Ward 1301 is one of the few VIP independent wards in the North and South Memorial Hospital, with the size of a three-person ward but only one bed, spacious space, sunny lighting, LCD TV and air conditioning, patients who can afford to live in this ward need to make an appointment several months in advance, but who can know their future illness so early? Therefore, wanting to live in this ward naturally means that you are either rich or expensive, and your status and influence.

Carlisle Capet happened to have both, so she got this best ward on the first day of admission to the North and South Memorial Hospital, and the announcement to the outside world was to avoid causing a riot in the multi-person room, no one expressed surprise at this, everything was so reasonable, and she herself had long been accustomed to this kind of preferential treatment, as it should have been, and her life should have been so smooth... But.

... There is always a but in everything, and after the but it always means that something bad is going to happen.

At half past two in the morning, Carlisle Capet, who was sleeping soundly in Ward 1301, was dreaming.

In the dream, she stood on the stage of the Academy Awards and made a speech, the spotlight, the spotlight, the eyes of all eyes fell on her, she was wearing a long dress, and she told the people she wanted to thank, she thanked the crew members of the film that made her win the award, she thanked her parents, she thanked the people who helped her along the way, the people who supported her, and the people who gave everything to her current achievements...

The audience applauded thunderously, and the awarder handed the little golden figure to her, and she raised the little golden figure with one hand to show the happiest and brightest smile in her life.

At this time, Carlisle Capet suddenly noticed that there was a particularly dazzling light in the audience, which was different from the incandescent white of the spotlight, but more inclined to the warm yellow of the night street lamp and the lazy gold of the sunset, bathing himself inch by inch... But she didn't feel warm, on the contrary, the light made her feel extremely piercing, as if she had fallen into an ice cave for a moment.

Carlisle Capet couldn't help but try to see where the golden light came from, and the more she tried to gather her gaze, the more unstable her dreams became, and when she really saw the source of the golden light, she had already opened her eyes in reality.

In Ward 1301, a beautiful girl sits on the edge of the hospital bed peeling apples, and the sharp dagger lover's kiss is generally attached to the peel of the fruit, and the peel of the apple keeps falling in circles.

As if noticing that Carlisle Capet was awake, the pretty girl raised her head and looked at her with those blazing golden eyes, and said with a light smile, "Are you awake?" It looks like you're having a good dream. ”

In the haze, Carlisle Capet subconsciously wanted to scream, but when she caught a glimpse of the door of the dimly lit ward, she suddenly lost all her strength.

There, two strong-bodied bodyguards lay in a pool of blood, their necks as ugly as the straws twisted by a child, the air filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and the element of fear filled the room.

"They were a bit of a nuisance outside, so I let them sleep a little longer." The girl peeled the apple unhurriedly: "Don't think about pressing the paging button at the nurse's station, I know what you want to do now, and I know what the consequences will be if you do that, but I promise you won't like that ending." ”

Carlisle Capet was already frightened, she lay stiffly on the hospital bed and looked sideways at this beautiful and harmless girl, unable to believe that the other party had done all this: "You... What do you want? ”

If there was a man in the room, then what would happen next was self-evident, but sitting on the edge of the bed, a girl who was a little more beautiful than Carlisle Capet, made it impossible for her to guess what would follow.

"Convince me." The girl lowered her head and peeled the apple and said lightly.

"You... Say what? Carlisle Capet held back the desire to scream, her voice trembling.

"Convince me." The girl repeated, looking up at Carlisle Capet calmly: "Give me a reason not to kill you." ”

"I—" Carlisle Capet was stared at by those golden eyes as if she had been strangled by a large hand, and the feeling of suffocation and panic exploded instantly, her ears began to ring, her heartbeat accelerated to a dangerous level, and her mind was full of nightmares.

"It seems that you don't know why I'm here" The girl turned the dagger in her hand, the tip of the knife refracted the light of her pupils and shone a shining golden spot in the dark ward, shaking Carlyle Capet's frightened face from time to time: "A hint for you, Wendy Hathaway, remember?" ”

Wendy Hathaway?

Carlisle Capet stared at the girl's face as hard as she could, she thought the name belonged to the other party, and after a few seconds of frantic recollection, she regretted not remembering any acquaintances, she had never seen the girl at all.

"Looks like you forgot." The girl was a little disappointed, she cut off half of the apple and handed it to Carlisle Capet's mouth, the other party opened his mouth slightly in a daze, and let the half of the apple force it into to reveal half of it outside: "Have you ever heard the story of the dove occupying the magpie's nest?" ”

"In nature, there is a bird called the red-footed falcon, which often occupies the nest of magpies, squeezes the eggs of the magpies out of the nest one by one, breaks them, and then produces their own eggs to hatch baby birds." The girl said, "Do you remember anything after listening to this story?" ”

Carlisle Capet was still in a state of panic, and the girl looked at her quietly for a while and sighed: "A hint to you, ten years ago, the Golden Elephant Stage Performance Competition. ”

Carlisle Capet was stunned.

The girl looked at her expression and smiled lightly: "Looks like you've remembered something." ”

Carlisle Capet spat out the apple in his mouth and shouted in horror, "You... Are you her family? You're breaking the law by doing so! Do you still have accomplices... You've killed! ”

"Ten years ago, the Golden Elephant Stage Performance Competition, the champion Carlisle Capet, won the ticket to Hollywood, and was favored by major directors and has since become a popular and household name." The girl cut an apple and ate it herself, saying, "That first place shouldn't be yours, the person behind you contacted the team and sentenced Wendy Hathaway, who was originally the first place, out of the competition, thus usurping the honor that belongs to her." The girl said flatly.

"That's what you're doing for that... That thing kills? It was just a race, you guys are crazy? Carlisle Capet finally remembered the old thing that had been forgotten in the corner of his memory.

"Then let me tell you that the acting contest poured into a girl's expectations for her whole life, but her expectations were usurped, so the girl who lost her life chose to hang herself at home, so do you feel some guilt?" The girl asked faintly.

"It's... It's none of my business. ”

"Of course it's none of your business." The girl shrugged.

"It's none of your business! Who are you? You're going to do it to me... Call... What to do to me? Carlisle Capet said with his breath short.

"Me? I'm just a guy who has the world looking for guys like you. The girl whispered: "I have killed many people like you, each of them is a shameless snatcher like you, ACT, SAT scores, competition awards, honors, jobs, and even the whole life, you are not special to me, just one of those miscellaneous things, I have been following you for a long time, and it just so happens that you appear in my sight again." ”

The girl licked her fingers stained with apple juice: "Every time I think that there are people like you in the world, it makes me sick, you are all no less than my executioners, tearing off other people's faces and wearing them to enjoy the honor that others deserve, usurping another person's entire life, how can people like you care about how people who have been torn off by you continue to live in this world?" ”

"It's none of my business that she committed suicide! I didn't persuade her to commit suicide! ”

"You'd better not have one." The girl said coldly: "You think that girl didn't try to speak for herself? What did she get out of her travels? Three threatening phone calls and a dead cat at the door? Don't think I don't know what you've done, do you think your appearance can fool others and fool me? I can smell your disgusting smell from a few meters away. ”

Do you know how desperate she was for the world to have the idea of hanging? What were you doing at that time? Currying favor with a director in Hollywood? Boasting about the honors you have won to others? Enjoy the sought-after and your wonderful life? ”

"What's the matter with you?! Who are you? Police? Carlisle Capet was driven crazy by the nightmarish golden pupils, and the corpse at the door made her nervous almost collapse and couldn't help but yell: "You killed someone, you... You lunatic, murderer. ”

"Police?" The light in the girl's eyes faded: "How could I be that kind of thing, as for those dead people?" They're in my way. ”

"When I peel off a stumbling face like yours, I know what I have to do, people like you have a lot of power and wealth, so there are bound to be people who stand in my way, there will always be people who speak up for those who have been torn off by you, and I am the one who speaks for them, and whoever stands in my way, I will kill whom." The girl's eyes were dyed with a violent color.

Peel your face.

Carlisle Capet finally knew what the other was going to do to her, and she wanted to shout hoarsely to get attention, but the girl reached out and grabbed her throat, and for a moment she could no longer say anything.

Sitting on the chair, the girl looked at Carlisle Cape, who was picking at her throat and trying to make a sound, and whispered: "I have killed eight people like you, they are all the same, beautiful, powerful, and different, you all like to live with masks, so you don't hesitate to peel off other people's faces... Like my last prey, a very beautiful girl, but who knew that she walked on other people's corpses all the way? ACT grades, piano competition rankings, anything that could be deprived of her was taken away from those people, just for a talent and honor worthy of her cheekiness... So I stripped her face intact, it was my favorite face, and I could see the world as it really was... No one cares what you really look like on the outside, so that's why you 'face-strippers' are acting recklessly. ”

"Do you feel it?" The girl smiled lightly and said, "Those who want to speak for themselves are like now, even if they shout heartbreakingly, they can't make any sound, because you told them to shut up... And I'm the one who told you to shut up. You can call me crazy, because I am, people like you, only a madman can make you afraid, and only a monster can make you cry in fear. ”

On the hospital bed, Carlisle Capet realizes that something terrible has happened to her, and she begs for mercy only to find that the girl has stood up, holding the dagger that sharpens the apple.

"But do you think the monster will sympathize with you?" The girl held the dagger close to Carlyle Capet's face, and her golden pupils were as hot as fire: "The monster will only say: Convince me, and then after watching your ugly performance, peel off your face." If there was justice, then why didn't justice come when the mother of a girl in Kansas was beaten to death by impersonation for complaining about her daughter's ACT scores? If there is justice, then it is time for justice to doze off, because for people like you, I am justice! ”

The girl stared at Carlyle Capet's fearful madness with no expression on her face, remembering the first time, when she peeled off the damn woman's face, she was full of guilt and regret, but faintly felt pleasure for the first time under her trembling hands.

The second time, the third time... Even now, the joy and murderous emotions in her heart when she raised the knife were growing wildly, she found that she liked this feeling, she even felt that she was born because of this, if there is no justice in the world, then it is better to let her be that justice, anyway, when she gave up her original identity, she has already embarked on the road of no return.

If there is really justice in the world, then stop her!

But how can there be any justice in this world? You have to do everything yourself, whether it's killing or revenge.

If there had been justice, that mother in Kansas wouldn't have died because of it.

If there is justice, why can't the innocent who have been deprived of their lives speak out?

If there is justice, and you think what you did was wrong, then you would show me now?

Just as the dagger was about to pierce the skin, someone outside the silent ward whispered:

"Two prisoners stood in front of the bars and looked out, one looking at the dirt and the other at the stars."

The girl's hand stopped.

She looked at the tearful woman in front of her expressionlessly, and the dagger in her hand was plunged deep into the pillow and straight through the bed.

"It's... Late justice. The girl whispered.

She put away her furious heart and walked out of the room calmly.

When she saw the familiar boy outside for the first time, she lowered her eyes slightly, and asked calmly in her heart - do you want to hear a story with twists and turns?

The other party's molten golden eyes gave her an answer in silence.

Forget it, she thought to herself.

And so the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
