…
In Maizi Village, a baby's cry was heard, and the Hui family's child was born.
Five years later, that night, a pink-haired girl was standing quietly under the eaves with a red umbrella.
The sacrificial feast in the village was as lively and festive as ever. The high priest danced on the altar. Nothing had changed.
After the sacrifice, everything became quiet, people returned to their homes, and only colorful flowers and cigarette ashes remained on the streets.
The pink-haired girl who had been waiting from dusk till late at night put down her umbrella and slowly turned around. It was time for her to leave.
It seemed that she won the bet after all.
She put up her umbrella and walked out.
"—Can I go with you?"
Suddenly, a childish voice of a five-year-old child came from behind.
Xiaobai opened his eyes wide and turned his head.
You hold a rice cake candy in your hand and raise it high.
"I don't know who you are, nor where you are going, but I want to give you candy... I want to go with you." You said: "I don't have any impression of you, but I can't seem to bear to see you leave like this..."
The wind moves, the rain moves.
The girl stretched out her hand tremblingly.
Her eyes looked at you in surprise, as if she had seen an incredible miracle.
She slowly, slowly took your rice cake candy and put it into her mouth.
“Sweet.”
She talked about the taste and wiped the corners of her eyes strangely:
"It's a bit salty and bitter..."
…
Under the moonlight, two figures, one big and one small, walked away holding hands.
"Sister, why did you agree to let me follow you? I'm still a child and would be a burden to you," you said.
"Because..." The girl seemed to pause briefly.
After a moment, she finally found the answer and slowly squeezed out a voice from her throat:
"…Because you have a true heart."
sincere?
You opened your eyes wide in surprise. Even though you were only five years old, you knew very well what kind of person you were - selfish, extremely hypocritical, and definitely not sincere.
But why did the girl say that?
Does she know you very well? But this is the first time you two have met.
"Sincerely." You murmured blankly:
"Do I have... a true heart?"
At that moment, your breathing is paralyzed.
Those glass-like eyes, when looking at you, have warmth for the first time. She didn't say anything, but just nodded.
"Sister, where are we going next?" you said.
"Go...find the World Tree."
"Hmm? Sister isn't going to continue the journey?"
"No more traveling. This time, he's coming... By the way, do you have a name?"
"My parents died very early and didn't give me a name. My last name is Hui. Sister, please give me a name."
At this moment, Xiaobai seemed to be able to hear the sound of his own heartbeat, violent and moving, as if it was in sync with the heaven and earth——
Boom, boom, boom.
Like a ball of warm fire, burning in her cold consciousness.
"Your name is..." Her lips opened and closed gently, as if falling the reverse bell of fate:
clang--
clang--
clang--
"—— Hui Bai. How about it? Take... my name."
…
…
“Ding Dong!”
【"Hui Bai"'s memory lens, viewing completed. 】
…
Su Mingan finished reading Hui Bai's memory and opened his eyes.
What was in front of him was not the laboratory just now, but a dim room.
A man in black robe held a knife against Su Mingan's neck.
