Chapter 52: A good night's sleep will solve all problems
The cold wind howled and was biting to the bone.
With Momoko Aso's body as the core, layers of light blue frost began to spread.
"So this is ah."
Hiramiya Chiye nodded thoughtfully, and finally understood the relationship between Aso Momoko and Aso Kakako.
"Why don't you leave? Do you really think I won't hurt you?"
Seeing that Hiramiya Chiye had no intention of leaving, Aso Momoko pretended to be fierce, light blue flames seemed to appear in her eyes, and the light bulb above her head shattered with a bang.
The pieces fell to the ground.
Pinggong Qianye remained unmoved, and instead took a few steps towards her.
"You, don't come over here, I, I'm very powerful!"
Momoko Aso subconsciously took two steps back, but then she thought, why should she be afraid when she is so powerful now?
When facing myself with the power of ghosts and gods, the one who should be afraid is the other person, right?
Thinking of this, she slightly straightened her slightly thin upper body.
Hiramiya Chiye walked closer, almost coming within one step of Aso Momoko.
"you!"
Momoko Aso gritted her teeth and slapped Hiramiya Chiye's chest with her right palm with a layer of light blue power. The blue frost spread instantly and froze Hiramiya Chiye's clothes on his chest.
"You, why don't you hide?"
"I didn't mean to hurt you..."
"What if you die here?"
Momoko Aso stared blankly at Chiye Hiramiya and her right palm, her panicked voice faintly filled with tears.
"..."
Pinggong Qianye looked at her with a complicated expression. No wonder some people say that as long as you are brave enough, female ghosts can take maternity leave.
With his personality, he wouldn't know how to use the power even if he had it.
Any strong adult male could pin her down and abuse her at will. She is too weak.
Pinggong Qianye sighed, stretched out his right palm, placed it on her shoulder, and patted it gently.
Momoko Aso's whole body was like a spring that was stretched and then loosened. In an instant, she lost the strength to tension her whole body and fell down limply.
Pinggong Chiye stretched out his left hand to support her shoulders, and took her to the bed covered with blue bedding to rest.
Even in her sleep, Momoko Aso's brows were tightly furrowed, her body was curled up, her hands were clenched into fists, and there was not a single place on her body that was relaxed.
Pinggong Qianye stood by the bed and watched for a while, then stretched out his right palm and gently placed it on Aso Momoko's head, and his magic power flowed.
"Come out."
With a whisper, he pulled his right palm back, and Aso Momoko's soul was pulled out from above Aso Momoko's head.
"you you……"
Aso Xiangxiangzi was frightened and buried her head in Aso Momoko's chest in panic.
Pinggong Qianye saw her movements and her posture at the moment very clearly.
With his head buried and his butt raised, he is a typical example of someone who only cares about the head and not the butt.
"I think you have to understand the life and death situation she is facing at this moment."
"Peach, will she die?"
After a long time, Aso Xiangxiangzi raised her head slightly and reluctantly met Heimiya Chiye's gaze.
"He will die, in the near future." Pinggong Qianye gave an affirmative answer.
At first he thought that Aso Kakako's existence was because she didn't want to leave, so she forced herself to stay in the world and stay by Aso Momoko's side.
But the truth is, the reason why Aso Momoko has not entered the cycle of reincarnation is because of Aso Momoko's strong obsession.
She used her obsession with her human body to forcefully keep her sister's soul by her side.
This kind of companionship puts a much greater strain on her body than the previous one.
It is equivalent to a part of Aso Momoko's soul, forcibly supporting the existence of both herself and Aso Kaori.
This is not simply 1+1 equals 2.
"Taozi always says I'm stupid, but in fact she is the stupidest person."
Aso Kakako, who knew the whole story, pressed her right cheek against Aso Momoko's left cheek and let out a low moan from her soul.
She had always thought that it was because she was reluctant to leave Taozi that she turned into a soul after her death and stayed with Taozi forever.
Taozi's gradually weakening body was also caused by herself.
Unexpectedly, all this originated from Taozi's obsession. She was so reluctant to leave.
After a long time, Asou Xiangxiangzi raised her head slightly and whispered: "Hiramiya Chiya-san, I know you want to take advantage of Momoko's deep sleep to persuade me, and then I will persuade Momoko."
"In this way, Taozi has untied the knot in her heart, and you have helped me to be reborn into the reincarnation, and everything has returned to normal again."
"This is indeed the best arrangement and what I wish for."
"But." Aso Kakako looked at Aso Momoko, who was still frowning, with gentle eyes, "This kind of future is not what Momoko wants now." Hiramiya Chiye remained silent.
"Taozi has always been very smart. She was willing to do this because she already knew the consequences of doing so. But she still did it."
"This is a choice she made based on her own wishes. As her sister, I will only support her unconditionally."
"It's not a happy ending, but it's a choice Taozi and I made together."
Aso Kakako gently stroked Aso Momoko's cheek, with extreme tenderness and pity in her eyes.
"Twins of destiny, born on the same day and dying on the same day, is not a bad thing."
Faced with such an answer, Pinggong Qianye did not say anything more to persuade him.
The so-called obsession is a hurdle that is difficult to overcome.
The Buddhists say: We are born from obsession and we die from obsession. If you let go of one thought, you will be free.
Compared to the obsession of her younger sister Momoko Aso, the obsession of Kakako Aso is not much less.
They are twins, their minds are connected and there are many magical things between them, which has led to this point.
If she really wanted to change it, Hiramiya Chiya could have forcibly liberated Aso Kakako's soul and sent her into reincarnation.
As for Momoko Asou, when her soul no longer needs to support Asou Kaori's existence, she will gradually recover through proper training.
But if they can't figure it out on their own, it's foreseeable that Momoko Aso will commit some self-destructive behavior.
"Let her have a good sleep first."
Heimiya Chiya asked Aso Kakako to move away from the bed first, while he sat beside the bed and recited the "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva".
This scripture can eliminate karma, dispel worries, and make people have peaceful dreams at night. It is very suitable for Momoko Aso at this moment.
As she recited softly, the scriptures seemed to turn into a gurgling stream, flowing into Momoko Aso's tired and tense body.
His frown gradually relaxed, his body gradually softened, he was no longer tense and on guard, his clenched fists slowly opened, revealing his ten slender fingers.
Even the breathing sound was much more even than before.
Aso Xiangxiangzi, who was floating on the windowsill, was watching the subtle changes in Aso Momoko, and her eyes gradually changed as well.
It has been a long time since I have seen Taozi sleeping in such a peaceful and relaxed posture, right?
After reciting the entire "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" once, Heimiya Chiya left the room while Aso Momoko was sleeping soundly.
When they met Momoko Aso's parents in the living room, Chiya Hiramiya simply told them not to disturb Momoko Aso for the time being, and they only needed to prepare breakfast for her early tomorrow morning.
Humans are very strange creatures. Sometimes, things that are incomprehensible to them can be figured out after a good night's sleep.
There's nothing a good night's sleep can't solve, I guess.
……
The sun rises from the mountains, and the golden light shines through the clouds, dispelling the remaining shadows of the night and spreading to the windowsill little by little.
This was a very ordinary morning.
Momoko Aso woke up in her bed, the smile still on her face from when she slept peacefully last night.
She hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and last night was the best night of rest she had ever had.
His eyes swept across the room, finally landing on the windowsill.
Her sister sat in the shade of the curtains, with her back against the wall, her eyes looking at the world outside the window.
Momoko Aso got up from the bed, walked to the window, and naturally hugged her sister in her arms, feeling a little guilty.
The first thought that came to my mind when I woke up just now was not to find out where my sister was, but to feel that I slept very peacefully and comfortably last night.
"Taozi, do you really think it's a good idea to continue like this?"
"Of course, my sister is always with me. Doesn't she think this is bad?"
"Sister naturally wants to stay with Taozi all the time."
"There are no buts between us."
Momoko Asou interrupted what her sister was about to say, she didn't want to listen.
"Taozi, you unexpectedly slept very well last night."
"..."
Momoko Aso trembled slightly and remained silent.
"Who is lying between us now?" Aso Kakako turned around, raised her head slightly, and reached out to touch Aso Momoko's cheek.
"You've also thought about abandoning your sister and regaining your freedom, right?"
"..."
Momoko Aso felt a little cold and tried to hold her sister tighter in her arms.
"Hey, Momoko, this should all be over." Aso Xiangxiangzi whispered softly: "Although this world is stupid and not worth lingering in, you are always worth it, worth continuing to work hard to live for me."
"Hey, Taozi, let's make a new agreement, okay?"
Momoko Aso never spoke again.
