin sat on the couch with a blank face, staring at the blank television screen for a moment.

Then he got up and moved to the window.

Reid wasn't in the room, and half an hour earlier, he had tenderly kissed Calvin's forehead and said he needed to go out and do something small, Calvin guessed he was preparing for their escape.

Oh, and by the way, Reed's leg injury had healed a lot, and he'd healed a little faster than normal, like Calvin's wings.

Calvin's wings had grown many new feathers, each one as white and soft as before, if the sun was pointed at a certain angle, the surface of the feathers would glow with a layer of mother-of-pearl iridescent, and Calvin didn't know if it was his own delusion, he always felt that his wings seemed to become larger after the new feathers grew.

Calvin preferred to believe that it was all because of Fugg, and of course, there might be other explanations, but Calvin refused to explore too much so as not to drive it crazy.

He unconsciously touched his shoulder, and at a moment's notice, the air in the room flickered, and Calvin's fingertips touched the smooth surface of the feather—Calvin found that his control over his wings had increased considerably after the burn.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, twice, pause, and then two more.

Calvin opened the door, and a man turned sideways and slipped in through the narrow crack in the door.

"There's a reservoir not far from here. There's a nice vacation home next door, but many people have already checked out early and left because of the bombing. I got to know the lovely lady and she said she would give me a discount if I wanted to. ”

The man smiled and said to Calvin.

He has very ordinary brown curls and underneath a rather ugly picture of old-fashioned tortoiseshell glasses. He filled in his forehead and cheeks, and painted sunburn marks on the tips of his nose and ears.

Then the most terrifying thing was probably the Vietnamese flower shirt on his body, the skin exposed from the neckline was red, and he suddenly looked like he had been baptized by the sun.

Either way, Reed looks like the most ordinary beachgoer.

"I told the lady that I had just escaped from the sea...... Well, because of the bombing of the Blue Diamond Crown Hotel, my vacation was almost ruined. But I really didn't want to just run back to the boring concrete city, but I wanted to find a quieter place to spend the rest of my vacation. And most importantly, I've hooked up with the 'young', 'shy' and good-natured beauty next door to me. He and I, as well as the friend who was in the way and needed rehabilitation, felt that we could act together. So I really appreciated her discount and then I asked for that lakeside holiday home......"

Calvin looked at Reed like this, crossed his hands around his chest, and raised an eyebrow.

"Young, shy, and kind-hearted?

He made a little joke.

Reed's smile deepened.

Yes, since his injuries were almost healed, he had made up a person for himself who was completely different from his original image.

A boring sassy web engineer or something. Reid climbed out of the motel window and opened a room for himself in his new identity. Under his elaborate performances, for the guests and operators of this motel, three people live in these two houses.

Calvin and his friends from a car accident who needed rehabilitation, as well as an outsider who clearly took a fancy to Calvin.

"You've had a lot of trouble trying to confuse the would-be investigators. Calvin stared at Reed's makeup and smiled wryly, no matter how many times he looked at it, he couldn't get used to Reed's vulgar and ugly face now.

"The two men walking together are a little too conspicuous everywhere. Especially if they don't look for other women. Reid shrugged, "And the homosexual identity may be able to hide a little, but those people can also think that maybe it's just a pretense." Theoretically, ...... 'fugitives' like me and you will not allow outsiders to come into contact. ”

"So all things considered, if someone really finds out here, they won't immediately think that the three entangled men are the people they are looking for, I know all of this, you explained it, but you still look ugly now. ”

Calvin picked up Reed's words.

"Hey, I said this wasn't the best way to go. Reed muttered a little childishly, and then he gave Calvin a deep look.

"I refuse. Calvin replied coldly.

I don't know when he and Reed had a wonderful understanding of themselves, and they didn't even need words to know some of each other's thoughts. For example, now, before Reed could speak, Calvin directly rejected the offer to disguise himself as a woman.

"It's a pity. ”

Reed said with a pretended frustration.

"Then I'll have to keep my stupid persona, and you'll have to put up with my ugly face—" Reed pointed to his face and said quickly, "Okay, don't look at me like that, I'll go get the keys and rent the car now, and if all goes well, maybe the two of us can get out of this damn motel tonight." ”

Calvin looked at the door that had been closed again after Reed left, and he couldn't help but sigh—

Although Reid has always been relaxed and comfortable in front of him, Calvin is well aware of how grim the reality is. The bombing of the Blue Diamond Crown Hotel has forced almost everyone's attention to that seaside resort city.

And everyone who has been in and out of the hotel in the first place, including the non-existent "Mr. R", will be tracked down and investigated in detail.

Calvin couldn't imagine what would happen to him and Reed once the two of them were caught. Before that big explosion, he and Reed had easily made a very small explosion.

And then, there was the explosion itself......

It was a fire that seemed to burn the whole world.

That all of this made Calvin feel uneasy. Absurdly absurd, Calvin had heard more than once in his nightmares someone whispering in his ear that the burning city and the world would be dedicated to him.

["Burn them all—"]

At this moment, no lifeless voice came from behind Calvin.

Calvin's body froze, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

He heard a dripping, sticky, wet sound, the sound of blood, the sound of rotting bodies moving.
