The host is a willful great devil

【2】

The black-haired man threw himself into the big soft bed, and lay panting alone in the silent darkness.

After a while, he squeezed out a word between his teeth, "Damn."

The phone rang, and the black-haired man picked it up and glanced at the number on the screen. He let out a barely audible sigh in the darkness, and then threw the phone aside.

The ringing probably lasted until the other party received an automatic voice prompt before being quiet, but the message ringing followed one after another.The black-haired man struggled to take a glance at his phone——

"Bai Qing, you bastard! How dare you refuse to answer my phone! If you don't appear in my sight within 5 hours, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

From the punctuation marks, you can really feel the other party's growling and blowing hair.

Glancing at the time on the screen, it was 18:57 in the evening.

Today is the birthday of Bai Qing and the person on the other end of the phone. In 5 hours, this day will pass.

Bai Qing put his arms on his forehead and smiled wryly, "I don't want you to worry, An Sheng."

……

An Sheng, the cheap younger brother Bai Qing picked up on Soul Eater Street.That year, Bai Qing was 9 years old and An Sheng was 5 years old.

As long as Bai Qing can remember, there has been an indestructible common sense in his mind - food must be robbed.

Dozens of garbage trucks come to the outer C17 area regularly every day to dump garbage down the huge garbage mountain, and this is where Bai Qing competes for food.

He suffered countless injuries, large and small, in the daily battle for food, but the results were not optimistic.

Because he was too weak at that time.

It is so weak that it can only pick up a little food scraps after being punched and kicked a lot for no reason.

That day, when Bai Qing returned contentedly with footprints and bruises all over his body, holding a tattered and moldy bun, he suddenly saw a skinny little Douding standing pitifully by the side of the road. The boy opened his sleeve and opened his mouth to say something, but it seemed that he didn't say a word, and the boy pushed him away violently without any explanation.

Bai Qing fell down when he saw that weak little Douding.

But that scene was so unreal—it looked like a mechanical doll whose life had come to an end, falling apart and broken.

The children in front walked by one by two, but no one paid attention to him.Bai Qing watched Xiao Douding trying very hard to stand up again, but it was so futile, like a dying struggle.

Bai Qing walked to Xiao Douding's side and pulled him up.Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Douding grabbed his sleeve.

Bai Qing stopped, and found that Xiao Douding was staring at the tattered bun in his hand, and then raised his head to look at him with an extremely longing gaze.

Bai Qing didn't push him away roughly like the young boy in front, but he withdrew his hand indifferently and left without looking back.

——In a place like Soul Eater Street, if you want to survive, you have to rely on your own hands.Want to get something for nothing?snort.

Every day after that, Bai Qing could see Xiao Douding.He watched him being pushed away again and again, struggling to get up again and again, tirelessly and desperately pestering those passing by for food.

Every time Bai Qing walked past him, he would reach out and pull him up.

But nothing else.

After a while, Xiao Douding could only lie on the ground and pull the ankles of passers-by.However, the people in Soul Eater Street have no feelings.He took their hands, and they waved them away just because they were too lazy to waste their energy.But now Xiaodouding lay down on the ground and pulled their ankles, no one would be polite, they just kicked them directly.

Bai Qing did not go along with them.

He just bypasses it.

But while avoiding it, his gaze was involuntarily fixed on Xiaodouding.He restrained himself from looking at it, but the image of Xiaodouding lying on the side of the road like a worn-out rag doll, as if he would die at any moment, even if he just caught a glimpse of it, would stay in his mind for a long time.He didn't know what kind of feeling he had in his heart, he just kept wondering whether Xiao Douding would be here the next time he came.

Half a month later, Xiao Douding was still there, but he was dying.

"En." Bai Qing stretched out his hand, holding a small green apple in his palm.It looks very sour, so sour that it is hard to swallow.

But for people who are hungry to the point of death, it is undoubtedly the supreme delicacy.

Xiao Douding, who was lying on the ground, moved his eyes and shifted his gaze to Bai Qing's face.

Bai Qing sighed, broke the apple in half, and handed one half to Xiaodouding's mouth, "Can I still eat it?"

Xiaodouding opened his mouth, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" he took a big bite and chewed hard.

"You..." Bai Qing sat cross-legged beside him, swallowed what he wanted to say.He looked up at the crowd looting for food in the distance, and then at the little Douding in front of him who looked like dry wood. He seemed to be only 4 or 5 years old. He was so young, what could he do by himself?It seems that apart from praying for alms here, there is really no way to support myself.If you go to compete with those "beasts" for food, I'm afraid you will die faster.

After eating half of the apple, Xiao Douding seemed to have regained some strength, stretched out both hands to grab Bai Qing's right hand holding the other half of the apple, and brought it to his mouth, eating like a very hungry little animal.

How did you grow up so big?It seems that no one has given himself alms.Bai Qing looked at Xiao Douding and thought.

Xiao Douding ate up all the apples, and started grabbing Bai Qing's hand to lick the apple juice on his hand.

Itchy fingers and palms.Bai Qing withdrew his hand and glared at Xiao Douding.Xiao Douding looked at him, blinking his big eyes innocently.

Bai Qing took out something wrapped in a leaf and peeled it open under Xiao Douding's expectant gaze - a grilled small white fish.The fish is not big, and it is only as long as an adult's palm from head to tail.

Bai Qing took off the head and tail of the fish, tore off the meat bit by bit, picked out the fish bones, and then fed it to Xiao Douding.Seeing Xiao Douding's appearance of being hungry but obediently waiting to be fed, Bai Qing felt that he was a bit like some kind of cute little animal.

It's not bad to keep it like this.For a moment, he thought.

But the next second he warned himself, no.After all, he is exhausted to feed himself every day.Although there are many natural ingredients in the Lost Forest in the northwest, they are easy to get and good-looking, and they have long been snatched away by strong and powerful overlords.So I ran to work hard for this day and only got such a sour fruit and a small white fish.What's more, in spring and winter, Mizong Forest still has edible food, but the output is much less than summer and autumn, and it's not delicious, so many people will hoard food.Xiao Douding obviously can't be his helper, but just a drag bottle.

Moreover, judging by the child's appearance, it is estimated that when he grows up...

Bai Qing shook his head and concentrated on feeding.

What do you want to do in the long run?I don't know what my future will be like.

……

The days passed slowly like this.

"If you want me to tell you a few times, don't follow me!" Bai Qing turned around and yelled, seeing Xiao Douding trembling with fright, he immediately lost his temper.

Xiao Douding's small body was trembling because of being too tense, and her tender little fingers were stirring back and forth uneasily in front of her body, but the expression on her face was very stubborn, as if "I'm going to follow you" .

Holding his breath, Bai Qing stared at him, opened his mouth several times, but in the end he couldn't say anything, he just turned his head and speeded up to get rid of Xiao Douding, and then made up his mind not to give him food again.

But he couldn't remember how many times he had made such a determination.

Then one day, the kid king in the area where Bai Qing often hangs out finally bullied Bai Qing.They pushed Bai Qing down the rubbish mountain, watched him roll down from the ruins full of protruding wires, broken glass, and concrete blocks, clapping and laughing.

Bai Qing felt that his body was in great pain from being scratched, but before he could utter a cry of pain, his body hit a whole concrete slab interspersed with rusty iron bars, and an iron bar pierced through him. His chest cavity, and then the iron bar protruding from another angle cut his throat.

He only heard himself making a sound like a leak.The sound was completely drowned out by the screams of the rest of the children.

Bai Qing felt very painful, very cold, dizzy, and nauseous.

He never knew that "discomfort" and "pain" could reach this level.In comparison, the pain of the previous falls, scratches, and festering wounds were all so insignificant.

Lying on the cement slab like a skewer pierced by a rod, staring at the misty gray sky, he realized that he was going to die.

He was still very young, but he had seen too many deaths on Soul Eater Street.But, is it my turn so soon?

Bai Qing struggled to keep his eyes open and stared at the gray sky, but felt that the light was gradually dimming—his vision was fading.The indescribable severe pain also seemed to be gradually withdrawn from his body-his feeling was fading.But his mind is very clear at this time, because he only thinks about one thing - I don't want to die.

That wish is like big characters written in shocking blood on a pure white baseboard, like the shouts of thousands of people echoing in an open field, like a belief that has been pursued at all costs in a lifetime, warm, focused, and urgent.

It's a pity that although Bai Qing opened his eyes unwillingly, the sky he saw was dark after all...

However, after an unknown amount of time, Bai Qing found himself regaining consciousness.

He pulled his body out of the iron bar on which he was burned, and dragged a trail of blood away from the sight of all the children, but it didn't cause much commotion—the children didn't understand this, after all, they were beaten all over Soul Eater Street every day It was blood, and there were too many demon kings who came out alive and kicking around the next day, and Bai Qing was not dead, so the children didn't think there was anything wrong, and it wasn't even worth talking about.

Only gradually, the children grew up, and the teenagers who were much bigger than Bai Qing realized that they could no longer bully Bai Qing. More than a dozen people surrounded him, and the one who was bleeding first was undoubtedly Bai Qing , but Bai Qing will not fall, and if he falls, he can get up again until he beats them bloody, or even kills them.

The teenagers are no longer ignorant children, they are aware of Bai Qing's abnormality.

The teenagers also began to gradually enter the influence of the adults, and would reflect to the adults that Bai Qing was a monster.But the adults don't care.

Bai Qing already had the ability to snatch abundant food, so he generously distributed it to Xiao Douding, who had also grown up a lot.Under Bai Qing's feeding, Xiao Douding no longer looked half-dead.

Despite repeated defeats, Xiao Douding still perseveres in trying to get close to Bai Qing.Because he was always thrown off by Bai Qing mercilessly and couldn't catch up after him, Xiao Douding knew that he was not so close to Bai Qing, but kept swaying within Bai Qing's line of sight.

The teenagers realize that Xiao Douding and Bai Qing are in the same group, and if they can't bully Bai Qing, they want to find Xiao Douding's trouble and express their anger.But Xiao Douding is with Bai Qing, in other words, Xiao Douding is covered by Bai Qing.That's why the teenagers, who were afraid of Bai Qing's lustful power, didn't dare to make a move.

But there are always some bear children who want to do bad things but dare not do them, so they ask adults to support them.So the real demons and goblins on Soul Eater Street came. They chased and intercepted the panicked Xiao Douding in a natural and righteous manner, and they were full of interest in the process.

Because, the "market demand" of a cute-looking little boy like Xiao Douding in Soul Eater Street is comparable to that of a woman.

"boom!"

The dilapidated iron door suddenly made a dull impact, and the rusty hinges made a strange "squeak" sound. Bai Qing, who was lying on the roof of the building blowing wind with a piece of dogtail in his mouth, turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw it was facing him. Little Douding ran over in panic.

And a long string of tails following him.

Xiao Douding strode over, plopped and knelt beside Bai Qing, clutching his arm tightly and looking at him with tears in his eyes.

The hooligans stopped, and the young man who followed pointed to Bai Qing and told the leading adult that he was that monster.

The adult took two glances at Bai Qing, raised his short thick eyebrows with scars, and asked with disdain, "Boy, what's your name?"

Bai Qing didn't pay attention at all, just sat up and frowned and looked at the little Douding who was shaking like chaff in front of him.

A tear fell on the back of Bai Qing's hand with a "pop".It was a little warm when it first fell, and then cooled down quickly.But Bai Qing felt that something was burned.

He moved his gaze from the back of his hand to Xiaodouding's face—this guy... cried.

It's ugly.

Obviously every time I look over, Xiaodouding is smiling, a little silly, a little stupid.But...it's nice to see.

"I'm asking you something! Are you fucking deaf?!" The adult impatiently approached aggressively with a steel pipe.

Bai Qing also clicked his tongue impatiently, stood up and looked down at Xiao Douding who was kneeling at his feet and said to himself, "It's so troublesome. Why should I protect you?"

Having said that, he stepped forward with one step, blocking Xiaodouding behind him.

Bai Qing: "It's not easy for everyone to live. You go, I don't want to do anything."

The adult in the lead was taken aback by the arrogant tone of the thin and weak boy in front of him, and then sneered after a few seconds, and looked back at the seven or eight brothers behind him, and the group of people laughed "hahahaha" together.

Bai Qing stood there and looked at them coldly, calm and indifferent.

"What's the matter? You gasp when you say you're fat, and you really get arrogant when someone says you're a monster?" The man laughed mockingly, and rushed over holding the steel pipe, "Fucking old man, I'll call you today!" See what a real monster is!"

……

With a "crack", the two steel pipes dripping blood fell freely from the blood-stained hands and rolled twice on the concrete floor. Because of the obstruction of the sticky blood, they quickly stopped.

Bai Qing stood silently among the bloodstains and disfigured corpses all over the roof, drenched in blood, like a Rakshasa.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Douding, who was kneeling and watching all this in a daze, as if he had been frightened out of his wits, and his heart sank for no reason.

Was he afraid of himself?

Will he run away from himself?

I want to... live like a walking dead without any attachments, right?

Bai Qing lowered his eyelids slowly, and when he was about to look away, he saw Xiao Douding's big dark eyes, still stained with tears, move.Their eyes met, and Xiao Douding showed him a smile with shining small white teeth.

Still stupid, still stupid, but... still pretty.

It was as if every time before, when he "accidentally" cast his eyes on Xiaodouding who was dangling in his field of vision, he found that Xiaodouding seemed to be watching him all the time.When Xiao Douding saw Bai Qing looking at him, he was like a puppy that was rarely blessed by his master, smiling brightly and cheerfully as always.

"I didn't notice the crowds just now. One ran away. I guess there will be a lot of trouble in the near future. Find a place to hide yourself." Bai Qing said, walking past Xiaodouding with his bloodstains on his body, pushing away the door on the roof. Iron Gate left.

The trouble Bai Qing said came quickly, he was blocked by a group of people after he walked half a street away from the abandoned building.Bai Qing was seriously injured, he didn't want to fight needlessly, so he turned around and ran away, but the other party obviously didn't want to let him go.

But this time, Bai Qing just realized what the real "devils" are, not because they are powerful enough, but because they are crazy enough.

Bai Qing was captured alive.They used thick hemp ropes to fix his limbs and neck to the table, and then used nine thick iron rods to penetrate his wrists, ankles, shoulders, stomach and thighs.They cut his flesh with small knives, poured hot water on him, and broke his bones one by one... In short, only you can't think of it, and they can't do it without them.

They laughed wildly, enjoying the kinky sadism they had never seen before.Bai Qing's tragic screams are their feast, and Bai Qing's painful and distorted expression is their stimulant.They were excited like little kids discovering a new toy that is so durable.

When Bai Qing realized that his painful reaction would add fuel to the flames and arouse the endless sadistic desires of these devils, he began to learn to endure.In the end, the devils found that no matter what they did, the toy didn't respond at all, oh no, frowning is the biggest reaction.

So the devils got bored.

No response?What's the use of keeping your eyes, nose, ears and tongue?The devils cruelly dug them out of Bai Qing's body, threw him there as a sandbag, and returned after their daily "patrol" to continue their "feast".

Every day passes like a year, every second is so difficult.

Bai Qing wanted to die.

But he can't die.

A long time ago, he knew the hardships of living, but he still wanted to live.

Now, he understands the hardships of living better, but he shrinks back a little.

It's just that Bai Qing always thinks of Xiao Douding every time his consciousness is blurred.If he died like this, what would Xiao Douding do?He's so useless, he can't even grab food... and he's very likely to be...

Ah, I was thinking about useless things again... I don't know what will happen to me.

A week later, when the demons found that the earlier wounds on Bai Qing's body showed signs of healing, and the excavated organs tended to grow back, they were no longer excited, but panicked.As a result of their panic, they mutilated Bai Qing alive, then threw his body on the rubble and set it on fire.

After all, they just want to prove that the immortal body does not exist.

Because they don't want it to exist, it shouldn't exist.

"This time, are you really going to die?" Bai Qing stared at the scattered corpses and the fire spreading around him with the newly grown half-sized eyeballs in the hollow eye sockets, thinking to himself.

After these few years, Bai Qing has a general understanding of his abnormal body - he does not have an indestructible body, he will hurt when he is beaten, he will bleed when he is injured, and he will have diarrhea if he eats the wrong food... He thought, Maybe I just have a strong self-healing ability, not impossible to die.

And he wasn't strong enough to heal himself instantly.So this time, I am afraid that there is no way to recover.

There was a buzzing sound on his head, Bai Qing knew that it was his hair scorched by the high temperature.

Maybe it's just a long dream.Bai Qing closed his eyes and thought.Otherwise, how could there be a monster like himself?The rest of the body was burned like a mass of dead meat, and the only remaining incomplete head could still think normally?Burn it, burn it, maybe when this head loses consciousness, he can wake up from the dream.

Bai Qing waited to die with his eyes closed, but he heard a strange sound.

He opened his eyes, and suddenly saw a small figure rushing towards his head through the raging fire.

Bai Qing watched Xiao Douding pick up his head and walk through the fire, put his head gently and upright in a safe place, then quickly turned around and rushed into the fire...

Looking at the little figure swallowed by the flames, Bai Qing felt like crying for the first time.

He was worried, he was angry, he was angry... But compared to these, the emotion that occupied him the most was actually happiness.

He watched that little figure go back and forth into the fire again and again, gradually burning his hair, torn his clothes, and scorched his skin...

He watched the originally delicate and lovely face gradually become distorted and hideous under the violence of the flames, while the tears falling from Xiaodouding's eyes were still so crystal clear, warm when they first fell, and then became cold , but still burned Bai Qing.

The torrential rain did not know when it started to fall, mixed with Xiao Douding's tears, and slammed on Bai Qing's face.The sound of crashing rain made Xiao Douding's cry sound particularly helpless, lonely, and helpless.Bai Qing wanted to hug him, but he couldn't feel his body.He wanted to say a few words to comfort him, but his tongue and lips hadn't grown yet.He wanted to at least roll his eyes to indicate that Xiao Douding was not dead, but God knows what his eyes that can see the scene in a blur look like now.

Bai Qing felt heartbroken for the first time.

He stared at the gray rainy day, thinking about what he said at that time, "Why should I protect you?"

Now, the answer is here.
