Regrets of a Reincarnator [3]

The atmosphere of the room became silent, Yu Jian only seemed to be looking downwards with his father crossing his hands on his chest while waiting for his son's response. The mother only sighed while alternately staring at the two.

“When did you run away from your past? You're 17 now, if you keep putting off solving the problems in your heart, then you won't be able to come back. That bitter feeling will continue to settle in your heart and eventually can never go away. Is that what you want?” father looked at Yu Jian sharply

“But... I don't know if I can do it. Just thinking about it a little bit I felt like I had lost all my energy to stand up.” Yu Jian replied in a weak voice.

Yu Jian's heart was beating even faster. Slowly he began to look again at the memories he was about to forget. There were faint whispers that seemed to surround him over and over again. His gaze slightly began to blacken but instantly all of it disappeared.

“Eat, we talk about this while eating.” The mother added a portion of rice to Yu Jian's bowl. “You also do not urge your son like that, let him determine his own way of life.”

“He is an adult, he should take care of his own life, but that does not mean I will be silent when I see my son lost on the road he is going through. Leaving it like this in a harsh world like this would be dangerous. Just try it he tried to step foot out of this small town, he will definitely die.” while saying that his father devoured a burger in front of him.

In the end the two did not speak to each other again during dinner. As soon as he finished eating the part that belonged to him Yu Jian went to his room to sleep from exhaustion. He laid his head on the bed and began to sleep in his sleep.

The darkness of the night seemed to devour the consciousness of Yu Jian. But a beam of moonlight entered through the crack in the window and woke Yu Jian from his sleep. A figure resembling himself appeared to be sitting on a chair by the window. Yu Jian got up and leaned his body against the wall.

“Dad is right, how long will you keep quiet in a corner like that and hide?” ask that figure.

The system panel suddenly appeared before Yu Jian.

“I'm not sure I can do it.”

“It does need to strengthen the heart first, but is 10 years still not enough for you to escape from those times? Especially in the previous life you've seen some dead people in front of you. What is different from the current one?”

“Surely different, and that difference. Seeing other people die especially people I don't know was probably common to me in my past life. But the story is different from what happened in my life now.” Yu Jian replied.

“Well whatever it is, your decision is unfortunate. You end up living in a world where Qi exists, but in the end you stay away from it. Ironic.” replied the figure while getting up from the chair and turning his back to Yu Jian.

The figure's words were like stabbing a needle into his chest. It had been 10 years since the incident that drove Yu Jian away from the martial world. He was originally very excited when he reincarnated into a martial world that had Qi in it. But now he shunned and hated it to the deepest part of himself.

“What if just do father request? Nothing to lose for us, right? There is a potential that you can recover from all this, even if you do not continue your path as a martial artist at least the thing that hinders it is lost.” suggested the figure.

Chief Yu Jian was instantly filled with all sorts of thoughts. His heart vehemently rejected the proposal but Yu Jian logically realized that he could not continue like this.

“Which I know, I'm not a fortune teller. But trying and failing is better than being silent without knowing the end result, right? At least with that you know your limits.”

Yu Jian did not get the answer he wanted, but obtained the principles he needed to live his new life. He squeezed out the blanket he was using and stared at the figure with a gaze shown by those who were ready to change.

“Will I try to do.” Said Yu Jian.

“Alright then, I'll give you a little service. Now good night, let's meet again later.”

The world became dark. The eyes of Yu Jian who was originally burning because he had determined his life goals immediately became heavy instantly. He entered into a dream full of emptiness, there was only darkness around him. And at the end of the place was a beam of light that seemed to be growing, like it was coming towards Yu Jian.

When he opened his eyes the scene had already begun to change. He stopped his steps. The dark view of the room has turned into the blazing sun, around also a view full of green from the leaves. Yu Jian immediately processed what was going on right now until a system panel suddenly appeared before him.

“Why did you stop? Regret your decision?”

Looking at the white mask and the familiar looking hair in the eyes, it was a mask belonging to Yi Wei. In front of him also saw his teacher Zhang Feng who had come to stop his steps.

“What's Yu Jian? Do you really regret your decision?” master Zhang asked while giving a fad smile.

“Ti-No...” replied Yu Jian after processing the circumstances around him

After saying that Yu Jian continued walking beside Yi Wei. The only thing that Yu Jian was thinking about right now was all of this was his self that had appeared last night. It was an imaginary figure that Yu Jian used to help himself during his traumatic times 10 years ago. From then on the figure was always present whenever Yu Jian was confused to determine the path he wanted to go through.

Yo…

Suddenly he heard a voice from the other man.

It's you? Whisper Yu Jian inwardly.

Of course, I'm trying to help you. I know you're in the stage of unstable adolescence even though you're actually 30 years older when viewed as his age as a whole. So I decided to take control and put you to sleep until we left the house. Fear if I don't take control you'll change your mind as soon as the sun comes up. If the situation is like this you can't escape anymore. Answer the other self.

Well, thank you very much for your wise help. Said Yu Jian while walking.
