deformed bone

【Escape】

Calvin stared at the writing on the mirror and widened his eyes.

"who is it?"

He turned slowly and approached the mirror, and asked in a low voice, so low that he could hardly hear himself.

After Calvin turned off the faucet, the steam was dissipating, and the word was getting wet on the foggy mirror—droplets pooled at the edge of the writing and slid down.Although the drops of water were transparent, Calvin felt in a trance that there was blood dripping from the water marks on the word.

There was a hazy shadow in the mirror, and Calvin thought he would see a ghostly face, maybe rotten, maybe swollen, anyway, the sudden appearance of ghostly faces is always unpleasant.But he soon realized that there was only his own shadow in the mirror, and whoever the "thing" or "person" who wrote that word was was no longer here.

The muscles around Calvin's eyes were bouncing unconsciously, and he vaguely felt that the handwriting seemed familiar...

It's quiet around.

Not even the annoying loons by the lake made a sound.The only sound in the room was Calvin's shallow, gradually quickening breathing.This silence seemed to come suddenly, for something, or for the appearance of a certain person.

"Crack-"

Calvin heard the sound of a very small piece of wood being squeezed.

He kept his original posture without moving, but his pupils suddenly constricted.

He took a quick look around, and then he realized with great nervousness that there were no weapons of any kind in this room: Reed was a very careful man, and he had done so when he made this bedroom a temporary residence for Madeleine. All possible murder weapons were carefully removed.

But now Calvin had to fall into crisis because of Reed's carefulness.

damn...

Calvin cursed softly in his heart.

But he quickly remembered that there was nothing in this house.He moved his steps carefully on the wet ground, and came to the side of the bathtub.He resisted the discomfort and plunged his hand into the still bright red and warm bathtub water.There he unsurprisingly touched the blade that once separated the veins in Madeleine's arms.

Calvin hid the blade between his fingers, lowered his body's center of gravity, and quietly walked out of the bedroom.

At the railing on the second floor, Calvin watched everything downstairs vigilantly.

He didn't see the intruder he thought he would.

"Crack-"

Immediately afterwards, as if to mock his previous nervousness, the wooden shutters of the first-floor reception room swayed gently in a breeze.

The window shaft, which had not been oiled for a long time, made a squeaky, tinny sound: exactly the kind Calvin heard in the bathroom.

Calvin straightened up slowly, but there was no relaxed look on his face. On the contrary, his expression became more serious, and the blade at his fingertips was squeezed even tighter by him.

Calvin kept this state and went downstairs carefully.

He stood in the middle of the living room and looked around briefly again, there was no one else here except the quiet furniture and him who was suspicious.

Calvin pulled the backpack off the sofa and slung it over his back. He didn't intend to stay in the house.

But at the moment when he was about to leave, he heard the creaking sound of step planks being stepped on from the porch.

"Help--"

A woman's voice came from the door.

Calvin rushed over. He glanced quickly at the porch from the window, and what he saw was a woman covered in blood. She was very thin and very young, but he could hardly see the woman's face because her face was covered with blood. Her body was covered in dirt and blood, and she half-crawled and half-rolled from the porch to his door, and then she desperately patted on the wooden door of the lakeside holiday cottage.

"Someone is going to kill me—"

She screamed desperately in a hoarse voice, but even her scream was raw and weak.

Calvin's breathing stopped, and when he raised his eyes, he saw behind the woman, a man really staggering towards the hut.

His movements and demeanor are very strange, but the most eye-catching thing on his body is the bloodstains.

The young man's half of his body seemed to be soaked in blood, and he was holding a bright chef's knife in his hand. The front part of the blade was dripping with black and red blood, and the pooled blood was dripping along the tip of the knife. The answer is dripping.

Everything happens in an instant.

Calvin didn't have time to think, he opened the door, and then stretched out his hand towards the woman.

"Come in……"

he cried anxiously.

The woman grabbed Calvin's hand.

Her strength was much greater than Calvin thought, and her slender fingertips dug deeply into Calvin's arm.

"Well--"

Calvin snorted unexpectedly, the woman's hands were as cold as a female corpse that had been lying in the morgue for several months.

A cold and damp breath passed directly to Calvin's body along her fingers.

"Got you."

Immediately afterwards, Calvin heard the woman's eerie whispers.

She maintained her climbing posture and raised her head towards Calvin.

The parts of her skin that hadn't been stained by smudges and blood were a hair-raising bluish-white, and her eyes... her entire eyeball was blood-red except for the black pupils.

Calvin's heart skipped a beat.

Oops--

At this moment, he realized that he had foolishly stepped into a trap.

He wanted to tear the woman away from him, but the iron tooth spring of the trap had loosened.

【“click”】

In a trance, Calvin seemed to hear the sound of the nonexistent trap being clicked.

A tall figure silently appeared behind Calvin, he found the right position on the unsuspecting Calvin's neck and knocked down hard.

Calvin only had time to let out a muffled groan, and then he collapsed limply.

But another man, a rather young man, immediately put his hands on Calvin's body.He immediately held Calvin in his arms, and then walked towards the holiday cottage.

The woman who looked extremely weak before stood up from the ground, and she followed behind the young man expressionlessly.

Immediately after that came the tall man who entered the hut after the other three entered the room.Then he closed the heavy wooden door very carefully and locked it.

If Calvin hadn't fainted, he would probably be very puzzled about the relationship between the three people who attacked him. There was no language or eye contact between these three people, but their movements were unusually unified, as if they had been rehearsed There is no first time.

……

"Um……"

Not long after, Calvin slowly woke up.

His vision changed from blurry to clear in an instant--

His head was still a little dizzy, and his vision was a little dark because of the blow, but there was still a dull pain in the back of his neck, which made it easy for him to recall what happened before.

He was still in the familiar place—the middle of the living room of the secluded lake house.

All the furniture was piled up against the walls.

There is a wide open space in the middle.

And he sat on a Windsor chair, his hands were tied behind the back of the chair, and his feet were tied together with the chair legs.

Three people, a young woman, a young man and a middle-aged man, were staring at Calvin at a very close distance (too close even for a kidnapper or criminal).

And their eyes can be described as penetrating or terrifying.That sense of horror is not only because of the crazy and viscous gaze, but also because of their bloodshot eyeballs.

At such a close distance, Calvin could clearly observe the burst capillaries in the eyeballs of the three people. The corners of their eyes and eye sockets were bleeding to varying degrees, and there were also suspicious black and red stains on their noses and mouths. trace.

Calvin had no doubts at all that the pressure on the skulls of these three people should be terribly high, and they should be corpses rather than the weird kidnappers in front of him.

He was attacked by three people in front of him and knocked out.

"..."

Calvin's body tensed suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to jump up, but the tight rope made him fall back.

"*&..."

Calvin couldn't help letting out a vicious curse, and then he met the eyes of those people.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?"

"..."

The three did not answer Calvin's question, but Calvin believed that they actually heard his words, because almost at the moment he spoke, the eyes of the three changed at the same time.

But not the good kind of change...

Cold sweat broke out on Calvin's back, and the state of the three people in front of him made him feel very uneasy, or rather, creepy.

He swore he wasn't ever afraid of perverts, and in fact he was pretty good at dealing with perverts who stalked him, but the person in front of him was different.Calvin couldn't even be sure they were really human.

Because they carried a strange and terrifying aura from head to toe, Calvin couldn't describe it in exact words...

Heterogeneous.

distortion.

Sticky.

These were the words that came to Calvin's mind when he faced the three of them.

He forced himself to watch the trio closely (though his instincts screamed).The young woman who confuses him seems to be only in her twenties, wearing an ordinary fast-selling coat, and the young man next to her is wearing the same style and color as her, but the gender is different. He also looks very Young, if you don't care about his intimidating gaze and state, he can almost be called handsome.And the other person, the middle-aged man, looked out of place with young men and women in appearance, his hair was a bit messy, and so were his clothes.Calvin saw his deformed and fat ears at the first glance. This kind of ears, which are called "cauliflower ears", usually only appear on boxers, and the crooked nose bridge and deformed chin of the middle-aged man are unintentional. It is confirming Calvin's conjecture.

And his state is also the most terrifying among the three.

Calvin didn't miss the stick around his neck—the root had been driven deep into his neck, and a torn woman's skirt was used as a bandage around the terrible wound.The dress was supposed to be flesh pink, or taupe, but now it was a mess, with blackened blood completely soaking the fabric.

Calvin simply did not know how he survived.

"You're hurt."

He tentatively stared at the man's wound and said.

"..."

But what he got was still silence, and the common gaze of those three people.

"What the hell are you trying to do..."

Calvin murmured, he had never had so many goosebumps in his life.While speaking, he began to bend his thumb consciously, and then carefully earned space in the rope through skill.

His heart was beating fast.

Calvin couldn't deny that he was panicking himself.

"What the hell are you looking at—"

On the one hand, to cover up his small movements of breaking free from the rope, and on the other hand, out of genuine panic, Calvin couldn't help but roared at the three people.

He almost thought he would get another period of silence, that horrible silence.

But at this moment, those three people spoke at the same time.

"Brother Calvin."

Distorted, crazy sounds.

"I finally saw you..."

While saying these words, those people finally took other actions. Well, Calvin now prefers that they just use their eyes directly to cause him psychological oppression as before.

The woman's body was attached to Calvin's back, and at the same time, the young man put his head on Calvin's knee, and the seriously injured middle-aged man crawled down before Calvin's toes.

Although the movements of the three of them were very different, the strange feeling still did not dissipate... Calvin found it difficult to see the three robbers as different people, he felt...

God, this is ridiculous.

Calvin said to himself, but at this moment he couldn't ignore his intuition.

He feels that these three people are actually the same whole.

"Who the hell are you... who are you..."

Calvin was horrified by the strangeness presented by the three.

"My name is Joshua. Dear brother...I am your brother."

The man's and woman's voices overlapped and uttered the same sentence.

Calvin was shocked.

"It's you? Wait..."

Calvin was confused and confused, and at this moment, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a decorative mirror on the table in the distance.After seeing his reflection in the mirror, the cold sweat on his back oozes even worse.

For a few moments, he saw three completely different faces in the mirror, wearing the same mask.

It's hard to say that the mask is beautiful or ugly, its facial features are extraordinarily delicate and graceful, but it still looks like some kind of alien.

The current Holy Son of the Adventists... Of course Calvin had heard of him, but he never imagined that one day he would actually meet him.

"I don't understand, what the hell is going on? You want to kill me?"

For that damned and boring so-called Son of God?

"No-no-" What Calvin didn't expect was that after hearing these words, the three people under Joshua's control showed panicked and desperate expressions at the same time.

【"My dear brother Calvin, you know..."】

Calvin stiffened at the woman's body, whose hands cupped his face.

【"I will never hurt you……"】

The young man rubbed his face against Calvin's knee, a sickening burning intoxication appeared on his pale face.

【"I just want...to meet you..."】

The middle-aged man muttered vaguely. He knelt down and smashed Calvin's feet, and then put his lips on Calvin's instep.

"I... *...￥%... What the hell are you doing?!"

Calvin howled uncontrollably when he realized that the wet feeling coming from the back of his feet and between his toes came from the man's tongue.

["Oh, no, brother, my dear brother Calvin, I have finally waited for such a day, I can finally meet you...I have always loved you, brother, I have loved you since I was very young I love you, you are my idol and light...my love and worship for you is more devout than any believer in this world..."]

Calvin had no way to understand Joshua's words.

He felt that he might be being dragged into a particularly absurd and disgusting nightmare.

At the moment when the middle-aged man approached him, a lot of bloody and violent scenes hit Calvin's spirit.

He even had muscle spasms involuntarily from the intense disgust.

"Let go of me—stop—I tell you to stop—"

blood.

torture.

Dead body.

Phone, phone, phone, sound.

spark.

【"Sir, you need help—"】

A young woman's voice, then a young man's voice.

Countless fragments hit Calvin's nerves, his heartbeat seemed to have completely lost control, and his breathing became extremely rapid, but the temperature of his body surface was dropping——

"Go away..."

He was in great pain because of the torment suffered by those good people.

He didn't want to see those things.

never want to.

He wanted to get away from the "thing" in front of him...

In Calvin's trance-like vision, the face of the middle-aged man gradually began to deform like plasticine.He saw Joshua.

Without any mirror reflection, without a dream, he saw Joshua with his own eyes.

"monster."

Even Calvin himself didn't realize that he had murmured the word.

【"Do not--"】

This word made Joshua... the three people who became puppets because of Joshua's spiritual connection trembled at the same time...

【"I'm not—brother—I'm not—I'm your believer, I'm your brother—I'm not a monster! Brother Calvin, you should know, I'm not—"】

【"I just can't wait anymore, brother, I'm not good at waiting, this is a bad habit, but I will change..."】

【"I want to see you so much, Brother Calvin, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. I am waiting for your redemption. This world will be yours...Brother Calvin, my light, my faith..." 】

Countless frantic, distorted, and incoherent words poured out from the mouths of the three at the same time.

Their bodies were convulsing, and in response to the intense emotion, they clung tightly to Calvin's body at the same time.

"Zi-"

With the sound of the cloth breaking, Calvin's wings broke the gauze uncontrollably under his extremely bad mood, and the cloth that pierced the clothes stretched out directly.

However, his unconscious move pushed himself into a worse situation.

Those three people, of course, more correctly, the monster called "Joshua", has been suppressed in the depths of the heart, constantly fermenting, and the twisted frenzy seems to have finally found a release point——

【"Angel...my angel...my brother...my light..."]

In the broken whispers, Calvin felt his wings being touched.

Not just being touched...something was tearing at his wings...

Calvin turned his head in shock, those people he saw with his own eyes swallowed his feathers down his throat.

It was a trance bliss.

……

Calvin's mind went blank.

"Do not--"

he whispered.

The rope wrapped around his wrist suddenly snapped at this moment.

Calvin stretched out his hand like lightning, he grabbed the middle-aged man closest to him, and then he pulled out the branch from the man's neck without hesitation.

A large amount of blood suddenly spewed out from the huge wound—and in the fountain of blood splashing like a fountain, Calvin directly inserted the branch into the man's eye socket with a blank face.

"Pfft-"

There was a damp muffled sound.

The man's movements froze suddenly.

Calvin then turned his head and looked at the young man behind him.

The man's expression was still dazed and dazed, with Calvin's feathers remaining in his teeth.

【No, stop...】

Calvin vaguely heard a voice whispering in his body.

But he found that he couldn't control himself...

"boom--"

The man's body flew up.
