Infinite Throne

Sauron has the ability to mark geographic locations. He still remembers the location of the ownerless island and guides Lin Yebai along the way.

The dealer controls the boat and drives in the direction directed by Sauron. It also drives forward, but the angle is slightly off.

Sauron regrets himself every day. Why did he come to rob this ship? Although there is only one person and a dog on this ship, it is extremely terrifying.

He found that this person has a companion, a crow. Every day, Lin Yebai will play the projection on the plywood, which shows the experience of the crow in the cursed world.

Now the baby is one year old. His arms and legs have different degrees of deformity. He can't walk and it's difficult to even sit up straight.

But she discovered the existence of the crow. During the day, her eyes will unconsciously look for the bird outside the window. At night, she will try to stretch her arms and ask the crow for a hug.

The crow also gave her a name called Xiaoguai.

Because she is really well-behaved, she doesn't cry or make a fuss. She just hums twice when she wants to go to the toilet. She is almost the easiest child to take care of in the entire welfare home.

She is still rejected and feared.

That face didn't get much better with age, but became more distorted and ugly. When other children in the welfare home saw her face, they would cry loudly and have nightmares at night.

When Xiaoguai was still a baby, he could sleep in a cradle, surrounded by babies, and couldn't crawl, and couldn't see Xiaoguai's face.

Now Xiaoguai has grown up a little and can be let out to play with other children and learn to speak.

All the children of the same age are extremely afraid of her and hate her. Every time they are put together with Xiaoguai, they will cry loudly, and they will not stop until their voices are hoarse. They can't get along with Xiaoguai at all.

Xiaoguai doesn't understand why they cry. She wants to comfort them or reach out to wipe their tears, but it will only make them cry more miserably, or even piss them.

She is about to cry, not because of pain, hunger, or cold, but because the strange emotions in her heart make her want to cry.

A crow landed on the window and looked down at the child. There was a very human compassion and tenderness in its golden eyes.

She looked in that direction and felt a little relieved for some reason. The tears that were about to flow wet her long eyelashes, and she gradually fell asleep.

The aunt at the welfare home knew that it was not Xiaoguai's fault. She would not blame Xiaoguai if other children cried, but would only take those children away to coax them, leaving a sigh or two.

"Poor child..."

"Life is too hard..."

"Sinful parents..."

Later, the welfare home vacated a small empty room for Xiaoguai and placed her there alone. She was usually fed alone and was not raised with other children.

Xiaoguai lay on her back on the bed, her arms twisted together in an abnormal posture, and the thickness of her two arms was not the same.

When she was still in the baby room, there were many smells around her, the smell of laundry detergent on adults, the smell of sweat, the smell of children's diapers that were not washed clean, and the aroma of milk, mixed together to make her feel at ease.

Now those are gone.

She stayed alone in this room, damp, quiet, and there was a smell of dust. This used to be a warehouse, and things were just recently packed out, and the light was not very good.

There is always a smell of dust in places where no one lives. And it's too quiet here.

There was no crying of other children, no footsteps walking around, as if the whole world was left with only this place, and she was completely isolated from it.

The sound of birds flapping their wings gently sounded, and the crow landed at the head of her bed, bringing a wisp of flowing wind.

"Mom, Mom..."

She heard the aunt of the welfare home teaching the children to say mom and dad over and over again. After listening to it many times, she didn't know when she learned this syllable.

She tried to reach out and touch the crow.

The crow almost fell down when he heard this name, but it was a male crow!

But thinking that the child couldn't speak yet and needed to be taught slowly, she didn't say anything.

If it was a normal child, she might have touched the crow so hard. Her arms were severely deformed and she couldn't stretch them at all. It was a bit troublesome to put on clothes. She tried several times but couldn't touch them.

Crows never like children and never approach them, for fear that children would not be gentle and pull out their feathers. And if those children fail to achieve their goals, they will cry loudly with sharp voices.

Seeing that Xiaoguai didn't cry, the crow reluctantly flew down a little and was touched by her fingertips.

Xiaoguai's body temperature was no different from other children, and her fingers were very soft. Apart from the terrifying deformity, she was also soft and fragile.

She moved her fingers carefully and touched the crow's feathers. The black feathers symbolized disaster and bad luck, and they felt soft and smooth. She maintained that posture and refused to leave.

At first, Soran felt that the images in the live broadcast made him very uncomfortable, because the child was so distorted. She was simply the synonym of evil, and her appearance could even make people think of some chaotic evil gods.

For the angel bloodline that pursues perfect form, that kind of imperfect life is simply a cancer and is difficult to accept.

After watching for a long time, I gradually got used to her ugliness and began to pay attention to her other aspects, as well as the crow that was diligently raising the child.

By feeding the baby, the resentment is eliminated.

If a life with angel bloodline goes in, the fastest way to think of is definitely to end her life, so that she doesn't have to suffer too much pain.

Even Soran himself thought so. As she grew up and began to come into contact with this world, she would encounter more and more malice.

What could the crow do at that time? Could it fight against the whole world? Or lock the child in the house and let her be ignorant forever?

As for becoming this baby itself, Soran felt that he would have many negative emotions under the influence of the environment, and would not be much better than her. No matter from which aspect, it is too difficult to eliminate the resentment in this cursed world.

In other cursed worlds, the source of resentment may be a person, an object, an event, a system, etc. In this cursed world, the source of resentment is the whole world.

The environment, the same kind, and her own body are hurting her all the time.

It is too difficult for the crow to eliminate the resentment, no wonder Lin Yebai wants to fight for an unowned island.

As the Second Crow sailed, the unowned island approached. Lin Yebai wanted to fight for the island, and the ship could only dock in the shallow water. The dealer and Ergou were left on the ship to guard the Second Crow.

Soran was turned into a salted fish by Lin Yebai, and was stuffed together with his companions, put into a bag, and taken into the space by Lin Yebai and carried with him.

According to Soran, after going to the island, he will appear in a strange world, which is similar to the way to remove the resentment of the cursed object. He must find key clues and then eliminate the resentment, so as to obtain the ownership of the island.

Each island is like a large cursed object. Each person has only one chance. The only benefit may be that if the resentment fails to be eliminated, he will not be cursed.

In that world, you may meet people from other forces, who will compete for clues and destroy the results. If you die in the island world, the real body will also die.

Before entering the island, Lin Yebai continued to watch the live broadcast of Crow.

Now Xiaoguai can call mom very smoothly.

Because she stays alone in the room most of the time and has no contact with other people, she still can't say other words.

Maybe she has some problems with her vocal cords. Crow quietly taught her to say other words at night, such as dad, sun, like, etc., but she couldn't say them at all, as if she couldn't make such syllables in her throat.

She could only repeat one word "mom".

She also likes to say this word the most. Every time the crow appears, she will call it over and over again without getting tired, until the crow "cackles" as a response.

She will be quiet for a while, and then continue to call "Mom". If the crow does not make a sound, she will become anxious and keep calling.

In order to free its ears, the crow has to "cackle" again.

It is too difficult for it.

When I have nothing to do, I think, how nice it would be if Lin Yebai experienced all this.

Lin Yebai wipes the child's buttocks, Lin Yebai feeds the child, Lin Yebai combs the child's hair, cuts nails, changes diapers... Thinking of those scenes, it can't help but laugh out loud, and spends a long and difficult life with this.

Sometimes the aunt will take her out to bask in the sun when other children are taking a nap, and repeatedly teach her to speak.

After discovering that Xiaoguai can only call mom, the aunts think that she may have some problems in this regard, so they stop doing useless work.

She is already pitiful enough and deformed enough. It is normal to have more problems on her body. Everyone easily accepts this.

Sometimes they were a little scared when they heard her urgent cries. They also hoped that the child's mother would really appear, see her pitiful appearance, and then repent her sins.

It was meaningless to think about it. Even if her mother really appeared, she couldn't put the child back and give birth again.

When Lin Yebai was watching the live broadcast, Xiaoguai was taken out to bask in the sun. The aunt was going to the toilet, so she put Xiaoguai in the stroller and told her to be good and not cry.

Xiaoguai just stared at the crow on the tree, and her eyes moved as its position changed.

Before going to the toilet, the aunt said to Xiaoguai.

"That's a bird."

"Mom——" Xiaoguai stretched out his hand with difficulty to point.

"That's a black bird, not mom."

"Mom——"

"Mom——"

She began to shout repeatedly, and her voice became urgent again.

"Ga——" The crow had to call once.

If it didn't answer, Xiaoguai would shout until blood bubbles appeared in his mouth and his voice was hoarse, but he didn't stop.

"It turned out to be a crow, bad luck!"

The aunt really had to go to the toilet, so she left in a hurry and made a gesture to drive it away.

When she found that the crow had not left, she took the pole and knocked on the tree twice. The crow had to flap its wings and leave, intending to fly around and come back again.

"Mom——"

Xiaoguai found that the crow was not there, and looked around, but she was not in a hurry, because she knew that the crow would always come back.

A skinny stray dog ​​quietly came into the hole in the corner of the welfare home and trotted all the way to the yard. It found the cart and drooled on its long tongue.

There were no adults here, so it got closer and closer.

Finally, it came in front of Xiaoguai, with meat shreds hanging on its sharp teeth.

The stench from the trash can and the smell of animal hair that had not been bathed for a long time came together, and Xiaoguai was a little scared and looked at the surrounding trees.

"Mom——"

There was no tree.

"Mom——"

There was no wall.

"Hiss--"

The stray dog ​​found the child strange-looking and was too hungry. Out of its survival instinct, it opened its mouth and bit her arm.

"Bang--"

The enlarged crow stretched out its claws to grab the stray dog's eyes and kicked it away.

"Awoof--"

The stray dog ​​pounced on the crow again, but was slapped away by the crow again.

"Wow -" Xiaoguai finally started to cry. The cry was different from that of a normal child. It was hoarse and chaotic, forced out of his throat, and sounded a bit scary.

Crows are also suppressed in the world of curses. They have no way to use the aura of doom and only have the basic abilities of growing bigger, smaller, and speaking human words.

"Woof woof woof——"

The aunt heard the dog barking in the yard and rushed out with a stick. The crow quickly became smaller and stopped in a hidden corner of the tree.

"Dead dog!"

The aunt chased the dog and drove it out of the orphanage.

Xiaoguai stopped crying and continued to look for the crow with his eyes.

"Fortunately, it didn't bite me. I heard that in some places children were bitten to death by dogs and eaten..."

"Some people keep dogs and then throw them away. There have been more and more stray dogs in recent years."

"If you don't want to raise it, don't raise it. Why raise it and then throw it away?"

The aunt sighed a few words and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Xiaoguai didn't cry anymore. Some stray dogs can be kept by their owners for several years, but this child was thrown away at birth.

"Mother--"

Xiaoguai saw the crow on the tree.

The aunt also saw that the crow was much cuter than the stray dog, at least it would not fly down and bite the child. She was too tired from chasing the dog, and now she couldn't be bothered to chase the crow away.

"Mother--"

"That's a crow, not a mother." The aunt repeated it over and over again, hoping to teach Xiaoguai a new word. Even if the word was unpleasant, it would be better than Xiaoguai being a fool who could only call her mother.

"crow."

"crow."

"That's a crow."

"Crow--" Xiaoguai finally said the second syllable, probably because it is easy for children to say "crow" or "mom".

"Mom——" Xiaoguai drawled his voice.

"Crow, a little crow." Auntie continued to teach her.

"Mom Crow—" Xiaoguai laughed, and the expression on his face became even more terrifying, and Auntie looked away. I also feel that if this child was really a fool, he might live a happier life.

Since then, the crow has been inseparable and will never let the little boy out of his sight.

It wasn't until Xiaoguai was two years old that he was sent to the hospital to undergo cleft lip and palate surgery. There are many foundations for children's medical care in China, and congenital cleft lip and palate like Xiaoguai can be restored through surgery. Even if her limbs cannot be restored, it would be good to improve her facial appearance.

For a serious condition like Xiaoguai's, it is difficult to fully recover from one operation, and two or three operations may be required.

Lin Yebai entered the island after seeing that Xiaoguai's surgery was successful. This should be the beginning of Xiaoguai's situation getting better?

There were crows there, which made him feel more at ease. The crow is indeed very suitable. If he had thrown the two dogs into it at that time, it would definitely not be as peaceful as it is now.

Lin Yebai planned to get the ownership of the island as soon as possible and directly merge the freak with the island, so that the little boy could truly come to life and release the crows.

The little boy who came back to life at that time was definitely not an ordinary human baby. He didn't know what kind of existence he would create with such strong resentment.

Lin Yebai finally walked onto the island, stepped on the wet beach, and walked towards the depths of the mist-shrouded island.

At some point, the path under his feet changed, from the beach to the stairwell. It is the kind of safe passage in a community. It is very narrow and can only pass one person at a time. Judging from the peeling plaster on the wall, this building is quite old.

In his hand he held a bunch of keys with the house number on them.

1103.

Lin Yebai glanced down. He had climbed at least five or six floors, and the room he lived in was probably on the eleventh floor.

Lin Yebai went to the elevator again and found that the elevator buttons could not be pressed today. There might be a power outage or maintenance.

Lin Yebai had no choice but to take the stairs and go all the way to the eleventh floor. The world on the island is less restrictive than the world of curses, and he can use some of his abilities.

The corridor seemed to reek of corpses, and the doors to rooms 1101 and 1102 next door were closed.

Lin Yebai used the key to open the door of Room 1103, and the door of Room 1101 behind him happened to open at this time.

An extremely strong corpse smell came.

"Dad, don't give it away -" a gentle male voice sounded.

"I'll take you downstairs and give you the access card, otherwise you won't be able to leave the community."

"There's a power outage today. Dad, please don't go down the stairs in your body. On the 11th floor, don't leave. Let me go down by myself. There are ways to get out of the community. Just register. It's not a hassle."

"Dad is in good health. Don't say these things to me! Isn't it just the eleventh floor? When dad was young, he would still go up and down even if it was the twentieth floor."

"Don't send me away. If you send me away again, I won't come to see you next time."

"Hahaha, no more, no more, dad will watch you go down the stairs to the main office."

"OK."

The speakers should be a father and son.

Both of them had a faint corpse smell, and Lin Yebai couldn't tell for a moment who was smelling it, or whether both of them had the same smell.

Lin Yebai had always turned his back to them, always looking for the key to open the door, slowly stalling for time. He tried a key several times but failed to open the door.

The old man in room 1101 did not close the door and was probably watching his son go downstairs. Probably unable to see his son, his eyes moved to Lin Yebai.

The old man coughed twice and asked, "Are you the young man who just moved in here?"

"I'm old, my eyesight is not good, and my hearing is also poor, but if you have any problems or need anything, you can knock on my door." The old man's tone was quite friendly.

"Neighbors should take care of each other."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Yebai responded politely and looked back. The old man was thin, at least in his seventies or eighties, hunched over, with a thick layer of yellow-brown film in his eyes, and he should have some kind of eye disease.
