Viktoria woke up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She was awakened from the cold.
The petite body lay weakly on the pale sheets, and the thin old quilt was crooked over her body, but it couldn't stop the invasion of the cold demons.
“…… Mom? ”
She tried to scream, but nothing responded.
Victoria propped herself up, looking at the scene inside, slowly matching the memories in her mind, she had recognized that this was the nursing room of the only small clinic in the town.
Victoria pushed the door open and saw a figure in the outpatient hall.
"Ms. Авpopa?" Viktoria asked in a soft, uneasy voice.
As a nurse, Ms. Aurora's body was shocked, and she immediately stopped what she was doing, and turned to look at Victoria, her already serious face was full of indifference that she had never seen before, which frightened Victoria and shrank her head, and then smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, Ms. Aurora, I just seemed to have a dream, and I was a little timid......"
However, Lady Aurora still kept her face open, and the air became heavy under her solemnity, making it difficult for Viktoria's smile to be held back.
"Lady Aurora?" Viktoria timidly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Miss Victoria," said Lady Aurora after a long time, her voice as cold and hard as her countenance, "please don't be frightening us in the future, okay?" ”
"W-What?" Victoria was stunned, "Lady Aurora, what's wrong with you?" ”
Looking at Viktoria's surprised face, Lady Aurora snorted coldly, raised her hand, and showed a piece of metal in her palm, "This is what Officer Seris left for you." ”
Looking at the metal cockade, Victoria froze, her eyes wide open.
It was as if the switch was pressed, countless scene memories exploded in her brain, and in the flash of light, she had already recalled everything in a splitting headache!
"No ——!!!"
She let out a scream of pain, clutched her head, and collapsed to the ground.
Victoria's home.
Dark home.
Icy home.
Silent home.
Because there was no one left—except Victoria.
On the first floor, in the double bedroom belonging to her parents, the remains of her parents lie side by side on their double bed.
Viktoria knelt on the ground, she couldn't cry anymore, her whole body was like a wooden carving, just kneeling in front of the bed, motionless.
Pale moonlight poured in through the window, gilding Victoria's body with a void hue.
At this moment, from the window, from her neighbor's house, there was a burst of laughter.
The distance is only about ten meters, but the two houses of the same shape are diametrically opposed, and the home of Victoria's neighbor, Iskra Zoya, is brightly lit, full of people, singing and laughing.
The townsfolk came with gifts to offer their blessings to the clever little girl, and loudly praised the advancement of medical technology in the Chinese Federation in the midst of cups, claiming that Ms. Zoya's paraplegia must have been cured, as if they knew how well they knew.
In a trance, it seemed that the laughter of Iskra like a silver bell was heard.
Viktoria was still kneeling in front of her parents' bed.
Her fingers clenched into fists, blood spilling from the cracks in her skin.

Iskra woke up.
She was awakened from the cold.
In the hazy eyelids, she saw the figure of her best friend Viktoria......
"Yikes!" With a scream, Iskra jerked backwards, only to find himself unable to move.
She was curled up with her quilt and tied up with a thick piece of twine.
“…… Vika? She asked cautiously.
In the deep darkness of the night, in the white moonlight, she could clearly see the corners of Viktoria's mouth - smiling.
Creepy smile.
“…… You know, Izzy? The laughing Viktoria said in a relaxed tone, "What should be done with the dirty garbage?" ”
Iskra smelled the residual smell of oil in the air—it was a mixed smell, diesel, gasoline, kerosene, and so on—and it gave Iskra a bad feeling.
Victoria struck a match, and a golden flame reflected in Iskra's eyes without any warmth, only endless fear.
However, the match did not fall on her. Instead, Viktoria turned away, let go of her fingers, and let the match fall in response to gravity.
The next moment, a flaming viper suddenly sprang up and crawled quickly towards the distant -
Iskra's eyes widened!
- Town!
- It's the town they live in!
"No, ——!!!no,
Iskra exclaimed in a loud voice, a mournful voice piercing the night sky.
However, it was too late.
The poisonous snake of the flame climbed rapidly along the oil-watered runway, constantly splitting, spreading, cutting, converging, and finally merging again, turning into a beautiful sea of fire, slowly and unstoppably covering the entire town, tearing at the body of each log house as a strong nourishment, breathing violently the oxygen in the air, burning more and more.
"No, !!no,
Iskra screamed like madness—perhaps madness—and twisted his body desperately, even when his delicate skin was smeared with mud and scratched by sharp stones.
And Viktoria, looking at the sea of fire, and then at Iskra, who looked like a madman, smiled even more happily, the corners of her mouth on both sides were raised high, and the thick resentment and excitement outlined a beautiful arc.
She leaned down, stretched out her hands, and her slender fingers grabbed Iskra's neck with force.
"HahaHaha......ha
Viktoria was laughing, laughing heartily, laughing wildly!
The corners of her mouth were already grinning to the limit, twisted and eerie, and the low-hanging blonde hair couldn't hide the madness in her eyes.
She was laughing and bursting into tears.
"UhhAh......h
Iskra was struggling. Because Victoria deliberately left a gap, the thin air squeezed into her lungs with difficulty, leaving Iskra on the verge of suffocation, and the pain was magnified exponentially under the shroud of death, washing over her brain in waves.
As the strength grew, the lungs could not swallow a single ounce of air, and in the midst of the greatest pain, the messengers of death, paralysis and cold, had opened their hands and embraced Iskra's petite body.
Drops of cold liquid fell on her face, and she couldn't tell what it was.
"AhhYes!!! ”
In the midst of the burning town, there was the cry of the people, who were angry, frightened, dazed, stupid, repentant, prayed, and struggled...... However, in the face of the twisted pillar of fire, all this is useless, and the wails that challenge the limits of human vocal cords add a powerful footnote to this sea of fire.
Under the erosion of the flames, everything is shrinking in size, whether it is a house made of logs or a human form made of flesh and blood, releasing its energy and materials in this violent chemical reaction.
The heat rushes up into the sky, driving the cold air, and the convection of the cold and preheating forms the wind.
Victoria sat there, looking at the sea of fire with a blank face, realizing the fiery warmth it bringed.
Her eyes were hollow, just staring blankly ahead.
At this moment, a page of paper that had been burned to the edge and somewhat torn at the edge fell from the sky in the wind and fell in front of Victoria.
Viktoria's blank eyes were fixed on the page.
On the red background, there is a large title in bold gold letters, and a bust of Li You, the prime minister of the Chinese Federation.
Viktoria's brow jumped!
"Li ......"
The muscles on Viktoria's face twitched unnaturally, and her expression shifted.
Li ...... You ......"
She stretched out her hand and gently and carefully picked up the cover as if it were some fragile treasure.
Li ...... Plum...... You ......"
She carefully handed the somewhat tattered cover in front of her, and then opened her mouth—
Take a bite!
Li ...... Especially...... Plum...... You ......"
......Bite bite
Rip ......Rip
nibble ni......bble ni
......Grind mill
Chew ......chew chew
Like some peerless delicacy, Victoria was reluctant to swallow it, but swallowed it again and again, stirring it with her delicate little tongue, tasting it, and lingering on it......
However, no matter how delicious things are, there is always a time to finish them. In the end, Victoria had to reluctantly swallow the paper paste between her lips and teeth, and then carefully licked the corners of her lips, fingers, palms, ground, and mud with the tip of her tongue...... Everything that has been in contact with that cover, what kind of fragrance is still there, greedily searching for its traces.
"Li You ......"
Viktoria groaned.
"Li You—"
Viktoria shouted.
"Li Li Li You You You !!"
Viktoria screamed.
"!!!!!Li
