Qin Weijie nodded and said nothing more.
The rogue on the side poked Qin Weijie and whispered: "Boss, I can't see you, so your nodding is useless!"
Qin Weijie: "..."
"Pete is dead!" Qin Weijie said.
The little blind man stroked the broken pocket watch. Qin Weijie looked the little blind man up and down. The little blind man should be about the same age as himself. He looked eleven or twelve years old. His skin was dark and he could tell he had gone through many vicissitudes of life.
However, upon hearing that the clown was dead, the little blind man's expression showed no change in emotion: "Did you kill him?"
Qin Weijie's expression changed. This little blind man is not simple. Could it be that he wants to avenge the clown? Qin Weijie frowned, holding the wand in his hand.
"Thank you~"
"Nani? What's the plot?" Qin Weijie was a little confused.
The little blind man suddenly chuckled, and Qin Weijie, who was also a monk two feet tall, was confused. This brother has a split personality, and his brother is also mentally ill? Hereditary mental illness?
After waiting for a moment, the little blind man grinned softly, but there was a hint of sadness and a trace of resentment under the smile. Then the little blind man said: "It's good that my brother is dead~ it's a relief! Haha~ I don't know at this moment Should I cry or laugh...Brother, the hatred between you and me will just disappear!"
"Can you tell me something?" Qin Weijie asked this question out of nowhere, not knowing what was wrong with him. He could have left after giving away the pocket watch.
The so-called 'crystal ball' had nothing to do with him, and the clown's story had nothing to do with him, but out of inexplicable curiosity, Qin Weijie still started gossiping.
"I love my brother very much~ but I also hate him! It was he who protected me and loved me when life was the most difficult, but it was also he who cruelly took away my eyes and made me stay with the darkness for the rest of my life!"
After the little blind man told it, Qin Weijie finally learned the story of the clown sacrifice. It was a sad story, and the war had caused such a tragedy.
The two brothers are considered to be from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Twenty years ago, the war broke out and the Austro-Hungarian Empire split and disappeared in the long history. The parents of the two brothers fled to France with their young brother, settled in Marseille, France, and were born in France. Got off my brother.
The mother of the two brothers was injured in the war twenty years ago, and her mobility was limited and she could only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Fortunately, their father was a circus magician and a wizard.
During the years when I settled in Marseille, my father was a magician and the family's financial situation was still good. My father often took his two brothers to perform in the circus. The older brother would also dress up as a clown to assist his father in his performances.
Although life seems peaceful, in fact, the family is living in trepidation, hiding their names and not daring to reveal any information about them and magic.
Because twenty years ago, that battlefield was not only a war only seen by Muggles, but it eventually became a war in the wizarding world. During the war, the French wizarding world and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire's wizarding world had a deep hatred.
After the victory of the war, the French Ministry of Magic acted as a victor and launched an indiscriminate arrest of the Austro-Hungarian wizards who were like bereaved dogs. Unfortunately, the father of the two brothers had been hiding his identity as a wizard and always warned the two brothers not to reveal their identities.
However, eight years ago, his father died mysteriously, causing this originally prosperous family to lose all financial resources. The younger brother had no choice but to go out and beg for a living under the bell tower, while the elder brother continued to play a clown in the circus.
However, he was born at the wrong time and encountered an unprecedented financial crisis. Instead of making money in the circus, my brother suffered all kinds of insults and bullying. We can always see the clown smiling, but there are tears and bitterness under the paint. But no one knew.
Even though he was bullied all the time, his brother always remembered his father's instructions and would rather be bruised than use any magic ability. However, the more the magic ability is suppressed, the more psychological and spiritual distortions will occur. The brother gradually developed multiple personalities. This is His last layer of protection.
Five years ago, however, everything changed.
Although the elder brother has been hiding his identity as a wizard, the younger brother is unable to control his power because of his young age. Five years ago, the younger brother showed considerable magical talent and awakened a pair of frightening 'magic eyes'.
Just because the awakening of the 'Deceitful Eye' attracted the attention of the Eye of Danatus, they sent people to arrest his brother.
The 'Deceitful Eye' belongs to the spiritual inheritance of the Clown family. His father once had the 'Deceitful Eye', and it was precisely because of this that he was killed eight years ago.
Five years ago, the 'Deceitful Eye' reawakened, and the younger brother became the person valued by the Eye of Danatus. The clown, who had suffered so much for many years, had great malice towards the entire world, and therefore wanted to pursue power. , and finally dug out his younger brother's eyes and joined the Eye of Danatus in his place.
From then on, the clown rarely came back. Every time he came home, he would give a few instructions, arrange some backup, take care of his mother, and then turn around and leave.
Years later, the clown finally died on the road of no return.
The little blind man didn't know what his state of mind was at this time. He was very sad when his brother died, but he felt a little relieved when he saw the villain who dug out his eyes with his own hands, and then felt a little lost after the relief... Mixed feelings crossed his heart, and finally It can only turn into silence.
"The clown is really not a human being! My brother's eyes can be dug out at any time!" Qin Weijie muttered to himself, and then planned to get up and leave.
Just as he stood up, a woman's voice came from upstairs: "Kyle, is Pete back?"
The little blind man heard the woman's voice, quickly straightened his expression, wiped away the small tears that had burst out of his eyes at some point, and responded cheerfully: "No mother! It's a friend of my brother's, and he said he was entrusted by his brother to come here to see me. Look at us.”
"Where's Pete? Why didn't he come back?"
"Hehe, brother is busy! Didn't he tell me last time he came back that his current boss values him very much and he will be promoted in a short time."
Vijay turned to look upstairs and saw a woman in her late fifties sitting in a wheelchair at the stairs on the second floor looking down anxiously.
Suddenly, the woman saw the shabby pocket watch in the little blind man's hand from a distance, and her face suddenly changed. She struggled to stand up, but did not want to turn over and fall, and was about to roll down the stairs on the second floor.
Qin Weijie quickly took out his wand and said: "Yingardim Leviosa"
The floating spell just caught the woman who was about to fall down. Qin Weijie carefully controlled the magic and steadily picked up the old woman down the stairs and placed her on the sofa.
At this time, the old woman looked at the pocket watch in the little blind man's hand excitedly, and said tremblingly: "Kyle~ tell me the truth! Is your brother... is he dead!? This pocket watch belongs to you What his father left for him, he has always carried it with him. Inside is a photo of me holding him when he was a child... Is he dead? Isn't he?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, the little blind man began to look bitter, but what made him bitter was not his brother's death, but his mother's attitude.
Finally all the suppressed emotions broke out, and the little blind man clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "Yes! He is dead! Dead! I knew it a week ago! The candle he left was extinguished! That's why I took you with me Hiding here! You are always Pete, Pete's shout! He is the only one in your heart, but you don't look at who is taking care of you every day! Mom, I have never understood why you are so partial! You just Concerned, what about me? I became blind and couldn’t see anything! But you never comforted me! It would be better if he died! He deserves to die... If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have become blind! "
Qin Weijie was a little embarrassed after witnessing such a family ethics drama. He wanted to leave, but at this moment everyone was paying attention to him, which made him even more embarrassed. Why don't you leave and just watch like this?
While Qin Weijie was thinking, the old woman also shouted hysterically: "Kyle! Shut up! Peter is your brother!"
"I'd rather not have that brother!"
"You...you don't understand anything! You don't understand anything! Your brother didn't do all this for your own good! He didn't become like this just to protect you! What you said is so chilling! "
