"I don't remember..." Li Yuebai said.
He tried to recall what special person he met when he was 18 years old, but he could only recall some daily study life, there was no shadow of Ye Qing at all. If he tried to dig deeper into the memory, he felt a sharp pain from the bottom of his skull Come on, it hurts like it's about to burst.
"Host, you really shouldn't remember." The system said: "Because Ye Qing washed away your memory when he left your world."
"..."
"Of course." The system added: "Under certain circumstances, you may still recall some scattered fragments. personal experience."
"Dream..." Li Yuebai suddenly remembered the dream that had troubled him for many years.
In the second time, when I was exhausted from fighting the vampires in the rented house, I once dreamed—the sky was overcast, the clouds were low, the horizon was far away, the forest was far away, and the icy wind was blowing Come over, not far away, there is a teenage boy looking at me, his appearance is very handsome and cute, but his expression is very gloomy, he stretched out a hand to himself, and said: Brother, come here.
Maybe this dream is the fragment of his first encounter with Ye Qing.
Next, the systematic explanation made him more sure of this guess.
"At that time, Ye Qing was still very young, and he had just been exiled by the main god." The system said: "He transmigrated into the body of a thirteen-year-old boy."
"Yes" Li Yuebai whispered, the boy in the dream looked about thirteen years old in terms of appearance and figure.
"The original owner passed away due to illness, and Ye Qing was able to transmigrate into the original owner's body. The original owner's mother had long since left home, and his father... father seemed to be a successful person with a certain status and financial ability, but inside he was a sadist. He often tortures his son physically and mentally." The system said: "Ye Qing is at a loss for such a family."
"He can absolutely—" Li Yuebai blurted out.
Ye Qing is another personality of the main god, with powerful spiritual power, every time he travels, he may have some special cheats, destroying a person who abuses him is just a matter of moving his fingers.
"Unfortunately, at that time, Ye Qing had just been exiled by the main god, came to this world alone, and was stripped of his previous memories by the main god—under such circumstances, his mind was only equivalent to that of a human baby less than one year old It’s just that I don’t know that I have great power, let alone use it.” The system sighed: “In fact, he doesn’t understand anything. He was locked up at home by his father and couldn’t get in touch with the outside world. The normal way families get along is ignorant."
"Doesn't the Lord God think that he is inherently evil?" Li Yuebai suddenly felt a nameless resentment in his heart: "Maybe the Lord God just made a misjudgment out of arrogance and self-righteousness, maybe there is nothing wrong with Ye Qing's nature, maybe it is this time when he crossed over and met him. The harsh environment he encountered turned him into an evil existence... The Lord God should be responsible for this!"
The system has long been used to Li Yuebai's dislike of the main god, but it still paused uncomfortably.
"Host, I also don't accept your excessive accusations against the main god." After all, the system has reverence and loyalty to the main god, and immediately argued: "What a person becomes in the end... There are both innate and acquired reasons. I believe in the main god. Judgment, Ye Qing's innate nature has the seeds of evil."
Li Yuebai didn't intend to argue about this issue anymore, because he himself had never reached a definite conclusion. The real world is too complicated, and there are many kinds of human nature. Some people have good family conditions, are loved by everyone and grew up, and have received the best education, but do a lot of evil. , Both congenital and acquired factors are playing a role, and which aspect is more obvious varies from person to person, and cannot be generalized.
"Even if he is ignorant and ignorant, he still knows the pain. On a certain day, a rainy day, he quietly escaped from his home." The system said: "But this world is too strange to him, he doesn't know where to go, so Just standing on the side of the road in a daze, watching strange people come and go in the rain." The system said: "Then he met you."
At that time, Li Yuebai had just entered the university campus. In order to raise enough tuition and living expenses, he took part-time jobs such as graphic models outside the campus. Room.
On a rainy day, Li Yuebai walked out of the subway entrance, opened his umbrella, and walked along a sidewalk to his residence, when he saw the drenched boy on the side of the road.
The boy was very cute, and the clothes on his body were exquisite and stylish, but the expression on his face was very gloomy and confused. He just stood there motionless, letting the raindrops hit him.
Li Yuebai would never sit idly by this kind of thing, he was worried that the boy would be abducted by bad guys, and also worried that the boy would catch a cold and get sick, so he naturally stepped forward to ask, but the boy refused to speak, refused to say his name , Not to mention the home address and phone number of the parents.
Li Yuebai had no choice but to take the boy back to his home.
After eating and drinking for a few days, the boy was finally willing to speak, but he would only call him brother, and refused to provide any extra information.
"You really don't want to go home?" Li Yuebai teased him: "Is it because you like brother too much?"
"Yeah." The boy replied softly.
"This won't work, your parents and teachers will be in a hurry, and your exams, remedial classes... will all be delayed." Li Yuebai calculated the same: "And your household registration, your insurance, delicious The snacks and fun toys are all in your home."
"I don't want to go back to my father..." The boy's voice became softer and softer.
"Why don't you want to?" Li Yuebai was a little surprised.
"Because my father always hits me." The boy said intermittently.
It's just that Li Yuebai didn't have any sense of crisis at that time. He didn't have parents himself, and he always had a fantasy about his family that was higher than reality. His playmates since he was a child were children from orphanages and schoolmates. He has never been in contact with a victim of domestic violence. In his concept, parents love their children the most and will give the best to their children. It is impossible to abuse them. Even if they really hit a child, it is because the child is naughty. Only if you are willing to study hard can you punish, it cannot be so serious.
In addition, the teenager's language ability is really limited, and his speech is intermittent, it is impossible to explain things clearly. The clothes on the young man were clean and delicate, and the hands, arms and calves exposed outside the clothes were all white and clean, without any scars...
All this made Li Yuebai make a natural judgment.
Li Yuebai quickly called the police, and the boy's father also came to the door quickly.
The father was well-dressed, with a serious and kind expression on his face. He was above the middle class at first glance. Accompanied by the police, he went to Li Yuebai's residence and took the boy away.
In fact, Li Yuebai was really reluctant.
"Brother..." The boy's voice was already crying, and he pulled Li Yuebai's clothes and refused to leave.
"Thank you, little classmate." The boy's father thanked Li Yuebai amiably, and even offered money as a reward. Although he was not accepted in the end, he still showed his father's attitude.
No one knows how many crimes he committed in private, no one knows how many scars he left under the boy's clothes.
"Good boy." Li Yuebai bent down with a smile, and stroked the boy's hair: "In the future, you can still come to play with my brother, or write letters to my brother."
"..." The teenager burst into tears.
Li Yuebai watched the young man leave with his father, feeling a little melancholy and relieved, and didn't realize what a terrible wrong choice he had made.
…
"One year later, something terrible happened." The system called up the newspaper at that time: "The boy's father died strangely in his home, and the boy disappeared. Soon, many murders occurred all over the city. Know who the murderer is…”
"Ye Qing...has he finally discovered his own strength?" Li Yuebai couldn't stop trembling.
"Yes, after he was abandoned by you, he endured his father's abuse for a while, and finally broke out." The system said: "After killing his father, he couldn't suppress the urge to kill, and began to target innocent people .”
"It's my fault." Li Yuebai said in a daze.
"Later, the Lord God tried to kill him, so he fled to other worlds." The system said: "Before he left, he washed away your memory."
Before leaving, he didn't go back to the rental house to look for Li Yuebai, not once.
"The system believes that he may be close to you deep down in his heart, but he never dares to return to your side." The system said: "At least he didn't kill you or hurt you."
"..." Li Yuebai remembered that at that time, the homicide was raging and everyone was in danger. He also watched the news reports on TV. Until the end, no one found out who the real murderer was.
"So, host, do you understand? Why you were chosen by the main god to become a time traveler, why you always meet Ye Qing again and again." The system said: "At the beginning, you were The one who touched him first."
"I was also an accomplice who pushed him into the abyss." Li Yuebai's face was as pale as paper.
"Although it's a bit cruel, I want to say that someone else would do the same," the system said.
other people…
No matter how others are, at least for now, this mistake was made by oneself, and there should be no reason to evade responsibility.
Li Yuebai is willing to pay all the price in exchange for a chance to make amends.
"Host, don't rush to make a request." The system saw Li Yuebai's urgency, and said first: "What you mean now coincides with the main god, and the main god also hopes that you will return to your world and start afresh. Come here, meet Ye Qing again for the first time..."
Li Yuebai suddenly raised his head.
And... one more chance...
"Really?" He heard his trembling voice, like a dying traveler trekking in the desert suddenly saw an oasis.
"Of course." The system said: "The main god has reasons for the main god. The main god hopes that you will change him again, and that you... keep him in your world forever."
After a long and unsuccessful hunt, the Lord God began to consider another strategy, not to destroy Ye Qing, but to keep him in his favorite world forever.
