parasitic son

As soon as the door of Teacher Li's house was opened, a smell of meat wafted out.

Xiaozhen sniffed it, it smells so good, he thought.It seems like sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Yan Zhen?" Teacher Li said, at the moment he is a bit funny in Xiao Zhen's eyes.He is no longer the well-dressed teacher in class, but is wearing an apron with a cartoon chicken pattern on his upper body, and bear slippers on his feet.His face is still very serious, with the chick apron on his body, very weird.

"Yan Zhen, what's the matter with you?"

"Mr. Li, I have something I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Teacher Li stood at the door, showing no intention of letting him in.

"Teacher, has your dog ever picked up a frog?"

After Xiaozhen finished saying this, Teacher Li's expression froze immediately.

In the blink of an eye, Xiaozhen's invisible tentacles of consciousness immediately penetrated into his brain.Different from the previous simple exploration of the shallow consciousness, this is to use questions to directly enter the depths of his consciousness.People always have a lot of secrets they want to hide, and their subconscious defenses are thick and hard.Finding a breakthrough and cutting straight in is like finding the moment to jump into hot lava beneath a suddenly cracked crust.In fact, spying on the deep consciousness is an extremely uncomfortable thing, because whether it is aware of it or not, intelligent creatures will instinctively resist interference from the outside world.Xiaozhen felt that his senses seemed to be dragged by a speeding train all the way, and the street lights on both sides of the railroad track kept flickering brightly and darkly.

After a frantic gallop, the train finally slowed down.

Then, Xiaozhen felt a bone-chilling cold.Deep in the consciousness of the arrival of the train is the sky full of ice, snow and frost, and the vast endless night.He knew that this was the reflection of this man's heart, a pain that could devour his soul.After that pain, it was his endless remorse and self-blame.

Clear heart-like images unfold in the snow and ice.

On a lush green hill, a woman gently took Teacher Li's hand.

White cloth, crimson dried blood, doctors, corpses being pushed away.

The puppy I took over from brother Sheng.

The puppy has black bean-like eyes and will rub his legs back and forth and wag its tail.

The puppy who ran in from the small door put a flat frog beside him.

This is the beginning of all mutations.

In the intense sensory storm, that monster appeared in Xiaozhen's mind.

What looked like a frog began to swell.It is growing, and it keeps growing.The smooth skin begins to tear and fall off.

A vague figure emerged from the skin, but it was definitely not a human limb.Its body proportions are somewhat close to those of a naked ape, but it has six limbs, four legs supporting the body, two nimble upper limbs flanking the shoulders, and its tail is covered with scales.Its face is tight, with a pair of orchid eyes, which are changing in different colors in the ice and snow.

It opened its mouth, bared its sharp teeth, and let out a horrible hiss.

Its form seems to distort physical reality, like an alien creation from the ancient past.

At the moment when he saw this alien monster, Xiaozhen stopped all of Teacher Li's consciousness.

Like flipping a switch, Teacher Li fell into a state of stasis.He still kept watching Xiaozhen, but at this moment his sea of ​​consciousness was still, his body was motionless, like a breathing statue.Mr. Mao once did this to Song Jiarui, who was still a human, and Xiao Zhen also did it at Ren Anzhi's concert.A brief moment of stillness leaves no trace on them, as if a fragment of time had suddenly been skipped.

Xiao Zhen bypassed the stagnant Teacher Li and walked into the room.

The puppy Simba rushed out, and when he saw Teacher Li like this, he immediately barked at Xiao Zhen.Xiaozhen gave him an order to keep it quiet.

And that alien monster stood in the middle of the room, just like the posture that Xiao Zhen saw in Teacher Li's mind.

It is looking at him.

(What did you do to him!!!) Its mind screamed.

It hissed and howled at him, maddened like the roar of a predator.

(what did you do to him!!!)

It lunged at him.Xiaozhen raised his hand, ready to use a mental command to quiet the monster.But then, Xiaozhen's eyes widened.

The figure rushing towards him was no longer the alien.

It, no, it was him.

It's him.

The man in front of him has dark curly hair, slightly raised eyebrows, black jade-like eyes, sharp and clear, and his gaze pierces through him like a blade.

This is the appearance he sees in the mirror every day, this is the appearance that is exactly the same as his flesh and blood body, this is the mystery that has always been in his heart, this is his host, this is his...

He is Yan Zhen.

"...Yan Zhen?"

……

Consciousness was instantly dragged into the storm, and Xiao Zhen's vision began to blur.

It was just a hesitation, a distraction between thoughts.

But it was enough for the Prince Herak to restrain him in seconds and throw him into a spiritual cage.

Being countered is not a happy thing.Xiaozhen found himself standing in a cabin.

A sight he had experienced in the past.

(What's wrong with you?) Mr. Cat's voice came into his mind.

(Something went wrong. But I'll fix it in a minute.) Zhen replied.

He quickly made a judgment. Although the Heraks can't control the spirit, they can use a mechanism similar to the spirit link to reflect the fear in people's hearts.And the stronger the mental power of the opponent, the more terrifying this refraction will be.In a sense, the Heraks can be called the nemesis of the Mind Eater.

It was indeed my own mistake to be able to be restrained by this kind of refraction.Faced with the dilemma caused by this kind of mistake, of course, he can only solve it by himself.

Some deformed creatures rushed towards him from all sides of the cabin.They were the products of unnatural and pathological experiments. Xiaozhen took a look at them, and a sword floated out of his hand.The creatures writhed, mutated into disgustingly deformed faces, and grew gnarled limbs.Xiao Zhen swung his sword and drew silver arcs of light, cutting the deformed creatures close to him into pieces.Every time he swung his sword, countless wailing voices would pour into his ears, shouting his name.

A creature stretched out a mutated hand and grabbed Xiao Zhen's leg, "Help me, save me..."

That's an alien Homo sapiens.A friend from the past.his subordinates.his brother.

He looked up at him, red tears streaming from his eyes. "My lord, help me..."

His face was just like how he remembered him.He begged and cried.

I am sorry.

Xiaozhen shook his head.

"You are just an illusion of the past."

He cut off his head with a sword.His head rolled on the ground, his limbs were still writhing, blood dripping slickly across the deck.

(Do you need my assistance?) Mr. Cat asked consciously.

(unnecessary.)

The sword light flickered, beheading everything it saw.

Xiao Zhen stepped on the pile of flesh and blood corpses, and his crying and wailing turned into dull echoes.He put away the sword and urged the flame with his mind, the blue energy lightning crackled in his hand, turned into an electric arc and exploded in all directions, burning all the creatures around him.

In the continuous neighing and cracking sound, the flames engulfed the cabin, and the entire mental world began to collapse.

Xiaozhen didn't move, it was just an illusion brought by consciousness.Even if you stay in the world of mind image for dozens of days, it may only be a few seconds to the outside world.

Mr. Li's home was clearly displayed in front of his eyes like a movie projected on a curtain.

This moment is reality.

The monster was spinning around beside the still teacher Li, it looked anxious but at a loss.

Xiaozhen rushed up, and before it turned its head to look at him, he knocked it to the ground with a stride.His hands were on top of its head.

This time, don't give it any chance.

(What did you do to him!!!) Its mind roared.

"Quiet. I won't hurt my teacher. I won't hurt you either." Xiao Zhen said softly.

(your teacher?)

"Yes. He is my teacher. I will never hurt him, trust me." Xiao Zhen nodded, and the monster's hostility began to fade.But it is still resisting the detection of Xiaozhen's consciousness. This creature has very strong mental resistance. It seems that there is some kind of protection in its head, which spontaneously resists the intrusion of the outside world.

"I'm the one who came looking for you. Your companions are very worried about you."

(companion?) It looks confused.

"Ramon, remember? This is your name."

(... Raymond?)

"...Well, relax, relax. Your memory seems a little messed up."

After some inspections, the son of Commander Herac was fine except for memory confusion.Under Xiaozhen's prompting, it finally became a little self-aware of its own identity.

(Are you taking me away?)

"Yes. Your brain obviously needs treatment. It seems that your race is the weakest during the transformation stage. You unfortunately encountered an accidental collision during the transformation, so you have memory confusion similar to the sequelae of concussion."

It silently listened to Xiaozhen's explanation, and glanced at Teacher Li next to him from time to time.

(So, do I have to go?)

"Yes, you have to go back for treatment. Your companions are worried about your safety." Xiaozhen said, "If you don't leave, it will cause a lot of trouble to Teacher Li who takes care of you."

The monster stood beside Teacher Li silently.Even Xiaozhen couldn't peek into any of its consciousness.

After a few seconds, it said: (Before I go, I have a request.)

*****************

So cold.

Teacher Li looked out the window, and there was heavy snow falling outside the window.

It's cold, he thought.Even though the air conditioner was turned on at home, the chill seemed to penetrate from the bottom of his feet to his heart.

It's really cold.

He sits at home alone.

It's really cold.He felt as if his blood had frozen into ice, making his body ache.

He sighed softly.

There was the sound of keys turning at the door.Teacher Li thought, who is it?He obviously has the key to this house and now he is the only one.

No one will have a key anymore.

The door was opened.

She stood at the door, lowered her head and changed into her slippers.

"..." Teacher Li stood up and stared at her blankly.

"It's so cold outside!!" She put on her slippers and walked into the house with a clatter, "I'm dying of cold!"

"you……"

"Is there anything to eat at home?" she said as she walked into the kitchen, just like before.

Teacher Li followed and walked in.

"Chicken soup? You actually stewed chicken soup." She looked at the leftover chicken soup on the stove and smiled.

"May I serve you chicken noodle soup?" Teacher Li grabbed her hand, which was cold, but the smile on her face was warm.

"it is good."

What he is best at is diving into the water.In this frigid weather, the chicken soup he had stewed earlier, the next noodle, and an egg were a perfect match.

He carefully brought the steaming chicken noodle soup to his wife.She picked up the chopsticks and happily ate the noodles.

"This chicken soup is really well stewed. So fresh."

He nodded and looked at her stupidly.Watching her stinging at his face and drinking chicken soup with a smile on her face.

After a while, she ate up a bowl of noodles.

"I'm very happy, husband," she told him.

He was still nodding vigorously.

She stood up, ready to take the bowl into the kitchen.Teacher Li grabbed her tightly. He had a lot to say to her, but he couldn't even say a word for a while.

"I know," she said softly. "It's good to see you taking care of yourself."

Teacher Li choked up and said, "Don't go, okay?"

She hugged him, "I'm right here, in your heart. I'm not going anywhere."

Teacher Li hugged her tightly and burst into tears.

"You must take good care of yourself." She whispered softly in his ear, "I will watch you."

"Good, good, good."

The heavy snow outside the window did not know when it stopped.

……

……

Teacher Li woke up from the dream.

He found himself lying on the sofa, and the puppy Simba immediately hugged his legs and barked when he saw him wake up.

He straightened up, as if he had just had a sweet dream.The scene in the dream was already blurry, but at this moment Teacher Li only felt that his heart was full of warmth.

He opened the curtains, it was sunny outside, and the hens on the balcony were basking in the sun.Strange, why should I raise a hen?He felt a little confused, probably because of the hen's eggs.

He returned to the living room, and there was an empty fruit jelly bag on the coffee table, with not a single candy in it.

He doesn't like sweets very much, let alone buy such candy snacks for himself.

Who is this for?
