On the way home, I saw someone set up a stage to auction a traditional painting. I watched curiously for a while. When the auction ended, the sky was already dark.
Walking back to my neighborhood, I felt that the air was very humid. I looked up and saw that there were many dragonflies flying in the courtyard of the neighborhood. I didn't pay much attention at first, but after a quick count, I realized that there were more than 500 of them! This is an illegal gathering! Did you guys register with the government! Are you bugs dissatisfied with socialism!? Be careful of the officials crushing you to death!
They left as quickly as they came, dispersing in the blink of an eye, leaving only a deep doubt in my heart.
I suddenly felt that my skin wasn't as hot as before, and the air was a lot cooler. There was even … a chill that made you shiver from the bottom of your heart.
I didn't know when, but the sky turned completely dark. The curtain of night enveloped everything in Dong Shan city. The moonlight was unclear, and the stars were dim.
I hesitated and stopped in my tracks. According to China's tradition, if it's not the birth of a saint, then it's the arrival of a demon.
Could it be … that one of my neighbors who lives in this neighborhood is going to give birth to the future president of the country?
At this moment, without any warning, a hollow and mechanical voice floated from the shadows behind me.
"Do you … want power?"
"What?"
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly … live? "
Fuck, that scared me to death! What kind of monster is trying to confuse people here? Did you watch too much "Infinite Horror"? My life is a youth school's silly light comedy, don't give me the fantasy of transmigrating to another world to become an immortal or a demon!
However, this voice was really scary. I quickly jumped away before I dared to look back to see who the voice belonged to.
My first feeling was that I saw a human head floating in midair.
I almost screamed, but after careful observation, I realized that the person chose a very coincidental position to stand, causing the light and shadow to overlap on his body. I could only see his head clearly. Everything below his neck was hidden in the shadows, so I couldn't see it clearly.
My second feeling was that this guy seemed to be blind.
His thin face gave off the impression that he had no desires. His eyes were wide open, but the color of his pupils was very faint. They were so faint that they were almost transparent. I could even see a smaller circle of pupils inside his pupils.
Illusion, it must be an illusion.
"Who are you? Have you mistaken me for someone else? "
I plucked up my courage to ask him. I didn't know why there was fear in my heart that I had never felt before.
"I didn't get the wrong person," he said slowly. His thin pupils locked onto me at an unimaginable speed, "Ye Lin, I'm here to give you a choice."
"Choose, choose what?"
He was a guy who had just jumped out of a horror movie. He exuded a creepy aura from head to toe. The fact that he knew my name scared me to death.
The corners of his mouth, which had been drained of vitality, curled upwards in a mysterious manner.
"Yes or no?"
“no！ Absolutely no! Absolutely no! Hurry up and remove yourself from the list! "
"How can this be?" He frowned slightly. "You'll die …"
"Who is going to die? Don't jinx it! And you haven't even told me who you are! "
He was momentarily absent-minded, as if recalling his own name required a great deal of effort.
"My name in this era should be Fang Xin."
Fang Xin? The homonym is "rest assured," right? That's not reassuring at all! Who let him out because they didn't tie him up properly! My heart is about to jump out of my chest because of you!
"You don't have to be afraid, or rather, it's useless to be afraid." Fang Xin gazed at me with eyes that could see through the past and present, "Also, don't investigate my identity. There are a lot of things in this world that you can't know, you'll die."
"Hey, hey, hey, you just said die, who's going to die!"
"The person you love the most."
Anger rose in my heart, "Are you cursing me? Do you believe that I won't beat you up!? "I swung my fist threateningly.
"You won't beat me up." Fang Xin said indifferently, "Because there are no records of you beating me up in Akasha's records. Your fate is strange, but it won't be strange to the point of punching a god …"
F * ck, although some youths with chuunibyou think they are gods (I had a classmate in elementary school who thought he was a saint), Fang Xin is at least 30 years old, maybe even close to 40 years old. After being chuunibyou for so many years, does he still think he is a god?
"Huh? If you're a god, why did you descend to find me? "
"I didn't come to find you, but you came to find me." Fang Xin looked up at the dark moon and fell into deep thought about the distant past, "A few eras ago, you unfortunately lost the person you love the most and met me by chance. On a whim, I brought you to visit the Akasha's Disc in the depths of the universe and let you see your past and future lives. I hoped that you could understand that everything is an illusion and it's not worth feeling sad over a loss."
"But you saw that in a certain era after that, which is now, you lost the person you loved the most. You felt a double sense of grief, so you made a deal with me to change the tragic outcome. In exchange, you ended your life early in that era. Your blood splashed on the Akashic Disc, causing the part of the pattern related to you to be blurred. Even I can't see through it completely. But no matter what, I'm standing in front of you once again according to our agreement. If you want to change your fate, then listen to my advice. "
My jaw dropped so wide that it almost hit the ground.
He actually made up such a complicated appearance. Looks like he's not a patient with chuunibyou, but a liar! "Almsgiver, your glabella is darkening." Such a liar!
I decided to uphold justice and expose his scam.
"Hmph, let me make this clear. No matter what advice you give me, I won't give you a single cent!"
Fang Xin smiled faintly, "In front of the Wheel of Fate, money is worthless. You already paid the price of changing your fate in your past life. I won't take anything from you."
This liar is quite professional! He's acting like a thief! I don't believe that I can't find any loopholes in your lies!
"Alright, since you don't want money, then tell me, who is the person I love the most?"
"The part related to you on the Akasha's Disc is already blurry, so I don't know who the person you love the most is. Even if I know, I can't tell you."
"Then, why did the person I love the most die?"
"I don't know for now, but if you listen to me, then you can avoid the tragedy."
"Why should I listen to you and donate all my assets to you?"
"Looks like you still don't believe me …"
"Nonsense! If you say you're a god, who in their right mind would believe you! "
"There's no other way. I'll just prove that I'm a god."
Damn, you're really going to do it! Are you going to make hand seals and chant an incantation to tilt the northwest and sink the southeast, or are you going to split the red sea and summon frogs from the sky!
"I want to say a prophecy."
After all this time, you're still just trying to talk! I thought you were going all out just to scam money, performing acrobatics, performing magic tricks, and using high-tech camouflage!
"Soon, your cellphone will save your life."
"Huh?"
"Your cellphone will soon malfunction, but don't go to repair it or change it. Your cellphone will save your life."
This prophecy sounds awesome, but it's actually very easy to realize! Nowadays, most people use smartphones, so it's normal for smartphones to malfunction. As for being saved by a cellphone, does it count as saving my life if I forget to bring money to eat and use my cellphone to call a friend? Does it count as saving my life if I encounter a robber and use my cellphone to call 110? This is basically a prophecy with an extremely low chance of being seen through!
"Even if this prophecy comes true, it doesn't prove you're a god, right? Why don't you do something more straightforward … "I pointed at a pickled vegetable rock in the garden," I'll believe you if you turn it into gold! "
"That's not difficult." He said as he took a step forward.
Not … not difficult!? I, I need to calm down, this scammer is really going all out! Is he a master of magic and can actually make a large piece of gold out of it? Is he hired by Ai ShuQiao to trick me!
But after he left the shadowy corner, I immediately saw the clothes he was wearing and my anticipation of turning stone into gold was greatly reduced.
Fuck, he was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown! On the left side of his chest was a patient card with "Dong Shan Mental Hospital, Patient 113" written in bright font.
What the hell! He's really a … lunatic! I can't believe I talked so much to a lunatic, does that mean my IQ has dropped again! Berserker mode has the side effect of decreasing IQ, so I should use it less!
"The main component of the rock is silicate, I just need to touch it …"
Fang Xin was still talking to me in a profound tone, but because he was wearing a hospital gown, his persuasiveness was greatly reduced.
Suddenly, two sturdy male nurses wearing white gowns ran up from behind him.
"So Lunatic Fang came here! Hold him down! "
"Don't even think about running! Go back and take your medicine! "
Fang Xin had a calm expression as he was held down by the two male nurses without any resistance and was dragged towards the ambulance.
"Ye Lin, if you want to change your fate, then come find me in the future. You know where to find me, I'll always be waiting for you."
That's what Fang Xin said before he was locked into the ambulance cage.
No shit! Even if you want to leave the mental hospital, you still have to! If I went to the mental hospital alone to discuss life with you, the doctors would probably lock me up in a ward as well! I have to keep my mouth shut about the fact that I was almost tricked by a mental patient. I can't let others laugh at me if I say it!
That night, I had a strange dream while I was alone at home. I dreamed that Fang Xin gave me a gemstone pendant. As a result, the gemstone brought me, Xiao Qin, the class leader, and other classmates to an unbelievable world. There, we helped the Fairy Empire fight against the Evil God Alliance. After we fought against the final boss, we discovered that the evil god's leader was Fang Xin himself. He revealed his ugly true form with barbs and tentacles all over his body. He only needed to open his mouth to spit out radiation that knocked down Xiao Qin and the class leader.
I woke up in a cold sweat and realized that I slept with the window open. I got up to close the window, but I accidentally discovered that the pickled vegetable stone in the garden downstairs had disappeared without a trace.
