The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

She looked at her sister, trying to find some trace of the past, but she could not see any trace of the gentle sister of the past.

"Goodbye, Jaina..."

My sister smiled and pulled the trigger.

……

Jaina suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath, her clothes were already soaked with cold sweat. This was not the first time she had this dream, and she should have forgotten about it long ago, but... when she learned about guns from other classmates at school, or when she first came into contact with death at school.

It seemed that a classmate's father had died. He had no one to rely on and was a little depressed, so he finally chose to jump off the building, and she happened to witness the scene.

Scarlet blood spread under his body, and similar scenes stimulated her memory, making her recall the death of Adams' brother, which she had deliberately forgotten.

She saw with her own eyes her sister standing behind him. With a gunshot, blood spurted on his chest, and then her sister pointed the gun at her.

My sister wants to kill me...

Why would my sister want to kill me?

Gianna didn't know that she was just a kid who had just entered middle school and the life she was supposed to live was not like this.

When she was young, her brother always looked unhappy and spoke to her in a harsh tone. But she knew that every time his brother was praised by her for his progress, he would still look the same on the surface, but would become very happy behind her back. Then, when he noticed that she was there, he would return to his original state and ask her if she had finished her homework.

And brother Adamus, who always brought little gifts when he came to visit his sister, would give her woven wreaths from the garden and put them on her head, and then his sister would gently comb her hair and braid it into beautiful braids.

Her father always looked very strict. He would criticize her harshly if her homework did not meet the requirements. Whenever this happened, her sister would always stand up to comfort her and protect her.

And there is the butler, who always smiles kindly.

but……

But why did things turn out like this in the end?

It all started after the elder sister brought Sister Mostima into the house. The elder sister no longer wanted to see Brother Adamus, and the butler would refuse to let him see the elder sister when Brother Adamus came to visit. Then, a strong wind changed everything, and there were monsters everywhere. The butler left to lure away the monsters, and the elder sister wanted to abandon her and leave with Sister Mostima.

When they were surrounded by monsters, brother Adams appeared and came to protect them, but in the end it was his sister who shot him from behind.

Jaina opened the curtains. The night sky was cloudless and the stars were twinkling. The moonlight poured into her room and shone on her face. She glanced at the digital clock on the bedside. The time on it showed that it was still midnight.

She woke up a little too early.

She picked up the cup on the bedside and prepared to go out to get a glass of water.

The girl quietly opened the door and took a look at Mostima's room. At this time, Mostima should have gone to bed. She turned on the light. The curtains in the living room were always drawn, so the moonlight could not shine in at night.

Jaina took a glass of water and looked at the drawn curtains in the living room. She thought for a moment, walked forward and opened the curtains, then turned off the lights, stood quietly on the balcony, and looked up at the bright moon.

Brother Davion came over again recently and said he could take her home if she wanted.

Go home... Of course she wanted to go home, but what would happen if she returned to "home"? What was left at home?

Dad is gone, the housekeeper is gone, and my sister... is gone too.

No one will care about their grades anymore, no one will criticize themselves anymore, and no one will comfort themselves after being criticized.

My sister never came to the parent-teacher meetings at school. It was always just Mostima. Although Mostima was taking care of me, she didn't care much about what I was learning or how my grades were.

Jaina admitted that Sister Mastema did care about her, but it was not the kind of care she wanted, or in other words, Sister Mastema was not her real sister after all.

She had never seen her sister come to see her alone. She would only appear when brother Yu Feng showed up. Only when he showed up would her sister become like the sister in her memory...

Moreover, Brother Yufeng was different from Brother Adamus. He always had no expression, which made her feel a little scared. He would not always bring her small gifts like Brother Adamus did... He seemed to care nothing about anything about her. She once heard that it was Sister Mostima who asked Brother Yufeng to come here.

Because only if he comes, his sister will come.

Recently, he hadn't come here often. His original frequency of once a week had been reduced to once a month. Sister Mostima said that it was because he had adopted a younger sister and spent more time with that sister who was about his own age.

"Astaroth is indeed a good child..." Sister Mostima said while drinking coffee.

So why did things turn out like this?

When I was a child, my mother left early, so my sister and the housekeeper had always taken care of me. When my sister told me stories, there was a story that said that disobedient children would be punished by the gods.

However, she has always been obedient, well-behaved, and her grades have always been good.

So why? Why did my sister leave me, why did my life become like this?

She used to think that she was not well behaved and her grades were not good enough, so after coming here she worked very hard, never lost her temper, and her grades were always the best.

But even so, her sister still didn't care much about her. Her gaze never lingered on her. In her sister's eyes, there was nothing but Brother Yufeng.

Did he take away the love that his sister had for him? Did he take away the love that his sister had that should have belonged to him?

She doesn't know, she doesn't understand.

Is it the fault of Sister Mostima? Everything started when she came home, from that time on, but because her sister still cared about her as before, she just felt that life had changed a little, but not much.

Then, the time she spent with her sister became less and less, until that strong wind. She watched her sister humming a song while making sandwiches and putting them in the basket. Her sister never put down the basket from beginning to end. When everyone ran away together, her sister did not hold her hand, but held the basket in one hand and the gun in the other.

I have never looked back at myself.

All the changes seemed to happen in an instant. Just a few hours ago, her sister was still speaking softly and patiently teaching her how to make a sandwich, but a few hours later, she pointed a gun at her and wanted to kill her.

She knew very well that if it wasn't for Sister Mostima standing in front of her, maybe... she wouldn't even have the life she has now? But, maybe that wasn't a bad thing?

She wanted to go back to the past, but she could never go back.

Why is this so?

The place she lives in now is much smaller than where she lived when she was a child, but at this moment she still feels that it is too empty here, so empty that it seems as if she is the only one left in the world.

So, should I go back with Brother Davion? At least, Brother Davion is still the same as I remember him, not much has changed, and he will come to see me every few months, and then say that if I wait for him for a while, he will definitely take her and her back.

But, brother Davion, we are no longer in my eyes...

My sister doesn't want me anymore...

Jaina lowered her head, her nose aching. She wanted to cry in her sister's arms like when she was stung by a bee when she was a child. But who could she cry to? Who else could she cry in? Who else would comfort her in a gentle voice?

It's all gone.

The girl tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, and it took her a long time to suppress the sadness that was spreading because of a dream.

She gently closed the curtains and looked in the direction of Mostima's room.

If I go back, can Sister Mostima really take care of herself? She hasn't learned how to cook a few dishes yet, her room is always a mess, and every morning in addition to sending her to school, I have to go to work...

It really makes me worry about Sister Mastema's survival if she is gone.

Besides, what's wrong with staying here? Even if it's just a lie, at least my sister will be the same as before, even if it's just fake.

False hope is better than no hope at all. The unreachable starlight is at least in our eyes.

Or maybe she was actually afraid of change? She was afraid that she would have to adapt to a new life after returning, and that once she went back, she would never see her sister again, and once she went back, her current life would never return to the way it was before.

the other side.

Davion, unable to sleep, stood on the balcony of his hotel room, staring at the night sky in a daze.

His visit to the Fire Moth this time, in addition to discussing business cooperation and public opinion control with the relevant departments of the Fire Moth, also had implications for the Mu Continent. The king of the Mu Continent seemed to be very optimistic about him and gave him a lot of business assistance. He also suggested that he could bring his sister to live in the Mu Continent, and the Mu Continent would provide all possible conveniences for the brothers and sisters.

Under such conditions, it was hard for Davion not to think that there was something fishy going on. He also discovered that Lionel had been transferred from the Fire Moth, and that Mu Continent had begun to study Honkai with some fanfare...

After much thought, Davion could only conclude that the Fire Moth and Mu Continent had fallen out. Apart from their apparent friendship, the two sides had actually begun to go their separate ways.

With his current status as a peripheral staff member, apart from the few words he could say in Europe because of his wealth, the information he could obtain was very limited. Neither the Fire Moth nor Mu Dalu would let him see some important information. He was not worthy of such conditions offered by Mu Dalu.

But now Mu Dalu did just that, and specifically emphasized his sister in the Fire Moth. Davion could only think that this was to use them to threaten his sister Lilith.

My sister seems to have a very high status in the Fire Moths, or in other words, the guy she likes seems to be a leader among the Fire Moths warriors. He has killed many of the apostles of Honkai that have appeared so far.

"No matter how hard I try, in their eyes, I'm always just a chess piece..." Davion sighed softly. If it were just that, it wouldn't bother him so much.

The source of everything came from his grandfather's diary that he accidentally discovered, which recorded some things that were unbelievable to him and almost destroyed his past cognition.

My sister is completely different from what I think she is.

"…That child has an abyss in her eyes. I cannot let her learn too much, and I cannot let her have the opportunity to contact the world. If she does, it will definitely lead to disaster. I can only hope that through the teaching of countless etiquette, through the learning of countless artistic skills that have nothing to do with power, I can wash away the fire of karma in her heart. I can only hope this way."

This was my grandfather’s final conclusion. In his diary after that, my sister gradually became like what I remembered her to be. However, my grandfather still wrote this in his diary the day before his death.

"…She didn't change, she just learned to disguise…"

"No...we are family, a family connected by blood..." Davion whispered softly. He found it hard to believe that his sister's behavior in the nearly ten years since then was all fake.

However, he now feels ashamed of his grandfather's wisdom and foresight. He has long surpassed his dead father. But some of the things recorded in his grandfather's diary can still predict some of the things that are happening now.

So... has my sister been deceiving herself and everyone for so many years?

Davion thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to hide this matter in his heart and stop thinking about it. He just comforted himself like this: "If you wear a mask for a long time, you can't take it off."

Chapter 264 Davion: I understand!

"Really? So, your sister doesn't plan to leave Fire Moth..." Lionel looked at Davion, not seeming surprised by the answer. "Have you told her that if she is willing to come to Mu Continent, Mu Continent will provide the best educational resources, and we will also take good care of her on a daily basis?"

"Of course." Davion looked at Lionel expressionlessly and said, "However, I want to ask one thing clearly. Mu Continent is the center of the world today and has the best educational resources in the world, but...providing these for my sister will inevitably occupy other people's resources. There is no kindness without reason in the world. Can you tell me, what do you want?"

Lionel stared into Davion's eyes, his hands resting on his chin. He did not directly answer Davion's question, but asked back: "In your eyes, your sister is not good enough to have better educational resources?"

"Of course I believe that Jaina is good enough." Davion said in a deep voice.

Lionel leaned back and said in a nonchalant tone, "Isn't that right? When I was in Fire Moth, I also noticed this sister of yours and Lilith's. Haha... her sister and brother, one is one of the best warriors in Fire Moth, and even killed the fifth Herrscher alone, while her brother, after a misfortune at home, gave up his studies and devoted himself to the business world, defeating all his competitors by himself. With such a good example in front of me, how could a sister be left out?"

Davion didn't respond to Lionel's words.

"Even if she comes to Mu Continent and takes up other people's educational resources, so what?" Lionel said lightly, "Who cares about those incompetent people? They can only blame themselves for not having the ability. This is the law of this world. The capable ones get the job and the fittest ones survive. What's more, this world is often unfair."

"I don't deny it, but I still say that there is no kindness without reason." Davion said, "Even if Mu Continent doesn't need to provide this door, I am confident that my sister can open it herself. So, I just need you to give me a word, have Mu Continent and the Fire Moth broken off?"

Lionel was silent for a moment, then said: "You are a smart man, I think you have guessed what we want to do, so I will get straight to the point here. We need you and your sister as middlemen. We don't require you to dig your sister to Mu Continent as well. As long as she thinks about something, her position will shift a little towards us."

"Just for this?"

"Just for this." Lionel spread his hands. "No matter if it works or not, with sufficient resources at present, it's always a good idea to have more methods."

"What if I say no?"

"Of course you can refuse. If you are determined to do this, there is nothing we can do." Lionel took out a document from a pile of documents and pushed it to Davion. "Take a look."

Davion picked up the document and flipped through it, then his expression turned a little ugly. After all, he was just a businessman. To him, Mu Dalu was like an elephant in the eyes of an ant. It was too easy to target him... But, if Mu Dalu really planned to do this, wasn't he afraid of causing his sister to rebel and stand completely against him?

Suddenly, it was as if a feather gently fell on his heart.

"Sister...will she really care?"

The words my grandfather wrote in his diary came to my mind again.

"There is an abyss in her eyes."

"She didn't change, she just learned to pretend."

He also remembered that when he visited Jaina, he almost never saw Lilith. She always had tasks to deal with during this period of time. For example, this time, she and the other people in the team led by Feng went to a place where Honkai broke out to suppress it.

If it was just occasionally, then it wouldn't be a big deal, but ever since the Seventh Herrscher incident when I learned some truths about this world, I have almost never seen my sister until now.

The things recorded in the diary in his hand continued to disturb his mind. He did not want to believe what was written in it and would rather think that it was because his grandfather was old and it was inevitable that he would make mistakes in judgment. However, he would always keep thinking about these things and connecting them with everything that had happened before.

Before the Seventh Herrscher incident, I had clearly met my sister several times, but every time my sister pretended that I didn't exist and was unwilling to recognize me.

He also asked Jaina how she was doing in Fire Moth and how she got along with her sister. He did not miss the loneliness in Jaina's eyes. Even though she was in Fire Moth like her sister, Jaina could only see her sister and Feng coming together once a week, and had never seen her sister go to see her alone.

And this time, before he left, he asked Jaina again, and Jaina said that her sister had started to visit her only once a month.

But in Jaina's words, her sister has never changed and is still the sister she knows.

"She didn't change, she just learned to pretend."

If what his grandfather said was true, then the sister he knew... was never her true self? He was only one year younger than his sister, and his childhood memories had become a little fuzzy. He could still vaguely remember that his sister was not like this when she was a child, but later she became like this after taking etiquette classes.

I can’t remember what my sister looked like at first…

He only knew that the sister that everyone liked and praised was this kind of sister, the Lilith that he and Jaina knew. But if all this was fake, the face she showed to everyone was fake, and her feelings for her family were also fake...

What will happen?

Davion closed his eyes. What would happen? Just because everyone needed a Lilith like that, her sister pretended to be like that. She started wearing a mask at a young age and was trapped in a cage. The sister that everyone liked, who would comfort her softly when she needed it, and who would protect her and her sister when they were scolded and criticized by their father, was just an illusion she left to the world.

Neighbors need a good neighbor who gets along well with them, a father needs a good daughter who never goes against his will, I need a sister who always likes to show off and needs me to grow up as soon as possible to protect her, and my sister needs a sister who never loses her temper with her and always cares about her...

So she chose to play the roles they needed.

What is she really like?
