"Everything about you will return to its original track."
…
As if being pulled by something, Caroline felt as if there was a strange suction force in her body, sucking 'her' from the outside into the body.
She woke up all of a sudden, but she found that she was not in the corridor of the Education Building. It was dim here, and there was the sound of the projector playing. She had been here before.
This was the screening room in the school that 403 brought her to. Caroline began to check her body. There was no injury.
But she clearly remembered what happened before she fainted. Did everything return to its original track?
"Are you awake?" The door of the screening room opened, and the person who walked in was the 403 that Caroline knew.
At this time, 403 didn't wear the cheap human skin hood. The appearance of bandages still made Caroline feel a chill no matter how many times she saw it.
"I … Why am I here?" Caroline asked subconsciously.
403 said, "You fainted in the corridor, so I moved you to this place."
Corridor … Caroline closed her eyes and shook her head hard. The scene of the entire floor being destroyed was vivid in her mind, "Corridor … What happened to that floor?"
"What do you mean what happened?" 403 looked at Caroline curiously, "Nothing. I just moved you back. By the way, I also moved them back."
"They …" Caroline was startled. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something. She quickly walked to the window of the projector and looked outside.
On the stage below, a huge cage was placed there. In the cage, there were a few people … Arnold, Haley, and Postie.
They seemed to have fainted.
Caroline suddenly looked back at 403. She didn't know what he wanted to do next, but she felt that his gaze was not human at all.
"You … You want to kill them?" Caroline looked at 403 and asked.
403 shook his head, "I just want them to feel fear and despair, and something more painful than death."
At this time, 403 reached out and brushed past Caroline's cheek. This action and some words startled Caroline, but she saw that 403 didn't want to grab her. He just wanted to open the button on the wall behind her — the button for the lights on the stage below.
Pa, pa.
The lights were turned on one by one, and the spotlights began to converge on the huge cage on the stage, shining on Arnold and the other two.
At this time, 403 moved the projector over, then took a plate and put it into the projector. He started it up, and the old-fashioned projector began to turn slowly. One by one, the films moved under Caroline's eyes.
Caroline began to hear some sounds … She looked at the stage curtain.
The yellowed picture quality seemed to be quite old … It looked like a documentary.
A woman was holding a child … the child was about five or six years old. The woman's face was full of smiles as she looked at the camera. She held the child's hand and waved it at the camera.
When Caroline saw the house in the background, she felt a little familiar. Then she suddenly remembered that this was the house she had followed Arnaud to in the beginning … the old house where Arnaud was born and grew up.
"Hey, Haley, look at the camera. Look at Daddy." The woman loved the child so much that she kissed him on the cheek. "Little Haili, say hello to your brother."
Caroline realized that this film should be a family-oriented documentary, and the person holding the camera was probably the woman's husband.
The camera began to turn, and another child entered the camera. The two children looked almost the same, almost indistinguishable except for their clothes.
"This is them … when they were young!" Caroline subconsciously looked at 403.
403 was watching the film at this time, saying indifferently, "Look at them, so small, just like angels, don't you think so?"
At this time, Little Haley, who was being held by the woman, suddenly turned his face and kissed the woman's cheek, making her laugh happily.
"Look at you, Haili. You're just like a little gentleman. You're so obedient. Mommy really likes you. This is my son. Of course, my little Arnaud is also very good! I'm satisfied with the two of you! "
The documentary was still playing, followed by some family games. Even an outsider like Caroline could feel the warmth of this family.
She suddenly remembered her childhood … before her father was killed by a stray bullet in a gang fight, the family of three seemed to be like this.
"You … why are you showing me this?" Caroline frowned.
"No, no, no, I'm not showing it to you." 403 shook his head, then pointed at the cage on the stage, "It's for them. I'm just adjusting the picture, so that it can have the best angle. "
"You … why do you have these things?" Caroline asked subconsciously.
"It's easy to find these things, right?" 403 said indifferently, "It depends on whether you have the heart to find it, whether you want to find it, and whether you want to do it."
403 began to rewind at this time, then slowly said, "My original plan was not like this, but something seems to have happened. This Haley actually came out early, so I didn't have time to show him some things … But, it doesn't matter. Because, maybe it's better to see these things … Of course, my mood will be a lot worse. But compared to the next … it doesn't seem to be important. Because I can't control myself, this is not a good thing. "
With that, 403 suddenly pushed the button of the sound system, making the sound equipment around the stage become extremely harsh. Caroline had to directly cover her ears.
At the same time, affected by the harsh sound, Arnaud and the other two in the cage slowly woke up.
Boston was the first to wake up. When he found that he was locked in the cage, he quickly stood up and subconsciously reached for his waist — but when he found that his pistol was gone, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who!! Who is here! Who is it!! "Boston grabbed the iron bars of the cage and roared angrily.
"Stop arguing! I have a headache! " At this moment, A'Nuo patted his head and stood up with the help of his own hands. He began to look around the surroundings.
Haley sat up, his eyes dull, but he kept looking at the cage where he was trapped. No one knew what he was thinking — At this time, from the projection room above the seat, a light suddenly shone.
The light and shadow penetrated Arnaud's body and then projected on the curtain behind him … A voice came with it.
— "Hey, Little Haley, look at the camera, look at Daddy."
Hearing this voice, Arnaud opened his eyes and quickly turned around.
— "Little Haley, say hello to your brother."
On the curtain, the young Haley waved his hand at this time, and his eyes seemed to be infinitely enlarged … Because of the clumsy shooting technique, the child's face was all that was on the screen.
A'Nuo suddenly fell backward, his body bumping into the cage. His breathing quickened … He subconsciously averted his gaze … and subconsciously looked at Haley, who was also looking up at the movie on the screen.
At this time, Haley also slowly turned his head and looked at Arnaud.
The eyes of the two brothers suddenly met, and Arnaud suddenly wanted to take a step to the side.
"Let me out!!!!"
At this moment, Haley suddenly sprung up and reached for Arnaud's neck with both hands, roaring like a beast. He even opened his mouth and bit Arnaud's ear.
Ah —!!!
Arnaud let out a shrill cry, and his left ear was bitten off by Haley. He fell to the ground in pain — Haley's mouth was full of blood, and the fresh ear was still in his mouth, looking like a terrifying devil.
"This … monster!" Seeing this scene, Boston turned pale with fright.
At this moment, Haley suddenly stared at Boston. Under great fear, Boston's ruthless personality was instantly provoked, and he suddenly flew towards Haley. "Freak! Go to hell! "
"Don't call me a monster!!!!!"
A normal person, even a normal person with anger and fear, would not be able to fight against a crazy person. At this moment, Haley's face was stained with blood, as if he didn't know pain and had strength beyond ordinary people.
Poston used his well-trained fists to hit Haley's face again and again. He almost broke Haley's nose and blew up his lips, but he was unable to hit Haley.
Haley suddenly seized an opportunity and directly bit Boston's throat … Puchi, the artery on his neck was bitten, and a terrifying amount of blood suddenly splashed out.
Ah …
Caroline couldn't watch this bloody scene anymore, and her body trembled with fright … She looked at 403's appearance in horror, but she saw the joy in 403's eyes that couldn't be concealed.
He … He had taken out a bag of beef from somewhere and was eating it with relish. Caroline looked at him and even smiled, "Oh, do you want to eat some?"
Smelling the beef, Caroline suddenly had a feeling of nausea … She quietly leaned against the wall, trying to walk toward the door of the screening room.
"The stage play hasn't ended yet. Are you leaving?" 403 didn't look back at this time, "Finish watching it. I said that after this matter is over, I will prove your innocence … Don't give me a reason to treat you badly."
Caroline nodded nervously and stopped her footsteps.
But she didn't dare to look at what happened on the stage … She could only hear Haley's voice clearly, and maybe Arnold's voice … Boston, Boston might be dead.
In that case, Caroline didn't think Boston could survive.
"You … why don't you appear in front of them?" Caroline suddenly asked. This was a question she couldn't understand — she didn't understand why she asked such a question.
"Fear comes from the unknown." 403 said indifferently, "Don't let them know why they are trapped in the cage, don't let them know who is behind this. The unknown … will make Arnold lose his pride. When everything is out of his control, he will become helpless, even ignorant, and the abyss of fear will swallow him. "
"You … seem to know him very well." Caroline looked at 403, and there was a name in her heart that she wanted to blurt out: Lucas.
But she didn't say this name … She didn't try to provoke the other party, nor did she try to explore the other party's origin. It was almost the most important principle for a prostitute to survive.
"Who are you!!!!! Let go!! Let go!!! You freak!! Let go!! I let you out!! Let go!! Ah —!!! Monster!! You freak!!! Let … let me go … let me go … let … "
It was Arnold's roar. There was unconcealable fear in his anger. Even though she was so far away and couldn't see his appearance at this time, every cell in Caroline's body seemed to be able to feel the fear that belonged to Arnold at this moment.
Everything was as 403 had said.
Caroline began to cover her ears, curling up in the corner, not daring to listen to the voices of the two brothers on the stage at this moment.
Caroline didn't know when it started, but she seemed to be unable to hear Arnold's voice, and even Haley's voice. At this moment, there was only the sound of the family film played by the projector outside.
Their mother's voice.
— "Hey, Little Haley, look at the camera, look at Daddy."
— "Look at you, Little Haley, you're just like a little gentleman. You're so obedient. Mommy really likes you so much."
Time passed by little by little. When Caroline released her hands from her ears, she found that 403 seemed to be crying at this time, looking out of the playback window in a daze.
Maybe he was looking at the film on the screen, or maybe he was looking at everything on the stage, but Caroline wanted to forget everything on the stage.
"Let's go, don't miss the past anymore." 403 suddenly walked in front of Caroline and reached out to her … He pulled Caroline up and said slowly, "It's about to end."
After that, Caroline watched 403 take out a few barrels of gasoline with her own eyes.
He splashed the gasoline on the stage, drenching Boston, Arnold, and Haley … Haley was still alive, but Arnold had collapsed.
Arnold fell with Caroline on his back, so she couldn't see what Arnold looked like at this moment. But she said in her heart, This is good. If you can't see, you don't have to think too much.
She knew that she might be deceiving herself … but how many people could do it without deceiving themselves?
It was just that Haley was still like a beast, stimulated to go crazy again. 403 didn't seem to see it. At this moment, in Caroline's opinion, he seemed to be unable to see anything.
403 finally set a fire. The raging flames began to burn the seats here, then spread to the screening room and the stage.
403 once again put on his inferior human skin mask and slowly walked out. Caroline suddenly had a feeling that this might be the last time she saw 403's bandaged appearance … It might even be the last time she saw this vengeful demon.
But even if it was a demon, Caroline had to keep up with 403's pace. Not for anything else, but because there was only one way out.
"Dorm 403, I suggest you don't go there anymore." On the way, 403 suddenly said to Caroline, "Come with me. I will give you what I promised you."
Caroline followed 403 on campus. The night seemed to be unable to stop 403's pace. He easily avoided the crowd on the road. Those who rushed over after discovering the fire.
But Caroline knew that even if they rushed to the scene, they wouldn't be able to save anyone. She clearly remembered that when she left, Haley almost became a 'burning man'.
Perhaps, there was nothing that could force the flames to burn evil. When the flames were extinguished, everything would turn into dust, leaving no trace.
The place she followed 403 to was a pump room in the boys' dormitory area. After opening the door of the pump room, Caroline saw some food residue, paper sheets piled up into a large box, and some almost burned out candles.
"You … you have been living in this place?"
"It's good here. Do you think I should live in the bell tower?" 403 sat on the ground casually, then looked for something in the large paper box.
"Why the bell tower?" Caroline was puzzled.
"Notre Dame de Paris, the ugly man living in the bell tower." 403 seemed to have found what he was looking for. He stood up and looked at Caroline, "Haven't you seen it? Then I suggest you take a look. "
Caroline shook her head.
403 didn't say anything, but he handed something in his hand to Caroline. It was a USB flash drive. He said, "It contains the process of Haley killing Livia. It can prove your innocence."
Caroline held the USB flash drive tightly in her hand and said incredulously, "You … you have been monitoring me?"
"It doesn't matter." 403 shook his head. He sniffed his clothes. Perhaps it was because he was stained with a lot of gasoline, the smell was very strong.
403 began to take off his clothes. He planned to change his clothes, but he found that Caroline was still unwilling to leave at this time, so he stopped, "Let's go. The things inside are not fake, and it's not something I can send you away casually. Moreover, we will never see each other again. Even if you see me, you won't know who I am. "
Caroline hesitated for a moment.
403 had taken off his shirt and found a new one. Seeing Caroline's expression, he took out a camcorder from the large cardboard box, "Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can watch it here. "
Caroline nodded and took the camcorder. She inserted the USB flash drive and began to watch it. She glanced at 403. It seemed that in addition to the wounds on his face, there were few wounds on his body – except for one.
There was a strip scar on his chest. It seemed that he was stabbed by something.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the video … it was Livia's scream! The angle of the video was probably from the corner of the wall. It should be secretly installed.
When she saw Haley's ferocious appearance, Caroline almost closed her eyes. She couldn't bear to see the scene of Livia being killed … She abruptly turned off the video.
However, 403 had disappeared. The door of the pump room was open. He had left.
…
…
It took a long time to extinguish the fire on campus. It was already dawn, but the fire trucks had not left yet. Many students began to rush to the scene of the fire and took out their mobile phones.
Probably soon, the campus intranet would be full of discussions about this fire.
"I heard that three bodies were found."
"Well, I saw it. When they were carried out, they had been burned to ashes. They couldn't be identified at all."
"If you want to investigate, you can still find it, right?"
"God knows how long we have to wait. By then, the murderer may be at large … "
Listening to the students' voices, Caroline lowered her head and left the place. She was worried, so she went back to take a look … but for the time being, it seemed to be safe.
However, the number of students who rushed to the scene gradually increased. Caroline walked with her head down in the crowd, but she suddenly saw a woman.
Holding a book, she should be preparing to go to class. She just looked at the crowd from a distance, at the small auditorium that was burned by the fire … This woman.
It was Lucas' girlfriend, the woman in the photo found in the closet.
Caroline hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over. She pretended to be relaxed and asked the woman, "Hey!"
"You are …" The girl looked at Caroline suspiciously.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you know what happened here." Caroline smiled.
The girl shook her head and didn't care about others hitting on her, "I just came here. I don't know what happened. I have to rush to class. Why don't you ask others?"
With that, she said goodbye and turned to leave.
Caroline suddenly patted the girl on the shoulder and stopped her, "Hey, what's your name? I seem to have seen you somewhere. "
"Oh … is that so?" The girl looked at Caroline in surprise. "Maybe. Maybe it's somewhere. The school is not big. Maybe you have seen me. "
"Let me think about it." Caroline seemed to be thinking seriously, "Oh … I remember. You have your boyfriend. I have seen him before … I know your boyfriend. He seems to be called Lucas, right?"
"Are you a friend of Lucas?" The girl frowned.
Caroline shrugged and said, "No, I just know his name. I haven't seen him many times. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time. How is he recently? "
The girl shook her head and said, "Then you should ask his mentor. He should be interning in a pharmaceutical company now. He hasn't been back to school for more than two months. Also, we broke up long ago. "
"Pharmaceutical company?" Caroline was stunned and said subconsciously, "How is that possible? Shouldn't he be dead … I mean missing?"
“OK！” The girl looked at Caroline, "Listen, I don't know who you are or what your relationship with Lucas is. But I can tell you very clearly that Lucas and I are over. Please tell him not to harass me with these little tricks anymore! And don't send me flowers anymore! "
"He … he sent you flowers?"
"Last week, outside the classroom during class! My God, he was dressed like a turkey. It was so ugly. He was simply looking for trouble! "The girl shook her head," Sorry, I have to go to class. "
"Wait …"
Looking at the back of the girl who left quickly … Caroline was stunned on the spot. If 403 was not Lucas, who could he be?
Caroline suddenly felt a headache. A picture flashed in her mind … It was what she had 'seen' before.
'Arnold' was stabbed with a knife in the forest.
The scene of struggling in the water …
Caroline closed her eyes, but she suddenly opened them. She suddenly remembered the long wound on 403's body.
"Who the hell are you …"
Suddenly, Caroline felt that it didn't matter who 403 was. What mattered was that she seemed to have escaped from this troublesome vortex.
Caroline left the university with some light footsteps. Outside the school gate, Caroline wanted to find a taxi, but when she touched her clothes, she found that she didn't have a single coin on her.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly. She always felt that she had never been so poor … but it didn't seem to be particularly uncomfortable.
Caroline took a deep breath, but she felt that there seemed to be something in her trouser pocket. She took it out and took a look. It turned out to be that kind of bank card.
She found a cash withdrawal machine nearby and looked at the balance on it. Caroline found that the money in it was not reduced at all … After Arnold got this card, he didn't seem to have touched it.
In a trance, Caroline called a taxi. When the driver asked her where she was going, Caroline hesitated for a while before saying softly, "Go to the hospital."
…
In front of the ward, Caroline hesitated for a moment and finally pushed the door open.
But she didn't see Nia here, the sickly woman — the bed was so clean as if no one had slept on it.
Caroline felt puzzled and stopped a nurse in the corridor and asked, "Where is the woman who lives here? Why is Nia missing? "
She might have … that kind of worst result.
"Oh? You mean her? She was discharged two days ago, "the nurse said casually.
"Discharged?" Caroline felt incredulous, "How could she be discharged? Wasn't she about to die and waiting for the operation to save her life? Did she give up? "
"Who said that?" The nurse shook her head and said, "She had the operation a long time ago, and it was quite successful, right?"
"Impossible, she looks so weak that you can only see the bones!"
"Which patient is not weak after a major operation?" The nurse shrugged, then pushed the cart away from Caroline, "Is there anything else? I'm going to send something away. "
Caroline shook her head subconsciously.
At this time, she felt someone gently patting her shoulder. It was a man in a suit, dressed very formally. He looked at Caroline and asked politely, "Excuse me, are you Miss Caroline?"
"Yes … Who are you?" Caroline subconsciously became alert.
The man quickly said, "Don't get me wrong, I have no malice toward you, Miss Caroline. I've been waiting for you here since early this morning. 'Southern Cross', do you remember? "
"What the hell is going on?"
"I think we can find a quiet place to talk about you being deceived." The man smiled slightly, "Is the coffee room downstairs okay? This is not the place to talk about things. "
…
'Southern Cross'.
Caroline suddenly remembered the business card Mr. Orfey gave her. She thought that after the phone call, the other party just casually brushed her off.
"According to your request, our people will soon start to deal with your matter. Regarding Livia's murder case, we've found some suspicious points from various sources, which should prove that you're innocent. Of course, if you want to deal with this matter faster, we can do it without going through the judicial process. It's up to you. "
Caroline was shocked to hear this.
The man continued, "However, when we were investigating your personal information, we also discovered something else. That is, we found that you owe a huge sum of money, Miss Caroline. It's a recent debt. The other party is a loan shark. "
"Impossible! I haven't borrowed money recently! "
"I think you have an impression of these two people." The man took out two photos from the document bag in his hand. The people in the photos were Mr. Carlo and Nia, but Nia's photo was before she fell ill.
"They …"
"Our people have already detained these two people. We've also gotten the information from lawyer Carlo." The man said confidently, "This person is a liar. He is not a lawyer, but he knows the law very well. He has a criminal record before. And this woman is his girlfriend. The documents you signed are not a commission agreement for the purchase and sale of real estate, but a contract to borrow money from the people in your name. The amount is not small. This is their confession. You can take a look. "
Caroline looked at the information given by the other party. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "These two bastards!!!"
"In addition, when I caught Carlo and Nia, I also caught a guy by the way. After asking, he seemed to be a subordinate of a man named Boston. Oh, so many of them. We also found the fugitive who shot and ran away during the memorial service at the theater last time, which solved a lot of problems. "
…
What's wrong with this world?
It felt so unreal.
Caroline didn't know how she walked out of the hospital gate. She didn't even remember what kind of mood she had when she came here after escaping from that troublesome whirlpool.
She had the idea of using the money in her bank card to treat Nia.
Whether it was compensation or something else, Caroline herself couldn't tell.
However, what made her feel ridiculous was that whether it was Nia, Hailiano, or 403, she had been in a world of lies and traps during this period of time.
Looking at the busy road, Caroline suddenly smiled. At this time, she really understood the real intention of Nia calling her to say those words that day.
"Caroline, you are a stupid woman." She said to herself.
On the street, Caroline suddenly didn't know where she was going. She suddenly lost all her goals, and there was only the unimaginable wealth in her arms.
An unfamiliar young man walked to Caroline at this time, pulled her to a flyer, and said enthusiastically, "Miss, are you interested in learning about our organization? We can help you get a formal degree in all major universities! "
Caroline suddenly froze. She held the flyer and looked at it for a while, then suddenly asked, "Can it make people smarter?"
"Miss, knowledge can increase people's wisdom." The young man had a bright smile, "Maybe, we can learn more about it in detail … Well, what is your current education?"
"I haven't studied since I was young." Caroline shook her head.
"Uh … it doesn't matter. We still have a lot of courses here." The young man said again, "Then, do you have any courses that you are particularly interested in? For example, what major? "
"I don't understand." Caroline still shook her head.
"This … this is a bit difficult." The young man was a little embarrassed.
But Caroline smiled slightly at this time, "But, I have money, I am very rich."
"I don't think this is a problem! Miss! Please come with me, I will tailor the most suitable course for you! "He pulled Caroline inside.
Caroline took a deep breath. She didn't know why she suddenly made such a decision … but it felt good.
When she entered the door, Caroline suddenly turned around as if she felt that someone was looking at her from behind.
But when she looked across the road, she didn't seem to see anything … or rather, she just saw a back.
"Everything about you will return to its original track."
…
…
In front of the club's door on the basement three floors.
Even if she had most of the authority to buy and sell, she still couldn't walk through the door. This was a place only the shop owner was allowed to enter.
But Miss Maid knew very well what was inside. It was an altar used to sacrifice everything.
In front of the door, Miss Maid slowly held something in her hands. It was a dazzling ball of light.
