My mother cried very sadly, and Lu Cun and I were there to comfort her.

At one point, I saw my sister walking towards my grandfather.

He was a bad adult who, like my elder brother, liked to use malicious tricks to deceive me. He had always been kind to me a long time ago, and he would give me candies and snacks first. But after my elder brother learned to use malicious tricks to deceive me, my grandfather also started to do the same. He would still give me delicious and fun things, but he would ask my elder brother first if he wanted them, and only gave them to me if he didn't want them.

This made me feel like I was picking up things that my eldest brother didn't want, and for a while I was distancing myself from both of them.

But when facing their sister, their attitude has never changed.

The eldest brother has always felt helpless yet relaxed towards his sister.

Grandpa has a kind of repressed sadness.

Only on that day did I feel the same malice from him towards my sister - the same malice he had when he deceived me.

I… didn’t know if something had gone wrong, so I stayed behind to comfort my mother and followed.

During that time, a certain uneasiness kept lingering in my heart.

So I always carried the short stick made by my eldest brother with me, whether I was sleeping or going out to play, and even with me to the funeral this time.

Unlike Lu Cun's strange-looking two-meter-long stick, my short stick is thinner and flatter, about one meter long in total, and light in weight, so even a ten-year-old child can carry it conveniently.

When I play with my friends on weekdays, I often use it to hit bushes and insects. It is not only a toy but also a "weapon" that I use well.

My elder brother named Lu Cun's stick Ji Ba Gun, which I thought was quite cool. I was very unhappy that my elder brother didn't name my stick, so I also called my short stick Ji Ba Gun.

Holding the baton, I followed them carefully all the way to my grandfather's residence.

That was his Taoist temple, a very old one that rarely received pilgrims on weekdays.

I didn't go through the main gate, but instead went in through a hole in the backyard of the Taoist temple.

Thanks to my familiarity with the place and my slower walking pace than the other two, I quickly found them.

"Go down."

Grandpa said to my sister.

"Will you help me find someone if I stay down there until morning?"

My sister asked.

I don't understand what she wants from Grandpa.

Looking for someone? Who? Why must it be Grandpa?

I could feel the eagerness in my sister's heart and was touched by it.

Here, I would like to fully explain my abilities again.

I can perceive a person's emotions and, after extensive witnessing, can accurately define these emotions to facilitate the next judgment or directly deeply empathize to get the emotional results, but the price is that my emotions will become the same as the other person's.

It was the first time I felt that mixture of eagerness and desire, so I used the latter to understand it.

It was because of this that I kicked over the potted plant next to me.

Amid the shattering sound, my sister and I met eyes.

"Third brother? Why are you here?"

My sister looked surprised, waved at me, and then waved back.

"You go back first. I'm going to stay at Grandpa's place for one night and will go home tomorrow morning. Tell Wu Qu that I won't be going home for dinner today."

I was a little hesitant whether to do as she said or hide and sneak up to take a look.

"Po Jun, come too."

Grandpa said.

"But... didn't you say that you wanted me to stay down there alone?"

"It would be better if Pojun could go down with us."

He just said that.

I looked at my grandfather in confusion.

The feigned malice grew stronger, to the point where I subconsciously resisted moving forward.

"Come on, he said so."

My sister waved at me.

"After we go down, I will tell you a story," said Grandpa.

"If you can keep silent, then I can grant each of you one wish that will come true before you die."

"And if you fail, the most annoying thing in your life will happen."

"Now, you have one last chance to regret."

My sister's answer was decisive and prompt in her style.

"I want to go down!"

Grandpa didn't look at her, but instead looked at me.

"What about you, Pojun?"

"I...I want to go down too!"

The look in my grandfather's eyes was so scary with all that malice in it. It was simply impossible for me to let my sister go alone.

and so--

"I...I'm going too!"

I said this with the idea of ​​not wanting to be left behind.

Grandpa had a complicated expression.

I felt the sadness, the relief, the inner sense of relief and a sense of fulfillment.

But I didn’t understand these emotions at the time, so I just followed along.

The story begins on the way down.

"long long ago……"

"There was a family that placed a [curse] on their own bloodline in order to ensure the continuation of the family mission."

"All direct descendants will have twins in every pregnancy. This is called the Twin Flower."

"Twins are destined to devour each other and take away their own identical siblings to make themselves more powerful."

"The strength of the twins was determined from the beginning."

"One is destined to be the ability to interfere with the outside, and the other is destined to be the ability to interfere with the inside."

"One will take away nutrients from the other during the fetal period. The other will not be able to awaken its abilities or even die prematurely due to lack of growth foundation and nutrients."

"When this family was passed down to a certain generation, the head of the family could no longer bear the tragedy that half of his children were destined to die. So he created the [Twin Flowers Complementary Method]."

"This method requires the two pairs of twins who are stronger to unite and force them to give birth to the next generation, and then instill the curse into the new fetus."

Suddenly, my sister who was walking in front of me stopped.

"Come on."

"Ok?"

She pushed me and yelled, "Run, idiot!"

I was frightened when I saw my grandfather’s cold eyes behind her.

[282] Po Jun (II)

There is an absolutely insurmountable power gap between adults and children. Before that day, I didn't have a deep understanding of this matter. After all, Lu Cun was a ten-year-old who could carry six bags of rice.

But as someone who was caught by my grandfather like a chick, I finally understood that people cannot be generalized.

"You don't seem to understand that the family in my story just now had the surname Yang."

"Sometimes I still wonder who is the better one between you and Lu Cun. After all, that child matures earlier than his peers, while the mental age difference between you and your peers is not that big - but your learning ability is much more mature."

"But the fact is that Lu Cun does not have the ability, but you do, and it meets the requirements."

"I really don't know whether to say this is the recurrence of a miracle or the beginning of a tragedy. The possibility that has only been truly successful once in so many generations is happening again in your generation."

"The two pairs of opposite-sex twins are in a dominant position, with abilities corresponding to [inside] and [outside] or [receiving] and [releasing] respectively."

"I'm really... thankful to God for giving me this opportunity—"

"So that Ju Men doesn't have to face the same hopeless fate as I did, where I had to watch one of my own children die."

"I am in love with Ju Men, Lu Cun."

"He is not just himself, a man named Yang Jumen."

"He is the fruit of my love for the person I love."

"He is proof that we loved each other."

"He is a twin flower that bears the existence of himself and another child who died within just thirty days of birth."

"I love him more than anyone else."

"I want him to be able to think about whatever he wants to think about."

"I hope he can get the same love that I got back then."

"I hope he can realize his pure and noble ideals."

"I hope that none of my tragedies will happen to him."

"But ah..."

A feeling of sadness and despair flooded my mind, reminding me of the suffocation I felt the first time I drowned.

"A tragedy that I have never experienced has happened to him!"

"He died for his ideals—"

"It's just like those ancestors who risked everything to turn themselves into firewood to burn the fire of the sky."

"You probably don't understand, Pojun? After all, you are the only one in this family who doesn't feel much sadness, or even no sadness, because of Ju Men's death."

"I feel terrible, Pojun. Why can't his children even feel sad about his death?"

I saw my sister grabbing my grandfather's hand, and the flame of anger burned in my heart.

"Don't say things that are like shirking responsibility! There's nothing wrong with Pojun not feeling sad about his father's death now when he doesn't even understand what death means!"

Grandpa stretched out his other hand, grabbed my sister's neck and lifted her up.

"You too, Wenqu. Obviously, both your father and your mother only hope that the four of you can grow up in peace, but you want me to help you find the person who killed Ju Men? What do you want to do after you find him? Just rush forward foolishly? What a joke! He regards you as the continuation of his life! What qualifications do you have to go and die so foolishly!"

"Goo-hmm-ho..."

My sister groaned in pain as she struggled desperately, and the fear naturally surged into my heart.

Grandpa quickly let go of my sister's hand and let her fall to the ground.

Fear and despair lingered in my heart. I didn't know whether my mood at this moment was a crude reproduction of her mood, or my own mood - as someone with this ability, it was difficult for me to understand my own mood.

"This is a rare opportunity. Let me tell you the full extent of your abilities with the Pojun star."

"I will only say it once, so you must listen carefully and remember it."

"There is absolute truth in this world, and will determines power."

“The nature of your abilities is determined by your deepest desires and your own talents.”

"Your ability so far only appears to be able to sense and accept other people's emotions, so you will misjudge many people's thoughts, because people are complex, changeable, and their inner selves are not obvious. I have forced it to run wild from the beginning, and it has become able to indiscriminately accept the emotions and thoughts of everyone within ten feet of you."

"Emotions are a powerful force in this world. Strong and intense emotions can turn into a deep curse, causing everything you love, hate, fear, and detest to change because of your will."

"Just like this—"

"【Yang Pojun, Yang Wenqu, sacrifice yourself for the survival of your brothers.】"

Something took over my body, and I undressed my sister in a way I didn't understand, and then...

I felt like my spirit and soul had left my body, and a beast from nowhere was invading my young body and committing violence against my innocent sister.
