Chapter 969: Horrible Past
There was a lot of noise all around, and endless crying among the crowds of people.
Some people were persuading, some were questioning, and some were sighing.
The buzzing eardrums only clearly heard a voice as clear as a spring. Even when a gun was pointed at his head, he still did not panic at all. The voice sounded calmly and subduedly.
"I just want to light a stick of incense."
The girl hiding behind everyone was like an outsider, watching the old man pointing his gun at the teenager with a blank and confused look.
What's going on?
She thought.
Why did he just appear on the sea where my mother died?
Why was he at my mother's funeral, with my grandfather pointing a gun at his head?
Then the old man's dark and aged voice rang in her ears.
"unnecessary."
The voice was so heavy in her ears that it was like a dark cloud blocking her throat, making her feel suffocated.
"I know I shouldn't be angry with you. Saving you was my daughter's own choice, but you'd better get out of my sight right now."
"Otherwise I can't guarantee when I'll pull the trigger."
The old man's voice was forced out from between his teeth, and his heavy breathing was like the wail of some wounded beast.
Shen Pianpian looked at her grandfather steadily, then looked at the young man with a familiar face.
It seemed as if someone patted him from behind, and the hand holding the three incense sticks fell down, and the three incense sticks fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
The boy was dripping with water and turned around slowly.
His back was still straight and tall, but there was a sense of decadence in it.
The mourning hall was filled with black figures. He followed an old man and walked from the pale light into the endless night.
Shen Pianpian turned around again.
The ghostly figure kept talking in her ear.
The sounds that were originally buzzing suddenly came clearly into her ears.
"If the Cheng family hadn't been invited here, the eldest lady wouldn't have died at all."
"I heard that the kidnappers chose this moment to strike because they saw that the young master of the Cheng family had finally gone out and was far away in Yungang."
"When she was found, the young lady was covered in blood and had been hit by many bullets. Those were all blocked for Master Cheng while she was escaping."
"Why did they kidnap Master Cheng and the eldest lady together? This is really unfortunate."
"But I heard that when they finally found her, the young lady was still alive, and she even left a last message to Mr. Huo..."
From here on, the sounds behind it became blurred again.
From this moment on, the dream silently connected with the familiar past.
Those dilapidated and ugly flowers, my own heart-wrenching screams, and my grandfather’s choked hug.
She was clearly using her original body, and was clearly in Xiao Yunduan's body, shouting with her, but she felt like an outsider in a trance.
The world is upside down.
The truth she had originally thought of was torn off the mask, revealing an even more hideous appearance.
The pale corpse lying on the beach, the familiar yet unfamiliar boy with scarlet on his shoulders in the bloody setting sun, the muzzle of his grandfather's gun just pointed at the boy's forehead, and this cold, crowded and empty mourning hall.
Why did you forget?
Why have I never remembered it?
Why!
In the water tank, the girl frowned, and bright red blood oozed from her lips that were bitten unconsciously, spreading like ink in the water.
Her expression was slightly distorted, as if she was enduring extreme pain.
The blue water was stirred up by her unconscious struggle, making a dull sound.
Her lips opened silently, as if she was about to utter a painful whimper or scream, but it was all buried in the sound of water. The diluted hallucinogen poured back into her throat, turning her into a deeper drowsiness and pain.
