The First Wish
762 Words
Under the violent emotional fluctuations, the remnants of a blood moon swept through the depths of Bruce's pupils.
In the next moment, the illusion disintegrated and everything in front of him returned to dead silence.
He stood in place in a daze, originally clutching the detonator has disappeared, the body of the cold and piercing touch dissipated without a trace, even the two “hands and feet” of the female corpse also became upright in the body bag, as if it had never moved.
“...... I just, is it another attack?”
He looked at the palm of his hand and murmured in a low voice, looking blank.
After confirming that his surroundings were safe and sound, Bruce quickly walked over to the camera and pulled up the record-
The image showed himself just stiffening in place after examining the body, like an attack of hysteria.
His heart sank and a bitter smile crossed his lips, “Really sick.”
Exhaustion, self-doubt, and stress, layered on top of each other.
He looked out the window at the miserable white moonlight, suddenly sighed and muttered, “No ...... I can't fall down yet.”
Forcing himself together, he removed the camera's memory card and physically destroyed it to ensure that no abnormal records would be left behind, then replaced it with a spare card and continued to fulfill his duties.
However -
When he returned to the corpses once again, he was surprised to find that a small reddish ball was suspended above each of the two corpses.
“Huh?” He froze.
He tried to rub his eyes and double-checked that it hadn't disappeared.
Lowering his head, he pinched himself, “It hurts, it's not an illusion?”
But the camera lens was pressing the image of those two red spheres.
“Hell ......”
A trace of shock swept across his eyes, and he vaguely perceived that perhaps, this was - the awakening of the ability.
As his emotions stirred, he forcibly calmed his inner leap, and silently photographed, registered, and sealed, all in order.
After all the procedures were completed, he couldn't wait to return to the two corpses, staring at the two “levitating gifts”.
The small ball over the right side of the body was lighter in color, while the one on the left was as bright red as blood, with a slight red mist constantly evaporating from its surface.
He took a deep breath and slowly extended his hand to the small ball on the right.
The moment he touched it, it instantly shattered into countless points of light that rushed into his eyes.
An unfamiliar “enlightenment” then poured into his mind:
Fulfill the corpse's last wish, and you will receive a gift from the corpse.
At the same time, an obsession as fierce as a flame was implanted in his heart:
Kill that son of a b***h Logan!
“I'm going to ......”
Bruce huffed hard, the emotion almost exploding out of his chest.
This wasn't a hallucination, this was-
“Goldfinger Daddy! You're finally here!!!”
Tears of joy were almost not enough to describe the emotions at this moment.
“Do you know how I survived these twenty-three years ......”
The repressed past, the humiliating childhood, the collapsed family, the betrayal and the pain were like a flood turning over in his mind.
Now, everything was finally starting to change!
He pushed down the murderous intent in his head, forcing himself to regain his composure, and turned to reach out and touch the even brighter red ball on his left.
Another burst of blazing red light rushed into his mind-
This time, there wasn't any “system prompt”, only a more insistent thought...
Protect Ellie, make sure Ellie survives!
Bruce frowned: “Ellie?”
Another unfamiliar name.
But with the experience of the first time, he immediately judged that Ellie was most likely the most obsessive existence of this deceased person while he was alive.
“Gotta get Dempsey to get the case file information ......”
After pushing the two bodies into the freezer, he quickly changed his clothes and headed for his coworker's small single room with a flood of questions and churning excitement.
