Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1420 The missing baby

A large flower pot that had been placed in the corner of the living room was now pressed against the place where the dead man's head should have been, clinging to his broad shoulders; blood, white brains, black soil and broken porcelain were all mixed together, spreading one place.

Just like the death of Abby upstairs, anyone who glanced at it would know that there was no need for rescue.The corpse was lying face down on the floor, its two big, shoeless feet turned to the ceiling, and the bottom of the socks was covered with a layer of dust.

"How did this happen?" Li Er murmured, "It's only been less than an hour, why did another person die?"

After the death of the second person, the faces of the neighbors around the door were all grim and ugly.In addition to the Barbecue Hu who has never appeared, Yanhuang was missing from the crowd this time.

"It wasn't an hour. The blood on the ground was starting to stick," Mr. Kwan said. "He probably died within two or three ten minutes after we found Abby."

Elizabeth closed her eyes - from this point of view, Yanhuang did not take long to get home.

As soon as she thought of Yan Huang, someone said, "Hey, Yan Huang is not here."

Reminded by this sentence, everyone looked at each other and seemed to think who the killer might be.

"No wonder...it would make sense if she did it." Miss Chen covered her nose with her hands and said, "Didn't she always think that her husband was going to harm her?"

"That's good." Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing everyone turned their eyes to her, she quickly waved her hands and said, "No—I mean, two people died in a row... If it's a serial killer It's just too bad..."

"We understand." Mr. Guan comforted me gently.

Grandma Pink's eyes flicked left and right on the ground, and she didn't know whether she could understand the fact that there was a dead person in front of her eyes——Elizabeth just thought of this when she suddenly heard her ask, "Where's the child?"

Everyone was startled.It hadn't occurred to anyone just now that the couple had an NPC baby; instead, it was the befuddled Grandma Pink who noticed first.

"Their child is less than one year old." Grandma Pink's clear thinking obviously stopped here, and she said vaguely: "It's my grandson, named Pink..."

"Here I am," Pink tugged at her sleeve from behind, "I'm Pink."

"Oh, oh." Grandma Pink suddenly realized, and patted his hand.

The neighbors were silent for two seconds, and the house was dead silent.The baby's babbling sound that I usually hear seems to have disappeared for a long time.

"Let's go find it," Mr. Guan said, "You can't leave a baby like this."

Everyone tried their best to turn a blind eye to the corpses on the ground, walked around far away, and dispersed carefully in the house.The couple vacated a small storage room as a nursery, and when Elizabeth walked in, she could even make out the traces of Yanhuang's care for the baby: spilled milk paste dried on the floor, bed On the mat, there was a layer of milk skin dirty in the bottle.On the railing of the empty crib, a large piece of paint and wood veneer was nervously picked off, and debris was scattered all over the place-the caregiver's unstable mental state can be seen everywhere.

As a pharmacist, Heipeng's family is well prepared.Elizabeth found a portable first aid kit in the bathroom, opened it conveniently, and stuffed all the ointment alcohol bandages inside into her pocket.She was not at all embarrassed about taking things from dead people; while no one else was paying attention, she closed the bathroom door and opened her character manual.

...The number of people who believed that she really had spiritual powers was reduced to "3".

From this point of view, the dead are no longer counted as one of the targets of the raid, so even those who believed in her during their lifetime will be deducted from the completion progress after death.It's really frustrating, it's better to let all those who don't believe in her die... Elizabeth closed the manual with a snap, glanced behind the shower curtain, and found that it was also empty, and pulled it away irritatedly. the door.

Where did that child who was always crying ghostly go?

Not only did she find nothing, everyone searched for a few minutes, and the baby was nowhere to be found, and they regrouped in the living room.Granny Pink was getting confused again, pulling out drawers one by one, as if babies would be stacked in a drawer like socks.Even Pink didn't bother with her; everyone glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "...that child is gone."

"Who will take that child away?" Jessica asked, "Could it be that Yanhuang took her child..."

Before she finished speaking, her voice became weaker and less confident.In Yanhuang's state, it was a good thing that the child didn't drown after the incident, so how could he take the child away?
"There's nothing we can do if we can't find it." Ms. Chen waved her hand without interest, and said, "Cover him with a cloth, and let's go."

"No...wait a minute." Elizabeth's heart was pounding, and she raised her hand to stop everyone.

When she opened her eyes dimly, she thought another day had passed.Finally, she got through this difficult life again... She rubbed her eyes and found that the date on her phone didn't seem to have changed. It turned out that she had only fallen asleep for half an hour.

Losing your other half doesn't mean you're lucky enough to lose half of the world.No, she felt like life was like a giant ice cream scoop that had been thrust in hard, tearing away chunks of her life, leaving her with only a thin residue.

Her whole personality has changed drastically, even she can feel it.

At that time, she tried everything in order to keep her husband, her ex-husband.As if there weren't enough candlelit dinners, shared baths, and tender moments in the world to salvage the rift between them, because in the end the conversation would circle back and forth and always come back to the same thing.

Isn't she trying hard enough?She has done all the medical tests and treatments on the market, and she signed up and spent a lot of money to try any means that could bring them a little hope; no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was, she gritted her teeth and endured it. coming.

In the end, when she saw no hope, the pain that tormented her became the reason for her husband to leave her.

Now when she thinks about the past years, she can feel the hollow feeling in her lower abdomen again, as if a black hole has been dug out, devouring her from the body year after year.

You have a uterus that refuses to carry a fetus, the doctor explained bluntly when they couldn't understand.

She stood up slowly, the memory washing over her like a tidal wave.Not a memory from the divorce, but a more recent memory, just a while ago: she...she seemed to go to a neighbor's house and steal something before she fell asleep.

She lowered her head as she remembered, and saw a baby's face in her arms.

Wait, she went to steal the baby?
By the way...it seems to be.Once again, she was in a state of near-frenzy, thinking that a baby could solve everything that mattered to her in the world: by pretending that he was the child she had just conceived at the time of divorce, she could hide Her infertility might be able to restore her ex-husband... So when she saw that crazy mother put the baby by the window and ignored it, she couldn't help it.

Now that I calm down and think about it, this plan is full of loopholes, it is simply too ridiculous.

She quickly turned around the room, but she didn't see anything that looked like a doll; thinking that it might be her own dream, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and fell down on the sofa—unlike before. The soft touch was different, and she became stiff all of a sudden.

When the child was dragged by one leg and pulled out from between the sofa cushions, his skin was already green, like a mouse that had been crushed at some point.

No, no, it may not be that he accidentally killed him.

If she remembers correctly, it seems that when she stole the child, he was already silent, even if he was hugged up and down, he was not woken up - it's funny, even if she killed him Yes, this is not the first child who died beside her.

She shivered suddenly, and threw away the little corpse with a raised hand.

No, his parents will definitely come to look for them. There are only so many people in this building, and it will be a matter of time before they find her. What is her goal? "Don't be caught wrong in behavior".That is to say, it doesn't matter what she does in private, as long as she doesn't get discovered; she has always used this as a principle to avoid neighbors.But now that a child is lost, the parents still have to turn the building upside down?

She stood in the middle of the room in a daze, thinking about how to get rid of this little corpse.She can't get out of this apartment, although she lives on the first floor, there is no courtyard to bury it; she never cooks at home, so the kitchen is also empty...I can't take a cloth bag and wait for its parents to come find it?
She lifted the curtain stealthily and glanced out quickly.There was no one in the corridor, and the doors and windows were closed, so no one would be watching her all the time... She looked around the door of her house, and finally came up with an idea.

After disposing of the baby, she fidgeted for a while in the house.The neighbors in this building are very noisy, talking, shuffling, slamming doors...even later, a woman shouted "Come on!" in the corridor without quality; The sound would startle her.

Fuck it, when I remarry, I can get out of this deep shithole.

The constant tension made her nerves exhausted. She sat upright for a while like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell asleep again in a daze.By the time she was awakened by a sound, it was almost evening outside.

The sound that woke her up was a knock on the door.

"Open the door!" someone shouted from outside. "We are your neighbors."

When they came, they found that the child was lost, but they didn't know that they had stolen it. They probably came to ask if they had seen any clues.As long as he can fool him this time, he won't even suspect her, right?
When she opened the door, she was taken aback.

The children and parents were missing from the people outside the door, but the other neighbors seemed to have arrived, and the sorceress Elizabeth stood at the front.At a glance, she felt that they seemed to have reached a consensus and came to her door together for the same reason—she calmed down and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Barbecue Hu," Elizabeth whispered, "Bu Xiang told me that the baby is here with you."

　I was too tired some time ago, and it seems that my immunity has weakened as a result. I have caught a cold these two days... I am really sorry everyone...
