EKG Life's Mask

I... just died like this?

I always feel that death is not such a thing to be afraid of. On the contrary, like now, it is nothingness, as if I don’t even know what state I am in, but it makes people feel more comfortable.

It's soft, and there's a blank in the head. I can't see anything, I can't hear anything. The only thing I can feel is the feeling as if I'm in the clouds...

"……Tell……"

What?It seems that there is a sound coming from a very far away place. I can't hear it clearly, but I can't help but want to hear it clearly.That voice always felt as if I had heard it somewhere before.

Where have you heard it?I don't know... I'm familiar with it, but I can't remember it. Speaking of which, who am I?Why are you here now?Am I really dead?

I want to listen carefully to what I heard in my ears, what happened in a place I don't know, and then, on the top of my head, I always feel as if there is a light shining...

I opened my eyes, and in front of me, a small, warm light like the sun shone on my eyes.what is that?I obviously don't know it, but I can't help but want to touch it... Then I always feel that there is something in that place that I don't want to abandon no matter what...

"what!"

Just when I thought I was about to catch the light, the surrounding suddenly turned into an unknown cave.Above the head is a small hole the size of a rice bowl through which sunlight shines in.Following the sunlight, there are also drops of crystal water drops.One drop, two drops, dripping continuously, as if counting the passage of time...

I turned my head and looked aside, there was a person sitting quietly in a dark corner.On the wall, black iron chains ran through his hands and feet, as if to ensure that he would never leave. At the top of the iron chains, there were no loops, but nails directly into his flesh and blood. nails...

So cruel... At that moment, I had such a feeling.But at this time, he seemed to not care about his situation at all.Then, even though he didn't even know who this person was in his head, he could still vaguely feel the pain coming from his heart.

Why?I will feel heartache?Why do I feel so uncomfortable seeing such a scene with someone I don't even know?

"Hey! Who are you? Why are you here? Then, I don't have any nails on my body, why do I feel so much pain?"

But for my question, he didn't seem to hear it at all, just quietly, still sitting so quietly.

"Guru..."

A heavy stone door opened behind me.I quickly looked back.When was there an extra stone door behind him?Then, how did you open it?But for these, I don't want to do more research.

Outside the door, a man in black, with long straight black hair hanging over his shoulders, walked in.Should I just hide?No matter who it is, if someone suddenly appears in your home, you will definitely feel strange, won't you?

With this in mind, I walked aside, but it seemed too late to hide at this time.

"Sorry! I don't know why I'm here. I was still sleeping until not long ago, but when I woke up..."

I explained this to the man in black who came in.But he didn't seem to hear my words at all, and then, as if he couldn't see me at all, he walked towards me directly.

I stepped back in shock to avoid being hit by him, but he didn't say a word about these.

"Tell you good news, but it may be bad news for you!"

Saying so, the man who came in from the outside said to the man who was being chained to the wall at this moment.But the man, as if he didn't hear it, still just lowered his head.

"Your precious Chi Yue is already dead."

"Eh?"

Not from the man's voice, but from my throat.Why should I be surprised?They shouldn't be talking about me, but why, now I feel like I've been taken aback?

"Ding ding ding dong..."

The man slowly raised his head, even shaking his body a little bit, the iron chain made a sound that seemed to have never sounded before...

"What did you say?"

Still calm, the man nailed to the wall slowly raised his head.

"Isn't that clear enough? Your baby, Chi Yue, is dead. How is it? Are you surprised enough to hear the news? For so many days, no matter what you do to you, it seems that you are showing such an expression for the first time." look!"

"Can you say that again?"

Full distrust was conveyed from that man's voice, but just the trembling of this voice made me feel very uncomfortable.I stretched out my hand to caress my chest, it wasn't a very direct pain, but it seemed to be twitching...

"What? You don't believe it? It's true! As an onmyoji, he released demons privately, and in the end he even degenerated into a demon. The village chief sentenced him to the stake soon after he found out. His brother, even There was no chance to stop him. In the end, he could only watch his younger brother being burned by the raging fire. In order to help him reduce the pain, he went up and used the demon-slaying knife to pierce his heart..."

"You bullshit!"

There was a loud sound from the collision of the iron chains, and the man nailed to the corner was so excited that he almost wanted to rush up, but he couldn't.

"it is true!"

Saying so, the man in black waved his hand towards the empty air, and an image appeared in midair.Above, a man who looked exactly like me was wailing because of the flames, until the wailing gradually subsided, and a man in white walked up to the altar, and he was finally relieved.

"This is……"

I suddenly felt that I also felt the burning sensation and pain of the burning flames, and my body couldn't help but tremble. When I realized it, my body had unconsciously fallen to the ground.

"Impossible, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Shouting like this, the man nailed to the corner roared even more violently, and the sound of the iron chain hitting was even more intense, and one couldn't help but want to cover his ears.Drops of blood dripped to the ground from his hands, feet, shoulders, and nails touched by the strong shaking, but he seemed to have never had these things before.

"Impossible, Chi Yue...impossible!"

"I knew you didn't believe me."

Saying so, the man in black reached out and took out a half-burned heart from his arms.

"This is something that was taken out together with the drawn knife. It's impossible for you not to know his smell!"

"Eh..."

There was a sudden strong beating in the heart. This time, it wasn't the false pain as if it didn't exist, but it was real and came directly from inside.It was pierced, torn, and then, just like that, a hole was opened.That's... my heart...
