184. Corpse
Kelly and Hevin opened the door, and the bedroom was dark.
The luxurious velvet quilt had a high bulge. When I heard the sound of the handle turning, the bulge shook slightly.
Hevin pressed the light button, and the bulb instantly illuminated the entire room.
"Veronica?" Kelly said.
The quilt was shrunk tighter.
"Veronica, don't worry, we are not bad people." Hewen comforted her.
The quilt moved first, then stopped, and a timid voice came from it:
"Professor Hevin?"
Hewen replied in a calm voice:
"Well, it's me."
The quilt first opened a small corner, and after a while, it was completely opened, revealing Veronica's figure, who was curled up on the bed with her knees in her arms.
"King Arthur!" cried Elwood, closing his eyes.
Eulalia, who wanted to rush forward to greet her, couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at Veronica with inexplicable and complicated eyes.
Hidden on the complicated and gorgeous bed is a rotting corpse, without any life at all. It makes everyone feel disgusting and ugly.
It is said that Hela, the goddess of death, is half the body of the ugliest dead and half the most beautiful of the living.
This is the Gawain family's parody of this rumor. During the day, Veronica is the most charming noble princess in all of Aaron, but at night, she is a despicable and blasphemous corpse.
Not only were they exposed, but all the most disgusting and repulsive features of the corpse appeared on Her Royal Highness the Princess. Even Detective Elwood, who had already seen all the corpses, did not dare to take another look.
Eulalia had never seen anything so dirty and evil. She could never connect this despicable walking corpse with the holy Her Majesty Veronica. She would rather believe that this was just a bad joke.
Hevin walked up to Veronica and helped her stand up:
"Do you know what you look like now?"
Veronica blinked curiously:
"What?"
Kelly stepped forward and grabbed Veronica's hand:
"We have something to tell you, and I hope you can be mentally prepared."
Veronica looked at Kelly's white palms clenching the black gloves, then turned her head to Hevin, her eyes revealing help and inquiry.
Hevin could see Veronica's trust in him. This was not a strange thing, but it was strange that he had not noticed it immediately before.
Veronica's previous abnormal behavior was actually her instinct to seek help from him, but due to the interference of various forces, her thoughts could never be conveyed correctly.
Hevin nodded to indicate that Veronica could also trust Kelly. After seeing Hewen's actions, Veronica in turn held Kelly's hand.
Kelly said:
"Next we are going to tell you something, but before that you have to know that we will not fear or hate you. None of this is your fault. You are just a victim, and we are here to help you.
.”
Veronica didn't quite understand what Kelly said, but she nodded anyway.
Veronica glanced at the two people standing at the other end of the room:
"they are……"
Hevin said to Eulalia and Elwood:
"Can you guys go out for a moment?"
Elwood nodded eagerly, turned around and left the room immediately.
Eulalia glanced at Veronica again, hesitated for a moment, and left in silence.
Elwood waited until Eulalia came out, then closed the door behind her.
The police detective took out a cigarette and held it silently.
Eulalia closed her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking.
After a long silence.
Elwood asked stiffly:
"Would you like a cigarette?"
Eulalia opened her eyes again, surprised that Elwood could talk to her.
The noble lady replied at a loss:
"No, I don't smoke."
Elwood spread his hands:
"I guessed it, then..."
The cigarette in the corner of the detective's mouth was almost burned out, so he lit another one.
"So what do you think? Anyway, I can't accept and understand it. Are you one of Veronica's admirers? I have heard of your name. You like her very much. What do you think after seeing this scene?
…”
Eulalia reminded:
"Too many questions, Detective, please calm down."
Elwood looked at Eulalia with dark pupils:
"I am indeed a little confused, but I still want to ask you how you feel after seeing all this. The person you are crazy about has turned into an extremely ugly walking corpse."
Eulalia smiled with difficulty:
"This is not entirely a bad thing, and you are not right. This feeling is more like the god you have always worshiped fell to the earth, and the great life that everyone praised suddenly became a mortal like you and me, or even worse.
.”
Elwood leaned against the wall and asked:
"Not a bad thing?"
Eulalia reluctantly replied:
"Maybe I can get close to Veronica like this, but I can't figure it out. Is my previous admiration for her real? Or is it based on the manipulation of some mysterious power?"
Eulalia shook her head.
"I don't know who I am."
Snapped.
Kelly walked out from behind the door:
"Hewen is performing a more detailed operation. Let's wait for him outside."
Eulalia and Elwood realized that they had never taken a good look at this girl.
Also a young man in college, Kelly not only did not flinch when she saw Veronica, but she even stepped forward to comfort her very thoughtfully.
Even Eulalia, who loved Veronica so much, could only hold back from vomiting when she saw the honor of hell that could be called a blasphemy to life.
Eulalia asked with great concern:
"Miss Kelly, when you see Her Highness Veronica, aren't you afraid and shrinking? Why can you approach her so naturally?"
Elwood was also curious about this question.
Kelly looked at Eulalia with a strange look:
"I was not fearless at the beginning, but after I learned the reason why Veronica became like this, I only felt sympathy and sadness."
Eulalia said:
"No, I also know that Your Highness is not a bad person, but, how can you overcome the primitive fear instinct buried deep in your blood and approach her with a calm face?"
Of course Kelly knew why. It was because she had seen countless crazy and strange scenes behind the scenes, and Veronica's body couldn't even make her have too many emotions.
Even Abbas' corpse is more disgusting than Veronica.
Kelly lied kindly:
"It's just because I have a strong psychological endurance, and after all, who can be disgusted with such a poor girl?"
Neither Elwood nor Eulalia spoke anymore.
