Regarding the formation and origin of the anomaly, Shen Xing has always believed that this is a huge mystery.
But now, right under his nose, at this moment after he encountered the Wall-Facing Man, he finally found that he seemed to be getting close to a certain truth, getting close to the answer to how the anomaly was formed.
The oppression of his parents led Komori to accept everything, but is this the actual situation?
The actual situation is that Komori's inner rebellion is getting more and more serious, and it seems to be suppressed. In fact, his parents' behavior has forced him to embark on another strange path that no one can realize.
In real life, since you can't control your own life and can only obey the mercy of your parents, then find a space where you can escape and form an independent world of consciousness.
The space that allowed Komori to escape and temporarily gain a sense of security was the area facing the wall. Within this area, his conscious world slowly formed, which was the anomaly in his dialogue with Shen Xing.
In addition, once he leaves the wall space and the world he created, he will fall into a life that is not his own and is completely controlled by his parents.
But Shen Xing knew very well that if allowed to develop, the space on this wall would eventually replace his oppressed reality and his resigned self in reality, forming a weird, deformed anomaly that could no longer be measured by reality.
In other words, this anomaly is Komori who is undergoing a change of consciousness at this moment, not a ghost, not some unknown and indescribable foreign object, and not any strange event or creature that Shen Xing understood before.
When Komori's consciousness space is completely transformed, that's when he truly becomes an anomaly. The invisible anomaly that Shen Xing is talking to now can be understood as just the initial form formed by Komori's current consciousness.
This is already a sign.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
After Komori asked this question before he had formed an abnormal dark consciousness, Shen Xing did not answer him, but asked him a rhetorical question.
"Do you like this?"
Komori's dark consciousness answered after about ten seconds, "I like it, I love this feeling so much, no one can take it away from me!"
"But during the day, your instinct is to reject its appearance." Shen Xing reminded.
"That's just instinct. It doesn't explain anything, and it can't really express my attitude." The dark consciousness answered without thinking.
"Then what does your instinctive refusal mean?" Shen Xing asked again.
"It is a continuation of my previous cowardice, hehe..."
Komori's dark consciousness seems to have formed a self-improving theoretical system. If you want to use this system to break through the opponent and expose his loopholes, it may be very difficult.
Shen Xing's heart was spinning, and he guessed that if this continued, he would not be able to convince the child, because the long-term pressure of life had turned his mind into a deformity, with an alternative and extremely terrifying power.
"Hehe... So from now on, this is my world. I will no longer be so cowardly, so helpless, and so at the mercy of others." Dark Consciousness said while smiling.
"Now as long as I want, I can make those people I hate die immediately!" The voice of dark consciousness wandered around the room, coming and going, and soon rang in Shen Xing's ears, "Even you."
Shen Xing immediately changed his location and appeared in the living room.
But at the same moment, the voice in my ears continued to ring, "Now the room is dark and they are asleep. This is my own space, my world! You...don't even want to go there!"
"I didn't want to run away." Shen Xing said with a smile: "I just wanted to see if your parents were really asleep, otherwise they might be so angry and fear for their lives when they see you like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air trembled obviously. It seemed that Komori's dark consciousness was loosened at this moment, and he might also be feeling worried.
But then the invisible pressure formed again.
Shen Xing knew that his dark consciousness had become extremely powerful, and it was impossible for his few words to change his mind.
He spoke again: "If, as you just said, you can let the person you hate die immediately, then may I ask, do you hate your parents?"
As soon as these words came out, the suffocating atmosphere was shaken again. After a moment, Komori's dark consciousness replied: "It's none of your business."
Shen Xing continued to speak: "You hate them, but you have not thought about taking action against them for the time being, but please believe me, this is only temporary. You have begun to accumulate this emotion, and it will explode when you can no longer store it up. . And the consequences of an outbreak at that time will be devastating to you."
After a pause, he added: "Perhaps you will feel very refreshed on that day, but after that, you will fall into endless guilt. No memory will be more sad than this, believe me."
Komori's dark consciousness did not answer, as if it had already left.
But Shen Xing knew that he was still nearby because the weird atmosphere never disappeared.
"Perhaps, you can try another way to communicate with them. For example, tell them directly that you want to take a rest. You can no longer bear the heavy studies and various interest class trainings. You need to relax and be happy..."
"No, impossible! No!"
Before Shen Xing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Komori's dark consciousness.
"Have you tried it?"
"No need to try, I know it without trying, no need to try!"
At this time, in Komori's dark consciousness, he seemed to have seen his father's angry face. He could also feel that the tailbone of his buttocks, where he had just been kicked by his father, was still aching slightly, and the slap on his face was still burning. of pain.
At this moment, his dark consciousness has not yet completely formed a state of confrontation with his parents' instructions. It is still just an instinctive resistance. This resistance is quiet, but it has been accumulating and slowly becoming stronger.
Shen Xing knew very well that this might be Komori's last chance to turn around and make a turn. If allowed to develop, an anomaly called "Wall-Facing Man" would eventually take shape.
After killing his parents, he will continue to devour other people who are in the same situation or have the same emotions, transforming them into one of his own forms.
"Sometimes, if you don't try it, you will never know that you can actually do it!" Shen Xing said firmly and slowly: "Do you think facing the wall is the best way to escape pressure, escape control, and make you feel relaxed? This is just your excuse, a sign that you dare not face difficulties or solve problems, and it is an extremely cowardly choice!"
The dark consciousness did not speak, obviously thinking.
Shen Xing continued: "If you choose cowardice now, it will accompany you throughout your life. Think about it, even if it is your parents, if they cultivate you like this, will it make you become more cowardly in the end? They just want you to become To become stronger, it’s just that you used the wrong method, which made you who you are now. I hope you have a clear understanding of this, instead of being willing to fall under their wrong oppression and make mistakes again and again.”
"I...what should I say?" Dark Consciousness hesitated for a moment and suddenly spoke.
"Tell them directly that you have had enough, and that you will have your own thoughts and choices, instead of completely following their orders." Shen Xing said in a solemn tone, "Tell them that from now on you have to choose your own life. Instead of completely following all the requirements set by them, you end up living as their puppet, a waste who has no happiness or any ideas except studying, and only follows steps all day long!"
As soon as these words came out, the air in the surrounding darkness shook, and the weird atmosphere disappeared instantly. The room was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Shen Xing's perspective changed and she returned to Komori's bedroom. She saw that he was no longer standing facing the wall, but had turned around with tears streaming down his face.
He cried very sadly, just like the dream he had just now, in which someone told him that he must be strong to face it, instead of choosing to avoid the overwhelming pressure from his parents in a cramped and small space.
To be honest, before talking to the person in the dream just now, the idea of destroying life and everything was already budding in Komori's thoughts.
But at this moment, this thought was temporarily suppressed by the man's words.
Komori didn't realize that his dark consciousness had communicated with Shen Xing. He just thought it was a dream.
When I woke up from the dream, I was standing in the corner facing the wall, just like before, alone.
Crying softly, his whole body couldn't stop shaking. Although it was a bit cold without a coat, the coldest place now was Komori's heart.
As he cried, remembering what the man said to him in the dream, he walked towards the door of the small bedroom. His body was shaking and twitching from crying. After reaching the door, he walked towards the living room.
At this time, Xiaomori stopped crying. This was an instinctive behavior caused by fear of his parents. He did not dare to make any noise for fear of waking them up.
But his tears were still rolling down, and his face was covered with tear stains, and his face, which was slightly baby fat, was red.
Step by step, he walked towards his parents' bedroom. The bedroom door was not closed. At this time, a voice rose in his heart, seeming to tell him to give up, turn around and go back quickly, and never touch his parents' bad luck.
Komori stood at the door of the master bedroom, shaking and shaking.
Shen Xing stared at his weak figure from high in the sky, looking at the slightly trembling skirt of his clothes, unable to take his eyes away.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiaomori finally resisted the thought of going back, took a step forward, and walked into his parents' bedroom.
"Dad, mom..."
He opened his lips slightly and shouted, while tears streamed down his face, with an obvious cry.
His parents were startled and both woke up. His mother was surprised and said, "Xiao Sen, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"
My father was also surprised, guessing the same reason.
Komori shook his head and said, "No, mom, dad, there is... something, I want to tell you, I... I..."
"What are you?" my father asked confused.
His second guess was that the kid might have done something wrong and felt uneasy after falling asleep, so he got up and confessed.
Could it be that something valuable at home was damaged?
But basically all the money is spent on the education of the children. Are there any valuables at home?
Komori was still shaking his head, his lips were trembling, and it took him a long time to straighten them out. He said with a trembling voice: "I want to...be myself."
"What did you say?" Father lifted the quilt and sat up.
Mother also put on slippers from the other side of the bed, walked around the bed, and came to Komori's side.
"What are you going to do about yourself?"
Xiaomori finally had the courage. Although he was instinctively afraid when facing his parents, he still said: "I want to choose what I study. I don't want... you to arrange it for me..."
"Did you wake up?" His mother turned on the bedroom light, came over and touched his forehead, "I don't have a fever either!"
Xiaomori seemed to have made up his mind and was no longer timid. He reached out and knocked away his mother's hand that was touching his forehead. His voice rose a bit, "Mom, I have to decide what to study on my own. You... can't keep... putting pressure on me. I I can't stand it, I'm going crazy..."
"Say it again?" Father's face suddenly darkened.
Komori was startled, and the familiar chill surged deep in his heart, but his expression immediately became firm, and he remembered what the man in the dream said to him, and said: "I really...have had enough, and I also have my own thoughts. And choice, not a puppet! You don’t have to learn this and that step by step every day. You have no choice at all. You can only learn and learn every day.”
"At your age, what else can you do if you don't study?" His mother asked, frowning and glancing at her husband behind her carefully.
"Then you hope that I will become a waste who only studies all day long without any happiness or ideas?" Komori stubbornly puffed up his chest. Although his body was still trembling, he did not flinch this time.
"Okay, from now on, you can rest for half an hour more every day." His father said solemnly, while feeling somewhat impressed by his son's performance.
"That's not it!" Xiaomori did not compromise, but instead took a step forward, tears rolling down his face, "Dad, Mom, do you know that I haven't slept well for a whole month? I wake up every night and find out Standing in the corner by myself, I don’t know how long it took me to get up, why did I stand there? Have you ever cared? Haven’t you noticed that I am getting weirder and weirder? I am under so much pressure that I don’t dare to do it all the time. Relax. Your attention, my love, has taken my breath away..."
As he spoke, Komori tugged at the collar around his neck, his expression showing pity, fear, a touch of hysterical madness, and more of a complete powerlessness.
At this moment, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
His mother was panic-stricken and turned to look at her husband. She saw that the other man looked equally horrified. She did not expect that her son had reached this point.
In their impression, although the child was a little dazed at times, he was considered a very obedient child and could perfectly complete the tasks assigned to him according to their own requirements.
It was never expected that Komori's mental endurance had reached such a bad level!
Every night I get up alone and stand facing the wall. Isn't this sleepwalking?
Have you been forced out of sleepwalking by your own couple?
"You have always made your own decisions. You have never asked me, is it okay? Never! Sometimes I feel like a dead person, without my own thoughts or actions. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it." Whatever I do, if I am not satisfied, my father will hit me. I am afraid, I am afraid that he will hit me, and I am afraid that you will be unhappy, so I can only do this. I can't bear it anymore!"
Komori had already ignored him for a long time. He was trembling and crying, while speaking intermittently the words he had buried in his heart for a long time.
The scene freezes.
The mother looked at the father, while the father lowered his head and stared at Komori's slightly trembling feet. The gloom on his face had been replaced by a silent reflection.
"I must tell you today that if you continue like this, I will really go crazy. Although this is not what you expected, it is caused by you!"
After finishing speaking, Komori wiped away his tears, turned around and left his parents' bedroom with a trembling body, and returned to his own small bedroom.
The mother glanced at the father and immediately followed him out, entering her son's room and closing the door. After a while, soft voices were heard.
Komori's father, on the other hand, has been sitting on the edge of the bed, his head slightly lowered, saying nothing.
About forty minutes later, when Komori's mother came out of the small bedroom, she saw her husband standing in the living room, tying together a large pile of extracurricular tutoring books.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Burn it." Xiaomori's father said: "I have figured it out. If this continues, my son may be forced to death. I only have one son. Even if his life is not as good as expected in the future, as long as he can live well."
"Dad." Xiaomori's voice sounded at the door of the small bedroom. He stood there and started sobbing again, his lips trembling and said: "As long as I can choose for myself, I know when to study, and I will choose what I am interested in. to understand."
"well--"
A long sigh came from his father's mouth. The big man wiped away the tears that were about to fall, squatted down, stretched out his hands to Komori, and looked at him with tearful eyes.
Komori moved slightly and quickly ran a few steps forward and rushed into his father's arms. The father and son hugged each other.
His father's guilty whisper rang in Xiaomori's ears, "Dad is too selfish, Daddy is sorry for you!"
boom!
The picture in front of Shen Xing's eyes split into countless small pieces, and the entire scene disappeared.
A line of text prompts appeared in his mind at the same time.
[Wall Facer, current understanding of characteristics is 100%. 】
The familiar scene in hotel room 7088 appeared before us again.
She still maintained her fighting movements with the weird little boy, trying her best to hold his chin that kept getting closer to her neck.
However, the whole movement stopped at this moment. Shen Xing could see that the little boy who was close at hand had a pained expression and had given up the attack.
Facts are facts.
The original facts had been experienced, and even if Shen Xing changed the little boy's spiritual world, he could not undo the fact that he turned into a wall-facer.
The various actions his parents have done to him can no longer be undone through changes in the spiritual world, and all Shen Xing can undo is to arouse Komori's original state of mind.
As for Komori, he is still a wall-facer, a wall-facer whose characteristics are 100% mastered by Shen Xing.
The wall-faced man completely gave up attacking Shen Xing. He lay on the ground with a hunched and thin figure, his face raised. He only had a crying expression and trembling movements, but no tears.
[The understanding of the characteristics of the wall-faced man has reached 100%, and the wall-faced man can be locked. Do you want to do it now? 】
Shen Xing stared at the man facing the wall and murmured to himself, "Maybe it would be the best relief for you not to continue like this."
When he finished speaking, he looked deeply at the little boy who looked up, and said silently in his heart: "Lock."
