Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1264 Playing the house begins

The same content, why did she write it again two years later?
Bohemia put away the diary she found, quickly went down to the attic, and rushed into the master bedroom; the three light fish hurriedly chased after her, illuminating the room for her.

As one of the main haunts of Bohemia, there must be other clues in this bedroom.She was only looking for the diary just now, maybe she missed something else—this time, Bohemia was cruel.

She turned everything that could be turned over, shook out every piece of clothing, touched every corner, even the inside of the shoes; the walls, the wooden floor, the ceiling... knocked everywhere Once again, in case there is a void underneath.

However, after searching all the places, she was sweating profusely, but found nothing—no, that's not right.

There was one place she hadn't seen yet.

……under the bed.

Looking at the white bed skirt that tightly covered the bed, Bohemia first rehearsed in her mind what horror pictures might be hidden under the bed.Would she see her own face under the bed...?Or, will she find that Yuan Xiangxi has been lying under the bed all the time?Or, when she looked down, there would be another person on the bed looking at her?
She originally wanted to prepare herself mentally, but she didn't expect that the more she thought about it, the more her back would get hairy. She looked around nervously several times in a row, but every time she saw only the empty and messy bedroom.

No, if this continues, I will be scared to death by myself.

Bohemia took a deep breath, took a few steps back, gritted her teeth, and lifted the bed skirt with her consciousness.She didn't dare to lie down again, she only half-bent, and looked inside: under the bed covered with dust, hair, and dirt, there was only a small iron bucket lying on the ground.

...Why put a bucket under the bed?
She slowly pulled out the small iron bucket and looked at it a few times.There was a bit of black, black, yellow, and yellow dirt left in it; probably it had been placed under the bed for a long time, and most of the smell had dissipated, leaving only a faint stink.

Just like the starch in the study, another strange thing that shouldn't be in this place.

She put the bucket back and stood in the bedroom as if it had been robbed, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

I didn't want to understand the problem of the diary, but there was another mystery.Could this bucket be all the clues?
Bohemia thought as she walked out; when she passed the chest of drawers, she stopped.

Every drawer has been pulled down long ago, leaving only a wooden frame; even the inside of the wooden frame has been carefully touched by her.But... On the chest of drawers, there was a small stack of new, empty envelopes.

Because they haven't been used at first glance, Bohemia just pushed them away and looked at them briefly.At this moment, she glanced at them, picked them up one by one, squeezed them, and then opened the envelopes to check the inside-every one was empty.However, although the penultimate envelope was also empty, she looked again and found a faint pencil writing on the inside of the envelope.

mom:

When you read this letter, I should already be on my way home. If you receive a call, don’t tell him where I am, remember to pretend to be in a hurry!Two days after receiving the letter, you come to see me at Lily's hotel.

No signature, no date.

This is a letter prepared in advance so that it can be sent at any time, and it does not want to be discovered.

Bohemia closed the envelope with trembling fingers, and put it back on the chest of drawers.She turned around slowly, looked at Yuan Xiangxi at the door, and finally squeezed out the words: "You... When did you come?"

He—what did he do just now?Develop photos?No, they didn't take a photo today, she probably remembered wrongly.

"……What are you looking at?"

Yuan Xiangxi brought up a light fish she had left downstairs. At this time, the fish was wandering back and forth in the corridor, shaking the shadow cast by his backlight. Only his body was still standing straight and dark in the light. Down.

"I...I want to see if there are any letters that I have finished writing but haven't sent yet." Bohemia said with a trembling voice.

She seems to understand a little bit... She kinda understands why the diary from 1972 was moved to 1974.When she got married, she obviously stopped writing a diary; thinking about it, it is always inconvenient for a husband and wife to get along with each other day and night, so it is not convenient to write a diary secretly.But half a year after her marriage, she began to use her pre-wedding diary to pretend to be a new diary... "I'm pregnant" four bare and white words, pierced her nerves again and again; for a while, all the clues, Mysteries are all vying to be squeezed into her mind, eager to connect into a historical thread.

"Have it?"

"What?" She suddenly recovered and was taken aback.

"Letter, do you have a letter to send?"

"No, no—no. No."

The dark shadow of Yuan Xiangxi walked into the room, his face gradually brightened under the light.His appearance still looked the same, but his expression reminded people of a thin layer of mist floating on the ice, which made Bohemia couldn't help trembling and took a few steps back.

"Don't avoid me." Yuan Xiangxi noticed it, and looked at her with a hoarse smile; it seemed to be begging, but also aggrieved.Seeing that she didn't make a sound, he stroked Bohemia with his eyes for a while, and smiled in a low voice: "...No matter what time you are, you are always so good-looking."

He turned his head and looked around the messy bedroom, his eyes stayed on the iron bucket beside the bed for a while, but he didn't say anything - he just pointed to the bed and whispered: "It's late, you should rest Yes. Bao'er and those two children are also asleep now."

Bao'er and those two children...?Only the name Bao'er seemed to have some meaning to her father; the other two children didn't even need to mention their names.

As if something was attached to her back, Bohemia couldn't do anything except sway her body stiffly and walk towards the big bed.She felt that she was so tight that she was as hard as wood, and when she slowly sat down on the bed, she could almost hear the sound of her body being folded in half.

Yuan Xiangxi stood by the bed, watched her lie down, and pulled back the quilt for her with his own hands.He gently covered her with the quilt, as if the treasure of his life was under the quilt; then, he smiled and said, "Stretch out your hand."

Reach out?She looked at the bed rail.

Yes—yes, the iron bucket—

Yuan Xiangxi pulled out her right wrist, held it with one hand, and lifted the corner of her jacket with the other.On the waistband of his trousers was a handcuff.

Not flimsy adult toys, but genuine steel handcuffs.

With a "click", Bohemia's right hand was firmly locked on the bedside railing.

He brought the small iron bucket over and placed it beside her bed, and she remembered the faint stench inside.The husband bent down and kissed her hair. "Sleep well, and call me when you are thirsty at night. I will go to the study to do something, and I will come up to accompany you later."

His body was so tense, yet he could still tremble so violently.

She couldn't tell whether she was afraid or angry; she really wished she had superhuman strength, tore off the handcuffs, pushed him away, and rushed out without looking back—but her soft skin stuck to the heavy handcuffs. When the cold handcuffs were put on, the tactile sensation was always clear and desperate, making her realize that as an unarmed and weak woman, she couldn't get out of these handcuffs.

"Ah," Yuan Xiangxi turned around suddenly when he reached the door of the room. "I almost forgot, there are still a few photos to be sent to relatives that I haven't taken today."

Bohemia raised her head sharply.

The husband approached the bed again and pulled out a necklace from his collar; the pendant was a small key.

"Come on, let's go to the child's room to take pictures."

Bohemia watched the handcuffs around her wrists and opened her mouth, and her right hand was free again.Under his signal, she stood up slowly and followed her husband into the room of Bao'er and her younger brother.Guangyu didn't get the order, but he followed automatically, lighting up the small children's room.

There was no child in the room except the bunch of Boa dolls whose eyes had been poked out.The husband looked around, turned around and smiled, "I thought, how about taking a picture of you putting the child to bed, and another picture of us reading to Bo'er together? Oh, I'll get the camera and a tripod."

Put the child to bed?Reading to Boa?
Bohemia looked around - there wasn't even a child here.

From just now, she seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word; she stared blankly at her husband and turned to leave the door, her heart was pounding, and she suddenly found her voice again.

"You, are you going to get something from the darkroom?"

This is most likely her chance to escape.

"That's right." The husband smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the corridor. He didn't seem to be worried at all. She would take this opportunity to run away.

After he disappeared out of sight down the stairs, Bohemia's chest was so tight that not even a breath could come through.Her palms were sweaty, she took off her shoes and held them in her hands, stepped barefoot on the wooden floor, and quickly went down the stairs as quietly as possible - she couldn't escape from the window on the second floor, she could only run through the door on the first floor Go out; after much deliberation, the only time she can act is the mere moment after her husband walks into the darkroom.

When Bohemia went down the stairs and stepped on the wooden floor of the first floor, she really heard the sound of the door opening from the dark room behind the stairs.He should have already walked in, because the noise of objects being moved immediately sounded in the darkroom-there was not much time left for her.

She took a breath silently, raised her foot and ran towards the study.

There was a door stop under the study door, and she remembered that she had used it once today to block the study door.The study room is not far from the darkroom, as long as she moves faster, she can catch up!
Bohemia threw herself on the ground, pulled out the door stop, and turned around and rushed towards the door of the darkroom, almost rolling and crawling.The door of the darkroom was ajar, and the light fish was prowling inside, casting her husband's shadow on the wall; he heard a noise, put one hand on the doorknob, and seemed to be about to open the door and come out. "Bohemia? Are you down?"

The three children born from her body are part of her flesh and blood, part of her life; if she wants to leave, she will take the children with her, and absolutely cannot leave them to him——

Bohemia threw forward with all her strength, and slammed the door of the dark room hard; her nerves seemed to explode with the muffled sound, and there was nothing but a buzzing in her ears for a while.But she still remembered the most important thing—she quickly squatted down and pushed the short end of the doorstop under the door.

"Hello!" The husband was taken aback, and pushed the door hard a few times, the door knocked twice, but he managed to withstand it. "Open the door!"

How could she open the door?
Seeing that he was stuck in the darkroom, Bohemia finally let go of her suffocated breath, and her hands and feet were a little weak.But now is not the time to relax, she has to take the child and run away, it is not known how long this door will last.

When she turned to leave, her husband stopped pushing the door.He stood quietly in the darkroom and spoke.

"Put the light fish away first."

Bohemia was taken aback.Oh, by the way, the illuminated fish are indeed hers.

"Don't you want to know where the kids are?"

She should have seized the opportunity to find the children, but she was frozen and motionless.Three light fish swirled around their heads, illuminating the small space under the stairs brightly.Night, holding your breath outside the house.

"You've only seen Bao'er's black shadow, and her pair of feet exposed in the dark."

……What is he saying?
"When the fish swims past, the shadow disappears. But our children are always there." He said quietly in the darkroom, "...put the fish away and look again."

Almost at a loss, Bohemia called Yuyu over—her body was shaking from the cold, as if she had been thrown into a icy lake in the coldest winters and was fished out again, her body soaked in ice water was as heavy as if I can't stand upright anymore.

All the light went out in an instant, and darkness suddenly enveloped the house.

At first she couldn't see anything; after her eyes got used to it for a while, she finally gradually saw the blurred and dim shadows around her: corridors, stairs, study... The hazy outline barely emerged in the thick night.

Her heart sank.

She didn't want to bow her head at all, but she forced herself to lower her head slowly.

The black shadow of a child was silently sticking to her legs, and he didn't know how long he had been following her. At this moment, he felt her gaze, and raised his round and big head towards her a little bit.

... Boa.

In the hand of the lacquered Bao'er, she was holding a doorstop.

When she saw clearly, her husband pushed open the darkroom door and came out from the darkness.He approached Bohemia, stretched out his hand and lightly landed on the huge head, and stroked it a few times.

"Bao'er is so obedient, well done." He said softly, "Next time, I will follow mom closely and see what she is doing."

The round and big black shadow nodded a little bit up and down in the dimness, and gave out a half-scream of joy under the encouraging palm of the father.Immediately afterwards, it turned around and realigned itself on Bohemia.She seemed to be able to feel that Bao'er's breath was hitting her skin.

"You are so childish," the husband raised his hand and pinned her hair behind her ear in the dark. "What's the use of piercing the eyes in Bao'er's photo? Sometimes I worry about whether you will become mentally unstable."

He approached her and whispered in her ear, "When you first had Bao'er, you loved her so much, even sacrificing the chance of leaving me for her... Do you regret it?"

　Recently, helping to deal with the affairs at home has been numerous and complicated, and I have to deal with a bunch of stupid and kay people, and my mood has become very irritable.
