captive joint

When Shao Jun left the bedroom, the sky was already bright, and the door of the studio was still unlocked like yesterday.He followed the route he walked yesterday all the way to the basement.

Before entering the dark passageway behind the oil painting, Shao Jun hesitated for a moment, but still took the dagger he put in the basement yesterday.

His teacher is neither reliable nor kind, and has nothing to do with most of the world's virtues, but one thing can be trusted, that is, that person never does things for no reason.

Holding the dagger, Shao Jun walked familiarly in the dark passage.There is only one narrow path in this passage. Brother Yao Yingyi has carefully handled the flat ground. As long as you keep walking towards your destination, even if there is no light to guide you, you don't need to worry about getting lost or falling down.

But walking in the passage Yao Yingyi made for himself, Shao Jun was thinking of another person——Yao Yingyan.

Although the fire on October 10 has never been extinguished in his heart, but so long has passed, he asked himself, can he really let Yao Yingyi go and be with Yao Yingyan?

He couldn't give an answer.

In the past, he could say without hesitation that if Yao Yingyi's elder brother died, why would he steal his own life?But now he couldn't bear it.

He didn't know if he was in love with Yao Yingyan, but he couldn't bear this person.

However, Shao Jun is unwilling to let him live with this doll's body.

He thought that before Yao Yingyan did this, the teacher must not have told him all the truth.Otherwise, Shao Jun believed that he would not have killed himself.

Even if he wanted to die at that time, even if he didn't die in his hands, he would die by suicide and be eaten up by ghouls.

Even if this method can make a severely burned self regain a healthy body far beyond ordinary people.

Yao Yingyan would not do this either.

This method has a fatal flaw.It was also because even if Shao Jun found Yao Yingyan, a blood relative, he didn't use it to revive elder brother Yao Yingyi in the end.Because even if it is resurrected with the body of a doll, if it cannot continue to devour the flesh and blood of its relatives, the surviving person will gradually lose its sense of autonomy, and eventually become a real doll that can only obey the creator's orders.

Yao Yingyi and himself were both born in an orphanage, so even if they could keep offering sacrifices to their relatives, they didn't have so many choices.

This is not a method of resurrection, but a method of making slaves.

And I shouldn't be so naive.

If you rashly use the method obtained by the teacher, there will never be a good end for anyone.

In today's fate, I can only say that I deserved it...

After leaving the passage and climbing up, it is the place where Shao Jun and Yao Yingyi originally lived in the two-story building.It's just that after a fire, the original small building can no longer be seen around. Weeds grow from the broken stones and bricks, erasing the traces of the small building.

Even though it has been so long, Shao Jun has never dared to take a closer look, he is afraid that those happy memories here will naturally emerge, and he can only be trapped here and cry helplessly, losing everything. The power to move away.

Walking down from the original small building, to the left should be brother Yao Yingyi's tombstone, and to the right is the cliff.

The ceramic body fired with ashes mixed with clay ensures flexibility with the shape of spherical joints.The body produced in this way is not afraid of cold and heat, nor is it afraid of being cut by a knife or sword. Even if a part is broken, it can move. Only by smashing them completely can life be ended.

If Shao Jun wanted to die, he had to go to the right; if he wanted to see brother Yao Yingyi's tombstone again, he had to go to the left.

He stood on the faintly visible path among the bushes, hesitating for a long time, until the sun rose in the east, he turned and walked to the right.

Along the way, the grass was thick on both sides, and Shao Jun suddenly remembered the half-real dream he had not long ago.He was also walking on such a path, which was exactly the same as the scattered stone tablets in the grass.

At that time, it was the bandaged puppet monster who led the way for him, and it was also the one that dragged itself and fell off the cliff together.

And this monster also appeared on the edge of the cliff this morning.

With its back facing Shao Jun, it stared down at the bottom of the cliff.It seemed that after hearing Shao Jun's approaching footsteps, it turned around and faced Shao Jun.

Leaving aside the incomparably bloated and weird bandaged head, its other parts are considered beautiful by the standards of a puppet.

Shao Jun has always been suspicious of the identity of this monster. Sometimes it appears in his dreams, and sometimes it actually appears beside him. After recovering his memory, he has been guessing whether this is the teacher's trick, but now looking at it It just feels more and more familiar.

"You are?" Shao Jun didn't care about the many weeds and the rough road, and quickly approached the cliff with big strides.

The monster took a few steps back, getting closer and closer to the edge of the cliff, and then it raised its hand, and all the bandages that had wrapped its face fell off, and it floated down the cliff with the wind.The face behind the bandage made Shao Jun stop involuntarily.

its own face.

It smiled mockingly at itself with that face that was identical to itself, opened its arms, and fell backwards.

"Wait!" Without thinking, Shao Jun ran to the edge of the cliff to stop it from falling, and asked it.

But suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing from his back, and before he could check, he was thrown to the ground with a bang.

At this time, he turned his head and realized that it was Yao Yingyan who was supposed to have passed out in the bedroom and grabbed his feet. .

"Brother?" Shao Jun was puzzled.He didn't understand why Yao Yingyan could still come to this place soberly, and he thought it was because the medicine had failed.

It wasn't until Yao Yingyan's grip on him gradually weakened, and his head was like a chicken pecking at rice, that he was sure that he didn't miss it.

Suddenly at the next moment, Yao Yingyan, who had been drowsy, swung his left arm towards the dagger in Shao Jun's hand. Shao Jun couldn't dodge it, but felt the seemingly invisible resistance passing by the blade for a moment, and the blood flowed from the knife. Yao Yingyan's sleeve leaked out and dripped on Shao Jun's bare calf.

He thought it was because Yao Yingyan was sleepy and confused, he didn't notice the dagger in his hand, he tore off a piece of the hem of his pajamas without thinking about it, and opened Yao Yingyan's cuff just as he was about to bandage it.

But apart from the wound just now, on that arm, there were already several deep wounds that were bleeding.

Shao Jun was extremely shocked, and couldn't help shouting: "Are you crazy! Use this method to stay awake."

"Junjun... my brother has been crazy for a long time." Even though he used the pain to maintain consciousness, Yao Yingyan's eyes were still half-opened and half-closed, as if he would fall asleep at any time, but his bloody arm still clasped Shao Jun's eyes tightly. leg.

"Brother, calm down. Look at me, look at me, what do I look like now?" Shao Jun persuaded Yao Yingyan while helping him bandage him.

"Yes... yes... Jun... Jun... Jun Jun." Yao Yingyan slowly opened his eyes wide and replied hesitantly.

"No, it's not me. Now the superficial illusion maintained by this body is fading." Shao Jun raised the arm that had become a smooth ceramic limb in his eyes, and stretched it out in front of Yao Yingyan, "You saw that Just a puppet body talking. It's not me."

"But you are still Junjun." Yao Yingyan staggered and took another step forward.This time Shao Jun managed to avoid it, took advantage of this to get up from the ground, and ran to the edge of the cliff in a few steps.

"But I should be a human being. I don't want to be like this, brother." Shao Jun retorted standing on the edge of the cliff.

"Jun Jun, brother will always be good to you." Yao Yingyan cried bitterly, and approached Shao Jun staggeringly, "I will always be good to you. No matter what wishes you have, brother will satisfy you. Jun Jun, brother Please, give brother a chance, okay?"

"But my wish is death. Brother." Shao Jun smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry, brother."

As he said that, he turned around and wanted to jump off the cliff.

But the scene under the cliff made him stop his movements.

Under the cliff was the cave where he was locked up by ghouls.And he jumped from the position he was standing on, and he could fall to his death in the very center of the cave, near the depression.

The puppet that fell just now was lying in the middle of the cave at this moment, its limbs were incomplete, and its body was too shattered to be discernible.Only its head is much better preserved.

That head, together with the densely piled heads around it, stared expressionlessly at Shao Jun, the same kind that hadn't jumped off, with the same face.

Suddenly, Shao Jun remembered the numerous remains of dolls he saw in that cave.He wondered at the time why there were so many fragments.It's not because Yao Yingyan or Yao Yingyi has the obsessive-compulsive disorder that he must throw garbage there.

At this moment he finally understood.

It turned out to be the case.

Shao Jun clenched the dagger in his hand, unable to tell what kind of mood he was in right now.The teacher said that you will come in handy, and it turned out to be like this.

Shao Jun walked back from the edge of the cliff, and as soon as he took a step, Yao Yingyan threw him to the ground again, firmly holding him down.He struggled to pull out his hands, hugged Yao Yingyan tightly, and asked softly next to his ear, "How many times is this?"

Yao Yingyan's face changed drastically, and he said a number with trembling lips.

Yao Yingyan is really crazy, Shao Jun thought desperately.

He thought of the weird passage of time every time he woke up after losing consciousness, and the fall that he thought was a dream, and even the appearance of the bandaged monster, all for the same reason.

It was not the first time he regained his memory and chose to commit suicide by falling off a cliff, nor was it the first time he was resurrected by Yao Yingyan after his death. The remains of the puppet on the cliff belonged to him, but he didn't remember them all.

That's why his memory kept reminding him with phantoms again and again, reminding him again and again not to be intimate with Yao Yingyan, he would regret it.

But Shao Jun didn't finally understand this until now.

"You won't give up, will you, brother." Shao Jun raised the dagger and pressed it to Yao Yingyan's back chest.

Yao Yingyan was drowsy at first, relying on his body weight to suppress Shao Jun, but when he heard these words, he opened his eyes.

"I don't want to repeat this kind of thing again, brother. But you won't give up, will you?" Shao Jun felt the incomparably vivid heartbeat in Yao Yingyan's chest, and he clenched the dagger in his hand and repeated.

Yao Yingyan nodded, as if ignoring the dagger behind his back that was likely to take his life, he still answered honestly. : "I can't let go, Junjun."

"But it's actually a mistake, isn't it?" Shao Jun wanted to stab with trembling hands.

He already knew that this was a time-consuming and interlocking conspiracy.All that was left to him was to succumb to this method manipulated by the teacher behind Yao Yingyan's back, or take the dagger handed to him by the teacher to kill Yao Yingyan and completely end this repeated mistake.

And that ghoul that kept chasing and killing him was originally part of his own self-help.

He chose to let the ghoul kill him and swallow his body in that hospital bed, probably not just because of the blow of brother Yao Yingyi's death.But he was aware of this conspiracy at the time, and wanted to use the destruction of the ashes to destroy the conditions.

Yet he failed.

But at this moment, he still has a chance to save himself. As long as Yao Yingyan is killed, this farce can end.

According to the teacher's reserve, after Yao Yingyan's death, he will definitely not participate in the game in person.Then at least you are free after death.

As long as he kills Yao Yingyan here with the dagger that killed him, he will be free.

The dagger cut through Yao Yingyan's thin pajamas, and with a little force, this sharp dagger could pierce Yao Yingyan's heart.

but……

He can't do it...

He can't do it...

Shao Jun's hands kept shaking, and he cried out in despair, "Yao Yingyan, I only lied to you once, why did you do this to me?"

"I like you, Junjun."

Yao Yingyan was in a daze.He kissed Shao Jun's face without any rules, and kept repeating: "I like you."

A burst of crazy laughter came out of Shao Jun's mouth.He spread his arms and gave up resistance.

The dagger drew an arc in the air and fell from the cliff.

"You win. I'm yours, brother."

Shao Jun's eyes were out of focus, and tears flowed quietly from his eyes, but his body returned to a human appearance.Yao Yingyan didn't say anything, just hugged Shao Jun, also crying bitterly.
