Chapter 562 Beauty (19)
I have to say that the fortune teller's hut at midnight has a really great atmosphere.
In the complete silence, the dim light shone on the face of the female fortune teller, giving her a somewhat magical temperament.
It's a pity that this magic stick is talking about his own family affairs at this moment.
Kisaragi Chie, this name, Fuzen actually saw in Kisaragi Kana’s information before.
According to the information, Kisaragi Kana's sister is withdrawn and not very harmonious with her family. She moved out to live by herself very early.
"Kana has been a cute girl since she was a child, and she is loved by her family."
Without waiting to answer her question, Kisaragi Chie continued.
"As she grows up, she shows amazing charm, and almost everyone of the opposite sex will fall for her."
"Countless people are fascinated by her, willing to pay any price for her, and put all the good things in front of her, but she is dismissive of it."
"She is shining and proud. She has told me more than once that she is different from others."
"Aren't all young people like this? After all, it's useless to be young."
After Kisaragi Chie described it, she commented directly before paying.
"I thought so at first, until one day, I suddenly found that she was stranger than ever."
Kisaragi Chie sighed softly.
"Have you ever seen a wax figure? A wax figure is so lifelike that it can look real at a distance, and you can't tell the difference at all."
"But when you get close enough, you will find an indescribable sense of dissonance."
"That's how Kana is. With her appearance and memory, you are very sure that it is her, but when you get really close, you find she looks like an empty shell."
"An empty shell driven entirely by desire, fantasy, and paranoia."
"At first, I thought it was my jealousy. After all, Kana has received far more attention than me since I was a child, and I even felt very guilty for it."
"Until one time, I found out that my father suddenly broke down and cried after he tried to teach her a lesson but was rejected."
"That's when I finally realized that my father actually felt the same way as me."
"Obviously, my daughter is alive and more graceful, with all the memories, but under the body, the soul that can be defined as my daughter is becoming increasingly difficult to grasp."
"I once tried to have a good communication with her, but found that I was even more powerless than my father in front of this radiant sister."
"After all, she is much better than me in every aspect."
"Even the miracle potion, something I never dared to ask for, she took it easily."
"Later I thought that my father must have felt the same way."
"Even if he keeps a straight face, his words are weak. His life experience is not worth mentioning at all."
"And it was this sense of powerlessness that brought him considerable pain."
"The last thing I can do is to hold Kana tightly in my arms when she sleeps here. Only when the skin is close to each other can I feel a sense of familiarity."
"Then you were hit by your father."
Nod before paying.
"As expected, Kana told you, too. She never seems to be able to restrain the urge to show off."
"My father did have some misunderstandings at the time. What was even worse was that he was already on the verge of losing control of himself."
"I can tell."
Fu Qian recalled the short sword Kisaragi Kisui Ken finally used to commit suicide. He brought that sword to Kisaragi Chie, and he may not have had some urge to destroy.
But in the end it was just impulsive, and he didn't actually take action when he encountered that kind of situation, which shows that his anger far did not overwhelm his emotions.
"I don't deny that this probably pushed him towards his final path."
"After you took Kana away, I was the one who kept talking, but he didn't respond to a word, and then he left directly."
Kisaragi Chie's voice became lower and lower.
"I think it's okay to be like this now, it's a kind of relief."
"Also, I'm sorry. I understand that your father's behavior has caused you trouble."
The next moment, Kisaragi Chie stared at the front and apologized solemnly.
"In any case, I hope you can understand a father's eagerness to protect his daughter and don't hurt Kana."
"Why do you think I would hurt her?"
Without commenting before paying, he asked instead.
"There are two kinds of best fortune tellers, one who never observes words and colors, and one who only relies on words and colors."
"Oh? Which one are you?"
"I'm not good enough, but I'm more perceptive than the average person."
"And I can see that the way you look at Kana is different from others."
"Whether you have the intention of hurting her or not, you have the ability to hurt her."
"Kana unconsciously wants to influence you and make you surrender like everyone else, but I know that she is not worth mentioning to you at all."
"Of course, my words should be the same to you."
"But I still want to beg you, if you can, don't destroy her."
"Even if she has become an 'empty shell'?"
"Even if she is already an empty shell."
…
"Very good, but if you tell me this honestly, aren't you afraid that I will silence you to keep it secret?"
"I was really scared."
Kisaragi Chie smiled bitterly.
"But I don't know why. After watching your performance just now, I suddenly stopped being afraid."
"You appeared there because of your father's arrangement. Ms. Ayane has indeed come to trouble you, right? Were you deliberately lying to her just now?"
"Don't lie about anything, what I said is true!"
"But those words of yours—"
Kisaragi Chie was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized something.
The last look at Kisaragi Kana just before paying was indeed very misleading, but in fact, if the "it" in what he said was replaced by Mr. Kisaragi himself, it would make perfect sense.
"Actually, have you ever thought that what your sister said may be true, and that she really has a talent that no one else can match?"
In this silence, Fu Qian suddenly spoke again.
"Is it the same talent as an extraordinary person?"
Kisaragi Chie looked puzzled.
"Impossible. If that were the case, Yasui Company should have discovered it long ago with so many tests."
Logically speaking, yes, but that's just one of them.
Fu Qian thought to himself.
As we all know, apart from relying on mutation, there is another way for extraordinary people to do it, and that is through cultivation.
I still remember that Chief Yuan had lamented to himself a long time ago that compared to innate abilities, the path of cultivation is obviously more traceable, and there is no need to pursue illusive rituals.
As a researcher at the Academy, Fu Qian has always been thinking about the difference between the two.
There are actually quite a lot of cultivation inheritances that I have encountered so far. In addition to the people from the Xuegong Shenjian Academy, there are also the unique skills of the Huang family and the Chen family, etc.
And there is no doubt that practicing inheritance also requires talent.
It's just that before practicing according to a specific method, this talent will not be as obvious as an innate ability.
