"My wish is simple. I just hope my child can grow up healthily. I owe him so much: a broken family, the fatherly love he never had, and the rejection and bullying from his peers."
"My life is worthless, and I know what my final fate will be."
"After my dedication, the colorful world disappeared from my eyes, leaving only chaotic darkness, which will accompany me for the rest of my life."
"But strangely, after my wish came true, everything around me seemed to get better. The villagers no longer rejected me. Not only did they accept my mother and me, but my family also let us move back home and take care of my daily life."
"I heard more of my sons' laughter. The man who abandoned me was found by the villagers and brought back to receive his punishment."
"My father is no longer irritable, and my sister-in-law and elder brother are no longer sarcastic. They often encourage me to live well and forget the past."
"I lost my eyes, but got everything I ever dreamed of. It's strange. My wish was to make my child happy every day, but the result seems to be me?"
"I don't think about it too much. Late that night, I was lying in bed and heard the clock. It was already two o'clock in the morning."
"I sat up, took my crutches, sat at the table, and used a fruit knife nearby to cut my wrists."
"Yes, I will still die. Even if everything becomes beautiful now, I can't forget the past. What I have done is like a shame, a brand that can't be erased."
"Having lost my eyes, I would only be a burden to my children. But when I cut my wrists and my body began to grow colder, my family, as if by telepathy, suddenly rushed out and rushed me to the hospital..."
"I survived and even regained my sight. I was surprised to see my family. They told me that it was the gods who couldn't bear to see my suffering and gave my eyes back to me."
“My family constantly encouraged me to live.”
"But deep down I felt something was wrong. The wound on my wrist was gone. My family stayed by my side almost constantly during the few days I was in the hospital. My son excelled in school. My husband, filled with remorse, turned wholeheartedly into a good husband."
“Everything became better, and almost anything I wanted was possible, but the weirdness inside me was getting deeper and deeper.”
"The excessive beauty makes me feel a little terrified. My family members haven't changed, but my suspicion of them is growing. It seems that everything is fake except for myself."
"While everyone was gone, I struggled to get out of bed and stood in front of the window. To prove my true feelings, I jumped down from the upstairs again..."
"I jumped from the fifth floor, but I still didn't die. I woke up again, lying in a hospital bed, but I didn't see any injuries on my body."
"My family members were beside my bed, crying their hearts out, asking me why I was so determined to die. My son was crying too, saying that if I died, he wouldn't live either..."
"It was a touching scene, but it didn't move me at all. Although they were crying, their faces looked wooden and stiff, and their eyes were dull, like they were mannequins."
"This time, I was absolutely certain that everyone around me was fake, and an unprecedented fear began to grow in my heart."
"I suddenly grabbed a fruit knife and stabbed myself in the chest. I gradually lost consciousness and woke up again in the hospital bed."
"Everything around me was unchanged again. My family members were still crying heartbreakingly. They were like a program with a one-way code, which could only repeat this. And the fruit knife on the table was gone."
"Now I completely understand that I can't die, and everyone around me is fake..."
"I struggled to get out of bed and tried to escape the hospital and leave my horrified family behind. But after I escaped the hospital, I was locked in a cage and it was pitch black all around me."
"I was trapped there for who knows how long. Gradually, fear turned into numbness..."
"I don't understand what happened, but I know it all started with that god!"
The memory ends here.
Qin Nuo saw Xie Fen trapped in a dark cage. He was right in front of him, but he couldn't touch him.
"Xie Fen didn't fall, she is awake." Qin Nuo was a little surprised.
This Xie Fen is more sober than Ade. The latter just didn't fall, but the former is not only sober, but even realizes that everything is fake.
This is without the help of wooden signs as reminders.
But even if Xie Fen is awake, what can he do?
The tree apparently realized that Xie Fen was fully awake, so it locked her in a cage, letting her become numb little by little before trying again.
Brother Yu let him read Xie Fen’s memory just to let him know that there are still sober residents?
Qin Nuo felt a little strange. When he was about to open his eyes, the darkness in front of him was suddenly covered by strong light.
Xie Fen disappeared, and the scene before his eyes changed.
A seemingly desolate village, judging by the clothing of the villagers, it dates back to a certain period in ancient times.
A farmer was passing by in a horse-drawn cart, and a seed fell from the bumpy road.
After being exposed to the sun and rain, the seeds survived and grew little by little.
The biggest enemy of plant growth is nature. When all the plants around it grow and decline repeatedly, only this cypress pine tree continues to grow.
The villagers also noticed its existence and would water and prune it from time to time.
Decades passed in a flash, and the cypress tree grew to be as tall as a building. During this period, it also witnessed the village's transformation from desolate to prosperous.
In summer, villagers would take shelter from the heat under it, and children would play around it, making the area around it a favorite leisure spot for the villagers.
