But at the moment of bending, the wound on his back that had not yet healed seemed to be about to crack again.

[Ahh

At this point, I slowly returned to my room. Then he opened the drawer of his desk and took a roll of bandages to bandage himself. After all, when I am practicing martial arts, I often have to wrap bandages to avoid hand fractures, so I still have a lot of this kind of thing at home.

After roughly applying some red potion to my thighs, I started bandaging. However, it is impossible to apply potion to the back, and there is no way, so let's bandage it first.

It was a quick time affair. But the most important thing is that I was afraid that my aunt would see me, so I didn't have any ambiguity, and first took away some daily necessities such as wallets, bandages, and towels. Then I opened the closet.

I chose a black T-shirt for my underwear, and then found a dark green coat to wear over my coat. It seems to be a little cooler at night lately, so it's better to wear an extra one.

After taking out a large pile of clothes and pants for going out and at home, I stuffed them all into my backpack. I took the underwear, daily necessities, and money for the washing, so why didn't I take it?

After this trip, it is estimated that there will be no return for about a year. Therefore, before leaving, it is better to check the items that are leaving.

[Oh yes...]

As I muttered, I took off the school uniform that hung on the wall, folded it, and put it in my bag. There may be a chance to go back to school in the future, although it is only possible, but it is better to take it.

[Okay, there shouldn't be anything left behind, right?] 】

I revisited the room to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything with me, so I wrapped up my bag. At the same time, I am also ready to close the wardrobe drawer that I just opened...

[Huh? 】

Under that drawer there was the clothes I hadn't intended to take with me, and there seemed to be something underneath. So that the clothes caught my attention with an unusual protrusion. Usually there is a lot of clothes pressed on it, so I don't notice that there is something underneath the clothes, right?

Driven by curiosity, I lifted the clothes with one hand to see what was inside.

【…… Envelop? 】

It was an envelope made of brown paper, and it seemed to contain something very bulging. So I took it out and sat on the bed to take the coil apart and open the seal.

After pouring out all the contents, a jet-black 9mm police revolver fell first on the mattress, followed by 6 bullets, and a piece of paper folded in half.

[Police gun?! Why are you here......]

Unbelievable, I grabbed the folded piece of paper, unfolded it, and read it carefully:

‘

- If I could, I would hope that no one would ever see this letter for the rest of my life. But now that you've found it, it proves that I'm probably no longer alive, right?

Here, I would like to explain that if you found this letter by chance, after reading it, I hope you will return the gun and ammunition to the police station. Rest assured, I've said hello beforehand and I can guarantee that it won't cause you any unnecessary trouble.

And if it is my beloved son Murong Tian who sees this letter, then please take good care of this gun. Think of it as me and your mother, I don't know what will happen to you in the future, but I pray for you every day that you can live a happy life like a normal person.

You've asked me before, why don't you have memories of being a kid, right?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you at the time. On the one hand, it's because I think you're too young to know; On the other hand, I don't want you to pursue the past. We can't change the things of the past, so it's enough for us to just do the things of the present. Isn't it?

And your mother thinks it's your own life. It's not a bad thing for you to know about your past, and she doesn't want to go into the coffin with what you need to know.

But I never thought so, and we quarreled several times about it.

This is the last time, Ah Tian. Forgive Dad's willfulness, I never want you to remember those sad pasts, you have already survived that hell, although you will be curious, but there is no point in asking for troubles again.

I regret not being able to see your growth, and I also want to say sorry to you. But even if the two of us are not with you, there is something you must not suspect.

That is, your mother and I have always loved you deeply! You're definitely not alone!

‘

This is the end of the letter.

But the strange thing is that after reading these words, my heart has a sense of urgency that is about to be involved!

Even if I pulled down the collar of my T-shirt, I felt like I was out of breath. Almost at the same moment, there was a sense of confusion in my mind that seemed to be about to explode.

【Ha...... Ha ......】

Even with a big gasp, I still couldn't adjust my state. Especially when you see the words "that hell" -

My mind was almost stunned by a sudden shock.

So I simply lay flat on the bed in a large font, and then crumpled the letter paper with one hand, and then inhaled heavily, and the heart part became a little calmer.

But at this time, my ears began to be filled with countless wails and noises, and I only felt a tingling in my back and a coldness in my hands and feet.

- "Ah Tian, run!" Even if it's just you......"

- "Don't do that! Hopefully! I... I'm not running away! Don't ...... like that."

- "I told you there, here! It's your reality! ”

[Ahh 】

I couldn't bear the pain anymore, and finally I cried out with my head in my hands!

……

I don't know how long it took, but when I came back to my senses, my T-shirt was already wet with sweat. And the sheets under him were torn apart by brute force like beasts.

I sat up and wiped my sweat. After the pain just now, there is an inexplicable comfortable aftertaste. It's like finding yourself having a nightmare and then relaxing.

【…… Hope? 】

Even though it had been a nightmare, I heard the unfamiliar name in a haze.

I don't know anyone with this name. Neither in middle school nor in interest classes knew anyone, but there was no one with this name. So I don't understand why such a name appears in my ears.

After the whole person calmed down, I didn't dare to think too much. The main thing is that if I think about it again, my mind will not be the same again.

But one thing is certain, my lost memories must be hiding some great secret!

After swallowing, I rudely repacked the pistol, bullets, and letters in the same envelope and put them in my backpack. In the face of future problems, this pistol may be my life-saving tool.

After preparing everything, I didn't hesitate to pick up my bag and walk to the door to put on my shoes.

【……】

Looking around again at this home where I have lived for three years, the furnishings and decorations here are so familiar and intimate. And now, I'm leaving this place full of memories.

My father and mother passed away one after another, and I had to leave because I messed with someone I couldn't mess with.

Originally, I was still conceited: "This family, even if I am the only one left, I have to work hard to hold on!" Even if it's for my aunt's family, for my parents, or for myself. I'm going to have to hold on too! ”

But what I have experienced in the last two days has made me want to deny my previous thoughts once and again.

My parents died in order to protect me.

And now, in order to protect my aunt's family, I have decided to live independently and leave home.

Am I doing the right thing? I don't know, I just know I have to.

What I'm doing must be right! 】

When you pull down the doorknob, you're greeted by the sky, which is already getting dark. And beneath the flaming clouds that skimmed over the dark clouds, I assert!
