The Left Hand of the Devil Chapter 3
In the blink of an eye, it has been three years since Jin Yu woke up.
Jin Yu walked out of the door according to the usual hour, the sun outside was mild and bright, but there was no one in the building, even Yan Niang's room was quiet and a little strange, and the feeling of being empty and flustered returned.
Jin Yu cautiously came to Yanniang's room and knocked on the door gently, but no one answered the door after waiting for a long time. Jin Yu leaned against the door and listened, there was no sound at all, and it was as quiet as death.
Jin Yu became more and more uneasy in her heart, and wandered around outside Yanniang's door for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to push open Yanniang's door.
But the room was empty, and only the lyre that Yan Niang often played was still on the shelf. The rest of the things, even the kite that had tortured her to death, were gone, only the thin dust on the table, vaguely outlining the shape of a kite, as if to remind her.
Everything in the past three years has not been a dream.
Jin Yu stood in place in a daze, but after a while, she rushed into Yan Niang's room like crazy. She opened all the drawers, the cabinets, even the bedboards, but they were all gone.
All the jewelry, clothes, and musical instruments that Yan Niang had collected were all gone, gone, gone.
All the traces, the traces of Yanniang's existence, the traces of the three years of getting along day and night, have all disappeared.
All that was left was her most cherished lyre.
Jin Yu sat on the edge of Yan Niang's bed in a trance, completely unable to understand why Yan Niang disappeared overnight, and everything was gone, just disappeared, but only the piano she cherished the most was left.
"Jin Fei?"
A man's voice suddenly sounded behind him, but Jin Yu didn't react at all.
"Jin Fei?"
The man repeated again, but Jin Yu turned her head sharply as if frightened.
It's been three years, and this is the only person who talks to her except Yan Niang.
"Who are you?"
Jin Yu hurriedly stood up and looked at the man defensively, like a hedgehog like a great enemy.
"You don't have to be afraid, I'm the law, and Yan called me here."
The man smiled slightly, and Jin Yu calmed down a little and looked at the man carefully. The man was dressed in white, standing in the room with his hands in his hands, his eyes were calm and restrained, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was very gentle.
But it was just a look, he looked like a piece of warm jade without edges and corners, but his eyes were like a bottomless ocean.
He is like a bright moon in the sky, coldly gazing at the resentment of the world, love and parting, thousands of years of time, into his eyes, but never into his heart.
No sorrow, no joy, no love, no hate.
"Where's Yan Niang? Where did Yan Niang go, and why are her things missing? I've never heard her mention you, why did she call you? “
"You take a look at this first, and you'll understand."
Lu paused for a moment and handed a letter in his hand to Jin Yan.
Jin Yu hurriedly opened the letter, it was indeed Yan Niang's handwriting, the handwriting was calm and orderly, obviously not written in a hurry, it can be seen that Yan Niang's departure was not sudden, but seemed to be thoughtful.
Jin Yu personally revealed:
In the past three years, everything I have done is just to pay for the mistakes I made back then. Now that the three-year period is over, I've done what I'm supposed to do, I'm finally able to leave, and it's time to tell you a few things.
You should have been aware that for the past three years, everyone but me has turned a blind eye to you. Because you are not an ordinary person at all, you are just a wisp of remnant soul now, and only the law can see you except me.
In the past three years, I have used the sound of the piano to replenish your soul, and laid an enchantment to trap you in the village, so that your soul can not be dispersed and become more and more stable.
After I leave, you use the jade key I left to open the grotto at the bottom of the pool, and there is a haunting hairpin in the grotto, as long as you wear the haunting hairpin, you can walk like an ordinary person.
Three years ago, your remnant soul was too fragile to withstand the power of the haunting hairpin, and now you can barely wear it, but remember not to leave or damage it with you, otherwise your soul will be scattered.
I entrust you to the Ritsu, but it is up to you whether you want to go with him or not. All the truths you want to know point to one person, Childe. If you want to get close to Childe's death, then you can only go with him.
Handwritten by Yan Niang
"Souls? Yan Niang means that I am already dead? Then how could I ... ”
"It took Yan three years to reunite your soul before you could barely withstand the power of the haunting hairpin."
"It turns out that what Yan Niang said at the beginning is true...
"She already told you?"
"No... It's not so much a telling as a threat. When I first woke up, I was desperate to escape. But she said that I must not leave her, or I would be gone in three days. I'm not sure if what she said was true, but I had no choice but to stay. ”
"What else did she say?"
"No, no matter what I asked her, she wouldn't tell me."
When Lu heard this, he suddenly fell silent, but Jin Yu suddenly had a feeling.
He was weighing what to tell her and what not to tell her.
"What about you? What are you going to tell me? ”
"Yan is not a good teacher, at least not the right person for you, but we have no choice but to save you, and she has taught her everything you should learn, no matter how you do it."
"You and Yanniang have known each other for a long time? And it's all your arrangement? ”
"It was our arrangement. Yan and I, we've been waiting too long for you to return. ”
"To make my return? I don't understand what you mean, Yan Niang she... She just wanted me to be gone, she didn't want to save me. ”
She really didn't want to, but she had no choice. It was her sin, and she had to pay for it. And you, you are the key to unlock it all, no matter how unwilling she is, she must save you. ”
"Unravel it all? I don't understand what you're talking about, I don't even know who I am, how can I possibly unravel something? ”
Lu stared at Jin Yu intently, his gaze was deep, calm, and far-reaching, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion.
But Jin Yu had a feeling that when he looked at her, his gaze seemed to pass through her body, looking at the world behind her that she had completely forgotten.
"If you don't tell me the truth, I won't go with you."
Ritsu didn't answer, but withdrew his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and laughed softly.
"You're still you, but it doesn't seem like you're you."
"Do you know me from the past?"
"Of course I recognize, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see you in the soul body."
"So I used to be...
"In the past, you can only find it by yourself, you won't believe what I said, and I shouldn't say it."
"In that case, it seems that there is nothing to say between us."
Jin Yu didn't expect that Lu would also be tricky and refuse to tell her any truth. There seemed to be a breath in her heart, and the choking that couldn't go up or down was in her heart, making her uncomfortable.
Jin Yu stood up and bypassed Ritsu and wanted to leave the room, but Ritsu spit out three more words, but they succeeded in making her stop.
"Childe is dead."
Jin Yu stopped, but only turned her head slightly, as if waiting for the law to continue.
She was also weighing whether the chips in Ritsu's hand were worth her concession, even though she knew that those chips that were put on the surface might not be a tenth of the real one, but she needed to use Ritsu's power.
And Ritsu and Yan, they spent so much effort to save her and cultivate her, it is impossible for them to have no purpose.
"I can't tell you the whole truth, but I can tell you very clearly that whatever you're trying to get back, your past, your identity, everything, it's all about a person. That person is the only clue and your only chance. ”
"Is my only chance? Or is it your only chance? ”
Ritsu laughed again, a very gentle and obvious smile, even the lines at the corners of his eyes were slightly wrinkled, but the smile didn't even reach the bottom of his eyes.
"What's the difference? You need my help to get close to Childe's death, and I need you to solve the dilemma. At least our purpose is the same, and following me is your only choice. Of course, if you want to get away from it all and fly away, I can't stop you. ”
Lu paused, then raised his head and looked directly into Jin Yan's eyes, his gaze was like a lightning bolt, shining straight into the depths of Jin Yan's soul.
"But I believe that you will never give up so easily and fly away without knowing anything."
Jin Yu was stunned by his gaze, but it was only a momentary thing. She met his gaze without fear, but she was no longer as simple as she was three years ago and refused to show weakness.
She looked directly into Ritsu's eyes, but her gaze became more and more calm, and even the little stuffiness that had just been aroused by Ritsu dissipated without a trace.
She is no longer the Jin Yu she was three years ago.
She seemed to understand the world that Ritsu represented, but that didn't make her feel the slightest fear. It's not that the law will play a role, but she already knows in her heart that she will never go away without knowing anything, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to walk into the Wusheng Building three years ago.
"You're right, it's enough that I know that. But I don't even know the identities of you and Yanniang, and it's too far-fetched for you to ask me to cooperate with two people who hate me to the core. ”
"Hate..."
Ritsu repeated the word softly, as if he was looking back and chewing repeatedly, but it was like a sigh, and even some long-suppressed emotions were released with this sigh.
"I don't hate you, I never hated you. Even, for me, you can barely be considered a friend, a child I watched grow up. ”
Jin Yu originally saw from his attitude that he didn't hate her, or that he didn't want to hate her in his heart. But she couldn't be sure if he would hate her because of Yan Niang, but she never expected that Lu would say such a sentence in such a melancholy and sad tone.
She had been the child he watched grow up.
This was the first time Jin Yu had seen such mortal-like emotions from him, but it was just such a fleeting, bland and almost traceless emotion, but it seemed that all his feelings had been exhausted.
“。。。 But Yan Niang... ”
"You'll remember your past with Yan sooner or later. But those are already fait accompli, and they can't be changed, so why bother with them. She made a big mistake and must make amends. Whether she hates you or not, willingly or not, she has already made amends. ”
"I understood that she saved me and took care of me for three years and taught me everything. But it was precisely because I knew that she hated me to the core, so I couldn't let go, what kind of reason made her do her best to save a person she wanted to kill with her own hands. ”
"Because she doesn't just hate you, because she once watched you grow up little by little, taught you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and loved you as a sister. It's just that everything has changed since then, and you can't go back to the way it used to be. ”
“。。。 Younger sister? ”
Jin Yu froze for a moment, as if she suddenly understood something, but that thought was like a glimmer of light, fleeting, fleeting, and she didn't even have time to see the color of the light.
"What do you mean... Do you mean that we had many good pasts, but they ended up in my hands? ”
Ritsu suddenly turned around and looked at the lyre that Yan Niang had left behind. Jin Yu couldn't see the expression on his face, she could only hear his voice calm without a trace of waves.
"You are just a pawn in the hands of fate, not you will be someone else, but Yan has never been able to see through this."
"Fate..."
"Yan made a big mistake back then, and indirectly killed you, although she woke up, but it was too late after all. The big mistake has been made, and there is no turning back. And the events of that year were so widely implicated that even we ourselves were trapped in them. Fortunately, he did his best to keep a wisp of your soul so that Yan could have a chance to save you. But we've been searching for a long time, but we still can't find a way out of this dilemma. Come to think of it, the only key can only fall on you. So it took many years for Yan to finally reunite your soul. ”
"He? Who is he? Since he is the one who keeps my soul, what about him? What kind of power can keep the soul? What big mistake did Yan Niang make? Who are you? ”
"He? He is your true master, but he disappeared after trying his best to keep your soul, and I am afraid that he has long since ... ”
Jin Wei frowned, still unable to accept it. But no matter how much she asked, Ritsu just kept shaking her head and refused to say anything more.
Jin Yu looked at the lyre in a daze, and the three years of getting along seemed to flash in front of her eyes one by one, and even the details that she ignored were magnified one by one.
From her sister to her hateful bones, what kind of past did they go through to push the two into such an unbearable situation?
Last year, in this door today, the peach blossom people were red.
The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.
"Since you insist on refusing to say, then it is useless for me to ask, so let me solve all this with my own hands."
"You..."
"I'll go with you, though I still can't believe you. But one thing you said was right, it was my only choice. ”
"It's best if you can figure it out, it's imperative that we retrieve the Haunting Hairpin as soon as possible, and then I'll take you out of the Misty Mountain."
