Chapter 88 7. Love and Death

After passing this three-way intersection, the two continued to walk on Linyin Road, and Rinko whispered: Those two people died in such a lonely place. Hisaki immediately knew she was talking about Takero Arishima and Akiko Hatano. In the villa so close to the inside, Rinko thought of the sloping larch forest in the rain that she saw during the day, it must be very cold! Walking on the quiet night road, Rinko began to think about Wulang and Qiuzi's death for love. Seeing another light in the depths of the forest, Rinko asked: Was that villa originally his? Hisaki read the report about the death of Takero Arishima when he checked the history of the Showa era, and he somewhat remembered it.

It belonged to his father and he inherited it. No one used it when they went there, right? His wife has died of illness, and his child is still young. When he doesn't go there, it's empty. Headlights appeared ahead, and after a car passed by, Rinko asked again: Was it early July when he died? The body was found on July 6th, probably a month earlier, on June 9th. How do you know it's that day? Qiuzi went to work on the 8th, and on the 9th, someone saw them walking towards the villa at Karuizawa Station. walking? There should be cars, but someone was walking when they saw them.

It's four or five kilometers there, right? It took almost an hour to walk that distance. Did they stay in the villa for two or three days? No one knows the details, only that when he died, it was as if a rope was tied to the beam of the door, and a chair was placed under it. They stood on the chair, put the rope on it, and then kicked the chair away. very scary Rinko hugged Jiumu tightly, let go timidly after a while, and said in a low voice: But, their willpower is amazing! Willpower? Look at them walking for an hour to the villa, then tying the ropes, setting up the chairs, and then stepping on them to hang themselves, all for the sake of death.

Rinko believes that suicide requires amazing willpower, and Hisaki feels the same way.Not to mention the time when you are suffering from illness, when you are in good health, to kill yourself really requires considerable concentration and a strong desire for death. But why do they have to die?Rinko muttered to the night sky, why must she die? Rinko's voice was sucked away by the larch forest at night. There is no reason to die! Indeed, Takero Arishima was a big celebrity in the literary world at the time, and Akiko Hatano was thirty years old, and she was said to be as beautiful as a movie star.The two are a couple that everyone envies, and they are in the most splendid and prosperous period of life. Why should they choose the road of death?

There is only one thing that makes them different from others. which point? They were both at the pinnacle of happiness then. Hisaki remembered a passage in Takero's suicide note. He clearly wrote in his suicide note: At this moment, I am facing death at the peak of joy. Rinko stopped suddenly and stared at a point in the darkness. Did you die because of happiness? It looks like this from the suicide note. After the rain, a little wind picked up, and we walked through the larch forest. Yeah?He died because of happiness. Rinko started walking again. Maybe they feel too happy but afraid.

I understand that feeling, indeed, when I am too happy, I worry about whether this happiness will last for a long time. They probably want happiness to last forever. What should we do at that time?Rinko whispered to the darkness, nodded alone and said: Only die! When they got back to the villa, they drank some brandy again, but the conversation they had just walked all the way back still remained in their minds. Linzi leaned forward slightly and looked at the fire, then nodded and murmured: Yes, I have to die! Jiu Mu also has no intention of singing the opposite tune. The more he hopes that the peak of happiness will last forever, the more he feels that he has no choice but to die. Although it is terrible, it also seems to be true.

It's almost time to rest. If you think about it any longer, you will be on the verge of death.Jiu Mu took a shower first, and after Rinko walked into the bathroom, he went back to the upstairs bedroom first. This morning I was still playing a long love game while listening to the rain in this room, but at this time the sound of the rain was gone, and there was silence in the darkness. He didn't turn on the light, just lay on the bed, Rinko in silk pajamas opened the door and walked in.She stood at the door and hesitated for a while, and then quietly touched the bed from the side of the bed. Jiumu hugged her, and she pressed against Jiumu's chest, murmuring:

Only to die! It sounds like confirming what you've been talking about just now, but also like saying it to yourself. In order to maintain happiness forever, only do so. There are many kinds of happiness. love forever like them, never change He understands Rinko's feelings, but it seems hypocritical to swear to never change. Do you think it is impossible for two people to be together forever? It's not impossible. People will encounter many situations in life, and it's hard to say what is absolute. You mean it's impossible!It's impossible as long as you're alive!

Rinko's voice pierced into the darkness of the night. Suddenly there was a bird singing in the distance.In the middle of the night, are there any birds awake?Or are other animals calling?Jiu Mu followed the direction of the voice, but heard Rinko muttering: I understand that person's mood. who? Rinko slowly lay down on her back: Abe Sada! When I went to Shuzenji to stay overnight last time, I talked about Abe Sada's killing of Kizang. At that time, Abe Jo said that he didn't want to give up his most beloved person to anyone, so he killed him. In fact, if they continued to live like this, Ji Zang would return to his wife in the end.I don't want to give up the happiness of being deeply in love at this moment, there is no other way but to kill him.

Indeed, killing him would end his life, and there would be no more betrayal. A lover who loves to the extreme will kill. Jiu Mu understood Rinko's feelings almost like a heartache. Love is terrible. Rinko seemed to be finally beginning to realize this. If you like the other person, you want to dominate the other party, but it is difficult to completely dominate the other party just by living together or getting married. It's just that, if he wants to betray, he can really betray. In order to prevent this from happening, maybe he can only be killed. Love love love love to the end, there is only destruction.

Only now did Rinko realize that love, a word that sounds comfortable, actually hides a poison that is so selfish that it can destroy everything.
