Chapter 112: Looking at the Remains
As when they came, the two walked to the church one after the other.
Neither Anne nor Infernor spoke, as if the atmosphere of conversation was muffled by the sound of the sea breeze and waves.
The wind seemed to be stronger than it had come, and a large dark cloud was riding the wind in the distance, and a relatively large wave was coming, and the water even splashed on the upper rock where Eaanne was.
Anne took two steps back, pulled out her phone, and glanced at the weather forecast on it.
This side of the White Point seems to be too remote, and the weather forecast app shows the location of the nearest town, and it will be sunny all day today. The small town is still more than 20 minutes' drive from the White Cape, and the weather forecast for this distance is very little for a coastal area like Nouveau.
Looking at the dark clouds that looked like rain clouds drifting towards the white corner, Yi Annie was a little worried: "It won't rain here for a while, right?" If it does rain, will I still be able to drive on the road into the White Horn Nursing Home? ”
Anne shouldn't really worry about this, she has three days off, even if she stays in the White Horn Nursing Home for two days, there is no problem with work. However, what Yi Annie is most worried about is actually the divination she did last night, and now, the White Horn Nursing Home is the most dangerous place, and there is no one.
Inferno apparently had this in mind, and said to Iannie, "If you're worried about the weather, you'd better set off now, and you can drive to the nearest town now, find a motel to stay in, and then study the dream." ”
In this atmosphere, Anne's mood became even heavier, and she quickened her pace and returned to the parking lot in front of the church as fast as she could.
Just as I was about to get on the bus, the outdoor stereo installed on the eaves of the church suddenly made a "beep" sound. In addition to this, the same sound was heard from the main complex of the nursing home, which seemed to trigger some kind of public address system.
With this sound, the church poured out of the crowd that had been watching the service, all asking each other questions such as "what happened".
After a while, the people who sat at the front of the church who were originally residents of the nursing home passed on the correct answer.
Nursing homes have been closed.
The priest also walked out of the church, looked at the increasingly rough waves in the direction of the sea, and confirmed: "I guess the waves are too big, so the road to the nursing home is temporarily flooded." ”
Someone next to him asked: "Didn't you say that the road would be closed at four o'clock before, but now it's only one o'clock in the afternoon!" ”
The priest pointed to the dark clouds in the distance and replied, "Four o'clock is the time of high tide, and the current wind and waves are probably brought by that dark cloud." Let's see if it will be better when the clouds pass. Anything is good at the White Horn Nursing Home, but the road in is too susceptible to the weather. ”
"Damn! The weather forecast didn't say that there would be wind and waves! ”
"I hope it doesn't rain......
Most of the people who came here today to attend Steven's body meeting did not plan to stay here until the ****** ceremony, when this happened suddenly, and someone immediately began to curse.
Anne stood beside her car, looked back at Inferno, and asked with some uncertainty, "I can't escape?" ”
Inferno stretched out his hands and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
This question left Anne feeling speechless, and it seemed that the crisis was coming step by step.
Amid the grumbling of the crowd, the pastor had already begun to ask about the intentions of those present. Since the rain on the beach is coming, he needs to ask the family if the meeting will continue, and the guests can decide whether to continue the ceremony or leave to settle down in the main complex.
After some hectic commotion, most of the people returned to the church - after all, this is also the respect that should be paid to the dead. Only a handful of guests seemed to be annoyed by the weather conditions that no one could control, and left the church in their respective cars, including the orange sedan that Iannie had noticed earlier.
Returning to the body meeting, the process presided over by the pastor was obviously much faster, and the people who would have spoken here about their family and friendship with Steven may have lost their interest in speaking because of the changing weather. Seeing that no one was going to continue speaking, the pastor was busy moving the process into the stage of the body meeting.
The guests stood up and lined up in the aisle on the side of the church, waiting to see Steven for the last time.
Anne looked at Inferno, who was sitting in the last row, and then turned her head and whispered to Catherine beside her, "Catherine, I'm a little scared......"
Catherine understood: "If you don't want to see it, just go outside and wait for us in the parking lot?" It seems like it's going to start raining outside, so you can go to the main complex first. ”
Just a moment after they entered the church, the dark clouds on the sea had become closer and closer to the area of White Point, and the interior of the church, which had been bright and holy under the skylight through the skylight, also became dark. The priest had turned on the lights, but it was clearly still much darker than before.
Anne Yi nodded, and got up with a few of her colleagues in the press center in this row, but as they went to line up, she walked in a different direction and walked out of the church.
As she passed by the last row where Inferno was, Inferno suddenly gestured to Anne behind her.
Anne looked back with some confusion, and the light was particularly dim in the depths of the church. The opening above Steven's coffin had been opened, and among the yellow and white chrysanthemums, a chubby man was standing next to the coffin and looking inside.
When the man had finished reading, the next person to watch was Steven's mother, who was supported by her daughter and daughter-in-law, glanced into the coffin, and then fell limply again. Several grandchildren in the back queue hurriedly rushed up to help the old man open, causing chaos on the side of the coffin.
The first person to see the body had already circled the depths of the church, walking from the corridor on the other side to the back row, and did not join the coffin to appease the old man.
Anne was about to ask Inferno what she wanted her to see, but it suddenly occurred to her why the first person to see Steven's face wasn't his mother. In general, shouldn't the closer you are, the more you look at it first?
Thinking so, Yi Annie couldn't help but look at the first person who walked down earlier.
"Oh my!" Anne almost screamed, but she managed to use her reason to cover her mouth with her hands.
That man was Steven!
