The fire gradually died down.The last layer of sand was covered, and the place was completely in ruins.

There was a pungent and unpleasant smell in the air, and time seemed to be burned into broken things in the fierce sea of ​​fire.

The scorched and broken bodies of ducks were all over the place, distorted into strange shapes, and the scene was very tragic.

It's hard to imagine that not so long ago, they were still strolling in the sun, living a leisurely life as usual.

Meizizi Duck Farm, so far, this is its No.16 year of existence.

"They're all dead..."

I looked around and didn't find a single surviving duck.The remains of the two employees were also found, and they had been burnt into two knots of charcoal.

I took off my coat and covered one of them.Seeing this, Ranbu also took off his coat and put it on another one.

"Don't be sad, Qingxixi."

I asked softly, "How should I explain it to their families?"

"...I will understand, this is not your fault."

"If my family becomes like this, I can't understand it at all."

"It can also be rebuilt here."

Ranbu is not good at comforting people, I can see that he has tried very hard to comfort me, "It only takes half a day to find the Hero Cement Company. I helped the Hero High School find someone before, and they still owe me a favor."

"That's it..." I stared at the ruins, I don't know how much sodium metal Tuosi buried here in a frenzy, "But the reconstruction can't restore the original appearance."

Every path that has been trodden down here, every mature tree is accumulated year by year. Countless wind, frost, rain and snow have witnessed their changes, and the traces of time have permeated them.

And now, it's all destroyed.

I remembered that at dusk many years ago, Tosi told me that he wanted to build a beautiful world.

At that time, I thought his ideal was lofty and great, but I didn't expect that it would be based on destroying the world.

He also patiently explained that in order to establish a new order, karma must first be cleared.

Just like building a new high-rise building, it is necessary to knock down everything before, and then pile up gorgeous buildings among the ruins.

"Grandma Huawan, please let me go." I raised the gun in my hand and pointed it at Tuo Si, "The crumbs of the world."

Now, all the concealment in front of the family is no longer necessary.

I had countless chances to kill him, but I always believed his nonsense again and again, naively believing that he would turn around and live a normal life.

... That's why he has so many opportunities to do evil.

"Qingxi, murder is a felony." Grandma Huamaru dissuaded, "You will go to jail."

"It doesn't matter." I shook my head numbly, "I can sit in prison, but he must die."

I held the trigger and aimed it at his temple.

"The enemy alliance that appeared in the stadium is also your collusion?"

The last time it was Yukimura Sanada, this time it was the home of Granny Hanamaru, and the scope has spread from myself to my family and friends.

"You want to take revenge on me, kill me casually, don't involve others, can't you?"

Tosi tilted his head and blinked slowly.

"Ivan was killed by you."

What he mentioned suddenly made me hesitate.

ivan.

That...companion that I dismantled in the alley.He is Tosi's craziest believer and most trusted subordinate.

Ivan has always had an unrealistic obsession with building a new world. I am afraid that he will affect Tuosi and forcibly break him down.

"Yuanjiang, you want to take revenge on me, kill me casually, don't involve others, can't you?"

He returned the sentence just now to me intact.

Finally he squinted at my hand holding the gun.

"I used this gun to apologize to you for stopping me. I thought you really forgave me."

More than a month ago, Tosi tried to commit suicide with this gun, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

I kicked it away myself, and the bullet grazed only his temple.

How ironic.

If I hadn't stopped him then, it wouldn't be where it is today.

Tosi looked at me with eyes half down, and after a long time, I heard him sneer.

"In the final analysis, the person who caused the status quo is Yuan-chan yourself."

The surrounding light suddenly went out.

The sky quickly darkened, and the background blurred into pitch black.

I looked around, except for Tuosi who was still there, Ranpo and Taizi were gone.

I seemed to hear the sound of chaotic steps, but it was so soft that I couldn't hear what he said clearly.

"Everything is made by Yuan Jiang."

"you shut up."

I pressed the trigger, only to find that there was no bullet in the gun.

Tosi raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.

"Yuan-chan's ideal is to become a hero."

"Who wants to talk to you about this? Where are they?" I decided not to pay attention to Tuo Si, turned my head and shouted loudly, "Ranbu-san! Granny Hanamaru! Nakaya-kun—"

No one answered.

"Mr. Tsu, Miss Yasuko, Dazai—"

No one answered either.

"It's useless." Tosi raised a finger and put it on his lips, "Shhh, they're all gone."

"What did you say?"

"Yuanjiang, the one who really needs redemption is yourself."

I grabbed his collar and kept pulling the trigger, but not a single bullet came out.

"Shut up! I'm healthy and don't need atonement!"

Tuo Si let out a "hey": "How does it feel to kill your own companion with your own hands?"

"Ivan and I are not companions! My companions are Yukimura and the others! I was tricked by you into joining the Mouse of the Dead House!"

"Then do you dare to tell your companions? Yuan-chan's past, and—"

Tosi's smile became more menacing, "You killed someone in that coffee shop recently, right?" He leaned over and approached me, "...Do you dare to tell your companion about this?"

He was talking about the habitual offender who secretly photographed Alice last time.

Because even if the habitual offender was caught, he didn't show any remorse at all. Instead, he brought out his relatives who were members of parliament to suppress me.

Both Marui Bunta and I have no background. If a member of parliament finds trouble, the entire store may be ruined.

What's more, he has no intention of repenting, and he may make more mistakes in the future and harm more people.

The only way I can think of is to end his life.

"I can fully understand you. People like that deserve to die. But," Dosi said softly, "this approach is not accepted by the current orthodox order."

"..."

"Your companions, no one will agree with you."

"..."

indeed.

Tosi was right, this approach would not be accepted by any of Yukimura and the others.

But I have no regrets.

"Look in your eyes, you don't regret it at all. But if your companions find out, what will happen?" Tosi guessed with great interest, "Should I report you to the police, or help you hide The crime? If it was the latter, they would have been innocent—"

"Because of Yuanjiang, I became guilty."

"Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky." I called him by his full name again, "you have a long and difficult name, you have a strange temper, you have a sticky mouth, and you Lazy again... I made friends with you nonetheless. Ask yourself, I never apologized to you for anything but Ivan, why did you push me to this point? My trust, in your heart, Is it such a worthless thing?"

I had many chances to kill him, but I didn't kill him.He had many chances to let me go, but he never let me go.

"Friend? Yes, of course we are good friends. Yuan-chan can only get a sense of approval from me, because I taught you all these things. Anything that doesn't suit you in front of you is maintained by the current order Ugly, it should all disappear."

——If it doesn't suit me, it will all dissipate.

This is the motto he gave me.

"If it doesn't suit me, everything will disappear..."

Scenes of scenes where I killed people and those scenes that I erased appeared before my eyes.

All the things that didn't suit me, all dissipated...

"Yes, my Yuanjiang, what a good child you are." Tosi's palm covered my face, "You used to obey me, and you should do so in the future... because only I can understand your thoughts .”

——Why do you think you can be a hero?

—Do you dare to let your partner know about your past?

——Do you dare to tell Yukimura-kun that you are still killing people?

"Yuanjiang, only I can save you."

No, it's not like that.

I don't know who can save me, but that person is definitely not Tosi.

It can't be this bastard.

I tried to dust off his hand covering my face, but found that my hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and I couldn't lift it at all.

pat.

pat.

It is the sound of tears dripping, who is crying?

Behind Tosi is an illusory scene.

The space straightened and twisted, and I saw my young father, kneeling in front of the pram, crying.

I heard him say: "Why does it always end like this? Qingxi, Dad is sorry for you."

The baby in the car woke up leisurely, he stopped his tears instantly, and said with a gentle smile: "My Qingxi, you will have a bright future, even if you bet everything on your father..."

——This should be my childhood memory.

I live in my memory?

So where am I now?

"Qingxixi!"

who is calling me?

Tosi's hands were so heavy that I couldn't lift my head up.

"Qingxixi, stop quickly!"

——It was the sound of random steps.

"Why did she suddenly attack us? It's you, a bastard!"

"Yuanjiang was originally my subordinate."

——I said, once you join the House of the Dead, you can't quit halfway.

A ray of light came, and I opened my eyes wide, finally seeing the scene in front of me clearly.

"I" was constantly attacking the people around me, but only bypassed Tuo Si.

Ranpo, who has no fighting power, is protected by Yasuko, Grandma Hanamaru is protected by Chuya Nakahara, and Mr. Jin and Dazai, they actually fought?

What happened in the end?

I couldn't stop my attack, my body was completely out of my control.

——Ranbu, get out of the way.

Even with the mouth open, no sound can come out at all.

I could only watch "I" helplessly. When they avoided, the duck farm that had been turned into ruins was completely decomposed and dissipated, leaving no traces.

"What's the matter, Dazai, is it difficult to get rid of that guy?" Nakahara Chuya probably didn't want to hurt me, and he also needed to distract Granny Hanamaru, and he hoped that Dazai could stop my runaway with the disqualification in the world.

But Dazai is now being entangled by Mr. Jin, the two are evenly matched, and he is also incapable of doing so.

book.

I suddenly remembered books.Edgar Allan Poe's book!Zhong Yuanzhong once gave me a copy. When the ability gets out of control, just get into the book and you will be fine.

How the hell do you get them to remember?

The book is in my pocket!

Chuya Nakahara, think about it quickly, isn't this a gift from you? !

I don't know if he finally got the hang of it or if he understood my eyes, he suddenly handed Grandma Hanamaru to Yasuko, and then flashed towards me.

When he was alone, he easily dodged my attack, pulled the book out of my pocket, and quickly opened it.

Through the opened cover of the book, I saw Tuosi's raised fingers, and he made a gesture to snap his fingers.

He stood not far from us with a contented smile on his lips.

【Yesterday was sunny and sunny,】

Yesterday was sunny and sunny, so what is today?

Will it be sunny today, or will it be stormy?

I suddenly realized that this might not be Edgar Allan Poe's book, and when I wanted to dodge, the book was already covering me.

Snap your fingers and drop at the same time.

I heard Tosi's gentle and firm voice.

"Catalysis begins."

Zhongyuanzhong was too close to me, even my clothes were shattered and disappeared in an instant.

"How is this possible?" he asked in amazement.

"I" no longer needs to touch with both hands to dissipate anything in the field of vision.

"I said earlier that I was not fighting alone from the beginning. There are rats all over the street." Tosi folded his arms and said lightly, "Driven by certain interests, anyone can become a rat."

"After all, this is the only way to get back Pandora'sbox."

After the Pandora'sbox was dug up and opened by the expedition team many years ago, Grandpa Xingzuo closed the box again and hid it in No Man's Land.

But because of his longing and reluctance for Grandma Hanamaru, he hid himself in the depths of the duck farm.But even so, it can move freely, and there is no way for anyone to find it.

My ability is completely out of control here, and the other half of the abilities in the box feel its strong call, and finally it is no longer something that the box itself can suppress.

——The above is what I figured out when I saw a crack in the ground and a golden box flew out of it.

The box is the box I saw when I was a child, and it is also the box that Uncle Ranpo saw in his wise memory.

The box was fixed above my head, floating in the air.

Tuo Si took a leisurely step: "We can go, Yuan Jiang."

My body walked towards him step by step disobediently, and when Zhongyuan Zhong also wanted to stop him, I attacked again.

It was as if someone had taken the dominant position in my body, and I myself could only shrink in the shell, becoming a helpless spectator.

Tosi couldn't wash my mind. It took him ten years to convince me to agree with his ideals.I always thought he was wrong and refused to cooperate with him.

He has decided to break the jar, give up controlling the mind, and directly control my body.

"Yuanjiang, if you don't leave, you won't be in time for dinner." Tosi said with a smile, "I have your favorite borscht tonight, and I will cook it for you."

It was getting dark.

"Let's go."

All the ruins left by the fire have dissipated.

The whole duck farm became empty, and there was nothing left.

I struggled to resist the behavior of my body, as if I was struggling in reinforced concrete, moving the direction of my toes.

Dosi stood not far away, looking at me with a smile, as if looking at a toddler.

"My Yuanjiang, what a good child."

"Qingxixi!"

Ranbu, who didn't know where he came from, suddenly rushed towards me in a straight line.

——Don't come here, walk around, you will die!

"Stupid, don't go there!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also wanted to grab him, but he barely passed by his sleeve.

The ones who are most afraid of running, the ones who don't even bother to walk, the lazy people who always let others take care of them, unexpectedly run at a speed like the wind.

His coat was the same as mine, it was covered on the body of the deceased, and he was wearing a red shirt inside, which I bought for him when the mall was on sale. He complained that he looked stupid and refused. Wear, I say this dress is very dynamic to wear.

I said it suits him well.

He was wearing the red dress that I said was very suitable for him, and he ran wildly all the way, turning into a hallucination of Li Hong.

"Ranbu-san."

——Don't come here, Luanbu!

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He rushed over and hugged me without hesitation. At the moment he was broken down, he raised his face and tried to show me a bright smile, a person who was [-]% without any sadness. Smile, I heard him say,

"Qingxixi, I will become the star you see every night."

I raised my hand to grab him, but he gradually blurred like a blur, and when the wind blew, there was nothing left.

Not far away, Tuosi sighed softly: "You really deserve to be Mr. Edogawa."

Then I saw that he also quickly blurred and disappeared from the field of vision.

Again there is nothing left.

it's getting dark.

The moon has risen and the stars will be out soon.

I remembered that when I was watching the cherry blossoms in spring, I asked Ranpo where matter would go after it was broken down into atoms.

He said with certainty that they would all become stars in the sky.Because human beings will never be alone in this space.
