Although several years have passed, Bai Jing still has some impression of what happened back then.
At that time, Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi were not born yet, and Xiang Yan's parents took Xiang Yan to live in a second-tier city.
Xiang Yan could no longer remember where the city was. He only remembered that there seemed to be more water there, and that everyone around had known each other for a long time. Most of them were relatives, and more than half of them were surnamed Su.
When Xiang Yan and his family first moved there, the attitude of the locals towards them was not very good. It was only after they lived there for a while that the attitude gradually improved.
Xiang Yan originally thought that they would stay there until that incident happened...
Twelve years ago.
June is always the hottest time of the year. Except for people who have to go out to work, the rest of the elderly and children usually stay under the big trees at the doorstep to cool off.
Look, today, a lot of old people and children gathered under the big banyan tree in the community, chattering and gossiping.
Sometimes they talk about how this family's child did in the exam, sometimes they talk about that family's couple who had another fight. It's quite lively.
Suddenly, black smoke rose from a distance, and as the black smoke drifted, people's cries for help were heard.
"Huh? What happened there?"
“…It’s on fire!”
"What?!!"
"Hurry, put out the fire!"
“…”
The crowd was in an uproar, then immediately reacted and rushed towards the fire.
…
After rushing over and putting out the fire, everyone fell silent.
There was a house where people didn't escape and were burned to death...
All those who were burned to death had the surname Su, and I heard they were from the same family tree.
Everyone thought the fire was an accident, except... Xiang Yan's family.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yan suddenly realized why he felt that the woman in white lying in a pool of blood in Zhushan Village looked familiar.
Because he had seen a similar scene when he was a child!
The fire in that building was not an accident at all, but was man-made. The fire was set to eliminate evidence of murder!
All of this was seen by the young Xiang Yan who stayed at home.
The young Xiang Yan witnessed the brutal murder in the building opposite from his window.
He saw with his own eyes that familiar people were killed by a knife, and then they lay in a pool of blood with their eyes wide open unwillingly...
Then……
Then what happened?
Xiang Yan closed his eyes slightly and frowned.
He... couldn't remember what happened next.
The memory seems to be covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult to see clearly.
It seemed like something was wrong with this memory of his childhood and he couldn't remember it.
If Xiang Yan had not gone to Zhushan Village before and happened to see the woman in white, he would not have had any memory of the fire.
And for some reason, Xiang Yan's parents always seemed to not want Xiang Yan to remember what happened. Over the years, they never mentioned what happened, as if they had never been to that city.
"Hmm..." Xiang Yan felt a little headache. Some images flashed through his mind intermittently. He couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his head.
"elder brother?"
"What's wrong, brother?"
As if they heard Xiang Yan's voice, Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi raised their heads and asked worriedly.
After a while, Xiang Yan felt that his headache didn't seem to hurt anymore, so he put down his hand, rubbed his brother and sister's hair, and comforted them: "I'm fine."
“…”
Xiang Yin, Xiang Shi: (looks suspiciously) Stare—
"I'm really fine." Xiang Yan had a smile on his face and opened his arms relaxedly, allowing Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi to take a closer look at him.
After a careful observation, they found that there was indeed nothing wrong with Xiang Yan. Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi temporarily put aside their doubts and continued to rest beside Xiang Yan.
At an angle that Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi could not see, the smile on Xiang Yan's face faded, his eyes were slightly half-closed, and unclear thoughts kept flashing in his eyes.
[Dear...] Seeing Xiang Yan who was obviously not right, the system's voice could not help but hesitate, [Are you... okay?]
After a few seconds, or maybe a few minutes, Xiang Yan spoke in a flat tone, without any emotion, "System, is there something wrong with my memory?"
[Hmm?] The system was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and replied: [Although I got some of your information when we just bound, we won’t easily snoop into things like memory.]
After all, the system is a regular system born from the Space-Time Bureau, and it is not on the same level as those sneaky systems that like to spy on the host's privacy.
After a pause, Xiang Yan changed the topic and asked: [Have my parents ever taken me to a hospital or something like that?]
The system said that there was nothing beyond the scope of science in the world Xiang Yan was in before. In other words, the problem with Xiang Yan’s memory could only be related to the hospital doctors, and in Xiang Yan’s memory, he had nothing about the hospital.
[Dear, please wait a moment. I will check.] The system responded.
For the system, something with solid evidence, like medical records, is easier to find than something as private as memories.
After a while, the system brought Xiang Yan a piece of information about...hypnosis!
"..."Xiang Yan stared at the information found by the system in front of him with a complicated expression, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
On the other side, Bai Jing also shared what Xiang Yan remembered, and also saw the information about hypnosis, but he didn't have too much energy to express his feelings now.
because……
There was a sudden movement in the wasteland near him!!!
"..." Bai Jing held the Demon-Suppressing Sword and looked vigilantly at the grave in the wasteland that suddenly moved. There was no expression on his face, and only a few thoughts were left in his heart.
[Ahhh, what kind of horror movie opening is this? ! ! Does it have to be so exciting?] Bai Jing thought to himself as he slowly moved his feet, wanting to cry but not being able to.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang
A cloud of dust flew up, making the already unclear environment even more blurry.
"roar……"
“Roar…”
One by one, skeletons crawled out of the cemetery using their hands and feet, and then roared towards Bai Jing as they crawled.
Bai Jing pointed the Demon-Subduing Sword at the skeleton that was crawling over. On the surface, his eyes looked sharp and his movements were decisive, but he couldn't help but think of the images of the Su family members he knew when he was a child.
As a result, although Bai Jing still has a lot of moves now, there is always a hint of hesitation in them, and he does not have the courage of the first two levels at all...
Achen and Ameng looked at Bai Jing’s current level and felt a little surprised.
After all, they were used to seeing people indulging in the temptation of money and beauty, but this was the first time they had encountered a floor full of skeletons.
As if he couldn't bear to see his disciple's confused and stupid look, Mr. Ling said, "Mirror image, it will not only reflect people's inner desires, but also reflect the deepest fears in people's hearts."
"Huh?" Achen and Ameng looked at Bai Jing in surprise, who was killing everyone with an expressionless face. They felt that he didn't seem like the kind of person who was afraid of such things, right?
