Jason's answer was so different from what she expected that she forgot what to say next.
After about a second or two, he stammered awkwardly and said:
"It's so hot in your car..."
call!
Jason opened the car window next to him, and the night autumn wind blew in with a chill.
Denise's hair was blown into the air.
At this moment, the girl's heart is as messy as her hair.
The person in front of me...
Are you sick?
The girl commented like this, and prepared not to say a word to Jason for the rest of the journey.
However, what was unexpected was that when Jason closed the window, he actually handed over the newspaper on the side.
What's the meaning?
The girl took the newspaper without knowing why.
"The Lost Cat"?
She had read it and it was well written, but it was rumored that the author was a man who often collected works in the name of collecting style, but was actually a bad person.
"The House of Divination invites you to visit"?
She also knew this. She had also been to a divination house. There were a bunch of arrogant guys. Not to mention the expensive charges, there were not many accurate ones. At least, she wanted to find someone she liked, but none of those guys could predict the future.
What's even more annoying is that after a few guys finished the divination, they actually told her to be careful about bad luck.
Obviously, this is a money scam!
She, Denise, is not fooled!
"Yesterday's circus performance was a disaster!"
Circus show?
Have you performed yet?
Why don't I remember?
Shouldn't I have gone to the show and then missed the stagecoach ride?
Denise had doubts in her eyes.
Then, I continued reading.
'Yesterday's circus was good enough and grand. If the lion hadn't suddenly burst out and hurt someone at the end, we would have applauded! But now we can only mourn the heroic small town girl Denise...'
lion?
Attack?
I?
Denise froze in her chair as if struck by lightning.
At the same time, some memories that she didn't want to remember slowly appeared in her mind.
After saving three months of pocket money, she planned to go to Jiedanlun to watch a circus, and then buy back the trinkets she had longed for as gifts for the autumn harvest.
But because of the divination at the Divination House, her gift had to wait until winter.
Fortunately, the circus was very interesting, and the little girl next to her even gave her a piece of maltose.
But……
The nightmare is coming!
At the end of the circus, the lion that was supposed to jump through the fire ring suddenly went crazy, opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards her.
She was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.
The little girl next to her was even more frightened.
At that time, she didn't know what happened, so she pushed the little girl away.
Then, then...
"Am I dead?"
Denise raised her head, looked at Jason blankly, and asked in a hoarse voice.
Jason didn't answer, let alone any expression.
I just glanced at the newspaper.
In the illustration above, there is a corpse covered with white cloth.
"turn out to be……"
"I'm dead."
Denise murmured to herself, her originally energetic face became gloomy, her breath quickly turned cold, and her complete body became incomplete and dripping with blood.
"Why?"
"Why am I dying?"
"Why!"
Denise questioned Jason, who was close at hand. Her gloomy face quickly distorted, becoming ferocious and terrifying, and her eyes showed yearning for life and...disgust.
Especially when she looked at Jason, she felt a sense of bloody killing.
Then……
Snapped!
Jason raised his hand and slapped Denise on the face.
Denise was stunned.
Was I beaten?
I was beaten even though I was dead?
I am the dead and he is the living. He should be afraid of me. How dare he hit me?
Just when Denise was still doubting the life of the deceased,
The hand Jason had just withdrawn with his backhand was withdrawn again.
Snapped!
This time it was louder.
Moreover, the hand has not been put down yet.
Looking at Jason's palm that was about to fall again, Denise shouted:
"etc!"
Covering her cheeks with her hands, Denise looked at the tall, strong, indifferent man in front of her in horror. At this moment, she seemed to understand... why Jason said she was happy too early.
"Are you an exorcist?"
Denise asked anxiously.
The biographies she had read had already begun to appear in her mind.
Ordinary people will be scared out of their wits when they see the dead, and only exorcists in biographies will ignore the fear of the dead.
And every exorcist is cold and ruthless.
When it comes to the dead, I will not let anyone go without mercy.
But to Denise's relief, Jason shook his head.
"No."
"I am……"
"Night watchman."
Jason replied.
Suddenly, Denise, who was relieved, became uneasy again.
Night watchman?
It seems that the dead are more concerned about the existence than the exorcist.
However, after looking at the cold Jason, Denise did not dare to ask.
Jason, on the other hand, remained silent once again.
The atmosphere solidified, making Denise increasingly restless.
For the first time, she discovered that the dead seemed more useless than she imagined.
She couldn't walk through walls, couldn't become invisible, couldn't move objects out of thin air, she didn't even have any special abilities, and she was... beaten.
It was simply worse than when she was alive.
At least, she doesn't have to be beaten while she's alive!
The most I can do is stay in bed in the morning, stay up at night, and get yelled at by my parents.
What is the use of this kind of life of the dead?
Denise asked herself.
Of course there is no answer.
She is already dead.
Although she insists on using her, she doesn't want to use it.
It's probably because I'm not used to it.
As time goes by, it gets used to it.
Denise, who couldn't hold back the silence, cautiously opened her mouth and asked.
"You discovered that I was the deceased from the beginning?"
"Then you're worried about me causing an unexpected commotion."
"So you are prepared to take precautions before letting me get in the car?"
As Denise asked, she saw Jason looking at it with a strange look.
That look seemed like...
mercy?
Why do you pity me?
Even if you can hit me, I am still a dead person!
I also have the dignity of the dead!
Just when Denise wanted to make a statement, she saw Jason suddenly pull out a wide-blade short-handled machete, and then took out a gun with a larger muzzle than any gun she had ever seen before.
All are big.
But what scares Denise the most is...
Jason's eyes.
It's like the look in the eyes of a carnivore when it's preying on something.
"sorry!"
"I was wrong!"
"Please don't eat me!"
Denise sat upright and spoke very fast.
But Jason ignored Denise at all, just opened the door and jumped out.
next moment,
The roar of the beast suddenly sounded!
In the roar, Denise was stunned, and more memories began to emerge——
She remembered!
Why was she standing there waiting for this carriage!
