I’m Flirting with a Man in the Supernatural World - Chapter 99
The moment Chu Huai lost his mind, the baby boy who was led away by the hag suddenly twisted his neck mechanically and looked in his direction.
It was too late to hide, the alarm bells in Chu Huai’s heart were ringing, ready to deal with emergencies at any time, but the baby boy suddenly smiled at him.
He can see himself!
This recognition instantly made Chu Huai’s scalp tingle, but the boy’s black and white eyes were full of curiosity and kindness.
The hag covered the baby boy’s body with a cloth, and the front of his clothes was wet in a large area at the heart. He raised his hand suddenly, covered his empty heart, lowered his head slightly, and muttered: “It’s so empty here, so uncomfortable.”
Upon closer inspection, there was a bit of handsomeness between his brows and eyes.
The ghost woman thought her grandson was talking to her, so she bent her slightly bent body, touched the boy’s head, and said lovingly: “Tianyi, don’t be afraid, it’s grandma who is sorry for you, grandma will find you a heart.”
Chu Huai suddenly heard that title, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he felt that the blood all over his body began to flow backwards, as if he was stared at the ground, unable to move at all.
That boy was… when Jin Tianyi was a child?
Chu Huai’s hands curled up unconsciously, secretly tightened, his fingertips turned white and blue, and his heart throbbed in pain.
His consciousness is clear, he can realize that he is dreaming, he seems to understand now, he is just a bystander.
Chu Huai really wanted to know whether what he saw was true or not.
The dream was so real that he couldn’t breathe.
Before Jin Tianyi was born, he was strangled by his grandmother and cut out his heart…?
Lost his own mother…?
Become the walking dead…?
This is the part of Jin Tianyi’s missing memory…?
When Chu Huai looked up again, the ghost woman and the baby boy were already far away from him. The mountain forest came to an end, and a black hole-like illusory yet real hole appeared in the distance, as if there was a time factor beating on the surface.
The hag led the baby boy through the cave and disappeared in front of Chu Huai.
Chu Huai no longer hesitated, even if there was a nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine out of ten thousand chance that everything in front of him was false, he would have to suffer for that one out of ten thousand.
This is Jin Tianyi’s lost memory, it’s his beginning, it’s where he settled down, and it’s why he… loves him.
The black hole was gradually receding, and while Chu Huai was running desperately, he once again hated his lack of limbs. Fortunately, at the last moment when the black hole disappeared, he caught up, and his thin figure disappeared in it.
There was a whirlwind.
When I opened my eyes again, I was already in a poetic and picturesque place.
The ghost woman led her grandson and stood outside the courtyard of a family. In the courtyard, a boy about the same age as Jin Tianyi was lying on the ground catching grasshoppers. Human voices and the tangy smell of rice came from the kitchen.
On the road, countless pedestrians passed directly through the bodies of the hag and Jin Tianyi.
Jin Tianyi looked very disturbed, he twisted his small body, but he couldn’t get rid of the hag’s cracked and rough hands no matter what.
His eyes were red with anxiety, and big teardrops were lingering in his eyes. While his grandma was not looking at him, he tried his best to wink at the boy in the yard and shouted, even though he knew it was futile to do so.
The boy couldn’t see him at all.
The hag controlled the grasshopper, and the grasshopper jumped out of the yard. The boy hesitated for a moment, glanced in the direction of the kitchen, then tiptoedly opened the gate of the yard, and ran out to catch the grasshopper.
Jin Tianyi’s palm-sized face was full of despair.
Chu Huai seemed to realize something, for a moment he forgot to breathe, and felt a chill down his back.
The hag’s expression was complicated, with three parts madness, four parts sadness and three parts remorse, she pierced the boy’s chest with her hand without any hesitation, just like she took out Jin Tianyi’s heart back then, she took out the boy’s still beating heart. Bloody heart.
The boy’s joy and joy condensed on his face, and he fell head-on, followed by the terrified screams of pedestrians on the street, and the scatter of birds and beasts, and the screaming and crying of the boy’s family when they realized what had happened.
No one could see the hag and Jin Tianyi.
The hag held her heart, squatted down with trembling hands, her expression was pious, and her cloudy eyes were full of tears from the vicissitudes of life.
It was hard for Chu Huai to imagine that such a young child would have such sadness on his face, but he did see it in Jin Tianyi’s eyes.
The hag wants her grandson to live.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the sunlight was shining on the bodies of the hag and Jin Tianyi, as well as the body of the boy who had not completely cooled down in the pool of blood.
Ghosts are clearly afraid of light.
The hag’s body was somewhat illusory, and the position of her feet was almost transparent for a few moments.
She is very much like the mermaid who made a deal with a witch in a fairy tale. The world makes trouble with people, and she can only exchange her conscience for the chance to survive and walk in the sun, and in exchange for Jin Tianyi’s short life as a ghost.
She wanted to find…a suitable heart for Jin Tianyi before she died and Jin Tianyi’s body disappeared.
Jin Tianyi was conscious, but he couldn’t escape, he had no ability to struggle, he was just an empty skeleton without a heart.
Chu Huai’s heart began to throb, and the emptiness and sadness in Jin Tianyi’s eyes burned him hard.
Jin Tianyi didn’t even have the ability to reject that heart.
Chu Huai put himself in his shoes and suddenly realized that it was a will to die.
Jin Tianyi clearly hoped that he would die just like that, and grandma would stop harming innocent children, but he knew it was useless, grandma had her obsession, was burning her life, and treated him in the way she thought was right.
A dead person does not even have the ability to commit suicide.
He could only watch soberly. When grandma presented the heart, her expression became more obsessed and crazy, and her body became more and more illusory, as if it would disappear when the wind blows.
It’s a dead end.
Chu Huai followed behind the ghost woman and Jin Tianyi, shuttled into black holes one after another, watched the ghost woman kill one child after another, and fresh hearts entered and exited Jin Tianyi’s chest one after another, warm and rhythmic with life, In Jin Tianyi’s gorgeous and deep eyes, there was no brilliance and vitality anymore.
At the last moment before she died, the witch finally found a suitable heart for him. Seeing the perfect fusion of that heart and Jin Tianyi, she closed her eyes contentedly, and went to atone for her sins and also to be freed.
Jin Tianyi, who was alive, could no longer escape.
In the dilapidated temple overgrown with weeds, gods and Buddhas sit on the stage. The golden body has been stripped off by the poor, and it has been abandoned like a scrap.
The sick beggars leaned on the pile of straw in the ruined temple, whining in their mouths, life is so humble, life is so unbearable.
Jin Tianyi, who was seven or eight years old, hid in a corner with his arms around his knees, curled up into a small ball, looking at those skinny and filthy cheeks, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chu Huai walked towards him involuntarily, knowing that it was a dream, but his eyes turned red.
The night wind blew through, freezing cold to the bone.
Twenty-five-year-old Chu Huai stood in front of seven-eight-year-old Jin Tianyi, staring at that handsome boy who was too precocious.
The boy with his head down suddenly raised his eyes and saw the gentle and elegant Chu Huai. He smiled awkwardly, then restrained his smile, and said softly, “I’m not worthy.”
Not worthy of laughing, not worthy of being happy.
When Chu Huai heard those three words, he felt like a knife was piercing his heart, like a stick in his throat.
But the boy always longed for hope and warmth. He seemed afraid that the heinous crimes behind him would be seen by the handsome young man in front of him, so he shrank. Then he moved forward cautiously, his eyes were humble, and his voice was broken: “Brother, can you hug me?”
“I am cold.”
No one wanted him, no one loved him, no one would forgive him.
But he must live.
Otherwise, everything grandma did would be meaningless.
With trembling hands, Chu Huai hugged him without hesitation, as if he was a treasure in the world.
Little Jin Tianyi blinked and looked at the gentle face that was close at hand, feeling that the withered temple was also lit up.
“Brother, you are so pretty.”
But Chu Huai was thinking, if all of this was true, Jin Tianyi at that time probably didn’t even have this only warmth, and walked alone in the dark night, wanting to escape from the sea of suffering in the world and find the other shore of bliss.
Hate not to meet.
An unadulterated and ambiguous kiss fell on the boy’s smooth forehead, and panic and dreams flashed in the boy’s dark and transparent eyes.
When Chu Huai put him down, he was still in a daze.
Chu Huai squatted down and smiled at him, straightened his clothes for him: “I will wait for you in twenty years.”
The boy raised his eyes suddenly, with some kind of hope for life, smiled awkwardly, stretched out his little finger to Chu Huai, and said firmly, “Pull the hook.”
All he has left is the innocence of a child.
…
Jin Tianyi disappeared.
Chu Huai vaguely understood something.
This is obviously not a test for him, or this is not the second level at all.
He didn’t know what was going on, but maybe, the androgynous guy, wanted to tell him a story.
He admitted that his only regret when he left the first level of the City of Memory was that he didn’t buy Jin Tianyi’s memory.
Chu Huai has become complete, and he also wants the complete Jin Tianyi.
So, that statue seems to be… fulfilling its own wish.
Chu Huai didn’t know why the mother body of the Memory Temple did this.
Could it be related to Jin Tianyi’s No. 1 stat on the leaderboard?
…
There was another whirlwind, Chu Huai was used to it, he knew that the dream was not over, he was eager to know what happened after that.
The dizziness disappeared, and this time Chu Huai stood outside a Taoist temple.
Once born and secondly acquainted, Chu Huai immediately looked for Jin Tianyi in the Taoist temple.
Finally, he heard a familiar and pleasant voice in the west wing. Jin Tianyi seemed to be talking to someone, Chu Huai didn’t want to disturb him, so he quietly poked a hole in the thin window with his fingers, and looked inside.
Green smoke billowed in the room, Chu Huai could clearly see the old Taoist priest opposite Jin Tianyi, but he could only see the bony hand on Jin Tianyi’s side, and the lifelike Tianji on the exposed arm.
Jin Tianyi grew up and was selected by Tianji.
So Jin Tianyi said that he was a resident at first, but not anymore.
So he once walked through the Temple of Memory, and there is a record left by him on the leaderboard that cannot be surpassed by future generations.
“Tianji?” Jin Tianyi’s voice was a little puzzled.
“Yes,” the old Taoist sighed and nodded, “I’m afraid you are riddled with sins, that’s why you did this.”
This conversation is somewhat familiar. When Chu Huai invited Lao Yue, Lao Yue also took a lot of effort to explain the origin of Tianji to him.
Jin Tianyi remained silent.
Old Taoist: “The poor Taoist has never seen such a kind-hearted person as the benefactor, but he didn’t realize it…It’s really a disaster.”
Jin Tianyi stood up and seemed to smile: “I can’t ask for it.”
Tormented in purgatory as atonement.
He couldn’t ask for more.
It is not surprising that he was chosen by the world of terror because he was responsible for all the deaths.
The ninth order of course.
