The rain was pouring down, and Yu Xing, who hurriedly ran out of the house without an umbrella, seemed to be wrapped in a curtain of water. Even breathing was a little difficult because the air was full of water vapor.
Under such circumstances, he really had an inspiration and finally raised his head with difficulty to pay attention to the telephone pole.
The scene when the cable was struck by lightning, suddenly broke, and fell from the sky with sparks mixed with it was what he saw in the bathroom. Together with Ye Ming's body in the bathtub and the jar full of blood, as well as the violence rising in his heart
The emotion framed that scene into a very thrilling picture.
So he was very impressed.
At that time, there was a power outage because the cable was chopped, and the house was dark. They even found candles for lighting. When he went to look at the cables the next day, he only saw intact cables. Even the power was restored, as if there was a power outage.
Those few hours were all hallucinations.
But now, with Ye Ming and Ye Ting chasing after them with knives behind them, and a frightened Yu Wan in front of them, Yu Xing finally understood the meaning of the power outage in the heavy rain.
The breakage of the cable should have happened on the day when the three brothers and sisters and Yu Xi were hacked to death in reality. It just so happened that the moment he saw the cable being struck by lightning was also the moment when Ye Ming's body was hacked with a small axe.
Time to go.
In fact, it was already hinted at that time... Ye Ming was chopped and the cable fell.
The power went out the day everyone died.
what about now?
Yu Xing could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, and Yu Wan couldn't help but grab his arm, trying to force him to escape. He could hear his heavy breathing coming from this body whose physical strength was not that of a junior high school student.
All the prompts that should be given were given, and the system placed the prompts on the less conspicuous telephone poles in a very stupid way. This was to test the deducer's ability to observe the subtleties, and...the courage to give up on survival.
"Yu Bao." He pulled Yu Bao's arm, forcing both of them to stop.
Yu Wan yelled: "Are you stupid? If you have anything to do, let's run away!"
They ran pretty fast. Halfway across the road, they threw away the two ghosts for more than ten meters. Ye Ting chased slowly, and Ye Ming still needed to drag his body, so he was even slower.
.
Looking at it this way, it's as if they deliberately let Yu Wan and "Ye Qin" go, as if everything was making concessions to achieve a good ending.
But Yu Xing was unmoved at the moment, even his expression was a bit cold: "Escape, is this really what you want?"
"You know, there is no point in escaping here. The real you will still be trapped in the house, but you will have a memory of self-deception. You can happily spend an ordinary life with me, and look back
When you come, you will find that in fact you have always been there and have never moved a step. Is this really what you want?"
Under Yu Wan's dull eyes, Yu Xing deepened his tone and asked again.
"What are you talking about...Ye Qin, why can't I understand..." Yu Wan murmured, with confusion and pain in his expression, "Why can't I understand..."
She didn't remember it completely, so of course she didn't understand it.
But what Yu Xing wants is not for her to remember everything completely. He just wants a trend and sign of "awakening", a ladder to the truth.
"Are you willing to immerse yourself in false happiness? Don't you want to find the thing you have been looking for? Don't you want to be free?" He softened his tone, and strangely, Ye Ming and Ye Ting, who were chasing them behind, heard him
Then he slowly stopped.
The two ghosts held their knives, but stayed strangely behind them, as if they were also waiting for Yu Wan's answer.
Yu Wan stood there quietly, her cheeks blurred by the heavy rain.
She seemed still hesitant.
Yu Xing raised his hand and touched the rainwater that was about to soak his entire face. He then reached out and took a few messy strands of hair in front of Yu Man's cheek and brought them behind her ears. He leaned closer and asked softly in Yu Man's ear: "Yu Man
Sorry, if it were you, which one is more important, the good ending or the true ending?"
He can pass both endings and write papers, but of course he knows the difference.
Although the paper does not show the difference between the two options, it will definitely be reflected in the fact that there are so many pitfalls in the system when scoring, and it is not unexpected to have another big pitfall.
"But I..." Yu Wan finally broke through his defense and cried, "But when I wake up, you will never appear again!"
"Ye Qin, you idiot!"
"Well, I'm a fool." Yu Xing coaxed, sincerely feeling that Ye Qin was a fool.
It's been so many years. Since we like each other, why didn't we say it? He and Yu Wan were not people who fell in love with each other not long after they met. They grew up together and knew each other well, so why should they care about anything else?
Does it mean that once you confess your feelings, you can no longer study hard and get into a good university?
It doesn't mean that you need to do anything that minors shouldn't do. At least express your feelings to each other, which is better than regretting it after you die.
Yu Xing just felt that people never know whether today's beauty will disappear tomorrow or in the next second, and a normal person's life only lasts a few decades, why not let every day be without regrets?
Unlike him, he has too many regrets and cannot make up for them.
He said the last few words to Wan: "I can be freed only when you wake up. I don't want to continue wandering around in a daze. Let me... go."
He took out the death notice from his pocket and blocked it with his body to prevent it from getting wet from the rain, but the paper was still inevitably stained by the water marks on his hands.
Yu Xing stuffed the paper into Yu Wan's bag, and then smiled: "Let's face our reality."
Ye Ming, who was in ghost form, suddenly said: "I don't want to go on like this anymore. Let me be free. My sister and I..."
He glanced at Ye Ting, stretched out his arm full of wounds from the axe, and held Ye Ting in his arms, who was not much better than him: "We have wanted to leave for a long time."
The corners of Ye Ting's mouth were cracked. The ax had probably fallen on her cheek more than once. It looked extremely horrifying. She echoed darkly: "I don't want to accompany you."
The implication is that although Yu Wan was the first to think of saving himself, they also did not want to wander here or reincarnate in the church.
Even though they have turned into complete ghosts here, as long as they mention leaving, their obsession can still give them a brief moment of clarity.
Let's go.
leave.
End it.
Yu Wan looked at the faces of these old acquaintances, confused and wondering why things turned out like this.
They should sit at the table and eat, talk and laugh, and look forward to the future together. She remembered that Ye Qin had told her more than once that if you were admitted to a university in another province, you would no longer have to look at your mother every day.
Being locked up in the room and crying because of mental illness, I no longer have to watch my father become more and more irritable and collapse day by day because of my mother's affairs.
Why?
Why are they now in the rain, trying to escape and chase at the same time?
Oh, it seems that on the day of the power outage, Ye Qin's father went out to socialize and had not returned home. His mother was stimulated by the darkness and escaped from the room. Then she used an ax that had been stored in the attic for many years to kill them all.
Hacked 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, after finishing her homework, was sitting next to Ye Qin playing games.
When the terrifying woman came down covered in blood and holding an axe, none of them reacted for a moment, and in her eyes, that crazy and cruel face was deeply imprinted, becoming her eternal nightmare.
That's right...
They are all dead.
The confusion in Yu Cang's eyes gradually faded away, but sadness surged in like a sea.
"Go back." She said, "I understand, go back."
She took the lead and walked back to the house, and Yu Xing followed her, almost side by side with the two ghosts.
The four figures were soaked to the skin. On the ground, the rain mixed with the gurgling blood, smudged it, and was quickly washed away by new raindrops.
Yu Xing re-entered the door, facing the familiarly furnished hall, but the color in his eyes seemed to have faded, leaving only a grayish dark color.
"I'm back." Yu Wan glanced at him, "But what should I do after I come back."
She seemed to only know that she would come here, and she had no clue what happened next.
"It's okay, don't worry. Leave the rest to me."
Yu Xing still vaguely remembered a concept in his mind, a concept that he carefully warned himself not to forget.
attic.
All the secrets, after Yu Wan's "awakening", have become truths that can be seen.
He entered the church after going up to the attic before, but he had already obtained the key to the church door and left the church in a dignified manner. This time he went up to the attic... and he should be able to see the true appearance of the attic.
After entering the house, Yu Xing walked in front. He led the others and the ghosts up the creaking stairs to the second floor. Ignoring the bloodstains on the floor, he hooked the umbrella with the long umbrella in Ye Ming's room.
The iron ring on the attic staircase pulled the stairs down.
The three siblings and Yu Wan couldn't help but look up, feeling a sense of belonging.
They all realize that their end point is the real end here, not another tragic reincarnation.
Before Yu Xing could speak, Ye Ming went up first.
Ye Ting glanced at Yu Xing, opened her mouth but said nothing, and followed her elder brother's footsteps before climbing up the stairs to the attic.
After going up, the two ghosts just disappeared out of thin air without making any sound, just like pebbles falling into the sea, even the waves were wiped out.
"Let me take another look at you." Yu Wan turned his head and looked at Yu Xing with a pair of beautiful eyes, "I won't have a chance in the future."
"Yes, but maybe there will be a chance in the next life." Yu Xing smiled, and he did not hesitate to give Ye Qin and Yu Wan a kind blessing, "I hope you can be together in the next life."
Saying the word "you" from his mouth was tantamount to self-destruction, but Yu Wan actually acted as if he had known it for a long time. He had no questions or refutations, and just nodded.
"Thank you very much." She said, "I can see his appearance, and it is good to keep it in my heart. Maybe you are right, we will really meet in the next life. I hope I will not forget him by then.
What does it look like?”
Sure enough, Yu Wan had noticed something was wrong with Ye Qin a long time ago. She was in a strange state of being half aware and half uninformed, living in this world in confusion and ignorance.
But Yu Xing didn't know whether Yu Wan's world really existed or was just a test question used by the system to test them.
Otherwise, if Yu Wan wants to remember his appearance now, 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 have to go get something. Just wait for me and come up with me."
Yu Wan blinked: "Okay."
Yu Xingzhe returned to the page's room, took out two things, and then returned to Yu Wan.
He stepped onto the stairs, followed closely by Yu Wan.
It was dark above. As the stairs continued to accumulate, his level also rose, and he gradually saw the whole attic.
At first glance, it is still dark because there are no lights.
The sound of rain seemed to be isolated from the distant boundary, and everything around him became silent. He saw Ye Ming and Ye Ting, who had come up first, standing in a place in the attic. Under their feet, there seemed to be several things lying horizontally.
He also walked forward, his eyes adjusted to the darkness, and as he got closer, he could clearly see what those things were.
It is a very familiar item.
black cloth.
The black cloth in the attic erased the strange rumors and returned to their most essential function of shrouds.
Pieces of black cloth occasionally wrinkled, covering up the bodies they wrapped. Yu Xing thought, no wonder there are strange things like black cloth in the supernatural rumors in "this world", and the black cloth cannot be opened, that's because
...The black cloth was used to cover the bodies of the three brothers and sisters and Yu Wan.
The attic was empty, except for four corpses wrapped in black cloth, and a rotten female corpse lying in the corner with no cover.
That's mom.
Yu Xing recognized the goddess at the first sight. The corpse was almost exactly the same as the female ghost in the church who was carrying an ax and chasing and killing people. She was wearing a white dress, but the dress was stained with blood.
But it wasn't the blood stains from cutting others, but the fact that she was trapped in the attic with no food or water, so she scratched the door panel and scratched her hands until blood dripped from her hands.
"Alas..." Yu Wan sighed.
This is the culprit who killed them and their endless nightmare, but it also got the cruelest ending.
The father of the three brothers and sisters is really...
Too cruel.
"Take off the black cloth," Yu Xing said, "Take off the black cloth and we can all leave."
He passes the customs, others are freed, it is fair and just.
Ye Ming was the first to step forward, his hands trembling slightly as he opened a black cloth.
Heibuli revealed Ye Ting's face. Her small cheeks had been taken care of by the people at the funeral home and she had put on makeup, so she didn't look scary anymore.
