Chapter 268: Dark Eyes
It's night.
Star Swirl walks in the middle of nowhere. In this night wrapped in thick ink, there is not a single light of light. She had to move slowly.
My nose smelled a damp smell, as if it were the smell of seawater, and a cold wind with a slight smell of sea came to my face.
Star Swirl takes a step forward, and the whole person suddenly falls into the bottomless abyss. However, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make any sound.
She didn't feel any pain when she touched the ground, and she was sure she was in a dream.
A faint ray of light hits her forehead, and Star Swirl looks up to see a crescent moon as the clouds clear.
She got up from the ground and saw a huge coffin beside her. The lid of the coffin had been opened, and a boy was lying inside.
It was as if he was asleep, his expression was serene and serene, and there was a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth. The soft eyebrows match the nose, and even under the snow-like skin, cyan capillaries are faintly visible.
The boy's hair was faintly shiny, lighter than usual, a shade between brown and flaxen.
Star Swirl couldn't help but reach out and stroke the boy's hair, which was as smooth and delicate as silk, and could melt at any moment.
Suddenly, the boy opened his eyes.
Extremely dark eyes, there seemed to be a dark cloud pressed down in them.
Star Swirl snapped back as the lid of the coffin snapped shut, and a small pale hand reached out through the crack and gently grabbed Star Swirl's hand. Cool to the touch.
Star Swirl screams as she wakes up from her sleep.
Instead of pitch black, the ceiling was pink. Outside the window, the morning light has gradually illuminated the earth.
Star Swirl sat up from the bed in a daze, feeling a familiar feeling to the boy in her dream, but she couldn't remember when or where she had seen it.
She didn't like the feeling of confusion.
The living room is quiet, with a note from Mr. X on the coffee table and breakfast for Star Swirl on the table.
"Come to the office for something." In a word, concise and to the point.
After freshening up, Star Swirl snuggled up on the couch and enjoyed Mr. X's special breakfast while watching a soap opera, unable to concentrate on the TV.
The dark eyes of the boy in the dream lingered in her mind. Putting down the TV remote, Star Swirl decides to go for a walk.
On the street near the apartment, there were few people passing by, it was past the rush hour, and the weather was hot, so no one wanted to wander outside.
After making a big circle, she made her way downstairs to the psychiatric clinic, and Star Swirl couldn't deny that she had nowhere to go at the moment.
He was hesitating to go upstairs when he saw a familiar figure leave the door of the building. It was Bai Xiaohan, followed by a little boy behind her, keeping a distance not close to her.
Who is this kid? What did they come to Mr. X for? Star Swirl suddenly became curious, and trotted quickly to stop Bai Xiaohan: "Teacher Bai--! β
"Star Swirl," Bai Xiaohan was a little surprised, "Aren't you supposed to be at school at this time?" β
"The school was renovated, so I took a week off." Star Swirl replied with a smile, her gaze already sweeping over Bai Xiaohan and falling on the boy.
"That's pretty good, you're looking for X? He's upstairs. β
"Teacher Bai, this kid isβ" Star Swirl was stunned at the boy's dark eyes. The boy who appeared in the dream was standing alive in front of her at this moment.
Bai Xiaohan leaned down and put it in Star Swirl's ear and said, "Do you remember Han Yi's case?" He was the child who had been hidden in the apartment by his parents at the time. β
Star Swirl's eyes widened in surprise, "He's... Where did you find him?! β
"It's a long story, anyway, there are people besides the welfare home who want to adopt him now, and the situation is a bit complicated,"
Bai Xiaohan glanced at the boy, saw that his face was always calm, and continued to whisper: "This kid has some psychological problems, and I brought him to see X today just to make a diagnosis report and a follow-up treatment plan." β
Star Swirl nodded, "I hope he can get a proper arrangement, it's pitiful." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy turned his head to look at Star Swirl, and his eyes were full of banter, not at all like the eyes of a child of his age.
Star Swirl was a little hairy by his staring, and said with a smile, "Teacher Bai, I won't delay you in handling official business, I'll go upstairs first." β
Looking at the back of Star Swirl hurriedly walking into the building, Bai Xiaohan pressed his temples that were suddenly jumping, and suddenly heard a voice: "You actually hate her, don't you?" β
Bai Xiaohan turned to the boy abruptly and found that he was still standing there expressionless, and no one was passing by. So just now, who was talking?
---
Pushing open the door to the exam room, Star Swirl tiptoes inside, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up into a little devil-like smile.
At this time, Mr. X, who was facing the computer screen, didn't know what to watch intently, and completely ignored the "squirming" movement in the room.
"Meow!" Star Swirl jerks up from under her desk and scares the person in front of her in a gesture that scares the person in front of her.
However, the man who was as beautiful as the sculpture was as untouched as the sculpture. Star Swirl smiled wryly and asked, "What are you looking at?" So focused. β
"News."
"What's going on?" Star Swirl's little head snaps up, only to see that the screen is full of unreliable "headline parties".
"The woman spent a lot of money to buy a villa, and she dug up more than a dozen corpses in the basement."
"After half a month, the last train of No. 19 had another serious traffic accident! The bus company will make changes to the bus routes. β
"The five bodies that were stolen were mysteriously stolen from the morgue of Xin'an Hospital, and the whereabouts of the five bodies that were stolen are still unknown, and there are no suspicious persons in the surveillance."
"Peace of mindβ" Star Swirl remembered that Bailelyn had been there, could it be that the elves were still wantonly taking possession of human bodies?
"Came so early, something to say to me?" Mr. X finally glanced up at Star Swirl.
"It's nothing," Star Swirl asked, seemingly inadvertently picking up the glass on the coffee table, "Someone came to see you?" β
"It's a boy named Hao Rui, I remember you should have seen him in shared memories."
"Haorui?" Star Swirl was surprised, "The kids who are suspected of murdering their parents?" β
"Didn't you just meet you downstairs?"
Star Swirl was slightly stunned, her surprise and hesitation and the sudden outpouring of anger from the bottom of her heart flashed from her face, and she immediately regained her girlish reserve, "That's right, is this kid's mental problem serious?" β
"I've never seen him like this," Mr. X said, holding his chin in one hand, narrowing his eyes, "and the subconscious malicious speculation about everyone seems to be innate. β
