Chapter 8: Choices (Part II)
"Mao'er, what are you thinking?" Aya casually placed a stack of newspapers on my desk, "Where did you go last night?" ”
"Hidden dwelling." I looked down at the newspaper she had placed on my desk, the front page of which was the couple I had seen yesterday, and in addition to the bodies of two currently unidentified children and the bodies of an adult in another location.
If nothing else, the dead adult should be the real Liu Xia, I can still recall it clearly, I have to sigh the fragility of life, every day someone dies, not only the old man who is dying, but also the young man who is in the prime of life and the baby who has just landed can also die due to accident or disease, madness and death everywhere.
"What are you doing in the dark dwelling? Who took you to the vault? "Aya's reaction was beyond my expectations, I thought she would have a certain reaction, but I didn't expect it to be so strong.
"Medusa told me to go."
"Where did you see that crazy woman?"
"Antique shop."
"Who took you to the antique shop?"
"Liuxia."
"Who is Liuxia?"
"Summer Bird."
"Aragaki Hao, are you squeezing toothpaste with my mother here?" Aya didn't seem to have the patience to continue to ask me one by one, so I had to tell Aya the truth about what happened yesterday.
"I see." Aya pondered for a while, then nodded, "I didn't even notice it and Huan Liang." ”
"What?"
"Let's talk about it when Huan Liang comes back, Huan Liang took the child you brought back to the police station." Aya rubbed my head, "No matter what you face in the future, we will accompany you." ”
"Okay." As soon as I finished, Aya left, leaving me alone in the office...... I don't really know exactly what to do, and it's not an easy choice for me to make.
I can't explain how I'm feeling right now, as if everyone now sees me as the only savior who can handle this matter, whether the dead Liuxia is a human or a spirit, what Medusa's position is, and what Aya and the others are hiding from me, all of this makes me feel extremely painful.
Suddenly, I seemed to fall into a kind of auditory hallucination, my ears caught a subtle and strange sound, this sound was like the sound of fresh meat being roasted by a raging fire and bubbling out of grease, the sizzling sound kept surrounding my ears, tearing my auditory nerves inch by inch, I couldn't bear this unknown sound tormenting me, I looked left and right, trying to find out where the sound came from, and then I saw a strange change on the windowpane, I don't know when, I involuntarily walked forward, I heard their screams of pain as they struggled, they begged for mercy, but the hot soldering iron was still deeply imprinted on their faces, and the blood turned into steam and filled all corners of the room.
The perpetrator was not alone, one of them was wearing gloves and a long black cloak, he looked down at the child in his arms, I could not see his face, the baby was crying while the parents were struggling in pain, this man seemed to be a little tired of such a noisy environment, put his hand on the baby's mouth and nose, and gradually the baby stopped crying.
"Mr. Liu, it's worthless when you're dead."
"Hurry up and get your heart and blood, I'm just letting this kid go into shock for a while."
At this point in the film, the window gradually regained its transparency, but that feeling lingered in my heart for a long time, lingering, I thought that this was the end of the matter, but at this moment, I heard a gloomy and faint voice coming from somewhere, it seemed to be the voice of a six or seven-year-old girl, I listened attentively, and soon, the voice repeated what I had just said again, this time I heard it clearly, the voice came from outside the door, she said: "Aragaki sensei, please save us, we don't run around." Kids outside the door? I took two quick steps, grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door, and suddenly a cool air hit my face, and I couldn't help but shiver.
