Chapter 83: Late Justice (2K's Pretend Two in One)
Ward 1301 is one of the few VIP independent wards in the North and South Memorial Hospital. It has the size of a three-person ward but only has a bed. It has spacious space, sunlight, LCD TV and air conditioning. Patients who can afford to live in this ward need to make an appointment several months in advance. But who can learn about their condition soon? So wanting to stay in this ward naturally means being either rich or noble and having an influence.
Carlisle Cape happens to have both, so she got the best ward on the first day of staying in the North and South Memorial Hospital. The public announcement was to avoid causing riots in multiple wards. No one expressed surprise. Everything was so reasonable. She herself had long been used to this preferential treatment. Just as it should be, she should have been so smooth.
Everything always has a but, and after that, it always means something bad is going to happen.
At 2:30 in the morning, Carlisle Cape, who was sleeping in ward 1301, was dreaming.
In her dream, she stood on the stage of the Academy Awards and gave a speech. The spotlight and spotlight, and the eyes of the crowd were on her. She wore a long dress and told the people she wanted to thank. She thanked the crew members who made her award-winning movies. She thanked her parents. She thanked the people who helped her, supported her, and dedicated everything to her achievements.
The audience burst into applause, and the award presenter handed the little golden man to her. She raised the little golden man with one hand and showed the happiest and brightest smile in her life.
At this time, Carlisle Cape suddenly noticed that there was a place under the stage that was particularly dazzling. The light was different from the blazing whiteness of the spotlight, but it was more inclined to the warm yellow of the night street lights and the lazy gold of the sunset sunset. She bathed inch by inch, but she did not feel warm because of this. On the contrary, this light made her feel extremely harsh, as if she fell into an ice cave in an instant.
Carlisle Cape couldn't help but try her best to see the source of the golden light. The more she tried to gather her sight, the more unstable the dream became. When she really saw the source of the golden light, she had already opened her eyes in reality.
In the ward 1301, a beautiful girl sat beside the bed and peeled an apple. The sharp dagger was sticking on the fruit peel like a kiss, and the apple peel fell down one by one.
It seemed to notice that Carlisle Cape woke up, and the beautiful girl raised her head and looked at her with her bright golden eyes and said with a faint smile: "Are you awake? It seems you have a good dream."
Carlisle Cape subconsciously wanted to scream, but when she saw the door of the dim ward in the afterglow, she suddenly lost all her strength.
There, two strong bodyguards fell in the pool of blood and their necks looked as ugly as straws twisted by children. The air was filled with disgusting smell of blood, and fear occupied the entire room.
"They were in a way that they were staying outside, so I let them sleep for a while longer." The girl peeled the apple slowly: "Don't think about pressing the page button at the nurse's station. I know what you want to do now. I know the consequences if you do that, but I can guarantee that you will not like that kind of ending."
The Carlisle Cape was already shocked. She lay stiffly on the hospital bed and looked at the harmless beautiful girl. She couldn't believe that all this was done by the other party: "What do you want to do?"
If a man appeared in the room, then what would happen next was self-evident, but sitting next to the bed was a girl, a girl who was a little more beautiful than Carlisle Capel herself, which made her unable to guess the follow-up.
"Convince me." The girl lowered her head and peeled the apple.
"What did you say?" Carlisle Cape suppressed his screaming desire and his voice trembled very much.
"Convince me." The girl repeated, looking up at Carlisle Cape calmly: "Give me a reason not to kill you."
"I" Carlisle Cape was stared at by her golden eyes and seemed to be strangled by a big hand. The suffocation and panic exploded instantly. Her ears began to tinnitus, her heart rate accelerated to a dangerous level, and her mind was in a daze.
"It seems you don't know why I'm here." The girl turned the dagger in her hand, and the light from the tip of the knife refracted the pupils, shining golden light spots in the dark ward, and occasionally shook over Carlisle Capel's frightened face: "Give you a reminder, Wendy Hathaway, remember?"
Wendy Hathaway?
Carlisle Cape stared at the girl's face with all her might. She thought the name was the other party. After a few seconds of crazy memories, she regretted not to associate any acquaintances, and she had never seen this girl at all.
"It seems you forgot." The girl was a little disappointed. She cut off half of the apple and handed it to Carlisle Capel's mouth. The other party opened his mouth blankly, allowing the half of the apple to be forced into it and exposed half outside: "Have you heard the story of the magpie's nest?"
"In nature, there is a bird called the Red-footed Falcon. This kind of bird often occupies the magpies' nest, squeezes out the nest one by one and breaks it, and then produces its own eggs and hatches the baby bird." The girl said: "After hearing this story, do you remember something again?"
Carlisle Cape was still in panic. The girl looked at her quietly for a while and sighed: "I'll give you a reminder, ten years ago, the Golden Elephant Stage Performance Competition."
Carlisle Cape was stunned.
The girl looked at her expression and smiled faintly: "It seems you remember something."
Carlisle Cape spit out the apple in his mouth and shouted in horror: "You are her family? It's illegal for you to do this! Do you still have accomplices and you have murdered people!"
"Ten years ago, the Golden Elephant Stage Performance Competition, won the championship, Carlisle Cape, won the ticket to Hollywood, and was favored by major directors since then, and became a household name." The girl cut an apple and ate it herself and said: "The first place should not be yours. The person behind you contacted the competition group and awarded the original first place Wendy Hathaway to the competition, thus usurping her honor." The girl said plainly.
"You killed people for that matter? That was just a competition, were you crazy?" Carlisle Cape finally remembered the old thing that had been forgotten in the corner of his memory.
"Then I tell you that the performance competition poured in a girl's expectations for her whole life, but her expectations were usurped, so the girl who lost her life chose to hang herself at home. Will you feel a little guilty?" the girl asked lightly.
"It's not my business."
"It certainly doesn't matter to you." The girl shrugged.
"It's not your business! Who are you from her? What are you going to do to me?" Carlisle Cape said uneasy with a rapid breath.
"Me? I'm just a person looking for guys like you all over the world." The girl whispered: "I've killed many people like you. Each of them is a shameless winner like you. ACT, SAT score, competition awards, honors, work, and even the whole life. You are not special to me, just one of those miscellaneous things. I have been following you for a long time, and you happen to be in my sight again."
The girl licked her fingers stained with apple juice: "Every time I think of the existence of people like you in the world, it makes me sick. You are all executioners who are no less than me. Tear off other people's skin and enjoy the honors that others should receive, and usurp the whole life of another person. How can people like you care about how people who have been torn off by you continue to survive in this world?"
"It's not my business that she committed suicide! It's not my opinion that I advised her to commit suicide!"
"You'd better not." The girl said coldly: "Do you think that girl hasn't tried to speak for herself? What did she get when she visited around? The three-way threatening phone number and a dead cat at the door? Don't think I don't know what you did. Do you think your appearance can fool others and I can fool me? I can smell the disgusting smell on you a few meters away."
"Do you know how desperate she is about this world she would have the idea of hang herself? What were you doing at that time? Pleasing for a director in Hollywood? Boasting about the honors she has won before? Enjoying the pursuit and your wonderful life?"
"What's your business?! Who are you? Are you a policeman?" Carlisle Cape was almost driven crazy by the nightmare golden pupils. The corpse at the door made her nervous and couldn't help but yell: "You've killed someone, you crazy, murderer."
"Police?" The light in the girl's eyes faded: "How could I be that kind of thing? As for those dead people? They are blocking my way."
"When I peel off a face like you, I know what I should do. People like you have a lot of power and financial resources, so someone will inevitably come to block my way. There will always be someone who speaks for those who have been torn off by you. I am the one who speaks for them. Whoever blocks my way will kill anyone." The girl's eyes were stained with violent colors.
Peel the face.
Carlisle Cape finally knew what the other party was going to do to her. She wanted to yell at the top of her lungs to attract attention, but the girl reached out and touched her throat. At this moment, she could no longer say anything.
Sitting on the chair, the girl looked at Carlisle Cape, who was digging his throat and trying to make a sound, whispered: "I have killed eight people like you. They are no different. They are beautiful, powerful, and have different opinions. You all like to live with masks, so you can peel off other people's skin like a prey in my place, a very beautiful girl, but who knows that she has walked up along the way with other people's corpses? ACT results, piano competition rankings, and anything that can be deprived was taken away from those people, just to be worthy of her talent and honor, so I stripped her face away. That is my favorite face. After putting it on, you can see the true appearance of the world. No one cares about your true appearance under the appearance, so this is the reason why you "face strippers" do whatever they want."
"Did you feel it?" the girl said with a faint smile: "Those who want to speak for themselves are like this now. Even if they yell heart-wrenchingly, they can't make any sound, because you made them shut up and I am the one who makes you shut up. You can say I am a lunatic, because I am indeed, people like you can only be crazy to scare you, and only monsters can make you cry in fear."
On the hospital bed, Carlisle Cape realized something terrible happened to her. She wanted to beg for mercy but found that the girl had stood up and held the dagger that had peeled the apple in her hand.
"But do you think the monster will sympathize with you?" The girl put the dagger close to Carlisle Cape's face and golden eyes were burning like fire: "The monster will only say: convince me, and then after watching your ugly performance, peel off your face. If there is justice, then the mother of a girl in Kansas was beaten to death for declaring her daughter's ACT score. Why didn't justice appear at that time? If there is justice, then justice should be dozing off now, because for people like you, I am justice!"
The girl stared at Carlisle Cape's face, which was crazy in fear, without any expression. I still remember the first time she was full of guilt and regret when she peeled off the damn woman's face, but she felt the pleasure for the first time under her trembling hands.
The second, third and even now, the joy and bloodthirsty emotions in her heart were growing wildly when she raised the knife. She found that she fell in love with this feeling, and she even felt that she was born because of it. If there is no justice in the world, it would be better to let her be that justice. Anyway, when she gave up her original identity, she had already embarked on a road where she could not turn back.
If there is really justice in the world, then stop her!
But there is no justice in this world? You have to do whatever you do, whether it is killing or revenge.
If there was justice, the mother in Kansas would not have died.
If there is justice, why can't the innocent people who have been deprived of their lives speak out?
If there is justice and you think what you are doing is wrong, then you will show me now?
Just as the dagger was about to pierce the skin, someone whispered outside the quiet ward:
"Two prisoners stood in front of the iron window and looked out, one looking at the soil and the other looking up at the stars."
The girl's hand stopped.
She looked at the woman in front of her with expressionless expression, and the dagger in her hand penetrated deeply into the pillow and penetrated the bed board.
"What a late justice," the girl said softly.
She put away her angry heart and walked out of the door calmly.
When she saw the familiar boy outside for the first time, she lowered her eyes slightly and asked in her heart whether she wanted to hear a tortuous story?
The other party's molten golden pupil gave her the answer in silence.
Forget it, she thought to herself.
So the battle was about to break out.
