Butterfly, 10 years old.

"Die, mom has found a job, don't you go out, wait for me to come back at home, okay?"

"Hmm. ”

After her father's death, all the expenses of daily life were pressed on her mother, but because of Butterfly's relationship, she had to look for a job far away from home, the slum is not large, and once others find out, she will be dismissed, and usually she will not work for long.

Butterfly waits for her to come back at home every day, she doesn't dare to go out again, she doesn't care about other people's strange eyes, but she doesn't want to cause trouble for her mother anymore, the move has made her mother physically and mentally exhausted, and her gray hair is getting more and more day by day, but her symptoms not only do not show any signs of improvement, but even get more and more serious, even if she doesn't go out, it will affect the outside, the only good thing is probably that no one has ever come to them again.

Butterfly was so scared that she locked herself in her room, hiding under her bed, in the closet, and even committed suicide, maybe this way her mother would live a easier life.

"What are you doing?!" the woman screamed hysterically, she was really on the verge of breaking down, she took the butterfly in her arms and threw away the bloodied knife in her hand.

“......”

"Don't do it again, okay?"

"Hmm. ”

Butterfly, fourteen years old.

She sat on the edge of her mother's bed, witnessing that she had lost her breath, and that she was finally the only one left in the house.

"I'll just say, this family is not a good thing, the daughter is a monster, the father is a drunkard who doesn't pay his debts, and the mother heard that she is a prostitute, and she wears heavy makeup every day, and it is cheaper than others to collect money, even if she is still a little self-aware. ”

"It's good to be able to receive customers, but it's disgusting to go out and sell at such an old age. ”

"Blame anyone, it's all fate, who made them give birth to a monster. ”

"Don't talk about it, in case that monster hears ......"

"Hey, what are you doing...... Ahh

Butterfly walked out of the room, there was nothing left to take care of, and walked all the way, covered with corpses.

"What are you going to do?"

Butterfly did not speak, and in the vision, the owner of the brothel became a prostitute, and every day she was picking up customers for a living, contracting diseases, dying in pain, and her eyes gradually lost their brilliance.

None of the people in the entire brothel were spared, she had to make these people pay the price, and she was buried with her mother, the soldiers of the North Wind City did not care about her, and the people sent by Lingwan to investigate also did not return, and before they could get close to her, they fell under the sword spell of their companions.

At the burial place, human heads were placed in front of the tomb, their fear, ridicule, forever fixed on their faces, this was the only thing that could be done, she knelt in front of the tomb, let the biting wind and rain wet her clothes, and no one seemed to dare to disturb her again.

She gouged out her eyes with a knife, her face was covered with wounds, the blood had long since stopped, the wounds were white from the rain, and every time she killed someone, she cut a wound on her face, and at this moment it was unrecognizable like a demon.

"The terrifying demon in the world's mouth turned out to be just a little girl. ”

"Are you here to kill me?"

"I'm here to save you. ”

"You're not afraid?"

"I'm a lot old, I'm afraid of a little girl, isn't it a shame to say it, come with me, they won't embarrass you anymore. ”

"I've killed so many people, why are you saving me. ”

"If you kill someone and you deserve to die, then wouldn't the king of this country have died a long time ago, I don't want to lie to you, I saved you just because I was a little curious about your power, as for the life and death of these people, in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with me, people in this world will die every day, and people will be born every day, this is a kind of cycle, there is nothing to care about, isn't it?"

"It's nothing to worry about. For the first time in her life, she smiled.

But as the man said, he was only interested in Butterfly's power, and since then, Butterfly's world has changed from his own room to a room deep on the seventh floor of the Lingwan Medical Area, and many spirit arrays have been engraved to prevent her from getting out of control.

From coming every day, to once a week, once a month, or even once every six months.

Butterfly is getting more and more lonely, but she still persists, for the sake of the old man, and she promises not to leave or die until she collapses.

To this day, Butterfly, seventeen years old.

For three years, a long period of malnutrition, she still looked like a little girl, she did not grow any taller, she never left the room for half a step, and the only thing that accompanied her was a puppet and a music box.

But the old man hadn't been here for a long time, maybe he didn't need himself anymore, the only reason for existence was lost, and there was nothing left to be nostalgic about in this world.

The memory comes to an abrupt end, depressed and sad, lonely and lost, without a smile.

The gray and white butterfly dispersed from Xiao Shu's body and re-condensed into the form of a butterfly, a nightmare was about to wake up, and death was the relief.

"What qualifications do you have to say that I'm running away? I only have misfortune in life, I am unfortunate myself, and the people around me are also unfortunate, no one needs me, and I don't need anyone to save me, do you understand?"

Butterfly said with a smile that she could restore her appearance in the illusion, and she could manipulate other people's memories at will, but she was powerless to forget.

As if he had experienced it himself, loneliness and loss still lingered in his heart, Xiao Shu was silent, in the face of this pain, language seemed pale and powerless, the happiness of life is always similar, but the unfortunate life is different.

"There is no meaning in this life, how hard and difficult, many people run around for a living, work hard day and night, do not know the taste of food, sleep peacefully, live like a walking corpse, life does not know why, death does not know why, when the end comes, but scolding fate, heaven is unfair. Xiao Shu said.

"Do you have a choice?" Butterfly asked rhetorically, if there is really a choice, she would rather not have this kind of damn power, and be an ordinary person with peace of mind, whether it is rich or poor, it is better than life and death at this moment.

"No one can influence your choice, since you have done your best in life, why care about the happiness and misfortune of others, you say you don't care, but if you really don't care, how can you be willing to be locked up here for three whole years, endure this kind of life, how can you think of dying to be free?" Xiao Shu said.

"So what?"

"I'll take you out, whether it's an illusion or a room that has locked you up for three years, I'll take you out. Xiao Shu said calmly, Butterfly's will to die all stems from loneliness and disapproval, coupled with her childhood experience, as well as the death of her parents, she feels that everything is her fault, and the only thing Xiao Shu can do is to find a way to get her out of this mentality.

"I don't care about your strength, I don't care how many people you've killed, fate is destined for this kind of thing, I always don't believe it, if you really bring misfortune, I'm looking forward to it, what kind of misfortune will I be?"

The butterfly's pupils shrank suddenly, and her mind fluctuated violently, so that the surrounding illusions began to become unstable.

"What if you go out?" Butterfly suppressed the tremor in her voice, but even then she still cried.

"Not good, but isn't it better than dying? You say you have no reason to live, so I'll give you one. Xiao Shu said with a smile.

"He won't agree. ”

"As I said, no one can control your choice, and the world is not only locked by doors and windows, but also mountains, plains, seas, and even the netherworld, fairyland, as long as you want, I will take you out to see. Xiao Shu could guess why he did this, but he couldn't agree with this approach, this was the second time that Yu had disappointed him.

Xiao Shu did this not only to save Rose and Mo Qiunian, but also to sympathize with the butterfly, the illusion presented was not even one percent of the pain in her heart, Xiao Shu could understand that loneliness, since Fang Jian's death, he has become alone, selflessness is by no means ruthless, not to the sad place.

Butterfly suddenly smiled, and it was a beautiful smile, the second time in her life that she laughed from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't lie to me, I'm vindictive. ”

The years in the illusion realm are only a blink of an eye in reality, but even so, the spiritual power absorbed by the surrounding spirit array has almost reached a critical point, sharp ice picks continue to pierce out from the wall, and the hot magma spreads under the feet, this is not an illusion, but a real spell.

Xiao Shu reacted very quickly, and with a turn of the Red Leaf Sword, he cut off the surrounding icicles, and stretched out his hand towards the butterfly, "I'll carry you." ”

Butterfly hesitated for a while, but still stretched out her hand, and was dragged by Xiao Shu, she grabbed Xiao Shu's neck in a little panic, leaned on his back, looked at his magma-covered feet and whispered, "Do you want me to help you?"

Xiao Shu hugged Mo Qiunian and Rose on the left and right, and his mind moved, and the Red Leaf Sword spontaneously protected his body, and those icicles were not close at all, but only this magma had spread to his calves, and the bed and chair were all melted, and the whole room was full of ice and fire.

"It's very painful, but it's still far away, the pain of life is much more painful than this, and the illusion can be deceived for a while, but it can't be deceived for a lifetime. Xiao Shu said without changing his face, he rejected Butterfly's kindness.

It's not just this room, the two sides of the corridor outside have been completely sealed with ice picks, forming a thick ice wall, and the magma on the ground is rising higher and higher, in order to take care of the three of them, Xiao Shu can hardly move an inch.

"How could it be...... He clearly told me......" Butterfly looked at the scene in front of her and was a little overwhelmed, the person had promised her that she would not implicate anyone else, but in her senses, there was no one alive in the entire building except them, not even a corpse left.

"Let's get out first. ”

"Can you get out?" Butterfly was not afraid of death, but if it dragged Xiao Shu down because of this, this was something she didn't want to see, and this person made her feel that she was real for the first time.

"You can get out. Xiao Shu said with a smile, even if the magma had spread to his knees at this moment, even if there were several more holes in his chest and thighs.
