Let's turn back the clock a little bit, maybe a day, maybe two days.

Calvin had not yet met Madeleine, who was suffering from a wound in his back in a modest motel...... Red Deer is keen to play another young and stupid gay tourist.

Madeleine is still the mad ninja that everyone avoids in the park, wandering the streets in search of her delusional daughter who is still alive......

When the three of them had not yet met in that humble holiday cottage by the lake.

A few hundred kilometers away from them, the seaside town that became world-famous because of the explosion of the Blue Diamond Crown Hotel. A man was sitting on a couch, slowly wiping a Japanese knife in his hand.

"Woo...... Woo......"

A woman fell to the ground with a bruised face, her eyes wide open, glaring at the uninvited guest in front of her. Maybe it was because of the beating, or maybe it was because of the excessive horror, and her face took on a blank and wooden expression.

She didn't seem to have fully understood the situation, didn't understand why she suddenly fell into such a miserable situation, and didn't understand why someone would treat her like this.

"Don't be afraid," the man noticed the woman's gaze, and he grinned at her, showing his yellowed teeth and crooked chin, "I already know pretty much everything I need to know, and the rest is just to make sure the information is correct." You know, the police one...... Ask questions over and over again, reversing the order of events to make sure that every piece of information is true and valid. Oh my God, their tricks are torturous, but they work, don't they? The only regret is that I didn't play the 'good cop, bad cop' game with you this time. Because I accidentally killed my partner yesterday, hahahahaha-"

The man seemed to find his words really amused, and he leaned back in laughter for a moment before he stopped.

He only turned on one of the reading lamps in the sofa area, and in the light of that lamp, the knife in his hand looked particularly sharp and cold.

"Come on, let's move on - that man, he calls himself 'Mr. R' and walks through the VIP passage inside the hotel, right? The man next to him, you just think he's beautiful, do you see his hair color or his pupils? Just a little bit, tell me a little bit more about that young man. ”

The man grabbed one of the woman's hands, and he rubbed the woman's bloody fingers.

"I don't know...... I swear...... I didn't notice the man at all, all the rich people who come to the Blue Diamond Hotel to spend money are more or less quirky, they are really too ordinary, I really don't know ......"

The woman whimpered.

If Calvin or Reddeer were here, it might take them a while to get the bruised woman in front of them with the blonde, blue-eyed hotel butler from before.

She was lucky enough to avoid the horrific explosion – the explosion and the fire happened at a time when she was being forced to take time off work to rest at home due to severe physical discomfort. After all, no rich man likes to see a woman with a pale face, red eyes, and a snot hanging nose lingering around them.

But this great luck seems to have turned into equal misfortune at this time.

A man, burly with an indifferent expression, broke into her home at night.

Then he started asking her about the gay couple.

Oh yes, of course she remembered those two guys.

It was the last guest of her career, the mysterious "Mr. R" and his slender, elf-like male companion who was always dodgy. She even felt a faint trace of regret when she knew that the two of them had died in the fire, and then that regret was quickly overwhelmed by the joy of surviving herself. But now, she began to regret that she hadn't paid more attention, and that she should have tried to remember as much as she could so that she could survive......

"I'm sorry...... Give me a moment. I think I'll remember, please, I'll remember......"

She cried and muttered.

"Oh, you'd better think a little more. ”

Hearing the lines that were already completely familiar, the man let out a mutter, as if in distress.

Then he pulled out the needle-nose pliers he used to repair used appliances.

"No......" When the woman saw the familiar tool, her whole person seemed to be about to faint.

"I think I should give you a little motivation to think more. ”

The man slowly grabbed the woman's fingers and placed the needle-nosed pliers on her fingernails......

……

After a few moments, the man wiped his fingers with a handkerchief.

He walked out of the woman's apartment very calmly.

Then he took out his mobile phone and called out a string of numbers to the person on the other end of the phone, which were the last digits of the credit card number.

“…… Yes, congratulations, it's a black card, and now the range has been narrowed down a lot...... Cross-compare the list of people who have used this card in Sunset Town...... It's likely that they didn't use the same card, but there must be a connection between their accounts......"

The man walked towards his car, which was a featureless Japanese Honda, black, with a real license plate number, but once he was found, the car would be a stolen vehicle.

Those people will always arrange everything well.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, I need you to look up a license plate. ”

The man only remembered the man from the used car company when he saw his car - it would be more accurate to refer to it as "corpse" now.

It was easy for the man to remember, with his little help, that a man had come to his little dilapidated company and bought a car after the explosion at the Blue Diamond Crown Hotel.

The man still remembered that he was a young man.

"I think he should be very handsome, yes, I ...... I didn't see his face...... But, oh my, oh my, I'm not lying, he has a special temperament about him, and just by looking at his form you can see that he's different...... At first I thought he was some kind of star...... He's a little bit injured, yes, I'm sure, I can smell that smell on him, my wife worked in a coffee shop ten years ago and she was burned by the steam from a faulty commercial coffee machine, I know the smell of medicine...... She's been dead for years, but when I go into the bedroom and lie on the bed, I can still smell her. I can swear, sir, please, everything I say is true. I was a little worried about him, I asked him if he needed help and he said no, I was sure there was another person in the car when he drove away...... Please, don't kill me, I have money, you can take all the money, I swear I won't call the police, I swear...... God, I don't know, I don't know where he's going, he's paying in cash, I think, I mean, I think he's going to be driving inland......"]

The man sat in the car, and he listened to the questions and answers of the man from the used car company on the tape recorder before he died.

Then he pressed the replay button and listened to it again from the beginning.

"Inland ......"

He muttered and repeated.

And shortly after his car started and drove into the night, screams of terror erupted almost simultaneously in the woman's apartment and in the home of the owner of the second-hand car dealership.

……

Advent Truth Town

"You've got news about your brother. ”

Joshua sat on a large stone seat made of white marble and gold (this seat looked closer to an altar from a distance).

Draped in a soft woolen blanket, he looked in the distance with unnatural blue eyes at Kara, a former CIA member and now Adventist core elder, who had just hung up the phone just seconds earlier.

Joshua turned his head to him and said, using an affirmative sentence instead of a question.

"Tell me you found him. ”

Kara looked back at Joshua calmly.

"One of my puppies found some clues and they were working on it. He said.

Joshua frowned.

His skin was paler than normal, his hair had just been bleached, and it was a little lifeless scattered behind him, and it looked more like a puff of unprocessed nylon than long silver hair.

His pupils were darker than ever - he had also undergone a new round of pupil pigment injections, which had made his eyeballs so bloodshot that his eyes looked almost completely red, and the dark blue iris seemed to be glued to the black pupils, presenting a frightening, black hole-like visual effect.

His whole person looked artificial, with flawless skin and overly delicate and symmetrical features, which were not as artificial, so for most people, Joshua still conformed to their aesthetics.

But as Joshua became more demanding and more frequent in his appearance, Joshua's face and body seemed to be unconsciously alienated......

Even for someone like Kara, who has almost no mood swings, he still feels an instinctive palpitation when he sees Joshua from a few special angles.

It was a kind of physical instinct of fear and disgust.

No one dared to say it, but everyone was vaguely aware that Joshua was collapsing.

His appearance and mind are distorted to varying degrees - which makes him occasionally look like some kind of alien creature rather than a human.

"Just a clue?"

Joshua said dissatisfied.

"Whoever accompanied the first Holy Son, he must have been very good at covering up his tracks. Elder Cara calmly replied, "His presence caused us a lot of trouble, and it wasn't until after the strange explosion and fire at the Blue Diamond Crown Hotel that we finally found some clues—we had found something in Sunset before, but we didn't expect them to be related to the first Son Calvin, and it wasn't until the Blue Diamond incident that we were able to reassemble and connect those fragments and information." ”

"One of them must have gone wrong. ”

Joshua gnawed at his fingers, and he muttered under his breath.

"Yes. ”

Kara bowed her head respectfully in front of Joshua.

He was not surprised that he then heard Joshua's strange and intimidating laughter.

There were goosebumps on Kara's back, and Joshua's incomprehensible, and even more logically inexplicable mindset made him tremble when he was happy or dissatisfied.

"Give me your phone. ”

Suddenly, Joshua held out his hand to Kara.

Kara respectfully handed his phone to Joshua, who rubbed the little wonder cube of metal and plastic with some curiosity, his pupils darkened, and his fingers lightly touched the phone's screen.

"Click-"

At that moment, the glass on the surface of the phone cracked into a fine cobweb centered on his fingertips at Joshua's touch, and then the screen of the phone went black, and it emitted a small crackling electric sound, and then a white smoke mixed with a strange scorching smell came out of the charging port.

The phone has completely turned into a scrap of metal.

But a man who was driving found himself receiving a phone call.

He glanced at the screen, and the caller's number was followed by "Unknown".

It's weird, even a little out of the blue, because this man can only ever get calls from a fixed number.

He applied the brakes and looked at the road. He had a strong instinct in his mind not to answer the number, but again, an inexplicable desire filled his body......

He answered the call.

"Who is it?"

He said.

The man did not hear any human words...... He heard only one, similar to the rustle of many arthropods crawling on smooth metal surfaces.

"I can't hear what you're saying. ”

The man kept the posture of answering the phone, and he stared straight ahead of the road in a daze, but his vision had become dim, and there was no more light in his eyes.

His phonephone microphone grew quiet.

"I can't hear you, you, in, say, what-"

The man's voice also became choppy.

The featureless Honda he was driving slowed down the middle of nowhere, and then, suddenly, with a whining from the engine, the car picked up speed at breakneck speed, and then slammed into a tree on the side of the road.

"Bang-"

The car made a loud noise, and then black smoke kicked up.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the deformed door was pushed open from the inside of the car.

"Hmm......"

The man's face and the top of his shirt were soaked in blood, and he had a long branch stuck in his neck that had been stabbed directly into his body from the already shattered windshield.

No one would have doubted that the branch would kill a man.

But at this time, the man stood next to the car that had been smashed into scrap metal as if he didn't feel any pain at all. He even lowered his head amusefully and looked at his blood-stained hands.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

His eyeballs turned an ominous red from bloodshot, and the black eyeballs fluttered in different directions and frequencies in the wider and wider sockets.

Behind him, the car made an unsettling noise.

An orange flame lit up where the front lid of the car had been deflated.

But the man didn't even look back.

"It's going in the wrong direction. ”

The man looked up and muttered as he looked at the dark starry sky.

"It's in the wrong direction. ”】

Thousands of kilometers away, inside the Adventist church, Joshua uttered an illusory whisper at the same time.

"He's ...... ...... next to the lake"

The man, and Joshua, continued to murmur.

"A real angel, he's by the lake. ”

They said at the same time.

On the road where the accident occurred, an SUV slowed down, and a kind young couple pulled up on the side of the road and ran towards the man.

"Dude, you need help!" they shouted anxiously at the man.

One of them picked up his phone and tried to make an emergency call, but before the call could be made, the man's wet, cold palm, which had become extraordinarily sticky from blood, was on the back of the man's hand.

"I need your help. ”

He opened his blood-red eyes and said to the person in front of him.

……………

……

Time: It's 10:20 a.m

When Dr. Sara walked out of the emergency room, the first thing she saw was the man sitting in the waiting area.

Just by looking at the man, you can see his horror and despair on that pale, tortured face.

People always say that people should not be good-looking, but after so many years of working in the hospital, Sara felt that this was not true. At least someone like her: a woman, a little more experience with people, and a little good observation—all of which add up to make Sara a doctor who can be sensitive to the good and bad of others.

In her opinion, the man sitting in the waiting area is actually a good husband, and he should also be a good father. One person's care and love for another person can always be seen in the waiting area seats in the hospital.

"Mr. John Bambra?"

She called softly.

The man, John, looked up and looked at Sara in horror.

"Your wife is out of danger......," Sara said, looking at her suddenly brightened face, barely able to say the next paragraph, "but we have found a lot of signs of human abuse on your wife's body, and you may need to explain to the police the origin of those wounds......

When she said this, a faint sense of disobedience drifted through Sarah's mind.

The woman lying in the emergency room was scrawny, bruised and severely malnourished. Just by looking at the body, Sara could almost understand why the two decisive suicide scars were on her arms. The world is truly hell for some people......

But......

The man standing in front of Sara was ruddy-faced, well-nourished, the most typical and ordinary kind of male member of a middle-class family, and Sara couldn't even pick out the slightest thing wrong in him.

The kind of people who would abuse their wives, no matter how well they were well hidden, were not normal human beings after all—but not John in front of him......

Sara subconsciously looked back at the emergency room, and it was at this time that a man slowly walked out of the emergency room.

"You-"

Sarah's nerves tensed, but the man looked up and smiled at her.

"Thank you, doctor, I'm done talking to her. ”

Red Deer held out his finger and shook it slightly in front of Dr. Sarah's eyes.

"I thank you for allowing me to go into the emergency room to accompany her through this dangerous time, and thank you for allowing me to spend some time alone with her. ”

"No...... No...... Thank you ......"

Sara muttered blankly.

"So, for your own good, for the sake of world peace - I think it's better for you not to remember me, do you say?"

Reddeer continued flirtatiously, then turning his gaze to John.

"I thank you for your cooperation, really," he shook his finger in front of John with the same gesture, "and you will forget me, and then you will live the rest of your life lovingly and beautifully with your true wife." I rarely bless others, so you have to cherish them. ”

After saying this, he didn't pay any attention to the two people standing at the door of the emergency room.

He walked at a relaxed and cheerful pace towards the outside of the hospital.

…………

["Why did you kill yourself? Because of the pain?"]

["Why did you save me? In order to keep me in this pain? Or to continue to be crazy like this? Didn't you tell me those things with that guy just to see my pain? You untied my tape and told me the location of the razor on the sink, didn't you just let me die there?"]

"Oh, please, I'm just kind. To be honest, I don't think there's any good thing about your frivolous suicide, so please don't get me wrong. ”】

["Suicide...... The good thing is probably that there is finally one less incompetent and stupid mother in this world......"]

"So why can't you make your suicide more useful? Madeleine, you can make your death more ...... Something that makes sense. “】
