night.

The sky was overcast and there was thunder.

The side hall of Zhuoyue Hall.

Shen Qi sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes tightly closed and his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if he had fallen into a dream.

There was a shadow as thick as a finger on his pale and slender neck that was slowly squirming, as if it was trying to break free from the skin and come out.

Dreamland.

Shen Qi returned to his childhood.

Returned to the small cave in the clan.

He saw him before, his limbs bound by chains, kneeling on the stone altar.

Under the stone altar is a crystal clear pool.

His blood flowed from the meridians of his limbs and meandered into the water.

Not long after, densely packed small insects crawled out of the water and burrowed into his flesh along his wounds.

Shen Qi struggled convulsively on the stone platform, sweat mixed with tears running down his pale face.

Blood seeped out from every pore in his body.

Shen Qi stood on the stone steps, quietly looking at his former self who was eaten by the poisonous insects.

A strange, bewitching voice sounded in his ears:

"Look at you, who was once so embarrassed..."

"Does it hurt?"

"Want to take revenge? Want to gain power?"

Shen Qi, who was on the stone platform, raised his head in confusion and looked at him with blood on his face, a hint of hope in his dead eyes.

He said: "...save...save me..."

Shen Qi quietly looked at the embarrassed child on the stone platform with tears streaming down his face.

His eyes were silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The unfamiliar voice sounded again, gentle and beguiling:

"Go and save him, save your former self..."

Shen Qi walked towards the child as if he was bewitched, his pale face filled with distress and anger.

Shen Qi walked over and knelt down, then stretched out his arms to hold the wounded former self weakly into his arms, and said in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid."

The person in his arms raised his lifeless eyes and looked at him. When he saw his face clearly, he asked in surprise: "Are you...me?"

Shen Qi nodded, "I am you in the future."

There was a slight light in the eyes of the old man, and he looked at Shen Qi and murmured: "...It seems that I didn't die here."

Shen Qi's voice was filled with obvious joy, and he said, "Yeah. No. You survived."

"That's good." His former self lowered his head and relaxed into Shen Qi's arms.

Tears fell from his eyes, and he said aggrievedly and helplessly: "But it really hurts me. There are so many bugs biting me."

Shen Qi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and replied, "I know. It won't hurt anymore."

"...Really? You promise?"

"Well. I promise."

He could guarantee that he would survive in the future and would not be in pain again, but he could not make his former self get better immediately.

The meridians on the pale skin of his former self bulged, and black shadows of all sizes were swimming under his skin.

Blood continued to seep out from the pores on his body and wet his clothes.

He was trembling with pain, and he didn't even have the strength to grab the sleeve of Shen Qi from the future.

He gradually curled up, and intermittent pleas for help escaped from the corners of his mouth: "...Help me...I hurt so much!!! I hurt so much!!!"

"...Shen Qi...Shen Qi, can you save me?"

Facing his former self's plea for help, Shen Qi's eyes were full of heartache and helplessness. He understood the pain that penetrated deep into his soul, and he wanted to save him and his former self.

But there was nothing he could do at this moment.

He said: "Okay, I will save you."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head again, his long eyelashes hanging down, looking pitiful and fragile. He said: "...but I don't know how to save you now, I can't save you..."

"It's okay, now, can you hug me?"

Before, Shen Qi didn't dare to hug him hard for fear of touching his wounds, but now he couldn't care so much anymore.

Shen Qi hugged him tightly, as if he was hugging the bruised and helpless self across time and space.

"Shen Qi" leaned into his arms with a weird smile on his lips.

"Yes, that's it. Melt in with me——Ah!!!"

Before the bewitching words could be finished, the person held in Shen Qi's arms was caught off guard and let out a scream.

He wanted to lower his head to look, but was trapped tightly in Shen Qi's arms.

Shen Qi held him in his arms and passed a sharp hand through his abdomen.

"Shen Qi" looked at him with despair and disbelief, and asked, "You...why?"

Shen Qi patted his back comfortingly with one hand, and slowly pulled out the other hand from the sticky flesh and blood of the person under him. He had a gentle smile on his lips, and his eyes were casual but lifeless.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" The person in his arms screamed heartbreakingly.

The bewitching voice that I heard before also screamed, "Shen Qi! What are you doing?!"

"You're crazy! Don't you want to save him? Don't you want to save your former self?"

Shen Qi let go of the lifeless man in his arms and smiled sweetly: "Isn't he in pain? If he dies, he won't feel the pain."

He looked at his lifeless former self on the ground and asked in confusion: "I'm just helping him, why do you blame me in turn?"

"........."

The voice didn't speak anymore, and the surrounding scenery changed little by little until it collapsed.

Shen Qi wiped the blood on his hands indifferently and looked at the dead people on the ground and the crumbling scenes around him quietly.

………………

A thin, silver-white snake hid in the dark and peered at Shen Qi.

The blood-red snake eyes stared at him angrily.

"……"hateful!

Why is Shen Qi so weird? Doesn't he have anything to fear or care about?

It is parasitic on Shen Qi and naturally knows everything about Shen Qi's past.

It thought he knew Shen Qi well enough.

But now it seems it doesn't understand him at all.

I have tried several scenarios and people, and whether faced with sympathy, anger, sadness, humiliation or hatred... Shen Qi has no reaction at all.

He was like an indifferent bystander, indifferent and indifferent.

This is not going to be easy...

Wait, it suddenly thought of someone.

The little snake spit out the letter happily,

It once again erased Shen Qi's memory just now and controlled the surrounding environment to change rapidly.
