Chapter 966 Apology

They ended up in the town's small park.

Mana and Ruisheng each occupied a swing, swinging randomly.

Mizorogi and Ruisheng, one was on the slide and the other was watching from below.

Riko was very happy at first, but gradually, she noticed something wrong with Mizoroki's attitude.

"Uncle? You look very unhappy. Do you have a bad memory?" Riko asked him doubtfully as she lay on the fence on the upper level of the slide.

Mizorogi opened his mouth, and finally said: "I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Riko looked confused and didn't understand why he suddenly apologized.

"Riko, I'm sorry, I was the one who killed your parents." Mizorogi's voice was hoarse.

Riko couldn't realize what he meant at first: "What?"

"The person who killed your parents and turned them into monsters... was me." Mizorogi repeated again: "I'm sorry."

This kind of news made Riko's little mind unable to turn around for a while.

It also brought her back to that night again.

What happened that night? Riko actually doesn’t know too much.

She remembered that she went to the zoo with her parents, and her brother. They had so much fun that day that they didn't go back until very late.

On the way, she and her brother fell asleep in the car. It should have been a dark and sweet dream.

When she woke up, the family was back home and her parents woke them up from the couch and took them to dinner.

But the food on the plate on the dining table was a neatly chipped piece of wood.

The log was split into two semi-circular columns, which were clean and seemed to have no wooden thorns. Then their parents smiled strangely and told them that this was their dinner.

The two children didn't understand what was happening, but a sense of fear arose spontaneously. It was obviously a familiar face, but the parents seemed to have changed people at that time, like the wolf grandma pretending to be a grandma in the fairy tale...

Their fear was met with the wrath of their "parents", who turned into monsters and began forcing their two children to eat wood.

Riko almost forgot how they escaped. It seemed like a group of people in uniforms and weapons suddenly broke in.

What followed was a long pursuit and the ferocious monster that swallowed her inside.

Riko was much calmer than Mizorogi expected. She listened expressionlessly as Mizorogi told what he had done, including why he did it and the purpose he achieved.

"...I'm sorry, that's the kind of person I am." These were Mizorogi's last words.

The last time they met, in the abandoned ancestral hall, he told Riko that her parents were probably dead before they were turned into monsters. He also said: "There are such people."

But now, he clearly realizes that this is who he is.

A despicable, disgusting, unscrupulous person who plays tricks on others and takes pleasure in the pain of others... people.

No, perhaps any adjective is not enough to describe his evil. He is an out-and-out, incorrigible evil man.

He didn't even dare to look at Riko again, fearing that she would show fear and resentment.

"Is that so? It's you, uncle." Riko's voice was also quite calm.

Riko sat on the top of the slide with her eyes lowered, but did not slide down for a long time, and Mizorogi was right next to the slide.

"Uncle, did you know? When we went back that day, our parents said that next time the whole family should come out to play together."

"sorry……"

Riko, who was sitting on it, shook her head. She came down from the slide and put her small schoolbag on her back. She just grabbed the strap of the backpack and lowered her head to say goodbye to Mizorogi: "It's getting late, uncle. I Let’s go back first.”

After saying that, she took steps towards Mana.

Mizorogi didn't move, and Mana didn't move either. Only Rui Sheng stood up and looked at Riko worriedly, and couldn't help but look at Mizorogi who was standing there with his back to them.

After Riko came to Mana's side, she bent down and bowed seriously: "Thank you, sister."

Mana got up from the swing and looked at her without saying a word.

Riko didn't say anything, she lowered her head and left.

Ruisheng subconsciously raised her hand, but suddenly she didn't know what she could say. In the end, she didn't say anything.

The three of them stood there for who knows how long. Mizuroki reacted first and walked to the opposite side of Ruisheng: "Let's go back."

Let's go back to TLT base.

At the same time, several black cars and vans arrived here and surrounded the park. Many well-equipped armed men got out of the cars and surrounded the three people inside.

Then came the memory police in black suits.

Shudo came outside the encirclement and saw Rui Sheng safe and sound inside, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, needless to say, Mizorogi was arrested again without any resistance. Mana easily broke through the encirclement and disappeared quickly.

Although Rui Sheng wanted to explain to Mizorogi, no one paid attention to it now. She was directly ordered by Shuto to get into the black car.

From the beginning to the end, Miulumu remained quiet, without speaking or resisting. His silence made Rui Sheng even more worried.

…

Mana came back and told Hong Tu about Mizoromu's arrest.

"It feels a bit pity," Hong Tu turned his chair, "I told him clearly that he would come to see me after reading Riko."

"He chose the TLT base." Mana said coldly, "Riko hit him hard."

Lizi, who heard her name from the side, happened to come out of the kitchen and looked at Mana in confusion: "Mana?"

Mana, who was named, nodded to Riko.

Lizi immediately laughed happily: "Wait a moment, the meal will be ready soon."

With that said, she entered the kitchen again: "Mana, it's true, I came back a little late. But it doesn't matter, I have prepared a good dinner for tonight!"

"Riko looks a little silly." Hong Tu said to Mana, "But Riko is very smart."

"Owner."

"Um?"

"Do you think it is a good thing to let Mizorogi go to see Riko?"

"Hmm...why do you ask?"

"Riko, can I go see Mizorogi?" Mana asked with some uncertainty.

According to common sense, Mizorogi should apologize to those who have been hurt by him. But when she saw Riko's reaction, Mana wasn't so sure.

"I personally feel that just an apology is definitely meaningless." Hong Tu's thoughts are more realistic. "The damage cannot be offset by a 'sorry', and more compensation cannot make up for the pain."

"But apology is an indispensable attitude. Regardless of whether the injured person wants it or not, the culprit always needs to apologize and try to make amends."

"Of course, in my opinion, the best outcome is for the injured person to step out of the shadows and the culprit to free himself. Then, there will be no more intersections."
