deformed bone

Carlton's pupils shrank to a tiny dot.

He stared at "Red Deer" with an expression as if he saw a ghost.

"By 'doors' you mean... the 'doors' you're talking about?"

He heard a harsh sound coming from his throat, as if his vocal cords were being stretched.

This is a weird question, but Carlton believes that "Red Deer" understands it—including the tense escort officers in the office. Their expressions almost changed when the words fell. It got weird.

Cardan knew that they had also heard the eccentric remarks "Red Hart" had made after his capture—those "doors."

In fact at the beginning no one thought that "Red Deer" was going to be sent to prison, he seemed more suitable for going to a mental hospital because everything he said was so... so incomprehensible and weird.

He was very much adamant that he had to torture and kill his victims that way - simply because they were the ones who had already opened the "door".

Who opened the "door"?

"Red Deer" didn't explain too much what a "door" is, even after the harsh questioning, he just shrugged a little tiredly.

"If you have to explain, you can use the 'gates of hell' to understand them..." After actually mentioning the "gate", "Red Deer"'s attitude became a little more solemn, he turned his head, and added after a moment of contemplation Said, "...But let me remind you, behind those 'doors', there is a more... untouchable place than the so-called hell..."

The adjective he used is very special, "untouchable" - the arraigner's comment on the statement shows that "Red Deer" finally changed his mood when this word was mentioned, and the young serial killer consciously avoided using it. Specific words describe that place.

During the initial confession, "Red Deer" had a calm attitude and a calm face.He is a young man with almost perfect family affairs, extremely high IQ, highly educated and handsome.If he's not a serial killer, he's one of the enviable God's favorites.It is hard to imagine that he would kill so many people because of such delusions,

When he was talking about those nonsense, he showed a kind of patience and upbringing revealed after being soaked in money. He looked at the interrogator with a strange face, and there was a hint of pity and fatigue in his eyes.

"Those who open the door...they will bring trouble to the world."

Finally, "Red Deer" said vaguely.

If this is the case, then "Red Deer" is just an ordinary serial killer who tries to deceive the jury and judges by relying on nonsense, hoping to escape legal punishment by virtue of mental barriers - and the same person probably has A dozen.

However, the subsequent in-depth investigation of the victims of the "Red Deer" made the whole situation slide in an uncontrollable direction.

In the beginning, the police accidentally discovered an unusually hidden basement in the backyard of the victim Jimmy Douglas, a night department store security guard, and in the refrigerator in the basement was Jimmy’s wife who disappeared 13 years ago. Daughter and son.By the standards of frozen corpses they were well preserved, the police initially thought they were one of the works of "Red Deer", until they found Jimmy's own semen inside the bodies of those three poor people... Then there was a lot of unbearable The eye-catching, scalp-numbing sexual abuse images are hidden in the mezzanine of the basement.It wasn’t until this time that the police discovered that Jimmy Douglas had been torturing his wife and children with inhuman methods until they were killed alive, even though his throat was slit by the “Red Deer” and the blood from his whole body was emitted. In this way, this terrifying man still did not let go of their corpses...

The facts recorded in those video materials are enough to send Jimmy to the electric chair countless times-provided that "Red Deer" didn't kill him.

Some subsequent investigations made people even more horrified to find that all the people killed by "Red Deer" seemed to have a dark side that they didn't know. Human beings are no different, if not for their deaths...if not for the crazy words of "Red Deer" that led the police to investigate the traces of their lives, maybe they can safely wear human skins to do those horrible things all their lives of evil.

...as the "red deer" said, they will bring trouble to the world.

If it weren't for a boring, materialistic capitalist society, or if "Red Deer" hadn't tortured and killed his fellow inmates and a prison guard again while awaiting a review in the prison in Triparia, California, this handsome and young The young killer could have avoided being a death row inmate--not an easy task even for criminals.

Carlton loathes...or fears this weird young man from the bottom of his heart.

And he believes that he is not the only one, in fact, after the "Red Deer" entered the Jay Bay Federal Penitentiary, everyone here, from the prisoners to the guards, was about to be scared crazy - too much that cannot be explained by science Things came here along with the "Red Deer".

Something dark and invisible is gathering, as long as you have any sensitivity to the world you can feel it... The air is getting stale and cold, and every breath is getting hard.Even the most tyrannical prisoners unconsciously become wary, like a stray dog ​​subconsciously tucking its tail between its legs when it is in danger.

It was at this time that Imogen proposed to let Ire, the Son of Light, give the dying mass for the "Red Deer", because "the filth here can only be dispelled by a true angel."

Carleton balked at the offer for some time until that day came.

It was a busy night at work, and Carlton realized that it was nine o'clock in the evening after finishing the paperwork. He picked up the briefcase, turned off the lights, and walked out of the office.

And that door was directly opposite his office door.

It is quietly embedded in the wall on the other side of the corridor, as if it has been here since the prison office building was built.It has a boring gray door panel, and the handle seems to have become shiny after being rubbed many times. Above the handle is a long and narrow rectangular glass window, and in the middle of the glass interlayer is a diamond-shaped grid that is enough to reach the barbed wire.

It was pitch black behind the door, and Carlton could see his own pale reflection on the glass.

Above that door is a metal plate that reads:

[Carlton Warmington Jay Bay Federal Penitentiary Warden's Office]

Carlton turned his head and looked behind him, his office door, which also had an identical nameplate on it.

He opens and closes this door countless times every day, thinking that he is familiar with it, but he didn't realize that this door looks so strange until this moment.

The door behind him and the one across the corridor present a near-perfect mirror image, and Carlton swears by his memory of working at Jay Bay Prison for more than 20 years—he knows his office is facing the corridor.

Corridors, walls, no doors.

There are no damn doors.

He felt like he had fallen into a dream, and the subtle smile on the corner of "Red Deer" appeared in his mind inexplicably.

He found himself terrified and confused, with the odd door so close that he could pull it open just two steps forward - perhaps with a lock?But Carlton intuitively knew that even if the door was locked there would be no problem, the key on his body would open "it" easily.

Carlton didn't know what was behind that, he took a step forward, but stopped immediately.

He darted back into his office and slammed the door shut, before slumping to the floor like a terrified eight-year-old.

He was panting heavily, his mind went blank, and his whole body was trembling.

A few minutes later, someone knocked on his door.

"Sir? Has something happened?"

It took Carlton a long time to sort out his emotions. He almost collapsed and opened the door tremblingly, and saw the familiar prison guard Carl (he was in charge of guarding the screen door at the end of the corridor. Carlton went out to drink beer with him several times) and brought Staring at him inside the door with a hint of vigilance and worry.

"I heard a door slam here—and your office light was off, I didn't see you come out..."

Carlton looked over his shoulder towards the office directly opposite, which was bare except for the whitewashed walls standing there coldly.

He changed offices the next day.

Then he found Imogen and agreed to his proposal.
