“Lad, you came back too late. The kitchen stove’s fire was already put out. Now the food’s cold. If you want to reignite the fire, you have to pay more.”
Oldman Gen just smiled, and Yan Chu answered with a bright smile too.
“You don’t have to worry, Uncle, I’m not hungry. You can rest assured, I’ll give you the money for dinner tonight.”
Yan Chu understood what the other side meant. He just wanted more money. He did not eat dinner tonight, but his family cooked his portion. Therefore, this money had to give as requested.
Although Oldman Gen lost his money to the other party for not having dinner, he lost the money to reopen the fire. But he changed his mind and earned the man’s rations in the evening. He would get up the next morning and cook a pot of porridge with leftovers. His breakfast was only to go through the previous motions.
He opened his mouth and told Yan Chu that there was hot water in the kitchen, asked him to wipe his body, then he took his son back to their room, and Yan Chu also went to his room. After entering the door, he did not forget to insert the tip on the door handle.
He put down his backpack and opened the zipper. Except for the top layer of mushrooms, the bottom was full of white bones and carrion. He devoutly took out a brocade box from the climbing bag on the side of the Kang79Kanga heatable brick bed and put the white bones in one by one.
“Yinyin, I wronged you to live in this small house for the time being. When Big Brother finishes his matters, Brother will take you home. Our parents are looking forward to your coming home.”
He spoke to the girl beside him. The girl with feet floating seemed to think. Brother, father, mother, what were those things?
Gradually, it seemed that something was coming to her mind. Her horrible blood holes were bleeding with blood, and her ten fingers, as thin as chicken feet, tentatively touched Yan Chu’s arm. But she was only a soul, and could not touch his skin at all.
She took back her hand, and the blood in her eyes was more turbulent.
Emphatically it was not terrifying, but both miserable and sad.
Yan Chu packed up everything, took off his muddy clothes, and laid down on the Kang. He patted the position beside him. That little girl, covered with blood, was blankly stared at. She floated to the Kang with a stiff body and imitated him, laid beside him.
Yan Chu was exhausted. He closed his eyes. The little girl looked at him for a long time until he slept, to secretly and quietly rub his head.
Her originally blood-hole-like eyes disappeared. What beautiful eyes they were. Yan Chu’s expression was full of attachment and nostalgia, as well as deep sorrow.
She closed her eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye. When she opened her eyes again, she returned to her first horrible appearance.
It was just that she still kept this movement. One person and one ghost snuggle up to each other like this. It seemed that no one could separate them.
“Host No.17, you’re too deeply influenced by the original self’s memory. I’ve to remind you to think about what your mission is this time.”
Yan Chu’s body fell asleep, but his spirit was active in the space of consciousness.
The disappearing unpredictably system floated in front of him. It looked at the host that always made it very worry-free. It had a headache for the first time in history.
“I know what I’m doing*24doing*from 干 [gàn] that can mean as to do or to f*ck (vulgar). Don’t you think people who do wrong should get the punishment they deserve?”
Yan Chu’s smile was particularly brilliant. At this time, he had a bit of a crazy demon temperament, but his expression was calm and relaxed as if everything he did now was under his control.
The system’s mechanical eyes took a profound look at him. It only hoped that he indeed knew what he was doing.
This time, the mission could be said to be both very simple and very difficult, because this time, two people were wishing.
The original self and Yan Yin were a pair of siblings who were very close to each other. The younger sister, Yan Yin, was 16 years old. She was good-looking and had good grades. She jumped several levels when she was studying. This year, she just finished the college entrance examination.
The original self was a fourth-year student at a medical university, and 23 years old this year. Initially, the two siblings agreed, when the college entrance examination results came out to fulfill their wishes, the younger sister, Yan Yin, would apply to the university where her older brother was. They would study together, went to the same hospital, and stayed in the same city.
Their parents were born in the countryside and just a very ordinary couple. They worked in a factory with a small salary every month. It was their biggest pride to teach such a pair of excellent children. Although the family lived a miserable but upright life, they were happy, just like the epitome of an ordinary family all over the world.
Unfortunately, an accident happened that changed their lives.
Yan Yin disappeared on her graduation trip with her classmates. Other students returned safely, Yan Yin was the only one missing. They all said that Yan Yin had come back first after leaving the team, and they did not know Yan Yin’s whereabouts.
Her mobile phone could not get through, and various kinds of contact methods could not reach her. Father Yan and Mother Yan were completely crazily worried.
At that time, Yan Chu was a crucial period for preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. His parents did not let him know and were afraid of affecting him. When he learned the news of his younger sister’s disappearance, he also received information about his parents’ car accident and death.
Father Yan and Mother Yan did not know from where they seemingly heard that their family’s daughter had been seen. The couple immediately drove their cheap second-hand car on the road. But before they got to the place, they had a car accident on the road. The truck driver was responsible for drunk driving and compensated 600,000 to the Yan family.
The original self kept that compensation from the driver’s family and found blankly that his parents died, and his younger sister disappeared. He unexpectedly became a lonely man.
He applied to the school for suspension, took his family’s savings and his parents’ compensation, and began to embark on the road to find his younger sister because that was his only family member and pillar of his life.
He went to find classmates who had been traveling with his younger sister. He repeatedly searched until he felt tired of looking for those people. One of them sent him an address anonymously, letting him end up in that place to look for her. Maybe he could find someone.
That place was Li County, where this small mountain village was located, just on the edge of a dam.
He had been lurking in this small county for a year. He had also figured out this impoverished county’s dirty secrets, which were not known to anyone in the city. He knew that his younger sister was not to go out of mishap, perhaps death was better than life in the corner of the ravine.
At that time, he did not know that his younger sister was dead.
He pretended to be a tourist and began to appear in different villages. Until one time, in a game room at the foot of the mountain, he saw someone taking his younger sister’s small gold bean necklace as a bargaining chip, and then he indeed found her.
He followed the gambler to Wude Village, but there was no his younger sister here.
Then, he sneaked into the mountains. He only appeared in the village at night. He leaned against the doors and windows, listening to the villagers. He pieced together his younger sister’s experience and then went crazy.
This village was too sinful, and everyone was an accomplice to his younger sister’s death. He poisoned only a few wells in that village, where all bathing, cooking, and drinking water came from those. Within a day, all the people in there who had drunk water died. The only few who had not drunk water were also cut into the mire by Yan Chu with a hatchet and a knife.
He thought, when his younger sister died, he was more desperate than them.
He killed men and women. Some of them were abducted here. Some of them turned from victims to perpetrators because of hate, but some of them were innocent. They were the same victims as Yan Yin.
He killed children, boys, girls, newborn infants, also seven or eight years old children. They all drank well water. In the original self’s view, these people would grow up to become demons like their parents, so he just strangled everything in the cradle.
He was crazy, totally insane.
It was not enough to kill the whole village alone. The original self believed the traffickers should die. The students who went out with his younger sister should die too.
They precisely knew where his younger sister disappeared, perhaps knew what had happened to her, but did not know why. No one told their parents about it, and they all pretended not to know. His younger sister would not have died if it was not for them.
Those people were sinners and demons.
He waited in the village for six days, because he knew that those traffickers should send their new daughters-in-law again according to the agreement. In that village, he killed six traffickers who had brought people. When he was about to attack the bought girls, he thought of his younger sister, and then suddenly, he was reluctant to start.
He killed so many people, which the three girls saw. He should have killed them.
He was still soft-hearted. He left enough food for them and locked them in a room with chains. It just happened to make them unable to get out of the door. When the people at the foot of the mountain came up, they would be saved.
Then he put on his clean clothes and went down the mountain, back to his hometown, looking for companions who went out with his younger sister.
Those people deserved to die too.
Nine people. He killed six of them. He got arrested before he could start again. Those girls on the mountain rescued earlier than he planned. He was exposed.
The policeman was holding a gun, and his knife was facing the seventh of the nine individuals.
Bang, the gun went off, and his knife went into the other side’s heart.
This story was just a little episode in the life of the male and female lead roles. Fortunately, they were the eighth and ninth of Yan Yin’s nine classmates who traveled together.
After the original self got killed, their two families moved home. They gradually forgot this sad past. They forgot the girl named Yan Yin and the devil named Yan Chu. Because of this tribulation, they realized the importance of each other and lived happily together.
Yan Yin was one of the two clients of this mission.
Her wish was quite simple. She hoped that her older brother would be good and not take revenge. He had a great and bright future. It was not worth destroying everything for her.
The second client was the original self, and his wish was in line with his obsession before his death.
Revenge, kill the last two who escaped.
Because there were no two wishers in one mission, this was a systematic accident, so Yan Chu could choose one of them to complete.
As long as he chose the first mission, followed the life path of a medical student, and became a competent doctor, his task would be completed, which was unprecedentedly relaxed, even less problem than the novice world.
Unfortunately, Yan Chu decidedly did not think like that.
