"...In the end, I just dealt with him like this, like that, and then like this again! Hmph, so what about those who read the ability? I'm not afraid! Brother always underestimates people..."

"Hmm, um!" I was brushing my teeth, watching Yan gesturing in front of me, happily telling how she dealt with a mental ability user in a battle.

Since the last time I recruited those from the first team and they used their mind to suppress the demonstration, I have always felt guilty about Yan.After all, on our side, everyone has the ability to read, or it is a freak like me, only the smoke does not open the read, and it has suffered a lot.

In order to improve the team relationship, after thinking hard, I took out a key chain from my body, the kind that can be hung on the body, the pendant is a pocket knife that can be opened, and I gave Cigarette as an apology gift.

Of course, in order to treat all people equally (rain and dew are all covered), I also gave Madge a small walnut comb and Parker a small mirror. Asked Kuroro to escort me, and quietly obtained it with the language of speech.

With a gift to open the way, smoke itself is not a fussy temperament. With my deliberate overtures, the relationship between the two of us has obviously improved to a higher level.In this way, Lan, who dotes on her younger sister, has nothing to say——I am so witty!

"Lydia, are you alright? I'm leaving." Kuroro called me outside.

"Okay, okay, come!" I mumbled with a mouth full of toothpaste foam, took a sip of the mineral water next to me, rinsed my mouth, and waved to Yan in a hurry , ran out of the shed.

I spit out the mouthwash on the ground, raised my head and said to Kuroro, "Let's go, let's go. Do you need to bring anything?"

"It's fine to bring someone along." Ignoring my excitement, Kuroro held my hand and said, "Say good night to everyone, let's go."

I obediently turned around and waved goodnight to everyone.

Until I got far away, I heard Feitan's giggling: "Kulolo, are you a father? Lydia is ten years old this year, not one year old!"

It was evening at this time, with the last rosy clouds hanging in the sky, and the night was about to fall.

We're going to a vigil.

According to the practice of our small organization, vigils must be arranged on the garbage hills around the camp, so as not to be caught in the pot while sleeping.The candidates for the night watch take turns in each team, and it was my first time when it was my turn.

Before I came to the second district, the order of our night vigil was like this: Kuroro and Maggie, Feitan and Pike, Lan and Yan.Now with me, the arrangement becomes: Kuroro and me, Feitan and Madge, Yan and Pike, Lan.Is Lan the biggest, he took the initiative to say that he can do it himself.

Two days before I came, our team had just had a round, so until today, it was the turn of me and Kuroro to keep vigil again.

Honestly, I'm kind of excited.

By the time we climbed to the top of the garbage mountain, it was almost completely dark.The treatment of the night watchman was pretty good. A small shed was specially built on the top of the mountain, which was regarded as a sentry post that did not shelter from the wind but only sheltered from the rain.

In view of the garbage on the ground, Kurolo brought a blanket and spread it on the ground, and we sat on the blanket with our backs leaning against the pillars of the arbor.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the wind blowing on the body is warm.But it will still be cold if you sit in the dark all night like this.

"Come closer, it gets colder here in the middle of the night." Kuroro said, pulling me closer and wrapping his arms around my shoulders.

I can't sit still.After a while, it was completely dark. I half-kneeled on the blanket, straightened up and looked around.It was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, but there was a hazy moonlight in the sky, separated by a thick layer of white mist, which was better than nothing.

The direction of the camp was pitch black, and everyone should have fallen asleep.

"I can't see anything," I whispered next to Kuroro, "so we don't know if someone is coming."

"Can't you listen with your ears?" Kuroro also spoke next to me, and we could barely see each other's silhouette.On the contrary, his hot breath sprayed on the side of my face, which was warm and itchy.

I listened attentively, and there was the sound of the wind blowing through the garbage, and the faint chirping of insects.

"But it's hard to tell." I murmured.

"Just be awake." Kuroro said, "There really is a murderer coming, and the excited breathing and heartbeat can't be concealed at all."

"Really? Have you ever met?" I faintly became excited.

"No. I guessed it." Kuroro said calmly.

"You fooled me." I was discouraged and accused, and squeezed towards him while talking.My face felt warm, I was the one who touched his face.I pouted and kissed him on the cheek.

"Don't make trouble." He hugged me, preventing me from scrambling in the darkness.

I blinked, and now the moon in the sky was darkened, and it was true that I couldn't see anything.I wonder if I'm a bit night blind, and I don't know if Kuroro can see better than me.

Anyway, the total darkness made me a little flustered.I didn't move any more, and lay down in Kuroro's warm arms honestly. His posture of holding me gave me a sense of security.

"It's so dark, I'm a little scared." I whispered.

"Are you afraid of the dark?" Kuroro asked.

I told him, "I just feel like I can't see anything, I'm sick...insecure."

"It might be good to get used to it for a while." Kuroro said, "Wait for the moon to come out."

"The moon is so lazy." I pouted.

"...Lydia, how old are you?" Kuroro said helplessly.

I giggled.

"To tell you the truth," relying on the darkness in front of my eyes, I became more courageous and told him, "I think I am about the same mental age as when I first met you—you know, I am not young at all."

"It's you, who have grown up a lot over the years." I said with relief.

"The childish ghost has the nerve to say it." Kuroro said unhappily, "You're peddling your theory of amnesia again."

I leaned against him and said happily, "I am amnesiac, I am proud."

This is not the case.

Although I don't know what I forgot, I have a vague feeling that I paid an extraordinary price... so much so that every time I think about it, I feel lost, like a huge stone is pressed against my heart.

Kuroro didn't speak anymore, his hand holding me shook violently - he was tickling my itch!

I am most afraid of this!I couldn't bear to writhe, giggled so hard that tears came out, and begged for mercy: "I'm not joking... Hahaha, it's so itchy! Hahaha!... Kurolo please Stop scratching! Haha, it's so itchy..."

Kuroro stopped mercifully, and I quickly rolled away from him.In his smug laughter, I gasped and said: "It's too much, and I will make a big move if there is a disagreement... Oh, I think the people below can hear me laughing!"

"It's not that exaggerated." Kuroro said with a smile.

I snorted and ignored him, wiping away tears from laughing.My body was sweating, and I felt cold immediately when I calmed down. I fumbled to find his hand to hold it, and moved back carefully, at least sitting on the blanket.

Kuroro let me hold it, his palm was as warm as a small stove.After a long while, he suddenly said, "Lydia, you have one more attack skill—even childishness can be contagious."

"...What!" I said angrily, and after a while I said softly, "Isn't it good to be childish? It means we are having a good time."

"What kind of nonsense is this?" Kuroro muttered.He held my hand instead and pulled it hard, making me sit next to him again, "You really have the ability to make all the people below look childish."

"I'm not capable." I ignored his ridicule, but repeated in a low voice.I took his hand with a little frustration, and said with a voice in my throat, "I just want to make you happy."

Chrollo was also silent for a while.

"Is this what you've been worrying about recently? Do you think I'm unhappy?" After a while, he asked, no longer in a playful tone.

I opened my mouth, hesitating and not knowing how to convey my feelings to him.

Before that, I spent a lot of time and money to investigate, and finally determined that the environment in the second district will indeed cause some pressure on Kuroro.Those overt or covert rejections, alienation, and even targeting undoubtedly made people feel irritable. Even I was so depressed that I wanted to kill myself several times.

But the problem is, Kurolo is not me.It is certain to say that this kind of atmosphere made him feel a little bored, but he was so affected that he changed his behavior and even used murder as an outlet. That would be too small for Kuroro.If it’s just this level, those people, all of them added up, don’t have this ability yet.

And more importantly, according to my observations, the people represented by the first team, from their behavior, especially the captain Ramon, seemed to be wooing us to submit to us at the beginning.The reason why the two sides have come to such a tense situation today is, on the one hand, because Kuroro has a tough attitude and refuses to let go of the command of the team;

Therefore, the most intuitive, what I think, the reasons for Kuroro's bloodthirsty are all results in the end, and the results cannot be turned into causes.

So to take a step back, maybe it is not venting, but the situation is compelling?I have personally experienced the process of robbing garbage in the second district, and I have also encountered more brutal robberies later. It can be said that the degree of danger of fighting here is far better than those we have experienced before.

Perhaps it was because the environment was too dangerous that Kuroro had to resort to thunderous means, to sharpen himself and frighten the world in this way?I think this is very possible, but seeing him, Feitan, and everyone's attitudes in battle every day, I feel that I have exaggerated the danger too much.

In order to solve this doubt, I found Feitan.

"Huh? Was it dangerous when you first came here?"

Fei Tan was at a loss for my question, and a blank expression rarely appeared on his delicate face.He thought for a while and said, "That depends on how you define danger. Life and death are rare, and injuries are commonplace."

"Shall we go all the way in? The stronger the enemy, the stronger the strength. That's all." Fei Tan looked back at the bloody past and said casually.

"Then... is there a lot of pressure? Does it have to be particularly ruthless to deter the enemy? Have you ever been sought for revenge?" I asked.

Fei Tan frowned, and looked at me suspiciously: "What exactly do you want to ask?"

I looked around, but I didn't see Kuroro's figure, so I hesitated to express my concerns.

"Thirsty?" Fei Tan's long and narrow golden eyes widened for a moment, and then he looked at me with a smile on his face, "You've been sneaking around these two days, and you're thinking about this?"

"I'm worried..." I said coyly, and then I became really worried, frowning and said: "You know, this..."

"I know." Fei Tan said, with a hoarse voice and a gloomy tone: "Killing people is addictive."

I was startled, nodded hurriedly, and said solemnly: "Yes! You said this..." I paused, and I was able to say this to Fei Tan: "... I have changed my temperament, but why? What should we do? No matter what the reason is, it’s not worth the candle!”

Fei Tan nodded in a serious manner, and after nodding twice, he couldn't help bursting out laughing: "Pfft! Hahaha——Turning away! Hahahaha——" He laughed so hard that he slapped his thighs and couldn't straighten up.

I froze for a moment, realized that he was teasing me, and stomped my feet in embarrassment and annoyance: "Fetan!"

It wasn't until Feitan had laughed enough that he expressed sympathy for my slumped head and frustration, and then gave me some pointers: "I think your direction is wrong."

"Ok?"

"Are you out of your mind? Is Kurolo the kind of person who will change himself because of the environment? His stubborn arrogance..." Fei Tan analyzed, "He will do this only because he wants to Do, for no other reason."

I nodded again and again in agreement.To say I understand, I only know Kurolo better than Feitan.Hearing what he said, I could see the light of day in my heart—it was all about concern before chaos!

"You said that Kuroro was bloodthirsty, and I also discovered that." Feitan said, "But that's not..." He hesitated when he said this, and looked at me hesitantly, and we looked at each other.

"...Isn't that because of you?" He raised his voice at the end, uncertainly.

eh eh?

"How could it be because of me?!" I almost jumped up, I dare not take this blame!

"Isn't it because of you!"

Instead, Feitan was sure, rubbed his chin and said, "Let me just say, Lydia, since you're gone, Kuroro's whole body is not right. It's nothing to kill someone, he's almost closed himself for a while .”

"Autistic?" I seriously suspected that Fei Tan was cheating on me again, it seemed like something he did.

"You don't believe me?" Feitan glanced at me, held back a smirk, and imitated Kuroro's behavior at that time: "Just do it like this. Kill them all. Yes. I don't agree. Kill them all... "

"Why is this abnormal? You have learned too much." I disagreed.

Fei Tan looked at me with distaste: "I'll just ask you, does Kuroro usually talk a lot of nonsense?"

I hesitated and said: "...Anyway, it's not like cherishing words like gold."

I kind of understand what he means.

"Not long after we first came to the second district, Kuroro talked very little for a while, didn't say a word of nonsense, and he never smiled except for a sneer." Fei Tan said vividly, "The whole person is gloomy, and he will do it when he disagrees. The enemy he likes can be caught by him even if he runs to the sky, and he will break the bones one by one."

As Feitan spoke, his expression became cold and serious, "Because Kuroro is really ruthless, those old things really don't look down on us anymore, and we have all the benefits that we should have in the cooperation. Madge and Pike, we'll have to suffer some more..."

He stopped and looked at me in surprise: "Why are you crying?"

My eyes were red, holding back my tears, and I said stubbornly, "I didn't cry! I, I'm just sad..."

Wiping away my tears fiercely, I choked up and said, "You guys have suffered! If, if only I were here..."

"Cut," Fei Tan gave me a disdainful look, "What a face."

"Don't cry." He said impatiently, stretched out his hand, with a look of disgust on his face: "Do you want to hug again?"

I smiled through tears, wiped away my tears, sniffed and said, "Stop crying. Let's continue... Then you say," I asked Fei Tan's opinion, "Is it not good for Kuroro to be like this?" ?”

Fei Tan thought for a while, and said: "It's still as good as before. But he is already leaning back. Didn't you see that he started mother-in-law again recently?"

He patted me on the shoulder, "Lydia, this is all thanks to you! Kuroro can rely on you."

"What..." I laughed, and then confirmed: "Really?"

Fei Tan nodded, and said again: "If you are worried, why don't you ask Ma Qi again."

"March?"

"That little girl is chattering, her intuition is terrifying."

I haven't figured out how to find March, after all, I also have to maintain Kuroro's prestige, don't I?Maybe it's a bit embarrassing for me to worry about psychological problems like an old woman?

However, I recalled the letter that Madge wrote to me. In the letter, it was said that Kuroro killed people too fiercely. There is a layer of cause and effect implied. It seems that if I come back, this problem can be solved?

It would be great if that were the case.

Back to this moment.

In the dark, I couldn't see Kuroro's face, but I just pressed his shoulder against his shoulder, holding his warm palm tightly.

"How should I put it... Anyway, I just think you are unhappy. I see you killing a lot of people every day... I'm a little worried about you. I'm sorry." I said softly.

"Why did you say sorry?" Kuroro asked softly.

"I don't know." I didn't know why I was so sad, I lowered my eyes, and tears overflowed again.I leaned over and hugged his shoulders, put my head on his shoulders, and said with a bit of sobs, "I don't know... I just want you to be well. But I don't even know how to help you... Kuroro, in my heart sad……"

"Don't say I'm sorry." In the dark, Kuroro hugged me instead, bowed his head and kissed my crying eyes, his voice was soft: "Don't be sad, I'm not unhappy. Really."

I hugged him like a drowning man on driftwood, feeling terribly embarrassed, glad we couldn't see each other clearly.Taking a deep breath, I simply said everything frankly.

This is Kuroro, there is nothing that cannot be said to him.

"...That's it." I really couldn't hold back my words, and I poured out the mental journey of the past two days. In the end, I felt naughty, so I pushed his knee and said, "So what are you thinking? Yes? Tell me."

"Are you bloodthirsty?" Kuroro murmured, "Is there? ... It seems a little bit, but there is no reason for it. If you want to kill, kill it."

He asked me seriously: "Lydia, don't you like me killing people?"

"I didn't!" I retorted fiercely, almost fainting to him with my hands on my chest.What is this ability to focus?You give me back my brilliant Kuroro!

"I don't care how many people you kill—I only care about you!" I explained to myself, "I only worry that you did it because you were unhappy! The more unhappy you kill, the more you kill the more unhappy, and finally What about depression?"

I'm not ashamed to say it, the original words in my heart were "what should I do if I become abnormal in the end".If Kuroro becomes an antisocial personality, a murderous maniac, etc., I have nowhere to cry.

"How is it possible? You're thinking wildly again." Kuroro said, "I told you that I'm not unhappy."

"Really?" I stared at the direction of his face in the dark, as if to see a flower.

"Even if I was a little irritable before, it's over now." Kuroro said softly, "And you guessed it, what kind of hostility from people around you, having to kill everything to make others afraid..." He laughed "I don't care at all, and I haven't thought about it."

"Krollo..."

He cut off my words, and said lightly and quickly: "I just miss you a little bit."

I heard his words clearly, but I didn't seem to hear clearly. There was a "buzz" in my head, like water droplets hitting the surface of a mirror-like lake, making ripples around and around, making people dizzy.

For a while we didn't speak again.

The moon was long overdue, and finally she was willing to poke her head out from behind the layers of fog, and shed a bit of stingy brilliance.Kuroro's face was vaguely outlined at a very close distance.

After a long time, I said softly, "Are you...are you acting like a baby?"

Before Kuroro became angry, I jumped up happily, hugged his neck, and said affectionately: "What about you now? Are you happy?" I'm right here.

"...You'll be happy if you don't strangle my neck." Kuroro said a little short of breath.

I adjusted the position of my arms, still hung on him, hid my smile in the crescent of his neck, opened my heart, and whispered softly: "I like Kuroro the most. I will always be here."

So you don't have to worry, you don't have to be afraid of anything.I will always be at your side.

do you know?I woke up with a blank heart, and the first thing I saw was you.How important you are to me, I don't even dare to get to the bottom of it.

I just want you to be happy forever.Do my best.

"Of course." Kuroro said calmly, while silently tightening his arms around me.

After a long time, Kuroro and I spoke at the same time:

"Actually, is it a habit?"

"The current style of play is a habit."

With a knowing smile, I nestled in his arms and whispered, "If it's unnecessary killing, it's not good at all."

"Does it need to be changed?" Kurolo didn't think so.

I pondered and suggested: "Why don't you want to kill someone next time, I will kill for you."

"No need."

"I'm very good!" I don't want to be underestimated.

Kurolo smiled.

"Honestly." I tugged at him, "I don't think you took too much effort to kill. Since it's not a practice, wouldn't it be the same if I came. Let's get rid of your bad habits first."

Killing is fine, but we are still human after all, at least we shouldn't enjoy it.

Having said that, it is only natural for people to hate killing people, right?

"Honestly, I don't feel anything." Kuroro finally said, "But it doesn't matter, as you like."

After talking to Kuroro, I let go of the big rock in my heart. I felt extremely relaxed, but I accidentally——

"Wake up, it's dawn." Kuroro pushed me awake.

I looked up from his shoulder, blinking sleepily, just in time to see the whitening skyline.

"Hey! I actually fell asleep..." I suddenly sat up straight and said.

"You didn't sleep long." Kuroro said.He stood up, stretched his arms and legs, rolled up the blanket and said, "Let's go, we can go down now."

I yawned and followed behind him, my sleepy eyes were fluffy: "We still have to grab the trash as usual today, right? Are you sleepy?"

"That's right. I'm so sleepy," Kuroro said.

"Speaking of which, I have saved enough money to buy a pot." I yawned one after another, and my voice was lazily sleepy, "Let's be lazy today and come back early to cook instant noodles."

"it is good."

"Don't go to clear the field, and I won't go either. Let them live today. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep on the battlefield. Be careful too."

"Good good..."

"Ha, it's a new day."

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to use the words of Kuroro and Feitan to write about their previous days, but in the end it was just passing by.It's true that character determines destiny. After so many bloody storms came, what they said was just such an understatement.And it's not about taking things lightly, it's really not taking it to heart.

Probably for Kuroro, talking about those people and things is more meaningful than talking to Lydia.

Therefore, the next chapter is a side story, writing about some things that happened that winter.Of course, everyone, don't think too badly about them, there is no need to bear the burden of humiliation, some people are destined to be born to kill the Quartet.

ps I got stuck writing extra episodes!It's a pity for two full days, and now I feel sick when I see the document... I regret to tell everyone that I am Cavin, and I can't hold back the manuscript, so there will be no update in the next few days.I'll be back on the 19th, let's talk when I come back, I'm looking for inspiration on the way.

I know, I skipped the ticket, I am guilty! ! !But I'm really not lazy, writing is hard work, everyone pats on the back.

In addition, if you have any thoughts on the article, you can also talk about it, so that I can plan the plot later.Thanks! by Meng Shu
