Chapter 457 The Devil "Yun Chen"
Yun Chen always felt that the moon in Kyoto was colder than that anywhere else.
It was like it had been surrounded by foul and evil spirits for a long time, and it was filled with a gloomy aura.
In the past, she always liked to sleep under the window frame where the moonlight shone in. But now that she was in Yan's house, she only liked to curl up in a corner where the moonlight could not reach.
She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, telling herself to fall asleep quickly and sleep well. Especially at times like this, she needed to get enough rest.
Although Huo Gannian is now imprisoned in the heavily guarded Huo Mansion, and she is trapped in the Yan Mansion under surveillance day and night, she believes that as long as they are still alive, they will meet again one day.
She closed her eyes and prepared to go to sleep, but she heard the sound of dripping water in her ears.
At first, she didn't want to care, but the sound of water was so regular and clear that she couldn't sleep at all.
She sat up a little annoyed and wanted to call someone to check if the bamboo basket in the yard was leaking, but then she remembered that this was in Yan's house.
Apart from Yan Shijiu, she didn't know anyone else and didn't know who to order around.
She had no choice but to get up and look for it herself.
When I opened the door, everything was quiet, gray and unlit.
There was no one in the yard, neither the guards nor the servants were there. There was only a blood-red figure squatting on the high wall.
"Brother Feiyu?"
Yun Chen was surprised. When he walked over, he found that Shan Ji was soaked all over. Water kept dripping from the corners of his clothes, drop by drop, and gathered into a small puddle on the ground.
The dripping sound she had just heard came from here.
Shan Ji did not respond and remained motionless.
Yun Chen looked over in surprise and discovered that Shan Ji was wearing a square iron box on his head, which just fit his entire head inside and was stuck on his neck.
This made Yun Chen unable to see Shan Ji's face, so she called out again, "Brother Fei Yu, is that you?" She took a few steps forward and immediately smelled a strong fishy odor coming from Shan Ji.
"Brother Feiyu, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"
Seeing that Shan Ji had not responded, Yun Chen had no choice but to jump onto the wall like him and walk along the narrow edge of the wall, staggering slowly.
The closer they got to Shanji, the stronger the stench became, making Yun Chen's eyes sore.
But she didn't despise him. She slowly approached Shan Ji and squatted down beside him.
Because the edge of the wall was too narrow, she had some difficulty squatting down. She staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, Shan Ji quickly reached out and supported her.
Across the airtight iron box above, the sound of the mountain silence was dull and heavy:
"Don't be afraid, Chen'er, your brother is here."
Yun Chen squatted on the wall and grinned at Shan Ji, but he felt that Shan Ji could not see his smile at all, so he wanted to take off the iron box on his head.
She held the iron box and searched back and forth several times, but found that the entire box was tightly closed, without even a keyhole. It didn't look like it could be opened at all. She really didn't know how Shan Ji put on this thing.
"Brother, isn't this uncomfortable for you? Don't worry, I'll find a way to help you take it off."
Shan Ji shook his head, his voice becoming heavier:
"Chen'er, you will be scared when you see my face."
"Afraid? Are you kidding? You are my childhood friend!" Yun Chen stood up, hugged the iron box with both hands, and pulled it out with force like pulling a carrot.
Logically speaking, with Shan Ji's body weighing her down, she should have faced great resistance when pulling it out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she exerted force, Shan Ji was pulled up into the air and thrown high into the night sky. He rolled several times in the cold and pale moonlight, and then landed lightly on the ground.
"elder brother!"
Yun Chen was frightened and quickly jumped down to help Shan Ji, but the latter suddenly hid back, not wanting her to get any closer, and asked her again:
"Chen'er, are you sure you're not scared after seeing my face?"
She shook her head firmly, strode forward, and hugged the iron box again, preparing to pry it open.
At this moment, there was a "click" sound, and the iron box above Shan Ji's head cracked in the middle, revealing serrations as sharp as the fangs of a ferocious beast.
As the iron box slowly opened, Yun Chen's heart inexplicably became suspended in his arms, and he held his breath nervously.
Then, a strange yet familiar beautiful face appeared before him. Yun Chen was stunned for a long time before he tentatively called out:
"mother?"
The face of the person in the iron box smiled gently. Yun Chen was very surprised. Just as he was about to rush over to hug him, he saw that the facial features slowly changed and became the appearance of Shan Ji.
"Brother Feiyu?" Yun Chen was surprised at this time. Why did Shan Ji and her mother look... so similar?
Just as she was suspicious, the face changed again, and this time it was her own face.
But the expression on his face was darker and more ferocious than anything she had ever seen before. There was a strange smile on his lips as he said to her coldly:
"Idiot! Why don't you just rebel?! Just kill the emperor! How much more fun!"
The feeling of talking to herself face to face was really strange. Yun Chen seemed to be looking at a completely different version of herself that made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She said angrily:
"How could a loyal patriot rebel? If war breaks out, civilians will inevitably be affected. How pitiful are the people of Jingdu City? There are also Anian, Duan Jie, Fu Lin, Rong Yi, Luo Dongdong... Yun Wang, Lian Cheng, my sister-in-law, and so many of my family members. What will happen to them if a rebellion breaks out?"
The "Yun Chen" on the opposite side grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said in a strangely excited voice:
"Then kill them all. Kill the emperor first, then massacre the capital! Be it Huo Gannian or Yun Wang! Kill them all! From now on, you will be free from all ties in this world! You will have no weaknesses! As long as you want, you can kill everyone in the world! Become the king of this world!"
"You're crazy!" Yun Chen shouted in shock, stopping the "Yun Chen" opposite him from speaking.
She felt that the person in front of her was not herself, but some demon or monster that had transformed to scare her. She immediately turned over, got up and ran, trying to get rid of the demon.
But the "Yun Chen" on the opposite side refused to let go, and followed Yun Chen closely, laughing crazily and shouting:
"Kill them! Kill them all! If a man doesn't care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! Hahahaha——"
Yun Chen spread his legs and ran as hard as he could, but he couldn't take a step and couldn't run any further.
Suddenly, the face of "Yun Chen" disappeared, and Shan Ji and his mother's face were left on each side, as if they were forcibly pieced together. He said sadly and anxiously:
"Chen'er! Cheer up! Be firm! Don't be afraid! Mom is here! Brother will always protect you!"
Hearing the voice, Yun Chen stopped and turned back sadly, wanting to hug his mother and Shan Ji.
But just when her hand was about to touch it, the face suddenly turned into that of the devil "Yun Chen", with a fierce look in his eyes and a sinister smile. He said triumphantly, "Ah! I've been fooled!" Then he opened his bloody mouth and bit Yun Chen's neck fiercely.
Yun Chen screamed in fear, his whole body trembling, and finally escaped from the nightmare and truly opened his eyes——
The warm morning light shone on his face, and Yun Chen tried hard to open his eyes and look around.
A group of guards and servants from the Yan Mansion gathered in a circle, looking at her curiously and nervously.
Following their gaze, Yun Chen looked down and was surprised to find that his hands were covered in blood. He was holding a kitchen knife, chopping a live chicken, including the skin, flesh and feathers, almost into minced meat.
She remembered that she was taken to Yan Mansion.
She knew she was sleepwalking again.
This was a worry that Huo Gannian had sought out many famous doctors to diagnose her, but none of them could cure.
After a long time, she and the people around her got used to it.
But this nightmare was really terrifying. In the past, when she sleepwalked, she would just chop vegetables or something, but this time she actually killed a living creature unconsciously.
If there is a next time, will she kill someone in her dream...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly grabbed a rag to wipe the blood off her hands.
At this moment, a tall figure approached from behind, enveloped her with a familiar breath, and wrapped her whole body with warm body temperature.
Yan Shijiu put his arms around her from behind, whispered "I'll do it", held her hand, and gently stopped her movements.
