Having the Same Name as the Demon Lord of the Abyss
Schizophrenia
Just as Ye Zun was thinking about the current situation between San-gugu and Er-gugu, the sound of a laughing child running over came from the corridor outside the door.
Although it was only for a moment, it was completely unmistakable.
Ye Zun looked at the shut door and suddenly thought of something. Was the second aunt really the youngest one of the twins?
According to what he saw through the ghost’s eyes just before, only the big sister of the twins died. Why would he see the ghosts of both twin sisters in this house?
However, if that was the case, the twin ghosts he saw looked about the same age as he was now, but with the twins he saw in the ghost’s eyes, the older sister was five or six years old when she died, probably a year older than the little boy.
He was confused.
Wait a moment, if the ghost who checked the night found his room, then, would it also go to find the little boy?
Realising this, Ye Zun immediately sat up and got out of bed.
Even though he had become a child, Ye Zun still felt that he was an adult and had the obligation to protect a child. Not to mention, that child also said he would protect him.
Ye Zun put on his slippers, opened the door, and walked out with his footsteps as light as he could get them.
He also really needed to take a look at the villa after half past eight at night. He couldn’t wait for the danger hiding in the dark to kill him and then think about using the save file to solve the problem afterwards.
In the past, he could only do things like this because of how helpless his state as a baby was.
There was a set number on the save files. If the situation did not need one to be consumed, it would not be consumed.
Ye Zun walked in the corridor on the fifth floor.
The villa was very quiet. There was only a dim light on the wall at the corner of the stairs.
After his eyes adapted to the dark, he could also see the surrounding environment in its entirety.
He was not aware of when it changed, but he was no longer afraid of the dark.
The little boy’s room seemed to be on the fourth floor, Gu-laolao’s room was on the first floor, and the two aunts’ rooms were on the second floor.
When Ye Zun arrived on the fourth floor, he had just turned the corner of the stairs and was still wondering which room the little boy was in, when he suddenly saw a person standing in front of the door of a room on the fourth floor.
That person was wearing a white nightgown, looking like a translucent ghost. Something she held behind her back refracted the dim light.
It was a knife!
Ye Zun’s eyelids jumped.
The woman bent her waist slightly, as if she was peeping through the door.
——Gugu!
The immature and mutilated vocal cords made an indistinct sound, like some kind of mysterious creature of the night.
The woman was startled by the sudden sound he made and froze in place, jolting in shock.
She paused, then turned to look at Ye Zun at the other end of the corridor.
Click, the door suddenly opened.
Light shone on the face of the woman outside the door and she unconsciously avoided the glare of the light.
“Do you need something?” The little boy who took half a step out the door stood in the corridor, slightly leaning on the door frame, softly asking a question.
Ye Zun’s eyes opened wide and saw that the woman standing outside the little boy’s door, who held a knife in her hand, turned out to be the long haired San-gugu!
How could it be her?
When he originally saw the past through the ghost’s eyes, Ye Zun already trusted San-gugu’s words and felt that Er-gugu was the bad guy peeping in the dark. But, why was San-gugu also doing such suspicious things?
San-gugu subconsciously wanted to hide the knife in her hand, but after a pause, she let it hang down without concealing it. It was as if, because Ye Zun already had seen it, she didn’t even need to cover it up.
Her wooden face was expressionless, as usual. “I couldn’t sleep so I got up to peel an apple to eat. Do you boys want some?”
There was silence.
Ye Zun couldn’t speak and the little boy was an autistic child who did not know the ways of the world.
What’s more, her words were truly too ungrounded.
“Nevermind then, if you don’t want to eat.” San-gugu didn’t think that there was anything wrong with her behaviour at all, and felt absolutely no guilt. Her attitude was a little cold. She turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly seemed to remember something.
Her steps paused, and after hesitating for a moment, she glanced at the little boy, then at Ye Zun. “Did you two see someone appear around here, just now?”
The little boy innocently said, “Are you talking about yourself?”
“I mean before me.” San-gugu looked like she was running out of patience, but also like she was afraid of something. The fingers holding the knife tightened slightly, but she took a small step back, frowning while she patiently said, “Before me, someone else showed up…did you not see? Forget it, you boys should go back to your room early and rest, don’t open the door for no reason.”
She looked at Ye Zun and finished speaking. Seeing that Ye Zun was still standing there, she pursed her lips even though she looked like she wanted to say something. With a heavy heart, she turned around and walked away.
Ye Zun watched her go downstairs.
“Little mute, come in ba.” Behind him, the little boy standing outside the door spoke to him.
Ye Zun paused then followed him into the bedroom.
The little boy’s room was different from Ye Zun’s. It looked like a tidy and concise display. Rather than a child’s room, it looked more like an adult’s.
He sat on the bed and motioned for Ye Zun to come over and sit.
There was a rug on the bedroom floor and their slippers were left at the door when they entered.
It was very comfortable to step on with bare feet.
“Did you have a nightmare and can’t fall asleep?” The little boy patted Ye Zun’s head, like a big brother to a little brother.
This sense of misplacement was a little strange. Ye Zun looked into the boy’s eyes, not knowing how to convey his meaning.
He saw the sketch pad on the table and walked over to grab it, drawing things out with simple strokes.
——Have you ever noticed that there is a pair of twin girls in the house? They are ghosts.
He purposely drew the people to be more scary, drawing a ghostie* just like the spirits in cartoons.
[T/N: 阿飘/a-piao: literally means Floating. kids’ way of calling ghosts, since it’s kinda cute?]
The little boy looked at it, his eyes innocent. “Ghost? I haven’t ah, I’ve never seen anything like that.”
——Does someone open your door at night and come in to check on you?
“Probably ba, Nainai, Gufu, and both Gugu, they will all come in, I’ve seen them all.”
Ye Zun was a little at a loss.
——Then, if they find out that you are not sleeping, what will happen?
The little boy raised his eyebrows. He seemed to smile, just a little. “Nothing happens ah. Could it be, do you really believe that they will hit you because you are not asleep?”
Ye Zun pursed his lips and silently sighed.
——There are ghosts in my room, I saw it. Wwo little girls, and a woman with long hair and a very white face.
The little boy looked at Ye Zun gently and dependably. “Sleep with me ba, I’m not scared of ghosts.”
Ye Zun shook his head and pulled at his hand.
——It’s not a nightmare, there really are ghosts!
The little boy looked into Ye Zun’s eyes, his expression calm. “I know ah, I believe you.”
Ye Zun could not understand. If so, why was he still so calm?
The little boy smiled a little, with some undisciplined innocence that did not belong to a child. He lightly touched Ye Zun’s neck, near where the vocal cords were. “Little mute, people can also harm you, why are you so especially afraid of ghosts? Compared to the people who have died, aren’t the living ones more terrifying.”
Ye Zun was stunned, and recalled what he had seen in the ghost’s eyes just before.
——Er-gugu.
He wrote and drew, doing all he could to look at the little boy, wanting to make him feel the message he wanted to convey.
——Er-gugu is not a good person, you must be careful.
The little boy took the paper with Ye Zun’s drawing and tore it to pieces, bit by bit, until whatever was on it was unrecognisable.
“Go to sleep ba.” He held Ye Zun’s hand, blinked, and spoke calmly.
Ye Zun suddenly understood something. He felt a chill on his back and subconsciously wanted to turn his head back to look.
The little boy subtly shook his head, hinting with his eyes, “It’s the same as what I told you in the toy room…”
The toy room had surveillance cameras, which meant, his room also had them? Or did he mean, it included Ye Zun’s room?
“…want to sleep together?” The little boy returned to their old topic naturally.
Ye Zun nodded.
The two slept on the little boy’s big and spacious bed. The lights were switched off and they hid under the blanket.
The little boy gently stroked the hair by Ye Zun’s ear, his voice so very light, like a whisper.
“From now on, even at home, do not be alone. Stay with me.”
He said.
“Sleep ba.”
Ye Zun closed his eyes.
He initially wanted to rethink the situation they were met with and guess what Er-gugu might do, and the ways they could deal with it, but he quickly fell asleep under his weariness.
But the little boy did not sleep. Embracing Ye Zun, cold eyes looked towards the door.
There was no fear or unease in those clear eyes. What was in them, was a chilling arrogance that did not belong to a child.
Outside the door, a black shadow holding a knife was projected on the corridor wall, walking past one door after another, before slowly disappearing.
……
Ye Zun was woken up by the sounds of a quarrel.
The little boy was not in bed when he woke up.
Ye Zun put on his slippers and walked out.
The sun was almost up and the faint light of the sky came in through the window.
Er-gugu’s voice carried fire as she tried to remain calm. “Not sleeping for half the night, standing outside the door with a knife, like a ghost, what on earth do you want?”
The third aunt’s voice was sharp, like a miserable ghost. “You still have the nerve to fight back? The real one who is like a ghost, isn’t that you? Isn’t it because of you constantly harbouring evil intentions that I became so neurotic?”
“Even you know that you are neurotic ah, I was sleepy properly, why is it me who harbours evil intentions? Did you have to wake everyone up?”
“That’s right ah, it’s best if everyone wakes up. Sleep, what sleep, people will get killed in their sleep one day and have no idea what happened.”
“San-mei, calm down a little. Did you have a nightmare? You must have misunderstood something, your Jiejie has been sleeping all this time, she never went out.” Er-gufu’s voice was gentle.
But San-gugu did not appreciate this kindness and coldly laughed. “Sleeping in her room, all this time? Then what is going on now? Is the person standing here a ghost? How long have you known her, is it as long as I have known her? Do you know what kind of person she is?”
“Noises, noises, noises, what in the world is going on here?” Gu-laolao was also woken up and her words were very unhappy.
Er-gugu immediately said, “Who knows why she lost her mind, I got up to drink water, and she quietly appeared behind me with a knife in her hand. I was scared to death, I didn’t say anything, but she looked at me with much resentment, like a ghost, saying stuff like I had bad intentions towards her first. We tell you to go out and find a serious job and you won’t do it. It’s whatever if you stay at home everyday drawing, but your drawings achieve nothing, and what’s more, you’re getting more and more insane. Go to the hospital as soon as possible and get your brain checked out, don’t scare the rest of the family into developing mental illnesses as well!”
“Lao-san*, what’s going on? Is what your Jiejie said true?” Gu-laolao’s voice was solemn.
[T/N: 老三/lao-san, old three (third-born child)]
San-gugu was shaking with fury. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “Don’t you try to divert people’s attention. That’s not what you said when these people hadn’t woken up yet. You said you just wished everyone would die, that all the money in the family should be yours. You said you just wanted to drive me insane, that it’s best if I turn out to be like your mother who killed your sister, and kill everyone!”
Er-gugu instantly burst into tears out of anger, crying like she was having a breakdown, almost unable to speak properly. “Are you even saying human words? If you slander me, then whatever, how can you stab me where it hurts the most? You specifically bring up my mother and my sister. My mother suffered from depression. Why did my mother turn out like this? Isn’t it thanks to your mother and you? I don’t hate you, good for you, so you come and beat me down first? You’re not human, you’re simply a demon!”
“San-mei, apologise to your sister, you’ve gone too far!” Er-gufu’s voice also became severe.
San-gugu sneered. “Pretend, still continuing to pretend? So filial. Every year, have you ever gone to burn paper for your mother? Do you still remember where her grave is, and what year is it written on it? What is the difference in our ages, don’t you know? How did my mother and I kill your mother and sister two years in advance?”
Er-gugu was crying so much she almost fainted. “Stop it, stop talking, I don’t dare, I don’t dare go to see them. Even now, I have nightmares all the time, dreaming that my mother and sister are still in the house, asking me why I didn’t die with them, I don’t dare ah.”
San-gugu had no mercy. “You don’t dare, so you can just talk nonsense, constantly slandering me and my mother, the mistress is the third party?”
“I didn’t slander anyone, you were still young at the time, you had no idea what the truth was, and Father would only pretend everything was going well. Something like that happening, how would he dare let your mother come forward at that time, so how could he possibly let you know the truth…but I saw it with my own eyes. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask your mother, see if she dares to tell the truth?”
San-gugu glared at her coldly. “I never understood why you dare to tell all sorts of lies. Lies that can be so easily exposed, and you can say it without changing your face. Now I know, because no matter what turns out to be the truth, you can find excuses to keep yourself innocent. I have been deceived by you since I was a child. If it wasn’t for my careful investigations, how could I not know that you are still here deceiving these people?”
Er-gugu cried until she couldn’t breathe. “Where’s the evidence, didn’t you investigate? Bring out the evidence for everyone to see ah.”
San-gugu was startled. “I originally had it, but Father confiscated it after reading it, saying that you are very pitiful, that it was only like this because you were blinded by hatred, saying that it is his fault. Then, Father died not long after that. Yes, Father was also driven to death by you, Jiejie. You told me this too. You have always hated him.”
Er-gugu looked at her bitterly with tears streaming down her face. “You really have gone insane, you can say these things that have no logic to them. If I really did these things as you said, why should I tell you? Am I not afraid of you telling everyone? Am I not afraid of you recording me? Am I not afraid of you reporting the police to expose me? Am I a fool?”
San-gugu was expressionless. “No, of course you’re not, I am the one who is the fool. Why can’t I be like you, recording these things anytime? You can do these things as you please ba, these people won’t believe me anyway, but why did you tell me? You have tortured me like this since I was a child. All your evil deeds and all your true colours, only I know them all, but you have the ability to make everyone not believe a word I say, you make it impossible for me to speak for myself.”
Er-gugu just cried. Gufu comforted her, and Gu-laolao also comforted her. Evidently, San-gugu was right. Everyone was on the second aunt’s side, and they would never believe the words she said. They looked at her with nothing but indifference, disgust and fear.
San-gugu looked at everyone, straight and direct. “Aren’t you the ones who have gone insane? Look at the cameras in the house, all of you believing in what she says, is it for the family’s safety? Is there not a single normal person that feels like something is wrong? She is watching everyone behind our backs. Every move you make, she knows it all.”
Gu-laolao couldn’t listen anymore. She sighed, and said earnestly, “Lao-san, I asked your brother-in-law to set up the cameras. Your sister doesn’t know about it. It has nothing to do with her, and, everything is locked. I am old, and the two children are still young. Your sister and them, it is also for safety. If you don’t like it, we will take down all the ones on the second floor tomorrow.”
San-gugu immediately said, “Okay ah, quickly take them down, it’s best to take it all down.”
Er-gugu held back her tears. “Don’t push for more*, relying on Mum to keep on talking…”
[T/N: literally, given an inch, taking a mile]
San-gugu laughed mockingly. “Mum? Speaking so affectionately, even when you clearly talked about an old hag who just won’t die, grinning and telling me how you plan to kill her, there are enough tricks for her to die tens of times over.”
Er-gugu shook her head as if she was hopeless, like she was fed up. “If I really did these things, why is Mum still alive? Aren’t you just talking nonsense? Don’t you want a single lick of logic?
“That’s because I’ve always had my eyes on you!” San-gugu stared directly at everyone like a ghost, looking at Gu-laolao. “It’s me who doesn’t dare to close my eyes so I can keep watching her, it’s me who is doing my best to protect you all, but it’s you lot who stand together on the devil’s side, and not a single one of you believes me.”
The second aunt was beside herself, looking at her in disbelief, with a speechless and ridiculing expression on her face.
Gu-laolao looked at Er-gugu. “Child, don’t be sad, your little sister may really be sick and is spouting nonsense.”
Gufu said, “Mum, I’ll contact the doctor to give San-mei a check-up after the sun sets ba.”
San-gugu grasping at her hair. Her hand was still holding onto the knife. Her nervous appearance really did make her look like she was mentally ill.
“I get it now. You weren’t speaking the truth. You are not aiming for them, you are aiming for me. Your target is me. Do you want to drive me insane? But don’t you be complacent, because if I really go insane, you better be careful.”
A eerie and terrifying smile showed her face, and she stared at Er-gugu with empty eyes, like a real ghost.
Gufu immediately protected Er-gugu and backed up, preventing the crazy San-gugu from hurting her.
San-gugu seemed to suddenly relax a lot, and waved with the knife in her hand. “Whatever I say next is just the words of a madman. Believe it or not, Mum, although you don’t like me, I don’t hate you, I feel sorry for you. You still don’t know this ba, Da-ge, that is, your most beloved son, was driven to death by this woman. Because she saw that Dad remarried again, and held Da-ge with high importance, she was particularly worried that Da-ge would rob her of the inheritance. From the day you and Dad got married, she gave birth to the idea of killing Da-ge.”
Gu-laolao was stunned where she stood.
“Mum, don’t believe her, I didn’t, I never thought about Dad’s business, you know that.”
San-gugu smiled slyly. “You must know that the driver who caused the accident was a drunk driver, who fled from the scene and into a construction site. He caught fire and was burned to death. But you don’t know, it was Jiejie who killed him to silence him.”
Gu-laolao’s face turned white. “If that’s true, why didn’t you report to the police and tell people earlier. Your sister was obviously with us at the time.”
San-gugu smiled very happily. “I was also with all of you. Mum, can guess how I know? Of course it was my good Jiejie who lied on my bed and told me, she always does this, she must tell all the evil she has done, so I can live and grow up like this. She kept me alive and made all of you hate me, just to keep me listening to how much she has done and how she has gotten away with all of it.”
Gu-laolao snapped, “How did she do it?”
Er-gugu was stupefied. “Mum, don’t believe her…”
“I don’t believe her!” Gu-laolao didn’t look at her. Her face was gloomy and she angrily said, “I just want to know what she has to say.”
San-gugu’s expression was complicated, and there were traces of pity in her eyes towards someone who didn’t know the truth. “I don’t know. She once said, her mother and sister have always been following her, and will help her do everything for her. There are ghosts who helped her do all this.”
This statement sounded too fake and illogical.
Er-gugu just cried with tears in her eyes, stuck in a dazed state, lost in despair, without saying a single excuse.
Gufuf couldn’t help but shake his head. “San-mei, if your sister has so much otherworldly powers, she can just have the ghosts kill people directly. Why would she need to get other people to kill for her, then let the ghosts silence them? You really must be dreaming ba, that’s why there’s no logic in what you say.”
San-gugu’s eyes were wholly at a loss, as if she briefly regained her sanity after an episode entering psychosis. “That’s right ah, I really don’t know which sentences you said are true and which ones are false. What the hell do you want to do? Or is this your final goal, doing completely unnecessary things so that even if they are exposed, other people would also think there’s no logic to it all, and would not believe it.”
She looked at Er-gugu, then at Gu-laolao, at Ye Zun and the little boy beside him.
“Da-ge was a very good person. Although he didn’t like me, he didn’t hate me either. Even if you guys don’t like me, you are still my relatives, and I feel it is my responsibility to protect you.”
Gu-laolao’s face was cold. “If he really was as good as you say, why do you act that way towards your nephew? You wouldn’t do all these things if you had the slightest sympathy for children. Didn’t you hold him once, and say that you would protect him with so much affection? Afterwards, did you think that everyone can’t see what kind of eyes you use to look at him? Is there a single person you like in this family?”
San-gugu shook her head and stepped back, looking at the little boy in fear. “He is not.”
Her eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost, looking at Gu-laolao as if she was neurotic. “Mum, do you remember the last time the whole family went to the amusement park together? Xiao-Lin* fell to his death because of her. There was a problem with the safety belt. She did it on purpose, she planned it all. But, when I ran back to tell you, he was just standing next to you, completely unscathed. Mum, your grandson is dead, this person is a ghost!”
[T/N: same character Lin as our ML (’cause he is our ML)]
Her words and expressions made everyone break out in cold sweat in broad daylight.
But the little boy just stood there. Ye Zun had been in contact with him before. He did not have the air of a ghost at all, he was a real person.
So far, all the things San-gugu had said could be proved to be false, which made her other claims unable to withstand scrutiny.
Even Ye Zun, who had seen ghosts with his own eyes and even looked into the past, still couldn’t completely trust her every word.
However, Ye Zun did not trust Er-gugu even more.
Even though, from before to now, there was nothing suspicious about the expression on her face; it was impeccable.
“En, what she said is true.” The little boy suddenly spoke up, looking at Gu-laolao and lightly saying, “Because the safety belt was not fastened, I fell off. But since I fell when the ride was just starting, I wasn’t hurt, and I came back by myself.”
Gu-laolao looked at him, distressed. “No wonder you didn’t want to go out to play afterwards.”
Now, the way she looked at her second daughter and son-in-law changed a little.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, they originally were responsible for taking the child out to play, but this kind of accident happened, and the inheritance could indeed be a motive for them to kill their nephew.
Er-gugu didn’t make any excuses and looked at Gu-laolao guiltily. “It was me who didn’t take good care of the child at the time, I should have checked it again myself after the staff did, but I really don’t understand those things. I have always blamed myself for Xiao-Lin falling down.”
San-gugu looked at her in astonishment. “What are you talking about ah, you and I clearly saw him fall from such a high place, he really died, and you even laughed. Before he fell, you told me what you did, you just wanted me to watch him die, why were you not the slightest bit scared when you saw his ghost later? He won’t let you go!”
Er-gugu looked guilty and helpless, but there was no fear. “It was me who didn’t take good care of the child. I admit that I was wrong. You can say whatever you want, but don’t damn the child. He is fine, it was just falling from the chair height. Why do you keep saying that he is dead?”
Gu-laolao should have vented her anger on Er-gugu, but San-gugu inappropriately exclaimed that the little boy must be dead, which directed Gu-laolao’s disgust towards her.
“All of you shut your mouths. If this family can’t survive, you can all move out and fight however you like for your father’s share of the family property. I must leave this share of the Ye residence to my grandson. Let me see who dares to have crooked thoughts.”
Er-gugu sobbed and choked. “Mum, you’re saying this to punish me. I’ve never had a mother since I was a child. You’ve been so kind to me, how could I do such a thing for money? I also came from a family with money when I was younger, I’ve never lived a period of time where I lacked money, so how could I be so short sighted*?”
[T/N: literally, have shallow eyelids (?)]
San-gugu roared with laughter and almost laughed until she lost her temper. “Jiejie, you didn’t take a look at all the jewellery on your body before you said that. You won’t even wear pyjamas and slippers if they aren’t from famous brands. The knives you used to kill people are probably worth hundreds of thousands. In this family, no one loves money more than you. Anyone can say that they wouldn’t do such things for money. Only you, would do anything for money.”
The only simple thing about Er-gugu was that she married a man without money.
The man glanced at his wife, then bowed his head slightly to admit his mistake. “Mum, you should calm down, we should still have a doctor take a look at San-mei.”
No matter how extravagantly Er-gugu lived, the accusations made by San-gugu really sounded more like she had mental problems .
She didn’t accept the doctor visiting and forced everyone to retreat with the knife, locking herself in the art studio alone.
“I’m not sick. If I really am sick, I’ve been sick for the twenty-plus years where I’ve been growing up with her. Right now, my spirit has never been better. I have said everything I need to say. The rest of it, life or death, has nothing to do with me. If you are smart, live, if you are stupid, just die ba. I only pity the two children, but this is their fate.”
Er-gugu cried for a long time until her tears ran dry. She sat on the couch in a daze, not offering a single word to defend herself.
“Mum, I know that after all the fuss she made, no matter how innocent everyone is, when it comes to money, Da-ge’s death, and the two children, even I can’t trust myself. You don’t have to comfort me either, just say everything is fine. My wife and I, we should still move out ba.”
Gufu gave a few words to make peace, but he didn’t object to moving out.
Gu-laolao naturally believed her wholeheartedly, but both inside and outside of the conversation, there was no strong objection to them moving out.
Er-gugu said, “We can move at any time, but San-mei absolutely cannot live with you all in her current state. We have to make the proper arrangements for her before we can leave in peace.”
There was not a single thing wrong with her statement. No matter how one looked at it, all the words were bright and straightforward.
So Gu-laolao agreed, looking at her the same way as she did before.
Gufu first found an authoritative psychiatrist and wanted to give San-gugu a psychiatric diagnosis first.
The professional team of doctors quickly thought of a way to restrain the third aunt in her room and forced her to have a diagnosis.
“…schizophrenia…has a tendency to delude herself in being the victim…seems to be caused by long-term depression…has violent tendencies and needs to be admitted…”
In the end, San-gugu was diagnosed with insanity, due to the pressure of her career and interpersonal relationships. All the accusations she made against Er-gugu were from her imagination.
“We must’ve scared you.” Gu-laolao sighed and touched Ye Zun and the little boy’s heads. She looked at Er-gugu with some guilt in her eyes. “You have been wronged. It is also my fault, I never paid attention to her mood.”
Er-gufu also sighed. “We only noticed when she was already this ill.”
Er-gugu cried until her eyes were swollen. “It’s all my fault. I always argued with her, I never worried about how she was.”
San-gugu was really diagnosed as mentally ill and taken away. Ye Zun stood there with cold hands and feet.
Now, he felt that no matter whether San-gugu really was mentally ill or not, everything she said may all be true, it’s just that part of her perception was misled by this woman. And everything the other party did was all for the sake of today.
Even the argument this morning was planned and directed by the woman next to them, in order to completely remove San-gugu from the house.
Gu-laolao was still comforting her.
Ye Zun looked into the little boy’s eyes. They must not let Gu-laolao allow this pair of husband and wife to stay. With San-gugu no longer here, she would definitely make a move on the new target.
The new victim was not Gu-laolao. It was them.
Having the Same Name as the Demon Lord of the Abyss
Schizophrenia
Just as Ye Zun was thinking about the current situation between San-gugu and Er-gugu, the sound of a laughing child running over came from the corridor outside the door.
Although it was only for a moment, it was completely unmistakable.
Ye Zun looked at the shut door and suddenly thought of something. Was the second aunt really the youngest one of the twins?
According to what he saw through the ghost’s eyes just before, only the big sister of the twins died. Why would he see the ghosts of both twin sisters in this house?
However, if that was the case, the twin ghosts he saw looked about the same age as he was now, but with the twins he saw in the ghost’s eyes, the older sister was five or six years old when she died, probably a year older than the little boy.
He was confused.
Wait a moment, if the ghost who checked the night found his room, then, would it also go to find the little boy?
Realising this, Ye Zun immediately sat up and got out of bed.
Even though he had become a child, Ye Zun still felt that he was an adult and had the obligation to protect a child. Not to mention, that child also said he would protect him.
Ye Zun put on his slippers, opened the door, and walked out with his footsteps as light as he could get them.
He also really needed to take a look at the villa after half past eight at night. He couldn’t wait for the danger hiding in the dark to kill him and then think about using the save file to solve the problem afterwards.
In the past, he could only do things like this because of how helpless his state as a baby was.
There was a set number on the save files. If the situation did not need one to be consumed, it would not be consumed.
Ye Zun walked in the corridor on the fifth floor.
The villa was very quiet. There was only a dim light on the wall at the corner of the stairs.
After his eyes adapted to the dark, he could also see the surrounding environment in its entirety.
He was not aware of when it changed, but he was no longer afraid of the dark.
The little boy’s room seemed to be on the fourth floor, Gu-laolao’s room was on the first floor, and the two aunts’ rooms were on the second floor.
When Ye Zun arrived on the fourth floor, he had just turned the corner of the stairs and was still wondering which room the little boy was in, when he suddenly saw a person standing in front of the door of a room on the fourth floor.
That person was wearing a white nightgown, looking like a translucent ghost. Something she held behind her back refracted the dim light.
It was a knife!
Ye Zun’s eyelids jumped.
The woman bent her waist slightly, as if she was peeping through the door.
——Gugu!
The immature and mutilated vocal cords made an indistinct sound, like some kind of mysterious creature of the night.
The woman was startled by the sudden sound he made and froze in place, jolting in shock.
She paused, then turned to look at Ye Zun at the other end of the corridor.
Click, the door suddenly opened.
Light shone on the face of the woman outside the door and she unconsciously avoided the glare of the light.
“Do you need something?” The little boy who took half a step out the door stood in the corridor, slightly leaning on the door frame, softly asking a question.
Ye Zun’s eyes opened wide and saw that the woman standing outside the little boy’s door, who held a knife in her hand, turned out to be the long haired San-gugu!
How could it be her?
When he originally saw the past through the ghost’s eyes, Ye Zun already trusted San-gugu’s words and felt that Er-gugu was the bad guy peeping in the dark. But, why was San-gugu also doing such suspicious things?
San-gugu subconsciously wanted to hide the knife in her hand, but after a pause, she let it hang down without concealing it. It was as if, because Ye Zun already had seen it, she didn’t even need to cover it up.
Her wooden face was expressionless, as usual. “I couldn’t sleep so I got up to peel an apple to eat. Do you boys want some?”
There was silence.
Ye Zun couldn’t speak and the little boy was an autistic child who did not know the ways of the world.
What’s more, her words were truly too ungrounded.
“Nevermind then, if you don’t want to eat.” San-gugu didn’t think that there was anything wrong with her behaviour at all, and felt absolutely no guilt. Her attitude was a little cold. She turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly seemed to remember something.
Her steps paused, and after hesitating for a moment, she glanced at the little boy, then at Ye Zun. “Did you two see someone appear around here, just now?”
The little boy innocently said, “Are you talking about yourself?”
“I mean before me.” San-gugu looked like she was running out of patience, but also like she was afraid of something. The fingers holding the knife tightened slightly, but she took a small step back, frowning while she patiently said, “Before me, someone else showed up…did you not see? Forget it, you boys should go back to your room early and rest, don’t open the door for no reason.”
She looked at Ye Zun and finished speaking. Seeing that Ye Zun was still standing there, she pursed her lips even though she looked like she wanted to say something. With a heavy heart, she turned around and walked away.
Ye Zun watched her go downstairs.
“Little mute, come in ba.” Behind him, the little boy standing outside the door spoke to him.
Ye Zun paused then followed him into the bedroom.
The little boy’s room was different from Ye Zun’s. It looked like a tidy and concise display. Rather than a child’s room, it looked more like an adult’s.
He sat on the bed and motioned for Ye Zun to come over and sit.
There was a rug on the bedroom floor and their slippers were left at the door when they entered.
It was very comfortable to step on with bare feet.
“Did you have a nightmare and can’t fall asleep?” The little boy patted Ye Zun’s head, like a big brother to a little brother.
This sense of misplacement was a little strange. Ye Zun looked into the boy’s eyes, not knowing how to convey his meaning.
He saw the sketch pad on the table and walked over to grab it, drawing things out with simple strokes.
——Have you ever noticed that there is a pair of twin girls in the house? They are ghosts.
He purposely drew the people to be more scary, drawing a ghostie* just like the spirits in cartoons.
[T/N: 阿飘/a-piao: literally means Floating. kids’ way of calling ghosts, since it’s kinda cute?]
The little boy looked at it, his eyes innocent. “Ghost? I haven’t ah, I’ve never seen anything like that.”
——Does someone open your door at night and come in to check on you?
“Probably ba, Nainai, Gufu, and both Gugu, they will all come in, I’ve seen them all.”
Ye Zun was a little at a loss.
——Then, if they find out that you are not sleeping, what will happen?
The little boy raised his eyebrows. He seemed to smile, just a little. “Nothing happens ah. Could it be, do you really believe that they will hit you because you are not asleep?”
Ye Zun pursed his lips and silently sighed.
——There are ghosts in my room, I saw it. Wwo little girls, and a woman with long hair and a very white face.
The little boy looked at Ye Zun gently and dependably. “Sleep with me ba, I’m not scared of ghosts.”
Ye Zun shook his head and pulled at his hand.
——It’s not a nightmare, there really are ghosts!
The little boy looked into Ye Zun’s eyes, his expression calm. “I know ah, I believe you.”
Ye Zun could not understand. If so, why was he still so calm?
The little boy smiled a little, with some undisciplined innocence that did not belong to a child. He lightly touched Ye Zun’s neck, near where the vocal cords were. “Little mute, people can also harm you, why are you so especially afraid of ghosts? Compared to the people who have died, aren’t the living ones more terrifying.”
Ye Zun was stunned, and recalled what he had seen in the ghost’s eyes just before.
——Er-gugu.
He wrote and drew, doing all he could to look at the little boy, wanting to make him feel the message he wanted to convey.
——Er-gugu is not a good person, you must be careful.
The little boy took the paper with Ye Zun’s drawing and tore it to pieces, bit by bit, until whatever was on it was unrecognisable.
“Go to sleep ba.” He held Ye Zun’s hand, blinked, and spoke calmly.
Ye Zun suddenly understood something. He felt a chill on his back and subconsciously wanted to turn his head back to look.
The little boy subtly shook his head, hinting with his eyes, “It’s the same as what I told you in the toy room…”
The toy room had surveillance cameras, which meant, his room also had them? Or did he mean, it included Ye Zun’s room?
“…want to sleep together?” The little boy returned to their old topic naturally.
Ye Zun nodded.
The two slept on the little boy’s big and spacious bed. The lights were switched off and they hid under the blanket.
The little boy gently stroked the hair by Ye Zun’s ear, his voice so very light, like a whisper.
“From now on, even at home, do not be alone. Stay with me.”
He said.
“Sleep ba.”
Ye Zun closed his eyes.
He initially wanted to rethink the situation they were met with and guess what Er-gugu might do, and the ways they could deal with it, but he quickly fell asleep under his weariness.
But the little boy did not sleep. Embracing Ye Zun, cold eyes looked towards the door.
There was no fear or unease in those clear eyes. What was in them, was a chilling arrogance that did not belong to a child.
Outside the door, a black shadow holding a knife was projected on the corridor wall, walking past one door after another, before slowly disappearing.
……
Ye Zun was woken up by the sounds of a quarrel.
The little boy was not in bed when he woke up.
Ye Zun put on his slippers and walked out.
The sun was almost up and the faint light of the sky came in through the window.
Er-gugu’s voice carried fire as she tried to remain calm. “Not sleeping for half the night, standing outside the door with a knife, like a ghost, what on earth do you want?”
The third aunt’s voice was sharp, like a miserable ghost. “You still have the nerve to fight back? The real one who is like a ghost, isn’t that you? Isn’t it because of you constantly harbouring evil intentions that I became so neurotic?”
“Even you know that you are neurotic ah, I was sleepy properly, why is it me who harbours evil intentions? Did you have to wake everyone up?”
“That’s right ah, it’s best if everyone wakes up. Sleep, what sleep, people will get killed in their sleep one day and have no idea what happened.”
“San-mei, calm down a little. Did you have a nightmare? You must have misunderstood something, your Jiejie has been sleeping all this time, she never went out.” Er-gufu’s voice was gentle.
But San-gugu did not appreciate this kindness and coldly laughed. “Sleeping in her room, all this time? Then what is going on now? Is the person standing here a ghost? How long have you known her, is it as long as I have known her? Do you know what kind of person she is?”
“Noises, noises, noises, what in the world is going on here?” Gu-laolao was also woken up and her words were very unhappy.
Er-gugu immediately said, “Who knows why she lost her mind, I got up to drink water, and she quietly appeared behind me with a knife in her hand. I was scared to death, I didn’t say anything, but she looked at me with much resentment, like a ghost, saying stuff like I had bad intentions towards her first. We tell you to go out and find a serious job and you won’t do it. It’s whatever if you stay at home everyday drawing, but your drawings achieve nothing, and what’s more, you’re getting more and more insane. Go to the hospital as soon as possible and get your brain checked out, don’t scare the rest of the family into developing mental illnesses as well!”
“Lao-san*, what’s going on? Is what your Jiejie said true?” Gu-laolao’s voice was solemn.
[T/N: 老三/lao-san, old three (third-born child)]
San-gugu was shaking with fury. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “Don’t you try to divert people’s attention. That’s not what you said when these people hadn’t woken up yet. You said you just wished everyone would die, that all the money in the family should be yours. You said you just wanted to drive me insane, that it’s best if I turn out to be like your mother who killed your sister, and kill everyone!”
Er-gugu instantly burst into tears out of anger, crying like she was having a breakdown, almost unable to speak properly. “Are you even saying human words? If you slander me, then whatever, how can you stab me where it hurts the most? You specifically bring up my mother and my sister. My mother suffered from depression. Why did my mother turn out like this? Isn’t it thanks to your mother and you? I don’t hate you, good for you, so you come and beat me down first? You’re not human, you’re simply a demon!”
“San-mei, apologise to your sister, you’ve gone too far!” Er-gufu’s voice also became severe.
San-gugu sneered. “Pretend, still continuing to pretend? So filial. Every year, have you ever gone to burn paper for your mother? Do you still remember where her grave is, and what year is it written on it? What is the difference in our ages, don’t you know? How did my mother and I kill your mother and sister two years in advance?”
Er-gugu was crying so much she almost fainted. “Stop it, stop talking, I don’t dare, I don’t dare go to see them. Even now, I have nightmares all the time, dreaming that my mother and sister are still in the house, asking me why I didn’t die with them, I don’t dare ah.”
San-gugu had no mercy. “You don’t dare, so you can just talk nonsense, constantly slandering me and my mother, the mistress is the third party?”
“I didn’t slander anyone, you were still young at the time, you had no idea what the truth was, and Father would only pretend everything was going well. Something like that happening, how would he dare let your mother come forward at that time, so how could he possibly let you know the truth…but I saw it with my own eyes. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask your mother, see if she dares to tell the truth?”
San-gugu glared at her coldly. “I never understood why you dare to tell all sorts of lies. Lies that can be so easily exposed, and you can say it without changing your face. Now I know, because no matter what turns out to be the truth, you can find excuses to keep yourself innocent. I have been deceived by you since I was a child. If it wasn’t for my careful investigations, how could I not know that you are still here deceiving these people?”
Er-gugu cried until she couldn’t breathe. “Where’s the evidence, didn’t you investigate? Bring out the evidence for everyone to see ah.”
San-gugu was startled. “I originally had it, but Father confiscated it after reading it, saying that you are very pitiful, that it was only like this because you were blinded by hatred, saying that it is his fault. Then, Father died not long after that. Yes, Father was also driven to death by you, Jiejie. You told me this too. You have always hated him.”
Er-gugu looked at her bitterly with tears streaming down her face. “You really have gone insane, you can say these things that have no logic to them. If I really did these things as you said, why should I tell you? Am I not afraid of you telling everyone? Am I not afraid of you recording me? Am I not afraid of you reporting the police to expose me? Am I a fool?”
San-gugu was expressionless. “No, of course you’re not, I am the one who is the fool. Why can’t I be like you, recording these things anytime? You can do these things as you please ba, these people won’t believe me anyway, but why did you tell me? You have tortured me like this since I was a child. All your evil deeds and all your true colours, only I know them all, but you have the ability to make everyone not believe a word I say, you make it impossible for me to speak for myself.”
Er-gugu just cried. Gufu comforted her, and Gu-laolao also comforted her. Evidently, San-gugu was right. Everyone was on the second aunt’s side, and they would never believe the words she said. They looked at her with nothing but indifference, disgust and fear.
San-gugu looked at everyone, straight and direct. “Aren’t you the ones who have gone insane? Look at the cameras in the house, all of you believing in what she says, is it for the family’s safety? Is there not a single normal person that feels like something is wrong? She is watching everyone behind our backs. Every move you make, she knows it all.”
Gu-laolao couldn’t listen anymore. She sighed, and said earnestly, “Lao-san, I asked your brother-in-law to set up the cameras. Your sister doesn’t know about it. It has nothing to do with her, and, everything is locked. I am old, and the two children are still young. Your sister and them, it is also for safety. If you don’t like it, we will take down all the ones on the second floor tomorrow.”
San-gugu immediately said, “Okay ah, quickly take them down, it’s best to take it all down.”
Er-gugu held back her tears. “Don’t push for more*, relying on Mum to keep on talking…”
[T/N: literally, given an inch, taking a mile]
San-gugu laughed mockingly. “Mum? Speaking so affectionately, even when you clearly talked about an old hag who just won’t die, grinning and telling me how you plan to kill her, there are enough tricks for her to die tens of times over.”
Er-gugu shook her head as if she was hopeless, like she was fed up. “If I really did these things, why is Mum still alive? Aren’t you just talking nonsense? Don’t you want a single lick of logic?
“That’s because I’ve always had my eyes on you!” San-gugu stared directly at everyone like a ghost, looking at Gu-laolao. “It’s me who doesn’t dare to close my eyes so I can keep watching her, it’s me who is doing my best to protect you all, but it’s you lot who stand together on the devil’s side, and not a single one of you believes me.”
The second aunt was beside herself, looking at her in disbelief, with a speechless and ridiculing expression on her face.
Gu-laolao looked at Er-gugu. “Child, don’t be sad, your little sister may really be sick and is spouting nonsense.”
Gufu said, “Mum, I’ll contact the doctor to give San-mei a check-up after the sun sets ba.”
San-gugu grasping at her hair. Her hand was still holding onto the knife. Her nervous appearance really did make her look like she was mentally ill.
“I get it now. You weren’t speaking the truth. You are not aiming for them, you are aiming for me. Your target is me. Do you want to drive me insane? But don’t you be complacent, because if I really go insane, you better be careful.”
A eerie and terrifying smile showed her face, and she stared at Er-gugu with empty eyes, like a real ghost.
Gufu immediately protected Er-gugu and backed up, preventing the crazy San-gugu from hurting her.
San-gugu seemed to suddenly relax a lot, and waved with the knife in her hand. “Whatever I say next is just the words of a madman. Believe it or not, Mum, although you don’t like me, I don’t hate you, I feel sorry for you. You still don’t know this ba, Da-ge, that is, your most beloved son, was driven to death by this woman. Because she saw that Dad remarried again, and held Da-ge with high importance, she was particularly worried that Da-ge would rob her of the inheritance. From the day you and Dad got married, she gave birth to the idea of killing Da-ge.”
Gu-laolao was stunned where she stood.
“Mum, don’t believe her, I didn’t, I never thought about Dad’s business, you know that.”
San-gugu smiled slyly. “You must know that the driver who caused the accident was a drunk driver, who fled from the scene and into a construction site. He caught fire and was burned to death. But you don’t know, it was Jiejie who killed him to silence him.”
Gu-laolao’s face turned white. “If that’s true, why didn’t you report to the police and tell people earlier. Your sister was obviously with us at the time.”
San-gugu smiled very happily. “I was also with all of you. Mum, can guess how I know? Of course it was my good Jiejie who lied on my bed and told me, she always does this, she must tell all the evil she has done, so I can live and grow up like this. She kept me alive and made all of you hate me, just to keep me listening to how much she has done and how she has gotten away with all of it.”
Gu-laolao snapped, “How did she do it?”
Er-gugu was stupefied. “Mum, don’t believe her…”
“I don’t believe her!” Gu-laolao didn’t look at her. Her face was gloomy and she angrily said, “I just want to know what she has to say.”
San-gugu’s expression was complicated, and there were traces of pity in her eyes towards someone who didn’t know the truth. “I don’t know. She once said, her mother and sister have always been following her, and will help her do everything for her. There are ghosts who helped her do all this.”
This statement sounded too fake and illogical.
Er-gugu just cried with tears in her eyes, stuck in a dazed state, lost in despair, without saying a single excuse.
Gufuf couldn’t help but shake his head. “San-mei, if your sister has so much otherworldly powers, she can just have the ghosts kill people directly. Why would she need to get other people to kill for her, then let the ghosts silence them? You really must be dreaming ba, that’s why there’s no logic in what you say.”
San-gugu’s eyes were wholly at a loss, as if she briefly regained her sanity after an episode entering psychosis. “That’s right ah, I really don’t know which sentences you said are true and which ones are false. What the hell do you want to do? Or is this your final goal, doing completely unnecessary things so that even if they are exposed, other people would also think there’s no logic to it all, and would not believe it.”
She looked at Er-gugu, then at Gu-laolao, at Ye Zun and the little boy beside him.
“Da-ge was a very good person. Although he didn’t like me, he didn’t hate me either. Even if you guys don’t like me, you are still my relatives, and I feel it is my responsibility to protect you.”
Gu-laolao’s face was cold. “If he really was as good as you say, why do you act that way towards your nephew? You wouldn’t do all these things if you had the slightest sympathy for children. Didn’t you hold him once, and say that you would protect him with so much affection? Afterwards, did you think that everyone can’t see what kind of eyes you use to look at him? Is there a single person you like in this family?”
San-gugu shook her head and stepped back, looking at the little boy in fear. “He is not.”
Her eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost, looking at Gu-laolao as if she was neurotic. “Mum, do you remember the last time the whole family went to the amusement park together? Xiao-Lin* fell to his death because of her. There was a problem with the safety belt. She did it on purpose, she planned it all. But, when I ran back to tell you, he was just standing next to you, completely unscathed. Mum, your grandson is dead, this person is a ghost!”
[T/N: same character Lin as our ML (’cause he is our ML)]
Her words and expressions made everyone break out in cold sweat in broad daylight.
But the little boy just stood there. Ye Zun had been in contact with him before. He did not have the air of a ghost at all, he was a real person.
So far, all the things San-gugu had said could be proved to be false, which made her other claims unable to withstand scrutiny.
Even Ye Zun, who had seen ghosts with his own eyes and even looked into the past, still couldn’t completely trust her every word.
However, Ye Zun did not trust Er-gugu even more.
Even though, from before to now, there was nothing suspicious about the expression on her face; it was impeccable.
“En, what she said is true.” The little boy suddenly spoke up, looking at Gu-laolao and lightly saying, “Because the safety belt was not fastened, I fell off. But since I fell when the ride was just starting, I wasn’t hurt, and I came back by myself.”
Gu-laolao looked at him, distressed. “No wonder you didn’t want to go out to play afterwards.”
Now, the way she looked at her second daughter and son-in-law changed a little.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, they originally were responsible for taking the child out to play, but this kind of accident happened, and the inheritance could indeed be a motive for them to kill their nephew.
Er-gugu didn’t make any excuses and looked at Gu-laolao guiltily. “It was me who didn’t take good care of the child at the time, I should have checked it again myself after the staff did, but I really don’t understand those things. I have always blamed myself for Xiao-Lin falling down.”
San-gugu looked at her in astonishment. “What are you talking about ah, you and I clearly saw him fall from such a high place, he really died, and you even laughed. Before he fell, you told me what you did, you just wanted me to watch him die, why were you not the slightest bit scared when you saw his ghost later? He won’t let you go!”
Er-gugu looked guilty and helpless, but there was no fear. “It was me who didn’t take good care of the child. I admit that I was wrong. You can say whatever you want, but don’t damn the child. He is fine, it was just falling from the chair height. Why do you keep saying that he is dead?”
Gu-laolao should have vented her anger on Er-gugu, but San-gugu inappropriately exclaimed that the little boy must be dead, which directed Gu-laolao’s disgust towards her.
“All of you shut your mouths. If this family can’t survive, you can all move out and fight however you like for your father’s share of the family property. I must leave this share of the Ye residence to my grandson. Let me see who dares to have crooked thoughts.”
Er-gugu sobbed and choked. “Mum, you’re saying this to punish me. I’ve never had a mother since I was a child. You’ve been so kind to me, how could I do such a thing for money? I also came from a family with money when I was younger, I’ve never lived a period of time where I lacked money, so how could I be so short sighted*?”
[T/N: literally, have shallow eyelids (?)]
San-gugu roared with laughter and almost laughed until she lost her temper. “Jiejie, you didn’t take a look at all the jewellery on your body before you said that. You won’t even wear pyjamas and slippers if they aren’t from famous brands. The knives you used to kill people are probably worth hundreds of thousands. In this family, no one loves money more than you. Anyone can say that they wouldn’t do such things for money. Only you, would do anything for money.”
The only simple thing about Er-gugu was that she married a man without money.
The man glanced at his wife, then bowed his head slightly to admit his mistake. “Mum, you should calm down, we should still have a doctor take a look at San-mei.”
No matter how extravagantly Er-gugu lived, the accusations made by San-gugu really sounded more like she had mental problems .
She didn’t accept the doctor visiting and forced everyone to retreat with the knife, locking herself in the art studio alone.
“I’m not sick. If I really am sick, I’ve been sick for the twenty-plus years where I’ve been growing up with her. Right now, my spirit has never been better. I have said everything I need to say. The rest of it, life or death, has nothing to do with me. If you are smart, live, if you are stupid, just die ba. I only pity the two children, but this is their fate.”
Er-gugu cried for a long time until her tears ran dry. She sat on the couch in a daze, not offering a single word to defend herself.
“Mum, I know that after all the fuss she made, no matter how innocent everyone is, when it comes to money, Da-ge’s death, and the two children, even I can’t trust myself. You don’t have to comfort me either, just say everything is fine. My wife and I, we should still move out ba.”
Gufu gave a few words to make peace, but he didn’t object to moving out.
Gu-laolao naturally believed her wholeheartedly, but both inside and outside of the conversation, there was no strong objection to them moving out.
Er-gugu said, “We can move at any time, but San-mei absolutely cannot live with you all in her current state. We have to make the proper arrangements for her before we can leave in peace.”
There was not a single thing wrong with her statement. No matter how one looked at it, all the words were bright and straightforward.
So Gu-laolao agreed, looking at her the same way as she did before.
Gufu first found an authoritative psychiatrist and wanted to give San-gugu a psychiatric diagnosis first.
The professional team of doctors quickly thought of a way to restrain the third aunt in her room and forced her to have a diagnosis.
“…schizophrenia…has a tendency to delude herself in being the victim…seems to be caused by long-term depression…has violent tendencies and needs to be admitted…”
In the end, San-gugu was diagnosed with insanity, due to the pressure of her career and interpersonal relationships. All the accusations she made against Er-gugu were from her imagination.
“We must’ve scared you.” Gu-laolao sighed and touched Ye Zun and the little boy’s heads. She looked at Er-gugu with some guilt in her eyes. “You have been wronged. It is also my fault, I never paid attention to her mood.”
Er-gufu also sighed. “We only noticed when she was already this ill.”
Er-gugu cried until her eyes were swollen. “It’s all my fault. I always argued with her, I never worried about how she was.”
San-gugu was really diagnosed as mentally ill and taken away. Ye Zun stood there with cold hands and feet.
Now, he felt that no matter whether San-gugu really was mentally ill or not, everything she said may all be true, it’s just that part of her perception was misled by this woman. And everything the other party did was all for the sake of today.
Even the argument this morning was planned and directed by the woman next to them, in order to completely remove San-gugu from the house.
Gu-laolao was still comforting her.
Ye Zun looked into the little boy’s eyes. They must not let Gu-laolao allow this pair of husband and wife to stay. With San-gugu no longer here, she would definitely make a move on the new target.
The new victim was not Gu-laolao. It was them.
