"Only after you have experienced our pain can you be qualified to listen..."
"What does this mean? Am I going to set myself on fire?" Sean frowned when he heard the request from the past vision.
He originally planned to think about it again to see if there were any other ways to win the other party's trust.
However, Aaliyah's face, stained with bright red blood spots and becoming increasingly pale, suddenly flashed before his eyes in his dream last night.
"damn it……"
Moonlight, who was on guard, saw Sean with his eyes closed and suddenly took out a lighter from his pocket.
He quickly opened the lighter shell, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
A pungent smell of kerosene came, and just as Moonlight was about to make a move, Sean closed his eyes and shouted: "I'm trying to find a way to meet their requirements, don't stop me!"
Sean poured the special kerosene in the lighter onto the back of his hand. Under Moonlight's surprised eyes, Sean lit the lighter, and then used the lighter to light his left hand...
"Holy crap, Sean, are you crazy?!" Moonlight was shocked in the firelight.
Sean gritted his teeth: "Worse than crazy - this is my rational decision!"
The flames quickly turned the hair on Sean's hands into gas, and in the blink of an eye, the skin was charred, and a scalp-numbing meaty aroma filled the air...
"I fuck, I fuck, I fuck, I fuck..." Sean controlled his left hand with his right hand. The veins on his neck were exposed and his face was blood red. He cursed to relieve the extreme pain.
For a moment, he wanted to cut off his left hand with a vicious blade and end it all.
Moonlight bit his fist, and his pale face was illuminated by the firelight - looking at Sean's painful expression, he seemed to feel the burning pain.
Just when Sean couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to put out the flames on his hands, the female worker walked up to Sean and held Sean's burning left hand with her naked hands.
The flame on Sean's hand went out. The female worker's hands were raw and bruised, and there were still residual fire burning, but Sean couldn't feel her touch.
With tears streaming down her face, she stared at Sean's face. Sean discovered that those eyes were actually a pair of ordinary people's eyes full of emotion.
Moonlight noticed that Sean's face became solemn. He was unconsciously using the elixir mist to treat his burned left hand, and said at the same time: "She wants to show us what happened."
The moonlight extended the ectoplasm and integrated it into Sean's ectoplasm, and he closed his eyes...
The light illuminated the darkness of the eyelids. When Sean and Yueguang opened their eyes, they found themselves standing on a snowy street.
A red-haired woman in her early twenties was having a snowball fight with a little girl of about fourteen years old.
Sean pointed at the red-haired woman: "Her name is Kate Brandt. She is the main will of this spiritual world who communicates with me."
The moonlight stepped on the snow, and the soles of the boots made a squeaking sound. He pointed at the little girl with his chin - she had long hair: "That is..."
Sean sighed: "It should be the corpse of the witch who attacked me before she was alive."
Due to her delicate body shape, the little girl was unable to stand up straight after being attacked by Kate's snowball.
She turned her back to Kate, put her hands on the ground, and showed a smirk on her little face that was red from the cold. The snow around her palms rushed to the palms of her hands like a living thing, and soon formed a snowball as big as a football.
She threw the snowball into the air, muttering something, and watched as the falling snowball flew straight towards Kate, knocking her over in the snow.
The little girl laughed, and the snow on her hair had melted, making her hair wet.
Kate was so angry that she stood up and yelled: "Annie! You are using your... outside again..." As if she realized something, Kate lowered her voice and angrily walked to Anne, grabbed her ears and whispered He scolded: "You are using your witchcraft outside again! What did mom tell you? I want you not to mess around outside!"
Annie's ears were already suffering from frostbite, and she grinned in pain from being scratched. She begged for mercy again and again: "Sister, don't, don't!"
Standing aside, Sean and Yueguang, who seemed like ghosts, looked at the scene of the two sisters playing with each other, and smiled unconsciously on their lips.
Anne apologized: "I understand, no need, no need!"
Kate then let go of her hand and looked at Anne with some annoyance. Anne also looked sideways at her sister.
Looking at her sister's face, which was red from the cold, and her patched clothes covered with snow, Annie chuckled. She smiled, making Kate laugh too.
In the distance, a woman shouted: "Katie, Annie! Do you want to catch a cold? Go back to the house!"
"Yes, Mom!"
Sean and Yueguang exchanged glances and followed the two little girls indoors.
There was a clearing here and a river not far away, apparently behind the Haleywood Textile Mill. However, the textile factory at this time was still full of life.
I walked into the factory with my mother and went up to the third floor. The floor was burned black. There were many beds at this time, and the living spaces between the female workers were separated by white cloth.
Crowded space, warm yellow lighting. There was the smell of burning coals, scalding kettles, and a sour smell.
Kate and Anne's mother has a beautiful face and a well-proportioned figure, but she has deep eye bags and dark circles and looks very tired.
She sat on the bed, took out a box of ointment from the bedside table, picked out a piece with her fingers, and spread it evenly on her knees, which were placed next to the coal stove.
My knees are slightly swollen, which seems to be seasonal arthritis.
"I'll do it, Mom." Annie's eyes sparkled, and after putting her hand close to the coal stove to heat it, she helped her mother slowly rub her knees.
Sean saw a yellow glimmer under Annie's hands.
Moonlight said: "She has great talent, but she hasn't learned how to use her talent yet."
Sean nodded: "You can only go by your feelings."
Mom's face relaxed a little - she smiled and touched Annie's head, looking very happy.
Kate was lying on the bed and opened the almost torn copy of "On Capital" when she suddenly heard the moans of an old female worker not far away.
She turned around and saw that the old female worker's toes were frozen due to overtime work. The black toes had begun to fester, and the pain made her unable to walk.
Kate saw several huge rats sniffing and sniffing under the old maid's bed.
The elder sister put down the book, patted Annie, and then pointed in the direction of the old female worker. Annie, who kept her hands on her hands, looked at the direction her elder sister was pointing, and nodded knowingly.
After dinner, Anne took the half piece of bread left specially to the bathroom, and muttered a few words when no one was around.
Sean and Moonlight had no idea what she was doing, and after a few minutes, they both heard the faint sound of mice squealing and rustling.
Soon, dozens of mice emerged from nowhere and gathered around Annie, looking at her seriously with green bean-like eyes.
Looking at those big black-furred rats, Sean couldn't help but feel a little nauseous and had goosebumps all over his body.
Moonlight, who had been friends with mice on the "Golden Age", was nothing. Miss White poked her head out of her pocket and seemed to see a group of beggars of the same kind. She was ashamed to be with them and hid in her pocket again.
Anne broke the bread into pieces and fed the mice in turn: "Ladies and gentlemen living in the cave, thank you for always abiding by our agreement and not stealing the food of the female workers.
"However, I have one more request now - Mrs. Anthony is very pitiful. Her son died of pneumonia, so you should stop chewing her toes..."
The mice ate the bread silently. After the bread in Anne's hand was divided, they dispersed silently.
"Can communicate with animals..." Sean looked at the moonlight, "She is a natural witch."
At night, the two sisters huddled together on the same bed to sleep. After Kate tucked Anne's quilt in all parts, she looked at her sister in the dim kerosene light, and Anne also looked at her quietly.
“The Father is in heaven watching over His children.
He will know all your suffering,
And give bread, milk, health and warmth forever,
To good and godly children. Amen. "
"Amen."
After reciting the prayers taught to children in the church, Kate placed her forehead on Anne's forehead, and the two sisters closed their eyes: "Tomorrow is a new day."
"Tomorrow is a new day... Good night, sister."
Getting into the bed at the other end, Kate looked sideways at her mother who was snoring evenly on the bed next to her. Then she took out the letter paper from under the mattress, and started writing with an old pen without the cap under the dim light of the kerosene lamp. Wrote a letter...
