Volume 1 Dawn Chapter 14 Psych
At three o'clock in the morning, in a small western-style building in downtown Hanning, the man who called himself Eros was angrily smashing furniture. Whether it was a cup or a chair, he picked it up and smashed it at anything that reflected light.
"Help me, let me out."
The resentful female voice cried and wailed in Elos's mind, as if the whole apartment was filled with resentment.
"Help me, let me out."
"No !!"
Eros frantically shuttled through the apartment, too dark in the night to see his face. He wrapped his naked body in Kiryu's silk robe, and walked downstairs, heading straight for the large gold-framed mirror on the first floor.
"No !!"
Eros dragged the wooden chair next to him and threw his head over the mirror. With the sound of mirrors shattering, countless pieces of broken glass shattered in the air and scattered on the ground.
"Help me, save me, save me......"
Eros struggled in pain on the ground and begged for mercy, and even though he had smashed everything in the house that reflected the light, the sound could not be dissipated for a long time.
"That girl was just an accident, I'll let you out of her body, I swear......"
The man was rolling on the ground with a splitting headache, and the sound was too loud. He struggled to crawl towards his bedroom, the broken glass on the floor sliding through his skin, leaving a long trail of blood on the floor.
Trembling, he braced himself up, pulled the black hood out of the cupboard, and hurriedly put it on himself.
"Ahh Ah.....h
The moment he put it on, the voice disappeared, and the man breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
Damn it, damn it, who that masked guy is, if it weren't for him I could have released the butterfly.
Eros held his head in both hands and stroked the hood, the velvet touch reassuring him. The entire hood was made of a thin layer of velvet, and there was no place to show his features, and it was pitch black, but he could clearly see the outside from the inside.
He thought back to the man he had met the night before, wearing a dark bulletproof mask, his eyes glistening in the moonlight, like a hungry beast, cold and terrifying.
"What to do, are you going to kill him?"
Eros asked himself, but he heard the exact same voice as himself, echoing through the room.
"No, his movements are very accurate, we can't beat him."
"Then what should I do, I won't be so lucky to meet again."
"Use the tube of hallucinogens we made, make more backups, no matter how powerful he is, he can't stop it."
"That's right! You're right! Haha, hahaha"
"Haha, don't worry about him just yet, the girl lying in the hospital is the most important thing, we need to release Psyche."
"That's right, release Psyche, hahahaha......"
The man's laughter was intermittent, like a cold machine, and in the moonlight, a purple-blue butterfly landed on the broken glass, contrasting with the blood on the ground, looking resentful and eerie.
Kane sat down next to Zhang Jiajia's hospital bed and handed her a cup of warm tea, although the neck brace was still on her neck, it was much better, her neck could move, and she could speak.
"Your parents will be coming over tonight, don't worry, is the temperature of the tea okay?"
Zhang Jiajia nodded and smiled at Kane.
Kane smiled back, blinking slightly, and he bowed forward slightly, clasping his fingers together in a relaxed gesture.
These small actions can make the other party feel at ease and help the victim recall what happened.
"Can you tell me about what happened?"
Zhang Jiajia hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice,
"I was walking, and that alley I used to walk was the shortest way home."
Kane listened carefully, his memory was strong, he didn't need to take notes, and the sound of writing made her nervous.
"I was walking as usual, but suddenly I heard footsteps behind me, and just as I wanted to look back, someone strangled my neck from behind"
Kane watched Jiajia's hand shake a little,
"Then he pressed me to the ground and rode on top of me, and he was so strong that I couldn't see his face......"
Zhang Jiajia's body trembled, and Kane put his hand on the back of her hand, and immediately felt a coldness.
Kane's palms were warm, and Jiajia looked back at him, feeling a little safe.
"Thank you"
Kane smiled and said,
"You're welcome"
"By the way, he's been muttering something while he strangled me."
When Kane heard this, he was instantly interested, and his eyes lit up.
"Oh? Did he say anything? ”
Zhang Jiajia nodded,
"He kept saying, don't worry, I'll get you out right away, butterfly or something, and kept muttering a word."
"What words?"
Zhang Jiajia thought hard,
"It sounds like ...... Psycht, Psyche! ”
The moment he heard this word, Kane suddenly understood something, and he immediately called Hongyu to inform him to come to the hospital.
Hiroha answers the phone and hears Kane say that he may have a clue and tells him to hurry to the hospital. After the call, Hiroha put down the phone and glanced at the Coco dessert shop across the street, where Miyu, who was Kane's assistant, was sitting inside, eating ice cream with her female colleagues.
He sighed helplessly and stopped a taxi to rush back to the hospital.
“Do you know psyche? Psyche in Greek mythology? The girl said that.... (Do you know Psyche?) Psyche in Greek mythology, the girl said..."
Kane spoke English in an anxious tone, and when he was in a hurry, he would speak his native dialect and speak with a classical British accent. The two of them found a storage room on the third floor to talk, and the small space seemed to be Kane's loud voice.
"Stop, stop!"
Hongyu covered his ears and said to him,
"Speak human words."
Kane realized his gaffe, he cleared the sang, reorganized the language,
"The girl told me that the murderer had been talking about Psyche at the time of the murder, and did you know Psyche?
Hongyu looked at him with a confused expression, spread his hands and shook his head.
Kane didn't know what to say for a while,
"Psyche, also known as Psyche, is the goddess of the soul in Roman mythology, and in Greek mythology, she is the wife of Cupid, the goddess of love."
"Psyche is spelled in English, and the original English spelling for psychology is psychology. She said that the murderer kept muttering butterflies in his mouth, and in Greek mythology, Psyche was portrayed as a butterfly! ”
Hongyu frowned, straightened his sitting posture, and motioned for Kane to continue.
"War is a lingering shadow for soldiers, many people suffer from PTSD of varying degrees, and Psyche's image of a butterfly is a textbook symbol, the mythical butterfly has undergone a long period of pain before being transformed, and not many people know this allusion."
Kane paused as he spoke,
"I think I know what his hallucinations are, and even fewer people can imprint the image of Psyche in the subconscious and turn it into a hallucination."
Hongyu looked at Kane with wide eyes, and every hair on his body stood up,
"You mean you know ......"
"That's right!"
Kane smiled and bared his teeth, his eyes revealing joy that could not be concealed,
"I think the identity of the murderer is a military doctor, a military doctor who has participated in a tragic war!"
The two looked at each other, very excited.
"I asked the assistant to reclassify, and after investigation, there are only 11 retired military doctors in the city, and only 4 are related to Aion!"
Hongyu stood up excitedly, this is great news! Hongyu wants to catch that bastard now, and he can't delay for a moment!
But Hongyu suddenly had a question,
"Since he missed this time, according to his anti-reconnaissance awareness, he must know that he has exposed his feet, will he have fled?"
Kane patted him on the shoulder and said confidently,
"Even if you run away and catch him, it will be sooner or later, he won't run, isn't it self-defeating to mess up without evidence? Besides......"
Kane stopped in the middle of his sentence, and the smile on his face was gone.
"And what?"
Hongyu realized that something was wrong,
"And he won't run...... If he doesn't kill that girl, the illusion will always haunt him......."
Hongyu was shocked, and suddenly felt a panic, when he entered the hospital hall just now, he saw a tall male nurse, pushing a trolley into the elevator, the person was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face.
Hong Yu felt that something was wrong with him just now, but he didn't notice that something was wrong, and now he knows that it was murderous.
The man's eyes were full of murderous eyes!
