Gu Wuji was in a daze, and the memory fragments that emerged in his mind became more and more profound.
…
A very beautiful child was sitting in a dimly lit room eating dinner. The entire room was lit only by flickering lights.
Sitting beside him were two adults, a man and a woman. Their complexions were abnormally pale, and their outstretched hands were a little stiff. The two of them were almost motionless, just sitting silently, showing a difficult smile to the child. The scene was so strange that anyone with a little common sense would realize that these two people were probably ghosts.
There was still a talent show on the TV next to it, but I didn't know if the signal was bad, the picture was very poor, and it distorted from time to time, making the people above look very weird.
But the child didn't realize it, just like a child in an ordinary family, telling his parents about what happened at school. Of course, he didn't say that he was treated as a monster by other classmates, but he still looked a little lonely.
Originally with such good looks, he shouldn't be despised like this, but all the strange things about him are doomed to this ending that cannot be accepted by others.
The smiles on the faces of the parents became a little more natural now. The mother reached out her hand and touched the child's head with difficulty, making a slightly hoarse and helpless voice, "Good boy, everyone will love you."
"Really?" The child couldn't help but speak, his eyes seemed to be flickering, and his tone was a little hesitant, as if he was looking forward to it but couldn't believe it, "But if you get close to me, others will be hurt..."
"It doesn't matter, you will definitely become... as dazzling as those stars on TV. Even if others are afraid to approach you, they will definitely be happy because of you."
The child nodded knowingly. But no matter what, from that time on, he has set the most important goal of his life.
The screen slowly darkened.
That's right, he doesn't have any more distant memory, but he has lived in this place since the beginning. At that time, everything around him was very strange. Yes, his parents were ghosts.
But even so, Gu Wuji never noticed this when he was young, or he didn't care about these things at all. For him, the boundaries between ghosts and humans are too blurred, it is better to say that ghosts are more friendly Some.
There are too many weird places. For example, my mother has never been out, her body is always cold, my father only appears late at night every day, and there are other situations. It is probably the kind of plot that is directly used to shoot horror movies. . But they still take care of Gu Wuji well, just like real human parents, and their faces look no different from ordinary humans.
Gu Wuji doesn't know if they are his biological parents, but there is no doubt that he regards them as the most important people in his heart. They have had too much influence on him, and they must be very good when he is alive. people.
Then the screen turned again.
It was in a remote corner of the community, and when I was young, Gu Wu was doing nothing to draw on the ground with a branch.
No one else wants to play with him, so he can only use this kind of thing as a pastime.
Then a faint mist seemed to spread around, and the black mist wrapped the branches and drew on the side.
Gu Wuji raised his head in surprise. His playmate was a shadow that was surrounded by black mist and couldn't see his figure. He was about the same height as him, like a dark child.
"You finally came out, I'm going to be bored to death, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Gu Wuji said, subconsciously a little coquettish in his tone, obviously their relationship is extremely close, "Come and come with me. Play."
The shadow nodded, and the branches drew a small figure on the ground, which was vivid and vivid, and at a glance it could be seen that it was Gu Wuji in front of him.
Gu Wuji couldn't help but marveled, and then naturally took the other's hand, even if the hand he touched didn't look like a living person at all, he didn't care, and then he added a crooked beside the villain with great interest. The little black man with a dazzling smile, "I'll draw you too!"
The black shadow paused for a while, looking at the pattern on the ground in front of him, and moved cautiously for a while, as if he was afraid of destroying the pattern.
At this time, there was a loud noise from behind, and the shadow immediately disappeared into Gu Wuji's body.
A few children came running from behind noisily, and their expressions changed when they saw Gu Wuji, a little scared and disgusted, "Why is this guy." "It's too bad, let's go quickly." "I heard that there is an abandoned factory nearby, which is very interesting. Let's go there and take a look."
"What's there to be afraid of this guy is so thin!" A child came up boldly and wanted to do something to Gu Wuji.
When the other children saw this, they couldn't control it, and they rushed over to teach a lesson to the person who gave them a psychological shadow.
Of course, the ending is tragic, and even if they all come up, they can't deal with it. One by one, they all ran away crying, and the original pattern on the ground was only a mess, and it was completely erased.
Gu Wuji couldn't help being a little frustrated, and he didn't want to hurt these children if he could.
Black shadows emerged, and looking at the scattered children and the patterns that had disappeared on the ground, the surrounding black energy seemed to be a little richer.
But at this moment, a hand suddenly held his, Gu Wuji turned his head to look over, he seemed to realize something, and said, "Don't worry about these people, let's go home."
The shadow finally nodded and disappeared into Gu Wuji's body.
…
Yes, Gu Wuji remembered.
The one who occupied the most memories of his childhood was that playmate.
It was also an existence that had been by his side since he was conscious, and usually hardly appeared, but Gu Wuji could clearly feel that the other party existed in his body. And that existence would occasionally emerge from the black fog and play with Gu Wuji.
He is Gu Wuji's best friend. He seems to know everything about Gu Wuji. He always knows what to do to make Gu Wuji happiest and never makes him feel bored... At that time, of course he was Gu Wuji's favorite person.
But if Gu Wuji played with other children, those people would definitely hit ghosts that night, and then they would be greatly frightened. Naturally, no one wanted to play with Gu Wuji again, and even regarded him as a monster. But if these people dare to point fingers at Gu Wuji or come forward to humiliate them, a more terrible ending will await them.
If things go on like this, there will be no living friends without any consideration, and everyone is afraid to avoid him. But he doesn't care about this kind of thing. Maybe this kind of life can be maintained normally until that happens...
Maybe it's because Gu Wuji hasn't been to the abandoned factory, so he can't remember what happened in it. But that extremely painful feeling came to his mind, and even made him feel a sense of fear and resistance to the existence in his body, which was never before.
"What happened in the abandoned factory in the past?"
Before that, Sombra was just a very close friend of his. Not at all like someone who would do terrible things. And he also remembered that the man was a child who wanted to bully him when he was a child, but was beaten and cried by himself in the end.
After that, the picture of memory emerged again, and the time period of this memory was probably after the abandoned factory.
This time, it was completely different from the previous two scenes. In the dark room, the child could only sit on the ground, hugging his body and trembling.
In front of him were two ghosts dripping with blood. The two ghosts who should have been called his parents have now fallen to the ground tremblingly, their bodies are almost twisted, it is difficult to maintain their human shape, and they are full of a terrible and strange feeling.
But to the children, they were still their own parents, the people closest to them, and he wanted to go up and hold their trembling hands.
But in the next instant, the black mist spread throughout the room. The ghosts of their parents encountered something terrifying, their bodies stiffened, and then the black mist slowly devoured their bodies as if tormenting people, and terrifying mourning sounded continuously in the house.
"Dad, Mom..." The child nervously wanted to approach, but was restrained by the black mist, and his hands were stretched out from nowhere to block his vision.
The voice of the pair of two ghosts who were extremely cold and soothing at this moment, "Don't look at it."
"How is that possible! What have you done to them?!"
"They just didn't perform their duties well." The shadow said softly, but his voice was very cold, "They didn't protect you well, in this case, there is no need to stay in this world."
"No, no! You don't hurt them!"
The child prayed to his favorite playmate, but he no longer responded to his requests as he used to.
"Then you just forget about it. When you wake up, it's over."
Before the child completely lost consciousness, all he saw was the black mist that completely covered everything.
…
…
Gu Wuji's forehead began to ache, he covered his head and opened his eyes with difficulty.
That was the past he remembered. It's all because of his fault, because of the existence that resides in him. Only then did the father's ghost disappear directly, and the mother's ghost also became that incomplete, even reduced to the lowest level of ghosts, existing in this world only by instinct.
And after he left here, everything, so his memories, were deliberately guided by others, making him think that everything was fine, that he was just an ordinary person who was only easy to get in touch with ghosts.
But in fact, there is a more terrifying existence in his body than the dungeon boss.
When Gu Wuji's vision became clear, what caught his eye was the black fog that existed in his nightmare.
"It can't go on like this. I didn't protect the people around me in the past, this time I will definitely-"
