"Do you need any help, Father?"
Xi Wang's voice floated faintly from behind him, gentle and cool, like a quietly flowing stream.
"Shut up, you don't need it."
Somehow, the priest growled in annoyance, not at all as relaxed as usual, and the gentle expression on his face turned ferocious without him noticing... and he didn't notice it yet.
Damn it... Why is it so cold? What's wrong with this rainy day? And this humid air is so annoying.
The priest's mind became more and more agitated. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the surroundings were getting colder and colder, and more and more humid... This made his movements more chaotic and his heart more anxious.
Click——
It was the sound of the door lock opening.
"call……"
For some reason, the priest breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had solved something extremely troublesome. He walked inside and pulled the rope, trying to drag Xi Wang in as well.
Then he found... he seemed unable to drag the child anymore. The well-behaved child, the child who didn't seem to care even after he tied his hands, and even followed him naturally... was actually resisting at this moment.
Is it because you realize that something bad is going to happen to you? But unfortunately, now that you are here, nothing can be decided by you!
"come over!"
He pulled the rope hard, trying to drag Xi Wang in by force. At the same time, he turned around and wanted to teach this "bad boy" a lesson... The disobedient "bad boy" must be punished and disciplined. Isn't this a matter of course?
But what followed was a cold and wet little figure that quickly threw itself into his arms, and... a stinging pain from his neck.
"Uh...poof..."
His body was knocked down, his throat was pierced, and his mouth was covered, so the priest could only make meaningless humming sounds.
The body twisted and the limbs were constantly twisting and struggling due to pain.
He grabbed the small figure that had become cold and wet due to the rain with both hands and tried to push him away forcefully, but soon, accompanied by a sharp pain, his hands dropped weakly.
He kept kicking the ground with his legs, trying to move his body and get away from the terrifying figure, but soon his legs could no longer move.
And Xi Wang did all this just by using a small table knife hidden in his sleeve.
Accurate and fast, without any deviation, it doesn't look like a child at all.
What's going on? This kid... Is this kid a killer? Is it the higher-ups who want to deal with me? Impossible! I didn't do anything!
The priest opened his eyes wide, full of confusion, as if asking Xi Wang - why did he do this?
"...Actually, I'm also confused as to why I hate you so much."
Xi Wang tilted his head and muttered to himself in a puzzled tone.
"It was the same when I was at the police station before... In my impression, the police station should be a reassuring place, but... I don't know why, when you took me there, I just felt... disgusting and disgusted."
"Father, you are such a kind person. You give me food, clothes, and shelter... but I just hate you. I don't know why."
"But...from some of the things that were discovered later..."
Xi Wang slowly let go of his hand, looked at the corpse whose pupils were dilated, had stopped breathing, and whose body was no longer moving, then he slowly stood up and talked to himself.
"You really are a rotten person... Well, as expected, I should hate you."
I walked out of the door, sat down against the door in the drizzling rain, and let the cold rain fall on my body.
He lowered his head, looked at the knife whose bloodstains were being washed away by the rain, and looked at the blood on his body that was gradually spreading due to the water. Xi Wang was speechless for a moment.
"I always feel like I'm... pretty skilled?"
He knows how to kill with one blow, how to quickly cut the tendons in people's hands and feet... and has no aversion to such evil acts as killing.
Even before the priest came to find him and restrained him, he had a premonition and secretly ran to the kitchen to take out a table knife. Then, taking advantage of the rainy day and the drop in temperature, he changed into long-sleeved clothes and hid the knife in his sleeves... He was even able to hide it skillfully so that the priest would not find it.
As if all this was an easy thing for him.
"I... am indeed a born "bad boy"."
Xi Wang murmured softly, but surprisingly... he didn't resist, even though he knew it was bad and wrong.
But...whatever, I just hate him anyway.
As for dealing with corpses... I don't really want to do it, so let it be.
Xiwang stretched out his hand casually, letting the rain gather in his hands and then flow through his fingers.
"...I'm a little hungry."
Xiwang whispered to himself and looked at the night sky again. The rain clouds were still piling up and showed no signs of dispersing... Maybe it will rain until morning, Xiwang judged subconsciously, and then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
squeak-
There was a tooth-grinding sound of a door opening. He pressed the switch, and the warm light in the kitchen came on. He stepped into the warm and dry room, glanced around, and then walked to the refrigerator, took out some leftovers and bread, and began to eat slowly.
Well, no need to heat it up, it’s good just chilled.
"...Aren't you going to come out to eat with us? You're still here so late, you must be here to steal some food."
The quiet environment lasted for a short while before Xi Wang spoke softly, as if talking to himself.
"........."
No one responded, but one could faintly hear the breathing becoming somewhat rapid and tense.
Xi Wang said nothing, but just quietly heated up the food and let the aroma spread.
"Gulu——"
The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard. After a while, a boy who was also small and even thin came out from his hiding place and came to Xiwang.
"Oh... it's you, Light from [Bad Boys], right?"
Xi Wang glanced at him and quickly recognized him with his excellent memory, and then pushed the hot food in front of him.
"You are good at using your identity as a [bad boy]. After all, you are a [bad boy], so it's okay for you to steal food... But you can eat whatever you want this time, and you can blame me for the rest."
After saying that, Xi Wang started to eat bread with milk, his eyes fixed on the dark rainy night outside, as if he was in a daze.
"Well... that... you... you..."
Wright looked at the bloodstains on Xiwang's clothes and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"If you want to know where the priest is, I can only tell you that he is dead."
"You...you did it?"
"has a problem?"
"why?"
"I hate him, and...he's just a rotten person."
Xiwang took another bite of bread, glanced at him, and then said.
"I don't know what he wants to do to me, but it's definitely not a good thing. Besides... you must have been bullied by him before. After all, you don't look like bad kids to me."
"……Um."
Wright was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"That's fine. His death may be a good thing for you."
Xi Wang shifted his gaze back to the rainy night outside, found the jar of rock sugar, took out a piece and put it in his mouth.
The sweet taste permeates the mouth, which is pleasant.
"Go home quickly after you finish eating. Don't think about anything. Have a good sleep. Don't say anything when you wake up tomorrow. You don't know anything."
"……Uh-huh."
Light nodded timidly, then began to eat slowly and carefully.
"…………"x2
Silence permeated, leaving only the sound of rain outside.
With the sound of the fork and spoon touching the porcelain plate, Wright finished the hot food, but he did not leave. Instead, he hesitated for a while and spoke again.
"Then... well... how about... you... leave."
"Ok?"
"You... you are much better than us, so... even if you leave here, you should be able to live well... I can take the blame for killing the priest for you."
He paused for a moment, feeling the fragrance still lingering in his mouth and the warm feeling in his stomach, and he seemed to become more determined.
"In fact, we all want to kill him, but we...can't do it..."
"...Forget it, it looks like you can't do anything."
"I can!"
As if to prove himself, he ran out with the fork, but soon came back with a pale face. Apart from some blood on the fork, there was no trace of anything on his body... and even the blood on the fork was quickly washed away by the rain.
"I'm...I'm sorry...please...just go away..."
He had a sad face and spoke to Xi Wang while apologizing and begging.
“[They] will come… Go away… Please… You deserve better than us… You can live better than us… Please, go away…”
"unnecessary."
Xi Wang sat on the table, swinging his legs, slowly stuffed another rock candy into himself, and spoke casually.
"And you."
The strange three-colored eyes with dark color, a little gold and a circle of scarlet glanced at Wright, and the tone became a little cold.
"Go back to sleep."
Wright was a little frightened for a moment, his hands and feet were cold. He subconsciously obeyed Xiwang's words and left in a daze.
Here, it fell into silence again.
tick-
The only sound was the raindrops falling outside.
Chapter 4117 [Him] ()
[The next morning, the rain gradually slowed down and turned into a bright sunny day. The priest's body was found as expected. The nuns hurriedly called the police in a panic and screamed... On the way, they also found you resting in the kitchen. ]
[The police arrived soon, and you were arrested as expected. After all, your clothes were covered in blood. Even the children said that the last thing they saw was you leaving with the priest... and you didn't want to explain anything, so you just dealt with the police casually - you didn't like them, and you didn't know why, but you just didn't like them, just like you hated the priest, there was no reason for it.]
[Maybe you had a grudge in your previous life, so you came here to seek revenge on them in this life? — You thought half-jokingly, but you quickly discarded this inexplicable idea, because if it was really revenge, then the priest's body would not be so "neat", and you should not have waited until this time to take action.]
[But those are not important anymore, you don’t care anyway]
[But... there are still people who care, such as the chief of the police station]
[He keenly sensed that something was wrong with the case, or rather, something was wrong with the priest himself... But he had no evidence, his colleagues dissuaded him, and the priest had a good reputation in the outside world. For all these reasons, he did not thoroughly investigate the priest.]
[But now... when he wanted to investigate the cause of death of the priest and the church, he encountered considerable resistance. This made him realize that there must be deeper reasons behind this case. Therefore, he began to delay your case and planned to ask you for more details.]
[This interrupted the originally planned, smooth and fast "trial process", which made some people a little annoyed]
[More importantly, there is another more important person involved in this case - Father Enrique of the church]
[Father Enrique arrived here almost the day after the incident. He seemed very hurried. He even canceled his originally scheduled schedule just to get here... Even when others asked, his reply was very strange - "I have found the person I should look for. He instructed me to come here, meet the destined person, and show him the way."]
[Those words that sounded a bit weird were recognized and supported by the church itself. For a while, everyone could do nothing about him and could only let him get involved in the case... After all, a priest with a good reputation died in this case, so it was only right for the church to get involved.]
[But surprisingly, Father Enrique is not concerned about the dead priest, but you who are considered a suspect]
[He asked to see you almost the next moment after arriving, and acted quite warm and familiar when he saw you, and kept muttering "I'm sorry I'm late, child walking on the road, God sent me to guide you... Unfortunately, I'm still a little late, causing your hands to be stained with sinful blood. I hope you can accept my help so that I can make up for my mistakes"... and other words, which made you feel a little confused for a while.]
[But you can feel that he really wants to help you, and you also feel that you can trust him, so you don’t refuse his help]
[After getting your consent, Father Enrique also began to help you seriously... He found the police chief who wanted to investigate the church and discussed investigating the matter behind this case together. The two of them hit it off and began to use their respective connections to investigate the more detailed events behind this case.]
[It didn’t take long for them to find out that this church might be helping some people engage in the “child trafficking” industry, and Father Enrique quickly investigated and found out that the main person in charge of this church was the priest, and even the nuns were involved, and even further produced evidence to prove this point.]
[As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. No one had expected that a priest with such a good reputation would actually do such dirty things in private. Even the church itself became a fig leaf for the sin. Moreover, according to investigations, the priest is likely to have a habit of "abusing children". The scars left on the bodies of many "bad kids" can prove this, which makes people even more angry.]
[More importantly, the police here were completely unaware of this, which made everyone wonder if there was some deeper problem here.]
[The chief of the police station was also very cooperative. He apologized as soon as the news came out and said that he would thoroughly investigate the case and vowed to find the real culprit behind it. Coupled with the help of Father Enrique and public opinion, some people began to panic and began to deal with this issue urgently... The current public opinion is very unfavorable to them, and they must first calm this matter down.]
