Chapter 1587: Chapter 473: What Is Feared (3)
"But... but..."
Seeing the tears in Sakuragi Hitomi’s eyes increasing, Meow quickly interrupted,
"Listen to me, meow!"
"..."
"Haven’t you realized yet, meow, what Yan Huan is truly afraid of?!"
"..."
Meow looked at Sakuragi Hitomi and softly said,
"Resolving the modifier is a responsibility without rewards but with punishments. The reason Yan Huan has persisted until now is that he has assigned a meaning to his efforts that others can hardly imagine.
"At first, this meaning was to protect the beautiful daily life with you.
"It’s just that your sudden exposed flaw made him doubt, doubt that his relationship with you might be unstable, doubt that his persistence became meaningless, so he was that fearful at the time.
"But he’s definitely not afraid of you, not unable to accept you, do you understand, meow?"
Meow’s emerald green eyes flickered with Yan Huan’s blurred silhouette, just like the hesitation he saw before.
"Now, for Yan Huan, this fear is the same, meow!
"He’s afraid, despite all his efforts and hard work, despite having resolved the modifier, he might still lose you, whom he sees as meaningful in the end.
"That’s why he’s come to this step now..."
"He’s just as afraid of losing you as he was back then, afraid of ending up with nothing, meow!"
...
...
"Buzz..."
At this moment, Yan Huan stood alone on the enormous palm.
His body trembled slightly, enduring the painful searing of desire, gently lowering his head.
"Ding... ding..."
In front, the giant index finger slightly bent.
Above, the engraved words were being burned bit by bit.
[Index Finger Ritual:]
[Eliminate the deepest fear]
[Recall the despair that surged in your heart when you discovered Sakuragi Hitomi’s true nature]
[Now, once again, you’re at the crossroads of fate, facing the same fear]
[Go, destroy its symbol]
[Ritual Content:]
[1. Personally destroy the original camera that Sakuragi Hitomi still retains, which is placed on the bookshelf in her bedroom]
[2. Refrain from communication with Sakuragi Hitomi until all rituals are complete]
[Reward: 6 Crab Coins]
[Note: When performing the ritual, the host corresponding to the finger may receive vague perceptions about the content of the ritual]
"Beep..."
But at this moment, Yan Huan didn’t look at the huge index finger, just gazed at the projection of the Barrier in front of him.
He left a Barrier in Sakuragi Hitomi’s bedroom.
So, he could now see Sakuragi Hitomi staring blankly at the box in her hands, silently shedding tears.
"..."
Seeing this, Yan Huan closed his eyes and silently turned off the Barrier’s projection.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura swirled around the surrounding palm.
Clearly, even though he was prepared for the ill intentions of these rituals, seeing the girl’s tearful face, possibly misunderstanding his intentions, his mind was still shaken.
"Buzz..."
Yan Huan covered his face, his breathing growing heavier.
On his body, the scorching desire felt like an unshakeable infection.
Making him increasingly agitated...
"Xiao Huan..."
And behind him, Ye Shiyu seemed to know Yan Huan had returned and opened the door to re-enter the Barrier.
Looking at Yan Huan’s back, she softly called out.
As the former host of the index finger, she naturally had some perception of the ritual’s content, and seemed to have anticipated the possible consequences of completing the task...
That’s why earlier, she proactively asked Xiao Huan to give her the modifier to help Yan Huan relieve pressure and reduce misunderstandings as much as possible.
But...
"..."
Upon hearing Ye Shiyu’s call from behind, Yan Huan’s body trembled slightly.
Then, he didn’t turn around, just softly asked,
"Sister Shiyu, do you think... in the end... will I have nothing?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu’s expression involuntarily cracked slightly.
And beneath that breaking expression was a steadfast determination...
Just like now, in the bedroom, having listened to all of Meow’s words, Sakuragi Hitomi.
In the Barrier, Ye Shiyu clenched her fist and walked step by step toward Yan Huan.
In the bedroom, Sakuragi Hitomi wiped away her tears and fully put down the box in her hands.
In the next second...
Ye Shiyu tightly embraced Yan Huan, allowing his hands to uncontrollably grip her body
In the next second...
Sakuragi Hitomi pursed her lips and turned her head to look at Meow.
Almost simultaneously, they softly spoke to the presence before them,
"No... you won’t have nothing...
"No matter what, I’m here."
