The found Tuo is three and a half years old

"Alexey."

I put the teacup aside, and my tone became unusually harsh.

"Is there wisteria in the tea?"

"Don't like it?"

The man who was standing in front of the operating table was copying his pocket with one hand, while holding a thin-bladed scalpel in the other.

I frowned.

If it is someone else, maybe it can be regarded as ignorance, but Alexei himself said that he has collected a lot of information about "ghosts". He has no reason not to know this kind of information.

But he brought me a cup of tea mixed with wisteria flowers with a nonchalant face.

"I didn't mean to lie to you, but since we want to experiment, it's better to numb your nerves a little bit, isn't it?" Alexei's eyes no longer had the gentleness of the past, replaced by a feeling as if facing Greed like prey.

"You don't like pain, and I'm also..."

"For your sake."

"What do you want to do?"

I subconsciously wanted to retreat, but suddenly found that my body was a little weak.

"It took a lot of effort. To make such an arrangement."

The man raised his lips and walked up to me: "It is said that the senses of 'ghosts' are much more sensitive than ordinary humans, especially for the deadly wisteria scent."

While speaking, Alexei had already come in front of me. He touched the ground on one knee, stretched out his fingers and gently brushed my ears.

"What beautiful material. I've been waiting ten years for this day."

Compared with my body temperature, Alexei's fingertips are too hot, but what is hotter than that is the man's gaze looking at me.

That kind of gaze makes people tremble unconsciously.

"It's a good thing I'm a doctor. I carefully determined the dosage and used other spices as a cover. You haven't noticed it until now."

The man curled his lips proudly: "From the moment you got into the car, you have been surrounded by wisterias."

Pupils constricted.

I really didn't realize that I had inhaled a large amount of poison from wisteria flowers unconsciously.Even though my physique is quite special compared to other "ghosts", and I am relatively less affected by the toxin, but after such a long time, my actions are still unavoidably restricted.

Alexei's hand ran down my collarbone and landed on mine.

He put my hand in his palm and kissed lightly on the back of his hand.

"It's really an exciting moment. Over the years, in order to find out about 'supernatural powers', I have dealt with countless supernatural beings—but compared to a special existence like yours, those guys are more like appetizers .”

"'Ghosts' are special toys created by the Creator, and you are the most special one among the 'ghosts'—"

"Ah, how lucky I am to have your body in my pocket."

"Ali... Kexie..."

Because of the onset of the toxin, I even struggled to speak, and my vision gradually blurred. I wanted to glare at the man in front of me, but I found that I couldn't even do this.

"I have other uses for that kid Fyodor, so don't worry." Alexei covered my eyes with his palm: "That's an amazing kid, if he's here, I don't think it will all go so smoothly."

"But he will find out about this sooner or later. Before he attacks me, I will send him to your side."

"—Of course, in another world."

Consciousness was almost shaky, and I gritted my teeth, trying to make myself more conscious.

It didn't work though.

In front of wisteria, any struggle is futile.

I never thought that the leader of the "Necromantic Society" who had taken care of me and Fyodor for ten years would have ulterior motives from the very beginning.

Having said that, the reason why he can become the leader is because I rescued him at the intersection of the street, and severely injured Boristley and the previous generation of cadres, saying that Alexei used my strength It's not an exaggeration to just get the chance to control the "Necromancer Society", but this man actually wants to deal with me in such a way at this moment.

"Everything is within my plan." He whispered next to my ear: "We will have a good time. Ms. Haruko Tsurumi from the East."

"you……"

"I'm different from my brother who is only confused by appearances. Compared with those boring things in the world, it's more interesting to find out why those special existences appear, isn't it?"

"Maybe this will be called science, but what I want is to see the [truth] about this world—"

"With your body."

His voice also became more ethereal.Something seemed to stick to my skin, but the five senses sealed by the poison of wisteria made it impossible for me to tell what was happening now.

Until another exaggerated voice suddenly rang in the ear.

"I'm very sorry for the sudden interruption in the middle of your performance, but unfortunately, this stage belongs to me now!"

It seemed that some liquid had slipped down my throat and entered my body. I don't know how long it took before I finally regained consciousness slowly.

My body is still a little weak, but at least my senses are no longer as dull as before——

I felt as if I was surrounded by a familiar atmosphere, and with it, there was warmth covering my whole body.

"tip?"

Mumbling, I unconsciously called out the name.

The next moment, it seemed like someone was holding my hand.Immediately afterwards, a voice as low as a cello humming came from the side of my ear.

"I'm here, Haruko."

"Sorry, I'm late."

I opened my eyes abruptly, only to see that boyish face with a bit of childishness that hadn't completely faded was being enlarged in front of my eyes.

The young man lowered his head, and his purple eyes reflected my appearance—as if I used to hold him in his arms, but at this moment I was completely surrounded by him.

—I didn't even know this guy had grown so big.

"Why are you here?"

Although it was a bit reluctant for me to speak, I still asked this sentence: "The tip is not to find..."

"Because I think that man has malicious intentions." Fyodor tapped my lips lightly with his fingertips, preventing me from continuing: "Haruko, please rest well first. Although I have used the antidote for the time being, I am afraid it will still Some damage is inevitable. Even I didn't expect that guy to use wisteria flowers in such a way."

"I'll tell Haruko everything after it's over."

While speaking, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently—but this was not an ordinary earthquake, but caused by a fierce battle in the basement.

The arms on my shoulders tightened a little, and Fyodor actually put on a protective posture in front of me at this moment.

I never thought that one day I would become the protected party in front of this child.

"Don't worry Haruko, it will be over soon."

Fyodor said softly.

Just as he said, the sound of fierce fighting from the ground quickly subsided, and then, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the entrance leading to the ground.

Slow and heavy, as if he had been hit hard.

It didn't take long for the owner of the footsteps to appear in front of us.The tall young man had a few bloodstains on his body, and the clothes he had tidy up just now had become tattered.His face was covered with dust and sweat——

But even with this embarrassing appearance, when he saw Fyodor and me, the man still showed a sinister smile.

"Ah, Fei Jia, we meet again." He was holding a pistol with a silencer in his hand, with green smoke still emitting from the muzzle: "It's really a wonderful arrangement, just a little bit, just a little bit away. One touch and you can kill me without a hitch."

"But unfortunately, the clown you found is not reliable, as for that guy Ivan—"

While talking, he raised his arm with some effort: "Who do you think watched him grow up. You are a little too naive to want those two people to deal with me."

The muzzle of the black hole pointed straight at where we were, and Alexei gently hooked the trigger with his finger: "You can't escape."

"That guy is my prey, the best material, and I won't let you escape."

While talking, he dragged his injured body and moved towards us: "It's daytime outside, so I knew you were still here. Ah—young man, pay the price for your impulsiveness and immaturity."

"boom!"

Suddenly there was a deafening gunshot, but it didn't come from Alexei's position, because the sound was too close.

Even though the boy lightly covered my ears with one hand, the sound still made my ears tingle for a moment.

And when I came back to my senses, I saw the young man who was holding me looking at Alexi blankly. What he was holding in his hand was exactly what Alexei had given as a birthday present in the winter of the previous year. Give him the pistol|gun.

There was a moment of astonishment on Alexei's face, but he quickly came back to his senses, sneered and turned the gun in a circle: "Young man, where are you shooting?"

"It looks like this is the first time you've touched this kind of thing, right? How about it, can your hands still move?"

The corner of Fyodor's lips curled slightly, but even if he didn't answer, I could still feel the trembling of his arm holding the gun.

The huge recoil was really too heavy for that weak boy.

"Well, although I don't want to hurt you, it's not an option to continue like this—let me tell you how to use this thing."

Alexey pointed his gun at Fyodor: "It's my last lesson for you."

I don't know where the strength came from, but when the silenced gunshots sounded, I struggled violently, turned around and covered the boy under me.

The sound of bullets piercing flesh was clearly audible, and the air was instantly filled with the stench of blood.The powerful impact paralyzed my nerves in an instant, and after a while, the pain swept over me overwhelmingly.

Fortunately, this degree of pain can just make my consciousness clearer.

Although my physical strength has not fully recovered, although I can't fully exert my strength, that man is now threatening me and Fyodor's life, so no matter what I do, I must get rid of him .

"Vampire Art—"

The flame condensed in the palm was as weak as a star candle swaying in the wind. With this level of flame, it was difficult to even fly close to that man, let alone cause any substantial damage.

Not enough, not enough!

I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and made a gesture to forcibly accumulate energy.

But at this moment, Fyodor suddenly grabbed my wrist.

I startled.Just as I was dazed, the sound of bullets popping out echoed in the room again.

But this time, there was no smoke and flames from the muzzle of Alexei's gun, but the front of his clothes was suddenly soaked in blood.

"Bang bang bang-"

The gunfire did not stop, but directly connected into a series.Alexei opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and twisted his neck with some effort.

Because of the serious gunshot wound, the man's trembling legs could no longer support his tall body, and when that body finally collapsed to the knees, I saw the boy who appeared at the door.

ivan.

The little guy's lips were stained with blood, and his eyes were almost stained with scarlet.There were wounds all over his body, even a bullet wound on his shoulder blade, but he didn't care.

Gritting his teeth firmly, the boy crazily pulled the trigger on Alexei who had fallen to the ground until the bullets in the gun were completely emptied.

"You... guy..."

Alexei stretched out his hand feebly, and vainly stretched out in Ivan's direction.But the scars on his body sealed all his movements.

He writhed on the ground, as if he wanted to turn over, but such a struggle was futile after all.

"clear……"

"……son……"

"mine……"

The man's hand finally hangs down powerlessly, and his weak voice is completely eliminated along with the flame of life.

However, Ivan still maintained the posture of raising the gun, and even kept pulling the trigger one after another - at this moment, he seemed to be unable to perceive everything around him.

"Over the years, there have been successive cases of disappearances in the town, and the culprit is not Gogol." Fyodor turned over and sat up, looking at Ivan who was almost insane not far away: "It's Alexei. When his father took over as leader, he began to deliver 'experiments' to his underground laboratory."

"What did you say that you wanted to study the origin of the ability? For such an absurd purpose, he dissected all the people with abilities that were sent into that laboratory."

Fyodor lowered his eyes lightly: "Thinking about it now, when Andre wanted to catch me, he probably wanted to send it to that guy's experimental bench."

"However, compared to ordinary supernatural beings like me, Haruko as a 'ghost' made him more curious, so he spent so long setting up this trick, the purpose is to trick you into the experimental stage, Haruko."

"You already knew?" I looked at Fyodor in astonishment.

"It's not too early. It's just that I just hacked into his computer some time ago and saw a series of his arrangements, so I probably deduced his plan." Fyodor replied: "He probably also noticed that I found That's why I want to send me away. As for Ivan—"

While talking, Fyodor stood up, walked to Ivan who was still in a mad state, raised his hand and gently held the hand of the boy holding the gun: "Okay Ivan, you have avenged your sister .”

"Sister?" My eyes widened, and it took me a while to realize: "You mean, Ivan's sister, who you failed to find when you sneaked into the headquarters of the Necromancer Society, was actually killed by Alexei... "

Fyodor nodded.

"That means he has been in touch with Boristrie? Then why did he..."

"Because only with the help of our strength, he can become the leader of the 'Necromancer Society' at the fastest speed." Fyodor took the gun from Ivan's hand: "The thing that happened back then was entirely his hand. It was planned. Including that we will be discovered by Boris Strie when sneaking in, including Haruko that you will come to rescue us."

I was a little speechless for a while.

"Okay, Ivan, everything is in the past." Fyodor turned his head to look at the blue-haired boy who was on the verge of collapse due to anger and sadness: "I will help you remove the part that perceives pain, from now on After that, you can never have to feel bad about anything."

Saying this, he raised his hand and tapped lightly on the back of Ivan's neck, and the boy's body collapsed limply.

"Gogol's ability is the "coat", which can freely teleport objects within a range of 30 meters.He was invited by me to act in such a play, and he was put in a dungeon as a 'prisoner'. "

"But that level of cage can't hold him at all. The reason why he waited obediently there is just because of today's farce."

"Thanks to his presence, I was able to rescue Haruko as quickly as possible, but his role is not limited to this."

After Ivan was settled, Fyodor turned back again.

At the same time, footsteps came from the passage leading to the basement, and then two white-haired teenagers appeared in my sight.One of them was Gogol dressed as a clown, and the other was a strange boy with long hair and scarlet eyes.

"Haruko, as I said, I will bring back the blue Higan flower to Haruko."

He bent his knees and squatted in front of me who was still sitting on the ground, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the top of my hair: "I did it."
