In a daze, Shi Meng felt the warmth of sunlight shining on his eyelids.

"Brother, is she going to wake up?"

The crisp girl's voice reached her ears.

Ah, she seems to have been rescued, she remembers seeing a boy, this is his sister?

Shi Meng tried hard to open her eyes, and looked up, it was a room not much better than her shack, with some scattered supplies piled inside.

A pretty little girl brought water, and her elder brother with black hair and dyed hair stood aside guardedly. Both siblings looked very young.

"Cough." After taking the water, Shi Meng took a mouthful, and his dry throat was finally moistened.

"Thank you for saving me." The girl said sincerely to the two, "I will repay you."

"No, leave here when you recover from your injury." The boy said vigilantly and coldly.

Shi Meng blinked, she actually understood the boy's actions quite well, but she was also sincerely grateful to him, no matter what, it was a life-saving grace.

"My name is Uzuki Shimeng, may I know your names?"

The boy was silent for a moment before replying, "Akutagawa Ryunosuke, this is my sister Akutagawa Gin."

The younger sister, Akutagawa Gin, looked at her curiously, and the air fell into silence again.

Shi Meng and the two looked at each other for a while, and felt that they had to shoulder the responsibility of communicating, so they said, "Thank you very much for saving me. If it wasn't for Akutagawa-kun, I would probably be a ghost already."

"No need." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's answer was short.

So Shi Meng didn't know what to say.She decided to leave after her injury recovered and find a place to live outside the slum. Maybe after she settled down, she could take the two brothers and sister out of the slum together. She was a few years older than the two, so she could take care of them more.

Eating the rations given to her by the Akutagawa brothers and sisters, the food has deteriorated, and the two brothers and sisters are still swallowing.

When Shi Meng saw it, he felt that this is not a place to stay for a long time, children should not live in such a place where food and clothing cannot be guaranteed.

"That..." As soon as she said something, the wooden door was kicked open forcefully.

The three people who came were all young people in their twenties, and the younger brother who followed pointed at Ryunosuke Akutagawa and shouted, "Brother, this brat stole our things yesterday."

"It's you kid." The leading man combed his hair in a flowing style, and he was about to pull the boy's collar with his hands.

Shi Meng's head is actually still aching, but as the oldest child here, she is still a person with supernatural powers, so she must stand in front of the two children.

To capture the thief, first capture the king, and she is going to use her abilities to control the leader, the boss, and force the other two to stop.

But before she could make a move, Shimeng saw Akutagawa's clothes turned into black cloth strips as if they had come to life, entangled and attacked the opponent.

"Extraordinary power - Rashomon!"

Before the boss could react, his hands were cut and he howled.

Seeing this scene, the young man who spoke first among the three turned around and fled in fright, while the remaining tall man rushed towards Akutagawa Gin, apparently intending to use the little girl to threaten his brother.

Shi Meng didn't have time to shock Akutagawa to have supernatural powers, so he decisively gave the tall man a mental attack, and just as he was charging, the enemy was driven forward by inertia.

"Yin, get behind me." The girl's face became paler.

She picked up a stone jar used to hold things from her hand, and quickly pointed at the fallen enemy fiercely, and the tall man who had just climbed up fell down again with a clang.

Although the boss on the other side had his hand injured, he moved neatly with his feet and kicked Akutagawa down. What's more, he took out a knife from his belt.

Akutagawa Yin screamed and rushed towards his brother: "Don't!"

Shi Meng was anxious in his heart. When the knife stabbed out, he put all his strength into a bunch of scattered spirits, and developed the first branch ability: "Extraordinary ability-spiritual shock!"

The girl shouted: "Akutagawa!"

Although Ryunosuke Akutagawa was young, he was extremely talented in combat. He found that the enemy's attack had become slow, so he decisively stabbed the opponent's abdomen with Rashomon's cloth strip, and the man fell backwards unaffected by the blow.

He wanted to attack again, but he was no match for Akutagawa's fearless ruthlessness. With the cooperation of Shimeng and Akutagawa, the knife was cleverly picked up by Xiaoyin, and the enemy quickly escaped...

All three of them were out of breath, but after this concerted battle, it seemed that an invisible barrier had been broken.

After a short break, Shimeng spoke first: "My name is Uzuki Shimeng, I'm from a slum, I'm 14 years old, where are Akutagawa-kun and Xiaoyin?"

"Ryunosuke Akutagawa, 10 years old."

"My name is Akutagawa Yin, and I'm also from a slum, two years younger than my brother."

"In this way, you are considered my younger siblings according to your age." Shi Meng looked a little embarrassed, but looked at the two of them seriously: "Then Ryunosuke, Yin, would you like to be my companions? "

The slanting morning light casts from the eaves and shines in from the glassless windows, constantly changing in the dilapidated house.

The girl couldn't help but smile when she saw the gentle sunlight: "We accompany each other, trust each other, and support each other along the way until we find our future."

The silhouettes of Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Akutagawa Gin were in her clear pupils, maybe the moment the sun was just right, they were also illuminated by the morning light standing in the shadows, believing in the future in her eyes...

……

So the three quickly packed up and left the slum.

It was her idea to leave, and the Akutagawa brothers and sisters said that it would be good to go anywhere.

At that time, Shi Meng believed that his choice was not wrong.

But now he began to doubt all of this. Was it really right for them to leave the slums?

Can she really create the future she wants?

Yokohama outside the slums was very different from what she thought.

Here, the government does not act and has no sense of existence; foreign forces colonize and divide the concession; the mafia runs rampant; the masses live numbly.

Can you imagine?Such a seemingly advanced port city turned out to be a joint colony of many countries.

In Yokohama, there is no government-provided student aid program at all. The poverty subsidy is a name, and the money has flowed into the pockets of some corrupt officials.

That's right, if there is any poverty subsidy, the area of ​​the slums will not be so large, and it will soon become a feature of the city!

The Port Mafia, which owns five black buildings, is the largest black force in Yokohama. In addition, there are countless gangsters rooted here, and from time to time there will be battles in wooden warehouses.

This is truly a city of magical realism!

Shimeng and the three also tried to find a job, but now after the war, Yokohama's economic situation is very poor, there is almost no entertainment industry and high-tech industries, most of them are self-sufficient small businesses, and there are not many places that lack people.

Even if there is a shortage of people, Shimeng is not a good choice for bringing his younger siblings to make a living.

So they are currently living in an abandoned warehouse in a remote area. The warehouse has no gate, which is why it has not been occupied so far. Although the inside is dilapidated, it can be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain.

Not far from the warehouse, there is a huge crater caused by the big explosion four years ago. It is called Leibo Street, and it is a place of suffering no less than a slum.

In the past few days living in the warehouse, Shi Meng picked up some wood and repaired it, and used Luo Shengmeng's strong puncture as a connection, and even installed the door.

They used rag bags to build a simple cot, and collected supplies everywhere to fill up the shelter. When the three of them huddled on the bed and chatted at night, they felt a little warm.

They talked and talked about everything.

As the boss, Shi Meng would often tell the two of them some stories that they didn't know where they came from. Often at this time, the brother and sister were very serious, with the sound of quiet breathing flowing in between.

Tonight is the time for talking as usual, and suddenly the girl said in a daze: "I think this world is very strange, and this city is also very strange."

The Akutagawa brothers and sisters cast puzzled looks.

So Shimeng explained to them with gestures: "Look, Yokohama is a seaport city with convenient transportation, and it can be regarded as the economic center of neon lights, but with its huge slums and the strange terrain of Leibo Street, there are countless Underworld organization, half of the territory here is a concession!"

But after the Akutagawa brothers and sisters heard it, their reaction was very flat: "Yokohama has always been like this."

"!" Shi Meng was shocked, thinking how they could be so calm, "Don't you think this is tragic and strange?"

The two brothers and sisters shook their heads as usual, and the girl choked on this shaking of her head.

"Okay, okay." Shi Meng temporarily stopped this topic.

She didn't know why she was a little awkward, the two of them were so calm, it seemed like she was an alien.

But Shi Meng immediately remembered an even more incredible thing, and couldn't help but said: "By the way, there is one more strange thing, this world actually has superpowers! This is a superpower!"

The brother and sister looked at each other, and they didn't understand what she was talking about. After all, Rashomon had been with them since they could remember.

"Why is it strange? Yokohama has always had urban rumors about people with supernatural powers." Akutagawa Ryunosuke asked cautiously.

"But, but!" Shi Meng expressed anxiously, "The theory of supernatural beings has been circulating in recent years. A long time ago, there were no superpowers at all. For thousands of years, human evolution has been biased towards technology. Suddenly, someone Isn't it abnormal that the supernatural ability appeared in a day, and it appeared on a few people for no reason?"

Silver looked at her a little confused.

Ryunosuke pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "You think that the supernatural ability appears suddenly, and it's very random, just like I have Rashomon, but Yin doesn't."

Shi Meng nodded vigorously, and added: "Yes, it is still stable now, but if the number of supernatural beings continues to increase, it will only bring inequality."

She thought with some anxiety, maybe not as many, once superpowers occupy [-]% of all human beings, war will break out again.

Akutagawa was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know what he thought of, and he brought up a fact: "Rashomon can help us defeat the enemy."

Such a simple statement made Shi Meng speechless for a moment.

She didn't know how to refute, after all, she was also one of the few beneficiaries in this world.

If she had no strength, would she have survived that night?

She has to thank the supernatural beings in this world.

but……

The girl suddenly fell into a dilemma. She thought over and over for a long time, but she couldn't find a sentence that could accurately describe her feelings at the moment, and she couldn't find a suitable answer to answer all of this.

What is it that she finds strange?

"Sister Shimeng, what are you thinking?" Yin moved to her side, she wanted to hear tonight's story.

Shi Meng withdrew her thoughts and said with a serious face: "I think I might be an alien."

Silver blinked his eyes, aren't we going to tell the story of Batcat today?

So the girl who was a few years older gathered her mind and hugged her gently: "I probably thought of a story about an alien."
