Chapter 3: Truth and Falsehood

On a normal day, the weather is as usual, and many times, girls should be taken out with their sister by their mothers to play, or in their own yard, listening to their mother's stories, but this day is a little different. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Without warning, and for no apparent reason, her gentle father took her to the rather luxuriously decorated living room of the Tosaka family, where she saw an old man, an old man destined to derail her fate.

There is no trace of hair, the bald head that has already been completely bald, the deep sunken eye sockets, and the delicate light that emits a strong light is the eyes that make people feel crazy and weird when they look closely, and there is a gloom and haze in the old age.

"Sakura, you won't be the daughter of the Tosaka family in the future, remember, listen to grandpa."

The elegant posture, the calm words, and the old man's kind smiling face, that look that was completely thinking about the girl, if other people saw it, they would sigh at the harmony of the family, but a few people felt it, and what crept in the depths of that gentleness was a cruel calm.

The little girl, who didn't understand the current situation at all, didn't figure out what was going on at all, was held by the hand of the stranger she had never seen and left the home in her memory, and it was not accurate to say that she had gone home with her grandfather who had met for the first time.

Leaving the place where she had lived for only four years, the four-year-old girl walked into another house that looked a little gloomy, but there was not much unusual here, except for the light and decoration that made the girl a little uncomfortable.

It is very natural that she has lost any support, lost her past, lost her trust, and has no understanding that can be used as a criterion and standard, and all the girl can do is to obey, obey the old man who is still the only one with whom she is still connected, step by step, and go to the depths of the mansion little by little.

……

The gloomy basement was like a mausoleum made of cold, thick ashlar stones, mingling with childish voices and moans of pain in the midst of the hum of dense wings flapping, and the only discoloration in the sea of viscous and disgusting tiny arthropods.

It's just an experience of two or three days, and when at that moment, in the midst of helplessness and calling, the old man pushed down the swarm without hesitation and with some weird smiles, the girl named Sakura has completely said goodbye to the past, and it was probably at this time that she really obtained the new surname "Makiri".

Day after day, repeating itself, everything that was unimaginable before became her new routine.

In the midst of the swarm, a pair of dim purple eyes quietly looked at the void, looking at the endless, desperate, and deep darkness through the purple hair that had deteriorated from the swimming of the insects, as if they had passed through the cycle of fate and seen their past self......

"Ahh......h

With an exclamation, Sakura sat up, gasping for breath, sweating a lot on her forehead, everything just now seemed to be like her personal experience, extremely real, even the horror, despair, and helplessness were clearly imprinted in her heart.

After deciding to exchange the so-called mission information, she lost consciousness, and as if she was in a dream, she basically knew what the "fate" of the mission was, although she was mentally prepared, but what she saw was still a little too challenging for her nerves.

Until now, Sakura's mind still echoes the last picture she saw before, except for the color tone, the girl who is exactly the same as herself, the extremely empty gaze, as if she is looking at herself, in the endless sea of insects and gloom, there are only two same wills......

When people are in happiness and joy, they often cause intellectual disabilities, and when they are in fear and pain, they will burst out with amazing brilliance, at least, when Sakura knows everything, and the idea of getting rid of such a fate completely appears in her heart, she completely calms down, and completely uses her own wisdom that will never be low.

The strangeness of that quest, the novice quest, is easy to explain, "out of the afterlife, no punishment", which is the biggest punishment for mission failure, which means that she will really fall into that whirlpool of despair, and there will be no chance to turn over.

"Heh, heh, hehe......"

couldn't help but let out some wry smiles, she has some regrets now, some hatred of her past self, in some negative thoughts, then, facing such a situation now is the retribution of her cheap hands at that time.

However, this is just a thought, because she knows very well that since she was able to enter that page in the first place, then everything is probably doomed, and now what she should really think about is to think about the current situation.

No matter what the purpose of this "next life" is, now, she can only follow the path of completing the task, there is no other choice, as for the future, it will undoubtedly only fall deeper and deeper, but after all, there is still hope.

The unknown is the most frightening, but the unknown also has the greatest variables and the greatest hope.

It's just that before Sakura calms down and thinks about these things, she still has to deal with the situation in front of her, not only so that she doesn't show any flaws, but also because of the luck that still exists in her heart, or from a rational point of view, stupidity......

Sakura turned her little head and looked at Aoi with an anxious face at the door, it was only a minute before and after, and this woman who was her mother had already arrived at her door, and from the heaving chest and the slight wheezing, it could be seen that she seemed to be in a hurry.

"Whew, is Sakura having a nightmare?"

Aoi looked at Sakura, who was sitting on the bed, sweating profusely, wearing pajamas, and her hair was a little scattered, and exhaled with peace of mind, and then, slowly walked to Sakura's side, with a gentle smile on her face, looked at Sakura and said, while raising her right hand, putting it on Sakura's head, and touching it gently, as if she wanted to comfort her frightened daughter.

“…… Hmmm......"

Feeling the natural movement of the hand on her head, Sakura didn't know what to respond to for a while, just made a little sound softly, and then there was no movement, but this kind of behavior of her daughter, who has always been more introverted, is completely normal, and it doesn't cause Aoi to worry or doubt.

"It's okay, don't be afraid even if you have a nightmare, because, Mom, I'll always be with you! Sakura will definitely have a good dream~"

After Aoi heard Sakura's voice, she thought she was still in the fright of a nightmare, and comforted her little daughter softly, sat at the head of the bed gently, hugged her petite body into her arms, and tried her best to comfort her with the temperature on her body.

The whole room was quiet again, except for the mother who comforted her daughter with a gentle and kind face, and the little girl who was held in her arms.

After a long time, I heard a slight breathing, looked at my arms and closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep of my little daughter again, Aoi gently placed Sakura on the bed, carefully covered the quilt, and left a blessing of "good dreams", and then left quietly.

Unbeknownst to Aoi, after she closed the door as softly as she could, the girl who was supposed to be asleep opened her eyes, revealing those mature eyes that did not fit her age, revealing some unknown glimmers.

“……”

“…… Oh, liar......"

She turned slightly to the side, looked at the closed door, and was silent for a long time, muttering in a voice that even she couldn't hear herself, but, in some ways, maybe it was more of a reminder of herself.

If so, would that happen? At least, in that picture, Sakura clearly saw her mother's figure......

She was reminding herself, calling for her cold and numb self, letting go of the unrealistic delusions in her heart, and giving up the sweet and greasy falsehood she was now.

The so-called "afterlife" is not a dream, not a false imagination, not the result of some delusional persecution.

Because, it's too real.

Compared with such a slim possibility, Sakura trusts her own judgment more, believes in her own personal feelings, plus her past experience, past life, she knows very well.

Judging from all the signs now, the "next life" will never be as simple as Sakura thought, at least not something that the so-called demonic clan like the Tosaka family can reach.

For such a behemoth, there is no need to fake it at all, even if it is really fake, she only has the ability to obey this will, and besides, the father in that picture is so in line with her own cognition, so real.

Judging from the point of view of reason, Sakura should think carefully about how to accomplish this task now, but, for some reason, she is a little confused now.

"Obviously you can still think about it before, just because she came for a while? It's really cheap, it's really a ......."

Sakura looked at the ceiling, looked at the gorgeous decoration that could still have some outlines in the dark environment, looked at the outlined lines, and said to herself, and then there was no movement.

In this quiet room, she was quietly thinking and reminiscing alone......

"Hehe, I'm really still too naïve~ Obviously, I never looked forward to it before, so what is there to cherish now?"

I don't know how long later, when the pendulum clock outside the room rang, Sakura sat up slowly, laughing as if she had abandoned something.

Now, it's time for dinner~
