"I found you."

The handsome and tall man hugged Calvin tightly and whispered sweetly.

From that hoarse, deep and extremely alluring voice, one can tell that the soul that is currently using this body is Red Deer.It's just that compared to the usual Red Deer, now his pupils are flashing with more compelling danger and madness.

"I finally...found you, my little baby, my little dove, my Calvin."

The red deer leaned down, almost insanely kissing and stroking devoutly on the unconscious Calvin.However, whenever he touched Calvin, scorched marks would appear on his skin, and a stench of scorched protein would permeate the air.He did look as if he had been burned, and the wound would have made any normal person cry out in pain, but Red Deer didn't seem to care.

"My angel..."

The red stag continued to whisper until the arrival of some unexpected visitor interrupted his dreamlike trance.

"Hey fag, what the hell do you think you're doing here?!"

It was a young man, or rather, a punk, who appeared behind Red Deer and Calvin.

His car was parked on the side of the road. It was a dilapidated second-hand pickup truck.

If Mrs. Anna were still here, she would have recognized the pickup truck, as well as the young man who had taken her, Darling, and the nun to the Advent Church.

It's just that compared with Catherine, who is very professional, this young man is obviously not very professional.He still wears an Adventist emblem around his neck, but his attire, his demeanor, and his eyes all reveal his essence as a gang member.

Neither he nor Catherine had any devotion to the Adventists.But that doesn't mean he won't lay hands on an innocent dog because of that shit sect... and it doesn't stop him from driving those dazed, stupid believers to an Adventist church.

"Phew, that's why he let you come here."

Red Deer turned his head to look at the little gangster, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly.

After meeting Red Deer's eyes, the young gangster who had looked arrogant and domineering before suddenly turned pale.

"Wait, you—"

He stared at the red deer dumbfounded, as if he couldn't tell whether what he saw was real or a dream.But his trance only lasted for a short time, and he quickly came to his senses, and then he screamed, scrambling towards the pickup truck on the side of the road, trying to leave quickly.

"Well……"

Seeing the panicked reaction of the little gangster, Red Deer smiled slightly, stretched out his fingers, and lightly touched his eyelids.

"Whoa, that's a bit of a hassle."

From the corner of Red Deer's mouth overflowed an insincere "annoyed" murmur.

Yes, the problem was his eyes.

In the dim twilight, the eyes of the red deer shone with a fierce red light like a wild beast - like two burning coals embedded in the deep and beautiful eye sockets, like a devil rushing in the dark Blinking at the frail and tiny human.

The young man was terrified, he wasn't one of those stupid, dumb-witted people you'd see in movies, and he ran away when he realized something was wrong with the human (or maybe not human) on the street.But the fear was so strong that all the nerves in his body seemed to be in disarray. His knees were as soft as the tofu bought in a Chinese supermarket, and his calf muscles began to cramp after being inappropriately tense.The young man fell and broke his jaw before he could get close to his car, and he didn't get very far.

The pickup truck parked on the side of the road was actually very close to where the punk fell, but to the panicked parties, the car was as far away as Pluto.

"Hey, little bastard, what the hell do you think you're doing here?!"

The little bastard heard that sentence.

As if someone used a repeater to record his vulgar and nasty swear words tens of seconds ago, the monster with bright red eyes (yes, now the young people have confirmed that guy is a monster) with the same tone and voice , repeated his words.

When did the other party appear beside him?There was no sound, no sign of movement, but he just appeared, faster and more terrifying than any ghost the young man could have imagined.

"Save...save..."

The young man was almost terrified, he turned his head slowly, his red eyes opened to the extreme under the influence of alcohol, and then, the tall figure was reflected in his vision...

Of course that person's face is still handsome, so handsome that you can hardly even describe his facial features and age.From some angles, he looks immature like a rookie college student who just graduated from university, but from some angles, he looks like a middle-aged man with rich experience.But, of course, none of that matters.

What the punk really noticed was the shadow of the red-eyed monster.A long, pitch-black shadow danced continuously behind that person.

He felt like he was about to pee.

"Don't come near me, don't, no, no, don't come near—"

A shrill scream came out of the young man's throat.

He tries to get the attention of the rest of the community, but he soon finds that his plans are in vain.

He didn't understand what was going on.There were lights in those houses, but no one came out to check after he had been screaming and struggling for so long.Even, at this not too late time, on this street...in this entire community, there are not even passers-by.

No cars were driving by, and no one was hanging around.

It was just him and the monster on the bare concrete sidewalk.

"Don't worry, we still have a lot of time, and I believe that what happens next will be something you will never forget—"

The red deer walked towards the little rascal step by step. Behind him, the outline of something was gradually becoming clear and solid.

The little gangster finally saw them clearly.

Then he was driven mad by fear.

How many familiar figures and animals he saw in those "things".He saw the rotting ghosts, one of the boys Catherine held on her lap and called him "brother" in a childish voice, a lovely boy, but now his face was swollen and his neck was swollen. There are dark pinch marks.

He also saw the dog, and he dropped the old dog on the ground and crushed its head with the sole of his shoe.

Now it was staring evilly at him with its shattered eyeballs and a row of fine yellow teeth beneath its rotting cheeks.

"It's none of my business, I don't know anything, I just want to make some money..."

The man started howling.

"Snapped--"

Red Deer snapped his fingers in front of the young man who was a bit too fragile, and he was satisfied to see that the other party's eyes changed from extreme panic to lax and hazy.

"Why don't you do me a favor? You dirty shit."

Red Deer whispered softly to the little gangster as if nothing had happened.

"You are scared, yes, that woman...Catherine...she has been forcing you to do terrible things. You even have all kinds of hallucinations because of her, if you don't kill her, those hallucinations I'm afraid it will drive you crazy in the end."

"Crazy..."

The young man kneeling in front of the red deer repeated.He drooped his shoulders and neck as if his bones had been taken out, blood, sweat, tears and snot remained on his face, his pupils were dilated so much that a thin line remained between the irises.His expression was unreal and pained.

"You should find a way to get rid of the culprit of the matter, for example, Catherine, or for example, those disgusting priests of the Adventist Sect."

The red deer stared at the young man, his tone of voice became more and more strange, and it sounded like it was coming from far away.

Then he waggled his finger in front of the little punk's eyes.

"Go."

he ordered.

Accompanied by his voice, the little gangster staggered, with his head hanging like a walking corpse, and slowly walked towards Catherine's house on the other side of the driveway.

Red Deer watched gently as he stepped into Catherine's dark porch.

[I don't understand why these people always seem a little overreacted after seeing me, screaming and making noise, their reactions almost make me think I'm a bad guy. 】

Red Deer muttered in his heart.

Silence answered him.

The level of consciousness where the personality is located is only pitch black, and no one, Vigili, Fogg, or even Mercer, has any reply to Red Deer.

Where his formerly active personalities had been, there was now nothing but void.

But Red Deer apparently didn't care.Even though the young man's appearance made his frenzy fade away a lot, the drunken impulse and joy still remained in his body.

His cheeks were slightly flushed, and his charcoal-like eyes returned to a deep, black dark green after a few blinks.

And when the red deer hugged Calvin again, there was no abnormality in his skin contact with Calvin, but Calvin still looked painful and disturbed, even in a coma.

The red deer put its face close to Calvin's neck, and he took a deep breath, sniffing the fragrance remaining on Calvin's body.

"I'm by your side, don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

he said, and then he stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked away a tear oozing from the corner of Calvin's eye.

Then he took Calvin, casually opened a car on the side of the road and sat in it.Accompanied by the sound of the engine, the car started slowly and drove into the vast night.

And at the moment when the shadow of the car disappeared completely, there was a bang in the house of the former Adventist nun Catherine, billowing thick smoke rose loudly, accompanied by intense flames and continuous explosions.

"God..."

"Call 911, there's an explosion—"

"Oh, God……"

……

Accompanied by the sound of the explosion, people who walked out of the house in twos and threes in horror and looked at Catherine's house, as well as the vehicles that finally drove into the road, some people stepped on the brakes suddenly, some people started screaming, and the baby howled in fright—as if the explosion had finally come. A certain invisible switch was turned off, and the people in this community escaped from a certain stagnant space unknowingly, and no one noticed anything strange.

Immediately afterwards, someone staggered out of the fire-ravaged Catherine's house.

People started screaming and the scene became even more chaotic.

The man's clothes and limbs were surrounded by raging fire, a strong smell of scorched protein filled the air, and under the licking of the tongue of fire, his scorched face was full of frightening ecstasy.

He raised his hands and danced on the lawn.

No one noticed, behind the panicked crowd, a door closed quietly.Which was normal, because that door looked so ordinary, so... mediocre.

It was perfectly inlaid in the house of the family facing Catherine's. It is estimated that even the owner of that family would hardly realize that it was different.

However, if you think about it carefully, some people may be confused. Why are there two identical single doors at the entrance of the house?

But now all attention was on the tragedy at Catherine's house, so quite naturally the door closed and disappeared.

From the beginning to the end, the only person who really saw the door was probably the little gangster who had been engulfed in flames.

There is a shadow in the gap of the door.

[Shh——]

At the last second before he died, he seemed to see the shadow's smile, and then, a thin line of blood snaked down along the gap in the door towards the steps.

"Hahahahahahahaha I did it, I finally did it, look at me, praise me, praise the Son, praise everything, I dedicate my heart and soul to the great El—"

After meeting the shadow's smile, the young man in the flame suddenly burst out laughing strangely, but the laughter didn't last long before it stopped abruptly.

He fell to the ground, dead, before the police and ambulance arrived.
