Killing with one sentence

What Chen Yingsheng didn't expect was that her words seemed to touch some taboo, causing Aqiu to enter a state of stress.

"You're talking nonsense! I'm not a freak!"

"Have you looked in the mirror? Oh yes, there is no mirror here."

There was a puddle of water on the bathroom floor. There was no image of Chen Yingsheng in the puddle, and even the eyes on the piece of meat could not reflect her shadow.

Ah Qiu seemed very scared, she kept repeating: "I am not a freak!"

Chen Yingsheng was very patient: "Do you know what a freak is?"

"Of course I know. There are deformed people in the village."

"What is a freak and who is a freak?"

"I don't know." Aqiu floated up, aimed at the door, and wanted to end the conversation by running away.

Chen Yingsheng hugged her and said, "Listen to me."

“A deformity is an abnormality or defect in the body relative to the normal.”

Ah Qiu was very stubborn: "I am a normal person."

"Who is that deformed person?"

"I don't know. That kind of thing doesn't matter."

Chen Yingsheng put Ah Qiu on the ground. She said calmly: "Why put the mirror in the holy pillar?"

“It’s just for fun.”

"No, you don't understand why there is such a useless thing as a mirror in the world. You are curious about it and want to put it into the Holy Pillar to see what will happen."

Ah Qiu was hit on the spot and she stopped running: "So what happened?"

"Nothing happened. I didn't see my face when I looked in the mirror. Mirrors here can't form images, light can't be reflected, and optics don't exist."

Ah Qiu didn't understand everything, but she realized one fact: "A normal mirror can form an image. If I can see my own face, will I know that I am a deformed person?"

"Don't you feel it normally?" Chen Yingsheng found it funny, "You are different from everyone else."

The piece of meat on the ground stopped moving. It took Ah Qiu a long time to say, "I know. Thank you for telling me."

The piece of meat used its superpowers to float away, and Chen Yingsheng couldn't stop her.

After taking a bath, Chen Yingsheng changed into the same white linen clothes as the villagers. Ah Fang came over with a small wreath and smiled:

"Alan knitted this. His superpower is very suitable for knitting things. Try it on and have a look."

Chen Yingsheng did not refuse, she asked: "Why do you want to put a wreath on me?"

"Dress up nicely for the welcoming ceremony."

"Ceremony" Chen Yingsheng had a bad feeling.

But Afang was called away by Ahong and she didn't have the chance to ask any further questions.

The two villagers exchanged a few words, and Afang came back and said, "Aqiu is dead. Her farewell ceremony will be held together with your welcome ceremony. Let's go to the square quickly. The whole village will be there."

Chen Yingsheng thought Afang was joking. There was no trace of sadness on her face. She spoke of Aqiu's death as if she was making tea.

"Is this Qiu's prank?" Chen Yingsheng asked, "Just like putting a mirror into the holy pillar?"

Ah Fang stated the facts: "No, Ah Qiu is dead, and his body is in the pond behind."

Chen Yingsheng rushed out of the room.

Alan and Ahong had just fished out the piece of meat, with a huge rock tied to it. The rock and the piece of meat sank into the pond together, making it impossible for Aqiu, who had the ability to float, to save himself.

The knot on the boulder was complex and strong, and Aqiu only had four short flesh traces, so it was impossible for her to have tied it herself.

Ah Fang said Ah Lan's superpowers were very suitable for weaving.

Chen Yingsheng held on to the last glimmer of hope and looked in the direction of Alan: "Who tied Shitou and Aqiu together?"

"I tied it."

"Why"

"She said she was going to kill herself."

Chen Yingsheng was furious: "Are you kidding me? She committed suicide and you helped her."

No matter what, Chen Yingsheng would not accept such a ridiculous statement, which was more ridiculous than all the deformed people in the village.

Ah Lan didn't hear her rhetorical question. He was very calm: "No, it's not a joke. She wants to commit suicide and asked me to help her."

Chen Yingsheng felt extremely tired. From the moment she saw the holy pillar, she realized that Agape was most likely a variant church of Hong Jinsheng's ego religion. She even suspected that the false god who imprisoned Hong Jinsheng with lies was the patriarch of Agape.

If her guess was correct, then the deformed people in front of her were all devout believers. Normal people could not understand the thoughts of believers, nor did they need to understand them.

So Chen Yingsheng said: "I want to see the mentor."

Ah Fang replied: “There will be a handwritten letter from the mentor at the ceremony.”

Chen Yingsheng came to the square silently. She and the dead Aqiu were placed on a raised platform, and below the platform were villagers with various deformities.

Most of them were young people, the oldest of whom was an old grandfather who had no calves and whose feet were covered with shoes below his knees.

When she found Chen Yingsheng observing the old man, Afang took the initiative to say, "That's Ah Xie. His home is closest to the square. He has a family member who is in a coma. His superpowers are of little use and his life is very difficult."

"Does everyone in this village have super powers?"

"Of course." Afang looked at her strangely, wondering how someone could ask such a question.

The ceremony began soon.

It was completely different from the horrific ceremony Chen Yingsheng had imagined. It was a very normal farewell ceremony.

The villagers took turns to come forward and say goodbye to Aqiu. There was no emotion on their faces, as if they were seeing off a stranger.

Chen Yingsheng's welcome ceremony was relatively lively. Everyone gathered together to eat and drink. The food was all produced by the village. They used advanced farm tools and various super powers to achieve self-sufficiency.

There was a box decorated with flowers on the stage, which was said to be a gift for Chen Yingsheng to welcome her to Yingzhou.

After the banquet, a ripple appeared in the space, and a letter was ejected. Ah Hong grabbed the letter and said excitedly: "It's the teacher! The teacher's handwritten letter!"

Chen Yingsheng watched coldly. Agape used several members to trick her into the different dimension. It was impossible that they did this just to let the deformed people hold a welcome ceremony for her.

Ah Hong read the words on the letter aloud: "Please invite Chen Yingsheng to come to the stage and speak. What she says must be the truth."

There was a murmur.

All the deformed people focused their attention on Chen Yingsheng, and everyone's eyes were full of expectation.

Chen Yingsheng walked slowly onto the stage.

"I have nothing to say, and my words are not the truth."

"I just want to ask a question, why don't people know they are deformed?"

It was silent.

Chen Yingsheng saw despair and panic on the faces of several deformed people with intact facial features, and she waited patiently for answers.

Everyone suddenly dispersed and returned home in silence.

Chen Yingsheng stood there in a daze, staying with Aqiu's body.

She looked at Aqiu's body, and a crazy idea suddenly popped up in her mind: Aqiu was not killed by Alan, but committed suicide after hearing Chen Yingsheng's words.

The gift box decorated with flowers was extremely eye-catching. Chen Yingsheng opened the gift box and saw a piece of paper quietly placed in the box.

The paper was yellowish in color and covered with red words. The format was exactly the same as the rules provided by the white-haired girl in the kaleidoscope. Chen Yingsheng almost thought that he was still in He Kang's kaleidoscope.

The Yingzhou Rules were written on the paper:

1. There are deformed people in the village. They are not human beings, but living corpses whose super powers have been replaced by their own.

2. Everyone can see what others look like, but cannot know what they look like, nor can they discuss any topics related to appearance.

3. No one knows what "deformity" means exactly, but if you unfortunately find out that you are a deformed person, for the overall interests and well-being of mankind, please commit suicide immediately, and the people around you must cooperate.

Chen Yingsheng ran back to Afang's house frantically. The house was as quiet as a coffin.

In the kitchen, Afang's super-long arms were stuffed into her mouth, and her baby-like fingers pierced her tender throat, making her die in an extremely miserable way.

By the pond, Alan's long fingers were tied into a knot around his neck. His face was a horrible purple-black color, and liquids and solids from suffocation and incontinence were piled under his body.

Chen Yingsheng took two steps back.

She killed everyone with just one word.

There is another person. This thought flashed through Chen Yingsheng's mind. Her feet seemed to be out of control of her brain and she ran back to the square like crazy.

The family closest to the square is A'Xie's. A'fang told her that there is a family member in A'Xie's family who is in a coma.

The family didn’t hear her, so they must still be alive.

Chen Yingsheng pushed the door open with a bang and searched the bedrooms one by one.

In the first bedroom, the dead Ah Xie was lying quietly on the bed. Chen Yingsheng decisively closed the door and broke into the second bedroom.

It was He Kang. The unconscious family member was actually He Kang.

The abducted He Kang looked like he had just woken up. He stretched and looked at Chen Yingsheng at the door with curious eyes.

He smiled and said, "Hello, do you have anything to eat?"

Chen Yingsheng looked at him in a daze.

He Kang got off the bed. He seemed not very familiar with his new limbs. His legs were spread at a 30-degree angle and moved like two ribbons. Then he habitually knocked his head against the floor.

Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da

He took a few steps and found that his body was strong enough to support the weight of his head, so he no longer had to bang his head against the floor.

"Sorry, I slept too long and I haven't recovered yet." He Kang said awkwardly.

No, it should not be called He Kang. It is He Kang's superpower itself, the monster that replaced He Kang - Torso Teddy in the kaleidoscope.

Is this the truth about super powers? Chen Yingsheng's mind went blank, she almost lost her voice and fell into a trance.

All superpowered people will be killed by their own superpowers and then replaced

What about her relatives and friends Chen Fanfan, Wang Ruibin, Zuo Xufei and Ma Yushuang...

Will they all turn into monsters like this?

The torso Teddy in front of him, wearing He Kang's body, repeated again: "Is there any food? I'm so hungry."

Its tone was almost like acting coquettishly. Chen Yingsheng didn't know whether it was imitating humans or it could act coquettishly itself.

She went to the kitchen without saying a word, took out a bag of steamed buns from the refrigerator, and Teddy held the buns and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

Behind it, Chen Yingsheng held up a frying pan.

“Boom—”

The human skull and the iron pot produced a long echo, the bottom of the pot was deformed, blood overflowed from the head, and Teddy's torso slowly fell down.

Chen Yingsheng dropped the frying pan.

"Teacher! Where are you?"

No one answered her, and no one would answer her.

Chen Yingsheng stared at Teddy's torso lying on the ground, and the hairs on his back stood up.

The deaths of Qiu, Fang, and Lan are all related to their super powers, so what about Xie?

Ah Xie was lying on the bed, looking like he had died of old age.

Or maybe he didn't die of old age, he wasn't dead at all, he wasn't a deformed person.

In the first bedroom, Ah Xie's posture did not change at all. Chen Yingsheng was too lazy to even smell his breath, she pulled off Ah Xie's shoes.

There is no foot below the knee, just two neat and smooth fractures. The skin after healing is smooth and clean, and the color is much lighter than the skin on the thigh.

Ah Xie is not a deformed person at all. He is a normal human who has lost his lower legs and lives in Yingzhou disguised as a deformed person.

Chen Yingsheng threw away her shoes. The clothes on her back were already soaked with sweat. She said in a trembling voice:

"Is that you, mentor?"
