attack on rotten oranges

Do I want to save him?

To save someone who helped me but also planned to hurt me?

The boy moved his body cautiously, quietly peeping at the scene of violence in the open space in front of the house.

More than a dozen people surrounded the intermediary, and the middle-aged man was like a ball, rolling around in the gaps between more than 20 legs.

The perpetrators cursed loudly, talked and laughed, and seemed to enjoy the cautious glances of fear in the windows of the surrounding houses.

After a while, he grabbed the backpack straps and slipped to the other side of the eaves.

"Bunbu Shuhei!" Bunbu Yue shouted angrily.

Xia Youjie, who was watching the boy's choice in fear, was startled by the angry cry. He rushed to the front of the eaves, but found that the crowd below did not notice anything unusual.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Youjie discovered a fact that he had ignored all the time: sometimes the communication between the Bunbu Shuhei siblings does not exist in the physical world, but through channels such as mantra or telepathy.

And the reason why he could hear the conversation between the siblings was because it was Shuhei Bunbube's memory, and the content of those conversations was part of Shuhei Bunbube's memory.

"..." Touched more and more secrets. Although Xia Youjie was still feeling heavy in his heart because of the betrayal of the middleman and the violence of Mafia, he still walked away for a while—hope that I will confess when I go out , Shuhei can still forgive me.

"I'm not going to save people, and I can't save him." The boy said calmly, his gray hair was coated with a layer of luster under the setting sun, and it felt like a metal-like inorganic substance. Burn scars."

"They are all members of [Purgatory House]."

When members of [Purgatory House] join the clan, they all need to burn a part of their body as the price for gaining power.Observing that special burn scar is the easiest way to judge whether a person is a member of [Purgatory House].

Even if Bunbu Shuhei awakened the spell, and with the help of Bunbu Yue's special magic spirit, he was still obviously not an opponent in the face of more than a dozen adult male supernatural beings.

"Both the king and his clan can see the curse spirit, so we have no chance of winning." Bunbe Shuhei quietly descended from the back of the house to the ground, under the cover of the weeds in the garden that had been left untouched since his father left, and groaned. Waist controlled the sound of footsteps and withdrew to the woods in the outskirts, "Most of the members of [Purgatory Shelter] are cruel and violent, the farther away from them the better."

As the distance increased, the wailing and scolding in Xia Youjie's ears gradually weakened, and his mood was complicated——

He knew Shuhei Bunbube's decision was correct, but the boy was too calm and decisive when he made the decision to give up the rescue, which gave people the illusion that he was being out of tune with the world.

The group of perpetrators all turned their backs to the direction of the boy, Shuhei Bunbu had successfully retreated a hundred meters away.

With a distance of less than a hundred meters, Bunbu Shuhei would be able to reach the forest.Into the woods, he will be completely safe...

"Hey! The person you are looking for is there!" A neighbor's window was suddenly pushed open, and someone shouted at the members of [Purgatory House].

Shuhei Bunbe raised his head in astonishment, and met a pair of eyes full of madness and malice.

Wenbu Shuhei recognized the other party - he heard that six years ago, his neighbor was surrounded and robbed by a group of minors near Rabo Street, and his two-year-old daughter was accidentally broken by the group of minors. died.

The neighbor, who lost his only daughter, has been a bit of a madman since then.His attitude towards Shuhei Bunbu two years ago was good, but as Shuhei Bunbu grew up and approached the age of those underage robbers, the attitude of the neighbors dropped sharply and became bad.

"Run!" Bunbu Yue's voice exploded like thunder, awakening Bunbu Shuhei who was stunned.

The boy stopped hiding his tracks and rushed towards the woods not far away.

[Purgatory Shelter] temporarily let go of the intermediary, and followed the direction pointed by the neighbor...

***

The distance of [-] meters, the dim light of the sky, and the suddenly complicated environment after entering the woods finally helped Shuhei Bunbu to escape successfully.

[Purgatory Shelter] The men backed out of the woods cursing, and the boy climbed among the branches of an evergreen tree, panting heavily.

"How do you feel?" After a moment of silence, Bunbu Yue asked.

"How about what? Oh, the broker and the neighbor?" Shuhei Bunbu adjusted his position to make himself more concealed, looking at the roof of the hut from afar, "It's okay."

"What's okay? Say it clearly." Xia Youjie could tell from Wenbu Youhui's tone that she was very upset.

Bunbu Yue was indeed very anxious. She didn't regret stopping her brother from saving his life, but she had to figure out the impact of the two betrayals she suffered just now on Bunbu Shuhei.

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't have any special opinion." Shuhei Bunbu put on a blanket in the chill brought by the night breeze, and said softly, "The [Purgatory Shelter] are acting for their own interests, Mr. Intermediary is acting for the life of my daughter , I act in order to survive safely, and Mr. Neighbor acts in order to vent his emotions, which is in line with the instinct of creatures to seek profit."

"From the principle of survival, there is nothing wrong with the Quartet, so only the weak will be harmed."

Fallacy.

Xia Youjie frowned, staring at the boy sitting straddling the tree branch with folded arms, distressed at being unable to refute on the spot—human beings are different from other creatures, have laws and morals, and cannot be measured by pure survival instinct .His first sentence, "[Purgatory Shelter] acting for the sake of profit is in line with instinct, so there is nothing wrong with it" is already a big mistake.

Weakness should not be the reason for a person to be hurt, and the strong should shoulder the responsibility of protection.

"After reading so many popular sciences, you see yourself as a social Darwinist?" Fortunately, there was Bunbu Youhui who slammed Bunbu Shuhei on the head instead of Xia Youjie.

She received the flesh and Wenbu Shuhei, and she could feel the boy's continuous magic power most: "Don't use the theory that you haven't convinced yourself to convince me!"

"..." Bunbu Shuhei leaned against the tree trunk and fell silent.

"It's still uncomfortable, isn't it?" The spell slipped from the boy's left arm, and Bunbu Yue stood in front of his younger brother.

"...Hmm." Bunbu Shuhei finally nodded.

"Let me analyze why you feel uncomfortable?" Wenbu Youhui said.

"No, forget it." The boy shook his head violently, his ears were reddish, and strongly refused, "I'll figure it out on my own."

It would be embarrassing for him to be dissected by others, even for his sister.

"Then... okay?" Wenbu Youe finished a sentence, which was interrupted by two consecutive gunshots.

The gunshots came from the direction of the cabin.

Bunbu Shuhei supported the tree trunk and stood up. Although he knew that he couldn't see the specific scene, he still looked at the hut from a distance.

"..."

Black smoke rose in the twilight, and among the houses where no one dared to light the lights because of the arrival of the thugs, the flames jumping on the buildings lit up the darkness...

Shuhei Bunbube's constricted pupils reflected thick smoke and flames. He opened his mouth and tried to make a sound several times, but he could only spit out intermittent breath sounds.The boy's fingers tightened unconsciously, gripping the rough bark of the tree trunk tightly.

Even though the bark had already left red marks on his palm, Bunbe Shuhei seemed to feel no pain, and just stared at the direction he came from...

Since the two pursuits and two searches failed, the unhappy members of [Purgatory House] set fire to the hut where Shuhei Bunbube and his father lived together...

The siren of the fire alarm roared across the night sky, but it still stopped not far from the burning hut——[Purgatory Shelter] Since they decided to teach the "ignorant little thing" some lessons, they will naturally not forget to seal it off. blocking the road.

Xia Youjie saw the boy's lips trembling slightly, and only when he got closer could he hear a faint voice——

"why……"

why?

Why does the solitary bird lose its last nest?

Why fate has ruthlessly snatched away the warmth in his life, but still refuses to leave even a cold room for mourning?

Xia Youjie couldn't answer.

After a long time, Bunbu Shuhei seemed to wake up suddenly, pulled his backpack and started rummaging frantically...

Blankets and clothes were thrown out indifferently and fell straight to the ground.

A wooden corner appeared in the backpack, Shuhei Bunbe pulled it out with trembling hands——

It's a photo frame, a photo frame of Shuhei Bunbube's siblings and their parents, a photo frame that Shuhei Bunbube stuffed in his bag before he left.

Bunbe Shuhei let go of his hand, and the backpack fell straight to the treetops, then he hugged the photo frame tightly in his arms and burst into tears.

Bunbu Youe hugged the crying boy, leaned his head against his chest, and gently stroked his gray hair...

The tears of the curse spirit were crystal clear, slipped across her sister's beautiful face, and dissipated soundlessly in the air...

***

After the building was completely burnt down, the [Purgatory Shelter] also left separately. They already had the intermediary's daughter in their hands, so they waited impatiently to catch a slippery kid.

With swollen eye sockets, Bunbu Shuhei went down the tree to pack his backpack. He took out the photo from the frame and put it on the innermost layer of his clothes with care, with only a thin layer of fabric separating him from his heart.

He took a long detour, blended into the crowd of onlookers, and finally came to the front of his former residence.

After the fire, the roof had completely caved in, and I knew it was unlikely that anything in the house would survive.The former hut stood alone with a few scorched walls, and it was a mess.

"..." Bunbu Shuhei raised his hand to straighten the bangs on his forehead, hiding his wet eyes again.

"There are two more corpses..."

"Whose? Burned to death..."

"No, didn't you hear the gunshot yesterday..."

"Is it Mafia? Murder and arson, it's too cruel..."

"They are getting more and more arrogant..."

Shuhei Bunbu heard the whispers of the two passing by in a hurry.

Two dead bodies?Shuhei Shuhei of the Ministry of Education focused his eyes and thought, Mr. Intermediary can almost be sure that there is more danger than good, but who is the extra one?

The wind lifted the white cloth covering the stretcher, and Shuhei Bunbe saw the neighbor's face with bullet holes between his eyebrows.

"..." Bunbu Shuhei closed his eyes, then turned and left.

Is it normal for people to hurt each other?

Shuhei Bunbu can now answer with certainty, yes.

Carrying his only luggage on his back, the boy walked into the alleys of Yokohama and stepped into the shadows with the last memory of his parents.

Scarred and bruised, he is like a porcelain doll covered with cracks, and his fate of shattering in chaos can already be foreseen...

The author has something to say:

The knives are almost finished ~ Gugu Whale seems to have finally touched a little bit of knives skills ~

Many friends asked when Odasaku and Dazai would appear, but Gugujing could only say that it would take a while, and Dazai appeared before Odasaku.

Useless hidden information in this chapter—

1. Six years ago, the juvenile robbers near Radium Bowl Street were 【sheep】.
