My House of Horrors

Chapter 1138 Look Into the Eyes of These Red Spectres and Reconsider Your Answer 2 in 1“Xu Yin, this is for you.” The old music sheet had many different tunes, and every note was playing a happy and lovesick song. The static noise drifted through his ears. Xu Yin did not reach out to touch the music sheet offered to him by Chen Ge. He stood silently at the side, like always shielding at Chen Ge’s side. He did not say a word and was always unfazed by anything that came his way. Being lied to by the person he loved, being hurt by the person he loved, being amputated by the person he loved, it was as if Xu Yin was no longer himself once the knife stabbed into his heart.All his hope, all his joy, all his love had been completely shattered. He had accepted the drink proffered by his love without any hesitation. He saw the person he loved the most standing beside him with a glinting knife through his blurred vision. He wanted to scream for help, but he could not make any sound; he wanted to struggle, but he could not control his body. He could only watch his beloved’s face as despair slowly consumed him.After Xu Yin became a Specter, he lost his rationality. Whenever he ran into an enemy, no matter how strong the enemy was, he was charge forward like a crazy bull. He wanted to die; he wanted his soul to disappear; he wanted to end all his pain and despair; he had been actively seeking death. Someone like him had run into someone like Chen Ge. Whenever he was maddened by despair and tortured until he could not recognize himself by pain, Chen Ge would always be there to lend him a hand, to help his wounded self up from the ground. The way Chen Ge looked at Xu Yin had never been filled with disgust or terror. There was only gentleness and concern. In this world, the only person who really understood Xu Yin was probably Chen Ge.

“Take this. Compared to hoping that it will make you stronger, I wish that it can help return to you at least some of your former smile.” Chen Ge handed the music sheet to Xu Yin, but when Xu Yin touched the music sheet, the old music sheet was instantly dyed red. The love songs’ lyrics were instantly blurred by blood, and they rearranged themselves into new lyrics.

“I am a bird who has lost its voice; no one will be able to hear my tune anymore.

“My beloved tore away all of my feathers and plunged a knife into my heart.

“They embraced my bodies into their hands, saying it was all for my own good.

“I understood. I knew.

“She wanted to personally create the person that she loved.”

The bloody lyrics appeared on the music sheet and tore away the happiness, replacing it with something bloody and cruel. Throughout the whole process, Xu Yin had not done anything. All he did was hold the music sheet.

“There is no return…”

Covered in wounds, the bird whose body was pierced by the knife had lost its beautiful voice. The music sheet that once recorded the joy of love was soaked in blood and slipped through Xu Yin’s fingertips. Before it fell to the ground, it was caught by a pair of hands.

“It does not matter. There is no reason to force yourself to accept the joy from the past. The current you can and should strive for joy in the future. You deserve that much.” Chen Ge’s eyes were shining with the light of hope. He patted Xu Yin’s shoulder. “Compared to when I first met you, you have already changed a lot. Do not worry. I will always be by your side.”

After finding his own heart, Xu Yin’s emotions had stabilized a lot. He was no longer dominated by pain and despair, and other colors had started to appear in his world.

“One day, I will ensure that you and everyone else at this haunted house obtains their well-deserved happiness.” Chen Ge placed the bloodied music sheet on the table. His gaze was gentle and filled with power.

Standing before Chen Ge, Xu Yin opened his lips but did not make any sound. Instead, his pale fingers lightly caressed the music sheets, and his body slowly dissolved into blood vessel. In the end, Xu Yin took away the music sheet. Just as his body was about to disappear, he wrote down one short song on the music sheet.

“The world kissed me with pain, but I am willing to repay it with songs.”
