Chapter 491 My real name is Zhou Dudu
Even at the makeup party before, Zhou Yaya had never taken the initiative to take off the mask on her face.
So this was the first time Jiang Xuxu saw her appearance.
Unlike what she imagined, Zhou Yaya did not completely merge Lu Xuexi's facial features, at most she merged her cheek skin.
It's just that it's obviously just starting to merge, so it doesn't look too obvious.
From Zhou Yaya's face in front of him, he could still see the proliferation of various scars.
They were mottled and covered most of her face.
It was indeed to the extent that it could give people nightmares.
Jiang Xuxu didn't have much surprise in her eyes.
If she had to say, the circle of scars around Zhou Yaya's mouth was more concerning to her than the scars in the grooves on her face.
Zhou Yaya's lips were a little small, obviously her original appearance, but there was a circle of scars growing around her lips, just like...
Jiang Xuxu thought of a possibility, but still couldn't help asking,
"What's going on with that circle around your mouth?"
Zhou Yaya originally took off her mask to see if Jiang Xuxu would have any special reaction, but she didn't expect that Jiang Xuxu was not scared by the scar on her face, but asked about her lip scar first.
Her eyes trembled slightly, only for a moment, and then she quickly closed her eyes.
With his scar-covered face, he slowly raised a sinister smile towards her, pointed at the edge of his lips, and asked her,
"Can't you guess what this scar is? What kind of wound would leave such a scar?"
"Of course it is, repeated stitches with a needle would leave such a scar."
Jiang Xuxu's almond-shaped eyes sank slightly, but he did not interrupt her, just waited quietly for her to speak.
Zhou Yaya obviously had no intention of hiding the secret from her. She stared straight at Jiang Xuxu and spoke again slowly after a while,
"You know, my real name is not Zhou Yaya."
"My original name was Dumb... the Dumb one."
"My parents wanted me to be a mute. I've been called this name since I was old enough to understand."
"You should have guessed my ability. In the Xuanmen, you seem to call it the power of words? But where we are, we call it the crow's mouth. It doesn't work for good but works for bad."
"But no matter what I say, it works. When my parents first knew about my ability, they tried to get me to say some words that they hoped would come true, such as making them multi-millionaires, or having their diseases disappear..."
"But I was still young at that time, and I couldn't fulfill their outrageous wishes, so I just wanted them to become millionaires and help my mother recover from postpartum injuries..."
Although their expectations were not met, her parents were still happy, and even said more than once that she was their baby.
But as they wanted more and more things, and she couldn't do it at all, they would scold her again.
Later, they mastered a rule that as long as it was not used continuously, the power of words would accumulate over time, and the effect would be stronger.
So they began to not allow her to speak.
Whenever she spoke, she would be severely reprimanded.
Later, her parents would even poke her mouth with a needle to let her know that she couldn't talk casually.
This situation continued until her mother became pregnant for the second time.
Dad pointed at mom's belly and asked her to say that the baby in mom's belly would be a boy.
She didn't know why her parents wanted a boy.
But she did it anyway.
She thought that as long as her parents were happy, they would treat her well.
She really made her mother give birth to a boy.
But she was treated even more harshly after having a younger brother.
Only when they needed money or had a wish they wanted to fulfill would they be a little caring to her.
Later, her younger brother began to grow up and imitated his parents. Occasionally, he would hit her with a bowl of rice. If she dodged, he would cry.
Her parents would come together to beat her. When
her younger brother said he wanted to ride a horse, she would lie on the ground and let him ride everywhere. Even if her palms and knees were pierced and bleeding, she would continue to crawl.
When her brother said he wanted to raise a dog, she was locked in a cage like a dog.
Then her brother imitated those who abused dogs and poked her everywhere with a stick.
Zhou Yaya didn't dare to resent her parents, but she resented her brother.
Obviously, he was born into this world because of her.
So that day, she used her power of words on her brother.
"You will be strangled to death by your mother."
That night, her mother had a nightmare and almost strangled her brother to death in her dream.
Just a little bit.
Although her brother was rescued, he suffered intellectual impairment due to lack of oxygen in his brain.
Her parents were furious when they learned the truth. They beat her half to death and even sewed her mouth with a needle to stop her from speaking.
Every day she could only eat some liquid food through the gaps in the stitches, but once the stitches loosened, they would sew them up again...
"It really hurts to have a bullnail pierce through my flesh."
Zhou Yaya touched the scar at the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with hatred. Even after all these years, she felt a dull pain in her mouth every time she thought of it.
"Later, I became completely mute. One day, a few years later, I secretly cut the thread on my mouth..."
Zhou Yaya looked at Jiang Xuxu and said word by word,
"I let them die in a fire."
She said,
"My life is like an experience.
I thought I could start a new life after getting rid of them, but my face was burned by the fire, and the wounds on my face became irreparable scars because of the decay. I became a monster that everyone hated.
No one loved me, and everyone could even step on me, just like you did back then."
Zhou Yaya said,
"Jiang Xuxu, I used to think we were the same."
The same giftedness, but not the slightest love and care from the world.
"You were hated by your adoptive parents, they used you and raised you as a tool for Guan Ruirui...
Even if you left that home and returned to the so-called wealthy family, they still only favored an outsider, Lu Xuexi, and repeatedly ignored your existence.
We should be the same."
They could have been like-minded.
With their abilities, they could even take revenge on the entire society.
But Jiang Xuxu let her down.
She abandoned her.
So now, she is also going to abandon her.
"You know what? Although I overused my power of words, which made it difficult for me to speak, after I changed my voice, I felt that my ability was back to my best."
Zhou Yaya said, looking at Jiang Xuxu with dangerous eyes, and slowly opened her mouth,
"Just like now... your tendons are about to be cut."
Jiang Xuxu's eyes trembled, because at the moment Zhou Yaya finished speaking, the incense lamp above his head suddenly exploded without warning.
The fragments of the light bulb flew directly towards Jiang Xuxu's wrist...
