Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 858 The Real World

"Everything about you will return to its original track."

……

As if being pulled by something, Caroline felt as if there was a strange suction in her body, sucking 'her' from the outside to the inside—the inside of the body.

She woke up all of a sudden—but she realized that she was not in the corridor of the teaching building.It's dark here, and there's the sound of the projector... She's been to this place.

This is the screening room at the school 403 brought her to - Caroline begins to check herself...no injuries.

But she clearly remembered what happened before she passed out... Has everything returned to the original track?
"Are you awake?" The door of the projection room opened, and it was the 403 that Caroline knew who walked in.

At this time, 403 didn't wear that kind of cheap human leather headgear, and the appearance of bandages wrapped around his face still made Caroline feel a chill no matter how many times.

"I...why am I here?" Caroline asked subconsciously.

403 said: "You passed out in the corridor, so I moved you here."

Corridor... Caroline closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously. The scene of the entire floor being destroyed was vivid in her memory, "Corridor... what happened to that floor?"

"What's the matter?" 403 looked at Caroline curiously, "It's nothing, I just moved you back, and by the way, I also moved them back."

"They..." Caroline was startled, and suddenly seemed to think of something. She hurried to the window of the projector and looked outside.

On the stage below, a huge cage was placed at some point, and in the cage, several people were imprisoned... Arnold, Haili, and Posty.

They seemed to have passed out.

Caroline suddenly looked back at 403. She didn't know what he was going to do next, but she felt that his eyes were not human at all.

"You...you want to kill them?" Caroline looked at 403 and asked.

403 shook his head, "I just let them feel fear and despair, and some things that are more painful than death."

At this time, 403 stretched out his hand to brush Caroline's cheek. The words of this movement made Caroline jump, but she saw that 403 didn't want to grab her, but just to open the door behind her, which was placed on the wall. Button - Button for the lights on the stage below.

Pop, pop.

The lights were turned on one by one, and the spotlights began to gather on the huge cage on the stage, shining on the three of Arnold and Nuo.

At this time, 403 moved the projector over, took a plate, and put it into the projector.He started it, and the old-fashioned projector began to rotate slowly, and the films moved from under Caroline's eyes one by one.

Caroline began to hear voices... She looked towards the curtain on the stage.

The yellowed picture quality seems to be a bit old... like a documentary picture.

A woman is holding a child...a child who is about five or six years old. The woman has a smile on her face and is looking towards the camera. She is holding the child's hand and waving it towards the camera.

Caroline saw the house in the background, she felt a little familiar, and then suddenly remembered that this was the house she followed A Nuo to in the first time... the old house where A Nuo was born and raised.

"Hey, little Hailey, look at the camera, look at Dad." The woman loved the child so much that she kissed him on the cheek, "Little Hailey, say hello to your brother?"

Caroline could see that this film should be a family-style documentary, and the person holding the camcorder was probably the woman's husband.

The camera began to rotate, and another child also entered the camera at this time.The two children were almost identical in appearance, and apart from their clothes, they were almost indistinguishable.

"This is them... when they were young!" Caroline looked towards 403 subconsciously.

I only heard 403 looking at the video at this time, and said calmly: "Look at them, they are so small, they look like angels, don't you think so?"

At this time, the little Haili who was being hugged by the woman turned around suddenly, and then kissed the woman's cheek, which made the woman laugh happily.

"Look at you, little Hailey, you are like a little gentleman, you are so obedient, and my mother likes you so much. This is my son. Of course, my little Arnold is also very good! With you two Well, I'm content!"

The documentary was still playing, followed by some family games. Even someone like Caroline could feel the warmth of this family.

She suddenly thought of her childhood... remembering that her father had not died in the stray bullets of the gang, and the family of three seemed to be like this.

"You... why are you showing me these?" Caroline frowned.

"No, no, no, I didn't show it to you." 403 shook his head, then pointed to the cage on the stage, "It's for them to watch. I'm just adjusting the picture so that it can have the best It's just the angle."

"You...how do you have these things?" Caroline asked subconsciously.

"It's easy to find this kind of thing, isn't it?" 403 said calmly, "It depends on whether you have the heart to look for it, whether you want to find it, and whether you want to do it."

I saw that 403 started to rewind at this time, and then said slowly: "I didn't plan like this, but something seems to have happened. This Haili came out ahead of time, so there are still some things I haven't had time to show him... However, it doesn't matter anymore. Because, maybe seeing these effects will be better...Of course, my own mood will be much worse. But compared to the next...It doesn't seem to be important. Because I have some control It’s not a good thing if you can’t help yourself.”

As he said that, 403 suddenly pushed up the button of the sound system, making the sound equipment around the stage extremely harsh.Caroline had to cover her ears directly.

At the same time, under the influence of the piercing sound, the three Arnolds in the cage also slowly woke up.

Poston woke up first and found that he was locked in a cage. He quickly stood up and groped towards his waist subconsciously—but when he found that his pistol was missing, he suddenly It became cold and sweaty.

"Who!! Who is here! Who is it!!" Poston grabbed the iron bars of the cage and roared angrily.

"Stop arguing! I have a headache!" Arnold patted his head at this moment, stood up with support, and began to look around the environment.

Haili sat up, his eyes were blank, but he kept looking at the cage that trapped him, and he didn't know what he was thinking—at this time, from the projection room above the seat, a shot came suddenly. a bright light.

The light and shadow penetrated Arnold's body, and then projected on the curtain behind him... the sound followed.

——"Hey, little Hailey, look at the camera, look at Daddy."

Hearing this sound suddenly, A Nuo opened his eyes suddenly, and turned around quickly.

——"Little Hailey, say hello to your brother?"

On the curtain, the young Haili waved his hand at this moment, as if his eyes were infinitely magnified... Because of the poor shooting technique, the whole shot was the child's face.

A Nuo suddenly fell backwards, hitting the cage all of a sudden.His breathing became rapid...he subconsciously shifted his gaze away...subconsciously looked at Haili who was also looking up at the reflection on the curtain at this moment.

At this time, Haili also turned his head slowly, looking at Arnold. .

The eyes of the two brothers suddenly met, and Anuo suddenly wanted to take a step aside.

"let me out!!!!"

At this moment, Haili jumped up suddenly, grabbed A Nuo's neck with both hands, and let out a roar like a wild animal—he even opened his mouth and bit A Nuo's ear.

what--! ! !
A Nuo let out a shrill cry, but Haili bit off his left ear abruptly.He fell to the ground in pain——Hailey's mouth was full of blood, and the living ear was still in his mouth at the moment, looking like a devil-like horror.

"This...monster!" Seeing this scene, Boston turned pale with fright.

I saw Hailey suddenly staring at Boston at this time. Under the great fear, Boston's ruthless temper was instantly provoked, and he suddenly flew towards Haili, "Freak! Go to hell!" !"

"Don't call me a freak!!!!!!"

A normal person, even an ordinary person with anger and fear, can't beat a crazy person.At this moment, Haili's face was covered with blood, as if he didn't know the pain, and had strength beyond ordinary people.

With his well-trained fist, Poston hit Hailey in the face one after another, almost breaking the bridge of Hailey's nose, and bursting his lips, but he still couldn't hit Hailey.

Hailey suddenly took an opportunity, and bit Boston's throat directly... Puchi, the arteries in his neck were bitten, and a terrifying amount of blood splashed out all of a sudden.

what……

With an exclamation, Caroline could no longer watch this bloody scene, and her body trembled a little... She looked at 403's appearance in horror, but saw that there was an unconcealable joy in 403's eyes at this time. meaning.

He... He took a bag of beef cubes from somewhere, and he was eating it with relish.But seeing Caroline looking towards her, she even smiled slightly and said, "Oh, do you want something to eat?"

Smelling the smell of beef, Caroline suddenly felt nauseous... She quietly leaned against the wall, trying to walk towards the door of the projection room.

"The stage play hasn't ended yet, are you leaving now?" 403 didn't look back at this time, "Let's finish watching, as I said, after this matter is over, I will go to prove your innocence...don't give me any treatment for you." Bad reason."

Caroline nodded nervously, then stopped her footsteps.

But she didn't dare to look at what happened on the stage...but she could clearly hear Hayley's voice, and maybe Arnold's voice...Boston, Boston may have died.

Under those circumstances, Caroline didn't think Poston would survive.

"You...why didn't you appear in front of them?" Caroline asked suddenly, this was a question she couldn't figure out herself - she couldn't figure out why she had to ask 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 no longer proud. When everything is out of his control At times, he becomes helpless, even ignorant, and the abyss of fear swallows him up."

"You... seem to know him very well." Caroline looked at 403 and wanted to blurt out a name in her mind: Lucas.

But she never said the name...not trying to provoke the other party, nor trying to find out the other party's background, being wise and safe is almost the most important principle of survival as a prostitute.

"Who are you!!!!!! Let it go!!! Let it go!!! You freak!! Let it go!! I let you out!! Let it go!!! Ahh-!!! Monster!! You monster !!! Let... let me go... let me go... let go..."

That was Arnold's roar, and there was a fear that couldn't be concealed in the anger. Even though it was so far away, even if he couldn't see his appearance at this time, every cell in Caroline seemed to be able to feel it at this moment. Arnold's share of fear.

Everything works as the 403 says.

Caroline began to cover her ears and curled up in the corner, not daring to listen to the voices of the two brothers on the stage at this moment.

At some point, Caroline seemed to have lost sight of Arnold's voice, or even Hayley's voice.At this moment, outside, there is only the sound of the family movie played by the projector.

their mother's voice.

——"Hey, little Hailey, look at the camera, look at Daddy."

——"Look at you, little Hailey, you are just like a little gentleman, you are so obedient, mom really likes you so much."

Time passed little by little. When Caroline let go of her hands covering her ears, she found that 403 seemed to be crying at this time, and she was staring out of the playback window.

Maybe what he was watching was the film on the screen, maybe what he was watching was everything on the stage—and everything on the stage, Caroline wanted to forget.

"Let's go, don't miss the past anymore." 403 suddenly walked in front of Caroline, and stretched out his hand towards her... He pulled Caroline up, and said slowly: "It's coming to an end."

After that, Caroline watched 403 fetch several barrels of gasoline with her own eyes.

He poured gasoline on the stage, and it rained on Poston, Arnold, and Hailey... Hailey was still alive, but Arnold was down.

Arnold fell with Caroline on his back, so she couldn't see exactly what Arnold looked like at the moment.But she thought to herself, that's fine, if you can't see it, you don't have to think about it.

She knew that this might be deceiving herself... But how many people can do it without deceiving herself?
It's just that Haili was still like a wild beast, and was so stimulated that he went crazy again. 403 didn't seem to see it. At this moment, in Caroline's eyes, he seemed to see nothing.

403 finally lit a fire, and the raging flames began to burn the seats here, and then spread towards the projection room and towards the stage.

403 put on his low-quality human leather headgear again, and walked towards the outside slowly.Caroline suddenly had a feeling that this might be the last time she saw the bandaged face of 403...or even, it might be the last time she saw this vengeful devil.

But even if she is a devil, Caroline has to keep up with 403, for no other reason, because there is only one way to leave.

"Dormitory 403, I suggest you don't go there again." On the way, 403 suddenly said to Caroline: "Come with me, I will give you what I promised you."

Carlo followed 403 on the campus, and the night seemed unable to stop 403's pace. He easily avoided the crowd on the road—those who started to rush after discovering the fire.

But Caroline knew that even if they rushed to the scene, they would not be able to save anyone - because she clearly remembered that when she left, Hailey almost became a 'burning man'.

Perhaps, when there is nothing that can force the flame to burn evil, when the flame is extinguished, everything will turn into dust without leaving a trace.

The place she followed 403 was a pump room in the critical male dormitory area... Opening the door of the pump room, what Caroline saw were some food residues, paper piled up into a big box, and Some almost burnt candles.

"You...you've been living in this place?"

"It's pretty good here, do you think I should live in the bell tower?" 403 sat on the ground casually, and then looked for something in the big cardboard box.

"Why the bell tower?" Caroline asked puzzled.

"Notre Dame de Paris, the ugly man who lives in the bell tower." 403 seemed to have found what he was looking for, so he stood up, looked at Caroline and said, "Haven't you seen it? Then I suggest you Go and have a look."

Caroline shook her head.

403 didn't say anything, but handed something in Caroline's hand, which was a USB flash drive.He said: "Haley killed Livia in this process, it can prove your innocence."

Caroline held the USB flash drive tightly in her hand, and said in disbelief, "You...you have been monitoring?"

"It doesn't matter any more." 403 shook his head, he sniffed his clothes, maybe because of a lot of gasoline, the smell was very strong.

403 began to take off his clothes, he planned to change 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, let alone I just sent them away casually." Your stuff. Besides, we won't see each other again—even if we did, you wouldn't know who I am."

Caroline hesitated.

403 had already taken off his shirt at this time, and found a new one. Seeing Caroline's expression, he took out a camcorder from the big cardboard box, "Don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, Just watch it here."

Caroline nodded, took the camcorder, inserted the USB flash drive, and started watching.She took a look at 403, it seemed that apart from the wound on his face, there were not many wounds on his body - except for one.

On the chest, there was a strip of scars, which seemed to be stabbed by something.

Suddenly there was a screaming sound from the opened video... It was Livia's screaming sound!The shooting angle is probably at the corner of the wall. This should be a secretly installed lens.

The moment she saw Hailey's hideous appearance, Caroline almost closed her eyes, unable to bear to watch the scene of Livia being killed... She suddenly turned off the video.

But 403 was gone, the door to the pump room was open, and he had left.

……

……

It took a long time to extinguish the fire on campus—it was already dawn, but the fire trucks hadn't left yet. Many students rushed to the scene of the fire and took out their mobile phones.

Probably before long, the campus intranet will be full of discussions about the fire.

"I heard that three bodies were found."

"Well, I saw it. When it was lifted out, it was all charred and couldn't be recognized at all."

"If you want to check, you can still find it, right?"

"God knows how long it will take? By then, the murderer may have been at large long ago..."

Hearing the voices of the students talking, Caroline lowered her head and left here——she turned back to take a look because she was worried... But for the time being, it seems to be safe.

But the number of students who rushed to the scene to watch gradually increased. Caroline walked with her head bowed in the crowd, but she suddenly saw a woman.

Holding a book, he should be preparing to go to class, but just looking at the crowd from a distance, looking at the small auditorium after the fire... this woman.

It was Lucas' girlfriend, the woman in the photo found in the closet.

Caroline hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over. She pretended to be relaxed and asked beside the woman, "Hey!"

"You are..." The girl looked at Caroline suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask if you know what happened here?" Caroline smiled and said.

The girl shook her head and didn't care about other people's chatting up. "I'm new here too. I don't know what happened. I have to rush to class. Why don't you ask others?"

Then he said goodbye and turned to leave.

Caroline suddenly patted the girl on the shoulder, making her stop, "Hey, what's your name? I seem to have seen you somewhere."

"Oh... really." The girl looked at Caroline with some surprise, "Maybe, maybe somewhere. The school isn't that big, so maybe I've seen it."

"Let me think about it." Caroline seemed to be thinking seriously, "Oh... I remember, you and your boyfriend, I met... I know your boyfriend, it seems to be called Lucas's?"

"Are you Lucas' friend?" The girl frowned.

Caroline shrugged and said, "No, I just know the name, and I haven't seen him a few 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 tutor, he should be an intern in a pharmaceutical company now, and he hasn't come back to school for more than two months. Also, we broke up long ago."

"Pharmaceutical company?" Caroline was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "How is it possible, shouldn't he be dead...Did I say missing?"

"OK!" the girl looked at Caroline, "Listen, I don't know who you are or what your relationship is with Lucas. But I can tell you very clearly that Lucas and I are done Please tell him, don't use these little tricks to harass me again! Don't send me flowers anymore!"

"He... he sent you flowers?"

"Last week, when I was in class, outside the classroom door! Oh my god, I was dressed like a turkey, it's too ugly, okay, you're just asking me for trouble!" The girl shook her head, "I'm sorry, I have to go to class."

"Wait……"

Looking at the back of the girl who walked away quickly... Caroline stood there blankly. If 403 wasn't Lucas, who would he be?

Caroline suddenly felt a little headache, and a picture flashed in her mind... It was something she had 'seen' before.

'Arnold' who was stabbed into the body with a knife in the forest.

The picture of struggling in the water...

Caroline closed her eyes, but suddenly opened them, and she suddenly remembered the long wound on 403's body.

"who are you……"

Suddenly, Caroline felt that no matter who 403 was, it didn't seem to matter anymore. The important thing was that she seemed to have escaped from this troublesome vortex.

Caroline left the university with some ease.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 smiled wryly, feeling that she had never been so poor...but it didn't seem particularly uncomfortable.

Caroline took a deep breath, but felt that there was something in her trouser pocket. She took a look and found that it was that kind of bank card.

She found a cash withdrawal machine nearby, and looked at the balance on it. Caroline found that there was no shortage of money in it... After Arnold got the card there, it seemed that he hadn't moved it.

Suddenly, Caroline called a taxi. When the driver asked her where she was going, Caroline hesitated for a while before softly saying, "Go to the hospital."

……

In front of the ward door, Caroline hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed the ward door open.

But she didn't see Nia here, that sick woman—the hospital bed was so tidy, as if no one had ever slept in it.

Feeling puzzled, Caroline stopped a nurse in the corridor and asked, "Where is the woman who lives here? Why is Nia missing?"

She might have... the worst possible outcome.

"Oh? You mean her? She was discharged from the hospital two days ago." The nurse said casually.

"Discharged?" Caroline felt incredible: "How could it be possible to be discharged? Isn't she dying and waiting for an operation to save her life? Did she give up?"

"Who said that?" The nurse shook her head and said, "She has already had surgery, and it was quite successful, right?"

"Impossible, she looks so weak, she can only see the bones!"

"Which patient is not weak after a major operation?" The nurse shrugged, then pushed the cart away from Caroline's side: "Is there anything else? I'm going to deliver something."

Caroline shook her head subconsciously.

At this moment, she felt someone pat her shoulder lightly. It was a man in a suit and dressed very formally. He looked at Caroline and asked very politely, "Excuse me, you are Miss Caroline." ?"

"Yeah... who are you?" Caroline subconsciously became alert.

The man hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I have no ill intentions towards you, Miss Caroline. I'm here to wait for you on purpose, this morning. 'Southern Cross', do you still remember? "

"So what happened?"

"I think we can find a quiet place to talk about you being cheated." The man smiled slightly: "Is the coffee room downstairs okay? This is not a place to talk about things."

……

'Southern Cross'.

Caroline immediately remembered the business card that Mr. Offee gave her—she thought that after a call was made, the other party was just perfunctory for herself.

"According to your entrustment request, our people will soon start to deal with your matter. Regarding the Livia murder case, from various sources, we have found some suspicious things, which should prove your innocence. Of course, if you want to deal with this matter faster, we can also do it, and there is no problem without going through judicial procedures, it depends on what you want."

Caroline was taken aback.

The man said again: "However, when investigating your personal information, we also discovered another thing. That is, we found that Miss Caroline owed a huge sum of money, which was owed only recently. The other party is usury."

"Impossible! I haven't borrowed any money at all recently!"

"I think you have an impression of these two people." The man took out two photos from the file bag in his hand - the people in the photos were Lawyer Carlo and Nia, but Nia's photo was sick Reverse the appearance before.

"them……"

"Our people have already detained these two people, and we have asked clearly from this lawyer Carlo." The man said confidently: "This man is a liar, 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 entrustment agreements for real estate sales, but contracts for borrowing money from private parties in your name, and the amount is quite a lot .This is their confession, you can read it."

Caroline looked at the information given by the other party, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "These two bastards!!!"

"Also, when I caught Carlo and Nia, I also caught a guy by the way. After asking, he seemed to be a man named Boston. The fugitive who shot away during the memorial service solved a lot of trouble."

……

What is going on in this world?

It feels so unreal.

Caroline didn't know how she walked out of the hospital gate. She didn't even remember what kind of mood she was in, and came here for the first time after getting out of the troublesome vortex.

She moved the idea of ​​using the money on the bank card to save 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, whether it was Heliano or 403, she had been in a world of lies and traps for a long time.

Looking at the busy road, Caroline suddenly smiled. Only then did she truly understand the true meaning of the words Nia called her to come to her that day.

"Caroline, you're 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 only had the unimaginable wealth in her arms.

A strange young man walked up to Caroline at this time, pulled her to hand out a flyer, and said enthusiastically: "Miss, are you interested in learning more about our organization? We can help you in major colleges with formal degrees!"

Caroline was taken aback for a moment, and held the leaflet for a while, then asked suddenly, "Can people become smart?"

"Miss, knowledge can increase people's wisdom." The young man smiled brightly, "Perhaps, we can learn more about it... Well, I don't know what your education is now, miss?"

"I haven't read since I was very 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 became a little embarrassed.

But Caroline smiled slightly at this time and said: "But, I have money, I am very rich."

"I don't think this is a problem! Miss! Please come with me, and I will tailor the most suitable course for you!" He pulled Caroline towards the inside.

Caroline took a deep breath, she didn't know why she made such a decision suddenly...but it seemed to be good.

When entering the door, Caroline suddenly turned around, as if she felt that someone was watching her from behind.

But when she looked across the road, she didn't seem to see anything...or rather, she just saw a figure from behind.

"Everything about you will return to its original track."

……

……

In front of the negative third floor of the club.

Even if he has most of the authority to buy and sell, he still cannot enter this door—this is a place only the owner of the shop is allowed to enter.

But the maid knew very well what was inside, that was the altar on which everything was sacrificed.

In front of the door, the maid lady slowly picked up something in both hands, it was a dazzling ball of light.

"The power of dimensional observation... I will perform sacrifices here on behalf of my master." You Ye said softly: "In this way, the master will have enough time to maintain his vacation. After all, it is only a 'main god' The plan is still a bit out of reach..."
