I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

As Lin Yao sensed the terrifying malice, he could feel that biting chill again. It was like being splashed with cold water again and again in the winter.

‘Hiss… I can’t fight head-on against this malice.’

Lin Yao turned without hesitation. He carried the two children in his arms and ran in the opposite direction.

He had barely run for half a minute when a figure with many stringed balloons in his hands appeared. He seemed like a vendor who sold balloons in a park.

It was common to see people selling balloons in amusement parks. However, this was not a normal amusement park.

The vendor was indeed abnormal. Although he had a human shape, instead of a head, there was a long thin line on his neck. A round smiling balloon commonly seen in parks was floating in the sky at the end of the line.

The vendor selling the balloons was like a balloon freak, and if one looked closely at the countless balloons he was holding, one would notice that the faces of the balloons changed constantly. There were various expressions, depicting pain, hatred, regret, and many other emotions, on the faces of the balloons.

“Balloons for sale…” There was a cunning smile in his voice as he added, “Balloons at a cheap price. 50 yuan each…”

The appearance of the peddling balloon freak gave Lin Yao the inexplicable urge to turn around and buy balloons. Even though he ran a long way, the two little girls in his arms struggled even more. Their expressions kept changing, and they constantly looked back. Surprisingly, the 100-yuan note, which had been torn in half, appeared in their hands.

“Wake up, throw the money away.”

Right now, Lin Yao still did not know that they were in this mysterious place only because of the money. He yelled at the girls, but it did not help at all. They clung to the money and had no intention of letting go.

It was only when Lin Yao was very far away and they could barely hear the vendor that the girls stopped struggling.

“Ah…”

Upon seeing the half-torn money in their hands, the two little girls woke up from their trance and felt terrified. They threw the money to the ground in a panic.

However, it was useless. When they threw the notes to the ground, they would disappear and reappear in their hands.

“Give the money to me.”

Lin Yao put the two girls down on the ground and took the notes from them. He directly drew his knife and chopped them, but although the notes were easily torn in the normal world, they seemed to be illusions here. There was no way to cut them in half.

‘I knew it wouldn’t be so easy.’

As he took a deep breath, Lin Yao no longer cared about the notes. Instead, he ran away in another direction with the two children.

After sensing the malice just now, Lin Yao just wanted to find the exit as soon as possible.

However, the situation was not favorable.

This amusement park, which was shrouded in gray fog, was huge. Furthermore, there were dangers everywhere.

Lin Yao could vaguely make out the shapes of many houses through the fog. They looked hideous and abnormal, and he could sense malice.

The outdoor amusement facilities were just as frightening.

Lin Yao encountered bumper cars and track trains on the way.

He did not give it a second thought when he first saw them. However, the Good and Evil Distinguishment ability was activated, and he could sense terrifying malice.

After sensing the malice, Lin Yao saw the real side of this world. The originally harmless bumper cars turned into strange vehicles with an eerie body full of iron nails and numerous pieces of flesh and blood on them.

The track train was even more terrifying. After sensing this malice, he saw that what was running on the track was not a train but a centipede about 100 meters long.

‘Damn, there are all sorts of monsters here. What kind of world is this?’

While Lin Yao was shocked by the horror of this world, he was also glad that he was able to distinguish between good and evil. This very powerful ability might not be helpful at this stage, but it had aided Lin Yao countless times.

‘I would have died multiple times if I had not sensed the malice in advance. Whether I will live this time will depend on it.’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao kept on moving. Not only were the amusement facilities fixed in place dangerous, but there were also countless vendors moving around in this weird amusement park, selling balloons and water. In fact, some of the originally immobile amusement facilities began to move as well.

For example, Lin Yao noticed that the track train was crawling around.

Therefore, it would not be a good idea to stand still in this eerie world.

However, Lin Yao also discovered an interesting thing while running. Although the freaks were very terrifying in this place, everything required money. Xiaomeng and Xiaofei, who had some money, became groggy when they heard peddling sounds, as they wanted to buy all kinds of items and try out various games. However, Lin Yao, who had no money, was not greatly affected by the surroundings.

When Lin Yao realized that he had no money, the malice that he sensed in his consciousness from the surrounding nefarious buildings and the large number of merchants was greatly reduced.

‘I guess even demons and ghosts need money. Could this be money talk?’

This perspective made Lin Yao realize something. If the two children were not with him and he was by himself, although he would be a little frightened in this world, there would not be much danger.

‘After all, I have no money… Well, why are there six yuan here?’

While Lin Yao lamented that he had no money, he was carefully checking his pockets. He grabbed the two girls in one hand and searched his pockets with the other. That was when he discovered he had six yuan with him.

‘When did I get this money? I am sure I did not pick up any money!’

Lin Yao had obviously forgotten that he had picked up one yuan while walking on the road and had brought five yuan from home. Of course, if he pondered it carefully, he might be able to remember it. Unfortunately, there was no time for him to think about it.

“Candied haws on sale. Sour and sweet candied haws. 10 yuan a bunch!”

Lin Yao’s heart jumped at the peddling sound. The two children in his arms also struggled frantically.

However, the peddling sound did not affect Lin Yao. He only had six yuan.

‘Should I be glad that the items sold in the amusement park are expensive and I can’t afford them even though they only cost 10 yuan?’

Lin Yao, who tried to find joy in sorrow, hugged the two children tightly and walked toward the place with the least malice.

While walking, he looked for trouble by observing the place where the malice came from, and a sense of nausea spread throughout his body and mind.

In fact, the aunt selling candied haws did not have any delicacies in her hands. Instead of food made from hawthorn and rock sugar, she was holding dozens of eyeballs strung together with steel needles in her hands.

Upon seeing the pierced “candied haws”, Lin Yao could feel tingling pain in his eyes.

What made Lin Yao feel even more frightened was that the freak seemed to be able to see the money in his hands.

After discovering that Lin Yao only had six yuan, the vendor changed selling tactics.

“Young lad…” The vendor smiled cunningly. “It doesn’t matter if you can’t buy a bunch. I will sell you a candied haw for five yuan…”

“Thank you for your kind offer, but it is not easy for you to run a business. It would be better if you did not suffer a loss.”
