cross night

Strong people can only redeem themselves, and great people can save others.

"Let's deal with your injuries first."

Wood familiarly brought his companions to a small street that looked unremarkable. There was a shop between a CD shop with loud speakers and a barber shop with posters of beautiful women. Adam glanced at the English signboard and paused. .

"dentisit……"

"James is the only one who didn't get a dental license, but don't worry, his other skills pass the test."

What facts to prove?A group of punks who fight and make trouble all day long?Adam thought, and didn't care how his body was tossed.If his guess is correct, as the two worlds switch, there will be a "loophole" in the law of space, and he can use some prepared props.

Wood also had a loaded converted gun, so he accepted that pistol and two magazines in an obvious gesture of trust and friendliness.Adam didn't expect that Wood would have such a misunderstanding, he let go without nostalgia, it's just... It's just that he doesn't regard himself as a human being, so he doesn't need someone to accompany him.

An experimental animal, a state machine, and those eyes glowing coldly under the operating lamp told him so.

"Have you been hacked by someone from the underground casino, Xiuman!?" Seeing the silver-haired boy covered in blood, a bald man with tattoos on his forehead shouted.Adam made a note in his heart: the underground casino is really a wonderful and rich young life.Wood took off his jacket and pulled on an oversized T-shirt.

"Then I will confess you, and you still owe me five thousand dollars." He pushed Adam over, "Take care of my friend." James grinned awkwardly and looked at Adam suspiciously: "He did it in the Empire State Building ?” That brilliant blond hair, beautiful blue eyes, noble temperament, even wearing dirty and wrinkled clothes, looks like a fallen angel.

"Yes, an insurance salesman." Wood stopped James' intention to get to the bottom of it.

The doctor helped the blond young man who was said to be an insurance salesman to re-bandage, and walked out of the consultation room.The bad-behavior boy was walking around outside, alone, and the gloomy and violent smell appeared on him, like a caged beast.

"Your friend should be rolling on the bed in pain, and asked me for ecstasy to relieve the pain, but he actually crawled out of bed to use the computer as if he had never seen a woman before."

Wood frowned and walked in: "Hi, Your Majesty Adam, who feels like a paramecium, I'll go out and find some 'goods' for us - do you need dinner?"

"He needs sedatives and A. pills more!" the unlicensed doctor shouted outside.

"Shut your mouth." Wood ordered unceremoniously, a ray of emotion flashed in his eyes, "How about beef burgers and vegetable salad? What do you want for drinks?" Adam stared at him calmly. After a big fight, he almost lost his life. This guy can immediately think of the belly problem. Either his nerves are too thick and strong, or he is used to finding a balance in an abnormal life.

"Mineral water." This is the most economical option for people with only a modicum of taste.

"Hot black tea, you look sick to your stomach."

When Wood went out, James walked in with a look of surprise: "My God! This is the first time I see him caring about people. Nancy will be so happy to go to church! You are not a salesman, maybe a university lecturer?"

He will be a university lecturer in the future, although it doesn't look like it now-"Who is Nancy?"

"Uh..." James touched his head and went out.Adam expected that he would not dare to talk behind his creditor's back, he just told him to go.

Letting Wood concentrate on preparing for the battle is much safer than talking to him now and summoning Silent Hill again. Adam still needs some time to recover his strength.

After shutting down the broken computer in the clinic, Adam turned on the hyperspace networked computer modified from the Lord God's watch on his wrist. The information was entered, and the detailed satellite map of New York was displayed on the interface. He was surprised.

The entire world of Silent Hill was received and covered by Wood's powerful mind field. This "real world" was also created by him, but imagination would have blurred and distorted places, but this map matched Adam's memory, and it was accurate. That man What does a New York map do?

The smiling appearance of the silver-haired spiritual man clearly appeared in his mind, and Adam immediately erased it. He didn't need to recall Wood who was not an apostle.

Gathering his mind, he searched for information on Wood's life experience, but found nothing unexpectedly. The kid still refused to reveal his affairs and subconsciously hid them.

If Haotian is still in reality, there is no need for such trouble.

Adam suddenly remembered that black-haired boy who always laughed heartlessly. As the only surviving genetically modified experimental subject of the second generation, Haotian Sunshine was too much.He is not like Chu Xuan, who obviously possesses wisdom beyond ordinary people and still allows others to be locked up in a military base; nor is he like Adam who is obsessed with revenge and hates human beings inextricably. The task assigned to him by force is to have a long vacation and he will be so happy that there is no side to it. His life wish seems to be only spoken, to get rid of the fight between the two monsters as soon as possible and live a comfortable life.

Why... Adam clenched his fist unconsciously.

"Oh my God!" James rushed in like a mad cow, stammering and gasping for breath, "Zombies... living corpses... Resident Evil!"

What was that guy thinking about again?Adam kicked him away.

Outside the window, all kinds of shop nameplates are lit, like magical eyes in the flowing fog.There are strange shadows lingering in the street, increasing one after another.The door was knocked open, and a skinned monster rushed in howling, rolling on the ground in pain, continuously oozing pus and dirty blood, it seemed that it couldn't hurt anyone at all, but needed someone to shoot it.Silent Hill has never been short of such garbage monsters, but they are products of the inner world, and they have begun to invade the safe world, and the situation is very bad.

Adam looked at the mental detector, and there was a bright blue light point approaching. Thankfully, if Wood sank to the bottom of his mind, he couldn't be sure to bring him back.

At this time, another red dot appeared nearby, almost overlapping his position. Amidst James' screams, a limp monster quickly climbed down from the top of the wall. It was shaped like a sea lice, with soft Its body covered with silver film and a long tail, its streamlined body emits fluorescence, many small spines and tentacles protrude, drooping softly, it seems harmless, but Adam saw the thick hooked tentacles under its head, In the next second, it bounced over by violent stretching.

Snapped!Adam rolled to the side at the nick of time, and the sea louse knocked down two chairs and a cabinet, and the audio-visual tapes that fell out were scattered all over the floor, and the cracked walls were scattered with cement slag. James wailed again, more than before. miserable.

Using the tentacles to fix the body flexibly, the monster opened its huge umbrella-shaped mouthparts, and two bright orange light beams came in from the window, which was thrilling in the dark night.The sea louse was temporarily blinded, and the continuous submachine gun bullets smashed it into a honeycomb.

"James, hide in the cellar!" Wood arrived in a jeep, with the barrel sticking out of the car window, turning the steering wheel with one hand to stop, poking his head out, "Princess Adam, get in the car!"

Wood closed the door and rolled up the car window, his hands steady, though the mood was the same as the shattered world outside, full of screams, red blood, and catastrophic fear.

"You can go to church." Adam said softly, his tone was soft and sincere, with a hint of persuasion - probably learned in the laboratory, those creatures in white coats can always sincerely explain that they are for the greatness of science Progress - and then make you miserable.Wood's eyes became sharp for a moment, and he realized that his friend was not a person who let others go in a crisis out of good intentions.

In the game "Silent Hill 1", the church is the place where the cult summoned the angel of death, Samuel, and turned Silent Hill into a terrifying dreamland; in "Silent Hill 3", it is the heroine who faces the past and ends everything place of return.No matter which one is the key to solving the problem.Adam made a clever language inducement, pushing him into the countdown to destruction.

Silent Hill has begun to affect the real world, and the real world has people who are extremely important to him and must not be lost.If Adam hadn't lied, this was his Silent Hill, and he could have used the power of faith to protect them - imagine the Lord's protection, Nancy and Bob are both devout Christians.However, Adam mentioned that taboo term—the church, which opened the door of the black nightmare.Wood can't help wondering whether the monsters he created will hurt them, and whether the sacred meaning of the church has any effect-the more he doesn't want to think about it, the more he will think about it. This is a terrible inertia of thinking.

Adam reminded him, in the cruelest way, of sugar-coated poison.

Adam was taken aback by the young man's expression, and then he realized that when he announced those plans in the Celestial Team and secretly win over his forces, Wood's silence might not mean that he didn't notice—this man has always been so keen.

"Okay." Wood exhaled heavily, looked ahead, and drove up to 150 kilometers per hour, "There are two ways to find out the truth in the mud, one is to throw a bomb in and let it pop out; The other is to dive into the depths of the mud and get ready to sink in." Adam felt a chill that pierced his bones and reached his soul, and that feeling made his thinking stagnate and his soul freeze, as if he had suddenly fallen in front of a deep valley that he could not cross. This is a clear but profound moat that makes people despair.

"I know a guy who would choose the first option without hesitation."

"Oh? He's really crazy."

"Yeah——" This is the decisive difference between me and him.

It's not that Adam doesn't know how to smooth the distance between him and Chu Xuan, as long as he gives up a little bit of human nature in his heart: the hell-burning resentment, jealousy, and unstoppable persistence.

Why!I obviously came into this world because of you, and I was treated like a teaser by those human beings. Why can you not care about it and ignore me at all?You are a perfect treasure, the only one, flawless, no scar can be carved into your senseless heart, and it makes me look like an ironic joke.

There is also Haotian, who has received even more unfair treatment, but he can smile and play the world without taking it seriously.His physique is closer to that of a human than you and me, but his essence is the least human.Precisely because of this, he has an easier life than us.

Is it because I am a generation and a half, a failed product born in the cracks, deserve to be so incomplete, abnormal, and I can't stand it?

They rushed through the streets where monsters wandered, and the atmosphere in the car was silent all the way. People everywhere woke up from their sleep and panicked before the sudden change. The world fell out of the normal range, tragically like a broken plate.

"I'll go with you." Adam whispered, "to the end of Silent Hill."

Wood glanced at him, his eyes saw something, and then sank into something.

"Adam, you're a self-harming bastard, you're the worst thing you can do."

These words seemed to be a prophecy, and the blond youth was inexplicably unhappy.

"I won't." Foolish impulses belong to a mortal who has only one big, tight plan.

Wood laughed so loudly, with utterly wicked wanton arrogance, that Adam's heart nearly stopped beating for the first time he heard him laugh like that.

The pair of peacock blue eyes stared at him, making him feel suffocated by being caught in the chest: "Oh, what can you do? Endure it to the end and release a destructive missile to end everything?"

Adam felt chills all over his body, and for a moment the resonance of his soul hit him, coming from a part he didn't know but really existed.

"I will save you." Wood said coldly, as if talking to a monster he knew, "When you really can't bear it, kill me."

A car rushed out in the darkness. Wood turned the steering wheel urgently and stepped on the brakes. The car, which was traveling at 170 kilometers per hour, made harsh noises due to the violent friction, and the curved and scorched car marks dragged for tens of meters.Pushed forward by a huge force, Adam almost hit the window glass, holding him tightly with one hand, and the air bag popped out in time to wrap him inside.

"Fasten your seat belt!" a voice yelled in his ear.

"Kill you?" Adam asked back in a low voice, his thoughts seemed to be short-circuited, and he could only repeat stupidly.

There was a series of car accidents ahead, and not everyone's reflexes were as good as Wood's.The firelight cast into the driver's cab, intertwined shadows of light and dark, under the reflection of the car window, Adam's eyes seemed to be in a daze, which made his blue eyes extraordinarily clear.Wood pulled the seat belt over and helped him buckle it up. Facing the burning scrap iron, the howling crowd and the dilapidated reality, it seemed strangely suitable and completely different.

"Can't you let go of life at any time?" He approached him and said in a whisper, "You feel that life sucks, your life is a mess, and when you calm down, there is nothing but disillusionment and disillusionment around you, only a little unwillingness and Resentment against the world sustains you, but you're often weary and think you'd better drag this absurdity around to die."

"Then what is your reason for coming here with me, Adam?"

Adam couldn't speak, and couldn't think of an answer.

Wood let go of his right hand that was clamping his neck, and returned to a steady driving posture.

The jeep drove into a downhill road, and the stone and brick walls on both sides were covered with advertising paper, unsightly portraits, curse words and curses written in black pen, just like the darkest corner of life.

"I'm a bastard," Wood said coldly, "that's what my father called me from the time I was able to understand words at the age of one until I was fifteen, son of a bitch, bastard from a thousand fathers—I The mother ran away, and she couldn't stand him. In his delusions, she had children with men every day."

He stared blankly at the dirty trash cans, and the memories that had been deliberately suppressed in his heart floated up like magma, emitting rancid bubbles.Those past events, even after he was sensible and mature enough, he never mentioned them.

At this time, he was forced to mention it, and Wood had to take a deep breath to make his vision clearer.

"She met my father in Germany and said she was an Italian girl, which was a lie, and my father and I traveled eleven countries to find her. But life was no different to me, he always locked me in the house, no matter what Me, and don't talk to me. When he finds me, he starts talking crazy things about how I'm going to sleep with men and seduce people all over the street. I have to keep repeating 'No, I won't, Daddy',' I love you, only you'. I was terrified, I was afraid of becoming what he said, because I was the child of that woman, this is... blood, the roughest relationship. At that time, I wanted to please him , willing to do anything.”

"He's my father, and I want him to love me, but the thought of him loving me makes me sick more and more."

Wood pressed his lips tightly, feeling dizzy for a few seconds.A voice in his head continued to speak, full of coercion and compulsion.They were so strong that they almost covered him, and he didn't want to be stuck in them for the rest of his life.

"When I was 14 years old, I became interested in sex. My father probably put magazines and videotapes in my room, trying to test my reaction. I ran out that night and never came back."

That was a perfectly normal male physiology, but it made him curl up in a ball in the alley, breaking down and wanting to commit suicide.

Adam recalled the fight and the woman's unbuttoned bra—it turned out that this was the reason. The most primitive sexual desire of human beings was defined as a sin by his father, which made Wood desperately deny it and tortured himself to the point of collapse.

"We had already arrived in the United States at that time, and my father asked Bob. They were classmates in high school. Bob was a special police officer before he retired, and he had some friendship with FBI agents. I don't know what excuse my father made up. He found his mother and used Ask her out in my name, in a motel—" Wood paused, trying to find the strength to speak, "He burned her to death, tied her up and burned her, I dare say he's been looking forward to this moment for most of his life, What a poor woman, I have never seen her..."

No one knew the true nature of the half-human, half-spider monster.Adam thought.A faint spark flashed in Wood's mind. He remembered that his mother was completely burnt to a charred corpse, but only the head of the monster was burned...

But he is not in the state of thinking now, and the doubts flashed and disappeared.

He thought of the funeral, the black veil and the loving smile of Bob's wife, Nancy, telling him everything would be alright.He thought so too, that they would live together, get rid of those parents, and have a normal, happy family, but nothing passed.

The goddamned puberty, the goddamned lust.Every word of Nancy's prayers hit his heart, and her gentle teachings made him restless: You must be chaste and kind, and you must be a righteous person in this world, and you must not become cowardly or lose to the devil. temptation...

Every time he listened, a bitter, stuffy taste gushed out of his throat, soaking all the way to the base of his tongue, making him want to vomit uncontrollably.

He swallowed hard, struggling to get by in depression, those prayers were entangled with his father's nightmare curse, and he couldn't tell the difference.

The pain accumulated in his chest made him constantly want to hurt others to vent his anger, and the dark desire surged in his bones, and he had no choice but to leave in the end.

That little family with lovely granddaughter, kind old couple, he couldn't be there, he didn't belong there.

Hell would never end, and might occupy his whole life.

The car stopped, and Wood lit a cigarette, and the ice blue smoke slowly dispersed, reflecting his slightly blurred eyes.Only then did Adam notice that there was a small house opposite the car. It was a middle-class family with a beautiful white attic and a well-kept garden. Under the dark sky, there was a kind of unreal hazy feeling.

"You want to settle it here?"

"No, it's much more reliable to set up obstacles with your eyes than to measure the distance in your heart. I'm worried that their thoughts will drive me crazy along the way." The silver-haired boy choked out his cigarette end. He was wounded, and a thoughtful look gradually emerged in his eyes, "In the Silent Hill game, the big iron head is a symbol of the protagonist's inner violence and an arbitrator of his sins. I think it is possible for me and my father. I have seen The psychiatrist, he said I had an anxiety disorder that caused me to have violent urges, advised me to fall in love with someone, have a relationship with her, and it would slowly get better."

"Then why don't you do it?" Adam said coolly. In the future time and space, Wood is indeed married and has a young daughter.

It's incredible that he was able to heal mentally from such a family injury.

Wood glared at him angrily: "I won't fall in love with a woman... It's even more impossible for a man. The best way is for me to die tonight, and then everyone will be fine."

"The foolish idea of ​​a saint, being willing to die for me and wishing to disappear are two different things. Your spirit will create a vacuum due to self-destruction. The first to die is the Bob family you care about the most." Adam smiled gently, and wrapped the package Throwing a sugar-coated bomb in the past, Wood sneered back, this is how the world is, driving you to nowhere.

"It could be you, too," he said softly.

"Oh?" Adam maintained a rigid smiling expression, his brain was strangely blank, the phrase "Kill me" echoed inside, and Wood's eyes and tone at that time... The damn spiritual power was messing up in his mind .

"Aren't you afraid that the corpses here have been cut into tatters like Jack the Ripper visited?" After a while, he managed to force out a counterattack.But after regaining his ability to think, he realized that this was really stupid.If Wood breaks down, he'll be buried with him.

Pillowing on the steering wheel, the silver-haired boy had a kind of exhaustion seeping from his soul in his eyes. He lightly brushed his bangs hanging in front, revealing his soft white forehead. On a moonless night, his face seemed to be the most serious in his heart. The sadness raised by the scars alive is covered up by another emotion, pious and yearning.

"The Bob family are good people, and I could never treat a good family like this."

They are the hope of this world, maybe they can't save me, but they can make others happy.

He remembered the night when the police lights came on, Bob covering his eyes so he couldn't see the white cloth covering his parents.Nancy took his hand and left the cemetery where the cross stood. The warm touch melted something cold in his heart.

He wants to be a good person, such a person will be able to hold you when you feel hopeless, so that you will not let go of life.

With a clatter, a plastic bag was handed to Adam.

"Have a meal."

"Eat?" Adam repeated in a daze.

Wood said without turning back: "Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, you have to eat dinner."

The black tea was still a little hot, and it was brewed very thickly. Adam's light taste could also taste the slightly astringent bitterness.

Wood was rummaging in the back seat. He borrowed this car from a friend. That guy hid a lot of weapons and goods, and he also brought them up as equipment for fighting monsters.

Calico 9mm submachine gun, Ingram M11 submachine gun, American M16 assault rifle, anti-riot grenades, police flashbangs, various types of bullets and dynamite... Wood couldn't help but whistled.

This is not the behavior expected of a university professor.Adam gave him a blank look, and his companion was sorting out the weapons, and activated the hyperspace networking system of the watch. As expected, because Wood opened his heart defense, the world's network can be connected.

Hulme Hood

197X—?Missing at home, aged 34.

Lecturer, Associate Professor of Psychology, Columbia University.

Skipping some biographical introductions, Adam focused on family relations, and a few lines caught his attention: Wife: Hilda William (HildaWilliam), originally from England, mother remarried when she was 4 years old, father passed away when she was 16 years old, passed the exam Columbia University College of Arts and Sciences.

In 200X, when she died in a bus accident, her husband Wood and daughter Ersa were involved in inheritance disputes, and a property in Minnesota was pursued.In the same year, Ersa was found to be suffering from congenital heart disease, and the cause of the DNA check was the marriage of close relatives...

Inbreeding! ?Adam stared closely at Hilda's photo for a while, then called up the information on Wood's parents, and a faded black and white photo came into view.

No wonder he felt that they were somewhat similar. The girl in the color photo had sunny blonde hair and a quiet and beautiful smile.And Wood looks more like his father, with German fortitude on the brows and eyes, but the delicate and charming outline, clear lines and softly proportioned facial features, have more shadows of his mother.

Maybe they were once said to be husband and wife, but they must have never thought that they were half-brothers and sisters.

Then Hilda died unexpectedly. This fact was spread in front of Wood by inheritance disputes, and then confirmed on his daughter in the cruelest way...

I saw that the year before Ersa's death, Bob's family died in an arson case. Rao Adam had no sympathy, and felt that this man's life was too miserable.

"I doubted, I doubted a long time ago, I believe in love and life, but I don't fully believe in doctrine. God chose Noah's family and let them escape from the flood. Everyone else died. I often think, if my family is not destroyed. Being elected is an unforgivable crime, will I abandon them?"

He finally understood why Wood said that at the time, he committed incest, he fell in love with his sister.

Love... Adam, inexplicably irritated, closed the file and started hacking the GPS system and the Pentagon.One hand rested on the back of his chair: "Hey, little princess Adam, you probably can't help shooting on your back, can you use a grenade? Pull the pull ring and throw it out with the strength to pursue the prince. Don't let it be in your hand." It exploded."

"Don't remind me of such a retarded thing." Adam raised his head dissatisfied, "Don't call me a little princess either!"

"Forgive me, you look very weak," Wood said insincerely. "A bird's appetite." He meant the untouched dinner.

Adam wanted to say that he had no appetite, but in order to avoid being scrutinized by the kid with "Look, she is a weak princess", he had no choice but to pick up the beef burger and eat it angrily.Wood glanced at his watch, his eyes fixed: "I thought the invasion of the Ministry of Defense was blown in the movie comics."

"Obviously not," Adam said dryly.

"What do you want to do? Manipulate missiles to bomb those monsters? Does this conform to... the procedure? I mean, the rules of Silent Hill." Wood said thoughtfully, "I have only played the first and third generations, and heard the plot of the second generation. The background of Silent Hill seems to be difficult to unify. In "Silent Hill 1", Dahariya, the leader of the cult, sacrificed her own daughter, Alessa, to steal the power of the fallen angel Samael. The ceremony failed, and Aleigh Sha only got half of her divine power. In order to avoid her mother's ambition, she created a dark inner world and hid it inside. The sect gave birth to a second baby, Shirley, who possessed divine power. A nurse handed her over to Harry, the protagonist of the game. Mason, he raised her as his daughter. Dahariya couldn’t catch Alessa in the dark world, so he had to create another watch world to prevent others from finding Alessa. Seven-year-old Shirley was summoned by Dahariya , in order to save his daughter, Harry also broke into Silent Hill. Dahariya's plot succeeded, combining Aretha and Shirley to call out Samuel, Harry defeated Samuel's body, and Dahariya also He died in this battle. In order to thank Harry, the dying Aretha created a brand new baby Heather and entrusted him with it."

"In "Silent Hill 3", the father and daughter hid for 17 years under the pursuit of the cult. In the end, Harry was killed. The angry Heather returned to Silent Hill and completely destroyed the cult." After a pause, Wood sighed , "Heather is not Shirley. Harry knows that he lost his beloved daughter. He once wanted to kill Heather, but love overcame the pain. He also loved Heather as his own daughter and grew up loving her. Heather also loved her deeply. Only by following his father can he develop the courage to overcome everything."

Restraining untimely sentimentality, he continued in a calm tone: "The strange thing is that in the second generation, at the end of "Silent Hill 2", Samuel's body was wiped out, and the spirit he released may maintain the operation of Silent Hill. There is a follow-up plot. But all the characters in the 1nd generation, their guilt and emotions project scenes and monsters, and even real people. That is to say, Silent Hill has become an independent world, and anyone's spirit can be in it It works. The deeper the twisted psychology, the stronger the projected monsters, such as the big iron head of the second generation."

Adam listened to Wood's clear analysis and nodded.The reason why Wood didn't play "Silent Hill 2" can also be guessed. The second generation tells the story of the protagonist, James, who can't stand his long-sick and aging wife, Mary, and hopes that she will die. When his wife dies of illness as he wished, he is drawn into Silent Hill by guilt, and finally kills his wife who resembles her. Maria the Monster, a plot that touches on as much heartbreak as Wood's family tragedy.But the sincere paternal love of the first and third generations of Harry is his longing.

However, Adam found a doubtful point. The release date of "Silent Hill 1" was 1999, and Wood is only 17 years old now. It is impossible for him to have played the Silent Hill series.That is to say, his subconscious mind had memories, which produced this self that didn't exactly match the "past" Wood.

Whether the person in front of him is a real fragment or a false fantasy, Adam can't confirm.

The corner of the boy's mouth curled into a blatant sarcasm, so youthful, so dark and proud, so sharp that it hurts: "In the second generation, Silent Hill became a 'land of redemption', allowing the protagonist James to be able to recover when his spirit is about to collapse. , There is a place to vent, punish yourself by killing monsters, and finally cut off your wife to save yourself, it is really ridiculous, there is no place like this in reality, where people can escape the pain of life like this."

"Really?" Adam gained new ideas for this novel argument.Wood narrowed his eyes and stared at him: "Adam, we can kill monsters and find out the reason for Silent Hill, but some problems are nothingness and fatal. They are in our hearts, invisible and unable to deal with them. This is the scariest thing."

"Similarly, we also exist by relying on what we can't see in our hearts. This is the way to defeat Silent Hill."

The monsters in Silent Hill are formed by the reflection of the evil and sin in their hearts. Those who live in them can be saved by defeating them. This is the purpose of the game, and it is also the shortcut to overcome the demons in the mind of the members of the reincarnation team.

But Wood said that this is not the fundamental solution to the problem.

"A devious thought." Suppressing all the thoughts in his mind, Adam said, "You will give Silent Hill a chance."

"What do you think?" Wood smiled softly, "Unless we die here, we will still have to face endless nightmares after we go out. It's like James left Silent Hill with his imaginary perfect wife Maria, but Maria Suffering from the same terminal illness as Mary - Silent Hill is a complete lie, and it's foolish to lie to yourself."

Adam had to reconsider, he had an IQ that was actually no less than Chu Xuan's, but he was equally clumsy with mental problems.Wood's words made him feel overwhelmed and shocked.

The outside of the car turned into a void of chaotic colors. Bob's house and road disappeared, leaving only a dead gray.

"Here we come." Wood reversed the car urgently, and drove back in a sharp turn. He didn't seem to have thought about how to drive in the "void", so he resolutely drove past, just like his messy childhood, also in the endless darkness and cynicism It's much better than feeling hopeless all the time.

"Calm down!" Adam grabbed him with a non-calm attitude, "Quickly fantasize about the end of Silent Hill, go there! You will kill us—"

"I can't tell a lie when I'm dead," Wood said coldly. "I've had enough of ridiculous lies."

"You have to listen to me!" Adam was furious, the kid was messing around.

Wood looked at him and laughed: "Adam, you are very angry now."

The smile like the light of dawn was bright and brilliant, it was Wood’s first sincere smile on the way, and the heart in Adam’s chest was beating wildly, maybe it was because of fright or some other damn reason.

The man wasn't mad or dead, he was assuring him.

"I've played Russian roulette." Wood held the steering wheel unwaveringly, his black pupils reflected the dashboard, bursting out murderous and clear brilliance, "load two bullets in the revolver, turn the wheel, take turns Shoot yourself in the head. It was a fool's game, but I felt terrible at the time, my father was denying me all his life, and I was denying myself by denying him, and I couldn't find... where I was, where I was Look at myself. If you're unlucky, just die, that's the punishment for participating in the game."

Adam listened in a daze, the feeling of his heartbeat became more and more clear, and a strange feeling swelled in his mind, making his fingertips tremble in bewilderment.

"The moment I shot, I looked at the other party and was a little scared. I wanted to save such a life. His eyes couldn't lie, because he was also afraid, nervous, and regretful. He was more scared than me. , but we are the same, the ignorance, the ignorance, the emptiness of finding no purpose in life, everyone has it."

"Lucky, empty gun. I played two more rounds, won that game, and the guy escaped. Back in the world, I still feel the same, angry, anxious, tired, and the idea of ​​suicide has not subsided at all. But I know I can find a way out from now on, and I can't give up a soul like this, no matter how bad it is."

"Adam, this is my Silent Hill, you must follow my rules."

Weakly let go of his hand, Adam heard his own chaotic and heavy breathing, and there was a dark room in his mind, and every picture was an empty him doing things in it.

Haotian has never understood why he installed a monitor in the secret room and kept observing himself. In fact...he didn't understand either, he just did that.

I
