American Horror Story: A Tale of Terror from Silent Hill
Chapter 31 Intelligence
Chapter 31 Intelligence
Socially awkward, at the bottom of the class, and an incompetent daughter.
In the records of the Book of Strange Stories, these are the three labels that best represent Maria.
She lacks friends on the social level, and has only one friend, Lily, who seems sincere but actually treats her as a supporting role and a plastic friend.
Campus life was not ideal either. She was often alone and could only wear headphones and pretend to be busy, immersing herself in the world of music.
The most hateful thing is that there is a bad guy named Mark, who, together with his cronies, has been openly targeting her everywhere.
In her family life, her weak mother and strong father never recognized her.
This made her, who was already inferior and lacking in self-confidence, even more sensitive and timid. Even when she was bullied, she did not dare to speak out.
But after all, she is her biological daughter, and her parents still love her.
Even Lily, who was just a friend on the surface, had helped her.
Maria relied on the little love and warmth she had and tried her best to maintain normalcy.
But she was walking on thin ice and her ability to endure was close to the limit. If she suffered one or two setbacks, she would be soon to fall into the abyss.
The key point is the spirit with a similar appearance - Alan.
Baling stares at the newly added page of the book of strange stories.
Under the dim light, Maria, wearing a beautiful dance dress, looked at the mirror with a sad face.
In the mirror, Maria's painful and embarrassing crying face was reflected, but beside her cowardly crying face in the mirror was a crazy and cold face.
The two faces in the mirror seem to be gradually merging, which also means a change in the dominance of the body.
Snapped!
Close the book of strange stories.
The straw patterns on the diary faded away instantly, and it turned back into the ordinary "Baling Diary".
Looking through the diary again, I found that what was originally just a few observation notes had undergone many changes.
……
——January 22, 20XX.
Three days have passed since that chance encounter on the street.
Now, I live in Maria's home.
Every day at school, Maria left with a gloomy face and returned in anger.
From my observation, Maria is a creature who is used to being bullied and holding her breath in the outside world. She has an extraordinary spirit of endurance.
At home, her tendency is usually to
Go home emo, smoke and calm down.
Impotent and furious, the little bear vents his anger.
As a silent observer, I have read many stories from her cowardly face.
But what appears on the surface may not be the truth, and I hope to get her answer.
and also.
As a twin who doesn't know which is the older sister or the younger sister, I am also curious about why they are entangled in this.
Maria: I want to be a normal person, not be bullied. I want to be pretty and make more friends. I really want my parents to pay more attention to me and praise me.
Alan: I really want to be a normal human being.
……
hiss!
After reading it, Baling fell into silence for the first time in a long time and didn't know what to say.
"Now, in America, being a normal person is such a heavy dream?"
But if you put yourself in their shoes, Baling will have a better understanding.
A person, from a tiny fertilized egg, proliferates and differentiates, and after a long period of development, is born as a healthy baby without deformities or genetic diseases.
From the moment he was born, he had eliminated hundreds of millions of competitors.
If you grow up along the way, you will not lack the love of family, will not be troubled by poverty, and will have a few friends, and you will grow up healthy and happy.
This seemingly ordinary experience is actually a miracle.
Don't take what you have for granted.
Rich and poor, weak and strong, death and life.
Or perhaps, many things have already been defined at birth.
But acquired efforts can allow you to catch up, to change, to break limitations, and to shape the future you want.
Damn! It was because of this belief that Baling won the resurrection match!
The yearning for beauty is rooted in people's hearts.
At this moment, Baling suddenly understood. He already knew Maria and Alan's feelings, and understood their pursuit.
As long as he uses his wisdom, he can definitely win easily.
Sitting cross-legged on top of the cabinet, Baling lowered his head and glanced at the bed below with his small eyes. After thinking for a moment, a plan formed in his mind.
night.
After dinner, a bath, and another day, Maria lay down on her comfortable bed.
Today, perhaps because she was lucky, she didn't run into that damn Mark, so her mood was a little better than usual.
He habitually reached out to grab the stuffed bear.
Maria, however, failed to find her beloved doll in the familiar place.
what happened?
Maria turned sideways, her slender arm swung past, but still came up empty-handed.
Where's her bear!
Maria stood up in surprise and searched the room carefully, trying to find the stuffed bear that she might have accidentally placed in a corner.
Once, twice.
She was convinced.
She had searched the room thoroughly, even under the bed where it was impossible to fit, Maria scanned it with the flashlight on her phone.
“No! No!”
"Where exactly is it?"
Maria panicked. She rushed out, went to her parents' room and knocked on the door.
"Mom, have you ever come into my room and taken my teddy bear?"
"I didn't do that, honey. Did you lose something?"
"My bear is missing!" Maria's voice was a little choked. Although she often beat her stuffed bear, that didn't mean she didn't like it.
"Maria, it's too late now. I'll help you look for it tomorrow."
"If it's really gone, I'll buy you a new one, how about that? I promise!"
Maria's mother comforted her gently.
"Okay, you should go back to bed. You're almost eighteen and you're still crying because you lost a toy." Father Dan Brennan frowned and told his daughter to go back to bed.
The mother stopped talking and just watched Maria turn and leave.
boom!
Close the door.
Maria returned to her bed dejectedly and curled up.
It turns out that today is still an unlucky day.
It would be better to be teased and bullied if the price of luck is her stuffed bear.
It was a birthday gift her father bought her when she just started high school, and she has always cherished it.
Wow! I can't hold back my tears any longer.
Tears flowed down, leaving clear tear marks on her beautiful face.
The sobbing sound echoed softly in the bedroom.
Baling in the darkness shook his head speechlessly.
If you know today, why should you be in the beginning.
The ragdoll bear is dead, you chose it!
Baling did not feel the slightest bit guilty about his behavior. Having once hidden inside a doll and been punched hundreds of times, Baling knew the pain of a stuffed bear.
He just helped the teddy bear to get rid of it.
He did all this for Maria's own good, sometimes it just requires sacrifice!
The spirit of Ragdoll Bear in heaven will surely feel comforted.
Baling watched Maria crying quietly. Slowly, Maria became tired and fell asleep with her body relaxed.
Baling moved silently, opened Maria's backpack, took out the headphones inside, and attached a note.
“Do you want to know the meaning of life?”
