deformed bone

Madeleine didn't know what happened—or she did, she was just too terrified to remember that night.

That whole day was not going well. At noon, the distinguished gentleman, her mentor Zach took her to the high-end French restaurant, which was a place that Madeleine never thought she would enter in her whole life.Although she loves that place in her bones, she has passed the door of that restaurant countless times, looking at the slightly deformed figure inside through the small square handmade glass. It diffuses along the airflow brought up by people walking around.

If Madeleine was the little match girl then this restaurant was her turkey, her dream land, the heaven she knew in reality.

She had never spoken of her heart's desires to anyone else, and she knew what their ridicule would be like—until she joined the Adventists.The church gave her a safe and warm home, as well as her sisters who were also suffering, and she completely found her home here.At a mutual aid meeting, she whispered about the restaurant, the thin waitresses in black ties behind the glass doors, the languages ​​she didn't understand, the fresh champagne-colored roses by the door... Reverend Zara Barrick Just hosted that mutual aid meeting.

She dedicates her body to him several times to prove that she is prepared from both mind and body. She will be the most humble and loyal servant of the angel, and she will also try her best to wash away her sins.Finally, her hard work paid off, and she ended her observation period earlier than any other woman in the shelter.

(Although it is disrespectful to say so, no one can deny the hardships of the observation period: they have to fast from food and water to expel the dirt in their bodies, which has completely invaded their bodies over the long years to the point of expulsion After leaving them, there will be extra physical pain, and this pain is also a test of their steadfast souls to a certain extent. But after this period, everything will be fine, and they will repair themselves by breathing holy air , some people will even receive some revelations and holy omens from the Son of Light in the process - the only pain is the high price of those silver compressed air tanks - Madeleine even had to increase the frequency of receiving guests get more fixes).

After becoming an official believer, her redemption begins. She will receive free blessings, and she can also participate in higher-level masses...

As a celebration of becoming an official believer, Zara Barrick took her to the restaurant of her dreams. Although Madeleine was still in a five-day fasting period for the evening baptism, the pastor did this for her. It was enough for her to feel grateful - not to mention that he had kindly allowed her to take Isa.

Oh, what a happy little girl, Madeleine is even jealous of her daughter, she is still being beaten by her father and brothers at this age of Isa, and Isa can already sit upright. Lunch with the venerable priest in that pretty little chair.

Madeleine couldn't help crying for a while in the toilet, but she couldn't cry any tears, only felt that her nose and eyes hurt as if they had been burned, so she went back to the restaurant.

Then she saw that horrible and disgusting man, that "Helen".

Madeleine had countless guests once drooling over her body talking about him, oh, that pretty boy, that lovely face.

Obviously, many people are confused by that guy, but Madeleine won't, she knows the true colors of those people, and naturally knows Calvin's - she swears that guy is interested in Isa, and what he said about Isa Get close... Nobody treats a little girl this affectionately unless they want to pull that little girl into bed.

And Madeleine would never allow such a disgusting guy to hurt Isa.

Absolutely no.

Oh, oh, where did she say it... She met Calvin in the dining room, as she believed, the holy light of the priest put such a dirty scum to shame, and Calvin quickly lost escaped.

However, Zara Barrick seemed a little weird. He frequently asked Madeleine about the male prostitute. In the end, he didn't know what he thought of, and he would become very happy again.He spent the whole afternoon on the phone in the office, and when he walked out the door, he felt as if he was drunk, and even made a mistake about the time of Madeleine's baptism tonight.

As described in all the movies and novels, the hand baptism of Adventists will be held in a "mysterious and mysterious" place, and unless there is a leader with a high status, no one will be able to find that place—— It is precisely because of this that when the pastor led Madeleine through the dark and deserted alleys, Madeleine did not have any hesitation or doubt in her heart.In fact, she was still a little excited, the black robe on her body, the special cross (only formal believers can wear it), the leader walking briskly in front of her... At this moment, she is like She has another identity, the protagonist in a novel, the protagonist of a movie, and everything is like the beginning of an adventure, her sad and despicable identity is moving away from her.

But when Madeleine was immersed in her secret little thoughts, Zara Barrick's behavior became weird.

He trembled in a strange sound like the noose was turning (Madeleine couldn't find the source of the sound, she asked the pastor what it was about, but the other party ignored her).Then he started dancing and yelling, looking crazy like an over-drinking junkie.Madeleine was very frightened. She called the pastor many times in a row, but the other party was completely immersed in her hallucinations.He was screaming and whimpering, and it wasn't long before Madeleine saw him draw his gun.

All his behaviors were as if someone was communicating with him very close. Madeleine wrapped her robe tightly around herself and stepped back.

Something is wrong, oh, everything is wrong.

Madeleine stared wide-eyed at the air in front of Zara Barrick, there was nothing there.

A broken mirror against the wall reflected the red light of the opposite neon light onto the priest, and Madeleine felt her calf cramps—Zara Barrick in the red light looked as if her whole body was going outside. Bleeding.

After a while, maybe a few seconds, maybe a few minutes, maybe a century, at that moment, Madeleine had a hard time judging the passage of time... Zara Barrick suddenly muttered and put the gun Aligned myself.

"Oh no--"

Madeleine yelled in horror. She thought her high-decibel scream was enough to wake up the dead who had been buried in the ground for 30 years, but in fact she mumbled the word like a newborn kitten.

Then she saw Zara Barrick turn her head into a bursting watermelon with the gun.

"puff……"

"Pfft..."

"puff……"

……

Warm blood and brains, bone shards and minced meat fell in all directions.

Madeleine stood there stiffly. She lowered her head and saw a few patches of white slime on the black robe.

It took her another moment to realize that it was actually the shattered brain of the Reverend Mr. Reverend.

Her mind went blank, and even running away and crying became a matter of another world.

She stood there like that, dumbfounded, with a pale face, very bitter and hot bile poured into her throat, and she felt that she would faint in the next second.

Then, she saw a man approaching slowly.

He had a terrible smell on his body, which Madeleine was very familiar with, the fishy smell of bodily fluids and the sweet smell of blood. He was completely naked, and his figure was unusually tall and fit. As he walked, every time Every muscle is in extremely beautiful shape.However, there was a huge and frightening wound on his chest, maybe a burn?During the movement, blood was seeping from the edge of the wound.

But the man looked as if he didn't notice his wound at all, his expression was calm and relaxed.He has curly hair, and underneath the curly hair is an extremely handsome face.

Madeleine looked at him in a trance. This face made her feel familiar and even more frightened.Without any reason, Madeleine was very convinced that the man hadn't been there before—he had come out of the darkness, the darkness mixed with Zara Barrick's plasma.

"Good evening, ma'am."

The man smiled gracefully at Madeleine.

He has thin bright red lips, and a pair of shining white canine teeth.

Madeleine trembled, and she thought that the man would open his arms in the next second and rush towards her like a blood-sucking monster—but she was wrong.

The man greeted Madeleine before turning to Zara Barrick, "Zara Barrick without a head," to be precise.He bent down and picked up Mr. Pastor's hand, blood trickled down the edge of the blood-soaked jacket.

Then the man dragged Mr. Pastor's body to the side of the alley, and he lifted the mirror on the wall expressionlessly.Behind the mirror is a black hole.

It was as if someone had neatly removed the bricks on the wall, and the hole just appeared there, with no discernible purpose or where it came from.Obviously it's just a thin wall, but the corridor behind the hole looks extraordinarily long.

A whimper came from the depths of the cave...

Madeleine had heard such a sound in the canyon before, it was the sound of wind, and the wind would make such a sound when it passed through a long and narrow canyon.

The man lifted the priest's body, he placed its shoulders on the edge of the hole, and adjusted the position of Mr. Corpse's arms.Zara Barrick's body slid slowly toward the hole, and the man gave it a push on its buttocks, as if throwing a large bag of trash into the trash aisle.

"Puff" sound.

Zara Barrick's body was completely swallowed by the hole.

The hole was just right for the corpse, neither an inch wide nor an inch narrow, as if it was designed to swallow the corpse.

The man clapped his hands, moved the mirror back to its original position, and turned his face to Madeleine.

"Huh, this job is really disgusting."

he said with a smile.

Madeleine couldn't speak a word, her vision was blurred by tears, but she didn't miss the man's chest - the terrible wound was gone.

"Go away... go away a little... woo woo... demon..."

Madeleine cried out as she saw the man approaching.

She felt so strongly that she was the next to die that she seemed to be dead now.

The man squatted in front of the limp woman, and he stared at her with some distress.

Rather, he was staring at the necklace the woman had slipped off the outside of her robes.

In addition to the pendant used by formal Adventists that she bought for two hundred dollars, there was another necklace hanging around her neck, and of course the latter one was much less valuable.

In fact it was worthless: it was a handicraft class assignment at Isha's school.The little girl made this necklace out of a thin, slightly rusted chain and a mint green glass bead from a worn glass tassel on a stripper's panties.

She encountered some troubles when assembling the necklace, and it happened that Calvin was by her side at the time, so Calvin frowned and helped Isa complete her homework with hairpins and wire.Apparently, Isa admired Calvin's craftsmanship, and it didn't take long for her to give this simple necklace to her mother. She cunningly concealed Calvin's help, but told her mother that it was a gift.

"I love you, Mom," she said sweetly to Madeleine.

Madeleine, who loved the little girl more than anyone else, put the necklace around her neck and crossed it with the very precious Son of Light.

"He was dexterous with his hands and very patient."

Red Deer stroked the glass beads around Madeleine's neck with his fingers, he muttered as if he was talking to himself or to someone, he sighed.

Then he rudely ripped the necklace off Madeleine's neck.

"Well--"

Madeleine clutched her neck and called the beast in pain. The chain cut a long cut in her neck, and the blood gushed out. The severe pain made her eyes black out in bursts.

On the other side, Red Deer had already carefully put the necklace on his neck.

The rough lady's necklace hung on his body like that, which looked extraordinarily abrupt and ridiculous, but Red Deer himself didn't care at all.He even put the glass bead on his lips and kissed it affectionately.

"Ah..." He took a breath in satisfaction, "This is what he touched."

After a long time, he looked down at Madeleine.

"Consider it as your price. I should have killed you, but this time I will allow you to live."

He stroked the necklace around his neck and said.

"You're a lucky woman, very lucky."

The sound of the red deer gradually dissipated in the alley.

But Madeleine had no way to respond to this—before that, she had fainted due to excessive blood loss and extreme panic.
