Chapter 720 Is this the truth?
"If you're here to spy on me, why do you help me so much?"
"Let me think about it. You're probably unwilling to accept this reality, so you're trying to rationalize everything by brainwashing yourself, right? I certainly understand how you feel. Let me think about it. Maybe you've done something unforgivable. They all want to get rid of you, but this soft-hearted guy has decided to give you a chance. As long as you can deliver a satisfactory answer, he can let you live~"
"..."
"He treats you like his own child? It's truly amazing, but he does have a good heart. Countless people want to have him, but countless others can't."
"I...what did I do wrong?"
"It's a serious mistake that's enough to exile you to another world and torture you to death. You can't die. This is the fate that determines the outcome. You have to go back alive. This is the result that everyone must experience. Everyone hopes that you will be there later, much later..."
"My presence is in the prophecy, isn't it?"
The person reflected in the sword's shadow seemed to have changed. The other person was smiling, but his face was serious.
"Very clever! According to the prophecy, you will destroy the entire world. No one doubts the authenticity of this prophecy, because it was created by someone who is incapable of making mistakes!"
"So my life was determined by that, even though I didn't do it."
"Hate, anguish, pain, yes, they decided to kill you all just because of a prophecy. How many times have they killed you?"
“…But I also lived a normal life.”
"Well... that guy tried his best to teach you what normal emotions are, what normal love is, and what normal values are. He tried his best to teach you how to love the world and prevent it from suffering. Unfortunately, you didn't learn the good things, but you learned the bad things very quickly."
"I do not have."
"You still say no, otherwise why kill him?"
"?!"
"Don't you know? You killed him with your own hands..." The shadow in the sword seemed to come out and face him, "You stabbed that defenseless guy through the heart with your own hands!"
"!"
The memory flashed back in front of me. I really did it...
An almost desperate feeling of fear came over me. I fell to the ground and gasped for a long time before I gradually regained my breathing and heartbeat.
This scene was too real. He pinched his fingertips hard, and blood flowed out and dripped onto the ground. With two drips, he heard the other person's voice again.
"Hey, hey, give it to me, don't waste this blood..."
"This is fake, right?"
"...You didn't want this to be true, so you wanted me to treat it all as a lie. This isn't how you should be. The old you would have scolded me and held this memory close to your heart, because you understand that pain is the path to growth, and you also understand that sin cannot be washed away."
"...I am guilty, and I will know it. I will atone for my past, but not now. I have other things to do, more important things to do. I will ask in person until I get the answer."
"You already have a memory anchor. If I were to explain it, it would mean that no matter what time it is, I know everything about you. I can see your present, your past, and your future. I am your anchor."
"...I should say I'm your anchor. You should be a collective consciousness. In that case, to me, you always exist in your present form, but I am your anchor for the future, and also your present and past. Whether you want to go to the past or live in the present, you need my existence, right?"
"Smarter than I thought, but this is indeed the time you should know this. In your memory, you already know all of this, so today is a day worth following. I can travel through all of your time, but I'm not a real person. I'm just experiencing your life. Oh, it's amazing... I hope that in the future we can exchange and you can experience my life here."
"... memories... we exchange them, right?"
"Hmm~ After a certain period of time, we will swap, but our memories will be wiped clean. It will be a pure swap of souls. This is because this sword nourishes the soul better than this body. In fact, we could have become real people long ago, we could have merged into one. If that were the case, it would be negative for us. This sword is a better place for the soul to gather than the body, and your body also needs a weapon that is strong enough and satisfactory."
"If the soul resides in the body, then a sword without the soul is nothing but scrap metal. If the soul resides in the sword, then a person without a body can only become a sword spirit..."
"That's right, we complement each other, dear. Oh, this is my oral habit, you learned it from me. We should switch it recently, not long ago, because I feel very comfortable with my life. I don't want you to kill everything like before. I just hope you can kill more so that I can eat enough."
"..."
"This sword will imbue the soul with murderous intent, which means it's cursed. No matter what, as long as you need me, I will appear. We will all appear. After all, if you die, I can't live either. After you die, your soul will completely return to the sword. At this time... the blade will completely lose its scabbard."
He stood up, cleaned up the room, and chose to go home. This sword has many secrets, but today he has learned most of them. The other party is not lying, because his memory and soul are connected. If he is lying, he will be able to know it. But he still holds a small possibility. What if it is an accident? He wants to ask the other party.
After returning to the room, I fell into a deep sleep. Only in this way could I come there and push open the closed door.
"..."
"Now that you're here, what would you like to have today, tea, juice, or hot cocoa?"
"..."
"It was just an accident. I know that very well. There's no need to feel guilty or embarrassed about it."
"!"
"Do I know this is weird?"
"Why are you literally spying on me?"
"Well... I'm just reading your mind. Right now, your mind is especially easy to read because you have a lot of worries and sorrows. You will be sad and you will cry, but you won't allow yourself to do so. So, speak it out. It will feel better!"
