Remnant bones

Not far away, the berserk CKL that erupted before has completely disappeared.With my speed, it's not too late to catch up now.After all, this is a rare opportunity!but……

Looking at the sobbing little guy in my arms, I sighed helplessly, tightened my grip, and patted his back comfortingly.

I didn't say much, although Jun Malu was brought up by me, but it was the first time I encountered this kind of situation, even I have no experience at all.When he completely vents the negative emotions in his heart, he should slowly stop.All he needs now is someone to rely on and someone to confide in.

I, as long as I listen quietly like this...

As for the "Renzhuli" matter... Forget it, anyway, I'm already planning to go to find out the news at night, so let's proceed according to the plan.Chasing up like this in broad daylight can easily attract the attention of Sha Yin's senior management, and he is not in a hurry.As long as "he" is still in this village... I don't worry about not having a chance!

The problem now is... this look seems a bit eye-catching.

Facing the sights gathered around me, I frowned, and didn't explore where the disgust contained in them came from. I just leaned sideways, and whispered in a slow tone next to the little guy's ear: "Hurry up!" Me, let's talk in another place."

"Hmm..." The little head buried in my arms shook twice and let out a low muffled groan.

Automatically translated it as "agree", I easily picked him up with one hand, and strode into an alley beside the road.When curious people followed in, they found that there was no one in the empty alley.

No one noticed that in a shadow not far away, the air twisted inadvertently.In an instant, the usual tranquility was restored, as if it was just an illusion caused by the high temperature evaporating water vapor under the scorching sun.

However...it wasn't completely unnoticed.At least, I am one of them.

Arranging Anbu protection for a child who is only six or seven years old?The little guy's parents seem to be the upper echelons of Sand Hidden...but it's a bit troublesome, so I can't completely get rid of it!Really... It's not comfortable to be watched like this.

Quickly shuttled between the shadows between the houses, I thought about it, and decided to let these two "followers" be honest for a while.

The free left hand shook slightly, and two transparent glass tube-like objects as thick as index fingers slid out.Without looking back, I threw them in the direction of the two Anbu's based on my feeling.

Since I didn't use any method of throwing kunai and other ninja tools, I just threw them in the way of ordinary people.The two Anbu couldn't help feeling contemptuous, one of them easily sideways to avoid it, and the other even took it firmly in his hand, as if reminding me of the powerlessness of this "attack".But they obviously didn't pay attention to what exactly the thing I threw... It's not just the explosive charm that will explode!

"Boom!" "Boom!" With two extremely slight blasting sounds, light blue smoke gushed out of the small transparent glass tube.Before he even had time to scream, the two black figures in the smoke paused, rolled their eyes, and collapsed to the ground.

"Idiot..." I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth, I couldn't help but feel ashamed for the instructors in Anbu.He worked so hard to train an elite Chunin, but he was released so easily by two tubes of sweat medicine! "Inertial thinking"...sometimes it really kills people!

However, it's no wonder they fell to the ground so easily.Those two tubes of perspiration medicine... are not "cheap goods".

Since my main subject is surgery of western medicine, even though I have all the principles of Chinese medicine that Jun Mai learned by himself when I was a child, they are all superficial formulas after all, and I am not good at medicine.On the contrary, there are quite in-depth researches on this aspect!In his free time, he can always concoct some weird medicines based on some of my descriptions.

This Mongolian sweat medicine is the evolution model of the most common drug.It is normal that the potency is three times stronger, and the most important thing is... the permeability of this thing is too good!Not to mention the instant effect, even if you wear a three-layer padded jacket, you can't prevent it!Unless the clothes are comparable to the anti-virus suits in my original world, which are not breathable at all.

Of course, if the performance is really so perfect, when I went to steal Biye Luoqi, I just took two medicines, wouldn't everything be OK?But the problem is... This medicine can only work in the sun in the open air.

Usually solid, once exposed to light, it will vaporize immediately, causing the glass to expand and burst.Its drug effect can at least cause the opponent to be unconscious for more than three days, and the remaining drug will be completely decomposed into harmless gas by sunlight after 30 seconds... The best assassination equipment has tasteless auxiliary conditions.

Playing assassination in the sun in broad daylight...that ninja is definitely "brain pumping"!

Therefore, in the end, these waste products that were "eliminated" became my "toys".Occasionally use this to make some harmless "small jokes" with the people in the secret place... It can be regarded as "making the best use of everything"!Ah……

"...Big brother?" Seemingly hearing something, the little guy rubbed his big red eyes and asked suspiciously.Did something... fall?

"It's nothing." I found the roof of a relatively remote abandoned house, and I hugged him and leaned against a shadow on the balcony on the second floor, messed up his short red hair, and said softly: "It's better." Is it?" Eyes are red... I am afraid that this child will rarely cry like this...

"..." Stiffly trying to squeeze out a smile, but on that tender face covered with tears, she looked more and more helpless.I don't know how to answer, although I know that I can't make others worry.But lying in this warm embrace, he felt that he could never become 'strong'...

It's okay... okay, let's be 'weak' for a while... in front of this person... I can't help but let go of my only vigilance. Emerald green eyes.The hands that grabbed my skirt were involuntarily loosened and tightened. Suddenly, he murmured to me as if he was talking to himself: "...what should I do...what should I do..."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" My gaze seemed to give me a sense of oppression. I frowned slightly, looked away, and looked up at the blue sky without any clouds.

The gorgeous sunshine is extremely dazzling, making this place full of yellow sand look hot and unbearable all the time... I don't know if it is my illusion, it is clearly in a place where the sun cannot shine, but it is still... so hot...

Involuntarily reaching out to touch my temples, rubbing them gently, I forced myself to regain my senses.Looking down at the little guy in his arms, he saw his face sullen without saying a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Although there is no longer the distressing smile from before, this expression...is not reassuring..."If you don't want to say it, forget it...I don't intend to force you, don't worry."

"I..." Can you say it?Without the previous anxiety, I couldn't help but start to struggle with contradictions in my heart.He is hesitating, although the eldest brother is not from the village, but if he knows that he is a "monster"... Will he still hug him like this?Does this gentleness... really belong to me...?

The little guy looked up at the stern side face of the white-haired boy with fear, worry, and a trace of hidden deep expectation.In the blue and white eyes, apart from indifference, he was still indifferent, but he who was also lonely could see... the swaying of the warmest waves in the deepest part.

It can be said... because, he was with me.

In an instant, the little guy made up his mind.Even if he fails again, he is willing to gamble again!Not for anything else, just because...

"I like big brother! I like Yashamaru as much as I like!" - He wanted to believe it.

"I..." Biting his lips, he opened up his last trust, and slowly, with a heavy tone that a child shouldn't have, he said word by word: "I hurt my most important person... Hurt Yashamaru." With that cursed power...

"He's dead?" As if I didn't notice his nervousness, I asked in an understated tone, as if inadvertently.Hurting... the "most important person"?No wonder...

"Hmm... Hey, ah!? How, how come!" I was taken aback by what I asked, and the little guy's unprepared look made my brows stretch out so cutely. One point.In order to correct the language error he made in panic, he tried his best to explain my misunderstanding: "It's just because of me, Yashamaru's hand...bleeds..." Such a big wound...

Just hurt...so that's it.From his reaction, I can basically judge the general situation at that time, and I also have a preliminary understanding of the reason for his panic.I found the "key"... as long as it is properly induced.

Having made the above judgment, I chuckled secretly, and intentionally misinterpreted his words: "So, did you mean it?"

"No!" This time, he was not frightened by me as before, and the little guy firmly denied without hesitation: "I never thought of hurting him! If it wasn't for the sudden power... I never thought of hurting anyone. People..." Whether it's Yashamaru, or someone else...

"Then..." Stretching out my hand to straighten his face, instead of restraining my aura, I concentrated my pressure on him.Under the snow-colored hair, the silver-white right eye glowed with light gold.I used my most gentle yet unresistable tone, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you afraid? Or... escaping?"

"No, no...I..." The soft words seemed to turn into a bolt from the blue, piercing his chest completely.

I... am afraid?Subconsciously retreated and struggled.However, under those strange-colored pupils, there seemed to be an inexplicable power that was urging him to tell the deepest secret.It's frightening, but reassuring... Should I admit it?Acknowledging my weakness...running away...right...no matter other people, only him...Yashamaru's words...and...

"Tell me, what are you afraid of?" Seeing the emerald pupils avoiding my sight, my faith began to waver.I didn't stop, and pressed forward without slackening: "Afraid of others' disgust? Yashamaru's hatred? Or..."

"... yourself?" Come on... say it... just say it...

"I... myself?" Right... from the moment I was born, it has always been... what I'm afraid of, it's always been the 'monster' myself... I thought that the tears that I had shed had already dried up, once again slipped down his cheek.The thin body couldn't help but began to tremble slightly.Suddenly, he seemed to be able to hear the familiar sharp ridicule deep in his mind.

But...meeting the icy eyes in front of him that had never changed in the slightest, he couldn't help but feel the warmth that he had never had before...Say it, it's okay...it's definitely possible!

Because I... am no longer alone!

"I...I'm afraid, afraid of myself! Afraid of being hated by others! Afraid of being hated by my father! Afraid that I will not be recognized by this world! Even... Yashamaru... there is no one... woo..." Hidden for a long time The deepest 'secret' is revealed in an instant.No more escaping, no more fear... For the first time, face the darkness and cruelty of this world head-on.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, just , I just want to be an ordinary person! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…” instead of the suppressed sobs before, the little guy buried his head in my arms, crying loudly without any calculation.

This way...it's much easier.Sighing slowly, I patted his back lightly and said nothing more.However, at an angle he didn't see, the pale thin lips turned into a subtle arc.

The cold sweat slid down from the corner of his forehead to his chin, wetting a little dark mark on the little guy's back, but the person concerned didn't notice it.

Sure enough... A familiar but unfamiliar tingling sensation gradually emerged and spread from the already numb toes.The smile that was rarely revealed before disappeared instantly, I squinted my eyes and gritted my teeth secretly.Actually at this time... I was careless!Actually forgot that 'curse'... No, don't let the little guy see it!

"Then... brat." Trying my best to suppress my rapid breathing, I raised my head and let my long hair cover most of my face.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

"You...are you willing to believe it again? Believe in human beings again... Believe in Yashawan again." I stroked his furry head, so that he couldn't look up naturally, I bit my lip and asked slowly: " Haven't said it yet... said 'You like Yashamaru the most'..." The legs started to twitch...

"...Well, I want to believe it again! Believe in Yashamaru...he, he treats me..." The person who has been protecting me and accompanying me for so many years!Raising a shy but warm happy smile, on his face, the dark and murderous aura no longer emerges.

Disappeared?Of course...impossible.Is it 'light' or 'dark'?The source of all this can only be solved by themselves.From beginning to end... I only stood behind him, not in front of him.

"Go." Let go of my hand, and I gently put him on the ground.Leaning her head against his ear, she whispered with encouragement and comfort: "Go bravely face the reality of this world. I... will wait for you 'there'." At least today...

The arms on his shoulders pushed him a step forward.The next moment, the limbs seemed to no longer belong to me, and they fell softly to the sides.Accompanied by the heart-wrenching pain of ant-eating... I really miss it... However, it is not unbearable.

"Then... big brother." Without looking back, the base of Xiaoqiao's ears was slightly flushed.The little guy seemed to be embarrassed, took a deep breath, and forced out two words; "Thank you..." After saying that, he ran downstairs sullenly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Thank...thank you...cough, cough cough..." Slowly closing his eyes, the illness that had already fully flared up was no longer controllable by the so-called rationality and spirit!Black and purple blood froth gradually overflowed from the corner of my mouth, as if mocking my unnecessary 'naivety'.If the so-called 'love' was really so easy to obtain... this world would not have fallen to such a degree...

'People's hearts'... how would you choose?Yashamaru...
