Chapter 0856 – Another hint?

　　Sakura Red hid behind the old principal and was reluctant to come out, she looked nervous, but Chen Ge didn’t find much fear on her face, which meant that even if she was facing the three red coats, Sakura Red might still have the certainty of escaping.

　　Chen Ge didn’t know what Sakura Red’s reliance was, and he could only deal with it carefully.

　　”Headmaster?” Chen Ge saw that the old principal had been silent, as if he had something difficult to say.

　　”These two children are both Li Xuezura, they are one person.” The principal’s gaze at the two girls was filled with love and guilt, “I know that one of them is called Sakura Red and the other is called Sakura White, but no matter what they’re called, both of them are my relatives.”

　　Reaching out and gently touching Sakura Red’s head, the old principal shielded Sakura Red behind him.

　　Being stroked on the head by the old principal, a trace of disgust flashed in the bottom of Sakura Red’s eyes, but probably because the current situation was too unfavorable for her, and she still needed the old principal to act as a backer, so she didn’t resist, and intentionally acted in a well-behaved manner.

　　”In fact, to put it mildly, Sakura Red is more like the Yukizakura of that time, facing her father who was a heavy drinker and abusive gambler, as well as her mother who was too weak to leave her wheelchair, she could only protect herself.” The old principal stopped all the blame on himself, “It’s all my fault, I was the one who blindly believed in Snow Cherry’s father’s bullshit, and it was me who personally pushed them into the fire pit.”

　　What the old principal said, Sakura White didn’t seem to know, she looked at the old principal blankly, her beautiful clean eyes full of incomprehension, her mouth muttering the two words grandfather.

　　Sakura Red’s reaction on the other hand was completely different from Sakura White’s, she was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart, her expression didn’t change too much, but her pupils had already flushed out a touch of blood color.

　　The memories of the past were hurting her very much, and her body was slowly changing.

　　”Headmaster, I’m afraid things aren’t as simple as you think.” Chen Ge didn’t want to hide anything from the old principal as he opened Sakura Hong’s school bag and rummaged through it to find the balls of paper that he had searched from Sakura Hong’s drawer.

　　The calmness on Sakura Hong’s face was shattered when she saw the papers that had been crumpled up into a ball, and it looked as if the murderer knew that the body he had buried had been discovered by the police.

　　Written on the paper were Sakurahon’s dissatisfaction with the world, as well as words about wanting to kill the old principal.

　　Holding a piece of paper in his hands, Chen Ge looked at the old principal who was bent on protecting Sakurahong, and Sakurahong whose eyes were flushed with red as she clutched the old principal’s clothes, and he hesitated again.

　　Gently shaking his head, Chen Ge put those sheets of paper back into his school bag, “Headmaster, can you elaborate on why Snow Sakura became like this?”

　　Retrieving those white papers filled with crazy words, Chen Ge realized that both Sakura Hong and the old principal were relieved.

　　He vaguely understood in his heart that the old principal actually knew everything.

　　”Sakura White is the cleanest side of Snow Cherry’s innermost being, she’s simple, kind, and naive, but the reason she can live like this is because all the negative emotions such as insecurity, fear, and hatred are borne by Sakura Red.” The old principal had a hint of remorse and anger in his voice, “Snow Sakura’s mother was the first child I adopted, she was in poor health and was unable to have children, so she adopted Snow Sakura. At that time, I was the one who accompanied the couple, Snow Cherry was still very young at that time, I watched their family of three talking and laughing so happily, and I was very happy myself, but then I realized that things were not at all what I thought they were.”

　　Chen Ge heard a wave of hatred in the old principal’s voice, which made him a little surprised that an old principal with such a good temperament would hate someone so much.

　　”Knowing people, Snow Cherry’s father is a complete liar, he didn’t approach Snow Cherry’s mother out of fondness in the beginning, but wanted to get his hands on a few properties in my name. He knows that I don’t have a child by blood, that’s why he specifically approached us, including this matter of adopting Snow Sakura, all of it is something he purposely did to act out for us to see.”

　　If it was just this, the old principal wouldn’t have been so angry, what he said later was the reason why he was truly enraged, “After learning that I was going to donate all of my real estate and had hired a lawyer to make a will early on, he became infuriated, and every day he was looking for all sorts of reasons to pick a fight, beating up Snow Sakura’s mother, and even once he even set his sights on Snow Sakura, which was thankfully detected in time by Snow Sakura ‘s mother found out in time.”

　　The old man’s voice was trembling, he was a good man, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t get angry.

　　To put it another way, with the old principal’s character, he probably wouldn’t have swallowed any other severe ghosts, and for him to become a half-bodied Redcoat under these circumstances, that could only mean that his obsession was very deep, and that there were things that had to be accomplished.

　　”I read all of these things from the diary in Snow Cherry’s room after her death, do you know how hard it was for me to hold that diary in my heart at that time?” The old principal gently stopped Sakura Red by her side: “Sakura White was unable to live in that kind of place, that’s why Sakura Red appeared.”

　　After listening to the old principal’s words, Chen Ge was a little glad that he didn’t just take out those paper balls, he looked at Sakura Red and suddenly remembered another thing in his mind.

　　Sakura White had said that her father had suddenly left the house at a certain time and then never returned, at first Chen Ge hadn’t thought much about it, but now after seeing Sakura Red, he vaguely guessed what would happen to that man in the end.

　　He definitely wouldn’t come back, and he would never come back.

　　Sakura Red originally had a strong opinion of the old principal, and she was even paranoid enough to want to hurt him.

　　But then something happened that she didn’t expect, when she was targeted by the three red coats, the old principal didn’t let a step to protect her behind her back, and in turn became her savior, which made her opinion of the old principal change.

　　Immediately afterward when she saw the old principal’s remorseful and saddened appearance, a very uncomfortable emotion arose in her heart, as if a tiny crack had appeared on the cold and hard heart scab.

　　”I didn’t realize that she still had such a past, I can understand it, but …… “Chen Ge didn’t say the latter words, he put away the headless female ghost and the red high heeled shoes, these two can’t be counted as the real employees of the haunted house yet, the headless female ghost was very reluctant, and the red high heeled shoes were even more disobedient, the shoes were put away in the backpack, but the blood red shoe prints on the table were getting more and more.

　　Putting away the two reds was to show his attitude, Chen Ge decided to let the old principal deal with this matter himself, although Sakura Red was brutal and full of negative emotions inside, she was after all one with Sakura White.

　　Hands resting on Sakura White’s shoulders, Chen Ge’s gaze moved between Sakura Red and Sakura White, he was about to ask the old principal some more questions when he suddenly realized something.

　　”Why does this situation with Sakura Red and Sakura White feel a bit familiar? It’s like a shadow of Liwan Town and I?”

　　To be exact, Chen Ge thought of himself and the Underworld Tire, one was just an optimistic and cheerful haunted house owner, while the other was the most terrifying existence in the four-star scene.

　　”Wait, wait ……” Chen Ge rubbed his temples fiercely, “My family told the old principal that Snow Cherry was in the Psychic Ghost School, which means that he is very clear about Snow Cherry’s situation, could this be another one of the things that they are giving me a hint?”
