Chapter 8: The Sheep Must Also Eat People

Shen Chong has never been a drug addict, but he has watched anti-drug propaganda documentaries

The only remaining rationality urged Shen Chong to desperately retreat, but his body gradually became unresponsive.

This is an animal with two horns, a male black goat

Dad, you are lying. You have lost a lot of blood. Aunt Jiang said that losing blood can be fatal. Let's go to the hospital

Although the wound is continuously healing, the pain is undeniably real

What is even more astonishing is that there were no prior indications whatsoever

Shen Chong smiled gently, lightly embracing Xin Xin, "Xin Xin, don't be afraid, Daddy is performing magic for you again"

I am not insane

However, Shen Chong had a similar experience and managed to hold on at a critical moment

A wave of excruciating pain washed over his mind again and again, and finally, after crossing a certain threshold, Shen Chong sat down heavily in a daze

At that moment, a rustling sound suddenly emerged from the bushes a few meters behind the two individuals

He suddenly released his grip, stood up, and turned to run towards a willow tree with a trunk the size of a bowl.

These are not real blood; they are props for magic tricks

If this ability cannot be relinquished, if I truly would commit acts that provoke the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people against Xin Xin

Is this the price I must pay for gaining extraordinary abilities

Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs

Even if the child's mother asks about it later, I can still lie and say that she fell into the lake

Shen Chong suddenly sat up straight, extending his right hand to press down on Xin Xin's shoulder, preventing her from coming any closer to him, while he let out a suppressed roar.

There are now two consciousnesses in my mind

What exactly is the situation

I currently feel as if I am an addict succumbing to drug cravings

However, Shen Chong did not turn around; he embraced the trunk of the tree with both hands and continued to crash heavily into it.

After smelling that fragrance, there was no awareness in my mind, and suddenly, a thought emerged from my subconscious that no amount of suffering in hell could atone for my sins

It does not exist

This cursed thing can even distort my soul

Shen Chong nodded slightly and helped his daughter to stand up

This is called a white lie

What is the reason for this

The beloved daughter, unwilling to accept her fate, lunged forward, crying out.

If a passerby is needed to lend a helping hand, will they be summoned out of thin air to a sparsely populated lakeside?

"Xinxin, you should hurry, quickly go find the police officer, and let them take you to find your mother"

Although I was a reclusive person who had never raised a child in my previous life, my values are as upright as they can be

How is this possible

Unfortunately, at this moment, there is no one here, so it is unlikely that such good fortune would occur.

The distance between the two individuals has once again narrowed, and an even more intense and peculiar fragrance wafts towards them

From indulging his daughter to wanting to devour her, this transition, which should have been jarringly unacceptable, has instead transitioned extremely smoothly and seamlessly.

Shen Chong slightly parted her lips, wanting to say something, even if it was a cry for help to have someone come and take Xin Xin away.

Xinxin took the opportunity to move closer, appearing to intend to leap directly onto Shen Chong.

Those people are utterly insane under such circumstances mhetushu . comcom

Then, I would rather die first

The goat is very obedient and gentle; it only requires a tap on the rod or a whistle, and the lead goat will closely follow the shepherd.

There is no one else here, just a missing child, and no one can discover it

Under the illumination of the lights, the beautiful coat of the ram reflects a distinctive dark luster, with the contours of its strong muscles clearly discernible

The other was just born under the influence of a strange and alluring fragrance, belonging to the devil

A chaotic whirlwind of thoughts enveloped Shen Chong's mind like a spell, causing his soul to tremble in terror while remaining as calm as a still ancient well

Unbeknownst to her, Shen Chong gradually increased the pressure of his right hand gripping Xin Xin's shoulder, while the expression on his face completely settled into calmness

In such situations, an ordinary person would inevitably succumb to the devil's grasp, much like countless hopeless addicts.

He finally realized that the source of that strange and enchanting fragrance was none other than Xin Xin herself

This is not true chaos; he remains clear-headed, and his logical thinking continues to flow smoothly

Previously, the father and daughter had seen it in the parent-child activity area; it seemed to be the leader among the group of captive black goats

The wound just opened up, yet it healed at an incredible speed, unable to keep pace with the rapid increase in injury caused by Shen Chong's successive impacts

He wiped the bloodstains from his face that looked unsettling, and when he turned back to look at Xin Xin, although there was still a hint of temptation, the awareness of being a father had already taken precedence.

He crashed violently into the tree, producing a loud noise

Dad! Dad, please don't go! Don't leave Xinxin behind! Xinxin will be good, won't be naughty anymore, and won't make you angry! Dad, please don't go!

These individuals have completely collapsed on a spiritual level

In the face of pain, Xin Xin unexpectedly ceased her crying and fussing

If the ability of self-healing truly turns one into a demon, then I would rather not have such an ability

His gaze was piercing, his breathing steady, and his pupils emanated a light of extreme desire yet cold as ice.

Even if it is hypnosis, or perhaps a drug that can drive one to madness, there must at least be a time for it to take effect, right

Shen Chong was frantically pondering in his mind, striving to regain his composure, while stepping backward one step at a time

As he spoke, he exerted force with the other hand hidden behind his back, twisting the muscles around his waist with great intensity

Why not

At that time, Shen Chong had also taught Xin Xin using this sheep, explaining that when herding, it was only necessary to control the lead sheep, and the other goats would obediently follow.

Shen Chong turned his head to look, and in the darkness, a shadow about one meter tall slowly emerged from the bushes.

It stared intently at Xin Xin, its gaze revealing an extreme sense of longing

She thought Shen Chong was angry, and with great pain, she trembled as she said: "Dad, it hurts so much. Dad, please don't hit me. I won't eat cake anymore, I won't watch TV anymore, I won't cry anymore. It hurts so much."

But now the eyes of this sheep emit a strange red light in the dark night, like two candle flames floating in the air

No! Don't come over!

What exactly happened today

It is too strange, too frightening

Yet some thoughts, which he could not comprehend as an ordinary person, arose spontaneously in his heart

This irresistible and bizarre temptation is tenfold or even a hundredfold stronger than that of a person who has been starving in the icy wilderness for ten days or half a month upon seeing a roasted goose

Shen Chongqing's gaze suddenly became chaotic, reminiscent of the sensations he experienced when he first crossed over and merged with the memories of his predecessor

The sound of Xin Xin's cries in Shen Chong's ears gradually diminished, and his consciousness slowly fell into a state of confusion

Xin Xin pounced from behind and hugged his leg

Again and again, the bark was even broken, revealing the white core of the tree inside

What difference does it make to eat Xin Xin?

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Xinxin, however, had no idea what was happening, nor would she obediently stand there without moving. Instead, she opened her arms and, with a look of anxiety on her face, accelerated towards Shen Chong.

One foot wishes to move forward, while the other foot desires to retreat; the left hand reaches forward, yet the right hand remains twisted around the muscles of the waist

The distinction lies in the fact that at that time, he harbored the memories of two individuals in his heart, one belonging to himself and the other to his predecessor

But all of this is in vain, utterly meaningless

Hey, Xinxin, wait a moment. Dad is going to wash his face by the lake, and then we will eat cake before heading home, okay

Even in the face of betrayal and abandonment, even amidst relentless self-harm, they spare no effort and go to any lengths to obtain what they desire

The process of cognitive transformation is seamlessly interconnected

Shen Chong smiled but did not speak, only holding her tightly.

First, it was myself acting irrationally, and now a grass-eating sheep actually wants to eat a person

After waiting for a few minutes, Shen Chong quietly touched his head, the wound had healed. He stepped back a little, allowing Xin Xin to see his forehead, "Ding ding ding ding! Look at Daddy's head! Daddy never lies, the wound is gone, right?"

Okay, Dad! Wow! But Dad, please don't perform this magic trick anymore, Xin Xin doesn't like it

He rasped his voice, summoned the strength to roar, yet could only murmur softly.

No, this is my daughter, I cannot...

Can what is done to deceive children be called deception?

The crisp sound seemed to pierce the night sky, drifting from afar, transforming into a sharp arrow that fiercely stabbed into Shen Chong's heart

However, blood ... ...

Bang

A father who already possesses it, willing to defend his daughter with his life

At such a time, how could Xin Xin possibly obey and leave

Shen Chong stumbled and fell backward onto the grass behind the curb beside the road

Shen Chong recognized this gaze, which was the same as when he looked at Xin Xin before

Shen Chong was bleeding profusely from a head injury

Shen Chong felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, as terrifying thoughts surged once again from the depths of his mind, but what was even more frightening was that this time he felt little to no sense of guilt

How could one allow such a shocking thought to arise in the heart of a father!

The strong and unusual fragrance can still be sensed in his nose, but it can no longer shake his resolve

By now, Shen Chong has calmed down and realized that the main reason for his mental breakdown does not seem to be his supernatural abilities, but rather the sudden fragrance emanating from Xin Xin

I want to devour her

A sharp pain surged through, and Shen Chong became slightly more alert.
