Chapter 30: 100 Days of Cooking for the Villain Master - Day 97
It was pitch black under the Forgotten River and nothing could be seen.
But the feeling of a skeleton passing over Zhao Miaomiao's body gave her goose bumps all over.
The suffocating feeling of water surrounds the whole body, making it hard to breathe.
I can only keep sinking like this until I lose all my strength, until I can no longer resist...
“Miaomiao?
Miaomiao, why are you sleeping again?
Get up quickly.
A gentle and kind voice came.
Zhao Miaomiao opened her eyes, only to find that there was a blue sky above her head. The familiar face of the director appeared in front of her, smiling at her.
"Miaomiao, you come here to slack off again."
"Grandma Dean..."
Zhao Miaomiao found it a little hard to believe what she saw.
It's been so many years, so long that she can't even dream about the director's grandmother anymore. How could it be...
The director smiled and extended her hand to Zhao Miaomiao, "Come, your friends are waiting for you.
Today is your birthday, did you forget? "
Zhao Miaomiao was stunned again, "My birthday?"
The director smiled and reached out to scratch Zhao Miaomiao's nose, "Yes. Child, I met you at the door today.
Didn’t we agree to celebrate this day as our birthday? "
Zhao Miaomiao's eyes were a little sore, and she nodded, "Oh, yes, I forgot.
I haven’t celebrated my birthday in a long time.”
“Let’s go.
Your friends are waiting for you in the restaurant.
Everyone bought you a birthday cake and prepared gifts."
The director's wife reached out her hand to Zhao Miaomiao again.
Zhao Miaomiao looked at those hands for a long time, and finally stretched out her hand and held the hand of the dean's grandmother.
The moment Zhao Miaomiao shook the hospital director's hand, she smiled strangely, pulled Zhao Miaomiao and said, "Come on, kid, I'll take you to celebrate your birthday."
Zhao Miaomiao followed the director's grandmother, step by step into the orphanage gate, walked through the corridor, and went to the restaurant.
The further you go, the dimmer the light becomes.
The smile on the director's grandmother's face became more and more weird.
But Zhao Miaomiao noticed it.
She did not lose her mind and was not deceived by this illusion.
She was willing to sink and be destroyed.
Even if it's fake, it doesn't matter.
Because it has been so long since I remembered the director's grandmother's face...
It's been too long, I can't go back to this place...
Zhao Miaomiao looked greedily at everything in the orphanage in the illusion.
There are photo walls, notice boards, and my own awards on the wall...
This is the place she can never return to. After she turned fifteen, she chose to seal it away in the deepest part of her memory.
She had always thought she had let it go, but now seeing all this again, she realized how much she missed this place and how much she longed to return to it...
As long as I can go back, what does it matter even if it is a dream, an illusion, or even hell?
If this is hell, then let me live in hell.
Thinking of this, Zhao Miaomiao held the director's hand even tighter.
The director looked back at her and asked, "What's wrong, child? We're almost there. Just walk past that restaurant and you'll be with your little friend forever."
Zhao Miaomiao smiled at the director's grandmother and said, "Okay.
Whatever you want to take from me is fine.
Let me stay here forever."
The director's grandmother was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha, you're quite interesting.
Knowing that all this is fake, are you still willing to stay here?"
Zhao Miaomiao frowned slightly as she looked at the crazy "Director Grandma".
No, the dean grandma in her memory was not like this.
The “Dean’s grandmother” showed a scary face, stretched out her hand, and extended it to Zhao Miaomiao, “Since that’s the case, there’s no need for me to act anymore.
Give me your soul!
Give me your soul!
You will stay at the bottom of the Forgotten River forever in my place, enduring the torment of an endless cycle of reincarnation!"
Zhao Miaomiao slowly closed her eyes, she didn't care.
She didn't care what the evil ghost said, she just wanted to go back to the orphanage.
The place she could never go back to.
So it doesn’t matter even if it’s an illusion.
It doesn't matter even if she's alone.
Anyway, I've already died once, so what does it matter where my soul is?
After that fire, all her love and happiness had been taken away.
In fact, if she could, she would have died with them in that fire.
Fortunately, it's not too late now, right...
Looking at Zhao Miaomiao's obedient look, the evil ghost laughed crazily, "Hahahahaha, should I say you are naive or stupid?
Do you think this illusion is good?
This is all fake!
One day you'll go crazy.
You will find that although you live in your favorite fantasy world, the people around you have no souls. They will just wander around aimlessly. No one can talk to you, and no one can accompany you until old age.
You're the only one from beginning to end!
There will always be only you!
Innocent people, this illusion is not a gift, but the most terrible punishment in hell.
You stay here forever!
Just like that little doll!
Being corrupted by evil spirits, losing your soul, losing everything, forever and ever..."
Before the evil ghost finished speaking, Zhao Miaomiao heard the three words "little baby" and opened her eyes suddenly.
“No, number 99!
Small system, still waiting for me!"
After saying that, Zhao Miaomiao turned around and ran away.
The evil ghost was stunned for a second.
What...what's happening?
Is it because I talked too much that she ran away?
The evil ghost hurriedly chased after her, continuing to disguise herself as the director’s grandmother, and shouted behind Zhao Miaomiao: “Miaomiao, where are you going?
Oops, wait for me."
But Zhao Miaomiao was concerned about the safety of No. 99, so he couldn't stop it at all.
She was selfish.
How can it end like this?
No. 99 is still waiting for her!
If I just disappear like this, what will No. 99 do?
"Small system!"
Zhao Miaomiao ran back to the place where she first woke up, looking at the empty walls around her, not knowing where to go out.
The evil ghost had already chased over, and when he saw Zhao Miaomiao, he tried to coax her, saying, "Child, be good, come to me.
I'll take you to celebrate your birthday."
Zhao Miaomiao rolled her eyes at the evil ghost. "You're not pretending at all. You've already exposed your true nature. Why are you pretending now? Do you think I'm mentally retarded?"
Devil: ………………
I never thought that after staying under the Forgetful River for so many years, I would be confronted by someone one day.
But the evil ghost saw that the illusionary disguise was useless, so he simply transformed into his original form.
It's a female ghost.
Half of the body was rotten, one of the eyes had fallen out, one hand was a skeleton, and some rotten flesh was hanging on the other hand. One side of the face was covered by the hair, and the other half was rotten to the point of being exposed to the bones. It was really disgusting.
The female ghost hunched over and walked towards Zhao Miaomiao, smiling sinisterly and saying, "Do you think you can escape?
In this illusion, unless you are willing to let go of the past and see reality clearly, even if the Tathagata Buddha comes, he will not be able to save you. You are now unable to escape."
Zhao Miaomiao listened and nodded, "Oh, so that's how you get out. Thank you."
Female ghost: ………………
Um?
Am I talking too much again?
