Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 258 Billy's Story

I probably didn't expect that there was a beautiful woman standing outside the door, but the woman blushed when she looked at Sylvia, "You—who are you looking for? I don't know you at all, I mean, you are not Billy at all An old friend." The woman's voice was a little incoherent, but the meaning was still very clear.

"We just need to ask Billy about some things." Sylvia said, ignoring the double-barreled shotgun in the other's hand, and walked in. The woman seemed to step aside nervously, letting Sylvia and Xing Tianyu walked into the room and looked around.

"Billy isn't home, he's off to work."

"Humph, go to work? At this time, I don't think so. If he went out to work, why didn't he drive the car away?" Sylvia cast a detection magic while talking, but was surprised It turned out that there was no one else in the house.

"What the hell, there's no one else in the house."

"I told you so!" said the woman.

Sylvia looked at the woman up and down. Although she didn't want to admit it, this woman looked very dangerous. Although she was also a woman, Sylvia would feel attracted, that kind of natural temptation , There is indeed a sense of provoking crime.

However, this woman is not as confident as her appearance, on the contrary, she has a feeling of being timid and evasive.

This feeling made Sylvia feel a little weird, and the fact that Billy didn't show up made Sylvia lose her patience, "Come on!" She said to Xing Tianyu.Xing Tianyu sighed, as expected, he still had to do it himself. Speaking of which, the soul-destroying eye feels a bit too easy to use, and it feels like a plug-in. If he wants to do bad things, he can go directly to the United Nations General Assembly and stare. , or go to the White House and stare, it is definitely an existence against the sky, or go to Hollywood and stare, it is probably not difficult to sleep in Hollywood, but I am still too kind, I didn’t use the soul-destroying eyes for anything bad thing.

While thinking about it divergently, he walked up to the woman and gave her a soul-stirring eye.

"Tell me, where's Billy?"

The woman's eyes blurred for a while, "Billy is right here."

Xing Tianyu was surprised for a while, he glanced at Sylvia, who shrugged innocently, "I really tested it just now, and there really is no one else."

So where the hell is Billy?Xing Tianyu thought to himself, he didn't think this woman could lie under the control of his dementor eyes, could it be that Billy was invisible?But even if he became invisible, he couldn't escape Sylvia's detection. He looked around and suddenly found a problem. In this house, there were no female features, no women's clothes, no women's clothes. The cosmetics, coupled with the weird and awkward demeanor of the person in front of him, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "I see, Billy is indeed here, to be precise, right in front of our eyes."

"You mean." Sylvia's eyes were full of disbelief as if she had discovered the New World, "This woman is Billy?"

"I'm Billy." The woman said, shaking her head as if awakened by her own words, looking at the two in surprise, with a wry smile on her face.

A few minutes later, the effect of the dementing eye had completely faded, and the three of them sat on a broken sofa, drinking beer, and listening to the woman in front of them, or Billy, tell the truth of the matter.

"My life is very difficult. Maybe you have heard that I can't find a girlfriend, and my job has not improved. I often think about committing suicide. Otherwise, living in this world like this will only be painful, but I am not reconciled. How can I die like this without even touching a woman, although I often have some evil thoughts, when I see those young and beautiful women Sometimes, I always have an urge, I want to run in front of them, I want to pursue them, get them, and I can pay any price for it.

But I still can't muster the courage, and I can't really do bad things. My father is a beast, but my mother taught me some principles of life. When I was young, she often told me various stories. .

At this time, I heard that legend. When I was a child, I always listened to that legend as a story and never took it seriously. However, when people are desperate, they often have no choice but to believe in something that sounds It's absurd, just like soldiers on the battlefield are always more likely to become devout. "

"So I decided to go to the forest to find the forest ghost. Like the protagonist in the story, I brought a lot of food. I explored in the forest, day after day, for months, and finally found it. That altar, it was said to be an altar, but it was actually just a big stone. Many people thought there would be something like a shrine, or some kind of supernatural terrain, but my mother told me in the story when I was a child, the altar is just a stone. , and I found it.

Everything fits the details in the story, the stone is smooth and round, it is located in a clearing surrounded by trees, surrounded by daisies and dwarf dovetails, I put every kind of food on it, try one by one, Finally found the right combination, bread and honey, only when these two things are placed on the altar at the same time, the ghost in the forest will appear. "

Xing Tianyu couldn't help asking when he heard this, "So you saw that ghost in the forest?"

"That's right." There was a confused look in Billy's eyes, "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Sylvia rolled her eyes, (Is the most beautiful thing this year so cheap?) She muttered softly.

But Billy didn't hear her voice, and continued his description. "It is like a fairy in a fairy tale. It is all white, exuding pure light, as if transparent. The first time I saw her, I knew that it must be the legendary ghost in the forest, Indian Goddess of worship."

"She ate the honey and bread I brought, and then I went out from hiding. It looked like a little human girl, but I knew it wasn't human, because no one had ever used that kind of calm and gentle gaze. Looking at me, I said 'you ate my food', I wanted to scold her severely as I planned, but I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it in the face of such a pure creature, I defended myself Despicable and ashamed, but it said it was sorry to eat my food, and in return it offered to grant me a wish."

Xing Tianyu interrupted: "So you made a wish to become a woman?"

"Of course not!" Billy glared at Xing Tianyu angrily. "Although I am hungry and thirsty, in my heart, I am still a man, a pure man. My wish is to have a woman, to be exact, to have a woman completely, because I am afraid that if No, if I can't fully own a woman, this woman may run away, so I asked for this very clearly, and then I described the appearance of this woman, and described it very carefully, and then I said, I hope to have such a woman , she will always be with me, and will never leave me."

"Then the ghost told me that it would grant my wish. It said that I could go home and the woman I wanted would appear in front of me early tomorrow morning."

"I was so happy that I fell asleep when I got home. The next morning, when I looked around, I found nothing. I was very disappointed, thinking that the ghost had tricked me, but when I went to the closet When I was about to get dressed, that woman appeared, and she was in the mirror, and it took me a while to realize that the woman was me."

Billy smiled bitterly, "The ghost in the woods didn't lie to me. I do have an almost perfect woman, and she will never leave me."

"Aren't you mad? Looks like it tricked you after all?"

"No, I'm not angry. Although it was a bit unacceptable at first, but after I got used to it, I think it's okay. Although it's not what I really want, it's at least much better than the ghost I used to be, and I'm no longer afraid to follow me. Women approached, and because I'm a woman myself, I thought maybe I could go after other women—given the chance."

Xing Tianyu and Sylvia looked at each other, and it was almost certain that the ghost in the forest was the wishing elf, "Thank you very much for your story." Sylvia said, "I think it's time to say goodbye." She He hesitated for a moment, "Speaking of which, what are your future plans?"

"I don't know." Billy's face was a little confused, "I don't know anything except logging, but with my current body, I can't do that kind of hard work at all, and I don't have to do it if I want to, and I dare not let it go." Others know about me, so I can only hide at home."

Sylvia took out a handful of bills from his pocket and counted five thousand dollars, "Take it, don't stay here, go to a big city, with your capital, it will definitely not be difficult to find a job, or simply find someone to marry Yes—if you can accept it, I guess there must be many people who would like to marry you, such as the baker."

Billy looked surprised, looked at the money in his hand, and stammered, "These are all for me? Is this too much?"

"Think of it as a consulting fee."

"Thank you so much!" said Billy. "I think I'll get out of here and go to Hollywood, or New York."

Sylvia winked at Xing Tianyu, and the two walked out, leaving Billy's house.

Walking outside, the two looked at each other, and Xing Tianyu said, "Then it is basically certain that the ghost in the forest is indeed the wishing elf, and it seems that just as the ancient summoner said, the wishing elf will distort human beings." desire."

Sylvia nodded at him, and suddenly smiled, "But even a distorted wish is still better than no wish, right? At least Billy doesn't seem to think about suicide anymore."

Xing Tianyu disagreed a little, "But..." He sighed, he had already guessed why Sylvia was so obsessed with this wish, she wanted to resurrect her brother, although Xing Tianyu felt that doing so was a little bit It's not very wise, but I don't know how to say the words of persuasion, "Let's find that wishing elf first."
