The walls were stained with a bright red.

The air also turned red.

It's like a thin layer of mist filling the air, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

Drop after drop of liquid fell from the high-rise building piled with debris, and the sound of water drops hitting the ground beat everyone's heart. Through the eyes stained with blood, everything around seemed to be stained with dust and scarlet.

In the huge space, everything seemed extremely quiet.

In such a confined space, you can even hear the beating of your own heart so clearly.

Listen, your heart is beating.

One jump, one jump, one jump, faster and faster, faster and faster!

It was so fast that I couldn't breathe, and it was so fast that I thought my chest was about to explode!

It's so fast that it makes people think that all this is just their own delusion, just like the things they used to do in the past, a fantasy world.

But...it's true.

The cold touch reminds me all the time that this is reality, and there is nothing more real than this.

"call!!!!"

The sound of gasping in his ears pierced the silent air, and it was like a hammer hitting Mahler's mind, making him wake up.

The boy with glasses had dull eyes, completely unable to believe what was happening in front of him. His mouth opened slightly, as if a roar for help was about to come out of his mouth.

But after all, he still had no chance to say what he wanted to say, the moment he opened his mouth.Mahler's right hand was stuck on the neck of the boy with glasses, and his other hand covered his mouth, making all his words swallowed back.

"Quiet, don't talk, okay?"

The young man struggled painfully, but his strength was like that of a child in front of Mahler, unable to push his hand at all. Under the fear of death, his flushed face nodded to show that he understood.

After making sure that the boy wouldn't yell, Mahler let go of him and threw him on the ground like trash.Then he walked over to Tangerine, who was covered in blood.

"Did you do this?"

Mahler pointed to the three corpses on the ground. Those three people were the same three people who had promised delicious food to the oranges before. However, in less than a few hours, they changed from humans to something on the ground.He just hopes that the girl in front of him can shake his head. In this case, she will have nothing to do with everything.

However, things always develop in the most satisfactory direction. The girl nodded with a rather cold expression, as if she didn't just kill a few human lives, but just a few mice.

"These people not only lied to me, but also touched me. I could feel that they definitely didn't want to treat me to dried fish, but they were full of malicious intent, so I fought back. Am I great, you Watch me beat them all to the ground."

The girl didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all. She looked like a cat who had killed a few mice at home. She looked proud and even stretched her head over to get praise.

"Snapped!"

A clear voice sounded in the room. The girl looked at Mahler in disbelief. Her eyes were red and swollen, and the eyeballs gathered in her eyes. It seemed that if there was an opportunity, these mountains of tears would burst like a flood. pouring out.

"The cat didn't do anything wrong, why did he hit me! Woohoo... Bad guy! Woohoo! Bad guy!"

The cat who was hit on the cheek cried loudly, grabbed Ma Le's arm and gave her a sharp bite, and blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.Mahler showed a pained expression, but did not push the orange away and allowed her to bite it.A big hand was placed on the girl's head, feeling the warmth coming from the palm.The girl's movements stopped. She raised her head and looked at Mahler with aggrieved eyes. She hugged Mahler's neck with a cry and cried completely.

"Obviously...it was...wow...they...made the first move...wuwu, you still hit me...wuwu...bad guy...bad guy."

Mahler put his hand on the girl's back, comforting her gently.

"I know, but killing is wrong. They don't have any intention to kill you. Everyone has only one life. Even if you are as humble as a worm, you have to crawl and live. But you deprived others of their life so easily. The right to go down, it’s not right.”

"But it hurts. If I don't fight back, they will continue to beat me."

Orange stretched out his arm, and several bright red blood stains appeared on his fair skin.

Seeing the wound on the girl's arm, a surge of anger surged out of the boy's heart. His eyes were cold, and he hugged the girl tightly with both hands.I kept repeating sorry in my mouth.

......

When the bespectacled boy saw that everyone was not paying attention to him and wanted to escape quietly, Mahler grabbed his clothes and pressed him against the wall. He took out the dagger he used for self-defense from his waist and pressed it directly against the wall. glasses on chest.

"I'm only going to tell you once, I killed all these people. Do you understand? You can call the police later and just say that you saw these people entering this room with me. Do you understand? These people all Do you know that I was the one who killed you?"

He has seen corpses and done a lot of bad things, but in the final analysis he is just a kid of thirteen or fourteen. He usually just listens to the boasts of his seniors about killing people and has never thought about it. One day it will happen to me, and I am one of the protagonists.

Seeing the sharp dagger gradually approaching his throat, his teeth trembled and his whole body tensed with fear and excitement.

"I understand, these people want to kill you. They are the first to make the move, but they are not as powerful as you. If you kill them in return, they all deserve to die. They deserve it."

Mahler was startled and retracted his hand slightly.Then he pushed him hard against the wall again.

"Who asked you to say those words? Just tell them that I killed the person. Do you understand?"

"I understand..."

After a moment of silence, Mahler released his hand from his throat.The boy with glasses fell to the ground, covered his throat and coughed loudly.But the matter was not over yet. Before he could raise his head, the sharp dagger was already pointed at the tip of his nose.

"You also know my identity. Although the count is not a particularly noble one, there are too many ways to kill a gangster with no identity. On the second floor, what should be said and what should not be said, I believe You are also a smart person, so you certainly understand."

The young man nodded and stood up to leave.The moment he opened the door, he turned around and asked.

"Is it worth it?"

"There is nothing worth it. No matter what, I am also the son of a count. I will be imprisoned for a few years at most. But what she said is that three people's lives cannot be solved by being imprisoned for a few years. And this matter is my fault in the first place. I She shouldn’t have been allowed to walk around on her own.”

"Hmph...fool."

The door opened and closed.

Fool?Maybe.

Mahler raised his knife and walked up to the three corpses, slit their no longer breathing throats one by one, and then smiled.

"We go home."

The bright red world was far away from him, and the bright world full of roses and fragrance appeared before Mahler's eyes again.

finished?

he asked himself.

Is this all over?

As the servants walked around him and changed out of his blood-stained clothes, Mahler was still asking himself.

Now, is it really over?

...No, not yet.

This is just the beginning.

"Father, what do you mean? I killed someone! Why do these three people say I am not guilty?"

Mahler, who had put on brand new clothes, knelt on one knee in front of the only earl in this town. In front of the earl, Mahler seemed as humble as if he was not the earl's son, but just another ordinary servant.The count who was sitting in the hall opened his mouth and laughed, and a cheerful voice came over.

"Mahler, don't pay too much attention to these things. What you killed was just three civilians. As long as you take care of the relationship between the school and the court, these things will not matter at all."

"Yes, they are just three mere civilians, so you don't take it too seriously. Besides, the child's father and I are very relieved that you dare to kill people. You don't know that those people in my family despise you for not having courage every day. I My son has killed three people now, let’s see what else they can say.”

Mahler's mother also laughed. In the entire earl's castle, there was no trace of guilt for family members who killed people. Instead, they just killed a chicken, which was painless and was praised for their courage.

So, was that just three lives?Just three lives...

Mahler suppressed the chill in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke out his thoughts.

"Father, mother, I want to surrender. No matter what, I killed someone. According to the law... I should go to prison. After all, our family is also an earl. They will definitely give me a lighter sentence. As long as I am in prison If I behave better in prison, maybe I can be released after only a few years in prison. There is absolutely no need to do these things. If you break the law, you should be responsible for your actions..."

"madness!"

Mahler's words were interrupted by the count's violent shouting, and he shook his head in great disappointment.

"We are counts, the most noble people in this town, and you, as a member of our family and the heir to the title, are in jail for breaking the law. This puts our family's face at risk. For the sake of the family’s face, you must be innocent.”

"Stop talking about surrendering. You are lucky. It happened that the only people at the scene were witnesses and your pet. Hand over the girl. Let's just say that those three people planned to molest the girl. The girl resisted bravely and accidentally killed the three. people."

When Mahler heard that the girl was going to be handed over to the court as a scapegoat, Mahler, who had been kneeling, stood up and yelled at his father in a panic.

"No, absolutely not. This matter has nothing to do with her. Why should she be the scapegoat? She understands nothing and understands nothing. She must not go in, absolutely not. Mother, don't you like her so much? How can you do that? In this case, are you willing to give up on her?"

"Yes, that girl is really cute. It's a pity to go to jail like this."

Mahler looked at his mother as if he had seen a savior, with a hopeful smile on his face, but the hope immediately turned into cold despair in the next moment.

"But the family's interests are the greatest. You can have as many cute toys as you want in the future, but the family's reputation must not be affected. It's good to have such a cute girl to play with. Mahler, you want a cute one Sister?"
