Chapter 11: City B
I followed my mother to her residence, I saw that this was an old-fashioned building, my mother lived on the second floor of this building, the house was a normal two-bedroom apartment, although the light was not very good, but it was cleaned up by my mother.
My mother was very happy about my arrival, and kept bringing me food, asking this and that, but I didn't feel annoyed, and slowly told my mother. At this time, my mother suddenly stared at the necklace around my neck and asked, "Who gave you this necklace?" I paused for a moment, came back to my senses and said, "Well, this is a long story, what's wrong?" After saying that, I looked at my mother nervously, thinking that my mother would not see something.
My mother looked at the necklace I was carrying again, and said after a while: "It's nothing, don't take it blindly, I saw that your necklace is blue and purple, and I don't think it's very auspicious, and you see if this chain has faded, and you also have blue and purple on your neck, so I asked you, what kind of pigment is this, is it harmful to the body?" "After listening to my mother, I chuckled in my heart, blue and purple? Also around the neck? No, this chain was milky white at first, so what's going on? My mother looked at my face and asked, "What's wrong?" "I realized that I was acting too nervous, a little bit of a gaffe, and I must not let my mother know about this.
I adjusted my state and said, "It's nothing, I guess it's fading." I saw my mother look at me suspiciously, and I continued, "By the way, what are we going to eat at night, I'm hungry." My mother really swept away the expression just now, and said happily: "Wait for me to cook you a table of good dishes, and ensure that you love to eat, haha." With that, he walked into the kitchen. I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling almost exposed.
I walked into the bedroom, sat down in front of my mother's dresser, and looked at myself in the mirror. Ever since these things happened, I haven't looked in the mirror properly. Through the mirror, I saw familiar faces, and it made me more sure that the witch in my dream was me. I looked at my neck, and sure enough, just as my mother had just said, a dark purple color appeared on the place where I was wearing the [Blue Ghost Chain], as if I had been poisoned, and branches appeared, as if they were spreading around. However, the [Chain of Green Ghosts] is no longer milky white, but has some dark purple, which is very weird, which reminds me of the appearance of the green ghosts I saw in my dream that day, and the skin of the green ghosts is dark purple. What's going on? Is it so hard that I'm gradually being devoured by the [Chain of Green Ghosts]? At this time, I suddenly remembered that Kazui had told me that once you are recognized by the [Blue Ghost Chain] and wear it, you will gradually gain an incomparably powerful power inside, and if you can't control this power, you will be devoured. "Could it be that this is what Kazui has been repeatedly emphasizing to me that 'be kind'?" I said to myself, Kazui must know about the [Blue Ghost Chain] and it seems that I still have to find a chance to go back to that hut and ask Kazui in person.
Suddenly, I remembered the time when my father asked me about my disappearance, and the sudden violence and murderous intent that almost made me unable to control myself. Could that be the beginning of devouring? Could it be that my violence at that time was the inner strength of the [Chain of Green Ghosts]? I remember that at that time, this power only lasted for a few tens of seconds, and I almost couldn't control myself to hurt others, which shows how powerful the power of the [Blue Ghost Chain] is, if I am still difficult to control next time, I will continue to be devoured until it completely falls, at that time I may become a demon who kills people without blinking, and will hurt everyone, thinking of this I curled up in my chair in pain, I can't let myself become a devil, so how should I control it? By the way, the ring, I hurriedly stretched out my hand and looked at the [Witch's Ring] on the thumb of my right hand, "What is this ring for?" Maybe this ring can absorb the violent aura of the [Chain of Green Ghosts]? I thought to myself. Nothing has happened since the ring appeared on his hand for no apparent reason, and nothing has been found to be of any use except that he could not take it off. Thinking of this, I tried to take off the ring again, but as I had done the previous times, the ring grew a 'thorn'-like object that pierced into my flesh, and the pain made me dispel the idea.
I carefully took off the [Chain of Green Ghosts] and put it in my hand to observe it carefully, and when I got it in my hand, I found that the [Chain of Green Ghosts] not only showed a slight blue and purple color, but also the necklace itself began to exude a cold aura, and after touching the necklace, this cold aura would penetrate into the skin, making me shiver. I remember when I first came into contact with the [Chain of Green Ghosts] before, I didn't feel this way, but it was no different from ordinary necklaces, that is, this cold aura was emitted after the necklace turned blue? Thinking of this, I hurriedly reached out and touched my skin, which had turned blue and purple because of the [Chain of Green Ghosts]. As I expected, the skin was not warm at all, like the skin of a dead man, and I was scared into a cold sweat.
At this time, I thought of another possibility, whether the necklace needs to suck blood to regain its previous appearance, no longer emit blue and purple, just like a vampire, and needs to drink blood regularly to survive. So.... Thinking of this, I found a sharp thing and pricked my finger fiercely, only to see that the finger began to flow blood, I put the [Green Ghost Chain] in the bleeding place, [Green Ghost Chain] After absorbing the blood flowing from the finger, it only revealed a slight red, but the blue purple did not disappear, seeing this, I finally affirmed that the reason why the [Green Ghost Chain] turned blue and purple was because of the devouring of power, and it had nothing to do with blood. Just as I was thinking, I felt a tingling pain in my fingers, and I lowered my head to look for the source of the pain, and then I found that the stinging sensation began to come from the thumb of my right hand wearing the [Witch's Ring], and thorns grew out of the ring, piercing deeply into my flesh, like sucking blood, and like a person twisting in pain. I was stunned, doesn't this usually happen when I want to take off the ring? Now that I haven't touched this ring, how can such a strange thing happen to the ring? Then I saw that the ring began to gradually return to normal, and the pain gradually subsided until it disappeared. The strange thing is that the ring began to become a little different, and after careful observation, it was found that the ring began to become a little red, and a faint red appeared in the ring, which really seemed to be sucking blood. I could see God, and my intuition told me that this ring must have something to do with the green ghost as well.
"Yuna, it's time to eat." My mother's voice came from the kitchen, and I came back to my senses, gathered my thoughts, and walked out of the room. After dinner, my mom and I sat on the couch and watched TV, and a news story was on the TV that caught my attention. In the past six months, there have been continuous incidents of missing people in the city. Just yesterday, two more children went missing in the Long March community. The parents of the missing child called the police as soon as they found it, and after 24 hours of uninterrupted search, there was still no clue, but what was even more bizarre was that the surveillance video in the community was found through the patrol and arrest, and it was found that on the night before the crime, that is, two hours before the child's disappearance, an unknown man in black appeared, but the man disappeared in a flash, whether the man would be related to the child's disappearance, and whether he was the prisoner who disappeared in the city for half a year. At the end of the news, the reporter also said that the missing child is about 5-8 years old, so parents are asked not to let their children go out alone, and the police also promised to solve the case as soon as possible.
After reading the news, I was puzzled by the disappearance of people half a year ago, and a man in black appeared. Suddenly I remembered, half a year ago, wasn't that the beginning of the strange incident in X County? It seems that this is not a simple disappearance. The beginning of everything is like a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time.
