Chapter 152: The Shining
"That day, my father came back drunk and tried to beat me and my mother out of anger. My mom and I were scared. ”
After crying, Charlize quietly recalled,
"Mom hugged me and pointed her shotgun at him, trying to keep him from coming. He didn't listen, and then"
"Gunshots?"
"Yes. ”
The expression on the girl's face is complicated, it can't be said that she is crying or laughing,
"We were all stunned. I didn't even realize that I was the first to touch the trigger and his abdomen was red with blood, and then my mom threw me away like crazy and shot him a second time. ”
"Second shot!?"
Now Charlotte really doesn't understand,
"Why is that?"
"I didn't understand it at the time. ”
Charlize seemed to want to cry again, she bit her lip before continuing,
"Later, when the police investigated, my mother never let me speak, and I realized that she was trying to protect me. ”
"Cover the old one with a new fingerprint on the trigger?"
Charlotte understood,
“...... Your mom really loves you!"
"yes!"
The girl smiled lonely,
"Unfortunately, she hasn't been very willing to talk to me since then. ”
After all, it was your first shot!
Charlotte can imagine Charlize's mother's mixed feelings when facing her. But he didn't mean to reveal the girl's scars,
"You told me before that you doubted that your father's affairs were influenced by ghosts, did you mean this?"
"yes!"
Charlize smiled bitterly,
"Self-deception, too, huh?"
"Not necessarily. ”
Charlotte didn't dare to say it to death, he was afraid that the girl wouldn't be able to stand the stimulation,
"However, it is difficult to trace the traces of ghosts and ghosts that happened a few years ago. Sally, I promised you to find a way for you, but"
Charlotte pondered the language for a moment before she said slowly,
"Even if I do find out the results later, it won't necessarily be good for you, after all, everything is irreparable. I think the best option for you right now is"
"Give up, right?"
Charlotte nodded.
"I want to give up and even forget about it completely!"
The girl clutches her head in pain,
"But you can't forget it!!!Do you remember the time I pointed a gun at you?"
"When we first met?"
"yes!"
Charlize also showed an expression of reminiscence,
"That gun was my mom used for my self-defense. I've never used it to target anyone before, and until that point, I didn't dare shoot. ”
"Is it because of your father?"
"Yes. When I tried to pull the trigger, I remembered that time, my whole hand was out of strength. ”
The girl raised her right hand in front of her, and her face was in a trance,
"At the time, I thought it was the first time I was nervous about using a gun at someone, but in the world of Happy Death, I realized that I didn't dare to pull the trigger anymore. ”
"I see. ”
Charlotte solved a doubt in her mind.
He looked at the blonde girl in front of him, and sighed in his heart.
There are so many psychological obstacles left by Sally's father!
Now, though, it's not Charlize that is the problem,
"Sally, your mother probably has a mental illness because of this!"
When this happens, it's strange that there is no psychological barrier left!
After all, as long as it is not indifferent or psychopathic by nature, killing people of the same kind will always have a great psychological impact. What's more, it was her husband who killed!
Charlotte felt that Charlize's mother was already nervous if she didn't go crazy on the spot, not to mention that she had to protect her daughter who inadvertently triggered the trigger......
"With so many things in my heart, it's easy to have problems mentally!"
"yes!"
Charlize nodded,
"After that incident, my mother and I left South Africa, first in Europe and then in the United States, but my mother's mental state was getting worse and worse......"
"I see. ”
Charlotte pressed the girl's hand and motioned for her to stop recalling in pain,
"You asked me to come this time, in fact, you want me to see if your mother's ghost is haunting you, right?"
The girl's face turned white all at once.
“...... Yes. ”
It took a long time for her to spit out an answer.
"It's a pity! Your father's ghost isn't here!"
Charlotte smiled wryly and vetoed the girl's expectations.
He wanted to tell Charlize that it was her father's ghost at work, which should make the girl feel better.
The problem is that this is not the case.
Even if he can make up a lie, Charlize's ultimate goal is actually to ask him to help restore his mother's sanity, which is not something that can be solved by deception......
He could only tell the truth.
And
"Sally, although there is indeed something unusual in this, but fundamentally, the problem between you and your mother is still a heart disease after all!"
Charlotte pressed Charlize on the shoulders with both hands and forced the girl to face her eyes,
"Just as I can't change the fact that he abused you and your mother even if I prove that your father's affairs are haunted by ghosts in the future, we can't put our own responsibility on the ghosts!"
"You"
The girl's face turned red all of a sudden, and she subconsciously waved her hand
"Smack!"
Looking at the slap he slapped in Charlotte's face, Charlize was stunned.
"Why didn't you block it this time?"
She remembered the night she confided in Charlotte, with tears in her voice.
"It's not fun this time!"
Charlotte smiled wryly,
"Wouldn't it make no sense to block it?"
As he spoke, he rubbed half of his face, which was slapped red by the girl, and by the way, he looked to the side to see that something was wrong, and the nursing staff who came over waved his hand, indicating that it was just a misunderstanding.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"You ......"
The girl didn't know how to describe the strange man in front of her for a while,
"As a lover, you're so clumsy that you can't even speak fancy!"
"Because you can't talk about this kind of thing!"
Charlotte smiled bitterly, but knew that the girl had listened to him, so he said,
"And, I have a few more things to be sure about your mother. ”
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Charlotte's solemn expression, Charlize also realized that he was down to business, and hurriedly wiped his eyes blurred by tears. Charlotte, on the other hand, continued:
"As I said just now, your mother's situation is actually very normal psychologically, but from the perspective of magic, there is indeed a similar situation of Soul Separation Disorder!"
"Soul Break!?"
This is actually another term for mental illness or sleepwalking, but, magically, soul separation refers to the condition in which part of the soul is separated from the body when a person has psychological problems. ”
"You mean"
Charlize thought for a moment,
"Is it like the last time I dealt with Painted Skin?"
During her first encounter with Painted Skin, Charlotte used a spell to temporarily detach Charlize's soul from her body. Charlize recalls how it felt.
"Something like that!"
Charlotte nodded,
"So, I have to make sure if your mother's soul is partially out of the body, and if so, it's really a matter that spells can handle. ”
