Chapter 53: Inside the Glass...
... I... Liulixi, a student in Class D of Shaojian Middle School. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
... It's now 11 o'clock in the evening of June 15th, and under some intricate and treacherous unexpected connection, I have become the "lily of the valley puppet" who spreads the death letter in everyone's mouth... That's the guy I call "K"...
――What should I do?
-- or what should I do to get back to the way it was...
I walked out of the subway station and headed home, taking the glass out of my pocket and looking at it... That's right, it's the red glass I'm holding, and Hegu once took this piece of glass, the size of a square palm, and I've had it in my pocket since the moment I became a "lily of the valley puppet".
"If you don't look like that, you won't be able to go home..."
That's what He Gu said at the time, and now as a "lily of the valley puppet", I understand why I want to look at this piece of glass.
Seeing through the glass is really not the same thing as seeing with the naked eye, and I can't imagine it if I didn't practice it myself...
What you see in the glass is a kind of "half afterimage".
At first I didn't understand what was going on, but the first time I saw it, I thought it was something wrong with my eyes, because... The scene that catches your eye is only half of it.
Pedestrians on the road, cars, pets with walkers-by, strollers with babies, balloons flying in the sky with children... All this is only "half of the afterimage", and the other half, like the feeling of being burned, leaves the scorching traces after the ashes are extinguished, as if a cigarette is burned half off and then extinguished.
Some passers-by only have the upper body, some only have the lower body, and the lost parts fly out of the fracture with charred black flying flocculents, or debris, and there are things that are messily tangled together at the fracture... They travel exactly the same thing as they do in the naked world... Eating, making phone calls, chatting, riding in the car... It was as if the other extreme of the real world was reflected, and it felt like a pair of giant hands struck a match in the sky above me, burning everything "just right" to the half-burn.
The world in the glass is a dark lead color, you can't tell the difference between the sky and the ground, the top and bottom are sticky all around, and the disgusting thing is that it feels like the sky and the ground are mixed with dark red things, and those things seem to be wriggling, one by one... And it feels like a lot of it, like a translucent film wrapped in a lot of looming... I didn't want to describe it, but I quickly pulled the glass out of front of my eyes, and I didn't have the courage to look any further, and my nerves, which had already collapsed, were destroyed by the limit. After a while, I covered my mouth and nose and forcibly swallowed back the gastric juice in my throat, and hurriedly took out a bottle of water from my schoolbag and drank it all in one go.
Half of the sight was burned and the space was surrounded by countless disgusting things... It's gloomy and cloudy, and you can smell the weird rancid stench inside just by looking at it... What exactly is this place?
If I wasn't through the glass, but here... I can't even think about it, it's more "dead" and suffocating.
- Is this what "hell" looks like? I don't know, but I think the horrible sight in the glass is like hell.
If there are ten kinds of pictures in the world that human beings cannot bear, then I think that "penetration" may be one of them, and the other should be everything I see through the red glass.
I can bear it, probably because I've become a "lily of the valley puppet", I think so.
In fact, ten years ago, Hegu looked at the words of "going home" with glass is a lie, and the "lily of the valley puppet" looked at this piece of red glass for only one purpose - to open the window for the evil spirit.
In all the decaying scenes, there will be an intact window closed, and only through the comparison of the glass can the window be found in reality, and then it will be opened...
With intense exhalation and fear, I gradually began to grasp the current situation.
I knew that I was a "lily of the valley puppet", and I also knew something about "Tou", and I even knew where "Tou" was, and at the same time, I gradually understood one of the most fatal links, and the one that I was most concerned about so far.
Why did the "lily of the valley puppet" write death letters to others in a way that replaced death? Why do the "lily of the valley puppets" use death to prolong their lives?
I always thought that the "lily of the valley puppet" was the originator of the terrifying curse and had a powerful ability to kill, but after I became a "lily of the valley puppet", I found that the situation here was also terrible to the limit.
There is only one reason, if this is not done, the "lily of the valley puppet" will throw itself into the world of glass...
Only by using "constant death" to continue to live in this normal world, there is no doubt that no one will want to go to that inside, if you have seen that scene... I'd rather die straight away.
Unfortunately, the "lily of the valley puppet" could not end its life on its own, unless...
This question is still a question to this day, and it is precisely because I don't understand how Uncle crowned the "lily of the valley puppet" on my head.
I returned home exhausted.
Something strange happened.
There is no father in the family, "no" - meaning never.
My father's room was empty, not even his bed and writing desk existed, everything he had ever used was gone, except for everything in my room, the signs of "there was never a father" appeared to me, I searched all the rooms, all the facts were saying that "I am the only one here", almost in madness, I was confused... Tears welled up in a hurry...
I can't live without my father, he is the only person I have left and love, when I lost my mother, the only person I can see without any impurities but all the loving eyes, only in the eyes of my father, because of my "lifelong defects", people who take advantage of the weakness may take advantage of it and bring me fatal injuries, so the only person I believe in in this world is my father.
But now, why did he disappear?
――Is it because I became a "lily of the valley puppet"?
Undoubtedly, the answer points to this reason.
I didn't believe myself, so I went back to each room and searched for it, but the result was still the same, even the window in my father's room, which should have hung dark green curtains, was empty, and I could see the crescent moon and the shadows of the trees like cat's claws outside the window.
I hurriedly went back to the couch and sat down, when the glass sent a "warning"-
I quite understand what that means, it's a kind of "reminder" to go kill someone...
- How is that possible?
I didn't want to see any more classmates die...
But—
I also don't want to be thrown into "that"... I definitely don't want to, in that world, I have feelings far beyond words like "crazy" and "death", which are "experiences" that I can't describe at all.
――What should I do?
Now my father is gone... In the violent trembling like crazy, the mobile phone "whined" and beeped.
On the display, the incoming call is Momoi's name.
(The weather is too hot, friends who read books remember to drink more water to keep cool, I am still trying to move, and I will return to you immediately after moving.) )
