Xia Youyuanluo used his newly awakened abilities to successfully evade the pursuit of Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie. After confirming safety, he took off his mask, turned his clothes and jacket over and put them on, then pulled his bangs in front of his eyes... ..Everything returned to the way it was when I left the house, and I returned home as if nothing had happened.
Xia You and his wife did not doubt why their youngest son came back so late. Maybe he had something to say with his brother. It was good for brothers to have more contact and bond.
Going upstairs to his room, Xia Youyuanluo blinked, and the world became its most essential state.
Every line, every vein, every weak point of every creature, including a little bug...
Everything is clearly visible.
Xia Youyuanluo couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his eyelids, feeling the subtle movement of his eyes underneath.
It's real, not a dream.
He seems to have awakened an incredible ability.
Additionally, there is one more thing that needs to be made clear.
Xia Youyuanluo slowed down his breathing and closed his eyes. The world was dark and lightless. He was concentrating on meditation.
...That unfamiliar memory fragment suddenly appeared in my mind.
As Xia You Yuanluo continued to sink his consciousness, the scene that flashed by not long ago was like a fish being caught by Xia You Yuanluo.
——The light shone in.
Xia Youyuanluo knew very well that he did not open his eyes, but he did see:
The place we are in is no longer a familiar room, but a courtyard. I am sitting on the edge of this ancient-style house in the courtyard, holding a cup of hot tea in my hand. The temperature is transmitted to my hand through the wall of the cup. It is not hot, just right. It should be warm when you drink it. .
The fragrance of tea is permeating, not light. Explain that boiling water is used when brewing to soak out the flavor of the tea leaves. The temperature is not high now, which means the tea has been left out for a while.
What is he doing...?
Xia Youyuanluo subconsciously wanted to stand up and look at the surrounding environment, but found that he could not move and lost control of his body.
At this time, he raised his head and looked forward, looking at the two cherry trees in front of the yard. Further away, there is a narrow path with dense bushes on both sides and large trees several meters high nearby.
Is this somewhere deep in the mountains and forests?
Xia Youyuan Luo Xiang.
["I'm very sorry, but I have to ask the guests to help take care of the children."]
A figure sat down next to him, holding a sleeping baby in his arms.
["It doesn't matter. I've been staying here eating and drinking for free these days. I should be the one to say sorry."] Xia Youyuanluo heard a strange male voice coming from his mouth.
I see.
Xia Youyuanluo probably knew what was going on now. He was probably stuck in someone's past memory. Others watch 3D movies, but this is an immersive experience for him.
Hmm...pretty amazing.
["Please don't say that! If it weren't for you, my wife and I would have died long ago, and this child would not have been born."]
No one spoke for a while.
After a while, the 'I' in the memory said: ["Tanji, I'm ready to leave."]
["Is that so...Have you already decided...Then at least, please let me pass on your story and tell every descendant of mine."]
【"no need."】
["But... you are also a person who is afraid of loneliness. When you die, who will remember you? You should not bear unreasonable charges, and everything you have done should be remembered by the world. So, let me, an insignificant charcoal seller, do something for you. In this case, someone will definitely one day..."]
["No need."] 'I' turned to look at the person sitting next to me, interrupted him, and his tone was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Xia Youyuanluo finally saw what 'I' looked like from the reflection in the other person's eyes.
She has long dark red hair tied into a ponytail and tied behind her head. Her eyes are reddish brown and she has a handsome face. There is a flame-shaped tattoo on her forehead from her ear to the temple below her left eye.
Xia Youyuanluo was surprised to find that the man was sixty-nine similar to himself, especially the shape of his eyes, but the man's eye color was redder, so he said it was reddish brown. And his eye color is more brown, so it is brown-red.
Speaking of eye color, Xia Youyuanluo knew that his eye color was unlike anyone else in his family. Both parents are brown and black, which is typical of Asians. My brother Xia Youjie is not that dark, but he is still pure brown. At most, he is a little yellowish, but he is not beyond the scope of ordinary people.
Only for him, when the sunlight is not so obvious, it is okay, and it is even harder to see in the dark. But if he is under the sun, as soon as the exposure rate increases, his eye color immediately turns red to pink, which is vaguely consistent with the man's eye color. .
In addition, Xia Youyuanluo looked at the person whom 'I' called Tanji, who was wearing the clothes of ancient people, and 'I' was also wearing ancient warrior uniforms.
Xia Youyuanluo thought: No way.
Do people really have past and present lives...?
["Those who have lost their way will end up in the same place. No matter how the times change or the principles of behavior are different, they will eventually arrive at the same place. Tanji... You seem to regard me as a different person, but That's not the case. I can't protect anything important. If I haven't done anything I should do in life, I am a worthless person. So, there is no need or necessity."]
Xia Youyuanluo opened his eyes and returned to his room.
——It’s all right. A fragment of memory that comes to mind when facing the spider monster.
But who the owner of the memory is, it can't really be...the so-called past life.
The back of my hand suddenly felt warm, and moisture slid down my fingertips.
Xia Youyuanluo was startled and raised his hand to touch his cheek.
He cried?
*
After putting away the unfamiliar emotions, Xia Youyuanluo stopped worrying about his memory. It was useless for him to worry about it anyway, so he might as well do what he could do at the moment.
Taking the little black man out of his pocket and placing it on the table, Xia Youyuanluo poked the little black man lying on the table pretending to be dead with a pencil and said, "I know you can talk, I heard you."
"I don't believe that creatures like you can like people. I'm more inclined to believe that you are cursing me."
Little black man: "..."
"Don't you want to say it?" Xia Youyuanluo held his head and thought for a while, opened the drawer, took out a pencil sharpener, then picked up the little black man and pointed the tip of the pencil sharpener with the direction of his head. of holes.
Little black man: "!!!"
"I like you! I like you! I like you!" The voice was very frightened.
Xia Youyuanluo said thoughtfully: "So you can only say these three words?"
"Question, why did you find me?"
The little black man stretched out his hand tremblingly and made two gestures.
Xia Youyuanluo guessed: "Someone asked you to harm me?"
Little black man:......
Uh, well, that's right.
"The group I come into contact with the most that may harm me are school teachers and students. When school starts next week, I will take you with me to point out the person who instigated you to harm me. If you delay or lie to me... ...." Xia Youyuanluo stuffed the little black man into the pencil sharpener.
The little black man screamed: "Like like like like!!!"
