In the dark and damp rental house, a chandelier is dim and dim.

The only thing in the rental room is a bed, a small desk, a straight stool, and a tattered old bookcase. The dim light reflected through the window lattices and walls, and a lonely figure was drawn up in the room.

The figure stood motionless in front of the old bookcase, looking lonely and depressed. Looking up, there was a picture frame in the center of the counter of the old bookcase, in which was a black-and-white photograph of an old man with a kind face. In front of the photo frame, there are three sticks of incense in the small copper-colored incense burner, and the smoke of the incense is curling, which makes the face of the deceased old man who is mourned faintly appear a little illusory.

Through the dim light, the young man standing in the shadows was emaciated, pale, haggard, and his eyes were dull, staring at the kind face of his grandfather, who had only been dead for a year, in the frame, and then fell silent.

Xiao Yu always thinks that he is a loser in life, full of tragedy. His life has had great ups and downs, when he was a child, his family was in the middle of the road, his parents were killed, and he was raised by his grandfather. Grandpa is a new material synthesist, with a good income, although he does not spend much time with his grandson due to the nature of his work, but the economic supply has never been interrupted, which can ensure that Xiao Yu's studies will not drop.

Having lost his parents since he was a child, Xiao Yu became precocious, very independent and strong, and when he was in middle school, he didn't want to be bullied, he often got into fights and bruises, and was forced to transfer schools. When he was eighteen years old, his grandfather died due to an experimental explosion accident, and Xiao Yu was able to save his grandfather's life after he scattered all his family wealth.

But grandpa's recuperation expenses are like a mountain, although the government subsidies are also a lot, but obviously not enough to need, in order to take care of grandpa, Xiao Yu University can only rely on work-study and part-time jobs everywhere to get by. In the end, after graduating from Xiao Yu University, in the second year of working hard with multiple hats, my grandfather still went.

Xiao Yu believes that it was because his grandfather was unwilling to continue to live and drag him down so he gave up treatment, and used his life to pave a road for him that was not affected by the burden of debt, so that he would no longer be so sad and tired, and he was forced to bend over by life, ruining his youth. He was mired in self-reproach and guilt for this. During that time, he always thought that his grandfather would give up his life because he was not strong enough, rich enough, and did not fulfill his responsibilities and filial piety.

The only relative has passed away, in order to live up to the old man's hard work, Xiao Yu came out of the haze, cheered up and started a business. At the age of twenty-four, because his personality was too upright and strong, the so-called would rather bend than bend, offending the villain without knowing it, his career sank to the bottom, his business failed, and he inexplicably contracted an incurable disease. Although all the assets accumulated by entrepreneurship in recent years have been dispersed again, and there are no debts, the reality is still very cruel, Xiao Yu's classmates and friends around him are still alienated from him, who wants to be friends with a loser, no one wants to help him anymore.

After suffering all the hardships and seeing the state of the world, Xiao Yu fell into the lowest point of his life again. In the past few days, Xiao Yu has locked himself in this small black house of less than 20 square meters, which he temporarily rented and moved into, as if he had fallen into an abyss of endless loneliness and loneliness.

He will deeply reflect on his own life experience, and will also remember the spiritual pillar that has quietly passed, although it has not collapsed, but it has faintly broken traces.

Knock knock! may feel that the new tenants who have been closed for three days are abnormal, which has aroused the suspicion of the landlady, and a heavy knock on the door finally brought Xiao Yu, who has been in the shadows for days, back to reality. Xiao Yu came back to his senses and felt that the landlord seemed to be about to break the door by force, so he hurried over and opened the door. The moment he opened the door, when the light from outside was refracted and reflected on his face, Xiao Yu's eyes were very uncomfortable, and he covered it with his hand for a while until he got used to it, and then put down his pale hand. Looking at the landlady with a serious face at the door, she said in a hoarse voice: "Landlady, is there something wrong?" ”

The landlady Chen Lan is over forty years old, with fair skin, ordinary appearance, slightly rich figure, and a quiet and cute pet dog in her arms.

"Ahh

Unexpectedly, the moment the landlady saw Xiao Yu, her pupils dilated, she screamed in horror, threw down the pet dog in her arms and ran away.

"Wow!"

After the pet dog lost its owner, it did not chase after its owner, it put on a defensive posture and kept barking at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu only felt depressed, could it be that his life had been ruined to the point that he didn't even want to see a pet dog.

"Wang!"

However, the moment he wanted to close the door, the pet dog roared, pounced quickly, bit Xiao Yu's hand hard, and ran away. Although his hands were bleeding, Xiao Yu didn't feel any pain, and he was even a little numb and didn't want to get a rabies vaccine, he just wanted to close the door quietly. Xiao Yu walked to the head of the bed and took out a relic made of unknown metal material, which was also the only relic left to him when his parents died. It was an ancient and mysterious pendant, shaped like the pupils of an unknown and mysterious creature. After squinting his eyes, Xiao Yu sat at the head of the bed and looked at the mirror on the old wardrobe, he wanted to see if he had really become what the landlady said. I saw that the person in the mirror was short in stature, with an ordinary face, and a black mole on the corner of his mouth and chin, except for his facial features, and his pupils inherited the characteristics of his own figure, this kind of appearance was useless in the crowd. Especially now, the face in the mirror suddenly changed greatly, becoming pale and withered, the eye circles were black, languid and haggard, and there were a few mysterious black lines on the forehead, and the whole body was as thin as a skeleton.

"Holy, is this me, isn't it my ......"

Seeing that it was not his original self at all in the mirror, but was replaced by someone else's terrifying appearance like a devil, Xiao Yu, who was already in a state of mind, was frightened by himself. However, suddenly something even stranger happened in the silent dark room. Listening to only a voice that seemed to come from the ancient Nine Shadows made Xiao Yu feel creepy, and when he looked around, there was not even a ghost in the room except for himself.

"Who's it, don't make a fuss, come out for me!

”

"You Can't See Me"

“……”

Xiao Yu felt that this should be someone playing a prank on him. But thinking that his life has failed like this, his relatives are lost, his friends are separated, it is not much better than death, who would be so boring to trick himself? Thinking about my current situation, even if I encounter ghosts, what could be worse than this? Thinking like this, Xiao Yu calmed down. He carefully analyzed the source of the voice, and then tried to say, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

The magic voice sounded again: "Whether it is a human or a ghost, you can tell from your heart!" ”

Xiao Yu finally figured out where the sound came from this time, and found that it was from the ancient and mysterious pendant he was holding. So, Xiao Yu picked up the pendant and looked at it horizontally in front of him, and the picture reflected in the pendant's magic pupil was indeed still the appearance of the person who was not a person, a ghost or a ghost, but Xiao Yu knew very well in his heart that this was not his original appearance at all, although he looked average and was still a mixed-race, but it was not so ugly.

Since the supernatural happened, Xiao Yu was also fearless, so he said to the pendant demon pupil: "Who are you?" Unexpectedly, the self in the picture actually spoke: "I am you!" ”

Xiao Yu didn't know if the answer in the picture was a counterword, and said: "Then you tell me, am I poor and short now?" ”

The magic pupil replied: "You are rich and handsome!" ”

People often say that the self in the mirror is all the opposite, Xiao Yu thought: "Damn, what is said in the picture is not the opposite, but it is enough stinky fart!" But then doubts arose, Xiao Yu said: "Why do you say that I am rich and handsome, with my current situation, isn't this a dream?" ”

The magic pupil replied: "What is the difference between dreams and reality, as long as you want to, you can achieve it?" ”

Xiao Yu pressed the wound that had been bitten by the dog before, and couldn't help but feel pain, it felt very painful, and the blood flowed out again. But the strange thing is that the blood did not drip to the ground, but was absorbed by the demon pupil.

Xiao Yu was shocked: "What's going on, are you sucking my blood?" ”

The Demon Pupil replied: "It is the spiritual will energy contained in your blood that activates the residual power contained in the Demon Pupil Pendant!" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head: "This is not scientific, now is a modern scientific and technological society, how can there be such gods and monsters!" The magic pupil replied: "The power in the universe is infinitely mysterious, when you master it, you can evolve everything at will, you think it is a product of science and technology, that is, you think it is a mythical product, that is also!" ”

Xiao Yu was silent, he carefully savored the voice from the demon pupil again, it felt as cold as a machine, like an intelligent program, and like a mythical demon.

So Xiao Yu said to the Demon Pupil again: "What kind of product are you, virtual artificial intelligence, or an alien technological creation?" The magic pupil replied: "No, this is the power of creation from your subconscious, the virtual is the reality, and the creation is the real!" ”

Xiao Yu pondered and said, "Is the play like life, and life like the play?" ”

The magic pupil replied: "Master the power, your life is a game, and a game is life, fantasy is reality, dreams are real, and it can be converted at any time!" Xiao Yu figured it out and said, "How can I master this power?" ”

The Demon Pupil replied: "Sacrifice spiritual power and sign a contract of coexistence!" ”

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, thinking about his current situation, he didn't seem to have much choice.

In order to master the power, in order to be strong, in order to fulfill the last wishes left by his relatives, even if he gives everything, even if he sells his soul to the devil, he will not hesitate to do anything, he has the courage to break the boat.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu did not hesitate at all and nodded in agreement.

Following the instructions of the Demon Pupil, using blood as a sacrifice, soul binding as a medium, and the soul as a window, he signed a coexistence contract with this ancient and mysterious pendant with a demonic power.

When the contract was completed, I saw that the Demon Pupil Pendant suddenly bloomed with a blazing light, and the dark rental room was reflected as if it was day, and then gradually became a white particle that seemed to be illusory, surrounding Xiao Yu.

Immediately, the extreme light disappeared in an instant, and the rental house fell into darkness again.
