Chapter 727 (1/2)
”Sin City?” Mei Ziqing looked at Xiang Mei, with a familiar and strange face. ”I thought you came into contact with the alliance through Selena. Now it seems that I'm wrong. You are the person of the alliance. But you haven't shown any trace for so many years.”
Mei did not deny it.
”Well, did you know my identity long ago?” asked Mei Ziqing.
Mei Tao still didn't deny it.
”When did you know?” she asked again.
”I knew it from the beginning,” said the professor.
Mei Ziqing should have been shocked, but strangely, she is very calm at the moment. Many past events emerge in her mind, one after another, like a movie, and she is just an audience.
”So, your speech in Tokyo revealed the research content about dreams and collective subconsciousness. Did you deliberately tell me? You designed the speech and met me after the speech so that I could follow you to Wuzhong. Since then, I have been a part of your plan. What's your plan?”
”No, I didn't design like that. I was just entrusted,” Mei said.
”Who?”
”Your father.”
”My father?”
”He asked me to put him in the city of sin to redeem his sins.”
Plum green was shocked and looked back at the dark little door on the castle tower behind him.
”You mean my father is in here?”
Mei Tui shook her head and said, ”no, he's not here. He's dead.”
The sudden hope was suddenly dashed, which made Mei Ziqing very depressed and even angry. Her father's death was an eternal knot in her heart. Such a tender and loving father when he was a child, the omnipotent father with heavenly power! No one knows what kind of disaster it was to her after her father left. She watched her mother lose weight in the hospital bed until she died. I watched the house sold out, leaving only a note left by my father.
”How did he die?” she asked.
”It's not important. What's important is that he has made atonement,” Mei said. ”He also asked me to take care of you. He said you were a genius and didn't want you to repeat his path.”
”But you didn't come to me,” said Mei Ziqing.
”Yes, it's my fault,” Mei said. ”I thought you would grow up like an ordinary person. You are beautiful and kind-hearted. The suffering of your childhood will make you stronger. You will be happy in this short and rare years of peace. Until one day, I found you on your father's old road and go farther and farther on this road.”
”So you carefully designed everything later.”
”I want it back.”
”No, you don't want to.” Mei Ziqing said, ”if you want, you won't ignore me at the beginning. Don't say that suffering is the best experience. I'm not a child. Do you hate my father very much? What did he do to make you hate him so much?”
”Everyone is guilty, including me. Everything is over and we still have a lot to do.”
”Really?” Mei Ziqing looked at him bitterly, ”You're dead. I've arranged your face, put your ashes in the grave and covered the earth for you. But I didn't see my father's last face. My mother died in front of me. They dragged her body away. I don't even know where she was buried. They died and disappeared forever, but you're dead and still standing here.”
Mei was silent and smoked hard.
”I want to be like them, but I still have unfinished business.”
”Career? Who doesn't have an unfinished career?” Mei Ziqing pointed to the strange and endless dream in the distance and said, ”look, the small world has formed such a scale. As long as you are willing to hand over the key and open all channels, this is a new world, a new universe, and everyone can live a happy life forever under the new rules.”
Mei Tui shook her head and said, ”it's no use. Even if your method or your father's ambition is realized, it is only a repetition of the original world. Mankind will eventually embark on the old road and never appear the utopian world in your heart.”
”How do you know if you haven't tried?”
”Who says no one has tried?”
Mei Ziqing was surprised: ”what did you say?”
Mei Tao didn't answer, but took a deep smoke.
