Chapter 5: The Old Man

Watching the girl's back go farther and farther, Zhuge Liuyun silently turned around and returned to his previous itinerary and continued to return to the library.

He is now very sure that the murder of his adoptive parents was not man-made, judging from the scars on Qin Yumo's hands, the terrifying creature did come to Qin Yumo's room that night, and everything he saw in the cabinet was not illusory, and he did not suffer from mental illness. As for the changes at the scene, there are also some people's memories that have problems, which makes him very puzzled.

All he can do now is finish his studies here and kill time to get out of here, so that he can further understand the truth.

Zhuge Liuyun is very smart, and in less than two months, he mastered all the knowledge to be learned in high school, and in the face of Xiao Nai's test answers, Xiao Nai's performance was completely stunned.

"You're so smart, I've been with you for a while, and I feel like you're normal," Xiao Nai stared at Zhuge Liuyun and asked curiously.

Zhuge Liuyun looked up at his sincere eyes and said with a smile: "Do you believe that there is an existence in this world that cannot be explained by science?" ”

"Are you talking about the paranormal?" Xiao Nai asked.

"I have seen unknown creatures, and I can often see them, in layman's terms, 'ghosts'," Zhuge Liuyun said naturally.

Xiao Nai was silent.

"You don't have to be surprised when I say this, I've been defined as having mental problems, and it's reasonable to say this," Zhuge Liuyun said with a smile, in order to alleviate the embarrassment of the scene.

"Nope! Since you came into contact with me, I feel that everything is fine with you, and what you just said may be there," Xiao Nai explained.

Zhuge Liuyun immediately said, "I watched with my own eyes, my adoptive parents died at the hands of terrifying creatures, but the version given by the police was different."

From time to time, I still look at the delicate watch in my hand, which may be one of the few attachments.

Xiao Nai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't think so much, there are many unsolved mysteries in this world, many of which can't be explained by science, I will coordinate him as 'for discovery', and I don't rule out what you said."

"Hmm" Zhuge Liuyun nodded, and then looked at the watch in his hand, "It's eight o'clock, I should go back"

"Good! See you tomorrow, and if you don't know how to ask me at any time"

Zhuge Liuyun walked along the dim corridor to his room to rest as usual, and this section of the road usually took ten minutes to go directly to the room.

But after walking for a long time today, he walked out of the library at eight o'clock, and it was already eight twenty-four before it arrived, which made him confused for a while.

"Ahh

"Bang dang!"

In front of me, there was the sound of iron cups falling to the ground, and the sound of people falling.

Zhuge Liuyun stepped forward when he heard the sound, only to see an old man fall to the ground, and the tea leaves in the cup were also scattered all over the ground, the old man rubbed his knees lightly with his dry and thin hands, tried to get up, just got up halfway, and sat down again.

Zhuge Liuyun hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, "Old man, I'll help you"

"Oops! The little guy is really kind-hearted" The old man looked at Zhuge Liuyun in front of him and smiled, and kept praising without stopping.

Zhuge Liuyun helped the old man pick up the cup on the ground, and said with concern, "The old man should be careful next time, he is so old, where do you live, I will send you back"

"The end of this corridor is," said the old man.

Zhuge Liuyun helped the old man, and after walking for less than ten minutes, the old man signaled that he had arrived, and looked up at room number 000, at this time he realized that something was wrong, his room was 001, but it was already a wall in the past.

However, he looked at the old man he was holding and there was nothing abnormal, his face was kind and kind, and his body was warm and had body temperature, so it should be a person.

He helped the old man open the door and turn on the light in the room, the furnishings inside were not much different from his room, each single room in this hospital was basically a bed, a wardrobe, a square table, and a TV, he helped the old man to the bedside and was about to leave.

"Young man, sit down for a while, talk to the old man for a while," the old man said kindly.

Zhuge Liuyun did not refuse, he could feel that the old man in front of him had no ill will towards him.

"Old man, how old are you this year, your family" Zhuge Liuyun asked, but when he said it, he realized that the latter question was asked in vain, this is a mental hospital.

"I'm eighty years old this year, and my family is long gone, hahaha," the old man laughed.

Zhuge Liuyun didn't ask deeply.

"Do you think I don't look right?" The old man asked.

Zhuge Liuyun hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't mean that"

"Have you ever seen a black creature covered in fluff," the old man smiled.

"Ahh Zhuge Liuyun stumbled.

"And these creatures appear very frequently at the scene of some disasters, or are there certainly such creatures when there are disasters?" The old man told all the secrets that Zhuge Liuyun hid in his heart for a while.

Zhuge Liuyun retreated again and again, looking at the old man with a shocked face, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Young man! Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you," the old man said with a kind face, realizing that what he had just said had frightened the young man in front of him.

"You're human?" Zhuge Liuyun's eyes showed a trace of fear, and he looked at the old man on the bed.

"You relax first, I won't hurt you, I'm not a human being, and so are you," the old man said.

Zhuge Liuyun saw that he had no malicious intentions, and gradually calmed down, because he had seen that the black life would have a fishy smell when it appeared, but the old man in front of him did not, and he could feel the kindness of the old man.

"You're not human, so what are you? Am I not human? Then what am I?" asked Zhuge Liuyun puzzled.

"Soul Slayer, the creatures you see covered in black fluff are what we call black spirits, that is, 'ghosts' in some people's mouths, this kind of black spirit is the lowest level, and the brain is only bloodthirsty and killing," the old man explained.

This does sound a bit unbelievable to outsiders, but Zhuge Liuyun is the person concerned, and his experience of these is completely consistent with the old man's narration.

"Old man, what am I not human?" Zhuge Liuyun asked again.

"You don't know where you came from, you don't know who your parents are, you start remembering when you were six or seven years old," the old man asked.

Zhuge Liuyun nodded, and the old man seemed to know him very well.

"You know?" Zhuge Liuyun asked.

The old man shook his head and smiled, "I don't know, but I know that this kind of physique is more special, and one will appear in hundreds of years and thousands of years, and he is born to be a soul slayer embryo."

Zhuge Liuyun was a little lost, and the mystery of his life had been bothering him for a while, what the old man said was too fantastical, and if he was heard by outsiders, he might be thought that his illness was aggravated and he would be arrested and isolated alone.

"The world is not what we see in the world, what people can see is only the tip of the iceberg, why do car accidents occur in some places? There are still many things that science can't explain," the old man saw through Zhuge Liuyun's thoughts.

"If you are an ordinary person, it is just waiting for the unexpected to come, since God has endowed you with a unique physique, you can help others or relatives around you to avoid some unnecessary disasters, which is what people call 'trouble'" The old man staggered to Zhuge Liuyun's side and said with a kind face.

The old man was silent when he saw Zhuge Liuyun, and he didn't force anything.

"There's plenty of time, you have to stay here for more than two years, you go back and think about it! I figured out what time of day this corridor came to me," the old man said again.

Zhuge Liuyun nodded, signaled the old man to go back to rest first, and helped the old man close the door before leaving.

Although his room was 001, he walked for twenty minutes to arrive, and when he looked back, the original corridor was gone, and there was only a wall in front of him.
