Chapter 81: Escape
Royce came out of the small hotel, he felt that he should go to the restaurant where he worked to settle his salary, then go to the school to apply for a suspension, and finally leave the place temporarily. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info left Los Angeles and came back to finish his studies when everything was calm.
Returning to the restaurant first, Royce dragged his injured leg and limped to the boss, and after settling the salary, the boss also gave him a thousand dollars in passing, because Royce was injured and because of his excellent performance during the work. Royce did not refuse. He now needs money to run away.
Then I went to school again. However, I had trouble applying for a leave of absence from school. Although his leg injury was a reason to suspend his studies, the school could only give him a three-month leave of absence, after which he could only withdraw from school, but he could retain his credits. As for going back to school, Royce had to reapply.
Although the suspension was only three months, Royce found it acceptable. After all, three months can make you disappear for a while, and let yourself calm and calm. Use this time to adjust your mood, and hope that during this time, Cathy will not appear in front of her and forget about her poor person.
He didn't have anything to pack, so he simply carried a few books on his backpack and left school. Just when he appeared at the school gate, he stopped, turned around and wanted to run in, but someone grabbed his hand.
Cathy's movements were fast, and the distance between the two was not far, so Royce couldn't escape even if he wanted to. He didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear that Cathy would be angry for a while, and he would never leave alive and unwhole. So he was pulled by Cathy and got into a car on the side of the road.
It was the second-hand car that the two of them bought together, seeing this, Royce couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart, after all, the relationship between the two was not like this, because of fear, there was no concern.
"Get in the car—" Cathy's voice was resolute, but not for Royce to resist.
Royce still wanted to resist, but was gently pushed by Cathy, and his resistance was unloaded without hesitation, and he said to himself secretly: I want to hear how you explain. In fact, under Cathy's beautiful face, even if he saw that frightening side, he couldn't help but take off his defense.
Cathy closed the co-pilot's door, and then drove away from the school quickly, on the highway, Royce looked at her coldly, and Cathy didn't say a word, and the two formed a strange and solemn atmosphere.
"I'd like to hear your explanation." In the end, Royce couldn't help it, he looked at Cathy, gritted his teeth, he felt now, Cathy would not hurt himself, at least from her current performance and his confidence in the relationship between the two, let him know that Cathy would never hurt herself.
Because as long as Cathy thought in her heart, she would have died a long time ago, and she would have too many opportunities to kill herself instead of waiting until now. This is a kind of emotional pain that people will face when they are sober.
Cathy slammed on the brakes, quickly turned the steering wheel, and parked the car on the side of the road, then looked at Royce seriously and said, "You're right, I should explain to you, I'm a monster - you can see it, I'm a monster like that, I'm a cursed soul." ”
Royce stammered, still stunned to hear Cathy admit that she was a monster again.
"I know you don't want to admit it, but I am." Cathy was a little emotional, she just glanced at the stunned Royce, but looked at the winding road ahead, and took a deep breath, "You see the way I am now, I was the way I was when I was alive." ”
Royce stammered, "You...... You...... Alive, my God, you've ......"
"That's right, I'm dead, ten years ago, I was dead." This seemed to touch Cathy's heart, and her face became very depressed, "I died in a car accident, and the damn perpetrator escaped and has not caught anyone so far." My parents are divorced, and neither of them wants to mention me......"
"But...... How did you become like this now...... Why are you still alive......" Words immediately came to Royce's head, such as evil spirits, ghosts, and so on.
"That's why I'm like this because of the curse." Cathy pursed her lips and adjusted her emotions before she said to Royce, "I have the souls and bodies of people who have died like me, all of whom are cursed. ”
"Oh my God, what's going on in this world? Am I crazy, or are you crazy? Royce hugged his head. Now that it's all true, what else can he do?
"Yes, it's a crazy world." Cathy actually agreed with this sentence, "After I was cursed, I was able to change my skin at will." As long as I have my eye on someone, I can change that person's skin and put it on my body. I can be exactly like that person. ”
Unbelievable words continued to bubble out of Cathy's mouth.
"But I never had ...... So this skin is still my own. I had to take it off every time my skin was damaged and use a paintbrush to fix it myself. ”
"Who-" Royce thought he might collapse if he listened any longer.
"A man that none of us can afford to mess with." When Cathy heard this, her whole body tightened, she felt like she had been whipped up, her body trembled suddenly, and her voice trembled.
"I said, who is it?" Royce was a rare cringe to his own problems. Blood-red eyes glared at Cathy.
Cathy was silent, her eyes became a little erratic, but looking at Royce's eyes, full of anger, doubt and determination, her heart trembled slightly, but she slowly spoke, she took a deep breath, and suddenly a word came out of her mouth.
"Witch—"
Witch, as soon as the word was spoken, suddenly a gust of wind came out of a bush on the side of the road, blowing the branches crookedly, and also blowing into Cathy's car, and suddenly the cold of the mutation whistled by, making Cathy's heart become cold.
"Witches? Ha ha...... It's the funniest I've ever heard......" Royce laughed, how could he think the story was so ridiculous? But then he stopped. Originally, this incident revealed the absurdity. So I had to take a deep breath.
"Why did you bring me here? Why me? "Royce wasn't that scared anymore, so what he wanted to figure out most now was why.
Perhaps it was the gust of wind that scared Cathy a little, and she didn't immediately answer Royce's words.
This brief hesitation made Royce a little annoyed, and shouted at Cathy, "Why me? Am I just your prey? What you're hunting for? I know...... ALL WITCHES HAVE SOME FRIGHTENING HABITS, SUCH AS DRINKING HUMAN BLOOD, EATING PEOPLE'S HEARTS, AND EVEN EATING MEN'S. You tell me you found me for the sake of witches? "It's a thorn in Royce's heart.
"Yes, in the beginning, I was for the witch, and she did want the blood of a man to keep her alive and her face not to grow old, but ...... Later it wasn't, because ......"
"Because of what? Is there a more noble reason? Royce felt like his heart was dead.
"Yes-" Cathy suddenly yelled at Royce, her voice was very sharp, and Royce was immediately frightened, Cathy turned her head to look at him with tears on her face, and said word by word, "Because I love you!" ”
Cathy's words made Royce stunned, and his chest rose and fell rapidly. It was the answer he wanted, but how he didn't want it to be the answer Cathy was telling him now. For she is a cursed soul and body.
"I said, I love you, that's why I'm taking you out, I'm going to take you to the airport now, and if it's too late, someone else will come and take you. They're all cursed like me. Cathy looked at Royce and then at the sky outside.
The sky seems to be getting dark.
Black clouds seemed to be converging from all directions, and after a cold wind blew, it seemed that a bigger storm was brewing, and the thicker and thicker clouds made the sky darker and darker.
A bolt of lightning suddenly snaked down from the clouds like a snake......
