In William's past life memories, he was forced to kill some security guards when he escaped from the orphanage at the age of ten.
In fact, this was not his first time killing someone, otherwise he would not have been able to kill several well-trained adults so smoothly, and he would not have appeared calm after killing several people for the first time, which did not affect his escape plan at all.
The real "Memories of Murder" was sealed deeper inside, in Yi Chen's memory safe.
The reason why they are not released is because these memories will have a bad influence on the individual and may cause William's character to deteriorate seriously.
However, Yi Chen thought that this was the perfect time to release these memories.
Because the theme of memories is directly related to the "mask", it may have an important impact on the subsequent condensation, or even directly dominate the condensation process.
Buzz! Memory flashes back.
Back when he was just over four years old, which corresponds to the age when he should be in kindergarten in normal human society, Yi Chen had already experienced a whole year of hellish life in the orphanage.
Due to Yi Chen's special identity, he is the product of the combination of Director Cao's genes and the genes of outstanding external personnel, and he has scored high in various talent tests. He has been favored by Director Cao, his "mother", since he was a child.
Even though they officially accepted the hellish life in the orphanage, Director Cao still gave them privileges in some matters, and even provided them with care and teaching that other children had never received.
Not all children can persist in such an environment.
When a child has committed serious violations and the teaching team unanimously agrees that he or she cannot be corrected and has no value in training, then this child needs to be erased. Not just the name on the list, but the person needs to be completely erased.
Because as long as individuals exist, they will consume resources.
However, the orphanage will not directly euthanize them or let them fend for themselves, but will make the best use of their resources.
One day, after finishing his course normally, Yi Chen was stopped by Director Cao and taken to a special area, where he pushed open the iron gate.
The roommate who had disappeared a few days ago was restrained in an electric chair.
At the same time, Director Cao handed a trigger controller to Yi Chen.
Although he was only four years old at the time, Yi Chen knew exactly what he was holding. As he held the controller, his roommate, who was tied to the iron chair, turned his head. Even though he was exhausted from the torture, his eyes still showed that he wanted to live.
Yi Chen instinctively wanted to throw away the button and go up to rescue his roommate.
But Director Cao held one side of his shoulder tightly.
“Emotions are the most difficult soft spot for us humans to get rid of.
Because no one taught me this in my childhood, I didn't realize it until I grew up. It took me a very painful price to get rid of this soft spot, but it was not thorough enough, so there were still some meat residues left on it.
Now you no longer have to follow the teacher's detour. You can cut off your weaknesses before your thinking concepts are fully formed. The cost is less than one-tenth of what the teacher cost, and you can even eliminate them completely.
Don't worry, if it wasn't for teaching you, Yi Chen, this kid would have died long ago. Now you just need to press the remote control in your hand to help him get rid of it."
Four-year-old Yi Chen stood there in a daze, totally unsure of what to do.
"I know you're scared. How about this? I'll cover your eyes for you. If you cover your eyes, you won't have to see the images that make you hesitate. Just press it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Cao's extremely cold palm pressed against Yi Chen's hair and cheek, slowly moving from the back of his head to the front, covering his eyes and blocking all vision.
With her lips pressed against Yi Chen's face, she whispered, "You only have ten seconds to make a decision, don't let the teacher down... Otherwise, I might let you sit on it and experience it for yourself."
10.
9.
8.
…
3. "
As soon as he counted to 3, Yi Chen pressed it.
As a burning smell spread throughout the house, the screams soon ceased and everything ended.
"Well done! You pressed it before I finished counting! What a good kid you are! I know it's extremely painful to eliminate your soft spot of emotions. Go back and digest it. I'll ask for leave for your art class tonight."
After saying this, Director Cao released his hands from covering his eyes.
Yi Chen looked at his roommate who had been burned on the electric chair. His bulging and bleeding eyeballs seemed to be still conveying a message for help.
After this incident, whenever Yi Chen was alone or got up at night, he would always see a charred body of a child crawling out from a dark corner, or even crawling onto his body.
But as long as you cover your face with your hands, the other person will disappear.
Therefore, for a long time, Yi Chen fell asleep with his hands covering his eyes, and sometimes he would maintain this strange posture while walking in the corridor.
Two weeks later, he was invited by Director Cao again.
The target this time was a playmate of Yi Chen. Instead of electric shock, the other party was already on the beheading platform. At Director Cao's signal, Yi Chen pulled the hemp rope that controlled the guillotine.
Director Cao also covered his eyes with his hands and gave a ten-second countdown.
This time, after counting to 5, Yi Chen chose to let go.
The guillotine fell, quickly and cleanly, and warm blood splattered on the skin.
When the hands covering his eyes were removed, Yi Chen saw that the head in the bucket was actually looking up at him with wide eyes.
After this incident, in addition to seeing the charred roommate, Yi Chen would occasionally see a bloody head rolling out from the corner, and even when he lifted the quilt, he would see the head hiding inside, smiling at him.
From now on, whenever a child who has strictly violated the rules and is acquainted with Yi Chen appears in the orphanage, Director Cao will show up.
From the initial electric chair and beheading platform to Yi Chen personally feeding poison, cutting the aorta to bleed, stabbing the heart with a dagger, and finally beheading by himself.
Yi Chen was given a child's version of a hand axe. In the beginning, due to his lack of strength and immature technique, he often needed to chop more than ten times to completely cut off the head, and it might even be completely stuck between the cervical vertebrae.
However, Director Cao never said anything and always covered Yi Chen's eyes with his adult hands.
Gradually, with Yi Chen's talent, he quickly mastered the skills and became familiar with beheading.
He only needed to feel the temperature of the splattered blood and the force of the spray to roughly know the other party's condition... Slowly, at the age of six, he was able to behead people in one go without causing any pain to the executed person.
From then on, whenever Yi Chen walked in the corridor of the orphanage, he could always feel that there were a large number of dead bodies following him.
Or reaching out to pull Yi Chen's clothes,
Or licking Yi Chen's skin with his tongue,
Or there is a constant roar in my ears,
Some even fell on Yi Chen's shoulders, whispering various words of gratitude.
but,
All Yi Chen needed to do was to raise his hands horizontally and cover his eyes like Director Cao did, and these things would disappear, and the guilt in his heart would also disappear.
It seemed that the act of "covering the eyes with both hands" became a switch, an important switch used to switch personality. As long as this switch was turned on, Yi Chen would not feel any guilt. He even enjoyed the process of executing others and the comfort of being entangled in sin.
Even during a normal break, a female classmate who got along well with Yi Chen quietly appeared behind him and covered his eyes, wanting to play a guessing game with him.
But the next second, the female student was beheaded.
The moment Yi Chen's eyes were covered, he slashed at the girl with his bare hands. His force was so great that it broke her entire cervical vertebrae, and large amounts of blood spurted onto Yi Chen's face.
Until the moment of her death, the girl had no idea why the boy, who usually cared about her so much, would behave like this.
…
Time cuts back.
William, sitting under a big tree, has completed his "face-condensing"
The so-called mask actually took the shape of a palm, with the wrist placed on the temple and the dark palm horizontally covering the eyes.
Just when the process of consolidating the surface was completed, an extremely strong murderous intent gushed out. The other strong men who were consolidating their surfaces immediately felt a sense of threat at the biological instinct level, and they dispersed and retreated.
William and the big tree were the only ones left in the entire square.
