Strange light
Chapter 12
Rebecca's departure seemed to take away the sunshine.Shortly after Eid al-Adha, late autumn came, and Rigamandu ushered in the rainy season.The sun hides behind dark clouds all day long, and the whole day is gloomy, which makes people feel chest tightness for no reason.
Stephen stood in front of the window, holding a thin piece of letter paper in his scarred hands.
It was late at night, and the rain was falling, dripping and dripping on the diamond-shaped window edge of pear wood, which was wet.With the help of the weak light, his eyes stroked the writing on the letter paper again and again.
The bright and sly smiling face, the anguish of frowning and biting the pen when reciting spells, the drowsiness that almost fell on the scroll when reading in the library, laughing loudly against the wall in the corridor...all these, like the continuous rain brings His depression always sneaked in when he dreamed back at midnight and his spirit was slack, and invaded his mind.
After a while, Stephen finally put down the letter, opened the mailbox, and typed out a few words bit by bit.
This is a letter to Christine.In the letter he asked Dr. Palmer about Rebecca's movements.
At that time, he first encountered a car accident and was extremely mentally unstable.Christine wanted to take care of him, but it was obviously irrational to waste his time with countless dying patients requiring surgery every day.
So they decided to hire a nurse. At first they looked at a 45-year-old black woman with more than 20 years of experience and rich experience.But for some reason, it turned out to be Rebecca, a girl in her 20s.
He just glanced at her resume briefly, and didn't have the patience to ask why. After all, he was full of fear of the world collapsing at the time.
So far, he doesn't even have Rebecca's contact information, so he can only contact her through Palmer.
"Do you know how Rebecca is?"
He just typed out this sentence, after reading it a few times, his eyes moved slightly, and he deleted it one by one.
"May I ask if you can contact Rebecca now?"
Sighing silently, he leaned back in the chair, still wrong.
"you……"
Finally, Stephen closed the computer irritably, looking at the rain outside the window speechlessly.
In front of the black velvet curtain woven by the dark night, raindrops are falling, thin and dense, like a layer of poor-quality nylon gauze that is not breathable.
Under Stephen's feet, passing through the hot lava core, Los Angeles, USA, the weather is clear.
Standing in front of the greasy dining table, Li Qiu was wearing a white apron and her hair was pulled into a clean and refreshing bun. She confirmed to the men and women in front of her with a smile, "One chili sauce hot dog, one Reuben sandwich, and two cups of Long Island iced tea. Yes." Is that so?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, she walked towards the kitchen and said to the chef inside, "Joseph, number five."
Standing for ten hours, even in flat shoes, put a strain on her ankles.
Looking around this modest restaurant, there are only a few guests, only three or five young couples who just came out of the nightclub, sitting in the corner.One of the couples was wearing a half-piece mask, their lips and teeth were intertwined together, and the pattern on the mask was enchanting.
She took the opportunity to secretly find a stool behind the bar and sat down, lying on the table, looking out at the gray sky with tired eyes.
Through the foggy glass windows, the street is empty, with a bit of coldness, only a few pieces of waste paper swirling and flying up, like the weakness after carnival.
It's five in the morning, and there's an hour left before her shift ends.
Yawning loudly, she rubbed her dry eyes.Secretly thinking about where to go for the weekend.
"Rebecca. Number five." A dinner plate appeared on the small window leading to the kitchen, and she struggled to get off the stool and took the plate.Going straight to the couple, she didn't know if she was too sleepy or if the long-term seal had caused irreparable damage to her body. She vaguely felt the ground tilting, and the floor tiles under her feet were about to move, as if the keys of a piano had been crushed. Some mysterious hand plays, up and down.
Her scalp was tense, she rubbed her temples with her right hand, stabilized her mind, held the dinner plate with her left hand, and walked forward step by step.
"Hello, your meals are here." She resisted the nausea brought by the sleepless night in her throat, forced a smile, and said to the customer.
The boy gently wrapped his arms around the girl's shoulders, lowered his head, and whispered something in his girlfriend's ear.The blonde girl leaned in her boyfriend's arms, her tanned face was full of attachment, and she giggled from time to time.
Li Qiu took a deep breath, and said again, "The chili sauce hot dog, Reuben sandwich, and Long Island iced tea you ordered have arrived."
The girl frowned and said something, the boy lightly placed a kiss on the girl's forehead, and opened his mouth to shout towards the kitchen.
In the direction of the kitchen, a cook-maid about six inches tall, big and round, with small green eyes on pink cheeks, came out.At this time, the pair of emerald green eyes were full of apology and doubts, they bowed slightly, and kept apologizing.
She was slightly dazed, and then realized that she was missing in the eyes of Joseph and the customers.Encountering such a strange thing, her sleepy and befuddled brain turned slowly.
Is it magic?
whose field?
Was it for her?
In the next second, the answer appeared automatically.
"Rebecca White?" A man's voice appeared behind her without warning.
She gently put down the plate, put on a formulaic smile, turned around slowly, and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I'm Casillas, I believe you've heard of this name from the ancient one."
When Li Qiu's eyes met the man's face, he was slightly surprised.
The blood-red eye sockets seemed to have been peeled off, accompanied by burnt brown, all over the eye sockets.The jagged brown-red edge is a large piece of cracked skin with a malachite green luster.This part of the skin is like ice cracks from Geyao, spreading over half of the cheeks.The blackness in the middle of the crack is like dried ink, and it also looks like blood and tears flowing.
The whole face looked ghastly and grotesque.
Helpless, the turbulent tiredness made her tired of expressing this.Therefore, in the eyes of Casillas, Rebecca is very calm, so calm that it makes people dreadful.
"sorry, we do not have that."
Her very shameless answer made Casillas' expression stagnate for half a second, and she said in another way: "Then let me introduce myself, Casillas, the former lover of Ancient One."
Li Qiu ignored the other party's friendly hand and folded his arms.At this moment, the warm brown eyes in Stephen's memory were cold and full of thoughts.
"Do you know why I betrayed her?" Casillas withdrew his hand silently, and replied to himself, "I used to think that she was strong, resolute, just, kind, and omnipotent. I followed her wholeheartedly. Until later, I I met a real strong man and saw endless power. Only then did I realize that Ancient One is just a hypocritical liar. Regarding this point, I think you have a deep understanding, right?"
Li Qiu couldn't deny this, leaning his waist obliquely on the soft bag seat.
"She imprisoned you first, and after you escaped, she put you under her nose and watched you in the name of teaching." Casillas followed the temptation with a resentful tone, quite a bit of the same hatred, "Why can she do this? With hypocrisy Is it in the name of justice? You and I both know that justice is just a fig leaf for the winner. She is just stronger than you and me."
Having said that, Casillas slowly approached her, his tone revealing imperceptible fanaticism: "Come, join me. My new master, the eternal Lord of Darkness, Dormammu, will bestow upon you infinite power and eternity."
Now, Li Qiu knew the other party's purpose, and it turned out that they came to engage in MLM development and offline.
She looked at the blood-red imprint on the forehead of the other party, which looked like a totem and a magic circle, "Infinite power?"
"Yes." Seeing that Rebecca's expression seemed to be loose, Casillas continued, "Under Dormammu's territory, everything is not limited by time, and all life embraces and shares power. Endless power."
"Then what do I need to do?" Her eyes flickered and she asked.
"The Supreme Dormammu said that you are the key link that allows him to own this world. Your power will make him and assist him. In return, he will send you back to the original world, Li Qiu."
When talking about the original world, doubts flashed in Casillas' eyes. Obviously, he was just conveying Dormammu's will, and he didn't know the meaning behind it.
Li Qiu suddenly felt that his muddy brain was not enough, subconsciously asked: "The original world?"
"It is Dormammu, who is all-knowing and omnipotent, who ushered you into this world. He picked you out of all living beings and gave you unique talents. This is his power."
and many more.
Li Qiu secretly went through the train of thought in his mind, is it Dormammu who brought her here?
That is, she can go home.
The smiling faces of my parents appeared in front of my eyes. Those lush years of wanton laughter have become blurred in the long river of gray and yellow memories, but they are still precious.
She showed a heart-moving expression, and her voice was pleasantly surprised and even unbelievable: "Really?!!!"
"Of course it is true." Casillas smiled happily.
"Unfortunately, I don't care."
The next moment, her expression turned sharply downward, like a puppet whose emotions had been wiped away, she put away her exaggerated joy and refused indifferently.
I have to say that the promise given by Casillas is still very attractive.Returning to the former world means that her filth in this world will be washed away by the sea like footprints on the beach.Without pathological infatuation, selfish conspiracy, she is still the mediocre but pure and fulfilling Li Qiu.
However, Casillas never understood what she wanted from the beginning to the end.In her world, the land is dry and cracked, the plants are withered and lifeless.The love for dr.strange is a seedling that grows hard in the barren soil.Frail, but significant, she radiates hope in life.She doesn't want to leave this world, on the contrary, she wants to stay here and enjoy the secret joy of spending life in the same time with him.
"It's not up to you."
Casillas opened his palm, and a small part floated in the air.Behind him, the kissing couple slowly took off their enchanting masks, revealing the same anxious cheeks.
Li Qiu saw the car component suspended in the air, his face turned pale, and his lips tightened.
"Well then, let's welcome Rebecca."
Waking up from a dream again.
Stephen rubbed the center of his brows, came to the mirror, scooped up a handful of clear water, and poured it heavily on his face, trying to drive away the involuntary emotions in his heart.
No sleepiness.
He simply held the book, walked through the heavy rain, and went to the library.
Late at night, the rain became heavier.Big drops hit the puddles, and the water splashed in all directions.There was no one around, and the dim lights were lit in the aisle, barely illuminating the way ahead.
He came to the book of Camustro, untied the chain on it, and took it off gently.
So far, the gears of time have run over lightly, seemingly inadvertently, but they can always be embedded in the established groove in time, exactly.
The author has something to say: the premonition is coming to an end, so happy.
The brain hole seems a bit big, and the emotional description is urgent. I feel that there has been substantial progress. How can I break it?
Maybe I will write a meaty episode, yesterday I went to popo to find inspiration and found kidney deficiency ==
