I reached out and patted Chen Mengting beside me, and slowly grasped her soft hand: "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side, and I will always protect you."
"Um!"
Chen Mengting gave me a sweet smile and leaned against mine.
[I never thought that I could give others a sense of security and have the ability to make people like me...
Forget it, since we will part ways sooner or later, I might as well make you happy at this time and fulfill your wishes.]
I smiled, not feeling any disgust for the first time in a long time. Instead, I let Chen Mengting hold my arm tightly and slowly walked upstairs.
"Crunch... crunch..."
The stairs kept making harsh noises, which seemed to prove that her life was about to end. The harsher the sounds, the slower Chen Mengting's steps became, and her body leaned tightly on my arms, and the soft touch was also
Keep rubbing on my body.
Such benefits are actually a kind of torture for me.
I didn't know whether I liked Chen Mengting or not, and I didn't know how to respond to her intimacy. Moreover, under her intimate contact, I just felt that my body had some strange physiological reactions.
[Yang Chen, you are a gentleman, you must hold back, you must hold back!]
I kept muttering this sentence in my heart, and my pace slowly accelerated, looking forward to completing this short but long journey as soon as possible.
But this often backfires.
"Hiccup, crunch, crunch..."
The dilapidated stairs made the swaying sound of the trampled stairs getting louder and louder as my pace quickened, so much so that I firmly believed that it would break at any time, and the strength of Chen Mengting's hug was also
It's heavier.
[Forbearance, Yang Chen, you have to work harder!]
I breathed as slowly as possible, calmed my mind, and tried my best not to let myself feel the strange touch brought by the embrace.
"Snapped..."
The moment Chen Mengting stepped onto the second floor, I quickly followed suit, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[Finally arrived...relieved...]
When I reached the second floor, I almost collapsed to the ground, but compared to the touch conveyed by Chen Mengting's body, what I cared more about was the even more surprising sight in front of me.
On the second floor in front of me, half of the scene was covered by decay, and half of the scene was replaced by delicacy.
It's like two extremes in front of you. People who don't know will never think that the dilapidated and depressed left half of the house in front of them and the exquisite and perfect arrangement on the right are the same house. Don't tell others, even if I see it with my own eyes, I won't think that it is the same house.
Dare to believe this scene.
However, the house in front of me is still deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, I subconsciously turned my head and looked at the stairs behind me.
Sure enough, what I expected happened.
The stairs leading to the third floor behind me have undergone a qualitative change at the junction of the second floor. Starting from the third floor, all the stairs have changed from the previous decay and have been transformed into good and hard firewood, just like firewood.
It was just as perfect as the first time I came here.
"how so?"
Chen Mengting covered her little mouth and couldn't help asking me softly: "What happened? That led to this situation?"
"I see."
When I saw this scene, I widened my right eye, glanced around, murmured a few words, and then turned around to go upstairs without any hesitation.
"What did you understand? Yang Chen, tell me. I'm very curious."
Chen Mengting followed my pace with some confusion, and at the same time reached out and grabbed the corner of my clothes.
"Feng Linwan told me that this place has been like this since he was born. Apart from adding some facilities, he has not made any major changes here. That means there is a possibility that even after Feng Linwan's death, this place will also be the same.
It withered and dissipated together with Feng Linwan."
I bit my lips and my voice became a little deeper. I subconsciously strengthened the manuscript and Feng Linwan's clothes in my arms and hugged them tightly.
"Yang Chen..."
Chen Mengting looked at my movements and couldn't help lowering her head slowly: "How about we make a tomb for Feng Linwan to commemorate him."
"okay."
I nodded.
"Then if this place is ruined, how will we get out later?"
Chen Mengting looked around, leaned on my arm, and asked me worriedly.
"Don't be afraid. With my current strength, I can completely transfer us safely. Don't be afraid. Don't worry."
I reached out and patted Chen Mengting's shoulder, trying to calm Chen Mengting's emotions.
"It's okay, let's go find out the truth first."
Chen Mengting knows my obsession, so she is not prepared to delay or play tricks on me.
"Okay, let's go."
In this way, under Chen Mengting's arms, I slowly arrived at the third floor. As expected, the third floor is still the same as before, unchanged at all.
But next to the bookshelf, there was a man wearing a black robe, sitting in front of me.
As we stepped up the stairs, he slowly raised his head.
I won't admit it, he is sans.
"You finally came."
Sans smiled and said to me,
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
I bowed deeply and apologized deeply.
"It's fine."
Sans waved his hand: "These are all within my expectations. However, I didn't expect that the relationship between you two would heat up so quickly. This is what I didn't expect."
Sans's joke made Chen Mengting's cheeks turn red in an instant, and her body subconsciously let go of my arm, choosing to stand beside me obediently.
"Don't talk nonsense, we haven't done anything yet."
I waved my hand expressionlessly: "Besides, if you falsely accuse me, I will sue you for defamation."
"whispering sound."
Sans adjusted his mask: "You still know how you feel about her, but all the choices are in your hands."
"..."
Listening to sans' words, I fell into silence.
Indeed, as sans said, I do have a crush on Chen Mengting, but I don't dare to face her, I don't dare to face my feelings and respond to them.
The pain caused before is still fresh in my memory, and it still makes me extremely painful, just like it is in my genes. Even though I know she has a crush on me, I still dare not
.
The pain of the past is like a long knife, leaving a deep mark on my heart. Whenever I have tempting thoughts, this deep mark will continue to exude pain and remind me of that original pain.
Such unforgettable pain.
After being silent for a long time, I chose to take a deep breath and prepare to forcefully change the subject.
"Let's not mention this for now. Right now, I just want to know the truth."
I'll get off
He lowered his voice consciously and looked at Sans seriously.
"Okay, then I'll tell you slowly."
Sans smiled and took out a dozen letters from his arms. Before I could ask any questions, he took the lead and said, "You must have gotten the manuscript, right?"
"Um."
I nodded slowly.
"Then you should be able to understand where the problem lies, right?"
Sans asked softly.
"Yes, I know. The question arises as to whether Inspector Yang died or not."
I answered without thinking.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the eyes of hatred are already in your eyes, right?"
Sans continued to ask questions.
"Yes, and I already understand the power and usage of the Eye of Hatred."
My explanation made Sans suddenly nodded.
"You don't know that the Eye of Hatred can copy abilities, right?"
Before Sans finished speaking, I nodded my head again.
"I know. Please continue."
I made a please gesture to Sans.
"At that time, Inspector Yang copied an astonishing ability, which is that after his death, he can survive in the form of a soul, and he can survive for a month."
Sans whispered here, silently crossed his legs, took out a cigarette from his arms, and the moment he put it in his mouth, the cigarette spontaneously ignited.
"That means that the manuscript left here was created one month after Inspector Yang's death?"
I frowned and asked repeatedly.
"It's good, but specifically, it's not quite right."
Sans, who had just agreed with my idea, denied my idea: "Because in this, Inspector Yang can only be seen by ghosts and monsters, and he cannot touch the entity. In other words, he cannot even write."
"Then how did he manage to write the manuscript?"
I frowned subconsciously, confusion appearing on my cheeks.
"Have you forgotten Feng Linwan and his strong friend?"
Sans smiled and reminded me without hesitation.
"I see..."
At this moment, I slapped my thigh and suddenly realized.
"Inspector Yang, with the help of Feng Linwan, was fortunate enough to meet the strong man you met."
When Sans said this, he paused deliberately as if he was trying to sell something off: "The strong man extended his life and gave him a new body. But the price is that Inspector Yang will transform into a new body after death.
If you become nothing, your soul will dissipate."
"Price? What do you mean? Can you be more specific?"
I lowered my voice and became even more confused.
"More specifically..."
At this point, Sans took a puff of his cigarette: "Feng Linwan used his own soul to be destroyed after death and Inspector Yang's death to be destroyed as a price, and then used it to extend Inspector Yang's life for half a year."
"In half a year, Inspector Yang's body and soul will die together."
"And when Feng Lin dies, his soul will also die."
"And it is precisely because of this time overlap that Inspector Yang 'suspended his own death' that led to today's unreasonable situations happening everywhere."
Sans's series of explanations were thrown directly in my face.
The amount of information contained in these words was terrifying, and of course, it made me swallow my saliva subconsciously.
