Chapter 56: Facing Fear

Seeing his big eyes falling on his arms, Zhang Shun raised his head and asked Xiaoyu with a smile: "I'm writing on my own hands, why are you crying?"

Xiaoyu wiped her tears and said, "I know that it will hurt when I get hurt in this...illusion. I fell last time and my knees hurt for a long time, so your hands must be very painful."

Zhang Shun patted Xiaoyu's head and said, "Brother is not afraid of pain, just a little skin trauma. I used to..." As he said, he began to tell Xiaoyu stories while thinking about the keywords.

Zhang Shun's story is not beautiful. It's not that he can't make up, but that the "beautiful world" is a lie to Xiaoyu. Her world is not beautiful. Imagine that I am surrounded by rabbits, deer, birds, puppies, and kittens are of no benefit to her. When the friends around her are wolves, tigers, eagles, leopards, and snakes, anyone will be more courageous.

The corners of the skirt were covered with blood. Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and picked up her teddy bear to rub the blood for Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun asked with a smile: "The bear is full of blood, how can you chew it? Are you a vampire?"

Xiaoyu's hand did not pause, and continued to wipe the blood and said, "I'm not afraid. If you wipe your blood, Teddy will smell yours. Big brother, are there really ghosts in this world?"

Zhang Shun smiled and said, "Vampires are not ghosts, they are monsters that specialize in blood-eating. They have sharp teeth, fast speed and strength, and can recover quickly after being injured. They are much more powerful than ordinary people. They did exist before, but they disappeared later."

"It's gone? Why is it gone?"

"Because after the psychics appeared in large numbers and formed a scale, there was a rule that they could not harm ordinary people and could not easily reveal their superpowers in front of ordinary people. There were many psychics with incorrect minds who finally had superpowers but could not go to others to show off their sensation. They were so uncomfortable that they turned their target to the vampire clan and played the game of hunting vampires. Vampires were better than ordinary people, but they were worse than those of psychics, so they were quickly slaughtered."

"Vampire is so pitiful..." Xiaoyu glanced at the blood-stained teddy bear and muttered in a low voice.

Zhang Shun smiled again: "How to say this? Although vampires are good and bad, that group has indeed killed many humans and have reasons to kill them. This is the same as ordinary people, and you must remember that there is no absolute good or absolute evil in this world, there is no absolute good or absolute bad people, there is no absolute good or absolute bad people, the psychics treat vampires, vampires treat humans the same as humans treat other animals. One day a more powerful existence appears, the psychics may be killed; one day a new species appears, and humans may be killed."

Xiaoyu began to worry about herself: "Will there really be a more powerful existence?"

Zhang Shun nodded seriously: "Since ancient times, there has been an existence in this world that is stronger than the psychics. However, the number is too small and the ability is slowly degrading. As long as you don't provoke it, there will be no threat to us. I will tell you about this kind of existence in the future. As for the new existence, it should be a few hundred years later. It's not our turn to worry."

Xiaoyu nodded and stopped asking questions. Zhang Shun took the opportunity to ask about Xiaoyu's family situation. Unfortunately, Xiaoyu didn't know what her parents were called. She knew her appearance but couldn't tell why. The teddy bear had the smell of a mother, and she could remember the voice of her father in her mind. That's all, she didn't even know what her surname was. Her parents always called her Xiaoyu.

After carving the words on both arms, Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief. This pain was far worse than the hammer magic skill, but it was very troublesome to engrave words on the right arm with your left hand.

With his palm facing upwards, Zhang Shun said, "Let's go, let's get wet in the rain."

Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide and asked timidly: "Can you...can't you be wet from the rain?"

Zhang Shun shook his head: "There is nothing to be afraid of in the rain, it's just water. You are afraid of rain now, just because the memories related to rain are only cold and wet, which are bad memories. Let's go to the rain together. When you see it rain, you will recall the scene of us playing in the rain together. In this way, you will not only not be afraid, but also be very happy. After leaving the illusion, you can remember what happened here. Believe me, okay?"

Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage to nod, reached out and grabbed Zhang Shun's left hand covered in blood, and the two walked outdoor together.

Perhaps it wasn't as scared as before. The rain in the illusion became much smaller. When she first came into contact with the raindrops, Xiaoyu's body trembled violently, but after Zhang Shun pulled her out of the orphanage and ran and jumped on the spacious street, the situation became much better.

Zhang Shun introduced the pedestrians on the road to Xiaoyu, carried her on her shoulders and looking into the distance, and told in detail about the streets and buildings of Qingji City. Xiaoyu was able to remember some taller buildings, which showed that she was from Qingji City before she was abducted, but she couldn't tell the direction of her home. She could only remember it when she was near her home. Zhang Shun could not take her around the city. After all, there were many places he had never been to.

The direction of the two of them was Wufu Inn. The closer they got to the inn, the more detailed Zhang Shun explained the nearby roads. When he arrived at the entrance of the inn, he stopped and asked Xiaoyu to remember the approximate distance between this location and the distant building.

"If you can escape one day, come here to find me. Do you know?" Zhang Shun pointed to the sign on the gate of Wufu Inn and said.

Xiaoyu nodded, carefully wrote down the sign of Wufu Inn, followed Zhang Shun into the inn, and began to meet the people in the inn.

She was amused by Mr. Yang's funny appearance and frightened by the tall and strong chef Niu. Zhang Shun hugged her and pinched the blind Taoist's nose, touched the monk's light head, and danced Jia Banxian's flag at the entrance of the inn, and the laughter of Xiaoyu filled the entire street.

After a while, two people, one big and one small, sat on the ground, and began to think about ways to leave in the rain. Of course, Zhang Shun was responsible for this matter, and Xiaoyu just kept thinking about it.

"Can I dream of you next time?" After thinking for a while, Xiaoyu asked. She still called the illusion a dream before she had finished digesting the knowledge she received today.

"It's very difficult." Zhang Shun said helplessly: "If you can't control the superpowers, you can't choose the target. You can probably choose some sleeping people at random. Only when you can fully control the superpowers can you do it. To understand the "rules" I mentioned carefully, you won't have to be afraid of anyone in these illusions in the future. But before that, you must be careful. Now the people who are pulled into the illusions by you should be psychics. They know what's going on, and they may come to you and kill you. So after finding the back door this time, you must be prepared to leave at any time and not be hurt by those people."

"Hehe, you are actually here to kill me, right?" Xiaoyu asked with a smile while playing with the teddy bear in her hand.

"Yes," Zhang Shun did not deny: "For psychics, entering the illusion means being attacked by psychics of 'heart' type, and naturally they have to resist immediately. Therefore, those who want to hurt you are not necessarily bad people. They may be more scared than you, because your illusion is really amazing."

Xiaoyu said proudly: "When I master the 'rules', I will not bully them, at most... scare them."

Zhang Shun hurriedly said, "That's not possible! A dog jumps over the wall when it's anxious, a mouse bites a cat when it's anxious, and a rabbit will kick its legs three times when it's anxious. If it's urgent, you will be in danger. Besides, you can't bully others casually, right? Be a good boy, don't be naughty. Also, you must not mention it to anyone who is a psychic, and try not to use it on ordinary people, otherwise there will be powerful people coming to the door and arrest you for the rest of your life. If those people take action, you will not be able to escape no matter how powerful you are."

Seeing Xiaoyu showing a fearful expression, Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief. If he had to pull the wing group, he would have harmed others, himself, and Xiaoyu.

"Have you thought of a solution?" Xiaoyu put her elbow on her knees, held her cheeks with two small fists, and looked like she was thinking carefully.

Zhang Shun sat next to her like Xiaoyu, thought for a while and said, "The solution is to think of one, but I don't know if it is useful. Aren't you afraid of the rain? If you can find a way to stop the rain, maybe the illusion will be broken."

Xiaoyu said "Oh", with no joy in her tone, and she asked in a low voice: "How do you stop?"

"The more you are afraid of the rain, the heavier it will be. Negative emotions are the rain accelerator. You have to think about it in the better direction. When you are with your parents, when you play house with your bear, when you want to play with me, when you are happier, the less the rain is. Let's see what happens when the rain stops."

Xiaoyu nodded, closed her eyes and began to recall. Her long eyelashes trembled from time to time, and Hugo immediately changed. However, the change was very unstable. The raindrops were sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and at the most violent times, even bigger than before.

Zhang Shun looked up at the sky in surprise. The clouds rolled like waves. Due to the changes in the thickness of the clouds, the sky became sometimes dark and sometimes bright. When the dark clouds were the thickest, countless lightning could be seen shuttled back and forth in the clouds, as if monsters were trapped in the clouds and their skin could emit dazzling light.

Xiaoyu's expression is also changing. When the rain is raining, it becomes relaxed and even smiles. When the rain is heavy, the breathing is rapid, the eyebrows are tightly twisted together, and the mouth is slightly opened, revealing the tightly clenched teeth.

Just as the brightest lightning flashed across the sky, her tightly clenched fist was held by a wet but warm hand, and Zhang Shun's gentle voice sounded: "Don't escape reality, don't be afraid to go back, don't give up the hope of survival, don't tell yourself that everything will be fine, then you will lose yourself, you are not safe, you must always have a sense of crisis, protect yourself, and survive, one day you will be free again. You may not understand these words of mine, but you must remember them and slowly experience them. You are very smart, Xiaoyu, I believe in you."
