The summer sun was warm and abundant, and Qingtaka Ayanokōji leaned on the window sill and slowly turned a page of the book. At this moment, the sun seemed to cast a light on this expressionless young man, making him look extraordinarily sacred.

It has been ten years since the dean took him from the beach to the orphanage last time, ten years is enough time for him to understand this place clearly, this place is no longer the hero world, there is no personality and hero high school, Aizawa Xiao The alarm locator that was too stuffed for him was useless.

Although he didn't know why he became a child, but as time passed, he was slowly growing up, so he was a little relieved.

"Qinglong? So you are here."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka tilted his head slightly, and at the end of the corridor, a boy who was about his age jogged over. He looked a little trembling, and even when he was running, he was always careful not to make too loud noises.

"Dun." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka closed the book, "It's not time to go back to the room yet, is it?"

"I don't know, the dean asked me to call you..."

When talking about the dean, the voice of the boy in front of him obviously lowered by a degree, with a little fear that could not be concealed, he lowered his head and looked at the floor, his eyes were blocked by his silver-gray hair.

But even if Ayanokōji Kiyotaka didn't look at it, he knew that the boy must be hesitant and afraid.

Atsushi Nakajima is the child brought back by the dean from outside in the second year. He is the same age as him. Except for the strange hair color, he is the most ordinary child and the dean’s favorite child. From Shima Atsushi's point of view, the dean's liking is more like a kind of dislike.

Belittling, punishing, confinement, these are full of life in Atsushi Nakajima.

All the other children in the orphanage avoided Nakajima Atsushi, only Ayanokōji Kiyotaka was willing to contact him, and over time, he became Nakajima Atsushi's only friend.

Putting the book in his arms, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka walked up to Atsushi Nakajima, "I see, I'll go there now."

Passing by Atsushi Nakajima, he felt his body stiffen when they parted. He turned his head slightly, and Atsushi Nakajima stood with his back to him, but his hands were tightly clutching the corner of his clothes.

"Dun?"

Atsushi Nakajima gripped the corner of Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's clothes tightly, "Well, I feel that the principal is...not very happy."

"Don't worry." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka turned to look at him, "I'll be fine."

His eyes were filled with worry, but Atsushi Nakajima let go of his hands when he touched Ayanokōji's unwavering eyes. He forced a smile, "Haha, that's right, the dean has always liked Kiyotaka."

Since he has been in the orphanage for so long, Atsushi Nakajima has never seen the director punish Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, it seems that all the patience of the director is on Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka nodded, "I'll find you when I come back."

"Okay." Atsushi Nakajima looked at him, "I'll wait in the room for Kiyotaka to come back."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka walked through the corridor with the book in his arms. The whole corridor was only the sound of his footsteps. It was so quiet that he felt suffocated. This is a very special orphanage, because the director of the orphanage is a retired killer. Call it a good memory and there is no way to teach a child well.

So he can only teach children in the way he has experienced before, and he has not noticed the error of this teaching method at all.

Pushing open the door of the dean's room, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka called softly, "I'm coming in."

The dean was sitting in front of the table, his whole body was still indifferent and cold, he seemed to have kept this kind of appearance, and it hadn't changed from ten years ago to ten years later.

"Qinglong, you are here." The dean looked at him, he was still wearing the white coat, "Have you finished the book?"

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka put the book in his hand on the table, "After reading it, I hope Mr. Dean can find me some works by Mr. Natsume Soseki."

"Yes." The dean nodded, he paused, and then he thought there was no other way to say, "Qinglong, you are the first child in the orphanage, and also the child I am most assured of, so I would like to ask you One thing for you, if it's you, it must be fine."

Ayanokōji Qinglong tilted his head, "Oh? You can ask Mr. Dean to entrust me, but I'm just an ordinary orphan like Atsushi."

The dean frowned slightly when he heard Atsushi Nakajima's name. He stood up, looking a little annoyed, "Do you know that Atsushi disappeared for a few days before? I asked you because of this. "

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka looked at him, there was not much emotion in his golden eyes.

Yes, at a certain time in the orphanage, Atsushi Nakajima disappeared for a few days, but soon he reappeared, as if he had never disappeared, and he didn’t even have the memory of that time. When Koji Kiyotaka mentioned it, his face was blank, and he even thought that Ayano Koji was joking.

And it's not just Atsushi Nakajima who doesn't remember, even the dean didn't explain too much.

"Dun has a beast in him."

With a hint of sadness in his eyes, the dean sighed slightly, "That beast is irrational and cannot be controlled. During that time, I took him to find someone who was said to be able to control this beast, but failed. "

beast?

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka was a little puzzled in his heart, but his face was still normal.

The dean said it very seriously, he really thinks so, so he is not lying.

But can a beast really live in a human body?

"Mr. Dean, can you tell me something about this 'beast'?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said, "Although Mr. Dean said this, I don't understand what Mr. Dean means at all."

The dean glanced at him, "You will know later."

Even though he said this, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka did not expect that an incident would happen so soon. At night, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka heard a very subtle sound in the orphanage, like claws scraping the floor. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka opened his eyes, Stare at the ceiling in a quiet room.

The sound disappeared quickly, like a stray cat walking in to eat, because it didn't know how to hide and made a strange purring sound.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka sat up from the bed, the door was open, and Atsushi Nakajima, who was supposed to sleep in the bed next to him, was gone.

The moonlight sprinkled on his face through the window, and in the hazy night, only those golden eyes seemed to be shining, with an undetectable indifference and indifference.

……

The orphanage was attacked by something, there were overturned tables and chairs everywhere, the floor scratched by claws and the floor where the cabinets were displayed, it looked extremely terrifying, the children shrank back tremblingly, and Ayanokōji Kiyotaka stood The group of orphans looked at the dean standing in front of the ruins.

The Dean's expression was very strange, he didn't seem to be angry, but more like worried about something.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka turned his head and glanced at Atsushi Nakajima. The boy standing beside him looked at the ruins with confusion and a little fear in his eyes.

"Dun." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka asked him in a low voice, "Where did you go last night?"

"Did I go out last night?" Nakajima Atsushi looked at Ayanokōji Kiyotaka blankly, "I remember that I didn't seem to wake up at night, and just slept until dawn."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka stared at him, "Really?"

"But I really don't remember going out by myself, and I slept soundly in my bed the next day." Nakajima Atsushi looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, his voice was a little eager, but he lowered his voice very well, " Qinglong, did you really see me leave?"

"Not really." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka replied, "But it seems that you are not on the bed."

Atsushi Nakajima lowered his head, and after a while he whispered, "Well, Kiyotaka, can you not tell the dean."

"Sorry, am I a little too unreasonable, I'm just... just a little worried and scared."

"Okay." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka turned his gaze back, "Atsushi has been sleeping on the bed and never left, that's how I see it."

Atsushi Nakajima was stunned for a moment, he looked at Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, after he was stunned, he lowered his head, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "It's really great to meet Kiyotaka."

Although the dean is terrible, the orphanage did take him in. Although there is no other place to go, but fortunately there is Qingtaka Ayanokōji. To have such a friend, is he luckier than others? It’s good to be alive ah.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka glanced at the dean who didn't seem to notice, "Atsushi, you really didn't realize it?"

"I...not." Atsushi Nakajima shook his head, "My consciousness was only last night before going to bed."

"Oh?" Ling Xiaolu Qinglong said slowly, "It seems that it was the same as before. Dun Mingming disappeared for several days, but came back and said that he had never left at all. If I hadn't shown you the calendar, you would not believe yourself at all. Have you ever left, Don, are you sleepwalking?"

"I don't know." Atsushi Nakajima lowered his head, "But there is always a terrible feeling."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka looked at him, "Scary?"

"Well, it's like being stared at by some large animal. I feel like I'm getting goosebumps." Atsushi Nakajima rubbed his arms.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka looked at him, and he spoke after a while, "So do you have any specific images about this feeling? For example, in a dream."

"In a dream...?"

Atsushi Nakajima was lost in thought, his face became ugly after a while, and he trembled unconsciously.

"Dun?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka patted him on the shoulder, "What's wrong with you?"

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly shifted his gaze to Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, his voice trembling, "Qingtaka, I, I seem to...see a tiger."

tiger?

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka remembered what the dean had said to him. He said that there was a beast living in Atsushi Nakajima's body.

If it is a tiger, the tiger's claw marks can indeed overlap with the marks on the floor, but the question remains, why is there a beast living in a human body?

But he seems to have heard one thing, there are powerful supernatural beings in this world, although the number is rare, they do exist...

"You two, please count the losses." The dean instructed the people behind, "Give me the specific amount after counting."

"Don't you need to call the police?" The person behind looked at the dean suspiciously, "Mr. dean, this is obviously a thief."

"No need." The dean said indifferently, and after handing over the matter to them, the dean walked up to Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and Nakajima Atsushi, "You two come with me."

Obviously feeling Atsushi Nakajima's stiff body for a moment, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji grabbed Atsushi Nakajima's sleeve, "It's okay."

"Um……"

Atsushi Nakajima answered rather reluctantly.
