Chapter Twenty-Three: Seeing the Illusion

What I saw in the Octagon Mirror was the death of my loved ones, not the answer I was looking for.

"Is it possible to see whatever you want to see in the Octagon Mirror?"

"I've heard the elders say that what people usually see is what their hearts want to know the most, and there are usually hints in those images." Mo Xun explained.

I want to know more about the future, but what it shows on the screen is not, what does it mean to me?

"Don't think about it so much, let's have breakfast! By the way, Ye, since I came back from Tianjin, I have this extra on me. As he spoke, An Chen pulled open his clothes, revealing his collarbone.

Mo Xun frowned, as if he was recalling something, and shook his head and said, "I don't understand why an engraved golden text suddenly appeared on him?" ”

Several people looked at me in unison, waiting for my reply.

"Brother, Mom is gone, she left us, she died." Before I could speak, Ji Yue ran out of the house with her mobile phone in her bare feet, tears falling down.

An Chen stumbled in front of Ji Yue and asked tremblingly, "Death?" How is this possible? ”

Ji Yue threw herself into An Chen's arms and burst into tears. Mo Xun's gaze swept back and forth over me, as if he had seen through me.

I sighed lightly, this matter can't be hidden from An Chen forever, as a brother, I will tell him the truth and let him learn to accept it.

"Chen, didn't you ask me, where did the inscription on your collarbone come from? In Tianjin, you were caught in a fire, but it was your aunt who rescued you, and she passed on the identity of the inscription to you. ”

An Chen let go of Ji Yue and punched me in the face, "Do you think of me as a brother?" Why not stop her. ”

I got another punch in the left cheek.

"An Chen, what are you doing here?" The ghost spirit and Mo Xun stepped forward to hug An Chen, who was going to continue to beat me, and Ji Yue was so frightened that she froze in place.

"If I hadn't treated you as a brother, I wouldn't have climbed into the fire, look at the way you look now, are you worthy of the identity that your aunt passed on to you? If only you were going to figure out the meaning of the golden text, instead of spilling it here. "I hate that iron can't be made of steel, so I stepped forward and pushed An Chen.

"Her spirit is ruined, and you actually say that you are for my good?"

"Auntie's soul never stops fighting, and she sacrificed herself to save you just to change your fate."

"his fate, why do you all have to sacrifice yourselves to save me, have you considered my feelings?" An Chen cried bitterly and yelled, as if he had shouted out everything that had been suppressed in his heart these days.

"Because we treat you as a brother, that's why we sacrifice ourselves to save you. Now we don't even know what kind of enemy we are facing, so if you really have time, we can go back and deal with my aunt's funeral. "My roar doubled, drowning out An Chen's voice.

He stared at me intently, calmed down, and said slowly: "You wait for me to come back, Yueyue, get dressed, let's go." ”

I nodded firmly, because I knew that An Chen was sensible, and he would figure it out, but after all, it had been ten days since he came back from Tianjin, why did Ji Yue only receive the news of her aunt's death? Could it be that someone in their family deliberately concealed it?

The ghost spirit and Mo Xun went to help Ji Yue pack her things, and An Chen had something to say to me alone.

We walked to my room and closed the door before he asked, "Ye, the fire in the painting is my mother-in-law's prophecy, and I should die in the fire." ”

"Aunt and Xu Jialin's mother are both excellent spirit girls, we saw the numbers on Nalan's coffin before, these clues are all news brought by your mother, this is the day when the war broke out between humans and resentful spirits." I calmly talked about what I knew.

"Is it painful for her to go?" An Chen raised his head, trying to keep his tears from falling.

"She wants you to stay alive and fight with me." I don't know how to comfort him, and I can only avenge my aunt by fighting the spirits.

"I know, there are some things that are inconvenient to say just now, because I don't believe Mo Xun."

In fact, I know all these in my heart, after all, Mo Xun didn't really integrate into us, she hid too much, and some of them she knew but didn't tell us, so she took a lot of detours.

"An Chen, Ji Yue has already packed up." The ghost pushed open the door to remind An Chen.

An Chen nodded at me, without saying a word, he passed by the ghost spirit but was pulled by the ghost, the ghost spirit stood on tiptoe and kissed An Chen lightly on the face, like a dragonfly dotting water.

"Go and get back." After saying that, the ghost turned and left.

"Brother, maybe you don't have to worry about Xu Jialin, come back early, she and I are waiting for you." I patted An Chen, who was stunned in place.

Mo Xun also found a reason to leave with their brother and sister, and the originally lively house was left with me and the ghost.

"Brother, why don't you go with An Chen to mourn your aunt." The ghost was playing with the Octagon compass that Mo Xun had given me.

"Because I have more important things to do." I gestured to the object in her hand.

"You didn't mention the picture you saw in the Octagon Illusion Mirror just now, is it because Mo Xun didn't say it."

I nodded, "An Chen's mother told me not to trust the people of the Criminal Law Family before she died, and Mo Xun told me before that she was a member of the Criminal Law Family. In addition to this, my aunt also asked me to save our mother. "I was going to find some more clues and tell her again, so as not to make her happy, but now I need the help of the ghosts, so I have to tell her in advance.

Sure enough, the ghost listened to my words and immediately jumped up from his seat and grabbed me excitedly, "You mean Mom is still alive?" ”

"You be quiet, we are so close, I can hear it, so loud your ears are deafening." I stuck out my index finger and plucked out my ear, deliberately to whet her appetite.

"Brother, hurry up and tell me everything you know, okay?" The ghost pouted, took my hand, swayed from side to side, and coquettishly played to me.

"I'm afraid of you, I'm not sure, but I saw the death of my grandfather, grandmother, father, and a little girl in the Octagon Illusion Mirror, and it stands to reason that I should also see the death picture of my mother, but there is nothing behind it, plus An Chen's mother's words, so I guess my mother is still alive." I told the spirits everything I knew.

"It seems to make sense, but she hasn't appeared for so many years." The ghost let out a long sigh and sat down disappointed.

"Since I was asked to save her, it means that she is trapped." I took the ghost's hand and looked at her seriously, "Ling'er, brother knows that it is very painful to recall the process of the death of a loved one, but I must know now, so you have to answer my question seriously." ”

I know that what I see in the Octagon Mirror may not be absolutely correct, but what the ghosts say must be true.
