Monica woke up and found herself lying on a single bed.
She straightened up, looking dazed.
Everything that happened tonight flashed through her head like a slideshow.
The murderous maniac who attacked her and her companions for no reason, the desperate escape in the mountains and forests, the dawn in the distance, and finally——
The calm and composed young man, and the miserable corpse.
As the images in her mind flashed back and forth, fear quietly emerged, turning into a shadow and occupying Monica's heart.
Even if you can escape -
The shadow that followed must have been rooted deep in her heart forever like a ghost, accompanying her throughout her life.
The room was very quiet.
A wall lamp hung on the wall not far from the bed, filling the room with soft yellow light.
In the silent atmosphere, Monica slowly broke away from this emotional state, and then tried to calm down.
At this moment, there may be sadness and anger, but more importantly, there should be joy after getting rid of the crisis of life and death.
"here it is……"
After trying hard to adjust her mood, Monica was able to take stock of her surroundings.
This is a room covering an area of about 20 square meters. It has all the furniture such as a wardrobe and a table, but other than that, there are no other conspicuous furnishings.
The first impression of the entire room is that it is simple and clean.
The place that caught Monica's attention more was the bookshelf next to the desk by the window.
The bookshelves are filled with books, and the owner of the room seems to have specially classified the books, deciding where to place them based on the color of the book covers.
The uniform and orderly colors look like a fully restored Rubik's Cube, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Monica stared at the bookshelf.
This should be the boy's room.
"I...um?"
Monica suddenly noticed something and raised her arms across her eyes.
The arm that was originally full of scratches has now been properly treated and processed.
This was obviously done by that young man.
Monica was stunned and speechless.
Thinking that he would be frightened and fainted by his savior, he felt a little ashamed.
"Crunch——"
The wooden door was suddenly pushed open.
Moyu walked into the room and immediately saw Monica sitting up.
"Wake up."
"Thank you for saving me..."
Monica followed the sound and looked at Moyu, her voice hoarse and her face full of gratitude.
If the young man in front of her hadn't rescued her from the quagmire of life and death, she would definitely have died in the hands of the devil like her companions.
"You're welcome. After all, thanks to you, I was able to get something important."
Moyu walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down slowly.
Get...something important?
Monica was stunned for a moment, having no idea what Moyu meant by this sentence.
Moyu didn't care about Monica's reaction, let alone take the initiative to explain, and suddenly took out an expensive-looking mobile phone from his pocket.
Of course this was not his cell phone, but what he found from Monica's pocket when she was unconscious.
"your phone."
Moyu controlled his strength and threw the phone towards Monica, who caught it reflexively.
Seeing that the other party caught the phone, Moyou continued: "After you fainted, I borrowed your phone without permission. You shouldn't mind, right?"
"How could it be, I, I definitely wouldn't mind..."
Monica clenched the phone tightly, nervously expressing her attitude towards Moyu's "borrowing" the phone.
Then, she naturally thought that this dilapidated temple built on the mountain might not be equipped with modern communication equipment, so the young man in front of her took the mobile phone most likely to call the police.
But in fact, although Moyu does not have a mobile phone, there is a landline installed in the temple.
Moyu searched Monica's mobile phone, on the one hand, to check the identity of the man outside, and on the other hand, to confirm whether Monica had called the police.
Monica didn't know this. She looked at the boy sitting casually on the chair and whispered: "You... uh, I don't know your name yet."
"Moyu."
After hearing this, Moyou casually reported his name, and then said calmly:
"About five hours have passed since you called the police. Although I don't know how long it will take for the police to arrive, it should be soon. You can just wait here for the police to arrive."
"ah?"
Monica was a little confused.
Seeing Monica's reaction, Moyou explained: "I looked through your call records and I know you have called the police."
"So that's it."
Monica was stunned.
She reacted quickly. She immediately considered that the corpse outside might bring trouble to Moyu. She took a deep breath and expressed her attitude:
"After the police come, I will give you a detailed explanation as a witness and I will not cause you any trouble in any case."
After being out of danger and calming down, this woman showed a completely different behavior from before.
Moyu glanced at Monica in surprise, shook his head and said, "That's not necessary."
"Um?"
When Monica heard this, her pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately imagined the process of Moyu disposing of the body while she was in a coma.
This is enough to show that Moyu is the type who hates trouble.
Originally, she planned to make a "large donation" to offset Moyo's obligation to cooperate with the investigation, but now it seems...
"I see."
Monica pretended to be calm and said: "When the police come, I will deal with them on the grounds that the assailant has escaped."
"..."
Moyu looked at Monica silently, understanding that the other party probably thought that he had disposed of the body.
However, the words and deeds that Monica showed now were somewhat beyond his expectation. Compared with the initial sense, he always felt that they were two different people.
"As I said before, it's not necessary. Besides, the body is still outside."
Moyu shook his head and clearly rejected Monica's proposal.
His answer made Monica a little confused.
Moyu adjusted his sitting posture slightly and said in a calm tone: "Among the existing medical cases, there is a case called murder and poisoning. The guy outside is most likely a typical murderer and poisoner."
"Huh?! I've never heard of such a medical case..."
Monica's eyes widened in surprise.
"To put it simply, he is a beast who ignores the constraints of laws, is addicted to killing, and has no regard for life."
Moyu lowered his eyes.
In fact, there is a phenomenon that he did not explain.
This kind of thing "thinking"...
While bringing extraordinary power, it will also subtly amplify the good or evil that exists in human nature, and more clearly highlight the various advantages and disadvantages of the character.
In fact, after Moyou awakened "mind", he vaguely felt that some changes had occurred in himself.
But he doesn't think this is a bad thing.
And a murderer and poisoner who awakens "mind" is simply the most troublesome and troublesome existence for the entire society.
"You only need to think about it for a moment to understand how such a wanton beast could have a normal identity, so I used your mobile phone to check the information on wanted criminals, and it took me a while to narrow down the scope."
"That means……"
Monica somewhat understood.
"That's right."
Moyu nodded and said calmly: "The guy outside is a wanted criminal, and the police will only... huh?"
The words stopped abruptly mid-sentence.
Moyu's eyes changed slightly, he picked up the pencil on the desk as quickly as possible, waved and threw it.
Swish——
The pencil cut through the air and hit the wall light switch.
There was a snap.
The room instantly fell into darkness.
"Someone, not the police, be quiet."
Later, Moyu used the briefest words to let Monica swallow back the doubts that were about to come out.
