Chapter 52 Mr. Huiyuan Refuses His Last Words
The image is horrifying—but not actually bloody.The gardener's hand was completely submerged into the little girl's abdomen, but it was like a phantom overlapping another phantom.The junction line is extremely smooth, with no breaks, no bleeding, and even no wrinkles in the clothes.

[However, the little girl still cried out in pain. 】

[While the little girl was crying, the gardener just looked calm. On one side, he pressed the little girl's body like a pair of iron pincers and fixed her body. The other hand was still operating something inside the little girl's body, while muttering something.

"Don't look forward to it."

"Can't love."

"Can't hate."

"People should give up. Give up everything in this world to have a chance to return to heaven."

"Because everything in this world is a trap created by the Creator to keep you."

Then, he kept silent and just concentrated on operating. 】

[Only the little girl's fading cries remain. 】

Hui Yuanchu was shocked by this scene, and suddenly woke up from the immersed plot.

…who is a gardener?What on earth is he doing?
Wait, this theory he is talking about——

Just when Hui Yuan's thoughts suddenly changed, there were new changes on the screen.

Suddenly the gardener smiled abruptly.He raised his head to face the camera and said, "Am I right? Your Excellency the Creator?"

Hui Yuan suddenly became alert and trembled slightly.

This is Yumiko Tamaki's memory, something that has already happened.

But - Huiyuan had a strong illusion at that moment, feeling that the gardener's words were meant for him.This was said to him who saw this scene several years later due to the connection between his consciousness.

[The gardener finally withdraws his hand]

[The red gem in his hand has disappeared, presumably it was left in the little girl's body.The little girl's abdomen was also intact, and there was no difference at all.

The little girl finally lost consciousness and passed out.

The gardener then stroked the top of her head and said softly: "Go to sleep, forget all this, and then thrive."

Then he left. 】

[No one remembers that he came, including the little girl and her parents. 】

……

The movie ends here.

The lights in the theater came back on.

Hui Yuanchu sighed deeply, adjusted his mood, and then turned his head to look at the people around him.

Although he had long realized who the person beside him had been holding his hand.But it wasn't until this moment that he could really see her clearly in the most adequate light.

Tamaki Yumiko looked up at the screen showing the credits, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Yu Zhi..." Looking at her, the words Hui Yuanchu wanted to ask disappeared. The last thing he said was a somewhat inexplicable sentence, "...does it still hurt?"

Tamaki Yumiko wiped the corners of her eyes and laughed: "...Of course it won't hurt now, but once I really think about it, I will still cry like a conditioned reflex."

"Well, I finally remembered it all. The story of the Tower of Babel was originally a story told to me by the 'Gardener'... It's just that I forgot about the 'Gardener', but I remembered the story itself first."

"...Speaking of it, even if I don't remember anything, it seems that starting from that parents' trip, I really began to gradually alienate the church...because whenever I see a person dressed as a priest, I always feel helpless. Consciously feeling scared and wanting to stay away.”

"Then, I don't know why, but I started dreaming about this story again a year ago...

"Haihara-kun will know everything that happened next. After all, you have always been by my side."

Hui Yuan nodded.He finally understood the beginning of everything, the true origin of the "Tower of Babel".

Whether it's Tamaki's dream or her ascension, everything must be related to the red gemstone that the mysterious man who called himself the gardener put into Yumiko Tamaki's body.

The "thriving" in the gardener's last sentence should not refer to Tamaki Yumiko, but this gem...or the process of ascension.Tamaki Yumiko also fell silent.

But soon, she sighed.

"Let's talk about something else...Haihara-kun, do you like me?"

After a brief hesitation, Hui Yuanchu chose to tell the truth: "No."

Tamaki Yumiko didn't show any special emotion, but continued to ask, "Do you hate it?"

"Not at all."

"I knew it." Tamaki Yumiko laughed at this time, "That's what I thought."

"……What's the meaning?"

"I mean, Haibara-kun has been protecting me." Yumiko Tamaki sighed, "Although I'm a little pretentious, I also thought about it, could it be Haibara-kun who likes me? "

“But Haibara-kun shouldn’t be that kind of person.

“You won’t like someone like me.

"You will protect me just because you want to do that..." Tamaki Yumiko turned her face and asked seriously, "Well, can you tell me the reason?"

"Well, why?" Hui Yuanchu thought.

It seems that Oroku Kui has asked a similar question.

That was the last rest time on the fifth floor of No.60.In fact, the question was first raised by Hui Yuanchu: "Speaking of which, why do you care so much about Yuzhi?"

Zhe Lukui rolled her eyes at him, showing an expression of disgust: "...I'm not interested in Yuzhi. It's just that things related to evil spirits are something I have to do."

"Can't you not do it?"

"——'Duty'. Just understand that it is my duty." Aoi Oro said expressionlessly, "Saving Tamaki Yumiko is just a way. But if necessary next time, there is no harm in sacrificing Tamaki."

"But you -" before Hui Yuanchu asked again, she asked directly, "Don't you think you have done enough for Tamaki Yumiko?"

"If you put aside the seriousness of the matter... it would be a bit disgusting to compare your relationship with Tamaki with your level of attentiveness, isn't it?" She mocked with a smile as always.

Indeed, from the perspective of a bystander, Haiyuan almost risked his life for Tamaki Yumiko.But at the same time, there's nothing between the two of them that warrants this level of relationship.

Hui Yuan was not angry at first, but just thought about why he had to do this so seriously.

"...I used to be a failure in life." He traced his inner thoughts and carefully concealed the words 'previous life' or 'previous world'.

He tried to express his feelings, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became: "But recently I feel quite happy - so I can do such great things?"

Zhe Lukui didn't mock him at that time. She stared at Hui Yuanchu and just said lightly: "I hope you can always keep this idea."

But now, after hearing the same words, Tamaki Yumiko just sighed quietly and said: "But - Haibara-kun, you died because of this,"

"Although I can't control my body, I know what happened just now. Why did you give up the struggle in the end?"

"...Although it's very similar to the choice you would make if you don't seem to care about anything, but you are very stubborn in strange places...but I already have no hope, so it's not worth it."

"Well, I am indeed attracted to you like this."

"...Forget it, it doesn't matter. Our time is almost up anyway." She smiled, closed her eyes, and lay down on the sofa in the theater. "Although this statement is very selfish - but in the end, Haibara-kun It’s really nice to be with you.”

Hui Yuanchu scratched his head and said: "——But, Yu Zhi."

"Speaking of which, I've been thinking just now, why am I here? Apart from seeing your memories, it's not necessarily because... you asked me to come here to listen to your last words, or to let you listen to my last words, right?"

"Sorry, maybe it's because I almost died. My thinking has only recovered now, so I can use it."

"...I have remembered some important things." Hui Yuanchu said seriously, "Yu Zhi, do you want to believe me again? Let me enter your deepest part? Open everything you have to me?"
