Chapter 346: The Start Of Yandere
The first real touch in a long time sent a jolt through the girl's tense body.
Following this came the tears she had been holding back.
The pitch-black Xiao Cheng, born from her countless painful memories, continued to whisper softly in her ear, "Cry if you want to. Whenever you need me, I'll be here for you."
The words were plain, almost indifferent, devoid of emotion.
But even this voice, so like her own yet somehow colder, gave the girl a sliver of warmth.
The endless loneliness of this pure white space seemed to dissipate at that moment.
Her sobs gradually softened, fading into whimpers, then finally stopped.
Exhausted from crying, the girl fell asleep in pitch-black Xiao Cheng's arms.
Pitch-black Xiao Cheng adjusted her posture, letting the girl rest her head on her knees, and sat upright, quietly watching the white expanse in the distance and the fragments of memory floating in the air.
A hint of curiosity flickered in her eyes, a yearning for new experiences.
The little ball of light watched this somewhat heartwarming scene in silence.
Each time the girl was resurrected and reborn, her body would return to its optimal state.
She never tired physically.
But the mental exhaustion had left her increasingly numb.
After so long, this was the first time she had slept in this pure white space.
Perhaps she had found a little motivation to keep going, but if she still couldn't find a solution, what then?
If things continued like this, she would make no progress.
She couldn't save Su Tao, and she would be torn apart little by little in this endless cycle, her spirit collapsing more and more completely.
After an unknown amount of time, the girl woke up and saw her exact double. At first, she was startled.
After the little ball of light explained, she curiously touched pitch-black Xiao Cheng's face, marveling.
Her interest in this new being added a touch of color to her eyes. "You really look exactly like me. But you're wearing all black, so I'll call you Xiao Hei. Thank you for being here with me."
The bright smile brought a hint of confusion to Xiao Hei's eyes, but she nodded in acceptance of the name.
In the days that followed, the girl seemed to figure out Xiao Hei's patterns.
She answered every question, could talk about anything, and only understood things that were once in those memory fragments. She was like a cute and exquisite doll.
The little ball of light explained, "She is meant to accompany you, or rather, she is a phantom formed from your negative emotions. She has no life force, her emotions are nearly zero. I considered that if she was just a simple doll, she might not be able to relieve your stress."
"So I gave her a little bit of self-awareness, an awareness centered around you."
After hearing the explanation, the girl understood what Xiao Hei was: just an illusion, identical to her, there to talk to her.
Even so, she felt much better with someone by her side.
One of the things people fear most is loneliness.
And the little ball of light's emotions would inevitably dull, unable to provide the emotional value the girl wanted.
This illusion, who obeyed her in every way, could be confided in, and she would listen patiently and respond in a positive way.
The girl took a deep breath and waved at Xiao Hei behind her. "I'm going to save Tao Tao. Xiao Hei, wait for me to come back."
Talking to herself was like looking in a mirror. It was still a little strange.
Perhaps because she had cried and vented, her mood was much better. This time, she didn't rush to pull Su Tao away from Ye Liang. She knew that the world's will would affect the girl. She set a small goal for herself.
First, to make the girl feel something other than annoyance toward her.
Because of this change in her goal, an accident occurred.
It was another December 25th. The girl knew that today was the day of her death. After finding out where Su Tao was, she went to see her, intending to see her one last time before she died.
Based on Su Tao's movements, the girl waited in advance.
She met the girl as she wished.
Then her time came.
On the building above, a steel bar hung precariously.
With a "thud," it pierced the girl from top to bottom.
But strangely, the girl smiled at this sudden death.
The frozen smile was faintly twisted, almost excited.
And in those gradually fading pupils, she saw another girl's panicked and anxious face.
Inside the usual pure white space, the girl exclaimed excitedly the moment she woke up, "I have a way, I have a way! Tao Tao does care about me after all, hahahahaha!"
She wasn't crazy, and she looked excitedly at Xiao Hei. "Xiao Hei, you know what? This is the first time I've died in front of Tao Tao, the first time she's watched me die."
"She looked panicked and shouted at me to get out of the way, even wanting to push me away."
"She does care about me. She does care about me in her heart!"
"It's just because of Ye Liang, because of the will of the world, that her feelings for me have faded, hahahahahaha!"
Like a player who had been stuck on a level for a long time finding a way to break through.
The girl jumped up and down excitedly.
Fifty or sixty times before, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how she tried to get Su Tao to look at her, the girl was indifferent.
But now, wasn't the key to breaking the game right here?
The girl excitedly stepped into the door, starting the next cycle.
Then, the moment it began, when Su Tao was still saying "Can you be a little more sensible," the girl immediately took out the small fruit knife she carried for self-defense.
A hint of excitement and strangeness appeared on her face.
She aimed it at her arm.
"Shhk--"
As blood splattered, she clearly saw the girl's original annoyed expression turn to confusion, bewilderment, and then instinctive concern and panic.
Su Tao grabbed the girl's hand, demanding to know why she did that. While pressing down on the wound, she tore off a corner of her skirt without saying a word, wanting to tie it tightly to stop the bleeding.
Su Tao's voice was stern, but in the girl's ears, there was more care and concern than anything else.
Even though Su Tao changed her attitude a little because of Ye Liang's interference, the concern in her eyes was still there.
Su Tao disobeyed Ye Liang for the first time, snatched the knife from Chi Xiao Cheng's hand, and ran with her in her arms to the nearest hospital.
At that moment, the girl's expression was full of satisfaction.
How long had it been since Tao Tao held her?
Four months.
Many, many four months.
This feeling was really great.
Yes, as long as she could keep this going, as long as she could make this moment last forever, no matter how many times she died, no matter how much it hurt, she was willing!
The girl's pair of strange vertical pupils were gradually tinged with an eerie, bloody red.
