The Left Hand of the Devil Chapter 1 The Return of the Soul

Next Chapter

Probably everyone's heart has more or less flashed such an imagination, if you can start over, if you can go back to the beginning, if you can choose again.

Then there will be no repeat of the same mistakes, and maybe everything will be the same way.

But even if you start all over again, will you be able to change the outcome?

Especially if you don't know anything about it, you'll start over.

When she woke up to the strange sound of the piano, in addition to the white curtain flying in the wind, there was only the woman sitting not far away, her body was tightly wrapped in layers of black veil, and even her face was mostly hidden under the black veil, except for the pair of shining eyes.

Such a beautiful pair of eyes, as if only one eye wave can hook people's souls.

But at this time, those eyes were filled with a chill like ice and snow, and even the stuffy steamer-like room seemed to be unconsciously cold.

The sunlight shone in through the window paper, and she subconsciously closed her eyes, as if she couldn't look directly at the blazing and bright light.

The corners of the black-clothed woman's mouth suddenly raised a cold smile, but her beautiful eyes as bright as stars stared intently at the curtain three steps away from her, as if she wanted to stare out of the thin curtain.

The white curtain fluttered gently with the breeze leaking through the window, revealing the face of a young girl, which was a little difficult to see through the curtain.

I could only vaguely see that the girl's eyes were closed, her face was sickly pale, her skin was white and almost transparent, and even the cyan blood veins were clearly visible, as if she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, but she hadn't opened them again after closing her eyes again.

Time passed bit by bit, the woman in black's gaze not only did not waver in the slightest, but became more and more scorching, such a strong gaze stared directly at the girl's pale and fragile face, the girl seemed to feel something, frowned and kept struggling.

Finally, the girl's eyes opened a slit again, but the woman in black not only did not relax, but became more nervous, the hand that was originally stroking the qin suddenly stopped, grabbed the strings tightly, and after a while, it was re-tuned.

The slender, fair, flawless hands gently plucked the strings, and the notes that flowed out were very scattered and disorganized, sounding a little strange, but the girl's eyes fluttered more violently with those notes.

The notes that flowed out faster and faster, finally joining into a complete melody.

Gentle, graceful and soothing.

But before the breath was completely smooth, the melody suddenly changed its tune.

As the hands jumped up and down, the melody of the song became more and more intense, and the tight and sonorous notes fell down like a torrential rain, and the girl's eyes also turned quickly with the thunderous notes.

Those deafening notes resounded throughout the sky, and even the cicadas outside the window who chirped day and night seemed to be shocked by such music, and they no longer dared to make the slightest sound, for fear of tarnishing this divine music that should exist in the sky and be heard in the world.

Suddenly, only a loud "bang" was heard.

The string broke.

The girl fell silent again, as if she had fallen into a new slumber.

A brief silence was followed by a crisp "bang".

But this time, it was not just one, but five in a row.

Five crunchs, five strings, and the last one remains.

However, the last sound did not sound as expected, and the last string was left on the bare body, the center string.

The girl's eyes suddenly fell silent, as if she were dead.

"Wow".

In the midst of the dead silence, a voice suddenly appeared.

Could it be that the last string is broken?

No, it was the hands that finally used this last string to drop the last note for this Kagura.

This last note resounded throughout the mountain, circling and echoing around the stratus mountains for a long time.

Happy, blowing a dream.

Absolutely loud, thousands of frightened birds at once.

It wasn't until the last of her tail was exhausted that the girl finally opened her eyes again.

"You're awake."

The woman in black opened and closed her lips slightly, her voice was as pleasant as heaven, but her tone was very cold, as if the person who was waiting for the girl to wake up just now was another soul in this body.

"Who are you? What is this place? ”

The girl glanced around in confusion, unable to adapt to the surrounding scene for a while, and turned back and forth several times to finally fix her gaze on the woman in black in front of her.

She vaguely felt that the woman in black was somewhat familiar, and she wanted to see her face, but the woman in black only looked down at the lyre with only one string left.

The girl sat up slowly, hesitantly lifted the curtain, and the dizzying heat seemed to dissipate a little, but her mind was still blank.

The girl's face was finally fully revealed, and she seemed to be a little childish, but her facial features were exquisite, but under the reflection of those shining eyes, it was inevitably a little overshadowed.

However, there is a hidden heroic spirit between the girl's eyebrows and eyes, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Glamorous and scorching, restrained and heartfelt.

"You can call me Yanniang."

The woman in black looked at the dazed girl in front of her, but there was always a sneer on the corner of her mouth, but there was undisguised malice in those beautiful eyes.

"Yan Niang? What is this place and how am I here? I... And who? ”

"Your name is Jin Yan. As for what this place is, you don't need to know. You just have to remember one thing, and from today onwards I will impart to you everything you should know. You can walk around the village as you please, but you must not leave the village even half a step. Okay, you have a good rest today, and start early tomorrow morning. ”

The black-clothed woman who called herself Yan Niang dropped this blunt sentence, and then picked up the piano with all seven strings broken, got up and left without looking at Jin Yu again.

"Wait, you haven't answered my question yet, why am I here, why can't I leave?"

Jin Yu hurriedly turned over and got out of bed and chased out of the room, but there was no trace of Yan Niang outside the house.

Jin Yu was helpless, so she had to stop and look around.

It turned out to be a three-story wooden building, with no more than four rooms on each floor, and she was standing in the middle of the room on the third floor.

Jin Fei? Who is Jin Wei? Is it me?

But why do I find the name so unfamiliar? And this body, why do I always think this body is a little strange? Could it be that I've slept too long? But how long did I sleep? Why is my mind blank? What's going on? Who am I? And why are you here?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she opened all the rooms in the wooden building like crazy, but all the rooms were empty.

Such a large wooden building, there is no sound at all, and it is empty without the slightest popularity.

It was the height of summer, and the sultry air made her heart more and more flustered, and her ears were filled with the annoying chirping of cicadas, but there was no other sound.

She took a frightened step, and as she ran barefoot through the wooden building, the 'crunching' sound of the old and stale wood made her scalp tingle, and she wanted to leave this place immediately.

She ran all the way out of the wooden building, only to see a plaque hanging crookedly outside the building, the plaque had long been tattered, full of thick dust, and crazy vines wrapped the plaque layer by layer, and could only vaguely see the word 'lifeless'.

This empty wooden building was like a huge tomb, and with such a strange name, Jin Yu suddenly felt that all the hairs on her body stood up, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Thinking of this, she was even more reluctant to stop any longer, and immediately ran out along the road.

Outside the lifeless building is an equally deserted and messy manor, this manor is very large, but only this lifeless building stands alone in the middle of the manor.

There is a door in the back garden that separates a garden, and the garden is overgrown with weeds, and it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, but I vaguely see a large pond full of lotus flowers in the middle of the back garden.

Jin Yu walked around the manor, until she reached a short distance from the gate of the manor, only to find a few servant-like people squatting in the flower garden to clean up the weeds.

Jin Yu hurriedly ran over, they seemed to be whispering something, with a malicious smile on their faces.

"You're new here, aren't you? I tell you, you have to be careful, this Zhuangzi is very evil.

What do you mean by that? I think this Zhuangzi is a little barren, but it doesn't look like something unclean. ”

"I've been in this village for so long, but I haven't even seen the owner of this village, and a few maids come out to order everything on weekdays. I have heard that in the past it seems that a large family bought this manor for the purpose of summer vacation, and called for so many servants, but after so many years, I have not even seen a few people, let alone any summer escape. ”

"Big family? How did I hear that it was bought by an official? ”

"You're all wrong, I saw with my own eyes that the owner of the village was a woman, and the woman was dressed in black, and her whole body was tightly wrapped, revealing a pair of eyes, and she looked very penetrating. But her eyes are really beautiful, and they hook my soul at a glance, so if the veil is removed, it will definitely not even be as good as the top brand of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the city. ”

"Excuse me, did you see where the woman in black went?"

Jin Yu walked towards these people, but these people didn't seem to notice her approaching at all.

When Jin Yu heard that the woman in black mentioned in their words should be Yan Niang, she hurriedly asked, but those people didn't even look at her.

"Don't patronize the beauty and lose your life."

"Excuse me, do you know what this place is?"

She was only half a step away from them, but they didn't seem to be aware of her presence.

Jin Yu only felt that the scene in front of her was strange and inexplicable, but when she thought of her coming all the way, she finally saw such a few living people, so she had to continue to ask.

"Look at what you kid said, am I that kind of person? If it weren't for the fact that this Zhuangzi gave me enough wages and little work, I wouldn't have come to this place where birds don't. ”

"Hehe, it's hard to say, I saw it yesterday, you stared at the woman, your eyes were straight."

"Excuse me, can you hear me?"

Jin Yu kept asking, and even raised her hand and shook it in front of several people, but they still didn't respond.

Jin Yu became more and more anxious, this weird Zhuangzi was like a boulder, overwhelming her, and she didn't want to stay for a minute or a second.

She turned her head and ran out of Zhuangzi, and when she looked back, she found that the Zhuangzi didn't even have a name.

Outside the village are wooded mountains, and there is no sign of any living creatures. Moreover, the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, and it was impossible to see even the scene ten steps away, and I could only vaguely see that there seemed to be patches of lush tree shadows ahead.

Outside the village is a misty mountain, only a path for one person winds its way to the dense forest not far away, but behind it is a very strange and nameless mountain villa.

Jin Yu looked into the distance, then looked back at Zhuangzi behind her, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked along the path into the woods.

Jin Yu walked into the woods, only to find that the woods were far more terrifying than she had imagined.

It was noon when the sun was blazing, and the scorching sun hung high above her head, but the sunlight could not penetrate the dense woods, only a few mottled shimmers barely penetrated the dark woods.

The more Jin Yan walked inside, the dappled light became more dim. When she regretted it and wanted to turn back, she found that she couldn't find a way back.

Jin Yu had to continue walking, and she didn't know how long she had walked, the woods were almost completely dark, and most of the scorching sun had fallen on her head, leaving only a faint light and shadow shining into the woods, but the shadows of the flourishing trees were as terrifying as ghosts.

When Jin Yu finally walked out of the woods in clothes that had already been scraped by tree branches, she found that the gate of the villa appeared in front of her.

"I've already said that you won't be allowed to leave the villa even a step."

Just when Jin Yu was almost collapsing, Yan Niang's voice sounded in her ears, and a black figure slowly walked out of the villa.

"Why? Why don't you let me leave here, what the hell is this place? ”

Jin Yan's voice was very low, and she was exhausted, but her eyes were still staring at Yan Niang without showing weakness. Yan Niang raised her head to meet her gaze, those eyes were really beautiful, but there was a cold chill like a blade in such beautiful eyes.

Her face was shrouded in black veil, and Jin Yan couldn't see her expression, but just those eyes that were as cold as snow were like a basin of cold and piercing ice water, which extinguished Jin Yan's original angry and excited mood, and even her voice involuntarily became much lighter.

"This mountain is called Weiwu Mountain, and this mountain villa is called Wushenglou. I've told you what you want to know, but even if I did, what would you do? Do you think you can get out of here? ”

"What the hell have you done to me? Why don't I remember anything, who am I? Why are you trapping me here? ”

"What did I do to you?"

Yan Niang repeated Jin Yan's question softly, but as if she didn't need anyone's answer at all, she chuckled with a self-deprecating "sneer" before continuing.

"If it weren't for me, you would have been lost and would never exist in this world."

"I..."

As soon as Jin Yu heard this, her mind seemed to explode with a sudden "bang". The four words of soul flying away were like a muffled thunder, which suddenly smashed on her body, shattering all the momentum she had barely pretended.

She was obviously standing here, how could she suddenly lose her soul for no reason?

But she couldn't refute Yan Niang's words at all, because she didn't even remember who she was, how could she remember what happened, and how could she know if her sentence was true?

Jin Yu couldn't sort out the situation in front of her at all, as if she had had a long dream, and after waking up, all that was left was a blank.

"Do you think I'm willing to save you? I wish I never had to see your nasty face again, I wish you were gone forever, but ... ”

Yan Niang's voice suddenly rose, her eyes widened like copper bells, and the hatred in her eyes shot at Jin Yan's body like sharp arrows quenched with poison. But when she said this, she suddenly paused, closed her mouth tightly, turned her head as if she didn't want to look at Jin Yan anymore, and the Adam's apple that was rolling up and down seemed to be forcibly suppressing the surging hatred in her heart.

The sharp hatred in Yan Niang's words actually made her voice a little distorted, her words kept echoing in Jin Yan's mind, as if a sharp blade was constantly grinding her nerves, she couldn't help but shiver, but she couldn't remember what kind of intersection she had with Yan Niang, which made her hate her so far.

"But what? If you hate me so much, why did you save me? ”

"Enough. What should be said and what should not be said, I have already said it, and it is up to you to decide whether to return to the villa or not. I'll just tell you two things, I have placed a ban on this mountain, and you can't get out of this mountain at all. And if you leave me, you will be scattered in three days. ”

Yan Niang snorted, dropped such a sentence, flicked her sleeves suddenly, turned around and walked into the villa, and didn't want to say a word to Jin Yan again.

Yan Niang left, leaving Jin Yu to sit alone outside the village. Her mind was like a bucket of paste, she couldn't sort out anything, she couldn't remember anything.

Jin Yu forced herself, calm down, you must calm down.

The only thing that can be determined at the moment is two things. Whether this woman who calls herself Yan Niang really saved her or not, she really hates her. Moreover, she really can't get out of this treacherous mountain, whether it is from that woman's handwriting or not.

She didn't know if what Yan Niang said about the ban and soul was true, but her stumbling this afternoon was enough to show that Yan Niang didn't lie to her, she really couldn't get out of this mountain.

So what should she do?

Not going back? Then be a hairy and blood-drinking savage in this mountain, and personally verify whether she will be gone?

But what if that's true?

Then she would never have a second chance, and she would never know what it was all about.

Get back? Not only do you have to obey the arrangement of a woman who hates her to the bone, but you may even have to rely on her to survive?

But this is her only chance, a chance to find out the truth, or a chance to live.

Jin Yu bit the corner of her lip tightly, and the two thoughts were repeatedly entangled in her mind, like a battle between heaven and man. She stared at the mountain villa not far away, and it was already completely dark. She finally made up her mind, straightened up, straightened her tattered clothes, and walked forward into the gate of the villa.

After all, everything is possible by living.
