Daomu Biji: The Southern Archives

Side Story 6: Wade’s Past

When Wade was about sixteen, he realized he was different from other boys.

At that time, he weighed almost a hundred and twenty kilograms, but he was only half his peers height.

His younger cousin who was staying at their home already looked like an adult. A poor relative from the country would always have various conflicts living with a cousin who grew up in a relatively good environment.

Wade was proud of the fact that his family was wealthy. But as he stopped growing taller, his pride gradually diminished because of his younger cousin who was tall and handsome.

When puberty hit, Wade started to realize he was ugly. Because of his obesity, his eyes appeared dull and he also had a difficult time concentrating on things. But what he cared about the most was his height.

Year after year, he always hoped that he could grow taller. But his height never changed and the gap between him and his peers continued to get bigger and bigger.

When he was eighteen years old, his cousin left their home and started his life in the city by opening a smithy there.

In order to thank them for taking care of him, the cousin would send some gifts to their family. Over the span of a single year, the cousins gifts got better and better. Everyone in the family began to wonder whether the cousins business was doing very well or if he was in a relationship with a rich lady.

The truth was that the cousin really was in love, but the other party was a maid who worked in a bakery. Although she was a little older and had a daughter, she was very beautiful and had some savings.

One day, Wades family had dinner with his cousin. The maid dressed up properly and brought her daughter with her. Even though she wore cheap perfume, the smell had a magical charm to it. Later, Wade thought about it and realized that this perfume made people feel that something so beautiful and cheap could been thrown away after using it.

Wade had a wet dream that night. From that day on, he became aware of sex. At the same time, he also realized that his genitals were like that of a baby. Discovering he wasnt a normal person hurt him more than his height and he broke down completely. He suddenly understood that he had nothing to be proud of from the beginning. In the eyes of his cousin, he had always been a poor disabled person.

Wade began to shut himself off from the world and put away all the mirrors in the house. He hated his appearance whenever he saw it. Several years after that, he started becoming obsessed with books about sorcery in hopes of changing his body.

His familys business, however, was getting worse and worse as his parents grew older. From upstairs, Wade could clearly feel that his cousins voice whenever he visited them was getting louder and louder while his parents voices were getting weaker and weaker.

The maids daughter grew older. She was nine or ten when they first met, but after several years, she was already thirteen or fourteen. These few years were the critical periods where girls grew into women. This particular little girl was full of curiosity and wondered why her uncle had been hiding in the attic and what had happened to him.

One day, the little girl secretly went to the attic while the adults were busy chatting. She opened the door to Wades room and saw him slashing his arms. He was already covered in wounds that he had made before. The little girl went up to him full of curiosity and silently helped him bandage the wounds.

Wades room was full of books about black magic and countless materials on sorcery, which attracted the little girl very much. She was obsessed with these strange things and would secretly go upstairs every time Wades cousin visited them.

This young girl opened a window to Wades life. He talked about black magic with her and described himself as a magician. He told her he was a prince who had become like this because someone had cast a spell on him.

Of course, the attention of young girls wouldnt last very long. As the little girl gradually grew up, these things no longer attracted her. Her body continued to develop and Wade also slowly discovered that her body began to have a female curve.

The niece visited him less and less frequently. One day, when he was looking out of the attic window, he saw his cousin bring the girl over. He waited happily for his niece to come upstairs, but she ran out of the house instead.

In the twilight, he saw a tall, thin boy holding his niece by the hand and pulling her into the alley. The moment the niece entered the alley, she looked up at the attic.

Wade had a total breakdown. He took the knife that he used to slash himself with, went downstairs for the first time in many years, and entered that alley. When he saw the young couple stealing the forbidden fruit, he went up and killed them.

As the knife was thrust into the little nieces chest, her clothes were cut open. Wade saw the mature female body and began to vomit violently.

Girls are angels before they grow up. What do you do if theyve grown up? Kill them! A terrifying thought appeared in his head.

Afterwards, Wade went back to his home and killed his parents because he resented them for giving birth to an ugly son. He then killed the maid and his cousin because they made him appear ugly and pathetic. After that, Wade fled to the countryside and worked in a stable as a farrier for three years.

During those three years, Wades body miraculously started to develop. His desire became stronger and stronger and his body grew taller and taller. His appearance also changed. The police from the city had come to the countryside to look for him, but they ignored him because of his height. That was when he realized that he was safe, because he didn't look the same as the little ugly fat man who killed people back then.

But whenever he saw little girls who were going through puberty, he would bear a nightmarish grudge against them. This kind of resentment couldnt be dissolved and ended up torturing him night after night.

At that time, the owner of the stable also had two daughters. The two girls were going through puberty and started to develop female features during the third year he was working there.

As a result, he killed the two little girls and fled. To his surprise, he discovered he would quickly grow taller every time he killed someone. It was as if the black magic he had practiced back then was actually working.

But he wasnt as lucky as the last time. He was arrested in the woods and sent to the prison to be hanged.

Herman was the warden at the time. He discovered that the tattoos on Wades body were black magic totems and that Wade had killed those girls.

Herman thought he was a wizard and took him to Perak, hoping to go into the rainforest with him. Herman knew about sorcery in the South Sea, so he needed his own wizard.

After Wade arrived in Perak, he realized he was in heaven. He was the first person who took a liking to Nanre, because the little black-haired girl fascinated him. He told Herman that the little girl had magical powers and he could use black magic to manipulate this kind of magic power to bless them.

Since he was so obsessed with this black-haired girl, how could he not recognize her when he saw her again? He was certain that the girl was dead, but now she had reappeared and looked as if she was just asleep. Does this Chinese man know sorcery?

A man who knew sorcery had found him and even brought Nanres body with him. His purpose was obvious: he was here for revenge.

So, Wade went back to his tent and took out all the guns he possessed and started loading them.

He didnt have black magic. He had heard about how formidable South Sea sorcery was, so now he was trembling in fear. But he was also very furious.

He hated Herman for leaving him here and he hated those who wouldnt let him do whatever he wanted.

He was looking at the gun in his hands when he heard movement outside. He didnt want to beat around the bush, so as soon as Zhang Haiyan pulled the flap open, poked his head in, and wanted to talk, Wade fired.

The gun was loaded with iron bullets. Zhang Haiyan could only feel surprised for a quarter of a second before he instantly tilted his head to dodge the first shot.

Wade immediately fired again with his left hand. Even though he had just killed people a few days ago, he seemed to have endless energy. The second shot hit Zhang Haiyan right on the forehead, sending him flying out of the tent where he fell on the ground outside.

Wade rushed out and fired another shot at where Zhang Haiyan had fallen down, but he soon realized that no one was on the ground outside the tent. At that moment, he suddenly heard a girl call out. He turned his head and saw Nanre standing in the darkness, holding a grass cocoon and staring at him.

Wade pointed his gun at her.

Someone said behind him, When it comes to achieving goals, its more effective to make people feel fear than to change them with kindness.

Wade turned his head and saw Zhang Haiyan lying on his stomach in a nearby tree, his whole face completely damaged. He slowly tore off his face and revealed a sinister face underneath.

It turned out that his face was actually a human skin mask and there was another face behind the mask.

The face was so sinister that it made people feel physically nauseous. It represented his dirty face, which was hidden under his usual mask and had steel plates inside of it.

When Zhang Haiyan revealed his dirty face, he could show the ugly side of his nature however he wanted.

It was a side of him that came to be when everyone ate each other during Dingwu Qihuang.
