Chapter 15 Famous Objects View the World's Authenticity
"It's a very cliché story."
"But it's beautiful." Lu Mingfei said sincerely.
Hearing the boy's heartfelt praise, the man narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Yes, in my eyes, chrysanthemum is the most beautiful gift in the world." The man's
"Then, are you together?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.
"Yes, we are together, I confessed first!" the man said very proudly, as if confessing to the girl he loved was the most worthy of showing off and proud of him, compared with his legendary underworld experience
Nothing at all!
"That's when I realized that Ju had actually been secretly attracted to me for a long time."
"In the eyes of others, I am a heinous gang leader who commits all kinds of crimes including burning, killing, looting, but in Ju's eyes, I have always been a tired and tired man, nothing more."
"This is how Ju and I formed a family. Ju was still selling roses in front of the cinema. I was tired of the violence and blood, and became more and more perfunctory about the family's tasks. But at that time, I had already completed the family's experience ahead of schedule, so
I was summoned back to my home."
"I have outstanding abilities, so I was entrusted with important tasks by my family. The head of the family gave me a famous sword. My position is getting higher and higher, and I have more and more close friends. Of course, I don't forget to ask my subordinates to secretly take care of Ju's flower-selling business.
.”
"On my wedding day, I bought a whole flower shop's roses in Kabukicho. Together with that flower shop, I gave it to Kiku as a wedding gift. It was not far from the movie theater where she used to sell flowers."
"Ju said that she was destitute for half her life and only had roses to keep her company. She would prune a rose for me every day and put it at the door of the store, hoping that I would return home safely." The man's face shone brightly in the fiery red sunset.
His face was as warm as a rose, and there were plain cornflowers hidden in his clear eyes.
"The world is in a mess, but there is still a clean and bright moon waiting silently in your sky. It turns out that this is love!" Moved by the man's story, the boy's mouth couldn't help but have a beautiful smile. Unexpectedly, he thought of it.
Who.
"Yes, this world is really a mess, and Kiku is my only clean moon." The man named Kenjiro looked deeply at the boy and saw the heartfelt smile on the corner of the boy's mouth.
"Ju is my angel, but if there are angels in this world, there must be evil ghosts. On that rainy night, the evil ghost came to my side."
The man's conversation suddenly changed, as if he had turned into a demon shrouded in hatred, and the hatred in his words overflowed from the gaps between his lips and teeth.
"Actually, in the final analysis, everything is caused by myself. As the ghost slayer of my family, I don't want to cause more evils of killing. I personally released the evil ghosts, and retribution will eventually befall me."
"I am very confused about the memory of that night. I only remember that it rained heavily that day, so heavy that it almost submerged the city of Tokyo. My family developed a potion that can release power, and everyone celebrated. I am in an important position.
I stayed up very late and got very drunk. I had no idea that Ju was already pregnant with my child. The moment I returned to the flower shop and opened the door, I saw a tragic nightmare that I will never forget.
"
"The flower shop became dilapidated, with blood scarier than roses dripping on the windows and vases. Lightning pierced the clouds. Ju's shouts and pleas for help seemed so powerless in the heavy rain that turned the sky and the earth upside down. She just collapsed in a pool of blood.
Inside, her eyes were helpless and distracted, and evil spirits were gnawing at her body."
"I collapsed. My brain felt like it was hit hard by a huge iron hammer, and my soul was shattered into pieces. I yelled like crazy and fought with evil spirits in Ju's blood. Finally, I was bathed in Ju's blood.
Blood kills evil spirits."
"The blood of chrysanthemums has become cold on my body, dried hard, and formed scabs. I wandered alone on the street late at night. Everyone I saw seemed to be a ghost. I yelled at them, brandished the knife in my hand, and even
I chopped down many innocent passers-by."
"It seems that I have never really killed the ghost that harmed Ju. It has penetrated into my heart, and I seem to have become a new evil ghost. The heavy rain all night cannot wash away my sins."
"God gave me a memory as precious as a dream, but then took back my cornflowers and roses."
"Failure to protect important people will leave those who are late only with endless anger and regret. Regret is like a poison that has no antidote. It wipes out your good memories and leaves you with a helpless heart.
The pain and the idea of 'let's die together' sprouted in my mind, and then became deeply ingrained, like Ling Chi, cutting me to pieces every lonely night."
"When I woke up, I wanted to drive the evil spirit out of my body, so I cut off my sword-holding arm, apologized, left the family, and returned to her hometown with Ju."
The man opened his kimono, and the tattoo that ran through the man's chest was of an evil ghost with its fangs exposed, but half of the evil ghost's face ended abruptly at his right shoulder, because the man's right sleeve was empty.
Lu Mingfei looked at the man's deep face and empty right arm, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
How is this similar to him in the story! In the story, he failed to protect that important girl. Although he finally transformed into the biggest monster and annihilated the bloody and white nightmare, so what?
He still lives a faltering life, as if he is trying to atone for his sins!
"Just now when you were squatting at the door muttering to yourself, after a long time, I seemed to see chrysanthemums in your eyes." The man's words awakened Lu Mingfei. He looked at the man, unable to fully understand the man's words.
"In your eyes, there are cornflowers that belong to you. She is the girl you secretly missed just now. When I see you, I think of myself in the past." The man explained to Lu Mingfei, full of emotion, "If I could go back
It would be nice to be as old as you. I will definitely protect my anus this time."
I don't know what happened, but the man turned around and entered the izakaya and came back again, only with a long sword with a crimson hilt in his hand.
"This is the demon-slaying blade I once used." The man's remaining left hand was stroking his beloved sword, "I am old, I no longer have the hand to hold the sword, and I no longer have the strength to hold the sword again; and you
You are still young, there are lions in your eyes, and great unruly years are waiting for you."
"Take this knife." The man said softly.
"I feel ashamed that you gave me such a valuable thing when we first met." Lu Mingfei shook his head and declined.
"It would be a disgrace to a famous sword to let mold and dust grow next to a person like me who is on the verge of death. My child, the first time I saw you, I felt that its owner was here. Hold it tightly for me.
This knife can kill all the evil spirits in the world and protect your beloved girl, okay?" the man said almost pleadingly.
The man solemnly handed over the sword with the courtesy of a Japanese swordsman. Lu Mingfei also knew that if he hesitated or refused at this time, he would be a pretentious idiot!
