"I'll go find her."

After Xia Jing reported to the two, he put his hand on the door of the ward.

But I haven't had time to do it yet.

"Ahh

The door was pulled open, and Lan Yang's figure appeared on the other side of the hallway.

"Are you coming to me?"

"Found it."

Lan Yang looked up at Xia Jing's face expressionlessly.

“…… Ya is also there. ”

She then muttered in a low voice after seeing Anai and Ye Ya standing opposite.

"It's been a long time, Lan Yang."

Ye Ya greeted with a seemingly nervous expression, but Lan Yang didn't react obviously.

"Welcome, would you like to come in and sit down?"

It wasn't until he calmly greeted her from the bed that Lan Yang nodded.

Xia Jing retreated from the door and invited Lan Yang into the room.

Although it was difficult to establish a conversation with her before, but now that Ye Ya and Yao are present, maybe the situation can be improved. All in all, try to get her to tell the whole story. The back of my sister, whose whereabouts have been unknown for a long time, feels like it is close at hand.

"Ah, I'm sorry. There are only two chairs......

"It's okay. I'm a boy, so just stand."

However, no matter how you please, Lan Yang just didn't mean to sit down.

It's just that the expressionless face that can't get rid of childishness is stunned in vain.

"You have to report it."

And say inexplicable things.

「…… Report?"

Xia Jing asked rhetorically. So, as if it wasn't the same thing, Lan Yang said in front of the three of them, "Report to Nangong that Ye Ya is here."

「…… Blue Sun!"

Ye Ya reflexively got up from the chair and shouted in a posture, "You guy really ......."

Contrary to Ye Ya, who was frowning deeply, Lan Yang still stood expressionlessly in place.

"Wait, don't get bored."

Xia Jing hurriedly stopped Ye Ya.

Blue Yang always gives people a sense of incongruity. It's not a conversation that is completely valid, and it's not clear whether you're looking at the person you're talking to, or whether your expression doesn't change at any time.

Gotta report — that's what she said. Why is that?

I'm afraid it's because someone ordered her to have a relationship that she must report.

Thinking about it carefully, from Lan Yang's words and deeds, I can't see that she has considered the perception of the outside world.

As soon as the appointment time arrived, Xia Jing, who was halfway through the conversation, went to the hospital.

Because someone ordered him to report as soon as he had a situation, he did it in front of Ye Ya.

Xia Jing looked at Anai in the corner of the ward. She is a living corpse, but unlike Lan Yang, not only will her eyes not drift, but she can also have a good conversation with people face to face.

The similarity between the two is that the expressionless face seems to have disappeared from all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

And no matter what others ask and explain something, they are always obedient and overly obedient reactions-

"Senior Sister Lanyang."

Xia Jing stared into her eyes and asked, "You...... Don't you have feelings?"

Lan Yang replied.

That answer was even more crisp and neat than Xia Jing imagined, but it was also slightly different from the expected answer.

"There's no need for that kind of thing."

Lan Yang said as if he didn't take it any seriously.

It's like saying that you're just throwing away unwanted trash.

“…… Why? ”

"There's no why, no need is no need."

"Why is it because you're sick?"

"It's not about getting sick."

"Why, exactly? Why do you feel that feelings are unnecessary? ”

"Because it doesn't make sense."

Xia Jing, who was stunned, Ye Ya, who was speechless, died with bated breath.

Facing the three of them, Lan Yang still continued with an expressionless face and in a tone without any emotion: "Since Sister Ning disappeared, there has been nothing to be happy about. So I don't need to be happy. Grief is not there in the first place. Because I am a descendant of a family that abstains from rituals. I was taught that I had to recognize my destiny. Even if you are sad and crying, your fate will not change. So I don't need feelings. ”

"Recognize fate? Who said that? ”

Ye Ya said in an angry voice.

"Elder."

"Why would the elder say such a thing?"

Ye Ya stepped forward aggressively and firmly grasped Lan Yang's shoulder.

Lan Yang neither shouted pain nor asked Ye Ya to stop, but only answered truthfully.

Just - answered the question lightly.

"Because I am a descendant of a traitor's family. It's nice to be in the village just to be there."

「…… Hey, that doesn't mean—"

Although Xia Jing is not from the Deer Clan, he has also heard some sporadic information.

Before Ye Ya and the others were about to be born, there was a dispute in the village.

That is, the case of someone from a clan who advocated extermination, and as a result, was expelled from the village and killed.

It was only recently that the fact that the man was actually alive was revealed. The man stepped back into the background and incited people who shared his own ideas, set fire to the village, and raised the banner of prosperity.

That person is An Le, who was the successor of the family in the past, and is also Yeya's aunt.

So that means --

"Your mother...... Once...... Have you supported Anle?"

Lan Yang nodded. After confessing frankly, she was still expressionless.

「…… How is that possible?"

Ye Ya barely managed to squeeze out his voice as if coughing up blood.

"How is that possible...... How could such a stupid thing happen? Just because Lanyang your mother agrees with An Le? So warn you that you must recognize your fate? You...... The reason why you refused to play with me in the past is because ......?"

"I have to know my fate. I can't get too close to you."

「…… What a joke!"

With an angry scream, Ye Ya took Lan Yang into his arms.

"What's going on in the minds of the Elders! Why should you ...... Let you have nothing to do with that responsibility! Again...... If you're responsible, am I'm not the same! The one who deceived your mother is none other than mine...... She's the eldest daughter of my family!"

「…… That was probably a decision made by the elders alone."

The person who made the inference also looked like he was depressed.

"I don't think my family has a position to oppose it. Perhaps it was because the heir of the family betrayed the division of the family, which led to the loss of his voice...... After all, sacrifices are indispensable to rebuild the ruined village."

- And the sacrifice is Lan Yang and her family.

"We were young and ignorant, and we were all kept in the dark. Even about the rebellion, the adults only told us that Lord Anle had been expelled from the village...... Those adults must have tried to hide everything. He refused to tell the truth to future generations, and shifted all the blame to the exiled Lord Anle."

"Mother...... And my father didn't mention a word or phrase to me."

Ya's voice seemed to be squeezed out of the depths of his chest.

"I'm sorry, Blue Wing. I...... We've all been kept in the dark......

Ye Ya's apologetic voice made Xia Jing's heart cramp.

Ya always hopes that she can be selfless and strong. Because of this, even if it was an unintentional mistake, she still couldn't forgive herself for being one of the perpetrators who once excluded Lan Yang.

As a result, she had a strong sense of guilt for Lan Yang.

But the words of apology and her apologies may have been too late.

Lan Yang, who was hugged tightly by Ye Ya, did not show the slightest sign of being moved in his heart on his face.

No matter how much Ye Ya tried to make amends, it would probably be in vain. A heart that has been completely dead does not feel any emotion.

It's not hard to imagine if it's a summer scene.

What would it be like to be forbidden to communicate in a small society like a small village, where there is nowhere to escape? Under the orders of adults who do not allow you to communicate with people, you are unable to make friends and can only live alone with the sadness, loneliness and despair you face.

Blue Wing had to abandon everything to withstand it all.

——In order not to let the heart collapse, the only way to kill the soul is to strangle the heart——

Xia Jing didn't want to lash out at the Deer Clan. In the same situation, eighty percent of human beings will do the same stupid thing. That's a mechanism. It is necessary to keep the system working and prevent the organization from collapsing, so they just follow the sampling mechanism.

「…… Blue Wings."

Soon, Ye Ya slowly let go of Lan Yang and whispered with anger, "Join us. I'll never put you in pain again. Promise never again."

"That's impossible."

But Lan Yang shook his head and rejected Ye Ya's serious declaration.

"Nangong came to me first, so I can't join Ye Ya you."

"Why! The leader of the prosperity faction is that peace! O mastermind who instigated thy mother, and caused thee to be in torment! Why do you bother to obey that kind of creature's orders!"

"That's not right...... Yaya."

Xia Jing couldn't help but interrupt from the side.

"It doesn't matter to her...... It's too late."

Since she has given up her feelings, there will naturally be no hatred.

Even if the other party is the mastermind who forced Bai Ji to a dead end, she still obeys her orders.

"Why do you even say such things as Xia Jing! How can it ...... How can you sit idly by and watch such a thing happen?"

Xia Jing can understand Ye Ya's mood as she argues with her own reasoning.

This guy has an innocent personality and has a stoic self-esteem.

Such a Ye Ya cannot understand and accept the reality in front of him. Presumably, I don't want to admit the fact that once something is twisted and fixed, it can never be restored to its original state.

However, Xia Jing's mood is the same as Ye Ya's.

It's not that Xia Jing feels how innocent and upright he feels.

All Xia Jing harbored in his heart was hopeless selfishness. Seeing contradictions and absurdities attacking those around me can mess up my mood. Don't let me see that kind of thing—that's what Xia Jing had in mind.

"Ahh

Is it because Ye Ya vented his anger on his behalf, but he calmed down? Or did you become calm because you were overly angry? The sound in his throat was so calm that even Xia Jing himself was startled.

Then, Xia Jing took out the bad-hearted tone that was usually rated as a black-hearted liver by his friends and said, "Ye Ya...... Since it's useless to say that it's useless, then I can't help but say that I just took her away."

「…… Huh?"

"Her feelings are none of our business. Let's kidnap Senior Sister Lanyang and leave the Prosperity Party."

"Xia Jing, you—"

"If you can't get in touch, you can't give an order, right?"

Keisuke gave a bold and fearless smile to the speechless dead leaves.

Ye Ya's gaze went back and forth between Xia Jing and Lan Yang, and he couldn't make up his mind.

"Really...... You have a point."

But it didn't take long for him to seem to figure it out, with a faint smile on his face.

"In short, it's just to let her people be in the enemy camp and can't help herself...... Xia Jing, you are amazing."

"It's nothing great. By the way, can you stop praising me......

Every time he was complimented, Xia Jing was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole drill. However, this is indeed an idea that Ye Ya can't come up with even if he wants to break his head. Because her personality is so upright that she doesn't know how to think about it.

- I mean, this kind of crooked idea is more suitable for me to think about.

"Blue Sun. I'm sorry, but we decided to kidnap you."

I don't know if I appreciate Xia Jing's suggestion quite a lot, or because the confusion in my heart was swept away, Ye Ya even announced in front of Lan Yang that she was going to kidnap her.

Xia Jing looked at Lan Yang, who might have been stunned because he was confused, and thought-

Ahh

Even if the relationship is dead.

No matter how closed your heart is.

Lan Yang and the others are not dead after all.

She is not like Fang Yuan, Lizi, and her sister - she is no longer in this world.

So there is still a glimmer of hope. Although it may be difficult and it may be a fool's dream, the difference between going to another world is really heaven and earth.

Xia Jing didn't know why he had this thought. However, Keisuke wants to see the smile of the girl who has killed her feelings - and he silently makes up his mind that he must find a way to make her laugh.

The situation came very abruptly.

It happened right after deciding what to do with Lan Yang. Xia Jing is about to return to his own house, and Ye Ya and Anai are also preparing to bring Lan Yang back to the Lost House, when the atmosphere of returning home begins to surround everyone......

Poof.

The fluorescent lights that had been shining on the ceiling of the hospital room suddenly went out.

"Huh?"

"What?"

Xia Jing and the others shouted out in surprise. Although the sun has set, the night has not yet fully fallen, so it is not yet dark. However, the light was so faint that I could only dimly recognize the objects around me.

"Power outage?"

"But it's good out there."

Faintly speaking, he was pointing to the window from where the bed was.

Natsu Jing also confirmed. Although you can only see a few houses and a few street lamps at night, you can tell that the lights in other places are functioning normally.

"So only the hospital has a power outage?"

"That's impossible." Xiao shook his head and vetoed Xia Jing's question.

"This is a hospital. Power outages can be life-threatening...... Not to mention that this is the first time this has happened."

Ye Ya and Yao seemed a little unconcerned, chatting "I don't know what's wrong", "Can't I contact Mr. Tian" and so on. But Xia Jing - only Xia Jing, who is not from the Suzuka family, has a bad premonition.

「…… Senior Sister Lanyang."

"What's the matter?" Lan Yang, who didn't feel panicked at all even if the power went out suddenly, turned his head expressionlessly.

Xia Jing asked her a question nervously: "Prosperous people...... Will you attack here?"

"Xia Jing, what nonsense are you talking about. Even if it was a prosperous faction, he was not stupid enough to do anything that harmed Tian Hospital.

Ye Ya replied, but Xia Jing didn't think so.

For both the family and the Prosperity faction, this is an inviolable sanctuary.

It was precisely because it was operating from a position completely unrelated to the chaos and turmoil of the clan – a place where such a detached stance had to be operated – that it was not permissible to involve the hospital in civil unrest. As long as it is a person of the same clan, it must be far more familiar with this matter than Xia Jing. Moving crooked thoughts to this hospital is probably the same thing to the prosperity faction as strangling one's own neck.

But – and because of that.

Because it's a place where vandalism is strictly prohibited, blind spots are possible, aren't they?

"The answer? Senior Sister Lanyang, please answer me!"

Xia Jing swallowed back his pounding heart and urged Lan Yang to reply.

Lan Yang was silent for a few seconds before nodding as if he had taken it for granted.
