Tingling sensation.

Iona felt a myriad of tiny insects gnawing at her wrists, first pinching a small piece of flesh with her sharp mouthparts, and then desperately burrowing into the interior of her body, trying to settle down on the warmer and more nutritious flesh.

Iona opened her eyes.

She felt her arms awkwardly fixed behind her, the rough surface of the hemp rope rubbing against her wrists, causing a pinprick-like tingling pain.

She tries to open her eyes, but she can't see anything, and just like what happened to Rei, Sgate blindfolds her too.

"What the hell are you trying to do, you're breaking the law? The police won't forgive you. Iona said with a trembling voice.

The girl was now filled with fear, and she did not know what a tragic fate awaited her.

The truth was worse than she had imagined.

A gentle voice rang out:

'He's not here, Sgate has been gone for a while. ”

Iona was pleasantly surprised:

"Rei, is that you?"

Lei said apologetically:

"It's me, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have believed him, if I had called the police, maybe it wouldn't have happened to implicate you. ”

Iona asked:

"What happened?"

Lei explained the ins and outs:

"One day he suddenly appeared in front of my house and told me something he wanted to tell me.

"He gave me information about what happened to my parents, let me know that my parents' deaths were not accidental, but the result of other people's malice, and then he told me that he could help.

"Then he knocked me out and tied me up here. ”

Iona had always known that Rei's parents had died, and the girl didn't shy away from it.

Iona says:

"He told me you needed help, so I came here with him, but I don't understand, when I left with him, a lot of classmates around saw it, wasn't he afraid that the police would know?"

Rei went on to apologize:

"I'm sorry to make you ...... too"

Iona interrupted:

"No, it's all Skidd's fault, I don't know what he's trying to do, but it's not difficult for him to call me anywhere, it's just that I don't understand why he did such a thing, he doesn't lack money, he's handsome, and his family is also a declining aristocracy, why did he kidnap us. ”

Lei is also full of doubts about this:

"I don't understand, I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have a grudge against anyone. ”

Iona said:

"And you said that he told you the truth about your parents' death before, if he wanted to harm you, why do you want to do more, does this act have any special meaning for him?"

lei says:

"Maybe he's a madman? a murderous maniac with a quirk who wants to destroy my sanity somehow and then enjoy my ugliness?"

Iona says:

"But he didn't do anything to me, I really can't figure out what the hell is going on?"

The two were silent together for a moment.

Iona asked:

"Are you scared?"

Rei didn't answer right away.

All that remained was the sound of the two of them breathing.

It was a long time before Iona heard a calm voice:

"Am I afraid? Of course I don't want to die, and I should, but I'm not that afraid, maybe because I'm ready for the day.

"I watched my young father disappear and my tired mother finally rest in peace, maybe from that time, I was ready to die, I never had any friends and I didn't fall in love with anyone, so I was able to die easily.

"But even though I'm not afraid of death, I still have an emotion that keeps beating in my chest and wants to rush out. ”

"What?" asked Iona.

There is some kind of power in Rei's words:

"Worried, I'm worried about you, you're not as carefree as I am, you don't deserve to die here. ”

Iona interrupted again:

"You shouldn't either!"

Layman paused for a moment, then said mildly:

"Yes, but I'm more worried about you, and not only you, but my best and only friend, Kelly, if we both survive today, then maybe you'll be my second friend. ”

Although neither of them could see it, Iona smiled at the moment:

"Of course, we're going to be friends, and I'm worried about Kelly because Sgate he's courting Kelly, and he's on good terms with Kelly, and I can't imagine what he's going to do to Kelly. ”

Lei asked in surprise:

"He's Kelly's suitor?"

Iona replied:

"Yes, it's been more than a year, and he's been persevering, I don't know what drives him, but now it seems that it's probably because of some dark thought. ”

Lei suddenly asked:

"Iona, are you afraid?"

About ten seconds passed.

Iona replied in a somewhat trembling voice:

"I was scared. ”

Iona finally couldn't hide her fear.

"I don't want to die yet, I, I really don't want to die here, I still want to buy a big estate for my parents in the future, take care of the flower garden together, I still want to fall in love with someone, go to Situmu to see the sea together, I still want to be able to drink coffee with my friends when I am old, and talk about all kinds of gossip together.

"I don't want to die. ”

Rei comforted:

"I'm here, and I'll always be with you. ”

She didn't promise Iona that she would be safe, because she knew she couldn't give Iona such a promise.

No one can promise life. Especially when she can't even control her own life and death.

Squeak, squeak.

The door was gently pushed open.

Both of them involuntarily held their breath.

"I'm sorry to do this to you, ladies, and I want you to assure you that this pain won't be too long. ”

Sgate's voice was very sincere, but the two of them did not relax in any way because of this.

They heard the sound of metal scraping against the fur.

"I don't really want to hurt you, but who knew that a mad demon would like to eat a girl's heart and brain?"

Iona felt the hairs on her body stand upside down.

Brain and heart.

The sound of metal knives rubbing against each other sounded.

"I'm not really an evil person, so for me, only actions that are in my own interests are the best, and I won't be like some idiots who are controlled by emotions, because they are going to do a very dangerous thing, and they have to take two of them to bury me in advance.

"So you don't have to worry and suspect that I will kill you right away, because if I succeed, I still want you to be 'fresh', and if I die, I don't care if you live or die, I am not the kind of coward who is afraid of death. ”
