146. Tide

The conversation between the islanders and the priest of Chitori Shrine was like an excessively large haze, filling Jiang Yuanshen's brain.

At this moment, he instantly realized that the young girl of Chitori Island was not a so-called noble and elegant existence since she was born, nor was she a god loved by the islanders.

On the contrary, she is insignificant compared to the others on Chitori Island, and the reason why she can become a chick is only because that person is a weak person who has no ability to resist.

Jiang Yuanshen was sad in a land that was both familiar and unfamiliar, as if he was constantly licking a candy, and when the sweetness of the appearance entered his throat, he found that it was a sour and bitter medicine.

He believes that man is always an end rather than a means, and that sacrificing the individual for the greater good is not moral, let alone such a belief-based and groundless thing.

Everything that followed was like a marquee, one by one in front of my eyes-

Hanawa Norika is in the shrine and has been under the care of the clergy.

One night, she secretly ran out of the shrine, hung her clothes on the branches of a tree by the lake in Nakuyama, disguised herself as suicide, and actually ran home at night.

As a result, he was arrested that night, and the next day, Hanawa's mother also died of starvation.

There is no doubt that the teenage girl who has no support for nothing can be helped, and she stays in the shrine physically and mentally exhausted, only to be greeted by a sad reality.

At the time of the autumn equinox, standing by the sea is Hanawa Norika, her hands are empty, and her pure age is coming to an end.

In the presence of the islanders of Chitorishima, Norika Hanawa, dressed in beautiful clothes, was strangled to death by Miyaji in an open flame, and her chest was scraped open with a razor blade to remove her blood-red heart.

As if agreed with the heavens in advance, several rain curtains were vented on Zhitori Island together.

The heavy rain was menacing, and Jiang Yuanshen felt that this was the biggest heavy rain he had ever experienced, and even Lake Kamo overflowed to the ground.

Soon after, like spring returning to the earth, the ice and snow melted, and Zhiniao Island was well weathered and harvested.

The islanders of Chitorishima Island quickly selected the second young girl, hid her like a hidden treasure, and waited for the next catastrophe to worship to the heavens as a "human pillar".

The patrol from Nara made him wonder why the weather was going well on Torijima, and the leaders of Chitorijima wanted to reduce the tribute.

However, this made the inspector very dissatisfied, thinking that the locals were rude and barbaric, did not do their duty well, and only thought about being lazy.

At this time, the second young girl suddenly appeared, and she had a delicate face like Hanawa Kika, and suddenly made the patrol fascinated.

In order to curry favor with the emperor, the inspector exempted Chitori Island from paying tribute for one year, but took the young girl off the island to offer it to the emperor.

As a result, as soon as the young girl got on the boat and left, Zhitori Island and its surroundings collapsed in an instant, and the tsunami struck, and most of the thousands of people living on Zhitori Island died instantly.

Finally, some islanders suddenly came to their senses and began to shout at the surviving islanders-

"No! The young girl is the queen of our Zhitori Island! We should protect her! How can you give her away?! ”

A completely different sense of shame came from before, and the position under Jiang Yuanshen's feet was also shrinking.

Even if you know that the person who said this may not have malicious intent at all, it is precisely because of this that it sounds even more disgusting to yourself.

The young girl's body is her own, and it is not a public good, and she does not need the so-called protection of "We Know Bird Island".

Rather than this inexplicable and illogical thoughtfulness, it is better to think about the real question of how to fill your stomach.

The sea of Zhiniao Island was silent, accompanied by the sound of heavy breathing, and the feeling of death in my heart hit Jiang Yuanshen.

In the next few years, Chitori Island and its surroundings continued with intermittent earthquakes, during which as soon as the young girl left the island, Chitori Island would fall into a huge disaster.

Gradually, the society gradually became enlightened, and under the influence of contemporary knowledge, the older generation of Zhitori Island in order not to let cowardice and decay become synonymous with Zhitori Island, they erased the deeds of "human pillar chick girl" in various books, and at the same time kept silent.

Since then, the young girl has become a god who can bring happiness to the islanders, and has become a revered being.

In the next second, Jiang Yuanshen was ashamed of his thoughts, and this heavy sense of guilt pierced deeper into his chest.

The cheeks couldn't help but be drowned in tears, and the worry, fear, and anger that had been suppressed for hours were like a flood that burst the embankment, pouring out thousands of miles at this moment.

No one can replace it, and no one should accept such a fate for no reason.

No matter who disappears, whether her loved ones are alive or not, it is not a reason for others to decide her fate at will.

In a blink of an eye, standing on the beach, in the sound of the tide, Hanawa Jixiang appeared in front of Jiang Yuanshen's eyes again.

Her limbs are no longer skinny, but have the delicacy and fullness that a normal girl should have.

The girl stood on the beach as if she had just come out of the water, and water stains dripped from the corners of her clothes.

Jiang Yuanshen's heart didn't have the tolerance to change her clothes at all, and he didn't even have a little compassion.

The endless shame was like an invisible tsunami, swallowing him up, and he would not allow himself to have other feelings.

"Brother, I don't want to die, why do you say I'm guilty? If I really try to survive, and I deserve it, how can you unite with others to blame me? Or even want to kill me? ”

Perhaps frightened by her sudden opening, her deep voice clearly echoed on the beach where there were only two people, and Jiang Yuanshen couldn't say a word.

The overload of thinking in his heart made Jiang Yuanshen's whole body about to explode, and he admitted that he was too ashamed to do it to her.

I thought too much about it, but I thought too much and couldn't move.

Jiang Yuan wanted to return to the real world, but he couldn't find a way not to go back without attacking Hanawa Jixiang.

If you really want to do it, then what's the difference between yourself and those islanders?

Now I don't even want to think about a gram anymore.

"The initial disaster was not caused by me, it was caused by God, obviously everyone should help each other at this time, but let me sacrifice."

Hanawa Jixiang smiled ambiguously and walked over to take Jiang Yuanshen's hand.

Her soft palms were cold and cold.

"So, I want to live well, okay?" In the depths of her gaze, there seemed to be stars flying in the sky.

The beautiful scenery on Chitori Island makes people drowsy, and since it makes people sleepy, it means stability, and stability is peace of mind.

The truth was revealed, which made Jiang Yuanshen feel comfortable, but who gave the current state of affairs, this strange anger also carried away.

Everyone is doing something wrong, the islanders made a cruel "human pillar" for their selfish desires, and Hanawa Norika used the "Great Earthquake" as a means to indirectly kill many islanders in order to take revenge on the islanders.

Obviously, everyone is excessive, but why did it become like this?
