Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

"What are you doing standing there?"

Sitting on the chair in front of the desk with his legs crossed, Mr. R picked up an open Italian book with one hand, and picked up a piece of bread from the paper bag on the table with the other hand without turning his head. He threw it towards Akutagawa.

The one who caught the bread was Rashomon who jumped out suddenly.

The black monster swayed around with the bread in its mouth, and put the bread firmly on Akutagawa's outstretched hand,

The head of the little beast transformed by Rashomon did not retract. Instead, it floated to Akutagawa's shoulder in a comforting manner. It didn't care about the little master's wet hair. It rubbed the boy's face affectionately, and then looked at the boy not far away. The fierce young man bared his teeth, full of threats.

Obviously dissatisfied with throwing Akutagawa into the bathtub earlier.

Mr. R didn't care about Rashomon's threats. He calmly put down the book in his hand, and went to get a thick stack of paper filled with crooked words. The first page was full of calculation solutions, and the second page was Foreign language words are written silently, the third page is the physical force analysis, and the fourth page is the biological principle...

Akutagawa held the bread uneasily, stood on the spot cautiously, opened his mouth and took a small bite.

Then he stretched out his hand again, pressed Rashomon on his shoulder, and pressed down with a little force.

Rashomon shrank back into his clothes reluctantly.

"This bivariate linear equation is calculated incorrectly. I will recalculate it later. The physical force analysis is not written correctly. Also, there is a problem with the English spelling. I will circle it for you with a pen. Japanese... is my mother tongue anyway, so there is no problem. .”

When Akutagawa finally finished eating the bread, Mr. R also started to comment. He picked up a pen from the table, drew circles on Akutagawa Ryunosuke's practice paper, and finally put down the pen and paper.

"The learning progress is average."

The casual evaluation of Mr. R, who has comprehensive development of force and wisdom, and knows a little bit about almost everything.

"Now, then, let's talk about something else."

Akutagawa's small body froze suddenly, and his eyes quietly moved away.

Mr. R crossed his legs, folded his hands on his knees, and wore a black top hat on his head. The shadow cast by the brim of the hat made the young man's expression look particularly cloudy and elusive.

"I asked you to go out to buy something, and you went to the alley to fight with others, that's fine, but the noise was too loud, and the passers-by called the police and sent you to the police." Mr. R paused, and continued to speak calmly, "I know I received Phone, how do you feel about going to the police station to get you out, huh?"

"..."

"I think I've been teaching you for nothing this year."

"Mr. R!"

The panic-stricken Akutagawa immediately widened his dark eyes, and said anxiously, "They were the ones looking for trouble first, I was just walking normally, but they rushed out suddenly, I warned them, but it was useless, that's why I shot..."

He added in a low voice, "...and didn't kill them either."

It wasn't killed, it was just as good as dead.

It is estimated that he will be paralyzed for the rest of his life.

Mr. R: "Oh, it's not surprising at all."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, nine years old, is only a little over 1.1 meters tall, not to mention far below the average standard. He is also thin and pale. He is also wearing a high-quality and valuable long windbreaker. The leather shoes are brand new. Bullying fat sheep.

It is still the Asians who are easily discriminated against in this country in this era.

Adults may still hold back their inner thoughts, but kids and teens often don't.

Especially in Italy in this era, there are so many idle gangsters in the streets and alleys. One or two adults trick the minors in twos and threes into doing things for them, and they form a group, stealing, robbing, taking drugs, and selling drugs. The supervision is inappropriate, corruption is rampant, and Akutagawa, who looks like a bully and looks like he is rich, is being targeted by people. It is really not surprising.

Black-haired and black-eyed, except for the boy with white temples, he just obeyed the note left on the table by the teacher when he went out, took the money and went out to buy today's breakfast.

However, because the boss had no change when he was shopping, he had to wait for the boss to go to the neighborhood to exchange change with acquaintances, which wasted a lot of time, but it is impossible not to give change, any waste is shameful.

Akutagawa waited stubbornly until he got his change.

Because of the delay, Akutagawa purposely walked a remote alley to take a shortcut when going back. It was early in the morning, and there were naturally pedestrians around, and the young children didn't pay much attention.

The alley is not straight through, but has two corners. Akutagawa walked to the middle of the alley, and three young men surrounded him sneakily.

One of the young men came up to talk to him with a malicious smile, and suggested to make friends very casually, and obviously wanted to take Akutagawa to the dead-end alley around the corner because of the large number of people.The upright child narrowed his eyes indifferently and issued warnings and threats, but he was obviously not taken seriously.

One year is not enough to blunt the edges and corners of Akutagawa.

The boy who was ridiculed, provoked, and threatened did not hesitate to choose to do it the moment the other party reached out to him.

Akutagawa at least remembers that he had to hide his identity for a while. Although it has been a year, but without the teacher's release order, he still tried his best to obey this order, even if he ignored this point, considering that the temporary residence of himself and the teacher is here Nearby, in order not to cause trouble, Akutagawa chose not to kill.

Originally, I just wanted to simply knock people unconscious.

But after the fresh food he just bought in his arms was knocked to the ground, Akutagawa's nerves that originally wanted to deal with it lightly snapped.

Fuck your patience.

Those who waste food will die,

The little saneness left allowed Akutagawa to change the cloth blade into a less terrifying slender whip, and Rashomon's powerful force directly smashed two-thirds of the bones of the three people in front of him, including the most important spine.

The three youths were dealt with in an instant. The three of them were just low-level punks. They could only pick on old, weak, sick and disabled people like Akutagawa who seemed harmless. .

That's the way things should have ended.

In the end, he never expected that there would be a young boy watching the wind at the entrance of the alley.

If he was simply knocked down by the target in reverse, the watchman would probably just run away without looking back.

But the pitch-black beast waving around Akutagawa was too frightening, and it didn't seem like something that existed in the world at all.

The boy was so frightened that he crawled and scrambled, screaming words such as monsters and demons inarticulately towards the street.

Fortunately, a police car happened to pass by.

So it became like this.

……

If it wasn't for Akutagawa's harmless appearance after he withdrew his ability, and his poor physical fitness, the police might really have believed the screaming teenager.

Akutagawa refused to admit it, said nothing, and was taken back to the police station by the headache police.

Because he was a child, the police still kindly asked what happened.

Akutagawa lowered his eyelids, and tried to imitate the way the teacher taught him to lie and began to explain.

- Your appearance can be deceiving, take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, Akutagawa completely described himself as a passerby.

"I don't know anything, I just bought bread and passed by that alley."

He said so.

It's not a clever lie, just relying on his young age and weak health to deceive people.

The police finally believed it.

Akutagawa's young and sickly appearance increased the credibility by five points, and the other five points were because they found drugs from the group of gangsters.

"Hallucinogenic, tsk, a group of brats who have taken too many drugs."

Obviously, he took the boy's ghostly crying and howling as a hallucination after taking drugs.

As for the group of broken bones in the alley, it is estimated that they will be paralyzed for the rest of their lives?

Oh, it can't be related to such a small child, what the truth is still needs to be investigated (although the matter of these gangsters with no status and drug use will be forgotten in all likelihood), and this It is not at all surprising that a group of drug addicts will have an accident someday.

Akutagawa was easily let go like this.

But before he could secretly breathe a sigh of relief, he was asked by the gentle police lady to report the guardian's phone number, saying that he would notify the other party to come to the police station to pick him up.

Akutagawa: ...

The Italian police in this era are right to say that corruption is rife, and it is right to do nothing. They don’t care about many small cases, and they even accept bribes to let people go.

But there are always some newcomers with a sense of justice who still hold moral principles and a sense of responsibility, and they always care about [civilians].

For example, the police lady in front of me.

Akutagawa refused to give out the guardian's phone number, and insisted on leaving alone.

The police lady was also very stubborn and refused to let her go anyway.

In short, it must be an unlucky day.

The stalemate between the two was broken by an old woman who angrily ran to the police station to report the crime.

"Oh my god, my wallet was robbed, goddamn bastards, is it useful to report the crime to you? Huh?...Eh? Isn't this Xiao Akutagawa?"

Akutagawa: "..."

The person who came was the mother-in-law of the rented house where he lived with his teacher. She was seven or eighty years old. She was very kind and often gave them homemade snacks. Although they were cautious, they never ate them.

Logically, the guardian, who Akutagawa refused to tell, was notified by the homeowner's mother-in-law.

Mr. R who received the call: "..."

Raising children is full of surprises.

Mr. R, who looked like a gentleman, hurried over. He first thanked the police lady gently, and after learning about the situation, he expressed his gratitude with a look of "surprise and gratitude", and then took his child back.

Then without hesitation, he picked up his clothes and put them in the net, and threw them into the bathtub to soak in hot water.

Akutagawa: "...!!!"

……

Things have become what they are now.

Mr. R went out again to buy today's breakfast, and started the conversation in a seemingly calm atmosphere.

"Do you know what you did wrong?"

"I shouldn't have...caused trouble."

Mr. R frowned, "Who blames you for this? When you meet a guy who dares to threaten you without winking, it's considered polite not to kill him. Speaking of which, since you've already done it, why don't you just kill him?"

"...?" Akutagawa looked bewildered.

Mr. R clicked his tongue, stretched out his hand in dissatisfaction and slapped Akutagawa's head hard, and knocked the other's head back directly, his forehead was directly red, which was particularly conspicuous against the pale complexion.

Rashomon exploded out immediately, and before he could pounce on him, Akutagawa stretched out his arms and held him firmly in his arms.

"I should have told you, don't show your abilities to ordinary people in public, right? Huh? Ryunosuke, where is the gun I gave you?"

"...I didn't bring it."

"No?" Mr. R repeated, raising his eyebrows, "Then why did I teach you marksmanship? Do you want to show off in front of ladies?"

"..."

"In the same situation, threatening them with guns will never cause the chaos today." Mr. R calmly stated, "The organized gangsters in Italy accept guns well. Zhiqu retreats, even if you kill them, the person watching the wind will only cover his mouth and run away in a hurry for self-protection, he will not be panicked and yelled like today."

"..."

"I told you a long time ago that killing people is not difficult for you. What you lack is the ability to escape from accidents and traces after a battle."

"...Yes, I'm very sorry."

"In short, as a [surprise] brought to me early this morning, I will use three times the training as a [reward] for you. If you commit the crime again next time, the punishment will definitely be more than this." Mr. R added, "Listen Well, in a situation that threatens your life, you can fight with all your strength, but if it’s just a small friction like today, you have to control the degree of strength you use.”

Mr. R solemnly exhorted: "Dignity cannot be violated. Ignore those who are inferior to me, just shoot them into the air, but you have to ensure that you can deal with the traces, you know? I don't want to see what happened today again. the second time."

Akutagawa hugged Rashomon tightly in his arms, and nodded seriously, "Yes, I understand, Mr. R."

Mr. R handles it lightly, the punishment is over, and the matter is settled, then it is over, and if he commits the crime again next time, he will consider whether to double the punishment.

……

During the year when Akutagawa Ryunosuke followed Mr. R, in addition to all kinds of training, most of them were exercises involving various cultures and knowledge from all over the world.

"How can my students be illiterate." Mr. R who just picked him up said critically, "You are not required to be able to learn everything like me, but at least you must understand a little bit, and then you must be proficient in one or two subjects. .”

So, in addition to daily physical fitness and combat training, marksmanship training, and supernatural training, a thick stack of cultural subjects filled the desk.

They basically changed their residence once a month, and it was impossible to take the books with them, so Mr. R simply asked Akutagawa to learn all the contents within a month.

To be honest, Akutagawa doesn't hate studying.

It is almost impossible for children in the slums to touch textbooks, and it is already very difficult to survive, let alone read and study. Therefore, he never knew that he would be interested in knowledge before being picked up by Mr. R.

Ah, strictly speaking, not all knowledge is of interest to him.

The science part is really difficult, and Akutagawa is good at liberal arts, especially literature, such as history and Chinese, and is keen on reading classics from various countries.

Mr. R watched silently. The young man deliberated for a long time and lowered the proportion of science content every month, and then increased the content of reading. Considering that Akutagawa is interested in books from various countries, and Mr. R also intends to He asked his students to learn more foreign languages, so he deliberately found original books without translation and threw them to the other party, letting Akutagawa read while learning.

The books I read are not limited to literature, but also the theory of human organ structure, psychology, plant theory... all kinds of things.

Then, according to the other party's grasp of the situation, certain adjustments are made every month.

Although Mr. R always commented that "the progress is so-so", it was only compared with his own level.

Considering Ryunosuke Akutagawa's foundation and the level of knowledge of his peers, it has to be said that this is already quite good progress.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, when Mr. R was sitting by the bed and assembling his newly acquired sniper rifle, he suddenly asked a student who was obsessed with reading while holding a book:

"Ryunosuke, I have accepted a commission, do you want to go out with me on a mission?"

"!!!"

He was always left behind when the teacher went out to carry out assassination missions. Today, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who finally got the opportunity to accompany him, opened his eyes and left the unfinished book in his hand without saying a word. He rushed to Mr. R at a fast pace, and shouted out with a bit of excitement: "Yes!!"

After Akutagawa yelled, he felt a little impolite, coughed the two of them involuntarily, tried to calm down, restrained his expression, but his eyes revealed everything brightly:

"Yes, Mr. R, please give me a chance to do the task, I will never fail—"

I have only spent the past year in training and studying, although I don't hate it, but Akutagawa still hopes that he can be useful.

Thinking about Akutagawa's current level, Mr. R pondered for a while without saying a word, and made the child in front of him hold his breath involuntarily, before he nodded and promised, "Well, your current level should be enough After performing some tasks, theoretical knowledge has to be turned into practice before it is considered one’s own.”

"Although the more important reason is that you may have revealed your identity today, so I have to take you away."

The group of guys who were broken by Akutagawa and lying in the hospital with all their bones in their bodies, and the boy who was frightened out of his mind and was temporarily locked up in the bureau because of taking drugs and [babbling] not knowing what happened, who can guarantee that? Will the group of guys not leak Akutagawa's information?

Mr. R let out a breath, stood up, adjusted his suit, and began to pack his weapons. Akutagawa immediately came to help.

The black suitcase was locked, and the violin case was closed.

Five thirty in the afternoon.

Akutagawa carried his violin case full of guns on his back, put on a long black windbreaker, wrapped his scarf around his neck, held Mr. R's suitcase in his arms, and followed the young man with strides.

Mr. R went to find the owner's mother-in-law first, and bid farewell to the kind old lady politely and gentlemanly.

"Oh, are you going to travel again?" The old lady chatted happily, "Young people are going to walk around, where are you going to go next?"

"I want to take the boy to Venice."

"Venice, ah, that's a good place too."

The two sides continued to have a gentle conversation, Mr. R bowed slightly and left with Akutagawa.

Akutagawa carried a violin case on his back and a suitcase in his arms, and followed Mr. R step by step, watching the other party arrive at the station blankly, and bought two tickets to Sicily with a fake identity.

"Sir, aren't you going to Venice?"

"of course not."

Mr. R pressed down the hat on his head, and the corners of his mouth raised, "It was just to lie to the old lady, in case someone asked about our whereabouts."

The young man took his suitcase from his student's arms, "As a killer, you must always have the awareness of hiding your whereabouts. Appropriate information barriers are necessary."

"Yes, I see, Mr. R."

Akutagawa nodded seriously, and lifted the violin case on his shoulder. It was very heavy. After all, it contained all kinds of guns and bullets. In the end, Akutagawa slightly covered the shoulder strap with a wide scarf, letting Luo Sheng A small strand of fabric sticks out from the door to help share the weight.

The two got on the first train together and sat in an inconspicuous position in the last row.

The young Akutagawa quietly opened his dark eyes, staring out the window in a daze.

With the roar of the train running on the track, night gradually fell.

In the dark sky, the dark bird shadows passed silently.

The time to belong to the other world has arrived.
