Shh, I'm behind you thirteen
Shh, I'm behind you thirteen
The clue she got yesterday should be true. The words inside can correspond to the things in the church. Like the tree, like the church's iconic decoration.
The feedback from these little people was enough to confirm that An's room was pitch black. They failed to find any key clues other than the notebook and these things.
Can find these clues. Maybe An let them find out on purpose.
Gu Ci felt that he needed to go for a walk and have a deep communication with a person with complex ideas. Gu Ci had a feeling that tonight might be a little different.
When the bell rang again, the candle went out again, and Ann's voice sounded like a ghost from far away.
"The beginning of Monday is a prologue, with heavy rain falling and embracing the gloomy rainy day. The Almighty God accepts the believers' prayers, but the believers have no way to go home. The hospitable nuns keep the believers, and their sweet words make the believers more attached to this place.
Tuesday's rainy day was a prelude, with isolated believers praying in the church. They firmly believed that the Almighty God would save them, and they repaired the church in the hope that the Lord would see it. The sound of the ancient bells turned into painful groans that rang out over and over again, reminding these believers.
The rainy weather continued on Wednesday, and disease, hunger and cold attacked like demons. Many people fell down but there was no way to save them. The devil plants seeds in people's hearts but no one notices; cries for help are heard but no one lends a helping hand. By this time the devil had already begun to act the night before.
Thursday was a sad day. Kind believers voluntarily sacrificed their lives for their beliefs and gained eternal life. The gates of hell slowly opened…"
Gu Ci listened carefully to An's voice and realized that this conversation contained much more content than last night. If you combine this passage with the notebook An just showed, it does make sense. But if separated, they can also form a different story.
Gu Ci was thinking about the meaning behind these words when he heard the sound of high heels outside, followed by An's voice coming from outside the door.
"Resign..."
An didn't get a corresponding answer. His voice became louder, with a hint of fear in it. "Are you asleep?"
The voice was so close that it sounded like someone whispering beside your pillow. Ordinary people would probably get goosebumps hearing it, and might even want to get up and stay away. But Gu Ci was in a good mood, she even pulled her quilt.
Seeing that there was no response from inside, An outside asked sharply, "Ci, why did you take my notebook? Are you an intruder like them? Why do you treat me like this? Aren't we supposed to be the closest people in the world? You will go to hell if you betray me, why..."
Like the most disturbing noise, An even knocked on the door loudly. The loud knock on the door was particularly obvious in the dark night. Normally, such an obvious knock on the door would be heard more or less, but other people seemed to be unable to hear the sound and did not react at all.
"Why!"
An knocked on the door hard, as if he had been greatly deceived. The door was obviously very fragile but it wouldn't break no matter how hard I knocked. An's irritability grew gradually, as if he wanted to destroy the whole world immediately. She was still a little slow to react until the door was opened unexpectedly.
"Ann, what's up so late?"
Gu Ci was wearing a thin coat and his hair was slightly messy. He looked at An Yuwen gently, without any anger at being disturbed.
"you..."
Why did the door suddenly open? This is not normal. A normal person would shiver and hide in bed and wait for the night to pass.
An stared blankly at the little fellow in front of him who had just been easily tempted to light the lantern behind him, and his annoyance was instantly swept away. The depressed mood that had been filling my mind just now disappeared the moment I saw her.
Is she back?
She suddenly regretted that she had been too wild just now and worried that she had scared the person in front of her. After observing her expression carefully, An felt that there should be nothing serious, and he felt strangely relaxed.
"Ann, what's the matter so late?"
Gu Ci lit the lamp and hung it behind herself, then looked at An in front of her who seemed to be unable to understand why he came to knock on her door in the middle of the night. Moreover, the peace now is very different from the peace in normal times.
If An in the daytime is the solemn and solitary person in the painting, then An at this moment is the terrifying and crazy knife-wielding man ready to reap the lives of others at any time.
It's exactly the same nun's uniform, but it gives people a different feeling. The little hands that were supposed to be holding the Bible now had two long weapons similar to daggers. The eyes that were originally calm and dead turned red at this moment. There was blood flowing out of his eye sockets, sliding down the skin on his face and onto his clothes and the ground.
The corners of his mouth seemed to have been cut and sewn together by something. Exposing dense stitches, black sutures and whitish flesh, with many blackened blood clots all over it, the whole person looked extremely terrifying.
At this moment, her nun's uniform was not as clean and tidy as it was during the day. At this moment, the nun's uniform was covered with dust, and part of the clothes had been burned and stuck to the legs. The most eye-catching thing was the long cross necklace with burnt edges still hanging around her neck.
Through the faint light, one can vaguely see some burn marks on An's arms, thighs, and back of his neck. The large scars left on it became evidence that could not be buried.
"I..."
An subconsciously put his hands behind his back, not wanting the person in front of him to see his embarrassment. But she forgot that she looked different at night and during the day. How could a normal person not be scared after seeing this?
An didn't know what to say. For a moment, her mind was blank and she couldn't remember what she should do. The moment she saw Gu Ci, she had forgotten what she had lost and was only afraid of disturbing her.
After all, Xiao Ci is such a gentle and kind person.
Seeing that Gu Ci was still staring at her, An even took two steps back in panic and stiffened her neck, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a combat nun?"
Gu Ci looked at the bloody footprints that went up along the bleeding calves, past the bloody skirt and wet chest, and then to her bleeding eyes. He moved aside and made way for her. "Come in and sit for a while."
An was stunned. She rubbed her hands on her skirt nervously and doubted what she heard. She looked into Gu Ci's eyes as if she wanted to find some other emotions in her eyes.
"You want to invite me in?"! I'm behind you fourteen
Shh! I'm behind you fourteen
An pointed at himself, as if he still couldn't believe that he was invited in in this state.
You have to know that people in the past were very afraid of me, and would run away when they saw her terrifying appearance from a distance. Even Mary would be disgusted by her appearance.
But Xiao Ci...
An squatted down and knelt on one knee. The blood on her leg instantly came into contact with the ground, forming an obvious mark. She carefully stretched out her hand and touched Gu Ci's face with her fingertips. The bloody tears in her eyes flowed faster, leaving marks on her face like melted candles and wetting her clothes along her chin, neck and body.
It wasn't very obvious when An was standing, but when she squatted down, she could see that her originally neat nun's uniform was twisted and deformed as if it had been pulled by an external force, and the terrible scars on her chest and neck could be vaguely seen.
An was a little excited and didn't know how to touch the person in front of him. I wanted to use my palm, but realizing that my palm was too dirty, I didn't dare to touch it.
She now had a strong suspicion that it was her Xiao Ci who had returned. Only Xiao Ci wouldn't dislike her appearance!
Gu Ci looked at An who was full of emotions and did not react. She had originally wanted An to calm down, but she did not expect An to be so emotional.
She felt a moment of sadness, as if someone in her memory had once risked his life to protect her and hoped for her return.
But who are those people?
Gu Ci slowly reached out and held An's cold and rough hand and leaned closer, as if he could find comfort and peace of mind this way.
The unfamiliar emotions filled her heart and made her shrink. She looked at An who was so close to her, and saw her stroking her hair tenderly but not daring to get too close, so she closed her eyes.
"Ci, is this your name?"
When An saw Gu Ci's wholehearted trust in her, she couldn't help but want to smile, but this action would involve the muscles of her face. She frowned in pain and didn't dare to repeat the action. She was also afraid that her weird smile would scare Gu Ci.
They snuggled up to each other like a pair of ordinary sisters enjoying a leisurely afternoon. Unfortunately, it's not afternoon here, it's midnight. There is no warm sunshine here, only endless darkness.
An finally found a place for her soul. She stroked the soft hair carefully. Feeling the momentary stiffness of the person under her, she lowered her voice and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
When Gu Ci heard An's seemingly casual question, he suddenly opened his eyes. She didn't move when she felt the hand patting her back was harmless. She thought for a moment and wanted to say something but was interrupted by a scream in the distance.
An instantly made all the spikes on her body stand up. She looked at the exact place where the scream came from and patted Gu Ci, "Go in. Don't open the door no matter who knocks."
After hesitating for a while, An took off the necklace on her body and put it on Gu Ci's neck. Then she squatted down again and looked into Gu Ci's eyes. As if she was talking to a younger sister, she told Gu Ci very seriously:
"Don't go out, and don't take off this necklace! Be good!"
An pushed Gu Ci in.
When I left, I turned off the lantern and closed the door. Then the sound of high heels gradually faded away.
Gu Ci, who had been given clear arrangements, hadn't reacted yet. Her wheelchair just turned a few circles, and not only did the lights go out, the door was closed, and she herself was already beside the bed.
Gu Ci looked at the cross necklace and stroked it carefully. It was obviously a cold and dead object, but at this moment it suddenly had a hint of warmth.
Gu Ci felt the bottom of the cross necklace carefully many times with his hands as if he had touched something. From the direction of the green engravings, he could understand what the two words meant.
Ci-An
But...she is not the so-called Ci, nor is she the person An is waiting for.
Gu Ci lowered her head in the dark, and no one could see through the girl's confused look in the night.
In the night, the nuns walked into the church in the barely visible light. The sound of their high heels hitting the floor was like a piece of music being played into a grave, clear and tense.
Before we reached the church, we heard a strange sound inside the church, a bit like the sound of someone blowing bubbles underwater, but more like the sound of burnt porridge bubbles bursting, accompanied by a slippery sound similar to that of an aquatic animal crawling on the ground.
There is a dim kerosene lamp in the church. It overlooks the entire church from the top of the tall cross, emitting a faint light that seems like God's mercy and also like God's inaction.
The first thing An saw when he came in was a thin nun lying under the cross. There was a look of confusion on her frightened face. Seems to be wondering why it is like this. She stared wide-eyed at the corner where the church turned, as if there was someone there who could save her.
Her inappropriate nun's uniform had now turned into rags hanging on her body, only covering some marks on her body but not the sin that had happened to her.
Her hands and feet were bent in a strange way. It looked as if someone had broken her hands and feet in a brutal way so that she couldn't fight back.
She was originally thin and small, like a bamboo pole, which would break if someone bent it lightly. She couldn't even make an extra call. Due to her long-term physical weakness, she could not endure the torture and died in her own doubt and pain.
"Oh~Ann, you're here."
The obese Mary turned around and looked at Ann, with several huge tentacles flying around in the air, showing her excitement. She pointed to a faint black cloud on the cross and almost flew with joy. "Ann, you see, the Lord is merciful. He will come to save us from our suffering!"
An looked at Mary, who looked like a giant octopus, without hiding her disgust. She turned the weapon in her hand and looked at the almost invisible black mist and sneered, "Master, you are so disgusting, no wonder you are so disgusting too."
Mary waved her tentacles in disapproval. "Ann, don't forget that the Lord's coming will bring salvation to all of us. Don't be so rude to the Lord!"
An's weapon stopped working obediently in his hand. An curled his lips and looked at Mary, who looked like a piece of fat meat. He snorted coldly, "Save your head, you disgusting tentacle monster."
!
Mary angrily swung her tentacles back and forth, and a dark aura slowly emerged from her face, which was covered with layers of flesh. "An!"
Mary screamed, "You are so rude, you will go to hell!"
An scratched his ears with his sharp nails and looked at Mary with disdain, "Incompetent people like to shout nonsense. They have no manners."
