Chapter 161 (Catching Bugs)
But it was only a brief moment of confusion, and she soon saw the child behind the scenes who had stopped her "jumping off the building plan" in mid-air.
Yun Mian used all her strength to pull the protagonist sister back from mid-air little by little.
She had never fished before, but the scene of her holding a silk thread tightly between her fingers and slowly moving Ji Wan upwards looked very much like fishing.
After Yu'er Ji Wan finally came ashore and was tied up tightly on the balcony, Yun Mian let out the breath she had been holding in her heart, climbed down from the flowerpot, and sat down on the ground.
I'm so tired, my fingers and arms feel like they're going to break...
The child took a deep breath, then used his hands and feet to crawl to Ji Wan's side. After collecting all the silk threads, he knelt beside Ji Wan and looked down at him curiously.
Ji Wan: “…Mianmian?!”
Yunmian curved her eyes and smiled at her obediently.
"Sister~"
The child’s voice is soft, and his shouting softens people’s hearts as well.
Perhaps it is not appropriate to use the term "escaped from death", but Ji Wan, who did not die, looked at Yun Mian in surprise. It took him a long time to sit up with his elbows on the ground.
"Mianmian, you saved me?" Although the truth was right in front of him, Ji Wan still found it a little unbelievable.
Yunmian squatted beside her sister, nodded obediently, and then asked her curiously in a low voice: "Sister, why did you jump down?"
Without waiting for Ji Wan to answer, Yun Mian puffed up her face and said disapprovingly: "This is very dangerous. Many people who jumped down would be smashed to pieces, and would be eaten bit by bit by the monsters..."
Looking at Ji Wan, Yun Mian seemed to be looking at an unreliable adult. She sighed deeply, stretched out her chubby little hand and gently patted Ji Wan's head, imitating her mother's soft voice and admonishing: "Sister, be good, don't go near these dangerous places again. Children and adults are not allowed to climb the balcony to play casually."
After listening to this, Ji Wan wanted to laugh at an inappropriate time. Perhaps it was because she had just experienced the process of death. Although she did not die, her heart was much brighter. At this moment, she smiled at the little girl who was giving her detailed instructions and listened to her nagging like a little adult.
Mianmian seemed to think that she fell down accidentally.
That’s right, how can children understand the importance of life and death?
But I might disappoint Mianmian...
Ji Wan's smile gradually faded. She reached out and took the worried child into her arms. She hugged Yun Mian tightly while she was still confused, and then let go.
Ji Wan ruffled the child's hair and said softly, "Mianmian, sister knows. I won't do such dangerous things again. Go back to bed. If you sleep late, you will be taken away by the big bad wolf."
Yun Mian scratched her messy hair, and with the mess on her head, she stared at Ji Wan with her eyes wide open without moving.
But his eyes began to turn red little by little.
Under the moonlight, one can seem to see the faint twinkling of tears.
"Sister, you want to die, right?"
The little girl's soft voice seemed lighter and softer than the night breeze, and yet so fragile that it would be blown away and messed up by the wind if one was not careful, making it easy for people to catch the slight cry hidden in her words.
Ji Wan was stunned, staring blankly at the tiny Yunmian in front of him.
She knows everything?
Those childish words just now...
Yun Mian pursed her lips, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then reached out to hug Sister Ji Wan, pressed her body against her arms, and said sullenly: "Sister, it's good to be alive..."
"There are so many delicious foods to eat when I am alive. I can see beautiful flowers, touch furry cats and dogs, and listen to my mother tell me more bedtime stories. I will be so happy every day..."
Yun Mian sniffed, looked at Ji Wan eagerly with tears on her face, pursed her lips and whispered: "Sister, please don't die, okay? If you die, there will be nothing, it will be pitch black everywhere, and you won't even be able to see the moon and stars in the sky. It will be very scary and lonely."
"Someone in the community jumped down before." Yun Mian said softly: "Mom always covers my ears, but I heard it all. Mom said they were too scared, so they couldn't hold on and chose to die... Sister, are you scared too? What are you afraid of? Tell me secretly, I'm very powerful, I can help you drive away those scary monsters, so you won't be scared to death, right?"
Yun Mian looked up at Ji Wan. The child's pair of dark eyes had been washed by tears, and became clearer and cleaner under the moonlight.
She knew how terrible death was. She took a lot of medicine, did a lot of chemotherapy, and received a lot of fluids every day. She felt so much pain every day but still wanted to live, even if it was just to be able to see her mother one more time.
Yun Mian cherishes every moment of her life too much. She is like a down-and-out beggar. Even if she has countless wealth one day, she will still be as stingy and cherish every seemingly worthless copper coin in her hand like a little miser.
Death is so scary, why should we embrace it with open arms?
To live...
Live and hug your mother, live and hug the flowers, grass, cats, dogs, and many other lovely and warm people and things.
Yunmian raised her head and rubbed her chin in her sister's arms, hugged her tightly like a puppy, and muttered: "Sister, tell me, I can help you drive away the bad guys and monsters. I love you so much. If you die, I will cry for a long time. I look really pitiful when I cry..."
Ji Wan: “…”
system:"……"
Although I'm very touched, Mianmian, isn't your way of threatening me a bit too pathetic?
Ji Wan reached out and hugged the naughty kid in his arms, staring at the moon hanging high in the sky for a long time, and then whispered: "Then I will tell Mianmian secretly, and Mianmian can't tell anyone else, okay?"
Yun Mian nodded vigorously, staring at her without blinking, listening attentively and attentively.
Ji Wan thought about it, packaged the events of his past life in words, and then hugged the child and slowly confided the story.
"Tomorrow morning, a very scary and evil villain will transform into me and trick my friends into doing bad things together. She will also kill many, many people. I can't beat her, and no one can beat her, so I can only find a way to make her not show up again, or... show up later."
These are the biggest secrets of Ji Wan's two lives. Maybe it was because life was too hard and difficult in her previous life, or maybe she had been suppressed to the extreme by repeated hatred, or maybe she finally had someone listening to her and hugging her... In short, no matter what the reason, after Ji Wan spoke out her pain and hatred bit by bit, the string that had been stretched tight seemed to be adjusted and slowly relaxed.
She lowered her head and rubbed the child's fuzzy head, then slowly said: "Mianmian, thank you for saving me, but..."
He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Where is that bad guy?"
Yunmian was so angry that she clenched her fists and asked fiercely with a stern face, "Sister, where is that bad guy now?"
As soon as Dayou Ji Wan answered, she rushed over and punched the bad guy to pieces.
The system slowly flew and landed in a flowerpot. A child had stepped on the flowerpot to make a small hole, and the system fit perfectly inside it.
The perfect auditorium for watching plays.
Ji Wan was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his hand to pat the impulsive child in his arms, and said with a smile: "Does Mianmian still want to fight with her?"
Yunmian didn't smile at all. Her chubby face turned serious and she said fiercely, "I don't want to fight."
But to kill her!
In Yunmian's cognition, death is the most terrible and severe punishment.
Since that bad guy wants to do so many bad things, Yun Mian will kill her so that she will never have the chance to hurt anyone again.
Fighting will only cause injuries and pain, but death can end all the beautiful things a person longs for.
Yunmian knows this better than anyone else alive.
But Yunmian did not express his thoughts.
She just stubbornly asked where the bad guy was, but in fact the white silk thread on her fingertips was already shining coldly in the moonlight.
The system looked at this scene and sighed almost silently.
Perhaps many children are kind little angels who love animals, respect the elderly and the young, and are polite and civilized.
Yunmian is also, but Yunmian may also not be.
She doesn't have a very clear-cut moral perspective. Her soul has died countless times. She only listens to her mother, but her mother probably never told her: You can't kill.
Who would talk to an unarmed child about whether or not it is okay to kill someone?
But children are the group that cannot distinguish right from wrong. Yun Mian is somewhere between good and evil. Unknowingly, her strong soul and strength have given her the ability to kill. The only one who can restrain her murderous intention is "mom".
But the system scanned and glanced into the bedroom on the other side.
Yun Jinshu leaned lightly against the door, and from beginning to end he had no intention of showing up.
She had clearly gotten more information from Ji Wan's words, but she did nothing, not even stopping Yun Mian from asking about the woman's whereabouts.
Because Yun Jinshu was betting that Ji Wan would be defenseless against Yun Mian, and that Ji Wan would reveal the whereabouts of that person.
really……
Ji Wan spread out her left hand, revealing the jade pendant she had been holding tightly before jumping off the building, and whispered, "Actually, I don't know either, but I think she might be hiding in here."
Yun Mian stared at the jade pendant in her hand, and the murderous intent that had just been ready to burst out silently dissipated.
Uncle System said that his mission is to take this thing back.
Besides, how could such a big person hide in such a small thing?
This can't hide anyone.
The development of the matter was a little beyond the child's young understanding.
She blinked in confusion, then asked in a low voice: "Sister, can I pick it up and have a look? I'll be gentle and won't break it."
Ji Wan raised his hand and motioned for her to take it.
Yunmian carefully took the jade pendant in her hand.
Behind her, the task progress suddenly popped up in front of the system and soared to 100% in an instant.
system:"!!!"
Done?! Just tap and it's done?!
Don't tease me!
Yunmian had no idea about this. She held the red string and swung the jade pendant in front of her eyes. She turned it over and over again, but still had a lot of questions in her mind: "Sister, where is the bad guy?"
She saw nothing!
Ji Wan didn't say anything. She didn't know whether she should reveal such an important thing to the child. She was afraid that after her death, Yun Mian would accidentally expose this matter, which would then cause more people to scramble for it. At that time, that woman would definitely appear again, and her death would be a joke.
However, it seemed that Yun Mian did not force an answer. She just held the jade pendant curiously and looked at it in the moonlight for a few seconds, and then prepared to return it to Ji Wan.
"Sister, this is for you~"
The small jade pendant and the red string fell into Ji Wan's hand.
Ji Wan held it tightly, and once again strengthened his mind of death bit by bit.
The system looked at the task progress bar that dropped back to "0" in an instant, and for the first time, it had the thought of death.
Only the instigator, little Yun Mianmian, yawned sleepily, stood up, grabbed Ji Wan's arm and pulled her into the house.
"Sister, I have no strength left." She felt her hands were as soft as the noodles cooked by her mother. She held Ji Wan's hand with her drooping hands, and pulled her towards the house, whispering, "I can't take you upstairs, sister, you can sleep at my house. Speak softly, don't wake up my mother~"
Ji Wan was dragged up from the ground by her.
The main reason is that I don’t want to embarrass the child and am afraid of making her cry again.
As Ji Wan came to Yun Mian's bedroom, things seemed to become more difficult.
She couldn't leave Yunmian and jump off the building to die, right? How much psychological trauma would that cause when Mianmian woke up tomorrow?
But if I don't die, it will be too late by eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
Before, Ji Wan didn't even dare to tell her classmates that she would be replaced, because in her previous life, all the people who discovered that something was wrong with her were killed by the woman at the first opportunity. Ji Wan didn't dare to take the risk and could only keep it in her heart. But now that she is about to die, she seems to be less fearless.
Anyway, after she dies, a woman can no longer use her body to deceive everyone.
Ji Wan lay on the bed, thinking quietly.
The little girl who led her to this bedroom only left her a night light and walked out holding a pillow.
Before leaving, she ran back worriedly, leaned over to the bed and whispered in Ji Wan's ear: "Sister, please don't do bad things secretly when I'm not around. I really cry, and my crying is especially pitiful. Sister, you can't be a bad guy who bullies other children. Let's make a pinky promise~"
She raised her short little finger and insisted on making a pinky promise before she left.
Ji Wan: “…”
Are all kids nowadays so smart?
This college student just couldn't find any loopholes to exploit from her?
Seeing Yun Mian tiptoeing and gently closing the door, Ji Wan sighed helplessly and collapsed in the child's soft quilt in a daze.
Anyway, there is still a whole night until eight o'clock, and she just made a pinky promise. She can't go back on her word so quickly.
She didn't know that the child who had just made the pinky promise had actually changed his mind and become a puppy the moment he made the pinky promise.
The system watched helplessly as the silk thread on Yun Mian's fingertips was firmly tied to Ji Wan's little finger at the moment of the hook, and the whole system was a little dumbfounded.
"What about the promise of clenching your fist and hanging yourself together for a hundred years?" It couldn't help but feel sorry for the protagonist. Its host was really too clever.
In response to its questioning, Yunmian sneaked into her mother's room holding a pillow, climbed onto the bed like a thief, and got into the quilt. When she hugged her mother and closed her eyes contentedly to sleep, she whispered to the system uncle's questions.
"Woof~"
Puppies are puppies, and they are the cutest!
system:"……"
I should have known that Yun Mianmian is a shameless puppy through and through!
Damn it! Why am I feeling a little relieved that my baby has grown up?!
After the little one who had secretly crawled into her arms fell asleep, Yun Jinshu slowly opened her eyes, tucked in the quilt for her daughter, then got out of bed, put on her shoes, opened the door, walked to the door of another bedroom, and knocked lightly with her hand.
The system dog followed the host mother stealthily, with exploration and curiosity written all over its body.
(Let me see what the hell you are doing behind the host's back!)
Yun Jinshu could not sense its existence.
After the door in front of her opened, she smiled at the surprised and defensive Ji Wan and said gently, "Let's talk."
The door closed again.
Yun Jinshu leaned against the door and whispered, "I'm sorry, after becoming a mother, the slightest movement of my child can wake me up."
So she saw and heard clearly Yun Mian’s rescue and conversation with Ji Wan.
Ji Wan thought of it the moment he saw her appear outside the door, so he didn't ask anything at this time, but just nodded dejectedly.
She didn't think she could talk about anything with Yun Jinshu.
She didn't know what went wrong, causing both the mother and daughter to have abilities that were completely different from what she remembered, but even so, what? That woman...was not someone that an ordinary person or a psychic could deal with.
What's more, she has the jade pendant as a means of saving her life. Killing her is harder than climbing to the sky. Otherwise, why would she choose such a stupid way of dealing with the problem as jumping off a building to commit suicide?
So even if Yun Jinshu heard those words, Ji Wan didn't care now.
It might be a bit of a bummer, but Ji Wan had no other way to go. There was nothing she could do except to bummer and wait for death.
"You can't die." Yun Jinshu interrupted her thoughts with a word.
Ji Wan looked up in surprise and met Yun Jinshu's calm and gentle eyes.
Yun Jinshu said to her, "You are not sure where that person is, right? This jade pendant... If I am not mistaken, it is probably a very important thing, at least it can make your life better in the end of the world. But you think that person is hidden in the jade pendant, so she should be a soul? Can she take over your body? Or completely replace you?"
Ignoring Ji Wan's gradually shocked look, Yun Jinshu thought for a moment and said, "Death is the most undesirable way. You cannot guarantee that after you die, that person will not live in place of someone else. If so, your death will make things worse."
At least if Ji Wan was alive, even if he was replaced by another soul, Yun Jinshu, as an insider, would have a certain degree of defense and coping methods. But if Ji Wan died and that existence became something else... it would be hard to guard against.
Rather than saying that Ji Wan was possessed by another soul, based on the current situation, it would be better to say that Ji Wan was a body that could be locked. Once the soul entered Ji Wan's body, Yun Jinshu would be able to lock her, which would be much easier to deal with than letting the other party hide in the dark.
"Even when necessary, we can still seek help from the country. Compared with the power of the country, no matter how powerful she is, she will always be suppressed."
Yun Jinshu proposed a direction that Ji Wan had never thought of.
Lock that soul in your own body?
If you really can't handle it, report it to the state?
Ever since she was reborn, she has been trapped in the obsession of witnessing the deaths of her relatives and friends time and time again in her previous life. All her starting points seem to be to prevent that existence from descending into her body and doing evil, but... what if, as Yun Jinshu said, she let that woman appear and then find a way to get rid of her?
Although this is risky, it really seems to be much better than the unknown dangers hiding in the dark?
The system was also stunned when it heard this.
It originally thought that the host's mother had some way to deal with that soul, but...was this the rhythm of turning a doomsday salvation article into a golden finger article to be submitted to the country? !
Yun Jinshu observed Ji Wan's expression. His eyes stayed on the jade pendant on her neck for two seconds, then he left the bedroom silently.
Trying to solve any problem on your own is the stupidest approach, especially when it comes to something that involves the lives and deaths of countless people.
Yun Jinshu glanced at the moonlight pouring onto the balcony, shook his head, and stopped moving around at night to make noticeable noises.
Yunmian was awakened by the heat.
The summer without air conditioning was so unbearable that she couldn't even stay in bed even if she wanted to. She had to get out of bed with her messy hair.
After opening the door and saying good morning to the system uncle who was squatting in the succulent pot in the living room, Yunmian ran over to hug her mother who was making breakfast, and then hurried back to her bedroom.
Ji Wan was in the bedroom and had woken up a long time ago, but she didn't come out for fear of an accident.
She didn't expect Yunmian to suddenly barge in. After hanging the jade pendant back around her neck, she forced a smile and said good morning to Yunmian.
"Sister, my mother is making delicious steamed eggs. They are super delicious." Yun Mian was unreasonable and pulled her out.
Ji Wan: "...Mianmian, it's almost eight o'clock. I won't go out yet. You and your mother have dinner and leave me alone. I'll stay here for a while."
She was still afraid of accidents and that Yun Jinshu and Yun Mian would be implicated.
The first thing she did when she woke up in the morning was to report her location and safety to everyone upstairs, but there were too many people upstairs. After a brief discussion with Yun Jinshu, she still chose not to go back, nor did she tell them the truth.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss, at least it allows them to live a little longer.
Yun Mian tilted her head and looked at her. After a while, she nodded slowly: "Okay, what time is it now?"
Ji Wan was always keeping an eye on the time, so he answered without hesitation: "It's already 7:46, only 14 minutes left."
She remembered this time clearly, because the first sentence she heard when she woke up in her previous life was: "Good morning, it's eight o'clock now. From now on, I will take over your body. Do you like this sense of ritual?"
Every time he recalled this sentence, Ji Wan wanted to scold that woman for her foul language. Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered, let alone that she is a living person?
Fuck your sense of ritual! This sense of ritual is most suitable when you die!
Ji Wan couldn't help but let his thoughts wander as he thought about it. He had already started thinking about how to best display his swearing skills when talking to that woman later.
Then he was interrupted by the soft voice of a child.
"Sister, are you scared?"
Ji Wan's fingers were held by Yun Mian's small hand. She shook them with her eyes shining brightly.
Ji Wan thought about it and nodded honestly: "Actually, I'm scared, but I don't seem to be particularly scared."
It was magical, but when she thought of what Sister Yun said last night, especially the fact that she could seek help from the country if she encountered a situation that could not be solved, she inexplicably felt a strong sense of security in her heart.
Not only that, she even felt a little thrilled, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was scared or excited and nervous.
