At the same time that Lin Sheng's face was full of solemnity.

The man who had been staring at the two for a long time spoke again:

"Although a fairly grand welcome party has been prepared, it still seems that it is not well prepared."

The tone is always the look of the cheerful boy next door.

"Even though I was very optimistic about you before, I really didn't expect that you were a more special child than I imagined."

After speaking, the man snapped his fingers again, and the ghosts on his side began to disappear one by one, leaving only the female ghost in the school uniform who countered the ghost.

"Your understanding of the world is still too shallow, I hope you can grow a little more, and at that time, maybe I'll invite you again, huh...... I believe it won't be long. ”

Then the door of the old mansion opened automatically out of thin air.

"Don't worry, I know what you're thinking, I'm not the kind of boring person, it's better to put this worry on the side of that pretending bird's nest than on me."

Lin Sheng's heart was suddenly shocked.

The other party seemed to be able to feel his thoughts or emotions, and directly broke his worries.

The man then slowly stepped out of the door of the room.

"Ah...... I almost forgot. ”

The man suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Sheng again.

"How do you feel about experiencing eighteen years of false life in a dream?"

"What do you think?"

"I think so too."

The man's smile never faded, and he nodded.

"However, not everyone can be as cruel as Xiao Sheng."

"What do you mean?"

"In the face of the 'family' who treat you well, you can also be ruthless and start one by one, and even the role of 'parent' can't stop you, this unbearable decisiveness, but the vast majority of people don't have it."

"Others are much more cowardly, and even if the circumstances are completely opposite, they will only end up turning the blade on themselves."

Lin Sheng saw the other party saying and beckoned out of the room.

"Remember the roots of this particular incident?"

After the man finished beckoning, he looked sideways at Lin Sheng again.

"I made a really interesting little design."

"When all of your companions die, or if any one of them shows up here, they move to a place that you will never be able to find in a short period of time, or rather, no one will be able to find in a short period of time."

"And at that point, he'll be officially activated at Level 2, and the domain identity will no longer be what it is now, but will be much more 'low-key,' you know what I mean."

"But...... After he kills any two of them, the ghost will leave his body for good, and he will turn back into a human being, returning to his real-life parents. ”

"The choice is yours."

"Let me see your answer."

With that, the figure of the other party immediately disappeared into thin air.

Lin Sheng just wanted to chase after him, but was gently pulled by Xiaoying's sleeve.

"The energy pool has long bottomed out, and the other party is much higher than us in terms of mastery of the field itself."

“……”

Lin Sheng then began to stare out of the room—

The "he" of the man's mouth ...... Who is it referring to?

Gulu Gulu————

The sound of a ball rolling from a distance outside the room to a nearby place sounded, and then rolled directly into the room, stopping at Lin Sheng's feet.

Immediately after, a boy who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old followed the voice and cautiously groped his way over and looked at Lin Sheng, who was standing in the room at the moment.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

The other party was barefoot, his clothes were in tatters, and his face was covered with dirt and bloodstains, including his exposed body.

Lin Sheng suddenly noticed-

The other person looks a lot like himself.

To be precise, it's very much like myself when I was a child.

"Excuse me......"

There was a hint of cowardice in his voice.

"Did you see it...... My mom ...... Where did it go? ”

Lin Sheng didn't answer, just looked down at his feet.

It was a head.

A female head.

The right hand holding the crystal long knife clenched slightly.

Lin Sheng had almost understood the man's words.

Looking sideways at the old TV—

The battle just now did not affect it, but at this moment, the content on the screen had changed, no longer showing the current state of Lixia and the others, but switching to a silent video clip.

Look...... Footage of a dream event that is supposed to be related to the boy was somehow recorded.

First, there is a slightly blurry picture, on which a man and a woman stand on the left and right of the boy, holding the boy's hands.

But unlike Lin Sheng's dream, the boy did not experience the warmth of the family.

Both parents are extremely extreme in personality and have obvious violent tendencies.

Daily arguments, quarrels, and frequent abuse of boys.

The body covered with scars and blood scabs made this young child gradually become withdrawn and desperate in such a family that had been full of anxiety for a long time, and even helpless enough to commit suicide several times.

It's hard to imagine a teenager already thinking about ending his life.

But what is very strange is that there will often be a choice to let parents "die" in the picture, even as a child, he can easily do it in various ways like his parents accidentally ingesting sleeping pills and other scenes.

As a result, he, like most ordinary people in the world, never did, or even thought about.

Just quietly chose to commit suicide in the early morning of a winter day.

The content on the screen is switched to a clearer picture.

The picture shows a man and a woman with the same appearance, but the two are very anxiously holding a notice and posting it on the street.

It was a missing person notice.

The one smiling in the photo is the boy.

Lin Sheng suddenly reacted.

The former should be the boy's dream, while the latter is reality.

The boy in front of him seemed to be the exact opposite of himself.

As long as you persist in your dreams or go to extremes, you can return to reality and enjoy the warmth of your family.

And after thinking about this, he suddenly understood what the man meant-

……

He's forcing himself to make a choice.

Either kill the boy in front of you.

Or do nothing and let him go.

But......

Lin Sheng turned his gaze back to the boy who was standing not far away.

The man...... I have a very thorough grasp of my own psychology.

The boy in front of him looks really similar to his past, and with his experience and original family, it can almost be understood that he is another completely reversed self in the world.

After living miserably in a dream for more than ten years, he completely forgot that he should have grown up in a warm family.

And the price of letting him live and return to his parents' arms is not too great, but there will be two people who have nothing to do with him who have a high probability of dying.

There are billions of people in the world.

And there are only a few related to me.

At this moment, Lin Sheng was indeed a little hesitant.

Because of the man's design for the number of people who needed to be killed...... It's a bit hard to choose.

No more, no less, just two people.

If there is only one person, then whether you kill the other person or let him go, the result is nothing more than the death of only one person, and you are likely to comfort yourself and let the other person go.

If there are more people, then he will naturally kill the other party without hesitation, so as to avoid a large number of people from dying because of his momentary hesitation and unbearableness.

But now, as long as he is spared, the death toll will only be two.

Lin Sheng suddenly recalled the playful smile when the man left.

That's what you said, "I'd like to ask you one more question," right......

The decision on this issue is in my hands.

Whether I am indifferent or not, the sin will eventually come to me.

Gazing back at the boy in front of him—

The TV was not visible from the other party's location, and he was just staring at his position vacantly.

The crystal long knife in his hand didn't know whether to clench it tightly or let go for a while.
