Siren on Grey Island

Extra five:

Avery knew that the death of his adoptive mother was not an accident, but he couldn't know more inside information, which made it difficult for him to even determine the target of revenge.

Originally, after Avery grew up, Dean's wife stopped dressing him up as a girl.But when his adoptive mother passed away, he put on women's clothes again, and the residents on the island only thought that he was a change in temperament caused by excessive grief.Occasionally, when others talked about him with sympathy or ridicule, Ellie didn't care, so he simply changed his name to Lena.

A year later, he let his long hair hang down. People who didn't know him even thought he was a beautiful girl. Only he himself knew the reason for his doing so.

From the anniversary of her adoptive mother's death, Avery went to sing on the coast where the accident happened every night. The siren's singing has a deceptive magic power.He put his adoptive mother's skirt on his body, and stepped on the sand with bare feet.The loose hair fluttered with the sea breeze.

In less than a week, Avery learned everything in this way.That night, Roderick knelt by the seaside in a daze, and confessed to the "ghost" he thought he couldn't stop, almost all of them.Only at this time did he understand the real reason for his adoptive mother's death.And the candidates for his revenge, Dean and Roderick.

Thinking of the pain his adoptive mother suffered in his heart before he passed away, he felt that it would be too cheap to kill these two people directly.In addition to constantly inflicting mental torture on Dean and Roderick by singing at night, he played the role of a well-behaved daughter during the day.

Saying a hint or two from time to time made Dean live in a state of doubt and anxiety almost all day long.

In the beginning, due to his abundant inspiration, Dean could paint day and night to paralyze himself, and his painting gradually reached its peak.Later, as old inspirations faded, Dean felt more and more painful to write.Just like the treasures he once got, he lost bit by bit, and he had no choice but to watch the fountain of inspiration dry up.

Dean's character became more and more irritable and weird. When he had an attack, he smashed his bedroom to pieces.If the studio hadn't been locked in advance, it is estimated that none of the paintings would have been spared.Day after day, he almost relies on alcohol to continue painting.

The longer the time passed, the more Dean's level dropped.Even connoisseurs who had given him good reviews before began to criticize his current paintings.Even more sharp words, bluntly said, "Dean is not worthy of being a painter at all, his art is deception, and the paintings at the peak are just that he hired a gunman to ghostwrite."

Such outside remarks magnified Dean's inner fear of the invisible sword several times.Eventually, he could no longer bear the pain.His obsession with paintings undoubtedly made him sink deeper and deeper, and Lena praised how good his original peak paintings were in front of him from time to time, and kept encouraging him to cheer up.

This made Dean's greed for Ellis Valley regenerate like a weed.All kinds of dark thoughts breed and develop in his heart.At the same time, Roderick's situation is not optimistic.The singing at night, like a reminder to his death, made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

After another sleepless night, Roderick headed to the casino.The night there was very lively, with the sounds of craps being thrown and gamblers shouting endlessly, this kind of noise gave Roderick a sense of security.He gradually lingered at the gaming table, betting more and more chips.When he was finally struggling to make ends meet, Roderick thought of Dean in order to hide from his parents.

He threatened Dean with the matter of Dean's wife, took money from Dean again and again, and then went to the casino.Dean was almost responsive to him at first, but after he found out that Roderick's desire was a bottomless pit that would never be filled, he thought about the sacrifice again, and his sinful thoughts spread uncontrollably.
