70: Chapter 70 The Most Unfortunate Person Will Own the Black Box 70: Chapter 70 The Most Unfortunate Person Will Own the Black Box “There’s a Butterfly in ng Changshou’s brain?”
“The doctor said our eldest brother’s brain developed abnormally with early permanent damage, characteristic of a rare psychological disorder,” ng Changxi’s every word dripped with a chilling breath.
“It was then that I realized, the one who was sick in my family wasn’t just that beast, but also my eldest brother who had always taken care of and helped .”
“So ng Changshou is the Butterfly?”
Han Fei was quite surprised, and ng Changxi even more so upon hearing Han Fei’s words: “You actually know about the existence of the Butterfly?”
“I simply know that ng Chang’an has been searching for the Butterfly all this ti, but I still haven’t figured out what the Butterfly actually is,” Han Fei said with total concentration, preparing to commit to mory every word spoken by ng Changxi.
“Big brother isn’t the sa person we’re looking for as the Butterfly, but the Butterfly truly changed third brother completely through big brother,” ng Changxi then revealed another matter.
“When that beast, third brother, went to school, he beca even crazier, and the treatnt had no effect whatsoever.
The one who found a psychologist for third brother back then was big brother, who was already working.
After seeing big brother’s brain scan, I realized sothing was wrong.
I tracked down the information left by that doctor at that ti, only to find the information didn’t match up with the actual person.
All along, the one treating third brother wasn’t a psychologist, but sothing else.”
“Sothing else?” Han Fei noted ng Changxi’s choice of words.
“That’s right, I don’t even know how to describe it, but it doesn’t seem human.” ng Changxi rolled up his sleeve to reveal scars on his arm, looking like codes or characters: “I clearly saw it, but can’t recall its face at all.
To avoid forgetting the last bits of mory about it, I recorded everything on my body.”
Gazing at the scars on ng Changxi’s arm, Han Fei’s eyelids twitched slightly: “You’re really harsh on yourself.”
“Before I t you, I had no other path to take,” ng Changxi pointed at his face.
“Surveillance caras are everywhere now, connected to the central Smart Brain.
Any suspect’s face that appears could potentially be recognized, so to prevent being caught, I destroyed my own face.”
The grueso scars cluttered on his face made it impossible to tell whether ng Changxi was crying or smiling.
“That thing always treated third brother at night, treating the human body as a nest for the soul.
In its view, it is the soul that gives life its form, transforming the body’s potential into a reality.
This transformation is the very process of life’s creation.”
“I don’t really understand all this, could you simply tell what that thing’s features are?
I want to catch it to avenge my friends,” Han Fei’s words were earnest.
“Speaking specifically, that thing has butterfly-wing-like patterns on its arms; I can’t rember its face, just the patterns.” Right after, ng Changxi revealed sothing very significant: “They seem to be searching for a box, a box filled with the pain, despair, and misfortune of the mortal world, that box hidden deep within the soul.
At first, it wanted to find that box within third brother, but it wasn’t found.”
“A box?” At this point, Han Fei was certain that the Butterfly’s target must be the Black Box inside his own head.
“The box seems to appear with the most unfortunate individuals.
Butterfly searched for a long ti and didn’t find it, and later they prepared to create a soul that might possess the box themselves.” ng Changxi promptly took off his coat: “Ten years ago, the Butterfly sought out three people, each of them a culprit in the Human-body Puzzle case.”
“Three?”
“The first was He Shouye, director of the North Street Orphanage; the second was ng Chang’an; and the third was my eldest brother.
I know of these three, and it’s possible there are other culprits as well.”
“Do you have any definitive evidence?” Han Fei really wanted to help ng Changxi, but he also knew that if there were tangible evidence, ng Changxi wouldn’t need to be on the run.
The two inside the room fell silent, neither saying a word.
After more than ten seconds, ng Changxi pursed his cracked lips, staring at Han Fei, he slowly said: “Can I trust you?”
“Of course.”
“Don’t agree so quickly, you don’t know well.
The man standing before you right now is a real murderer; I killed He Shouye,” ng Changxi’s scar-riddled face beca terrifying in conjunction with his words.
“I had already guessed that, so I hope that after we catch the real culprit, you can also surrender and seek a lenient sentence,” Han Fei had seen too many horrifying and bloody scenes; his reaction was not at all like that of a normal person staying together with a murderer.
“I don’t have definitive evidence, but I have stored everything I’ve truly organized away in an abandoned area in the outskirts called Happiness Residential Community.
All the evidence is in the bathroom of room 1044.” ng Changxi slowly averted his gaze: “The police will locate soon, ng Chang’an intentionally set up when he was killing people.
I don’t have much ti left.”
“That place you ntioned…” Hearing ng Changxi’s words, Han Fei was genuinely startled; the Haunted House where he lived in the ga also had the number 1044.
“What’s the matter?” Seeing Han Fei’s expression change for the first ti, ng Changxi was sowhat puzzled.
“No, it’s nothing; it’s just surprising that you had contact with the victims involved in the Human-body Puzzle case.
What I heard was the police only received the videos of you burying dead animals and people in the past.
If ng Chang’an had evidence of the Human-body Puzzle case, why would he…”
Han Fei was cut off before he could finish as ng Changxi interjected: “Sending the videos of burying animal corpses directly to the police is not sothing ng Chang’an would do.
He had already placed the clues and evidence where the police would definitely find them if they investigated deeply, wanting the police to catch by themselves.”
“Who sent that video then?”
“This isn’t ng Chang’an’s style, it might have been done by my eldest brother.” ntioning ng Changshou, ng Changxi’s agony intensified: “I now don’t know what kind of connection exists among those bewitched by the Butterfly.
Compared to ng Changshou, ng Chang’an is closer to what the Butterfly desires.
So, if an accident truly occurred, I suspect my eldest brother would take the fall for ng Chang’an; it seems they have another backup plan ready, which is why I dare not rashly take out everything I’ve truly organized.”
“If you’re entrusting with the information you’ve truly compiled, what do you plan to do yourself?” Han Fei realized ng Changxi seed to be making a “final arrangent.”
“You don’t need to know what I’m going to do, just rember the address I told you.” ng Changxi’s eyes were fixed on Han Fei: “If I die, you hand over everything there to the police.”
