Chapter 247 I am a bird in a cage
"It's Shiho."
Fang Gu Zero said tiredly.
He turned his head with difficulty to look at the brown-haired girl and smiled deeply. His purple-gray eyes were filled with trapped pain and a desire for liberation.
"Can you help me get out of this cage?"
His voice was as light as the slowly falling feathers of a flying bird, without a trace of weight, yet it carried the sadness of being separated from its body and forcibly pulled to the ground by gravity.
Miyano Shiho, who was busy examining him, suddenly stiffened. She turned her head to look at him so quickly that she almost sprained her neck.
"who are you?"
She asked calmly, her heart sinking into the abyss, her tear-filled eyes filled with despair, but she still stared at the blond young man, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
The organization's experiment is to create a personality loyal to the organization and thoroughly brainwash it, so it should not kill Che's main personality.
But she overheard Su Zijiu calling the boss, wanting to erase Che Ge's main personality and leave only the personality loyal to the organization.
So is Brother Che still Brother Che?
Brother Che, are you still there?
She held on to a faint hope that Che Ge must be sleeping somewhere in this body.
He was just, too tired.
Miyano Shiho's vision gradually became blurred. The only thing she was sure of was that it was definitely not Toru who had awakened this time. Toru's eyes were gentle, firm, and all-embracing.
Instead of being like now, with a hint of melancholy and sadness between his brows, the way he looks at people is as if he is watching an absurd farce, with compassion in the humor.
He looked at the blue sky with a mournful look, and said softly and frantically, "I am just a bird in a cage."
He suddenly smiled with joy, and the rapid change of emotions made Miyano Shiho feel terrified.
Furiya Rei wiped the blood off his cheek and said happily, "So, I will break free from the shackles of humanity. I will be a magician pursuing freedom. I will chase freedom and become freedom!"
He ignored the wounds on his body and even turned a blind eye to his blood-stained clothes.
He slowly sat up, his brows furrowed slightly, a faint sadness and a deep sorrow spreading across his body. He looked up at the sky, which was now obscured by the tall buildings, leaving only a small space. He said sadly, "Why are we not born free?"
“A magician can provide happiness to everyone, but he cannot give everyone freedom.”
“I can only watch myself bloom, wither, and die in this unfree world.”
"Why can't we fly freely in the endless blue sky like birds?"
“Even in death, my body will not rot in the soil. Instead, under the gaze of the sky, accompanied by the breeze of freedom, I will be buried in the blue sky.”
He expressed good wishes in a soft and ethereal voice, as if touching a beautiful bubble of fantasy: "I just want everyone to live freely."
Miyano Shiho clenched her blood-stained hands, not knowing what to say for a moment.
A free...personality?
The organization failed!
They wanted a tool that would be loyal to the organization, but it backfired.
She should have been gloating, mocking the organization for shooting itself in the foot. But Miyano Shiho's heart ached violently, a wave of immense grief washing over her. Her heart felt like a piece of transparent glass, shattered from an eighteen-story building, unable to be put back together.
She stared at the smiling man in front of her with red eyes, feeling that his soul was in pain, crying out loudly and heart-wrenchingly, shouting - Why am I not free! !
Before she knew it, she was in tears.
Furiya Rei ignored the girl's attempts to stop him and jumped out of the car.
This drastic movement made his injuries worse.
But he seemed to have no sense of pain. Although his steps were weak, they were firm enough.
Stepping on the blood dripping from the hem of his clothes, he walked slowly towards the outside of the research institute, one step deep and one step shallow.
Miyano Shiho couldn't stop him, so she could only grab his clothes tightly and stumble forward with him.
Her eyes were filled with tears, fearing that Che Ge would die like this.
Growing up in the Black Organization, she knew how fragile life was.
During this period, Che Ge was tortured all the time, and she was in great pain.
She had thought that after Che Ge woke up, she would tell him that she would find a way to let them escape no matter what.
Just, just hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer——
But unexpectedly, the person who woke up was someone else.
Brother Che was unable to persevere under the torture of the experiment.
He didn't wait for her!
She didn't wait for him!
"Magician, where are you going?" Miyano Shiho sniffed, trying to suppress her sobs, and said firmly, "You can't ruin Toru's body like this. He's seriously injured and needs proper treatment and recuperation."
The hand she held Che Ge's was also stained red with the blood on her clothes, as if she could scoop up a handful of blood with a light squeeze.
Her eyes were red and she wondered blankly, how could there be so much blood in the human body?
There were so many that just one look made her dizzy and even breathing became difficult, as if she was drowning in the blood rushing towards her.
Furiya Rei suddenly stopped, turned sideways and touched her head, his gaze fell on Miyano Shiho, looking directly into her eyes. His voice was as light as falling snow, without any weight, but chilling to the bone: "Shiho, are you trapped?"
Miyano Shiho froze.
Furiya Rei looked dejected, his voice mournful, "Are you trapped by something called 'emotions'?"
The tan-haired girl's face instantly turned pale as the dark-skinned hand silently rested on her neck. The gentle and forgiving eyes that she had always missed had turned cold and cruel, filled with sorrow and regret.
"Don't be afraid, Shiho." His voice was soft and elegant, like a bard singing, "I will help you gain freedom, help you escape from the cage, and grant you redemption from death."
His expression was filled with eager relief and liberation, as well as the joy of helping people gain freedom and the pain of killing lives.
Miyano Shiho could clearly feel the other person's hand tightening rapidly.
She will definitely be killed.
Miyano Shiho was very clear about this.
But she must not die at the hands of a magician.
If, if one day Che Ge woke up and found out that he had killed his sister with his own hands, how painful he would be.
His spirit was already broken and could not bear any more stimulation.
She quietly took out a bottle of anesthetic from her pocket and quickly sprayed it on the blond young man's face.
Fūya Rei quickly turned his head and avoided the spray.
When Miyano Shiho saw that the spray didn't work, her heart sank and the spray in her hand fell to the ground.
When Jōgō Rei's purple-gray eyes met the little girl's eyes full of fear and pain, he slowly loosened his hands, as if he understood something, and laughed with his hands covering his face.
"Ah, I who forced you to be free am no longer free."
"Humanity, after all, can only save itself."
he murmured.
"Shiho."
Furuya Rei let out a low cry.
