That was when Haibara Ai was still human.

"Eh."

The rapid and mournful chirping of birds rang in her ears, attracting her attention.Putting down the package in his hand, Hui Yuanai followed the sound and saw a small white bird lying on the side of the road, singing miserably.

Hastily stepped forward to check.Somehow the little bird had a big hole in its leg, and the feathers on its leg were sparse.Seeing Hui Yuanai approaching, he flapped his wings and wanted to hide back, but he couldn't fly due to the injury on his leg.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Knowing that the bird couldn't understand her words at all, Hui Yuanai slowed down her voice, and approached the injured bird cautiously and slowly.

Gently soothing the bird's emotions, Hui Yuanai took out a handkerchief and helped the bird temporarily bandage the wound.

The bird is also quite spiritual.It seemed to be aware that Hui Yuan Ai would not hurt it, and obediently leaned on her palm without struggling.

"That's fine." Although the handkerchief is too big for a petite bird, Hui Yuanai is still very confident in her bandaging ability, even without a bow or something, it still looks good.

"Don't get hurt next time." Once again leaning over to pat the bird's head, Hui Yuanai picked up the bag beside her and prepared to leave.

Speaking of which, she seemed to have never seen such a bird before. Is it a new species?

The snow-white bird didn't fly away immediately, but stood there and tilted its head to look at Hui Yuanai's back for a while, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly there was a chirping sound, and the bird flapped its wings in front of Hui Yuanai, as if trying to stop her.

"What's the matter?"

The bird couldn't answer, but just flew in another direction.Flying - after a while it seemed that Hui Yuan Ai hadn't kept up and turned back.

Being blocked by the birds a few times like this, Hui Yuan Ai also felt strange.

"Do you want me to follow you?"

As if they could understand Hui Yuanai's words, the bird chirped cheerfully a few times, as if answering or urging.

Suspicion followed the bird and ran away for a while.Haibara Ai looked at the gradually changing scene around her and couldn't help wondering: Why did she feel as if she had never seen such a street before?

Unlike the high-rise buildings outside, although there are high walls on both sides of this road, it is quieter than the noise outside.

"Oh, where did you go?"

An old figure appeared on the street. The bird seemed to have finally arrived at its destination, and it slowly stopped on the old man's outstretched hand. It also restrained its claws, as if it was also afraid of scratching the old man.

"This is..." The old man seemed to have poor eyesight, and it took him a while to notice the handkerchief on the bird's feet.

"Why did you hurt yourself?" As if condemning the bird's recklessness, the old man tapped the little bird's head lightly.The little bird was also very human and hurriedly rubbed the old man's fingers, as if he was afraid that the old man would get angry.

"Did you bandage it?" The old man turned his head and looked at Hui Yuanai with a smile.

The old man seemed to be very old, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face.But he seems to be in a good state of mind, with a kind smile and kind eyes.

"It's me. Is this your bird, old man?"

Hui Yuanai approached curiously, looked at the white bird obediently standing in the palm of the old man, and couldn't help stroking it gently.

"That's right... This kid sneaked out before, and somehow he was injured. Thank you, Miss, for bandaging it." The old man said with a smile, "If you don't mind, why don't you come to my house for a while? ?”

The old man's house is also like her own. Although it can't be said to be very big, it can reveal a warm feeling everywhere.

The old man seemed to be in good health, and easily moved a sand basin in front of Hui Yuanai, motioning for Hui Yuanai to put his hand on the crossbar in front of him.

"As a thank you for saving the child, miss, let me do a divination for you once."

Divination?

As a former scientific researcher, Haibara Ai absolutely did not believe this.But he couldn't ignore the old man's wishes, and put his hand on it obediently.

"Um……"

A thin mist that came from nowhere slowly rose, gradually filling this small Japanese room.

"Miss, you... Although your previous life was in the abyss, you have already escaped from that terrible cage. So don't be afraid, walk bravely under the sun, your companions will be by your side .”

"Your deceased relatives lived very happily in heaven, and they are very happy to see that you have a completely different life now."

"It seems that you will face an extremely important choice in the not-too-distant future... Don't worry, just make the choice according to your own heart at that time."

The old man's old voice gradually reached Hui Yuanai's ears.She couldn't help opening her eyes wide, and an indescribable feeling flowed slowly in her heart.

The pendant that had been hanging vertically moved slowly, with a rustling sound, and slowly drew a pattern in the sand basin following the words of the old man.

The old man opened his eyes and looked at the pattern in the sand basin in surprise: "Oh, I didn't expect you and her to be so predestined, miss."

In the sand basin is a blooming Bana flower.

****

It has been a long time since she inherited Bianhua.

Hui Yuan Ai——Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her Bian Hua now.One day, the scene of divination when I was a human suddenly appeared in my mind.

She was holding the brightly colored Bana flowers around her. Perhaps that old man had already guessed her current ending?

She guards this flower field on the other side that will never wither all day long, watching souls come and go beside the Naihe Bridge.

The monster's lifespan is really long, so long that she no longer knows what year and month it is on this bank. Occasionally, when she wakes up from a dream, the soul by the river has changed again, and she doesn't know how many years have passed quietly.

She has also seen many familiar figures in it - her family members after reincarnation, a detective who is extremely stinky, those little ghosts who are always worrying, and even some people she was afraid of. Members of certain organizations in the bones.

But I don't know if it's because of the change of identity, looking at those overly familiar souls, apart from lamenting the short life of human beings, she has no other emotional fluctuations in her heart.

The other shore flower did not block the soul's way to the other shore, but for those people who crossed the Santu River on the boat, there would always be a bright red blooming flower on the boat for some reason, and the faint fragrance accompanied them to the final destination.

The Bianhua of the previous generation couldn't bear the pain of being alone, and was tortured by the love, sadness and loneliness in the heart for a long and endless time, and finally chose to sleep completely under the flower field.

But she is different.

In her long and boundless life, the memory of being "Miyano Shiho" has long been indifferent. Even if she deliberately recalls it, she can't remember anything except the pitch-black one.

But the memory of "Hui Yuan Ai" became more and more vivid. Every thrilling case, every happy camping, and every exciting adventure at that time became more and more profound in her heart.

Even if she falls asleep with such a wonderful memory in her dream when she doesn't know when she will wake up, she will definitely have a good dream.

Bianhua does not regret the decision back then.

For countless hours, she will bury this memory deeply, even though it may be remembered by no one but her, and no one has ever heard of it.

This will be the treasure of her life.
