Chapter 58 The Past

  "You don't have to run! Everyone who appears here should die!"

  The overly familiar laughter made me lose my train of thought for a moment, just in time to meet the child's wide-eyed stare.

  At this moment, my left eye, disguised as a black pupil, was out of my control and suddenly automatically transformed into the "Devouring Spirit Eye" with blood-red color. A pair of heterochromatic eyes, one red and one blue, and one purple and one amber, stared at his pupils, which were actually multi-layered and heavy-lidded.

  A surge of spiritual power struck my mind!

  Illusion?

  I instantly fainted and fell over.

  I couldn't even begin to imagine why I, who possess the "Devouring Spirit's Eye" that negates all illusions, would fall for an illusion. This "Devouring Spirit's Eye" may not be able to completely repel or weaken high-level illusions, but at least it should be able to resist them. After all, I don't have a complete version of the "Devouring Spirit's Eye". But not getting trapped in an illusory realm is the most basic thing!

  ※※※

  The child only realized that the person he had just talked to was a stranger of about the same age as him, lying half on the ground, and felt a wave of regret in his heart.

  He found that "they" were happy to chat with others, and he was very angry, just like when he killed "Wei Zhi" before. Wei Zhi actually wanted to leave him and "them" again, which was unforgivable.

  However, he initially only hoped that "Wei Zhi" would stay and not leave, without the intention of killing him, just a thought, if you want to leave, I'd rather you die.

  He didn't really want the child to die either...... He didn't want to kill him, he really didn't.

  He thought that the only ones who would come here were those villagers, people who wanted his power, they had been forcing him to kill "them" since he was born, knowing that he might have inherited some strange power, and he had to kill all of "them" in order to awaken that power!

  Although they were uncertain what kind of force it was.

  But he doesn't want to.

  He was originally very happy, although he couldn't control this body, everything was perfect, except that he couldn't see anything himself, until his eye color was discovered by others, and then everything changed.

  Confined in a house, or locked up.

  One night, someone choked the neck of a soundly sleeping person, almost to the point of suffocation, with great pain all over their body. The person was only around five years old and had no ability to resist, so "he" couldn't bear it and died first. Then, his eyes felt hot and scorching, and as he struggled, he made eye contact with the person who was choking him. That person immediately died too, in the same way as "him". The dead person was the village elder.

  Later, "Yu" also died. In a dream, he found himself bound and placed in a bathtub filled with water much higher than his own height... From then on, this body feared water, and "we" didn't dare to fall asleep together at the same time again.

  The next day, the first villager who came to visit me drowned in the living room of my home, then the second one, the third one...

  They feared the resentment in my eyes, they feared death, but they wanted even more to control this power.

  According to records, that group of old men in the Council thought that as long as there were fewer "people" existing within my body, it would be easier to control this power.

  So they locked themselves in this place to reduce other unnecessary sacrifices.

  I want out, until I and "them" mutually kill each other until only one person is left.

  All I remembered was this sentence before I was locked in this cave.

  Less than a month later, "Ling" died first. When "Weizhi" was in control of the body, he cut his left wrist with a sharp stone and severed the blood vessels. If it wasn't for the villager coming over earlier than expected, he would have been able to die. Unfortunately, it was not "Weizhi" who died, but rather the always weak "Ling".

  However, the villagers were extremely angry, angry that "I" wanted to escape from their control, and as a reminder for myself, my left wrist was chained.

  The pain in my left hand makes me and "them" dare not to commit suicide again, because I and "they" do not dare to confirm whether we are the one who can die luckily.

  Then, "Si" collapsed and died in this deep, dark secret room. Later, the villagers opened a hole on top of the cave to reward their own "death"... and also to make themselves feel no longer confined in an enclosed space.

  Every unnatural death of myself would grant this body a full day of "death", and then on the second night, this body would revive again. Originally I thought living was a good thing, but after my first "rebirth", I realized how painful it is to be alive.

  Then, that day, "Wei Zhi" seemed to have gone mad, speaking nonsense, I didn't know what he wanted to say, all I knew was that he wanted to leave "us" again, so, I "thought" of killing him, that traitor... Then, I realized that even without a physical body, pure spirit would also die in my eyes... as long as I wanted it to.

  Finally, the remaining "them" are also afraid of me, not just the villagers, but even I am afraid of myself.

  It's all those villagers, they're the ones who did it.

  Just for someone who disappeared for God knows how many years, why should our generation bear the consequences? He saved my ancestors, but you demand that I repay the debt in his name.

  Why must I sacrifice my entire life for this tainted bloodline? It would have been better to kill off all those big names from the start. Otherwise, I should have followed that coward who shares my blood and escaped from this place. His reason was despicable, but his actions were courageous.

  It's just murder, the people here were supposed to die anyway, but killing can't be based on one's own will, it's really disgusting.

  The child looked at the kid he had just killed, his face full of tears.

  I'm sorry... I couldn't control it, I never thought of killing anyone, they were all forcing me, I really didn't mean to... Really, sorry!

  ※※※

  I lost control of my body, everything in the past was replaying in my heart like a carousel, my entire consciousness sank into a dark and gloomy swamp, surrounded by thick blood fog, constantly appearing various faces of sorrow, crying, anger, wailing, hatred, which matched the scene perfectly, almost making all normal people collapse and die on the spot...

  Scare factor 7 points, too pretentious minus one point; sound effect is good, can give 8 points, if a little quieter, with a subtle feeling, should be better; bloody taste is a bit fake, the iron feel didn't come out, color is also a bit off, too gaudy...

  I carefully observed the surroundings, with a slightly interesting evaluation of the harmony between the scenery and background sound effects in my heart, completely forgetting how my consciousness ended up here.

  Alas, I'm unlikely to be afraid of this sort of thing. After all, I've already been through a living hell, haven't I? What can this fake stuff possibly scare me with?

  I don't even care anymore, I can just watch from a third person's perspective!

  Suddenly, a big yawn appeared in my consciousness, interrupting my "art" appreciation.

  I still feel like I haven't slept enough! I really want to get some exercise, kill someone and see how it feels, otherwise my bones will all fall off! It's a special tone that is lazy yet seductive, arrogant yet cruel.

  These chapters are a bit messy I know, so let's just skip the bricks, otherwise my mood will be bad, and if it's bad, I won't want to upload.
