Chapter 95

The development of the matter was far beyond the control of Jiang Chanji's parents. They were trapped in the unfamiliar Southeast Asia, and they desperately wanted to go home to see their son, because they knew that they were gone, and the son could only face the creditors who came to him alone. Including the tough ones, it's brutal to put teenage sons through this...but they can't help themselves.

They don't know how long they have been in Southeast Asia. During the frequent gaps between fragments and a small amount of waking time, they vaguely remember that they got a package from someone and sent it out.

Ten days after sending the package, they suddenly regained their sobriety and recovered completely.

Nightmares, auditory hallucinations, fragments... All these conditions disappeared without a trace, as if they had never experienced those things, as if a switch in their brains was snapped off.

The couple were not stupid, they thought of a possibility after a little summing up—they were just pure tool people, and everything was for them to receive and send that package.

But why do you have to let the package transfer from their hands?
They knew that this incident was too bizarre and important, so they hurried to the courier company to check the receipt information of the package... Then they saw their son's name, the delivery address was very strange, and the package contained food and beverages.

The date of receipt of the package is the day they regain their sobriety.

They understand that they can regain their sobriety because they have lost their use value.

No matter who is trying to use them, the ultimate goal is their son. It may be because the son's physique or spirit is not easily affected by nightmares, auditory hallucinations, and fragments, so they can only be faked with great effort.

Since the food and drink was sent, it is easy to infer that the purpose of the perpetrator was to let the son eat or drink something.

They are an ordinary family, and they have never had any enemies, so it is not worth others to deal with them so deliberately, not to mention that it is easy for people with this kind of means to kill their family, and it is even easier to kill their son. They just hacked their son to death with a kitchen knife...

So, as luck would have it, they believed the package wasn't poison, but what was it if it wasn't poison?

They can't figure it out.

Father wrote: "We wrote you this letter as soon as we figured it out, we don't know if you still live at that address, hope you didn't eat or drink what was in the package, we hope you... everything all good."

"Trust us, we wish we could fly back to China and apologize to you face to face, but we can't, because a large number of creditors have already chased us."

"Don't come to us, you can't find us, now we live in no fixed place, we go around in circles all over the world, wherever we go, creditors chase us, it's like walking a dog... If we go back to China, the creditors will be led to You, our family of three will be trapped, unable to do anything."

"Jiji, don't give up hope! We have been working hard to find the answer. We remember the things we drew, those strange scenes and strange creatures. We asked about wherever we went. We have found some clues. One day we will solve this mystery!"

"We can only guess at the moment. This may be related to the strange power you possessed since you were a child. Someone...or some kind of existence has taken a fancy to you."

From here on, the handwriting becomes illegible.

"Jiji, we still have a lot to say, but we have already heard the footsteps and noise of the creditors from downstairs, and they are chasing us again..."

"We'll still be writing to you, and hope you're still living at that address, and if you're not there...we hope you're well too."

"Take care of yourself, don't worry about us, we have a lot of skills, no matter where we go, we can make money by sketching people on the street or playing guitar, sometimes we can sneak into the bar and play the piano..."

"Jiji, don't give up hope, our family of three will be reunited one day! We believe in you, and you should also believe in us!"

The letter ends here.

During the process of reading the letter, Jiang Chanji's emotions fluctuated following this bizarre story, but he calmed down after reading it.

He read the letter again from the beginning, in case there were any details that had been overlooked.

Then, he folded the letter and sat in the rented house to meditate.

Although his parents repeatedly urged him to believe them in the letter, he honestly didn't fully believe what the letter contained.

To say why, one is that the content itself is too bizarre, and the other is that gamblers have no credibility.

There are so many gamblers, how many of them can really reform themselves?

In other words, how was he going to make sure that the letters were true and not just some big lie they were telling for his forgiveness?

The contents of the letter were completely their own opinions. As a son, he didn't notice anything unusual about them at the time.

There are ways to prove it, such as obtaining their medical records, which can prove that they were indeed troubled by nightmares, auditory hallucinations and fragments, but this is beyond his ability.

Or get their paintings and sculptures from back then, but most of those things have gone to landfill.

As for other things, like the records of borrowing money or other things, there is no way to prove whether they did it on their own initiative or, as they claimed, they did it involuntarily during the break.

Jiang Chanji didn't completely believe it, but he didn't completely disbelieve it. There are also two reasons. One is that if they lie, they can tell a more credible and true lie. That package started changing after that.

That squid's whiskers... did it take a fancy to me?
He didn't understand what was special about him. Apart from his great strength, he had nothing special about him. Why didn't he choose someone who was so gifted with a disc around his waist and shoulders on his shoulders...

Is strength useful in modern society?
The foreman thought he was good at moving bricks?
Although it brought him into a strange and wonderful world, he didn't appreciate it very much. If what the parents said was true, it really screwed up his parents. Although it didn't hurt their lives, what it did Can't just write it off like this?
And the hardships he endured after dropping out of school, and the integrity he lost in order to get into Hongye Academy, I feel unbearable when I think about it...

And it chose him, it must have its purpose, it is unlikely to be a living **.

In short, it doesn't make any difference whether he believes what the letter says or not, he can't do anything, he can't change anything.

Fortunately, the parents said that they will continue to write letters in the future, so listen to their words and watch their actions.

He put the letter back in the envelope and stuffed it under the mattress and went to sleep.

There is no entertainment equipment in the rental house, unless you regard laba vinegar, chili sauce and coagulated cooling oil as "entertainment equipment".

So he goes to bed early every day.

But even so, today he went to bed earlier than usual because he wanted to see Squid Whiskers in his sleep.

After a day and a night in the forest park, he was exhausted and fell asleep when he lay down.

His consciousness once again returned to the mountains and the sky above the big lake that looked like human structures.

After the light rain last time, this space glowed with more vigorous vitality, especially the green grass by the lake, which was growing vigorously and quietly spreading around.

The water level of the lake has risen again, and it may have rained again while he was away, and the source is the source energy that the guy absorbed from the gorilla.

There are bubbles at the bottom of the lake, and sometimes ripples, like some big fish swimming underwater.

It was actually a fish, just a squid...or some sort of mollusc.

Like every half-grown child with a dream of secondary school, Jiang Chanji also had a moment where he fantasized that what was swimming underwater was a colorful dragon or something... But he really thought too much, why is such a majestic thing? It's not his turn either.

He controlled his consciousness to descend, getting closer to the lake, and then shouted to the lake: "Did you do it? Let my parents have nightmares, auditory hallucinations, fragments, etc., and let them borrow money to gamble during the fragmentation? "

The sound echoed above the lake, and it was impossible for the squid to not hear it, but it kept swimming underwater, without any response or explanation at all.

That’s right, how do humans communicate with squids?
He was not reconciled, and continued to shout: "Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb! If you want to respond, there is always a way to do it, right? Aren't you going to whisper in my parents' ears? Why don't you just whisper to me?"

Still no response.

It probably couldn't whisper to him, otherwise there would be no need to go to such lengths to get his parents to do it.

Fortunately, apart from being frightened, the parents did not suffer any substantial physical damage. Money and other things outside the body did not matter. He could see that as long as he found an opportunity to pay off the debts in the future, the family could be reunited again.

"Why did you choose me? You have to answer this question! What's so special about me?"

This is the question that confuses him and his parents the most. There are billions of sentient beings in the vast world, why is it him?
The bubble moved.

Looking down from the lake, a shadow in the lake accelerated to swim northward, pushing a large amount of lake water into the river on the north bank.

The original river water in the spine-shaped river channel surged, breaking through the mud blocking the way in one go, opening up a new river channel, and in the river network representing the human body, the arms and hands were lit up by the crystal clear lake water.

As a price, the water level of the lake dropped again, very badly, not even the level before the light rain.

This is its answer?
"Go find more prey, continue to cooperate, don't ask too much?"--it is expressing this meaning.

Jiang Chanji is helpless, he can't get rid of this guy for the time being, he really can't do anything now, but he can work hard to become stronger and find a way to deal with it.

He secretly made up his mind that sooner or later, he will have a fire-roasted squid's tail!

Put more peppers!
