Chapter 16: The Fallen Angel

The twins' personalities are so different that it is often forgotten how similar their faces are.

"I know what you want to do...... Meng Yinghua held on to the handrail of the stairs and walked to the living room step by step, no one spoke, the mansion was terrifyingly quiet, and only his voice could be heard.

"I know you already know, I know you will know sooner or later, but I didn't expect you to want to bear the sins in my place. Handsome, don't be like this, I'm your brother, you should ...... It's up to me to protect, and if you just leave me dead like that, what's the point of everything I do? ”

Meng Yingjun's hand waving the knife was trembling, and finally as soon as his hand was released, the fruit knife fell to the ground with a "ding" sound, and the boy covered his face and sobbed, and sat on the ground:

“…… I remembered, I remembered it all...... What Daddy forced me to do, he touched me with his dirty hands! I know, I saw it all! The elder brother took the kitchen knife and stabbed the demon in the head, and the blood splattered out, staining his hands. Everybody's watching! The older brother had his back to the stairs, so he couldn't see. But I saw that Ma Xiangtao was in her room, opening the curtains and watching; Yu Yongyi was in the kitchen, looking at him coldly; Grandpa Ge was in the middle pavilion, and he looked through the curtain of the door...... Look! Look! Look! All the people are watching, indifferently and emotionlessly! I can't stand it! I forgot everything as usual, but I knew that one day I would remember everything. I owe my brother, I owe him my life......"

"Say no more!" Meng Yinghua ran forward, hugged his younger brother, and hugged him tightly in his arms, "It's not your fault!" You have done nothing wrong, you have no sin! You don't owe me! I am your brother, and it is my duty to protect you. ”

Meng Yingjun curled up his whole body in Meng Yinghua's arms, while Meng Yinghua resolutely turned his head and faced the people in the living room.

"I don't regret killing that brute, he should have died when we were born! And you, you, you, you! Meng Yinghua's finger pointed at Ma Xiangtao, Yu Yongyi and Ge Tianlu, and there was desperate resentment in his voice, "You deserve to die too!" ”

"Yinghua! Calm down! Yang Wenbin shouted at the twins, but it was useless.

Meng Yingjun suddenly laughed in Meng Yinghua's arms, and his laughter was as crisp and beautiful as a silver bell.

"Brother, do you remember that story?"

"Which story?" Meng Yinghua lowered his head and asked softly.

"When we were younger, Brother Yu always told us stories. There's one story that I like the most. Meng Yingjun raised his head, his big eyes showed innocent yearning,

"The two children were abandoned by their parents and they were lost in the forest. The stepmother said, 'We are too poor to raise these two children anymore.' The couple threw the children into the forest, but the clever brother threw the stones along the way, and the brothers followed the stones and went home. The stepmother said, 'This time, we must not let them come back.' In the evening, my brother tried to pick up pebbles, but the door was locked. The next day they were thrown again into the forest, and they had to use bread instead of pebbles and scatter them along the road. Unexpectedly, the bread was eaten by the birds. They were sleepy and hungry in the forest until they saw a candy house. ”

"I didn't expect the candy house to be where the bad witch lived, and she arrested the two brothers." Meng Yinghua smiled and continued Meng Yingjun's story, "Just when my brother was about to be eaten, my brother bravely pushed the bad witch into the boiling water. ”

"The Bad Witch was killed by their brothers who worked together, and they finally returned home safely!" Meng Yingjun laughed happily, "Brother, we have defeated the Bad Witch!" ”

The story of the two children seems to have an inexplicable attraction, and no one is not listening with bated breath, almost immersed in the beautiful and sad story of the children.

"What does it smell like?" Yan Junli frowned, and suddenly said, "Do you smell anything?" ”

Li Hong stood up suddenly, "It's the smell of burning!" Where is the fire? ”

"What?"

"It's from the restaurant!"

There was no time to make any movement, and the flames suddenly flew high, burning from the old tablecloth all the way to the floor of the living room.

"He knocked over the candlestick!" Yang Wenbin shouted, "Yinghua deliberately knocked over the candlestick when he went downstairs!" The floor of the old house is all waxed again! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, it's important to save the children!" Yuan Chengze still showed his duties as a policeman at the critical moment, he bravely pounced forward, but was forced back by the heat wave.

The twins, who were closest to the source of the fire, were soon surrounded by the flames, and in the distorted air, two people could be vaguely seen holding each other's hands and singing softly:

"Go, angel of earth. Come with us to that unknown dreamland.

There are sweets and sweet dreams, and little fairies in a circle.

Flowers will surround you, and the wind will caress your face.

Let's go, boy of the world.

Everyone in heaven loves you so much......"

"Find a way to extinguish the fire!" Yan Junli shouted.

But the scene is out of control. Ma Xiangtao screamed and tried to escape from the house, but was smashed by a burning beam, she struggled desperately, and in the confusion clung to the ankle of Yu Yongyi as she fled.

"Let go of me! Let go of me, you a**! Yu Yongyi stomped on Ma Xiangtao's hand fiercely and tried to break away.

"Nope! I won't survive and won't let you out alive! Ma Xiangtao said viciously, "We can't escape the curse of this manor, and you are no exception!" ”

Ge Tianlu stood silently, looking up at the rotten and moldy roof of the old mansion, not planning to escape, nor to put out the fire.

"Run! It's too late! Li Hong shouted.

"No! The twins are still inside! Yang Wenbin roared in despair, desperately rushing into the sea of fire.

"Do you want to die! Give me back! Yan Junli was furious and desperately grabbed Yang Wenbin, "We can't save them anymore!" ”

"But they're just kids!" Yang Wenbin shouted heartbreakingly.

Yan Junli used a force in his arm, and he picked up Yang Wenbin whole, and a donkey rolled through the wall of fire.

"Strict team! Dr. Yang! Are you all right? Li Hong immediately stepped forward.

Yan Junli put Yang Wenbin down, gasped and waved his hand.

"Who else hasn't come out?" Yuan Chengze asked anxiously.

Almost as soon as Yuan Chengze's words fell, the entire house collapsed due to burning, and the choking smoke drifted far away.

"It seems that only the four of us have come out." Yang Wenbin muttered to himself.

In the distance, the singing of twins seemed to float in the air.

————————————————————

After the case of Rose County Manor was over, Yang Wenbin and his family stayed in the local area for about a week, on the one hand, Yan Junli and Li Hong wanted to write a report and submit it to City C, and on the other hand, they were also left by the police in City B as eyewitnesses to make a record.

It took several days for the local police to clear the wreckage of the old house, and the century-old manor was easily burned in a fire. The atmosphere of sadness always permeated the three of them, and Yang Wenbin was silent for several days, as if he could not escape from the shadow of the incident.

"I've heard the whole story."

Yang Wenbin turned his head sharply, and the poppy stood silently by his door for some time.

"It has nothing to do with you." Yang Wenbin turned his head again.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but Doctor Yang, it's really not your fault." Poppy walked over to Yang Wenbin and gently rested his hands on the back of his chair, "After all, they are just strangers, you don't need to be so difficult for yourself." ”

"Strangers?" Yang Wenbin looked at Poppy sharply, with anger in his eyes, "Of course, they're nothing to you, but it's just-"

"I heard." Poppy calmly interrupted Yang Wenbin's words, "I heard that when the police cleaned up the scene, they only found three bodies. ”

"What?" Yang Wenbin was stunned.

"That is, the police did not find the bodies of the twins." Poppy whispered.

"But so what." Yang Wenbin lowered his eyelids again, "We have all seen them trapped in the raging fire, and it is impossible for them to escape from such a big fire." ”

"Isn't that good?" Poppy laughed and said, "You know, maybe they just went back to heaven." These two children, they were originally angels who fell from heaven. ”

"Do you believe this?" Yang Wenbin asked suspiciously.

"Of course not. But human beings sometimes just need to make up lies to comfort themselves. Otherwise, this world is so dark, how can we survive in it? Poppy straightened up, "I'm just here to remind you, you can't really forget something more important, do you?" ”

Yang Wenbin was excited, "Clown? ”

Poppy nodded, sliding his phone off the desktop for him, "Last night, I used the key you gave me to log in to the Clown's dark web. ”

"Did you board it?" Yang Wenbin immediately asked.

"Ascend is ascending. But the site was empty. Poppy shook his head, "There's nothing left for us, users, data, and even browsing traces have all been erased." ”

"How so!" The hope that had just been ignited in Yang Wenbin's eyes was shattered again.

"They're a very vigilant bunch, and that's not a surprise at all. Still, they left a message on that site, which I think is for you. Poppy motioned for Yang Wenbin to look at the phone screen.

The screen is white, with only a line of bold black information and a clown-like character art:

Congratulations, you've won the game! But you've killed five people.

You're not a hero. You're just a murderer.

Enjoy the calm before the rainstorm. Don't worry, our game hasn't started yet.
