Chapter 50 Memories
Dead silence and endless darkness enveloped Li Muhan.
He was not obstructed by any wronged souls or evil spirits, but he could not hear any sound from the outside world.
Just like that, he rushed towards the top floor of the tower.
But with every level he went up, Li Muhan felt his heartbeat accelerating.
When he finally reached the top of the tower, there was only a broken door in front of him.
When he saw this door, Li Muhan was stunned.
Because he is very familiar with this...
This was the door to the children's room in the orphanage where he spent his childhood.
......
Outside the tower, Chi Yuan stared at the top of the tower silently.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and Huang Zizai, who noticed this phenomenon, asked with some confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Captain... I think there's something wrong with this alien today. It doesn't seem to be trying to hide."
"Hey, where can it hide? We're here to destroy its lair today. This guy will lead the charge. If he's gone, you can take all the souls in this tower."
"No, he will not fail."
Chi Yuan crossed his hands in front of his chest, as if praying.
"You're not really in love with that guy, are you? No chance, no chance. Do you know who his mistress is?"
"Just a little bat."
"Wow, you're quite arrogant, worthy of being the descendant of the mythical beast Chongming Bird."
Huang Zizai chuckled a few times and did not remain idle.
"Everyone, be alert! We cannot let a single soul escape! Keep a close eye on those outside. Don't let anything unexpected happen to the Realm Decree. We cannot let anyone outside witness what we're doing here today."
The outer perimeter of the tower block at this time.
A faint barrier surrounded the entire area.
A young girl was leaning on the hood of a car drinking coffee.
This person is none other than Lin Ze.
"Director Lin, are you sure you don't need us to notify Daoist Master Huang that you're here?"
Several staff members from the Supernatural Management Department spoke respectfully to Lin Ze.
"Why notify him? Huang Zizai can handle these things. I'm just here to observe your usual work status. It's very good. Keep up the hard work."
“Thank you Director Lin for your recognition.”
Lin Ze sipped the coffee in the cup, his eyes looking towards the top of the tower, still with that smile on his face that no one could see through.
"Today is your first test."
......
Li Muhan slowly pushed open the door, and memories seemed to flood him like a tide at that moment.
Fear and anger also came with it.
“Li Muhan!!”
A sturdy woman holding a stick in her hand looked at Li Muhan who was standing at the door.
She was more than two meters tall, like a giant. After seeing her, Li Muhan's breathing became rapid.
"... Zhang, Teacher Zhang..."
"You sneaked out again? You'd rather be a beggar than stay here, right?!"
The tall woman picked up Li Muhan. Li Muhan didn't dare to resist at all. He could only huddle his body and let her drag him into a small dark room.
"I clearly told you!! A sponsor would come to inspect the orphanage today! How dare you sneak away?! Do you know how embarrassed I am today?!"
Snap——
The stick hit Li Muhan's arm hard. He instantly felt his right arm completely numb and couldn't even lift it up.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang, I'm hungry..."
His mouth began to speak uncontrollably, and the words that came out were exactly the same as the scene he remembered.
"You're hungry?! Fine, I'll make you hungry!! I'll make you hungry!"
The woman suddenly grabbed a mouse from under her feet and crushed it to death.
"Aren't you hungry? Come, eat!!!"
She grabbed Li Muhan's hair and stuffed the dead mouse into his mouth.
"I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! I won't do it again!! I won't do it again!!"
Li Muhan's cries echoed in the room, and at this moment, in the darkness, a young girl was watching all this silently.
She had long black hair and was wearing a white dress. Her eyes were full of love as she looked at Li Muhan.
Just when half of the dead mouse was about to be stuffed into Li Muhan's mouth, she slowly walked to Li Muhan's side, squatted down, and gently hugged Li Muhan from behind.
"Be good...don't be afraid."
At this moment, the tall woman's body disappeared without a trace.
The surrounding scene also began to slowly change, becoming brighter and warmer.
Li Muhan began to lie on the ground and retched. Although there was no dead mouse in his mouth, the feeling was too real. He almost felt like he was back in the orphanage.
"......Who are you?"
He wiped the corner of his mouth and looked back at the dark-haired woman.
"Child, are you in pain?"
The woman looked at Li Muhan worriedly, but Li Muhan stood up vigilantly and took a step back.
"You made me see those things just now?"
Li Muhan asked.
The woman nodded slightly, then shook her head and said.
"Those are your memories. I didn't let you see them, you made me see them. Now I've dispelled those nightmares for you."
"Are you the alien that sits atop the tower, binding the souls of the dead?"
The woman slowly stood up and gave Li Muhan a gentle smile.
"I just dispelled their painful memories. I didn't detain anyone. They stayed here on their own initiative."
Then the woman slowly approached Li Muhan.
She gently raised her hand and stroked Li Muchan's face. A tear actually seeped out of her eyes, and Li Muchan found that he could not move a step.
"And you...your nightmares are so painful, child. I can make them go away for you. I can make everything better...like this."
The woman's hand slowly touched Li Muhan's temples.
The next moment, the scene around Li Muhan changed again.
This time it was a cozy little room, almost the room Li Muhan had dreamed of in his childhood.
He raised his hands and saw that his hands and feet had become as small as a child's.
Boom boom boom——
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Mu Han, are you awake?"
Li Muhan was extremely familiar with this voice, yet also very unfamiliar, because the owner of this voice should not be so gentle.
Snap——
The door was opened.
Sure enough, it was Teacher Zhang who entered the room, but she was completely different from what he remembered. She was beautiful, with gentle and elegant manners, and a kind smile on her face.
"Now that you're awake, why don't you open the door for the teacher? Today is the welfare home's prayer day, come quickly."
Li Muhan stood there in a daze. He didn't know why this happened. That Teacher Zhang... could be so gentle.
"Poor child..."
Seeing that Li Muchan did not respond, Teacher Zhang slowly squatted down and held Li Muchan's thin body in his arms.
"Did you dream about your parents again? Child... I'm sorry, I can't bring your parents back, but the teacher is your mother... I will always be with you until you can face everything on your own."
