Salvation equals death

Aoi is just an ordinary orphan in the slums of Yokohama, a seven-year-old child who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and is just an ant that may be crushed to death at any time in this city where the mafia is rampant.

Therefore, when her foothold turned into a battlefield of gangsters fighting, Aoi had no choice but to escape.

"A kid saw it just now and went to clean her up."

The devil's voice seemed to be still echoing in her ears. Relying on her thin body and familiarity with the slum routes, Aoi took advantage of the night to escape, but her body, which had not eaten for a day, was gradually exhausted, and the footsteps behind her did not stop.

"Front! Hurry up! Damn, these kids are all like mud eels."

"Hurry up and call it a day. It's much more convenient now than before. Just throw the corpse on the ground. Before, you had to think about how to destroy the corpse—"

Who can help me?The girl who was about to run out of the slum area was desperately looking for a chance of life. In a panic, she got into a church that had been abandoned for many years, and hid in a remote corner, holding back her tears.

"Search, people shouldn't be able to run far." The devil's murmur sounded far away, and Aoi stared at her bloody palm that had been scratched due to wrestling. Tears rolled down, but she forgot because of her violent heartbeat. pain.

The children in the slums don't believe in gods, but at this moment, Aoi sincerely prays to the gods who have never looked after her, even if it's just a glimmer of light, she is willing to die for it.

"Squeak—" The sound of the old and decayed wooden door being pushed open was piercing and abrupt in the night, and Aoi almost thought it was the sound of her heart beating still.

"Who?!" After the yelling, gunshots rang out without hesitation. The night belongs to the mafia. They never feel that it is a mistake to hurt innocent people, and they will only brutally and mercilessly destroy everything that stands in their way .

Just when Aoi was desperately preparing to accept her fate, a light suddenly came on at night.

The warm, soft, and winter sun-like radiance enveloped the entire church, and then the wailing and screams of the gangsters penetrated into Aoi's ears. She couldn't help but leaned on the wall and looked out cautiously go.

The girl in the black nun's uniform unfolded the golden cross, waved a large spear of light, and the sword formation condensed by light surrounded her, like stars guarding the moon.

In Aoi's eyes, those mafiosos that are terrifying and cruel are like ripe ears of rice under the hands of the nun. They are gently picked off by the nun's immature and soft hands, and within a short while they are extremely miserable and nailed by the light spear. on the ground.The young nun didn't seem to like seeing blood, or she thought that a holy place like a church shouldn't have cruel deaths, so she didn't kill anyone—none.

Aoi watched helplessly as the nun put on white gloves and threw the mafia out of the courtyard one by one. Her silver hair was like water, braided delicately, shining in the dark night.

The nun had a pair of tea-golden eyes, and when Aoi met those eyes in a daze, she suddenly came back to her senses, and was about to beg for mercy, but the nun's eyes flickered away, and quickly turned to the tombstone in the courtyard.

Aoi knelt down on the ground in a daze, watching the 12-year-old girl take out a broom to clean up the courtyard. She stabilized the wooden cross that was knocked crooked by the mafia, patted the dust on her hands, and then turned and walked back church.

She didn't drive Aoi away, but she didn't comfort her with compassion either.

Aoi didn't think the other party was wrong, after all, any weak ordinary person might be implicated by her tonight, and the ultimate pure white should not have appeared in the city of Yokohama.

Aoi calmed down for a while, and then managed to support her limp body and stood up. The church was lit, and a ray of bright light came through the windows, which seemed so soft and warm in this cold night.

She staggered to the wooden cross and looked at the name of the priest engraved on it, which belonged to the original owner of the church, but the old priest died three days ago because of being injured by a stray bullet up.

The priest was alone, and no one in the city of Yokohama believed in God. It was a nun who happened to pass by who buried him and carved an inscription for him.

"Vera Alex" - this is the name Aoi found at the end of the inscription.

She chewed and chanted the name over and over until it was engraved in her heart.

Two days later, Chiyo found a bottle of milk that was about to expire, a brightly colored wild flower, and a note with "Thank you" on the window sill. She tilted her head, took the milk, and replaced it with a baguette.

Chiyo was entrusted to this dilapidated church by the priest before his death. After the priest was buried, Chiyo's daily routine was to clean the church and pull the weeds in the garden.

She planted her father's favorite white roses in the courtyard of the church, polished the cross of the church, and then stepped out of the house in the silent night, throwing the rats that trampled on the courtyard into the sewer one by one.

Occasionally, when she had nothing to do, Chiyo would hold the scriptures of the Holy Light and sing in the church. No matter whether someone listened or not, she would not interfere with her original pace. Come to Chiyo's eyes.

Later, one head became two heads, and two heads became more heads. One day Chiyo was singing, but when she looked back, she found that the audience was densely packed with people.

Chiyo doesn't quite understand, but she is no longer the nightingale who was unable to protect herself and was forbidden to sing by her father's order. Now she can sing freely, letting her singing linger in the sky.

One day, two days, three days, time flowed so slowly, and the silver-haired and golden-eyed nun became a target that no one dared to provoke in Yokohama, and the place where the nuns sang became the unique pure land in Yokohama.

In the bloody wind of dragon head struggle, it is the only place where snow-white roses bloom, and there is no death and no fighting.

At first, the mafia who were forcibly thrown out of the church because they were looking for trouble were deeply annoyed, but this kind of thing is familiar once and for all, and people get used to it after being thrown out a lot.

Later, people also gradually figured out the nun's rules. She did not have any restrictions on those who came to worship in the church. Whether it was the mafia or poor orphans, anyone could have a place in the church.

She just doesn't like people stepping on the white roses she planted so hard, and she doesn't like people killing people in the church.

The nun has a heaven-sent singing voice, her singing can make people eliminate impetuousness and gain inner peace, and this radiant girl has a powerful strength that is completely opposite to her weak appearance. She never gives food or money to others, nor She doesn't offer shelter or concern, but she's just as reassuring as a pillar just by standing there unwavering.

And those desperate people also found that as long as they fled into the church, the dark forces belonging to Yokohama would reluctantly retreat, as if everyone had to follow some rules and regulations because of the monster-like nun.

——Although, the nuns have never established any rules themselves.

Ango Sakaguchi, the head of the intelligence department of the port mafia, is actually an undercover agent for the Baidao supernatural secret service. Ever since he met a certain scum in the world, his mentality has collapsed every day.

As a minister of intelligence who is so serious that he will compile the life of every member of the Hong Kong gang who died into a file, and press Mori Ogai's head to force him to read it, Ango Sakaguchi initially followed the template of the high-cold elite He didn't want to join forces with any member of Hong Kong gangsters, but somehow he met Oda Sakunosuke, who was ordered to collect the corpse, and Dazai Osamu, who was clearly in a high position but had to follow his friends to do dirty work.

Under the threat of the two people's "embrace full of corpse smell", Ango, who was in the late stage of cleanliness, had to cover his chest and scream like a girl who was forced into prostitution, and agreed to go to the bar for a drink with them, and finally became friends in a daze.

In the Lupin bar, Ango Sakaguchi looked at Osamu Dazai, who was dancing, dancing, and smiling like crazy, and couldn't help but put his forehead to Sakunosuke Oda, who was calmly sipping a drink and watching the show, and said, "What suicide method did he try again?"

"It seems that I went to the torture group and touched a bottle of hallucinogens, saying that I wanted to die with his siren in my dream, and then I became this virtue." Oda Sakunosuke explained kindly.

"Honey~! Did you come to pick me up? I'm so happy, take me to Huangquan Hirazaka together!" Osamu Dazai jumped over with a face full of fascination, hugged Ango Sakaguchi and pouted to make a gesture Kissing expression.

Ango Sakaguchi, who was brutally murdered by Dazai, couldn't help swearing a very dirty, dirty word, and pressed Dazai's head against the wall with his backhand, and grabbed the half-empty medicine bottle on the table with his frantic desire, cursing: "Drug M-2748 is a special offering from the Black Organization. There are only three bottles in the entire Hong Kong and black. Do you know how expensive this medicine is! Your salary for the next six months will be gone Dazai!"

"This seems to be rewarded to him by the leader." Oda explained with a conscience for a certain human being, "I heard that Dazai has done a big thing recently."

What's the big deal?Recently, the dragon head struggle is in full swing. The gravity of Hong Kong and black makes Nakahara Nakaya fight on the front line almost every day, killing the whole of Yokohama to bleed and drift, and Dazai has nothing to do every day except fooling around with Oda.

"What did Dazai do that I don't know?" Ango Sakaguchi adjusted his glasses. As the intelligence officer of Hong Kong gangsters, he should always have first-hand information.

"Hee hee~" Dazai pressed his face against the bar table, shaking the jiojio like a penguin, and let out an inexplicable laugh, with a sweet and greasy tone, "I 'accidentally' leaked the real identity of the little nun la~"

"Nun" is a sensitive word in today's Yokohama world. Ango and Oda Saku almost subconsciously put down their wine glasses and listened intently.

"Hey hey, the situation in Yokohama is chaotic in this short period of time, almost no 'neutral' stance is tolerated, so I ordered the members of our organization to avoid that church early on, and then led the opponents over there by the way." Hallucinogenic The medicine contained truth-telling ingredients, and Dazai almost told all the bad things he had done, "It's a pity that the little nun didn't kill anyone, otherwise this plan would be more~perfect~beautiful~"

"The slug has offended so many people now, and when everyone knows that the little nun is actually the sister of the slug—hehehe, the little nun won't be able to escape!"

Dazai made this matter very secretive. In fact, Chiyo did not do things strictly at the beginning. Some members of the sheep organization left the organization early because of Chuya's departure, and they have been living outside.

Dazai just used some small means to force these wandering sheep members to have nowhere to go, and had to seek refuge in the hostile organizations of Hong Kong gangsters. Then when those organizations investigated the identity of the "nun", in order to get the respect of the sheep members, they would naturally send " The fact that the nun is a relative of the Hong Kong black gravity envoy" was revealed, and Dazai had achieved his goal since he would not offend his colleagues and Chiyo.

People will always believe the results of their own investigations. When they find out that Hong Kong gangsters have been "secretly protecting" the little nun, the absolutely neutral team will no longer exist.

Even if the little nun is unwilling, she will be classified into the forces of Hong Kong gangsters.

Dazai's skill in manipulating people's hearts has reached its peak, and he will always find a way to make his prey walk into the cage willingly.

"So there's one last move—"

Osamu Dazai sent the news that the major organizations would ambush Chuya tonight, which he had investigated, and sent it to the little nun, but in fact this was nothing more than a "please enter the urn" that he and Chuya planned to destroy the enemy's forces in one fell swoop.

Concern leads to chaos. The little nun naturally knows Zhongye's strength very well, but what if this battle will force Zhongye to activate "dirty"?

Turning on the "filthy" state is enough to destroy everything in the world, because the person "Central Plains Chuya" is just a safety device for Huangbatu. Once the restriction is lifted, he will crazily crush Everything in front of Shatter, if there is no Dazai Osamu's assistance, if he uses "Disqualification in the World" to close the dirty state in time, Zhong will also die.

And the little nun holding the cross must not be at ease, she will definitely rush to the scene and walk into this "urn" that was also set up for her.

Then?And then of course—

"Moral kidnapping! Tie up the thief boat! Weld the car door! Press the gas pedal to the bottom!"

For a good person like the little nun, if she knew that the gangsters offended all the forces in Yokohama because of her, they would definitely feel uneasy, right?

As for the Hong Kong gangsters who did it first... Hee!If I don't tell you, who would know? !

"Boss! Another glass of dish soap and whiskey—"

"There's no such thing."

The chairs at the bar turned around, making a squeaking sound like a mouse.

"Then have a glass of whiskey without dish soap."

……

"Dad thinks it's better for me to join Hong Kong gangsters?" Chiyo looked at the sentences displayed on the computer with a calm expression, as if it was only natural for cats to know how to type.

The three-flowered cat nestled on the table struggled for a moment, but continued to type: [Actually, if possible, I would prefer you to join the Armed Detective Agency. Your character is more suitable for the dusk where light and darkness meet, and I also believe in Yuji. I can give you the correct teaching, you are actually very similar, I think you are more like Yukichi's daughter than me.If you don't mind, can you call me "Grandpa"? ]

"Grandpa." Chiyo changed her address without any resistance, her face full of indifference and calmness, "Then why does grandpa think it's better for me to join Hong Kong gangsters?"

[Because the current armed detective agency is still in its infancy, only Hong Kong gangsters can protect you. ] Sanhuamao continued to type, [Besides, there will always be a day when Wuzhen and Hong Kong Hei will face each other, I don't think you want to make things difficult for your brother, do you? ]

"I can protect myself." Chiyo lowered her eyes and touched the cross on her back.

[Children, sometimes force is not everything, there will always be someone who uses what you love and what you care about to threaten you. ]

Sanhuamao stretched out the soft plum blossom cushion and patted Chiyo's little hand with the meat pit: [Maybe you don't realize it, but your existence itself is a unique treasure, anyone with a little ambition will want to take you as their own have.They will constantly test and touch you, and it is always exhausting to guard against-]

[And you, are tired of dealing with everything in this world, right? ]

Chiyo lowered her eyes, Natsume Soseki was the second person in this world who saw the deep fatigue in her heart, and the first one was the boy named "Osamu Dazai".

[I'm not trying to limit your freedom or force you to make choices. ] Sanhuamao scratched the keyboard, [I just want you to live a happier life. ]

[Happiness is a very simple thing, because simplicity can make you happy, but it is so difficult for people to live a simple life. ]

The soft plum blossom cushion patted the back of the girl's hand comfortingly, with the kindness unique to the elders.

[Ogai and Yukichi are both my students, I can try my best to fight for your freedom, they are good boys, I will be more at ease if I entrust you to them. ]

[Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to, Grandpa is just making a suggestion, but you should have more choices, kid. ]

Natsume Soseki didn't know which of his words touched the girl, her eyes as silent as stagnant water rippled, and then fresh emotions floated up, soaking her eyes like a mist.

She showed a shallow smile and said in a low voice:

"it is good."

——Actually, if it wasn't for that dreamlike glance, she would never have thought that her strength was so vulnerable.

But it's okay, she's okay, she can keep going.

Chiyo took the letter written by Natsume Soseki to the building of Hong Kong and Hei, smashed the hostile organization that came to find trouble with a cross, and found out Hirotsu Yanagi who had a relationship with him in the chaos, and sent the letter to him. Handed it to him: "Excuse me, I want to see Chief Sen."

Guangjin Liulang looked at Chiyo's immature and petite appearance, then looked at the letter in his hand, and suddenly showed a three-pointed unbearable expression on his face.

The three-flowered cat lying on Chiyo's head covered its face in horror, so what kind of image does the leader of the Hong Kong gangster look like in the eyes of his subordinates?

——The image of changing clothes for young girls in the office.

Chiyo looked indifferently at Mori Ogai, who was holding a small skirt, and Alice Shihua, who was only wearing a fat pair, and said hello unmoved, saying: "You two, I need more time. Is it? I can stay outside for a while, but please don't exceed 10 minutes. I will go back after 10 minutes, and come back tomorrow when you two are free."

Natsume Soseki: "..."

Mori Ogai: "..."

No, what have you experienced to be so proficient? !

So the blinds were lowered, the lights were dimmed, and the signal blocking device was turned on, and the well-dressed and unpredictable Hong Kong gangster leader Mori Ogai appeared in front of one person and one cat again.

"Miss Nakahara." Mori Ogai staggered his fingers on his chin, and tried his best to draw up the corners of his evil lips, "You didn't see anything just now, did you?"

"If deceiving yourself and others will make you feel better, then yes." Natural Heiping A critized, raising his hand to block the old father's dead eyes, "Maomao didn't see it either, don't worry."

Mori Ogai's supernatural ability [VitaSexualis] - you can fabricate a partner that perfectly fits your ideal type and modify its ability and personality at will. All "personality" under its ability setting will become a reality, such as setting If you are good at medical skills, the mimic will be familiar with all medical knowledge; if you are good at fighting, the mimic will be proficient in physical skills, and the disharmonious base that eliminates its abilities is itself a very powerful and high-limit ability.

But Mori Ogai just likes the kind of cute and cruel 12-year-old girl who can stab people with a knife, hates him and even hates "the self who hates him". Painful and cute.

After listening to Mori Ogai's explanation, Chiyo sent her sincere blessings to this "narcissism". For Chiyo, as long as you don't pervert yourself to others, she can support you spiritually.

After Mori Ogai read the handwritten letter from the teacher, his expression was indescribable.

If I have to describe it, it probably means that the tiger came out of the mountain and punched the physically immune slime.

Cough, no, I have to figure out a way to get rid of this matter. If the teacher knows that I and the Dazai plotted against his daughter, this matter will not be good.

"In that case, could it be that Chuya-kun is also...?"

"No, Chuya and I are a test subject in the same laboratory, but he is a captive orphan, and I am an artificial human in the laboratory."

"So that's how it is." Asking the cause and effect of the matter clearly, Mori Ogai immediately showed an idiot's side after the matter was settled, and said with a smile on his face, "Ah! Welcome to Hong Kong Hei! Vera, your name is Vera, right?! "

"This is indeed my original name, but it doesn't matter if you call me 'Chiyo'."

So, when Osamu Dazai came to work again in the middle of the night and clocked in after being hungover in the middle of the night, what he faced was a little girl with a golden cross on her back and a calm expression on her face.

"This is our new Minister of Health."

Dazai Osamu, the demon manipulating people's hearts of the port mafia, the scum of the world, the plan has come to an end before it even started.
