Chapter 386 Desperate Meat (23)

After her eye was gouged out, Yila's life unexpectedly fell into a short period of stability, and the rich man who couldn't see the eye disappeared for a few months.

But then, the lack of eyes became the source of their dissatisfaction.

What followed was another seemingly endless beating and abuse.

"You are not our child at all, don't pretend to be so happy!"

"Damn kid, why did you survive and why did my child die..."

Jealousy, madness, grief, sadness, all emotions mixed together, finally brewed into the darkest poisonous water.

Perhaps before Ira went mad, his adoptive parents had already gone mad.

Until the end, it was another sleep.

Feeling out of breath, Ira saw her 'mother' pinching her neck with a ferocious face.

He couldn't breathe, his face was flushed, and his neck seemed to be broken. The extreme loss and the fear of life and death made Yila fall into the most complete despair.

Abandoned and sold by his biological parents, abused and mutilated by his adoptive parents, the precocious and intelligent boy who didn't even have his own name uttered a cry from his heart and soul.

"—In your eyes, what should I look like?!"

【If only I didn't have this eye】

【If only I were Ira】

【If only they don't remember everything about Ira】

【The human world is so scary...】

【if……】

【If only I could forget all of this...】

When Baron Ryan, who was reminded, came to the rich family's home in a corner of the village, the large courtyard had already become a purgatory on earth.

The originally quiet courtyard was full of corpses of servants, but the strange thing was that all of these corpses were extremely distorted, as if they were imitating some kind of animal.

And among the many corpses, a child sat blankly surrounded by a man and a woman, chewing desperate meat.

"What are you eating?"

"Mad Beef."

……

"Uncle Moda, I think this person looks like a pig."

"Hey, Master Yila, this kind of talk is impolite, you can't talk nonsense... But why do you say he looks like a pig? He is not fat."

"I can see that he is lazy, sleeps after eating, and has all kinds of dirty thoughts in his head—isn't he a pig?"

"Haha, what about this one?"

"This uncle is a bear! Although he looks gentle, he is very violent when he is provoked. He will beat up his family and he likes to eat sweets!"

"Indeed, Bray has a bad temper... What about the deer?"

"This deer looks like a horse! It likes to run and race. It's a horse!"

"Hahaha, how do you tell? What about me?"

"Uncle Moda...Although he is a bit evil and greedy, he is very kind to me and my father. He is a human being."

……

The psychic light in his eyes converged, and Ian ended his investigation of the 'past' this time.

At this moment, he realized that his new function of predictive vision, which he had evolved in the South China Sea ruins group, might need to be used in a place with a lot of "emotions".

In addition, listening to someone's narration can also follow the narration and spy on some information behind it.

At this moment, Moda is still talking about Iraq.

"That's pretty much the way it is."

From his point of view, Ira was just a child who was brought home by Baron Ryan and who had been viciously abused.

The child who was brought back to the castle in the first place was covered with bruises and looked like he was about to die, but he still smiled flatteringly at the surrounding adults.

And when Ira's wounds were all healed, he returned to his true nature-this is a lively and active child who is very talented in artistic creation.

The animals in his paintings are vivid, but the people in his paintings are very distorted and crooked, and there is no human appearance at all.

only……

"I never thought that what he said to me was actually true... He can modify my memory and other people's memories, making people think that they are pigs, making flesh and human bones look like building blocks and toys, and also It makes me feel that the young master's resentful spirit is a real child..."

Telling these facts itself is a huge devastation to the spirit of the old steward.

Psychic psykers are not very effective for ordinary sublimators and psykers. The powerful source quality reaction in the sublimator can easily block the spiritual influence of others, but the permanent damage caused by spiritual psykers to ordinary people Sexual damage, as well as a certain degree of convenience, are unmatched by other sublimators.

Steward Moda must constantly select from his fragmented memory fragments those pictures that have been messily modified.

The words were fragmented, and even the old steward himself didn't know what he was talking about—but he still insisted, gritting his teeth and finished it all: "That's it, sir. And Sister Reflecting Light."

"Master Ira has the ability to modify people's memories and concepts of things. I... probably was modified voluntarily. I like this kind of false harmony... I don't want to know the truth at all, so... I never resisted Pass."

He tried to blame some of the fault on himself.

"It's not your fault." Sister Guangguang drew two concentric circles on her chest. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "You are not a sublimator, nor a psychic, nor a priest. You have no power , there is no obligation to do anything.”

"Moda is in charge, if you are tired, go to rest, and then we will investigate by ourselves."

"No!"

But the old steward blushed. At this moment, Ian could feel a powerful but indescribable emotion burst out.

He roared angrily: "You want to abandon me? I'm not so fragile yet! I must know, masters and young masters...why exactly...why did you become like this!"

Those false memories brought too much beauty to the old steward, but the essence was too fragile, like a castle built of gravel.

Now, the castle is crumbling, and his spirit is empty, if he can't fill it with a truth, or another lie...

He will definitely go crazy.

"Well..."

Sighing softly, Ian didn't want to abandon him.

In fact, he knew very well that if the old steward was not allowed to show some contribution, the executor of the Huaiguang Temple and the noble court who would arrive tomorrow would probably be able to demolish him.The former is not necessarily true, but the latter can definitely tear him down.

What he did now would allow Sister Yingguang to write a few more words for him, proving that he is a positive helper to the incident and a friend of the church.

This is the only way for ordinary people to survive without much damage after falling into the cases of cults and nobles.

But this road may cause some great mental damage to ordinary people.

I can't bear it in my heart, but Ian is very calm on the surface-he will try his best to keep calm in the outside world, so that others will not see his thoughts.

How could he be so calm after learning about Baron Ryan's experience and actions, as well as Ira's past?
It's just that Ian has to be calm.

"This matter involves more people and forces than we imagined."

Following Steward Moda who was walking towards the second child's room, he whispered to Sister Reflecting Light: "It is impossible for Baron Leann to find a child who has awakened psychic power without any clues—someone will guide him there."

——even, even the extreme emotional ups and downs of the rich family, and even the terrifying methods used, I think it may not be their own subjective wishes.

The young man thought.

"what do you mean……"

Sister Yingguang quickly understood. She thought of the cult she had been investigating all the way, and she couldn't help but look solemn: "It's a cult—or in other words, there is a group of people suspected of a cult who deliberately influence the parents who adopted Ira and let them abuse her. , and then prompted Iraq to awaken the psionic energy?"

"Artificially create a very hostile environment, oppressing a child with spiritual potential, making him feel desperate... and then erupting?!"

Although she didn't see the real influence of the past through psychic power like Ian did, she also knew from the mouth of the old housekeeper that Ira had suffered inhuman abuse and even mutilation.

An abnormal malice.

This would indeed explain it.

Yingguang thought about it seriously, and also thought of many doubts.

In the empire, human trafficking is indeed illegal, but it has been banned repeatedly, because whether it is nobles or ordinary people, there will always be demand to nourish this heinous business.

But a rich family bought a child back to raise him at a huge price, and then kept abusing him... It’s not that it’s impossible, but that this method is too cruel, and the emotional progress is too fast, it’s almost like It's like there's something behind it.

Someone is trying to artificially create psykers by creating great suffering.

But let's not talk about whether it will be successful or not.

Even if it succeeds—how many losers will there be?
Behind a successful and miserable Iraq, how many failed Iraqs who died silently? !

The white-haired dragon girl raised her head, and her vertical pupils revealed a fiery stream of anger like lava: "And these people are the baron's hidden helpers?"

Ian nodded silently.

If it wasn't for his vision of vision and the relevant information he got from Sister Reflecting Light, he might not have seen this.

But now is not the time to discuss these things,
Because very soon, they came to the door of the room of the second child, the boy who was so beautiful as 'Mo Qiu'.

Along the way, Manager Moda babbled about Mo Qiu's past in his memory.

In fact, there are not many deletions and revisions in the memory of the end of autumn.

This child is a refugee from the Western Plains. Because of the new war zone opened up by Flameland, the Western Plains, which has been fully put on wartime alert, has encountered the biggest changes in hundreds of years.

Once the former rear area was transformed into the front line, the former rural town directly built fortresses on the spot. Although some people stayed to cooperate with farming and combat operations, most of the residents lost their hometowns and became displaced.

And those places were also the places where Feiyan's special forces penetrated the deepest.

Nanling naturally accepted many refugees from the Western Plains, and some of them were resettled in the hilly area north of the Agate Stone Plain, where they could go to cut wood to build fields and build their own new homes.

But there were too many refugees, and it was impossible for the undeveloped Nanling Province to accept all of them, and the refugees would not be able to cross the border between the central province and the direct-controlled area for a while, so they had to go all the way south.

The journey to the south was full of blood and tears, and it was difficult to obtain supplies and food along the way. Many fleeing teams experienced extremely tragic phenomena.

People eat people.

Or in other words...

Yizi and eat.
