Tutoring colleagues - doomed

It was raining coldly in the outside space, and a trace of cold air seeped into the house through the glass windows. Even in early summer, it was unexpectedly cold when it rained.The off-white moonlight shone down, casting three slender black shadows on the aisle. The whole mansion seemed to have never been inhabited. There was no other sound except the footsteps of these three people, and it was eerily quiet.

"Dog, can you control your stomach, my ears can't stand it." A young boy's voice that seemed reluctant to open his mouth rose slowly, and thousands of words attacked his companion, "Who told you? Stuck on not eating."

"Hey, long-winded! It's those two old women who don't have the willpower. They stopped bringing me food after being kicked up twice by me. They definitely want to starve me to death!"

"Didn't I share your food?"

"Then a little devil will be full!"

"..." He was full.

"The most abominable thing is that woman, except for once at noon, she never delivered food. She knew that no one else would leave the food, and she was the one who said she would help Mr. Mu, yet she dared not give up her body." Feed for my subordinates? One group! Definitely all one group!"

Qian Zhong didn't bother to talk anymore.

"Be quiet, dog."

At this time, Mukuro, who was walking in the front, suddenly spoke, and with just one sentence, the excited dog was completely quiet.The dog made a long "goo~" and had to close its mouth and speed up to follow.

Mukui doesn't have the extra energy to pay attention to the mental health of his subordinates now, so he rarely restrains his smile, and walks while observing the empty mansion.

The house was unusually quiet.Even if you don't see traces of humans on weekdays, you can still feel the breath scattered everywhere.However, since night fell, except for the three of them, all kinds of auras that originally existed in this mansion disappeared out of thin air, and no one else could be sensed. The whole mansion seemed to be cut and surrounded. different space.

——It is definitely related to the huge spiritual energy that erupted in the afternoon!

A trace of inexplicable impatience faintly emerged from the bottom of Mu Mu's heart. For some reason, he felt very bad, as if there was something extremely terrifying peeping in the dark, waiting to be killed.

Where have all those people gone?Where is that woman now?

Just when Mukuro was about to enter one of the rooms to observe, a very shallow and very weak shudder ran through his body.

"... Lord Mukuro!"

A sharp and ear-piercing cry suddenly sounded behind him, and Mukuro turned around immediately, his expression contorted in an instant.

The Japanese-style corridor that was still empty just now turned into a white room at some point. The white walls and white tiles were covered with blood, and the color contrast was even more tragic under the white light.The room was full of corpses of adults, and the air was filled with a foul, fishy, ​​sweet smell.

Where he stood was Estoraneo's laboratory.However, unlike the situation a few years ago, his companions were also lying in the pile of corpses this time.

"Master Mukuro...Master Mukuro..."

The dog's face was covered with blood, and his body collapsed because he couldn't get rid of the veterinary state. Strange-shaped limbs stretched out from all over the body, and his face could no longer be seen as human. The whole person looked like countless animals that had failed to fuse Chimera.

He was desperately calling Mukuro's name.

"Master Mukuro...Master Mukuro..."

Qian Zhong's face was covered with blood, his body was covered with blood-oozing scars, his hands and feet were bent in strange directions, his white bones pierced his skin and exposed him to the air.There is a hideous gap in the head, and a mass of gray-white substance can be seen.

He was desperately calling Mukuro's name.

"Master Mukuro...Master Mukuro..."

There are also many children who have no hands, no legs, and even half of their heads have been cut off, and they are still desperately calling Muku's name.

When you touch the wall with your hand, you can still feel the hardness and roughness of the wall, your nose can still smell the smell of gunpowder smoke and the stench of blood floating in the air, and you can feel the residual heat of the adults' corpses at your feet. He is indeed Stand here on your own two feet.

— hallucinations!

Muku couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, immediately mobilized his mental power to run at a high speed, and then released it in one breath.However, the scene in front of him, which should have been broken like a shattered mirror, has not changed a bit.

"...What's going on? All this..."

Impossible, all of this is absolutely impossible to be true—even though he knew that this conclusion was [-]% correct, he couldn't break it like he used to see through illusions, and the trembling all over his body couldn't stop.

"Could it be that a warlock among those guys did something good? They chased him so soon?"

Mukuro immediately overturned this idea.

No, not right!As long as it is an illusion, it is impossible to deceive his perception. Even Shinji Ryo, the strongest warlock under Vinal at the time, could not leave any breath at all, let alone those pawns?There is only one answer left, that is, he has his own problems!It was exactly the same as when he faced Shinji Ling last time, he couldn't see through this illusion!

Thinking of this only possibility, Muke couldn't help clenching his teeth, feeling humiliation welling up in waves.

"Everyone pay attention!Attention everyone! 』

Suddenly an alarm sounded in the white room.

"A riot broke out in the eighth laboratory!Please carry out suppression operations while confirming the target! 』

The steel door behind him was pushed open with a bang.With the dazzling light as the background, countless figures stood in front of Mukuro.In the laboratory, there was a mechanical and cold sound.

"Even if he is the only one who is suitable for the eyes of the six realms, as long as he endangers Estoraneo, he will definitely be shot to death!" 』

Those rows of men in white uniforms, those faces that were colder than ice, were the people he killed with his own hands a few years ago.

"...Ha. What a farce."

A smile appeared on Mukuo's expressionless face, which was very fierce.There were bursts of severe pain in his right eye, and the sense of emptiness was expanding bit by bit deep in his heart.

This is real?or fake?It doesn't matter anymore.

A raging flame of hatred swept through his body.

"If you can kill me, just come."

"...Even if reason tells you it's fake, can't you deny it immediately? With such a powerful ability, why can't the Lord of the Six Paths see through the 'truth'?"

Juori stood in an empty Japanese room, and the dawn light passed over her and shone on the three people on the tatami mat. They were Muku, Inu, and Chizuna. They all had their eyes closed tightly, with painful expressions on their faces.

"Master Shizhi, is it really okay if you don't go to rest?" Yiya, who was standing aside, asked worriedly, and wanted to step forward to support her, but was stopped.Yiya hesitated for a moment, but retreated.

Yiya looked at the three lying down, it had been like this since the evening, although she didn't know what Shizhi-sama did to them with Murasaki's ability, but she could imagine that what they were going through must be very terrifying thing.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Shizhi suddenly coughed violently, and a sickly blush appeared on his pale face.

"Master Shizhi!" Yiya hurried over, helped her to sit down slowly against the sliding door.

Shizhi covered her mouth and panted in pain. She was already in great pain from the inheritance, and in addition to receiving the backlash caused by the power rampage instead of Shiwu, her body became weaker, and it would not be surprising when she would die.

Even so, her eyes were still full of anticipation and hope.

"Time is running out. I must at least do what I can for these children. However, maybe they will scold me when they wake up. Heh..."

Among the three, the most worrying one is Liudao Mukuro, who has relatively high abilities.She doesn't understand illusions, but she understands the nature of illusions better than anyone else.What the eyes see, what the body touches, what the nose smells, and what the ears hear are all "real", but not necessarily all real. "Truth" can be deceiving.

"In any case, they... must become stronger..."

"The target is in Building B!The fourth, fifth, and seventh teams immediately went to intercept! 』

Mukuro ran on the corridor of the experimental building, the alarm echoing in the entire building and the clear footsteps behind him were constantly hitting the eardrums.Even the sound of his own breathing became impatient.

Illusion can't be used!Anyone who encounters obstacles can only use a trident to disembowel him, but with his physical strength at this time, he can't last long, and now he has some difficulty breathing. Facing this level of crowd tactics, alone It is simply whimsical to want to win by hand-to-hand combat.

"Om——"

Suddenly there was a sharp sound in the corridor.After the intense air pressure changed, it attacked Mukuro, and Mukuro's vision suddenly distorted, and he suffered intense pain like shaking his whole head.

With a splitting headache, Mukuo resisted the impact and held the trident instead, and slashed down towards the wall of the corridor. The steel skin was torn apart like paper, and blue and white electric sparks burst out. All the lights went out instantly.

Not only the lighting system, but all the circuit circuits inside the building stopped working. The security system was forced to open when the circuit was abnormally disconnected. The steel isolation doors fell one after another. Got into the monitoring room at the end of the corridor.The looming roar of machines disappeared, and the whole building suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The technicians in the monitoring room had been killed by Muke, and the pursuers outside stopped their operations because they were forcibly isolated.Mukuro didn't relax because of the moment's rest, but slammed the wall very anxiously.The strange-colored eyes were full of ridicule at himself.

"...too stupid! It's obviously just an illusion!"

Everything is exactly the same as it was years ago.Including the structure of the experimental building, system settings, and even the faces of those adults are exactly the same as in memory.Is this really true?He returned to that hell that he desperately wanted to forget?impossible!This is definitely the work of an unknown enemy force!

But... as if his body was covered with ears and eyes, he could even feel the flow of air passing over his skin.The touch of the trident piercing into the human body, and the temperature when the blood splashed on the face were so hot.Could this illusion that even he couldn't decipher, which was so real that it was not an illusion, really be fake?

Mukuro doubted himself for the first time in his life.He couldn't help pinching the wound on his left arm hard, and the burning pain came immediately, and the confusion in his heart was finally dispelled a little.

It's a shame that he can now affirm his judgment because of the scars and pain that the man gave him.The body he uses now is the body he had when he was 12 years old, and that is the only "truth".

It's just that he couldn't understand why an unknown enemy with more power than him would make such an obvious mistake?Did you do this on purpose...Huh? "other side"?

Mukuro tried his best to recall the words that flashed in his mind just now, but he couldn't find any traces. All he could remember was until Shinji Ling destroyed the Eye of Six Paths and he fled there alone in embarrassment.

He did escape from Shinji Ling, but is that really all there is to it?

——Actually, there is no omission.

No, he didn't escape alone!

—Then who is that person?Can't tell?

No, it really exists!More than one, there should be three people right!

—that's your fantasy, you've always been alone.always alone...

The brain is confused.

Followed by a strong sense of dissonance, what is wrong?Muku intuitively thought that the mistake was a breakthrough, and something important had been missed by him.As long as you know the meaning behind that deliberate mistake, you can destroy this space in one go!Think quickly!

"I just think it's better to hold someone else's hand, it's scary to be alone. 』

Mukuro couldn't help trembling at the unexpected voice that emerged in his mind.

That person is—

"boom--!!"

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in front of the steel gate of the monitoring room. Even the steel was blown out of a big hole under the power of the explosives, and the blazing flames surrounded the place where Mu was.

Hot air and thick smoke kept pouring in, and the rancid smell of the flames burning human skin filled the entire monitoring room. However, Mukuro still sat motionless, not even intending to get up.

"Heh heh heh..." A string of low smiles overflowed from his mouth, and then turned into a big laugh, "Hahahaha...that's ridiculous!"

Outside the monitoring room, continuous explosions sounded one after another, and the sound of multiple footsteps gradually became clearer.Mukuro took a deep breath and smiled his usual relaxed smile.

"I'm tired, let's end this farce."

Poof—a blunt sound sounded.

The terrifying sound of muscles being torn apart reached Mukuro's ears.A steel arm pierced through the raging fire and pierced deeply into Mukuro's left chest.

"It's over."

"...Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!"

Suddenly there was a heart-piercing roar like a ferocious beast in the Japanese room, and a powerful impact passed by Juori who was sitting on the tatami, and hit the sliding door behind him hard, smashing the whole door into pieces .

"Lord Shizhi, are you not injured?!" Yiya guarded Shizhi while watching the dog and Qianzuo who were slowly waking up vigilantly.But without giving her time to react, a black shadow came in front of her in an instant at an inhuman speed, knocking her down in an instant.

"Wooah! You bastard!"

The dog twisted his face and grabbed Juzhi's collar, sharp fangs sprouted from his mouth and hands, his eyes completely became the pupils of a beast, and his hair flew upwards as if injected with strength.That look, burning with terrifying murderous intent, seemed to bite off Juori's throat on the spot.

"What are you trying to do! Disrespectful!" Yiya was startled, and wanted to rush forward regardless of her injured leg.Before she could make a move, however, the dog stopped all movement suddenly.The same was true for Chikusa who was about to attack behind him, and the two glared at Juori with ferocious expressions.

Shizhi blushed from coughing, but calmly pushed away the dog's hand. After tidying up his clothes, he looked at the damage the dog had just done with a smile on his face.As if blown by a gust of wind, both the tatami mat and the sliding door were torn apart by the dog's sharp claws. Behind the dog, a scorched black mark was left on the tatami mat, giving off a faint smell of burning.

"The instant explosive power has increased by more than 40%, the speed of beast transformation has also increased by 46%, and the power intensity has increased by more than 50%. Although it is not clear how the stamina changes, it does not seem too bad. Congratulations You, Jojima-kun, have improved like this in only 8 hours. Kakimoto-kun must have improved a lot too. Both of you should praise me."

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you—!" The dog growled with its bloodshot eyes, as if it would pounce on Juori and tear her to shreds as soon as she was untied.

Yiya pulled Shizhi away nervously, but Shizhi laughed indifferently, "I didn't do anything, just..."

"It's just a little tampering in our nerve center, so that our vision, touch, hearing, etc. can fully accept the illusion created by you, it's almost like our automatic perception."

Muke woke up at some point and straightened up. Although he was panting and sweating, and there were several black lines appearing and disappearing on the right side of his face, there was a victorious smile on his face.

"Master Mukuro!" Hearing Mukuro's voice, Inu and Chizuo shouted in unison.

"Illusionists compete on the fineness of control and the intensity of power. It is not enough to be able to deceive other people's brains. A true illusionist must also be able to deceive their own brains. Your illusion is so extraordinary that even I was almost killed. I'm stuck inside. Thanks to you, I had a death experience."

"Correction, this is not an illusion." After Juori explained, without giving Muku a chance to speak, he continued, "What is my real ability? I can't tell you, but with Liu Dao-kun's mind, I think I must already have it." Answer. Why should I do this? Because if I propose it directly, you will definitely refuse. And the actual training takes too much time, and it is faster to directly engrave these memories in your brain and nerves. Why should I help you? For myself."

Juori spoke one after another about the questions and answers that had arisen and were about to arise in Mukui and the three of them.

"The last question, is this woman trustworthy?" Shizhi showed a harmless smile, but what he said made people shudder, "Trustworthy. Otherwise, you would have died countless times just now."

Inu let out a low growl, "...don't be too arrogant! Lord Mukuro will never..."

"Dog." Mukuro's command discouraged Inu.

Mukui had almost recovered, and secretly concentrated his mental power to scan the entire mansion, only to find that there were no other people except the five of them.The two servants were probably dismissed, but where did the woman go?

"Are you looking for Ms. Wu?" Ten Zhi said suddenly, "She is also receiving special 'training' just like you, but the location is a little different."

Mukui lowered his face and turned his head away.

As if hearing Mukuro's inner words, Toori smiled slightly.Before leaving, he told the three of them: "Mental overdraft consumes a lot of physical and mental energy. Please take a good rest and recover your physical strength before the decisive battle in the near future."

Boom—something was thrown out and fell into the pool in the yard.Then there was a roar.

"Who does that woman think she is! Ahhhhhh! I'm about to explode! Don't stop me!"

When walking back to the courtyard, Shizhi suddenly coughed, and his heart throbbed as if being pinched hard.

"...Master Juzhi!"

Yiya's worried cry rang in his ears, and Shizhi quietly wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. "I'm fine."

No one knows that this is a lie.Sure enough, the body couldn't stand the forced use of the ability, and the speed of collapse accelerated again.

"It's really self-inflicted...how could I be so weak?" Shizhi let out a self-deprecating smile, and muttered to himself in a volume that Yiya couldn't hear, "Fortunately, Miss Shiwu is not like me...she must be fine ……future……"

In the future, I really hope to change...

"—I really want to have a good time, so I really want to join in."

The sudden voice, with a heavy gloom, slowly picked up the ending, frivolous and weird.

Yiya stood in front of Shizhi reflexively, and when he raised his head, his eyes just met a pair of eyes that shone with coldness and pleasure.A strange gray-haired man squatted on the wall, squinted his eyes and looked up and down at Shizhi and Yiya, who were ten meters away, before finally resting on Shizhi.

Juori's pupils contracted imperceptibly, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't stop coughing.

Raid?Or, an all-out war?Why did you choose this critical time?

The gray-haired man curled his lips as if he couldn't believe it, "You are the monster-like woman that the old guy said? You don't look very good, you don't have three eyes, you don't have several heads, and you can squeeze it with a little force." I’m going to kill you. But don’t worry, I’m not even interested in doing anything to you, as long as you tell me where the four people you rescued are.”

Yiya and Shizhi didn't show any signs of wavering, the gray-haired man continued as if he didn't see their expressions, "I put aside those annoying guys and came here first, all for the sake of being rescued by you Those four people, especially the woman who is said to be very strong. You kid over there, tell me where that woman is."

Yiya replied coldly: "I don't know."

"Hey, I'm just asking a question, don't you need to treat me like this?" But the smile on his mouth is not so friendly, "I won't kill you if you answer my question, how about it?"

"do not know."

"Really?" The gray-haired man smiled harmlessly, and the next moment, a black gun was aimed at Yi Ya, "Then go die."

Yiya closed her eyes subconsciously, only to hear a strange click, but did not wait for the expected severe pain.Opening his eyes nervously, what he saw was Juzhi's back.

Shizhi bit her lower lip tightly, a thread of blood slowly slipped from the corner of her mouth, but her purple eyes were still staring at the gray-haired man on the wall.His right hand with the gun was completely twisted from the elbow joint, and the forearm hung limply, forming an obtuse angle with the raised upper arm.

The gray-haired man looked down at his right hand. Instead of screaming out of anger, he gave Shizhi a tyrannical smile, "So you're not dead, and you're quite interesting, so I'm not welcome."

He took out a box from his pocket, and the surface of the box was like broken glass reunited.A cluster of green flames ignited from the ring on the man's left hand.

"Don't turn into ashes so quickly, it's too disappointing for me."

At the same time that the last word disappeared into the air, countless green fireballs mixed with thunder light blasted towards this remote courtyard of Cun Zi's house at lightning speed——
