Infinite Throne

The thunderstorm drowned out their cries for help, and the next day people found that the couple had died, burned into a twisted shape, extremely hideous.

Xiaoguai hid in the basement and successfully escaped.

People did not find her body, so they thought she was burned to death with the couple, and they did not have the patience to look for her.

Maybe they thought that dying in an accident was a good ending, and with her parents who loved her.

After the villa was destroyed by fire, no one repaired it, and it remained empty.

After the heavy rain, the grass and trees were lush.

The white three-story building had been blackened by fire. It was originally built with bricks and stones, and the general structure was not damaged.

In order to raise children, the crow has become a skilled thief, and even began to steal water and electricity and install electrical appliances in the basement.

Xiaoguai likes this kind of life, she began to like quietness. She no longer thinks noisy places are good.

She doesn't like to talk, and is always silent.

Occasionally she cries, or feels inexplicably depressed.

There was no mirror in the basement, and the crow didn't want her to see these. Xiaoguai wanted a mirror, so the crow had to get a small mirror.

Xiaoguai looked at the ugly face in the mirror and began to tremble. She closed her eyes, and the monster in the mirror also closed its eyes.

She opened her eyes, and the monster opened its eyes.

"Ah——"

A hoarse cry, unspeakable fear, and deep resentment.

The mirror was smashed by her.

She curled up and cried, choking with grief.

The crow became much bigger, held her under its wings, and gently patted her back with its wings. Even if the crow wanted to lie to her, she could see her deformed arms when she lowered her head.

In the past, the couple would only bring her out when filming, and would prepare the filming content, but would not bring her to the mirror specifically.

Xiaoguai always stayed in a dark place, thinking that she was a disabled and sick child, and had no high expectations for her appearance.

When she really saw it, she found that the face was shockingly ugly, distorted, and disgusting, and she was still scared.

She didn't realize it when she was young, but now she has an aesthetic sense.

The people she has seen are all normal, no matter beautiful or ugly, at least their limbs are healthy. Accepting such a fate is undoubtedly very cruel for a young child.

When she lowered her head, looked at her arms and deformed legs, she had an impulse to destroy everything.

In the end, she just threw herself into the crow's arms and fell asleep with sobs.

The place returned to peace for a while, and no one was willing to come. It was originally a very remote place, and the neighbors were far away. In order to prevent the secret of the family from being discovered, the couple had no good friends nearby.

After several months, only the servants came.

She knew that there was a hidden basement in the villa, and Xiaoguai had been hidden there before.

She heard about the fire and came to say goodbye.

It had been several months, and even if Xiaoguai did not die in the fire, he would have starved to death in the basement.

Some people said that the family of three died in the fire, and that the deformed fetus was indeed a born monster, which would bring misfortune, and only the fire could purify her sins.

Some people also said that the monster-like child was not found. She was completely purified by the flames and burned to ashes.

The servant was afraid of seeing the rotting corpse in the basement, so he mustered up the courage to open the entrance and found that it was very clean and brand new. There was a child's bed, a refrigerator, and a TV, almost all the daily necessities a normal person needs.

"Monster——"

The servant did not find Xiaoguai and called in a low voice.

The temperature in the basement is lower than outside, and it is often the place where various murders occur. The things here are not like what a child can do. There must be an adult hiding here.

What is the purpose of that person?

The servant was terrified and planned to call twice and leave.

Xiaoguai hid in the secret compartment behind the wardrobe after hearing the noise in the basement. If she wanted to come out, she could come out through the wardrobe. If she didn't want to, even if others opened the wardrobe, they could only see the partition and could not find Xiaoguai hiding behind it.

The crow always felt unsafe and wanted to dig more tunnels, or basements, etc.

Obviously it is a bird, in order to raise children, it has learned water and electricity circuit decoration, digging tunnels, designing secret compartments, etc., and has made significant progress.

Usually when it was with Lin Yebai, it only needed to cast curse auras or explore the environment, which was relatively comfortable. It was not until now that it encountered difficulties that it developed multiple skills.

"Monster——"

The servant was still calling Xiaoguai. She had overdrawn all her courage to come here today. If she couldn't find Xiaoguai, she would never come again.

Xiaoguai heard the servant's voice and hid behind the secret compartment, hesitating a little. She didn't know whether she should go out. The servant was a woman in her thirties or forties, raising two children after divorce.

Xiaoguai didn't detect any malice from the servant. Compared with the adoptive parents, the servant who secretly prepared food for her was a very good person.

Even with the company of the crow, Xiaoguai was still too lonely.

The crow's perspective on the world is different from that of humans. Even if it is very close to Xiaoguai, it is difficult to communicate with Xiaoguai.

Xiaoguai, who is growing up, already has his own thoughts. He also longs for others to accept him besides the crow. He longs to see the sun every day and read books on the green lawn... The daily life of most children is what she dreams of.

She likes the feeling of being bathed in sunshine. Even though the light is sometimes glaring and it is very hot outside, she still likes the sun.

The servants didn’t particularly resist her before. When she first came to this country, the servants would bathe and change her clothes.

“Monster——”

For the third time, Xiaoguai finally crawled out of the secret compartment and huddled in the closet.

“Woo——”

Xiaoguai made a vague response.

The servant approached cautiously, always alert, afraid that a pervert would appear around, but in fact there was no one. The crow stopped in a dark corner, observing the servant’s every move.

It actually felt that Xiaoguai was easily hurt no matter where she was. Because the human heart is the most changeable thing. Even if it expresses acceptance in a short period of time, it will hate it at some point in the future.

But in this case, it has no way to tell Xiaoguai directly.

And Xiaoguai is a child who believes in love and desires love.

Just like when she was lying in the crib when she was a child, she tried to open her arms to the people around her, imagining that she would be held in her arms and comforted softly like other children.

But she never got it.

The crow only appears when there is no one around.

The crow could not stop her desire for the crowd. If she was told directly that no one would like her, it would be a huge harm to her.

If she was allowed to contact the crowd, she would be hurt and abandoned sooner or later... If she continued to develop, there would only be two possibilities. One is that she finally found a human who was willing to accept her and treat her well. The other is that she was covered with bruises, discouraged, and lost trust in everyone in the world.

"It's great that you are still alive."

"It's incredible."

"Who put you here?"

Xiaoguai did not answer the servant. She never wanted the existence of the crow to be known to others.

Her understanding of the world was still vague. She didn't know that other crows in the world were not like this crow, which could change size freely and speak human language.

"It's great that you are alive."

The servant was a little surprised, and even thought of taking Xiaoguai back at a certain moment, but she gave up quickly. There were still two children to raise at home. She no longer had the ability to raise another child, and a child with such a congenital deformity.

"I will come to see you when I am free in the future..."

"Is that man good to you? Is he dangerous?"

"I will try to come here and bring you some candy. I hope you will be happy."

"The Lord loves you forever, Monster."

A little bit of sporadic kindness is precious to Xiaoguai. She looked at the servant with clear eyes, with the warmth and softness unique to a cub.

After that, the servant came once or twice a month, sometimes with wild flowers picked on the road, sometimes with candy, chocolate and some food saved.

She was always worried about running into the person who was secretly raising Xiaoguai in the basement, and always came during the day. But she didn't meet him once, and she guessed that it might be someone with physical disabilities who was raising Xiaoguai.

Xiaoguai's mental state stabilized a little.

Since the fire, Xiaoguai often fell into inexplicable depression and irritability, and began to hate his body.

But she looked forward to the servant's arrival and told her some trivial things, such as the newly bought blueberry pie, the lame cat at home, etc.

The crow is actually quite arrogant and withdrawn. He usually thinks Ergou is not smart enough and can't chat with him.

He doesn't know how to take care of a child with psychological problems. Even though he is extremely important in Xiaoguai's heart, he always lacks in communication.

The appearance of the servant slightly fills some of the gaps. She comes at irregular times, which makes Xiaoguai always look forward to it. She is always happy when she hears footsteps and wants to know what gifts will come this time.

Xiaoguai will also make some small gifts with the crow for the kind-hearted woman.

However, the quiet abandoned villa welcomed uninvited guests.

At first, the children in the neighborhood would come here to explore, and later some young people wanted to see this legendary haunted house and the place where the devil disappeared.

They sprinkle holy water here, carve spells, or use some dead animals for sacrifice. Some people try to eliminate the devil, and some people try to sacrifice the devil to gain strength.

During the day, Xiaoguai is always worried that someone will break in, and he can't calm down no matter what he does.

At night, people still come to explore, and several times they almost find the very secret basement.

The servants also found out about this and warned those people not to disturb the peace of the deceased. Those people just laughed at her and said she was a stupid believer.

She felt that Xiaoguai was no longer safe here and wanted to take her home, but she could not make a thorough decision.

Until someone found the basement and threw a body in it. Crow planned to take Xiaoguai to live in another place. A crew happened to be shooting here and wanted to make a horror movie.

Before Crow had time to move out, the crew moved in nearby. The body in the basement was cut up by Crow and thrown into the refrigerator, and secretly taken out every night to bury it.

The truth will always come out.

Xiaoguai was still discovered.

The crew wanted Xiaoguai to participate in the performance and play the role of a ghost child, and she herself was a dead "demon" and was born with heat.

Xiaoguai saw appreciation and recognition from the director's eyes for the first time. She didn't understand why for the time being, but she still felt accepted.

The servant came to visit Xiaoguai as usual, but this time she brought nothing. Because she lost her job and even owed a sum of money, she was so anxious that she didn't know where to go. She didn't dare to face the two children at home, and thought of Xiaoguai, so she came to see him and talk about some troubles.

Sometimes she lost hope of life and wanted to end this bad life, but when she thought of Xiaoguai still trying to live, she felt that everything she had experienced was nothing, at least she still had a healthy body.

When she came over, the crew was discussing the idea of ​​letting Xiaoguai participate in the show, and she joined in. In the end, they decided to adopt Xiaoguai and let Xiaoguai cooperate with the crew to shoot together.

This was the first time Xiaoguai realized his value.

Unlike the previous short video shooting.

The crew was shooting the movie seriously and creating various horror atmospheres. And some of the bodies that were not handled in the refrigerator gradually emitted a strange smell because of the power outage.

The crow was already very cautious and careful. When Xiaoguai came into contact with the crowd, the crow finally showed its traces in front of people.

People didn't know the strangeness of this crow, but they thought that Xiaoguai raised the crow and got its recognition.

This is really a magical story. The director even thought that after filming this movie, he would use Xiaoguai as the protagonist to film the story between her and the crow.

The first movie was filmed smoothly.

Now Xiaoguai has a new adoptive mother, who treats Xiaoguai well. But she also has two children, a son who is ten years old and a daughter who is eight years old.

She will never be able to give the same amount of maternal love. When her son and daughter need their mother, she is always the first to appear.

In contrast, Xiaoguai is more pitiful.

The two children are very repulsive to Xiaoguai and think that she has taken their mother away.

When the adults are around, they call Xiaoguai their sister and treat her very well. When the adults are not around, vicious curses, pinch marks hidden under clothes... bullying happens all the time.

In the middle of the night, the crow tried to smother the little girl.

Human morality and rule of law cannot restrict its actions. Anyone who hurts Xiaoguai and touches its bottom line will be solved by it at all costs.

Just when the little girl was dying, Xiaoguai appeared.

"No——"

Xiaoguai asked the crow to stop.

She envied the little girl, who was an overly beautiful child with long golden hair and green eyes, like a little angel.

Her brother and mother loved her very much, and the staff and actors in the crew also loved her.

Xiaoguai had nothing except the crow.

Fortunately, she had the crow.

But she didn't want the crow to kill her sister, even though her sister didn't like Xiaoguai. If her sister died, the woman would be very sad. If the woman knew the truth, the crow would be very dangerous, and they would kill the crow.

The crow became small again and flew out of the window, feeling a little depressed. In the outside world, it could kill those who made it angry when it was unhappy, but it couldn't do it easily here.

If the mother and daughter were killed, Xiaoguai would continue to bear the name of a demon, and no one would approach her again.

The crow had already processed the surveillance in advance, and no one could find out what it did tonight.

The little girl thought she had a nightmare, half asleep and half awake, not very clear, but she vaguely heard Xiaoguai's voice.

There was a demon who wanted to kill her, and Xiaoguai was that demon.

No matter how well-behaved and obedient she is, in the eyes of the brother and sister, she is a devil who will bring misfortune to the family.

The money that Xiaoguai earned from filming movies was exchanged for their house, new clothes, food, toys, etc., and no one had ever considered this.

They felt that they were very generous to take Xiaoguai in.

The first movie was filmed and it became a big hit after it was released.

Xiaoguai really became famous and became a famous "ghost child".

The role she played in the movie was not much different from her real life experience. People also matched the character's personality in the movie with the real her and felt that she was that kind of existence.

The second movie is being prepared, and the adoptive mother's little daughter also participated in the movie, playing an innocent little girl.

Xiaoguai likes the feeling of filming a movie. I can't tell why, maybe because she finally feels that she is valuable.

The crow is always with her.

Under the camera of the movie, Xiaoguai has light in her eyes. She is trying to learn, trying to get in touch with the world, trying to leave some traces.

The name of the second movie is "Monster", a freak.

A strange girl who raises crows.

The movie will tell her experience from birth to death, and the strange entanglement between her and the crow. There is a shot that requires the crow to be injured and die.

Xiaoguai is unwilling to shoot such a shot, even if the crew uses other crows to replace her.

The director is unwilling to change the script, and Xiaoguai's opinion is ignored. The crew just wants to shoot a great work. In order to shoot this work, many crows can die, and no one will care about the life and death of those crows.

Xiaoguai let the crow fly away and never come back.

The crow did hide in the dark. It thought that the crew should use other methods to shoot the movie, such as making very realistic prop crows.

The crew did try, whether it was a manufactured crow, a crow caught from the wild, or a crow bought directly, there was no way to shoot the effect the director wanted.

Those crows are inhumane, not very smart, and they are not close to humans. They are not like the golden-eyed crow, which looks mysterious, noble, and full of stories.

"Actually, there is a way to make the crow come out by itself."

The foster mother's daughter envied Xiaoguai for having a crow. She once thought of luring the crow with food, but the crow didn't buy it. Since then, she has hated the crow as well.

Everyone knows how much Xiaoguai likes the crow. If the crow dies, Xiaoguai will have nothing. Xiaoguai doesn't deserve to have anything. She is just a disgusting monster. How can she have such a smart pet?

"What's the way?" the director asked.

"Attack her, and the crow will come out by itself." The little girl's voice is crisp and sweet, and her tone is very ordinary, as if she didn't say anything vicious.

There is no shortage of such cute little girls in the entertainment industry, but there is only one Monster. She will become the soul of a classic movie, and will even participate in more and more horror movies.

Even if the little girl has the appearance that Xiaoguai envies, she can't replace Xiaoguai.

"It's just attacking her, she won't die..."

"This is to make the movie more realistic. If you want to create a classic, you must make some sacrifices. So many actors can shoot in dangerous environments, why can't she?"

Xiaoguai stared at her sister and couldn't say a word. She just prayed in her heart that Crow would not come out.

Crow can't be caught by these people. These people won't take her life, she is still useful.

"Pa——"

At the director's signal, an actor who played the villain in the crew raised his hand and slapped her.

Xiaoguai fell to the ground, and it was difficult to even cover her face. This feeling of being beaten is not unfamiliar. When she was a child in the welfare home, she would occasionally be beaten by other children.

Later, when the adoptive parents were impatient to shoot videos, they would beat her, smash things or insult her.

She held back her tears and looked at the people around her with hateful eyes.

She hated everyone here.

"One more time." The director signaled.

Just when the villain raised his hand again, Crow finally rushed out from the shadow of the tree, with anger in his golden eyes.

"Ga——"

The director showed a delighted look and made a gesture.

"Bang——"

A gunshot sounded, and a blood flower bloomed in the air.

"No——"

A shrill and hoarse whine sounded, and Xiaoguai crawled to the place where the crow fell. Tears blurred his vision, and he felt that everything in front of him turned blood red.

She brought misfortune to the crow because she wanted to be with humans. If she didn't want to make a movie, the crow would be fine.

"Mom——"

Xiaoguai hurried to find the crow. There were many people around, and she couldn't see clearly. She only heard the cheers of others.

"This shot is really well shot. The despair in the eyes is so explosive."

"If this crow dies, buy some more bird eggs and let her raise it from a young age. She will always be able to develop feelings. When the time comes, raise more, she won't resist so much."

"Mom——"

Xiaoguai finally touched the crow, and the warm blood.

"It's so pitiful, it's dead."

A crisp laugh sounded, and the adoptive mother's daughter spoke with a tone of false pity. She stood in front of Xiaoguai and watched the scene coldly.

"It's unfortunate that the only pet is dead..."

She sighed.

Xiaoguai ignored her, just held the crow in his palm and blew carefully. Tears dripped on the crow's body, and blood bloomed.

"Guai..." The crow whispered, trying to tell Xiaoguai with his eyes that he would not die. Unless a dying animal speaks fluent English, no one will care about what sound it makes.

If it dies in this world, it will only return to the strange fog sea, and then Lin Yebai will find a way to save it.

It had told Xiaoguai before that its death was not real death, but just going home. It would definitely come and take her away from here.

But Xiaoguai has lost her mind. She hates this world, hates everyone, and even hates herself.

Only the crow loves her.

And she killed the crow. She killed the crow. What she hated most was herself. If she had always hidden in the basement, the crow would be fine. She shouldn't yearn for the outside world. Only in the deeper underground could she survive.

Countless times before, people had failed to get rid of resentment, and the tragedy repeated again and again. Countless accumulated resentment and despair surged like a tide and drowned her.

"Mom..."

Xiaoguai curled up into a ball, and the crow was already getting cold.
