[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

In fact, there was nothing serious about Edmund's body. ——He just fainted temporarily due to low blood sugar and too much mood swings.

He woke up after hanging a few bottles of glucose in the hospital.

"Can I go home?" Edmund asked, looking up at the female nurse who was helping him remove the needle.

"Oh.——Just pay the money. But you must remember to eat on time in the future."

"Thank you. ——Well...Actually, I don't quite understand the payment process. Could you please help me to pay?"

"Oh. I think it should be possible—"

"I'm sorry to trouble you, thank you." The boy took out enough money from the pocket of his coat, and handed them to the female nurse.

As soon as the latter got the money, he jumped off the hospital bed in a hurry, grabbed his things and ran out.

It's surprisingly fast. ——It seems that there is something scary in this hospital.

The female nurse shook her head helplessly, then turned around and began to make the bed.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Today is another day of heavy snow.

Edmund ran wildly from the hospital and didn't stop until the center of town.

He wasn't worried about school, because Mrs. Gray would see that he was a "good student" and the punishment for fighting was mitigated.But he really hoped that the punishment would be heavier, such as temporarily suspending classes or something - in that case, he could avoid all kinds of rumors in the school.

I have to admit that Gail's words had a great influence on him. ——So much so that he can't lift his spirits until now.

The boy scratched his black hair, put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket, and started walking home step by step.

He buried his head very low so that the townspeople would not recognize him. ——He doesn't want to talk to anyone now, not even a hello.

He didn't know who had that opinion about him right now—"little villain," "bastard" or whatever—he didn't want to hear about any of them.

"Hey, are you crossing the road? The green light is already on." A girl about his age came from the opposite side and asked very gently.

Only then did the boy realize that he should have moved his feet earlier. ——He didn't want to wait for the next green light, and staying in one place for a long time would increase his chances of being recognized.

"Thanks for reminding."

Edmund pressed his hat, looked at the vehicles on both sides of the road, and rushed over quickly.

It's just that it may not be a good thing to come here in such a hurry. ——The boy accidentally stepped on the thin ice that had just solidified when he was going up the steps, and he fell on his back all of a sudden.

His ears were still ringing when he got up from the ground.

"Son, are you okay? Do you need help?" A man saw this scene and came over with some concern and asked.

"No! - oh, I mean - I'm fine, thank you for your concern." The boy said softly, subconsciously avoiding the man's hand extended to him.

"Is there anything bothering you, kid? ——Oh, it's okay. Go home and talk to your family, and they will definitely help you out." The man said with a smile.

"Oh.—Thank you, sir.—You're right."

"I'm glad you agree with me. Now, go home. I must go too, and my daughter is waiting for me to go back and hold her.—Good-bye, child."

"Good-bye, sir," murmured Edmund, and continued walking slowly along the curb.

But before he took a few steps, he heard someone screaming above his head. ——So he looked up subconsciously——

A circular fish tank filled with water, about the size of a basketball, fell from a planter in one room.Before everyone could react, it landed on the head of the man behind Edmund exactly.

There was a crisp sound of "snap".

After a few seconds of silence, people started screaming.

The passing women all knelt down and tightly covered their children's eyes.

As for Edmund, he could only stand there blankly, letting the blood of the scarlet man splash on his face——

【He is just a passerby, he should have left here early. ——It was because he cared about you that he stopped. 】——The villain in his mind started talking again.

【No, don't worry about it.It's not you who made him stop. 】

[Don't shirk responsibility, Edmund.That man died because of you. 】

[No, that's not the case, don't believe his words. 】

[Why don't you believe it?Are you still afraid to admit it?Lo and behold, the man was alive seconds ago!What now?What now?What did he just say?Go back and hug his daughter. — Ha, what a coincidence!Because of the few words you said to you, that poor girl will never be able to hold her father again! 】

Edmund stood there, reaching out a stiff hand to touch his face. ——What the fingertip touched was a piece of red liquid that was still warm.

At that moment, he thought he smelled death.

【No matter where you stay, you will bring disaster! ! ! 】

[So many people have left, why are you, the evil star, still alive? ! 】

[How many more people do you want to kill? ! 】

The boy took a trembling step back, leaning against a cold lamppost and sliding slowly down.

"I'm sorry..."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

People's attention was always on the hapless man, so almost no one saw a boy of Asian descent running towards the east side of the town like crazy.

He didn't want others to recognize him. —but this is impossible.

"Hey! Isn't this the little guy?" Emmett, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked at a little boy running across the sidewalk with a strange expression. "Wait, why can't I smell him?"

"I can't smell it either.—What happened to him, Edward? Got into a fight with the boys in the class? I just saw blood on him." Jasper asked equally strangely.

"I don't know.—I can't smell him or hear what he's thinking." Edward frowned. ask."

"pretty good idea."

"Hey! Edmund!" He got out of the car and ran a few steps, then waved at the boy who was still running forward.

The latter turned his head reflexively, and saw the radiant Edward in a gray coat——

Then it ran faster like a mouse seeing a cat.

"..."

"You frightened him." Emmett smacked his lips and said with some dissatisfaction.

"But I didn't do anything." Edward was at a loss. ——Sure enough, not being able to hear other people's thoughts can sometimes cause trouble.

"I think it's better for you to tell Carlisle about this." Jasper thought for a while before speaking, "He really looks like he's frightened by something."

"You won't guess that we are vampires, will you?"

"Impossible. There is too little information. It should be something else." Edward took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket, found out Carlisle's number and called.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

With a loud bang, the boy closed the door of his house and locked several locks heavily.

Edward saw him covered in blood just now. —and the consequences were as bad as "being seen by Carlyle himself."

Because Edward would call and tell Carlisle.

And according to Carlisle's "good old man" character, he would definitely call, or even come to his home in person.

That would be too bad.

Edmund took out the cell phone from his pocket, pulled out the battery and threw it on the coffee table, and then started running up and down to cut off all channels for exchanging information between his home and the outside world. - Internet cables, monitors at the door, telephone lines, even windows in rooms and attics.

Then he was relieved to take a shower, covered his head and shrank into the bed. ——Stay like this for three or four hours.

The author has something to say: Well, this is a transitional chapter~~~

Sure enough, 3000 thousand words is still a bit difficult...but it is better than the previous 1000.
