章節 108: Chapter 108
After Beverly got in the car, Randy smiled and asked.
"It's a bit hard to get used to. No one has ever looked at me that way before."
Beverly was still pleased, looking at her police uniform, with much more anticipation for the days ahead.
"You'll get used to it soon. Admiration and reverence will become the most common looks you'll receive."
Randy smiled.
Beverly still needed a rise in status. At the very least, the police station should clear out a suitable position for her.
After sending her home, Randy didn't get out of the car with her.
Noticing her confused look, Randy casually explained, "I have other matters to attend to. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime."
"Alright then, so... us?"
Beverly stood beside the car, feeling a bit hesitant, expecting perhaps a goodbye kiss.
But Randy wasn't very interested in that. Kissing? That would imply equality between the two of them.
Instead, he called Beverly back into the car, gave her a kiss on the forehead, and took the opportunity to grope her a bit before sending her out.
Even so, Beverly's legs were weak when she got out of the car, and she walked awkwardly.
After watching her enter her house, Randy restarted the car.
Another flower was about to bloom soon.
Chris was reporting the latest news again. She and Sue were planning to take some people to the pig farm in Southtown tonight, kill a pig for its blood, and then tomorrow, during the school sports day, splash the blood on Carrie while she was in the bathroom, humiliating her in front of the whole school.
Go to Southtown's pig farm to kill a pig for blood? Randy thought of that weirdo, Crazy Dave, who wanted to marry a pig.
Chris and her friends were playing with fire; they might end up dead before they complete their task.
Randy continued scrolling through his phone for more updates. It turned out Crazy Dave would be temporarily leaving town tonight, something Chris and her group had found out during their scouting trip to the pig farm last night.
Chris then shared the next part of their plan: splashing Carrie with blood was just the beginning.
Sue would immediately rush over to comfort Carrie and lead her to the wash basin, helping her strip off her clothes and wash away the blood.
Then, Chris would pretend there was a fire in the bathroom, bringing in a large group of boys. The goal was to have everyone see Carrie naked and to capture her humiliation on camera. In such a situation, Carrie wouldn't even be able to escape, especially with Sue holding her down.
Chris didn't even mind pushing a few boys to assault Carrie. When Carrie's religious zealot mother found out, she'd likely kill her daughter out of shame!
Randy remained silent as usual.
What he wanted was an obedient puppet, not a maniac.
It seemed that tonight, Carrie needed some more... education.
The past few days of brainwashing and training, along with Margaret's assistance, should be enough to make Carrie understand who truly had her best interests at heart.
However, when Randy got home that night, he was stunned.
The fence in the yard had been violently torn down, the word "DEVIL" had been spray-painted on the walls, and even the windows had been smashed.
Randy walked into the house with no expression, opening the door. Fortunately, there were no signs of intrusion inside.
His first thought was that the werewolf from the other day had come looking for trouble again.
But then Randy sensed a familiar presence—Pennywise came down the stairs with a dry laugh.
"Randy, I wanted to stop her, but that woman was strange. My usual methods didn't work on her."
"That woman?"
Randy was stunned, following Pennywise's gaze toward the house next door.
"Yeah, and Carrie was there too, so I didn't dare to make a move."
It turned out to be Margaret?
Randy wasn't too surprised. In the eyes of fanatics like her, doctrine was more important than the law.
He hadn't even gone looking for her, and yet she had come knocking?
Randy chuckled coldly, turning and heading out the door toward the house next door.
As soon as he got close to Carrie's yard, there was movement from inside. Margaret had clearly sensed him.
The front door was thrown open, and Margaret stood there holding a Bible and a crucifix.
"You devil! You're trying to drag my daughter into Hell! Leave this town at once."
If the crucifix had been upside down, Randy might have taken it more seriously. But a properly positioned crucifix? That was just a decoration.
Randy ignored her, heading straight inside. With every step he took, Margaret's chanting grew louder, but it was completely ineffective. Randy simply pushed past her and walked into the house.
Carrie sat nervously in the living room, standing up abruptly when she saw Randy, her head bowed.
"Randy."
Randy didn't respond to Carrie, instead turning back to Margaret.
"Mrs. Margaret, is this how you treat your good neighbors?"
"Damn you, devil!"
"Heh."
Randy didn't bother trying to communicate with her, instead turning his stern gaze toward Carrie. "Kneel!"
Carrie jumped in fright and immediately obeyed, kneeling down while nervously explaining, "Randy, I didn't say anything! I only found out what my mother had done after I got home."
"Are you still trying to argue?"
Carrie shrank back in fear, trembling as she lowered her head.
Randy then turned to Margaret, showing a victorious expression. "Mrs. Margaret, it seems your daughter has better manners than you."
"Carrie!"
Margaret's rage was visible. "Carrie, what are you doing? You're under God's protection! How could you kneel before a devil?"
"That's because you didn't educate her well enough."
Randy mocked her, then moved closer to Carrie, gently stroking her head. "Good girl. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you earlier. I was just so angry at what your mother did."
"I'm sorry, Randy. I apologize for my mother."
Carrie quickly explained, feeling that Randy's apology was so gentle.
"Carrie! How could you?"
Margaret rushed forward, ready to discipline her daughter, but Randy immediately blocked her path.
"What are you doing? Do you intend to harm Carrie?"
"You…"
Margaret, pointing at Randy, exploded in anger. "You leave now, or I'll call the police!"
"Now you talk about the law? Why don't you tell your God to send me away? Or does He simply not exist?"
Randy continued to mock her, though in reality, there was indeed divine protection at play.
When Randy had first entered the house, he intended to control Margaret and toss her aside, but as he was about to act, his danger sense kicked in, warning him that something bad would happen if he proceeded.
That made Randy realize that Margaret might really be favored by God.
No wonder Pennywise hadn't dared to intervene.
She might not have any offensive abilities, but no one could use supernatural powers against her.
"You truly are the devil!"
Margaret's gaze sharpened at this, though her conviction remained unshaken. "Carrie, do you want to go to Hell after you die?"
"She's already in Hell."
Randy smiled and leaned down to whisper gently into Carrie's ear, "Tell your mother what you should call me."
Carrie hesitated, avoiding eye contact, too scared to speak.
Randy continued to coax her softly, "Come on, unless you want to lose me."
Margaret, still in a frenzy, yelled, "Carrie, what are you doing?"
Caught between their opposing attitudes, Carrie reluctantly muttered, "Master."
Margaret nearly fainted, while Randy grinned triumphantly.
Angels are often ugly to scare away devils, but devils are always beautiful to tempt humans.
"You've made the right choice."
Randy lifted Carrie in his arms and headed upstairs.
