218. Reflection in the Lake

Kelly has been a little troubled recently.

One thing comes after another.

First, there was an accusation that came to her inexplicably. A person who had been dead for many years asked her to guard a box that sealed the evil spirit. But before she could figure it out, she found that the evil spirit in the box had already escaped the seal.

Then came the disappearance of Zaheer. Detective Elwood specially said hello to her when he came to the school. Kelly could also see Rohten and Richard when they passed by the scene of the case. When they looked at

When looking at her, it was difficult to conceal the fear in her eyes. Kelly knew that they must have misunderstood that she was a murderer.

She was just trying to save trouble by scaring the two of them, leaving them with the first impression of an evil witch. Fortunately, Elwood didn't notice the way the two looked at her, otherwise the detective would have become suspicious.

Zaheer's disappearance is a strange thing, but Kelly doesn't have the energy to pay attention to it for the time being.

Because after her mother heard about this incident, she strongly asked Kelly to go home for a month to avoid the limelight.

Kelly knew that her mother also had good intentions. After two consecutive vicious cases occurred in the school, she wanted to keep her children away from right and wrong. Although Kelly could see that she actually had other small thoughts - she was afraid that Professor Hewen and herself would be too close to each other.

Get close, but in general it’s for your own good.

But how could Kelly just walk away like this now? Although she could no longer fulfill the accusation requested by Lamont, she would never be able to watch the evil monster causing trouble in Allen University.

But it was impossible for Kelly to run to her mother and tell her that there was an evil monster here and that she must find a way to stop it from harming and taking countless lives.

Let's not talk about whether Latona will believe her daughter's crazy words. Even if she does believe it, she will only be more determined to take Kelly away from this place, and it is more likely that she thinks Kelly's "disease"

It relapsed again, and she was forcibly tied back for treatment.

Kelly actually wanted her mother to leave Allen City, but no matter how she tried to persuade her, it was of no use. Kelly finally only persuaded her to move her residence farther away from Allen University.

At this moment, Kelly was walking alone by the lake on the outskirts of Allen City. When she felt upset, she would leave the crowd alone and stay behind the scenes for a long time, walking around in some very familiar places.

She thought a lot about the girl Lei she met in the library, what was her past like? What was the mood of the former principal Lamont when he went to seal the stick figure? Grant witnessed Abbott's betrayal.

, what were you thinking when your lover died for him and refused the stickman's deal?

And is there any relationship between Edward White, the apostle of God, and Skyd White? Why did Halla maintain this wonderful relationship with Hevin? Hewen...

At this moment, she found that she seemed unable to ask questions related to Hewen.

She seems to be very familiar with Professor Hewen, but in fact, her understanding of Hewen is superficial. She knows that Hewen is a good man and very powerful, and can break the man-made "curse" of the Gawain family.

But she seemed to know nothing about Hevin's past or Hevin's identity. Grant said that he and Professor Hewen were colleagues, but was that really the truth? Or was Professor Hewen deliberately letting Grant think so.

As a professional witcher, Grant didn't even know the secret, but Professor Hewen seemed to regard it as common sense. And when they were all confused about the meaning of the name, Hewen seemed to be able to completely understand Lamont's last words.

The meaning of "last words".

Kelly always felt that Hewen was very unreal. Although it was close at hand, it seemed to be in an extremely far away place.

But she suddenly thought, is everything else in this world real?

Everything she smells, hears, and sees can be deceived. Her behind-the-scenes vision is an example.

Is Leigh real? Is Skyde real? Is Lamont real? Is Grant real?

Even Iona and her mother, are they all real?

Kelly looked at the boiling lake water, animated trees, and screaming rocks around her. Although these crazy things do not exist in this world, they are real?

She turned off the behind-the-scenes vision, walked to the lake, and looked at her reflection on the lake.

Is what I saw just now true, or is what I see now real?

She always felt a vague sense of separation surrounding herself, and the sense of falsehood gradually spread in her brain.

It seemed like something was separating her from the world.

She stared at her reflection in the water, but couldn't connect it to herself.

The girl in front of her was indeed beautiful and full of energy, but she always felt that this familiar face had become unfamiliar.

It's like, it's like...

She shouldn't look like this.

"Young man, are you thinking about life?" A mature male voice sounded, pulling her out of her confusion.

An unshaven middle-aged man walked up to Kelly and said to himself:

"I often come to this place to relax. This is a very beautiful place. Do you know what is the most beautiful thing here?"

Kelly didn't speak, nor did she look at the man. She just looked at the reflection of the two people on the lake.

The man continued:

"The most beautiful thing is that there is no one here. It's a pity that you ruined my mood."

Kelly still said nothing.

Seeing this, the man continued:

"But I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you, little girl. Remember not to come here again to affect my mood."

The man spoke as if the lake was his private property.

Kelly was not angry because of the other party's rude offense, because she was already drowning in an emotion.

The man said to himself:

"It's a pity that I am the only one who can enjoy this beautiful scenery. It's unfortunate that little Lilith didn't come out with me. By the way, have you seen Lilith?"

The man waited for Kelly's answer for nearly two hours.

Kelly didn't even realize when he left. Her body had already completely stiffened, and her consciousness had frozen together.

What she saw in her reflection in the water was a twisting shadow.

Just like what I saw at the feet of the giant monster in that falling experience.
