I impersonated God in America

After these words were spoken, there was a sudden silence at the dining table for half a second.

Anna's voice rang out softly.

"That's good. Remember to come back every day."

Nourishing.

Xu Ge suddenly felt a strange sensation, but when he turned his head, the girl's smile was still bright.

"it is good."

----------------

The next morning.

"Be careful on the road."

Xu Ge slung his backpack over his shoulder, took a few steps, and then turned back.

Anna was leaning against the second-floor window, waving at him.

Xu Ge waved to her, and his mood immediately improved. He turned and walked away along the street.

Does Anna go to school this late every day?

The sunlight fell on me.

He walked past the familiar bakery and looked at the olive grove in the distance; everything felt so familiar and comforting.

After school, he went home.

Anna's mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Anna remained at the table doing her homework.

She looked up and smiled at Xu Ge.

"Brother, what are you still doing standing outside?"

Day three.

Fourth day.

Day .

Time is like a film reel that is played on repeat, but Xu Ge never gets tired of it.

He gradually got used to this kind of life and even began to look forward to the end of school more and more.

It's as if all the fatigue will automatically disappear as soon as I return to this house.

Rumble.

Xu Ge had just reached his doorstep when it suddenly started raining.

Raindrops pounded on the eaves, making a dense sound, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

"The rain is so heavy...it's like..."

Xu Ge stood in front of the door, his body suddenly stiffening, and that familiar intuition came again.

A sea of ​​flowers inexplicably flashed through his mind.

A bloodstained shovel was stuck in the center of the turned-up soil.

hiss.

Xu Ge's pupils constricted, and a sharp pain shot through his mind, as if warning him.

His rapid breathing made it hard for him to catch his breath.

What's wrong with me? I've been behaving really strangely lately.

As he sat down to rest, another scene flashed through his mind.

Rumble.

A woman in a luxuriously decorated room is backing away, staring at herself with a look of terror on her face.

[It's that intuitive sense of warning again.]

Xu Ge's pupils suddenly contracted. For some reason, just seeing this woman made him feel a surge of inexplicable anger.

crunch.

"Who?! Who's there?!"

"elder brother?"

Anna stood by the door, her face full of worry, which made Xu Ge freeze in place.

What's wrong with you?

The familiar voice seemed to extinguish the flames of anger, and Xu Ge instantly calmed down.

"Have you been under too much stress lately?"

Xu Ge raised his hand to wipe the raindrops and cold sweat from his face.

"It's nothing, I've probably just been sleeping too much lately."

The mother peeked out from the kitchen.

"Don't stay at the door any longer."

"The pizza is getting cold."

Anna handed him a towel and led him to the dining table.

Xu Ge walked forward like a puppet on a string.

Suddenly, he looked out into the yard and was startled to see a large bunch of cosmos flowers in the rain.

【I……】

Xu Ge suddenly felt a surge of sadness welling up inside him, and his steps faltered.

[No! Something's definitely not right!]

【intuition?】

He was startled, then began to clear his mind and try to grasp that intuition.

So close.

Getting closer and closer.

Boom!

The next moment, it was as if a windowpane had been pierced.

So light.

In an instant, he felt as if his soul had broken free from the constraints of his body.

Xu Ge's breathing gradually became heavy.

Suddenly he felt as if the shackles on his body had been removed.

American basements, calendars marked with red markers...

Memory is like a blocked river; once a crack appears, countless images begin to rush out.

manor.

Bloodstains.

thunderstorm.

Sea of ​​flowers.

Cosmos bipinnatus...

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Xu Ge watched her retreating figure, but this time, he didn't answer immediately.

Instead, he placed a towel over his eyes, as if to cover something.

"Thank you all, I've been so happy during this time."

Anna stopped walking, and the smile on her face slowly faded.

The sounds in the living room stopped instantly.

The television screen froze, and the parents stopped moving abruptly.

After Xu Ge calmed down, he saw Anna standing by the dining table, quietly watching him.

But the smile on the other person's face had disappeared.

“Anna…”

"Why? Isn't it nice here?"

"..."

"Our family can live happily here."

Anna took a step forward, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Isn't it good to just stay in this world like this?"

Xu Ge looked at her, and a voice kept telling him in his mind.

Stay.

This place is so beautiful.

There was no revenge, nor the overwhelming guilt that weighed on him day and night.

He can become a good student in the eyes of the teachers at that school again.

A good child who eats with family.

The good older brother who watched Anna grow up.

This was the life he once had, and the life he lost and never got back.

But is all of this true?

No, this is just giving me an excuse to run away.

Xu Ge remained silent.

Anna reached out and tried to grasp his wrist.

Xu Ge looked into her eyes.

Her expression, tone of voice, and actions were exactly the same as Anna's in his memory.

But the more the memories overlapped, the more complicated Xu Ge's expression became.

"Feel sorry."

The moment those words were spoken, all sound in the room vanished.

"Anna is a silly child who chose to become a model in order to make her family's life better."

"But she's also a child with her own opinions, just like you, right?"

“You shouldn’t stay in this room forever just to put my mind at ease.”

Anna lowered her head, and her body began to become transparent.

"elder brother……"

The world begins to crumble.

The room, the pizza, and the cosmos flowers were all shattered into countless pieces.

"I will definitely bring you back."

Then, she shattered into countless fragments of light.

Everything is vanity.

I don't know how much time passed.

Xu Ge stood in complete darkness, with a stone chair in front of him.
