Chapter Fifty-Eight: Walking Alone (1st Shift)
"Ah Li, I still can't see through the true meaning of that person."
After the two of them did it again, Huiyin looked at Ah Li and said seriously and seriously: "But at least one thing is certain, what he said today is the truth. At least what he said wasn't a lie. ”
"I hate to say that, but we really can't disobey him for the time being. So, until I can figure out a solution to him, I can only let you be wronged and act according to his wishes for the time being. ”
Looking at Huiyin's serious expression, for some reason, Ah Li burst out laughing, "Hehe...... Teacher Huiyin, what you said is as if His Royal Highness Mo has really become the ultimate evil person who does all kinds of evil......"
After laughing, Ah Li straightened his face, "Actually, I understand that His Highness Mo is not a bad person. No, no, I should be grateful to him. If it weren't for him, their father's revenge would not have been avenged. Even we will die at the mouth of that monster. ”
Ah Li crossed his hands and slowly lowered his head, "And what he did was only because of the choice he made out of his own position." I have no right to reproach him for his favor......"
Speaking of this, Ah Li raised his head again and said with a smile: "And along the way, His Royal Highness Mo can be regarded as a courtesy to us." Judging by the attitude of his attendants, we were really received as 'honored guests' of the Usami family. I have to say that I was a little surprised at first. ”
Seeing Ah Li like this, Huiyin breathed a sigh of relief, "If you can think like this, then I'm relieved." ”
What Ali said is also true. Although the other party said that the two of them were his captives. But he didn't deliberately treat the two of them lightly, and it can even be said that he was really courteous. Even Mo's cronies were only told that the two of them were guests he had invited, not some captive, puppeteer.
Huiyin herself felt that it didn't matter, but she couldn't let go of Ah Li, for fear that she wouldn't be able to accept the gap caused by the drastic change in her identity.
And now it seems that although the other party does have some plans to use the two of them, at least basic respect will still be given. It's better to say that she really can't imagine that the dead fish face will put on the appearance of a villain, humiliating and making things difficult for her two 'weak women'.
"His Highness Mo's purpose is simply to let me, the most powerful witness, testify on his behalf and avoid unnecessary comments and slander. And what he wants me to say is true, so I don't complain. It's better to say that if it weren't for His Highness Mo's acceptance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived the next day......"
"What do you say, as long as I'm here, you'll be fine!"
"Poof...... Well, yes, with Teacher Huiyin here, I can feel a lot more at ease. Thank you so much for always being there for me, Mr. Huiyin. ”
Looking at the other party's smile in the moonlight, the corners of Huiyin's mouth also hung slightly, "Ah Li, in fact, the person who really wants to thank me is me." ”
"Huh?"
Huiyin stood up, walked to the window, and reached out to the moonlight. Her slender fingers flicked slightly, and the formless and textureless moonlight was actually grabbed by her hand like this, turning into a silver streamer, fluttering in the wind, "Ah Li, you should be curious about my origins." ”
Ah Li, who was watching this wonderful scene, was stunned, and then quickly explained: "Ah no, in fact, that I ...... I just ......"
Huiyin smiled, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else." I just think I really should tell you where I came from. ”
"I don't have much to say about the past before I met you, so I'll tell you about my origins."
Huiyin let go of her hand, the silver ribbon of light dissipated, and she looked at the bright moon outside the window, her eyes gradually became dilated, as if she was caught in the memories of the past.
"Actually, my background is not a big deal. Kamibai Ze Huiyin, this is my full name, this is what you have known for a long time. I think you can guess something from my name now. ”
Ah Li lowered his head slightly, and muttered in his mouth: "Divine Beast 'Bai Ze'......"
"Yes, the divine beast 'Bai Ze' is said to be a legendary ancient divine beast that knows all knowledge and history."
Huiyin tilted her head, looked at Ah Li, and smiled, "Ah, of course, I am not really that ancient and powerful being. Strictly speaking, half of my essence does come from this...... The other half exists as a human being. ”
"And my ability ......," Huiyin slid her finger, leaving a ripple of silver light in the air, "and it is similar to the existence in myths and legends." It's related to history. I observe history, I record history, and at the same time I can control history in some ways......"
"Actually, I prefer myself as a human rather than a so-called monster, a mythical beast, or something. Although the world always says that people are sinister, I still like human beings. I like their way of life, I like their customs, and I also like those who exude rare sparkle and warmth even in the dark. ”
Speaking of this, Huiyin smiled, looked at Ah Li and said, "For example, you, Ah Li." I've always liked you when I first met you! ”
Listening to Huiyin's straightforward 'confession', Ali only felt that his face was hot. His face was red, and he was speechless for a while.
"Ah, and that guy. Although I know that he is using it to coerce us. Even looking at his dead fish face makes me feel angry. But I don't know why I just can't really hate him. ”
Ali listened to Huiyin's narration quietly, and although Huiyin didn't say the person's name, she could also hear who Huiyin was referring to.
Huiyin shook her head, "Probably...... It's because I see some of my own shadow in him......"
"That guy is simply an 'outlier' among humans. No, even whether he was purely 'human' or not has to be discussed. Although I hate to admit it, humans do have an anomalous xenophobia. I think it took a lot of effort for me to be able to integrate into human life, ...... that guy."
For beings far beyond their own knowledge and imagination, there are only a few things that human beings usually do. Either they are afraid and afraid, and stay away, or they are excluded, suppressed or even destroyed directly, or they are curryed favor with them.
Either way, it is a heavy and helpless reality for Huiyin, who is bent on integrating into the normal life of human beings.
And that guy wouldn't be much better than himself. Even if his own illustrious background allows his 'anomaly' to be accepted by some people. But the strange gazes, frightened eyes, and invisible evasion or exclusion of outsiders will still not be less. Even his people could hardly avoid looking at him with strange eyes.
Perhaps today, with that guy's strength and status, no one dares to show those malice nakedly. There will even be countless people who worship him. But the invisible chasm has long been opened, and from the very beginning, he has been standing alone outside the 'circle'.
Just like you used to be.
That's why Huiyin said that she didn't hate that person. Because just looking at each other's figures, it's like seeing your former self.
Although the heavens and the earth are great, I walk alone.
