Chapter 19: The Bewitching Maiden
The little girl narrowed her eyes, indulged in her own phenomenon, leaning on an umbrella.
The puppet gently slapped the trunk of the tree, some kind of eerie melody.
If, I mean if.
How about making yourself an urban legend?
She hummed softly and stood on one foot, supporting her weight in her body.
Then he slowly turned up, and the umbrella also rotated, in Chen Luxia's field of vision.
The image of the dancing umbrella and the bewitching flower under the tree overlaps.
Like that bouquet of flowers, it grows on top of some kind of nourishment, and the roots are tightly wrapped around the nourishment, whether it is blood or carrion.
In horror movies, treacherous music can break down people's psychological defenses.
Ning Xiuyuan hummed softly.
“Lizzie Borden took an axe,
(Lizzie Bourdain picks up the axe,
and gave her mother forty whacks.
(Forty times to his mother;
When she saw what she had done,
(When she realizes her actions,
she gave her father forty-one.
(Forty-one more cuts to my father.)
……”
Take a deep breath, there's a turnaround, there's a turnaround.
Tell yourself so.
Chen Luxia pulled her face and showed a smiling expression, she felt that her face was about to cramp.
Lizzie Bourdain, the name she has an impression.
He was a character in the 1892 murder case in California. Lizzie Bourdain's biological father was found hacked to death with an axe inside the house, and Liz's stepmother was later found hacked to death with an axe on the second floor.
The two victims were slashed more than 80 times like the nursery rhyme, but in total, they were also slashed 29 times
How do you relate this to the present?
Soaring adrenaline.
When you encounter something that suddenly appears, your body will burst with accumulated energy, whether it is to fight or flee, which is the instinct left over from your ancestors in ancient times.
All she has to do is to refrain from restraint, calm down and calm down.
Some of the weirdos are ghoul-like otherworldly creatures.
Some of the weird stories are, as their name suggests, "monster talk", the product of some peculiar phenomenon.
For example, it's the same as a rift girl.
The Rift Girl is also a strange story.
She would ask people passing by, "Am I pretty?" ”
If she answers "pretty", she takes off her mask and asks again: "...... What about ......? ”
If he replied, "Not pretty," she would kill the child with a sickle or scissors.
If the answer is beautiful, the child's mouth will be cut open so that he is as beautiful as himself.
Such a strange story will have a certain logic, just like a robot that has been programmed.
Just like the Rip Girl, you may get away with answering "ordinary", or you can try to answer irrelevant questions.
So......
So.
Calm is the best way to deal with it, once you relax a little bit, then the defense line will completely collapse.
There are two corpses lying on the ground, judging by the axe next to them, that is, these are "Daddy", "Mommy".
In the nursery rhyme, "Mom" takes forty beatings, and "Dad" takes forty beatings.
Then, it asked me to cut it forty times, "Mom", what else? Hurry up and think about it, Chen Luxia.
And then it slashed me forty-once, "Daddy", and the puppet over there, what the puppet was doing there.
Does it symbolize the bystander, or does the doll symbolize the nursery rhyme "Lizzie Bourdain?" ”
"Huh?"
The girl took a step forward and leaned her face near Chen Luxia, her blood-red eyes suddenly enlarged.
Chen Luxia took a step back, and the pain during the pounding cardiac arrest was quite bad.
When the wind blows, it sends chills down the spine.
It's not heartbeat.
She smelled the girl's body, like a bessailing poppy, but with a ......
- The smell of corpses?
All in all, the smell is impressive.
Someone can look at a picture and smell it when they see it, and someone can smell it and it will come to mind.
- Synaesthesia.
Chen Luxia is now in a state of synaesthesia, she feels like a seed buried in the ground, surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything clearly.
Then, she felt like she was about to sprout, as if she was about to come out of something.
Thereupon......
- She was sprouted.
The seed came out of her body, absorbing the nutrients from her body, and she turned out to be a corpse buried in the ground.
Maybe it's not a corpse, because she still has five senses.
She saw the rain and heard the faint sound of seeds coming out of the ground.
Seeds sprouted from her body, and the roots wrapped tightly around her body, clenched like a hand.
She also heard the roar of her own body.
And then.
The girl standing in front of her didn't move, and took a step back, "Please pick up the axe." ”
She smiled and held her umbrella.
Chen Luxia actually has no synaesthesia, Ning Xiuyuan uses [Human Skin Mask]:
When you wear it, you can become anyone in other people's feelings. 】
In Ning Xiuyuan's subjectivity, that kind of child, that body, and that picture are just "people", and he just distorts his subjective judgment.
It's the same as Joker's Hat.
[There is a small space inside, reach out and put it, and you can store the "corpse".] 】
What is the definition of a corpse?
The definition refers to the body left behind by a person or animal after death.
In the eyes of different people, the definition is different.
I think you're a corpse, then you're a corpse.
Then, in Ning Xiuyuan's subjectivity, the picture can be a "corpse", a book can be a "corpse", and even a living person can also be a "corpse".
Maybe if this continues, Ning Xiuyuan's cognition will also be completely distorted.
Perhaps, this is what [the stage] wants to see.
The synaesthesia picture made Chen Luxia even more sure that there were possible "nutrients" under that bouquet of bewitching flowers.
Then I thought of the girl in front of me, who looked very good at fighting, so ......
Could it be that there are "nutrients" buried underneath like flowers?
"Pick up the axe."
The girl repeated it again, blood gushing from the tip of the umbrella, and then left along the surface of the umbrella, and the puppet shook its head.
What touch brushed from her neck.
Chen Luxia took a step back, and then took the handle of the axe, and there was still undried blood on the blade of the axe.
Grip the point, grip the point, grip the point, hold the point, grip the point......
"Come on."
The girl put the umbrella away and stretched out her pale neck.
Fear......
You are holding a sharp weapon, and in front of you is a young girl who has no power to restrain a chicken, sticking out her neck.
She's just a child. Chen Luxia emphasized so in her heart.
She told herself:
I am afraid of the disgust I feel after killing, I am afraid of the guilt after killing, and I am afraid of the investigation after killing.
The girl shook her head softly, as if to tell her.
No......
You're not afraid of this, you're afraid of treacherous existence, you're afraid that you'll fall into a trap......
- Maybe after she was cut down, and then it was her killing rules.
You're just scared, scared you're going to die.
Strange tales are the existence of extraordinary things, some of which may be completely different from human beings, and some of which are born out of rumors.
"You're scared of me."
The girl said affirmatively.
