Chapter 4: Gray Memory
In the dark night, the lightning flashed suddenly, and a thunderous roar was released, burying the shadows of the struggling trees in the darkness.
"Tick" "Tick"
The fine and dense light rain gathers together, follows the gravitational pull, drips from the heights, hits the delicate and tender blades of grass, splashes, and slowly seeps into the soil, making the land smell damp.
But no amount of damp smell could hide the sweet, disgusting smell that mixed with the air. Like rain, it only dilutes the red, but it does not eliminate its presence.
I couldn't tell if it was the color of fire or blood, but I just felt cold. My heart was empty, and the scene reflected in my eyes was so terrible, but there was no real feeling.
The partner who was still joking with each other yesterday is gone.
Blood, stumps and internal organs everywhere proclaim this undisguised crime. A hellish scene, rendered by the theme of black and red, everything in the world seems to have lost its color in the gloom.
The impact of the sight made the mind stagnate. Whether it was the screams of fear or the screams of young beasts, they were all stuck in their throats and could not be released. The tears broke uncontrollably and flowed down with the rain, but they didn't have the strength to wipe them. The stomach pouch spasmed for a while, as if it was about to vomit out all the stomach acid, but maybe it could only be endured.
"Run! Don't come near me......
There are no living people in sight, but the girl knows in her heart that there are still people hiding, and every face in the orphanage is remembered very clearly. All she could think of now was their painful and frightened looks, very scared, she killed them, and the girl knew.
It must have hurt, her body was torn apart, the sound had numbed her ears, and she couldn't even hear the rain.
Step by step, I walked through the courtyard, like a child, just playing a game, looking around for the hidden child.
"Are you scared?"
"Fear?"
"Timid children hide~"
"Let's play hide and seek~"
"If you find it, I'll tear you apart~!"
The demon in her ears was singing a terrible ballad, and the girl could not see it, but thought it must be a very abomination. Manipulating her body, she didn't want to listen, but her voice was so clear.
"Find, Find, You, Oh~"
"Ah!!h
The frightened child tried to flee, but the demon grabbed him by the leg and tore him apart easily, as fragile as paper.
"I'm very happy~ hahahaha"
"Don't ...... I beg you ......."
No matter how much the girl pleaded, the demon's laughter did not stop, but became more piercing.
"Don't stop! Run!"
The voice in my heart has been roaring, and if I stop, I will be swallowed up by the death that is chasing. Constantly whipping his body, he can only run hard.
The girl wants to stop all this, but her body has long since stopped obeying the call, and can only be used as a puppet. There seemed to be a flame burning in the chest, but there was no burning pain, it was already burned out, and there was nothing left to burn.
The only thing she could do was pray.
"Don't be found...... Lord God, you must bless everyone to escape."
"Hee-hee-hee"
The demon knew the girl's thoughts, let out a teasing mockery, and without stopping, she walked through the corridor and came to a room.
There are warehouses.
"Dangdang Dang"
"Is there a bad child, a child, a child, a hidden, in, inside, a face~"
Blood-stained slender fingers clasped against the door, and there was a faint sound from inside, a breath-holding sound from panic and fear.
But the maiden heard it, and the demon heard it.
"Don't ...... Don't ......."
"I, in, come, find, you, oh~"
The door was pushed open slightly by the hand, and slowly, there was a tooth-aching sound.
She's not in a hurry to get in, she's just toying and torturing them! It's also torturing young girls.
His heart was beating violently, as if it was about to burst, and his eyes were fixed on the slightest glimmer of light in the doorway, praying, praying.
"Don't ...... Please...... God-sama......
"I'm in~!"
God did not care for mankind Suddenly a lightning bolt, and in the thunder, the door of the warehouse was completely open. The sudden lightning brought a brief light, and there was not much space in the warehouse, and the two children saw it at a glance, hugged each other tightly, and trembled.
Under the lightning, her body seemed to pull out the shadow of the demon king, grabbed the two children, and then, was torn apart!
"Hahahaha......
"Why...... Why?"
Sadness, despair, she just kept repeating the phrase until—
"Little Ling'er!"
It seemed to be a voice from far away, so familiar, and it pulled the girl back to hell at once.
"Don't !!"
Never before strong emotions, kill no one and don't kill her!
The girl definitely didn't want to see that kind of scene, her dearest person, die at her hands.
But the demon wouldn't listen to her, she turned around and saw the familiar figure who gave her everything, the person who was also her mother and sister, the director of this orphanage, Lynn.
"Little Ling'er! Come back! Don't succumb to the devil!" Lin held a long knife in her hand, trembling slightly, she didn't pull it out. Although his face was full of sadness, he still called her with a gentle face.
"Run! Lynn!" The girl didn't think that Rin could kill her, even though Rin was a very powerful sword master.
"Xiao Ling'er, let's go home and get rid of the demons, okay?"
It is impossible for Lynn to pull out the knife on her, and the knife that cannot be unsheathed has no meaning! They can't do it, but they are the closest people!
The girl could see the sadness in Rin's eyes, but to no avail, she kept shouting in her heart, but it was useless, the girl's voice could not reach Rin's ears, she looked at herself in despair, and approached Lynn step by step.
"Please......
The demon held out his hand, but Lynn didn't dodge.
Thinking stopped, eyes widened in horror, pupils constricted.
"Tick" "Tick"
The sound of dripping water around me is clear and crazy, so I'm afraid it's not just rain. At this moment, the sound of rain, thunder, heartbeat, wheezing, all the sounds of the world seemed to disappear, leaving only the terrifying existence. Bowing his head in disbelief, the hand stained with countless sins had passed through Lynn's body, and the scarlet color was full of cruelty.
"Woo-ah-ah-ah!!"
The first voice broke free from the demon's shackles, and a heart-rending cry drowned out the sound of thunder and lightning.
"It's okay, Xiao Ling'er......"
The voice was above her head, and she bent over and hugged the girl, not too tall but covering the sky, and it was not rain that dripped on the girl's face, but Lynn's blood.
"Don't ...... I was manipulated by a demon, although I thought of such a day before......"
"Don't, don't say it...... Lynn, don't die, don't leave me. The girl cried, her eyes so desperate.
"Xiao Ling'er, you must take care of yourself...... The world is scary, but ...... It's okay, someone will love our little princess Ling'er......"
"Ahem......" Lin spit out another mouthful of blood, her face turned a little ruddy, and she spoke more fluently, and the girl knew that this was just a return to the light.
Lynn, I'm going to die.
"Lin, don't talk, don't talk, I'll take you to the hospital, it'll be fine." The girl panicked, but Lynn stopped her.
"It's okay, Xiao Ling'er, my sister just wants to sleep, she won't leave you, this world has changed, Xiao Ling'er, you have to protect yourself, this long knife will be given to you, you can't waste what I taught you."
"Don't ...... No, I just want my sister, I just want Lin to be with me all the time. The girl shook her head and hugged Lynn tightly.
"Stupid, I want to watch you grow up and watch you put on your wedding dress." Lynn smiled helplessly and touched the girl's hair.
"When I picked you up before, I knew that our little Ling'er must be a big beauty, so we must live and find someone who can protect you."
"Don't, don't...... God will protect Lynn!"
"That's why you're stupid...... There is no god in this world, pray to the gods...... It's really stupid. Lin's voice gradually weakened, and she looked at the girl below her, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Ahem, speaking of which, I've always asked you to call me sister to look like I'm young...... But, in fact, I have always treated you as ......"
The girl didn't hear Lynn's last words, and Lynn's hand hung limply down her hair.
"No, no, Lynn you're going to be fine...... It's going to be fine......" The girl hurriedly tried to stand up with Rin's body, but she fell to the ground with Lynn at once. She got up and held Lynn hard, but she could only hold her in her arms.
"Lynn, Lynn, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll take you to the hospital......"
Unable to stand up, no matter how many times you try, it is the same result, the girl knows this, and her body trembles silently, it is heartbreaking sadness.
"Lynn, Lynn...... You get up, you get up, don't you want to see me put on my wedding dress, you get up......"
The rainy day covered the girl's sorrow, fire and blood had no connection, and tears were confused with the rain. There is no turning back, just a nightmare left in the girl's memory.
