Cloud Thinking

"I'm worried that the Lord God doesn't trust me and may have a backup plan. You have to be more careful to prevent Him from causing trouble again." Helia reminded again.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Even if Helia didn't say it, Tang Yaoxing would still take it to heart.

After all, the Lord God's hatred is on him, not on Helia. If anything is to be done, it will be directed at him.

Helia had no questions to ask, at least not right now.

"Well, see you next time."

"I hope we can still be allies next time we meet."

"Are you so worried about yourself?" Tang Yaoxing asked with a smile.

"The only thing I'm worried about is the interest relationship between us." Helia replied, "After all, you are too unreliable, fellow."

"You can't be sure that one day I will sell you out to protect myself, so you have to be mentally prepared~"

Tang Yaoxing didn't say anything, just waved his hand and sent the person away.

Helia returned to reality and looked out the window. The sunlight was still bright, and even the three words "Tang Yaoxing" written on the paper were just drying up.

It seems that the passage of time on both sides is not the same. She noticed it last time, and this time she is even more certain.

Is this something special about Tang Yaoxing’s field?

Speaking of the field, Helia's expression was a little complicated.

Her domain was destroyed eight hundred years ago. Later, after she left the tower, Watersiser helped her repair it in the name of reward.

She never had the chance to use it until she returned to college to continue her studies and Mobichues asked her out of concern, and she remembered it.

But when she took the teacher in to check, she found that there were some extra...

Someone who shouldn't be there.

Her domain was still the Red Rose Garden, which was created based on the quality of her soul, and Watersise did not make any changes on her own initiative.

However, there were a few more people in the garden who didn’t belong here.

Five children and two adults.

Seeing Helia, the children who were playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" happily broke up, ran over with their little legs, hugged and jumped around her.

Warm breath, soft and warm skin, cheeks flushed from running and jumping, and... bright and lively eyes.

Helia glanced at each of their faces in disbelief. They were so familiar, yet so strange.

She felt familiar with them because she had been dreaming about them for a while, but in her dreams, she saw them lying motionless in a pool of blood.

They felt strange because she hadn't seen them for a long time and would never be able to see their vivid faces again.

They were the five children who were brutally murdered in the orphanage by the mad tiger that had awakened its self-awareness.

She still remembered the girl who was holding her waist tightly at that moment. Her name was Asini.

The other one who stood aside and just looked at her and smiled was called Fanny.

Not far away, looking at the children with a gratified and doting smile was the orphanage's cook, Demary.

They stood right in front of him alive, as if the tragedy had never happened.

How is this going……

"Little princess, they are..." Mobichues glanced puzzledly at the children who were chirping and jumping like little birds, then looked at her.

"Teacher... I don't know what's going on..." Helia was also confused and at a loss as to what to do with the current scene.

"Aya?" A voice that was not familiar but not unfamiliar sounded behind her, and the seventh person who was out of her sight slowly walked into her sight.

It was Turhey, the blonde, blue-eyed version, and you could tell at a glance that he and she were from the same family.

He was holding a pair of delicate golden scissors in one hand and a few flowers that must have been just cut in the other, and was walking towards her with a smile on his face.

"Turhei...?" Helia was completely stunned.

It was not until Turhei smiled and pinned the thornless flower to her ear that the feeling of the hard object against her skin brought her back to her senses.

"Who is this...?" Without waiting for Helia to ask, Turhei looked at Mobicius like the host and asked.

"He is my teacher, Mobicius." Helia introduced Mobicius without thinking.

Then she pointed at Turhei and introduced him to Mobicius: "This is Turhei, my uncle..."

After saying this, she was stunned, and Mobicius was also stunned. Only Turhei was still smiling easily, as if he didn't think there was any problem.

The scene was as if she was bringing her guests home.

She couldn't explain what was wrong with her, but for some unknown reason, when she saw Turhei, she automatically treated him as her relative, her elder, and her uncle.

???

No, what the hell is going on? Am I awake or am I still asleep?

"So you are Aya's teacher. Hello, I hope our Aya has not caused you any trouble?" Turhei greeted with a smile.

Mobicius didn't know how to respond to this, so he looked at Helia, blinking his small eyes that already had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and spoke a lot like a telegram.

"Um, well, today is not a good time to meet. Let's meet next time."

Helia used the strategy of running away if she couldn't handle it, and directly pulled Mobichues out of the field.

"Who are they? How could someone appear in your realm? No, no, are they living in your realm?"

Mobichues repeatedly stroked his smooth, shiny head while thinking, mumbling out questions one after another that Helia couldn't answer.

Helia had realized by now that this should be something that Watersise had done on his own initiative. No wonder his tone was a little strange when he said he had repaired her domain.

It was one thing for her to know it, but it was another to explain it to Mobichues.

She couldn't tell him the secret of her life, nor could she tell him that there was a god living in her body, a fallen god of war.

It was even more impossible to tell the other party that he and her were still nominally father and daughter.

Even if the old man Mobichues had some guesses about his abnormality, guesses were just guesses after all and could not be confirmed by her.

She could make up a story about the dual domains, saying that she was kidnapped as a child which caused her mental disorder, and out of self-protection, she seemed to have split into another personality, so there were two completely different domains.

But how to edit this?

She couldn't even ask Watersiser what was going on now!

"Little Princess, if I remember correctly, the current royal family only has the lineage of His Majesty Claude, right?"

What Mobichuis cared about more was the blond, blue-eyed Turhei.

This is a royal feature indeed!

And if you look closely, you can find some similarities between his eyebrows and his eyes and those of Helia.

And Helia herself said that he was her uncle.

But the problem is, none of Helia's uncles are alive! They were all slaughtered by Claude himself!

Then…then the people in this area are dead?

By analogy, those children might also be dead... ?

The dead child... Mobichues' little brain worked quickly and he soon thought of something.

"Those children, could it be..."

He looked at Helia with a complicated expression, his eyes showing shock, sadness, sympathy, and reluctance.

Helia looked into her teacher's eyes, and a lie naturally came into her mind.

She frowned, lowered her head sadly, and said in a muffled voice: "Teacher, those children are the ones who died because of me, the children in the orphanage..."

She slowly told Mobichues about the nightmarish experience she had at the Duru Orphanage.

"Perhaps it's because I really, really miss them too much, and feel too sorry for them, that's why my domain...is like this..."

Helia couldn't help but pick at the flesh on her palm, using the pain to barely suppress the guilt and sadness that was surging up in her.

Mobichues looked at her like this and didn't say much. He just put his hand on her shoulder and patted her gently to comfort her.

He wasn't very good at comforting people, nor was he good at being sentimental. He could only accompany her silently and wait for Helia to sort things out herself.

His little disciple, who was so young, had to carry so many things on her back for some reason, making it increasingly difficult for her to move forward...

She was clearly in her prime years, and should have been the freest and most unrestrained, so why did she have to go through so much sorrow and separation?

As a teacher, all he could do was to try his best to help her lighten the burden a little, so that her steps could be lighter and she wouldn't be tripped up or held back by the past.

Seeing that Helia had almost calmed down, Mobichues slowly spoke: "This is the first time I've seen people living in this area."

"But don't worry. As long as I am still alive, I will find a way to help you find the cause and solution. Don't be afraid."

"Also, I didn't want to be so long-winded, but... for your sake, as a teacher, I have to say it."

"Helia, you have a bright future ahead of you. The future holds endless possibilities. Don't confine yourself to the past. It's meaningless."

"Just keep moving forward and don't look back."

"For yourself and for those lost souls, you should live well and live out your life. Do you understand?"

Mobichues, a straightforward and hot-tempered guy, suddenly said so many sensational words that even Helia couldn't hold it back and wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

"Teacher...if someone else had said these words to me, I might have listened to them a little more..." Helia said with a flat mouth, "But when I saw it was you, I don't know why I just wanted to laugh..."

"You!" Mobichuys was about to scold the little bastard, but when he saw that the little bastard's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry, he held back.

Forget it. This kid has suffered too much, so she likes to relax here with him. It doesn't matter anyway, so just let her be.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Helia was indulged in lawlessness.

That night, Helia broke into Watersise's territory to resolve the matter face to face with Him.

He was pruning branches at the moment, and this figure seemed familiar to Helia inexplicably.

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Watersise put the cut branches in a golden bucket beside him, waiting to put them in a vase later.

He is also good at flower arrangement.

"Um, Father God, my domain..." Helia's prepared speech got stuck in her throat for some unknown reason. She didn't know if it was because of nervousness or something else.

She stared closely at the way Watersiser pinched the flower branch and examined it, and finally realized where the familiar feeling came from.

Turhei in her territory also seems to like pruning flower branches, and today he gave her some pruned roses.

She guessed three-quarters of the way there, but was still unsure, so she continued to ask, "Did you bring those people out?"

Watersiser just glanced up at her and then went back to fiddling with his flowers.

"You just found out?"

Helia was inexplicably blocked by these four simple words. For a moment, she didn't know whether Watersiser was angry that she didn't take what he said to heart, or he was just stating the facts.

"The field has never been useful. I was so busy that I forgot about it..." Helia finally chose to explain.

"I was indeed the one who brought those people here." Wattsise glanced at her again and continued, "You probably don't remember that you had nightmares for several nights in the tower."

"Although I was suppressed and fell into a deep sleep, my consciousness is still clear. I empathize with you and naturally know your situation."

"After you were awakened, you kept covering your face and saying sorry, and you cried for half the night."

"Or he doesn't sleep, but sits there in a daze, with a blank look in his eyes like a dead person, somewhat similar to how you looked when you were six years old..."

"I...I was worried about you, so I thought if they could stay with you, maybe they could help you, help you relieve some of your guilt, some of your shame and self-blame."

"I hope you can cheer up and stop dwelling on past mistakes and delaying your present life."

It's chicken soup! We are saved!

Helia pursed her lips and lowered her head at the right time to hide the uncontrollable sadness in her eyes.

"Thank you..." she muttered.

Watersiser stared at her for a long time before he picked out the fullest and most gorgeous rose from the golden bucket at hand, slowly walked to her side, pinched off most of the flower stem, and put the branch into Helia's breast pocket.

"Cheer up." He gently held Helia in his arms, patted her back, and let go after comforting her.

"Then...then...Father God, they shouldn't be souls that remain in this world because of their obsessions..." Helia asked carefully.

That's what she was worried about.

Watersise never informed her before doing anything, so she was very worried. Could it be that this guy was forcibly detaining the souls of those children in this world and stuffing them into her domain?

If this is true, she would not be able to atone for her crime even if she committed suicide.

"Of course not. Their souls have long since returned to heaven." Watersiser replied, "They are just shadows that I pieced together based on your memory and combined with some other people's shadows."

"It's just a phantom that exists in your realm."

"But, but I can clearly touch them...how can they be said to be phantoms..." Helia was puzzled.

"Because they shouldn't exist in this world. They are just projections of the past."

Watersiser touched Helia's head and said again out of concern:

"So, don't indulge in the dreams created for you by these phantoms."

“Don’t dwell on the regrets and pain of the past.”
