"Do you want a 'place to go back'......"

Chu Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged in front of Mikasa without any image, pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and then said in a voice that was as smooth and uninhibited as ever, but seemed to be able to soothe people's hearts:

"Then from now on, you will stay with me.

You, like me, are from the East, and our 'hometown' is not here, but in the East.

In our 'hometown', the vast majority of people have exactly the same black hair and dark eyes as we do, and we are not discriminated against because of our hair color and pupils...... It is even captured because of its 'rare' value. ”

Snap ......

Chu Xuan's last sentence touched the deepest scar in Mikasa's heart, she originally thought that the huge wound had been healed when she had recently obtained a "place to go back", but she didn't expect that when this painful memory was turned out again, she still felt painful in her heart.

She may not know why those people burst into her home for no reason, kill her parents and take her away, but as she grew older, she gradually understood the meaning of their conversations - it was simply because she and her mother were "very valuable" "Orientals".

It's just that the color of her hair and eyes are different, why did she and her mother suffer such a cruel fate just because they were "rare"?

"Mikasa, human beings are extremely repulsive to 'other' creatures, and these 'other' standards are diverse, race, language, origin, region, and many criteria separate human beings from the large group of society and become small groups.

As an 'Oriental', you should know very well that as an 'outlier' in the eyes of everyone, we don't have any 'place to go back' here.

Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not his hometown after all. ”

Chu Xuan's tone was as flat as usual, but it seemed to have a rare feeling of emotion.

Although Mikasa didn't understand what the "Liang Yuan" Chu Xuan said in his last sentence, she could still feel a certain sigh contained in this sentence that only "aliens" could have.

"Where to go back...... Didn't it exist in the first place? ”

Tears began to flow in Mikasa's dry eyes, and he muttered very sadly that his parents, the Yeager couple, and Alan ...... Even with these family members, she still has no "place to go back"?

"Because our 'roots' are not here, we come from the East, and naturally we should return to the East."

Chu Xuan turned his head and looked at the eastern sky from afar, and his voice seemed to have a few different depths, which made Mikasa suddenly have a kind of enlightenment.

It turned out that it was precisely because she and her mother did not belong here at all that they were treated differently; It turned out that it was precisely because she didn't belong here at all that she had always felt alienated from everything around her - except for the Jaeger family that had taken her in.

Even Ah Ming, the childhood sweetheart's partner, was only noticed a little by her because of her identity as "Allen's good friend"; The same is true for the rest of the training corps, who maintains relationships appropriately only to avoid being "ostracized" as an outlier, not because she genuinely wants to build friendships with others.

Maybe...... Only Chu Xuan was a little special, because he was the only person other than his mother who had the same color of hair and eyes as himself, but that's all.

"But in any case, the Jaeger family that once adopted you can also be counted as a 'place to go back'.

But it was too far away...... I simply couldn't get there in time. ”

Suddenly, Chu Xuan's words changed, and he affirmed the contribution made by the Yeager family "once", and expressed "regret" for the disappearance of this "barely qualified" "place where you can go back".

"Allen ......"

Speaking of Allen again this time, Mikasa finally couldn't hold back her tears, but everyone who had been quietly paying attention to this side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to have a reaction, it's bad if you haven't reacted all the time, Chu Xuan really has a way to enlighten Mikasa!

"That's right...... When Alan was dying, he entrusted this to me. ”

Facing Mikasa, who was raining down tears, Chu Xuan, who was reflecting his glasses, seemed to suddenly remember something, and took out a key with a long rope tied to his uniform pocket, as if he had been wearing it for a long time.

"It's ...... Allen's key! ”

Mikasa just swept it with a blurred teary eye, and immediately recognized the key.

"Alan couldn't say it clearly, but told me that he remembered that it was the key to his basement and told me to go and see what secrets his father was hiding there.

Although it is very difficult, if possible, I want to try to fulfill Alan's last wish.

- When I lead you back to the Sheena Wall, can you serve as a guide for me and go with me to fulfill his last wish? ”

Chu Xuan said a little here, even if Mikasa became his follower in the future, and saw the "original" in the main god space, Mikasa would not detect any unusual little lies.

Although Chu Xuan already knew what the secret in that basement was, at that time, even Alan himself didn't know what was in the basement, and of course Chu Xuan couldn't tell her the truth.

Although it is possible that Alan did not entrust the key to Chu Xuan at all, nor did he confess such inexplicable last words before he died, the secret in that basement was quite important, and it was understandable that Chu Xuan told a small lie that it didn't matter whether it was true or false for this reason and it didn't matter at all.

"Allen's ...... Wishes! ”

Hearing this word, Mikasa's eyes finally gradually regained their brightness, and their eyes gradually focused on the key in Chu Xuan's hand.

"I'll go with you!"

Mikasa nodded without hesitation, and finally accepted Chu Xuan's "temptation".

(Everything was as planned!) ）

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, revealing an expression of "plan...... That's weird!

Chu Xuan, whose glasses were reflective, just nodded imperceptibly, then took the key back into his pocket, said "That's good" in a flat tone, and got up and left without hesitation.

Although Mikasa seemed to want this key very much just now, Chu Xuan was not stupid enough to give Mikasa this relic, which had important symbolic significance, and then let her wear it close to her and miss Eren all the time.

You know, although the old things will gradually be forgotten, but the old things will gradually be revisited will gradually deepen the impression and beautify the impression to a certain extent, which is why human beings can never forget their first love, and think that the first love is the most beautiful.

Only by completely sealing away all the memories and related items of the past without leaving any traces, Mikasa's memories will gradually blur and fade, and even if they are suddenly turned out in the future, they will be nothing more than a rather nostalgic "old" photo album.

The biggest effect of the key left by Allen was to make Mikasa, who was hesitant in his heart, quickly firm up the idea of going with Chu Xuan, and secondly, it was used to open the basement of Allen's house that might touch some kind of self-destruct mechanism if it was opened without a key.

Although in this way, only when he reaches the basement and fulfills Alan's "last wish" will Mikasa feel that he is "worthy" of Allen, so that he can completely let go of his knot and gradually accept the new "place to go back", it is much better than making Mikasa hesitate all the time and always feel that he should not forget the past so quickly.

And because of the suddenness of the incident, all the personal belongings of their training soldiers were left in the camp of the training corps, and the other most important symbol for Mikasa, the "scarf", was not with him, and he didn't have a chance to get it back until he followed everyone back to the Wall of Sheen, and then went to the basement of Allen's house with Chu Xuan privately.

The next time Mikasa returns to this urn city, she will find that the camp of the training corps has been completely destroyed by the "giants", and the last obstacle to her "memory seal" has been removed. (To be continued.) )
