The study, master bedroom and side sleeper are all on the second floor, and Jianghuai's room is the side sleeper.

Father Jiang who entered the door did not turn on the light, and walked upstairs in the dark, with firm steps, as if he could see in the dark, and besides his footsteps, there was another person's footsteps overlapping with him, just It was as if he deliberately hid behind him, and made every step of himself match the steps of the person directly in front of him.

The boy yawned in boredom, blinking his eyes like a cat.

Half of Jianghuai is outside the room, and half of his body is inside the room. It stands to reason that the boy heard the car honking from the window, but the room is well insulated, so he doesn't know what happened on the first floor.

The boy raised his eyebrows, threw the document on the ground, then opened the door and walked towards the stairs.

After he closed the door, the lights in the study went out again.

to be frank……

His steps down the stairs were a little too cheerful.

Jianghuai followed slowly, feeling a little complicated.

First, I suddenly knew that I had seen a doctor when I was a child, and then I had to meet my father who had been dead for six years... This father should still appear in the appearance of a ghost, and he became a ghost because his consciousness was distorted like this... There is always A premonition that if you dream at night, you will be scolded for being unfilial.

When the boy stepped on the floor of the first floor, the lights suddenly turned on, and the entire first floor was dazzlingly bright, with warm yellow light filling the entire living room.

A man with a slightly tired face stood beside the sofa with his jacket halfway off. He didn't seem surprised that the light was on, but heard the voice behind him and noticed the boy's head down. He raised an eyebrow and subconsciously showed a gentle smile .

The boy crossed his arms and remained silent.

Jiang Huai was also silent.

Jiang Huai looks a lot like this man, but his appearance is more mature.

He is tall, and everything he wears should be a clothes hanger. When he smiles, the gentle and sly temperament is particularly prominent. When you look at him when you are not smiling, you will feel that you are very close to him, probably because Those amber eyes are so outstanding, when you look at him, there will be an unreasonable sense of intimacy.

...Maybe it's the kind of beautiful cat that anyone can pet on the street but doesn't want to go home with you.

That's all, it's normal.

But under the light, the whole living room is not right.

There are three lights in the living room that are turned on, so the man has shadows in three directions, light and deep, big and small, the largest shadow is reflected on the wall, his head is against the ceiling, the lightest shadow is almost the same color as the light, Just a shallow mold on the sofa.

During this period of time, Jiang's father was 42 years old, but he couldn't tell by looking at his face at all. When strangers saw him at first glance, they thought he was less than thirty. Jiang's father was also very distressed. In Jianghuai's impression, He often wears dark suits.

Jiang Huai knew that there was something wrong with those shadows, but he didn't pay attention to it for the time being. He just stared at his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time with nostalgic and regretful eyes... After a while, he asked the system: "Is the cause of my parents' death normal?"

[There is no abnormality. 】

Jiang Huai didn't speak anymore, but Jiang's father had already walked over and squatted in front of the boy——

As he walked, there was a sound of footsteps, not just two, but four... a man and his three shadows?

"Son?" he said, "Why aren't you asleep at this hour?"

The boy was still wearing the human leather shoulder armor, and his forehead was stained with blood, but Jiang's father ignored it. He touched the boy's head, and he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the boy's silence. He sat on his arm, and the two went upstairs, but Jiang's father's tone was softer: "Have you had dinner? Are you hungry? Isn't your Aunt Wang here?"

Not here, Aunt Wang was dismembered, and part of her body was being draped over her shoulders by this man.

After Jiang's father went upstairs, the light in the corridor was also on. Jiang Huai noticed that the light in the living room on the first floor had not been turned off. Therefore, under the illumination of more lights, the number of shadows under the other party's feet changed all the time—and the sound of footsteps also More often than not.

Jiang Huai sighed.

This year, it seemed that Jiang's father had a business problem. In short, he became busier, and often he could only visit Jiang Huai after he fell asleep.

——The car was put into the garage, and then the door was carefully pushed open, and the light from outside came in. A figure stood by the door, looked this way twice, seemed to think that Jiang Huai had fallen asleep, and closed the door again.During this period, the opponent's shadow was imprinted on the wall, shaking with his movements, the room was dark, and the door representing light opened and closed several times... When he was a child, Jiang Huai's deepest impression of his father was probably these .

Father Jiang is one with the shadow in his memory, sometimes one, sometimes many, that's why he created the current image of "Jiang Father" in this dungeon.

Father Jiang held the boy with his right hand around his neck, took out his long nails from his cuff, and quietly gestured at the back of his neck, as if he was thinking about the fastest way to do it. Then, he said blankly Raising his arm, the black shadow directly behind suddenly bent, and the black shadow swept away the nails in the boy's hand. He froze for a moment, then retracted his hand again.

But Father Jiang pushed open the bedroom door, and the moment he pushed the door, the room lights turned on again.

Now the side sleeper, the living room, and the hallway are all brightly lit.

He put the boy on the bed, touched his belly, and the other party moaned dissatisfiedly, so the father smiled and said, "Is Aunt Wang asking for leave? Well, let me steam an egg for you. "

The boy didn't respond, so he took it as his son's acquiescence, and went out——

He just forgot to take his own shadow away.

The two shadows, one tall and one thin, stood by the bed helplessly, staring at the boy, Jiang Huai was sure that if he had such a past when he was a child, he would definitely have nightmares.

The boy didn't respond. He showed a lack of interest, took out a nail to play with, and then... was suddenly confiscated by the shadow.

He was taken aback for a moment, and said speechlessly: "Are you afraid that I will be scratched?"

Jiang Huai was not by his side at this time, but followed Father Jiang downstairs.

Although he knew that this was not real, but just a phantom of the past, he left the boy behind, let the system stare at him, and followed Father Jiang.

The kitchen quickly became lively. The other party did steam an egg first, and then cooked noodles for himself. He seemed to be hesitating about what to do with the beef, but finally gave up. People forget that this is still a copy.

——However, the system is reporting the boy's actions in a disappointing manner.

【He went to the master bedroom, the shadow followed him】

[Turned out the photos in the drawer, and saw the group photo of your family of three]

【He turned off the light in the master bedroom, and now he is fighting the bats that are jumping from above his head... Ah, he didn't fight them, but lured them to attack each other with the shadow, and successfully tested it out: the shadow will help him attack other creatures. 】

【He smiled and said, "I'm starting to like you guys."】

Jiang's father finished the work in the kitchen, turned off the fire first, and went upstairs with the custard in his hands. When he opened the door of the side bedroom, the boy also opened the door of the master bedroom and slipped to the first floor.

There were neatly stacked corpses in the cupboard. He opened it for a glance, yawned and closed it casually. As he approached, dense eyes drilled out from the corner of the wine cabinet, squeezing the glass to look at the child in front of him. The boy took a cursory glance, trotted to the sofa, and picked up the suit Jiang's father had left on the sofa.

He managed to get his phone and car keys out of his suit pocket.

Jiang Huai was thoughtful.

"However, there is no way to leave here by driving..."

After all, the whole map is so big, if you drive out, you will eventually return to the villa, like a ghost hitting a wall.

And can such a height really drive?

"As for the phone, it should have a fingerprint lock?"

Upstairs, Jiang's father put the custard on the bedside table, walked around the bedroom, and knocked on the bathroom door. There was a chaotic muffled sound from inside the bathroom. It was obvious that the two of them were still alive and kicking, but I don't know if it was Both are alive.

Father Jiang frowned, and slowly opened the bathroom door——

Jiang Huai was a little curious about how he would react.

As a result, he saw the thief wrestling with the hands on the ground. The thief's face was pale, and he was almost turning into a zombie. With shock in his pupils, he slammed the door shut and went downstairs immediately: "Huaihuai , Huaihuai—”

At this moment, the boy found that he couldn't unlock it, and was sitting on the sofa playing with the phone when the screen of the phone in his hand suddenly lit up.

It's a newsletter from "Muning".

Jiang Huai was slightly taken aback.

Although anything could have happened in the past, he certainly didn't know if Mu Ning had called Father Jiang at this point in the past, because he was already sound asleep at that time.

With a flick of his finger, the boy successfully connected the phone.

- Even if the phone is locked, calls are not restricted.

On the other side, Jiang's father also saw his son sitting on the sofa, heaved a sigh of relief, and noticed that his son answered his phone.

Sitting next to the boy, Jiang Huai heard Mu Ning's voice: "Jiang..."

The boy interrupted her, saying, "Mom!"

Mu Ning's next words were obviously stuck in his throat.

Father Jiang's footsteps also stopped, his expression was strange, he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

Jiang Huai looked at his complicated face, then at the boy's expressionless face, and really wanted to say to his young father, "Can you stop thinking about it?"

The director of the garden just doesn't let go of any opportunity to explore this world in depth, let alone calling him "Mom", he can probably call Mu Ning Dad "Dad".

Jiang's father stepped forward, as if he wanted to hold his "son" in his arms, but his "son" said to the other end of the phone while the phone was still on, "Mom, I'm so scared, can you come and see me?" ?”

Jianghuai: "..."

Come to send you a double kill?

The knife in the boy's pocket was still smelling of blood, but Jiang Huai pressed his forehead helplessly, feeling that the plot had been distorted out of shape.

After all, what was he doing when he was five years old?He has no memory of it.

But at that time, he and Mu Ning didn't know each other very well. He just knew that this woman might become his mother in the future, but Mu Ning seldom went to and from Jiang's house. to the stage of marriage and childbirth.

So he made sure he never called her "Mom" during this period of time, and Jiang Shilin never taught him that.

The woman on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and quickly agreed.

Father Jiang frowned, and his shadow flew over quickly, as if he wanted to take the phone away from the boy's hand, but the boy jumped off the sofa and threw himself into Father Jiang's arms——

He successfully used this method to avoid the phone being taken away.

Jiang's father obviously didn't want Mu Ning to come over, because it was already very late, and his complexion changed, but he didn't forcefully snatch the boy, but chose to talk to him: "Huaihuai, can I give the phone to Dad?"

The boy gave him a cold look.

"Dad needs to call the police."

Jiang Huai saw the boy's eyes light up.

Jianghuai: "..."

To call the police to take away the thief in the bathroom?But the thief is not a real person at all.

Is there really this part of the plot?

The system stuttered for a while, and said to him:

[If there is a change in the plot, it will develop according to your memory and certain rules, more precisely, it is the memory of your childhood period. 】

But the problem is that Jiang Huai doesn't know anything about what happened at that time... It seems that Mu Ning married Jiang Shilin soon, and then this summer passed, and he lived a family of three again.

The nanny was fired, Uncle Yu went to the branch office, the whole world was running normally, and this day seemed to be just an ordinary summer day, no different from every day.

Father Jiang successfully dialed the phone and drove the boy to eat egg custard, but from an angle that the boy couldn't see, he stared at his son with a loving and distressed expression, and he didn't know what he had imagined.

Jiang Huai: "..." Sober up!

He had used up his allotment of sighs for a whole year, and he actually felt a little dumbfounded.

At this time, Jiang's father probably felt that "Jiang Huai" was eager for maternal love, but he didn't know that his well-behaved son had just completed the triple kill. It's fate to be killed if you come here, okay?

The boy was scraping the custard from the bottom of the bowl with a small spoon, his expression was still as serious as ever, while Jiang Huai was sitting opposite him, holding his chin silently - it was actually quite strange to see himself eating when he was a child.

Rather, even knowing that their purpose had failed, he still didn't exit the dungeon to do other things, because he was a little surprised by the passing route made by the boy, and even wanted to stay and see, what else could the other party do?For example, what will happen to Mu Ning and the police who are coming next?

——After all, there are no normal people in the instance.

What did he think of the police uncle and "the woman who will become his stepmother in the future" when he was a child?

Did he ever hate Mu Ning?These memories are too long, as light as bubbles, as if they never existed.

Jiang Shilin rolled up his cuffs, sat next to Jiang Huai, and the boy was eating noodles diagonally across from him. After seeing the boy glanced twice, he went to serve his son a small bowl to satisfy his gluttony—then Jiang Huai watched helplessly as the other party finished eating the noodles, and returned Drank all the soup.

"...Do you hope the food in the amusement park is not delicious?" Jiang Huai muttered casually, lying on the table, looking at the two people, then at the door, and suddenly sat up straight, "The police are here."

The police arrived before Mu Ning.

And Jiang's father also heard the siren, probably because he was worried that his son would be afraid. He first let his son sit on the sofa, hugged him, and then walked to the door before the knock on the door. When he opened the door, Jiang Huai also looked at him. What does the police look like in this world.

two rabbits.

The police are two two-meter-tall rabbits walking upright!

The rabbit's three-petal mouth moved, and its head was at least three times the size of Jiang Shilin's, just like those common people in amusement parks wearing doll headgear, Jiang Shilin nodded, as if he understood what they were saying, Said: "Please come with me."

When he turned his head, he found that his son who was supposed to be sitting on the sofa was at his feet. Smiling: "Yes, this is my son."

Jianghuai guessed that the rabbit should be boasting [Is your son?So cute. ]

When Jiang Huai was praised, Jiang's father was always full of energy and confidently said "my son is so cute", without even thinking that the other party might just be polite.

Father Jiang took them to the door but didn't go in. Jiang Huai was taken aback and noticed that he carried his son to the master bedroom and covered the boy's eyes.

After a while, two huge rabbits carried the inhuman "thief" away from the villa, and when he was sure that they were gone, Jiang's father let go, chatted with the police on his mobile phone, and thanked them for their work.

It looks like the rabbit is a normal policeman?

The boy obviously wanted to keep up, and was a little depressed because nothing happened. He struggled to jump down from his father's arms and went to the window, while the police car stopped at the door. ...

The two rabbit policemen put the thief flat on the ground, and Jianghuai was the closest to them. They watched helplessly as the "rabbit" opened its mouth, and then opened it again. The sharp teeth gleamed under the light of the car lights, and then, it was almost like a basketball. The big mouth bit the "thief".

They divide the thieves.

Jiang Huai was silent for a while.

He pressed his brows together, and really couldn't think of why he thought of the "police" in such a way. There should be some metaphors in it, but after all, he couldn't think of everything.

... Well, it's not surprising that this world is full of ghosts.

After dealing with the people, the two rabbits got into the car happily, and picked their teeth in a very humane manner. Then, the police car drove into the vast night.

Jiang Huai stared at them with dark eyes.

He took a half step back and teleported directly to the second floor. The boy on the second floor didn't know if he could see the scene clearly under the headlights. He frowned slightly and said, "Rabbit."

Is there anything weird about rabbits?

But he didn't continue talking, just raised his head, as if discussing with someone, and grinned: "Do you like rabbits too?"

Jiang Huai was convinced that he was trying to talk to himself.

"From today onwards," Jiang Huai said, although the boy couldn't hear him, "I decided not to like it anymore."

The boy didn't get a response and didn't seem too disappointed.

Jiang's father came over and took the boy lying on the window back, and said, "Huaihuai, do you want to sleep with Dad today?"

He was probably worried that his son would have nightmares when he encountered such a horrible incident as "the burglar was hiding under his bed", but he didn't know that his "son" was now the most terrifying nightmare in the world. Walking around, twice as many shadows as before are also moving.

Jiang Huai only glanced casually, and found that there were two shadows at the head of the bed lying on the side, staring at the empty bed. There were two shadows in the living room on the first floor, one standing in the kitchen, one standing by the sofa, and the master bedroom There was a shadow sitting on the chair. Although it had no face, Jiang Huai felt that it was staring at the father and son, and there were eight shadows under Father Jiang's feet——

It seems that there are more lights and more shadows.

Pointy rabbit ears can still be vaguely seen in two of the shadows, and the boy noticed this too.

The two shadows appear to have been created by "the headlights of a police car."

"Father's strange shadow is related to the light. As long as there is a new light, a new shadow will be formed... But the shadow generated this time is very similar to those two rabbit policemen." Jiang Huai frowned, "That feeling... …It’s as if he gets close to a stranger and is affected by the stranger.”

The boy was hugged with one hand while maintaining a dead fish-eyed expression. He also noticed it, and said in a low voice, "It must be the embodiment of the past."

Jiang Huai narrowed his eyes: "The past..."

He returned to the side sleeper, and noticed that the shadow on the side bed was rising and falling, as if there were two people standing there, one big and one small.

Father Jiang seems to leave past memories wherever he goes, but the shape of his memories is "realized shadows", and these shadows also have basic mobility.

Jiang Huai was stunned, shuttled back and forth in the villa, sighed for a while, "Dad, does he... feel very lonely?"

Although those shadows are terrifying, and the overlapping footsteps are also terrifying, but if you ignore the horrible atmosphere, you will feel that the whole house is filled, and it becomes both silent and lively.

Jiang Huai stretched out his hand, and his fingers passed between the eyebrows of the man who was coaxing the boy to sleep.

It must be feeling lonely... The huge house, his wife passed away, and his son went to bed early when he came back every day. The young Jiang Huai couldn't accurately describe the feeling, but he remembered the feeling when he was with a man.

Many years later, JAC reproduced that feeling in the copy.

He turned his head away, and noticed that the boy was still holding his eyes open and not wanting to sleep, and his little hands were moving around under the quilt. It was hard not to wonder if he was touching a knife or nails, and expected to make a cut without Father Jiang not paying attention.

No matter how many complex emotions Jiang Huai had, he was wiped out by this guy. He sat on the other side of the bed and looked at this weird "father is kind and son is filial piety" with a dumbfounding mood.

Until Jiang Shilin's cell phone rang again.

And the system is confused:

[Your stepmother has arrived. 】
