Chapter 14 You Are Also a Disaster
This dress is indeed Chen Yan's.
Each year ago, a very small and shabby troupe came to District 3 and set up a small stage in the wild to perform two plays. Chen Yan, who was only seven years old, has been fascinated by this thing.
In this world, drama culture is not popular. The troupe spent two days to build the stage, but only five people came... Chen Ling and Chen Yan, who were temporarily attracted to play in the wild, a passing porter who was pulled to join the audience, and a beggar who came to ask for food from the troupe...
There is another one, who really likes drama culture and came because of the reputation of the teacher from District 2.
Among the five people, only Chen Yan and the teacher listened to the whole play seriously. Chen Ling fell asleep halfway through, and the porter left in a hurry when the show started. As for the beggar, he rushed to the stage to beg for food during the intermission, and was kicked off by an actor who sang the role of a martial artist, and left with a curse.
But Chen Ling saw that his brother's eyes were full of light when he looked at the stage.
After that day, Chen Yan began to learn drama by himself. He got two books from somewhere and got up early every day to learn singing and copying plays. He even learned needlework and made costumes.
The one Chen Ling was wearing was sewn by Chen Yan himself. There was a very small blue flower on the corner of the clothes.
"Here, I'll give it back to you."
After washing the robe, Chen Ling handed it to Chen Yan. He looked at his reflection in the water. The wounds and bloodstains had basically disappeared.
The two walked along the path and walked carefully to the edge of Frost Street, looking in the direction of home.
The house with a broken gate was completely blocked by a cordon. Several law enforcers in black and red uniforms walked through it.
On the two stretchers at the door, there were two bodies covered with white cloth.
"What's the situation?"
"No hope." A law enforcer looked at Baibu with regret. "They were ordered by Mengge to follow the couple. They must have found a strong man in the house and broke in. They died in the process of fighting the disaster."
"What about the couple? Are they dead too?"
"...No."
The law enforcer looked at the door. At this moment, a man and a woman were being helped out of the house by other law enforcers. Their pupils were dilated, their faces were pale, and their whole bodies were shaking constantly, as if they had lost their souls.
"They survived."
"Weren't they the first to be attacked by the disaster? Why did they survive?"
"We guess that although they were attacked first, they did not resist. The two law enforcers drew their guns and shot, angering the disaster, so they were killed..."
"You mean, the disaster was playing tricks on them?"
"That's what I mean."
"Are there any other clues?"
"Almost nothing... The ability of the disaster is very strange. It tore up most of the house and left no valuable information. We can't even tell from which direction it broke in. ”
“Frost Street is so big, but it just happened to break into this family. Is it a coincidence?”
“It’s hard to say. Frost Street is originally at the outermost edge of District 3. Behind the street is the back mountain, and then the mass grave at the intersection of the Gray Realm, and then District 2… From the path point of view, if the disaster crawled out of the Gray Realm, first went to District 2 to kill a lot, then fled into the back mountain, and then rushed to this section of Frost Street, it is also reasonable.”
“The location where the murder occurred in District 2 is also near the back mountain?”
“Yes, these locations are not far away, and they are all on the same line.” The law enforcer nodded slightly.
The two were about to say something, and a sharp roar came from not far away.
"Disaster!! Disaster!!!"
Li Xiuchun suddenly broke away from the law enforcers beside her, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. She stared at them and rolled back, "Don't you dare harm me!! Don't you dare harm me!!!"
As she retreated, she suddenly bumped into the people who were supporting Chen Tan from behind. This collision caused Chen Tan's pupils to shrink suddenly.
He immediately shrank into a ball, holding his head with both hands, muttering some meaningless characters in his mouth, and his eyes were also full of fear.
The many law enforcers on the side looked at each other, and a trace of helplessness flashed across their faces... They were not too surprised by this, but skillfully tied them up with ropes, stuffed white cloth into their mouths to prevent disturbing the people, and then walked straight to the headquarters of District 3.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Lin said that among the survivors who encountered the intersection of the gray world or the disaster, 80% of them would have mental disorders, and most of them would be incurable for life. Now it seems that this symptom also appeared in Li Xiuchun and Chen Tan.
For Chen Ling, this is lucky, because there are only four people who saw him become a disaster, and the two law enforcers have been killed by the "audience". Once Li Xiuchun and Chen Tan tell everything, he will be wanted immediately.
Fortunately, Li Xiuchun and Chen Tan are now crazy, so his identity will not be exposed, and he can still walk on the street openly as Chen Ling.
Of course, this is on the premise that the law enforcers do not find him later.
"It's still not safe... It's better to think of a way to completely block their investigation..." Chen Ling doesn't like taking risks, and he doesn't like his fate being held in the hands of others. His brain is working fast, trying to find the safest way.
Just then, a figure rushed out from beside him!
"Dad! Mom!"
Chen Yan exclaimed, running towards the two figures who were taken away, his haggard face full of anxiety.
Chen Yan didn't know what happened. He was just a 15-year-old boy. Now seeing his parents being taken out of the ruins was no different from the sky falling.
Chen Ling's eyes condensed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to hold Chen Yan, but after hesitating for a moment, he still stepped quickly and followed behind Chen Yan, calling for his parents.
Hearing Chen's shouts, the law enforcers turned back at the same time, only to see two teenagers running hurriedly, and then lowered their heads to start looking through the information.
"The couple has two children, one is eighteen years old and the other is fifteen years old."
"I didn't find the body in the house just now, and I was about to ask someone to look for it, but I didn't expect to show up..."
"Alas, poor child."
"..."
Several law enforcers whispered.
Chen Yan rushed to Li Xiuchun and was about to say something, but Li Xiuchun's pupils contracted violently. She spit out the white cloth for some reason, stared at the front and yelled:
"Disaster!! You are also a disaster!! You want to kill me too?!"
Chen Yan froze in place for a moment.
