XVI. The Time of the Storm
The storm is still trying to destroy the hut, and I fear that it will be useless until the real catastrophe happens.
I said, "What about later?" Did you find this Simon? ”
"I was like, 'What did I do?' I killed my father? But he killed his mother, shouldn't I have done that? But there is one thing, and I have no doubt that Dr. Simon is to blame, who emptied his father's brain and parasitized himself. He seems to have a grudge against his father, and since he's still alive, it's more likely that he's ready to do the next.
I cried for a while, remembering the eyes he looked at me, and I knew I couldn't fall into his hands, but I couldn't leave Sammy behind, that Simon was so wicked, he could do anything.
There are police officers in the town, I can report the crime, but they won't believe it, they may only think that the special medicine has gone wrong, and it was the mother who shot the father first, those police officers are all brainless, how can they believe what I say? They just caught me and put me in jail, and I didn't see Salvador for a few years.
And Dr. Simon is a monster capable of taking over the human body. ”
I interjected: "The reason why Ling Zun suffers from depression is also suspicious, I have never heard of anyone suffering from it. ”
"Yes, every family in the town is struggling to make ends meet, and the psychiatrist said that similar mental illnesses are very rare, and that my father fell ill suddenly, which is not at all commonplace, and from the beginning, it was Simon who was playing tricks," Lamia said.
I immediately started to prepare, I brought some food, grabbed my mother's gun, and escaped with Sammy. There were still plenty of empty spaces in the town, but there were no empty houses, and I thought about hiding in the Sisko Valley, where there might be some caves, but it was easy to think of. For me, the town outside the Black Coffin used to be huge, but now it's so small that there's nowhere to hide.
At that moment, I saw a truck parked in the town square, it was one of the few trucks in the town of Black Coffin that had been in good condition, and it had some clean diesel oil, although it was far less than that of Yune, but the town was built from these trucks.
The back of the truck was covered with canvas, and I helped Sammy climb in, and I hid inside. ”
Salvatore smiled and said, "Sister, you were really whimsical back then. ”
Lamia: "I was only eight years old, what do you expect me to do?" As it turned out, I was right. If I had taken refuge in Betty's house, their family would have suffered. Simon may be a sneaky coward, but he is best at bullying unsuspecting ordinary people.
I've heard that trucks will leave town early in the morning to look for supplies in Beaune Heights. Finally waited until dawn and the Rangers started their engines, they didn't lift the canvas, and if they did, I would be desperate to tell them the truth, and maybe they would believe it. There were five of them, fully armed, and they just left the city.
After arriving at Beaune Heights, the Rangers spotted us. The captain at the time, named Terex, was angry and said, 'You two little mice, what are we going to do now?' We don't have time to be babysitters! ’
One lady named Fura said, 'They're just naughty kids, just let them hide in the truck, there's no need to make a fuss.' We moved our supplies and immediately returned to the city. ’
I was anxious to tell them about the demon Simon, that their father and mother were dead, but Terex didn't give us a chance to explain. He said, 'In these days, people have gone mad, and there are fewer tragedies that have killed the whole family?' Stay in the canvas for me! ’
Fura said that when she got back to the skyscraper, she would adopt me and find someone to adopt Sammy. She lives in a skyscraper, which is much safer there. ”
I sighed and said, "She shouldn't have said that." ”
Lamia asked, "She's just kind." ”
I said, "As soon as she said that, she was doomed, especially this kind of topic of looking forward to a better life in the future, which is the most likely to invite murder." ”
Betty said, "What kind of fallacy are you? Don't you ever say such things? ”
I muttered, "I'm the main character, and the main character doesn't die." ”
They don't know what I'm talking about, what should I do? Genius is destined not to be understood.
And I don't even know what I mean by what I'm saying.
Lamia: "I thought about continuing north with Sammy, and in the distance, maybe there would be other settlements that could take us in, but I couldn't, so I wandered outside. My parents had told me how dangerous it was out there, but I had never experienced it, and either way, it was better than returning to the black coffin, and I felt that Simon was a devil who was everywhere and haunted. But I also felt that if he really pursued us, I could lead him to me, and then I would have a chance to kill him. ”
I asked, "Didn't you say he could take a man's body?" How could he venture to you himself? ”
Lamia replied, "Think about it, what did he do when he killed my father?" It took him about two hours to get his hands and feet, and another day to get acquainted with his father's body. I don't think even Simon can manipulate two shells at the same time. And in a short time, he couldn't find another puppet that could be used freely. If he really doesn't let me go, then the person who comes must be himself. ”
I pointed out that Simon could pay for the murder to catch you.
"The black coffin law is very strict, and if he hires a lot of civilians, the target is too big to get out of the city easily," Lamia said. If he can even hire a ranger, then he has a lot of power, why did he sneak up pretending to be a pharmaceutical company in the first place? I think he is afraid of the authority of the black coffin, and he is by no means the kind of powerful person who covers the sky with one hand. ”
She was only eight years old at the time, and it was not easy for her to be able to organize her thoughts so clearly.
Lamia: "Terex has found some resources and plans to continue on to a building materials store. At this time, the demon attacked us, and a black demon like an elephant appeared from behind the bridge pier and knocked over the truck. Three people died on the spot, Terex, Furla, me, and Salvador were still alive.
Terex and Fura slam all of their Excalibur swords at the Black Demon, killing the monster. But it was already dark and we took refuge in a small office. Terex starts sending distress signals.
I heard a group of demons screaming and running outside, and the sky began to thunder and rain, and the thunder and rain and the demon sounds were like a chaotic symphony. I held Salvador in my arms, read the Bible, prayed to God, and prayed that we would die a happy death, at least better than in Simon's hands.
I picked up my pistol and aimed it at Sammy's temple, first him, then me, and I would not abandon my brother, never, and not die. ”
Betty and Salvador clasped hands together, smiling a little nervously. Salvatore said, "Sister, I didn't know you had such plans. ”
"When we are desperate, we give up thinking and choose the shortest, fastest suffering," Lamia said. ”
I remembered the same sense of hopelessness, when I was trapped in a secret room of steel, Ochid.... They were outside the secret room, and they persuaded me through the intercom to become "true relatives" with them and get eternal life. They sang cheerful songs to show me how happy they were right now.
I wanted to die, but I'm still alive, and I've forgotten a lot, but I don't think I lost myself.
Lamia continued: "Soon after, the demons broke through the office door, and Fura took out two white demons, but was torn-off by the other. Terex ran out of the last bullet, and he was killed along with the remaining demons.
The storm had subsided, and there was no more demonic sound, and a cold wind blew outside the house, mingling with the smell of blood.
I looked at the room full of corpses, horrible demons, and rangers who didn't know us, but who bravely protected us. Once again, I wept as their deaths convinced me that there was still justice in the black coffin, and that good could triumph over evil, or at least retreat evil. I decided to go back to the Black Coffin and tell the Rangers about their deaths, and then tell them about Simon, and they would believe it, and surely some of them would believe it, and the Archon of the Black Coffin said that we are the hope of humanity, that they are wise, and that they are not stubborn.
Someone at the door said, 'What a mess.' ’
It wasn't just Simon who walked in, there were two others, one a young woman and the other a young man. Simon was at the front, and I aimed my gun in his eye and fired, and Simon shook his head and dodged the bullet with great speed. He said, 'Where did you learn such accurate marksmanship?' Nearly killed me. ’
The young woman said, 'Guns are the most dangerous in the hands of children who can use guns, they are neither light nor heavy.' She moved her fingers, and my fingers froze, and I couldn't pull the trigger anymore. I shouted to Sammy: 'Run! Sammy cried quietly, and he said he couldn't move his feet, and I found mine too.
Simon said, 'Lamia, I have no ill will towards you. I mean what I say to Lana, I love her, and I love you and Salvador. ’
I said, 'You killed Mom!' Kill Daddy! ’
Simon said, 'The reason for this is complicated, I could have just picked you three up instead of going through the hassle of using possession. ’
I shouted as best I could: 'Because you are mean, you want to be with your mother!' ’
Simon said, 'Yes! Yes! There is no greater wish in my life than this! Do you know? Lana and I have known each other for a long time, and she should have belonged to me! She and I were separated for some reason, and she shouldn't have married John the Pig! On what basis did he possess this living angel? If it weren't for John's soul rebelling against me at that time, I wouldn't have killed the love of my life! ’
The young man said, 'Master, let us get on our way while the storm has stopped, and we will go to the Eagle's Nest, which is a long and uncertain journey. He seemed to make a gesture, and my feet were free again.
I saw a pair of hands silently covering the young man's mouth and slitting the young man's throat, and when the young man fell to the ground, the young woman and Simon had just realized it. Almost instantly, the young woman suffered the same fate as her companions. Simon reacted and dodged as quickly as I saw an emaciated figure standing in the doorway, holding a dagger in his hand.
Simon was furious, and he began to cast a spell against the assassin, but he heard someone shouting in the distance: 'Longinus, what have you found?' Some people approached here.
The assassin named Longinus said: 'Three shameless people who want to kidnap two children. He couldn't be heard clearly in the thunder, but it seemed that he was young.
Simon struck out, as fast as a gust of wind, and the assassin fell to the wall as if he had broken a bone. But the assassin's companions arrived, and they laid siege to Simon alone.
I don't know if any of them will survive, but Salvador and I escaped through the back door, and I vaguely remember the way back to the Black Coffin, and after walking for three days and three nights, we met the Rangers who came to search for us. ”
