Ji Changze stood on a busy street, looking at a step in a daze.
How does it feel to personally erase your own existence
He couldn't describe it either.
There are only four words: It doesn’t hurt anyway.
"I heard that erasing a person's existence before would cause pain to that person. The rumors are wrong."
A sweet voice came from his arms: "Meow~"
Halfway through the meow, the voice froze.
Because it is the host's main world, the system professionally chose a recently deceased host to show respect.
A newborn kitten.
A system that is used to cold mechanical sounds is not used to this delicate little milky sound.
Soon, a familiar voice sounded in Ji Changze's mind:
[That was five hundred years ago. Now the erasure of the headquarters is painless. It can be done in one second. You deserve it.]
"This is a familiar advertising slogan."
Ji Changze was amused.
He gently touched the little kitten: "You are wronged by following me as a host. You are stingy and stingy, and you never buy props."
The system meowed.
Quite generous: "You don't have to save points from now on, just buy more props."
Ji Changze's smile deepened and he sat on the step holding the cat.
"It turns out that you can see the river view across the way from sitting here. I didn't know that before."
The system turned over in his arms with great effort:
[Host, are you returning to this time just to erase your own existence? Why don't you go back to your parents? Don’t you really want to go back?]
"Isn't this the only time I can go back to the timeline I left?"
Ji Changze petted his cat and looked at the people coming and going in front of him:
"There is nothing you can do to change my past. This is the only way that is good for everyone."
"System, do you remember? When you first found me, I was sitting here."
The system recalled it, and the mechanical voice answered seriously:
[Remember, you cried and shed a lot of tears.]
"Yeah, a lot of tears were shed."
Ji Changze rarely thinks about his past when doing tasks.
But he never forgot.
At the beginning, he was also a very happy child.
He was born in a small village, the only son of his parents, and the only male grandchild in the family.
Since childhood, Ji Changze has grown up with the love of his parents.
The village is not big, very small, but everyone in the village knows each other well. Although there are occasional quarrels and quarrels, the uncles and aunts are very tolerant to the children.
Ji Changze is smart and has been the king of children since he was five years old.
In his carefree childhood, he lived a very happy life, playing outside every day. Occasionally he caught fish and brought some back to his parents to eat. If he could get another bird's nest, he would laugh out loud in his dreams at night.
His parents were just ordinary peasants, but when people in the village told him that Ji Changze looked smart, they thought of sending him to school.
During the off-season, his father would go to the town to work as a part-time worker to earn money, and his mother would do embroidery work in her spare time. Grandpa and grandma Nagaze also nodded in agreement to the story of the two of them earning money to raise their son.
Although they did not separate the family, they agreed that their son and daughter-in-law would save money for their grandson's education.
If nothing else goes wrong, Ji Changze will start studying with the full support of his parents. With his intelligence and good brain, he will pass the exam smoothly.
But the accident happened.
Ji Changze is really good-looking. At such a young age, he looks like a boy under the Guanyin Seat, making people fall in love with him.
He went to a temple fair with his parents, and Guaizi remembered it.
With a look like this, if it were sold, it would definitely fetch a high price.
The kidnappers quietly followed them to the village and tried to trick Ji Changze out for the first time. However, Ji Changze noticed something was wrong and had to leave in a hurry.
After discovering that Ji Changze was not as easy to deal with as other children, they changed their strategy and grabbed him head-on.
Ji Changze had the habit of taking a nap. His mother sat at the door embroidering, and he slept in the house. His father usually did carpentry work in the yard so that he could be sent to the town to earn money.
The kidnappers studied for several days and found the right opportunity. They specially asked the most kind-hearted man and woman to pretend to be husband and wife and enter the yard claiming to be asking about relatives.
Ji Changze's father was a warm-hearted man. When he heard that they were looking for relatives, he immediately offered to take them with him.
The female kidnapper said she had sprained her ankle and was waiting for news in their yard.
After his father left with the male kidnapper, he told his mother that he wanted to go to the toilet and asked her to help him.
The kidnappers made careful arrangements, and her mother never imagined that someone could snatch her child in broad daylight, so she helped him along without any suspicion.
Because she felt inexplicably panicked, she couldn't help but come out and take a few glances.
As a result, we just happened to see Ji Changze being knocked unconscious and being hugged by a man before running away.
That day, she panicked and chased the kidnapper while asking for help. Everyone in the village who heard the noise came to help catch the kidnapper.
But the kidnappers had already found out the route, and the carriage was waiting outside. They got on the carriage and ran away.
Ji Changze's father and mother followed behind and chased them desperately, but could not outrun them. They watched the kidnapper's carriage and their children gradually disappear.
By the time the officials were informed and dispatched, the group of kidnappers had already disappeared.
The child was snatched away in front of them, and Ji Changze's parents fell into deep pain and self-blame.
They blamed themselves crazily. If they had not been deceived and left the yard, the child would not have been snatched away.
The two left their hometown and began to search for their son.
As for Ji Changze, as I said before, he had been smart since he was a child. When he woke up and found out that he had been abducted, he pretended to be frightened and waited for the kidnappers to relax their vigilance before trying to escape.
It's a pity that he is so young, how could he run away under the noses of seven or eight adults.
After he was captured, the kidnappers were afraid that he would really run away, so they simply fed him medicine every day and let him sleep all the way to his destination.
When it was time to sell people, Ji Changze was no longer drugged, and the kidnappers discovered that he was blind.
The dose of medicine was too heavy. He had several fevers during this period but no one noticed. He was so dizzy from the medicine that he couldn't tell. In the end, he didn't know which fever was caused.
Ji Changze's eyes were so blind.
The kidnappers didn't give up and called the doctor. The doctor also said that it didn't look good.
They were so angry that what they thought was a good thing fell into their hands, and they no longer dared to take action against Ji Changze.
Ji Changze pretended to be suddenly blind and panicked and did not dare to go anywhere, and planned to escape again.
This time he succeeded.
Those kidnappers never imagined that a five-year-old child could escape even if he was blind.
After Ji Changze ran out, he almost died several times because he couldn't see and had no experience in being a blind person.
Finally, a gangster picked him up from the puddle. Seeing how good-looking he was, he decided to accept him as his apprentice.
Ji Changze just became the gangster next to him.
He wanted to go home, and he kept crying in the middle of the night. The gangster had no choice but to take him to the government office. But Ji Changze had been to the town at most before. He didn't know the name of the village where he lived, or the names of his parents. What, I don’t know how long the kidnappers took him away.
He couldn't even see with his eyes, and even the possibility of looking around when he grew up and finding his hometown through the same pictures as when he was a child was gone.
He only knew that his name was Nagasawa.
It's no use either.
This is not modern, where you can spread the word by logging into the system or exposing yourself.
Finally, Ji Changze was carried back by the gangster.
The gangster is a lame, he is a blind man, and the two of them get along like this.
He gradually learned to speak nice words, make up lies, pretend to be innocent, deceive people's sympathy, and make a living by begging.
He grew up from a small liar to a big liar. At this time, he was no longer short of money, but he never had too much money.
Ji Changze leaned on a cane and sat on the steps begging every day.
He is good-looking, but his eyesight is blind. Even if he is begging, his money will always be several times the amount.
Ji Changze almost thought that his whole life would pass like this.
Otherwise, what else can we do
He is a blind man, and everything in this world is a threat to him.
He also can't trust people because he can't see that as long as the person he trusts has bad intentions, he may sign a contract of betrayal at any time.
That day, he saved a girl.
Ji Changze couldn't see with his eyes, but his ears were very good. He could hear what was happening through the sounds around him. At that time, the horse was frightened, and the girl's position was definitely going to be kicked by the horse.
He was in the right position and easily pulled the person over.
For Ji Changze, it was just a matter of convenience.
He didn't take it to heart.
Suddenly one day, the girl came to report and asked him to leave quickly.
The prefect's son is discussing a marriage. He is ugly and cruel in character. He has often robbed women of the people. This time, he fell in love with the daughter of the Huang family.
As a result, Miss Huang was not happy and spread the word that she would not marry him even if she married a beggar on the roadside.
These words were originally just an expression of determination.
But the prefect's son happened to pass by Ji Changze's place the next day and saw his appearance. He thought again and found that Miss Huang's house was nearby, so he immediately stamped the matter on Ji Changze.
Just let the news go out and prevent Ji Changze from having a good life.
Miss Huang was so shocked that she couldn't get out because she was being watched. She lay on the wall looking for help and saw the girl passing by.
The girl didn't expect that it was Ji Changze who came to report the news, and her original intention to help became more serious.
Disaster struck Ji Changze from the sky. He never dreamed that he would be targeted while sitting on the roadside begging.
But he also knew that the prefect might not be aware of his innocence.
But so what.
He was just a beggar. He was unhappy and stepped on him whenever he wanted.
Before Ji Changze left the city gate, the officers and soldiers wanted to take him back in the name of murder.
Even when I think about it now, it's all chaos.
He was a blind man, but he ran out of the city relying on his many years of connections and the cover of a gangster girl.
Originally it was just affected for no reason, so it would be better to live in another city.
The gangster handed him letters several times, saying it was okay and asking him to live somewhere else.
Ji Changze moved to another place. It was fine at first and he could live a good life.
But within a year, he stopped receiving letters from there.
How old were you at that time
It seems to be fifteen years old.
He was extremely immature. After panicking for a while, he fumbled and covered his face and went back to look for someone.
After asking people I knew before, I found out that after he escaped, the prefect could not catch anyone to vent his anger on, so he vented his anger on the gangster.
The gangster managed to resist, but he also fell ill. When the time came, he didn't send the letter because he was too sick to get out of bed.
The girl always came to visit. Her family was from an ordinary family, but the money she earned from sewing was used to make chicken soup for the gangster.
One day, she suddenly disappeared.
The family searched like crazy and couldn't find her. It was said that she had been abducted by a kidnapper. When she went out that day, she even said that she was going to give some food to the gangsters.
The gangster also searched for her, but failed to find her. Instead, her condition worsened and she couldn't get out of bed within a few days.
After Ji Changze came back, he took care of the gangster and asked someone to find out the whereabouts of the girl. When his busy feet were off the ground, his parents came to find him.
The parents had been looking for their son for ten years.
They have no direction or goal, so they can only wander aimlessly and look for places.
Fortunately, Ji Changze's name was still Changze. When he found this place, someone sounded like him, so he led them to see Ji Changze.
Of course, relatives are very happy to meet each other.
But soon Ji Changze discovered that his mother's eyesight was not very good, and his father's legs were failing. He dragged them to see a doctor. They were only thirty-one years old, but they had a lot of problems.
The doctor said that the bones in this body are worse than those in the fifty-year-old body.
Ji Changze couldn't see it, but he could feel his father's wrist touching a handful of bones.
The ten-year journey to find his son was not so easy. They also encountered robbers on the way. His father was stabbed twice to protect his mother and barely survived.
They didn't have any more children.
Because I am worried that after having another child, I will give up looking for the lost child.
These are all words made by Ji Changze.
The prefect still didn't let him go.
Maybe it was because of his ugly appearance that he was very obsessed with Ji Changze, who looked like a jade. It was clear that he was just a blind beggar, but he still held a grudge after all this time.
It was unreasonable, but under such unreasonable circumstances, Ji Changze had no way to escape.
There was another burst of chaos.
His parents were imprisoned to protect him, and the gangster tried his best to hold off the official and force him to run away.
Because the officials did not want to arrest him, but wanted him to die.
Ji Changze didn't want to run away.
The fifteen-year-old blind boy sat on the steps where he usually sat, surrounded by officials and couldn't stop crying.
His parents suffered ten years of painful longing and torture because of him, and were even arrested by the gang.
The gangster master is still being arrested by the officials because he is seriously ill.
The girl went to visit the gangster from time to time because of him, and she ended up not knowing whether she would live or die.
It's all because of him.
They all wanted him to run away, but he was willing to sacrifice his own life for their safety.
This is when the system appeared.
[As long as you complete the task and accumulate enough points, any wish can come true.]
"Can I wish for anything? Then can I not be kidnapped by human traffickers when I was a child?"
The system observed: [Impossible host, the time that has passed in front of you cannot be changed. The most you can do is save enough points and return to the current point in time.]
[The main world is protected by laws. We cannot change the time of the main world, just like this world is ordinary ancient times and no one can cultivate immortality here.]
Can not change.
Then, the pain experienced by the person he wants to protect the most will not be erased.
Even if you make up for it, you have experienced it.
Ji Changze didn't want them to bear any of the regret, pain, despair, pain every day and every second.
Finally, he made a wish:
"If you can't erase those, just erase me."
The son of his parents who was not abducted does not have to go through ten years of pain.
Without him as a disciple to drag him down, his master wouldn't have to suffer all these things at an old age and would not be dying of illness.
That girl wouldn't have been kidnapped on her way to visit his master just because she wanted to help him.
The source of everything is him.
"Erase me and everything will change."
Fifteen-year-old Ji Changze made his wish.
He has not changed his wish for many years.
And now, he has come to make his wish come true.
Ji Changze was stroking the fur of the system cat and basking in the sun. As he was sitting, a limping old gangster came over.
"Master, please have mercy on me. I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and a newborn grandchild below me. I am also lame and seriously ill. My family is just waiting for rice to be cooked. Please give me some charity." "
The old gangster spoke with tears in his eyes, and his face was full of "I am so miserable, I am so miserable, I am so miserable", but Ji Changze looked at him and laughed out loud.
Old gangster: "..."
He looked at the noble young master in confusion.
The other party was obviously laughing loudly, but his eyes were red.
Hey.
This guy is crying and laughing at the same time. He seems to be quite rich, so he must not be out of his mind.
This kind of brain is not easy to use, even if it is a fat sheep, it cannot be touched.
Trouble and danger are the first things they need to avoid in this profession.
He suddenly ran back and made sure Ji Changze didn't catch up, then walked away while muttering.
"I, an old beggar, am living so comfortably."
"Have pancakes in the morning and porridge in the evening. I won't change it even if I give you ten thousand liang."
"Bah! A fool won't change it! Who wrote these lyrics! Do you have any brains?"
After finishing talking, he stretched out:
"Xiaoyao!"
Ji Changze looked at his back and left, his eyebrows relaxed.
The system cat looked up and looked at the expression on the host's face.
A string of complaints silently flashed through my heart:
It turns out that the host can also laugh like an idiot.
Look up again.
――Click!
Ji Changze smiled, picked up the back of the milk cat's neck, and said in a gentle voice:
"System, are you filming me?"
"Meow~"
"Don't play dead, I heard you."
"Meow~"
"Delete the photo."
"How dare you show me such an ugly photo??? Don't you know that I am the most shameless person?!"
"Now!!! Immediately!!!"
“Delete it immediately!!!!!!”
