My golden finger is not right

twenty,

Following the guidance of the clay sculpture, I finally caught up with the big team.

But what makes me feel strange is that none of them noticed that I had disappeared for a while before.But when I turned my attention to the watch, I was taken aback.

Because the place where the pointer stays is 10:20, which is exactly the same as the correct time when I was not behind!

Could it be that... I... have never left at all?

wrong!

I squeezed the satin in my hands tightly.

Previous experience cannot be false.

I probably... went to another time...

-

The process of collecting specimens went very smoothly. Except for Mr. Kurosawa who left for an hour in the middle, everyone had a good time.

I guess Mr. Kurosawa probably used this hour to meet the mountain god.

...I suddenly don't know what to do with this.

Do I want to tell these two people directly that in the future they will be far away from each other, one will fall into the Asura realm forever, and the other will forget the past, marry a wife and have children, and live an ordinary life?

……well……

Knowing the fate of others, for oneself and others, will be a heavy burden.

And what will happen to the fate of me and Miss Keiko?

Will it be as I guessed?

-

On the way back, it rained unexpectedly. In order to prevent some dangerous situations, Mr. Kurosawa led everyone familiarly and went to an open cave for temporary shelter from the rain.

However, because the rain was getting heavier and heavier, everyone had no choice but to stay in the cave for nearly three hours, and then hurried down the mountain when the raindrops became smaller.

Fortunately, that guy from the Guardian didn't follow...

I was walking in the muddy path, so I thought.

He once said that he hated rainy days very much. Although he didn't give a specific reason, I personally think that judging by his ugly face when he talked about this topic.If he was allowed to huddle in the cave and listen to the sound of rain for three hours, he would probably collapse immediately based on his personality.

But what would it be like if the divine guardian, who had always been indifferent, collapsed one day...

I sighed slightly, dispelling all the guesses in my head.

There are some things that cannot be thought about too much, because the more you think about it, the easier it is to arouse the evil thoughts in your heart.

-

On the night I returned from Nobiroyama, Miss Keiko told me the bad news——

Hanako's time is almost here!

According to the standards for the division of monsters, Hanako belongs to the category of earth-bound spirits.

Unlike evil spirits who gain power by killing ordinary people, earthbound spirits are a kind of temporal spirit.They have no power supply to maintain their existence, and they cannot be put into reincarnation, so they often disappear after a certain point in time.

This disappearance will be a real disappearance.

I nodded silently, then got up and walked into the tea room.

In the tea room, Hanako was hugging a large bag of popcorn, kneeling on the ground and reading comics, occasionally laughing happily.Ah Hei, whom he hadn't seen all this time, curled up beside her, as if he had already fallen asleep peacefully.

Suddenly, I couldn't bear to break the tranquility of this room, just as I was about to get out and leave, Hanako over there had already raised her head and looked over.

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Yan Ye?"

I hesitated for a few seconds, then sat back on the tatami.I organized my language, and then I said: "Well... this... I'm on vacation for a few days, and I'm free all day, so I want to ask you if there is any place you want to go in particular, or is there a special place you want to go? Someone you want to meet? We can go and see together."

Hanako was a little stunned when she heard me say that.It took a long time to realize the meaning behind my back, and said in an inexplicably lonely tone: "My time...is almost up...right."

I'm not very good at lying, so I lowered my head subconsciously, a little afraid to look directly into her eyes.

In Hanako's eyes, my appearance is equivalent to a disguised acquiescence.But she didn't worry too much about the time issue.

"Anyone you want to meet in particular?"

She repeated my words in a low voice, subconsciously let go of the hand holding the popcorn, and covered her somewhat transparent legs with it.

After a long time, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I want to see my mother!"

-

Intensive Care Unit, Renhe General Hospital, Room 201.

After thanking the nurse, I silently took out a cloth bag that had been washed white.

Ms. Keiko said that with Hanako's current condition, if she goes out directly, she will disappear into the air in a short time.So for the sake of her safety, it is safer to keep it in the pocket with the spell written on it.

After she finished speaking, she smiled and took out the pocket that was usually used to hold chili powder from behind, and handed it to me.

……

...I knew she didn't like Hanako very much.

As for the reason why I don't like it, it is naturally because Hanako used my power forcibly before.

Although I kept telling Ms. Huizi that there was nothing serious about me and I just fell asleep, but with her acuity, how could she not have noticed that I have been in a low mood recently.

"After leaving, it should be impossible for Hanako to come back. According to her situation, she will probably disappear quietly some morning."

"So, Young Master Yan Ye, please try your best to fulfill her wish. Most importantly, let her meet her mother again."

After I drew up all the curtains in the room, I loosened the knot in the pocket, indicating that Hanako could come out.

A gust of wind blew by, and Hanako appeared in mid-air wearing a skirt specially made by Ms. Keiko.

She intended to let her mother see her most beautiful appearance, but she didn't expect that she saw her mother's most embarrassing appearance instead: the middle-aged woman on the bed looked so thin that only a thin layer of skin remained. on the bone.There are various tubes inserted and covered in his body.And looking up, that sallow face was covered with a big breathing mask.

It was just a hospital bed, but it was enough to separate her and Hanako in two worlds.

Hanako looked in disbelief at the woman who was no longer human on the hospital bed, and the initial joy on her face that her wish could finally come true was completely frozen.

"...It was almost the fifth year after your accident. At that time, your mother still stubbornly believed that you were just lost, not in an accident. But in this year, the bodies of several little girls were buried People were salvaged from the nearby shallow sea..."

"...Your mother had registered the missing child's information at the police station, so she went to the morgue with seven or eight parents who also couldn't find the child..."

"...your mother quickly recognized you among the rotten and smelly corpses..."

"...she wants to take you home...but in the end she can only watch you sleep in the ground..."

"...Half a year later, she was sent to the hospital by her family because of excessive grief, which led to rapid necrosis of her body functions..."

"...and then she was here to escape the reality of her daughter's death for five years..."

"...And now, you're finally back."

I repeated the information I got from Miss Keiko, and watched the girl in front of me gradually break down in tears.

"Mom... Mom... Woohoo... Hanako is back... Woohoo... Hanako is back..."

"...you open your eyes and see if Hanako is alright... woo woo..."

She wanted to hold the woman's hand, but no matter what, she could only pass through her body, unable to truly touch the woman's skin.

I couldn't stand it anymore, and left the ward quietly.

Outside the ward, a little girl was sitting on a lounge chair in the corridor, playing with potted plants in her hands.

I was getting a little depressed by Hanako's incident, the little girl probably noticed my expression, shook her hand at me, and said, "Big brother, do you want to meet my good friend Ami?"

"Ami?" I looked around, and finally settled on the potted plant in her hand with some hesitation.

The girl shook the thing in her hand at me, smiled and said:

"That's the guy! It's called May, and he's my best best friend!"

"This is a gift from my mother. Before she left, she told me that when Amei blooms, she will come to pick me up!"

I didn't think about the deep meaning of her words. Looking at the plant in her arms, I forced a smile: "Your friend is very good. When it blooms, it must be very beautiful."

"Thank you! Big brother!"

I shook my head and was about to say something more, but suddenly I had a very bad feeling.

I suddenly thought of something, and rushed back to the ward, only to see Hanako clinging to her mother's body, and then slowly disappearing with a smile on her face.

I froze for a long time before I looked away from the place where she last existed.

As long as she is happy, why bother?

I sighed, and was about to open the door to leave, but I accidentally saw the hand of the woman on the bed, shaking violently suddenly.

I hurriedly pressed the emergency bell, and before the doctors and nurses arrived, I put the cloth bag that Hanako had stayed in by the woman's hand, and then left quickly.

Later, I also paid attention to the movements of Hanako's mother. I heard that after she woke up that day, she seemed to have lost part of her memory.

I heard that she was discharged from the hospital after six months of convalescence.

I heard that not long after she was discharged from the hospital, she was asked by her husband to agree to a divorce.

I heard that she had a very bad life at the beginning, but fortunately, she met a man with good conduct, and after a few years of dating, they entered the palace of marriage.

I heard that after she got married, it didn't take long for the good news to come, and then she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins.

It is said that……

What happens next has nothing to do with me.

I just need to know for Hanako that her favorite mother is living a happy life now, that's enough.

-

I'm not sure whether Hanako's mother's amnesia is related to Hanako's premature departure.

But what I can be sure of is that Hanako still has a week to complete what she has not done.

But at the last moment, she chose to see her mother first.
