Chapter 21 The real ending(1/2)
The rainstorm was pouring, and Yu Xing, who was in a hurry to run out of the house without an umbrella, seemed to be wrapped in a water curtain, and even breathing was difficult because the air was filled with water vapor.
In this case, he was really inspired to look up and pay attention to the telephone pole.
When the cable was struck by lightning and suddenly broke, mixed with sparks falling from the air, he saw it in the bathroom. Coupled with Ye Ming's body in the bathtub and the blood full of the jar, and the tyrannical emotions rising in his heart, the scene was frozen into a very thrilling scroll.
So he was deeply impressed.
At that time, the power outage was broken because the cable was chopped and the house was pitch black. They even looked for candles to light it. The next day when he went to see the cable, he only saw the intact cable, and even the power was restored, as if the few hours of the power outage were hallucinations.
But now, Ye Ming and Ye Ting were chasing with a knife behind them, and Yu Wan was frightened in front of them. Yu Xing finally knew the meaning of the power outage in the heavy rain.
The cable breaks, which should be what happened on the day when the three brothers and sisters and Yu Wan were cut to death in reality. Just so happened that the moment when he saw the cable being struck by lightning was the moment when Ye Ming's body was chopped away by him with a small axe.
In fact, it was already prompted at that time... Ye Ming was cut and the cable fell.
The electricity went out the day when everyone died.
What about now?
Yu Xing could hear the footsteps coming closer and closer, and Yu Wan could no longer help but hold his arm and wanted to force him to escape. He could hear his heavy breathing - from the body that was not in junior high school.
All the prompts that should be given were given. The system put the prompts on the less conspicuous telephone pole, which was a test of the deducer's ability to observe in detail and...the courage to give up on survival.
"Yu Wan." He held Yu Wan's arm, causing both of them to stop.
Yu Wan shouted: "Are you stupid? Let's talk about it if you have something to do!"
They ran quite fast, half a road distance, they threw two ghosts for more than ten meters. Ye Ting chased after them slowly, and Ye Ming even needed to drag his body, so it was slower.
From this perspective, it was as if they deliberately let go of Yu Wan and "Ye Qin", as if everything was making concessions to the achievement of a good ending.
But Yu Xing was unmoved at this moment, and even his expression was a little cold: "Escape, is this really what you want?"
"You know, the escape here is meaningless. The real you will still be trapped in the house, but there is only a bit of self-deception. You can spend the life of an ordinary person with me happily. When you look back, you will find that you have been there all the time and never moved. Is this really what you want?"
Yu Xing deepened his tone and asked again in his dull eyes.
"What are you talking about... Ye Qin, why can't I understand..." Yu Wan murmured, with confusion and pain in her expression, "Why can't I understand..."
She didn't remember it completely, of course she couldn't understand it.
But what Yu Xing wants is not her who remembers everything completely. He only has a trend and signs of "awakening", a ladder to reality.
"Are you willing to immerse yourself in false happiness? Don't you want to find the thing you've been looking for? Don't you want to be relieved?" He eased his tone. Strangely, Ye Ming and Ye Ting, who were chasing them behind, stopped slowly when they heard his words.
The two ghosts held their swords, but strangely stayed behind them, as if waiting for Yu Wan's answer.
Yu Wan stood there quietly, and the heavy rain blurred her cheeks.
She seemed to be hesitating.
Yu Xing raised his hand and touched the rainwater that was about to soak his entire face, then reached out and brought a few messy strands of hair in front of Yu Wan's cheeks to her ears, and approached him, and asked softly in his ears: "Yu Wan, if it were you, which one is more important, a good ending or a real ending?"
He was able to pass the test in both endings, but of course he knew the difference.
Although the difference between the two options will not be seen on the paper, it will definitely be reflected in the ratings - there are so many pits in the system, and it is not unpredictable to have a big pit.
"But I..." Yu Wan finally broke the defense in his question, and she cried, "But I wake up, you will never show up again!"
"Ye Qin, you idiot!"
"Well, I'm a fool." Yu Xing coaxed him, and he really felt that Ye Qin was a fool.
After so many years, since you like it, why don’t you say it? He and Yu Wan are not people who fell in love with each other before they met each other. They grew up together and know the truth. Why should they care about anything else?
If you confess your love, you can't continue to study hard. Are you going to get into a good university?
It’s not that we need to do something that a minor shouldn’t do. At least we can show each other’s feelings. It’s better than regretting it after dying.
Yu Xing just feels that people never know that today's beauty will disappear tomorrow or the next second, and a normal person's life is only decades, so why not leave any regrets every day?
Unlike him, there are too many regrets, and it will never be able to make up for it.
He said the last few words to Lau: "I can only be relieved when you wake up, and I don't want to continue wandering around in a daze. Let me... go."
He took out the death notice in his pocket and blocked it from being wet by the rain, but the paper still inevitably had water marks on his hands.
Yu Xing stuffed the paper into Yu Wan's bag, and then smiled: "Go and face our reality."
Ye Ming, who was in the ghost form, suddenly said, "I don't want to continue like this anymore. Let me be relieved, my sister and I..."
He glanced at Ye Ting, stretched out his arm, which was cut out by an axe, and hugged Ye Ting, who was not much better than him, in his arms: "We also want to leave for a long time."
Ye Ting's mouth was cracked, and the axe that had once fell on her cheeks more than once. Looking at it was extremely terrifying, she echoed sinisterly: "I don't want to be with you."
The implication is that although Yu Wan first thought of saving himself, they also do not want to wander here and reincarnate in the church.
Even if they become completely evil spirits here, as long as they leave, obsession can still give them a brief soberness.
Let's go.
Let's leave.
Let's end.
Yu Wan looked at the faces of these old acquaintances and was stunned and didn't know why things turned out like this.
They should sit at the table and eat well, talk and laugh, and be full of longing for the future together. She remembered that Ye Qin told her more than once that when she was admitted to a university in another province, she could no longer watch her mother being locked in the house and crying because of her mental illness, and no longer have to watch her father becoming more and more irritable and collapsed because of her mother's affairs.
Why?
Why are they chasing and chasing in the rain now?
Oh, it seems that it was because of the day of the power outage, Ye Qin's father went out for social activities and had not yet returned home. His mother was stimulated by the darkness and escaped from the room. Then she used an axe that had been kept in the attic for many years and hacked them to death.
At that time, Ye Ming was taking a shower in the bathroom, Ye Ting was doing homework in the living room, Ye Qin was tutoring Ye Ting, and she was sitting next to Ye Qin and playing games after finishing her homework.
When the terrifying woman was covered in blood, they didn't react for a while, and in her eyes, the crazy and cruel face was deeply imprinted, becoming her eternal nightmare.
That's right...
They are all dead.
The confusion gradually faded in Yu Wan's eyes, but sadness surged like the sea.
"Go back." She said, "I get it, go back."
She took the lead in walking back to the house, and Yu Xing followed her, almost side by side with the two ghosts.
The four figures were soaked all over. On the ground, the rain mixed with the flowing blood, which was stained and quickly washed away by new raindrops.
Yu Xing entered the door again and faced the familiar hall with the furnishings, the colors in his eyes seemed to have faded, leaving only gray darkness.
"Here I'm back." Yu Wan glanced at him, "But what should I do after I come back."
She seemed to know that she would come here, and she would have no idea what happened in the future.
"It's okay, don't worry. Leave the rest to me."
Yu Xing still remembered a concept in his mind, a concept that he carefully warned himself that he must not forget.
attic.
All the secrets have become truths that can be seen after the regretful "awakening".
He entered the church after going to the attic, but he had already obtained the key to the church gate and left the church with dignified dignity. This time he went to the attic again... he should be able to see the real appearance of the attic.
After entering the house, Yu Xing walked in front of him. He led the others and ghosts, stepped on the squeaking stairs to the second floor, ignored the blood marks all over the ground, hooked the iron ring of the attic stairs with Ye Ming's long umbrella, and pulled the stairs down.
The three brothers and sisters and Yu Wan couldn't help but look upward, and they felt a sense of belonging.
They all realized that their end was here - the real end, not another tragic cycle.
Before Yu Xing could speak, Ye Ming went up first.
Ye Ting glanced at Yu Xing, opened her mouth but didn't say anything, and followed the elder brother's footsteps and climbed the attic from the stairs.
After going up, the two ghosts disappeared out of thin air, without any sound, like stones entering the sea, and even the waves were destroyed.
"Let me look at you again." Yu Wan turned her head and looked at Yu Xing with beautiful eyes, "There is no chance in the future."
"Yes, but maybe you have a chance in the next life." Yu Xing smiled. He was not stingy with Yu giving Ye Qin and Yu Han a kind blessing, "I hope you can be together in the next life."
It was like saying the word "you" from him, which was like self-destruction, but Yu Wan had known it for a long time, without any doubt or refutation, just nodding.
"Thank you very much," she said. "It's good that I can see his appearance, and it's good to remember it in my heart. Maybe you're right. We can really meet it in the next life. I hope I won't forget what he looks like by then."
Sure enough, Yu Wan had actually noticed something wrong with Ye Qin. She was in a strange state of half-knowing and half-doing, living in this world in a daze and ignorant way.
But Yu Xing didn't know whether Yu Wan's world really existed or was it just a test question that the system used to test them.
Otherwise, Yu Wan wants to remember what he looks like now, and what exactly is it? Can she see the face that originally belonged to Ye Qin through Yu Xing's 17-year-old appearance?
Yu Xing didn't want to delve into this issue. He glanced at the darkness above and said, "I'm going to get something. Wait for me and go up with me."
Yu Wan blinked: "Okay."
Yu Xingzhe returned to Ye Ming's room, took out two things, and then returned to Yu Wan.
He stepped onto the stairs, and Yu Wan followed closely behind.
There was darkness above. As the stairs accumulated one level and one level, his level height also rose, and he gradually saw the full picture of the attic.
At first glance, it still looks pitch black because there is no light.
