[Master K] The bad one next door

"Drink!"

With a roar full of anger, the orange-haired boy stepped on the skateboard and jumped high, swung the stick down fiercely, and the head of the last bloody man was also blown away.

The body of the blood man who lost his head fell heavily to the ground, and scarlet liquid gushed out from the fracture in the neck, gradually forming a pool of blood.After Hatta fell to the ground again, he shook off the dripping blood and brains from the baseball bat with a bit of disgust, and gave a heavy "tsk": "Damn, these monsters are really annoying!"

Akagi, who had finished dealing with the other blood men, came over and showed a helpless smile: "Well, at least we are much luckier than Yazawa-san."

Thinking of how Miya was cornered by a group of blood men before, Hatta couldn't help but turn dark.If he hadn't arrived in time, God knows what would have happened to her now, she might have been torn to pieces.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a mistake to keep that stinky brat.

When they came to a corner with few blood people, the two stopped.Chicheng opened the map, looked left and right, and murmured: "Something seems wrong...?"

"……what?"

Chi Cheng looked away guiltily: "We seem to be going the wrong way...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

Hatta was so angry that he jumped and almost punched Akagi by the collar:

"It's so noisy! We've all come here and you told me to go the wrong way! Are you looking for a beating?!"

"So, that's why I told you to calm down! Tell me which one is east and which is west between W and E!" QAQ!

As soon as these words came out, the two fell silent.

After a while, Hatta said, "...Hey, let's look for it ourselves first."

"Okay, okay..."

The two let go of each other silently, and turned to face the blood men not far away who were attracted by their yelling, and lit the flames one after another.

In the following trip, they all kept silent about this little episode in a very tacit understanding.

<<<<<

After Harataro's voice sounded, Mami froze immediately.

The boy's body was so close that she could even clearly feel his body temperature through the cloth.However, the first thing she thought of was not his abnormality, but: when did he come behind her?

She was somewhat confident in her five senses, but this child came behind her without her noticing.

"Sister Mami, what's the matter with you?" Hara Taro seemed not aware of her surprise, and his tone was innocent, "You don't look well, are you sick?"

……wrong.

Something is wrong.

If it was Hara Taro, he would never talk to her in this tone.

Maki finally realized something was wrong with the boy belatedly.She clenched her fists, turned her head, and said vigilantly:

"Harataro, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Harataro stretched out his hand from behind her, passed her and grabbed the wire of the pinhole camera.The next second, the hand that belonged to the child pulled violently, and the wire snapped off in the middle.

The camera lens flickered slightly, and fell silent again.

Seeing Harataro throwing down an end of the wire with no expression on his face, Mami was stunned for a moment.

The broken half of the wire in her hand exposed a few sections of iron wire, and it was still emitting tiny electric lights "puchipuchi".The two stared blankly at each other. After a long while, Harataro tilted his head and showed her a very cute smile: "Sister Mami, let's talk."

……

After sitting back on the sofa again, Maki had already calmed down a little.

Now this Harutaro is obviously no longer the former Harataro, and of course she can no longer treat him with the same attitude she used to treat children.Thinking of this, her mood suddenly became a little complicated, but Yuan Taro on the opposite side always looked relaxed.

Yuan Taro poured her a glass of water, pushed the glass in front of her, and sat down opposite her: "Please use it."

Every move is full of everyone's demeanor.

Maya couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.She nodded, said "thank you", and took a sip from the cup.

The water temperature is just right, and my stomach warms up after a sip of water.Hara Taro waited patiently for her to finish drinking, and then said slowly: "First of all, I apologize for my behavior just now. Because what I am going to say now is not suitable for so many outside audiences to know, so I did not ask for your consent. I disconnected the wire directly, I am very sorry."

"..."

——If you say sorry after everything has been done, then what's the use of the police?

Although he couldn't help slandering silently in his heart, Maki knew that even if he didn't do it, he would unplug the wire himself, it was just a matter of time difference.So she didn't express too much opinion, but shook her head and put down the water glass.

"Compared to this, I want to know more." She raised her head and looked at the quiet boy opposite, "Who are you?"

If it was said that the Harataro who seriously didn't fit the child's setting in front of him was the same person as the rambunctious brat, she wouldn't believe it even if she was killed.

However, Harataro tilted his head, with a pure face: "I am Asakami Harataro."

"Liar."

"Sister Mami, I won't do such things as deceiving people." Yuan Taro stroked his chin in an old-fashioned way, "However, I am indeed a little different from the Yuan Taro you get along with—— um... Let's put it this way."

He thought about it for a while, and said, "——I can be regarded as the second Asakami Harataro living in this body."

Mami was stunned.This conclusion is unexpected, but it is reasonable to think about it carefully.She quickly thought of an answer: "...multiple personalities?"

"It can be explained in this way." Yuan Taro nodded approvingly, "I can perceive everything he encounters, but he doesn't know my existence. We coexist as one, and as the second personality, I am usually in a deep sleep , I only wake up when I need to—haha, it seems like I am the dominant personality.”

Zhenya understood: "So, those before..."

"—It's not me."

Hara Taro lowered his head slightly: "However, I can't shirk my responsibility. I'm sorry, Sister Maki. I'm sorry for what my main character has done."

To be apologized so solemnly by a little boy, but in fact the so-called mistake was not made by the other party at all, Mami was a little embarrassed.She quickly waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care at all: "It's okay...but why are you telling me this?"

Hara Taro was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "How does Sister Mami see an existence like me?"

"Huh?" Mami was startled, apparently not expecting him to ask this question.She thought about it for a while, and replied honestly: "Hmm... a little... it's a bit beyond common sense. I just heard about it before, but today I saw it in a game that said it was a live broadcast... It feels a bit subtle."

"...Is that so?" Harataro laughed, "but Miss Mami, if you say that, don't you think Mr. Hatta and Mr. Akagi are more 'beyond common sense'?"

Mami was stunned.

After he said this, Shinya realized that after getting along with everyone in Barbara for a long time, she even ignored the fact that "the existence of capable people is so abnormal".

"Also," Hara Taro raised his head and stared at her, with a soft but unquestionable tone, "In the eyes of most people, you are also such an 'abnormal existence', Sister Mami."

……

Under such heart-pounding rhetoric, Shinya was speechless for a moment.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case.

Although the profession of Butei is closer to reality than outsiders and multiple personalities, it is still very illusory to ordinary people.After all, most people have never seen Butei with their own eyes. When they see this kind of agent-like setting, they will subconsciously feel that this is a character in a science fiction movie.

With such a comparison, Shinya also felt that he was not qualified to say that others were "abnormal".

She lowered her head slightly, a little guilty: "I'm sorry."

"...No, no, it's okay, Sister Maki, I didn't say this to make you apologize." Hara Taro waved his hand, "I mean, don't you think it's weird?"

……strangeness?

Seeing Mami's blank expression, the boy's eyes gradually became serious: "So far you have met three contestants, but these three contestants are not normal people. So, do you think this is really just a coincidence, or Is this actually a common phenomenon?"

"—Sister Miya, have you ever thought about what kind of people the other contestants are?"

Mami was stunned.

——A monster far stronger than ordinary people.

- Enclosed building.

An extremely bold guess gradually emerged in her mind.This kind of guessing made her a little hard to accept, but she couldn't control her desperate thoughts.

She opened her mouth dryly, and struggled to speak: "You mean..."

"Yes." Hara Taro nodded and said, "I suspect that the contestants this time are not randomly selected, but selective. The purpose is-"

"—specifically for those with special abilities."

Maki murmured.She raised her head, looked at Yuan Taro, and frowned slightly: "But, even if you say that, does the Qiuben Group really have that ability? And I don't know the identities of the other contestants at all."

The boy sighed, took out the terminal, unlocked it, clicked on the gallery icon, and held it in front of her.

The photo showed a red-haired boy in a white shirt, and he was confronting Hatta in the picture, with a dissatisfied expression on his childish face.

"This is the Blue Clan——Daomingji Andy under secpter4. As you can see, he is a capable person just like Mr. Hatta and the others."

With a swipe of his finger, he pulled out the next photo.

"Although this person wearing a high school boy uniform, glasses, and a tear mole in the corner of his eye is not an ability user, but when I took this photo, he was reading an original Russian book. From this point of view, he should Has an extraordinary learning ability, as for the others, I still can't know."

He slid to the next photo.

"There are also these two people. Don't look at them as middle school students, but as far as I know, they seem to be secretly conducting underground activities—well, they are the legendary mafia."

Hara Taro explained the past one by one, and his identities became more and more strange.The more Zhenya listened, the more frightened she became, and in the end she even gave up thinking.It wasn't until she saw a photo that she suddenly came back to her senses.

She stared at the twin sisters with distinctive features in the photo, dumbfounded: "This, this is..."

"This is a pair of twins." Yuan Taro said blankly, "From the outside, there is nothing strange, but the personality is very weird. Think about it, twins with completely different clothes and personalities... Sister Mami, what do you do? Did you know them?"

——It’s not just acquaintance?Can't be more familiar, okay?Living together under one roof for two years, what is your relationship? !

After all, why are they here? !

Maki really wanted to yell in such a self-defeating manner, but reason still made her suppress this desire.She smiled wryly and shook her head: "No, it's nothing... Yuan Taro, do you know what their names are?"

Hara Taro looked at her strangely for a while, then looked away, and a faint smile appeared on the immature face of a child: "I'm sorry, Sister Mami, they didn't mention my name."

……

After the boy analyzed the matter logically and methodically, Shinya had to believe it even if he didn't want to believe it.

She relaxed a little weakly, leaned on the sofa, stared up at the ceiling, and let out a sigh of regret: "...As expected, it is still difficult to accept emotionally."

I thought it was just an ordinary sneak search, but I didn't want to be involved in a big trouble inexplicably, and I couldn't even find a way out.And the origin of all this is due to her willfulness.Thinking of this, Maki became more and more worried about the other three partners who had not heard from him.

"Why?" Hara Taro sipped his saliva and looked at her suspiciously, "Isn't the matter already clear? Is there anything else to doubt?"

Maki lowered her eyelids slightly, staring at the water glass in her hand in a daze.The surface of the water stirred up tiny ripples with her movements, reminding her of a lake where a pebble fell into it.

"...No, it's just my own reasons."

Whether it is intellectually or emotionally, Shinya cannot accept the fact that "the third party who once intervened in his parents' marriage is a big boss behind the scenes".

——In any case, this psychological gap is too great.

Mingming thought that after becoming stronger, she could feel proud, and proudly said to the woman who ruined her family, "We are doing well now", but the reality hit her hard in the face and pitted her into Qi Mulisa again. in the trap.

I really suck at myself.

While Mami was sulking in frustration, Harataro didn't bother to bother, but silently helped her fill up the water.Mami was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Yuan Taro: "Speaking of which, I still can't understand why you said this to me."

Don't most people think that the deeper this kind of secret is hidden, the better?How could someone casually disclose such things as dual personality to a person whom he has only known for a short time?

Harutaro froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

He put down the cup, stared at her with a smile, his eyes sparkled slightly, which inexplicably made Zhenya feel creepy: "I just want to tell you that you are different from those people."

"……Eh?"

"Sister Maki, do you realize the value of your body?"

After the voice fell, the room was silent.

A drop of water fell on the table, making a slight sound.The broken wires on the ground are no longer discharging, and the scorched ends of the wires have returned to silence in silence.

It took a long time for Maki to recover from the state of shock.She looked dumbly at the boy with a bewildered smile, opened her mouth, and was about to say something——

"Bang! Bang bang bang!!"

In the next second, a violent knock on the door mixed with a roar interrupted what she was about to say.
