Mrs. Hughes is dead, no, she is gone.

However, Karen did not feel the slightest relief after escaping from the dangerous situation.

A man knelt before him, and a woman, if she could be called a woman;

In short, these two people brought him great pressure.

Karen knew that there must be a misunderstanding here.

But he knew better that it was impossible for him to explain this misunderstanding.

Look at how they solved Mrs. Hughes... Karen believed that if they wanted to, it would be easier to solve themselves.

At this time, Karen has to thank his career in his previous life and the various bizarre things he encountered after waking up in this life. In short, his psychological quality is good as long as it does not involve the real moment of life and death.

.

What is the moment of life and death? Similar to when Mrs. Hughes actually raised the knife, he was really frightened beyond measure. It was better than not crying without seeing the coffin. Before the coffin lid was closed, he could barely keep smiling.

But,

It's embarrassing,

These two people just knelt in front of him, but no one spoke;

And Karen,

I don’t know what to say,

Because his chance to speak is very slim, and once he says something wrong, he will shut up forever.

Obey your will, great you;

Karen began to think about what the man in the red suit had said to him earlier.

Did they mistake me?

No, it shouldn't be.

Neither the former "Karen" nor the current self are qualified to make these two people kneel down.

They definitely didn't admit themselves wrongly,

They should be,

I misunderstood my own strength.

Complex issues should be simplified as much as possible;

They regard themselves as great beings. Although they don't know why, they can only continue to pretend to be "great".

But,

How to do this specifically?

Karen really wants to go home now and miss Dis's study;

Oh, damn, Dis isn't home today!

Alfred and Ms. Molly continued to kneel.

a long time,

They finally heard the voice from the great being in front of them:

"tired……"

Alfred buried his head lower, and so did Ms. Molly.

Karen stood up from the bed, moving very slowly because her body was still a little soft.

Alfred kneeled and turned sideways to get out of the way of the great being;

Karen walked step by step. In fact, he now had an impulse in his heart, such as rushing out of the room, running down the stairs, then rushing out of the entrance hall, running outside the courtyard door, and getting into the red "Caiman" car, and finally stepped on the accelerator to the end.

"Escape".

but,

Looking at the neatly broken glass under the window, and recalling the way the man in the red suit came in earlier, Karen felt that even if he was given two more legs, he probably wouldn't be able to run.

But now that you've stepped out of bed, you can't turn around and walk back and sit back on the bed, right?

finally,

Karen came to Mrs. Hughes's pile of clothes,

bend over,

Picking up these clothes, well, they are also relics.

In fact, Karen has a very good impression of Mrs. Hughes. He believes that Mrs. Hughes is still the same Mrs. Hughes most of the time, except when she wants to create art.

However, he didn't feel too sad. After picking up the clothes, Karen looked at the moon in the sky through the window.

"The moonlight is nice."

Alfred and Ms. Molly still knelt down in a dignified manner.

Karen tried her best to steady her breathing and continued to walk slowly to the window. The friction between the soles of her shoes and the glass made a slight squeaking sound. Karen raised her head and pretended to be immersed in the moonlight tonight.

Behind them, there was some noise. Alfred and Ms. Molly completely changed their direction, from kneeling towards the bed to kneeling towards the window.

no,

You guys are talking,

How do you know what I'm going to do if you just kneel there and say nothing?

The hand holding Mrs. Hughes's clothes came across a small box, which was a cigarette case.

At this juncture,

Karen suddenly had an idea in her mind,

An idea that made him want to laugh and wish he could slap himself:

If the next moment I act like a gangster and I'm going to be swallowed,

Why not have another cigarette before swallowing?

No, what on earth was I thinking!!!

Although he was roaring in his heart, "muscle memory" still made Karen take out the cigarette case. This was a "honey" cigarette, a slim cigarette for women.

The opening of the cigarette case is turned upside down in the palm of your hand,

knock,

Knock again,

Then, a cigarette fell out half of the body.

Take out the cigarette, put the filter tip downward, tap it on the back of your hand, and tap it again;

pick up,

bite on the lip;

Then pick up the lighter with purple roses printed on it,

Face down forty-five degrees,

"Snapped"

ignite;

He flicked the lighter with his wrist,

Take a sip,

Then move away with the cigarette in your hand, pointing the cigarette butt downward, and blow out the smoke ring.

This is a standard set of actions for old smokers, or each old smoker has his own set of habitual actions. The postures are slightly different, but the charm is almost the same.

When doing this action, it seems as if a BGM is ringing around you, no matter who you are or where you are, whether you are on a construction site or in a smoking area at a train station, or like yourself now, surrounded by two "ghosts"

"Watching" with eager eyes;

As long as you perform this set of actions, at least at this moment, you will be detached and watching the world with a profound gaze.

The faint smell of smoke filled the air.

Alfred continued to kneel, and so did Ms. Molly.

"Ah……"

Alfred's body trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his head, but he restrained his impulse.

Karen pursed her bitter lips,

Then he poured out another cigarette,

With great restraint, he suppressed his trembling hands and said to Alfred:
To be continued...
