Only I Walk Alone

Chapter 21 - Filming Ends



The eldest sister stepped forward to stop everyone. She said, “It’s time for us to go back, to the place where we were born, or to Wu Ge’s home is also fine. We can’t go to Paris!”

The youngest sister pouted, “Why not? My movie must have the scenery of Paris!”

The eldest sister glared at the youngest sister and then looked at her second sister, who smiled gently. She was very tender when it came to her sisters. She said, “Sister, this is my wish. Let it come true, okay?”

Tears suddenly flowed from the eldest sister’s eyes. She said, “Second sister, I can’t bear to leave you. Can we put off this wish for a bit longer?”

Wu Ge was suddenly puzzled, “What is this?”

Xiao Chao and Xiao Luo couldn’t hear anything. They didn’t know what was happening.

The second sister gently hugged her elder sister and said, “Sister, let’s go to the Louvre together.”

The eldest sister couldn’t hold back anymore; she burst into tears, and the second sister held her, continuously patting her on the back.

Wu Ge suddenly understood something, and he remained silent.

The second sister looked at Wu Ge and was particularly rude to him, “Hurry up, fulfill my wish, and this building will be yours!”

Wu Ge understood that ghosts would disappear if their wishes were fulfilled, because their obsessions would be gone.

The giant spider platform started to move west. They passed through Central Asia, arrived in Europe, after passing through many countries and robot cities, they finally arrived in France and stopped in front of the Louvre in France.

The three sisters couldn’t leave the haunted building by more than ten meters, so they could only stand at the entrance of the Louvre, staring dumbfounded at the huge and beautiful museum. At this moment, the sun slowly set, turning the Louvre into a golden hue.

The three sisters stood in front of the Louvre, and Wu Ge recorded them with his camera. As the sun gradually set, the second sister suddenly disappeared. Her body became translucent and finally completely vanished.

The youngest sister suddenly threw herself into the eldest sister’s arms and started crying. The youngest sister also understood what it meant to fulfill a wish. She couldn’t bear her sister’s departure but was helpless.

The eldest sister gently said, “Don’t cry. Your second sister has gone to a beautiful place, a place a million times more beautiful than this reality. Don’t cry. Did you see how happy your second sister was when she left?”

The youngest sister stopped crying. She said, “Sister, my movie is about to be completed. I want to shoot the last scene on Mount Fuji.”

The youngest sister stopped crying, but tears streamed down the eldest sister’s face.

The youngest sister said, “Don’t cry, sister. Didn’t you say it’s a beautiful place? Second sister is waiting for me!”

The eldest sister was sobbing uncontrollably, having turned into a tearful mess.

The trip to Paris ended, and they took an aircraft carrier, crossed the Atlantic, bypassed the America, then crossed the Pacific Ocean, and finally arrived at Mount Fuji.

At the foot of this great mountain, cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Forty years ago, the blooming cherry blossoms would have attracted countless tourists, but today, it was quiet with only Wu Ge as a human presence.

Wu Ge saw the two sisters wearing kimonos, stepping onto Mount Fuji for their final farewell.

The youngest sister held her elder sister and whispered something very softly, something Wu Ge couldn’t hear at all.

Then, a gust of wind suddenly swept through, lifting countless cherry blossoms. When the wind died down and the cherry blossoms slowly fell, the youngest sister, Qingzi, had already disappeared.

The movie shooting was completed. It was a genuine ghost film, with the ghosts being the three sisters, leaving only the lone eldest sister in the final scene.

The eldest sister turned around, her face covered in tears. She said, “I am Takahashi Mei. This is the story of us three sisters.”

The last line should have been said by the youngest sister since she was the main character and the narrator of the story, but the youngest sister, had disappeared.

The youngest sister narrated the story of the three sisters with a youthful tone. They grew up in this haunted building. At first, it was a particularly lively building, but gradually, the neighbors moved out one after another, with no new neighbors moving in.

In the end, only the three sisters were left in the building. They lived there, and because they were sisters, they didn’t feel lonely or isolated. But one day, an accident happened suddenly…

Ghosts usually don’t remember how they died, and the three sisters were no different. They didn’t know how they died. They only knew they had lived in this building year after year, just not knowing from when they could no longer leave the building beyond ten meters.

Wu Ge was stunned for a long time by the heartwarming story he had heard over these months, so long that the camera continued recording.

It was not until the elder sister walked up to Wu Ge and patted his shoulder that he came back to reality. He sighed and then said, “Filming is over, thank you for your hard work.”

The appearance of the eldest sister, Mei, became clear, and Wu Ge could see her clearly. In fact, when the second sister disappeared, Wu Ge was able to distinguish what clothes they were wearing. Now, after the youngest sister disappeared, the eldest sister, Mei, could be clearly seen by Wu Ge.

Wu Ge suddenly asked as if compelled by some unseen force, “What is your wish?”

The eldest sister, Mei, stopped her tears and pretended to be angry, “My wish was for the three sisters to continue living together. Now, because of you, this wish can never be fulfilled!”

Wu Ge: “…”

He was speechless!

Suddenly, Xiao Luo exclaimed, “I can see now, are you… Mei? I can see you, and I can also hear your voice. Does this mean, my psychic power has increased, am I advancing to a higher level vampire? Oh, I’ve finally waited for this day!”

Xiao Chao said, “That’s just your illusion because, I can see too.”

Mei looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She touched Xiao Luo’s head and gently said, “Xiao Luo, nice to meet you. The first time I greeted you, you didn’t respond to me.”

Wu Ge asked, “Can you leave the haunted building now?”

Mei sister nodded, “I can now. It seems like I’ve upgraded, and I’m no longer a bound spirit.”

Xiao Chao controlled a robot to carefully observe Mei sister, saying, “So you really exist. Strange, why can I see you? Did you… manipulate the light?”

Mei sister nodded, “I don’t know how it happened, but it seems like I can make you see me just by thinking about it.”

Wu Ge also pondered, if I could use psychic power to manipulate light, does that mean I could become invisible?

Bold ideas were plentiful, but unfortunately, Wu Ge was the only human left on Earth.

Wu Ge shook his head and said, “We, should go back now.”
