Chapter 634
Yes, Tohno Makihisa was in trouble.
If it was him before, in his prime, and decisive in killing, he would definitely not be entangled.Either use the ability to brainwash Kohaku and turn her into a real puppet (Makiku has this ability, and Shiki's memory was tampered with by him).Either kill Amber directly and never suffer from future troubles.After all, Kohaku is still too young, and she doesn't have much fighting power, so it's easy for Makiku to deal with her.
But now it's different.He was weakened, neither physically nor mentally strong.
Some people have said that when people get old, they will start to recall the past, especially past mistakes, and they will look down on many things and let go of past attachments.Although Makiku is not yet 50 years old, he has a similar mentality. He once betrayed and killed many people for ambition, to keep his family, and to gain status. His hands have already been stained with blood.
Regret?
No, if he was asked to do it all over again, he would still do it.
Because of the existence of extraordinary power, the mysterious world is more naked than the secular world, where the jungle is prey to the strong and the hierarchy is strict.However, due to various reasons such as geography and history, Japan is even more serious than Western societies.
Living in such a world, in such a dangerous family, if you don't want to be knocked out of the dust, you can only try your best to climb up until you become a colossus that no one can easily shake.
Makiku did it.
He led the Tono family to become the leader of the "mixed blood" line, a giant in the Japanese mysterious world, and the manager of the Tokyo area.
He became the best head of the Tono family with a long history.
So, he won't regret it.
However, although he doesn't regret it, he still has some guilt for the people he hurt. As time goes by, this guilt becomes deeper and heavier-although he has been mixed with the blood of "devil", he still feels guilty after all. Human nature has never been wiped out, which is why Cheng Zi finally decided to make a move.
What this puppeteer, who aspires to become an "immortal", has stepped into the realm of the soul and embarked on the road to immortality, loves most is the flash of human nature, that is, the brilliance of the soul.Everything she does is for this glory.
Makiku, who has been walking in the dark for a lifetime, did not disappoint Chengzi in the end.
After secretly observing his daughter and sisters Kohaku and Jade, and confirming the relationship between the three, Makiku made a decision.
He is dying and there is not much time left.But these children are still young, they should have a better and brighter future, and they should not be destroyed because of their own darkness and mistakes, so let's use this life that is about to burn out to do something for these children , a negligible atonement.
On that day, Maki left the hospital bed after a long absence, called family members, clansmen, and servants together, and held a banquet.After the banquet, he entertained Chengzi alone, and the two drank until late. No one knew what they talked about.
Then, Makiku called Kohaku to his room, just like when the nightmare started on the night of his eighth birthday.
The difference is that Makiku did something to Kohaku like before, just let her sit down, and then knelt on the ground with a "plop".He began to talk about his past, without embellishment or evasion, just telling the truth in an old and trembling voice.
After saying all this, he lowered his body to the ground.It's not to seek Amber's forgiveness, but to hope that Amber will focus all her hatred on herself.Whether it's killing, cutting, or torture, Makiku is willing to bear it, but he doesn't want her to vent her anger on Akiba.Because Qiuye treats Amber sincerely and treats Amber as a family member.In order to protect Amber from harm, Akiba named her as her personal maid.
Amber sat on the chair blankly, did not imitate her sister's smile, her eyes were dull, as if she had become a puppet again.
She just sat there, sitting still, not moving.
Makiku just knelt like this, waiting, motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, Amber stood up and walked towards the door without saying a word. She did nothing in the end.
One second before Kohaku was about to leave the room, Makiku stopped her.Kohaku turned around awkwardly, and then she saw Makiku lying on the ground in a strange posture.
His right hand was pierced through his left chest, and there was still a fragment of his heart in his hand—he committed suicide.
As he was dying, he uttered his last prayer: "Don't get angry with Qiu Ye, let alone let the fire of hatred get out of control and eventually spread to younger sister Fei Cui. Leave a place for yourself and everyone."
He just fell to the ground and looked at Amber, at the girl who was sent to hell by himself.
Watching, watching...until he died without closing his eyes.
Another long silence, dead silence.
Kohaku suddenly let out a mournful cry, and then punched and kicked Makihisa's corpse like crazy.
The blood wet her clothes, wet her hands, feet, face, and pink hair. She was like a vengeful female ghost, constantly venting her hatred on her enemies until the night before, Exhausted, he fell into a pool of blood together with Makiku, who was already out of shape.
A long sigh sounded, and the compartment door of Makiku's bedroom was opened, revealing two long-haired women, one mature and the other a little immature, it was Orange and Akiba.
Cheng Zi walked out of the room silently, leaving space for the most innocent girl.
The moment the door closed, she heard suppressed sobs, it was the grief of losing a loved one, and it was also the relief that the poor girl could finally express her heart.
A little spark lights up, and wisps of smoke pervade the air. The puppeteer who can see the brilliance of the soul puts his beloved "Dragon Smoke" in his mouth, and closes his eyes.
She saw the last detachment of the scattered soul, the chaotic and dirty color gradually faded, leaving behind a most authentic determination, which was injected into the body that had been hurt countless times around her.
She saw that the soul covered by the fire of hatred has a different coolness. Although it is still very weak compared with the fire of hatred, as long as there is an introduction and hope, she will find a direction one day. Get lost again.
She saw that the girl with the same characteristics as herself was constantly tortured by the imposed will. Although she endured a lot of suffering, she never forgot her original intention and her true nature, and finally shed a different kind of brilliance.
"It's beautiful."
The puppeteer with his eyes closed opened the window, letting the morning light shine into the home, dispelling the darkness entrenched here, letting the fresh air flow through the mansion, and taking away the haze that had accumulated for many years.
This ancient family finally got rid of the entanglement of old karma and embarked on a new path.
The sky is bright and clear as glass.
PS: Anyway, the traitor is unable to understand some of Makihisa's operations, killing decisively for a lifetime, but leaving so many hidden dangers in the end.It's a pity that "Tsukihime" wasn't popular enough, otherwise it would be Tokiomi's turn to take the blame?
PS2: Come on, read to me—everything is Makiku's fault.
