Chapter 7: The Choice I

What I had seen came to an abrupt halt at this moment, and the lights in the room suddenly came on, and I couldn't fully adapt to the intense light that I had just been in the dark, so I could only block my eyes with my eyes.

After I was fully accustomed to the bright light, I looked around carefully, and there was no one around, it was really just a room, except for the weird-looking baby pictorials, there was not even any decoration in the room, it was empty and desolate.

I lifted the quilt, pulled on my slippers and walked out, where the veiled woman sat on the sofa with a baby in her arms, looking loving.

She didn't seem to realize that I was awake, and she was still patiently coaxing the baby in her arms.

"Can I go...... Beautiful lady? I asked her first, and she smiled, then looked back at me slightly.

"What an interesting boy, I thought you would ask me where this is, why are you here?"

"Ah...... This kind of thing is so boring, I just want to go home now. ”

"You're not going to save those kids?" She looked at me with some bewilderment.

"It has nothing to do with me," I turned to leave, I always believed that the world had nothing to do with me, and that the previous investigation was more like a teacher's vocation to me, but now this matter is completely beyond my ability.

She took off her veil, and a pair of golden snake eyes appeared in front of my eyes, and her expression gradually sank, and then I realized that the skin on her face was not as moist as it had been yesterday, rough and dry, and full of fine lines, which made her age more than ten years old.

"How could it be you? You're not ......," I interrupted before I could say anything, "you killed your father with your own hands, so that the spirits of the world could not be restrained, and all that you saw was real. ”

The fear in the dream spread to reality, and complete helplessness rose in my heart, and it was like being stuck in a quagmire, and the more I struggled, the deeper I sank, but if I didn't struggle, I would only be left with a suffocating death...... Closing my eyes, I began to question myself...... Did I really kill my father?

settled down, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "I won't believe everything you show me, because since I was a child, what I can't trust the most is myself." ”

"So cautious." She threw the child to me and smiled, I can't tell you the expression on her face, mixed with surprise, doubt, and seemed to hide a distant tenderness.

"If you want to know the truth of everything, then come here to me, this child is rescued by us with all our efforts, return her to her parents."

"I ......"

"Go back, you have a lot of doubts and ask Aya and Huanliang, and they will naturally answer them for you."

It was already nine o'clock in the morning when I got home, I arrived at the office on time, after the fright just now, I was completely sleepy, I simply sat down and stared at the file on the desk in a daze, the young teacher in the school brought me a cup of fragrant coffee, and I felt full of energy after a few sips.

The file bag contains information about the missing child, and it has been far beyond the 24-hour limit since the child disappeared, and now it can be proven that it was not human, but I still can't make up my mind to take care of it, I don't have a good skill, and I don't want to lose my loved ones again.

But the moment he left Medusa, looking at the child in his arms...... All I could think of was the children wrapped in white cloth.

I don't know what I'm supposed to choose, I don't want to be a self-sacrificing hero, but I can't just let those children be treated like a craft to satisfy the terrible desires of humanity.
