Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 376: Deep in Memory
Unfortunately, Qiu Xue's father had gone out during that time, and the housekeeper had to take care of the company that Qianyue Tokiomi didn't care about, so he had no time to accompany these children.

The days flew by, and the children were still running on the grass.

Qiu Xue tried to reach out to touch her young self, but what she could reach with her fingertips was only illusion and endless emptiness.

However, there is no place for her here, and the gentle wind cannot be felt.

"Is it a dream?" she murmured to herself.

But soon she understood that she was not dreaming.

This is no dream.

People who are in a dream are not aware that they are dreaming, and when they wake up, most of the dream content will be blurred.

Children can't see her, and she can't touch what's here.

Unknowingly, she fell into the vortex of her own memory, all the way down to the bottom.

Human memory is an illusory thing, and sometimes what remains in the deepest part of the memory is not some moment worth boasting about, but some inadvertent time, ordinary and frequent.

It's just that Qiu Xue was a little uneasy, but she couldn't express the feeling, as if her heart was being pinched by something.

As if being drawn, she walked through the halls and corners of the mansion, watched the clock rotate, and finally followed the falling maple leaves on the tree.

Passing through the familiar woods, the vision suddenly opened up.

It seems that the gods are dialing the clock of time and space. Time has come to summer unknowingly, and the garden behind the woods is full of greenery.

She looked back, and the autumn behind her was already silent.

After a second of hesitation, she stepped forward.

The children were still playing, frolicking in the garden, while the servants were busy cleaning the mansion.

During the time when Shi Chen went out, the twin sisters seemed to have enough time to play with everyone.

But she is always used to standing with her younger sister, no, it should be the opposite, the younger sister always cuddles beside her older sister, like a little kangaroo seeking protection.

The uneasiness in her heart became more intense, looking at the children in the garden gazebo, Qiu Xue faintly felt that something happened, but she couldn't remember it.

Because she is in her own memory, she has completely become a "spectator".

The audience will never be able to speak to the characters in the film, nor can they change the established fate of the characters.

Whether it is the films shown to others or the pictures I experienced, they have long disappeared in the long river of time.

Because this is a memory, the audience has no way to intervene, they can only witness to the end.

Qiuxue held the doll by herself, while the two older brothers held the toy car, put the doll in front of the toy car, then pushed the car out violently, and then retrieved the car and the doll...

childish game.

But the kids had a great time.

The young Qiuxue also had a smile on her face. Although she was not addicted to the game itself, it was enough just to have her peers accompany her.

People cannot be lonely for long, so they must look for similar people.

The same goes for young Qiu Xue.

Presumably, without these people in her childhood, she would not have grown up to the present anyway, right?

Until the evening, the children were tired from playing and fell asleep in the pavilion.

Suddenly the oldest boy opened his eyes, shook Qiuxue awake, urged her, and led her to a corner.

The young Qiuxue walked in front, completely ignoring the knife in the boy's hand behind his back.

At this time, there was a sudden stabbing pain in the arm. Qiu Xue, who was already a high school student, looked at her left arm. Bright red bloodstains appeared on the originally fair skin, and the bone was deep in the wound.

After a while, little Qiu Xue came back with red eyes.Clutching his bloody arm, the older brother wiped away the blood.

When it was time for dinner, the twin maids and the other sleeping brother were shaken awake.

But he quickly noticed the wound on Qiu Xue's arm.

The two boys argued of course, and with the annoying cicadas chirping, the ears were about to collapse.

The twin sisters left the pavilion and came to a locust tree and kept silent. They just watched the scene and adopted a wise and protective attitude.

In the end, Qiu Xue intervened in the dispute between the boys, and the two sides calmed down.

The younger boy supported Qiu Xue and was about to walk towards the mansion from the backyard which was closer, and the twin sisters followed in the boy's footsteps.

They didn't seem to care about Qiu Xue, and when they were playing, they were just playing with that boy, but Qiu Xue didn't notice these tiny details, and they were still very happy during the play.

Her father's indifference, the housekeeper's busyness, and the servant's humbleness...these factors were intertwined and made her attach great importance to her peers in front of her.

For her, it seems that as long as she has someone to accompany her and someone to chat with her, she is very satisfied. For this reason, she can share everything she has with everyone, although it is not much.

"What exactly is this?"

The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense, and I shouted in my heart not to continue, but the memory continued.

Sometimes what is buried deep in the memory are not all precious and ordinary pictures, but also horrors that the brain does not want to recall.

This is the protection mechanism of the human body, the more you don't want to think about it, the more you will be sealed in a cold corner.

But she didn't dig out the memories she didn't want to recall, but she took the initiative to enter this memory.

The older boy sat on the bench, bent over, in a posture with an uncomfortable stomach, for a long time, his body shaking uncontrollably.

He raised his head slowly, with no tenderness in his eyes, and his eyes were full of desire when he looked at the young Qiu Xue.

As if in a nightmare, he took out the knife from his pocket again.

Get up, go, speed up, run.

But it was too late when Qiu Xue heard the sound of running footsteps, and when she turned her head, the boy was already close at hand.

She didn't care about the knife in her brother's hand, she only saw his eyes full of desire, like the eyes of a very hungry wolf.

He came to take her life, and his strong desire forced him to control Qiu Xue in his own hands, in the most extreme way!
The blade slammed down, but Qiu Xue was at a loss, but couldn't help but hugged the doll in her hand tightly, and closed her eyes tightly.

The pain didn't come as expected, but someone fell into her arms with a dagger on her chest.

"elder brother!"

She shouted for the boy who always stood up to protect her at critical moments, but the latter's heart had been broken and his life had long been lost.

The oldest brother still held the dagger tightly in his hand, with bright blood drops flowing down the edge.

He walked towards Qiu Xue step by step, forcing her to the edge of the backyard. Below the marble guardrail was a mountain stream more than 20 meters away, and the sound of the flowing stream echoed in everyone's ears.

Younger boys were killed, but it was not enough.

What he wanted was Qiu Xue.

He approached step by step, and Qiu Xue finally had no way to retreat, like a little lamb forced to the edge of a cliff.

Driven by desire, he finally pushed Qiu Xue off the guardrail.

The young Qiuxue didn't understand why her beloved brother...would do such a thing until her body was smashed into pieces on those jagged rocks.

Obviously I... love everyone so much.

In the end...were you still hated?
