black mist

It has to be said that Tongtong has a very precise grasp of Wen Yan's psychology - after experiencing all this, Wen Yan really has no way to refuse the temptation of the truth.He has been tossing around in this strange world of Jinghu for so long, and there is a younger brother who obviously has problems in front of him. If he is not curious, it must be fake.

Seeing Wen Yan moved, Tong Tong took the lead to walk towards the small square next to the hospital, Wen Yan hesitated for a while, and chose to follow him.There is a circle of shops around this small square, which can be regarded as one of the busiest places in Chunxia Town. On weekdays, there are many people doing activities around here, but now, the empty square is deserted.

There is a circle of seats for passers-by to rest on the outermost edge of the small square. Tongtong randomly picked one of them to sit down, and waved to Wen Yan who was following behind: "Brother, sit here."

Wen Yan stood a few steps away and stared at Tongtong for a while, then finally walked over and sat down beside him.

In fact, Wen Yan is quite angry now, and he is not without temper. Besides, who would not be angry when encountering such a thing?It's just that the situation is still unclear, so I'm still suppressing my anger.

Tongtong is at a loss now, even though he thinks his brother's sulking look is cute, he doesn't dare to tease her too much.

He cleared his throat: "I'm ready, brother ask."

Wen Yan pursed his lips, he was indeed full of doubts, but now Tongtong opened up for him to ask casually, but he didn't know where to start.

After being silent for a while, Wen Yan slowly opened his mouth: "... When did you replace Jian Tong?"

"Replacement?" Tongtong blinked and smiled, "That's not the case, Jiantong has always been me."

"Jian Tong, I mean Aunt Jian's child Jian Tong, where is he now? Does he... really exist?" Wen Yan is very smart and quick to respond. Tong Tong said that Jian Tong has always been him, Wen Yan Yan immediately thought of - that Aunt Jian's child, who came to Chunxia Town with Aunt Jian, Wen Yan's real stepbrother, does it really exist?

Sure enough, Jian Tong shook her head: "My mother... No, it should be said that although Aunt Jian is married twice, she has no children under her knees."

Wen Yan didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief, thankful that there was no other brother wrapped up in their relationship.

Indeed, Aunt Jian married to Chunxia Town alone, "Jian Tong" does not need to have a past in Chunxia Town, and no one will doubt him. He can integrate into this place logically, and it is indeed the most suitable for fraud identity.

Wen Yan said: "So, Jian Tong didn't exist from the beginning, right?"

"You can put it this way, Jiantong was born for you." Tongtong looked at Wen Yan steadfastly, her amber eyes filled with bits and pieces of light.

Wen Yan's breath was stagnant, and he looked away awkwardly: "Why do you say that?"

"Because," Tongtong smiled slyly, and leaned into Wenyan's ear and said, "I became Jiantong in order to get close to my brother."

As if to ease the embarrassment, Wen Yan leaned back, distanced herself from the approaching Tongtong, and quickly asked the next question: "Did you know from the beginning that you were the will of Jinghu?"

Deception exists objectively, but Wen Yan still cares very much about whether Jian Tong did it intentionally or not, and Wen Yan's heart is completely different between doing it intentionally and being forced to do it.

But he didn't seem to think about it carefully. If he only regarded Jian Tong as his younger brother, it should be a happy thing for everyone - he and Jinghu's will knew each other, and it can even be said that the relationship was not bad, so he was not required to seek Jinghu's will The trouble of helping him successfully opened his way to leave Jinghu.

Faced with such a situation, he is still unhappy, he doesn't seem to be what he thinks - he only regards Jian Tong as his younger brother.

He cared more about Jian Tong than an older brother should for a younger brother.

"Brother, do you know what Jinghu's will is?" Tongtong didn't answer Wen Yan's question directly, but told him about the origin of Jinghu's will.

Tongtong waved his hand towards the vending machine not far away, and two bottles of iced Coke appeared in his hands out of thin air. He handed one of the bottles to Wen Yan and said, "I am the master of Jinghu, and I rule over Jinghu. Everything in the lake, including flowers, plants, trees, and time and space, all follow my thoughts. But in the beginning, I was nothing more than a collection of negative energies accumulated over the years in the mirror lake. Until one day, the negative energies surpassed The carrying capacity of Jinghu Lake is enough to trigger a qualitative change, and this is how I was born."

"Brother, have you ever seen the mud at the bottom of the lake? I'm not much cleaner than that thing. Everything has a spirit, even the filthy filth can give birth to spiritual wisdom. In the past, my favorite thing was the negative emotions produced by human beings. Things can make me grow stronger quickly. I had nothing at that time, and my desire for power was engraved in my bones, and it was an innate desire..."

Tongtong swallowed the last words, but Wen Yan heard his unfinished meaning: Because of the desire for power, Jinghu began to frantically devour people with extreme emotions like Zhang Hezhong and Bai Yifeng, and opened a long-standing Ten years of disappearance in Mirror Lake.

Under Wen Yan's watchful eye, Tongtong Shi Shiran skipped the end of the previous topic, and started the next topic smoothly: "...I don't even remember how many years I have sunk in the chaos, time... Time didn't make sense until I met you."

Speaking of this, Tongtong suddenly smiled: "We met a long, long time ago, but brother probably doesn't remember anymore..."

Wen Yan glanced at Tongtong in surprise, completely unexpected that there would be such a development: "Is there?" In his memory, there is no child who matches Tongtong's name.

"Yes," Tongtong nodded solemnly, "At that time, I had just transformed into a form, and my strength was still very weak. I always lost more than I won when fighting with the wild monsters next door. I still remember the first time we met. At that time, I just lost a fight and was walking back in embarrassment. I happened to meet my brother after school, and there were many, many people on the road. That was the first time I appeared in front of human beings in the form of a human being. Before that In my eyes, human beings are just weak food reserves, not worth paying attention to at all...But when I am watched by a group of human cubs, I still feel a little nervous." Tongtong was a little embarrassed, "It's a shame."

Although Wen Yan didn't remember this incident at all, he was still aroused by Tongtong's description: "And then?"

"My brother helped me at that time and gave me a name. The name 'Tongtong' was given by my brother." Jian Tong unscrewed the Coke in his hand, moistened his throat, and sneaked a look at it pretending to be casual. Yan glanced at him and saw that his expression was not as conflicted as before, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry," because I felt that this was a meaningful event for Tongtong, but I completely forgot about it, Wen Yan was questioned by his conscience, and suddenly he was a little hesitant, "I don't have any impression."

"It's okay," Tongtong waved his hand generously, "I was so humble when I was young, it's normal for you not to have an impression." After speaking, he hesitated, and looked at Wen Yan with a little anxiety, "I have been paying attention to my brother , from elementary school to high school graduation..."

Wen Yan was surprised: "Why have I never seen you?"

"I paid attention secretly, but you didn't find out." Tongtong paused, "More than ten years ago, a wandering warlock sealed Jinghu, and I was also subject to many restrictions. I can no longer appear in your human form. in front of."

Although Jianwenyan was surprised, there was no obvious disgust on his face, so Tongtong continued: "From time to time, I think, how can I be worthy of you? I am not as cute as a girl, and even human beings No... For a long time after I met you, I kept thinking how nice it would be if I were a human being, but unfortunately I am not. My brother left Chunxia Town after graduating from high school and rarely came back, but I Trapped here, do you still remember that Zhou Wen who wrote you a love letter in high school?"

Zhou Wen is Wen Yan's high school classmate, so he naturally remembers: "I remember, what's wrong?"

"She chased you and went to the city where your university is located, but I can't do anything but wait here foolishly for you who don't know if you will come back."

"I don't know about this," Wen Yan said dumbly, "Tongtong..."

"Brother, listen to me..." Tongtong interrupted Wen Yan with a smile, "Let me finish first, I may not have the courage to say it a second time."

Wen Yan: "...OK."

"Not long ago, Guo Xiaopang followed a group of classmates to the back mountain to play a game of courage. By chance, he opened the seal left by the wandering warlock, and I had a chance to escape." Yan, "That seal is very powerful. In order to escape the seal, I divided myself into two. One is me who stayed in the mirror lake, and the other is Jian Tong who lost all memories and came to you as a stepbrother. So I am indeed the will of Jinghu, but I have never lied to you. The one who was with you didn’t remember everything until yesterday when I met me at the door of the house. We...or I, never lied to you .”

"Since you are the will of Jinghu, why did all the ghosts target you who was by my side at that time?" Wen Yan couldn't help asking the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time. Confusion in the bottom of my heart.

"I did it on purpose, I aimed at him." Tongtong puffed his cheeks and said angrily, "I hate the other I can stay by your side, so I made up my mind to embody what he fears the most to scare him , I can do it."

Wen Yan rarely wanted to laugh: "Aren't you afraid when you make it out?"

"I didn't look at it, I told them to go far away." Tongtong glanced at Wenyan, and said in self-defeating, "But I did do a lot of things to please you, I tried to get rid of all the negative things in me, Things you don't like, practicing the best curve of your smile in front of the mirror over and over again, and pretending to be your younger brother in order to get close to you..."

When Tongtong was talking about this, Jian Tong in his mind was protesting frantically, but was brutally suppressed by Tongtong again.

Following Tongtong's description, Wen Yan found that many things that were difficult to understand before were finally strung together into a complete line at this moment——

Why did Jian Tong show such fear at the beginning, but she could explode with amazing power in the warehouse?That's because he was originally the will of Jinghu, but he just lost his memory.

Why did Jiantong act so deliberately after meeting Jinghu's will?Because he remembered his true identity.

Jian Tong is not short-sighted, it is impossible for him to pull Wen Yan's hand and tell him immediately after thinking of everything: "Brother, I remembered, I am the biggest boss in this place, I can take you out of this place."

Jian Tong cared about him and wanted to find a way that he could accept to tell him everything, that's why Jian Tong was so entangled and acted so deliberately at that time.

Perhaps it was because he had figured this out, or maybe it was because Tongtong sat here and told him the truth without reservation.

At this moment, Wen Yan didn't seem to be so angry at Jian Tong's previous deception.
