âWho⦠Who are youâ¦â
Her body trembled. Tu Jiaya had tried to guess who the kidnappers were before but she never thought they were not humans!
One was a man around 30, who was white and clean. If he didnât wear an odd black robe and floated in the air, he might look gentle and refined.
As to the other one⦠he was too scary, Tu Jiaya even didnât want to recall his appearance.
As a matter of fact, Tai Yinzi felt really depressed when he saw Tu Jiayaâs expression. Therefore, he simply clammed up, gazing at the wall alone.
Black Soul No.9 wanted to frighten Tu Jiaya further, thus he stretched out his hand, summoning a mirror from the corner to Tu Jiaya without touching it.
He just needed to shatter Tu Jiayaâs mind to make her disorientated. Then with the help of the ability of a black soul envoy, bring out the vicious thought within her heart.
Each envoy had their own way or style to induce the customers⦠As for No.9, he was regarded as of the one with no style whatsoever.
Put another way, the style of no style was his style⦠which meant, he tend to use the most efficient methods.
At that moment, her sisterâs face was revealed in the mirror. Tu Jiayaâs jaw dropped in amazement when she found this unbelievable scene.
âAre you curious that why the appearance in the mirror is not yourself?â Black Soul No.9 spoke stonily, âDo you know who kidnapped you here? It was your sister.â
âThatâs b*llshit!â
Black Soul No.9 sneered, âWhy? Donât you believe it? But have you noticed that your voice differs, and your body feels different⦠Most importantly, your addiction hasnât occurred even after so long⦠hasnât it?
No.9âs voice sounded illusory, like the innermost thoughts of Tu Jiaya, which slowly hypnotized her into a trance.
âJiaqing⦠How could Jiaqing make⦠Thatâs impossibleâ¦â
No.9âs voice gently said, âWhy is it impossible? Our presence can testify this, and so does the change in your body. Your sister made a wish to replace you⦠and even shut you up in this place.â
âThatâs impossible⦠You lied to me, you liar⦠Jiaqing⦠my sister would never do this to meâ¦â Tu Jiaqingâs consciousness became blurry gradually.
âWhy? You donât believe it?â No.9 laughed evilly. âWell, itâs normal not to believe it⦠But why would your sister treat you this way? She should not. You donât want her to walk down the same wayâ joining the company because youâre clear about all the dirty deeds necessary. You urged your sister not to become an artist. You know her inside out. You even intended to start your own studio to cultivate you sister after getting the contract period was overâ¦Youâre protecting her, suffering alone. Below the shiny appearance and reputation, youâre under the control of the company, dependent on drugs and the sorrow from letting the bigwigs do whatever they want at willâ¦â
âStop talking! Stop talking!!!â
Unwittingly, the rope around her body had been untied automatically.
âYouâre bearing all these by yourself. Your inspiration starts to fade away and you forget your passion for creating music. You were forced to become addicted to drugs and canât focus on songwriting⦠In fact, you started to become dependent on the drugs, feeling painful and confused, sad and helpless. You have to hide yourself in the illusionary world that those harmful things bring you too.â
âDonât speak!! Donât⦠donâtâ¦â Tu Jiaya covered both her ears in pain.
âEverything you did, was merely for protecting your sister. However, the person you loved the most made a wish to steal everything you owned in the end.â
âStop talking, please⦠pleaseâ¦â She curled up her body, feeling like the whole world had collapsed.
âDo you remember how you fainted? Your sister even felt like killing you, making you disappearâ¦â
Looking at Tu Jiaya that was all tears, No.9 took two steps forward. In a magical voice, he said âDo you feel pain? A thousand times more than when the addiction kicks inâ as if your heart was stabbed by a knife⦠Are you eager to release yourself from this pain?â
Tu Jiaya raised her head in a daze.
A black flame gradually came into her sight. A black card formed within the flame with 4 fantastic stamps shining on it.
âGrab it, and make your wish⦠Then, youâll set yourself free. Itâs quick⦠very quickâ¦â
Tu Jiaya stretched out her hand, grasping the card hanging in the air.
The moment her fingers touched it, she stopped at once as if she had been electrocuted.
No.9 frowned but his voice still continued. âWhy are you still hesitating⦠Donât you want to escape from this kind of miserable life? Well, you should.â
âNo⦠compare with theseâ¦â Tu Jiaya dashed towards Black Soul No.9, âJiaqing, she must be in pain now⦠She didnât know about my experiences and might be suffering the withdrawals of drug addiction. I must go to rescue her!â
Her body went through No.9âs, heading towards to door. Unexpectedly, the locked door outside had been opened magically. Tu Jiaqing forced her way out with no further thought.
No.9 played around with the black card, which hadnât been given to her, standing at the same place.
Tai Yinzi asked puzzledly, âWhy did you help her by unlocking the door and allow her to leave? Besides, she even released herself from master No.9âs temptation!â
No.9 said, âIs that weird?â
As a green hand, he nodded since he didnât understand.
No.9 said, âShe wanders in pain through day and night, shifting between the reality and the illusion brought by drugs. But why she didnât fall apart till now?â
Tai Yinzi thought for a while. âBecause she knows she has to protect her sister, so she stopped herself from going crazy?â
No. 9 found that Tai Yinziâs had progressed. âThe most sincere emotion hidden in a humanâs soul often brings about a miraculous power. Just like a mother lifting up a car to save her child under it⦠The belief of protecting her family was the only thing keeping her together, as the final conviction, it would not be broken so easily.â
Tai Yinzi said with pity, âSo is this considered to be a failure?â
No.9 shook his head, âNo⦠because of this, sheâll make her wish without hesitation if needed. This soul⦠is really beautiful.â
Black Soul No.9 changed his gaze towards the black card he held, saying to himself, âThe new master⦠does he prefer this kind of beautiful souls?â
No matter how strong her will to protect her family wasâ if she was ordinary⦠how could she struggle and get break free of the temptation so easily?
