Absurd Deduction Game Chapter 847

 Chapter 847 The apple of your eye

More than forty minutes later, Mingzhu's door was pushed open.

Such an obvious noise would not escape Fang Xiao's ears. He raised his head slightly, put down the small wooden box in his hand, and looked out of the tightly closed window.

His brother no longer wore the windbreaker, but folded it in half and put it on his arm. The shirt he wore was much more casual than before, and the wrinkles and pull marks that could not be erased could be seen on the shirt.

Some of his messy black hair seemed to be wet with sweat. It didn't feel as loose as before. There was a look of contentment on his face. He looked much lazier than before when he walked. Whether it was because of fatigue or not, he seemed The other party's house is no longer on guard.

The younger brother raised his head and met Fang Xiao's eyes through the window.

The pair of gold-rimmed glasses were properly placed on the bridge of his nose, but this time they failed to make him look more elegant. On the contrary, they conflicted with his temperament, making people feel dangerous for no reason.

Fang Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.

 This kind of Fang Xing seems to be more like him. Others will know that they are brothers at a glance.

"Brother." Yu Xing quickened his pace and walked towards Fang Xiao. Fang Xiao opened the door and welcomed him in. She didn't have any doubts about his condition, but took the windbreaker and hung it on the coat rack, and asked with a smile -

"how do you feel?"

Yu Xing coughed lightly, as if he remembered how he said he didn't need it before, and felt a little embarrassed by being seen through: "It's not bad."

 “Sister-in-law, she is... very charming.”

"Since it's not bad, why don't you stay in there for a while? I thought you wouldn't think of me in less than two hours." Fang Xiao teased him.

Yu Xing rubbed his sore temples and licked his lips: "What I did was a bit torturous. My sister-in-law must have been tired last night, right? I also... can't bear to let her be tormented for too long. And I just came back. , I can't scare my sister-in-law, just stop here.”

“…Scared?” Fang Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then seemed to be interested, “Is it possible that my younger brother has more tricks than me, and did he learn them in the outside world? It's really interesting.”

"...Brother, it's not appropriate for us to talk about this kind of thing." Yu Xing blushed, as if no matter what he looked like in front of women, he still wasn't used to talking about this kind of topic directly when facing his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time. .

His persona as a painter in this world is not a person with obvious abnormality. Presumably, Fang Xiao could also detect this in previous correspondence with him.

 To be too extroverted will cross the line and arouse suspicion.

Fang Xiao clearly stopped talking and only asked one more question: "Is Mingzhu okay?"

“My sister-in-law is fine, she's just a little tired and fell asleep in the room. Brother, don't worry, I'm very measured. At most, I'll only leave a few marks on my sister-in-law's skin, but it won't actually hurt her.”

Yu Xing breathed a long sigh of relief, moved his wrists, then picked up his collar and fanned himself: "I feel uncomfortable because I'm sweating. I want to take a shower."

"Okay, I expected that you still love cleanliness so much. I have prepared bath water for you in another room. It's on the right side. You can just go directly." Fang Xiao paused, "By the way, you can take it with you." Where's the cylinder you're carrying?”

 He is talking about the painting tube.

Because he came back as a tourist, Yu Xing was carrying his travel bag when he came to Fang Mansion, and the painting tube was almost always around his waist. The travel bag was already there when he was pulled into this room by Fang Xiao for the first time. Take it off and put it on the locker.

As for the painting tube, because it wasn't too much of a nuisance, Fang Xiao didn't care about him before and let him carry it, but now it's gone.

"Ah, I forgot." Yu Xing covered his forehead and sighed, "It's still in my sister-in-law's room. I'll go get it after I take a shower..."

 After muttering to himself, he remembered that he had not asked Fang Xiao for his opinion: "Brother, can I usually go in and out of my sister-in-law's room by myself?"

 Normally.

Fang Xiao had no resistance to words that meant staying. He simply hoped that his brother could express more meaning in this regard, so he did not hesitate: "Of course, I have shared the pearl with you, so now She's yours too."

“Go and take a shower. Mom came here to urge you just now. After you take a shower, go to her place and have a chat.”

"..." When it came to his mother, Yu Xing was obviously not convinced as quickly as he was in front of Fang Xiao, because when he was a child, Fang Xiao was at least good for him and had been fending off those invisible things for him, but this so-called Mom, she only hurt him.

 The gentleness on his face faded, and he only whispered: "I understand."

Fang Xiao looked at his back as he walked to take a shower, his dark pupils dark.

It's a pity that their dear mother Xu Wan cannot die now. She is much more useful alive than killing her to vent her anger.

But sooner or later...sooner or later there will be only the two brothers and Mingzhu left here, oh, maybe there will be more valuable outsiders left by him. But all those who have hurt them will disappear forever from his world.

 Fang Xiao prepared a wooden basin for bathing, with hot water already in it.

In this cold weather, soaking in hot water to relieve fatigue after strenuous exercise is simply a very comfortable thing.

Yu Xing relaxed his expression after entering this room that was probably used for bathing, and used the power of a vague curse to explore the room.

 Very good, at least there is nothing strange here.

　　A new set of clothes had been placed beside the steaming wooden barrel. Yu Xing simply lay down in it and soaked for a while. At this time, the system must be shielded.

After sitting down, the water reached the top of his chest. He leaned his head back and rested it on the edge of the barrel, looking at the wooden beams on the ceiling of the room with empty eyes.

The townspeople in the buildings in the town are living their lives following the time of this world. Their homes have kitchens and bathrooms, and they have showers or bathtubs when they want to take a bath. In contrast, Fang Xiao, the controller, is because he stays in Fang Xiao. Mansion, life is more inconvenient than everyone else.

However, everything in the town was actually created by Fang Xiao. When he created these, wouldn't he feel a little unhappy that he was limited to the past living standard?

In the forty minutes he spent in Mingzhu's room, he did not waste time, but let Mingzhu tell her everything he had experienced from her perspective.

　From the timeline, Mingzhu should be a veritable "modern person", living in the same era as the townspeople, because she appeared after the world had taken shape, just like Yu Xing -

 They are all people who are accustomed to modern life.

But as soon as Yu Xing thought of the image in the center, he could feel the contradiction in it.

In the afterimage he saw in the private room, Mingzhu was still a pretty little girl. Although she was not in a good mood when she was sitting in the private room, her fashionable hair and smart and stylish little dress could still make her stand out. It explains her true character to a certain extent.

 But the style of the small dress is like that in the big cities during the Republic of China, which is hundreds of years different from modern times.

When Mingzhu's family members talked about Fang Deming's beating and killing of the waiter in Buwangju, it didn't sound like the thinking of a modern society governed by the rule of law, which was very strange.

Although Yu Xing has roughly guessed what the complete world view looks like, this small piece of the puzzle cannot be put together.

 Until Mingzhu takes the initiative to inform.

She said that her family was in the transportation business, mainly developing river transport routes. The family was very wealthy, but not a famous family. It was a purely commercial family that was rich but not rich enough.

So she has always been a favored girl since she was a child, enjoying a very high level of material life, but she does not have the ambitions of the young masters and ladies in the higher-level wealthy circles.

 To put it simply, it may be a bit silly and sweet.

 The name Mingzhu was given by her father. It is a bit cheesy, but the meaning is quite straightforward - she is the apple of her parents' eye.

 Because of this name, Yu Xing really didn't know which era she was from at first.

The summer vacation after Mingzhu graduated from high school, because she was really bored, she heard that her uncle was going to discuss transportation business with a tourist town that she had not cooperated with before, so she had to go with her.

Their family business is small and has lasted for three generations. Now Mingzhu's father is the leader of the business, while people from his uncle's lineage are assisting.

 That said, this is just a superficial position difference. They always work together when doing business, and the relationship between the family is very harmonious.

Mingzhu asked her uncle to take her out, and her father was reassured, so she took a boat to Nanshui Town with her uncle and several cousins ​​who were already involved in business.

At this time, the port of Nanshui Town was normal, but a little bleak. The ships coming and going were far from reaching the throughput that the port itself could accommodate, and there were even fewer people walking around the port.

The group of them got off the boat, and the person who wanted to discuss business with them was already waiting. Mingzhu didn't want to go to the restaurant with them to talk business and eat at the same time, so she proposed to go shopping by herself.

In this era, communication via mobile phones is very convenient, and the old rule of not allowing girls to go out alone is no longer the norm.

Mingzhu just walked out of the port and came to the town.

 The town is much more lively.

This town may not have developed very well. Many of the buildings are very old and dark in color. At first glance, they look like old houses that have been built for a long time.

But fortunately, the people here are very welcoming, with a sense of simplicity that Mingzhu has never seen in big cities. She bought things while shopping. After asking for directions, she headed in the direction of the most famous Baibao Street in Nanshui Town. Go.

Even though she is stupid and careless, she has learned a lot of rules from childhood. In her opinion, this kind of run-down town has no qualifications to be called a tourist town. It's not that she looks down on anything, but it's obvious that this place has It does not meet the rigid standards, and it can only be said that it is the credit of marketing to achieve such a reputation by relying on just one street.

The department responsible for managing this aspect should probably turn a blind eye. After all, Nanshui Town wants to develop and cannot find any other way out.

She has known this for a long time, so she did not come to Nanshui Town for tourism. She simply regarded this trip as a way to relax after the college entrance examination.

There were many tourists like her on the street who seemed to be from other places. The strange thing was that all of them seemed to be in high spirits and did not express any dissatisfaction with this ordinary scene.

Mingzhu didn't think much and paid someone to ride a tricycle to take her to Baibao Street.

There are no taxis in the town. Those human-powered three-wheelers have replaced taxis in the city and become vehicles specially used for transportation.

When Mingzhu sat on the tricycle, she curiously chatted with the driver, because she had seen this kind of tricycle when she was a child, but it disappeared unknowingly after she was ten years old. The world is developing too fast, and human-powered tricycles are from the past. The rickshaw pullers evolved, replacing the rickshaw pullers running on their legs with the rickshaw pullers riding and driving people. However, when taxis began to become popular, these slow-paced vehicles were quickly replaced without any suspense.

Perhaps only this kind of town can retain some traces of the past.

On the tricycle, Mingzhu listened to a forty-year-old driver telling her stories about the past of Nanshui Town. He told her that there was a general who had guarded Nanshui Town for generations. It was this general who was there during the most turbulent period in modern times. Mansion, Nanshui Town was not disturbed by bandits.

Mingzhu asked curiously: "What's that general's last name? Is his mansion still there?"

The coachman only regretfully told her that the general had no name and his mansion was gone long ago because people had failed him. The general was disheartened and left his homeland. The house was soon abandoned. When the new era began to develop, It was demolished by short-sighted people who do not have long-sightedness.

“That's a pity.” Mingzhu agreed, but she was muttering in her heart. If there was such a general's mansion that had been guarding the town for so many years, how could it not even retain its surname once it left?

 Perhaps it was also made up as a tourist gimmick.

The tricycle is not fast, it is slow. The advantage is that you don't have to be as tired as walking. It took Mingzhu a whole morning to get from the port in the east of the town to where Baibao Street is. After getting off the car, I felt my buttocks were sore.

She looked up at the intersection of Baibao Street and vaguely saw the eaves of the ancient buildings inside. She thought that she could finally see something interesting and there was no need to buy a ticket here, so she walked in without any precautions.

Mingzhu did not expect at the time that from the moment she stepped into Baibao Street, it would be the beginning of her lifelong nightmare. Everything she owned would be taken away from her, and her relatives who cared about her would also die because of her.

Baibao Street is indeed a well-preserved ancient street, and it is very long. It not only has the main street, but also has many branch roads extending out. You can see many different surprises when you go around it.

There are also the most tourists here. Just like other scenic spots that Mingzhu has visited, tourists with different accents pass each other on the street, and they may never be lucky enough to see each other again in their lifetime. This is the unique charm of travelers in a foreign land.

She wandered around and came to an unnoticed alley, because the alley was a bit hidden, and unlike other places, even a narrow fork in the road was exquisitely decorated on the wall. This alley was too dark. Well, I'm afraid no one will pay special attention to it.

Mingzhu was originally one of the passers-by who passed by the alley.

However, when she passed the entrance of the alley, a person walked out of it.

She then discovered that there was a store with a plaque hidden in the alley. Before she could take a closer look at what it was selling, her attention was drawn to the young man who was getting closer and closer to her.

In the dark and deep alleyway, the tall young man in a suit looked like a mysterious figure coming out of the netherworld. His face was as handsome as Mingzhu had ever seen before, so I forgive her for the half-hearted image that appeared in her mind. It's an adjective. Almost all romantic and fantasy novels on the market for girls her age are written like this.

Mingzhu exclaimed in her heart, but she didn't have anything else to think about. She was a bit slow in terms of emotions, and she didn't have the desire to fall in love yet. At this time, she just regarded this young man as an unexpected surprise during the journey. .

 But she had no idea, but the young man stopped when he came closer and saw her, staring straight at her, as if he saw some incredible scene.

Mingzhu was a little embarrassed and wanted to hurry up and leave first, but the young man caught up with her, used his long legs to get past her, turned around and blocked her path: "Miss, please wait a moment."

It was then that Mingzhu discovered that the young man's figure under the suit was stronger than it seemed at first glance, and he was also very tall, which was quite different from hers. However, there was no look on his face that made her uncomfortable. Instead, he had the aura of a business veteran that she was familiar with, just like the aura that her father, her uncle, and others exuded at the negotiating table.

 This is a businessman in a suit and tie.

This thought made Mingzhu's vigilance disappear a lot, and she was even still thinking about it -

This little brother looks so young, maybe he is a new junior in a certain company? That's why he was sent to do something in such a remote alley. How pitiful.

The young man in front of her asked her with a smile: "Miss, are you a tourist who just entered the town today?"

"How did you know I just arrived today?" Mingzhu was surprised. The identity of the tourist was easy to identify, but how could the time be determined?

 The young man smiled even deeper: "If you had come before, I wouldn't have discovered you until today."

Mingzhu couldn't understand what he said, but since the young man wanted to chat with her, she couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of store is in this alley? Is it fun?"

"Huh?" The young man tilted his head and looked around, then said with a smile, "It's not a shop inside, it's a hotel. The hotel owner is old and doesn't want to go out. I'm fairly familiar with him, so I occasionally give him some books to read. , so that he won't be so bored.”

"Oh..." Mingzhu vaguely felt that it was a bit strange for the young man to say so much to a stranger like her, so she came back to her senses and asked him, "By the way, what did you want to say when you stopped me?"

The young man stared at him, curled his lips, and said an old-school courtesy in a very gentlemanly manner: "I'm calling Miss, I want to ask her name. I am Fang Xiao, from the Fang family in Nanshui Town. I want to get to know Miss, because I seem to have fallen in love with the lady at first sight.”

love at first sight? How could someone be so serious and confess their love so casually?

Mingzhu probably thought it was ridiculous at the time, or maybe she felt it was too abrupt and was frightened. She waved her hands in a panic, said "Don't be joking", then turned around and ran away.

 What happened in a short period of time later? When Mingzhu relayed the story to Yu Xing, she said that she only felt in a daze and had no memory at all.

When she woke up again, she was sitting on the second floor of a teahouse, wearing a small Western uniform and a small foreign hat on her head.

 Downstairs, separated by a window, is the street scene of the main street of Baibao Street. Most of the women are wearing cheongsams, and most of the men are wearing suits. Only the clothes worn by street vendors are relatively cheap, and the class is clearly distinguished.

Sitting opposite her was a pen pal she had known for a long time. He was also in a neat suit and his handsome face made it almost impossible to believe that this was a real person.

 The two got acquainted through a debate over their differing comments published in the same newspaper, and have always been in contact through letters.

The more we communicated in letters, the more Mingzhu felt that this pen pal's knowledge and conversation were no less than hers. He was clear-headed and had his own unique insights into everything. He was a very profound person.

She had long been curious and in love with this pen pal, but she would not fall for it until she met a real person. Now that she had some free time, she made an appointment with her pen pal to meet in Nanshui Town, which is the pen pal's hometown and also Where the pen pal is working now.

 She never expected that the man who had attracted her heart just by talking would be so good in appearance.

 They had just talked face to face for a while, because they usually called each other by pseudonyms, so they didn't remember to exchange names until now. Mingzhu blinked: "So...your real name is, Fang Xiao?"    ...

That's right, on the first day Mingzhu came to Nanshui Town, she entered Baibao Street and met a young man named Fang Xiao.

Because she rejected the other person's confession of love at first sight, Mingzhu forgot who she really was before she left the confines of Baibao Street. Instead, she was framed in a new identity that the other person had a crush on.

The "people" in the entire street have changed. They are no longer tourists traveling from various places, but passers-by who belong to the same era as Baibao Street and serve as a background for Mingzhu and Fang Xiao's love affair. .

Mingzhu was confined to Baibao Street, but she didn't realize it.

In the next few days, she and Fang Xiao, one a professional writer who lived freely, and the other the youngest person in charge with great power at the port, happily fell in love, and the pearl became more and more popular. Lai Yue felt that Fang Xiao was the most perfect man in the world.

When the time came, she was invited to the Fang family as a guest. Although Fang Xiao's father had a stern face and was a bit fierce, and he was a feudal patriarch with old-fashioned ideas, which was not in line with her thinking as a woman in the new era, but fortunately he was Fang Xiao's father. Choose without too much interference.

Mingzhu, who had been living in the hotel, moved to Fang's house. The two fell in love so deeply that they naturally slept together. Fang Xiao was very restrained at the beginning, but in the second half, he vaguely revealed some forced style. Mingzhu saw that I was used to his gentle look, but when I first came into contact with his other side, not only was I not angry, but I found him **** when he lost control.

 Actually, this little bit of fun didn't hurt her at all, and Mingzhu quite liked it.

 Soon, they want to get married.

Mingzhu wrote a letter to inform her family. Although the family respected her freedom, they were still not confident about the marriage and decided to send some people to investigate for Mingzhu.

Mingzhu didn't know it at that time. She thought she had spent more than half a year with Fang Xiao, but in the eyes of her uncle and others, it was only more than half a month.

—Their beloved daughter, she ran away on the first day she came to Nanshui Town. She couldn't get through on the phone. She was missing for half a month.

In the past half month, Mingzhu's uncle and cousins ​​were so anxious that they couldn't continue business. They searched for her in the town and surrounding areas every day, and also reported to the police station in the town.

It's a pity that this town is fake from beginning to end, and there are very few real foreign tourists.

Reporting the crime will fall into disarray, or even—

 Can't even make a call.

The ships in the port were completely silent, and even the passengers coming and going on the first day were not willing to pretend anymore. The entire port was like an unmanned airport, and the inability to contact the outside world meant that they were unable to book another ship. They were Being trapped in Nanshui Town, at least the waterway is a dead end.

It seemed that there were only two choices before them, either to stay in Nanshui Town, or to leave the roads around the town and try to see if they could go to other towns.

At this time, her family members have realized that something is wrong. Once they detect a hole, more flaws will follow.

　　The smiles that remained unchanged every day among the townspeople changed from warm and simple to strange in their eyes. From the first day, they were announced to be closed for business, and Baibao Street, which did not accept any tourists, was also cast in mystery.

 Originally, they believed the town police who said they had searched Baibao Street but found no one. Now, this conclusion has no credibility at all.

The uncle is a person who has seen the world. He comforts his young cousins ​​and prevents them from wanting to run directly from here to surrounding towns. Firstly, they don't know if they will encounter more terrible things on the road. Secondly, The Pearl must still be in the town. If you want to leave, you must find the Pearl and go together.

“I have an old classmate with whom I have a good relationship. He has done disgraceful things, but he has encountered many strange things, and he told me some of them.”

The uncle smoked a cigarette and blew out the smoke ring with some vicissitudes: "He told me that the things in the story all exist. He has to encounter one or two every time he goes down. It is not unusual. Encountering these things , the most taboo is to panic, if you find the key points, you will be safe.”

 A cousin asked in shock: "Do you know any grave robbers?"

 Another cousin trembled: "No, you mean, the place we are in is actually a huge tomb?!"

 The uncle gave the latter a blow on the head.

“You big-headed ghost, has your brain been bitten by a donkey? I'm telling you, don't panic, it's not unusual to encounter this thing. Let's find some clues and maybe we can leave safely.”

The group of people lived a low-key life in Nanshui Town, sleeping in a hotel next to the port at night, looking for clues and pearls every day.

 Neither of them has been found yet, the invitation arrived first.

 This is actually a wedding invitation, the groom is Fang Xiao, and the bride is Mingzhu.

Fang Xiao simply treated them like monkeys. He knew their plans a long time ago and blocked all the ways for them to escape. He watched them secretly investigate in the town every day and found nothing, and then suddenly handed them the answer. before.

Having had enough fun, Fang Xiao did not do anything to them because they were the family members of the girl he liked. Instead, he let them into Baibao Street to reunite with Mingzhu.

 Their memories naturally became false.

"Although I don't want to talk about what happened next, but..." Mingzhu sat on the bed holding her knees, her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse. She looked at Yu Xing with tired eyes, "They all thought they were here to examine my husband for me. Yes, nothing would happen originally, but they found out that Fang Deming killed Bu Wangju's waiter.”

"The memory is false, but their concern for me will not change. Because of this incident, they began to persuade me not to marry Fang Xiao, for fear that I would be wronged or even put my life in danger if I married."

“Fang Xiao originally wanted to give me a fake but happy wedding, but she was annoyed by them, so they were…just…”

 The kindness of tyrants is just a whim, and their true appearance is to disregard human life.

Those memories of love, starting from a false identity, the starting point is false, how real is the process?

As a freelance writer, Mingzhu didn't know why her relatives suddenly left because of other things, and they didn't even attend her wedding. However, she had stayed away from the family because she respected freedom, so even if she didn't attend, she Not that necessary.

She and Fang Xiao completed their wedding with the blessings of the friends they had met in the past six months and officially became husband and wife. Mingzhu thought this was the beginning of happiness. Who would have thought that when she returned to Fang Mansion again on the night of the wedding, everything had been forgotten All the memories cleared away the fog and came to her one after another.

 The strange young man who confessed his love when we first met in the alley.

 A pen pal meeting with no antecedents, only consequences.

The haggard uncle and cousins ​​had dark eyes, but they didn't realize it. They told her they were going to Bu Forget House for a meal and then suddenly disappeared, leaving only a letter saying that they had something urgent and couldn't stay to join her. wedding, I wish her and Fang Xiao a happy marriage.

On the back of the letter were five **** finger prints.

Mingzhu collapsed when she remembered all this. Such anger and sadness made her even forget about the fear of her memory being tampered with at will. She hit Fang Xiao with a hard jade ornament as soon as he entered the door.

Fang Xiao did not dodge, the ornament hit him heavily on his forehead, and blood suddenly gushes out.

"I'm sorry." Fang Xiao stood there, looking at her fear and collapse, "...Don't do this, it will make me feel bad."

 Is there any sentence more devastating than this?

 Nausea, anger, despair, and all kinds of negative emotions filled Mingzhu's heart, and she turned around in pain and vomited.

 Actually, if nothing happened to her family.

Mingzhu may accept all this directly in a daze.

 Because Fang Xiao is really good to her and is excellent in every aspect. With her conditions and vision, it is difficult to find a man who can compare with him even if she is holding a lantern.

Although the so-called pen pal's memory is fake, Fang Xiao's conversation and preferences are true.

 Coupled with this power that she cannot understand and resist, marrying Fang Xiao just like this is not a very bad choice.

 But why, why did she kill her uncle? And those cousins... they just... cared about her and told the truth!

Mingzhu asked Fang Xiao this question resentfully. Fang Xiao's head lowered imperceptibly: "I didn't do it."

He closed the door with his backhand and approached Mingzhu step by step. When he saw Mingzhu retreating in panic, he grabbed Mingzhu's hand. His huge hand was like an iron pliers, making it difficult for Mingzhu to escape from this disgusting person. step.

"I don't mean to do anything bad to your family. You marry me and it has nothing to do with them. As long as you marry me and be recognized as my wife, whether you want your family to accompany you in town or casually It doesn't matter if they go home.”

Fang Xing ignored Mingzhu's struggle and held her tightly in his arms: "I didn't do it, it was Fang Deming. A selfish and arrogant person like him can't listen to others talking about his mistakes. He didn't discuss it with me -"

Mingzhu was going crazy, punching and kicking to get away from him: "That's your dad! You are all in the same group, you are all so disgusting! Especially you! Let me go!"

 At this time, she was still a girl who had just graduated from high school.

“Am I disgusted?” Fang Xiao's posture while holding her was still strong, but her voice was slightly sinister. “It's all Fang Deming's fault. You can only hate him, and you should hate him too. I hate him as much as I do.”

“Mingzhu, I don't like what you just said, don't let me hear that word again, okay? I don't allow you to hate me.”

 The pearl trembled in his arms. At this moment, the fear finally outweighed the anger.

 She married a monster.

She was stunned and somehow managed to ask such a question: "If I still scold you, will you kill me too?"

"No, you can scold me." Fang Xiao immediately released her restraint and held her hand, "As long as you relieve your anger, you can scold me as much as you want, but you can't hate me."

"You can't...look at me like you're looking at trash, you can't avoid me like a predator, you can't find me disgusting, you can't try to escape, do you understand?"

"If I find you again, I will break your legs so that you can't walk a step, and I will also take away your eyeballs so that you can't look at me with that look. Then you will have to be I am alone and will never leave.”

Fang Xiao looked at Mingzhu with gentle eyes, but what he said were such terrifying words.

Mingzhu should have looked at him with fearful eyes, but then she thought of what he said, that hopeless future is more terrifying than death. The eighteen-year-old girl opened her mouth, not daring to show any more unnecessary emotions, even Don't dare to show "don't dare".

Her brain was extremely excited, like a lit firework, exploding one after another until no trace of brain matter and other things were left, and the whole head became empty.

So, she was like a puppet, showing a stiff and exaggerated smile, her eyes were blank, she was clearly looking at Fang Xiao, but she seemed to be staring at a certain point in the void.

At a certain moment, she even felt as if she was really a puppet, unable to move or speak. She could just stand here forever and not have to do anything. How great.

"...Mingzhu?" Fang Xiao used the method of exposing the darkest thoughts in his mind to let Mingzhu know what his reverse scale was. Originally, he just wanted Mingzhu to obey and not try to leave him. As long as he didn't leave, he would have a chance to be with him. She explained that Fang Deming and he were not the same person.

He can also use practical actions to let Mingzhu know that marrying him is a very happy thing. When he finds a way to kill Fang Deming, their lives will be better, and there will no longer be accidents that make Mingzhu unhappy.

But Mingzhu suddenly became like this.

He shook Mingzhu's shoulders in panic, but Mingzhu still didn't respond. When he stopped, Mingzhu turned her face to him again, showing the same exaggerated smile as before.

Fang Xiao suddenly seemed to see the set townspeople.

 This is how the townspeople look at outsiders.

 But this is his pearl, the living pearl, the real people he met, not those ghosts created by Fang Deming!

"Mingzhu, did I scare you? I, I apologize." Fang Xiao held Mingzhu's hand tightly, "I'm joking, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I won't break your Legs, I won't take away your eyeballs, wake up, don't go, don't go—”

As he spoke, Fang Xiao started to sob: "Why does everyone I want to be nice to have to leave..."

"Mingzhu, wake up, I won't scare you anymore..."

 Mingzhu's mind was very empty at this time.

She could hear Fang Xiao's voice, but the language module in her brain seemed to have stopped working, and those words became meaningless noise to her, which she could not understand.

As long as you don't think about anything, you won't be hurt by Fang Xiao, right?

forget about it.

forget about it.

【forget about it? Um? Why is there a human being here who is gradually becoming indescribable? 】

  【Let me see what's going on? Oh, there's something wrong with your brain. I happen to be a doctor. You're so lucky. 】

I see you, your fear is delicious, but it's not on my menu. Well...I'll give you free treatment. Come to me for follow-up consultation every three days. You are the first patient I found here. You are so lucky. 】

 The unfamiliar voice in her mind gradually became clearer from garbled words. Mingzhu's eyes refocused and she blinked blankly.

 Her fear and anger seemed to disappear.

 Did the doctor cure her?

Fang Xiao saw the glint in her eyes, and her face was full of fear and joy: "You are back, you didn't leave."

“I won't scare you anymore, Mingzhu, don't be afraid.”

Mingzhu replied calmly: "Well, I'm not afraid anymore."

 When she said she was not afraid with such a strange calmness, Fang Xiao started to be afraid.

At this time, he has begun to be exposed to the control of cognitive distortion, so he could tamper with memory before. However, compared with cognitive distortion, this kind of forced tampering of memory is like a small trick, full of loopholes, and it is easy to find something wrong. Get rid of the state of tampering with memory.

The reason why Mingzhu didn't find out for so long was because she was innocent and she really fell in love with him during their relationship.

As for Mingzhu's uncle, their memories had just been tampered with, and before any loopholes could be found, they were released and killed by Fang Deming.

In short, Fang Xiao, who already had a certain degree of control, took the initiative to stop the distortion of Mingzhu's perception in Fang Mansion because of the fright that night. He was really too afraid that Mingzhu would one day become the same as before, and was created. Those empty shells.

"This is the reason why I have stayed sober for a long time." Mingzhu told Yu Xing, "He used to love and respect me so much, until...one day, he suddenly seemed to be a different person."

 “He acted like crazy, saying that his persistence was meaningless.”

“The look in my eyes has also changed. I can only feel paranoia and no respect anymore.”

“He told me that he has complete control over this town. Fang Deming can die, but he cannot die so easily.”

Mingzhu smiled bitterly.

"From that day on, he no longer helped me block the power of cognitive distortion. I think...even if I became a puppet, it was still a puppet under his hands, not created by Fang Deming, so he doesn't care anymore."

"But he doesn't know that another voice has appeared in your mind." When Yu Xing heard it, he felt it was too familiar. Isn't this the doctor?

It turns out that the doctor "treats" Mingzhu every three days to keep her awake.
