Chapter 4: Cinderella

For Zopyeong, who is speeding down the deserted streets, the weight of Sulfona sitting on the back of the bicycle is negligible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He gritted his teeth and rode hard, the heavy gasps that even he felt terrible. But he really wanted to stop the impending tragedy and save the girl.

Regardless of everything, he didn't listen to the sounds around him, and just followed the route that Sulfona had said. Even if your back is wet with sweat, even if your calves start to twitch faintly, you can overcome it with perseverance. When my sister had an accident, I didn't notice anything, and I didn't do anything. This opportunity must not be passed up now. When he was gritting his teeth and pedaling the bicycle in anger, Sulfona, who was sitting in the back seat, gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Mr. Zohei, there seems to be strange movement over there."

It wasn't until Sulfura alerted him that he noticed that a building not far away was constantly making a renovation-like knocking sound, some noisy sounds, and a shrill siren. It should be very conspicuous in the quiet midnight, but he just didn't notice it. Once he is immersed in something, he will ignore his surroundings, which is why he can't detect his sister's mind in time.

Hirohei and Sulfona stopped next to the building, which was pitch black and seemed to have a wild beast roaring inside. The roar was sharp and hoarse, as if it hid irrepressible anger. With the help of the faint street lamp, he saw that the windows on the third and fourth floors were shattered. Sulfona jumped off the bike with dexterity and squatted on the ground to watch for a moment. She looked carefully at the asphalt and picked up a piece of bloodstained floral cloth from it.

"It's ......"

"It looks like pieces of a girl's pajamas." Sulfona said, then slowly turned her gaze to the pitch-black building. The beastly roar, the mottled bloodstains, the fragments of the girl's pajamasβ€”and Kazeno Tokiki. It all seems to paint a story full of horror and gore.

"Is there any beast in that building? But how can there be such a thing in a city. "Is this the girl's middle school?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be." Sulfona shook her head, pointed to the sign, and said, "It seems to be a girls' high school." Someone broke into here. Fortunately, it was the middle of the night, and there should be no one inside, so there would be no innocent people affected. ”

He thought for a moment.

"Sulfona, you stay here and use your phone to call the police. I'll go in and see what's going on. ”

"......" Sulfura looked at Huanping for a while and nodded, "Please." I'll stay here and I won't give you any trouble. ”

Sulfona accurately understood the protective intentions of the Sho Ping, and did not willfully refuse. Once again, he felt that Sulfur was really a very smart girl. He felt inspired and courageous to confront the monster that was wreaking havoc in the school. The pitch-black school building has a real human touch, and he keeps moving forward with the footprints of blood left on the ground, the broken glass, and the scattered pieces of cloth. By the time he reached the fifth floor, he had already heard sirens coming from downstairs. The streets were lit up by red, swirling police lights, as if soaked in blood. The monster in the building also seemed to be aware of the arrival of the police, and it let out a terrifying roar. He ran to the sound of a roar, and finally saw a dark shadow.

The monster was much smaller than he had imagined, and it appeared to be human, holding a stick in its hand, and was firing at the locker next to the classroom. The monster raised the stick, then swung it down. During the beating, the steel lockers began to deform. But the monster didn't seem satisfied, it let out a non-human-like roar and kept waving the stick. Fragments from the end of the stick flew out and splashed into the monster's eyes, but that only made the monster more insane.

Although he didn't find the girl who was snatched by the monster, he still felt that he would subdue the monster first. In terms of body shape, Zoping still has an advantage.

"What are you doing! Don't hesitate to throw away what you have! He let out a menacing shout as hard as he could, and then kept closing in on the monster.

The monster was oppressed by the momentum of the flattening and finally retreated. It didn't seem to be wearing shoes, and just staggered across the glass shard-strewn ground, leaving bloody footprints. The pain of irritation was like an erupting flame, burning the monster's heart. Shards of glass pierced into the flesh, slicing away the monster's nerves. The large fragments pierced the soles of the feet, sinking into the flesh and bones with severe pain, rubbing against the muscles. Smaller fragments shave away the skin and penetrate deep into the exposed flesh.

The more the pieces of flesh on the soles of the feet creaked against each other, the deeper they sank into it. The oozing blood seemed to absorb tiny fragments that were invisible to the naked eye, and after sticking to the soles of the feet, pieces gradually buried into the flesh. When the next step is taken, the blood absorbs other fragments. The soles of the feet are pierced with dense fragments, and even if there is a gap, they will immediately pierce into the next fragment, sink into the fragment buried in the flesh by the weight of their weight, and step into the next fragment again.

"Squeak...... Squeak......"

The monster roared as it stumbled and ran. Several layers of dense layers went straight to the bone, and a mixture of blood, flesh, and glass clinging to the monster's feet, which drove it crazy. As if overwhelmed by the pain, the monster kept running down the glass walkway. The hard glass that sank into the soles of his feet and the hard linoleum materials laid in the hallway rubbed against each other, and this feeling turned into an unpleasant tingling pain that went straight to the nerves. The pain aggravated by the weight caused the burning pain and unpleasant touch sensation in the feet to rush to the door of the head every time I ran, and a large amount of cold sweat flowed all over my body. Even the chasing after him felt that it was really torture - but the monster was still running.

The stick in its hand had long since been lost to where it had been thrown, and it was covered with dust. But the monster leaned frantically and howled. He followed it closely, and he finally understood what the monster was saying.

"Not ...... enough"

"It's not enough ......"

"It's not enough compared to the land I lost!"

The words slammed into Hirohei's heart like a hard fist. That kind of wanton unwillingness and resentment, even outsiders can be involuntarily infected. The monster was running and venting his feelings. It was the police who also stormed the empty school building, brandishing batons and shouting loudly. The monster panicked even more, and it ran down the stairs in a panic, stepping on shards of blood, dust, and glass. The blood trail in the staircase was shocking, and he suddenly felt something bad as he looked at the path made of blood and glass shards.

"Hey! I say! Calm down! In that case......"

It seems that the reminder of the flat is a little late. The monster running down the stairs didn't notice what was underfoot. The blood-stained ground and smooth glass make the staircase very dangerous, and the monsters are accidentally out of balance when they are dominated by exhaustion and anger. The limbs that had reached the limit of walking suddenly lost their strength, and the monster's body was thrown into the air by herself, and it flew fiercely towards the window. The window glass that could have been blocked a little has long since been shattered by the monster itself.

"Ahh

The monster seemed to wake up at the last moment and came back to its senses. She sighed deeply as she watched herself leaping in mid-air illuminated by the flashing police lights downstairs. At that moment, Hoehei finally saw the monster's face clearly. It was the face of a girl stained with exhaustion, blood, and dust, and it was only then that he realized that what he thought was the monster he had seen in the night a few days ago. Blankly, he reached out to grab her, but the distance was far from enough.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” bang.

The girl was thrown down the stairs in the middle of the night.

The police surrounded him. Red blood spread from around the girl's dead-gray body, on the stone floor of the school building. The girl's body did not move, her hands, feet, and hair, twisted by the throwing to the ground, spread miserably on the floor like a dead insect. She was dressed only in tattered pajamas like rags, and her feet were studded with shards of glass, losing their original shape. Sulfona stood at the doorway of the school building and watched the scene quietly, with no expression on her face.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Didn't I say that? ”

A low whisper suddenly sounded behind Sulfona. She turned her head and quietly stepped out of the darkness the girl she thought was dressed in a full-body Gothic Lolita costume, her face reflecting a handicraft glow in the light of the red police lights. The moment she saw this girl, she understood that this was the legendary Kazeno Tokitsuki who wandered in the night. has a breathtaking beauty, and it doesn't look like a living person.

Tokitsuki Kazeno didn't pay attention to Sulfur, just muttered to herself.

"As I said, you're Cinderella, just like I said."

After Tokitsuki Kazeno finished speaking, he lowered his eyes. The fair-skinned slender neck also swayed slightly. After making a gesture of farewell, she turned slightly, ready to step away.

"That...... Please wait a minute. ”

"......" Kazeno Tokiki stood still and paused for a while, then finally came over, "Are you calling me?" ”

Sulfur took a few steps and approached Kazeno Tokitsuki. Just by doing so, Sulfona felt the temperature around her drop by a few degrees. She handed the utility knife wrapped in the bloody bandage to Kazuno Tokitsuki. Tokitsuki Kazeno was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the utility knife from Sulfur's hand.

"If you lose it, it will be very troublesome, right?" Sulfona smiled slightly.

Tokitsuki Kazeno frowned.

"Did that nasty man tell you that?"

"If you're referring to Mr. Zohei, that's right."

Tokitsuki Kazeno looked at Sulfur as if she had seen something unusual.

"By that point, you should already know who I am. Even so, do you still want to talk to me? ”

"That's right." Sulfona stared at the goth girl in front of her, "I just want to ask you somethingβ€”what do you mean by 'Cinderella'?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So, do you know the story of Cinderella? Tokitsuki Kazeno gently turned his gaze to the school building where the sirens were blaring, and began to speak.
