Chapter 2: The Dark Side of Human Nature

() Mom Mom

In the midst of the chaos, Tonya seemed to hear her daughter calling out to her

Mom, wake up, wake up, Mom......

Tina's voice seemed to be in a hurry, which caused Tonya's consciousness, which was still asleep, to revive on its own

Consciousness gradually returned to her hands and feet, and Tonya began to slowly feel the presence of her body, and she slowly opened her eyelids, and the blurred scene gradually became clear - it was Tina's extremely anxious face

What are you doing...... Tiny Tonya said weakly, and then she closed her eyes again, and slept really uncomfortably, since the beginning of her fugitive career, she had not closed her eyes as peacefully as she did now, and Tonya was reluctant to wake up, so she was dissatisfied with her daughter's waking up

Oh no, something happened to us, Tina's expression was so frightened that she spoke faster and her voice sharper, but this shrill voice unlike usual made her mother give up sleeping completely

Tonya suddenly lost her sleepiness, and she immediately opened her eyes, and this time she clearly noticed that little Tina's face was full of irritability, and there were two tear stains that had appeared from deep fear

How...... Tonya subconsciously wanted to reach out to hug her daughter, but she only felt her hands numb for a while, unable to move, and she looked at her hands for half a minute, only to see that her hands were tightly tied with hemp rope, not only her hands, but also her feet were tied tightly

This unexpected sight frightened Tonya, and she looked over to Tina, only to see that the little girl was also tied up with hemp rope

Why is this happening, Tonya asks her daughter

I don't know if Tina was crying and saying that I just woke up and found that I was being tied

Who tied us up, help, help...... Panicked, Tonya screams in vain for help in the cramped basement

Whatever the noise would bring 'those things' to me, be quiet, and an old man's voice came from the direction of the entrance to the basement, and Tonya and Tiny looked over to see an old man walking down the stairs into the basement on crutches, and then turned to close the basement door

Ivan saw the familiar thin figure, Tonya grabbed a straw like a drowning man, help, Ivan, come and save us, someone tied us up

However, Ivan was indifferent to Tonya's plea for help, and he stood at the bottom of the stairs on crutches, watching the wrinkled faces of the bound mother and daughter, no longer full of the enthusiastic smiles they had when they first met, but rather like endless banter

Mr. Ivan...... Difficult...... Could it be that Tonya had thought of a terrible truth, and Ivan's attitude had made it clear who Tonya had bound them to be, and that there was a fourth living person in this basement

Is the water sweet yesterday I pinched the amount of medicine Ivan squatted down and reached out to lift Tonya's chin lightly

I don't understand why you are doing this, and at this time Tonya's mind is blank, why the original amiable old man Ivan would do such a thing, she really can't think of a reason

Ivan's grandfather Tina is very uncomfortable, quickly help Tina and her mother untie the rope, the naïve little Tina has not yet reacted, whose masterpiece this qiē is, and actually regards Ivan as a savior

Little Tina Ivan turned around and reached out to touch the little girl's face, Grandpa Ivan once told you that everyone has a dark side hidden in their hearts, especially in the face of great disasters, this dark side of human nature is more and more obvious, you don't seem to understand it at the time, right, then you should understand it now

Ah, at Tina's young age, she may still seem to understand what Ivan said just now, but there is one thing she clearly knows, the old man in front of her is no longer the kind and kind Grandpa Ivan of yesterday

Don't touch my daughter, Tonya, ran headlong into the crumpled dry hand that stroked Tina's face, knocking it to the side

However, Tonya's actions angered Ivan, and in retaliation, he gave Tonya a slap in the face, and although his body was old, the slap was still strong enough to make a bloody streak from the corner of Tonia's mouth

Mom, Tiny Tina pounced on Tonya, Grandpa Ivan, don't hit my mother

The mother turned over and stood in front of her daughter, and Tonya glared at Ivan: What the hell do you want to do

What are you doing...... Ivan pulled over a box and sat on the box, originally the supplies here were enough for me to live for a year, but the arrival of the two of you consumed at least half of my supplies, do you really think you can eat and live for nothing, no matter what, I will get some compensation back

Tonya grew more and more afraid that she didn't know what this hypocritical old man would do to them

Hey...... Ivan didn't answer directly, but the lustful look he gave when he looked at Tonya's full chest was the best answer

You old donkey, don't think about it, Tonya flatly refused Ivan's unwarranted request

Hehe...... Maybe you should take a look at these things, Tonya's refusal did not anger Ivan, on the contrary, he unhurriedly pulled over the two boxes, the once incomparably powerful Snowy Federation has now become a terrible purgatory, if I don't have a little ability, how can I survive in this purgatory, while talking Ivan, I opened the two boxes, the two mothers and daughters only felt a churn in their stomachs, only to see that the things poured out of the box were actually four destroyed corpses, which looked like three adults and a child, they looked like they had been dead for a long time, although in the strict climate of the Far North, the corpses were not easy to decay, but the loss of water made the corpses twist into a terrifying dry posturestate

This family was originally the real owner of this basement and the house, and it was because they all chose to reject me that they became like this, but now they and the one that originally belonged to them all belong to me, haha...... When you see this, you must have made the exact opposite decision from the previous one, and Madame fiddled with the corpses at will, and Ivan's look of interest seemed to be admiring a work of art

You...... At this time, Tonya's mood was like being ruthlessly shattered in the ice kiln, in addition to fear and remorse, more blame herself, how to take her daughter into this wolf's den to do such a foolish thing of self-defeating, I ...... Tonya nodded to Ivan with tears in her eyes, you can do whatever you want, I can give you whatever you want, but please don't hurt my daughter, Tonya gave up resistance, although she knew that she would be sorry for her deceased husband if she did so, but for the safety of her daughter, she had no choice but to endure humiliation and steal her life

Who knew that Ivan actually raised an index finger and shook it in front of her, and put on a negative meaning: Who would be interested in you old skin and rough meat

What did this vicious old man's target not be herself, which made Tonya feel extremely stunned and happy, but then she was enveloped by a deeper fear...... Do you want to ......

The old man grinned and turned his gaze to young Tina

Nodonia shouted with all her might, "If there's anything, you just come at me, don't touch my daughter."

Be quiet, Madame, the outside is full of 'those things', if you bring 'those things' because your love is out of control, it will be a big problem, Ivan turned to Tonya and put his left index finger on his lips, at this time Tonya found that Ivan's left middle finger was gone

Could it be the missing middle finger of the left hand...... Something suddenly flashed through Tonya's mind: You are Ivan Kapushkin

Hehe, it's been 20 years, I can't imagine that anyone still remembers me, I think I was forgotten by the world

Yikes...... Ivan's affirmative answer made Tonya's mind go blank, she didn't expect that she would encounter such a demon

20 years ago, there was a series of horrific horrific murders in the eastern city of Polfishagrad, the victims were all young girls, the oldest of them was only 12 years old, the youngest was only 3 years old, these girls were raped and then killed by extremely bloody means, because the means were so inhumane that some people even speculated that these tragedies were all demons who crossed the other dimension and came to the real world, but in the end, the truth of the matter was finally discovered, the murderer was not a demon in the world of another dimension, but a living human being, but his behavior was more terrible than the demon, and what was more shocking was the true identity of the murdererBut in the city of Polfishagrad there is a very famous diamond alchemist: Ivan Kapushkin

Speaking of this, Ivan Kapushkin was indeed known to everyone back then, and no one knew that he was famous for his serious research attitude and outstanding contributions to alchemy, and when he was young, he accidentally lost the middle finger of his left hand because of an alchemy practice, and the alchemical treatise he compiled is still the compulsory theoretical material of the Snowy Federal Academy of Magic, if it weren't for the East Window Incident back then, he would still be a respected and kind elder, but who would have thought that such a bookish scholar would actually be a perverted pedophile murderer

Therefore, Ivan Kapushkin was given a nickname - the nine-fingered butcher, such a well-dressed beast, and his actions were simply outrageous, and one of the many victims was even his own granddaughter, because his atrocities were so bad that many parents in the Snowy Federation often used the name of Ivan Kapushkin to scare their disobedient daughters: If you are not well-behaved. Ivan Kapushkin, the Nine-Fingered Butcher, came to you tonight, when Tonya was a little girl, she was frightened by her parents many times with similar words, so the name Ivan Kapushkin has left a deep imprint on her memory since she was a child

But how could she have thought that this wicked man, who only appeared in the reprimand of the elders to educate their children, would now appear in front of her alive.
