Tian Huai's Yesterday
Tian Huai's brows frowned tightly.
Splicing lines unique to puppets began to surface on his body surface. Silk threads were outlined one by one from the surrounding nothingness. He, who was moving freely just a mont ago, actually instantly transford into a lifelike puppet, suspended in the middle of nurous "boxes".
Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, [Clone].
"How did you discover it?" Tian Huai's voice sounded from the "box" under Chen Ling's feet. "My original body is hidden among the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, no one knows this secret. For so many years, no one has ever forced out my true body..."
Scarlet blood flowed from Chen Ling's seven apertures. Wearing the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe, he staggered to stand up from the "box", saying slowly:
"Your secret is not that no one knows it... You told it to the person closest to you."
Chen Ling paused for a mont,
"Recall carefully again. Right now, you should be able to rember who that person is."
The box fell into silence.
Regarding the secret of Tian Huai's original body, it was naturally Huai ng who told him. The Tian Huai that appeared in front of everyone from the very beginning was a puppet, and the real him was always hidden among the Earthly Fiends... Chen Ling's goal was to find out which box he was in.
Tian Huai's reaction was actually already very fast. In his view, it was impossible for Chen Ling to know the secret of his original body. But when Chen Ling searched more than forty "boxes", he still decisively chose to kill Chen Ling imdiately to prevent accidents from happening...
But he absolutely never expected that in the end, Chen Ling would actually bizarrely lock onto the location of his original body directly and accurately from the remaining twenty-plus.
Of course, this wasn't Chen Ling guessing blindly, but he genuinely finished searching those twenty-plus boxes, and then at the mont he was instantly killed by Tian Huai, he activated [Cut], reverting the Script to eight seconds ago.
This ti, he fired a shot right into the center of Tian Huai's brows.
If it were a real bullet, this shot also couldn't possibly take the life of a Rank 8, and might not even cause him any harm. But the one that shot Tian Huai this ti wasn't a bullet...
But his past self.
...
"Brother, the parrot you secretly gave was discovered by Father again... He killed the little parrot, and even beat up severely... I... I actually don't hurt, but I'm so scared... This morning I found out that the new mute sister who ca to take care of also disappeared..."
"..."
"The mute sister was a very good person. Although she didn't speak, she was very gentle every day when she bandaged my wounds... Every night when I fell asleep, she would watch by the bed and wipe her tears... She wrote words for with water, saying she would definitely find a way to rescue ..."
"..."
"Brother, the dicine Mother boils for is getting thicker and thicker, my stomach feels so awful... Every ti after drinking the dicine, I feel light-headed. I saw Uncle Han and Butler Liu who used to take care of ... Yesterday the mute sister ca again... They would take care of together in my dreams... But sotis, I seem to not be able to distinguish whether they are real or hallucinations..."
"..."
"I secretly told Third Uncle about this matter today. Third Uncle said this is very normal, all dicines for treating illnesses are like this, only by persisting in drinking it can I recover... He also said, the future of the Esoteric Sect in the future will depend on brother and ."
"..."
"Brother, do you know what a 'Blood Puppet' is? I got up to go to the toilet last night, and when passing by Father's door, I heard him and Auntie making strange noises inside... He also said, in the future I will beco a 'Blood Puppet' and stay by brother's side, so brother can beco a Demigod... The Esoteric Sect will be carried forward in brother's hands."
"..."
Crackle, pop——
The sound of the roof beams burning in a raging fire startled Tian Huai awake from his nightmare.
He violently turned his head to look, and the manor behind him had already beco a sea of fire... He saw his teenage self standing amidst blood and fire, crazily slaughtering, the silver cloud black robe stained with blood.
He was very strong, so strong that there was unexpectedly no one in the entire family who could take a single move from him. Father, Mother, Third Uncle, Auntie, the butler, the maids... He killed his own parents with his own hands and slaughtered all his blood relatives.
Then, he carried the young Huai ng, who was covered in wounds and had his bones removed and tendons stripped, on his back, one person and one sword walking out of the sea of fire.
"Without a Blood Puppet, I can still beco a Demigod..."
He touched his unconscious younger brother's hair, the blood-stained young face full of determination. "The Esoteric Sect is already rotten in your hands, Father... From today onwards, I will lead the Esoteric Sect anew towards glory."
That day,
The most highly anticipated genius among humans, the youngest Rank 7 of the Path of the Puppeteer, the future leader of the Esoteric Sect... personally wiped out his entire family.
"This is... ?" Tian Huai looked at the [Yesterday] before his eyes. Everything in his mind seed to be completely severed. Two mories, two lives crazily intertwined in his mind, causing him to fall into deep Bewildernt.
"I think you should have noticed it long ago." Chen Ling's voice sounded calmly,
"There is a contradiction between your mory and your reality, it's just that the Silver King stole away your 'doubts'... Think carefully, which one is exactly the real you."
Chen Ling lifted the lid, and Tian Huai, wearing the silver cloud black robe, slowly sat up. Seemingly realizing sothing, his gaze looked not far away.
A teenager also wearing a silver cloud black robe was looking at him worriedly.
"Little ng..."
Tian Huai frowned tightly. That mory in his mind overlapped with Huai ng's appearance. He unconsciously stood up, his figure flickering and arriving in front of Huai ng.
"Brother...?" Huai ng spoke cautiously.
"Little ng!" Tian Huai grabbed Huai ng's shoulders with both hands, worry and self-bla flashing in his eyes. "How is it? Were you injured just now?"
Huai ng imdiately shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Brother, you rembered?"
"Only rembered a little bit..."
Tian Huai tried to sort out the complete mory, but another person's mory continuously severed it in his mind. He held his head with both hands, seemingly struggling,
He turned back to look at Chen Ling, "Damn it... What about the mory that belongs to ? How can I snatch it back?"
"Very coincidentally, we indeed have a complete 'after-sales' service..." Chen Ling raised his hand, pointing at Jiang Xiaohua who was still fighting fiercely in the distance. "It's just that, you have to retract your Earthly Fiend puppets first."
Tian Huai was startled. With almost no hesitation, he raised his hand and beckoned, taking all the puppets into the "boxes".
Just as Chen Ling said, without the Silver King stealing his doubts, Tian Huai had actually already realized sothing was wrong. When he personally witnessed that unforgettable [Yesterday] belonging to him, he was even more certain of his judgnt... A life without Huai ng did not belong to him.
"Clubs, the rest is up to you." Chen Ling said to Jiang Xiaohua who was walking straight over.
"... En."
Jiang Xiaohua swallowed the Ring back into his stomach, seemingly sowhat weak. He pointed at Tian Huai and the person possessing his mory, speaking muffledly:
"Side by side, lie down properly."
