Chapter 53: The Sprout of Resentment
I timidly approached Ghost Gu Man's face step by step, and the light of the silver bracelet in my hand turned from dark to bright in the inky environment, allowing me to see more clearly the white thing behind Ghost Gu Man's face, reflecting a faint silver scale light.
It was a large white sphere, faintly blending into the darkness and floating like a breath. The parts of Ghost Gu Man except for her face seemed to melt into the ball, and the swollen tendons were entrenched on her face, and she squirmed like a grunt from time to time.
This is...... What is it!? A few pairs of pale hands and feet came into view as the ball floated.
It was good not to look closely, but when I looked closely, I found that there were thin fingers and toes mixed with the arc-shaped lines on the ball.
This is clearly a ball piled up with hands and feet and torso!
I covered my mouth and nose in surprise, and suddenly there was a fishy smell from my nose, which was a mixture of the smell of stagnant water and the sweetness of blood.
"You see? Scared? Just when I almost retreated, Ghost Gu Man's miserable white lips moved slightly, and his voice echoed in the inky water, revealing inexplicable desolation and pain. Her face with swollen meridians and cheeks vibrated slightly, and with a violent squirming of the meat balls, her whole head was sucked in with a squeak, and she was immediately spit out.
In the gap between entering and exiting, I could vaguely see Gu Man's body firmly wrapped in the meat ball, which seemed to have some roots inside, and they were entrenched in every corner of Gu Man's body that Gu Man could see, densely packed with tubes full of roots and whiskers on her skin. It seemed to absorb something from Gu Man's body, and it seemed to be infusing her body with something.
"You...... Your face! Behind! My feet couldn't help but fall to the ground limply, and I was speechless and pointed at Gu Man's stupid face, and my fingers kept shaking.
Gu Man's face, which was originally loved by everyone in the unit and bloomed at the flowers, even if it became hideous and vicious later, was not as embarrassed as it was now, as if he had crawled out of a pig's nest.
Her face was full of thin veins and twisted into a bluish-purple color, and a viscous unknown liquid hung on her eyebrows, and even her hair was in a clump.
What the hell is this!
"You see? Scared? Ghost Gu Man's voice continued to repeat Fang Cai's words without changing it, just like a hint of fear that made me even feel suffocated by the high level of horror.
However, it seemed that she didn't intend to scare me to death like this, and soon the oppressive atmosphere quickly faded, and the surrounding water environment slowly warmed up, and I looked at her with some questioning and some surprise.
She was originally hideous and strong, and she actually had such emotions in her eyes?
I still remember everything in the hallucinations before, and after experiencing such dismemberment and abandonment, I can probably understand her hatred for the world.
That's right, when I fell into the water, and I was still dragged by the hemp rope around my neck, how could I not be resentful?
Just, why did she become like this? Is it really the handiwork of the Lu family?
"Is it Lu Bo, did Xue Feng kill you? Or is it a hallucination that you deliberately let me see!? I bit my lip and asked the question I was most eager to ask.
It's really not that I don't worry about my own safety, it's just that I want to know more than this, whether Lu Xuefeng and they really used such torture on others.
"I never knew them, what Lu Bo, Xue Feng's. I only saw these people in control of your memories, these people who were originally dear to you. So using their projections as a re-enactment of my past, you may be able to appreciate my pain at that time. ”
Ghost Gu Man looked at me indifferently, as if he had read my thoughts. I see that I care more about the people who appear in this dream than about the accidents that happen in this dream.
"Behind me are the limbs of people who have been torn apart like this. It's just that all they have left here are their hands and feet, but I, as the core of my body, are stuck here, unable to get out. As Gu Man spoke, he flipped up with those fish-like eyes from time to time, and a hoarse voice continued to come out of her throat, which was full of warp whiskers.
Core?
Only her? Can't get out? Why?
Not to mention anything else, that arm is so familiar, it seems that when I got rid of her so easily, it was such a white arm that entangled me, it was those white arms that dragged me into her memories!
"Ever? Why do you tear these people apart......" There are thousands of thoughts in my mind, but when I open my mouth, the voice is still shaking. The ball of flesh was tumbling and wriggling, and the movement began to become more and more violent as time passed, and it made a creaking sound.
Belch...... The sound was a little disgusting.
"Before me, there were many people who died in this river, which is the so-called sacrifice for everyone."
Is this the breath of the god of the river to be sacrificed to the river?
How can there be such a trick in society now?
This kind of river sacrifice seems to have existed in ancient times, Ximen Leopard's river god married his wife, and Zhuge Liang's steamed bun Zhenhe. But one is to find someone to accompany the river god, and the other is to give the river god something to eat. So what does it mean to tear people apart to the river god here?
"But why are you the only one who is the way you are?" Since the meat ball was torn and piled up by the former person, why does she have a face? Is it because of the relationship of the upper body?
Just as I was asking and thinking, a pair of white arms appeared next to the silver bracelet in my hand, and the slender fingers gently covered the light emitted from my silver bracelet, as if the light was dazzling. It's just that unfortunately, a burst of steam that burns and evaporates the hands bounced away, but with an inexplicable gravitational pull, the hands were firmly adsorbed at a distance of about a few centimeters from the silver bracelet.
I only heard the sound of the scorching sound all the time, and my hands were on the top of the silver bracelet, and my five fingers were turned upside down, dancing as soft as a boneless, like dancing on a fire, and soon the fingertips burned and quickly scorched, and finally shattered into a puddle of mud-like powder.
This...... How did this suddenly appear?
I looked up at Ghost Gu Man in some surprise, wanting to see how she had seen this happen. As a result, as expected, a wisp of cunning suddenly flashed in those eyes, and it quickly returned to the original sad expression.
Isn't it inviting you into the urn?
She's just talking to me so far, not at all like she used to do, what the hell is she trying to do?
"You want to know? Let's start from the beginning, these behind me, these things you can see are called grudges. They are like a fruit that grows from the branches, absorbs nutrients, grows, and finally sprouts again and becomes the branches of the whole tree. ”
"And I am the bud in this grudge."
Sprouts of resentment? What is that? Will it sprout and then expand? Does it mean disaster afterward?
"And what will happen to you and them in the end?"
"Hehe, I don't know. Maybe they do? It's a pity that they can't speak, and can only experience it through empathy, just like the illusion I showed you. Why don't you come and touch it!? You may be able to get the answer you want. The corners of Ghost Gu Man's mouth raised a smile as if victory was in sight, and there was an inexplicable inducement in his voice, which made me feel a little uncontrollable to step forward.
As I stepped forward, the light of the bracelet began to change, from fiery red to silvery white, from hot to cold, just as I had fought her that day.
The body stretched out uncontrollably towards the ball of meat, and when it was almost touching the almost soft texture, the arm on the ball suddenly moved by itself, grabbed my wrist, and then several arms also stretched out like waking up, and quickly pulled my hair and clothes.
Is this going to drag me into this ball?
