Chapter 662: Shadow
The man seemed to sense her intention to escape, but he didn't rush to stop her, but stood on the spot and wrapped his arms around his chest, "If you want to die, jump down." ā
"Do you think I'm afraid?"
"Of course you're afraid."
The man's eyes were pierced with coldness, "Your eyes don't look like someone who has the guts to die." ā
"......" Yan He was blocked by his eyes, she stopped talking, and then grinded her teeth fiercely, "Don't look down on people!" ā
The man took a step forward, grabbed her wrist suddenly, and before she could struggle, he suddenly retreated her downward, and half of Yan He's body was suspended outside, and he was so frightened that he lost his face.
"Don't you want to die?" The man said coldly, "But whether you can die or not, I have the final say." ā
"You true lunatic!"
Yan He looked at the endless abyss below, the cold wind that surged up woke her consciousness a little, her wrist hurt, it was because of the pain that she could feel alive more clearly, she laughed out loud for a while, "I think you don't dare to let me die, right?" ā
The man paused.
"What? Don't you refute my words? You're going to be bothered if I die, aren't you? If you fail to complete your mission, will you be punished, am I not wrong? ā
The man's strength increased, and he suddenly pulled her up.
"Wouldn't it have been better to do it sooner? What I hate most is when people threaten me, if you want to complete your mission, why don't we take what we need and be happy? ā
Yan He's hand was on his shoulder and patted.
"Who told you to come to me?" She lowered her voice.
The man glanced sideways, his inquiring gaze fell on himself, and his smiling expression made Yan He's heart rise with anger, and he slowly slapped Yan He's hand away, "You also think too highly of yourself." What I want is not you, but your life, as long as you are guaranteed to live, it doesn't matter if you are crippled or crazy now, do you want to try? ā
Yan He's body stiffened, and her instinct told herself that the person in front of her was not joking, and he could easily break her limbs.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Looks like you've figured it out." The man took the mirror out of his hand and held it up in front of her, "Show you something, you will definitely be interested." ā
Yan He looked towards that place unconsciously, and saw a scene reflected in the mirror, which should be a small mountain villa, and in the courtyard that seemed to be hidden, there was a child about her age, and she was bending down to pick up the firewood.
The moment she looked up.
Yan He felt that his breath was stagnant.
She had never experienced anything so appalling that it was even more daylight when it happened to her.
Yan He took three steps back, stumbling and almost stumbling again
Dropped.
"This ...... That's impossible...... Why does this girl look the same as me?! ā
The man was pleased with her reaction, put the mirror away, and said, "I'll just say it, you'll be interested." But it's not right for me to tell you about this matter, and give you two choices, do you follow me or act like you don't know anything? ā
Yan He chose the former without hesitation.
She never thought that there were people in this world who were exactly like her, it was not as simple as looking alike, but from head to toe, except for the difference in service, they were simply carved out of the same mold.
"She's mine... Sister? Yan He couldn't stop asking as he left.
The man chuckled at her questioning, and then stopped, "Master, I've brought her back." ā
He was talking to a wall.
Yan He looked around and saw that the lines on the wall had changed slightly.
It cracked a slit, as if it was squeezing its features out.
The hideous face that was torn out of the wall made Yan He take a few steps back in fear.
Yan He...... Has it grown this big? The gap opened her mouth to speak, Yan He was pushed in front of the man forcefully, she suppressed the panic in her heart, and stood there, "You...... Know me? ā
"Of course I know you. Your birth was arranged by me, and according to orthodoxy, I also gave you a family and a worry-free life, but why did you run away from home? But what are you dissatisfied with my arrangement? ā
Yan He was dumbfounded: "What did you say?" ā
"Come out." The wall suddenly shouted sternly.
A person came out of the shadows, Yan He was stunned when he saw it clearly, and his lips trembled, "Father? ā
The man who came out was the one she had been hiding from, and the fact that he suddenly appeared here really frightened her.
Her father hung his head, looked at her with a heavy face, and then waved against the wall, "Master." ā
Such a respectful appearance is the only time I have ever seen it in my life.
But now she seemed to be able to sort out all the information so far, and pointed to her father incredibly, "You... Could it all be fake? You're not my father? ā
Her father's eyes widened, and she withdrew her fingers in fright.
"Of course he's your father." The man on the wall was in good shape and said, "But I can't say that I am your father, because I borrowed the fetus in his wife's womb and her life to conceive you, and in another sense, I am also your father." ā
Yan He froze in place.
"You... How is this possible? What nonsense are you talking about! Yan He stepped back angrily, looked at his father, who was speechless, and shouted, "What nonsense is this strange person talking about?!" Father, you speak! ā
She looked desperately at the silent nothing
Words' father.
"Even if you don't admit it, it's fine, but without me, you are a lonely soul in the world, whether you accept it or not, this is an established fact."
The wall didn't take her disrespectful attitude to heart, but sneered and said to her father, "I chose to give this child to you, but you taught her to be such an unruly child, Chifeng, I am quite disappointed in you." ā
Her haughty father trembled and fell to his knees.
"The death of your wife is completely uncontrollable, and I can understand your resentment against me, but this is not a reason for you to let this child go." The wall monster's voice suddenly sharpened, "Do you know how precious this child is to us! ā
Again, the same rhetoric, but neither her father nor the strange people she met, all of them valued her life with great importance, but none of them cared about what she was thinking.
"So what's your reasoning?"
"IāI'm scared of her!" The father trembled and opened his mouth suddenly. He raised his head and glanced at the silent Yan He, "What I'm afraid of is nothing else, it's this child himself...... I can't care about her with peace of mind, I can't talk to her normally, master! I have lost enough, forgive me my sins! ā
Every word here fell on her heart like a soldering iron.
Yan He felt that her heart was already numb with pain, and when he said these words, she suddenly understood the real reason why she had never been able to get close to her father, who faced herself every day with hatred and fear.
But she didn't know anything, and thought that she had done something wrong, which provoked her father to keep a distance from her, and at that time her aunt would always come to visit her and hold her crying in her arms.
She turned her back and silently wiped away her tears.
"I see, father, this is the last time I call you."
There was still a choked voice in her tone, but she resolutely cut off her hair, she raised her hand and threw her hair in front of him, looked at her father's panicked expression and smiled sadly, "Today, the father-daughter relationship between you and me is broken like this." ā
After speaking, she faced the figure on the wall, raised the dagger against her throat and said, "The person you want is me, no matter what happens, this person is still a close relative with me, I have broken off with him today, and it has nothing to do with him, so if you have anything, just come to me." ā
"He'er?"
"Shut up! I don't want to hear anything right now. Yan He sharply stopped what he was going to say next, and she continued to stiffen her neck and ask, "I still have a lot to ask you, you must have come to me, you are not so kind to solve our family conflicts, right?" ā
The figure in the wall laughed slightly, "It seems that I still underestimated you, it's okay, Chifeng, you go down." ā
Her father staggered to his feet, stunned
looked at Yan He, and under the man's threatening eyes, he walked out in despair.
At the moment when the stone door behind her turned around, her heart seemed to have put down a huge stone, but at the same time, she was filled with grievances, sourness, and indescribable feelings, and she slowly threw the dagger to the ground, trying not to let herself cry out loud.
"What? Do you regret staying? ā
"I said I would do it." Yan He stubbornly raised his eyes, "I don't need anyone, and I don't need any support, I can live a good life alone." ā
"Don't worry, you are my daughter, how could I let you suffer such a grievance?"
"You should have more than one daughter like me, right?" Yan He in one sentence.
The figure on the wall smiled whimsily, "Looks like you already know." ā
"It was the subordinate who told her, and I hope the master will punish her." The man didn't hide it in the slightest.
"It's not enough for such a trivial matter." "But it's not good for my daughter to misunderstand, don't worry, my daughter is only you." ā
"But......" Yan He was surprised.
"It's natural that the child looks the same as you, because you're a human being, but you're more special because you're her shadow."
The words of the human form were not shocked, but they set off a thousand waves in Yan He's heart.
She thought that they were lost twin sisters, and she also thought that they were puppets that were made, but after thinking about it, she didn't expect that the truth was actually like this!
She was the shadow of that child!
