Chapter 202 The City(2/2)
The photo showed two boys climbing on a small agricultural helicopter to take a photo. The older one was wearing headphones for flying and had a sly smile, while the younger one was leaning against the door, with his round cheeks. There is still a bit of baby fat in the sunset.
Both boys are as handsome as girls.
A beautiful figure quietly walked into the house and slowly knelt down beside him.
Yuan Zhisheng didn't look up, he knew it was Sakura coming.
"Would you like to hear me tell a story?" There was a hint of tiredness in his voice.
"Yeah." Sakura responded softly.
The room was silent for a long time.
Yuan Zhisheng seemed to be lost in memories, and after a long silence he said softly:
"He is my younger brother, his name is Yuan Zhennu. He looks very similar to me. We are orphans without parents and have been fostered in the mountains since childhood."
"I never told you because he was already dead and I killed him with my own hands."
"Until the last moment, he didn't believe that I would kill him. This evil ghost never regarded me as the target he wanted to hunt. He was covered in blood with blood on his face. He walked towards me from the darkness and said, brother, come back. Well, it’s like welcoming me home.”
Yuan Zhisheng's face twitched slightly, it was the huge sadness that was stirring up a storm in his heart.
He breathed heavily several times, closed his eyes slightly, and the past reappeared in front of his eyes. The smell of blood seemed to still be floating around, and his voice became extremely hoarse.
"But I still took action because my brother who grew up with me has turned into an evil ghost. The ghost awakened in his body. My brother disappeared, leaving only the ghost that occupied his body. He killed so many people. Innocent girl, and I am already the enforcer of the family..."
"I threw his body in a wastewater well, and his dead eyes stared at the sky. I knew he didn't believe it, and he didn't believe it until his death that I would really stab his heart with a knife, but
I just did this. He is a ghost and I am the one who kills ghosts. This is fate."
"This is fate." He repeated subconsciously.
"After so many years, I thought I had deleted the childish girl from my past, but when he appeared in front of me again, I realized that I had not escaped anything."
The rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier. The wind rolled the raindrops into water columns. The water columns were like silver dragons dancing in the black night sky. Large swaths of rainwater hit the exterior glass of the building, making an explosion that was close to shattering.
Yuan Zhisheng told Sakura, who was kneeling next to him, the story of him and his younger brother.
"I will never forget the childish eyes looking at the sky in the wastewater well. For this reason, I have nightmares again and again. I dream that I am in a well where I can't see my fingers. No matter how hard I climb, I can't see the light. So I want to
Leaving this country, no matter how much power or position I have, can't help me get rid of that nightmare. I can only escape far away, go to a city where no one knows me, and spend the rest of my boring life..."
As he was talking, he was thinking, if they were not orphans, if a man named "father" appeared in their lives when they were young, wouldn't he and the girl be so lonely, and wouldn't anyone bully his younger brother?
If there is a man named "Father" in their lives, he may not take action that night. He will bring the girl to the father and let the father decide the girl's fate...
But there are no ifs in life.
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly remembered the "Journey to the West" from China that he had read when he was a child.
He told the story to the young girl. He said that the Monkey King, who proclaimed himself the Monkey King, was so majestic, handsome and powerful, but the young girl sadly said that the Monkey King was really lonely.
Yes, the Monkey King is really lonely. He jumped out of the stone and looked at the world in confusion, but he didn't know where he came from and where he was going.
Just like him and Zhennu, he didn't know who his parents were, and he didn't know where his future would go at that time, let alone that their brothers would completely go the opposite way on that rainy night...
No.
Maybe they were born on opposite paths!
The colorful neon signs outside the window occupy a large area of view, and the colored lights change in the window panes.
A storm is blowing tonight, and the rain is hitting the windows. In the glass, there is not only the night view of Tokyo city, but also the shadow of Yuan Zhisheng himself.
Those brightly lit buildings stood in the rainy night, like huge stone monuments recording the latest development of the city.
Yuan Zhisheng looked out the window, his eyes between clear and empty.
He thought about how big this city was. There were 13 million people living in this city called "Tokyo". It was so big that in the past many years, he and his daughter had been living in the same city.
I traveled through different streets but never met.
He once wanted to escape from the city and the painful past from the bottom of his heart, but now he suddenly found that he could not escape.
He can no longer go back and has no way out.
Destiny caught up with him again.
He must face everything head-on, just as he chose to draw a knife and insert it into the heart of a young girl on that rainy night many years ago, and make a choice again.
He slowly squeezed the photo in his hand, like holding the handle of a spider's cutting knife.
