Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 154
{Chapter BGM:Take My Hand—Omar Akram}
Marina was still talking in a low voice.

"I've been thinking, was it a mistake when I came into this world?

I grew up in a rented house and didn't have my own dolls - the dolls in the corner building were communal and usually came to me dirty and worn out - I didn't compete with other people for dolls strength.

I've never felt any good either...if booze and cigarettes and sin were good, I might have.

Is my life sinful?Because everything I do is evil!
If my coming...my life is a mistake, then, does the world have any meaning for me? "

Chen Yan felt something fell on him, it was very light, and after it fell, it spread out on his "surface" and brought him a little warmth.

Those were Marina's tears.

Her voice was full of suppressed pain and fear, but even so, when the words came out of her mouth, they became the unique tenderness of a mother.

"Jack, what's the point of being alive when everyone dies eventually?"

"I'm scared, Jack."

"My child, do you also have to endure the suffering I have experienced?"

"That scares me, Jack, I'm not as open-minded as you..."

"I'm scared of my kid living the same life as me, no matter what his gender, I'm scared he'll end up in a corner building downtown, I'm scared he'll burn out in a sweatshop in an industrial area, I'm scared he'll be a longshoreman, Passed out one night by the pier and died in a canal full of mud and shit."

"If his life is going to be like this—it's likely to be like this, then why should I bring him into this world?"

"I brought him into this world not to hurt him!"

Marina's eyes frantic:
"Bringing him into this world now is already hurting him—just like when my parents brought me into this world back then!"

Seeing Marina's emotions getting more and more agitated, Jack Baldo didn't know how to comfort her. He stuck at the door like a piece of wood, letting himself be anxious and doing nothing.

No one knows why she thought of these things. A corner girl who was born in a corner building in a dirty street, prayed for a life in sin and suffering, and has no worldview of her own, why would she think about the meaning of life?
Is it because of the child in her belly?

Chen Yan looked up and saw Marina's crying face.

He was inexplicably sad, and this feeling was so wonderful that words could not express it.

'Malina...'

He wanted to comfort her, but now he was "just" the child in her womb, and he couldn't open his mouth to make a sound.

So Chen Yan had the desire to speak out.

He was eager to comfort this woman, even though he didn't know where his eagerness came from, that strong desire still made him think again and again:
It would be nice if it could comfort her.

When this desire was so strong that the girl in the corner suddenly looked at him.

A mysterious power that never existed in this world appeared in the hut.

The next moment, Chen Yan's thoughts appeared in Marina's ears.

'Coming into this world is meaningful in itself. '

Marina suddenly raised her head, extremely vigilant.

"who is it!?"

Chen Yan was taken aback.

Jack Baldo outside the door said in a deep voice: "Marlena, what's the matter? Is someone intruding in the house? I'll go in right now!"

Marina got out of the sad state almost instantly, and the outburst of vigilance made her mentally tense to the point where she couldn't do anything more.

"fine……"

She whispered, scanning the surroundings with she-wolf-like eyes, while subconsciously covering her stomach with her hands.

But she didn't see anyone else in the house.

Jack Baldo's steady voice came into the room through the wooden door: "Don't worry, Marina, if an invisible person entered your room, it must be a superhuman... a superhuman cannot do anything to a mortal!"

Marina glanced at the red candle in the corner.

She bought the candle from an elderly sorceress in Building 2 for 247 pence. There will be shaking, and in severe cases, it will even go out directly.

But now, the flame of the red candle was steady, without even a slight wobble.

Marina felt a little relieved.

The originally fragile spirit could no longer support her to continue to tense her will, and the vigilance just now used up her little willpower left.

After relaxing the tense heartstrings, she only felt dizzy, her consciousness was muddled, and her spirit was weak.

Talking to herself, she fell back into thinking about that painful question.

"Why did I bring my child into this world?"

She was so exhausted that she leaned against the head of the bed, half asleep and half awake in a coma.

But even in a coma, she still repeated that sentence.

At the same time, under the blessing of that power that does not exist in this world, Chen Yan's thoughts kept appearing in her ears.

'Marlena, you have experienced half your life's suffering, so you must understand that living is not an easy task. '

Marina heard his voice, but she was too weak, and her spirit could no longer afford her to support her body.

"why……"

She whispered subconsciously.

Even though she was almost in a coma, she still instinctively wanted to know the answers to those questions.

'We are born crying, we die crying, we suffer the pain of life - life is difficult.

But there are always some beautiful things, such as life—life itself is beautiful—from the moment it comes into the world, life is all the beauty in the world.

With life, we can pursue other good things in the world, can't we?
And other good things in the world, including good life itself, are our motivation to overcome difficulties.

Marina, I'm not just talking about your baby, I'm talking about you—

Your life is also beautiful.

Just like the baby in your womb!From the moment you were born into this world as a life, [you] is beauty itself! '

Chen Yan wanted to say something, but felt that something in the baby's body was agitated.

Another consciousness that existed in the baby's body awakened.

Chen Yan's eyes went dark, and he was "squeezed" out.

After a moment.

Marina woke up from a coma, but the previous words echoed in her ears,

She was fascinated by the memories, and she had a lot of thoughts for a while, but the pain in her heart disappeared at a certain point of time that she couldn't perceive.

Jack Baldo's worried voice came from outside the room: "Malina..."

Marina came back to her senses in a daze, her eyes gradually became clear, and her haggard pupils seemed to be illuminated by the red light of the candle.

"He didn't choose to come into this world by himself."

Marina gently stroked her stomach, her movements were gentle, and her tone became firmer.

"I chose to let him come into this world, so I must be responsible to him."

Her will was stronger than ever.

"I want to work harder to live, for my children, for... myself."
