Chapter 1185: The Woman Must Have Gone Mad
He Xiyan looked at the man in front of her and bit her lip. She blinked her eyes that seemed exceptionally bright and clear under the lamplight.
She stood there on the spot and didn’t give him a response. She remained silent for two to three minutes before she finally avoided answering the question and said, “You should rest, Ye Hao. I’ll be going to rest as well.”
She had been thinking about how she should respond to his statement, but she ultimately decided not to respond since she couldn’t give him an answer.
She didn’t know that the man had interpreted her silence as an answer.
He pursed his thin lips and smiled to himself.
He felt thankful that she didn’t turn him down. This was the first time that she hadn’t given him an outright rejection in six years.
This signified that she was already considering changing the nature of their relationship.
She had always taken a while to warm up to others so he guessed that he definitely stood a chance with her if he gave her more time to think about it.
——
Meanwhile, at a police station in Sha City.
The police had formed a specialized team to look into the shooting incident at the airport.
This incident had attracted a lot of attention, not only domestically, but also internationally. Many international media outlets quickly reported on this shooting incident.
Han Xue was brought to the interrogation room as a suspect. She wasn’t technically a suspect but she was the perpetrator of a crime who was waiting to be sentenced.
She wore a long black dress. She hadn’t changed into her prison jumpsuit and she was still wearing whatever she had been wearing that day.
Now that she was 40 years of age, she was no longer as beautiful as she had been when she was younger. She had spent the past five years in jail and had only been released two months ago, so she had aged hard over the past five years. There were deep lines etched around the corners of her eyes and her skin was no longer as smooth and supple as it was before. Her skin was now rough and pimply.

She looked like a middle-aged woman.
She laughed loudly and she would grab at her messy hair frequently which made her look even more like a madwoman.
She was currently undergoing her third round of interrogation.
The police officer, who was interrogating her, seemed very young and he looked as though he had just joined the police force.
“Han Xue, it wouldn’t work in your favor even if you continue to act crazy or look like a fool. Tell me truthfully, why did you open fire at the airport?” the police officer asked sternly as he looked at her.
Han Xue continued to giggle uncontrollably. Then, she stuck out her tongue at the police officer and retorted childishly, “I’m not going to tell you why. I’m just not going to tell you.”
The police officer was left speechless.
He took a deep breath and his brows creased into a deep frown. His colleagues had told him that this woman had gone mad but he didn’t believe them earlier. Now that he was interrogating her, it seemed like his colleagues were telling the truth after all.
“Han Xue, do you know what sort of crime you’ve committed this time?” the police officer asked as he rapped his knuckles against the table.
Han Xue giggled again.
She couldn’t be bothered to respond to this police officer. She suddenly did something strange. She looked down, opened her mouth, and bit at her handcuffs like a dog chewing on a bone.
The police officer frowned deeply and her actions left him feeling completely speechless.
He gathered his documents, returned to his office, and gave his team leader a report of Han Xue’s situation.
“Sir, she must truly be insane. I think we should let a specialist check her condition,” he said.
His team leader was drinking a cup of coffee as he listened to his subordinate’s report. He turned to look at his subordinate and took the documents his subordinate handed to him.
“I’ve already contacted the police officers stationed at Ye City and they’ve sent Han Xue’s documents. She is indeed mentally unstable and her condition had been established three years ago when she was still in prison. I’m surprised that her condition has become so serious.”

Beatrice Santello
An adult imagining of Beatrice Santello's life prior to the events of Night in the Woods. There are no explicit depictions of sex here, though there are obviously adult themes and situations involving it. I wasn't going to post it to Royalroad as I didn't think Fanfiction was okay here - but now I see it is and I am quite convinced it is the best work I've ever done yet, I've got to see what any fans of NitW think about it! The first chapter was originally written as a short vignette and wasn't intended to be continued into a full blown story. It was just intended to be moody and evocative. Even though anyone that has played Night in the Woods has a good idea how this must end, I hope it will still be worth the read. Also, since I've finished writing it, I'm going to post it as one big chapter dump all at once. Cover drawing by GreasyMojo and colored by me (with permission!). I don't think it should be too risque on it's own but I suppose I'll soon find out.
