The vegetables on top were also roasted until slightly charred, but they gave off just the right fragrance to complement the aroma of the meat.

Ning Yu saw that it was almost done, so she started sprinkling seasoning on it, first on one side, then turning it over and putting some on the other side.

There was no light in the room, only the flame from the alcohol stove reflected Ning Yu's little face.

Ning Xuan sat next to Ning Yu and stared blankly, as if the aroma of the barbecue skewers was not enough to attract her.

Seeing that it was almost done, Ning Yu picked up several skewers, gave half of them to Ning Xuan, and also woke up Ning Xuan who was lost in thought.

"I didn't expect my sister would know this."

Ning Xuan reached out and took the skewers of meat that Ning Yu had grilled. She couldn't help but sigh at the evenly seasoned, fresh and delicious meat and vegetables.

"Can you tell me about the past?"

Ning Yu bit off another piece of roasted scallion wrapped with meat slices.

She bit off half of it, and some juice flowed out from the corner of her mouth, which she wiped away at the speed of light.

She really wanted to ask Ning Xuan about her childhood, but her mind was blank and she couldn't remember anything.

"My sister used to take good care of me."

Ning Xuan looked at Ning Yu eating barbecue and began to recall the past with a smile.

She was just about to continue speaking when she suddenly saw Ning Yu take out another box of strawberry milk from the space and just inserted the straw into the box.

Ning Yu noticed that Ning Xuan didn't continue talking, so he turned his head to look at Ning Xuan and found that her eyes were all focused on the strawberry milk in his hand.

Subconsciously, Ning Yu wanted to put away the strawberry milk, but soon she realized something.

Although the two people are created life forms, they are so similar that they may be unable to resist the temptation of strawberry milk.

Ning Yu had seen Ning Xuan fight and kill people in cold blood, and seeing her longing eyes at this moment, he inexplicably thought she was a little cute.

But at the same time, I also realized one thing:

No wonder Shen Yiyue always had an auntie smile on her face every time she saw herself drinking strawberry milk.

I'm probably the same.

Ning Yu took out a box of strawberry milk from the space and handed it to Ning Xuan with some pain.

"Thank you, sister!"

Ning Xuan happily took the strawberry milk from Ning Yu, poked the straw into the box in an imitative manner, and started drinking.

Ning Yu then realized that when she smiled, she had two small dimples on both sides of her cheeks.

I raised my hand and touched my face, and sure enough, there was some there too. I had never noticed it before.

"When we were little, we were not allowed to leave the yard of our home, so my sister would often sneak out with me."

Ning Xuan seemed to open up after having the strawberry milk.

"The housekeeper always has a headache and has thought of many ways to stop my sister, but my sister always managed to defeat them."

"And it was clearly me who wanted to go out and play, but my sister said that she was the one who took me away and she took the blame all by herself."

"So it's always the older sister who gets punished the most."

Ning Xuan was talking about these childhood events, but Ning Yu had no recollection of them at all, and couldn't even find the image in his mind.

"It hurts a lot when I do the experiment, and my sister always comforts me."

"In fact, I know that my sister was in pain as well. In fact, because she is physically older, she has been experimented on more often than I have."

She looked at Ning Yu with complicated eyes, as if she remembered some not-so-pleasant things.

"My sister would hug me and say that she would take me to see the sea, to a place without pollution to see the Milky Way, and to the highest place in the world to see the cleanest snow."

"My sister said that we will definitely escape from that small yard and get out of their control."

Ning Xuan seemed a little depressed, perhaps because none of her wishes had come true, and the reality seemed to have become even worse.

“Gurgle gurgle.”

“Gurgle gurgle.”

Both of them drank up the strawberry milk and made a sound at the same time. Their strawberry milk cartons also shrank at the same time.

It seems like no one wants to miss the last drop.

Ning Yu and Ning Xuan looked at each other, and suddenly burst out laughing.

The two sisters even have the same habit.

"So what happened next?"

Ning Yu handed her some more skewers, and seeing that both of them had almost finished eating, she turned off the alcohol stove.

"later."

Ning Xuan's eyes flickered.

"Sister, the Tsukihime inside you didn't exist from the beginning."

"Um?"

Ning Yu felt as if she had heard some key information.

"When we were created and summoned, each of us had a unique fragment in our bodies, which is said to be the so-called 'yin and yang'."

Ning Xuan continued, but when Ning Yu heard 'one yin and one yang', her brows furrowed: "One yin and one yang, shouldn't they be brother and sister or siblings? Why are we two girls?"

"I don't know either."

Ning Xuan shook her head, indicating that she was not sure.

"However, the two fragments in our bodies must be taken out at the same time in order to meet their requirements for the ritual."

Ning Xuan pointed a finger at Ning Yu, then pointed at herself.

"That is to say, we need to be sacrificed at the same time in that ceremony."

Ning Yu seemed to understand the reason.

"So we're all going to die in that so-called ritual?"

Ning Xuan nodded.

"It's an unfair fate, isn't it? No one has ever cared about our feelings. We also want to live."

"But how can you tell us something like this?"

Ning Yu frowned and thought.

"My elder sister overheard us. One time, my father and mother thought we had sneaked out again, but my elder sister heard us while hiding."

Ning Xuan explained, then turned around and stared at Ning Yu intently.

"My sister, who knew the truth, used some unknown means to transfer the fragments in my body into her own body."

Ning Yu opened her eyes wide when she heard this.

"So the only person who needs to die is my sister."

"My sister helped me shoulder my share of destiny."

"But after the truth was exposed, my father was furious and was punished because the two fragments underwent strange changes in my sister's body, affecting the original ceremony."

Ning Yu had already guessed that it was probably those two fragments that formed Yue Ji in her body, the so-called key to the 'root'.

And he should have been still locked up in the so-called 'home', but when the disaster struck, he appeared near the small supermarket. It might be related to Yueji.

This may be a fate that has already begun.

She thought of what Yue Ji had called the "same mission", this strange ritual, the sudden T-virus disaster, and herself who had inexplicably traveled to the body of a little silver-haired girl.
