Chapter 5
The world of truth thought, whoever believes you is unlucky.
You are such a grown-up, and you are not ashamed to say such a lie. Oh, because there is not a person standing in front of you, but a bird lying on the ground, you think you can say such a thing?
The world of truth ignored them.
Only people who are desperate and insane may believe that I will protect you, because they are desperate and have no other choice but to try anything. The world of truth has not reached that stage yet, and does not think that he is in that situation now, so he does not think there is anything to be happy about Araki's words. Others
did not think so. They all laughed, as if they were finally seeing Araki's lively side as a young man and felt relieved like an elder.
The world of truth felt even more uncomfortable.
He has no elders, and he doesn't feel happy being surrounded by people.
For some reason, the True World looked at Araki and suddenly felt that Araki was a little pitiful. Although he had everything, he was not happy, and he didn't like what he had. He didn't think this kind of life was something to look forward to and enjoy, even though he had countless flowers and applause that others could not get.
In this way, Araki is even more pitiful, like an exquisite display placed in a glass showcase for everyone who passes by to see. Everyone around him is someone he knows and someone who knows him, but they have no empathy or sympathy for his situation. They seem to be completely different, unable to communicate or connect. Araki can't speak, can't refute, can't refuse.
Nor can he resist.
They don't treat Araki with the attitude of treating an object, but their inner thoughts and their actions towards Araki's actual situation have undoubtedly turned Araki into a saleable object.
Although it is unknown what object or who will come to buy Araki.
However, Araki was obviously not satisfied with this situation. He didn't like it and he was not happy, but others thought it didn't matter because the life he lived was what others had been seeking for generations. If he expressed his thoughts, he would only be considered ignorant of the times and not worth the effort. He was an ungrateful person who had pretended to be good before and had not been beaten by life, so he could talk nonsense.
Maybe it was because Araki was not reckless enough?
The world of truth was not sure.
It glanced at Araki and continued to shrink into a ball.
Araki said, "If you look at it again, I'm afraid it will cry. Let's eat. Isn't that what we are supposed to eat?"
Everyone nodded.
Things continued as if nothing had happened. This was just a trivial episode and no one would care.
But the reality is not like that.
After dinner, Araki returned to his residence and after a rest, he had to go out to attend classes.
"You are not allowed to bring pets to class, especially birds. For someone like you, it is impossible because the teacher said that a pet that is too beautiful will attract the attention of other students and prevent them from concentrating on the class. In my opinion, that is nonsense. Don't students know whether they can concentrate or not? If students can concentrate, they can concentrate even in the vegetable market.
If not, they can't learn even if they lock themselves up.
When I go to class, you just wait for me here. You can play in the house if you want. But if I don't see you when I come back, I will look for you. When I find you, I will catch you and then lock you up. You are not allowed to go out, anywhere. It's no use getting angry because you are just a little bird and you can't do anything. Don't blame me if you don't listen."
Araki said, reaching out and touching the feathers of the world of truth with his fingers.
Zhenli World staggered when he touched her. He seemed to like making Zhenli World unsteady, and he found it funny.
"You are cuter than anything else. You shouldn't be afraid of cats, right? I have a classmate who has a cat at home and loves it very much. He tried to bring the cat to school, but the teacher didn't allow it and told his parents. He had to send the cat home and cried for a long time. I'm worried that you will be scratched by the cat. You must not get in close contact with cats."
Araki told Zhenli World to pay attention to cats.
Zhenli World nodded perfunctorily.
Araki looked at it and smiled, "It's so easy to talk to you. Just say it and there will be a response. It's so simple to respond, but they can always pick the one I don't like the most from thousands of reactions. It's so annoying. What else can be better than them? Even I don't know. Maybe I will know in the future. I hope you will still be with me by then."
The world of truth nodded.
Araki stood up and said, "Okay, I have to go to class. You wait for me at home."
He touched the feathers of the world of truth, withdrew his hand and left.
The door was closed.
The room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary.
Maybe it was because of what Araki had told the world of truth before he left, but the world of truth swayed in the cage, huddled up, and squeezed into a corner. It felt a huge fear controlling its heart, and it was a little breathless.
With a creak, the door suddenly opened, and a strange servant walked in.
This person was wearing servant's clothes and tiptoed. He was not a servant who came in to pack things or clean up, but a person who looked around and saw the world of truth and immediately rushed to the side of the cage, stretched out his hand to grab the world of truth out of it. When this person stretched out his hand, he showed a gnashing expression on his face, and was pecked by the world of truth.
He immediately retracted his hand, furious. The World of Truth wanted to take advantage of the moment when the other party retracted his hand to rush out. Anyway, the cage door was open, but the gap was not big, because the other party was still blocking the door. The door was blocked, and the World of Truth would be trapped if it rushed out. The World of Truth had no way out.
It dodged backwards.
It didn't dodge.
The man grabbed the World of Truth in anger and used a lot of strength to hold the World of Truth in his hand, almost breaking the bones of the World of Truth, because humans and birds are two animals with very different sizes. If people are not careful, they may kill people, let alone kill a bird that is not even the size of a palm.
The World of Truth suddenly felt a sharp pain in its body and was forced into a state of coma. It barely retained a little consciousness and heard hurried footsteps. It was the servant who had caught it. After taking it out of the cage, he quickly left the room, closed the door, and hid the body of the World of Truth in his sleeves, as if nothing had happened.
He lowered his head and hurried through the corridor. Although many people passed by him, they did not communicate with each other. It was very quiet. After walking out of the corridor, it was also very quiet outside. It was so quiet that the world of truth thought that either his ears were deaf or his body was dead again.
However, this time the world of truth guessed wrong.
It was not dead, nor was it deaf.
The servant took the world of truth out from the hiding place, shook it, and found that the world of truth could barely open its eyes. It showed a cruel and hateful smile, raised its hand and threw the world of truth out with force. The body of the world of truth drew a parabola in the air, and there was only a slight bang. The world of truth instantly felt countless water rushing into its body.
At this time, the eyes, ears, mouth and nose were no longer organs for breathing air and feeling the world, but the source of pain in the water.
The world of truth struggled for a while, but its body was still in great pain. Part of the pain came from the servant's hand, and part of the pain came from the water around it. The water wet its feathers and its wings. It couldn't fly before, and now it couldn't fly even more. The water made its scalp numb, and its body was cold. It felt like it was going to die soon.
It suddenly lost its strength and sank into the water little by little.
The feathers on its body became heavier and heavier, as if it accidentally fell into the water on the ice layer that broke through the hole in the winter while wearing a down jacket. It was soaked in the icy water and couldn't save itself or be saved. The soul flew out of the body and gradually floated up. When it lowered its head, it could see its body falling into the water and falling into deeper darkness without any strength.
It felt like the closer the soul was to heaven, the closer the body was to hell.
The world of truth knew that it was impossible for it to go to heaven, so it struggled again.
The soul floated lightly, as if it was flying in the sky. After flying for a while, it suddenly fell down, as if a lead block was tied under its feet, or like a kite with a string pulled.
The soul returned to the body, and the numb parts of the body gradually recovered their temperature. The movement changed from slight trembling to hard struggling. Ripples appeared on the water surface layer by layer, and water splashed up, and water droplets splashed to other places, as if there was a fish here that was about to grow wings.
Some people felt strange, stopped, looked inside, and saw the world of truth popping up and not dead yet, and they were immediately shocked.
"How could this happen?"
"What is this?"
"It's so beautiful, it can't be unknown, right? Maybe it was a pet of some nobleman that was brought in and lost and accidentally fell in."
"Then what should we do? We might be held responsible if we don't do anything. If we go down to save it, our clothes and shoes will get wet and dirty, which will delay things. If we delay, we will all be in trouble, and maybe even our own lives will be in danger. Instead of trying to save a bird, it's better to find the owner and notify him. Even if this matter is resolved, we can't be blamed for whether the bird lives or dies in the future."
"This is a good idea! Among the palace, only the prince is the most considerate and gentle. Why don't we notify him to come and take a look after we finish this matter!"
