Chapter 46 Paper figurine presenting flowers (19)
Yan Xingchen completely saw the scene in front of him.
He came to Chen's house a long time ago again.
He was outside a bedroom, surrounded by children who grew up in the Chen house.
There were several people standing in the house, almost all of whom were adults. The boy who said what he said just now was also in the house - that was Alang.
The last time he entered the dream fragments, he directly integrated into the dream, became a person in the dream, and had a silent communication with Chen Wan'er at that point in time.
But only the last time was special.
This time, he was neither completely isolated in these scenes as a spectator, nor could he communicate with Chen Wan'er as he did last time.
He found that he was regarded as one of many children.
He seemed to have entered a storybook. The storybook is being staged. He is one of the puppets. He knows the plot of the storybook and is also an insignificant participant.
At first glance, he was in the group of children. Although his vision was much higher than those children, others were not surprised by his existence.
He looked in and saw Alang standing in front of Old Master Chen and several servants, but did not see the butler Uncle Chen.
When the surroundings were not clear just now, he thought to see the boy's face clearly. But everything was blurry at that time, so he naturally didn't see clearly.
Everything is clear now. He can see the child around him clearly, but he still can't see clearly when looking in. The reason why he can recognize that the one inside is Alang is because the clothes he wore was seen in his dream of presenting flowers.
Inside, Alang seemed to be very angry. The words just now were not responded to. He said hoarsely again: "I really didn't do it on purpose. I didn't do paperwork deliberately at night. I made that paperwork during the day, and I put it in the yard during the day. It was Brother Lin... Brother Lin thought I..." He paused.
Even though Yan Xingchen couldn't see his appearance clearly, he could still feel Alang's emotions from Alang's tone - Alang didn't really want to say the next thing.
But the boy said: "He thought I was unlucky, so he secretly took away the paper in the yard and threw it on my bed. I didn't pay attention when I was sleeping at night and ran into it. Unexpectedly, the paper went to Lin Ge'er's room at night, which scared Lin Ge'er..."
Yan Xingchen saw another boy in the house.
The boy looked about the same age as Alang. He was lying on the bed, with several circles of gauze wrapped around his head, closed his eyes, and muttering in his mouth: "Ghost...Ghost..."
The gauze was clearly wrapped for several layers, but blood could still be seen oozing out.
He listened carefully to the conversation about the people around him for a while, probably knowing what was going on now.
——This may be the beginning of an accident before the wedding!!
It happened after Alang sent flowers to Chen Wan'er every day and got Chen Wan'er's words "can get married" before they got married.
Since Alang's specialness was discovered by others, Mr. Chen has not continued to hide it.
Alang learns paperwork with Mr. Chen, and does these jobs during the day to avoid problems at night. Everyone thinks that Alang is a monster and can do bad things, but in fact he has always been restraining himself. Even if he is angry, he has never really done anything with his own abilities.
But yesterday, something happened to Chen's house.
Among those children, there was a boy about the same age as Alang, and these people were called Lin Ge'er.
Lin Ge'er is not as good as Alang for papermaking. He thinks that the reason why Alang's papermaking is good is because of his strange ability. So Lin Ge'er always has friction with Alang, and sometimes the two even fight. Yan Xingchen saw the footprints on Alang in the dream of giving flowers, which is mostly due to this.
But Alang was used to enduring it, and Lin Ge'er always punched him on the cotton. Over time, he disliked him even more and wanted to see Alang get defeated.
Last night, Lin Ge'er made trouble and secretly took away the paper made by Alang, threw it back to Alang's room, and placed it on his bed. His original intention was to make Mr. Chen think Alang was lazy and also to scare Alang.
As a result, Alang was too tired when he returned to the house and went to bed without paying attention to the situation in the house. At that night, Jade Zha met Alang and came to life. Maybe it was just right, maybe it was Jade Zha who had a little consciousness and knew who was the one who was making trouble. In short, Jade Zha happened to walk to Lin Ge'er's room by himself, which scared the other party.
Brother Lin was scared away, fell on the way, bumped into the steps, and just broke his head and was still in a daze. At this moment, he was lying on the bed in a coma.
After Mr. Chen learned about this, he hired a doctor and Brother Lin barely saved his life.
But it was true that Brother Lin was injured in an accident, so Mr. Chen called all the children to ask.
Alang was pushed out like this. Now, Mr. Chen is asking Alang if he did it.
Alang is explaining to himself.
This paper was clearly moved by Lin Ge'er. Although he "live" because of his touch, he did nothing.
That kind of aggrieved and resentful emotion filled the entire space. He clearly felt this strong negative emotion, and even his innate problematic soul was affected. Negative emotions poured into his heart like empathy.
An unspeakable desire for destruction and violence filled Yan Xingchen's mind. He subconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to suppress this impulse.
Outside the house, the children whispered, and a voice lowered, saying, "It must be his intention. He was already very unlucky. Maybe he held a grudge against Lin Ge'er and deliberately arranged for paper people to scare Lin Ge'er."
"That's right," the other child didn't even lower his voice, and he still loudly said, "It sounds so nice. The paper man is clearly in his room, and Lin Ge'er's room is so far away from him. How could he just go to find Lin Ge'er just now?"
Alang didn't say anything.
He was waiting for Mr. Chen's attitude.
After a moment, Mr. Chen sighed and said, "Xiaolin and the others don't deal with you, and you will want to take revenge on them, which is normal. Did you really not do anything?"
At this moment, the resentment and grievance that Yan Xingchen felt stagnated for a moment.
This is not because the emotions have disappeared, but because the sources of emotions have been blank at this time - perhaps Alang didn't expect that Mr. Chen had the same attitude as well.
Even Yan Xingchen was stunned for a moment.
But he actually empathized with such emotions. As an outsider, his thoughts moved slightly and he thought clearly about the reason.
Mr. Chen is a kind person and has done a lot of good things.
He has been dealing with funerals and those unlucky things all year round, and he has a little more tolerance than those in the town in this regard.
But this tolerance and kindness are not endless.
No matter how kind he is, he is just an old man who does paper business. How could he be really not afraid of those strange powers and gods at all?
Mr. Chen, after all, is an ordinary old man.
He was the same as everyone thought. They all felt that since Alang had this ability, how could he repay his grudges with kindness, and how could he swallow his anger?
Mr. Chen can accept that Alang is a special child and a monster in the eyes of others, but when other children are hurt, the person in the game cannot see clearly like him, an outsider.
But Alang is indeed innocent.
The paper man was not controlled by Alang, but just scared Lin Ge'er who was making trouble.
But he was born a monster, and was somewhat less fair than others, and was born to be inferior to others in such disputes.
The boy was stunned for a long time when facing Mr. Chen’s questions, and then said blankly: “I really don’t…”
"It's him!"
"unlucky!"
"monster……"
"I've said that he will harm people!"
"He will harm Brother Lin today, and he will harm others tomorrow!"
With such reprimands, Alang looked around and left.
He seems to be looking for someone.
Yan Xingchen also looked around and found that Chen Wan'er was not here.
Then, he heard Alang whisper, "...I'm sorry, I apologize."
Yan Xingchen groaned.
The surging negative emotions were almost shattering his mind at this moment, and he felt like he had been torn apart.
It hurts so much.
The children were talking louder.
Mr. Chen sighed several times.
Outside the aisle connected to the house is a small courtyard in Chen's house, with rows of newly made paper pieces hanging on the courtyard.
The paper man didn't have the finishing touch, his eyes were empty, but his mouth was hooked upward lines, facing this piece, like a stiff and silent mockery.
Yan Xingchen took a deep breath again and tried hard to suppress the swaying desire for destruction.
He couldn't even tell whether these emotions came from the Earth Demons or... from himself.
It comes from the empathy brought by his own past memories that have been hooked up.
If he hadn't been a spectator at this time, perhaps Jin Shei had already been thrown out.
Kill them and they will shut up.
Just do it...
This idea was too extreme. A moment flashed through Yan Xingchen's mind, and he suddenly felt a sudden thrill.
This is not his idea.
...Yes, this is a little evil spirit.
This is not a dream fragment, he is not safe to watch a memory, he needs to remain sane and crack the death trigger at critical moments.
If he is not careful, he will stay here forever.
The evil karma gold was dismantled and wrapped around his wrist. He pulled the thread and pulled it hard.
The golden thin thread immediately pulled a big blood mark on his fair arm!
Blood flowed out of the wound, and the pain and the smell of blood stimulated Yan Xingchen's senses, pulling his consciousness and reason slightly back.
At the same time, the white fog in front of me was confused, the scenery blurred for a while, and the scene in front of Yan Xingchen changed.
He came to a remote corner of Chen's house.
There is also a wooden house here, but compared to what he saw before, the room was much dilapidated, with the door closed and the inside could not be seen.
But as a player, Yan Xingchen has five senses that are much better than the others in this memory. He heard the movements in the house.
There is someone in the house.
But when you look outside the outer room, there are many paper people inside, densely packed. At first glance, they are all figures. It is impossible to tell which one is a paper person and which one is a real person.
If he hadn't heard someone inside turning over while sleeping, he would have felt that there were paper people in the house.
A few young people - the children who had previously accused Ah Lang of the door were standing secretly outside the window of the room.
One of the boys was Brother Lin who was lying on the bed before.
He was still wearing a few circles of gauze on his head, looking haggard, but his spirits were much better, and his injuries should be improving.
Brother Lin was holding a bucket of liquid-shaped things in his hand, which smelled pungent and knew it was oily at the first time.
……Oil.
fire!
"Brother Lin, there will be no one inside, right?" Another young man held a fire stick that had not been lit in his hand. With the help of another person, he lit the torch.
Brother Lin was also a little nervous. But he hesitated for a moment, and walked forward and said, "What are you afraid of? This is the house where bad things are made of paper. Except for him, no one will come. And every day, the bad things are to pick flowers for Sister Wan'er. He is not here. The paper he made these days is placed in this room, and we burn it. When the time comes, it is said that he accidentally made it, uncle will definitely scold him! Who knows it will be made by us? It's just a paper burner, not a burner."
Uncle is referring to Mr. Chen, and the children he picked up call him Mr. Chen.
"But the house was burned..."
"If I don't do this, why would my uncle get angry? This bad thing made me lose my head. Uncle actually punished him to kneel for a day, and asked him to continue to be a paper man yesterday. Why? Isn't it just because Sister Wan'er is good to him?"
"I don't know what Sister Wan'er thought..."
"Don't worry, come and light the fire."
Yan Xingchen subconsciously walked forward and reached out to stop them.
But his hands passed through Lin Ge'er's body and touched nothing.
This is just an old past event. The people in the little earthly evil have long died, and he can only see and cannot touch it.
He grabbed Kong, glanced at his Kongguan's palm, and turned around.
Brother Lin had already poured a bucket of oil in his hand into the room a few times.
Another boy threw the torch in his hand.
This Earth Demon did not completely reproduce the scene at that time, and the time flowed very fast.
Yan Xingchen blinked his eyes, and the fire filled the wooden house, and the whole room was burning.
Those teenagers were not old and were quite calm before doing it, but when they saw that the fire was so big, they were stunned. They didn't have time to take the barrels and torches in their hands, so they turned around and ran away.
Yan Xingchen saw many shadows of paper men swaying and collapsing in the flames in the flames, and a figure that was obviously different from the paper men swayed in the flames.
...So that's the case?
Alang would go to pick flowers for Wan'er every morning, so these boys felt that Alang would not be in the room at this time.
But maybe the two had already decided to get married, or maybe because Alang had just been punished by Mr. Chen, he did not go out and he was sleeping in the room.
This malicious arson did not want human life, but by chance, it burned people to death.
Then Chen Wan'er... was resentful because of Alang's death. She killed everyone in anger and died together?
Although everyone was dead, things actually happened.
Time cannot be reversed, what happened cannot be repeated, and happiness turns into funerals.
The resentment condensed, the evil spirits remained obsessed, and the whole town and the evil spirits turned into earth evil together, and time was forever solidified at that moment. The Chen family kept welcoming new "guests", and the guests were made into paper men, day after day...
He looked at the burning fire and found that he could not hear anything.
He walked forward and wanted to go in and take a look.
But everything around him began to tremble violently, and his body turned into a sea of fire that was not real. The burning smell stimulated his nose, and he could not hear or see anything else.
The boy's sharp voice came from all directions, passing through his eardrums.
That was a question after a while.
"Why set fire?"
"Am I really wrong?"
"Why do they always think I'm guilty?"
“…What’s my sin?”
The sea of fire around him was clearly a phantom from decades ago and could not hurt him at all, but he felt as if he was placed on a torture rack, and the heat burned his body and mind.
He saw more than just the past of Alang and Chen Wan'er.
He also saw himself.
Crazy desire to destroy comes out.
This little evil deed is really his nemesis.
On his arm, the scars scratched by Jin were still flowing blood, reminding him to stay sane.
Yan Xingchen felt ruthless, and his fingertips curled up again. Jin Shei made another cut beside the wound.
The fine pain doubled the nerves and slightly pulled back his reason.
This is the death trigger of the little evil.
He wants to give an answer and make a choice.
Just like the death trigger he encountered when he first entered the dungeon, if he made the wrong choice or gave the wrong answer, the person who crashed into the Earth Demon will die without a burial place.
He heard the voice and asked again-
"I'm just born different from others, and I want to be a normal person, too..."
