Gu Chenxi stared at the butterfly in the dark, her wings flashing with a bewitching purple-blue light, like the quiet glow of the seabed, which was the deadliest trap hidden in the darkness.

In Greek, the butterfly is called Psyk, which represents the wife of the god of love, but there is another thing that co-resides with the butterfly, and that is the "soul".

Perhaps in the eyes of the ancient Greeks, the beauty and lightness of butterflies after painful and long purification are the image portrayal of the human soul, and the image of butterfly life represents the ephemeral and light-hearted eternity of change, transformation, and even beauty.

In Christian art, butterflies are often a symbol of the resurrection of the human soul, and we can see the image of Psych appearing on the inserts of ancient Greek mythological writings, often with the light wings of a butterfly on her back.

From Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle in ancient Greece to Laozi and Zhuangzi in ancient China. They believe that death is not the end, but a transformation, and that it is not necessarily a liberation from the bondage of the physical and the real.

Physical death may be the liberation of the soul, like a butterfly flying out of a chrysalis. A butterfly is the most beautiful image. In Zhuang Zhou's world, butterflies are love and soul.

Just as Gu Chenxi was recalling the knowledge he had seen in the books, the butterfly suddenly went crazy, flapped its wings vigorously, broke through the hood of Elos, and rushed towards Gu Chenxi.

He snapped his eyes open, gasping for air. But after he took a few breaths, he suddenly smiled evilly.

[I know your little secret.] ]

Gu Chenxi majored in psychology in his second major because of his personal hobby, and when he was reading ancient books and myths, he had seen stories of resurrecting the dead by sacrificing the living.

Sacrifice four living souls into four butterflies, the first to illuminate the eternal night of Erebos, the second to bewitch Cerberus to guard the door, the third to bewitch the guide of the River Styx, and the fourth to return home with the dead souls.

Gu Chenxi had always felt that after seeing the photos of the three victim girls, although they looked different, they did have some similarities, and now he knew.

[Vitality is strong... The three girls all have the same demeanor, their eyes are firm, confident, full of hope for the future, and the eyes of those who are persistent in something reveal light, which is also the desire for life. ]

A burst of headache and dizziness hit Gu Chenxi, he didn't have a good rest during this time, and he was frightened by the empathy simulation just now, he was a little unbearable.

[The butterfly just flew out of the hood's eye, so he saw the hallucination... It is in the eyes of those people that he sees butterflies, and the person who can see butterflies in his eyes is his goal! ]

Gu Chenxi kneaded his trigeminal nerve, wanting to relieve the pain, now is the time for his thoughts to be clear, and he can't be interrupted by a headache.

Now that he knew the purpose of Eros's murder, his wife was feared to have died before him, and for some reason he became insane, hallucinating that he could resurrect his wife through sacrifice.

According to the four deadly sins rituals described in the ancient book of the past life, he needs to sacrifice four souls, the first three are responsible for finding the dead souls, and the last one is responsible for bringing back the dead souls, and the container is needed to keep the dead alive in the world, which means that the last sacrifice must appear in the ceremony and act as a container.

Now that three have died, I'm afraid that when Gu Chenxi saw Eros for the first time, he wanted to kill people and bring them back, but now the situation has changed, and he has no time to commit the crime in full view of everyone, so he has to bring people back first, and then complete the ritual.

Gu Chenxi sat on the stone bench and rubbed his temples with both hands. After stopping to think, the headache was also quickly relieved.

"Whew~ It's time to sleep for two days." With that, he yawned again.

A bolt of lightning swept through the sky, illuminating half of the sky for a moment, and after about three or four seconds, there was a rolling roar, as if the mountain had been blown apart by artillery.

Gu Chenxi was startled by the thunder, and it seemed that the soles of his feet also felt the ground trembling. He gasped and hurried into the house.

"Tsk, the storm is coming."

At eleven o'clock in the evening, a thunderclap woke Zhang Jiajia from his deep sleep, and the curtains illuminated by thunder and lightning flashed one after another, just like in a horror movie. She glanced at her sleeping mother on the bed next to her, and felt a little comforted in her heart.

"Whew... Why is it so stuffy in the house? Zhang Jiajia muttered quietly.

Jiajia carefully got up and got out of bed, her feet on the plush carpet, and she cautiously walked to the window and slowly opened the curtains.

[Can't wake my mom.] ]

The curtains were pulled aside, and she looked through the window at the rainstorm outside. The rain was so heavy that most of the city was lit up, and only thunder and lightning flashed to illuminate the whole city.

Taking advantage of the cold outside, she leaned her face against the window and sighed mischievously, the gentle air flow forming a layer of moisture on the glass.

Zhang Jiajia became interested and drew a smiling face on the water vapor with her fingers. She looked at the smiling face and remembered Gu Chenxi, who came to visit a few days ago.

[Dress cleanly, look clean, and look good when you smile.] ]

The girl stood there in a daze, suddenly realizing that she had committed a nymphomaniac, she shook her head and slapped her face with her hand.

[Wake up, you guy.] ]

Zhang Jiajia recovered from her trance, and a lightning flash swept through the sky, illuminating the room. She opened her eyes and saw her face reflected in the glass for a split second.

"Ahh

Zhang Jiaji exclaimed in surprise, his whole body collapsed, and he sat on the ground.

"Huh? What's wrong?! ”

Zhang's mother was awakened by her daughter's screams, hurriedly turned on the bedside lamp, and took out the fruit knife hidden next to the pillow.

"Which one doesn't want to move the old lady.... Oops, Jiajia...."

Zhang's mother pulled her hair and saw her daughter sitting on the floor in front of the window.

"Son, what are you doing sitting there?"

Zhang Jiajia sat on the ground, motionless.

[.... It's so embarrassing, I was actually taken aback by myself, and it was as if I was so ugly that I said it...]

"No... It's okay mom, I.. I'm having nightmares..."

Mother Zhang's 'oh' and breathed a sigh of relief, her nerves are also tense these days, and she can't sleep soundly. Zhang Jiajia was always said to be wild like a boy when she was a child. In fact, what kind of wild is she, if they want to talk about wildness, they should really see how wild her mother was when she was young.

As soon as Zhang's mother breathed a sigh of relief, the door was suddenly opened, and she was so frightened that she clenched the knife again.

"What's wrong?! What's wrong?! ”

The people who came in were the two policemen guarding the door, one was holding a baton, standing in front of the door and looking into the house, and the other was standing behind him and feeling the gun at his waist.

"Are you two alright?"

Zhang Jiajia sat there still motionless, she was now blushing, embarrassed to find a crack to stuff in.

"It's okay, my daughter has a nightmare and woke up scared." Mother Zhang smiled and explained to the two of them, "Oh, I'm sorry to trouble the police comrades." ”

Zhang Jiajia slowly turned her head and smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, you're fine, why are you so red?"

Zhang Jiajia looked at him and said, "It's okay, it's hot." ”

Although the policeman felt strange, he couldn't say anything more, put away his baton and prepared to go out.

"It's okay, then let's go out first, right at the door, something calls us."

Mother Zhang got up and said to the two of them, "Okay, okay, it's really hard for you." ”

After the two policemen went out, Zhang Jiajia got up from the ground and patted the dust on his buttocks. She walked towards her mother and hugged her mother from behind with open hands.

"Yo? Why did you suddenly come over and be spoiled? ”

Zhang's mother felt strange, her heart was warm and itchy, for parents, it was a very happy thing to be hugged by their grown children.

Zhang Jiajia leaned her head on Zhang's mother's back and said, "Mom, I'll tell you something, don't tell it." ”

"Hmm."

"I just saw that it was raining outside, and then I flashed, and just........"

"Poof. Hahaha..."After listening to Zhang Mule, her daughter is so cute."

"Well~~~~~~" Zhang Jiajia rubbed her mother's back with her face and sprinkled her coquettishness.

"Oops, my silly baby."

Zhang's mother turned around and held her daughter's face with her hand, and after a few days, her daughter's face had improved eighty percent, and the swelling had disappeared a lot. It turns out that the girl has phoenix eyes, and she also has dimples on her cheeks when she laughs.

The mother and daughter stood in the house, and they were tired of it for a while, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, and the mother and daughter looked at the doors and windows curiously, and decided to go out together.

Opening the door of the ward, Zhang Jiajia saw a few nurses gathered in the corridor talking quietly, and a few more policemen came in front of the nurses' station, and they didn't know what they were talking about with the previous plainclothes.

"Excuse me, do you know what's going on?"

Zhang Jiajia asked the police guarding the door.

"Ah, it seems to be someone from the Criminal Investigation Brigade, I heard that they found that murderer, and they are arresting it." The policeman looked at her as he said this.

"Those few are probably the additional manpower, I don't know the specifics, don't worry, there are eight or nine policemen on this floor, and they can't get in." After saying that, he motioned to the mother and daughter to stay in the room as much as possible, and if there was something to trouble them, it would be fine.

Zhang Jiajia pulled her mother back to the house and sat on the edge of the bed together. After hearing the news of the murderer again, Jiajia was still a little scared in her heart, and always unconsciously clasped her little thumb.

Mother Zhang noticed her daughter's thoughts, so she sat beside her and took her daughter into her arms.

"Bao'er is not afraid, my mother is here, my mother is very good at fighting, but she was the boss of the school at the beginning."

Hearing this, Jiajia laughed, it is better to have a mother's child, and there is always someone to take care of in case of trouble.

She looked up and asked her mother, "Mom, where is my dad?" ”

"Your dad...."Mother Zhang reacted at this time, the old man had been gone for a long time, "Your dad went to the police station before, and he texted at night that the rainstorm was too big and trapped your dad there." ”

"Oh," she leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, "and I don't know if the food there is to his liking." ”

After saying that, the mother and daughter laughed together.
