Chapter 266

Under Annan's narration, the image of a reticent young man gradually became vivid in words.

Annan's eyes hidden in the shadows are shining with wisdom and understanding at this moment.

"Come and listen, will it be such a story..."

He crossed his fingers, and there was a calm and serene expression on his old face in the wheelchair.

"When he was a child, his father left him."

Annan narrated: "His mother received the 'relic' from his father and told him that his father was a hero who died fighting for glory in a foreign land.

"Mother raised him very hard. He didn't learn knowledge. He could only work as an apprentice and repair watches. And he finally got tired of this kind of life and ran away from home.

"When he came home, he found that his mother had already died of illness, and he didn't even know what illness she had. It was probably at this time that he awakened the ability to reverse time.

"But even if he can turn back time, he still can't save his mother. Maybe it's because it's been too long, or maybe his ability can't be used for this kind of thing. He finally went back to be his own tinkerer.

"He relied on his own ability to become the best tinkerer. He didn't know what he was going to do, and he didn't know how long this job could last... let alone why he wasted his time here.

"What he really wanted, was to be a [doctor]."

Annan said softly: "He doesn't want to mend these bits and pieces...he wants to mend others. He wants patients who are suffering from illnesses like his own mother to be 'fixed' by himself.

"But his abilities are inconvenient to reveal to others—or, his abilities cannot be used to treat others. He has no education, and even his writing is crooked. In his mind, a philosopher can answer himself A madman of all doubts. That's why, in his dream, there was such a doctor.

"He wanted the doctor to be his father. He thought maybe his father hadn't really died, but had just fled from the battlefield... He had already vaguely had such an idea.

"Perhaps Mother wouldn't have died if Father had been here—he thought. That's why the 'Doctor' and the 'Old Woman' are always together.

"His real age should be much older than the tinker's teens. When he ran away from home, he was about the same age as the 'yellow hair'; and when he returned to his hometown, his mother's age should be the same as the 'old woman'. 'almost.

"In other words, he is now a middle-aged man.

"In a sense, the 'doctor' is also the projection of his 'ideal self' in his dream. So the doctor is such a strong muscular man, so his temper is gentle, cultured, and Anyone can be in a good relationship...

"In other words, he hopes that his father is such a person; at the same time, he hopes that he can become such a person.

"But he wasn't, and couldn't be, after all.

"As a tinkerer, he can't repair his own heart. He can reverse time, but he can't change the tragedy that happened to him."

Following Annan's narration.

The stagnant, faceless people in the room,

They all began to fade away one by one.

"He's finally old enough to start a family."

Annan said leisurely: "He has no education and no good job. His wife is also commensurate with him. She is ordinary and fat. She is a typical village woman.

"Finally, his wife was pregnant.

"At this time, he had a new fear.

"Although he has never seen his father since he was a child, and he doesn't even know what he looks like, so he lacks fatherly love... But it doesn't mean that he can take care of his own children.

"—Because he can't give his children a good education. He still thinks that he is just a 'child' and hopes that he can go back to the past. So the 'Tinker' is a thin child.

"He gradually realized that if his child was born, his fate would probably be the same as his own. Even if he could take care of the child to grow up, it might not be different in the end.

"That can only be another reincarnation."

Annan said softly: "So, he made a decision.

"—he killed people. A rich man who was on good terms with him and could trust him."

When Annan said this.

The world around me is like a shattered mirror—collapsing in an instant.

There was the crackling sound of burning wood, and the smoke filled the surroundings.

Both Annan and Black Annan could smell the scorched smell very clearly...but it wasn't just the smell of burnt wood.

It was the smell of burning corpses.

The smell of hair, blood, and burnt flesh.

The bodies of the woman and the girl were also placed on another bed. And the bed that had been sprinkled with wine was already raging like a raging fire, with high flames rising.

And a thin young man panting heavily was raising a bloody ax high up, aiming at the middle-aged man who had just opened his eyes on the bed.

Behind him are Annan and Black Annan.

Hei Annan, who was originally standing by the window admiring the sunset, also walked behind Annan and pushed the wheelchair Annan was sitting on to bring it closer to the bed.

They clearly saw that the middle-aged man lying on the bed, unable to move his body at all, and even unable to open his mouth, had tears gradually overflowing from his eyes.

And the two Annans were like ghosts, not seen by anyone.

Annan said softly: "He put medicine in the dishes, took enough hypnotics for the other party's family, rummaged through his house, stole - or robbed enough money. A sum that can make his children live A rich life will not make money in his old way.

"But such a crime would definitely be discovered. So he kept on doing two things... decided to burn their whole family at home, and use a big fire to cover up all the evidence."

The young man was panting violently, dripping with sweat in the sea of ​​fire.

His pupils trembled violently.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and ruthlessly chopped off the axe.

—Blood spurted out.

Passed through Annan and Hei Annan.

Annan said softly, "And it's late at night.

"The sun has set."

Following Annan's answer, new changes appeared in the small words below [Main Mission: Sunset]:

【Find another self (completed)】

【Find the real dead (completed)】

【Find the truth】

"Soon, Annan...soon."

Hei Annan was behind Annan, across the wheelchair, reaching out to hug his waist.

The girl knelt on the ground, resting her forehead on the back of the wheelchair, and murmured in a low voice: "You are only one step away from the ultimate truth."

"No," Annan closed his eyes, "I have reached all the truth I can know."
