The sky was overcast, the air was dreary and humid, and thick clouds stretched to the horizon, and it seemed that a heavy rain would fall for a long time.

A damselfly landed on a rusty iron gate, folded its blue wings, and stood upright on its back, and although it looked like a dragonfly, its flying skills were too far off, and it was likely to be shot down by raindrops.

The iron gate was connected to the old brick wall, which was desolate and desolate, and a piece of tin foil for the chocolate was pushed by the wind and hit the little boy's leg.

The little boy was lying in front of the iron gate, his hair was thin and soft, his cheeks were deep, he was so thin that he was not human-shaped, his eyes were only open and slit, he looked very weak, I don't know whether he was dead or alive, he was wearing a wide cotton hospital gown, light blue vertical stripes on a white background, and a square tree badge was embroidered on his chest, and the words "GU47" were embroidered under the badge.

Gu Qi was inside the iron gate, looked down at the child outside the door, and asked the white-clothed woman with his hair next to him, "This is a mapping illusion, right?" Are you reading my memories this way? ”

Concubine Zhen just looked at the little boy motionlessly, and did not respond to Gu Qi, there was no difference from ordinary fierce spirits.

Gu Qi thought about it, walked to the wall, and stretched out his fingers to scrape the cement layer in the brick joint.

There was no ash in between his fingernails, and he was unable to interact with the scene, either because his consciousness didn't think he belonged here and couldn't destroy it, or maybe it wasn't really a mapping illusion.

Gu Qi was inclined to the latter, the reason was that everyone in the illusion was a character, whether they were playing themselves or someone else, and he and Concubine Zhen were not characters here, just ordinary observers.

Perhaps this could be called memory mapping.

This place is the starting point of Gu Qi's memory, he still remembers this heavy rain, and remembers many things that happened after that, but he hasn't seen this scene for too long, and he feels a little strange.

…………

The first drop of rain hit the tip of his nose, and the fright made his squinted eyes widen a little, the raindrops were very icy, and a bright lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and the thunder was like a starting gun, making more raindrops rush to the earth, and the whole world was drowned out by the sound of heavy rain, and only the deafening thunder could shuttle through it.

The rain continued to hit his face, and when he breathed, he choked into the trachea, and the little boy coughed with the greatest strength, but his body only trembled slightly, he had almost no muscle and no fat, real skin and bones, and even coughing was a very difficult thing.

The water was still pouring into his nose, and God seemed to be trying his best to kill the little boy, but unfortunately he failed, and the iron gate was pulled open, and the little boy on the ground was picked up with both hands, and he was held in his arms, and ran back to the children's welfare home.

"What age is this, and there is such a thing, alas...... Blame the poor one, is there any salvation? The dean was a chubby middle-aged woman, looking at the little boy who was constantly twitching, and saying words of pity, but there was not much pity in her eyes.

She's seen this happen too much.

"If you take it to the prefectural hospital...... said the childcare worker who found it and brought the boy back.

The dean shook his head: "Send it to the warm house, maybe you can survive if it's warm." ”

The nursery man put him in the conservatory, the baby's room, which was actually a small room that looked like a tool room, with several beds and lamps on the beds, and the heating method was the same as the old-fashioned hatchery room of a chicken farm.

The little boy was put into the incubator, like a fish tank, like an uncovered coffin, his eyes were blindfolded, and then the heating lamp was turned on, and his body warmed up in a few moments.

However, the rain in his lungs was not drained, and the little boy was still coughing, his throat was broken, and blood was coughing up, but he did survive.

"Name? Didn't he have GU47 written on his clothes? It's called Ancient ...... GU fourth tone, add another seven, and it's okay to take care of seven. A few days later, the dean gave the boy an official name.

…………

"I don't know why, I can see the soul from the beginning, there is no so-called awakening opportunity, I just don't know if I have the ability at that time, and it is a matter of time to know that I can release the chain." Gu Qi didn't care if the fierce spirit beside him could hear it, and explained to himself.

The little boy has been in the orphanage for a whole year, he is not very tall, he is still very thin, but he is able to walk normally.

Two parents with a child will feel tired, there are a lot of children in the welfare home, the nursery staff can not manage, basically are free-range, ninety percent are bear children, the younger ones are easier to be adopted, and the three or four-year-old children of the same age as the little boy rarely stay here for more than a month, the little boy because of physical reasons, has not been adopted.

As a result, he became the target of bullying by the older bears, and coupled with the fear of spirits, a withdrawn personality has appeared since then.

"What I can see, others can't see, that's what scares me the most, at the beginning, when I saw the nursery worker walking in front of me through the body of the spirit, I was so scared that I peed on my pants and cried every day, but then I found out that the soul would not come to hurt me, so I was no longer afraid of them, but I was still afraid of the reason for the existence of the soul, if there was a prayer teacher who came to tell me at that time that the soul is just a part of the consciousness that remains in the world after death, I think my life in the welfare home would be much better." I don't know if it's because I'm in an illusion, or because it's a fierce spirit next to me, Gu Qi has more words than usual.

The stone hit the little boy's forehead, it didn't bleed, but it hurt, the little boy couldn't fight back, he couldn't catch up with the older children, he couldn't throw the stone, he couldn't understand why those people were bullying him, why they laughed so happily when they hit themselves with stones.

Later he found the answer in books, and Mark-Twain told him, "Of all animals, only man is cruel." They are the only animals that base their pleasure on creating pain. ”

If this continues, he will develop a hatred of humans and even develop a sociopathy, but at the age of four, things will take a turn for the better.

After two years in the orphanage, the boy's physical condition has improved significantly, but his personality has become more withdrawn and introverted, and he often does not speak a word for a month, and the most frequent place to stay is behind the door of the dormitory or by the stove in the kitchen.

That day, the nursery worker brought him to a young couple.

"Little friend, your name is Gu Qi, right? Want to be part of our family? You can have a sister who is only a year younger than you. The man squatted down, lifted his glasses, and smiled innocently.

The little boy didn't speak, but looked up at the nursery.

That afternoon, he went to his home and saw his sister, who was only three years old.

…………

"She cried all the time, whether in the nanny's arms or on the soft bed, crying all the time, very noisy." Gu Qi and the fierce spirit came to his former home.

The little girl was wearing two pigtails, crying loudly, her voice was already hoarse, tears, snot, and saliva were all over her face, she was three years old, but she did not speak.

"Because of her crying, I came to this house, and her parents, that is, my adoptive parents, did not know the reason for her crying, thought that she was too lonely, and wanted to add a younger brother or sister to her, but unfortunately they could no longer have children, so they went to the children's welfare home and adopted me." Gu Qi looked at the couple's long-lost faces, and his eyes were a little moist.

The adoptive father started his own small business, in the words of the time, he was called self-employed, and now few people use this title, and the family is not short of money, but money cannot stop the little girl's crying.

"At first, I just wanted to escape, because her crying was so harsh, she could only stop for a while after she fell asleep after crying, and she would cry again when she woke up, which was not like a home, but like a torture cell, specially designed to torture people." Gu Qi looked around at the furniture in the bedroom, each one was very nostalgic.

There are countless plush toys on the bed, bicycles, music boxes, children's pianos on the floor, rattles, rattles, and dolls on the bedside table, all new but dusty.

"Later, I found out that the reason why she cried was the same as mine, because she could see the soul, and in addition to being afraid, there was also an extra layer of worry, so she cried so much, after all, the people who passed through the soul were her parents, and I didn't care about those people in the welfare home, so I didn't cry as much as she did, and from then on, I suddenly found the feeling of home, because she was the same as me, and different from others, and I told her that those who others can't see are not terrible, but what is terrible is people." Gu Qi looked at the little boy lying on the side of the bed and the little girl sitting on the bed.

The little girl stopped crying, and looked at the little boy with wide-open puffy eyes, and listened to him point to the spirit in the corner, a child who rarely spoke, and hardly talked to others, and the words that came out were inevitably reversed, but she understood ignorantly.

The daughter stopped crying and was amused by her parents, and she became acquainted with the little boy at an astonishing rate, for reasons only they knew.

"At first she couldn't speak, she couldn't speak clearly, but she could understand everything I said, and when she learned to speak, we agreed not to tell anyone our secrets, and from then on, we stuck together wherever we went, and the two years from the age of four to six were the happiest years of my life." Gu Qi originally had a voice of emotional fluctuations, and regained his calm.

The little boy overcame his fear of the spirit, and even dared to put his hand into the spirit's body, but the little girl was always afraid, and sometimes when she met her head-on, she would immediately hide to the side, never in contact with the spirit.

"When I was six years old, everything changed, that home no longer existed, I saw the human chain of prison, and I saw my master." Gu Qi said, turned his head to look at Concubine Zhen and said, "Thank you for letting me review this time, now please let me return to reality, staying in a crowded place for too long will be problematic, next time, you can pull me into the illusion while I sleep." ”
