Remnant bones

The room was very large, but only a few candles were lit for lighting.

At the moment of entering inside, the surrounding temperature has a clear tendency to drop.The gusts of wind blowing out in a file made the candlelight reflect the human-shaped shadows on the wall and swayed back and forth, like ghosts wandering around at night.

Relying on the weak candlelight, on the four walls there are faces of life looming, or fear, or pleading, or despair, or resentment, or numbness... All kinds of hideous expressions are intertwined and highlighted.The sound of the wind, squeezed through the narrow gap, is like the wailing of a ghost, which makes people's hair stand on end.

This atmosphere...it's really a waste if it's not used to make a ghost movie.

With the eyes of watching a play, he glanced indifferently at the faces that were left with traces of the hell-like scene.I maintained the same speed from beginning to end, and slowly walked towards the center of the room.

Beside the swaying candlelight, a slender and thin figure propped his chin with his right hand, with long black hair loose, sitting on the only chair in the room.The dark golden animal pupils shone with inhuman viciousness and evil charm, and on both sides of the pale and feminine side, there was a strange smile that never disappeared from the beginning to the end.

Compared with the deliberate gentleness when we first met, the unmodified dark and evil aura at this time is probably his restrained nature for a long time.The ability to shrink his aura freely was only seen in the patriarchs of a few big families with a long history in his previous life.This is an ability that only those who have been in high positions for a long time can develop in the acquired environment...or instinct.

I remember Dou said that he is one of the three ninjas of that Konoha village... It seems that his status is really not low. Compared with Wuyin Village, that village is probably only stronger than weaker.He could become the leader of such a big village, but he still chose to defect to such a remote place to establish a base...

A very ambitious man... Looking at him calmly, this snake-like man has aroused my interest more than once.What exactly does he want?

status?The position of the Sannin is not low, and he seems to be the disciple of the strongest ninja, he seems to be more qualified to inherit the position of master than others, right?

strength?Although I don't know the strength classification of this world very well, based on my intuition that even though I am not a warrior for many years, I can be regarded as a habitual murderer. He is not at the same level as the leader of the fog ninja.He is very strong, so strong that I have no doubt that even if he faces dozens of Jnin alone, he is afraid that the other party will only be wiped out.

money? ...this one is directly excluded.Don't ask me why, if someone tells me he's a miser, I'll cut him straight!Why?Intuition, can't you...

Searching for orphans with excellent qualifications, establishing a base, and training future subordinates...and one more reason for his betrayal-forbidden art research.This forbidden technique should refer to those ninjutsu with special uses.Because of my ignorance of ninjutsu, I can only classify this research as a combination of medicine and legendary alchemy.

Any finished product must go through experiments again and again to continuously verify the theory and adjust the research direction.Basically, it can be said that every technology, no matter whether it is killing or saving people, relies on the accumulation of countless human lives to achieve its most perfect effect.Although on the surface, no matter which world promotes some kind of humanitarianism and caring society, those who have really seen the "darkness" will not know that it is completely a "camouflage" coat.

If you want to "get", you must "pay"... Although the "principle of equivalent exchange" that alchemy follows is not absolute, most things still follow this principle.It's just that hypocritical creatures like human beings always want to use excuses to deceive their own eyes... I'm afraid Orochimaru has gone too far and exceeded the "moral" bottom line of "those people"...

Pushing the wheelchair unhurriedly, I looked at the god-shaped corpses on the four walls, as if I was looking at pieces of failed artwork.In the ice-blue and silvery left eye, there is no fear, fear, sadness, anger...or even pity that a human being should have.It can be seen that apart from indifference, there is only a trace of inexplicable...interesting.

Yes, interesting.

Of course, the object will never be the lifeless dead thing on the wall, but the owner of this room, the only "living person" here besides me, the maker of this hellish scene - Orochimaru.

For me, who was a Western medicine doctor in my previous life, in order to increase my clinical experience, it has become commonplace to work with corpses for a long time.Even because of overtime work, there are not a few times that they directly sleep in the morgue and dissection room.As an ordinary person, the fear of dead bodies has been wiped away.In addition, due to the difference and influence of each person's concept of life, my attitude towards the dead is more indifferent than ordinary people, just like looking at a piece of clothing of inferior quality.

On the contrary, when my interest in living people arises, it is the other extreme.

Show me the "by-products" eliminated in these researches, do you want to show off your power?It's a pity that the effect doesn't seem to increase... The ice blue of the left eye has completely turned into a light silver blue, close to transparent white.This physiological shift due to emotional changes, I was not aware of.However, Orochimaru, who has been scrutinizing me all the time, really sees it in his eyes.

It seems that I judged that those corpses have no deterrent effect on me at all, and the aura that has been hanging around me before has gradually become stronger.If it were an ordinary child, I'm afraid he would be paralyzed by fright...

Stopping seven steps away from Orochimaru, I raised my head and looked at him without dodging.In an instant, the originally depressive atmosphere suddenly became violent.I was in the center of the storm pressure, although I didn't have any psychological burden, my weak body couldn't bear such rough treatment, and my vision began to blur...

If this continues, my body will not be able to bear it... My brows raised slightly, and my originally pale face gradually turned blue.Do you want to weaken my mental strength before proceeding with the negotiations... Courtesy first, soldiers later...

"Oshemaru..." Although the person who speaks first will be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.But I don't care about this, or... In terms of the outcome of the ideological duel, he and I know it well.The person who speaks first can control the initiative in the conversation. Although, I am forced to say, "Let's make a deal."

As I thought, Orochimaru paused slightly for my unexpected initiative, but then disappeared without a trace.A pair of animal pupils shone with a strange luster in the dim environment, and his unique hoarse voice sounded in the room: "Oh? Why do you want to trade? Jun Mai, aren't you already my subordinate?"

"Huh?" Pretending to be unintentional, I tilted my head, and asked in doubt, "When did I agree?" Finally, I felt much more comfortable...

"..." Orochimaru was about to speak, but when he recalled the scene at that time, he froze for a moment.She couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and a strange look flashed in her eyes... Have you been tricked?

I remember that after asking about Jun Malu's wishes, Jun Mai seemed to pass out directly.Letting down your vigilance in front of the enemy is undoubtedly an expression of submission and surrender to the other party.Most people make such a definition basically subconsciously.However, in fact, he neither admitted nor denied it... In other words, he did not give his own clear answer.

A small trap of inertial thinking...

After realizing that he was being played by a ten-year-old child, Orochimaru's temper was definitely not good, and unexpectedly, there was no sign of rising anger.In other words, when he saw Jun Mai for the first time, he instinctively didn't treat him as a normal child, but... he still underestimated the enemy.

"Hehehe..." The smile on his lips gradually deepened. How many years... It seems that this is the first time someone has dared to play with him since he became conscious of it for so many years!Even Tsunade, Ziraye, and even the three generations who have been with him the longest have never done such... "intimate" actions to him?

This kid... is really special!Funny, really funny!As calm as an adult, even in the face of an illusion that has never been touched, you can calmly analyze it at the first time, and find out the fastest way to control and crack it.Then there is sensitive thinking, judging your own situation according to the environment, and using the enemy to create conditions that are beneficial to you.Familiar with people's thinking inertia, good at exploiting psychological loopholes; facing death with calmness, even indifference; talent and blood succession that do not belong to anyone... His "weakness", other than congenital physical defects, is only... It's Jun Ma Lu.

Really the most ideal subordinate... The golden animal pupils flashed with excitement, but they dimmed in an instant.It's just a pity...

Sweeping across that ice-like immature face, Orochimaru couldn't help feeling a trace of regret in his heart.Given the child's physical condition, it is already a miracle that he can reach adulthood.In this world, it is really difficult to find perfect things. This child who is the closest to "perfect" he has ever seen, everything he shows... seems to have overdrawn his own life.

If possible... I seem to hope that I can see a "miracle" in him... such an interesting person, I don't know if I can meet him...

"Interesting... tell me?" In any case, let's enjoy the present before that day comes.At least for a short time... I won't be bored anymore!

I'm not a god, although I can see the frequently changing expression of Orochimaru, I don't have the ability to decipher its meaning.For an unfamiliar person, it is impossible to judge thoughts with eyes only after seeing two sides.Ordinary people may be able to see something based on what most people think.But Orochimaru's thinking obviously cannot be classified in the same range as ordinary people. At least the only thing I can be sure of from his eyes is that...he is not angry.

For me, that's enough.And his answer made me more confident about the success of the transaction.

"...I won't live past fifteen years." Judging from a doctor's point of view, in fact, this time is already the best estimate.The indifferent tone stated my future "destiny", and my indifferent expression seemed to be talking about something other than myself: "Maro, after the awakening of Blood Successor Limitation, will not survive seventeen in all likelihood." This judgment was made by I use this "example" as a basis, a frustrating... fact.

"...I know." I was a little surprised by my attitude, but it didn't make Orochimaru show surprise on his face.In other words, this kind of statement comes from my mouth, giving people a sense of course.

"I can't find any records of the case of 'shigumai' in the family, and naturally there is no solution to this genetic disease." Clearly aware of the current situation of myself and Jun Malu, I closed my forehead The pure white hair hanging down, after a slight pause, faced him and went straight to the topic: "Five years, our transaction time is five years."

"Within five years, you will arrange the study, training, and all the necessities of life for me and Junmalu, and fund the research of special medicines for the treatment of genetic diseases." These conditions are completely easy for Orochimaru with such a large base .It's just that based on my impression of him, he won't agree easily if he doesn't have enough interests.

really!Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, and said without my surprise: "Then what can I get?" Interesting, it's really a lion who opened his mouth!So confident that he will agree?From the tone of his voice, he seems to have guessed part of the "real purpose" of bringing them back... What a clever boy~ hehehe...

"You are using human body as an experiment." If I was just guessing on the way here, then after entering this room, it is already confirmed.Beakers, specimens, partially dismembered remains... Although there are no more sophisticated experimental instruments, I am no stranger to having worked in this field. As proof of the value of the chips... this is enough.

"In terms of human anatomy, I think my 'unique' technology can help." Emphasizing my own value, I began to explain what I have to pay: "Whether it is me or Jun Malu, as long as the strength reaches To a certain extent, you have the right to assign us to carry out missions during the trading hours, provided there is no threat to your life. After five years, no matter whether we can be cured or not, as long as the time is up and I am still alive, I will take Let Jun Ma Lu leave here and find a place to live in seclusion. And if I die, Jun Ma Lu will be your "tool" and live for you alone." I would rather he die fighting for one person than him Because of losing the goal of survival, and living like a walking dead...

Although I know that the man in front of me will never be a good person, but if he is, at least it will make Junma Lu feel... that he is happy...

"Did you have this plan from the beginning? Jun. Ma. Yi..." The eyes that looked at me became sharp in an instant, and Dashewan felt nothing but joy in addition to surprise.That "bargaining chip" really surprised him. He had thought that I would exchange allegiance and other conditions, but he didn't expect that I wanted a completely equal deal for both parties.Seemingly harsh conditions, but each leaves a certain degree of freedom and leeway.With a thorough grasp of the situation, and the bottom line of the other party's tolerance... He couldn't find a reason to refuse this deal.

So... maybe it's not bad!With an equal partnership, rather than control and submission between the boss and subordinates.Five years... it won't be boring anymore!Orochimaru smiled evilly, habitually stuck out his long tongue, licked the corner of his mouth and replied: "Okay, I agree!"

Although I was very sure at the beginning, when he really agreed, I was still slightly relieved in my heart.However, when I saw his weird tongue that was different from ordinary people, I still couldn't help being excited.When you have the opportunity, you must find time to study it!

"Hmm...? Is there anything else you can do with Jun Mai?" Looking at the one-eyed inexplicably shining with strange brilliance, Orochimaru's heart fluttered for a while, and he actually had a feeling of seeing himself in a state of frenzy.It seems that if he is so excited, it is probably related to research... What is he thinking! ?

"By the way, I almost forgot." After being reminded by him, I restrained my excited eyes as if awakened. Anyway, I will definitely have a chance in the future, so there is no need to worry... "Since we are just a cooperative relationship, don't use commands in the future." Speak to us in a tone, Orochimaru."

Turn the direction of the wheelchair. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for me to stay here.Without waiting for Orochimaru's answer, I turned around and left. When I walked to the door, I suddenly seemed to remember something, and I turned around and said, "Tell some little guy who has the habit of listening to the corner, even if you are jealous, don't behave like that." Obviously." The medicine smell on my body, remember to wash it off next time... However, I don't seem to have the obligation to remind him.

After speaking, the door was easily opened from the inside, and then closed.

"Hehehe...hahahaha..." At first it was just a suppressed laughter with slightly shrugged shoulders, but after a few seconds, a hoarse and slowly excited laughter echoed in the basement: "This is the first time I met such an interesting little guy... …Ah, no! You can’t treat him like a child when facing him! Dou, if you’re 'jealous’ with him, you have to be careful! Hahaha..." Oshemaru obviously listened to my previous challenge to Dou in the ear.

"Heh, heh heh..." He walked out of the secret passage in the room with a dry smile, and replied embarrassingly: "Master Orochimaru, I'll definitely" be careful..." My acting skills are really not good enough...Obviously it is the same Years old, why when I saw that person, I felt like I was facing Oshemaru-sama... Scary guy!

At that time, Dou didn't realize that from the first time I saw him, he subconsciously used honorifics.It's not a deliberate show of weakness, but just like an instinct when facing Orochimaru...
