"Who are you?"

The red-haired girl asked, although she couldn't see Xiao Shu, but this room or even the entire building couldn't escape her senses, even if there was an extra ant in this room, she could detect it.

"Let them go. ”

Xiao Shu Hongye Sword in his hand, pointing at the red-haired girl, Rose and Mo Qiunian were fainting on the ground, their breath was getting weaker and weaker, obviously trapped in an illusion and unable to extricate themselves, and in a few moments, they were afraid that they would die on the spot.

"You can do it, I won't resist. The red-haired girl smiled, not afraid of Xiao Shu's killing intent for half a minute, she was more afraid of loneliness than death.

"You could have killed them a long time ago, and waited for me to come just to die?"

Xiao Shu asked calmly, a stone's throw away, as long as he wanted to, he could kill her with his hand, but what would happen to Rose and Mo Qiunian after killing her, Xiao Shu didn't know, so he didn't rush to do it.

"I just want to see what they've been through, and if I don't do it, they won't live long. The red-haired girl said with a smile, and at this moment, light patterns gradually appeared on the surrounding walls, outlining something.

"Spirit Circle?"

Xiao Shu's heart tightened, the spirit array that appeared in front of him was not the same as the one that usually released the spell, and the spiritual power gathered was also beyond imagination, it was impossible for the girl in front of him to cast it temporarily, only it could be that it was engraved here early in the morning, and it was triggered at this time.

With such a huge amount of spiritual power, once it exploded, let alone the unconscious Rose and Mo Qiunian, even Xiao Shu would find it difficult to retreat with his whole body, but instead he calmly got up, put away the sword in his hand, sat on the side of her bed, and said calmly, "I don't know what you've experienced, but once you're dead, there's really nothing." ”

"So what? I don't care. The red-haired girl retorted solemnly.

"Do you know what he went through in the autumn year? his parents were killed, he almost died, and the family was left with only himself and his sister, knowing who the enemy was, but there was nothing he could do, and he was still being hunted down, but even so, he still did not choose to die. Xiao Shu didn't care and continued.

"I saw it, but I didn't care. ”

"Of course you don't care, you have chosen to escape, you don't dare to face it, Qiu Nian always says that he is a waste, but in my opinion, he is not only not a waste, but even much stronger than many people, the real waste is like you, as long as you fall once, you can never get up again, self-pity, thinking about death all day long, and blaming all the fault on others. Xiao Shu sneered.

"What did you say?!"

The red-haired girl was stunned, no one had ever dared to say anything to her like this, they were all afraid of angering themselves, and even stayed away, Xiao Shu was still the first person who dared to count her down in person.

"No need to try, it's useless. Xiao Shu said without changing her face, her strength is indeed terrifying, but Rose and Mo Qiunian can't resist, it doesn't mean that he Xiao Shu can't do anything, this level of illusion is not enough to confuse him.

The girl was silent, even if Lingwan's teacher was willing on weekdays, as long as she wanted, she could still let her fall into an illusion without knowing it, control her five senses, life and death were all in one thought, but the person in front of her, she couldn't do it, no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't do it, this sense of powerlessness made her feel a little helpless for the first time in her life.

"I can't help you, but why should I let them go?" the red-haired girl chuckled, she didn't care anymore, the spirit array was about to be formed, and everything would turn to ashes.

"You won't do this, you're just begging for death, the corpses and blood outside are just illusions, you haven't really killed anyone, have you?" Xiao Shu said calmly, except for Doctor Qiu, no one really died, they all just fell into an illusion, and the intention was very clear, just to scare away the unsuspecting.

"So what!?"

The red-haired girl was angry, the shame of being exposed made her emotions fluctuate, and the invisible power spread around her, and the whole room suddenly changed, the walls began to peel off, the ground beneath her feet turned to ashes, and the whole world turned upside down in this instant, and the blood-red rain fell from her feet towards the sky, and she lost control.

"What else do you want to say? I'll give you time. ”

The red-haired girl tilted her head and said, she stood in front of Xiao Shu, the bandage that wrapped her head was gone, her pale face as white as snow did not look like a living person, there was no time in the illusion, a second in the outside world could be a moment, or it could be forever, and she was the master here.

"I often wonder why some people always think that death is a kind of liberation? There is no predicament in this world that cannot be extricated, only death, and there is really no return. ”

Xiao Shu was not hostile to the girl in front of him, because this strange illusion was caused by some pain, and it might be a better choice to try to understand her than to kill her with a sword.

Maybe Xiao Shu didn't sacrifice himself like Zhang Daoquan, but if he could save it, he wouldn't choose to stand by, even if he was afraid of trouble, but he always had a clear conscience.

"Why? you all want me dead, why do you want me to do it now?" the red-haired girl asked incomprehensibly, except for the person who sent her, everyone who knew of her existence wished they had died sooner, or even drugged.

Of course, it's not a poison, it's just a kind of messy herbs ground into powder and mixed with food, bitter and astringent, some are difficult to swallow, some make people drowsy, some make people nauseous, but they are forced to be hungry and can't stop eating, and this life lasts for a long time, like hell.

Now everything is as they wanted, she gave up, but at this time, someone stood up to persuade her, she only felt funny, and the mood swings made her thoughts appear one after another.

The girl couldn't stand the hunger, swallowed the food, but after a while, she vomited completely, vomiting all over the ground, she curled up in the corner of the wall weakly, powerless to change anything, whenever she was angry out of control, a spiritual array would appear on the surrounding walls, suppressing her power, but who could blame her, everything was voluntary.

"They treat you like this, why do you want to stay here, and would rather die than leave?"

Xiao Shu didn't understand a little, these illusions presented a life that a normal person should have at all, since he couldn't bear it, why was he voluntarily locked up here, he believed that if it wasn't voluntary, no one would be able to force her at all.

"Do you want to know?" the girl's tone was calm, creepy.

"I just wanted to help you. Xiao Shu looked directly into her eyes, and said without hesitation, whether it was to save Mo Qiunian and Rose or to save this poor girl.

"Butterfly, my name"

Her cheeks peeled off, her neck, arms, and clothes were all turned into ashes and scattered, but if you look closely, it is not ashes, but gray-white butterflies, flying towards Xiao Shu, the heart that she thought she had died a long time ago seems to have a trace of embers, even if she has given up, but when she thinks that maybe no one will remember her at all, there is always some loss.

Xiao Shu did not resist, and let these butterflies fall on his body, turning into long red hair, pale face, and girl's dress, and the scene in front of him was gradually changing, countless ashes gathered together, turning into chairs, beds, roofs, and ...... Dim lights.

Butterfly, seven years old, inside a house in the slums of the City of North Winds.

"What are you talking about? she's our daughter, how can you ......?"

"She's just a monster, she's not my daughter! You see, I can't live a day now, I knew I should have fallen to death in the first place!" the man rudely pushed the woman away, and no matter how much the butterfly cried and pleaded, he still tied her hands and feet firmly with a thick linen rope.

"Why...... Why?" Butterfly struggled to break free, but was slapped in the face by the man's backhand, and the blood at the corner of her mouth stunned her.

"Why? You tell me why, why I didn't give birth to a son, but a daughter? Why can't you be a normal woman, I still expect you to look prettier in the future and marry a wealthy nobleman, but what about you?

"Don't drink any more, the family has run out of money for a long time, where are you going at such a late hour?" the woman grabbed her.

"Get out, drink some wine and take care of you? I can go wherever I like. ”

"You ......"

"Bang"

The bottle smashed directly into the woman's head, smashing a bloody hole on her forehead, and the dizziness made her unable to stand anymore and fell in front of the butterfly.

"A monster, a waste, I know all day long, give Lao Tzu some memory!" The man ignored it, threw away the finished wine bottle casually, and staggered out.

"I'm sorry...... It's all my fault......" Butterfly said dumbfoundedly, she was indeed a monster, even she thought so, it was all because of her.

No matter how hard she tries, she can't control her strength, I don't know when it started, except for her parents, as long as she said a word to others, even if she looked at each other, the other party would go crazy and collapse, and over time, others began to alienate their family, her father lost her job and began to drink heavily, and her mother also lived in white eyes and ridicule all year round.

"It's not your fault...... You're just sick, you're going to get better, you're going to be fine......" The woman struggled to restrain her trembling voice and smiled at Butterfly.

The rain continued without stopping, and my father never came back, and the next day I heard that he was dead outside, his hands and feet were broken, and he died on the way back.

Butterfly asks herself, if she wasn't a monster, maybe her father wouldn't have lost his job, wouldn't have drunk himself, and wouldn't have fallen to this point......
