deformed bone

The dream that made Isaac lose his composure and fall off the chair was too real for him to bear. Of course, all nightmares are called nightmares because they are scary enough.

However, that nightmare seemed to be more than just scary.

Isaac dreamed of Calvin, his worrisome brother standing in a dark void, behind a very unsettling red wooden door, with its old doors and rattles. Seeing the shiny brass handle made Isaac feel vaguely familiar, and he wondered where he might have seen that door before.But that door was just a small problem. What really made Isaac feel extremely panic was the "thing" standing next to Calvin.

Isaac didn't know how to describe it—it looked vaguely human, but there was an indescribably inhuman aura all over its body.

Isaac swore the guy was the scariest creature he'd ever seen.It has a handsome, human male face (that face, like the door, brought an uncomfortable familiarity to Isaac), but on the surface of the almost perfect body is covered with a layer of Thin black fur, on its back, there is a group of illusory black shadows wriggling, from a distance it looks like the tentacles of some legendary creature, changing constantly.Its arms were as muscular as a beast, and it was now firmly stuck on Calvin's thin shoulders.

【Do not--】

Isaac wanted to scream, but in the dream he was firmly blocked by an invisible membrane on the other side, and he could only watch helplessly as the monster took Calvin into its embrace bit by bit .

It seemed to be saying something to Calvin, and Isaac couldn't hear it clearly, but he clearly saw the angry expression on Calvin's face after hearing those words.And that monster was responding to Calvin's anger.The monster began to transform.

Starting from the back, those black tentacles that made Isaac feel creepy and disgusting, the changing outline of the tentacles became solid little by little, the black fur on its body became thicker, and its figure began to swell. Transformation, the spine began to arch back little by little... The last deformation was the monster's head.His nose began to elongate, and his teeth protruded from the gap between his lips. Its teeth were unusually sharp.

Fur, teeth, red eyes and rising backs, and ears tapering to point.

The monster transformed into a huge, humanoid black dog in an instant.

It kept howling at Calvin, its teeth and claws were deeply embedded in Calvin's flesh.

[Let go of him, you bloody monster——]

Isaac felt extremely anxious.

The matter between Calvin and the black dog in front of him made Isaac feel unlucky, even...even a little blasphemous.

The red door slowly opened a crack, and Isaac was sure that he saw countless pale hands protruding from behind the crack, and those hands reached out to Gal who had gradually blended together. A chimera of Wen and a monster.

The most frightening thing is far more than that (of course, the scene was enough to make Isaac feel disgusted and horrified), and what made Isaac's spirit completely broken was Calvin's inadvertently turned face.

It was a face without any human expression, without a hint of emotion.

That face made Isaac's worrying brother a different person... no, not a person.

is a god.

is an angel.

But only not human beings, not Isaac's younger brother.

That is, at the moment when he met those deep purple pupils, Isaac heard a part of his body tell him clearly, "You have completely lost your brother."

Isaac then woke up in pain and fear.

He believed that his face was probably quite ugly, because after a while, Joyce came back and patted him on the shoulder.

"dinner?"

the man asked simply.

Isaac glanced at the time, then rubbed the space between his brows.Taking time to have a little dinner with Joyce is not a very pleasant thing, and Isaac can imagine that there is a high chance that he will see Han by Joyce's side.

Maybe the two men just wanted to chat with him about the case somewhere other than the police station—or a new round of insinuations.

But inexplicably, today's Isaac felt that he really needed to breathe.He nodded and agreed to Joyce's suggestion that they'd go to the Red Lattice next to the police station for a bite to eat, to catch a breath or something.

But what Isaac didn't know was that the decision he made under that inexplicable impulse would eventually cause him to miss something.

At the moment when he and Joyce were sitting on the faded plastic-skinned long sofa in the red plaid restaurant, a haggard woman staggered into the police station and cautiously stated that she had some " "Amazing" stuff needs to be shown to the supervisor in charge of the Blue Diamond Crown Hotel bombing.

If Isaac had been there and had noticed the little altercation between the woman and some tired policeman, he would probably have barely recognized Madeleine in the haggard, unusually gray-faced woman.

"I'm sorry, but the information you provided..."

In a temporarily separated office, a young policeman flicked through the documents with some hesitation, he hesitated to speak to Madeleine.

In fact, he knew very well that he probably shouldn't have brought the woman in front of him into the office—this behavior might give her an illusion and stimulate her delusions even more seriously.

Yes, delusional.

It was the only word that came to mind when the officer heard Madeleine's words.

Madeleine told the police the so-called "information" she had obtained very seriously, and she insisted that...the fire that happened in the Blue Diamond Hotel was a punishment from God.

"The Adventists have sinned."

Madeleine stared at the policeman in front of her with wide eyes and repeated in a murmur.

"I know it sounds crazy but it's true...those people use luxury hotels as transit centers to sell beautiful boys and girls...and they let brainwashed people sleep with the rich and powerful ..."

"Ma'am, I'm sorry..."

"Their behavior angered the real angels, who let their hounds open the gates of hell and unleash the raging will-o'-the-wisps...the will-o'-the-wisps that would burn the bodies of all sinners, and their souls... Hee hee...their souls were brought back to the bottom of hell by the hounds..."

The policeman couldn't help feeling a headache.

He was already very tired, so tired that he almost couldn't hold back his expression, and he already regretted his damn pity, yes, it was pity that he brought Madeleine into the office , also brought this tricky trouble to himself.

He didn't understand why he would sit here and listen to the ramblings of a crazy woman who was obviously mentally disturbed, just because of her bleak appearance?

Thinking of this, the police officer couldn't help but glance at Madeleine again.

In fact, the police officer's pity and sympathy were not out of pure stupidity.Madeleine had escaped from the hospital secretly, and she had almost died the day before.A large amount of blood loss made her whole body appear a terrible grayish white. She was as thin as a thin layer of skin stretched on her skeleton, her cheeks and eye sockets were deeply sunken, and her lips were full of cracks. When she speaks, thin and dull blood will ooze from those cracks.

And the great despair and an indescribable sense of mission in her eyes made her whole body appear strangely excited - like a cluster of firewood burning to the end, the temperament on her made people very excited. It was difficult to refuse her request.

"I'm really sorry, but what you're saying—there's probably no way to enter our files as official information."

The young police officer said dryly to Madeleine.

Madeleine's voice instantly became sharp.

"Why?! What I said is obviously true! You shouldn't bother with the shitty Blue Diamond Hotel at all! They should all die—they're all sinners—"

"Miss!"

"You should investigate the Adventists! That deceitful, disgusting sect! Do you know how many people died because of them?! They are the most terrible criminals in this country, they are..."

"Please calm down!"

The young police officer couldn't help interrupting Madeleine's words. The latter's eyes at that moment made him feel a little creepy.But at this time, the door of the temporary office was pushed open.

An older and more experienced police officer opened the door and walked in.

"Sir!"

"You go out first... I will do it here."

The older police officer glanced at Madeleine and said in a low voice.

Then he did it again in front of Madeleine.

Madeline couldn't help sitting up straight because of his seriousness and earnestness.

"Sir, please listen to me, everything I said is true, the fire..."

But what Madeleine didn't expect was that she got a much colder response than the young police officer.

"The bombing at the Blue Diamond Hotel has nothing to do with the Adventists you mentioned, Ms. Madeleine." The older police officer said, "You should go to receive psychiatric treatment and social assistance instead of wasting here Loaded police force, let him listen to your nonsense here."

While speaking, the elderly police officer opened the file folder in his hand.

"Your daughter was tragically killed in the Angel Town fire. This is a huge tragedy. My sympathy and condolences, but you should hold the arsonists who caused the fires accountable instead of pointing all the anger at Advent. group."

"No, it's not...listen to me..."

"Ma'am, you can ask a lawyer to sue Adventist caretakers against you, as many people do. I don't think it's a good thing for you to come here to vent your anger at a time like this, to make up information to mislead the police."

The older police officer said he seemed completely oblivious to Madeleine's crumbling and emaciated condition.

"I'm not lying, everything I said is true...I saw it with my own eyes...that man made me see everything..."

Madeleine murmured nervously, her eye sockets were a little red, but the many days of torture had made her unable to shed any tears.
