Chapter 11: A New Beginning
"Actually, none of the children after Tsurumaru have the bloodline of the Tsurumaru family..."
"- Yes, so to speak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Yoshio drank his coffee in one gulp, and then fell into deep thought, and the way he thought about the problem still made me mistake him for my father, a strange and very familiar feeling.
I didn't bother Yoshio about Tsurumaru's wife, I know those things, Chi's wife peeked at the "window of the lily of the valley puppet" and gave birth to Hegu, and brought the terrible "To" to this world.
"Xiaoxi, do you want to eat something? I'll do it for you. ”
Yisheng asked me with concern, and I shook my head slightly.
"No, don't bother my father... Oh, you see, I forgot again, it's still customary to call you 'father'—"
"It's okay."
In fact, Yoshisheng has been taking care of me as a father since I was born, but why did I delay until I was born in the Ruri family and raised by this false father? Where is my mother herself?
There must be unexplained facts, such as what is my true identity? Or am I a human child? These are the questions I have, plus-
I have always been ignorant of the "correct relationship between me and Hegu", I only understand the relationship between killing and being killed, although I don't know the mystery of it, but I know that the real cause of Hegu's death ten years ago was because I replaced the letter that Yagi Ken wrote to Hegu.
My eyes were questioning, and Yisheng naturally saw it.
"Xiaoxi, there are some things you may not accept, but..."
"I understand—"
"I'm talking about your inadvertent, some negligence..."
Yisheng withdrew his gaze and put his hands together on either side of the bridge of his nose.
"My fault?"
"What I mean... It was your mistake in Shaojian Middle School later, in fact, you inadvertently contributed to the tragedy..."
- Me?
I began to reminisce carefully.
My first day at Shaojian School... After receiving a call from Shui Jing, I wrote a reply.
However, the content of the reply...
I replied with eight words--
"Ahh
I suddenly covered my mouth, and I was startled by myself, yes, those eight words were-
"Death responds, kill one."
It's me, it's really me!
But why should I do that?
"When the lily of the valley puppet receives this kind of reply, he has to kill someone, otherwise..."
"The lily of the valley puppet will be killed by me."
Yisheng didn't speak, just nodded silently.
After a few seconds, he seemed to think of something and said again.
"Xiaoxi, do you know why you have intermittent amnesia? It has a lot to do with this, in fact, it is not you who can kill the lily of the valley puppet, it can also be said to be another you, when you have amnesia, it is when 'another you' occupies your consciousness. ”
"Split personality?"
"-No, it's not the same thing as a split personality, it's two 'you', one is an ordinary person, and the other ..."
"It's a demon."
I answered for myself in a voice that I could barely hear, and it was only when the truth was peeled back layer by layer that I realized the question I had never thought about.
――The demon used his finger to cut a window between Hell and the world, and in order to escape often, he looked for the "lily of the valley golem" to open the window for him, but where did the demon go after escaping?
At this point, the answer is clear.
This is probably the real reason why my mother conceived me. I'm like a skin that bears evil spirits, and that's why I was born.
In this way, other questions can also be answered logically.
The reason why Tsurumimaru's wife peeked at the "window of the lily of the valley puppet" was because I needed a "lily of the valley puppet", so she gave birth to a valley.
As for the fact that I was born in the Ruri family, I think it may be a matter of "timing".
The answer is clear, but it's not over yet.
I made a sudden decision, and looked up at Yoshio, who probably understood what I desperately craved.
"Xiaoxi, you have to know the consequences of doing that..."
"I know, Yisheng, please help me, the reason why you let me come here to find you is not also giving me that choice?"
He hung his head, clasped his hands together and thought about it.
"Well, since that's your decision-"
I nodded goodbye to Yisheng, before going out, his eyes were full of mixed emotions, I really wanted to go up and hug him, this person who has always been my father, but I still didn't do that, I was afraid that after hugging me, I would lose the courage to open the door.
I smiled at Yisheng: "It's okay, don't worry. ”
After saying that, I hurriedly pushed the door open without looking back, and a blinding light greeted me.
……
At this moment, on April 2, 2007, I was standing on the way to school, the sky was the same as then, jelly-like pale blue, and the clouds floated softly like cotton candy on it.
I am back!
I opened my bag and saw the reply I had written the night before, and without saying a word, I took it out, tore it up and threw it in the trash.
"This is no longer needed."
I took the usual three-stop train to school, and I suddenly wanted to cry with excitement because of the familiarity I had not felt for a long time, and I was able to meet all the students I knew well in the first year of high school, and most importantly, all of them were still alive.
Before he reached the classroom, the preparatory bell had already rang, and just like that day, Shui Jing ran out of the classroom.
Seeing that I was about to be hit by her, I flashed against the wall, which made Shui Jing, who suddenly saw me, almost fall out of a dog eating without any avoidance, and I hurriedly grabbed her.
"You're... Liulixi-san? ”
"Hmm-"
"I'm really sorry, I almost bumped into you just now, I'm just anxious why don't you come yet, I called you Shui Jing last night, and you wrote the reply, right?"
"I wrote it, but I threw it away."
"Thrown-?"
Shui Jing's eyes widened.
"Why?"
I ignored her question and walked straight into the classroom, Shui Jing chasing after me.
"Hey! I say... Ruri-nozomi, you're going to break the class rules like this..."
As soon as I entered the door, I froze-
Everyone in the classroom looked at me, there were no empty seats, on each seat, everyone vividly cast the eyes of "seeing new classmates", the same line of sight did not make me feel oppressive at this time, but a kind of unprecedented joy, even forced to burst into tears, emotions in the sorrow and joy of the confusion, there is no emotion in the heart, but full of "new beginning" courage.
After looking around, my eyes fell on the "mailbox" standing at the back door.
"Liulixi-san, didn't you hear what I just said? Not replying is a serious violation of class rules. ”
I looked at Shui Jing, who was panting and pouting, and my eyes moved from her to the others who were looking at me.
"There is no need to reply here, and from today onwards, all of you do not need to reply here."
As soon as I finished speaking, everyone was shocked and made a lot of noise... I saw that Momoi had already stood up and was about to walk towards me, when the class bell had already rang, and Teacher Yong Shengxiang walked in through the front door.
