Schizophrenia

Chapter 30 An Inescapable Escape

"Why?" After a long silence, Selena asked, "Why did you bury him?" Selena couldn't understand how much Bruce valued his brother who had no blood.She knew that the magician was also very aware of this matter, otherwise it would be impossible to talk to her calmly outside Wayne's house.

"Even you don't believe me?" The magician turned his head and looked at Selena with a calm expression, "Bruce's younger brother has been buried. He fell asleep under the black soil. Who is standing in front of you now, a wronged soul?" Or is it a ghost, is it really that important?"

"I don't know either." Selena was disturbed by the magician's question, "To be honest, I don't know what you went through, Jack. But you have to believe that Bruce really loves you. Those days when Wayne lived together in the house are not fake, and it is true that he has not given up looking for you now."

"But, I saw my tombstone with my own eyes." The magician's voice trembled, "Looking at him telling that tombstone that he will never come again. Said that the dead are gone, may the dead rest in peace." Looking at the tombstone He still couldn't forget how he felt when he was standing in the woods and heard these words.

"He let me rest in peace..."

"Is there any accident among you? When did you come back? I mean, the future?" Selena was still a little uncomfortable to mention that the other party came from the future, "Maybe Bruce knew that the magician was you from the future, And then witnessed the death of the magician during this period of time? What the hell!" he said so that he was confused.

"He doesn't know." The magician was silent for a moment, "At that time he was only 21 years old, and he imprisoned me for three full years. During these three years, I couldn't eat or dress well, and he beat and scolded me every day. .My father also ignored me, until one day he went on a long trip and asked me what I wanted, and I said I would touch the first branch of his hat."

The magician turned his head and watched Selena biting her lip, with a caring look, slowly lowered her head and shoulders began to tremble.Selena heard uncontrollable gasps, like sobbing.Just when Selena was about to comfort the magician, she heard the other party's uncontrollable laughter.

The laughter became louder and louder, and finally the magician squatted on the wall, clutching his stomach and laughing: "Hahaha, I can't do it anymore, your expression Selena, you actually believe it... Hahaha, you I really believed in such a bloody plot, hahaha, let me slowly..."

"What?" Selena was so dazed that she couldn't react.

"I said, little kitty, do you think I'm stupid?" The magician grinned back to his normal smile, but his voice was a little hoarse because of the loud laugh just now, "I'll tell you about his future, how about marrying him? Shy~" He twisted his body as he spoke, as if he was really embarrassed.

Selena looked at the magician with a little anger in her eyes.

"But the little kitty cares about her, she's still super happy~" Chopping his throat, the magician squatted on the wall waiting to look at Selena with an obedient baby's eyes, if it wasn't for his face Eight's knife marks will be more aesthetically pleasing, "As a reward, let's make a promise with your body~"

The way Selina looked at the magician already tended to look at a psychopath.To be precise, she is looking at a psychopath, but she has been avoiding this question all the time: "You are too much!" Selena's voice was full of anger, "Jacob, you are too much."

"What do you want to tell me?" Shrugged, sat down on the fence and continued to look at the yard, "You are the one who is fooled, and you are the one who is self-indulgent. It is you who choose to believe my story, and voluntarily wade into this journey The muddy water is also you. Selena, sometimes staying out of the matter is the best decision."

"What do you want to say, why not just say it!" Selena sneered and stood up, looking down at the magician.

"I want to say, next time, chop off your hand~" The magician turned his head and gave Selena a gentle smile, "Speaking of which, have you heard the story of Icarus? I know you haven't. , Considering that you haven't even heard the story about Snow White just now~" He hummed happily.

"Once upon a time, the king gave birth to a daughter. His queen died and married a stepmother with a magic mirror. The stepmother asked who is the most beautiful woman in the world? Answer, Elora. So she locked Bell in the cascading In the maze, the clever little princess made a pair of wings for herself and her lover, and spread them high. But his son Icarus flew so high that his wings melted and he fell into the sea..."

"I'm sure you've told me more than one fairy tale." Selena said with a chuckle, "To tell you the truth, go to Arkham to see a doctor!"

"Arkham can't hold me, my little princess~" the magician happily hummed a song, Selena had never heard of this song, but the lyrics made her a little creepy: "

Ten little Jacks go out to eat, one chokes to death, and there are nine left.

(Tenlittle Jackswent outtodine, Onechoked hislittleself, andthentherewerenine.)

Nine little Jacks stayed up late, one overslept and there were eight.

(Twolittle Jacks sitting in the sun, One got frizzled up, and then there was one.)

A little Jack felt so lonely, there was no one left after he hanged himself.

(One little Jack living all one, Hewent and hung himself, and then there were one.)”

The magician's voice was very brisk, not at all like he was humming a murderous song.Selena watched the magician beside her insert her name into the nursery rhyme, and she was even happier. She couldn't help but feel a little creepy: "Little Jack felt so lonely, so he decided to hang himself. Now there is no Jack left~"

The magician repeated the last sentence, and then chuckled: "There is not one left~"

Selena watched the magician open his mouth, but finally said nothing.It was getting late, and Selena was stuck on time, feeling that if she dragged on, it would be too late.She had come to find the magician because she had something to do, but she was entrusted by this guy and almost forgot about her business.

"Your brother, it seems that Hugo Strange has been found to be abnormal. He wants me to go to Arkham to take a look." Selena tugged at her hat, "It seems that your subordinates are looking for you for something. Boy, you've been on strike for days! So, now you go back to the base and take care of your business, and keep an eye on your brother, okay?"

"Arkham?" The magician looked up at Selena in a daze, as if he heard something unbelievable, "Are you going to Arkham?" After a pause, "You want to invite me to Arkham?" ?”

"I have this plan, but you don't want to go." Selena patted her face, looked up at the position of the sun in the sky, "So, I won't ask why you don't want to go to Arkham, and I won't invite you You went to Arkham. I can handle this by myself, see you later." Saying that, he jumped off the high wall.

"Selena, you just said, what did Bruce ask you to do?" The magician didn't look back, but just stared at Wayne's villa.

"He said that Hugo Strange found a way to bring the dead back to life," Selina, whose back was facing the magician, didn't notice that the magician shuddered when he heard this, "He wants me to go Look, so does my friend Bridget." Facing the magician, Selena was blunt in many things.

"Aha, Firefly," the magician chuckled, turned his head and glanced at Selena who was running far away, and made a motion of throwing a basketball towards Selena's back, "Whew~" amused himself , until Selena's back completely disappeared, the magician's smile faded from his face.

Turning his head to look at Wayne Manor, the magician hummed the nursery rhyme he sang before again: "No Jack survived..."

The author has something to say:

Ten little niggers go out to eat, one chokes to death and there are nine left. (Tenlittleniggerboyswentouttodine,Onechokedhislittleself,andtherewerenine.)

This is a nursery rhyme quoted in Agatha Christie's novel "And There Were None", at first it seemed to be the nursery rhyme of Mother Goose?

But to be honest, the three episodes of the 15 British TV series "And There Were None" were well filmed, and the original work is also great.

The lyrics were changed in the article and then borrowed.
