19. It's Nini
Xia Yi found that this study looked familiar to him.
But he has obviously never been here.
When he was here as a heavenly master, he was not allowed to go up to the third floor.
Frowning, Xia Yi pondered for a long time before finding the familiar source from his memory.
He saw it in his dream!
That was a dream he had when he was still in the foreign mansion.
In the dream, a ten-year-old girl and a middle-aged man in his thirties folded paper cranes together.
That was no ordinary dream, it was also the result of the activation of psychic talent!
In other words, there was a sludge monster in that dream.
Is that man in his thirties a sludge monster?
The two psychic dreams are at different times, so the sludge monster is a teenager in the dream by the well, but becomes middle-aged in the dream in the study?
Xia Yi felt that he had made something wrong. Although the young man in the dream by the well was still handsome, he was far less handsome than the middle-aged man in the dream in the study.
So these two are actually not sludge monsters?
Using the elimination method, there is only one possibility left for the true identity of the sludge monster.
Xia Yi took two steps back and looked at the mud monster in shock.
You are actually a girl!
The sludge monster tilted its head and looked at him.
Xia Yi calmed down and squinted at the mud monster: "What's the point of being cute? Even if you were a girl in life, you are just an ugly mud monster now."
The sludge monster's eyes flashed red, and he reached into his body and threw Xia Yi's canned fruit on the ground.
If I get angry, I'll throw the can at you.
Xia Yi picked up the can and tried to stuff it back, but the sludge monster evaded and refused to cooperate.
He has quite a temper.
Xia Yi opened the can and ate it in the study.
From the information in the dream, it can be inferred that the sludge monster was originally the lady of the Hong family mansion.
So, why did He kill people in the Hong family mansion?
Xia Yi became curious.
He looked at the desk in the center of the study room.
The desk has a total of five drawers and a cabinet, and Xia Yi opened them one by one.
There is a cardboard box as big as your head in the cabinet. When you open the cardboard box, there is a doll inside.
Judging from the shabby condition of the cardboard box, this doll is quite old.
Putting the doll back, Xia Yi flipped through the drawer.
There are some account books in the drawer, and the monthly expenses are fully written down.
But the paper is also very old.
When Xia Yi turned to the fourth drawer, he saw a withered flower.
He touched it and the flower burst into pieces.
It seems that this desk has not been used for a long time.
After closing the fourth drawer, Xia Yi grabbed the fifth drawer.
He tried hard but couldn't move it.
This drawer is locked.
There is an ax in the storage room. Go get it to unlock the door?
Xia Yi thought for two seconds and rummaged through the first four drawers.
Usually this kind of key will be hidden in another drawer.
Sure enough, a minute later, Xia Yi found the key from the bottom drawer.
He took the key and was about to open the lock, when he found the sludge monster also squatting down and looking at the drawer.
Xia Yi decided to play with the mud monster. He handed the key to the mud monster: "You open it."
The sludge monster took the key and thrust it into the keyhole.
despair--
The key hit the keyhole and could not be inserted.
The sludge monster tried again, this time further away from the keyhole.
After failing twice, the sludge monster became cautious. He took the key and gestured in front of the keyhole for five seconds.
Click——
The key was inserted crookedly again.
Xia Yi sighed, the sludge monster was a female after all, and had no talent for this kind of thing.
He took the key from the sludge monster's hand and poked it in with ease.
He twisted it harder and the lock groaned.
He opened the drawer.
In the drawer is a bound notebook and several pens.
Picking up the notebook, Xia Yi flipped through it. On the title page of the notebook was written "Nini's Weekly Diary".
Is this the name of the sludge monster?
Xia Yi looked at the text.
"October 10, 1918
I waited outside for a long time, drank two pots of tea, and finally heard the cry of the baby. My daughter was born. Her little face was wrinkled, which was not very pretty. My mother said that the baby she had just given birth to was...
That’s right, it’ll be fine when it gets older. I’m relieved, if it stays like this ugly, I won’t like it.”
"October 19, 1918
My father came back and named my daughter Hui Xian. I don’t like this name. What age is it now? I should come up with my daughter’s name. I like the word Ni, Annie, Jenny, Bonnie, so trendy.
.But it is not appropriate to resist my father now. When he gets old, I will wait for the opportunity to act."
Xia Yi flipped through the pages quickly. This was the autobiography of a silly father. Although it said "weekly diary", sometimes he could not remember it once a month, and sometimes he could remember it several times a week.
Turning to the end, Xia Yi found a photo.
It was a family portrait, black and white.
Xia Yi found the mud monster inside and determined the time when the photo was taken. It should be three or four years earlier than the dream by the well and five or six years later than the dream in the study.
Go back and study it slowly.
He clipped the photo back into his diary, stuffed it into the body of the sludge monster, and took the opportunity to touch deeper.
The mud monster reacted immediately, and the flowing mud squeezed Xia Yi's hand out.
Xia Yi took back his hand and looked at the mud monster angrily: "Do you think I will call you Nini? You are delusional! Mud monster!"
Xia Yi originally thought that the mud monster would throw something to vent its anger, but this time the mud monster was very quiet.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yi leaned towards the mud monster and reached out to touch the mud monster's head.
Xia Yi had not seen the father in the diary in the mansion, so he was probably dead.
One person and one mud stayed in the study in silence.
"Grandma!" A woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Hearing the sound, the sludge monster's frozen body moved. His eyes looked in the direction of the sound, and the red color in his eyes became darker.
Xia Yi noticed the mud monster's behavior. He came to the door curiously and peeked at the woman in the corridor.
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he was surprised.
Although the woman outside was much older, Xia Yi could still recognize her as the girl who played with the mud monster in the dream by the well.
The girl, together with the boy in the dream by the well, are all in the family portrait.
They should be the brother and sister of the sludge monster.
In the dream, the sludge monster had a good relationship with them.
But it seems to be different now.
Xia Yi looked into the mud monster's eyes, which were so red and bloody.
It doesn't look like a friendly expression.
The woman called around upstairs, but couldn't find her grandma, so she went downstairs.
The sludge monster was still staring at the direction where the woman made the last noise, motionless. The sludge on his body was surging, and his displeasure was almost written on his body.
Xia Yi scratched his head and walked around the mud monster.
Finally, he stopped in front of the sludge monster.
He opened his arms and hugged the sludge monster.
Although I don’t know what happened, and although you don’t meet my taste, I still want to comfort you.
Let you take advantage and be happy.
The mud monster withdrew his gaze and looked at Xia Yi.
