Chapter 195: His Truth
Speaking of that past, Clemens still couldn't contain his emotions, and his fists couldn't help but tremble.
I hurried to open the door, and I saw the girl, leaning against my door, dying. It only took me a glance to know that they were venting their anger on their daughter, making her run to my door for help. And...... It's still like that. I feel angry! The idea of helping her came to me, so I grabbed the knife and went into the next room. ”
"But, when I think about it, I regret it, because my impulsive decision was the beginning of all tragedy......"
What will happen next, you can basically guess, and this may be the origin of the ogre.
However, Xiao Yi didn't think about this aspect at all, he cared about other things.
Clemens was about to continue, but Xiao Yi suddenly remembered something, and he interrupted:
"Huh? Wait, you mean...... Help me? ”
Clemens's description gave Shaw a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had experienced it before, similar to a sense of déjà vu.
"Well, what's the problem?" Clemens asked.
"This ......" Xiao couldn't help but start recalling the scene of that night.
Suddenly, the vague impression in Xiao Yi's mind became clear, as the reality in front of him suddenly changed.
Xiao Yi and Clemens used to be standing in the clean kitchen, but now, they were standing in a long, dark corridor next to the door, and the light in the distant room was obviously bright, but it was so gray and weird.
"This is it!" Xiao Yi then remembered, wasn't this what he encountered on the first night? Xiao Yi immediately asked: "Is the one you are talking about the same as the situation we are in now?" ”
“…… Huh? Clemens froze.
Everything in front of him was exactly the same as the scene in his memory!
The memory that he wanted to bury once again pricked Clemens's nerves, and he felt his brain converging.
That's when ......
Knock, knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door, and then, with the faint cry for help that accompanied the knock.
“…… Help me. ”
"Ah...... Ah......h
"What's wrong? This is...... What's going on? It was also the first time Xiao had seen Clemens look so scared.
Moreover, Xiao Yi didn't understand why the scene he had encountered was staged in front of his eyes again.
It's like a well-arranged play.
It's just that, unlike the last time, this time Clemens saw the same scene as himself.
Moreover, Clemens's reaction was very strange, as if it were ......
The audience in the live broadcast room was also confused and couldn't figure out what was going on, and at this time, Xiao Yi's words made everyone stunned!
Xiao also asked, "Clay, is this ...... Do you remember any scenes you've experienced? ”
Only then did most people understand the status quo and exclaim on the spot! Broken! Their IQ seems to have been really crushed by Xiao Yi!
"I ...... I ......" And Clemens, who was just holding his head at the moment, did not respond to Xiao Yi.
Knock, knock!
The knock on the door became more and more rapid and piercing!
Then they saw something at the end of the long, dark corridor.
That's what they're all too familiar with...... Corpse.
Knock, knock!
The knocking continued.
Her back was to the light-filled room, but her face was dipped in darkness, but a bright red lip was clearly visible like a watermelon being cut open.
“…… That's not right. ”
She didn't ask for help, but said so, and slowly took a step towards the two of them.
"Ah...... Ahhh No...... Forgive me! Clemens' reaction suddenly became agitated.
“…… What the hell is going on? Xiao Yi looked at this scene and was completely confused.
At this time, Xiao Yi suddenly remembered something.
After experiencing that incident that night, Xiao Yi had an extra page in his hand.
Because of reading it many times, Xiao Yibao memorized the above content, and its content is:
My life is always dark, so I never expect to see the sun. I will help others just because I still want to live, so I also know very well that others help me only because others still want to live. 】
Xiao Yi seemed to think of something, he looked at Clemens, and asked:
"Clemens, ...... Did you really want to help the girl, so you went to open the door? ”
“……”
Because of these words, Clemens suddenly fell silent.
"You said you didn't want to hide your secrets from me anymore, but you still have something to hide after all." Xiao Yi stared at him, "What is the real situation, are you willing to tell it?" ”
"I ......" Looking at Xiao Yi, Clemens seemed to have finally calmed down, "I'm sorry, I'm really stupid, how can I solve the problem if I don't raise it?" ”
In Clemens's heart, courage finally mustered up.
"Coming here, encountering these things, must be the judgment of fate on me. Therefore, I can no longer hide anything, thank you, Xiao Yi, thanks to you, I can realize this. ”
Then, he glanced at the tightly closed door next to him, then at the approaching corpse, and slowly said the true side of his heart.
"I ...... Actually, I'm not a good person, I know better than anyone else, so when I hear her cry for help, I don't want to save her. ”
The corpse stopped suddenly, as if listening to Clemens.
"Growing up, everyone praised me for being kind and a good person. But I'm not actually kind, I just want people to praise me for being kind, so I deliberately pretend to be kind. I am an orphan with no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason, and I am supported by every family in the village, and if I don't pretend to be likable, I will definitely starve to death, so I can only protect myself with kindness. ”
"I was actually very scared of that family, afraid that they would hurt me, so I endured it all the time. But their daughter, that girl, was very fond of me, and always came to me, and I had to respond with kindness. I hate her so much! Because by doing so, she will undoubtedly put me in a situation where I will confront her parents! ”
"The people who lived there hated the couple, but they all felt pity for their daughter. Therefore, they always took good care of me and kept telling me that I must take good care of the girl and protect her. ”
"In my heart, I scolded them over and over again for gossiping but never really helping the kid, if they were willing to help, there wouldn't be so many things, it would have been solved a long time ago, it was just a trouble. I also know what they think, if someone has to help, then why has to be me? So everybody wanted to put someone out to solve it, and I was the unlucky one. ”
"But no matter how clear I am, I can only smile and agree on the surface, because it is because of their help that my life in other places can be so stable."
"Naturally, the girl got closer and closer to me, and sure enough, she came to me for help. I didn't want to respond to her, so I pretended to be asleep and didn't hear it, all I thought was to go quickly, I couldn't hear, go find someone else, why did you come to me? But then her parents chased her out and continued to beat her, and I was terrified by the heart-rending cry. ”
"It's not that I'm afraid of what the kid will do, but that if there is such a big movement, everyone else will definitely hear it, and if I pretend not to hear it at this time, I will definitely be suspicious, and I am afraid that the kindness I have carefully constructed will collapse. So, I rushed out the door with a knife in my fear, and threatened the couple not to beat and scold the child anymore, and told the child that they don't have to listen to such parents anymore, they don't love you. ”
"I'm also very much praised for it, and that's very satisfying. At the same time, when that child looked at me, those eyes full of hope are still unforgettable. She would not have thought that this person who saved herself was actually a hypocrite who only acted for his own selfish interests. ”
Clemens choked up a moment before continuing: "Then, what I didn't expect was that my hypocrisy completely ruined that child. ”
"After that, I was afraid of confronting the family again, so I stayed outside during the day and sneaked home late at night to avoid them. However, I lived next door to them, and the walls were so thin that I couldn't avoid their voices, so I could only reduce the movement and try to pretend that I was not there or asleep. ”
But their voices were inevitably heard by me. After that, they beat and scolded the kid even harder, and the reason was me. Because I provoked them, they vented their anger against me on the child. ”
"It's all my fault that made her more miserable, but I actually knew about her situation all along, but instead of helping her as before, I chose to be silent and turn a blind eye, which led to her tragedy."
Clemens looked at the corpse and said slowly, "This is my sin, a sin that has not been spoken of in court. I have finished my case, and if you want to judge me, please begin. ”
"......" and the corpse didn't say anything, and just disappeared.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi nodded slowly, but he still didn't understand something, so he asked, "But, what about the ogre?" ”
"That was for later." Clemens pushed the door open, and there was an unfamiliar hallway outside the door, "It's the same as I remember, and sure enough, the outside has changed, so...... Xiao Yi, come on, the truth is in this room next door. ”
Clemens spoke, coming to the door of the next room, where there was the truth about why he became an ogre.
