Chapter 14: Witnesses
Due to the successive strange dreams, my mental state has been bad lately. So I didn't go to the Long March community to look for Mu Zichen in the evening, as he said, at a certain time, he would come and tell me everything I wanted to know. I reorganized my dreams and had a general understanding of what was happening in the blank hours, and the next thing I did was to find a way to leave for a while and return to the house on the mountain, find Kazui, and ask him if he could think of anything related to me through these things, because my intuition told me that Kazui must be hiding something.
My mother came back from work at nine o'clock in the evening, and it was close to eleven o'clock after dinner. After dinner, I was sitting on the couch rummaging through the TV channels, and my mother thought it strange and asked, "Which show do you want to watch?" I stared at the TV screen and said lazily, "I don't want to see anything, I'm just looking to see if there is any update on the news about missing children, and after the news report a few days ago, there is no more news." My mother sat on the sofa next to her and laughed, "It's rare, why do you suddenly care about national affairs." ”
"What's the matter, I just think that so many children have been missing, and they have not caught the murderer for half a month, it's really a big deal."
"That's right, but I heard from my colleagues in our company today that there are actually several people in their community who have seen the murderer, but the matter is too unbelievable, and they won't believe it when they tell the patrol, so they didn't say anything."
I was stunned and asked, "Colleague?" Still seen them all? Where does she live? My mother then said: "Long March Community." I chuckled in my heart, and then asked: "No, she fooled you, and she also saw the murderer's appearance, didn't you say it on the news, I saw a suspect in black clothes through the surveillance." My mother frowned and said, "The news said that it was a suspect, and it was not determined that it was the murderer, but my colleague said that she and several people in the same community saw the murderer." I asked, confused, "No, what is there that would make them think that no one would believe them even if they told the patrol?" ”
My mother looked at me, leaned in front of me, and said mysteriously: "I said don't be scared, when she finished talking to me, I was scared enough." I paused for a moment, then nodded. Mom said: "She told me that she heard a scream in the community that night, it was almost ten o'clock, and there was no one in the community, when she was on the balcony to collect clothes, she was startled after hearing the sound, she vaguely felt that the sound must be wrong, and it was the voice of a child, but her family lived on the top floor, there was no way to rush over at the first time, and she was afraid of any danger, and then she walked into the living room, dialed the duty room of the community security guard, after the call, she returned to the balcony, But after waiting for a while, I didn't see the figure of the community security guard, but at this time, I saw a figure on the side of the activity equipment in the community, and the figure was facing her direction, she saw a child lying next to the figure, but the strange thing was that this person actually had no shadow, and then suddenly the figure seemed to notice something, raised his head and looked in the direction of her house, so frightened that she quickly hid, when she secretly observed this person, she found that this person had a pair of blood-red eyes, and pale skin, Like a dead man, I saw the man flash and disappear with the child. Later, there was another incident of missing children in the community, but this time it was different from just now, this time the security guards of the community heard the screams, and after calling the police, the patrol also found the suspect according to the surveillance. It's just that these are two things, but they are regarded as one thing by the police. Later, she said that she overheard the crowd in the community talking about it, and she realized that she was not the only one who saw it. Speaking of this, my mother paused and took a sip of water, I listened to my mind full of questions, but I didn't want to interrupt my mother, so my mother continued: "She later asked the security guard about this, but she only asked if she heard her call to the security room that night, and the strange thing is that everyone in the security department told her that she did not receive a call from the resident that night, and at the time she said, she did not hear any screams at all, and there were no suspicious characters in the surveillance." After hearing this, she said that she was trembling with fright, and without asking any more questions, she went straight home. Later, because of the fright of this incident, he became seriously ill. After speaking, my mother breathed a long sigh of relief, and it seemed that she was too involved in talking and scared herself. I also broke out in a cold sweat after listening to it, but the questions were more than frightened. I asked, "When you were talking about it just now, she said that she called the security department at the time, which means that she got through, right?" The old mother said: "Yes, she said that she obviously got through, and someone else picked it up, and said that she would go and see it immediately." But when I asked later, no one in the security department received this call, so what was going on with her call. That's the scariest part. ”
After listening to my mother's relay, I fell into deep thought. The man with blood-red eyes and pale skin must also be a vampire. As for the question of the absence of a shadow, I looked down at my feet, and my shadow was at my feet. I tried to recall that I had seen Mu Zichen before, as if he also had a shadow, as for whether there was a shadow of He Yi, I really didn't notice, but my mother's colleague said that the person had blood-red eyes and pale skin, so I always had a feeling that that person was He Yi? But then I overturned this conjecture, after all, X County is very far away from City B, and I have been in contact with this person, and I always feel that he is not a bad person, and he should not do such a thing.
My mother looked at me and said, "Scary, she told me even more scary." I didn't say anything, my mind still thinking about what I had just said. , Mom continued: "This place in the Long March Community is really unlucky, don't go over there when it's okay." I nodded.
There was no word that night. The next day, I thought about it, but I still thought that I would go to the Long March community at night to see if I could meet Mu Zichen, because my intuition told me that he would answer my questions. In the afternoon, I was drowsy in front of the TV when I was awakened by a knock on the door. I shouted to the door, 'Who?' and there was no one answering, but the knocking continued. I reluctantly stood up and walked to the door, opened the door, I was stunned to find that the person outside the door was actually Mu Zichen, he walked into the house with a big grin, and said, "So surprised, isn't it?" I said, "I didn't let you in!" Mu Zichen smiled and continued: "Then I can retreat to the door now, right?" "I was completely speechless. He rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, how did you find my family?" As soon as the words fell, Mu Zichen pointed to the [Green Ghost Chain] around my neck, "I can find its breath with my eyes closed." I groaned, not knowing what to say or how to introduce the topic I asked him to answer. Mu Zichen looked east and west, as if he had seen something new. After a while, when he saw that I didn't speak, he smiled sarcastically and said, "Don't you want to ask me what it is?" Or I don't know where to start. "Of course I want to ask you questions, I have countless questions that I want to solve." I said angrily. Mu Zichen looked at me, turned around and sat on the sofa, and replied lazily: "Ask, I'll try my best to answer what I can, otherwise I won't come to you." It's a brief time between the two of us, and when you wake up one day, it won't be anymore. In the end, a sad look flashed on Mu Zichen's face for a moment, but this expression was fleeting, and then it returned to a lazy expression.
I didn't ask him any more about what he said, and the first thing to do now was to solve these doubts in my mind. I was just about to speak, but Mu Zichen spoke first: "You are too grinding, or let me give you a start, what do you recall now, you can start with these." Time is there, you can say slowly. I nodded and gave him a grateful look. The dreams he dreamed after he just brought the [Chain of Green Ghosts], as well as the dreams he had after returning home and coming to City B, all told Mu Zichen one by one, he first frowned after listening to it, and after a long time, he said: "The [Chain of Green Ghosts] was indeed created by you, but it can't be completed by your own strength, but I did see that you created it, and hundreds of years ago you were a white witch and had no dark power, but you used the dark power in your body to create the [Green Ghost Chain], Therefore, after you first brought the [Chain of Green Ghosts], a little bit of the memory of hundreds of years ago was revived. This also proves that you have been wearing it on yourself since you created the [Blue Ghost Chain], but how did it fall into the hands of others? I looked at Mu Zichen blankly, and he continued: "I'll put this aside for a while, and I'll think about it later, and you said that you dreamed of your former self and repeatedly told you to be kind, this sentence is a warning to your unknown power, but maybe you think too much, it's just that your experience for a while has caused excessive tension to make you dream of the hint of yourself in your heart." "Then a few days ago, I dreamed that my former self was playing the wheel of fortune with myself, and I thought about it too much?" I asked.
Mu Zichen was obviously dissatisfied with me interrupting his thinking halfway, he frowned, but his expression was very serious: "This dream, I guess it may be a harbinger. To tell you the truth, this dream is a great omen, you just told me that you and your former self will end up sad, and your self in the last five years of the dream told you that everything is doomed. So it is implied that there will be a big change in the end, and the result is that you will die, or be completely consumed by the dark forces. But I think the latter is the majority. "When I heard this, it felt dark. I sighed helplessly and said, "In that case, it's better to kill me now or destroy the [Blue Ghost Chain] now." Mu Zichen then said: "How can it be as simple as you think, have you forgotten, you are a vampire, you are already a dead person, but you can recover as an adult only by bringing the [Chain of Green Ghosts], and none of us can destroy the [Chain of Green Ghosts], what you can do is to try to change all this, in the end, it is just an omen, and the real outcome can be changed by yourself, but this also shows a problem, that is, you are gradually becoming stronger." ”
I raised my head and glanced at Mu Zichen, he should have guessed the question I wanted to ask, raised his finger and pointed at my neck, and said, "Do you see the skin on your neck, this is the result of absorbing the inner power of the [Blue Ghost Chain] and reversing it." And you can already dream prophetic dreams, indicating that the power should be very strong. I touched the purple skin on my neck and asked, "Then what should I do, I can't let it go back, so that sooner or later one day I will turn into a demon" Mu Zichen didn't answer on the side, frowning, with a serious face. At this time, I suddenly remembered that my mother told me about what happened to her colleague last night, I turned to look at Mu Zichen, and told the narrative of last night again, who knew that Mu Zichen's face changed greatly after listening to it. He asked, "Who was your first feeling?" I paused for a moment and said, "And Yi... But I thought about him later..."Before the words were finished, Mu Zichen asked, "Who is He Yi?" "Then I told Mu Zichen what happened to me, as well as what happened to He Yi and what he said. After Mu Zichen listened, he didn't speak again. I looked at him quietly, and after a while, Mu Zichen exhaled deeply and said, "I think your intuition is right, if it's really him, then all this is clear now." He designed a game, and you seem to be on the outside, but you're already in the game. "I'm confused, is all this really designed by Heyi?
I just wanted to open my mouth and continue to ask, Mu Zichen's face changed and said, "I have to go, I feel that something bad is going to happen, next time if it is possible, I will come to you again." I nodded, and he continued: "You must control your temper, the power you have absorbed now is enough to destroy this community, the stronger the power, the more perseverance is needed to restrain it, you can do it yourself." After speaking, Mu Zichen left.
I sat back on the sofa and sorted out what Mu Zichen said to me. I felt like I needed to go to the house at the beginning of the story and meet Kazu. In the evening, I watched TV as usual, looking for information about the missing children, and this afternoon I actually forgot to ask Mu Zichen what happened to the missing children, and this is when the news that is being reported caught my attention.
