263 Chapter 263
Presumably because he was immersed in the memories, Calvin didn't feel like he was asleep—or rather, he felt like he had only slept for a short while.
But when he opened his eyes again, the cracks in the blinds that looked like they hadn't been scrubbed in a hundred years were filled with bright sunlight.
Calvin stared at the sunlight for a moment, and the thick layers of dust and cobwebs and dust flakes appeared in the light, but the shadows beyond the light were also very thick. OK
He heard the slow, regular breathing of Joyce and Han, not far from him. He turned his head sideways, and saw the two men lying on the ground in a position that was uncomfortable at first glance, and fell asleep.
A little farther away, on the only bed in this humble apartment, Izak was asleep with his eyes closed.
Resurrecting from a severe gunshot wound was not entirely unharmed, even after a full night, his face still looked abnormally grayish, his head tilted back slightly, his breathing short, his lips chapped and bloodless, as if he was going to die of extreme weakness in the next second—
Calvin felt an indescribable pang of anxiety and fear.
He sat up from the couch abruptly, and the spring of the old couch cushion made a screeching sound.
Calvin's action was stunned by this.
Joyce and Han should have been awakened by the terrible noise, but they just turned around with a frown and went back to sleep.
"Don't worry, I gave them some medication to relieve their emotional anxiety, and it was very difficult for them to be woken up for the stipulated time. ”
A pair of hands rested lightly on Calvin's shoulders, and then the voice of the red deer rang out, as if he didn't need words to communicate with Calvin.
Calvin couldn't help but look at the red deer, and then he was slightly in a trance.
At this moment, almost everyone in the safe house looked haggard and tired (even those as tough as Joyce had aged as old as ten years in this time), with the exception of Red Deer.
The former death row inmate, serial murderer, and split personality is like a monster born with the ability to draw invisible nourishment from human suffering and chaos. Even after all the horrific and bizarre events, he still looks radiant and radiant...... It could even be said that he was more handsome, younger, and more seductive than when he first appeared in Calvin's presence.
And he's real.
Calvin had always known that there was unspeakable evil hidden beneath the red deer's extraordinarily beautiful appearance, but it was precisely because of this that he was better than Calvin had received before, the so-called family, fatherly love, and peaceful life...... Be more realistic.
At this moment, Calvin suddenly wanted to kiss the red deer.
And he did.
At first, Red Deer was a little surprised, but then he took the initiative, and his feedback to Calvin was so strong that it seemed that he was going to split Calvin's whole body into small pieces of flesh and devour him in the next second.
"Hmm......"
Calvin let out a low grunt, his fingertips crumpling Red Deer's shirt.
It was a long time before the red deer let go of Calvin, who gasped and stared back slightly at the latter's face.
The red deer did not seem to be truly satisfied (although Calvin had faintly tasted the faint touch of blood in his mouth), and the evidence was that his turquoise eyes still gleamed with bloodthirsty eyes, like a ferocious beast that had not eaten enough in the depths of the woods.
Calvin licked his lips unconsciously, but when the tip of his tongue touched a certain part of his lips, the smell of rust and a faint tingling came at the same time, proving that Calvin's previous perception of the extreme greed and thirst that came from the red deer was not imaginary.
The red deer did bite Calvin.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of control. ”
Red Deer's eyes darkened, and his voice darkened as he stared at the red blood beads that continued to spill from the small wound on Calvin's lips.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Calvin said calmly.
What he didn't tell Reddeer was that in a sense he was even a little eager for Reddeer to hurt him—or hurt him. Only this pain can give Calvin some sense of reality.
When he finally realized last night that Dr. Holden had something to do with his background, he had been in this illusory state.
He didn't feel sad, he wasn't shocked, he wasn't incredulous.
He simply felt that his past was like a long, fragile dream, so that he could not find the reality of life at all.
Thankfully, he also has the red deer by his side.
This man certainly has his evil side, but he has always been so vivid in Calvin's empty life that it seems to be some kind of coordinate, barely mooring Calvin in the nightmare of reality.
Calvin's apathy certainly couldn't have escaped Red Deer's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Red Deer leaned over and asked with concern.
Calvin raised his hand and gently stroked the red deer's face.
"I'm thinking...... You're such a terrible monster. Calvin said softly, pausing for a moment, then smiling at the red deer, "And I'm a monster too. ”
That's why I'm so uncontrollably attracted to you.
Red Deer's pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
He sat down next to Calvin to get closer to him.
"Don't say that, you are my angel...... It is also my salvation. I may indeed be a terrible devil, poof, I won't deny this. But I'll never admit you're a monster. ”
Red Deer took one of Calvin's hands and pressed it against his chest.
"But if you were to say that you are some kind of charm that can deceive people, I would admit it...... Because you can always touch all my hearts with ease. You know, if you need it, I'm willing to give you all my soul and my heart without hesitation. ”
Red Deer said this with a smile, but the two people who heard it knew that there was not even the slightest falsehood in this statement.
"I'm a little worried about the way you look now, baby. ”
Red Deer said to Gal again.
"I'm fine, really, I just remembered something," Calvin said, and he couldn't help but glance over to Isaac again, who was still asleep.
"You know what? It was only last night that I finally realized that I had been living in a huge lie.
Calvin said bitterly.
Both Dr. Holden and Redbeard were once researchers in that terrible god-making project. It can be said that Calvin appeared in this world precisely because of the sins they committed. However, for some reason, Dr. Holden managed to escape the institute and live in the world under a different identity.
Calvin's arrival was certainly not his plan, but in the decades that followed, he did stubbornly hide everything from Calvin.
As for Redbeard...... From the beginning, Redbeard felt that Calvin was not supposed to exist in this world. Perhaps until then, he had managed to hide his murderous intent, but after Joshua threw the entire country into utter chaos, Redbeard apparently pushed everything on Calvin.
“…… He was going to kill me. ”
Calvin muttered to the Red Deer.
"So he didn't leave anyone any room for him, he was going to put me to death in the first place - Izak took everything for me. I don't think Redbeard was going to do that, he wasn't going to hurt Isaac, he was just, he just couldn't stop it. ”
Calvin kept tracing images of the attack on Isaac in his head, and it was because of this that he finally noticed the details that he had completely ignored before.
Amid the constant sound of gunfire, Redbeard realized that Calvin was the man who had been shot, but Isach, and he glanced at Calvin quickly before leaving.
At the same time, he muttered a sentence in a rapid pace and in a voice so low that it was completely inaudible—
"It's all your fault. ”】
……
"Everything is ...... Your fault?"
On the couch in the safe house, Red Deer sneered disdainfully when he heard this.
He was obviously quite unimpressed by Redbeard's words, but Calvin, who was familiar with Redbeard's steps, would not have it so easy.
"No, I can't stay here - Redbeard will find a way to get here. ”
Calvin said calmly and affirmatively.
"Maybe he did have some special source of information that made him feel that everything was mine, that everything that the country suffered was from me, or that everything was just his own prejudice...... There is only one thing that is beyond doubt, and he will use all his strength and all methods to kill me completely. ”
For this reason, he could even shoot at his son, who was once a close friend, without hesitation.
Those unfamiliar with Redbeard may have doubts about what the old man could do, but Calvin was by no means one of them. You know, Redbeard had sheltered the Holden family for many years under the fiercest search of the Advent faction, and once as an ordinary researcher, he could finally become the uncrowned king of the underground world, not by science and reason.
Calvin was glad more than once for Redbeard's fortitude and coldness when he was the patron of Calvin's family, but now he was disturbed and troubled by it.
Calvin immediately asked Red Deer to wake up Joyce and Han and ask them to protect Isaac.
As for Calvin himself and Red Deer, they left the safe house directly.
"We'll find a way to get rid of Redbeard first," Calvin said to Joyce and Han before leaving, "and if all goes well, we'll get some medicine for Isaac by the way." ”
