Gunslinger from Butei

"Why do you say 'rescue'?" Xia Youjie also easily followed the little girl. Seeing that she was struggling to walk, he picked her up and consciously acted as a means of human transportation.

"Go over there—oh, it's because Dun was locked in the underground punishment room by the dean." Xiao Haiyin said in a low voice, "It's very dark there. When the dean is there, it's like a different person. Dun will be taught a bad lesson every time."

"Is it a lynching?" Xia Youjie frowned slightly, "Should the principal not have the right to treat the children like this? This is already a crime."

"Crime?" Xiao Haiyin blinked with curiosity, "What is crime?"

Xia Youjie paused, looked down at Haiyin's small face, and said softly, "...it's a bad thing. Speaking of which, is Haiyin old enough to go to school?"

"Is it study? The aunt in the library will teach me how to read." Xiao Haiyin thought for a while and answered.

"That's right." Xia Youjie fell silent.

After 5 minutes, the quiet Xia Youjie perfectly acted as a human vehicle, bringing Xiao Haiyin to an underground building.

"This is the prison cell." Xia Youjie stared at the iron railing in front of him calmly.Rust stains are mixed with long-dried bloodstains, as if telling some kind of cruel history.

The entrance to this place is very hidden, if not for Haiyin to lead the way, it would be difficult for outsiders to find this place.

Xia Youjie's instinct as a magician made Xia Youjie feel the strong negative emotions here.

But even if the negative emotions were so strong, the curse spirit he was accustomed to was still not born.

Even though he had guessed before, he was still a little shocked at this moment. This is... the world Haiyin is in.A perfect world without magic spirits.

After Xiao Haiyin entered here, she also became much quieter.She tugged at Xia Youjie's collar and asked him to put her down.

"Brother, don't follow me. If the dean sees it, he will be very angry."

The little girl gave a serious warning, and then ran towards one direction with her short legs.

The white-haired cat wearing sunglasses looked up at Xia Youjie, patted his thigh with its pads, and then chased Haiyin's figure with lightning speed, his back was very cheerful.

"It's fine if you don't get noticed?" The black-haired boy sighed, stepped lightly, and quickly chased after him.After passing through a corridor, a childish cry that was obviously full of fear reached his ears.

Xia Youjie's face suddenly darkened.

After getting serious, his figure instantly surpassed Xiao Haiyin who was still walking with short legs, and he immediately found the source of the sound.

Haiyin:? ? ?

In the deepest part of this underground prison area, what Xia Youjie saw was a single sex cell with a thickened iron gate.

A large and a small figure appeared under the light of the candlelight.

The big one is the dean, and the other small shadow is a shivering little boy curled up in the innermost side of the room, wearing a thin and torn linen singlet.

The child's skinny ankles were locked in a corner by thick shackles, his hands were wrapped around his legs, and his face was buried between his knees.I couldn't see his expression clearly at the moment, but I could only see the clothes on the boy's right shoulder burst open, and a red and swollen welt appeared impressively.

This situation almost made Xia Youjie uncontrollable and directly shot.

But recalling yesterday's experience made him suspect that after taking action against the dean, everything would return to the original point, and the young man was in a dilemma for a while.Thinking about Satoru's tragic situation(?), if he is also forced to change into an animal form, then even communication with Haiyin will become a problem in the future.Not to mention cracking the field even further—

The dean raised his long whip and whipped it down mercilessly.

The boy let out a scream. Hunger, pain, cold, and fear kept destroying his spirit. Unknowingly, he raised his head slightly, and stared at him with those special eyes that were gilded and purple. A man who seems irresistible.

Dean: "Dun, do you hate me?"

Xia Youjie realized that this boy was the friend Xiao Haiyin was looking for.

Atsushi Nakajima didn't speak, his beautiful eyes with special color were full of straightforward hatred.

"Then remember this hatred." The dean's expression has not changed, cold and sharp, if there is any trace of humanity on his face in the restaurant in the morning, it seems that he is purely from The devil from hell is gone.

"—The ugly face of a person who relies on violence to abuse."

He opened the iron gate and walked out. Outside the railing, in a pot of red-hot coals, he held up the red-hot iron with a cold face.

Nakajima Atsushi's eyes widened in confusion, watching the dean come back with a red-tipped soldering iron, and shrank back in a vague timid way.

The extremely unstable mental state made him exude intense negative emotions. Xia Youjie could feel that there was a white tiger hovering around him indistinctly, and those immature and embarrassed little faces , turned into a tiger's head in an instant——

The young conjurer immediately reacted——

At this moment, Haiyin's complaints and accusations formed a thread in his mind, and he came to a conclusion that he couldn't accept at all.

Just a blink of an eye.

The specially reinforced iron railing was broken in an instant, and before the dean had time to react, a big hand like a pair of iron pincers grabbed his neck tightly, and even lifted his whole body up.

"The reason why you punished him is because you discovered his specialness?" The strange boy who suddenly appeared increased his strength in his hand. Although he was asking a question, it seemed that he didn't interrupt his answer at all, and he felt a strong sense of suffocation. Breathing begins to block.

"I didn't do anything bad at all, so I'm going to be treated like this just because I exposed something different from ordinary people?" Xia Youjie's tone was fairly steady, but judging from the strength in his hands that wanted to kill, it was obvious that he didn't know what to do in his heart. not calm.As if the reverse scale had been touched, there was an oppressive and dangerous aura exuding from his whole body.

Atsushi Nakajima was trembling, and his instinct like a small animal told him that the big brother who suddenly appeared in front of him was ten times more dangerous than the terrifying dean. He didn't even notice the changes that happened to him just now, the little one curled up in a corner, looking pitiful, weak and helpless.

"Dun?"

At this time, a familiar voice with a slightly milky voice suddenly entered the ears, and Atsushi Nakajima, who had a miserable expression on his face, suddenly stood up, "Hai Yin!"

"I'm here to look for you?" Xiao Haiyin, who finally ran here on her short legs, gasped, looked at the strange scene in front of her with big eyes in amazement, looked at Atsushi Nakajima, and then looked in the direction of the dean , there is a feeling that the eyes are too busy, "The dean is actually defeated!"

Haiyin was a little shocked. Is the big brother I met just now so powerful?

In the eyes of Xiao Haiyin, who grew up in an orphanage that was almost isolated from the world, the dean is already a very powerful person.At least as long as she could remember, all those who tried to break into the orphanage to rob, blackmail, or even abduct children were all solved by the director alone.

"Haiyin!" Atsushi Nakajima suddenly summoned up the courage to stand up, and wanted to run towards his little friend, but the black shackles at his feet locked his movement, and the little boy began to cry Spin around the eye sockets.

"Meow?" A magical cat wearing sunglasses appeared at his feet at some point, and curiously stretched out its paws to fiddle with it, and the metal shackles were cut into a neat and smooth tear in an instant.

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

This cat is also scary! !

The little boy's eyes were blank for a moment, but after realizing that he was free, he immediately passed through the two people who were still frozen, and ran in front of Xiao Haiyin, showing a lasagna tearful expression: "Haiyin Sound! Have you come to save me!"

"Hmm." Haiyin nodded, looking at the conspicuous scars on her shoulders and back, her little brows also frowned, and asked, "Did the dean hit you again? I asked other people, and most of them were just locked up. It’s just confinement. Last year someone was found stealing crops from the field and hiding them, but he was given ten lashes. Let me ask you, did you do that kind of thing?”

"No, no!" Atsushi Nakajima shook his head violently, explaining anxiously, lest Xiao Haiyin might misunderstand himself, "I won't steal anything."

"Okay. I believe Dun, but the person who shared the room with you said that you didn't go back last night." Xiao Haiyin asked suspiciously, "Did you get caught here by the dean at that time?"

"I..." Mentioning the time, Dun's expression became a little confused, he hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth to Haiyin, "Actually, I still feel hungry after dinner, so I want to go to the river to drink water To fill my stomach...but, for some reason, I fell asleep."

The little white-haired boy swallowed, and said with a guilty conscience: "When I woke up, I was lying in the field. The surrounding crops seemed to be trampled by ferocious beasts—then the dean who was passing by took me away. coming--"

"He must have thought that I did something bad." Atsushi Nakajima was extremely wronged: "No matter how you look at it, the field was damaged by wild animals. I didn't do anything."

Xiao Haiyin blinked when she heard the words, and made a judgment in the tone of a detective: "It sounds suspicious."

"Why is this!" Atsushi Nakajima was shocked.

The big white cat was twirling a chain fixed on the wall, making rattling noises, looking like it was having a good time.

Not far from the two children, Xia Youjie's body stiffened for a moment, and he threw the man in his hand aside.

His expression was slightly subtle.

That child, didn't he realize his specialness at all?

It sounds like a completely unintentional loss of control, but it's not completely innocent.However, there is absolutely no need to use lynching for such a small mistake. Xia Youjie still feels that the director of the orphanage in front of him is not qualified at all, and may even have potential sadistic tendencies.

Now that the shot has been made, there is no need to change your mind halfway.

The black-haired boy straightened his neckline, looked condescendingly at the man who fell on the ground, and said, "Sorry, I was a little impulsive just now. Your criminal behavior should be punished by law."

"The police station in Yokohama doesn't care about this." The dean twitched the corner of his mouth, stood up slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Outsider, who are you? Are you here for Dun?"

Xia Youjie: "...No. Just seeing such a scene, I can't just sit back and watch."

"Really." The dean was silent for a long time, and said, "You are not an ordinary person, are you the same as Dun? Then, you can take him away."

"Okay." Xia Youjie responded, turned around, and picked up the two children from left to right.

Atsushi Nakajima began to tremble in the embrace of the strange and cruel boy, but Haiyin waved livelyly at the dean.

"Haiyin? Why are you here?" The principal stared wide-eyed, watching the strange boy abducting the two children, couldn't help getting up and chasing after him, "Wait a minute, it's okay for you to take Dun away. Haiyin Leave Yin to me! Haiyin—"

The dean's yelling was completely left behind, Xia Youjie was very fast, and not long after, he left the orphanage with the two children and came to a big tree in the forest.

"Let him take a good rest, in your secret base?" Xia Youjie smiled and discussed with the little girl.

When was my secret base exposed? !Xiao Haiyin was stunned.

Her emerald green eyes stared at the mysterious young man in front of her without blinking, and her heart was overwhelmed by curiosity.

"Who the hell are you?"

Tired and hungry, Nakajima Atsushi fell asleep peacefully on the small bed after filling his stomach with Haiyin's snacks.

And Xiao Haiyin was hugged by Xia Youjie, and the two sat together on a high branch.

"Haiyin, I understand their purpose." Xia Youjie's voice seemed to melt into the gentleness of the sunset, "If you guessed right, starting tomorrow, everything will go back to the beginning. But I believe the two This reincarnation is meaningful. It will surely remind you at some point—”

"Go on, no matter what it becomes, I will accompany you all the way. Until the final moment——"

Haiyin nestled in the boy's generous embrace in a daze, blown drowsy by the comfortable evening wind.

"Meow!"

A cat jumped into Xiao Haiyin's arms with a beautiful bird in its mouth.

Xia Youjie, who was holding Haiyin in his arms, suffered a huge impact because he was too careless about his body shape. He couldn't maintain his balance for a while, and fell from the tree with his head up.

"...Enlightened!!"
