Personality V: I will save everything

Just as Natasha and Jack were about to go to bed, suddenly a scream came from Miles' room.

"Dad!!!" Natasha's first reaction was to rush to Miles' room to check the situation, but she was caught by Jack before she could leave the room.

Juke held Natasha's shoulders and asked her to sit on the bed.

Natasha's combat effectiveness is far lower than that of Juke, not to mention that Natasha's current physical condition is not suitable for fighting at all.

Qiu Ke thought it would be better for him to go alone.

"Stay here, Natasha, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Juke rushed to Miles' room.

Natasha could only see his leaving figure.

Fortunately, Miles' room was diagonally opposite Natasha and Juke's room, and Juke quickly arrived at the door of Miles' room.

But the door was locked, and no matter how hard Qiu Ke knocked, no one inside came out to open the door.

No choice...

"Bang...bang...bang!!!" Qiu Ke hit the door hard with his shoulder, and finally broke the door open.

The moment the door opened, the cold wind blew into the corridor. It was obvious that the window in the room was broken, and the winter snow outside mixed with the cold wind kept blowing into the house.

The sudden cold wind mixed with snowflakes sliced ​​across Qiu Ke's cheek like a blade, making him almost unable to open his eyes.

But he still opened his eyes desperately to check the situation in the room.

Miles collapsed on the ground, with a female ghost wearing strange exotic clothes floating in front of him.

Qiu Ke had never seen Michiko, so he could only desperately search for whether this female ghost was similar to Natasha.

But it's a pity that this female ghost is wearing a strange mask. The only thing Qiu Ke can find that resembles her and Natasha is their black hair.

Juke didn't recognize her, but Miles, who had spent time with Michiko and searched for her all his life, had her appearance deeply imprinted in his mind, recognized her at a glance.

Michiko...I finally see you...

I'm sorry... Michiko... I failed to protect you... I killed you... I'm sorry...

Michiko...I miss you so much...

Miles sat on the ground, looking at Michiko in front of him, and kept crying. Even though Michiko was now a "prajna phase", he recognized her at a glance. How could he forget it? That is the love he has been looking for all his life!

But Michiko, who has turned into an evil spirit and has long lost her mind, cannot recognize Miles at first sight, or in other words, she cannot recognize anyone.

Michiko could only realize that the human in front of her was a delicacy, and she wanted to eat him.

Michiko stretched out her hand, wanting to tear the human in front of her into pieces.

Miles saw Michiko trying to attack him, but he still sat there without moving.

Miles has already decided to die, and even if he is killed by Michiko, he should be able to become a ghost, so that he can be considered to be with Michiko.

Miles is not afraid of death, but Juke will definitely not let him die so early.

"Get away!! Idiot!!!" Juke rushed to Miles before Michiko's attack fell on Miles.

But if he does this, Jack will be hit by Michiko's attack.

At this critical moment, Qiu Ke took out the "weapon" prepared by the manor owner for them from his pocket - a mirror.

Of course it's not an ordinary mirror, but the mirrors that the manor owner had tried his magic on before. At that time, the manor owner distributed the mirrors to everyone just to deal with this situation.

Sure enough, after seeing the mirror in Qiu Ke's hand, Michiko subconsciously stepped back.

Taking advantage of this gap, Juke quickly turned back to Miles to confirm, "Is she the aunt?"

"That's right," Miles replied, and at the same time, his sanity returned.

He realized that he couldn't die here yet! ! ! Because he still has a daughter, he hasn't watched Natasha get married yet. He has already missed Natasha's birth. He doesn't want to be absent again from another important event in Natasha's life! ! !

"Michiko!!!" Miles shouted at Michiko, trying to regain her sense.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Miles yelled, Michiko still looked irrational.

"Take this." Juke threw something to Miles behind him.

Miles reached for it and found it was a mirror.

This is Natasha's mirror. The owner of the manor gave it to each of them. When there was a scream in Miles' room just now, Jack didn't let Natasha come over, but he took away the mirror that belonged to Natasha. Natasha's mirror, just in case.

"Find a way to make her see herself in the mirror, and she can regain her senses." It was too troublesome to explain, so Qiu Ke chose to keep the story short.

Of course, Miles is not a slow-responsive person. He knows that since Jack will throw this mirror to him, then this mirror must be of great use. Since Jack has told him how to use it, then Miles Si also understood.

Miles and Jack raised the mirror in Michiko's direction, but no matter what, Michiko still didn't dare to look at her own image in the mirror and kept avoiding it.

Michiko hates her current "Prajna phase", so she dare not look directly into the mirror. Even though she is irrational now, she still remembers this incident in her subconscious.

This resulted in the current impasse. Michiko had to see herself in the mirror to regain her sanity, but Michiko did not dare to face the mirror directly.

In order to prevent Michiko from escaping through the newly broken window, Miles kept standing in front of the window holding a mirror, while Jack tried to find a way to let Michiko see himself in the mirror in the room.

Qiu Ke stood on the spot and quickly thought about countermeasures. First, the direction of the window must be blocked. Miles would definitely not be able to move, which meant that he would have to find a way to let Michiko see what he looked like in the mirror.

But what to do......

Qiu Ke couldn't step forward and forcefully take Michiko's hand away and let her look in the mirror, otherwise Qiu Ke would probably be attacked by Michiko as soon as he got closer.

and many more……

attack…………

Just when Qiu Ke was lost in thought, suddenly! An unexpected situation disrupted the entire rhythm.

Natasha suddenly appeared at the door of Miles' room.

Because Natasha was really worried. She had been worried about the situation of Jake and Miles since Jake ran away.

But since the initial scream and the subsequent sound of Juke banging on the door, there has been almost no sound in the room.

Natasha was really too worried. Even if there were sounds of fighting inside, it would be better than no sound at all...

So Natasha was so worried that the worry in her heart overwhelmed her reason, causing her to come to the door of Miles' room to check the situation.

And Natasha also wanted to see it with her own eyes...to see the mother who had been separated from yin and yang since she was born.

But it was obvious that Natasha came at the wrong time.

What's even more terrible is that Natasha didn't have a mirror on her body. Her mirror was brought by Jack and handed to Miles, which caused Natasha who suddenly appeared at the door of the room to become the target of Michiko's attack.

Michiko rushed towards Natasha at the door at very fast speed.

"Natasha!!!" x2

Natasha only heard the simultaneous screams of Miles and Juke, and then... her eyes were filled with red...

But Natasha felt no pain...

because……

"Jiu Ke!!!!!!" Natasha shouted Jiu Ke's name loudly.

That's right, it was Qiu Ke who protected her just now. At the critical moment when Hongdie's attack was so close, Qiu Ke flew over and protected Natasha with his body.

But this also resulted in a long wound on Juke's back from Michiko's attack. From his right shoulder to his left waist, the wound was long and deep, and hot blood continued to flow out.

"Jiu Ke...Jiu Ke... wake up..." Qiu Ke lay motionless on Natasha's body, no matter how Natasha called him.

Natasha hugged Jack tightly and covered the wound on his back, trying to stop the bleeding, but the blood kept flowing out through her fingers, which was of no use.

Natasha's tears continued to flow out, blurring her vision, but even though she could no longer see clearly the scene in front of her, her eyes were still bloody red.

However, Michiko's attacks would not stop because of Natasha's pain.

"Natasha!!! Run!!!" Miles, who was standing by the window, frantically wanted to rush to the door, but the distance, which was only a few steps, was extremely long at this moment.

Michiko's next attack came one after another, and Miles couldn't get over in time.

Just when the attack was about to fall on Natasha, Natasha suddenly raised the mirror in her hand, just in time for Hongdie to see her own reflection in the mirror.

Natasha, where did she get the mirror? ? ? ! ! !

Of course, it was the one Juke handed to him just now. When Juke helped Natasha block Michiko's blow, he handed it to Natasha's hand.

This is actually the plan that Jiu Ke came up with just now. Originally, Jiu Ke wanted to lure Michiko to attack so that she would have no time to cover her eyes with her hands, and then take advantage of this period to hold the mirror in front of her so that she could see what was in the mirror. The way I look.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change, and Natasha came to the door of the room at this time. In order to protect her, Qiu Ke could only use his own body to help Natasha block the attack.

The last thing Jack could do was to put the mirror into Natasha's hand and let Natasha do the next thing.

As for whether Natasha can understand Juke's intention of doing this?

Of course, Qiu Ke believed that Natasha could understand. After spending so much time together, they only needed one glance to understand each other's intentions.

Sure enough, what happened next was just as the poor guest expected. The mirror Natasha held up allowed Michiko to see her own reflection in the mirror.

After confirming that the plan was successful and Natasha was safe, Juke wanted to speak out and tell Natasha not to worry, but the wound on his back was too painful.

And Qiu Ke felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and his consciousness began to blur. He wanted to speak, he didn't want Natasha to cry anymore, but he couldn't.

Juke's last memory was watching Natasha hold him in her arms, with tears in Natasha's eyes constantly falling on his face.

Juke wanted to comfort Natasha and wipe away Natasha's tears, but... he was already unconscious.

………………

the other side,

Michiko, who was successfully caught in the mirror, also fell into a fantasy, or a memory.

Michiko saw her former self, who met Miles, fell in love with Miles, and then came to England with him.

Hongdie saw her former self, who kept pleasing the people around her, but was still spurned by the people around her. Even the servants of the Donald family could bully her at will.

Hongdie remembered... At that time, she just wanted to live a good life with Miles, but why was God not willing to grant her such a small wish?

Hongdie watched Miles go to India, and watched himself being kidnapped by people sent by Mr. Donald to a remote fishing village.

Hongdie looked at herself at that time, stroking her already swollen pregnant belly over and over again. At that time, she was so looking forward to the birth of this child.

The child was born at that time, but Hongdie was not even qualified to look at him or hold him, so the child was taken away by others. Hongdie didn't even know whether he was a boy or a girl.

Moreover, the child was still a premature infant at the time, and Hongdie gave birth to the child in a combination of premature labor and miscarriage.

Hongdie still remembers those people telling her that the child was a dead baby. Hongdie also thought so because she could not hear the child's first cry.

Hongdie fell into infinite sadness for that child. The poor child died before he had a chance to see the world.

What happened next was a memory that Hongdie never wanted to face, but no matter how hard Hongdie struggled, the illusion still continued to spread.

When Hongdie saw that she had been chosen as a sacrifice, she tried her best to escape and leave here, but she was caught by the fishermen, her legs were broken, tied to stones, and sank into the sea.

Seeing this scene, Hongdie's resentment deepened, her resentment became heavier and heavier, and some of it even condensed into solid black mist.

She really hates... She hates those cold-blooded people... She hates the people who killed her children... She even hates Miles, why didn't she protect herself.

Hongdie originally thought that the illusion would end here. After all, this was the last memory of her life.

But what Hongdie didn't expect was... that the illusion was still going on.

Hongdie saw the child she gave birth to prematurely, and she was still alive! ! ! She is a girl, a lovely girl.

Hongdie looked at the child lovingly, just like every mother, and even the resentment on her body was slightly reduced.

Hongdie watched the girl being named Natasha and being raised by the fishermen at that time. She watched Natasha speak for the first time, watch her walk for the first time, and watch her continue to grow. big.

Hongdie looked at this scene with a smile, but at the same time she felt infinitely lonely. She had missed every important moment of Natasha.

But Hongdie also watched every scene carefully. Even if she couldn't accompany Natasha to grow up, at least... Hongdie hoped that she could remember every important moment.

But gradually, Hongdie discovered that something was wrong...

Those... those damn fishermen! ! You've already killed yourself! ! Still want to kill Natasha? ! ! !

Hongdie's resentment had reached its peak at this time, and even the illusion was affected by her resentment, causing some fluctuations.

Hongdie couldn't imagine that these ignorant people had already used her as a sacrifice, and they actually wanted to harm her daughter, and they even wanted to use Natasha as a sacrifice.

Hongdie attacked the fishermen desperately, trying to find a way out for Natasha.

But... these are all things that have happened a long time ago. They are just illusions. No matter how hard Hongdie tries, she cannot harm these illusions at all.

"Natasha...run...please..."

Hongdie collapsed and shed tears while speaking to Natasha's fantasy, even though Hongdie knew that this was just Natasha's fantasy and she couldn't hear it.

Hongdie watched helplessly as the fishermen dragged Natasha into the warehouse and locked the door, waiting for the day of sacrifice.

"Natasha! Run! Run!" Hongdie kept screaming, wanting Natasha to escape from here quickly.

She wanted to help Natasha unlock the warehouse door, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't even pick up a pebble on the roadside.

Hongdie collapsed and fell to the ground. Her hands were still pressed tightly on the warehouse door, but she could never open this door.

"Why...why..." Hongdie asked in a broken voice.

She didn't understand why she was letting herself see these illusions, just to let herself experience the pain she had experienced all over again? Just to let yourself watch your daughter suffer the same pain as you did at that time?

Hongdie collapsed and sat on the ground crying. Gradually, these illusions began to dissipate.

Just when Hongdie thought she could finally go out...

But she found herself in a new fantasyland.

Hongdie, the protagonist of the fantasy world, knows very well that he is Miles.

To be honest, Hongdie doesn't know how Miles is doing now.

Maybe Miles has started a family again with another woman and has a child of his own?

Hongdie can understand him. After all, who wants to stick to one thought for a lifetime.

But I don’t know why. When I think of Miles holding other women and holding other people’s children, Hongdie doesn’t understand why her heart feels so painful.

If Miles really does this, then who are he and Natasha? !

But no matter how reluctant Hongdie was to face it, the illusion continued to spread.

Hongdie watched Miles return to the Donald mansion after finishing his mission in India.

Hongdie watched as Mr. Donald made up a lie. He slandered that he had cheated on her and ran away with another man in order to make Miles give up.

Looking at this scene, Hongdie didn't know what to think. Maybe it was because she had already been mentally prepared, or maybe because of what happened to Natasha just now, Hongdie was completely heartbroken.

But what Hongdie didn't expect was that Miles didn't believe Donald's lies at all. He had been looking for himself.

Keep on searching...keep on searching...

Until Hongdie saw wrinkles gradually appearing on Miles' once handsome face, and his shining blond hair gradually grew white hair.

One day, two days, three days, one month, three months, one year, five years, ten years...

Miles has never given up, and has never thought about giving up. After such a long time, his determination remains the same, and so does his love for Michiko.

He tried every method he could think of, searched all the connections he could find, and searched all the places he could think of.

But it was still in vain, because the person he was looking for was already dead.

Not only was the outcome already determined, but the gossip from the people around him also kept cutting through Miles' heart like a razor blade.

Hongdie watched the people around her being laughed at by Miles, laughing at Miles for being so crazy for a woman, laughing at him for being so stupid, and laughing at him for being so stubborn.

But they were right about one thing, Miles was just so stubborn.

Miles never married and just wanted to get Michiko back.

But every night, when Miles lies in bed and falls asleep, he always calls Michiko's name.

Hongdie just stood beside him, silently watching everything Miles had done for him, tears falling down at an unknown time.

Hongdie watched Miles lying on the bed, constantly mumbling his name in his sleep.

Hongdie wanted to step forward and hug him, but her hand passed through Miles's illusion.

How much Hongdie wanted to tell Miles, tell Miles to stop looking. If there was no result, he would have been dead long ago. If he continued to search, there would be no result.

But Hongdie can't do it. This is just an illusion, and Miles can't hear it.

Hongdie was really in pain. She didn't understand why their family had to suffer such misfortune.

If something like that hadn't happened in the meantime, they must be a very happy family of three now.

Hongdie stretched out her hand forward, as if the happy family she imagined was right in front of her.

then……

Her hand was held by someone else...

"Michiko!" Hongdie followed the voice and saw that the person holding her hand was Miles.

Hongdie thought it was an illusion, so she didn't answer, but then she thought, no, wasn't she unable to touch the illusion just now?

"Miles?" Hongdie confirmed in disbelief.

"Michiko!!!" Miles saw that Michiko finally regained his senses and recognized himself. He hugged Michiko tightly in excitement, as if if he let go, Michiko would disappear from him again.

"Miles..." Hongdie choked and stretched out her hands to confirm again, "This is... true..."

Michiko was sure that this was real and not an illusion. She really felt the touch in her hands. She felt Miles' body temperature and his heartbeat.

"Miles!" Michiko hugged Miles tightly and cried loudly, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances, pain and unbearability she had suffered over the years.

The same goes for Miles. After so many years, he has never given up looking for Michiko, and now Michiko is finally back.

suddenly!

Hongdie seemed to have remembered something and broke away from Miles's arms.

Her daughter, her Natasha! ! !

How is she? ! Did she manage to escape? !

Michiko wanted to ask Miles anxiously, but she didn't know where to start, because judging from the time, Miles might not know about the birth of her daughter at all.

Michiko's mouth kept opening and closing, she really didn't know how to ask Miles about this.

But Miles saw Michiko's worries at a glance.

"Don't worry, Michiko..." Miles reached out and stroked Michiko's cheek, "Natasha, she is fine and safe now."

Since Miles can say Natasha's name, it proves that he has already known Natasha's existence, no matter how he knew it, but... Michiko knows that Natasha is safe now, which is enough .

"Dad...Mom..."

Michiko heard this voice that she had heard countless times in the illusion, and turned around subconsciously.

This is my daughter. She is bigger and more beautiful than in the fantasy.

But there is another thing that cannot be ignored, and that is the large swaths of blood on Natasha's body.

The blood on Natasha stung Michiko's eyes, reminding him of what just happened.

Michiko simply couldn't imagine that she actually wanted to hurt her daughter.

Could it be that Natasha was injured just now?

"Dad...Mom...help me..." Natasha said with tears in her voice.

She really didn't know what to do. The wound on Qiu Ke's back was too deep. No matter what she did, the bleeding wouldn't stop.

She is really scared...
