Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

This old and dilapidated place was a shantytown before the founding of the People's Republic of China, where poor people from all over the country gathered and lived temporarily.

In a place like this with dense flow of people and people of all kinds staying together, it is inevitable that some dirty things hidden in the darkness will happen.

Therefore, it was impossible to control murders, robberies, and prostitution in the shantytowns. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that urbanization progressed, the shantytowns became old and dilapidated, the densely populated population moved away, and the people coming and going changed countless times. Only then did these incidents gradually stop.

The little ghost was a resident of the shantytown before it was transformed into an old and dilapidated house. His memory from birth to death is very brief. Even from the time he can remember to the end of his life, it was only a short three or four years.

He remembered that there were always a lot of people in the shantytowns. They were all very poor and did hard and dirty jobs, but they were still busy for a long time and still could not get enough food. Most of them were pale and thin, with only skin and bones left.

The family he was born into was very poor, so poor that there were not even a few grains of rice in the pot of porridge.

He had to help his parents with heavy work during the day and chop firewood and cook at night. His parents and younger brother could sit together at the small wooden table to eat, but he could only squat in the corner with a bowl of rice and water, sipping it mouthful by mouthful.

In that very poor family, his younger brother was white and chubby like a cotton doll, making people like him just by looking at him.

They are busy every day but never have enough to eat.

This is like a mule pulling a millstone, always turning in circles again and again, but being tied there. It keeps moving but can never change the status quo.

Later, his parents took him to a woman's home in the shantytown.

This woman had a lot of delicious food at home, including candies that all the children from wealthy families at the time loved to eat. They tasted sweet in the mouth and were much more delicious than brown rice water.

His parents pushed his back with their hands from behind, pushing him into the woman's house little by little.

His parents told him that if the woman had delicious food at home, he would never have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

His parents told him that he would enjoy a happy life in the future.

The woman lifted the rag covering his forehead and touched it with her long-nailed fingers.

The woman said he was very handsome.

He had the most sumptuous meal that night, and he realized that rice was sweet, soft, fragrant, and came in a big bowl full of rice without any water mixed in it.

The fragrant and melt-in-your-mouth pork ribs are the stewed ones, and the crispy skin is the fried pork fillet...

He thought, this woman's home must be the paradise that people talk about.

There are new people coming to heaven every day. They include old people, children, men and women.

Once they come, they won't leave.

They will enjoy happiness in heaven.

This is what the woman said.

later.

His hands and feet were bound with heavy iron chains.

In the dim room, the woman raised the scalpel that was glowing white and smiled at him.

He struggled to turn his head and saw the faces of those who remained in heaven.

They said, that’s great, you should stay here with us.

The pain spread throughout the body.

The eyes fell into darkness.

When he was about to die, he heard the woman's hideous smile.

He wants to go home.

He wants to go home.

……

When he regained consciousness, he was back in his mother's arms.

His mother was feeding him hot rice porridge and finely chopped meat.

She patted his back and said, "My good baby, grow taller..."

He licked the flesh on his lips and turned his head to look at the corner.

In the corner, a skinny figure was holding a broken bowl, staring at him with his big, clear black and white eyes.

So ugly.

he thinks.

That's really ugly.

A little yellow-haired girl who is dark, thin and has three eyes.

No wonder mom doesn’t like “her”.

“How did you find out?”

The little ghost walked out of the darkness holding a rabbit doll. The beautiful doll, which was originally white and fat, turned into a skinny little girl when it reappeared.

Because she was so thin, the arms holding the rabbit doll looked like two bamboo sticks.

She opened her big, clear black and white eyes and looked at Pei Yu expressionlessly.

Pei Yu: “It started when I came here.”

The little ghost tightened his grip on the bunny doll, glanced at Cen Shenyi and the other ghost hunters, and then looked at Pei Yu: "You are also a ghost, you know why we exist."

"So your obsession is to transform into your brother's appearance and play house with illusions?"

The little ghost pursed his lips and hugged the bunny doll: "You adults are really boring."

"Maybe it's because I haven't played house for a long time." Pei Yu supported the sword.

"Evil spirits are born from obsessions, and they will also be imprisoned by obsessions."

Cen Shenyi walked over and looked at the little ghost: "But you are imprisoned by obsession, are you still yourself?"

The little ghost said: "When I first became an evil ghost, I tried again and again, and changed myself, but I found that no matter how I tried, I would die the same way as before."

"Only if I become their younger brother will they not give up on me."

"Even when there was famine, they never gave up on their brother."

“They just don’t love me.”

At the end of his speech, two lines of blood and tears flowed from the little ghost's black and white eyes.

She tried again and again, and died in the illusion again and again.

In the end, I found out that they abandoned her simply because her parents didn't love her.

She sewed that doll for herself.

Because her younger brother has a lot of dolls that their mother sewed.

She's not a weird kid.

She is not ugly.

She is just born unique, she can feel love and have love.

If her parents don't love her, then she will love herself.

After struggling in the illusion for decades, she finally chose to save herself.

The little ghost held the doll and smiled at Pei Yu and Cen Shenyi.

"Thank you. And, you weird adults, you don't understand how much fun it is for children to play house."
