Chapter Seventy-One: After the Attack

"Dan, come here, see what I've found?" Dan heard Keith's voice and ran over, "It's a pigeon." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"What's wrong with it?" Dan asked.

"The wing is broken, and we can take care of it until it recovers. Come on, help me catch it. Look, it'll fly again. But just as Keith was saying pitifully, a large rock suddenly appeared in his sight, and mercilessly smashed the pigeon's body, directly smashing the pigeon to death.

"No, why did you do that, why did you kill it?" Keith yelled at Dan.

"It's weak." Dan, who looked like he was only a few years old, said coldly.

"I'm going home." Keith left disappointed, leaving Dan there looking at the pigeon he had stoned to death, but there was no regret in his eyes.

Dan stood in the crowd at Keith's funeral, looking at Keith's coffin with the same look he had when he had looked at the pigeon.

The priest was reading, wishing Keith to go up to heaven and appease his spirits.

"If I had the wings of a pigeon, I would go away and rest in peace. He broke his oath, his mouth slipped into the cream, but his heart was full of murder. God, he will send the wicked into the pit of destruction. He who sheds blood and deceits will not live half his life. ā€

Just as everyone was remembering Keith, Dan suddenly saw Keith, a young child, walking out slowly in the distance, standing behind a tombstone, smiling at him. It was a smile, but the smile was full of ridicule and disdain, and then slowly left.

At the wake party hosted by the Karen family for Keith, everyone was talking about Keith.

"They had prepared 200 people to keep a vigil for him, but 2,000 came."

"Everybody liked Keith, I was very skilled, but he gave me the opportunity to work part-time jobs during the summer because he knew I needed money."

"We spent the whole summer with him and talked to him about old-fashioned basketball. I, big mouth. ā€

"And Jamie." Big Mouth walked over and stood aside, "Jamie's funeral is on Tuesday. ā€

When he said these words, everyone present bowed their heads in silence. This person may have been his friend or student, but he did things that were not tolerated, desecrating the sacred school, desecrating the innocent friendship of classmates, and desecrating the care of his elders.

"Jamie Edwards killed my uncle." Lucas's voice was full of anger, and only anger, "Don't mention his name in my mother's house." ā€

Peyton walked in with his dad on crutches. Many of his classmates gathered around, all of whom knew that Peyton had been wounded by a gunshot.

Peyton's father walked up to Lucas: "Lucas, I'm so sorry. I would also like to thank you for saving my daughter. ā€

......

"Today we are returning to school with a heavy heart, and I think you have noticed some changes as well. At the entrance of the school you will notice a metal detector. This is for your safety. In the school you will notice the guards who are wearing weapons, and they are also there for your safety. We can make schools safer, we can find ways to protect you, but there is no precaution that can heal your wounded hearts. I encourage you to talk to your teacher or counselor. Get together and talk to each other. If you feel scared, if you feel weak and lost, don't keep it in your heart and say it. You're not alone, it's your school. ā€

Lucas quietly came to a corner of the library, and there was a man in front of him on crutches, it was Peyton.

"We really shouldn't meet like this." Lucas said.

"I haven't even thanked you properly." Peyton said, tears rolling in his eyes.

"Hey. Okay, that's okay. Lucas hurriedly shook Payton's hand.

"Look, I've got that." Peyton hurriedly rubbed his eyes shyly, rubbing them red.

"You love me." Lucas suddenly came up with a nonsensical sentence, another joke, and changed the atmosphere for a while.

"Okay, that's not fair." Peyton glared at Lucas.

"Maybe you want to kiss me." Lucas shrugged his shoulders and smirked.

"Don't say it, yes, I kissed you, but at that time, I thought I was going to die, and you took care of me, so ...... We ......," Peyton explained earnestly.

Lucas suddenly laughed and looked at Peyton's serious look. Suddenly he realized that although the smile was gone, Lucas had to admit that this was the happiest smile in recent times, and it was a serious smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes. I know. Lucas said as he looked around, "If I said I love you, would you be angry and blame me?" ā€

"Lucas, when I said I love you......" Peyton said with great embarrassment.

"That's true, Payton. That's okay, but, uh... There's another girl, you may know her, Brooke Davis. I love her with all my heart now. Lucas said slowly.

"You don't know how relieved I am to be able to hear this." Payton finally smiled for the first time, "I'm scared things are going to change badly, I really don't want that." Are we alright, Lucas? ā€

With Lucas's affirmative nod, Payton finally let go of the stone in his heart.

"I'm leaving." Peyton said.

"Peyton, I'm so sorry about your mother's business, two mothers. I don't think I supported you enough, and I solemnly apologize to you. Lucas suddenly called out to Peyton and said something seemingly inconsequential, but Peyton understood that not many people knew about his mother, and Lucas was one of them. I have two mothers, one mother is a mother who raised herself from childhood to adulthood, and on the way to send herself to school, she was in a hurry to drive because of the late time. That was the first time my mother ran a red light, but that time, life sometimes doesn't allow people to make a little mistake. Car accident, car accident took the life of his own mother. And the second mother is her own biological mother, the biological mother who gave birth to herself and then cruelly discarded it. After going through all kinds of things, when I finally accepted my mother again, tragedy happened again, it turned out that my biological mother had breast cancer, and it was already in the advanced stage. In order to be able to shine in front of her, her mother refused her own treatment. After spending a month with him, Peyton finds his mother's body in his mother's bedroom, and Peyton goes to see her this time to show her comics.

"Do you know how happy Keith is for you right now?" Peyton laughed.

"I don't know if it's true or not?" Lucas laughed similarly.

"Really, let Brooke help you through this, okay? Don't say no to her. Payton looked at Lucas earnestly.

"What did he say to you?" Lucas asked.

"No, I know what kind of person you are because I'm just like you. She gave her heart to you, Lucas. You should reciprocate. Good bye. Peyton walked away slowly on crutches.

"Hey, stop kissing people." Lucas said suddenly.

Peyton jerked back and glared at him angrily, "You big villain." ā€

......

On Tuesday, unlike Keith's funeral, Jamie's mom stood alone and listened to the pastor's prayers. No friends, no loved ones, no flowers and no condolences. Big Mouth had been ready to come here, but the thought of his brother Skiles's disappearance, Lucas's grief-stricken eyes, the deceased was gone, and he could not afford to lose his last friend. Big Mouth eventually gave up as well.

Jamie's mother stood still for a long time, thinking about every minute and every second she and her son had spent. But at that moment, she suddenly realized that her son had never smiled at her. She tried to remember, and then she was even more sad to find that she hadn't even smiled at her son. All he showed to his son was a tightening of his eyebrows, expectant eyes, and a sigh of disappointment. Her tears flowed and flowed like a flood that burst its banks, and it was not until it was dark that she staggered out of the cemetery.

Although they are in the same sky, the night in the cemetery is always so silent, dead and silent. A few swishes sounded, but no one was seen, which added a bit of horror. As he spoke, it was late at night, and midnight was coming.

Yes!!!

A hoarse and dull voice suddenly sounded, which was terrifying.

Boom!!!

The fresh earth that had just been filled in was broken open by a pale palm. Only one palm was exposed, and the palm was not bloody, and the whole hand was like white paper. It first rotated, stretched out, stretched out, and clutched, and moved several times.

Boom!!! Another palm was exposed, doing the same thing.

The two palms began to pull at the dirt in front of them. One, two...... Constantly pulling, no tiredness at all, speed like a robot, no change, not even the shape of the hand from beginning to end.

For a full quarter of an hour, a huge hole appeared there. A round body crawled out of it. It slowly got up, its head slowly raised. A pair of eyes as black as the night sky, without any whites, and the skin on its body was as pale as paper as its hands.

Oh!!!

Suddenly put his hands together and roared angrily. Its teeth, which had been neat, suddenly grew at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. It was just the blink of an eye, the fangs, the two-inch-long teeth exuding a cold white light and showing bloody. On the originally pale skin, blood-red capillaries appeared on the skin everywhere like tattoos. The back slowly arched, and the originally chubby body quickly lost weight, because the arch of the back was revealed.

The corners of its mouth slowly raised a hideous arc, and with its cold fangs, it reminded people of a hungry wolf. But before it could laugh wildly, suddenly a waterfall-like liquid fell from the sky from the tree next to it, pouring it through.

"Do you think I'm a novice? Lie to me. Lucy jumped down from the tree in disdain, still dressed in a tight black suit.

Roar!!!

It roared madly at Lucy. In such a short period of time, it clearly remembered the hateful human in front of it, the hateful human who had killed itself in the school before. Now that it has been completely liberated, it is going to tear this hateful humanity to shreds.

"What a fool." Lucy said with disdain.

Lucy's expression made it pause, this human was not afraid of herself. The nose sniffs, as if there is something smelling. It sniffed carefully at its arm, the pungent smell. It raised its head in horror and tried to retreat, but it was too late, because it had unwittingly rushed to a position close to Lucy three meters away, and Lucy was playfully holding a lighter with fire in her hand at this time.

"Goodbye." Lucy smiled lovely, and with a flick of her hand, the lighter drew a beautiful arc and fell on it in its desperate eyes.
