Chapter Thirteen Billy's Story
Perhaps unexpectedly, there was a beautiful woman standing outside the door. The woman looked at Sivia and her face turned red, "Who are you looking for? I don't know you at all. I mean, you are not Billy's old friends at all." The woman's voice was a little incoherent, but the meaning was still very clear.
"We just need to ask Billy for some things." Sivia said, ignoring the double-barrel hunting rifle in the other party's hand, and walked straight in. The woman seemed a little nervous and let Sivia and Xing Tianyu walk into the room and look around.
"Billy is not at home, he's going to work."
"Hmph, go to work? At this time, I don't think so. If he went out to work, how could he not drive away?" Sivia said, while putting out a detection magic, but was surprised to find that there was no one else in the room.
"It's really a hell, there's no one else in the room."
"I've said it long ago!" said the woman.
Sivia looked up and down at the woman. Although she didn't want to admit it, she looked very frustrated. Although she was also a woman, Sivia would feel attracted. The natural temptation did make people feel guilty.
However, this woman is not as confident as her appearance, but instead feels like she is timid and dodging.
This feeling made Sivia feel a little strange. In addition, Billy did not show up, which made Sivia lose patience. "Come on!" She said to Xing Tianyu. Xing Tianyu sighed. As expected, he still had to take action by himself. By the way, this soul-catching eye felt a bit too useful, and he felt like he had a cheat. If he wanted to do bad things, he would go directly to the United Nations General Assembly and glar at the White House. It was definitely a heaven-defying existence, or he would go to Hollywood to glar. It would probably be no difficulty to sleep in Hollywood, but he was still too kind and did not even use the soul-catching eye to do any bad things.
While thinking divergently, he walked to the woman and looked at her soul-catching eyes.
"Tell me where is Billy?"
The woman's eyes were blurred, "Billy is here."
Xing Tianyu was surprised. He glanced at Sivia. Sivia shrugged innocently, "I have really tested it just now, there is really no one else."
So where is Billy? Xing Tianyu thought to himself that he didn't think this woman could lie under the control of his soul-catching eyes. Could it be that Billy was invisible? But even if he was invisible, he could not escape Sivia's detection. He looked around and suddenly found a problem. There was no feminine feature in this house, no women's clothes, no women's cosmetics, and the strange and squeaky expression of the person in front of him. A sudden flash of inspiration in his mind, "I understand that Billy is indeed here, to be precise, right in front of us."
"You mean." Sivia seemed to discover the New World and was full of incredible eyes, "Is this woman Billy?"
"I'm Billy." The woman said, shook her head as if she was awakened by her words, looking at the two of them in surprise, with a wry smile on her face.
A few minutes later, the effect of the soul-sucking eye had completely faded. The three of them sat on a broken sofa, drinking beer while listening to the woman in front of them, or Billy, telling the truth about the matter.
"My life is very difficult. Maybe you have heard that you can't find a girlfriend and your work has not improved. I often want to just commit suicide. Otherwise, living in this world will only be painful, but I am unwilling to give up. How can I die like this if I haven't even touched a woman? Although I often have evil thoughts. When I see those young and beautiful women, when I see women who are not so young or so beautiful, I will have an impulse. I want to run to them, pursue them, get them, and pay any price for it.
But I can't muster up the courage, and I can't really do bad things. My father is a beast, but my mother once taught me some principles of being a human being. When she was young, she often told me all kinds of stories.
At this moment, I heard that legend. When I was a child, I always listened to it as a story, and I never took it seriously. However, when people are desperate, they often have no choice and have to believe in things that sound very absurd, just like soldiers on the battlefield are always more likely to become pious."
"So I decided to go to the forest to find the ghost in the forest. I brought a lot of food like the protagonist in the story. I explored in the forest day after day, searched for several months, and finally found the altar. It was said to be an altar, but it was 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 my childhood that the altar was a stone, and I found it.
Everything fits the details of the story. The stone is smooth and round, nestled in a clearing area surrounded by trees. The stone is full of daisies and crowned dovetails. I put every food on it, tried one by one, and finally found the right combination, bread and honey. Only when these two things are placed on the altar at the same time will the ghost in the forest appear."
Xing Tianyu couldn't help asking when he heard this, "So you saw that ghost in the forest?"
"That's right." Billy's eyes showed a blurred look. "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Sivia rolled her eyes. (Are the most beautiful things these days so worthless?) She muttered in a low voice.
But Billy did not hear her voice and continued his description. "It was like a fairy in a fairy tale, with white all over her body emitting pure light, as if transparent. When I saw her, I knew at the first glance that it must be the legendary ghost in the forest, the goddess worshipped by the Indians."
"She ate the honey and bread I brought, and then I walked out of the hiding place. It looked like a little human girl, but I knew it was not a human, because no one looked at me with that calm and gentle look. I said, 'You ate my things', and I wanted to scold her as severely as planned, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it in the face of such a pure creature. I was ashamed of my despicableness, but it said it was embarrassed to eat my things. In return, it was willing to fulfill a wish for me."
Xing Tianyu jerked, "So you made a wish to become a woman?"
"Of course not!" Billy glared at Xing Tianyu with annoyance. "Although I am hungry, in my heart, I am still a man, a pure man. My wish is to get a woman, to be precise, to have a woman completely, because I am afraid that if I can't have a woman completely, this woman might run away, so I asked for this very clearly. Then I described the appearance of this woman, which was very detailed, and then I said, I hope to have such a woman, she would always be with me and never leave me."
"Then the ghost told me that it would fulfill my wish, and it said that I could go home and the woman I wanted would appear before me early tomorrow morning."
"I was very happy. I fell asleep after I got home. The next morning, when I looked beside me, I found nothing. I was very disappointed and thought that the ghost had deceived me. But when I walked to the closet to prepare to put on my clothes, the woman appeared. She was in the mirror. I was stunned for a while before I realized that the woman was myself."
Billy smiled bitterly, "The ghost in the forest didn't lie to me. I did have an almost perfect woman, and she would never leave me."
"Aren't you angry? It seems that it ended up cheating on you?"
"No, I wasn't angry. Although I was a little unacceptable at first, I felt that this was good after getting used to it. Although this was not what I really wanted, it was at least much better than the ghost I used to. And I was no longer afraid of getting close to women, because I am a woman myself, and I think maybe I could already pursue other women as long as I have the chance."
Xing Tianyu and Sivia looked at each other, and the matter was almost certain. The ghost in the forest was the prayer elves. "Thank you very much for your story." Sivia said, "I think it's time to say goodbye." She hesitated for a moment, "What are your plans in the future?"
"I don't know either." Billy's face was a little confused. "I can't do anything except logging, but now my body can't do that kind of work, and I have no choice but to do it. I don't dare to let others know about my business, so I can only hide at home."
Sivia took out a handful of banknotes from her pocket and counted five thousand dollars, "Take it, don't stay here, go to a big city, with your capital, it's definitely not difficult to find a job, or simply find someone to marry. If you can accept it, I guess there must be many people willing to marry you, such as the baker."
Billy heard this with a look of surprise, looked at the banknotes in his hand, and stammered, "All these are for me? Is there too much?"
"Just treat it as a consultation fee."
"Thank you so much!" said Billy. "I think I'll leave here, go to Hollywood, or New York."
Sivia winked at Xing Tianyu, and the two walked out and left Billy's home.
When they walked outside, the two looked at each other, Xing Tianyu said, "Then it is basically certain that the ghost in the forest is indeed a prayer elves, and it looks like the ancient summoner said that the prayer elves will distort human wishes."
Sivia clicked him and suddenly smiled, "But even if the distorted wish is still better than not making a wish, isn't it? Billy at least doesn't seem to think about suicide anymore."
