Star Iron: Cat Renaissance Abundance

Chapter 268 Sunday: Feeling a chill on my back

"How greedy, Mockingbird! Aren't you afraid of the backlash of your power?" The memory robin in the mirror said with interest, "Or do you plan to shoulder your brother's share as well?"

The robin's pupils suddenly contracted. The memory robin knew that he had guessed right when he saw the robin's expression. The memory robin then said with a regretful tone:

"You're so selfish, just like your brother. You and he are the same."

When the robin heard the memory robin say this, he asked directly, "What do you mean?! What do you mean I am the same as my brother?"

"Hey, look, I'm just saying you're just like my brother. Just as selfish, just as self-righteous. You impose your own desires on others. As for why I say that, haha. Because I'm just like you. Look, aren't the choices you make also forced upon you by me? All so you don't have to go down the same path I did."

The Memory Robin and the Harmony Robin said in unison, and the little robin suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap. Yes, why did he have to do what "I" said? Is this really what he wanted to do?

What do I really want? Is it for my brother and I to live a carefree life? Or is it for others to live a carefree life under the umbrella I hold?

"I..." The little robin's face turned pale, and he didn't know how to face his increasingly tangled heart.

"Look, I'm just asking you a question, a question whose answer has long been hidden deep in your heart. What do you want?" The Memory Robin and the Harmony Robin said again.

"Look. You can't even face your own heart, so how can you face others, and how can you bear the entirety of my [Memory] and my [Harmony]? You are too fragile, so fragile that your brother always wants to protect you, even though you want to break free from your brother's wings sooner, just like you broke free from your mother's wings back then."

"It's just that I was forced to do it. After mother passed away, my brother took you under his wing without your consent, and you have been under his protection until now."

"Mockingbird, this position originally belonged to your brother, but he gave it up because of what you said..."

The words of the Memory Robin and the Harmony Robin suddenly became extremely bewitching and tempting, tempting the Robin to slowly walk towards the abyss.

The robin began to doubt himself, wondering if he was really like what I said, hiding under his brother's wings like a canary.

"Mockingbird, stop struggling. We are all the same. We can't save our brother, and neither can you. In the end, you can only watch your brother go to the so-called "opposition" of the family, and then the family will defeat your brother. You can only cry privately behind your back, where your family and brother can't see."

"Brother is selfish too. Didn't he always think that you could only live happily under his wings? To the point that you felt that he was overly restricting you. It's so sad. My brother and I are the same."

Memories and the words of the same-sex robin kept repeating in the robin's ears, washing away the little robin's fragile psychological defenses.

"Brother...I...Mother...I..." The little robin burst into tears. His two own words were too realistic and too sharp, but the little robin could not deny that what he said was true.

"Even in this situation, you're still running away, me. Cheer up, okay? You inherited me and everything I have, how can you be so fragile?"

"Brother can protect you for a while, but not forever. Do you truly not know that Brother has been tainted by Tongxie, stained with a color that doesn't belong to Brother? Or do you not know that Brother has been trying to overthrow the family's rule, all for that immature promise you and Brother made in the ruins?"

Yes, I know it all, I have always known it. But I have never wanted to admit it. My brother may know that I know everything about him, but he is also pretending that he doesn't know, that he doesn't know that his sister knows everything about him.

"How selfish..." the little robin murmured to himself in a very low voice, his head slightly lowered. His small body looked somewhat lonely and helpless at the moment.

"Really? Can you really be so cruel as to watch your dear brother step by step go against the family? When he was in the most difficult moment and needed you the most, you could only look at his lonely back from afar, retreat sadly, and then silently comfort yourself in your heart?" The little robin seemed to be questioning himself, and his words were full of pain and entanglement.

At this moment, the Memory Robin and the Harmonious Robin actually imitated Sunday's tone in unison: "For the safety of the robins, my little sacrifice is nothing and is completely worth it." The voices of the Memory Robin and the Harmonious Robin echoed in the air, like a sharp sword, piercing deep into the little robin's heart.

"No, that's not the case!" The little robin suddenly raised his head, his eyes firm and resolute, and loudly retorted. The robin instantly became excited and could no longer suppress his inner anger and dissatisfaction.

The little robin clenched her fists tightly, and she didn't even notice that a thick layer of ice crystals had formed on her fists. These ice crystals shone with a cold light, as if symbolizing the little robin's heart burning with anger.

Then, without hesitation, the little robin raised his fist and smashed it hard against the mirror in front of him. With a loud "bang", the mirror shattered and countless pieces scattered all over the ground.

Yet, surprisingly, despite the shattered mirrors, the images of the Memory Robin and the Harmony Robin persisted. Instead, they remained vividly visible on the remaining mirrors, ghostlike figures. Furthermore, they extended phantom hands, gently caressing the areas where the robin had broken, their faces sporting an elusive, profound smile.

"Very good, you see, I told you that the little robin would not follow in our footsteps." The Memory Robin said to the Harmonious Robin.

The robin also said, "Yes, I believe her."

Memory and Harmony Robin said to the little robin in unison, "Robin, stop running away. Next time you encounter something like this, punch him in the face. Let him know that he is not to be trifled with. If you hadn't taken action just now, we would have really considered taking back the power we gave you."

The little robin looked at himself smiling in the mirror and felt a little confused. It turned out that he had just lied to himself.

"I'm not kidding," said the Memory Robin. "If you don't stop your selfish brother, he'll really turn against the family. Then you'll have no choice but to cry at his back."

"But brother..." The little robin wanted to say something, but the self in the mirror shook his head and said:

"There's no but. What my brother did was wrong. His intentions were good, but the process was wrong. Now it's up to me. I believe in myself, Mockingbird."

After Memory finished talking to the Harmonious Robin, the entire illusion began to shatter and everything became unreal. When the Robin woke up, he found that he had returned to reality.
