I really don't want to be a master

Chapter 53
Because of the terrible nightmare, the octopus didn't sleep again all night, not because he couldn't sleep, but because he didn't dare to sleep any more.He really didn't want to experience the suffocating fear in the nightmare again.

Relying on his youth and good health, coupled with the foundation laid by usual exercise, it is not too embarrassing for the octopus to stay up all night.But after surviving the night of insomnia due to nightmares, he felt an unprecedented fatigue, which was a kind of fatigue that originated from the depths of his soul.When he was working during the day, he was lazy all day long like sleepwalking, and his whole body was haggard like a hemiplegic patient who had been bedridden for many years. Even so, he still managed to stay awake all day.

Although Octopus's colleague also felt very strange about the changes in him, after asking twice, he didn't take it seriously.Octopus is usually in good health, and the physical examination has never found any problems. Everyone thinks that he has not had a good rest.One day passed, and it was night again in a blink of an eye. The octopus was lying on the bed in the dormitory, tossing and turning sleeplessly.

He didn't want to sleep, for fear of having that terrible nightmare again, but the extreme tiredness hit him, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

The octopus found himself in a strange place, like in a deserted mountain, he was walking on a rough path.There is a thick cyan smog around the path, making it impossible to see what is on both sides of the path.He walked on the road in a daze, walking mechanically, walking along the path, walking.He didn't know why he appeared here at all, and he didn't understand why he kept going.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Octopus suddenly heard someone crying faintly, and the weak crying sound came from the mist intermittently.He followed the sound and walked slowly, only to find that it was a little girl in red crouching on the ground crying.The little girl's face was hidden in the fog, and she couldn't see her face clearly. Her shoulders twitched, and she seemed to be crying very sadly.

"Little sister, why are you crying? What about the adults in your family, why don't you care about you?" Octopus asked gently.

The little girl just bowed her head and cried, not paying attention to the octopus at all.He stood aside and waited quietly for a while. Seeing that the little girl had no intention of opening his mouth, he had to sit on the ground next to her and comforted him in a low voice: "Little sister, don't cry. If there is something sad, tell me Come out, okay? Tell me and see if I can help you."

The little girl barely stopped her sobbing, and said without raising her head, "Are you really willing to help me?"

Her voice is very strange, not as clear and crisp as the average little girl, but somewhat similar to an old lady in her seventies and eighties.The octopus was startled by her voice, and after recovering, he said with certainty: "Of course, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help you. Tell me, what is it that makes you so sad?"

The little girl raised her head, and the octopus saw her blue and white face, the black pupils almost occupied the entire eye sockets, and it seemed that there was no white in the eyes.She said to the octopus expressionlessly: "Since this is the case, I am very hot and in pain. Please stand for me for a while."

The octopus didn't know what the little girl meant. He asked suspiciously, "Why is it so hot and painful? How can I help you?"

A stiff smile appeared on the little girl's face, and then the skin on her face began to fall off, and then the flesh all over her body began to fall off piece by piece, revealing pale bones.Her fleshless jaws were still talking one by one: "Come on, come for me and you'll know."

The octopus was frightened by the little girl's weird and frightening appearance, and trembled like chaff all over his body. He stammered and said, "You...you...you are not a human, you are a ghost!"

"Zizi..."

There was this strange sound all around, and then the octopus felt dizzy for a while, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself sitting in an iron basin.The iron basin was very large, and there was half a basin of water in it. The temperature of the water was a bit low. He felt cold all over after soaking in the water.He tried to crawl out of the water, but after moving his hands and feet, he suddenly realized that he turned into a babbling baby!His limbs were short and fat, and it was impossible for him to climb out of the basin despite his great efforts.

The octopus was very frightened by the changes that had happened to him. He opened his mouth to speak, but the voice that came out of his mouth was a babbling child's voice, and he couldn't understand what he was saying at all.But when he heard the movement of him tossing the water basin, an adult's face appeared outside the basin, it was a carefree-looking woman.

The woman frowned and touched the little head of the octopus, muttering, "Baby, what are you talking about? Mom can't understand you."

The octopus waved its arms vigorously, trying to attract the woman's attention. He slapped the cold water in the basin vigorously, and the splash of water hit the woman's face.The woman suddenly realized, and she said in surprise: "Oh, my baby thinks the water is too cold? The baby is so obedient and smart! She even knows to sue her mother. Haha, baby, don't make trouble. Listen to your mother saying that the water heater is broken. Yes. Mom lit a charcoal fire under the basin, and the water will be hot in a while, and when the water is hot, Mom will give you a bath, don't worry, okay?"

The octopus yelled anxiously, but the woman shook her head with a smile, touched his little head, turned and left.The octopus closed its mouth helplessly, looked up and looked around, hoping to find something helpful to him.The iron basin was very large, and it was suspended in the air. The octopus's head could barely protrude from the iron basin, and his sight could not go beyond the edge of the iron basin.He tried to stand up with the edge of the basin, but after working hard for a long time, his hands and feet couldn't be controlled at all.After struggling in the water for a long time, the octopus was tired. Now he is a baby who can't stand up, and his strength is pitiful.The little baby's drowsiness came quickly, and he fell asleep before he knew it.

In a daze, Octopus seemed to hear the woman talking, and he woke up with a jolt.The woman answered the phone, and she seemed to be arguing fiercely with someone on the phone, and mentioned words such as vixen and mistress many times in her words.After a while, the woman dropped the phone to the ground with a snap, and then heard the sound of her rushing out of the door. After the door rang, the room fell silent.

Based on Octopus's experience, he can judge that the woman must have received a call that her husband would not come home, and if she ran out in such a hurry, she must have caught rape.But going out in such a panic and throwing her child into the basin shows how careless this woman is.Thinking of this, Octopus suddenly felt something was wrong. The woman went out, so he was the only one left at home?

The baby who couldn't even stand up was put in an iron basin, which was filled with water. From what the woman said just now, there was a charcoal fire under the iron basin?
The octopus instantly felt creepy!If things were really as he thought, wouldn't it be a great tragedy?Sure enough, he came here whenever he wanted. As soon as he thought of the worst outcome, he immediately felt the temperature of the water rising.The temperature of the water is rising little by little. It was a bit cold at first, but now it is very warm and comfortable.

The octopus really hopes that the water temperature will remain cold. He would rather be frozen than let the water become hot.But contrary to expectations, the temperature of the water has been rising, although slowly, but very steadily.He began to struggle vigorously, hitting the iron basin with all his strength, but the iron basin did not move at all, it seemed that reinforcement measures had been taken.

After struggling for a long time, there was still no effect. At this time, the octopus felt that the temperature of the water had begun to heat up. His face was full of anxiety, and his mouth let out a shrill scream, but there was only his echo in the silent room.

The water is getting hotter, it's death temperature.

The octopus felt a burst of despair and fear. He still wanted to try his best to climb out of the basin, but the iron basin was already scorching hot, and his little hand was on it, causing big blisters immediately.Sitting in the basin, he already felt a burning pain in his buttocks. He writhed vigorously in the water, screaming continuously, but it had no effect.

The temperature of the water was still rising, and there was no one in the room.The careless woman didn't know where she went, and she seemed to have completely forgotten about the baby in the basin.

The water has been burned to the point of bubbling, gurgling and splashing.What the octopus feels at this time is unprecedented pain. Is there anything more painful than this in the world when a person is boiled to death?The skin on his body began to bulge up piece by piece, and then the bulging blisters burst under his painful scratching, and the skin all over his body was scratched and torn by him.His flesh began to turn white, it was boiled white, and the flesh began to melt, and the bones inside could be seen clearly.

His voice began to be hoarse, and his movements became smaller and smaller, until finally, his voice gradually disappeared, only the water in the iron basin was still gurgling and splashing.

After a long time, the charcoal fire under the iron basin seemed to burn out, and the water in the iron basin gradually cooled down.But the little life among them will never be able to stand up.

The door of the room was kicked open with a "bang", and the carefree woman rushed in hurriedly.She hurriedly walked to the edge of the iron basin to take a look, then sat down on the ground, shouting at the top of her lungs, "My precious daughter, what's wrong with you?"

Following her gaze, she saw pieces of bones floating in the big iron basin, and some oily things, which seemed to be internal organs.The little baby in the iron basin was boiled alive and melted, all the skin and flesh were boiled into oil, leaving only a small skeleton floating in the iron basin.

Just when the woman was crying, the little skeleton in the iron basin suddenly moved!
