Chapter 317 “She is just an innocent little girl after all.

Chapter 317 "She is just an innocent little girl after all."

"Look at these little girls, do you think they are united?"

Bai Ye looked at the little girls next to him who started to help each other read and write because they had nothing to do.

Some are more literate and some are less literate. Those who are more literate are helping those who are less literate to learn.

After hearing this, Lan Yuan Yanzhu turned to look at them, thinking about what he had seen and heard from last night to now, and finally nodded lightly in affirmation.

"So far, we are very united."

Not only do they live together, but materials are also distributed uniformly. For the scattered children of the curse, this can definitely be regarded as "unity."

"Do you know why they can unite and help each other?"

"……why?"

"Because there is a girl who gave up her own future to teach them here and let them know the principles of 'unity' and 'mutual help'."

"...So if you want to unite everyone, you must first teach them these principles?"

"That's right, and you also need to know that unity comes at a cost, and the prerequisite for mutual help is sacrifice."

"..."

Lan Yuan Yanzhu was silent for a while after hearing this.

Then the tone seemed full of resentment: "But we have paid so much to protect the city and protect the people, but they are not grateful to us at all, let alone help each other with us."

"That's why we say unity is difficult."

Bai Ye reached out and touched her little head to express comfort.

Then he continued: "The more people there are, the harder it is to unite, so you can start simple, first one person, two people, then ten or hundreds, then tens of thousands, from few to many, Slowly accumulate strength, and sooner or later we will be able to accomplish the great cause of overturning the old order and establishing a new order."

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed: "But it's not easy to unite, and it's even harder to overthrow the old world. Those with vested interests will not give up their power easily. They will suppress you crazily, and you will die by then. For many people, if you are not mentally prepared for death, I advise you not to think about it so much. If you continue to be your 'starter', you will at least have enough food and clothing."

"..."

Lan Yuan Yanzhu fell silent again.

Bai Ye pointed out the path for her. Although it was not very clear, it was foreseeable that this path was not easy to walk, full of thorns, and there would be a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice, and it might not even lead to success in the end.

Were your previous decisions too hasty?

The little girl suddenly began to doubt herself.

Bai Ye did not disturb her thoughts, but clapped her hands to attract the attention of other little girls.

"Okay, let's start today's physical examination."

"Yes."

A bunch of little girls responded in unison.

……

Aihara Yanzhu did not participate in Bai Ye's inspection and research. She could not find the answer for the time being and left the underground shelter, wanting to return to the [-]th District that she was familiar with.

How many familiar companions are there?

Although I haven't had much communication with them before, and may not even have spoken to them, they can indeed be regarded as companions.

The outer area is very large, and there are many internal divisions. No one can give an accurate number, or even a rough number, for how many children of the curse live here.

How many are alive?

How many died?

How many are missing?

What was the cause of death?What is the reason for the disappearance?

No one cares about any of this.

Regardless of whether he died of starvation, accidental death, or was beaten to death, as long as the noise was small, the police would not care.

The police also don't care whether the missing person was arrested for something.

Because some things were done by the police, it would not be good if they were traced to themselves or their colleagues.

Lanyuan Yanzhu has been away from the outer area for more than a year. Walking among the ruins of the city, everything here seems strange and yet very familiar.

While walking, he suddenly saw the figures of several adults, and quickly hid before they saw him.

It would be better to have less trouble.

Several people passed by from a little distance away, saying something about "tenacious vitality" and so on, and they were gone before long.

Lan Yuan Yanzhu felt strange and searched along the direction they came from.

Soon, mutilated bodies were seen in abandoned houses.

The wide-open eyes that had long lost color seemed to be full of confusion. He was probably thinking about what he had done wrong and why he had to be treated like this before he died.

Lan Yuan Yanzhu, who walked in from outside, met her eyes.

Shocked first.

Then he became furious, his eyes turned red, and his whole body trembled.

When I was still living in District [-], I seemed to have seen such things, or at least heard of such things.

The "easy" life for a year made her gradually forget about it.

But now, she thought about it, and she understood.

"No killing!"

This is what Rentaro Satomi taught her, and there are many supporting principles.

Not only Satomi Rentaro, many people said this, and many people asked them this.

Originally this was also a requirement for ordinary people.

but……

"Ah! Ah!!!"

Lan Yuan Yanzhu let out a shrill scream, turned around and ran in the direction those people left, chasing after them.

Killing people is not the solution.

So how to solve the problem?

Satomi Rentaro didn't say anything.

Although Lan Yuan Yanzhu had doubts in the past, she didn't think much about this issue.

Until the night before yesterday, Misaka Mikoto had talked to her a lot.

Killing people is not the solution to the problem, but it is the solution to the person who created the problem.

The weapon of criticism cannot replace the weapon of criticism.

Sometimes the only option is to fight violence with violence.

Dignity is not acquired by begging.

Being a "guardian of the city" and a "partner of justice" can only move you at most, but it cannot make these people feel grateful at all.

Most of the time, dignity can only be achieved with your own hands.

Tooth for tooth! Blood for blood!

……

Noon, underground shelter.

The children are preparing lunch.

Lan Yuan Yanzhu, who was covered in blood, stumbled in, startling all of them.

He quickly ran over to help her, looked up and down carefully, and found that there was no obvious trauma, and the blood on her body was probably not hers, so he felt relieved a little.

Then he carefully brought Lan Yuan Yanzhu to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye looked at Lan Yuan Yanzhu who looked like she had just crawled out of the sea of blood, and secretly lamented the huge difference between this world and the original work. On the surface, he was helping the little girl check her body.

"Don't worry, she's not injured, she's just tired. Take her to take a bath and change her clothes."

The little girls nodded and quickly started to act again.

……

This is the age of war.

Although the lives of ordinary people do not seem to be affected, they continue to behave as they should on weekdays, and they do not appear to be "captive" at all.

Is it because the Tokyo area has enough space to relax?

Or is it because you can relax by bullying the Cursed Child?

A lot of people are bullying those little girls.

Some won't bully, but won't help either.

Only a handful are willing to help.

Satomi Rentaro belongs to the second type.

He would not bully the children of the curse, but he would not provide help to them. Many times he chose to stand aside and stop Aihara Yanzhu who tried to take action.

Later, he will use some great reasoning to make Amihara Yanzhu accept the reality.

Yesterday, there was no chance to make sense, because Ahara Yeonju left him without mercy and left the scene.

Satomi Rentaro was seriously injured and almost died on the spot.

In the end, he fell into the river and was washed away by the water, thus avoiding the "last strike" of Zhizi Yingyin.

<divclass="contentadv"> He was lucky and was rescued by friendly forces. After the operation, he was able to save his life, but he was still in a coma.

As for his "initiator" companion Aihara Enju...

According to reports from the helicopter pilot who was still overhead, the little girl seemed to have escaped.

As the boss of the partnership of Satomi Rentaro and Aihara Enju, Tendogi felt that something was wrong.

In the afternoon, I also received news: a murder occurred near the junction of the outer area and the city. Several people were killed, and the murderer brutally dismembered the bodies.

Based on the analysis of the bloody footprints at the scene, the murderer is obviously the "Curse Child".

To be more precise, it should be a "starter", because those cursed children who don't even have enough to eat do not have the ability to kill several adult males.

After receiving the news, Tendo Gisara felt that the situation was a bit not good.

“But it must not be Yanzhu!”

……

As long as the Cursed Child's death doesn't cause any trouble, no one will care about it.

It's different when ordinary people die.

The police immediately began to take action, investigating and collecting evidence, and conducting searches.

The Cursed Child, who was also brutally murdered, was soon found.

But no one cares.

Some police officers searched in the direction of the bloody footprints.

There were no more footprints along the way, and they just continued searching along the road, gradually approaching the underground shelter.

When there was still some distance, the little girl who was responsible for checking the situation outside ran back.

"Brother Bai Ye, Xiao Hui, the police are already nearby."

Bai Ye nodded towards her and said nothing.

Xiaohui pulled her away.

Aihara Yanzhu, who had been lying on the bed for a long rest, opened his eyes and looked very remorseful.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive and caused trouble to everyone."

"This is nothing, it's just a small thing."

Bai Ye waved his hands, as if to comfort her.

But then the conversation changed: "The real big trouble is still to come."

"……Behind?"

"In the eyes of those people, their killing of the Cursed Son is not a big deal, and no one will pursue it. But the Cursed Son killed people without getting the so-called 'facilitator' or the government's order. Oh, this is a rebellion. Ah, a mere slave and a mere plaything dare to resist, where does this put their faces? So just watch, there will be large-scale revenge soon, and the situation for you children of the curse will become even more difficult."

Speaking of this, Bai Ye shook his head and sighed: "So, impulsiveness is the devil, you are the child of the curse who has tricked everything."

"..."

Lan Yuan Yanzhu was stunned by what he said.

Then there was panic, fear, and then determination, and he threw off the quilt and jumped up.

"I am responsible for the trouble I caused!"

After saying that, he was ready to put on his shoes and leave.

But he was pulled back by Bai Ye: "Are you responsible? How can you be responsible?"

"I went out and told them that I was the one who killed the person. If you want revenge, come after me!"

"Hey~."

Bai Ye couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and then shook his head again and sighed: "She is just an innocent little girl after all. Do you think it will be fine if you 'surrender'?"

"...???"

Aihara Yanzhu said he didn't understand.

Bai Ye asked her to sit down and calm down for a moment, and then explained: "Under normal circumstances, of course one person is responsible for the work, but this is not a normal situation. The people's hatred and resentment towards you are above the law. What you did This thing is like a fuse, completely detonating their emotions. Killing you will not make their 'anger' subside at all, and they will still take action against these children of the curse."

"...Then wouldn't I have harmed everyone?"

"So, if you are not capable enough, you should think twice before taking action."

With such emotion, Bai Ye reached out and gently touched her little head.

The little girl bit her lip, her eyes filled with self-blame. The more she thought about it, the more impatient she became, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.

She could only regard Bai Ye as a life-saving straw and a temporary shelter. She threw herself into his arms and cried. While crying, she muttered words such as "It's all my fault" and "I harmed everyone."

Bai Ye patted her back gently.

"Don't be anxious, be calm, don't get confused, calm down and think carefully to see if there is a way to solve the problem."

Aihara Yanzhu, who kept sobbing "Hi~" and "Ugh~", left the boy's arms.

The snot and the tears made Bai Ye's clothes a mess.

"Still...hiss~ha~, what else can I do? Woo~"

Bai Ye took out a tissue and covered her nose. The little girl sprayed out mucus in response, and her mood calmed down a lot.

Bai Ye threw away the tissue and took out another to wipe his clothes.

"Let me ask you, do you hate gasterozoans?"

"Ah."

"Is there a particular gasterozoa that you particularly hate?"

"……No."

"What would you do if so?"

"...will try every means to kill it."

"What if this gastrea keeps jumping in front of you all day long to challenge you, but you just can't kill it?"

"...???"

"Then you will be angry, you will be furious, you will stare at that gastrea, and you will not care about other gastrea until you kill it, right?"

"……Seems to be."

"It doesn't seem like it, but it is like this in most cases. Once the attention and hatred value are attracted, there is little intention to pay attention to other things."

"..."

Aihara Yanzhu, who slowly stopped sobbing, fell into thinking. After a long time, he came up with the answer. He raised his head and looked at Bai Ye with wide eyes.

"Brother means that as long as I continue to provoke them and attract their attention and hatred, they will not temporarily target the Cursed Son in the outer area?"

"That's about it."

"But what to do? Continue killing?"

"Think for yourself."

Bai Ye did not give a plan, but touched her little head: "You have to find a way to solve the problem yourself, and you have to rely on your own strength and wisdom to change the world."

"..."

Lan Yuan Yanzhu did not speak, but continued to think.

Xiaohui, who had been out for a long time, ran back.

"The policemen were fooled by us and will not come here again for the time being. They have not discovered the existence of the underground shelter."

"Well done, I'll reward you with candy."

"Thank you brother."

More than [-] words

I don’t know if you enjoyed it or not.

Anyway, I enjoyed writing it myself

It's been a long time since I've been like this.

……

The different world was included in the original plan
