Extra (1) (Main World)
Ji Changze stood on a busy street, staring at a staircase in a daze.
What does it feel like to personally erase your own existence?
He couldn't describe it.
There were only four words: it doesn't hurt anyway.
"I heard that erasing a person's existence in the past would hurt that person, but the rumor is wrong."
A delicate voice came from his arms: "Meow~"
The voice froze halfway through the meow.
Because it was the host's main world, the system chose a newly dead host in order to show respect.
A little kitten that was born not long ago.
The system, which was used to the cold mechanical sound, was not used to this delicate little baby voice.
Soon, a familiar voice sounded in Ji Changze's mind:
[That was five hundred years ago. Now the headquarters' erasure is painless and it's done in one second. You deserve it. ]
"This is a familiar advertising slogan."
Ji Changze was amused.
He gently stroked the kitten: "It's wronged for you to follow me, the host. You are stingy and mean, and you never buy props."
The system meowed.
Very generous: "You don't need to accumulate points in the future, just buy more props."
Ji Changze smiled even more, holding the cat and sitting on the steps.
"It turns out that you can see the river view across the street when you sit here. I didn't know it before."
The system turned over in his arms with great effort:
[Host, did you return to this time just to erase your existence? Why don't you return to your parents? Don't you want to go back? ]
"Isn't it that I can only return to the timeline I left?"
Ji Changze stroked the cat again and again, watching the people coming and going in front of him:
"You can't change my past, only this way is good for everyone."
"System, do you remember? When you first found me, I was sitting here."
The system recalled, and the mechanical voice answered seriously:
[I remember, you cried, shed a lot of tears. 】
"Yes, I shed a lot of tears."
Ji Changze rarely thought about his past when he was doing the task.
But he never forgot it.
At the beginning, he was also a very happy child.
He was born in a small village. He was the only son of his parents and the only male grandchild in the family.
Since childhood, Ji Changze grew up in the love of his parents.
The village is not big, but everyone in the village knows each other. Although there are occasional quarrels, the uncles and aunts are very tolerant of the children.
Ji Changze is smart and has been the king of children since he was five years old.
In his carefree childhood, he lived a very happy life. He played outside every day, occasionally caught some fish and brought some back to his parents to eat. If he could dig a bird's nest, he would laugh out loud in his dreams at night.
His parents were just ordinary farmers, but after the villagers said that Ji Changze looked smart, they thought of sending him to school.
During the slack season, his father would go to the town to do odd jobs to earn money, and his mother would do embroidery work when she had time. Ji Changze's grandparents also agreed to the two earning money to raise their son.
Although they did not split up the family, they also agreed to their son and daughter-in-law saving money for their grandson's education.
If nothing unexpected happened, Ji Changze would have been able to start his education with the support of his parents, and with his cleverness and good brain, he would have passed the exam smoothly.
But the accident happened.
Ji Changze was born with a really good-looking appearance. At a young age, he looked like a boy under the seat of Guanyin, and people liked him at first sight.
He went to a temple fair with his parents, and the kidnapper remembered him.
With such a look, if he was sold, he would definitely be able to sell for a high price.
The kidnappers secretly followed them to the village. The first time they tried to trick Ji Changze out, Ji Changze noticed something wrong and had to leave in a hurry.
After discovering that Ji Changze was not as easy to deal with as other children, they changed their strategy and robbed him.
Ji Changze had the habit of taking a nap. While her mother sat at the door embroidering, he slept in the house. His father usually did carpentry work in the yard so that he could send her to the town to earn money.
The kidnappers studied for a few days and found the right time. They specially asked the most friendly man and woman to pretend to be a couple and enter the yard to inquire about relatives.
Ji Changze's father was kind-hearted. When he heard that they were looking for relatives, he immediately said that he would take them there.
The female kidnapper said that she had sprained her foot and was waiting for news in their yard.
After waiting for her father and the male kidnapper to leave, she told her mother that she wanted to go to the toilet and asked her to help her.
The kidnappers had carefully planned, and her mother could never have thought that there would be a child kidnapper in broad daylight. She helped her child without any suspicion.
Because she was inexplicably panicked, she couldn't help but come out to take a few glances.
As a result, she happened to see Ji Changze being knocked unconscious and being carried by a man.
That day, she chased after him while asking for help in a panic. People in the village who heard the noise came to help catch the kidnappers.
But the kidnappers had already found out the route, and there was a carriage waiting outside. They got on the carriage and ran away.
Ji Changze's parents chased them desperately, but they couldn't outrun them. They watched the kidnappers' carriage with their child gradually disappear.
By the time they reported to the police and the government was dispatched, the kidnappers had already run away.
The child was snatched away in front of them, and Ji Changze's parents fell into deep pain and self-blame.
They blamed themselves crazily. If they had not been deceived and left the yard, the child would not have been snatched away.
The two left their hometown and began to search for their son.
As for Ji Changze, as I said before, he was smart since he was a child. When he woke up and found out that he had been abducted, he pretended to be frightened and waited for the kidnappers to relax their vigilance before trying to escape.
It's a pity that he is so young, how could he run away under the noses of seven or eight adults.
After he was captured, the kidnappers were afraid that he would really run away, so they simply fed him medicine every day and let him sleep all the way to his destination.
When it was time to sell people, Ji Changze was no longer drugged, and the kidnappers discovered that he was blind.
The dose of medicine was too heavy, and he had several fevers during this period without anyone noticing. He was so dizzy from the medicine that he couldn't tell. In the end, he didn't know which fever was caused.
Ji Changze's eyes were so blind.
The kidnappers didn't give up and called the doctor, but the doctor said he couldn't see anything better.
They were so angry that what they thought was a good thing fell into their hands, and they no longer dared to take action against Ji Changze.
Ji Changze pretended to be suddenly blind and panicked and did not dare to go anywhere, and planned to escape again.
This time he succeeded.
Those kidnappers never imagined that a five-year-old child could escape even if he was blind.
After Ji Changze ran out, he almost died several times because he couldn't see and had no experience in being a blind person.
Finally, a gangster picked him up from the puddle. Seeing how good-looking he was, he decided to accept him as his apprentice.
Ji Changze just became the gangster next to him.
He wanted to go home, and he kept crying in the middle of the night. The gangster had no choice but to take him to the government office. But Ji Changze had been to the town at most before. He didn't know the name of the village where he lived, or the names of his parents. What, I don’t know how long the kidnappers took him away.
He couldn't even see with his eyes, and even the possibility of looking around when he grew up and finding his hometown through the same pictures as when he was a child was gone.
He only knew that his name was Nagasawa.
It's no use either.
This is not modern, where you can spread the word by logging into the system or exposing yourself.
Finally, Ji Changze was carried back by the gangster.
The gangster is a lame, he is a blind man, and the two of them get along like this.
He gradually learned to speak nice words, make up lies, pretend to be innocent, deceive people's sympathy, and make a living by begging.
He grew up from a small liar to a big liar. At this time, he was no longer short of money, but he didn't have too much money.
Ji Changze leaned on a cane and sat on the steps begging every day.
He is good-looking, but his eyesight is blind. Even if he is begging, his money will always be several times higher.
Ji Changze almost thought that his whole life would pass like this.
Otherwise, what else can we do?
He is a blind man, and everything in this world is a threat to him.
He also can't trust people because he can't see that as long as the person he trusts has bad intentions, he may sign a contract of betrayal at any time.
That day, he saved a girl.
Ji Changze couldn't see with his eyes, but his ears were very good. He could hear what was happening through the sounds around him. At that time, the horse was frightened, and the girl's position was definitely going to be kicked by the horse.
He was in the right position and easily pulled the person over.
For Ji Changze, it was just a matter of convenience.
He didn't take it to heart.
Suddenly one day, the girl came to report and asked him to leave quickly.
The prefect's son is discussing a marriage. He is ugly and cruel in character. He has often robbed women of the people. This time, he fell in love with the daughter of the Huang family.
As a result, Miss Huang was not happy and spread the word that she would not marry him even if she married a beggar on the roadside.
This was originally just an expression of determination.
But the prefecture master happened to pass by Ji Changze's place the next day and saw his appearance. He thought again and found that Miss Huang's house was nearby, so he immediately stamped the matter on Ji Changze.
Just let the news go out and prevent Ji Changze from having a good life.
Miss Huang was so shocked that she couldn't get out because she was being watched. She lay on the wall looking for help and saw the girl passing by.
The girl didn't expect that it was Ji Changze who came to report the news, and her original intention to help became more sincere.
Disaster struck Ji Changze from the sky. He never dreamed that he would be targeted while sitting on the roadside begging.
But he also knew that the prefect might not be aware of his innocence.
But so what.
He was just a beggar. He was unhappy and stepped on him whenever he wanted.
Before Ji Changze left the city gate, he was arrested by officers and soldiers on the pretext of murder.
Even when I think about it now, it's all chaos.
He was a blind man, but he ran out of the city relying on his many years of connections and the cover of a gangster girl.
Originally it was just affected for no reason, so it would be better to live in another city.
The gangster handed him letters several times, saying it was okay and asking him to live somewhere else.
Ji Changze moved to another place. It was fine at first and he could live a good life.
But within a year, he stopped receiving letters from there.
How old were you at that time?
It seems to be fifteen years old.
He was extremely immature. After panicking for a while, he fumbled and covered his face and went back to find someone.
After asking people I knew before, I found out that after he escaped, the prefect could not catch anyone to vent his anger on, so he vented his anger on the gangster.
The gangster managed to resist, but he also fell ill. When the time came, he didn't send the letter because he was too sick to get out of bed.
The girl always came to visit. Her family was just an ordinary family, but she made chicken soup for the gangster with the money she earned from sewing.
One day, she suddenly disappeared.
Her family searched frantically but couldn't find her. It was said that she was kidnapped by a kidnapper. When she went out that day, she said that she was going to bring some food to the gangster.
The gangster also followed to look for her, but he didn't find her. Instead, his condition worsened and he couldn't get out of bed in just a few days.
After Ji Changze came back, he took care of the gangster and asked someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the girl. When he was busy, his parents came.
The parents had been looking for their son for ten years.
They had no direction or goal, so they could only look for him aimlessly from place to place.
Fortunately, Ji Changze still used the name Changze. When they found this place, someone sounded like him and took them to see Ji Changze.
Relatives are of course very happy to meet each other.
But soon Ji Changze found that his mother's eyesight was not very good, and his father's legs were not good. He dragged them to see a doctor. The two were only 31 years old, but they had a lot of problems.
The doctor said that this body was worse than that of a 50-year-old.
Ji Changze couldn't see, but he could feel that his father's wrist was full of bones.
The ten-year journey to find his son was not so easy. They encountered robbers on the road. His father was stabbed twice to protect his mother and almost died.
They didn't have another child.
Because they were worried that if they had another child, they would give up looking for the lost child.
These were the words Ji Changze got out of him.
The prefect's son still didn't let him go.
Maybe it was because of his ugly appearance, he was very persistent with the jade-like Ji Changze. Obviously, the other party was just a blind beggar, but he still hated him after so long.
It was unreasonable, but under such unreasonable circumstances, Ji Changze had no way to escape.
There was another round of chaos.
His parents were arrested and thrown into jail to protect him, and the gangsters desperately held the officers and asked him to run.
Because the officers didn't want to arrest him, but wanted him to die.
Ji Changze didn't want to run away.
The 15-year-old blind boy sat on the steps where he often sat, and couldn't stop crying under the siege of the officers.
His parents suffered ten years of pain and torture because of him, and were arrested by the gangsters.
The gangster's master was seriously ill and was arrested by the officers.
The girl went to visit the gangster from time to time because of him, and ended up with an unknown life and death.
All this was because of him.
They all wanted him to run, but he was willing to use his life to exchange for their safety.
The system appeared at this time.
[As long as you complete the task and accumulate enough points, any wish can be realized. ]
"Any wish can be fulfilled? Then can I not be robbed by human traffickers when I was a child?"
The system observed for a while: [No host, the time that has passed in front of you cannot be changed. You can only return to the present time point after accumulating enough points. 】
【The main world is protected by the law. We cannot change the time of the main world, just like this world is an ordinary ancient time, and no one can cultivate immortality here. 】
It cannot be changed.
Then, the pain experienced by the person he wants to protect the most will not be erased.
Even if it is compensated, it has been experienced.
Ji Changze does not want them to bear any regret, pain, despair, pain every day, every second.
In the end, he made a wish:
"If you can't erase those, erase me."
His parents did not have a son who was trafficked, and they would not have to experience ten years of pain.
His master would not have suffered these things at an old age without his apprentice, and would not be dying of illness.
That girl would not have been trafficked on the way to visit his master because she wanted to help him.
He is the source of everything.
"Erase me, and all this will change."
Fifteen-year-old Ji Changze made his wish.
He has not changed his wish for many years.
And now, he has come to fulfill his wish.
Ji Changze was stroking the fur of the system cat and basking in the sun. As he was sitting, a limping old gangster came over.
"Young master, please have mercy on me. I have an 80-year-old mother above me and a newborn grandson below me. I am a cripple and seriously ill. My family is waiting for rice and grain to be cooked. Please give me some alms."
The old gangster's eyes were filled with tears, and his face was full of "I am so miserable, I am so miserable, I am really miserable", but Ji Changze looked at him and laughed out loud.
Old gangster: "..."
He looked at the noble young master in confusion.
The other party laughed loudly, but his eyes were red.
Oh.
This man who was crying and laughing looked rich. He must be smart.
This kind of brainless person should not be touched even if he is a fat sheep.
Trouble and danger are the first things to avoid in their business.
He ran very far back, and when he was sure that Ji Changze did not catch up, he walked away while muttering.
"I am an old beggar, and I live a very comfortable life."
"I would not trade it for 10,000 taels of silver for pancakes in the morning and porridge in the evening."
"Bah! Only a fool would not trade it for anything! Who wrote this lyrics? Do you have any brains?"
After he finished talking, he stretched himself:
"Carefree!"
Ji Changze looked at his back as he left, and his eyebrows relaxed.
The system cat looked up at the expression on the host's face.
A string of complaints flashed silently in his heart:
It turns out that the host can also laugh so foolishly.
Look up again.
--Crack!
Ji Changze paused, lifted the nape of the kitten's neck, and said softly:
"System, are you taking a photo of me?"
"Meow~"
"Don't play dead, I heard you."
"Meow~"
"Delete the photo."
"How dare you show me such an ugly photo??? Don't you know that I am the most shameless person?!"
"Now!!! Immediately!!!"
"Delete it immediately!!!!" , Lily's free and fastest update without anti-theft and anti-theft.
