34. Dreams and reality
Since the beginning of memory, Song Yiqiao and her mother are very close, and they are almost always glued together, but they don't follow their father very much. Other people's daughters are tired of being with their fathers, but she is the only one who comes the opposite, which makes her father often cry out and be jealous.
The best time is to sleep in the warm quilt every night while listening to the gentle singing of my mother, and gradually fall asleep.
β¦β¦ However, not a single qiΔ is gone.
From that night.
She stiffened as a stone, staring at her mother, who was lying in a pool of blood, and she didn't know how much time had passed. The song was gone, the smile was gone, only a few flies swirling and falling on that gentle cheek, and then, swallowing the salty blood into their stomachs.
What happened later, Song Yiqiao doesn't remember much, it seems that the brain center is controlling zhì not to let her recall that terrifying memory. The only thing she can remember is the first time she visited her mother.
It was drizzling that day, and she and her father stood in front of the tombstone like fools, without saying a word. Song Yiqiao raised his head and saw his father's eyes bloodshot, staring blankly at the brand-new tombstone, on which there was a black and white photo of a woman, with a gentle smile that could encompass the entire universe.
Song Yiqiao realized something, and suddenly burst into tears.
Her fists clenched tightly, and she howled uncontrollably, and the sound of heart-rending cries echoed in the cemetery, not even the sound of the rain.
She doesn't have a mother anymore!
β¦β¦
"I always think there's something wrong with this kid, don't you believe it, now something is wrong!"
"Mom, how can you blame a child for this?"
"If it weren't for her ......"
The old man's words were halfway down, and she saw Song Yiqiao standing outside the door, listening with a pale face.
"Jojo?"
Song Qiurong screamed worriedly and took two steps forward: "Why are you here...... Hey, where are you going?! β
Before he finished speaking, Song Yiqiao ran away, only to hear the door slammed shut.
"Don't go to her! It's getting more and more lawless! She was so angry that her face trembled.
"Mom! She's your own granddaughter! β
"The daughter-in-law is gone, what do you want your granddaughter to do, do you add a burden to your second marriage!"
"How can you talk like that!"
The quarrel between the two intensified, and they were about to overturn the roof, and they both forgot about Song Yiqiao, who rushed out.
The streets were deserted, and there were hardly any people. Song Yiqiao ran out of breath all the way, until his lungs hurt so badly that he slowed down and walked to a nearby park in exhaustion.
She sat on the swing and stared blankly at the sky.
Endless blue.
They were right, they had indeed harmed their mother. If it weren't for the fact that she lost her temper and insisted on not going to travel to her father's company that day, she would not have stayed at home with her indulgence, and she would not have ushered in this catastrophe.
β¦β¦ Things won't turn out the way they are.
It's all her fault.
Moreover, I was brave and secretly took down the mobile phone on the edge of the bed and called the police...... The phone was only an arm's length away from her, but Song Yiqiao didn't have the courage to poke her head out and take the phone off, she just watched them grab, abuse, and walk away.
This matter has been brewing in her heart, turning into a huge haze, covering Song Yiqiao's entire life.
She wanted to atone for her sins.
How many times she had read the Bible with the priest to no avail, the fog of fear still haunted her, and how many midnights she woke up, the woman's groans of pain. Moaning and crying for help became her most painful nightmare, which could not be dissipated.
Eventually, the fear spreads to a reluctance to communicate with others and to disconnect from social groups. After her father formed a new family, she left the place where she did not belong and lived alone in a cramped rental house.
Song Yiqiao disguises it well, and on the surface he can get along peacefully with anyone, but he has a deep fear of the world.
She didn't know how to live without guilt and like a normal person.
Never forget that past.
When Song Yiqiao stared at Caroline's frightened eyes, in a trance, she looked like her mother that night, and she had an ulterior thought in her heart: Is it ...... Could it be that by helping Caroline, she would be able to alleviate her sins?
As soon as the thought came to her, she was frightened by herself.
But once he thought about it, Song Yiqiao couldn't stop fantasizing that he would get rid of the pain of the old days and be able to let go of his life again.
Chilling and her hands trembling, she agreed to Caroline's request.
The occluded brain has begun to reject why Caroline would ask her for help, that she is guilty of murder, and that if she doesn't succeed...... A qiΔ was deliberately thrown to the back of her mind, and she had only one thought: save Caroline!
Song Yiqiao ignored that he was just an ordinary person, not at all like in the movie, he said that he would kill people, and even ate human flesh like Hannibal. When she was most helpless, she actually thought of Sherlock, not because she had strange emotions, but because she was most familiar with Sherlock in this absurd world, and understood that even if the other party refused, she would not tell her secret to others.
The remnants of her sanity told her that the act of dismembering the body was not correct, and that it was impossible to try to atone for her sins in such a way, and when Sherlock told her to get out of here, she was secretly relieved.
β¦β¦ Until that fire.
Looking at the charred building, a piece of her heart was suddenly missing, and the pain of being hit on the head but unable to refute it haunted her heart. In a trance, it is like a person who is desperately laughing at himself: Isn't it to atone for his sins? You see, sinful thoughts can leave you with nothing!
Nothing!
The laughter in his ears became clearer and clearer.
You killed your mother!
You're the one who tears the whole family apart!
It was you who made my grandmother so sad that she died!
It was you who gave up Caroline!
It's all your fault!
Your bad!
Song Yiqiao woke up suddenly, gasping for breath in panic, and suddenly, she found that the face in front of her was very familiar.
"Jules!"
It turned out to be that magician!
He was wearing Dr. "Daniel's" white coat, and his sanitary mask was taken off, revealing a kind face: "Long time no see, Miss Song." β
"Aren't you dead?" Song Yiqiao stood up vigilantly, his tone cold, "Why are you targeting me?" β
The most terrifying thing is that Jules killed her twice, but the system did not warn her, which is also one of the biggest reasons for Song Yiqiao's negligence.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Hey, don't be nervous, let's think back to how you killed your ...... in the first place."
Before Jules could finish his words, Song Yiqiao knocked him away with a punch. Hearing only a "bang", he fell to the ground heavily, his nose bleeded, and he covered his nose and wailed in pain.
"It's naΓ―ve to think I'm going to reason with you?"
Song Yiqiao squatted down, grabbed him by the collar, and asked through gritted teeth: "If you don't say it again, I'll do it!" β
Jules laughed defiantly: "Then you beat me to death." β
"You!"
Song Yiqiao couldn't restrain his anger and grabbed his neck: "Do you want to die!" β
"Ahhh β
She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly Hula rushed into a crowd of people, including upset passers-by and a few policemen who were eating nearby. Unfortunately, one of them was only beaten up by her yesterday - Grave.
"Look, what's the trouble you've got into trouble again?"
Grave smugly curled the corners of his lips: "It's not like my judgment is wrong this time!" β
"I'm afraid it's still the case." Song Yiqiao let go of his hand expressionlessly, "Remember Jules who was stoned alive in the theater some time ago?" He is resurrected again, and here he is. β
"Are you crazy?"
They all looked surprised.
"Miss...... You should have mistaken the person...... Ahem......" The doctor lying on the ground coughed in pain and said intermittently.
Song Yiqiao turned back in disbelief, Jules, who was still staring at her just now, turned into Daniel with a nosebleed face! That psychiatrist!
"Nope! No, he was still ...... with me just now How so! β
She looked at everyone blankly and helplessly, but saw a group of people with vigilant and questioning faces, for fear that she would hurt others again under her manic mania.
So many hostile gazes once again stabbed Song Yiqiao's heart.
"You have the right to be silent."
There was a click, the cold handcuffs pressed against his skin, and the gloating that Grave couldn't hide rang in his ears.
"Have you ever experienced what it's like to go to jail?"
