[Comprehensive] Light and Shadow

"I know."

Not only Shimada Hideo was stunned by the simple three words, but even Shinichi Izumi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I'm not joking!" Quan Xinyi said angrily, just looking at the calm and indifferent expression on the boy's face, and the light and simple tone of his words.The elder brother beside him is not the real elder brother, and his own elder brother is dead. No matter how he thinks about this kind of news, he will be frightened and panicked.

"You are so strange." The young man raised his eyebrows and looked at Quan Xinyi speechlessly, "It was you who forced me to believe your words. I said I knew it. Why are you so angry?"

"What are you asking me? He, he, he is not your brother!" Quan Xin stared at the boy incomprehensibly.He still remembered the sharp and insane pain in his heart after seeing his mother being taken over by a parasitic beast, and the anger and hatred that he desperately wanted to avenge afterwards.

And as his biological younger brother, how could he accept such a cold and cruel parasitic beast who killed his relatives so easily, and pretend he didn't know anything?

"I've said it all, I know." The boy already had a helpless expression on his face, "So what?"

"Are you crazy!" Quan Shinichi opened his mouth slightly, feeling the urge to suffocate, and then yelled out suddenly, pointing at the calm Shimada Hideo, "He killed your brother to occupy So what if you say that about this body? He killed your relatives!"

Hideo Shimada's fingers trembled slightly, and he looked at Shinichi Izumi with a deep storm in his hazy eyes.

"Hideo Shimada and I are half-brothers, and the relationship between us is not good." The boy said lightly.

"Just because of this? So it doesn't matter if your brother was killed?" Quan Xinyi felt his throat a little dry, just because of a bad relationship, can he let his brother die and pretend he doesn't care?

"Eight years ago, my parents and I were in a car accident. Both my parents died, and you saw me with disabled legs." The boy said casually, but it didn't sound like he was talking about his own affairs, "Then My brother never cared about me again."

"Even if you don't care about you, then he is your only relative." Quan Xin was taken aback for a moment, then said hesitantly.

"Even so, did he lock me up at home for eight years?" There was a trace of coldness in the young man's purple eyes.

How many eight years a person has, and how many eight years he can have.

For eight full years, he was locked in that small house, and the only light was the window looking outside.

When he woke up from the hospital at the age of eight, his life was completely plunged into darkness. Both his parents died and his legs were crippled. As an older brother, Hideo Shimada blamed him for all his faults. His hatred, his In the end, his anger can only be carried by his younger brother.And he, after losing everything, did not hear a word of comfort from his brother.

【Why didn't you die. 】

At that time, when he opened his eyes, he heard the first words of Shimada Hideo who was standing by the bed with a gloomy face.

Is it really his fault?he does not know.

He and his only brother, even if they live in the same house, are like enemies who hate each other.Those cold and hateful eyes, sharp and sarcastic words, angry and dissatisfied beatings and scolding, each of them crazily tore his heart.He had quarreled, quarreled, complained, hated, and as brothers they had also quarreled arrogantly and domineeringly, and in the end these glooms disappeared little by little in silence.

Then, after Shimada lived in school, he could finally stay at home alone, without having to put up with that man, and his brother didn't have to put up with him as a cripple anymore.He was sitting in a wheelchair alone, wandering around the empty house over and over again, thinking about how to spend the boring whole day day by day, and then he just watched the sunrise and sunset like this. He has been here alone for so many years .

The most people in this world are those who are neither expected nor needed.

And he happened to be one of them.

He sometimes thought that maybe one day when Shimada came back and saw him starving to death in his room, he would not be surprised, let alone feel sad for him.

Yes, even if he died, the world would just silently lose a person who was forgotten by everyone.

"I don't care who is carrying me behind my back now." The boy's hands were slowly tightened, he hugged Shimada Hideo's neck tightly, and then tried to put his cheeks close to Shimada's face, "I only know, He is the first person to take me out in eight years, he is the first person to eat the ramen I cooked, he is the first person to tell me that I am back, he is the first person to cook for me The man is he..."

"Isn't that enough?" That's enough.

It was enough for this teenager to place all his dependence on a person who didn't know who it was.

Quan Xinyi looked at the boy dumbly, and looked at the boy with complicated eyes. Finally, his voice was a little dry and trembling, "Even if he is a monster that eats people? Does it matter if he eats you?"

"This world is like this, isn't it? Everything has a law. Cows eat grass, people eat cows, and there will naturally be creatures that eat humans. This kind of food chain is a natural law. Since no one interferes with people eating cows, humans You don't have the right to interfere with other races eating you." The boy said lazily, then suddenly realized, and widened his purple eyes, "Wait!"

"Brother, do you actually eat people!" The boy leaned into Shimada Hideo's ear and shouted in surprise, "You won't always treat me as a food reserve!"

The corners of Quan Xinyi's eyes twitched, why did this person grasp the point until now.

"I treat you like grass." Shimada Hideo finally spoke, turning his face slightly so that his eyes could see the boy's eyes.

The boy burst out laughing, "So you don't eat grass? Do you want cows to eat me?"

Quan Xinyi couldn't stand being in front of him, a human being and a parasitic beast looked at each other like flirting brothers and sisters, put his right hand next to his ear and asked softly what he should do now.

Finally, after a little quarrel with You, Quan Shinichi went back with a troubled expression on his face, and after this episode, this time the Shimada brothers took a particularly long walk after dinner.

Finally back in the house, the boy lay on Shimada Hideo's back and sighed deeply, "I'm back."

Shimada Hideo paused and said again, "I'm back."

The boy reached out to turn on the light, and Shimada Hideo put the boy back on the wheelchair, but the boy suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Brother, I'm sorry." The young man raised his eyes and looked at Shimada seriously, "I said I would consider Mrs. Fujimoto's matter, but in fact I was ready to agree. If I want to talk about the reason... because I know that brother will die on that day .”

"Brother, I can see the date everyone died."

He didn't understand at first, so he would tell the date directly, and gradually someone died, and the people around him suddenly remembered that a child had mentioned this date.What cannot be explained by science is always the scariest thing. There are people whispering about him around him, but he doesn't know why, and he doesn't know why his parents' eyes are getting more and more strange.

But later, he finally understood that this date was not good, and bad things would happen on that day.He saw that the date of the same day of his parents was getting closer and closer. He told his parents, but his parents frowned and told him not to talk about such things and stop talking nonsense.

As the days approached, he became more and more frightened and restless, until he suddenly fell ill, had a fever and vomited continuously.

On that day, his parents had a car accident while they were taking him to the hospital when he was sick. Both of them died of serious injuries, and his legs were disabled.

Therefore, when the elder brother blamed him for the death of his parents, he actually admitted it.

No matter how bad Shimada Hideo was to him, he was still his brother, and he never thought of leaving.But after Shimada Hideo died, he had no reason to stay here anymore.

Maybe he really resented Hideo Shimada all the time in his heart. Seeing the date of his death approaching a little bit, he felt a hysterical pleasure and a sense of breaking free, but at the same time, a blunt feeling spread from the bottom of his heart. Rubbing pain, the only relative in this world who remembers him is about to leave.

"I know, brother will die that day. But after a few days, you came back."

Shimada Hideo didn't know how shocked he was when he saw the dead person appearing at the door, and the date on Shimada changed.At first he thought that something changed Shimada's fate, but the reaction of Shimada Hideo standing at home was enough to prove that he was not his brother.

His elder brother would not nod and respond to him when he called his elder brother, and was so cold and mean that he refused to give him a word;

His elder brother would not have dinner with him at the same table, let alone say something delicious after eating the ramen he made himself;

His elder brother wouldn't touch the head of the younger brother he hated the most, look at him seriously, and promise to have dinner together tomorrow...

This person is not his brother.

But it doesn't matter, anyone is fine, as long as someone can stay by his side, it doesn't matter who is.

"So I won't leave, and brother is not allowed to leave me. As for Mrs. Fujimoto, I will refuse. Brother, don't be angry with me, I really just want to be with brother forever." The boy pouted, acting like a baby Grabbing Shimada Hideo's hand with both hands, he looked seriously into Shimada Hideo's calm eyes with a bright light in his purple eyes.

"Okay." Shimada Hideo lowered his eyes, looked at the hand holding him, then looked at the human's eyes, and slowly spit out a word.Then he slowly raised his left hand and stroked that human's hair. He remembered that this human liked to be stroked like this.

"That brother should apologize to me too." After Shimada Hideo said yes, the boy's purple eyes suddenly lit up, he lowered his head slightly and rubbed against Shimada Hideo's palm, then raised the corners of his mouth happily, But he still looked at the man seriously, "Because I lied to me too, so I have to apologize."

"I'm sorry." Shimada Hideo naturally didn't care about the three words of apology, even if he didn't know what was wrong with him.

"Ah, by the way, there is one more thing." The young man smiled with crooked eyebrows, "If I say that the date of my death is coming soon, will brother be sad?"

Shimada Hideo twisted his fingers, frowned slightly and looked seriously into the boy's eyes, as always, honest and true.

Will this human die?But sad, what is that emotion?

"It's a pity, no way." The boy curled his lips, and said with regret, but he didn't bother to ask any more questions.His expression became a little sad, and his purple eyes slightly looked away, but he didn't continue to speak.

Hideo Shimada cannot understand many human emotions. When he took over this body, he felt a lot of consciousness, such as anger, hatred, pain, and negativity. Most of the original human emotions are negative. There is no need to understand.

But when he saw the young man in front of him, the familiar light that shone in those purple pupils disappeared, and the color of the pupils became completely silent. When they were quiet, they looked extraordinarily fragile. Those eyes that he once said were beautiful seemed silent. Speaking of the emptiness in his heart, at least Hideo Shimada subjectively didn't want to see the boy's eyes like this.

When the boy stopped talking, the whole house immediately fell silent.

"I can manage this body for 70 years." Shimada Hideo suddenly said something that puzzled the boy.

The young man looked up at Shimada in a dazed and puzzled manner.

"If you die, I can transfer into your body, so that I can manage your body and preserve your memory. Your physical fitness is too poor, and I can only manage it for 30 years. But if you want to If we want to be together forever, this is also a way to coexist together." Hideo Shimada's face was calm and indifferent, but he said something that was completely shocking to humans.

Shimada Hideo's tone was still so flat, but his expression was very serious, as if he had given the greatest promise he could give.

The young man froze where he was, and then burst out laughing, the corners of his mouth were drawn so that his eye sockets were a little red.

"It sounds good."
