Seeing the child walking into him step by step with a knife, there were still blood stains on the knife, but Phil's leg really didn't obey the call, as if it was frozen. The past kept thinking about it in Phil's head.

The thing is.

It was in the past, what happened to Fill, many years ago, but Phil never wanted to remember it, because it really scared her.

It was still an autumn, rainy night, Phil went home alone at night, it was a little late that day, Phil was afraid of going home and being reprimanded by his father, so he took a shortcut, and if he went home through a very old alley, he could have a lot of time left, which was equivalent to crossing half the city less.

Suddenly heard a loud sound, Phil looked curiously, it was a man, holding a knife, approaching a child step by step, finally, the man stabbed the child, and left, but the child did not die, fell to the ground, the rain turned into red blood, and kept flowing down the ground.

Maybe it's because of human instinct, after the child struggled to get up, he instantly picked up an iron rod and knocked it on the man's head, and the man fell to the ground, this scene simply frightened Phil, Phil swallowed his saliva, slowly retreated, and in a panic, the child found her, picked up the knife on the ground, shook it in the rain, and slowly walked towards Phil.

"Don't get excited, you stop first, you see I have nothing in my hands, I won't hurt you, if you have any opinions, I'll leave here immediately, then I'll go first." Phil didn't want to stay in this place of right and wrong, so she hurried out of here before she needed to get into any more trouble.

But the child did the same thing as the man, but compared to the man's treatment, her treatment was much worse than the man's, a stick hit on the back, Phil only felt a little dizzy, squatted on the ground, looked back at the child, through the light, only to see the child's face.

There is no innocent and lovely childlike spirit on the face, there is no innocent light in the eyes, the eyes are full of hatred, the body is wet with rain, the rain is mixed with blood, slowly flowing on the body, the child raised the knife, at this time, suddenly a car rushed over, suddenly, the child hit the ground, suddenly, the blood stained the ground, with the water flow on the ground............

Fortunately, the car stopped and did not continue to drive, Phil got up, slowly walked to the side, looked at the child, stared at her fiercely, and then a few people got out of the car.

"You're here, you didn't go home, Mr. and Mrs. lost their temper." At this time, it was Inge who rushed over and saw the panicked Phil and the child on the ground............

"Oh, it's okay, it's just scaring me, don't call me that, then let's go home, let's take the road." When Phil saw Inge coming, he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, and he was not so afraid, and when he returned home, he was naturally scolded by his head and face.

The parents' words were indeed excessive, but out of concern and anxiety, Phil understood very well.

After taking a bath, Phil lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep, but in the dream, the child, with cold and fierce eyes, holding a knife, rushed towards her, Phil woke up suddenly, and immediately turned on the bedside lamp, a warm yellow light, temporarily, dispelled the fear in his heart.

This matter has been suppressed in Phil's heart, and so far, she has not mentioned it to anyone, not even Inge.

"It's so funny, compared to how she faces herself, what will he do now if I follow her, let her out, after all, it's the two of them now."

"Oh, you're really bored, okay."

The child was holding a knife, his face was hideous, especially the eyes, slowly approaching, Phil carefully observed the little girl, if this is Ciri's state of mind, that is to say, this is Ciri

The smoke slowly faded away, and the little child, naturally, disappeared, and Phil sat down on the ground all of a sudden, his heart beat faster, and his hand touched the ground, it was grass???

It's all graves, it's all land, isn't it, what about Ciri? It was important to find Ciri, so he immediately stood up, looked around, and saw that Ciri was on a meadow, Phil immediately ran over and hugged Ciri, his heart was already broken, how could this be, what was going on.

Reached out and touched Ciri's snort, neck, and pulse, as long as she was alive, but how could she faint.

At this time, a pawnshop appeared in front of me.

Phil muttered curiously, "Pawnshop? "Is there a pawnshop in this kind of place? There is no one here who can pawn something, there is no valuable, and besides, this place is full of dead people, how can there be a pawnshop, unless it is a dead man's pawnshop???

Do you want to go in?

"Don't, don't, go, don't.................. Not me...... I didn't mean to...... It's all my ............" Phil faintly heard Ciri muttering, could it be that Ciri was dreaming?? Or what's going on, it shouldn't be life-threatening.

What the hell is going on? Or is it just a simple coma? Or is it just a simple subconscious activity, or is it just a dream?

Finally, Phil glanced at the pawnshop, intending to go inside, and maybe find something that would help him, because now when he needed help, he didn't know what was going on in Ciri.

"Wait, I've changed my attention again, from the darkness and fear in my heart? I guess it's not just one thing. ”

"You old immortal, all right."

"How can there be a smell of blood?" Suddenly, a strong smell of blood entered Phil's nostrils, and Phil immediately hugged Ciri, because no matter what happened, Ciri should be protected first, and he should be in the back.

This time there was no smoke, it was still the child, trembling and walking, still with a weird smile on his face, Phil glanced at the child, and then at Ciri, this time, she made a decision, although she didn't know what was going on, but, she had her own reasons, and she didn't know what was going on at the time, wasn't it just a child, at most it was a simple prank, and he accidentally killed a man, and finally was hit by a car and died.

I'm just a bystander, and there's nothing to be afraid of.

Phil stood up, put Ciri on the ground, and walked over to the child, a small child, nothing to fear, slowly approached the child, silently telling himself in his heart that there was nothing to be afraid of.

But the little child disappeared with a puff of smoke, and Phil felt very strange, so he didn't have to worry about it if his sister disappeared.

It was suddenly a bell rang, Phil immediately looked around, and finally found that the bell came from the pawnshop, the whole pawnshop was shrouded in yellow lights, which was particularly obvious in the dark night, and the pawnshop was called "Soul Pawnshop".

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a person came out, dressed in black, and slowly approached, and Phil saw that it was a woman dressed in black.

"This is the soul pawnshop, as long as you are willing to pay, we can achieve what you want, you have to pay your memory, feelings, abilities, etc., as long as you want, we can do it, she is just in her own state of mind, if you don't rely on her own ability to come out, she will sleep forever." The woman's voice was clean and clean, without the slightest hint of mud.

"Is there anything you can do about it?" Phil asks the woman in front of her because she doesn't know what happened to Ciri.

"Then you come, what do you want to sell you, take her, come to the pawnshop with me, our shopkeeper is waiting for you." When the woman finished speaking, she pointed to Ciri on the ground. Phil looked at the beads of sweat on Ciri's forehead, looked at the woman, and said, "Then please do me a favor and help me get it in." ”

The woman, without the slightest hesitation, walked up to Phil, helped Ciri up, and walked straight into the pawnshop, with clean movements. Speaking in a tone, without any emotional color, it sounds very cold, no one knows what she exchanged, and what she got in exchange, in short, you have to be careful every step now, because what will happen in the future is really unpredictable.

"Here we are." The woman put Ciri on another chair, and Phil walked in only to find that this pawnshop had many tables and chairs inside, a bit like a restaurant.

At this time, a man slowly descended the wooden staircase on the second floor, his footsteps were very clear on the stairs, and the sound of footsteps swayed back and forth in the room, slowly, little by little, towards Phil.

"Come on, let me see." The man's voice sounded weak, and like the woman, he spoke without emotion, all in one tone, and slowly went down, and the man walked up to Ciri, looked at Ciri, and then at Phil.

"She, now trapped in her own state of mind, the fog just now, can reflect your heart, so that according to your memory and what is deep in your heart, derived into images and sounds, in other words, you see another self, self-encirclement, and it will change with change, that is the duel between you and your own heart, looking at this she should not be able to get out." The man walked to the counter.

Phil was completely messy, and she didn't know what to do now, so the kid just now was also controlled by these two people.

"You're a pawnshop, right, is there anything you can do?" Phil watched the man sit down and said in a resolute tone.

The man poured a glass of water unhurriedly and took a sip slowly, "Of course, we are a pawnshop here, as long as you are willing to exchange things, we can fulfill your wishes." The man lowered his head and didn't look at Phil.

At this time, the woman suddenly walked up to the man's side and slapped the table with her hand.

"That's it, as for what you take in exchange, let's keep this aside for now, you enter her state of mind first, remember, don't break anything, no matter what it is, it's very important to her, if something is broken, it becomes a node, it can't be connected to the later memory, and, in her state of mind, you are an intruder, an enemy, you will be attacked, but you can't hurt her, because that's her own protection, then I will send you into her state of mind, Everything that happens inside is real. "The tone of the man's speech is very strange.

"Really?" Phil didn't know if the person in front of him could be trusted, but it was obvious to him now that he had no other way back, so he could only choose to believe the man in front of him. "How am I going to do it, but I don't know exactly what to do, and why should I trust you, aren't you a pawnshop here? It's like you said an equivalent exchange, but I haven't made anything yet, businessmen don't make loss-making deals," Phil's tone was very resolute, but also full of suspicion and suspicion, but he was also a businessman in his own family, as the saying goes, no treacherous businessman.

"Haha, that's what I said, there's no problem, since you're in such a hurry now, well, you have to enter the girl's state of mind now to help her, and you won't necessarily wake her up, and when you come out, you're sacrificing your soul, if you can't come out, you're going to be buried in the state of mind with her, you see that there is no door, you can walk in." The speed of the man's speech and expression are all the same, almost like a walking corpse.

Following the direction of the man's finger, Phil approached the stone door.

"Are you sure it's really the right thing to do? And you also have the opposite rule, because she didn't give anything in exchange, and she didn't ask where she wanted to go, whether she wanted to do it or not, what she wanted to do. The woman looked a little dissatisfied, but there was no expression on her face, and her tone was still the same as before, steady and emotionless.

The man didn't speak, but went straight up the stairs, and went back to the dark room, where there was a crystal ball, and there was a large chessboard on the table, and the woman saw Phil go inside, and went back to the room upstairs.

"Why are there so many doors?" Phil approached and found that there was no way back, there were many doors here, each with a number. Which door do you want to go through? Phil looked at the so many doors in front of him, hesitated to walk into which door, and after looking at it, Phil decided to go through each door to see what was going on.

First of all, Phil saw the door numbered 8, because the distance of this door was very close to him, Phil slowly opened the door, and found that it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything, Phil walked forward slowly, and found nothing, the surroundings were very dark, walking and walking, Phil found that there was a sound in front of him, Phil immediately quickened his pace, and chased up, Phil only felt that he was getting heavier and heavier, and his legs were like being filled with lead, and every step was difficult.

But Phil still persevered, and he didn't know how long he walked, and found that in a corner, there was a little girl standing, sitting alone in the stairs, with her head down, Phil saw such a scene, and walked over curiously, but found that no matter how she walked, she couldn't get close to the little girl. Phil looked at the little girl carefully, if this is Ciri's state of mind, then in other words, is this Ciri's past?

It's so dissimilar, Phil doesn't know what to do now, just stood there and watched, after a while, Phil stepped forward, going to say hello to the little girl, at this time, the little girl suddenly turned her face, Phil was not good, the little girl had her eyes closed, there was a wound on her arm, and it was still bleeding, and the blood flowed down her arm to the ground, ticking, who is this? It can't be Ciri when she was a child, even if she is disabled, she is not like this, who is this little girl?

Phil came closer and closer, and finally walked up to the little girl, and crouched down, intending to talk to the little girl, because she wanted to know what was going on, and the little girl was unmoved, and just sat down.

Forget it doesn't seem to find anything, go to the other numbered rooms to see, that's the kind of thought, Phil planned to turn around and walk back, and slowly walked to the door when he came, but found that the door couldn't be opened, and at this time there were footsteps behind him!

Phil jerked his head back, only to see the child!!

How can this be, isn't it Ciri's state of mind? How could it be, isn't this kid the one he knows? The child was still holding a knife in his hand, and asked Phil to come step by step, and when he was about to arrive, he rushed towards Phil with a knife.

Phil remembered what the man had said, "Don't break anything." Phil grabbed the kid in time, because if the kid fell, he would definitely hit something, but the kid stabbed Phil in the leg and immediately opened the door and ran out, and Phil immediately felt pain in his leg.

Phil then opened the door and went out, and when he came out, door 8 was gone!!

Phil looked again, chose Door 14, opened the door and walked in, but it was still different from Door 8, and Door 14 was gray to enter. The pain in her leg made Phil not walk for long, Phil simply sat on the ground to rest, at this time she saw a girl, holding a cat in her arms, holding a book in her hand, sitting on the steps basking in the sun, this scene, déjà vu.

Because Ciri too, he especially likes to bask in the sun, and he also likes cats very much, he is simply a cat slave all the time, always holding the cat in the sun, and when he reads, he does not forget to have a cat on his lap, Phil looked at the cat on the girl's lap, the cat was very lazy and lay on his stomach, motionless, the girl stroked the cat with her hand, while reading the book, and when she turned the book, she was very careful in her movements, as if she was afraid of waking up the cat, this scene made Phil feel an inexplicable strange sense of loneliness and loss.
