Hearing the real person claiming to be "Monkey King Monkey King", sister Bian Jian and I couldn't help but look at each other.I was expecting the real person to grin and make faces and say "I was kidding," but he didn't. The real person sat on the edge of the bed, facing us. "What's wrong with the real man?" Sister Bian Jian asked me, it seemed that she had never encountered such a situation. I looked at the window with the curtains closed, and suddenly wanted to see the scenery outside.I don't know if the unexplainable uneasiness and weird atmosphere shrouded in the room will affect the outside world?If so, there must be dark clouds and thunder and lightning outside at this time.

Sun Wukong?This is too ridiculous.Performing exorcism rituals, often having to face hysterical opponents. "I'm your enemy, you can call me a devil." It's not uncommon to hear words like this, but it's not unusual.Since it is an "exorcism ceremony", it is reasonable for the opponent to call himself a "demon". However, it was the first time that a young man called himself "Monkey King". Real people don't look like they're joking.His eyes are open, neither looking at us nor blankly.That is the gaze that controls everything, as if the entire space has been brought into view.His face was pale and expressionless.

What happened to the eczema on his arm just now? The real person suddenly started talking to himself.The way of speaking is like a machine, does not answer our questions, and every sentence makes people feel confused. It seems that the object of his speech is not me and Mimi-san, but the whole world including us. I froze for a while, and realized that I couldn't go on like this. I must continue with the exorcism. It doesn't matter what the opponent claims to be, whether it's a demon or Monkey King, it doesn't make much difference anyway. I took the small glass bottle, removed the cap, and held it high with my right hand.

"It's not enough to just sprinkle water on the other party." Lorenzo's father warned me at the time: "You must integrate your thoughts and pray that the other party's injured body and mind can be comforted." When the real person saw the water splashing on his body, he did not show emotions such as excitement, ridicule, anger, or panic like most exorcism targets, nor did he completely ignore it.He looked down at the water stains on his clothes, lost in thought. "Who are you?" I asked. The real person looked up at me: "I just said that I am..."

"Monkey King?" It takes some courage to say words that only appear in comics. However, the real person's expression was quite serious, and I also tightened my face. "I am Monkey King, but I am not Monkey King, neither." This kind of Zen-like sentence makes me feel weird. "Do you know my Sun Xingzhe's skills outside the body?" "Outside the body?" "The art of body outside the body, also known as the art of clone. My grandson plucks the body hair and sprays it in his mouth, shouting 'change', and the body hair will turn into 84,000 little grandsons."

"So that's how it is." I understand what is the art of the body outside the body, but I don't know what the current situation is. During the exorcism, the real person suddenly opened his eyes and talked about "Monkey King's clone". Probably no one in the world can accept such an abrupt plot development. Sister Bian Jian kept a straight face, presumably not because she was afraid, but because she didn't want to miss a word from her son.Being a mother is strong, I am sincerely moved. "Countless bodies outside the body will attack the enemy, and when the battle is over, they will return to Monkey King and return to their original state."

"So what?" "Once, the two bodies did not return." "Two?" I asked back.Originally thought that the real person's words were just extensions or metaphors, but his tone seemed to be describing a disappearance case that actually happened. "The two little grandsons didn't return to the team, but went further and further away. At first they just wandered aimlessly, but later they gradually determined their direction." "What will happen to them?" Sister Bianjian asked. "One of them walked into the dark depths of the forest. After a certain period of time, Sun Xingzhe's body would turn back into vellus and end his life, but the two bodies not only survived, but continued to grow."

The avatar will actually grow? What will it become in the end?No longer a clone, but the real Monkey King? "The outer body that stepped into the forest first lived by eating insects and ants and drinking rainwater. After a long time, he gradually stopped moving. Instead of dying, he curled up and fell asleep, and then continued to grow stronger." I picture monkeys that keep growing and growing in size. "The other one is the same, but it's changed to come to the beach. At first, it picks up crabs and seaweed on the beach to feed its hunger, and then shrinks its body and falls asleep."

"Is it like hibernation?" Sister Bian Jian asked, seeming to have slowly integrated into this fairy tale-like story. "It's not hibernation, it's closer to insect chrysalis. The external body goes to sleep because it can't bear the powerful force inside." "What powerful force?" I asked casually, avoiding silence. "The power of Sun Xingzhe. The energy of Monkey King is too strong, even the clone can't bear it. There is no problem for a short time, but the two outer bodies have not turned back into hairs. After all, it is difficult to restrain the energy of Sun Xingzhe in the body."

Sun Wukong is so strong? I didn't know what to say, I stared blankly at the real person.I am more and more curious in my heart, what is the scenery outside the window now. Could it be that I was listening to such absurd stories in the room, but there was no abnormality outside the room?
