"No...this can't be...Mom...is it really you?"
Charles's defense line was gradually defeated. This wisp of smoke-like woman was indeed not a human being. In other words, she was once a human being. Her love and reluctance for her son made part of her energy stay in this world forever. She looked at her son and protected him, but her energy was too weak, so she couldn't even reveal herself. The only thing she could do was to accompany him silently.
"Charlie... I'm sorry... I have seen your grievances and hard work over the years... But mom is useless. I can't do anything except look at you...
"Who are you?"
The man's tone was no longer so aggressive.
"In your level of understanding, you can classify me as a medium."
What I tell Charles about the energy of Yuan Dynasty people will actually arouse his disgust. In the Western concept, all those who can channel spirits are mediums.
"Why couldn't I see my mother before? What did you do?"
"You should be grateful to this geographical environment with long-term polar night. This environment makes your mother's current existence less difficult. You should also know that she is already weak, so her energy is not enough to support her company. The reason why she has been with you for so long, and why she has been hanging around for so many years, is firstly due to the environment here, and secondly because your mother is very cautious. She has never left the medium you kept. Of course, the most important thing is that she cannot let go. You, this is the only reason why she is still wandering around the world today."
"medium?"
The man was a little confused.
His mother floated to the bedroom next door, and then pointed to the bedside, where there was a yellowed photo.
The man picked up the photo from the bedside table and rubbed it carefully with his barbed fingers. "It turns out that what I felt is true... Every time I see this photo and see the mother in the photo, she With my eyes, I felt as if she was gently stroking my back like she did when I was a child...So...when I feel that way, you are always by my side, right, mom?"
The woman cried and nodded heavily. Maybe she had been wandering for too long, or maybe no one had communicated with her for too long. She had gradually forgotten human language and only moved her mouth.
"I, I've always been here." She spelled out this sentence with great effort.
"Let's have a good chat. If you want to find me later, remember, burn this piece of paper and I will be there soon."
I put a piece of yellow paper on his dining table and left the room.
"Sir, Yuanchu, are you sure he will contact you? I don't think this person is that easy to persuade. Do you think he can really tell us about the Rulda people?"
"I'm sure, and it will be very soon, so Halia, I advise you to take the time to relax. We haven't skied for a long time."
"...People from the early Yuan Dynasty, Heishan and Chi You are too busy to touch the ground right now. Do you still have time to ski?"
"Haste makes waste, take it easy, Hariya~"
We rented skateboards at the ski resort and took the cable car directly to the advanced ski trail. There were much fewer people here than the other two ski trails. There was a person in front of us who was making preparations.
I saw him standing on the snow with his feet together. Then, bend your knees, lower your body, hold your ski poles with both hands, and get ready to go.
He moved his legs quickly, his skis crunching on the snow. As his speed increased, he began to spread his body and maintain his balance. Feeling the skis cutting the snow flexibly under your feet brings you excitement and speed.
His body turned flexibly on the snow, sometimes gliding lightly, sometimes spinning and leaping. He showed elegant movements, like a dancing snow deer, dancing freely on the snow.
He drew a streamlined arc on the snow, and as his speed increased, he jumped. He rose like a bird, performing various flips in the air. His body spun in the air and seemed to blend in with the snow.
But the next second, unexpectedly
It just happened. He didn't grasp the foothold well. The moment he landed, his whole body was like a bouncy ball thrown at the corner, rolling to the foot of the mountain and lying motionless.
This sudden change did not attract many people's attention. The person traveling with him cursed in a low voice and then slid to his side. The two people took off the snowboard on him. I saw the person His calves were bent to the side at 720 degrees! What's even more frightening is that the man's neck is hanging limply!
His friend fiddled with his body, and then the stretcher arrived. The strange thing was that everyone seemed to be unfazed by this. They carried the man to the ambulance. Through the car body, I saw what he was wearing. The man in the blue emergency suit took a scalpel and cut open the injured person's neck. Then, those sticky, tentacled bodies gushed out from the small hole like a lump of snot!
Seeing this scene, I thought that here on Earth, people like Charles should be rarer than the local protected animals. It might not be long before he will be transformed by the Roulda people.
Just as I was thinking about him, he came to me.
"What's on the yellow paper you gave him at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty? Why can I contact you if I burn it?"
"Nothing. I didn't go far at all. I kept listening to what was going on in their house."
"...Sir, Yuanchu, you are becoming more and more able to manipulate people's hearts."
"I am also helpless. Many people nowadays like to watch these, so I will show them these. Let's go and see what Charles will spit out."
This time I didn’t sit directly at Charles’s dining table, but knocked on the door. He opened the door, then looked around very cautiously, “Come in.”
"Listen, I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you want, but I will try my best to help you. Of course, I also want to ask you to do me a favor."
"Tell me."
"I hope you can help my mother stop being trapped in a photo."
"Well... I'm afraid I can't help you. There is only one person who can do this."
"who?"
I pointed at him, "Me?" He pointed at himself in disbelief.
"Yes, it's just you. The reason your mother doesn't want to leave is because she can't let you go."
"They will suck souls." Her mother struggled to say, "Save my son."
"I will work for whoever is beneficial to me. Tell me what you want to know."
"I want to know about those Rurda people. Tell me everything you know in as much detail as possible. Also, have you seen this person before?"
I took out the photo of Xiwu and handed it to him. He frowned and looked at it carefully, "I've seen it before, let me think about it..." He touched the stubble on his chin, "I thought about it! When the small town hospital was built, I saw this woman, and she cut the ribbon with the big leader’s team! Just last month!”
