Chapter 505: Behind Him (8)
Old John helped Susan leave the church. He glanced behind him involuntarily and saw Diane suddenly nervously following a man who looked so simple that he couldn’t remember his name. As the divine attendant left, some doubts could not help but arise in his heart.
"Ah, old man, you pinched me so much." Susan yelled softly, interrupting his thoughts.
Only then did Old John realize that he had inadvertently grabbed her hand, and quickly let go, with a somewhat apologetic tone: "Are you okay?"
"Why didn't you come to me just now? "Isn't it about playing hide and seek?" Susan suddenly asked.
Old John was speechless for a moment when he was asked, and casually hesitated: "I...didn't I find you?"
"No, you didn't find me...At first, you didn't see me at all... ..."
Susan was talking nonchalantly, and the order of the words began to be messy. Old John listened expressionlessly, then put her into the car outside the church and fastened her seat belt.
Frank Lindell, who was in the car next to him, passed by with his daughter and joked with a smile: "Mayor, you are such a patient and good man."
Old John forced a smile. , then closed the car door with a bang, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away.
Frank watched from behind, looking envious.
He doesn’t have a car yet.
He has always wanted to pick up an abandoned car and repair it, but unfortunately he did not have the ability to leave the town. The car brought back by the out-going exploration team would not be his turn for a while.
So he could only take his daughter Claire and walk home in the wind and snow.
"Claire, are you cold?" Frank asked nervously when he saw the corner of his daughter's lips curled up.
Ling Yuke shook her head and just said with disdain: "You are so confused. What kind of a good man is that? Didn't you see that there are lipstick marks on his collar?"
"Lipstick marks?" Frank He was stunned for a moment and didn't react yet.
"Dad, who in this damn place can afford lipstick?" Ling Yuke said.
In fact, for this lipstick mark, Ling Yuke just reversed time and space and looked back to see who it was - because the old lady Susan obviously had no chance to use lipstick.
Sure enough, when I looked back, I saw Old John and the Divine Attendant coming out from behind, their clothes and hair all messy.
"Wait, what did you call me?"
Ling Yuke then realized that he had said it smoothly, and forgot about it, and quickly explained: "Oh, I was reading recently... that book, it seems to be from somewhere else Come here, everyone inside calls her father like this."
Frank felt that his daughter was weird, but the thought only passed by for a moment, and his mind quickly turned back to the market he was about to pass, thinking about it. What to buy.
He is the only old widower in the family to take care of the children. It is not easy to go out to work, wash and cook at the same time.
At this time, I missed the lady who died in the hands of the monster very much.
Hey, what kind of lady?
Not a wife?
This thought flashed through Frank's mind and then was quickly forgotten.
Purchasing food is more important.
……
Liu Sheng sat in the car, feeling the car start slowly, without saying a word.
The other girls were left in the church to prepare for the next priest training, but she was the only one who was let home.
The results speak for themselves.
My mother sighed while my father cursed in a low voice.
“What a waste of time!”
"I knew you were a waste!"
"Sure enough, I shouldn't have expected anything from you, a waste, I should have left you alone at that time!"
Liu Sheng suddenly said coldly : "You didn't leave me behind, wasn't it just for this day?"
These sudden words made the air in the car freeze instantly, and the parents were stunned.
“At that time, you should have joined the church, right?”
Liu Sheng continued, ignoring his mother's increasing silence and his father's face beginning to twist.
“You already know that you don’t know when you will need me, right?”
“You also know what will happen in the dungeon. From the beginning... you just want me to die. "Yes, right?"
"What compensation will the church give you?"
Her words were like cold knives, stabbing into the two of them. The heart also split open the face of my father who pretended to be calm and composed in front of outsiders. "Presumptuous, really presumptuous!"
My father roared, slapped the steering wheel angrily, and slammed on the brakes.
There was a "crunching" sound from under the wheel, as if something had been run over.
Liu Sheng looked and found that it was the familiar forest again.
This location...
It's not hard to guess what's underneath the wheels.
"You, get out of the car!" His father ordered through gritted teeth, staring at Liu Sheng fiercely, with anger burning in his eyes.
Look carefully, his eyes are filled with strange and colorful colors, like tiny squirming soap bubbles.
Liu Sheng looked at it thoughtfully, then resolutely opened the car door and walked into the wind and snow.
The mother was still holding her daughter's coat in her hand. Looking at her thin back, she seemed to be hesitating whether to get out of the car and send her over.
But the husband snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry about her! She doesn't know what's good! We work hard to take care of her, but we are ungrateful! Who has such good conditions as ours, can she eat well and live well in the cold night? She Not satisfied yet!”
The mother lowered her head and grabbed her coat, biting her lip, not daring to say anything, and was given a cold glance by her husband.
"If you can't bear it, get out of the car too!"
The mother did not move in the end, and the car started slowly again and drove into the wind and snow.
But none of them noticed that the feeling of a foreign body under the wheel disappeared.
A mass of blood and flesh had quietly climbed up behind the car, clinging to the back of the car. As the car drove on, blood clots continued to fall off, but it never let go.
Liu Sheng was in the woods, watching the car go away. Of course, he also saw the thing on the back of the car. He smiled softly and didn't care.
This is their own sin, and she has nothing to do with it.
Looking up, I saw bright fireworks exploding in the dark snowy night, lighting up the entire night sky.
Liu Sheng smiled slightly and walked towards the place where the fireworks were blooming.
...
"Why are there fireworks?" Bowen looked up at the night sky and murmured in surprise.
Fireworks cut through the night, making a sharp whistling sound, and then colorful lights bloomed in the sky.
Dazzling sparks sprinkled across the earth like shooting stars, lighting up the cold snowy night.
The white snow is colorfully reflected by the fireworks, and the crystal snowflakes flash in the light, like a gorgeous dream between heaven and earth.
Many residents in the town stopped what they were doing and looked up out of the window, while those still walking on the street, like Bowen and David, stopped and looked up.
“I haven’t seen fireworks for how many years! Is this because of today’s miracle!” David was very excited, his face shining under the reflection of the fireworks.
Bowen is not so optimistic, always feeling that something is happening.
Perhaps, there is something wrong with this small town itself.
There is something wrong with me too.
Bowen looked at the face posted on the glass in the house on the roadside. He was frightened and walked a few steps faster.
"What's wrong?" David caught up and said strangely.
"Actually, don't you think this town is weird? Or... this world is not normal at all!" Bowen said in a low voice, looking at the half-cut body in the snowdrift on the roadside.
David did not answer.
Bowen felt a little strange when he heard the silence behind him, and turned around to look.
But he saw David with his head lowered and standing still without moving.
The fireworks flickered brightly and dimly, illuminating his figure.
Bowen stood still, pursed his lips and said nothing, his chest felt tight.
I heard a cold voice coming from the shadow under David's lowered head: "Why did you say it?"
Then, he slowly raised his head...
