Chapter 5 — Hi Hi's Lie

I didn't move. I was a street away, quietly looking at her. Looking at the person who ruined my childhood, also ruined my life. She has no hatred. There's also no love. Only numbness remains. Like a puppet with all its parts stripped out. At this time, the green light lights up. The line of cars started moving. A bus passed between us. Blocking my sight. Wait for the car to pass. The other side of the street was empty. Tran Nguyet has disappeared. Just like ten years ago, Aunt Vuong disappeared among the crowd at the amusement park. Quiet down. No trace. Luu's mother held my hand. "Tinh Than? What are you thinking?" I regained my composure and smiled at her. The sunlight was bright. "Nothing." "Mom, let's go home." We turned around and walked towards the house. I don't look back. Everything in the past no longer concerns me. My future is bright and open. Written by myself. Just occasionally, late at night, it's quiet. I will put my hand on my chest. There will still be dull pain there. The six-year-old girl was abandoned at that amusement park. Actually, it's always there. The girl never really left. The little girl hid deepest in my body, coldly looking at this world. In my head, that cold electronic voice seemed to echo again. 【Beginner mission completed.】 【The system is about to enter hibernation.】 【Looking forward to your next… lie.】
