Chapter 68: Faint Crow

"Stop it, stop talking."

The noisier the little hole was, the calmer Gu Xing became——

Its almost crazy inciting words were clearly intended to push Gu Xing into the fire pit. Gu Xing went in through his left ear and out through his right ear.

"I have thought about the grotesque image. How should I express it? Draw it?"

[It’s boring, you are really boring]

[Just think about it in your head and I will draw it for you]

After a while, a new pattern was drawn on the note——

A circle, with an eye inside the circle, looking at the world outside the circle with pity.

[Wow, this image is kind of interesting. However, I want to remind you that the eyes you depict at this time may not be able to be saved]

"What's the meaning?"

[Because the agent's mood will change sooner or later. You will never be so kind and compassionate forever... Forget it, you can't listen to me after saying so much. The next link...]

"Um?"

[Ask the describer to name the weirdness]

Gu Xing had already thought about it: "Let's call it [Lucifer's Deal]."

【Lucifer?】

【Why do you think of such a name? 】

[Haha, Lucifer, I understand, the fallen angel Lucifer who turned into a snake and sneaked into the Garden of Eden, right? The one who tempted Eve to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree of knowledge]

[I know what you are implying - in the myth, Lucifer tempted God's new creation to eat the fruit and fall together. At the same time, it also opened the door to the new world for the devil. From then on, sin, disease, and death all suffered.

Finally spread throughout the world]

[Do you want to use this method to tell those triggerers that they are making a deal with the devil? It’s useless, I tell you it’s useless]

[Do you know why? Anyone who triggers this weirdness has an obsession in their heart that is irreversible. As long as they can contain the weirdness and gain strength, what if they fall into hell? 】

Gu Xing fell silent.

After a long time, he suddenly said: "You think too much... so what if you fall into hell?

The human world, which is full of weirdness, is already a hell. If you want to survive in hell, it is normal to make a deal with the devil. Or, it doesn't matter if you simply become a devil. I understand them, or, in a sense, I

Also one of them.”

[Wow, it’s amazing to have this kind of awareness. It really amazes me... But don’t worry, your situation is much better than theirs]

[By the way, let me remind Gu Xingjun again - the devil's deal, once started, cannot be stopped until someone falls into hell]

[It’s either them or you. Don’t be too soft-hearted]

Listening to its voice, it seemed as if Gu Xing had been tied to a speeding high-speed train with no way back.

"Don't talk too much."

Now it was indeed Gu Xing who took the initiative to board this devil's train to hell.

But Gu Xing secretly made up his mind that one day, when he was tired of all this, he would get off the train safely and calmly under the gaze of Xiaodong. Then, he would wave his hand without taking away any regret or nostalgia.

[Please confirm that the monster is generated. Once it is generated, "Lucifer's transaction will become a real monster in this world." Souls full of obsessions will rush to the demonic field of the transaction one after another, praying for the agent to open his eyes.

Cast your gaze and give strength]

[No one can take him in unless he chooses to fall into hell]

[Although he is just a middleman, the generous price difference will make him rich]

[Given that Lucifer is just the agent of the weird traders in this world, weirdness is real, and this description will not require the describer to pay any life span]

"Confirm generation!"

The next moment, the note flew up and went into the small hole.

At the same time, a huge roll of paper fell from the huge black hole above Central Park and disappeared the moment it left the black hole.

In the early morning, everything is silent.

In the temporary laboratory below the black hole, Leng He, the eccentric investigator stationed in Lidu City from the Dongdu Metropolitan Police Department, woke up from his dream.

She hurriedly put on her white coat, walked out of the laboratory, and witnessed the last moment the paper disappeared.

Placed outside the laboratory, regular monitoring cameras recorded everything.

After a while, the assistant ran out and said, "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Let's watch the surveillance," Leng He said, "report the situation to the Dongdu Police Department as soon as possible."

"OK!"

The assistant quickly walked to the camera and pressed the playback button. After a while, his expression suddenly changed.

"Hey, there seemed to be an eye in this hole just now..."

The two of them looked at the black hole above their heads at the same time. At this moment, there was only darkness.



Nara apartment basement.

The roll of paper disappeared into the light of the small hole.

Gu Xing withdrew his gaze.

There was another note in his hand:

【Do you want to watch Crow's live broadcast? 】

"Stop talking nonsense and start broadcasting directly."

[It was late at night and everything was pitch black. Crow got into a taxi. It started to rain at some point outside the car window. The driver turned on the radio and played "It Rains Again in Nagasaki"

頬にこぼれるなみだの雨に,

The cheeks are covered with raindrops and tears,

明も情も世てたのに,

Give up life and love...]

When Crow got off the train at the Shinkansen station, the rain outside the train had just stopped.

She closed the car door.

The driver turned his head, looked at her with some resentment through the rain-soaked glass, and drove away quickly.

Thinking back on the journey just now, the light outside the car window flickered on and off, the road widened and narrowed, and the scenery kept changing, as if I had walked into a time and space tunnel.

The driver didn't feel right either. He seemed to have been fighting with the same invisible force. The steering wheel flickered left and right, and the front of the car slipped into the alley next to the main road from time to time, and finally came out unwillingly.

All in all, it was an inexplicable taxi ride.

But nothing could be more puzzling than the crow's current state -

She had absolutely no control over her body, and her body took it upon itself to embark on a journey with an unknown goal.

She watched the scenery along the way with cold eyes and became a spectator of this journey.

After the initial panic, she relaxed.

Since things are going out of control and nothing will help, it is better to put aside all worries and troubles and enjoy this rare journey in life.

Where will it take itself? I have some expectations.

Crow got on the Shinkansen, ordered a cup of coffee, and went to the restroom. She found that there was a boy in the seat opposite the front row who was too handsome. So, she stared at him the whole time... She just wanted to confirm his appearance.

Is it possible that being so handsome to such an inhuman level is a freak?

Who knows, what she will have to accommodate next is this kind of grotesque human form.

She got off the train at Dongdu Railway Station and ate a bowl of miso ramen nearby...

Then, for no apparent reason, I bought a pair of headphones that could be turned very loud at an electronics store near the train station...

She got on the bus and wandered for an unknown amount of time before arriving at the long-distance bus station...

She got on the bus and headed west of Dongdu. She thought that it had been a long time since she left a familiar environment with such a mentality that nothing mattered. From the moment she lost her family, she had to eliminate the weirdness that knocked on the door.

It became the main theme of her life.

On the way, a middle-aged man sitting in the back row with a diagonal scar on his face came over to chat with her in a smooth manner, but she rejected her with cold eyes.

She took the bus and walked more than 80 kilometers west, and got off the bus in a village called Fusheng.

The middle-aged man also got out of the car with her and followed her all the way.

In a deserted alley, a middle-aged man rushed towards her and was slapped against the wall by her, causing him to faint. The man's clothes were stripped off and he was hung on a tree.

Then, she walked all the way west to the western end of the village, and then walked west for more than ten miles. She saw a banyan tree with a huge crown, luxuriant branches and leaves, and hanging aerial roots. The whole thing looked like a green tree.

Giant mushroom.

The breeze blows, the aerial roots of the banyan tree sway gently, and the leaves make a rustling sound, very brisk.

The time was just after noon, the sun was slightly tilted to the west, the sun was shining brightly, and it was warm on my body.

Crow lay on the lawn next to the banyan tree, letting the sun shine down. She thought that she would probably get tanned if she didn't wear sunscreen today.

It is said that human skin has memory. Even if the tanned parts will turn white in the future, they will turn into age spots when the color fades with age.

Then go get a tan, you are doomed to be alone for a lifetime anyway, and you will show it to no one in vain.

The grass is emerald green, the sky is very blue, and the clouds are very white, as if they have been washed with clean water. Did it rain in Dongdu last night?

The turf is not wet, it is dry and warm, and feels velvety.

The melody of "It Rains Again in Nagasaki" that the taxi driver played last night sounded in her ears——

頬にこぼれるなみだの雨に,

The cheeks are covered with raindrops and tears,

明も情も世てたのに,

Give up life and love...

There are crisp sounds of birdsong all around. I can't see where they are hiding, but they are singing loudly and happily.

Not far away, a stream flows briskly.

There is a bluestone bridge over the stream. On the other side of the bridge are several houses with white walls and blue tiles. A faint curl of green smoke rises from the roof of one house.

The crow closed his eyes, feeling extremely sleepy after a sleepless night.

She quickly fell asleep and had a good dream. Her grandparents, parents, sister, and her young self went to the hot spring near Fusheng Village to take a bath together. Her sister sang a song, singing cheerfully and laughing.

The sound spread to the banyan tree far away.

A cold, whooshing wind blew by.

The crow suddenly woke up from his dream and opened his eyes——

It was late at night, and a red moon hung in the sky.

She took out her earphones, plugged the cord into her mobile phone, put the earphones into her ears, played metal rock, turned the volume to the maximum, and couldn't hear anything.

She stood up and looked at the huge banyan tree - the dense leaves disappeared, leaving only the dense and eerie dry branches, like long fingernails swaying in the cold wind.

There was a thick dead vine wrapped around the trunk, like a giant python with dry skin.

In the distance, a figure walked towards this side.

His steps were slow and heavy, and his body exuded bursts of deathly aura.

Getting closer and closer, the bloody moonlight shone on his face, and the outline of his facial features became clear——

It was the middle-aged man who Crow knocked unconscious during the day.

His entire eyeballs were white, and he was looking straight at the crow, with a strange aura in his eyes...
