Chapter 949 Walking a long road alone

After the heavy rain, the air became especially fresh. Veronica stood at the door of the monastery and couldn't help but stretch.

The elderly's sleep was already light, and today was a public visit day, which made them even more excited. A long table was placed in the activity room, and on it were placed the cookies made yesterday, the monastery's homemade jam, and various candies.

This place is not so much a nursing home as it is a paradise for children - who didn't dream of traveling to the Candy Kingdom when they were young?

Children will be very excited after consuming too much sugar. Every year after getting candy on Halloween, Laura always eats it immediately. Then she is so excited that she cannot sleep, and she pulls Monica and Veronica into a pillow fight.

Sometimes mom Alicia is forced to join in, although her original goal is to stop the girls from making too much noise and disturbing the neighbors next door.

Veronica is naturally gloomier than her two sisters. This may be because her father comes from England, which is always shrouded in leaden clouds, while her two sisters grew up in the blue sky and sea of ​​the Mediterranean.

of.

Whether it is sunrise or sunset, morning glow or sunset, the sky is like God's palette. Human beings do not have such rich imagination to create so many incredible color combinations, so she believes that there is a Creator in this world.

It created the world and understood all the rules. When strange celestial phenomena appeared, people could only speculate. People in ancient times thought about what omen it brought to destiny, while modern people are thinking about what principles caused this.

an optical phenomenon.

Both science and astrology are products of human observation of the world and their thoughts.

Her grandmother Rosa believed that there were wizards and magic in the world. When they were children, her grandmother would show them a picture book. Do those magical animals really exist? Or are they just deceiving children again?

As of last week, she half believed what her grandmother said. Later, her sister met two "wizards". They were not as scary as the legend said, but they were more taciturn compared to the talkative Italians. When they were together,

Veronica has an inexplicable sense of intimacy - she likes this kind of tranquility, but adults say she lacks the vitality that a girl should have, so how can she have so much to say? Wouldn't it be nice to be alone quietly like this?

Father Constantine also advised her to try falling in love so as not to become that serious Mother Superior in the future.

She was not interested in those smooth-tongued Italian boys who struck up conversations everywhere. Although tourists would be complimented by them at first and thought it was new, the three sisters grew up in such an environment.

They knew exactly what kind of person Alessandro was. The way he courted the girls only made them feel funny. No matter how beautiful the seagull sang, it could not change its thief nature. Uncle Fabio finally had his own family.

, he cannot replace the role of the girls’ father.

Veronica once thought that Monica and Laura's father was eaten by a bat, and that's why there was no trace of life or death.

If he had not disappeared, Alicia would not have met Veronica's father, and she would not have been born.

Or maybe Monica's father disappeared out of thin air due to time turmoil, and he became an "unborn person". However, in this way, both Monica and Raura should disappear, and Veronica hopes that she will disappear even more.

"Have you ever felt like this? The hands don't look like your own, the world doesn't look real, like a dream?"

She suddenly heard someone talking next to her. At first she thought it was a hallucination, but later she discovered that there was an old man in a wheelchair in the blind corner under the stairs, and he turned out to be her grandfather. He was also looking at the Adriatic Sea at the moment.

of sunrise.

"Are you talking to me?" Veronica asked.

"Who else is here besides you?" Diego said angrily.

Veronica didn't want to pay attention to him.

"I almost traveled around the world, just like many people dream of, do you want to hear those stories?" Diego continued to ask.

"You spent all your money and then you had to live in a nursing home run by the church?" Veronica said with a straight face.

"You little girl, has no one taught you what politeness is?" Diego yelled like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Where is your family?" Veronica asked "Are you waiting for them to come?"

Diego was silent.

After a long time, he said, "Gambling is risking something valuable in the hope of getting something more valuable, but I think you only understand after you lose it that you have gained the most valuable thing."

"You lost your family?"

"They were in an accident," Diego said.

Veronica turned around angrily.

"I hope it's me who dies," Diego said just before Veronica left, "so that I don't have to experience the feeling of my family being torn apart in an instant."

"You just said gambling..."

"I know it's a bad habit, but in other nursing homes people don't play cards to pass the time."

"This is the church's nursing home."

"That's why this place is so boring. A few outsiders come here as if it's a festival."

Veronica doesn't plan to pay attention to this man anymore, he is really hopeless.

She didn't want to go to the activity room or the chapel. Father Constantine had the nuns helping to prepare for the ceremony. Wandering around with nothing to do made her feel that time passed very slowly.

If the rest of my life is like this, it would be really terrible.

She thought uneasily, looking at this monastery as quiet as a tomb.

The pillow fight caused all the feathers stuffed in the pillow to fly out, making it look like they had fallen from an angel's wings.

In fact, the secular family is not as bad as she thought, but Monica and Laura will get married sooner or later. They have never lacked boys to pursue them, and then she will be alone again.

Is this kind of problem only her concern, or is it something that everyone has to go through?

If you were in school, no one would talk about death-related topics easily. If someone did, someone would definitely talk to that person.

But in the nursing home, death seems to be a common thing. Yesterday they came by boat from the funeral home.

Is "heaven" a place that should receive the dead or the living?

If it really exists.

Veronica held the cross around her neck tightly, then quickly crossed herself and walked quickly to her room.

She liked the laughter of children. Although she felt very tired at the time, the joyful tiredness after laughing was different from the tiredness of carrying a heavy burden.

She is not Saint Christopher and cannot bear the whole world on her back. Such complicated issues are really not what a 16-year-old girl should think about.

================

"Very well, this world is not real. Maybe for you, this world is full of unknowns. You don't know what will happen tomorrow, or even what will happen next minute, but I can answer your questions, as long as you follow what I say

Do it."

Mills was chewing nicotine gum for quitting smoking while listening to Angela Warren's tape with Anthony Marcus. This was processed by the technical team. The part that sounded blurry at the time was restored and was just noise.

They are still trying to figure out some solutions, which cannot be solved in a day or two.

Los Angeles also has a Mediterranean climate, although it is an ocean away from the Mediterranean Sea.

Generally speaking, Los Angeles is dry and has little rain all year round. It only rains a little more in winter. It is raining outside the window right now.

"I saw a movie where a murderer split into eight personalities." Mills was lying on the sofa, tossing a Rubik's Cube and playing with it. "Psychiatrists and judges also interrogated him at this time."

"Split personality and schizophrenia are different, Mills. Multiple personality disorder is actually a very rare mental disorder. They mostly appear in thrillers. On the contrary, schizophrenia is a more common severe mental illness.

, about one in every 100 people suffers from this disease. Disintegrative schizophrenia usually occurs in late adolescence and early adulthood, and is mainly manifested by thinking, behavioral, and emotional disorders. Thought disorders are characterized by disorganized speech, bizarre content, and incomprehensible content.

."

"So Angela is schizophrenic?"

"In the 14th century, a wave of public opinion linked supernatural phenomena with psychological disorders. People believed in the existence and power of demons and witches. In this chaotic era, people believed that psychological disorders were possessed by demons and witches, and that anyone would have bad luck.

Luck can be associated with devils and witches. Even after the founding of the United States, this understanding was still there. Later, people performed exorcisms to drive away the possessed devils. You can understand that people in that period suffered from collective hysteria...

"

"Witch hunt?" Mills asked.

"That's right." Anthony unbuttoned his coat and the first button of his shirt, as if to let himself breathe a little. "Mass hysteria is just a part of emotional infection. People who are emotionally infected will make people around them feel the same."

To that kind of emotion, in the Bell Witch Case, John Bell and his family claimed to hear abnormal sounds, but only John Bell himself heard the old woman singing. When this emotion escalates to panic, the entire community will be affected.

At the end of the 15th century, a Swiss doctor believed that mental disorders were not possessed by demons, but the influence of the moon and other stars on human body fluids. He named this phenomenon 'lunatic'. To this day, many people still believe that their psychology is affected by the moon.

Influence."

"How else can it be affected? Turn into a werewolf?" Mills spit out the nicotine gum in his mouth into the ashtray.

"In short, whether Angela Warren is really schizophrenic needs to be identified. This cannot be determined by just relying on a tape. In view of the current special circumstances, I suggest you use another method."

"any solution?"

"Eroticism, if Angela Warren's soul has not gone to hell or is controlled by the devil." Anthony sneered and said, "Split personality will cause many physical and psychological changes. After a woman enters a split male personality, she will

Producing exactly the same voice as a male, a male will also produce a female voice, just like having several souls living in one body."

"Are you kidding me?" Mills asked weirdly.

"What do you think?" Anthony smiled meaningfully, and the light left a gloomy shadow on his face, which looked extremely scary and like a demon.

That movie is called Fatal ID. Why does it look more and more like infinite horror the more you write about it?
