Chapter 451 Redemption of the Turtle Boss
[The orphanage that took me in was funded and established by Liming Haunted House. The original intention of the establishment was to shelter all the children whose families were destroyed due to supernatural events. 】
[Here, I met another child named Lu. When his parents had an accident, he was only six years old. He had the ability to remember things, but he did not have enough mental endurance. 】
[He was stimulated by witnessing his family members being killed by members of the Smiley Face Organization and having their heads cut off and placed in the refrigerator. He has a serious tendency to self-mutilate, so he has always had a dedicated caregiver to take care of him. 】
[The first time I saw him, I was shocked by his scarred face.]
【But when he held my hand and called me brother, I suddenly fell in love with him.】
[Later, I understood that, actually, I didn’t like him, I just liked the feeling of being needed.]
【I desperately want to find some meaning for my existence.】
【Someone likes me and needs me!】
[When I was in the orphanage, I often took special care of him. I quarreled and even fought with other people's children because of him. My fear of his face gradually turned into liking him. 】
[He is so miserable, he is so pitiful, and he is so ugly, so only I will truly like him and treat him sincerely. Without me, his life will lose meaning and color. ]
【And I also enjoy the feeling that he relies on me.】
【I think we are each other's salvation.】
[But later, the psychiatrist said that I have a personality disorder. I can’t empathize, I don’t understand what love is, and I can’t really love others. My so-called “love” is just to get enough “sense of accomplishment” and “
"Satisfaction". He said, I have never really liked Lu Shaoen, let alone regarded him as my brother. He said... I regard Lu Shaoen more as a dog who needs to rely on me to survive.]
[I didn’t understand what the psychiatrist meant at that time. But because of his diagnosis, I became a minor psychopath. No one would be willing to adopt a mentally ill child.]
【However, I don’t want to be adopted either.】
[In the orphanage, I still had my lovely younger brother Lu Shaoen. After leaving the orphanage, I had nothing.]
[Only contrary to expectations, I had to leave the orphanage when I became an adult. Later, I could not find the job I wanted, so I returned to the orphanage, hoping that the director could introduce me to a job. 】
[He told me that the number of caregivers in the orphanage is full, but he knows a very dangerous but high-paying job. Doing this job can save many people, so that they will no longer have their families destroyed because of ghosts like me.]
【Save others?】
【I feel my heart speeding up.】
[I feel that it is my heart of justice that is calling me! I am different from what the psychiatrist said. I can love others and I can dedicate myself to others! 】
[I decisively asked for the brochure of Dawn Haunted House and went to interview the owner of the haunted house.]
[The owner of the haunted house of the previous generation was a young man who liked to drink tea and walk birds. He was very young, probably only in his early twenties, but he had white hair, and the things he liked to do were all done by the elderly. 】
[He is always slow and leisurely, as if a person has no energy and strength. If I have to use an animal to describe him, it would be a turtle, a turtle that is unwilling to turn over if its shell is overturned. 】
[I changed my mind about him when I went on a mission for the first time and applied for rescue.]
[On that mission, I went to a haunted hospital.]
[Because that ghost is a wraith, it only appears at night.]
[It was late at night, and I was catching ghosts alone in a haunted hospital. I felt like I was shaking all over.]
【I am not trembling with fear, but with excitement.】
[As long as I think that after I catch the ghost, many families will no longer be torn apart, and they will sincerely thank me for sacrificing myself to save them, I tremble with excitement!]
[But when the ghost suddenly appeared, my excitement was replaced by fear.]
[Unlike watching ghost movies, the feeling of being in close contact with ghosts is really scary! The bone-chilling coldness destroyed my sanity, and I chose to escape without hesitation.]
【However, the ghost dragged me by my legs and pulled me into the room.】
[I watched him paint with my blood, I watched him eat my flesh and blood, and I was scared to death.]
[I thought I was going to die here! But I suddenly noticed that there was another me in the room. 】
[He was wearing a doctor’s white coat and looked at me coldly.]
[The resentful spirit seemed unable to see the other me and had no intention of doing anything to him. No, maybe the other me was very strong and this resentful spirit did not dare to take action. I asked the other me for help, but he just pointed.
The location of my heart.]
【Until now, I didn’t remember that I could ask for help.】
[The turtle boss gave me a breast shield as a greeting gift. If the breast shield is damaged, it will automatically call for help. ]
[The next second I asked for help, the turtle boss appeared. He was still wearing the old-fashioned Chinese tunic suit and holding a copper coin sword in his hand. 】
[Before I had time to see his movements clearly, the resentful spirit died in front of me.]
[However, I noticed that he suddenly had an age spot on the back of his hand. 】
[Moreover, the moment Boss Oogway appeared, the other "I" disappeared. 】
【As if that "I" is just my illusion.】
【But I know it's not.】
[Later, I learned that Boss Oogway took the initiative to become the owner of a haunted house in order to gain stronger power and wipe out the ghosts in the world. As a price, he sacrificed his life span.]
[Moreover, as long as he makes large-scale movements, his remaining lifespan will become even shorter. Ironically, before becoming the owner of the haunted house, "Turtle" was famous for his fast sword. It is said that the enemy often has no time to see his appearance.
If you move the sword, you will fall under his sword.】
[Out of curiosity, I specifically read the information and learned that most of the things you sacrifice when you become the owner of a haunted house are longevity dollars. However, the method of extracting longevity dollars for the turtle boss is a bit special.]
[And to become the owner of a haunted house, the sacrifices required are not chosen by oneself, but by...selecting the sacrifices. 】
[The name of the selector is blurred, so I can’t see clearly. But looking at the meaning behind it, the things that haunted house owners sacrifice are usually the things they care about most.]
[Most people care more about their own lives, so most of the deductions are life span.]
[The current owner of the Midnight Haunted House sacrificed his own wife and daughter.]
[I think if the owner of the Midnight Haunted House had known that becoming a haunted house owner would involve sacrificing his wife and daughter, he probably wouldn’t have become the owner of the haunted house, right?]
[After all, the reason why the owner of the Midnight Haunted House wants to become the boss is because he wants to use the power of the haunted house to protect the world. To this end, he once swore to the haunted house that he could sacrifice everything. 】
[And the haunted house seems to have heard his vow...]
【"To prove your determination, sacrifice your own family first."】
[I just think the four haunted houses are really funny.]
