Chapter 26 Negative Value

Chapter 26 Negative Value

Huai Shi opened her eyes and saw the afternoon light outside the window.

Dust detached from the ceiling and danced chaotically in the dim light. The air was filled with a familiar musty smell, and I heard the sound of dripping water from next door.

This is his home.

After a dream, he was lying on the broken sofa in the hall.

"I... still alive? How long have I been asleep?"

He got up in a daze, touched his chest, and saw that the wound was well bandaged, and there was a faint throbbing pain, but his movements were unhindered.

In particular, he discovered that the Book of Destiny had actually been transformed from the entity into his own will, and he could flip it by himself with a single thought.

Soon, he heard a voice beside him.

"About ten hours or so, it seems that you are recovering well."

The girl sitting by the window looked up at him, her calm face made Huai Shi uneasy.

"What the hell happened last night? By the way, Lao Liu, Lao Liu..."

"Liu Dongli? Ah, he is alive. The operation should be over now, and he is in the intensive care unit... If he recovers well, he may have a chance to wake up in the future. But it's not your fault, it's better to say, It’s a blessing to be able to survive after being targeted by Green Sun.”

Ai Qing said calmly: "Although many things happened last night, and the mastermind behind the scenes escaped... But for you, it's over."

"it's over?"

"Yes, it's over." Ai Qing nodded, "No matter what, the next thing has nothing to do with you, and no one will stare at you again in the future."

She stared at Huai Shi and told him solemnly:

"Congratulations, you can return to your original peaceful life."

If Ai Qing had told him this yesterday, he would have been overjoyed and dancing, but now, hearing the news, he couldn't be happy at all.

Not even any happy response.

Ai Qing didn't say anything else, she closed the book and was about to leave, but after she refused Huai Shi's offer, she stood up on her crutches to say goodbye.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Huai Shi's dazed look, she tilted her head: "Is there anything else you want to ask? If you are worried that Liu Dongli's car parked here will be driven away in two days, don't worry, I will give you the answer before I come here." Call up."

Huai Shi shook her head and looked at her: "I've been thinking about where I saw you these days."

"..."

Ai Qing was silent for a long time, then shook her head calmly: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember it, it's not something important anyway, just forget it."

She walked out the door, took one last look at Huai Shi, and nodded goodbye.

"Then, I'm going to go to Jinling immediately to report on my work. I wish you a smooth sailing in your future life. I hope we can never see each other again."

She said, "Farewell, Huai Shi."

The door is closed.

In the silence, Huai Shi was silent, watching Ai Qing walk into the car with the driver's support, the door closed, she walked slowly away, and finally disappeared to the end of the road.

Throughout the afternoon, Huai Shi sat on the steps of the garden, the old place that belonged to him, looking at the bare nursery, in a daze.

"It's sad, isn't it?"

The crow didn't know when it appeared again, stood on his shoulder, and patted his head: "Don't be sad, come on, smoke a cigarette and relax?

If it's really impossible, buy a bottle of wine and drink a few sips, sleep on your head, and everything will be over. "

"Is it over?"

Huai Shi looked at her.

"Yes, it's over." Crow asked casually: "Isn't it all over, Huai Shi? As you wished, you have got rid of those messy things and returned to the peaceful life you have been thinking about."

Huai Shi did not answer.

finished?

Maybe, but the relief he expected did not come.

There was no relief, and even a trace of anger coming from nowhere... It was obvious that nothing was over.

He suddenly remembered Lao Yang's face.

At the last moment, when that bastard looked at him, he was actually smiling. Once he was about to die, he seemed to be relieved.

Obviously there is nothing to be relieved, he just sold his own life for another's life, would the woman he saved be happy?

What is he so proud of?

And Liu Dongli, who is now in the intensive care unit.

Huai Shi used to think that they were her friends, but now, one of them was shot from behind by herself, and the other was shot behind her.

He lost two friends.

But the instigator of all this has already slipped away...

"How could it end so suddenly?"

He raised his hand to cover his face, and couldn't hold back the anger and exhaustion in his heart, "Damn..."

The crow looked at him pityingly.

For the first time in such a long time, she saw Huai Shi look so angry.

In addition, it seemed that no matter what happened, he would just slump on the ground, letting the chaotic wheel of fate run over him, like an old salty fish.

Natural good temper.

He is strong by him, and I am happy anyway.

But she always felt that Huai Shi lacked something, was covering up something, or... trying to hide something.

Only now did she vaguely understand that perhaps this empty garden is the place where he relaxes the most. Only here can he face himself calmly.

Even though he resisted this place in his heart——

"I said, Huai Shi." She asked earnestly, "Is there any significance to you here?"

"I guess so……"

Huai Shi looked down at the small garden under the steps, and was silent for a long time.

"If you don't want to say it, just pretend I didn't ask." The crow shook his head: "After all, prying into privacy is not a very dignified thing."

"No, there's no need to hide anything anyway, I'm just thinking about how to tell you."

Huai Shi rubbed her face, pondered for a long time, thinking seriously.

"When I was young, I once had a high fever," he said.

"At that time my parents were very angry because they were playing abroad and I didn't take care of myself, so they didn't worry about it, and then they sent me money to go to the hospital by myself.

But I was too sleepy and uncomfortable at the time, so I didn't go and fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. "

Huai Shi said, "I remember that I had many strange dreams at that time. I dreamed that I seemed to grow wings and fly in the sky. I dreamed that this old house could talk and wipe my sweat and pour water. Someone came in from the backyard with his face covered and a knife in his hand... I hid behind the door and didn't dare to speak.

I was terrified that if I was found by that man, I might die. "

"I don't want to die."

He stared at the raised ground and murmured softly, "That's why I killed him."

"..."

The crow was stunned, and looked back at Huai Shi's face, but couldn't find any sign of joking, only a disturbing calm.

"That's right."

Huai Shi repeated it calmly, "I killed him."

Hide behind the door, use an axe, and when that person comes in, aim at the back of the head and chop down.

After only one use, the man fell down.

Then again, and again, until there was no strength left.

After discovering that the person couldn't move, he was at a loss at first, then uneasy and flustered, and finally what emerged was the courage that made him even fear.

In the heat of stupor, he dragged the body into the garden, dug the ground, and buried it quietly, taking the ax with him.

I closed the soil, washed my hands, and went back to bed.

It's as if nothing happened.

Anyway, the Stone Marrow Hall is so remote, no one will come, anyway, the parents are so lazy, and they don't know how to take care of the garden, anyway, no one will find out, and I killed myself.

In this way, I fell asleep in fear and had many strange dreams, but I couldn't remember those dreams. Even with some memories from the past, after waking up, the high fever subsided inconceivably.

But from that moment on, Huai Shi's childhood ended.

Since then, day after day, year after year.

"If you think about it carefully, I'm really lucky, right?"

Huai Shi said softly, "At the beginning, I was very afraid that someone would catch me and someone would find the things I buried in the garden, but until now no one seems to have found it...

If he hadn't concealed it back then, he wouldn't need to be so tired now, no, if he had been killed back then, he wouldn't be living so much that he couldn't stand it like he is now. "

"...Actually, you don't need to torture yourself."

The crow couldn't help sighing: "Have you ever thought about such a possibility? Perhaps, this is just one of the nightmares you have when you have a high fever."

"Yeah, maybe?"

Huai Shi nodded calmly, "I have bought shovels many times, but lost them many times.

Every time I stand here, I hesitate, afraid of what is hidden under here. I'm not actually afraid of digging up the body, but I'm afraid of the truth. "

He said, "If I dig this up, I won't be able to lie to myself anymore—how will I go back to my peaceful life then?"

He paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed softly: "I thought I would live my life deceiving myself and others."

"—Now it seems that there is no need to be afraid of anything."

With that said, Huai Shi picked up the rusty shovel in the corner, returned to the center of the garden, looked for the original mark, and stood still.

Then, the first handful of soil was scooped up.

The crow was stunned.

Then came the second shovel, and the third shovel.

Huai Shi's movements were fast, even if the wound under the bandage burst and blood oozes, she didn't hesitate any longer.

Chiseling away the weeds that get in the way, shoveling away the roots in the ground, digging out the dirt and mud that buried the nightmare.

Sweat profusely.

"You know, right? My family..."

Huai Shi turned her back to the crow, and talking to her seemed to be talking to herself: "Actually, I know very well that my parents have never liked me since I was born, and after my grandfather passed away, they never cared about it—— They don't need me at all.

When they were there, I was like a liability in the way, and when they were gone, I was a homeless stray dog. Just tearing down the east wall to mend the west wall, sewing and mending for so many years.

Up to now, if I can't make more money, not only the tuition fee, but also my life will be hard to live... I myself feel that this kind of life has no value at all.

In fact, even I myself often wonder, why is life so tiring?

Anyway, it's always so miserable, no matter how hard you struggle, it's useless, and sometimes you have to be ridiculed and looked down upon. Wouldn't it be easier to give up once in a while?

But no matter how bereavement, no matter how hard it is, I think I can make it through. It doesn't matter if I have to sell my dignity occasionally, I won't be angry.

Because I know that as long as I keep going, everything will be fine.

Even if the change is always insignificant.

There are people like Lao Yang who are willing to specifically introduce jobs to me, occasionally find excuses to give me more money, and Lao Liu is willing to treat me to dinner and clean up the troubles I caused in the club, even if I get fired behind my back. A gun, even when I am in danger, I want to escape...

Doesn't this just show that my life is worthwhile? "

Huai Shi asked softly, but no one responded to his words. Sweat dripped from his face and fell into the dug-up dirt pit.

"But now—"

He lowered his eyes, raised the pickaxe again, shoveled it down, and tried his best.

It was as if the hideous face in memory was about to be smashed into pieces.

"My value has been denied!"

collapse!

The shovel seemed to hit something, and a huge gap broke out, but there was nothing in the pit, no corpses, no bones, nothing.

Only the scattered glow of the setting sun vaguely reflected a cruel silhouette.

Like an axe.

Huai Shi bent down, stretched out her hand, and grasped its handle tightly.

He said:

"—I'm going to kill him."

Under the setting sun, the crow stared in astonishment at the outline in Huai Shi's hand—an invisible iron cast purely from source quality. Burning anger and cold killing intent mixed together, reflecting a cruel light.

That is the killing intent and death that has been sleeping here for seven years has been given substance, and it is a steel armor created by nightmares and fears.

As if holding the fire tightly, at that moment, Huai Shi's right hand was ignited by the invisible force, and a white flame rose up.

From the silence reveals the true appearance.

"Is that so, is that so..."

She murmured softly, suddenly realized, and finally understood what happened to Huai Shi at this moment.

Breaking through the barrier between spirit and matter, realizing the transformation between iron and source matter...

After seven years, Huai Shi finally passed the long stress period. In the burning of the source quality, her nature was sublimated, and she ushered in her own soul.

That is the unique real name of the soul bestowed by the Silver Sea at the end.
