Chapter 174: The Mystery

"I've always been there for you, but you didn't notice it."

"For ...... Why? Kiki was plagued by new puzzles, and there were quite a few things she didn't know.

Rakshasa was not in a hurry to answer, she silently turned her head to look at the largest of the three huge sunflowers. This is a hint of the answer to Kiki's question, and the secret is there.

Kiki seemed to understand, and she was about to approach the last sunflower, when she heard Rakshasa say:

"Kiki! If ......"

"What if?" Kiki could see that her sister had concerns.

"If you're ready, you can succeed. If you can't accept it, then you should forget it as if it was just an ordinary dream, but you must be strong, you are who you are, you are an independent self. Think of the people who love you and need you, they will make you braver and don't give up on yourself! No matter what, I'll always protect you! ”

Sister Rakshasa's words revealed some kind of concern, which made Kiki feel uneasy again. What would be the secret in the third sunflower, she finally mustered up the courage to step forward.

In fact, speaking from the heart, Kiki's feeling in her heart is a little different from what Sister Rakshasa said. This feeling is more like being in a state of some kind of confusion, one's soul is torn into several parts by some force, and then each one stays in place or travels around, when the broken soul fragments play around for a round and then return to their original place with some information to be stitched up or pasted again, and these fragments are like separate and different individuals before they are stitched back into place. Just like different people have their own personalities.

The third sunflower is deeply attracted to Kiki.

Is that the ultimate answer? Is it a long-awaited puzzle, or is it another new one? Who laid down the three sunflowers here, and why are they sunflowers? Instead of peonies or roses, why do sunflowers release those things called memories? Why......

It's not too far away, but it feels like it's a long time. Is this journey and practice considered a long one? Will this be the end or the middle?

Finally, in front of the third sunflower, Kiki plucked up the courage to accept the secret hidden in the flower. She took a deep breath, ready to accept what might well be an amazing story inside.

Bright light shines in the middle of the flowers.

An An, who was riddled with diseases, was put into the sea by the people on the ark to hold a sea burial after the hope ark broke out of the fog and ushered in the long-lost sunshine.

Some of the icy waters embraced the sleeping angel, carrying strings of bubbles and landing in a large cluster of flower-like colorful anemones at the bottom of the sea. The dense tentacles of the anemones danced, as if to welcome the visitor with some kind of ritual.

This is the beginning of the story after a girl named An An lands in the deep sea. The sea anemone under her spat out a bubble, and the bubble grew strangely and grew larger, like some kind of container woven by the sea anemone, getting bigger and bigger, big enough to hold An An's whole person. In the end, like a phantom, it passed through An An's body and continued to float upward.

Little by little, the bubbles passed through An An's body, without exploding or shattering. What's even more bizarre is that a gray-white humanoid phantom was drawn upwards from An An's body, and the phantom had been sealed in a bubble all the time. The phantom's face could be discerned from An An's.

Kiki was surprised in her heart, could this be An An's soul?

The bubble carrying the phantom glowed white after completely detaching from An An's body, and it was a bit dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes. When the white light dimmed, there were four masked mermaids dressed in black trench coats. One of them reached out and held the bubble, a solidified, transparent hard bubble to be exact. The bubbles shimmered with golden light, moving with the four merfolk in black trench coats until they disappeared into the depths of the ocean.

The scene cuts to a bed full of glittering devices, on which lies a slightly ugly mermaid girl, who looks dying. Judging by the appearance, this person should be the young Rakshasa sister.

A black-robed mermaid held some kind of wand-like instrument in his hand, which looked like both a needle and some kind of probe that could read the body information of living beings, and lightly touched the forehead of Sister Rakshasa. Soon after, the end of the probe glowed white, and the black-robed merfolk retracted the probe and pointed at a mysterious bubble filled with a clear, colorless liquid on the other side.

Like a phantom, the white light from the end of the probe passes through the transparent shell of the large bubble and into the transparent liquid inside. The glowing white object began to grow in size with the help of the mysterious liquid inside, and a pink mass appeared in an instant. The mass is still growing and showing some changing outlines, and when you look closely, it looks like an embryo hatched from an organism, and is still changing and growing.

What's going on? It seems that the black-robed mysterious person extracted the genetic sample data from Sister Rakshasa as a reference information, and copied and cultivated a new life form in that container. What is it? Is it magic or science?

In the next scene, the container containing An An's golden shadow was taken by another black-robed mysterious person, and the light in the container was poured into the container containing the embryo below, and finally the two melted into each other, as if two lives were combined into one life.

The embryo in the vessel grows constantly, and the surrounding scene changes as if it were flowing rapidly over time. After ignoring many of the surrounding episodes, the embryo grows into a healthy mermaid baby. The surrounding light and shadow are still changing, moving like the sun rising and the moon setting.

The mermaid baby also turned its body as it grew older, and every time it turned its face, it noticed that it had grown a little bit larger than before. The more Kiki looked, the more she felt her scalp tingle, because the mermaid's appearance was similar to herself.

Kiki was surprised, could this be the truth about her origins? In his previous life, he was An An, and he was a mermaid made from a container with a body cultivated from the cells of Sister Rakshasa? How can this be true? No...... No......

Those black-robed mysterious people must be black-robed elders, are they mermaids cultivated in containers? Or is it a monster? This crystal sunflower that carries these memories must have been made by them, why did they lie to me like this, why? Are you going to make me a monster?

No......

At this time, Kiki was a little emotionally out of control, and she couldn't accept such a fact for a while. She shook her fist to pound the cold sunflowers, the stone flowers that were covered in some kind of curse......

No one encounters such a thing and finds themselves as an alternative life created out of a container by someone else, which makes people feel like they are a mistake in the first place, and should not have appeared and existed.

Kiki is on the verge of a breakdown, what the hell is she? Is it a robot made of flesh and cells, and water? A feeling of vertigo and indescribable hardship of having limbs torn apart swelled throughout the body. I can't tell if it's some kind of loss, or what it feels like, is the whole world joking with her......

"Kiki, you're actually lucky!"

A thick, powerful voice came from behind him.
