Is the Summoner going to be a human today? [Comprehensive British and American]

"You are obviously... the same as me, but why, you were not punished?"

Across the small table, Carrie, whose hands and feet were bound, asked doubtfully and timidly.

On the side of the interrogation room, Bruce, who had been silent and stared at Carrie White's movement, twitched his jaw suddenly, while Constantine, who was sitting on the table, took a big puff of a cigarette and rolled his eyes.

On the side of the interrogation room, facing the girl's embarrassed and shrinking face, Eudora took a deep look at Carrie:

"How are we the same? Why should I be punished?"

Carrie fell silent again.

The girl clenched her fingers tightly and rubbed them uneasily for a long time. Under Yudora's calm gaze, she plucked up her courage and said in a trembling voice:

"...Because, because we are all witches."

And the witch should have gone to hell and received the most severe punishment.

Carrie White felt like a witch.

Her distorted thinking comes from her mother. It can be said that all the tragedies in her life come from her mother.

Before Eudora walked into this room, she had read the information of this poor girl before her death.

According to Batman and BAU's investigation, they found that Carrie White's mother, Margaret White, was a sick and crazy fundamentalist who believed that women were inherently sinful.

Pregnancy is a sin, and contact with the opposite sex is also a sin. Even a girl's menstrual period is a curse of God's blood, and a child born out of wedlock is a sinful seed born of filth.

With such a pathological control freak mother, one can imagine what Carrie White suffered from childhood.

What's more, she was originally a mutant with the ability to control objects with her mind. Once this ability was revealed, it further confirmed Margaret's belief and made her mother even more convinced that Carrie was a witch.

Obviously, under Margaret's long-term education, Carrie's world view has gradually been distorted. She learned about Eudora's family from Lilian, and learned about Eudora's abilities through the Mad Hatter. into extreme confusion.

She couldn't figure it out.

Obviously, they are all girls born to mothers who were unmarried.

Obviously, they all have evil magic power.

Obviously, they were all hated by the classmates in the school.

But why would it be different?

Sadness and despair hit her heart at the same time. Carrie looked at Eudora with dull eyes, as if she was asking for help, but also as if she was crying silently. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her nails stabbed hard into her palms, dripping with blood.

A pair of very warm hands suddenly tightly grasped the ghost's ice-like fingers, and opened her fist bit by bit.

"Yes, I am the same as you."

Stretching out her hand and firmly grasping Carrie's whitish fingers to stop her self-harm, Eudora simply followed Carrie's words and asked with a heavy heart:

"We are all the same, since I can live like this, why can't you?"

"No! You are not me!"

As if being scalded by Eudora's temperature, Carrie flinched and withdrew her hand, stumbled and fell to the ground, curled up to the corner of the wall while struggling.

"do not come near me!"

She screamed in fear, and the magic power in her body floated unsteadily again. Under the effect of this magic power, all the furniture and furnishings in the room began to shake and tremble unsteadily.

Carrie White was terrified, her soul seemed to be split in two in pain, one half was asking for help with hope, and the other half was humble and desperately repenting.

"You don't understand, Eudora, even you don't understand..."

The ghost spoke incoherently, she shivered shivering in the corner of the wall, a faint bloody light appeared around her, cracks began to appear on all the walls and floors around her.

The special alarm in the house suddenly sounded.

"Eudora, come back!"

Bruce, who was guarding the interrogation room, warned in a deep voice, and Constantine kicked and smashed the single-sided glass connecting the rooms on both sides, and broke through.

The sound of glass shattering exploded, and the appearance of the two men made Carrie even more frightened, and she screamed more and more terrified.

In this terrifying scream, Eudora, who was closest to Carrie, only felt the red light around Carrie rushing towards her, and the whole world suddenly fell into darkness and silence.

Seems like a century.

It seemed to be in an instant.

All the sounds in her ears disappeared, and when the surrounding darkness disappeared again, Yudora opened her eyes again and found herself in a strange room.

This room is old-fashioned, obviously a girl's bedroom, with floral wallpapers, thick curtains covering the windows, and only a dim chandelier in the room, which looks extremely gloomy. On one side of the bookshelf, there is a stack of books High school textbooks, and a thick Bible.

Even though she came to such an unfamiliar environment inexplicably, Yudora was still extremely calm.

She stood on the spot and took a few deep breaths, looked around suspiciously, and soon realized that something was wrong with her.

——She is definitely not "Eudora Hardy" now.

Although Fist No. 1 can still be contacted, the body she is currently manipulating is not her own body from any angle. According to her judgment, this body is only eleven or twelve years old.

There is no mirror in the closed room, and there is no such thing as a photo album that can prove identity. Just as Yudora was about to open the door of this bedroom tentatively, the wooden door was pushed back from the outside.

Just as Yudora made a defensive move, a tall, well-dressed middle-aged woman appeared at the door, with a serious expression on her face, and casually told Yudora:

"The garbage truck is coming, go and collect all the garbage and deliver it on time."

As soon as these words came out, Yudora did not reply, but a strong feeling of fear suddenly emerged from this body.Before Yudora could even control herself, she heard "myself" say:

"Okay, mother."

After all, this body seemed to be controlled by another consciousness. It mechanically walked out of the bedroom, packed up and cleaned up all the garbage in the room, and sent it outside.

When passing through the corridor, Yudora finally saw the whole picture of "herself" from the only mirror near the corridor.

Heavy shabby clothes, disheveled blond hair, thin face, dark eyes.

... This is Carrie White as a child.

In a daze, she allowed "myself" to send all the garbage outside the door, and Yudora stood at the intersection in front of her house waiting for the garbage truck. She was in a complicated mood for a long time before she accepted this fact.

This is Carrie White's spiritual world.

The burst of red light just now directly pulled her in, into her memories.

Who said that Carrie White only has the ability to control her mind?

The burst of red light that emerged from Carrie's body just now could actually bring her into her spiritual world and become "Carrie White"? ?

Finally figured out that she is now the "Carrie White" when she was 12 years old, the corner of Eudora's mouth twitched for a long time, and suddenly remembered the words that this girl yelled at herself in despair when she lost control.

Leaving aside the question of how to leave here, she appeared here now, reliving her life as "Carrie White". Perhaps it was because Carrie wanted to be able to understand her life?

Thinking of this, Eudora temporarily let go of the idea of ​​leaving this body and returning to reality (it is relatively easy with Fist No. 1 and the release equipment), and began to play the role of "Carrie Carrie" in earnest. White".

It was also at the moment when her mentality changed, this body that was completely uncontrollable suddenly became able to be controlled by Eudora herself at will.

Eudora: ...

It seems that she guessed it right!

The house where Carrie and her mother lived was located in the suburbs of Gotham, far away from the urban area. Although the place was relatively remote, fortunately it was relatively quiet and the living order was relatively standard.

Eudora didn't wait long before a garbage truck ushered in. She sent all the garbage there. After watching the garbage truck go away, she suddenly saw a boy about her age standing on the street across the road.

At this moment, the boy looked at her as if he was looking at an animal that had escaped from its cage in a zoo, and even had a hint of doubt.

Noticing the boy's sizing up, Yudora raised her head naturally and exchanged a glance with the boy.

"do not want!"

The moment Eudora looked up, the voice of 19-year-old Carrie White suddenly rang in Eudora's ears, "Don't look up at him!"

As soon as the voice came out, Eudora was almost scared to death by Carrie. She shook her whole body, immediately lowered her head subconsciously, and glanced at the direction of the voice in surprise:

"Carrie?"

There was nothing around her, and there was no one. Only Carrie White's voice continued to echo in her ears, saying extremely anxiously:

"Don't look at that boy, and don't look at him! Go back! Go back!"

Just from this sentence, Eudora knew that in this spiritual world, Carrie had been watching her.

She sighed helplessly in her heart, so she had no choice but to ignore the boy's scrutiny, turned around and walked towards the house, asking Carrie beside her:

"Why can't you look at other people? Why can't you look at the boy just now? You two have enmity?"

Carrie made no answer.

Eudora returned to "home" with a head full of question marks, and just after she closed the door, she saw "Mother" Margaret standing by the window with a still serious face.

...The next second, Eudora finally knew why Carrie stopped her in such a panic just now.

Because this seemingly normal, dignified and virtuous "mother" suddenly changed her face the moment she saw her close the door.

In an instant, Margaret looked at Eudora with an extremely ferocious look, with disgust and disgust all over her face, as if she saw something dirty, and she didn't know where she took it to dry it. The iron frame of the clothes rushed towards Yudora like crazy, and beat her with the iron frame as soon as he raised his hand.

Eudora:! ! ?

What are you doing?

She just went out to throw a trash, and looked at a boy for less than half a second!

The result was that he was brutally beaten when he returned home?

The slender and hard hanger fell mercilessly on the little girl's back, arms and thighs, leaving a series of bloodstains.

Margaret even kicked the girl's calf and abdomen with high heels. She beat her daughter like crazy and cursed shrilly:

"You dare to hook up with a man just for a short while outside the house? Why do you continue to make mistakes with such an unclean existence? God will not forgive you!"

In other words, it was she, Margaret, who was punishing "unclean existence" on behalf of God's will.

Because she was in Carrie's spiritual world, it was impossible for Eudora to use her abilities, and she didn't plan to leave Carrie's spiritual world now, so she was beaten up by Margaret for no reason.

With more and more fierce curses and wounds appearing on her body, Yudora could clearly feel some kind of fear and pain from the soul.

——Obviously, Carrie's awe of her mother has been engraved in her bones, and she can't get rid of it no matter what.

"Hurry up and hold your head."

At this time, Carrie White's voice rang in Eudora's ears again, and she repeated several times anxiously and anxiously:

"Admit your mistake if you can't bear it! Otherwise, she will keep beating you and lock you in the prayer room."

Facing this advice, Yudora not only did not implement it, but immediately grasped the point.

"You were often beaten by your mother like this when you were young? Did she not only beat you, but also locked you in the prayer room?"

Hearing this, Carrie's voice faltered suddenly, and she faltered.

"Actually...my mother hasn't always treated me like this!"

Carrie reluctantly wanted to defend Margaret, "I was wrong, I forgot to tell you, don't go out casually, even if you go out, don't contact men, I am an unclean witch, I can't do it again guilty of obscenity."

Is it a crime to have contact with a man?

Going out casually is breaking the rules?

A 12-year-old girl is going to be beaten like this just by looking at the boy next door?

Yudora suddenly swallowed a mouthful of raging anger, and her whole body was about to explode.

Under Carrie's constant persuasion, Eudora not only failed to apologize to Margaret, but instead escaped flexibly with a donkey rolling over under Margaret's violent beating.

Carrie:! !

If the ghost had a physical body now, Eudora could clearly see the stunned and extremely surprised expression on Carrie White's face.

It turns out... under the punishment of mother, can he still escape?

But in this way, isn't mother even more angry?

"Don't do this, mother will really be angry!"

Seeing the increasingly distorted scowl on Margaret's face, Carrie was obviously terrified, "She'll lock you up! She'll keep you locked up!"

Since Carrie was very young, whenever she had the idea of ​​rebelling against Margaret, Margaret would keep her in the small, unlit prayer room in the house, without giving her food, Do not give her water.

Every time she would cry and recite prayers desperately, until her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't speak at all, her mother would force her out.

As time passed, Carrie no longer dared to have the idea of ​​resisting Margaret, for she was afraid of being locked up again.

Knowing the inhuman abuse she suffered as a child from Carrie's intermittent persuasion, Eudora took a deep breath and gave Margaret a cold look.

In her heart, with a rare solemn tone, she said to Carrie who was about to cry:

"If she wants to lock you up, then you should run out!"

After all, Eudora doesn't care what Carrie thinks, relying on years of running experience and training skills, while avoiding Margaret's violent beating, she moved her short legs and borrowed the sofa in the living room. Blocked by the coffee table and the coffee table, he began to circle around with Margaret consciously.

Relying on the child's petite stature, she sometimes ran behind the sofa, knocked down the floor lamp, and got under the coffee table again, relying on her excellent positioning so that Margaret couldn't catch up.

Eudora: Watch me, King Qin, walk around the pillars!

I'm up, I'm leaving, I just keep you out of reach, what can you do with me?

If you can't hit it, you just can't hit it, just a little bit, it will kill you!

Carrie: ...

Margaret: ...

Carrie White is cowardly, timid, and humble. Under the long-term teaching of her mother, she lived an extremely depressed life. She dared not resist and could only walk into the abyss step by step.

However, Eudora is not Carrie.

"Now I'm you, right?"

While nimbly sliding Margaret around and jumping up and down the whole room, Eudora even had the energy to say to the stunned Carrie:

"You asked me why the two of us are different...that's my answer."

If it were me, I would do it.

- Fuck her!

Probably never thought that "Carrie White" could resist her mother so resolutely and abnormally. Carrie White, who witnessed this scene, was speechless and shocked, while her mother, Margaret, could be said to be Furious.

"Sure enough, you are indeed possessed by Xie Chong! I knew it, I knew it!"

The middle-aged woman holding the iron clothes hanger stared at the completely wrong "Carrie" with a pale face, talking to herself for a long time, then suddenly threw away the iron clothes hanger, went to the kitchen and pulled out a kitchen knife.

The cold light of the blade reflected on Margaret's expressionless face, revealing a strange ferocity. She waved the sharp knife in her hand and pointed it at Eudora in the living room.

"Don't be afraid, Carrie, it's okay, you were bewitched by the devil."

There was a strange gentle smile on the woman's face, coupled with her crazy tone and the movement of holding a knife, she looked like a paranoid lunatic:

"Don't be afraid, come here, mother will help you, and mother will get rid of all the devils in you."

A huge fear that came from the soul and was engraved in the bone suddenly burst out from this "body" manipulated by Eudora.

At this moment, Margaret, holding a knife and smiling gently, seems to have involved Carrie White's most painful and hard to let go of memories in her life. Every cell in her body is trembling, and every inch of her heart is on edge. Howling.

"Quick, run—"

With a crying voice, Carrie screamed loudly, and Eudora even felt that her "body" was out of breath for a while, her lungs hurt terribly, and a fishy-sweet blood emerged from her throat.

"She's going to kill you, she's really going to kill you! She's going to stab you hard with a knife—it hurts."

Facing the constant screams in her ears, feeling her whole body's hands and feet stiffened by excessive fear, instead of having the slightest intention of running away, Eudora subconsciously rushed towards Margaret. .

At the critical moment, she nimbly dodged the sharp knife that was about to land on her back, twisted her footsteps, passed Margaret directly, and rushed to the second floor. After looking around for a moment, she headed towards the small prayer room rushed in the direction.

Margaret followed closely behind. She raised her knife and followed Eudora's footsteps towards the small prayer room.

The moment this crazy woman came in front of Youdora, Youdora who had been waiting here for a long time stepped on the steps on one side and jumped up, grabbed a handful of incense ash from the incense bowl on the desk, and sprinkled it directly on the in Margaret's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the fact that the room was full of dust and Margaret was dazzled by the incense ash, Yudora jumped out, pushed Margaret into the prayer room, and closed the door with her backhand ! !

With a crisp "click", Eudora ignored the struggling Margaret in the prayer room, and locked the prayer room unceremoniously.

Just like Margaret did before Guan Jiali, this time, Yudora locked Margaret directly.

Carrie:? ? ?

She was completely overwhelmed.

Although when she was alive, when she was fully capable, she also used the power of the devil to lock her mother in the prayer room... But it is definitely not the current Margaret! !

She is only 12 years old now, and she has no ability to resist at all!

The most important thing is that the mother is still in a rage, she has confirmed that "Carrie" is possessed by a demon, once she is let out, then Eudora will die.

They couldn't keep their mother locked up in the prayer room all the time, could they?

"you're right."

Obviously feeling Carrie's bewildered mood, Eudora nodded very calmly.

"Of course I can't keep her locked in there forever."

"We certainly can't keep her locked up in the prayer room forever."

Carrie: "...she'll kill you when she comes out."

At this moment, Miss Phantom was in a state of confusion. She was shocked that Udora dared to resist her mother so boldly, and was also afraid that Udora would really be killed by Margaret. Her emotions were extremely complicated, and her mind went blank for a while. .

"What should I do? Mother is really angry, and it's too late to admit her mistake now! You can't resist her now! Why don't you let mother calm down? But she really won't let you go—what should I do? what to do!"

In desperation, Carrie was at a loss as to what to think.

Eudora is still very calm.

With Carrie's broken thoughts in her ears, and Margaret's curses and screams almost piercing the sky in the prayer room, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, trotted to the living room, picked up the phone, Take a deep breath - call the police!

"Hello? Is this the police station? I'm Carrie, White, I live at No. XX, District XX... Yes, I want to call the police. My mother Margaret White just wanted to kill me. Yes, please come quickly Help me!"

After saying these words in a helpless and crying tone as much as possible, and after hanging up the phone, Yudora said calmly:

"How can I fight against an adult by myself, of course I have to leave this kind of thing to professionals!"

Carrie: "........."

Unexpectedly, can you do this? ? ?

Influenced and educated by her mother's weird thoughts all the year round, Carrie didn't even know a girl's normal menstrual period, and she was expected to have some legal knowledge.

Therefore, she didn't know at all that serious domestic violence like her mother would be punished.

Although the Gotham police are fucked up, this kind of small domestic violence case is solved quite quickly. The police patrolling nearby almost immediately entered the door and arrested Margaret, who was locked in the prayer room and was still clamoring with a knife. It's right.

The wounds on Eudora's body, Margaret's own confession...as well as the neighbors' confessions, and the furnishings in the house were all taken to court as sufficient evidence.

Margaret, who was suspected of domestic violence, child abuse, and attempted murder, was sentenced to seven years in prison and was transferred to a mental hospital because of her poor mental state.

In just half a month, Carrie White watched Eudora go out to take out the garbage and then go home, from escaping Margaret's pursuit to locking her mother in the prayer room... and then flowing smoothly He called the police, testified, dealt with the police, lawyers and judges, and went to court as a witness... Fighting for the greatest rights as a 12-year-old child, and finally sent Margaret to prison decisively.

Carrie was stunned.

When all the dust settled, Eudora was escorted by several policemen back to the house that had carried her countless pains. Looking at the empty master bedroom, Carrie White, who had been holding back her tears, finally endured. Weeping silently and presumptuously.

It turned out that at that time, she only needed to make a phone call, and really only needed a little courage to ask the outside world for help, and she would be completely different.

If she had been as brave as Eudora back then, if she hadn't been submissive then, would all the nightmares...wouldn't have ended long ago?

During her lifetime, she dreamed of getting rid of her mother's shackles, but she was unsuccessful until her death.

In the end, it was only with the help of Udora's power, and it was really only realized once in this dream.

An indescribable shame and shame struck Carrie's nerves fiercely. Looking at the calm and tough Eudora, recalling her doubts about Eudora before, deep grievances, regrets and shame surged up at the same time. .

It's all her fault.

She is too useless, she is too incompetent.

"I'm really useless, Dora."

Carrie murmured, "If I were like you . . . if I could be like you then—"

Perhaps, the ending is completely different.

Tommy won't die, Sue's children won't lose their father, and their mother... won't be killed by her.

"Then you can think too much."

Eudora locked all the doors, and said seriously, "I think after I really experienced your life, I think what you said at that time was correct."

While speaking, Eudora was very embarrassed, and her hand moved up to the void in the direction of Carrie's speech, as if trying to grab Carrie's soul.

"sorry."

she says.

"At that time, I asked you why you couldn't live like me. I was wrong. I shouldn't ask you with my own standards. I don't know what you have suffered. I'm sorry."

She was able to get rid of Margaret White's oppression so quickly, and she was able to solve the nightmare of Carrie's life in just half a month, not because of how powerful she was, nor because she was skilled and experienced... …

Rather, she was not Margaret's daughter at all.

A daughter's attachment and trust to her mother is innate. From birth, the person who is closest and most wants to be close to every child will always be the mother.

Wanting to be recognized by the mother, wanting to become like the mother while growing up, accepting the edification and education of the family all the time... Everyone grows up like this.

It's just that Carrie's mother doesn't deserve to be called a mother.

Under the influence and education of such a sick and paranoid lunatic, it is not easy for her to grow up healthy and healthy. How can she ask Carrie to have the courage to resist?

No one is Carrie, no one grew up being beaten and oppressed by Margaret, and no one knows how difficult it is for Carrie White to see such an "ordinary" resistance .

In other words, everyone knew how to help her. Perhaps everyone only needed to call the police from the perspective of a bystander, and with a slight push... Carrie could be saved.

Unfortunately, there was no one.

No one rescued her.

"We are different."

Eudora said with shame and discomfort, "To a certain extent, I am luckier than you. I have never met a mother like Margaret, so I am not qualified to judge you."

Tears blurred Eudora's vision, and she didn't know whether it was the emotions inherent in this body or her own empathy.

"Sorry, I didn't know you existed at that time."

"I didn't rush over to hold you when you needed help the most... I'm really sorry, is it still too late?"

Hot tears fell heavily on Yudora's raised palm.

One, another.

As the teardrops fell, in the empty midair, Carrie White's figure finally slowly emerged.

The pale and thin girl's face was full of tears, and her cheek was clinging to Eudora's open palm like attachment, crying out of breath.

She finally waited for someone who could save her.

Two years after her death, she finally got this "I'm sorry".

Eudora stretched out her hand in a sigh, and Carrie White threw herself into the arms of the girl who was the same age as her, hugged her tightly, and let the tears smear on her skirt wantonly.

"Your mother wouldn't... treat children like that, would she?"

Burying her head deeply into Eudora's arms, Carrie hiccupped from crying and said aggrievedly.

Eudora: ………
