Return of the Mask

After leaving the school, Otoki walked directly to Yuannai's house.

In addition to Gennai Otoki's daughter, the Gennai family also has a younger daughter named Gennai Tomoki.Zhishu is studying in the elementary school attached to Lihai University. Unlike Yuannai Yinshu, she is very popular.

However, for the older sister Gennai Otoki, even though she is an ordinary, even mediocre girl in the eyes of others, Zhiki is very attached to her.

She still remembered that when she woke up in this world that day, the first thing she saw was Zhishu's face.A pair of big eyes on the small face were red, and she didn't know how long she had been crying, but it was obvious that she was still shedding tears at that time.The excitement of seeing her wake up made that little face flush.

At that moment, Yinshu was stunned, because the scene reminded her of the time when she first arrived in Soul Soul Realm.

That person would never show that expression like Tomoki, would never cry, would never smile at her...he was nothing like Tomoki...but for some reason it reminded her...

It is impossible for the soul to find the relatives of her former relatives after she arrived in the world of corpses and souls, and more than 100 years have already made her forget the appearance of her former relatives.

In her concept, he is her relative.

——Knowing the tree made her miss it very much now after leaving the soul world for so long.

I miss my old friends, teachers, and relatives...but the return journey is far away, and I don't even know if there is a chance to go back...

Opening the door, taking off his shoes at the entrance, and putting on slippers, Yin Shu shouted "I'm back", and then heard footsteps as expected.

"Sister!!" As soon as Yinshu turned around, a shadow rushed towards her.

Catching her dangerously, Yinshu flicked her forehead with his fingers, Zhishu howled and covered his forehead in aggrieved way.

"Be careful in the future, if it's not me today but your father, you can go kiss the earth together."

"Xiaoyin! How can you say that about Dad in front of your younger sister?!" An angry voice sounded behind her.

In the next second, Yinshu grabbed a big hand that was just above her head expressionlessly.

"Uh...Xiao, Xiaoyin! Let go!"

Yinshu picked out his ears and turned his face away.

"Ha, haha... Zhishu, look, your sister is so naughty, Dad just wants to pat her head, haha..."

And Zhishu just raised his head and looked at him in bewilderment.

Feeling that hand was trying to pull it out in vain, Yinshu curled his lips, muttered "Don't try to attack me" in a low voice, and let go of his hand.

In the next second, a man with stubble on his chin jumped in front of them, put his hands on his hips, and said with a serious face: "In the future, Dad will say 'Daddy worked hard' when he comes back, do you understand?"

"..."

"..."

"..." The middle-aged man stared at them for a long time, but what he got was the dull faces of the two daughters, and finally turned around with grief and indignation, howling, "My dear daughters are all grown up", and ran to the kitchen.

"..."

"..."

Zhishu turned his head and looked at Yinshu in bewilderment.

Yinshu smiled, patted her on the head, and then planned to go upstairs to put her schoolbag.

But before he could take a step, he was pulled back.

Turning around, I saw Zhishu tugging on her sleeve, with an excited look on his face, as if he wanted to tell her some little secret.

Smiling, Yinshu turned around strangely and bent down. "What's the matter? Is there anything good to share with my sister?" Then she pulled her face.

Zhishu nodded immediately, then approached her, and put her mouth close to Yinshu's ear.

Immediately realizing what she was going to do, Yinshu put his ear to it helplessly.

"Sister, do you know who Zhishu saw today?"

"Senior Yukimura?" Otoki asked lazily, Zhishu's admiration for Yukimura Seichi was terrifying.

Zhishu shook his head, his eyes became brighter. "It's Brother Aqian!!"

Yinshu was stunned. "... Ah Qian?"

"Yes, yes!!" Seemingly satisfied with Otoki's reaction, Tomoki nodded excitedly.

Slowly straightening up, Yinshu looked at her with a strange expression, and said uncertainly: "Ah Qian...you mean that Ah Qian who died in a car accident three years ago?"

"Brother Ah Qian is not dead!" Zhishu dissatisfied, "Zhishu saw him! Just yesterday!"

Yinshu looked at Zhishu silently, not knowing what to say to her.

"Sister, sister, are you unhappy? Brother Aqian is still alive! Doesn't sister also like him very much?"

"I...I'm very happy, look, Brother Aqian really likes you, right?" She knelt down, patted Zhishu's head, and forced a smile, "Brother Aqian knows that Zhishu misses him. So I came back to see you in my dream, he never came to see my sister."

"Meng..." Zhishu looked at her in confusion, "No, it's not a dream... Zhishu really saw him!"

"Zhishu..." Yinshu sighed, "Listen, maybe it's not appropriate to tell you these things now...but you must know that you will face more deaths in the future, and maybe you will miss those who died, Sometimes I dream about them, but I can’t confuse this with reality, and I can’t believe in their deaths because of this, otherwise the impact of those people’s deaths on you is endless.” After a pause, Yinshu thought to himself mockingly Who is she trying to say to, "Brother Aqian is dead, you will make parents worry about you, do you know?"

It is impossible for her to tell Zhishu what she saw. Once she tells Zhishu that she can see those things like herself, Zhishu may think it is an interesting discovery and tell her parents.She is still young and doesn't know what this means to normal people, so now she can only lie to her like this and confuse her thinking.When Zhishu grows up, she will naturally know what she saw, and then she will naturally know what attitude she should take towards it.

Zhishu looked at her with wide eyes, maybe didn't understand anything.

Pat Zhishu's head, Yinshu went upstairs.

As soon as she arrived at school the next day, Yinshu found that everyone seemed to be in a very excited state. She was a little confused, so she only knew that the only two tennis players who could cause such a large-scale impact were not in the classroom.

"Don't you know what's going on? I knew it!" Monobe Chidori appeared in front of her, smiling triumphantly, "Sure enough, it's like a different person. If it was before, you must have known the news yesterday. "

"Is it related to the tennis club?" Yin Shu said listlessly, looking out of the window with his chin propped up, "Don't tell me, I want to hang out before class, don't waste my time with this kind of thing."

"..." Monobe Chidori looked at her speechlessly for a while, "Then after school this afternoon, are you going to watch their game?"

"I've already said that I'm not interested anymore." Yinshu said a little impatiently.She suddenly thought of what to do if Zhishu saw Ah Qian's soul again today and went directly to tell her parents...

"Okay..." Chidori Monobe bit his lower lip as if he couldn't find anything to talk about, glanced at Otoki, and asked strangely, "Why do you think you're absent-minded?"

"Ah," Otoki replied lazily, supporting his chin with another hand, "I think of the lovely Tomoki..."

"Don't be disgusting, can I do it... It's almost time for class, I'll go back to my seat..."

I don't know if it's because of the incident in the tennis club that also affected the teacher, but every class today is very relaxed.Finally, when it was time to leave school, Yinshu picked up his schoolbag and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the monitor.

"Sanada-san was originally on duty today, but he went to participate in the competition, so I'll leave it to you, Gennai-san!"

Tone Tree threw the rag on his face, smiling distortedly. "Don't think about it!"

The monitor calmly took down the rag and handed her some homework.

"This is all the homework for today. I accidentally finished it in school. Hand it in for me tomorrow, Gennai-san!"

The corner of Yinshu's mouth twitched. "If the teacher knows that Tangtang's monitor lent students homework to copy—"

"—Student Gennai!!" The squad leader suddenly raised his voice and interrupted her, "Look——" He waved his hand, and Yinshu followed his hand to scan the surrounding area, "Students all They're all gone! Only you are left! We can only rely on you, Gennai-san!!"

"You are not human, hey!!"

"I'm going to watch the game, do you know that I support Liu Yu very much!!!" the monitor howled excitedly.

"...But..." Yin Shu's eyes twitched.

"Didn't you say that you're not interested in the competition? It's not good to help your classmates like this? Don't tell me you still hold Sanada-san—"

Yinshu threw the homework in his face expressionlessly.

"Squad leader," clapping his hands, Yinshu smiled distortedly, "I'm a good student and never copy homework. I'll pretend nothing happened this afternoon, so don't bring it up again." Just walk around him.

"Wait, homework can be left out, but hygiene can't be mentioned together, hey!!!"

Yinshu ignored the howling ghosts and wolves behind him, and left without looking back.

However, being dragged by the squad leader like this, the time was also much later.

Because many students gathered on the road when leaving the campus, Yinshu had to change the road.That road is much quieter, maybe because all the students are going to watch some game in the tennis department, this road is even a little weirdly quiet.

The breeze blows, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and the dim sunset light becomes chaotic through the gaps between the leaves, almost confusing people's eyes.

Everything in front seems to be immersed in the warm sunset light, which is a little unreal.

Yin Shu walked quietly on the road without changing his face.

"Ayin..."

The ear is full of the "rustling" sound of leaves rubbing against each other, maybe there is a slight sound of wind, and the sound of people cheering not far away.

The shadow of the setting sun getting longer and longer behind him.

"Ayin..."

"Ayin..."

"You...you really have forgotten me..."

Yinshu stepped forward step by step, without any disorder in her steps, even though her brows were slightly frowned.

"You... you really like Sanada... don't you? I've been by your side all the time, but you've forgotten me a long time ago, haven't you?"

Taking a deep breath, Yinshu stopped and looked around.

Suddenly, she was shocked and turned her head to look forward.Not far away, a figure appeared at an unknown time, walking towards her slowly.

When did he show up?She paid attention to him for a long time just now and didn't find him...the soul of this world...something is wrong...

While she was distracted, that soul had already walked in front of her.

Yin Shu frowned at him.It should be the childhood sweetheart named Takeshimae in Gennai Otoki's memory.

For some reason, she felt familiar with him.Is it because of the sound tree in the source?Gennai Otoki likes him very much, but it's not the kind of liking between men and women, but purely like him as a family member.When he died in a car accident three years ago, Gennai Otoki was very sad. That emotion is still affecting her soul that has nothing to do with Takeshimae?

"Ayin..." Soul smiled gently, and opened his hands, as if to embrace her in his arms.

Tone Tree took a step back calmly.

Soul smiled and looked at her suspiciously.

"Have you visited Zhishu?"

Soul kept smiling, and after a few seconds, as if thinking, he nodded.

"Because you are already a soul, so I have to tell you clearly about some things that cannot be said to them," Yin Shu said word by word, but felt a little strange at the soul's unchanging expression in his heart, "I am no longer The original source sound tree, the source sound tree you like, is dead."

The soul is still smiling, silent.

Yinshu frowned.

"So don't come to me...don't go to Zhishu either, she's still young..." Perhaps because these words were a bit cruel, Yinshu didn't know how to speak for a while.

Soul still smiled, as if he didn't hear Yinshu's words, he took another step closer to her.

Yinshu frowned, looked down, suddenly shook his whole body, and shouted: "Where did the chain on your chest go?!"

At the same time, a hand dragged her backwards!

——The next second, the soul screamed in pain!A huge hole appeared in the chest! !
