COSER, I became the leader of despair

Blank memories always make people feel uneasy.

This is where Dun is now.

He was afraid that he would walk farther and farther in a barren wilderness, and eventually die.I'm also afraid that I'll find out that I'm a scumbag when I retrieve my memory.

... Is there any difference between him and a scumbag now?

His hands were stained with the blood of many irrelevant people, he was like an executioner.

The last person killed in the memory was a man. In order to prevent the other party from pressing the bomb button, Dun bit off the other party's head and cut off the other party's fingers.

He went farther and farther on the road of murder... Even work is related to dealing with things.

In this way, you can't be a good person while you're alive, and you might not be able to go to the same place with the person you want to be with after death.

What a sad story of iniquity.

He is no longer the good adult everyone says he is.

He shuffled himself down the unfamiliar street.Don doesn't know where this is.

He was originally in a dark world, surrounded by some buildings and some people.Whether it is them or them, they all stand on the ground like standing signs.When Dun plucked up the courage to move forward to those "standing signs" covered in black shadows, they turned into "real".

A rusty iron door slowly opened to him, weeds were overgrown everywhere, and the moon in the sky was reflected blue and shining by the sky.If you don't look carefully, you may think this curved moon is a blue moonlight.

The pair of boots belonging to Dun stopped in front of the iron gate, but the closed gate ahead opened naturally as if being controlled by someone.The doors opened one by one, and at the end was colored glass like colored glaze.

The pattern on the glass is the Virgin Mary with a child in her arms.

Dun flinched.Holding his name in his arms, he stepped back timidly.He couldn't see the way back, so he could only retreat blindly.

So the opened iron door was closed again, but the surrounding human-shaped stand signs moved.None of those standing signs could speak, but only had actions.

Pushing action.

The act of hugging.

handing action.

……

hand over.

Pass it to him (me).

A sentence sounded in an instant, but there were several inaudible syllables mixed in the short sentence.

[□will protect □□]

Dun asked, what are you talking about?

His voice in this space is like a speck of dust disappearing without a trace in the sea.Even if Dun asked loudly again and again, he couldn't get an answer.

[□will protect □□]

what?

How many characters will this □ be?

Dun filled it with several words, but he always felt something was wrong.

He sits tragically on the ground of nothingness, and when he raises his head, he can only see the sky of nothingness.Only the building surrounded by iron bars has a moon, and it is a blue moon.

There is nothing around.

Where is this place?

Dun didn't know.

Maybe it was a dream, maybe it was a bad dream that belonged to him alone.

Bad him and his bad dreams.

Dun walked back and finally traced the shape of the building.

It turned out to be an orphanage.

There was a sudden stabbing pain in his brain, and Dun, driven by a strong emotion, waved his hands and legs, and rushed towards the empty space that was not the gate of the orphanage.He wanted to escape from all of this, so he made a rampage.

Dunben thought that he had bumped into a bloody head and face in his dream, but he didn't. The "wall" didn't exist at all, and he suddenly crashed into other darkness.

A blood red.

Dun's eyes included hills of bones.Skull, femur, ulna and radius joined together.The pelvis overturned on the ground like a washbasin.Countless heads with long hair rolled down from the top of the hill.

They were/they were screaming, crying, shouting...they looked like they deserved to keep their mouths shut!

Dun's pupils widened to the limit, and he was so shocked by the sea of ​​corpses and blood that he couldn't breathe.He stepped back, wanting to escape from this haunted area.Countless cyan flowers of the other shore were trampled under his feet, and they wailed like babies.

The dark spot on the top of the Mountain of Bones suddenly moved, and a pale man's face suddenly turned around.His face was inlaid with two red eyes like glass beads.The man let out a cry of rage as the black curls fell over his shoulders like seaweed.

"you--"

"On-"

"have that--"

“The smell of a man!!!”

Before the other party's voice fell, Dun had already slammed into the space, and he wanted to return to his empty, sea-like dream.But unfortunately, he failed again.This poor, unlucky kid thought he could go to the cradle of nothingness, but when he bumped into a "wall" again, he saw a lotus pond again.Lots of lotus flowers and lotus leaves stick together, and an ancient temple is held between them.The lotus freely put out its hands, and a spider's silk covered with spiders fell from the sky.

It's like a paradise here.

Wearing a crown, the familiar man waved the golden iron mountain in his hand, with a smile on his pure face.

"Hello, do you have any troubles you want to tell me?"

Dun immediately recognized this man as the man they met at the movie theater that day, and he seemed to know Mr. Doctor.That day, the opponent waved the iron fan and easily killed a person.

The lotus flowers in all directions rolled up like waves, and Dun felt that he would not be able to breathe.These waters, these lotus leaves, these lotus flowers... pink, white, green, and the man's seven-color pupils.

He couldn't breathe.

A sense of suffocation strangled his throat.

So Dun didn't answer, turned around and left here again.

However, the next time is still not.

Dun, who crashed into the "wall" for the third time, saw a more reassuring scene.

hospital, ward.

The surroundings are pure white, only the curtains are blue.

There is only one patient in this ward, and the other patient is lying on the hospital bed.Seeing that there was no danger, Dun breathed a sigh of relief.

The patient's face was pale, and even had a kind of transparent beauty.Dun looked at the other party's withered red hair that fell on the pillow, and felt that the other party seemed to be dying soon.

Soon, his idea was confirmed.

A nurse came in to check on the patient's condition, but his expression changed quickly.She immediately rang the bell to call the nurses, and a group of people quickly removed the red-haired juvenile patient, including him and his bed.Dun realized that the people couldn't see him, so he walked out of the ward behind them.

He saw doctors pushing patients in, but soon, the lights in the emergency room went out.

People are dead.

Could not be rescued.

Dun walked into the emergency room.

The doctor has already covered the other party with a white cloth.

"Can't the patient's family members be contacted?" the doctor asked.

"Well, the only brother has been missing for several months." This is the answer from the nurse.

Dun stood on the edge of the cold emergency table, staring at the pale beauty-like face.

He didn't expect to see the death of others in his dream.So, it's not a dream, is it?

Dun looked at all this suspiciously, and what woke him up from other people's "dreams" was still the phrase [□will protect□□□] that sounded from the sky.

What exactly is that sentence?

Don was about to scratch his own head.

And just as he was carrying out his wild fantasies, the "corpse" that had been judged "dead" by the doctor opened his eyes.

The red-haired boy sat up.His hair was as long as a withered rose, in lifeless red curls, and fell on his bony chest and back.

Don was taken aback.

The red-haired boy had very little flesh on his face, almost to the point where only bones remained.That face is a bit scary to look at, and people are always afraid of this almost essential appearance.

The strange boy opened his mouth and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Dun didn't expect that a dead person would "come back from the dead" to talk to him, and he took a step back in fright.This shock made his face a little more bloody.

unhealthy.

"I seem to have lost my way," Dun said.

If such behavior counts.

The frail boy with extremely protruding bones watched as the doctors prepared to announce his death to outsiders.He looked at Dun again and pointed in one direction.

"Just walk from here. When you leave, think about the place you want to go."

"In this way, you can probably go back to your place."

Dun thanked the other for the kindness, but he asked, "Is this okay?" He was referring to the fact that the doctors already looked like they were going to tell the teenager what happened.

"Well, it doesn't matter."

This is the boy's answer.

"I think everyone has their first time."

"It's a pleasure to meet you here."

"It's the first time I've been to a place like this."

Hospital... emergency room?

Can we meet here...?

Don was very confused.

But he wanted to go back, and he didn't want to stay in this strange place full of death.So he walked through a "wall" according to the method the boy said.

What the boy said was indeed true, he really came to his own space.The voice of that sentence that has been repeated non-stop since just now is getting louder and louder.

[□will protect □□]

[□will protect □□]

[□will protect □□]

Dun thought, he didn't know.

He wanted to wake up quickly.in the real world.

He remembered that he and Akutagawa Ryunosuke fought so darkly that even the ground was destroyed by them.

He wants to wake up and protect someone.

[□will protect □□]

The desire to wake up became extremely strong.

Then, after earning money, he wanted to go to the landlady to redeem the necklace that should be very important to him.

The repeating voice froze for a moment.

[Will Tun protect me? ]

The blank spaces are filled in with words and moods.

Dun woke up.

He saw the empty basement, and the seepage floor.

So he struggled to his feet and staggered outside.He was still bandaged, so he put on his already tattered black overcoat.

Dun walked the path like a lame man.

He thought about what he was going to do, for whom he was going to do something——

Mr. Doctor is back with a little boy holding a chainsaw puppy doll.

"You're awake." The other party's voice was light and light, with obvious joy hidden in it.

Dun didn't dare to move for a while.

And Mr. Doctor said: "We don't have to live in the basement at last."
