I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Yes, Tono Makihisa is in a tangle.

If it were him in the past, in his prime and decisive in killing, he would definitely not be entangled. Either use the ability to brainwash Kohaku and turn her into a real doll (Makihisa has this ability, and Shiki's memory was tampered with by him). Either kill Amber directly and avoid future troubles forever. After all, Kohaku is still too young and has no fighting ability. It would be easy for Makiji to deal with her.

But it's different now. He was weakened, no longer strong in body or mind.

Someone has said that when people get old, they will start to recall the past, especially the mistakes of the past, and will look down on many things and let go of the past attachments. Although Makiku was not fifty years old, he had a similar mentality. For ambition, to keep his family, and to gain status, he betrayed, killed indiscriminately, and hurt many people. His hands were already stained with blood.

Do you regret it?

No, if he had to do it again, he would still do it.

Because of the existence of extraordinary power, the mysterious world is more naked than the secular world, where the weak and the strong prey on each other, and the hierarchy is strict. In Japan, due to various reasons such as geography and history, the situation is even more serious than in Western societies.

Living in such a world, in such a dangerous family, if you don't want to be knocked down, you can only try your best to climb up until you become a behemoth that no one can easily shake.

Makihisa did it.

He led the Tono family to become the leader of the "mixed-blood" line, a giant in Japan's mysterious world, and the manager of the Tokyo area.

He became the best head of the long-established Tono family.

Therefore, he will not regret it.

However, although he does not regret it, he still feels a little guilty for the people he hurts. As time goes by, this guilt becomes deeper and heavier. Even though he is mixed with the blood of "demon", he still feels guilty after all. Human nature has never been eliminated, which is why Chengzi finally decided to take action.

This puppet master who aspires to become a "fairy" and has entered the soul realm and embarks on the road to immortality loves the most the flash of humanity, that is, the brilliance of the soul. Everything she did was for this glory.

Makijiu, who has been walking in the darkness all his life, did not disappoint Chengzi in the end.

After secretly observing his daughter and the Amber Jade sisters and confirming the feelings between the three, Makihisa made a decision.

He was dying and didn't have much time left. But these children are still young. They should have a better and brighter future. They should not be ruined by their own darkness and mistakes. Just use your life that is about to burn out to do something for these children. , considered a trivial atonement.

That day, Maki left his hospital bed for the first time in a long time and called his family, tribesmen and servants to hold a banquet. After the banquet, he entertained Cheng Zi alone, and the two drank until late. No one knew what they talked about.

Then, Makijiu called Kohaku to his room, just like when the nightmare started on the night of his eighth birthday.

The difference was that Makiku did what he did to Kohaku again, just made her sit down, and then knelt on the ground with a "pop". He began to tell his past, without embellishment or shirk, just telling it truthfully in an old and trembling voice.

After saying all this, he laid his body on the ground. It was not to ask Amber for forgiveness, but to hope that Amber would focus all her hatred on herself. Whether it was killing, cutting, or torture, Makijiu was willing to bear it, but he just didn't want her to vent her anger on Qiuye. Because Qiuye treats Amber sincerely and treats Amber as a family member. In order to protect Kohaku from being harmed again, Qiuye named her as his personal maid.

Amber sat blankly on the chair, without the smile that imitated her sister, her eyes were dull, as if she had become the doll she once was.

She just sat there, silently, motionless.

Makijiu just knelt and waited, motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, Amber stood up and walked towards the door without saying a word. In the end, she did nothing.

A second before Kohaku was about to walk out of the room, Makijiu stopped her. Kohaku turned around numbly, and then she saw Makiku lying on the ground in a weird posture.

His right hand passed through his left chest, with fragments of his heart still in his hand - he committed suicide.

When he was dying, he expressed his last prayer: "Don't vent your anger on Qiuye, let alone let the fire of hatred get out of control and eventually affect his sister Jade. Leave a place for yourself and everyone."

He just fell to the ground and looked at Amber, looking at the girl who was sent to hell by his own hands.

Watching, watching...I didn't close my eyes until I died.

There was another long silence, dead silence.

Kohaku suddenly let out a shrill scream, and then punched and kicked Maki's body like crazy.

The blood wet her clothes, her hands, feet, face and pink hair. She was like a vengeful female ghost, constantly venting her hatred towards her enemies until nightfall. His physical strength was exhausted, and he fell into a pool of blood together with Makijiu, who had long since lost his human form.

A long sigh sounded, and the partition door of Makijiu's bedroom was opened, revealing two long-haired women, one mature and the other a little immature, none other than Orange and Qiuye.

Orange walked out of the room silently, leaving space to this most innocent girl.

The moment the door closed, she heard suppressed sobs, which were the grief of losing a loved one, and the relief that the poor girl could finally express her heart.

A spark lit up and wisps of smoke filled the air. The puppeteer, who could see the brilliance of his soul, held his beloved "Dragon Smoke" in his mouth and closed his eyes tightly.

She saw the final detachment of the dissipated soul, the chaotic and dirty color gradually faded away, leaving behind the most authentic determination, which was injected into the body around her that had been hurt countless times.

She saw that the soul covered by the fire of hatred had a different kind of coolness. Although it was still very weak compared to the fire of hatred, as long as there was a primer and hope, she would one day find the direction. Lost again.

She saw that the girl with the same characteristics as herself was constantly tortured by the imposed will. Although she endured a lot of suffering, she never forgot her original intention and her true nature, and finally bloomed with a different kind of brilliance.

"It's so beautiful."

The puppeteer with his eyes closed opened the window, letting the morning light shine into the home, dispelling the darkness entrenched here, letting the refreshing air flow through the mansion, taking away the haze that had accumulated for many years.

This ancient family finally got rid of the entanglement of its old business and embarked on a new path.

The sky is bright and clear as glass.

PS: Anyway, the traitor can't understand some of Makijiu's operations. He kills decisively for a lifetime, but in the end he leaves so many hidden dangers. It's a pity that "Tsukihime" is not popular enough, otherwise it would be Tokiomi's turn to take the blame?

PS2: Come, say it to me - everything is Maki's fault.
