Chapter 593 - 175: The Dangerous Yet Blissful Human Cave_3

Doubt.

At this moment, Koki seemed to suddenly know this woman’s name.

It was a very strange feeling.

This woman’s name... was actually "Doubt."

He didn’t even know why he suddenly thought the woman’s name was this.

"You... you are called Doubt?" Koki asked boldly.

The woman was stunned for a moment.

She was somewhat surprised, this intruder was actually so powerful.

Already able to make the "target" feel some reality.

But she didn’t say much.

"I will find you. You interfere too much, my team members will only grow more... and more."

...

...

The dream woke.

Koki opened his eyes, only feeling a bit tired. This dream made him feel something was not quite right.

Doubt.

This word refers to a kind of thinking and questioning about surroundings.

But it became a person’s name.

If Doubt were a real existence, would her form be like a female assassin?

Koki was still too young, unable to figure these things out.

He soon arrived at school.

In school, everyone had become Koki’s friend. Everyone chatted with Koki, sharing interesting things from their lives.

Haruko was there too, and Haruko shared her drawings.

The content of the drawings made Koki blush a little.

The setting sun, on the path by the small pond, a little boy and a little girl holding hands as they walked home together.

Koki suddenly thought, is this a hint?

Clearly... yesterday I did not hold Haruko’s hand. Always felt Haruko was a perfect person.

She’s beautiful, smart, with no flaws. If there were a flaw, maybe it would be... looking down on me?

But that’s not her fault, it’s only because I’m a low-functioning idiot, right?

But am I really?

At this moment, Koki seemed to become the focus of the crowd.

The past mockeries... maybe were just his dreams?

That sense of weariness, that feeling of a long time passing, maybe it was all because of the dream?

In the dream, someone wanted to make him unhappy...

It must be like this.

"Koki, are you happy?" Haruko suddenly smiled.

At the same time, everyone’s eyes turned to Koki.

This scene was actually a bit... strange.

Koki subconsciously wanted to say:

"Happy... I am really very happy."

But suddenly, he seemed to hear a voice.

"Some questions must be answered according to the target, even if you realize the answer is not that, please don’t say it directly..."

"It will be very dangerous, very dangerous."

Koki felt a little dazed.

"Don’t answer! Change the topic! Change the topic!"

A voice seemed to shout desperately in Koki’s mind.

But that voice quickly disappeared.

"Koki, are you happy?"

Haruko took Koki’s hand again, smiling sweetly.

Everyone’s smiles were also so friendly and sweet.

Dozens of such smiles appeared all at once, which should have seemed strange.

But Koki couldn’t tell; he just felt that the moment Haruko held his hand...

His heart was beating very fast, he nodded earnestly:

"I am very happy."

He really felt very happy, very joyful, happiness unreal, as if something long-desired had finally come true.

When he said this... he seemed to hear the sound of a blade piercing flesh.

Something, at this moment, was silently killed.
