Wen Yuan looked out the window and found that those souls in a violent state last time were moving closer to this side, "What's going on?" ”

"The power of the Phantom God Bead is weakening, and it is about to be unable to support the operation of this country, but it is okay, when the Phantom God Bead completely disappears, everything will return to normal." The woman's eyes were very pleased, and she seemed to be quite emotional about this matter,

Wen Yuan didn't understand the meaning of her words, "What does it mean that everything is normal?" Could it be that after the power of the Illusory God Bead dissipates, these souls will disappear? ”

"That's right, without the Phantom Orb, many things would no longer exist, but this country will still sleep underground."

Those raging souls took the initiative to stop when they walked outside the house, and Wen Yuan thought they would rush in.

Wen Yuan stayed here all night and talked a lot to the woman, and she also told herself a lot of distorted historical truths, "And...... After the power of the Illusory Orb has dissipated, you can also go out. ”

The two talked for a while, and then it was dawn, and the children woke up from their long sleep,

The little boy who had been holding Temari before was very excited when he saw Wen Yuan, "Sister, why are you here?" ”

"I came here last night to talk to your mother about something, do you want to hang out with me?" She was afraid that the woman would not be at ease, so she turned to her and said, "Don't worry, I will send him back before dusk."

The little boy ran excitedly and grabbed the woman's skirt, "Mother, just let me go, I will be obedient and won't be mischievous." ”

Seeing his expectant appearance, the woman couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay Xiaocheng, you must obediently listen to this sister, you have to come back before dark, you know?" ”

After receiving the boy's assurance, the woman watched with concern as he took Wen Yuan's hand and walked away, she had protected these children for so long...... It's time for him to see what he cares about before the end of time.

The others were all a little puzzled when they saw Wen Yuan go out and bring back a child after a night's work, "Is this child one of the women you said before taking care of?" ”

"That's right, his name is Xiaocheng."

Xiao Cheng was more lively than many children, and he walked to the middle of Shen Huaiyan and introduced himself to himself, "Hello brothers, my name is Xiao Cheng, do you want to play Temari with me?" ”

The strange thing is this temari, Xiao Cheng has never put it down, and Wen Yuan noticed that even when he was sleeping, he was holding this temari ball tightly in his arms.

"Okay, I happen to be bored too, I'll play with you." He Sheng is also enthusiastic, and immediately played with Xiao Cheng.

As for the other three people, one looks down on human beings, and the other is too old, so only Shen Huaiyan can still play with the two of them.

Wen Yuan stood aside and looked at them with a smile on his face, thinking that if it hadn't happened to the woman before, Xiao Cheng would have played a game of handbow with his family like this, imagining that he should have lived a peaceful life.

Thinking of these Wen Yuan made people feel a little sad, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her back to everyone, and when Quan found out that she was approaching, she had already adjusted her emotions.

"Did I just see you crying?" The man asked a little uninterestingly.

Wen Yuan shook his head very stubbornly and didn't admit that he had shed tears just now, "What, my eyes were blown into the sand by the wind, so you cried, am I the kind of person who cries casually?" Hate, go away, go away. ”

Seeing her arrogant little appearance, Quan chuckled behind Wen Yuan, "You kid is really dishonest." ”

"Whoever is dishonest, just didn't cry, you go away, be careful that I deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors!" Wen Yuan clenched his fists as if he was going to hit Quan, so that Quan could only run away quickly.

It was dusk in a flash, Wen Yuan looked at the gradually darkening sky and was ready to send Xiao Cheng back, "Xiao Cheng, it's time for us to go back." ”

But Xiao Cheng suddenly ran to the river, "Sister, actually, I'm already dead, right." ”

His eyes were clear and sincere, and looking at Wen Yuan made her a little overwhelmed, "How could it be, aren't you standing here well." ”

"Don't lie to me, sister, you are lying to me like your mother, in fact, I have died a long time ago." The hand bow in the child's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light under his urging.

As Temari rose into the air, fragments of Xiao Cheng's memories before his death slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, "The people of the entire Riyun Kingdom died in that catastrophe, and the monarch who escaped by luck could not bear the fact that he urged the power of the Phantom God Bead to turn the time back to seven days before the disaster, and it has always maintained the appearance before it was destroyed, but the Phantom God Bead cannot resurrect the dead people, and the good thoughts are turned into entities without memories to act during the day, Those who have grievances become souls with memories, haunting only after night covers the land. ”

Wen Yuan found a very interesting truth in these clips, that is, the Phantom God Bead had always been by their side.

"Angry souls want a place to rest, and that's what we want." Temari fell back into Makoto's hand after the light dissipated.

The sky had gradually darkened, and Xiao Cheng's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and if he couldn't return to the woman's side before he fell asleep completely, no one knew what would happen next.

Wen Yuan carried Xiao Cheng back to the stone house as fast as he could, just in time to see the woman who was anxiously waiting for them to come back outside the door, "I thought you weren't coming back, but it's okay, it's okay to be back." ”

She hurriedly carried Xiao Cheng back into the house and invited Wen Yuan to sit down.

But Wen Yuan asked her a question, "Why does Xiao Cheng keep holding this hand bow of his, what is this?" Today we see his memories in Temari. ”

"No wonder he came back so slowly, you must already know the cause of his death." The woman turned and covered the children with the quilt, even though she knew in her heart that they were not afraid of the cold and could not feel any change in temperature.

Wen Yuan didn't know whether to tell her what happened today, and after weighing it for a long time, she decided to tell the woman, "Actually...... I think Xiao Cheng should have known the cause of his own death. ”

"It can't be." The woman felt that what Wen Yuan said was simply a fantasy.

"At that time, he held his hand and bowed and asked me, in fact, he was dead, right, I wanted to fool the past, but he showed me those clips, and said to me, you have been lying to him, I am."

Wen Yuan's words made the woman fall into endless self-blame, "I thought I protected them well, but I didn't expect that he would already know the fact that he had long ceased to exist in this world." ”

"I thought I was hiding it well, but don't think I'm a person with dirty intentions, I just want to protect these kids, as for that Temari ......"

The woman wiped away her tears and told Wen Yuan what Temari meant to Xiao Cheng, "That Temari was given to him by Xiao Cheng's father, his father is an honest man who fishes for a living, Xiao Cheng always holds Temari by the river and waits for his father to catch a big fish, and when other people see him, they will always play Temari with him for a while." ”

After saying this, her face changed suddenly, "Until one day, Xiao Cheng accidentally fell into the not-so-big whirlpool in order to pick up the temari that was blown down in the river by the wind, and the whirlpool quickly brought him underwater, but the river was so calm that there was nothing. ”

"Until he was salvaged ashore, he dragged the temari ball in his hand, and when he was buried, the temari ball also followed him into the coffin."

It turned out that there was such a sad story, Wen Yuan looked at Xiao Cheng who was sleeping, and his heart was full of unbearability, "What about the other children?" Are they all accidents too? ”

"Yes, they all have something on their bodies that they carried when they died, and that thing condenses their obsessions, but because these children are innocent and kind by nature, they are not able to cause bad effects like other souls, and as for the memories in Xiao Cheng's Temari ball, it is also because he misses the beautiful things that happened when he was alive."

Such...... Wen Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand, "Their backgrounds are quite bumpy. ”

It's not an exaggeration to say it's miserable, "So, that temari ball isn't a big thing, it's just their obsession." ”

Wen Yuan thought that the handbow ball in Xiao Cheng's hand was a phantom bead at first, but he didn't expect that he had guessed wrong.

She looked at the woman with some embarrassment, and the woman actually smiled rarely, "You think the hand bow ball in his hand is the Phantom God Bead, right?" ”

"That's right...... Ha ha...... It's really stupid. ”

The woman's gaze was a little distant, "Actually, the Phantom God Bead is indeed still here, far away in the sky, close in front of you, pay attention to the things around you." ”

The next day, Wen Yuan returned to the camp and kept thinking about the woman's words, what does it mean to be far away in the sky, close in front of you, is it difficult to ...... Is the Illusion Orb really in the place where she can see it every day?

She began to look for anything round around the camp, and Shen Huaiyan didn't quite believe such words when she asked, "Ah Yuan, sometimes the mind can't be too limited, do you really think that the Phantom God Bead must be the shape of the bead?" What if it's something else? ”

"If it's something else, then why do you want to call it the Phantom God Bead?" It can be seen that Wen Yuan has been staying here recently, and his mind has been seriously affected.

Shen Huaiyan pursed his lips and didn't speak, but he always felt that the woman who took care of the children was not simple, and he begged Wen Yuan to take him with him to find the woman that night.

But when the two arrived at the stone house, they found that the woman and the group of children were gone, "Impossible, they were still there this morning." ”

"Do you know I'm coming? So left early? ”

Probably not......
