4404 The Other Side 373
After saying this, the man closed his eyes calmly. Just like the young man and the girl, his body gradually became transparent.
Gong Fan knew that this was a sign that he was about to disappear. It was as if the disappearance of a personality would give rise to stars that would drift into the distance. He wanted to reach out and hold the man's hand, but all he could grab was a handful of thin air.
The boy looked at everything numbly and suddenly understood it all… In ancient times, there was a certain Mencius who once suggested, "A human being always begins life with a good nature." However, Xun Zi believed that a man's life was written in the heavens. All things have their own ways of living, and they each have their own ways of developing themselves."
Since man is born of the heavens, the human relationship is also born of the heavens. A favor born of the heavens is called "ism". And according to Xun Zi human beings are born the way they are. In other words, Xun Zi believed that humans were born evil.
As he grew older, moral education would lead him to abandon his initial evil and selfish side. This girl and young man represented his initial malice. And this man was the sanctioner he had subconsciously formed.
Despite all danger, the man protected him in secret. Moreover, he engaged in a life-and-death battle with the young man in order to erase the last remaining personality that represented evil in his body. All that was left, was a kind personality.
The reason why he chose to disappear was because his hands were stained with blood. He did not want to stay for it would taint the boy's soul. He chose to disappear with all the sins, leaving behind a clean and pure slate.
Youyou watched helplessly as the man turned into specks of light and drifted out of the window into the wind.
He was right. If the boy lived well, that would be proof of the man's existence. Everything was over…
…
Alice stayed by the bed, and saw Youyou, who was lying there, choking a little. A broken sound escaped from his throat.
She leaned over and was puzzled when she saw another tear streak form at the corner of his eye.
"What's the matter?" She could not help but worry. "Why are you crying?" Alice picked up a handkerchief to wipe his tears away. But just as she did so, his tears fell again. She was caught off guard.
Alice was distressed. She patiently wiped his tears and held his hand gently, wishing she could pass all her courage and strength to him through her palm.
"What's the matter?" Romanka, who was not as attentive as her, sat up straight when he saw her wiping the boy's tears.
Alice shook her head blankly. "I don't know what's happened either. He seems to be crying."
"Crying?"
Romanka walked quietly to the bed and looked at the boy worriedly. However, he saw an expression on the boy's face that was calmer and more peaceful than it had ever been.
"I'm so worried. I'm so afraid something has gone wrong."
If she could, Alice would have been willing to enter that world. She did not want the boy and Gong Fan to face it alone. But this was not something she could do. She could only stay by the bed and watch helplessly.
"I believe everything will turn out fine." Romanka comforted her. "Youyou is the strongest and most stubborn child I've ever met."
