Chapter 22: You're undoubtedly a human
This is often the case in horror movies, in the dark castle in the middle of the night, accompanied by the strange silence and the dark side of human beings, some things that don't want to face are constantly popping up.
In a private college comparable to a top manor, the teenager is still holding an unknown girl in the palatial bedroom, although he can't see the other party's appearance clearly, but there is an indescribable feeling, to put it cheesy, is the so-called extravagant?
The girl's delicate body was shrunk in Yue Xian's arms, trembling uncontrollably, and the watermelon was constantly on guard all around, at this time, her wrist suddenly stabbed, and the voice of the watch echoed in her mind: "Be careful of this girl, she is no longer human." ”
There is no superfluous explanation, the watch can more or less understand the boy's mood at this time, and the boy did not push the girl in his arms directly because of the watch's words, "I know, I almost had a premonition when I saw her." ”
The moonlight shone into the room through the dark night, and the window with the pattern of the gods became a little brighter, and Yue Xian comforted the girl in his arms with a somewhat sad tone: "Now, there is no doubt that you are still alone." ”
Hearing the young man's soft words, the girl who was reflected in the moonlight trembled violently, and then struggled to climb out of Yue Xian's arms, while the young man hugged each other hard, "Believe me, you are still human, you will still be afraid, you will still want to snuggle up to others, you will be sad, you will cry, you are still a human being." I don't know if it was because of Yue Xian's persuasion or because she gave up struggling, the girl quieted down and didn't tremble, and at the same time said something in an inaudible voice, because she still had a choked voice, so she didn't hear it clearly at first. However, at this time, it is obvious that you can't directly say that you don't hear clearly, and for people with unstable mental conditions, this may make the other party lose the courage to continue.
Slowly lowered his head, leaned into the girl's ear and said softly: "It's okay, if you have anything to say, just say it all." ”
"Yes...... But...... They all say I'm ...... Call me a monster, I ...... I also hurt...... Hurt my best ...... My best friend, also ...... He also killed ...... My mentor, he ...... They were all scared away, only ...... Only the big brother is willing to listen...... Listen to me. There was still a childish voice, although it was choked and sad, but it was also trying to finish the words.
As if she was worried about whether her mood was conveyed, the girl raised her head timidly, looked at Yue Xian, and the eyes that were close at hand directly met each other, which were as pure as the water after the snow melted on the Tianshan Mountain, but at this moment it contained the sadness that a girl of this age should not have, she should have played carefree at this age, learning communication etiquette, and by the way, caressing the gypsy pony she raised in her spare time.
"They...... They all say...... I'm a monster. Say I killed someone, say I ...... Kill the Mentor. Just like complaining to the adults in the family about the grievances she had suffered, the girl's azure eyes contained crystal tears.
"So, did you kill someone?"
"Nope." didn't need to think, the girl shook her little head with great certainty, "Xi'er didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill the mentor, I didn't kill anyone." My mentor was always with me when I was a child, and it was also my mentor who took care of me when my dad was away...... But I'm ...... The mentor was killed to save me...... They wouldn't listen to me. As she spoke, tears flowed down her eyes again.
Gently wiping the tears on the little girl's cheeks with her hands, Yue Xian said in a voice as gentle as possible, "I believe in Xi'er." ”
"Really...... Are you sure? When she heard Yue Xian say that she believed in herself, the blue eyes of the girl named Xi'er showed indescribable joy.
"Of course it's true, big brothers don't lie, people who grieve because of other people's pain can't do things that hurt others. Although it is someone else's words to describe me, but now I give it to you, whether Xi'er is a monster or not is not up to others, but it depends on you. While comforting Xi'er, while debating whether to hold her again to strengthen the impact of her words, Xi'er laughed, wrapped her hands around Yue Xian's neck and threw herself into the young man's arms again. For the first time, I smiled happily.
In fact, the young man wanted to ask what was going on with the coercion just now, and he also wanted to ask the tutor what was going on, but he always felt unbearable to destroy the tranquility when he saw the other party shrinking comfortably in his arms like a kitten.
"I don't know why, most of the time ago, everyone in the school suddenly fell into a coma, and when I woke up again, I felt different from before, and then some of my classmates became monsters, and Lele's tutor protected us at that time." The girl squinted her eyes and hid in Yue Xian's arms and said the answer to the question that Yue Xian wanted to ask but didn't speak.
"Because the security measures here are better, the tutor took everyone to hide out of here, and also met with other tutors, and there are also my mentors inside. Later, during a meal, I was cut by a knife, and the blood that came out was black, and everyone looked at me with the eyes of a monster, only Xiaohua and the mentor helped me talk, but they still locked me in this room and didn't let me out. ”
Indeed, in this terrible environment, everyone tensed their nerves, and suddenly found that there was an anomaly around them, which undoubtedly became the last feather that crushed everyone, if it were not for her mentor and that friend named Xiaohua, in order to vent their emotions, the worst thing could have happened.
"Later, I could always hear some sounds, and tried to communicate with those voices, but a very terrible monster came to the castle, the mentor in order to save everyone, the monster was taken away alone, everyone was afraid of me, locked me in the room, no matter how I knocked on the door, no one opened the door, Xi'er was very hungry, wanted to eat, wanted to drink, but no one paid attention to me, Xi'er was still very scared, the mentor was killed by Xi'er, Xiaohua was also injured."
"It's not Xi'er's fault, because of her own timidity, it's not right to impose her fault on others, and this world is not superficial enough to let a child take responsibility."
"But if I don't talk to that strange voice, the monster won't come back."
"The outcome is unknown until everyone makes a decision, and I would never blame a child for fear of making a mistake." Stretched out his hand and rubbed Xi'er's hair, "Was it you who screamed just now?" Did you see anything before I came? ”
Hearing Yue Xian's question, the girl's body trembled again, and the strength from her neck became greater.
"I didn't know what it was, so I slept all afternoon, but when I woke up, a guy with black smoke all over his body was floating on the ceiling staring at me, and then I screamed, and then the door opened, and I thought at first that the other gurus had heard me screaming and came to save Xi'er."
Well, don't talk about a little girl, even if it's yourself, you will be scared when you wake up and see something floating on top of you. Judging from the words before sorting out the little girl, it should be that the people here were afraid that the previous monster would come back again, so they locked Xi'er in the room alone and transferred, and then there seemed to be a strange thing just now, and the strange thing was that they did not attack themselves and others.
"You said you didn't hear any strange noises before, which means that the dark shadow just now was not caused by you?"
"Yes."
Seeing Xi'er nodding affirmatively, the young man frowned, judging from his current experience, most of the mutants he encountered were very aggressive, and even if he had a certain amount of intelligence, he would give priority to attacking humans.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, there is a big brother here, and the big brother will take you out of here."
In response to Yue Xian's question, the girl seemed to hesitate, and her body writhed unconsciously, and gradually Yue Xian noticed that the girl seemed to be more shy than hesitant? And the body temperature seems to have gotten higher as well. Are you scared because of inappropriate words and deeds? When children whose minds are not yet mature communicate, they can't be judged entirely by the subjective consciousness of adults, because many concepts are not inevitable for children, Yue Xian tried to change the more friendly words and repeated the question just now: "Is Xi'er willing to walk with her big brother?" ”
Still without an accurate answer, the girl seemed to writhe uneasily in the boy's arms, and finally said softly in an inaudible voice as if she had made up her mind.
Seeing that the little girl nodded in agreement, Yue Xian smiled, there may be some monsters in the castle, and Zhang Yuan is also staying in the villa alone, he is a little worried, it is best if he can rush back early. Although the girl's body shape could not be seen clearly due to the dim light, but as soon as she was held in her arms, she could feel this thinness, and she remembered that the girl should have not eaten for several days, and it was really impossible to let the girl go by herself, so she could only hold the girl and rush towards the villa.
Gasping slightly, the young man ran towards his temporary stronghold with the girl he didn't realize he didn't realize it was, and the watermelon followed the young man all the way, just when he was within twenty meters of the castle, the watermelon who had been searching for something suddenly looked in the direction of the castle, and entered a state of full armament in an instant, but seeing Yue Xian's figure gradually moving away from him, the watermelon had no choice but to call in the direction of the castle and turned around and chased after him.
Even the faintest light can create shadows, and in the shadows of the castle, where visibility is almost zero, a deeper shadow has been watching the figure of the boy in the distance, no, it should be the thing that the boy is holding in his arms.
