Mysterious city

In such a dark environment, hearing footsteps of unknown origin in the distance is naturally not a comforting thing.

Especially for Xiaoyan, who was already in a state of panic, this was an even more frightening thing.

"Who is who?"

Xiaoyan's voice was still trembling, and it could be seen that no matter how crazy the boy was just now and how violent he had exploded, he still felt as timid as a defenseless child at this moment.

More than anything else, the unknown danger is the most terrifying.

"What are you afraid of? It seems that you are not only weak, but also a coward. I am really disappointed."

"But having said that, I told you just now, I am you and you are me. To be disappointed with you means to be disappointed with myself."

Accompanied by a voice with a somewhat frivolous tone, the footsteps that just appeared were getting closer and closer.

And this voice was the mysterious voice that just appeared in Xiaoyan's mind, but now it no longer came from the inside of his mind, but from the outside.

And compared to the majestic and inexplicably convincing voice just now, this voice obviously sounds a little less coercive, and is actually closer to Xiao Yan's own voice.

Before the panicked Xiaoyan could ask again, the answer to the mystery had been revealed.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, the black mist that was still so dark around Xiao Yan that he could not see his fingers instantly dissipated a lot and became slightly brighter.

Soon, Xiaoyan found a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

One second, both his figure and face were completely hidden in the black mist. The next second, it was as if he suddenly appeared out of thin air, revealing his true appearance.

"You, how is this possible!"

After seeing that person's appearance, Xiao Yan was immediately frightened and fell to the ground, with a look of shock on her face.

Because the person who suddenly appeared in front of him was none other than Xiaoyan "himself"!

In other words, it is another person who is exactly the same as him in appearance, body shape, temperament and face, as if he was cast from a template.

The only slight difference is that the expression of the "Xiao Yan" in front of him looks more evil, with an indescribable smile on his face.

If I had to find a word to describe that sickly and weird smile, it would be an overconfident smile.

A smile that is pathologically confident!

There is also the aura that this guy carries. He is obviously a big boy whose childishness has still completely faded away from his face, even though his body shape seems to be carved from the same mold as Xiao Yan, as thin as a telephone pole.

But the aura carried by this big boy is different from that of Xiao Yan, who has always been cowardly and humble. It can be said that they are almost two complete extremes.

He carries a strong coercion on him, which is not a temperament that can only be developed by a person in power who is pampered and self-indulgent for a long time.

On the contrary, it is a completely opposite sense of coercion, wild and full of power. No matter how thin and weak the body looks, it seems to be able to tear anyone standing in front of it into pieces in an instant like a ferocious beast. , just like crushing the past!

If Jiang Zhe at this moment still retains the memory of his past as Constantine, it is not difficult to find this other weird "Xiao Yan" standing in front of him now, whether it is the pathologically confident expression on his face, or the The powerful beast-like aura carried on the body is a typical sign before demonization.

It's a pity that at this moment, under the influence of that mysterious and powerful external force, Jiang Zhe's memories and emotions have already been completely integrated with Xiaoyan.

So looking at the "clone" in front of him at this moment, Jiang Zhe's mood was exactly the same as Xiaoyan's, only endless panic!

Although I had already been prepared in my heart, when I suddenly saw a person who looked exactly like me and had such a sick smile in this dark environment, I believe that any normal person would be surprised. It feels extremely scary.

"What are you afraid of? I said you are me, I am you, we are one."

"What's the matter, are you still afraid that I can hurt you? I'm not stupid enough to hurt myself."

"Xiao Yan" in front of him smiled and shrugged with an indifferent expression.

"Is there another me in my consciousness?"

"It's been more than ten or two years, why have I never felt you now?"

Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the ground, was shivering and asked with a trembling voice, as if she still couldn't recover from the shock and fear of seeing the scene in front of her.

"Although I really don't want to scold myself, but what else could it be because of? It's not because you are too stupid, the other me."

The "Xiao Yan" in front of her spread her hands, as if she was helpless at the stupidity of her other self.

"For more than ten or twenty years, I have been hiding deep in your subconscious. I am asleep most of the time. I only appear when your mood fluctuates greatly."

"The reason why you haven't noticed my existence is, firstly, because you are too stupid, and secondly, because we are completely opposite existences."

The other "Xiao Yan" sighed, and said with a hint of disdain and unwillingness: "It is you, a weak, cowardly, stupid guy who has always dominated the consciousness."

"And I symbolize your desire, ambition, and strength. I am infinitely better than you, but I can only sleep in your subconscious. The other me, please tell your conscience, is this fair? ?”

"Xiaoyan" looked down at her other self who was still slumped on the ground, not daring to move or even take a breath, with a look on her face filled with hatred for the iron.

Although Xiao Yan was extremely reluctant, she had to admit that what the clone of herself in front of her said did make some sense.

Xiaoyan's character has always been very cowardly since she was a child.

Even if Xiaoyan's family background was placed in Wangcun, which was several orders of magnitude lower than the average economic level, it would still be at the bottom.

After all, for any rural family, without the support of a man, it is equivalent to losing a reliable pillar of the house, and there is a risk of collapse at any time.

Perhaps because of the very poor and difficult living environment since childhood, Xiaoyan's character has always been very cowardly and inferior.

Especially when she was young, no matter how honest and honest the people of Wang Village were, Xiaoyan was often bullied by children of the same age.

Therefore, it is wrong to say that man's nature is good at the beginning. It should be said that man's nature is evil at the beginning.

Almost every child is a devil when he is young. Otherwise, what would be the need for education?

Without the restraints of morality and sensibleness, the nature of a child is closer to that of a beast. They are brutal, advocating violence, and will use their fists when they disagree.

Therefore, Xiaoyan has been bullied by children of the same age in the same village since he was a child. Even if he was beaten by Fatty, he would only cry and cry, and he could not even say a harsh word.

Although many times, the children holding him down and shaking their fists were much smaller than him.

And even if she was beaten every time, even if her face was bruised and her body was covered with scars, Xiaoyan would only dare to hide when she got home, not daring to let her mother and brothers and sisters see her.

After all, most of the children who bully him have a complete family no matter what their conditions are.

If my mother and brother really saw it, what else could I do except worry about myself.

Xiaoyan's brother was already short in stature due to malnutrition, especially when he was young.

If you let your old mother and your short brother, who is also a child, seek justice for you, it will only make things worse. What's more, just taking on the extra family burden for you is enough to make you My mother and brother were exhausted both physically and mentally.

So every time he was bullied, Xiaoyan would sit alone in a corner and cry secretly at night when no one was with him. He didn't dare to cry out because he was worried that his mother and brother would be sad if they found out.

But what I have to admit is that even if Xiaoyan doesn't dare to resist, even if he can't say bad words to the children who bully him, at certain moments when he doesn't even notice it, he does have to pay back the child twice as much. the other person’s thoughts.

As if he had seen through what Xiao Yan was thinking at the moment, the other "Xiao Yan" smiled, leaned down and asked him: "Tell me, do you admit that you once wanted to kill those children? Even after When you were just a kid?”

"Tell me, even now, do you want to kill those guys who just deducted the fruits of your efforts and beat you up?"

As if a switch had been touched, after hearing these words, the long-suppressed thoughts in Xiaoyan's heart increased countless times as if springs were added.

I do, of course I do, how could I not want to!

It's a pity that he is too weak, he has no power.

"Hahaha, you finally figured it out, stupid other me."

"Yes, what you want is very simple, not something that is so shady and humble as to be in the dust."

"All you want is power, and I can give you power!"

After once again accurately understanding what Xiao Yan was thinking, his "clone" raised his head and laughed loudly.

The laughter was so arrogant. Although it still had a childlike quality, it sounded chilling!

That's the kind of laughter only a devil can make.

"Come, hold my hand, I will give you strength."

"Xiao Yan" leaned down and stretched out her hand to her other self with great kindness, as if she wanted to pull him up from the ground.

But the tone of his words made people feel like a poisonous snake spitting out poison!
