The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

"You are surprisingly a good person!" The impatient voice of the boy who was gradually jumping around became excited: "Okay~! I just want to have a good talk with Rachel, you go to the water Look for the bubbling place, there is a mechanism there, click on the door in the file room and it will open, and then at the waterfall..."

- Pfft!

The young man, who was hiding in the darkness of late night, circled around the light blue lightsaber that appeared from nowhere before the two of them finished speaking, and slashed across his chest without any warning.

The lightsaber, carrying the sound of breaking wind, sank from the left waist into the right shoulder and emerged from it, leaving a bright red trail with thick blood foam.

The young man's words and body froze together. He just stared blankly at the blood splashing in the darkness, unable to react for a while.

It wasn't until he lost strength and fell to the ground that he realized that An Yan's eyes, which had been looking at the open space, were now looking at his face accurately.

In an instant, humiliation and anger overflowed in his brain. Even though there were blood bubbles at the corners of his mouth, he still couldn't help roaring: "You...you guy...did you see that from the beginning?"

"No, to be precise, it's Rachel. You can see it by shining the light on the tombstone and having some reflection. After all, my hometown is often quite dark. The diffuse reflection of the flashlight is enough for me to see."

"——You, did you lie to me?! You...! You didn't intend to give Rachel... to me from the beginning!?"

"Yes, I lied. Rachel is mine~ Just die honestly." An Yan nodded happily without any secret, and in his hazy vision, he picked up the crowbar again and swung it towards on his forehead.

With a heavy muffled sound, the consciousness of the young gravekeeper, Edward Mason, was completely plunged into boundless darkness at this moment.

.....................

An Yan searched for a while, then found a magnetic card and a remote control from Edward's pocket, and pressed the light randomly to turn it back on.

"....Should I say it was unexpectedly simple this time, or is it better that this child is too simple?" An Yan, who glanced at the corpse and no longer cared about it, sighed with emotion, but then moved his eyes away to praise Rui Ji. Er actually remembered that he was used to darkness and understood his own secret code.

But when he found the person, he found Rachel hiding in the distance for some reason and still looking at him with strange eyes.

"....Well, what are you doing? Why are you so far away from me?"

"You just said you would protect me, and I have always believed in you." His face was full of confusion, but Rachel also had a look of betrayal, and said angrily: "But you just..."

"That's a lie to him, right? You're so smart, you understand, right?"

"This... I understand for the time being, but..." Even if his statement was reasonable, the vigilance in Rachel's eyes still did not disappear, and she timidly said: "Rachel is mine... This What exactly does that mean?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to stimulate him one last time and make him think that his crush has been robbed; after all, there are many perverts in this building, but there is only one person who is definitely not perverted,"

"As expected...!"

"Sure enough, I'm the only one who's definitely not a pervert."

"How is that possible! I'm not!" Rachel put her hand on her chest and tried her best to refute his slander.

However, An Yan knew the truth but it was hard to tell. An Yan, who didn't intend to lose a companion now, could only cover her mouth, slightly avert her eyes and said vaguely: "....That's right, you are also normal."

"It feels like you're hiding something from me?"

"Illusion."

"..."

The strange attitude made Rachel's expression slightly stiff, but she still didn't say anything.

When she came out of the archives room, she felt that An Yan's attitude towards her had changed subtly, but her intuition made her think that it would be better not to ask, just like it might be better not to ask about the source of the lightsaber.

Chapter 7 Are you proposing? 2K

Rachel's completely disbelieving attitude made An Yan regretful and couldn't stop shaking his head:

"It's true. I'm recognized as a good person, and I'm still the student president who is expected and trusted by everyone in the school."

"real....?"

"I have no reason to lie to you, right?"

"... let's go."

After hearing this, Rachel silently turned her head and ignored him, tried not to look at the body on the ground, and walked quickly ahead.

This actually made him stop talking for a while, but in the end, like Rachel before, he chose to keep silent and followed the footsteps of the girl in front of him to the original pond.

Looking at the corner of the cold pool where the bubbles had been, Rachel hesitantly looked back at An Yan. She just wanted to ask if it would be better to go down by herself.

Although An Yan was unwilling to take the water in such a cold condition, he still tried to test that the depth would not exceed waist level and would not cover the wound. He said nothing and walked directly towards the switch position, but... ..

"Is everything okay?" Noticing that his expression was getting stiffer, Rachel couldn't help showing a worried expression on the shore.

"——How can it be okay? It's so cold~!"

The air temperature here was very low for some reason. When An Yan went into the water, it felt much colder than when he fell into the water in winter. He even didn't understand why the water didn't freeze. Sure enough, it wasn't just a water problem?

Rachel nodded helplessly: "...I think so, but why didn't you just listen to what that person said?"

"The vigilance is at its lowest when he is halfway through speaking. When he has finished speaking or is about to finish speaking, he will usually be ready to respond. After all, everyone will be used to listening to the decryption."

"I see, why do you even know this kind of thing?"

"I've learned this stuff."

"Go to study specifically?"

"I also have various situations~"

He shrugged helplessly and stepped on the bubbling place under his feet.

The moment he stepped on it, the switch made a crisp sound and sunk down, letting him know that the other party was not lying, but at the same time he couldn't help but want to complain. Why would the lunatic design the mechanism in the water?

.....................

After taking off my pants and wringing out the water, I returned to the archives room. The door lock light there had turned green. After passing through, I came to another long corridor. At the end of the corridor was a sign labeled "Third Cemetery". .

It is still surrounded by old bricks, but there is a waterfall-like landscape on both sides, and below it is a flowing pool.

Walking up the stairs leading to higher places, you will find an area full of green grass and blooming flowers, with many butterflies flying among them. There is also a coffin for a child placed in the ground in the center... If it weren't for the coffin, it would be an eyesore. Unexpectedly beautiful.

Rachel seemed to understand that the coffin might be prepared for her, and silently approached An Yan's side.

An Yan played with the remote control, pressing random buttons for a while and the lights kept changing. Finally, with the sound of gears, the water of the waterfall on the left gradually stopped, revealing a moss-covered brick wall and a passage leading deeper.

At the end of the passage is the old elevator that we are almost used to seeing. It opens automatically when you insert the magnetic card.

"...B3, you will probably encounter a pervert with a gun. This is more difficult than before." Looking at the slowly changing numbers on the elevator, I remembered the murder of the B3 sacrifice in the resume I had seen earlier. For this reason, his mood became a little heavy.

Also when hearing this sentence, Rachel lowered her head and rubbed her index finger and thumb. After hesitating for a while, she raised her head again, looked at An Yan's face and said solemnly: "Can you swear?"

"what?"

"Will protect me, won't hurt me...will take me out of here."

"Uh...are you proposing?" The strange line sounded like a speech at a wedding, which made An Yan stunned.

He pondered for a while and then said helplessly: "You may have misunderstood. What I just said may be a bit strange, but it is different from what you imagined. Although I am like this, I really will not treat children casually." Take action."

"...meaning you can do it casually?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a more rigorous person and don't like to talk things over. After all, in probability, nothing is [-]%."

"....Is that really all there is to it?"

"Of course, if you really agree to go home, you will be treated as an adult."

"Are you abnormal to begin with?" Rachel frowned slightly in distress and glared at him: "Anyway...please listen to me carefully."

Although this seemed very interesting and made people want to tease her some more, An Yan still made a zipper movement in front of her mouth, and then Rachel continued: "I'm not proposing, I just hope, Can you promise me this?"

"Suddenly saying this?" Is this child uneasy? ——This sudden topic made An Yan a little confused, but he still put his hand on her head and said with a sigh:

"Of course. I am different from the perverts in this building. I cannot attack children. I will definitely protect you and take you away."

"Then...this is for you." Rachel hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe him. In the blind corner of the elevator surveillance, she took out a black object—a pistol—from her bag.

"Is this... the real thing??" An Yan took it in surprise, and the heavy feel obviously didn't look like a fake.

Opening the magazine and checking it again, he found that not only was it fully loaded with bullets, but the bullets were also loaded, and the safety was turned off, ready to fire at any time.

"....Why do you have a pistol?"

"do not know....."

"Why didn't you take it out from the beginning? You can use it when you meet the murderer, the doctor, and the gravedigger, right?"

"....I don't know how to use it...."

This was not a lie, she really didn't know where the gun came from or how to use it.

Until she wakes up, the only thing she knows is probably her own name.

Originally, An Yan still had many questions to ask, such as why he didn't give it to him from the beginning, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

The reason is just that you can't completely trust him at the beginning, right?Although he considers himself honest and reliable, as a child, she only had such a self-defense weapon to resist and protect her own safety in this building full of perverted criminals. Now she really believes in his reliability, right? ....perhaps.

Unsure, he stopped thinking too much, rubbed Rachel's head, and walked out of the elevator quickly.

Chapter 8 Please, kill me for 3K, completed in 2w

The B3 floor is different from every previous floor. The lighting is sufficient to the point of being dazzling. It’s not weird or spooky, but it’s not too tidy or too messy.

When they got out of the elevator, it was just an iron fence. There was a surveillance camera pointed at them above. There was an iron box representing the lock, and the light also showed a red locked state.

An Yan tried to kick the rusty iron door hard, and after a loud "bang!"...

——Woo~!Woo~!Woo~!Woo~!

The warning light above suddenly flashed red, followed by a rapid siren, and a rotating machine gun lowered from the ceiling, pointing directly in the direction of the two of them.

This made him instinctively pull Rachel into his arms, and then fell backwards. The next second...

——Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff! !

As expected, the barrage poured out in the direction of the door. The deafening gunfire seemed to frighten Rachel, and she subconsciously buried her face in his arms.

It's a pity that now he doesn't have time to pay attention to Xiangyu Manhuai. Instead, he stares at the dense craters at his feet with a sense of trepidation.

If it had been a little later, the two of them would have been beaten into a sieve together. Rachel pursed her lips uneasily and raised her head to look at his face.

"It's okay, I'm here." An Yan looked directly into those clear blue eyes, smiled and stroked the girl's hair, and it was at this time...

"Ara? It's you who's here~ Have Zach, Danny, and Eddie all been killed? They're all outside my surveillance range. You're such an unexpectedly outstanding sinner~ How could you have solved them so quickly? ~”

A cheerful female voice suddenly came from the speaker above, sounding as if she knew the three people in front of her.

But An Yan didn't care. He just pulled Ruijier up slowly, looked in the direction of the camera, and said with a smile: "There is no way, they are too weak."

"Really~? But do you know?"

"what?"

"The girl you are holding in your arms is...a witch~"

"...Really?" An Yan, who knew the real witch, seemed a little uninterested in this statement, but Rachel pointed at herself in surprise: "Am I a witch?"

"How could it be? How could you be a witch?" He really didn't want to give up easily after revealing his reliable teammates, so he denied it without thinking. He even pinched Rachel's cheek and said confidently: "It smells so good. If this sweet and cute girl is a witch, I would like to marry a lot of witches."

"Huh? One day..."

"——Ah hahahahaha! What~" Before Rachel could finish her surprised words, a beam of searchlight light accompanied by sharp laughter shone on the two of them, shaking them so hard that they could not open their eyes. The woman who interrupted them continued:

"Are you also deceived by the witch? She can even attack your own parents without hesitation. Aren't you worried about being attacked?"

"...What are you talking about??" A plan to divorce? ——An Yan, who had known the truth for a long time, was so suspicious, and tried to at least stabilize his assistant before leaving the building, but...

When Rachel heard the woman's words, her blue eyes suddenly widened, causing her long eyelashes to sway, and her slightly enlarged mouth could not be closed for a long time.

Then the emotion in those eyes disappeared at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye... If I had to describe it, it would probably mean that the emotion was disappearing and freezing.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but with the triggering of keywords and the return of memories, she was buried by the gradually awakening memories in her heart, and the window to the girl's soul was also closed.

But the girl slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, no emotion could be seen. The rich emotions that fit the image of the girl before were no longer visible, and even her expressions disappeared.

Rachel was as expressionless as a doll, just staring into his eyes with eyes that looked like the end of the world, she opened her lips lightly and made an emotionless voice:

"Mr. An Yan..."

"what?"

"I have... woken up from a happy dream." The girl looked at him with almost pleading eyes, but her sweet voice lost its warmth: "I can't live, so... I have a ask."

"what?"

"Please, please..." Rachel paused slightly, then seriously expressed her expectations: "-Kill me."

"...Is the result still the same?"
