Chapter 10 Betrayal
Kelly gulped down the fresh oysters as an appetizer, showing a satisfied expression, without any scruples about her ladylike image.Then she moved on to mackerel with sour cream.

And Eric just stared at the food on the plate, lost in thought.

Kelly held the oily fork in her hand and shook it in front of him: "Hey, although I know that you are suffering from various problems now, even if you want to break your head here, it won't help, you are hungry There’s nothing you can do.”

Eric was still staring at the salmon roll in front of him, and replied unconsciously, "Maybe you're right."

Kelly sighed: "I said."

Before she could finish speaking, Eric stood up suddenly as if on a spring, startling her.

"Sorry, I have something to go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

After leaving this sentence, he quickly left the restaurant without waiting for Kelly to respond.

Although the rain had stopped, the air outside was still cold, and the night wind almost seemed to pierce his bones, stimulating his brain to stay awake.He walked towards the villa where Augustine lived along the road he walked during the day, feeling indescribably irritated.

He had a hunch that Augustine might tell him most of what he wanted to know, many of which he might not be ready to accept.He thought wildly along the way, and returned to the old villa before he knew it.

At this moment, the night has completely fallen, and there is hardly any light source next to the villa in the remote suburbs.The huge duplex building is like a monster with teeth and claws, surrounded by countless waist-high weeds, it looks extremely terrifying.

Eric came to the door, knocked lightly, and was surprised to find that the door was not closed.

Thinking of the horrified look on Augustine's face when he came to the door, and the sound of the chain being locked when the door was finally closed heavily, he instinctively felt that something might have happened.

Gently pushing the door open, there was a little light reflected on the corridor floor at the door, which was the light from the chandelier in the living room.Eric walked softly into the house and found the slovenly Mr. Augustine Nicotin—or rather, his body—in the living room.

Matt Augustine was still wearing that ridiculous pajamas, his whole figure was hung under a chandelier like a big sandbag, his face was distorted and deformed due to suffocation.The gloomy light cast the corpse's shadow on the white wall, and it changed shape as the corpse rotated, making it look particularly terrifying.

Why did Augustine hang himself?Could it be that Eric's arrival drove some changes that made him so afraid that he had to escape with death?Or someone shot him to death, and then pretended to commit suicide to cover his eyes and ears?

In any case, the mystery that was to be unraveled was buried under the water with the death of this man.Just thinking about it made Eric feel a little upset.He had a feeling that he was being watched at any time, as if he was a train moving along the track arranged by someone, and the clue was cut off just before he came into contact with the truth.Maybe it's not a coincidence, maybe his whereabouts have been watched and so on.

He noticed something, a crucial detail that he hadn't noticed when he first came in.

Could it be that.
The wind outside the window was getting louder and louder, and the branches beat desperately on the old window, as if they were about to break through the window.

From the time Eric left to the time he returned to the restaurant, it took about three to ten minutes.When he returned to the table, Kelly had finished eating and was fiddling with her mobile phone in boredom.

"Where did you go? So slow?" She complained with some dissatisfaction, "I thought you just dropped me back to Manhattan without saying a word. What's wrong with you?"

She noticed that Eric looked strange, even full of hostility, like a cold steel knife.

"Matt Augustine is dead," he said coldly.

"Ah! How could it be?"

"The game is over." Eric said coldly, "Did you kill it?"

Kelly was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

"When you said you were going to find a hotel to rest in the afternoon, you were not in the room at all, were you? You just killed him to find a chance to get out of my sight, that's all. When we found Augustine in the morning, I thought his frightened look was because he was afraid of seeing me, afraid of being dragged into trouble by me, or afraid of recalling something from the past, but it was not like that at all. In fact, he didn't recognize who I was at that time, so in Later, when I reported my name, he looked at me with surprise in his eyes."

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, you are the one he is afraid of, right? He recognized you at a glance, and he knew who you were."

Kelly completely gave up her disguise, and burst out laughing.

"Yeah, yeah, that idiot knows it's useless to run away anyway. It's better to say that once he tries to run away, he's dead." Kelly said in a relaxed tone, her demeanor was like that of a scheming conspirator from an innocent schoolgirl. A 180-degree turn, "But this old idiot thought I didn't notice the whisper in your ear. It's a pity that my hearing is also very good. The old man could have lived a few more years, he knew Some things might be useful to us later. The only condition we kept him alive was not to tell anyone, and the old idiot still couldn't help but talk to you, so I had to kill it. But I still have a little An incomprehensible thing, how did you notice it was mine?"

"Perfume smell." Eric said coldly, "I'm sorry, my nose is also very good. The old man's house obviously hasn't been a guest for many years, and the scene obviously shouldn't smell like a woman's perfume .”

"Ha, you're really clever, Charlotte~"

Eric clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Who the hell are you?"

"As you know, Kelly Samir," she said, "this identity is genuine. Until last year, I was indeed an ordinary high school girl, your classmate. But it's thanks to you Give it, just because I am the only one who is closer to you, so they will pull me into the gang, turn me into what I am today, and put me by your side to monitor you at all times."

"'This day'?" Eric caught a word sharply.

"Yeah. It's like this!"

As soon as the words fell, that beautiful face suddenly distorted.The back of her clothes was torn violently, and sharp tentacles burst out like blades, like a poisonous scorpion.
