Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

Occasionally, seven-year-old Akutagawa Ryunosuke would lean against the dirty wall, curled up, and stare at the dull sky with his dark and empty eyes.

I didn't think about anything, there was no fluctuation in my heart, I was just simply distracted.

This is the poor street in Yokohama, Japan.

——The dirtiest, ugliest, and meanest street in the whole city is also the bottomless bottom of Yokohama society.

Everyone here is struggling to survive like a wild dog drifting with the waves, armed with fierce fangs and sharp claws, abiding by the law of the jungle, advancing in this cruel world without dignity.

Male robbers and female prostitutes are not uncommon.

There are countless children who were abandoned when they were young and helpless, or who lost their parents before they became independent.

There are ragged homeless people lying everywhere on the rotten streets. Groups of threes and twos mercilessly snatch the resources of the weak, and continue to survive by killing each other.

In this city ruled by various criminal organizations headed by the port mafia - death is the norm.

A year ago, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who lost the protection of his sickly mother, wandered aimlessly in this cold and cruel street with his sister who was one year younger than him.

If the younger sister still sheds tears for the death of her mother, then the elder brother will only think indifferently about how to continue to survive.The conflict between a young body and robbing resources to survive has already occupied Akutagawa's entire mind.

That year, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was only six years old, and five-year-old Akutagawa Gin, both dressed in dirty thin clothes, stood silently beside their mother's corpse.

After the death of their mother, their dilapidated and small residence was not surprisingly robbed by others, and the unarmed brothers and sisters were driven out. There is no law or morality in this kind of place.They could only curl up in a dark and cold corner and depend on each other, using the cold and dirty corner of the street as a bed, struggling to survive every day.No different from any other orphaned orphan in the ghetto.

Such a young child, unless he joins a small group, is completely impossible to live alone in such a place.

But almost no one is willing to accept the weak Akutagawa, and neither is Gin who is unwilling to leave his brother.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was born with a weaker and slender body than his peers - it seems that he inherited the physique of his dead mother. Under such an environment, he couldn't take good care of him at all, so that it got worse. His pale skin and thin body The size and strength of Akutagawa, the elder brother, is not even as strong as that of his younger sister, who is one year younger than him.

In the first year of leaving his mother's shelter, Akutagawa, who was in a desperate situation, survived on the bread that his healthier sister tried his best to steal back.

Even worse is the winter of the first year.

The colder and biting wind continued to pass through the slums, countless people were frozen to death, and their corpses lay stiff on the streets. Diseases continued to plague these poor and humble people.

Akutagawa contracted a severe lung disease that winter.

He was almost on the verge of dying completely. He was so weak that he was unwillingly panting at the edge of the underworld every day, coughing constantly, barely surviving on the resources stolen by his young sister.

Five-year-old Yin suffers from injuries every day. She covers all the clothes she desperately snatched back for her brother, and leaves two-thirds of the food she grabs back for her brother. She curls up with him at night and sheds tears almost every day.

"Don't die, brother."

Don't leave her alone.

Yin hugged his emaciated elder brother, trembling with fear.

She would rather suffer more injuries than lose the only remaining relative.

Fortunately, Akutagawa Ryunosuke survived that winter.

And in the spring of the seventh year, he awakened his own abilities.

The cause was a dark, bad night.

Akutagawa, who couldn't wait for his sister to come back for a long time, had an ominous premonition in his heart. He was wearing a dilapidated and thin coat he snatched back from Yin, walking unsteadily towards Yin. go ahead.

He found Gin Akutagawa who was caught by the slum scum.

The little girl was holding the stolen bread tightly in her arms, and was punched and kicked by three men who were [-] years older. She curled up on the ground in pain, but at this moment she gritted her teeth and refused to shed tears. The cute face was so bruised that it was almost impossible to see the original appearance, but the eyes were still fierce like a desperate beast, and he refused to let go of the hand holding the bread no matter what.

These guys could have directly snatched the bread from Yin's arms.

After all, how could a child be stronger than three adults?

But ah, most of the human beings living in this kind of place have already distorted their hearts in the dirty and ugly environment, becoming the scum that seems to be polluting the air even if they are alive.

The three people who attacked Yin were a combination of scumbags who wandered around the dividing line between the slums and the bustling city, aimed at the children in the slums who went out to steal things, and robbed the children of their resources.

Yin, who is young and weak and cannot resist adults, is naturally also within its hunting range.But enough food had been obtained not long ago and they were already well fed.Therefore, the purpose of the three of them this time is not bread, but an idle insult.

"This brat looks familiar. Is he the one who has been lucky enough to steal all kinds of food recently?"

"Yes, that's right, this brat, with a little bit of cleverness, good skills, and a good eye for avoiding disaster and seeking profit... Hey, brat, do you know the three of us? You seem to pick us out every time we're full ah."

"You still won't let go? Tch, I want to see if you're willing to let go when you're kicked to death."

The distorted three showed smiles at the same time, kicking and hitting the young Yin continuously, they stepped on the girl's messy head, and said the most ugly and despicable words in their mouths.

Silver refused to let go.

Her brother was seriously ill and needed to eat a little more to get better.

In a way, Yin, who is quite innocent, has only this idea in his head.

She forced herself to be fierce. In a place like the slums, one cannot survive without being fierce enough.

But can I still survive?

Being stepped on, scolded, kicked and beaten, gradually losing sight of Yin in front of her eyes, instinctively hugging the bread in her arms, covered in scars all over her body, almost dying.

She wasn't afraid of dying herself.

--only.

What would her sick brother do if she died?

……

Yin's sick and frail elder brother was wearing a long, worn-out coat that he had picked up from no one knew where, his hands and feet were cold, and his dark and dull pupils were constricted. He looked at everything in front of him and stood quietly not far away.

It wasn't anger that first ignited his empty heart.

It was an incomparably cold killing intent.

—kill them.

Akutagawa stared at the three who were bullying his sister, overwhelming killing intent surged in his heart.

—kill them.

Akutagawa, who is being taken care of by his younger sister, often thinks emptyly about the value of his own existence. He is a powerless, weak and pathetic guy who only brings trouble to Yin. What is the value of living?

—kill them.

So Akutagawa came to his own conclusion.

There is no value.

He is weak.

In this cruel world, he is more useless than a wild dog, more despicable than a paramecium, a weak person that any existence dares to bully.

Seven-year-old Akutagawa Ryunosuke took out a rusty utility knife from his pocket, and rushed forward supporting his sickly body.

Unsurprisingly, he was kicked away, and the blade fell to the ground, making an unpleasant rubbing sound.

Compared with Gin who had lasted for so long, the attack limit that the weak Akutagawa could withstand was obviously lower. He vomited blood on the spot, and the taste of rust filled his mouth.

Yin, whose consciousness was gradually blurred, stretched out his hand towards him, opening and closing his mouth, telling him to run away.

Akutagawa, who was kicked away, looked at the three of them who came with disgusting smiles because he had diverted the target of bullying because of his appearance.

Unspeakable shame began to spread in my heart.

Why are you so weak?

He also needs the protection of his younger sister to survive.

What is the value of survival for such a self?

Constantly questioning myself.

The killing order stronger than ever forced the brain, Akutagawa stood up staggeringly, and rushed forward desperately, whether it was hands, feet, or teeth, all parts that could be used as weapons were attacked. , Even if he was beaten worse, he didn't back down.

Go fight.

As a weak person, it doesn't matter if he just dies like this, but before he stops breathing, if he doesn't even have the consciousness to fight in the end, then he really has nothing.

Thus, under this terrifying killing intent, the power hidden deep in the scarred Akutagawa began to run wild.

——wanted to turn into a monster that tore everything apart and devoured everything.

Such a wish came true.

Ability [Rashomon].

The ferocious beast that devoured everything rolled in the clothes on Akutagawa's body, turning into a sharp cloth blade and stabbing fiercely.

……

Since that year, the Akutagawa brothers and sisters who struggled to survive in the cold streets were finally able to breathe a little easier.

But just the supernatural ability to manipulate cloth, in this era of roaring gunfire and blowing up buildings with large doses of bombs, it is still not very strong.

They still need to act cautiously and avoid dangerous adults. Relying on the ability to cut off the throats of robbers who seem to be born to kill, the Akutagawa brothers and sisters finally snatched a room that can The territory that shelters from wind and rain also has companions attracted by the power of Akutagawa.

The so-called companions are also orphans of similar age.

Unable to survive alone, they can only gather together, eventually forming a small, dependent group.

They need the powerful Akutagawa, and at the same time, Akutagawa's brothers and sisters also need their help.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who has just awakened his abilities, has infinite possibilities, but at present, his strength is only stronger than that of ordinary adults. It's not impossible to deal with it.

So a companion is needed.

In order to ensure the trust relationship between the companions, they made a rule together.

[If anyone among them dies unfortunately, the remaining survivors must do their best to avenge them. ]

This is the bond that maintains this group, with the smell of cruelty and blood, but it reassures this group of children more than any guarantee.

"Who is looking for food today?"

"It's Rin, Yuuji, Katsumi, Nobuya, and Sayaka."

"Really, pay attention to the time they left, and if you haven't come back for too long, please notify Gin and Ryunosuke."

"I know."

This small group of orphans, together with Ryunosuke and Gin, numbered ten in total.Because they are generally too young to work, they can only be divided into five people to find (steal) food every day. Even so, there are still some who cannot find food and have to pick weeds by the river to feed their hunger Case.

They form teams in turn in order, and Akutagawa is naturally among them, and as the only person with supernatural powers, he usually takes on the task of supporting his companions at any time.

Day after day, dull, like packs of wild dogs trying to survive.

Akutagawa's empty heart is like a programmed machine, eating, sleeping, finding resources, supporting and protecting companions, killing, and life is constantly reincarnated in these four things.

There is a Garan Hole in his chest.

It's empty and I don't know how to fill it.

He can't find his own value.

In the end, seeing Akutagawa's doll-like dead eyes and brutal killings in the slums gave him a title full of irony.

[The Heartless Dog].

……

Today, Akutagawa and others stay in the dilapidated and small base. The base is just a small space in a slum that has already collapsed and is built with a few pieces of scrap iron.It was more dilapidated than a kennel, and it was cold and cold, and it couldn't even keep out much wind and rain.

About half of the people are responsible for finding supplies for today's survival, and the remaining half are responsible for guarding this place that can barely shelter from the wind and rain.

Near the entrance.

Black hair, only the boy with white at the end of his temples was wearing a shirt, curled up gently, staring at the sky outside with those dark but empty eyes.

I didn't think about anything, I was just distracted.

In this slum where [light] will never be favored, even the sky is often cloudy.

"Brother, you have been in a daze recently, why?"

Yin didn't know when she came over, the beautiful girl sat beside her brother worriedly, her small hands gently grasping the corner of his brother's clothes.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing the sound, Ryunosuke Akutagawa was in a daze for a while, then tilted his head expressionlessly, and quietly looked at his sister in front of him, the hair on his temples fell slightly, sticking to his pale and bloodless face. face.

After a few seconds of silence, Akutagawa raised an overly slender and cold hand and touched his sister's head.

"No, nothing."

Akutagawa said in a low voice, as cold as himself.

"Nothing, Silver."

As he said this, his other hand was deeply inserted into his pocket, and the piercing wound in his palm was firmly surrounded by his secret manipulation of Rashomon, without a single drop of blood flowing out.

And 10 minutes before he was in a daze, there was obviously nothing in his palm.

……

Since then, the life of the man named Akutagawa Ryunosuke has been peaceful and quiet, starting from this strange scar—an unexpected change has taken place.

The author has something to say: I checked the information on March 2020.3.30, [-] (I just found out that the beast on the if line has manga?? But it is different from the novel version. I synthesized Wuxin Dog, beast manga and novels, but there are still many private ), with slightly modified details, including the following:

The number of companions in Akutagawa Slums changed from 12 (plus Akutagawa brothers and sisters) to ten.

Akutagawa has just awakened his abilities, but in fact he is not taken seriously by the people in the slums, only his companions know that he should not be underestimated.That is, what do adults think [the ability to manipulate cloth] can do?At present, Akutagawa, who can only control the cloth blade, took advantage of the adults' contempt and killed people.

I remember that in the special novel Akutagawa and his companions have no residence, the novel writes that they have been huddled on the street (but the beast comics have a residence), so I combined the two and modified the setting of the shack , and changed to a small space built with a few pieces of scrap iron.

Whispering BB: Manga beast mustard is really kind to his companions, and he is really good at sister control.

The rest of the gaps with the original novel are all private settings. Except for these modified points, the plot and character design in the future will be completely different from the original novel.
