If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Ward 1301 is a rare VIP independent ward in North-South Memorial Hospital. It is the size of a three-person ward but only has one bed. It has a spacious space, sunny lighting, LCD TV and air conditioning. Anyone who can afford this ward can afford it. Patients need to make appointments months in advance, but who can know their condition so early in the future? Therefore, wanting to stay in this ward naturally means that one is either rich or noble, and has status and influence.

Carlisle Cappe happened to have both, so she got the best ward on her first day at North and South Memorial Hospital. The public announcement was to avoid causing commotion in a multi-person ward. No one was surprised. Everything is so reasonable, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of preferential treatment. It is just like it is natural and should be like this. Her life should be so smooth. But.

Everything always has a but, and after the but it always means something bad is going to happen.

At 2:30 in the morning, Carlisle Cappe was dreaming while sleeping soundly in Ward 1301.

In the dream, she stood on the stage of the Academy Awards and gave a speech. The spotlights, spotlights, and all the attention fell on her. She was wearing a long dress and talked about the people she wanted to thank. She is grateful to the crew members of her award-winning film, she is grateful to her parents, she is grateful to the people who have helped her and supported her along the way, and to the people who have dedicated everything to her current achievements.

The audience burst into applause, and the presenter handed the statuette to her. She raised the statuette with one hand and showed the happiest and brightest smile in her life.

At this time, Carlisle Cappe suddenly noticed that there was a particularly dazzling light under the stage. The light was different from the white of the spotlight, but more like the warm yellow of the street lights in the night scene, and the lazy gold of the sunset, bathing him inch by inch. But she didn't feel warm because of it. On the contrary, the light made her feel extremely piercing, as if she had fallen into an ice cave for an instant.

Carlisle Cape couldn't help but try her best to see the source of the golden light. The more she tried to focus her sight, the more unstable her dream became. When she really saw the source of the golden light, she had already opened her eyes in reality.

In ward 1301, a beautiful girl was sitting beside the hospital bed, peeling an apple. The sharp dagger was pressed against the peel like a lover's kiss, and the apple peel kept falling down in circles.

Seemingly noticing that Carlisle Cape was awake, the beautiful girl raised her head and looked at her with her blazing golden eyes and said with a faint smile: "Are you awake? It seems like you had a good dream. "

In the hazy state, Carlisle Cape subconsciously wanted to scream, but when she glanced at the door of the dim ward from the corner of her eye, she suddenly lost all her strength.

There, two strong bodyguards fell in a pool of blood, their necks as ugly as straws twisted by children. The air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood, and the factor of fear filled the entire room.

"It was a bit of a hindrance for them to stay outside, so I let them sleep a little longer." The girl peeled the apple slowly and said: "Don't think about pressing the paging button at the nurse station. I know what you want to do now. I know very well what the consequences will be if you do that, but I guarantee you won’t like that ending.”

Carlisle Capet was stunned. She lay stiffly on the hospital bed and looked at this harmless and beautiful girl. She couldn't believe that the other party had done all this: "What do you want to do?"

If a man appears in the room, then it is self-evident what will happen next, but sitting next to the hospital bed is a girl, a girl who is a bit more beautiful than Carlisle Capet herself. This made it impossible for her to guess what would happen next.

"Convince me." The girl lowered her head and peeled the apple and said calmly.

"What did you say?" Carlisle Cappe suppressed his desire to scream and his voice was trembling.

"Convince me." The girl repeated, looking up at Carlisle Cappe calmly: "Give me a reason not to kill you."

"I" Carlisle Cappe was looking at those golden eyes as if a big hand was strangling her throat. The feeling of suffocation and panic exploded instantly. Her ears began to ring in the ears and her heartbeat accelerated to a dangerous level. , my mind was filled with confusion.

"It seems you don't know why I'm here." The girl turned the dagger in her hand, and the brilliance reflected from the pupil of the knife tip illuminated a shining golden light spot in the dark ward, swaying across Carlisle Cape's frightened face from time to time. : "Here's a tip for you, Wendy Hathaway, remember?"

Wendy Hathaway?

Carlisle Cappe stared hard at the girl's face. She thought the name belonged to the other person. After a few seconds of frantic recall, she unfortunately could not think of any acquaintances. She had never seen this girl before.

"It seems you forgot." The girl was a little disappointed. She cut off half of the apple and handed it to Carlisle Cape's mouth. He opened his mouth slightly in a daze, and allowed the half of the apple to be stuffed in, revealing half of the apple. Outside: "Have you ever heard the story of a dove occupying a magpie's nest?"

"In nature, there is a bird called the red-footed falcon. This bird often takes over magpie nests, squeezes the magpie eggs out of the nest one by one, breaks them, and then lays its own eggs to hatch baby birds." The girl. Say: "Did you remember anything after hearing this story?"

Carlisle Cappe was still in panic. The girl looked at her quietly for a while and sighed: "Let me give you a hint. Ten years ago, there was the Golden Elephant Stage Performance Competition."

Carlisle Cappe was stunned.

The girl smiled slightly at her expression: "It seems like you remembered something."

Carlisle Cape spit out the apple in his mouth and shouted in horror: "You are her family? It is illegal for you to do this! Do you have any accomplices? You killed someone!"

"Ten years ago, Carlisle Cappe, the winner of the Golden Elephant Stage Performance Competition, won a ticket to enter Hollywood. He was favored by major directors and became a household name." The girl cut a piece of apple and ate it herself and said: "The first place should not be yours. The person behind you contacted the competition team and expelled the original first place Wendy Hathaway from the competition, thus usurping her honor." The girl said flatly. .

"You killed people just for that thing? That thing? It was just a game, are you crazy?" Carlisle Cappe finally remembered the old incident that had been forgotten in the corner of his memory.

"Then let me tell you that that performance competition was devoted to a girl's expectations for her entire life. However, her expectations were usurped by others, so the girl who lost her life chose to hang herself at home. Do you feel guilty?" the girl asked calmly.

"It's none of my business."

"Of course it's none of your business." The girl shrugged.

"It's none of your business! Who are you to her? What are you going to do to me, uh, to me?" Carlisle Cappe said, his breathing quick and uneasy.

"Me? I'm just a person who is looking for guys like you all over the world." The girl said softly: "I have killed many people like you, and each of them is a shameless predator like you, ACT , SAT scores, competition awards, honors, work, and even the whole life, you are not special to me, you are just one of those miscellaneous things. I have been paying attention to you for a long time, and you happened to appear in my sight again. "

The girl licked her fingers stained with apple juice: "Every time I think about the existence of people like you in the world, it makes me sick. You are all executioners no less than me. You tear off other people's faces and wear them to enjoy what others deserve. Honor, usurping another person's entire life, how can people like you care about how the person whose face you have torn off can continue to survive in this world?"

"It's none of my business that she committed suicide! It's not me who advised her to commit suicide!"

"You'd better not." The girl said coldly: "Do you think that girl hasn't tried to speak for herself? What did she get from going around? Three threatening phone calls and a dead cat at the door? Don't think I don't know you What have you done? Do you think your appearance can deceive others or me? I can smell your disgusting smell from a few meters away."

"Do you know how desperate she was for the world before she came up with the idea of ​​​​hanging herself? What were you doing at that time? To please a certain director in Hollywood? Brag to others about the honors you have received? Enjoy the popularity and success Your wonderful life?”

"What does this have to do with you?! Who are you? The police?" Carlisle Capet was almost driven crazy by the nightmare golden pupils, and the corpse at the door also made her nerves almost collapse and couldn't help but yell. : "You killed someone, you madman, a murderer."

"Police?" The light in the girl's eyes dimmed: "How could I be that kind of thing? As for those dead people? They are blocking my way."

"When I peel off the face of a bastard like you, I know what I have to do. People like you have a lot of power and financial resources, so someone is bound to stand in my way. There will always be someone to give those The people who have been ripped off by you have their voices, and I am the one who speaks for them. I will kill anyone who blocks my way." The girl's eyes were filled with violence.

Peel your face.

Carlisle Cape finally knew what the other party was going to do to her. She wanted to roar at the top of her lungs to attract attention, but the girl reached out and touched her throat. At this moment, she could no longer say anything.

Sitting on the chair, the girl looked at Carlisle Capet who was digging his throat and trying to make a sound and said softly: "I have killed eight people like you. They are all the same. They are beautiful, powerful, and different from what they are. , you all like to live with a mask, so you don’t hesitate to peel off other people’s faces. Like my last prey, a very beautiful girl, but who knew that she walked up on other people’s corpses along the way? ACT scores, Piano competition rankings, anything that could be taken away from her, she took away from those people, just for the talent and honor worthy of her face. So I also peeled off her face intact, that is my favorite After wearing it, you can see the real appearance of the world. No one will care about your true appearance under the appearance, so this is the reason why you 'face peelers' do whatever you want."

"Do you feel it?" the girl said with a faint smile: "Those who want to speak for themselves are like this now. Even if they yell heart-breakingly, they can't make any sound because you have told them to shut up. And I am the one who tells you to shut up. You can call me a madman, because I am indeed. Only madmen can scare you like you, and only monsters can make you shed tears of fear."

On the hospital bed, Carlisle Cappe realized that something terrible had happened to her. She wanted to beg for mercy but found that the girl had stood up and was holding the apple-peeling dagger in her hand.

"But do you think the monster will sympathize with you?" The girl put the dagger close to Carlisle Cape's face and her golden eyes were as blazing as fire: "The monster will only say: convince me, and then after watching your ugly performance, peel off your Face. If there is justice, then why didn’t justice appear when the mother of a girl in Kansas was beaten to death for complaining about her daughter’s ACT scores? , because for people like you, I am the righteous one!"

The girl stared at Carlisle Capet's frightened and frantic face with no expression at all.

She even felt that she was born for this. If there was no justice in the world, then she might as well become that justice. Anyway, when she gave up her original identity, she had already embarked on a road of no return.

If there is really justice in the world, then come and stop her!

But how can there be any justice in this world? Whatever you do, you have to do it yourself, whether it's murder or revenge.

If there had been justice, that mother in Kansas wouldn't have died because of this.

If there is justice, why can’t those innocent people who were deprived of their lives be able to speak out?

If there is justice and you think what you are doing is wrong, why don't you show up to show me now?

Just when the dagger was about to pierce the skin, someone outside the silent ward whispered:

"Two prisoners stood in front of the bars and looked out, one looked at the dirt, and the other looked up at the stars."

The girl's hand stopped.

She looked at the tearful woman in front of her expressionlessly, and the dagger in her hand was inserted deeply into the pillow and penetrated the bed board.

"What a delayed justice." The girl said softly.

She put away her angry heart and walked out of the room calmly.

When she saw the familiar boy outside for the first time, she lowered her eyes slightly and asked flatly in her heart - Do you want to hear a twists and turns story?

The other party's molten golden eyes gave her the answer in silence.

Forget it, she thought.

So the battle is about to break out.

ps: There should be more
