It's strange, why would he still have thoughts after being shot in the forehead? It turns out that he passed the test.

Memories flooded into my brain like a tide, 112 times. In fact, I have experienced 112 airport massacres. No wonder it feels so familiar. No matter how horrific and desperate the scene is, I am accustomed to it. It turns out that it has happened more than a hundred times!

What's next? I hope I won't lose my memory this time.

Kato Megumi slowly raised her hands, which were a pair of dark hands. She turned into a black person, a Tutsi boy. Today was April 1994, 4, and this was Rwanda...

"So, why did my life suddenly become like this?"

Kato Hui's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice became a little choked: "When I got home, my sister also came back to Tokyo from Kobe. Mom made a lot of delicious food, including Sukiyaki, tempura, and deep-fried pork cutlet - the miso soup tonight was actually a little salty."

In fact, the girl knew that was the smell of her own tears.

"I wanted to smile at them more, but when I looked at their faces I couldn't help but imagine the bullets hitting them, so I didn't dare look at my father, mother and sister."

Kitahara Sora gently held Kato Megumi in his arms and gently touched her head. His tears wet the collar on his chest, and sad and desolate cries flowed from the girl's mouth.

"Why is this happening? The scenes of teachers killing people replay in my mind from time to time, but it's different. It's like a movie. But I killed many people with my own hands! It's not an illusion. Their blood is hot. They are all living people!"

The girl's sobbing became louder and louder, and her voice began to become intermittent: "I just want to live an ordinary life, and I just want to find someone who won't ignore me. This kind of thing... this kind of thing... even I would despair, Kitahara-senpai, you are too much! Too much!"

Komuro Takashi slowly opened the wooden door of his tree house, and then closed it gently in less than a second. He hoped that he did not disturb the captain and schoolmate Hui. Who is not a pitiful creature in this world? Compared with boys, girls are more fragile.

Kato Megumi cried hard, as if she was venting her feelings. She said the most nasty words she had ever said in her life, cursing Kitahara Sora. But for a girl who had never cursed anyone before, no matter how much she cursed, how bad could it be? She didn't have too many swear words in her mind.

It was not until a long time later that she was tired of crying and kept muttering, "Kitahara-senpai is so bad."

"There is a saying, 'People's joys and sorrows are not shared, I just think they are noisy.'"

Kato Megumi was silent for a long time before she continued to speak, as if talking about the past: "When I was in elementary school, I went to my grandmother's house for the summer vacation. The uncle next door and his wife were arguing. I didn't understand at the time, but later I found out that my aunt had cheated on me, and their whole family fell into a sad atmosphere."

"When they were arguing, the little sister in first grade kept crying, but they didn't care. I could hear the sound of debris hitting each other - another family was playing a comedy, and I heard their ugly laughter from the other side. The dog outside the house had its leg broken by a motorcycle. It howled in pain, but the perpetrator escaped shamefully. Ah, I even touched that dog."

"Looking back now, I don't feel sad for the little girl because her parents quarreled. I can't understand why the other family laughed so happily. The cute dog made the most unpleasant sound I have ever heard. They have many emotions, but I don't feel sad because of sympathy for them. I didn't feel sad before, and I don't feel sad now when I think about it. I just think they are too noisy and disturbed me from doing my summer homework."

"I have always been a human being. I am actually an indifferent person - but perhaps, all things, all joys and sorrows, are connected."

Kato Megumi stopped crying. She raised her head, stared at Kitahara Sora's handsome profile, and her tone returned to normal.

"In fact, yes." Kitahara Sora nodded slowly, gently rubbing the little sister's soft hair, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. This light appeared when the captain looked at Senior Yukino. Why is it like this? You are obviously about the same age as us, why do you look at us with the eyes of an elder?

"You can't understand their emotions, you haven't stood in their shoes, so your joys and sorrows are incompatible with your emotions. Just like you can kill countless unarmed people after getting used to being indifferent at the airport, you can only feel your own guilt at best. People are selfish. You clearly know the crime you have committed, but you can only think of yourself and feel sorry for yourself."

"In the second trial, your roles are swapped, so Hui can understand the feelings of those people you killed before. There is no such thing as empathy in the world. Only by standing in their shoes and experiencing it personally can you fully understand."

Kitahara Sora spoke softly, with a look of relief in his eyes: "Mei, I'm glad that you didn't lose yourself after passing the test. This trial is called 'The Meaning of Life'. It's very light, but also very heavy. If I'm not mistaken, the third illusion should be the Redemption Chapter, and you should play the role of 'Savior'."

"In the last trial, my name was Schindler. I saved many people, a lot, but still not as many as I killed." Kato Megumi nodded gently: "The meaning of life? Just because of the profession I was matched with, should I understand this thing better?"

"I hope you can live with me and Yukino. I was actually worried that you would get lost in the illusion, but if you can't even pass such a simple test, you will die sooner or later."

Kitahara Sora took out a pack of tissues from the ring, folded them neatly and gently wiped away Kato Megumi's tears. They were not that close, but he did it very skillfully, so skillfully that Kato Megumi didn't feel the slightest bit of awkwardness or inappropriateness.

"As an assassin, you must understand what you have to do, your position, and what you will bring to your target. Maybe these things are indeed too heavy for you, but you don't have that much time to grow up. The next game will start in five days. I just don't want you to have some kind of accident that kills yourself."

Kitahara Sora sighed softly: "In fact, in the first game, Yukino had already killed someone, and she took the initiative. She is just an ordinary person like you. Although she has a prominent family background, she is also a girl who has never seen blood since she was a child."

"So Senior Yukino has also experienced this? I actually always understood, understood your intentions, I understood it as soon as I left the illusion, Captain, but..." Kato Megumi suddenly revealed a faint smile, the tears on her face had not yet dried, but her slightly fluctuating expression made it feel like a warm sun was rising in this quiet space, she was so beautiful when she smiled...

"But, Captain, I still hate you. You've gone too far!"

"It's okay if you hate me. I will arrange another training mission for you tomorrow. It may be more extreme than today's. Well, I will pay for the points."

"Really?" After saying that, he slowly stood up, put his blanket back into the ring, and slowly stroked the silver bracelet on his wrist. It was too late, and he should go back to the bedroom to sleep.

"I won't feel grateful to Kitahara-senpai."

Her figure gradually dimmed, but suddenly she seemed to have thought of something and stopped teleporting. Her seemingly slender body slowly solidified again.

"Senior Kitahara, when I came out of the illusion, you actually felt that I wanted to kill you."

"But you realized I was awake after you put the blanket over me, didn't you?"

The girl was suddenly stunned, but she said nothing. Her figure dimmed again. At the moment she disappeared, her eyes turned slightly red again: "I don't understand."

"Because I want you to trust me unconditionally, so I must first trust you unconditionally." Kitahara Sora looked at Hui's shadow very seriously: "I will never ignore you again, nor will I forget you and let you fall into danger. You can trust me completely."

The girl disappeared from sight, and Kitahara Sora didn't know whether he heard her last words or not, but his meaning had been conveyed anyway.

She is a great girl and I don’t want her to die inexplicably. And my bet was right. She is a great girl and can become an excellent teammate. This sense of accomplishment is actually great!

Looking up at the sky, I had no idea that the moon had disappeared into the clouds, and between the lush leaves, two bright stars were shining brightly.

In fact, I have read a passage that, if possible, I hope that the little boy named Bruce Wayne has a wonderful childhood and grows up happily and innocently.

Instead, many years later, a great hero named "Batman" appeared in the world.

The same goes for Yukino and Kei. How nice it would be if you could live happily in your own world?

Letting you, who are full of infinite beauty, enter this world is actually sad even if you achieve greater success in the future, even if you leave this world in the future.

So, compared to the sense of accomplishment of winning a bet on an excellent teammate, I actually hope that this world does not exist and Yukino still hates herself, but at least this good girl will not be in danger of her life.

It’s actually not bad for Hui and I to be strangers. This world is not suitable for you, but you have been drawn into it.

Hui's birthday is September 9rd, and now it is May 23rd.

If we both live to see that day, I will prepare a gift for you.

'yes? '

Kato Megumi's white and tender little feet dangled in the gentle stream, and she listened quietly to Kitahara Sora's sighs to himself.

'I don't know who Bruce Wayne is, or who Batman is.'

She suddenly didn't want to go home, so she retreated into the shadows and sat by the stream not far from Beiyuankong, but he didn't know.

"Are you so strict because we were all chosen? You did such an extreme thing to me - in fact, I know you are doing me good, I don't hate you."

"I'm sorry for eavesdropping on your inner thoughts, Kitahara-senpai."

"You said you won't forget me, is it really okay to say that so casually? I know you don't mean that, but even I would feel embarrassed!"

"I don't know how you found out my birthday, but I will try my best to live until that day. I'm looking forward to your gift."

0 Section 9 Chapter 9 A touch of more~

Kitahara Sora forgot one thing. It was important, but not important either.

It is already past nine o'clock in the evening. I seem to have slept for four or five hours. Kato Megumi finished the trial at around six o'clock. After dinner, she chatted with her family for a long time, then took a shower, lay on the bed in her pajamas and entered the game space.

In other words, I haven't eaten yet, and Lingyin is the one cooking tonight. Although she didn't say she would wait for me, judging from the large amount of ingredients she prepared, she should be planning to make a relatively sumptuous dinner.

Although the child didn't ask anything after returning yesterday, he was still quite surprised from his expression. His brother disappeared around nine in the morning and returned around six or seven in the evening, so this mission didn't last long.

Moreover, the two of them did not communicate much. After Kitahara Sora returned home, Lingyin was washing dishes, and it seemed that she had just eaten. Kitahara Sora first filled the bathtub with water, and then took a bottle of milk and a piece of bread from the refrigerator to eat something.

After the two of them took turns taking a shower, Suzune was about to throw her changed clothes into the washing machine as usual, but was stopped by Kitahara Sora. They had agreed that as long as she was at home, her brother would take care of all the housework.

In response, Lingyin didn't say anything. She just stared at Kitahara Sora seriously for three seconds, nodded slightly, and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor.

During that process, Kitahara Sora heard a barely perceptible "Welcome home, I'll cook tomorrow."

I was really happy about my sister's change of attitude. This child had been living in dire straits ever since her parents left. It was normal for her to remain hostile to me even after I saved her.

But she really lacks a sense of security, which is why she can change her attitude quickly, just like "Stockholm syndrome". If a life-saving straw suddenly appears, she will definitely hold it tightly in her hand.

I wouldn’t say I like it, but I’m definitely touched and happy from the bottom of my heart.

So, it is now past nine o'clock. The girl prepared a table full of food but did not eat it first. Instead, she sat quietly at the dining table waiting for her 'new brother'.

Today is Saturday and Suzuine doesn't have to go to school. When Yukinoshita-senpai knocked on the door in the morning, Suzuine went out with them. Her brother and senior needed to go to Tokyo to deal with matters between their teammates, and Suzuine was going out to buy some fresh ingredients.

When my brother returned home again, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. After hurriedly explaining something, he entered that space again, but before that he had explained that he would go home on time for dinner.

Then Lingyin got everything ready and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. She began to wait. She knew that her brother had gone to another time and space, so his cell phone was definitely out of service area.

So all she could do was wait quietly, from six to seven o'clock. During this time she went to the bathroom. After going to the bathroom, she went to the living room and turned on the TV. But when the sound of the TV program sounded, Lingyin felt a faint annoyance rising from the bottom of her heart.

So she returned to the dining table, where the food was only barely warm.

Between seven and eight o'clock, the girl couldn't help but call her brother once, and as expected, a sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone.

At half past eight she wanted to call Senior Yukinoshita, but in fact they were not familiar with each other. Since Kitahara Sora was in that space, Senior Yukinoshita was naturally with him.

Then she felt a little sleepy, so she fell asleep on the dining table.

Beiyuan Kong quietly looked at the girl lying on the table. Her eyes, which usually looked handsome and sharp, were gently closed, and her slender willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she had something bothering her even in her sleep.

The cute half of her face was resting on the back of her hand, which softened her facial skin. Her tender pink lips were slightly opened, revealing two snow-white teeth in the air.

A trickle of crystal saliva flowed from the corner of his lips onto the table.

How cute, this kid!

Suzune gives herself a stronger two-dimensional feeling than Yukino and Megumi, with droopy eyes, alluring teardrop moles, small lips, and a seemingly quiet but actually autistic and gloomy personality due to being hurt.

When I saw Lingyin for the first time after coming to this world, I really thought what I saw was a line of glass.

But Yixing Liuli has someone who deeply loves her whether in the virtual world or in the real world, and she has a happy ending in both worlds. Why do you have to suffer so much?

Kitahara Sora's heart felt like it was hit by a hammer, and a strong feeling of guilt arose in his heart. Although he just forgot that she was waiting for him to eat, this feeling arose in a very strange way. This child is so cute, why could he stand her up?

He pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her. The slight noise made the girl let out a very cute moan. She slowly raised her head in a sleepy state and when her eyes were focused, she found Kitahara Sora sitting upright opposite her.

Subconsciously, he raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall, then stood up immediately: "I, I'll heat up the food."

"No need, Lingyin, just eat it like this."

After Kitahara Sora called the girl, he took out a tissue and reached out to Lingyin's cheek. The girl subconsciously shrank her neck and let her brother gently wipe her face.

The confused girl understood Beiyuan Kong's intention in an instant, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face. It was so embarrassing!

After picking up a corner of her apron to wipe the drop of saliva on the table, Lingyin was so flustered that she didn't know where to put her hands.

"I-I'm not usually like this!"

"Yeah, I know, let's eat."

Kitahara Sora casually put the tissue back into the ring and would throw it into the trash can later. He picked up the miso soup in front of him and took a sip. It was just the right amount of saltiness with a hint of sweetness. Although it was cold, it was still very delicious.

The soup was made by Suzune using carrots, white radish, fish bones, and kelp. She added the common Japanese seasoning "miso" and also added white sugar and MSG to enhance the flavor.

Finally, garnish it with a few chopped green onions, the bright color increases your appetite.

With more money in hand, the child bought more vegetables. The chopped tomatoes and blanched broccoli were placed in two delicate small plates respectively. Two sauries were fried until golden and crispy, with a few shredded green onions placed on the cut edges of the fish, and a slice of lemon next to them.

In addition, she also made fried potato pancakes, fried chicken steaks, and even a stir-fry, which was stir-fried pork and green peppers that Kitahara Sora made for the 'first time' cooking last week.

She originally didn’t like green peppers, but Kitahara Sora’s Chinese cooking method made her feel delicious, so she looked up the recipe for this dish online and wanted to try making it.

Kitahara Sora picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with green peppers with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, eating it with a big mouthful of white rice. He didn't care about Suzune's embarrassed expression at all. When Kitahara Suzune saw that her brother was eating the rice in big mouthfuls, she also came out of her embarrassment.

She stared at Kitahara Sora who was eating with relish. She wanted to say something but didn't know what. After a while, Lingyin could only pick up the chopsticks and start eating in small bites.

Neither of them spoke, and from time to time, the sound of chewing could be heard in the quiet air.

"Ring tone."

Before Kitahara Sora swallowed the food in his mouth, he picked up a piece of fried potato cake and took a bite, then suddenly called out her name.

"Ah, um, what's going on?"

"Feel sorry."

"Um...why are you apologizing?"

"Because of something, I accidentally fell asleep over there and forgot that you were still waiting for me to eat." Beiyuan Kong raised his head, stared at the confused girl seriously, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for making you wait for so long, so I won't do it again next time."

The piece of tender white saury meat that Kitahara Suzune picked up with her chopsticks was still hanging in the air. She stared at her brother blankly. Although she had waited for so long, she didn't feel that angry.

He had his own reasons. After all, that world was full of dangers, and perhaps everything had to be handled perfectly. He originally planned to wait until bedtime and if Kitahara Sora hadn't returned home, then he wouldn't wait for him. However, he accidentally fell asleep.

Actually, it’s no big deal even if he doesn’t come home for dinner.

But Kitahara Sora took the initiative to talk about this matter and apologized very sincerely, which made Lingyin feel a strange emotion in her heart, and her heart felt warm. This was just a trivial matter.

The old him didn't even bother to apologize. He thought anything he asked for was a matter of course. Even when he saw Suzune being bullied because of him, he chose to temporarily go blind and turned away.

Even when the girl came home with a bruised face, he could still pick up the meal his sister had prepared and eat it without changing his expression.

But now her brother has to apologize to her sincerely for such a small matter, fearing that he has let down his sister's kindness. Such a gap still makes Lingyin feel a little at a loss.

She lacked love so much, so it would have been better if Kitahara Sora didn't say anything. As soon as he said it, she felt a blockage in her chest, and an inexplicable feeling of grievance rushed out from the bottom of her heart.

Slowly putting the piece of fish on the chopsticks into her mouth, the girl lowered her head slightly so as not to let Beiyuan Kong see her expression. After a while, a gentle nasal sound with a hint of stubbornness came out of her mouth.
