Tutoring colleagues - doomed

The first time I saw him was under a brilliant light.

The moment the boy appeared in front of her, a strange thought came into her heart.

—There is a mirror there.

It was obviously the first time they met, and the other party's appearance, age, gender, etc. were not the same as hers in any way, but she had the illusion of taking a selfie in the mirror.

When she was confused, as if to distinguish her from her, the other party smiled and walked over.That smile was very bright, as if searching all over the world, and finally found something extremely important.

"I fell in love with you at first sight, Ms. Murasaki Kazuya."

How could such a frivolous guy be like himself!

That's right, there is a very obvious difference between the boy and her.

In his eyes, there is nothing.

××××××××××

All that filled the field of vision was fire, fire, fire.

Thick smoke and flames spewed out from the sunken ground, the piercing sound of the fire alarm shook the scorching air powerfully, and the glass shattered by the explosion scattered all the way, accompanied by a series of deafening machine guns, da Da da da, amidst the dust, I could faintly hear the screams of human pain coming from the teaching building.

"Whoa, this time was bad enough! Thought I'd just get shot!"

Lancelot dragged Cunzi Yiya to run in the atrium. Both of them were wearing scorched and torn clothes like rags. Their faces and bodies were covered with mud and charcoal, and they were extremely embarrassed.

"This time?" Murashi glared at the blond boy angrily.

"Ahaha, don't worry about such trivial things when you are running for your life." Lancelot laughed, and then curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "But why can't they bear the time to come again? I still want to talk to The eldest lady said that she spent a wonderful afternoon together..."

Yes, she also wanted to ask why...

She didn't think it was an exaggeration to assassinate the young master Lang Luofei who was alone, not only broke into the mafia school that the big families defaulted to protect, but also threw large firepower weapons to wreak havoc, but, could she be chosen? Attack while you're away? !

Suddenly, she heard the sound of machine gun fire suddenly stop behind her, and after a few snaps of reloading clips, the roar of a more powerful machine gun approached.She quickly raised her head, glanced around in a hurry, and immediately found that the only way out was the emergency stairs ahead.However, this is the third floor, and there are no precautions underneath.

Murasaki's head was dizzy, at this moment, her right hand was suddenly pulled by a pulling force, and Lancelot suddenly picked her up horizontally.

"What are you doing—"

The horrified cry hadn't completely left her throat, the next second, the feeling of weightlessness from the fall came down fiercely, and the sharply rising airflow from below made it impossible for her to swear fiercely.The boy actually jumped down from the third floor with her in his arms.

×&&%&×&￥￥#××%&&&!

"hahahahahahahahaha--!"

There was a hearty vibration from the chest against the face.The head was tightly pressed, and it was impossible to see Lancelot's expression clearly at this time, but for some reason, Murashi felt that he must be showing an excited smile at this time.

Bang——The whole body was shaken violently, and Murashi Kazuya felt the ground under her feet was also shaking due to the impact, but she didn't feel any pain at all.The warm body hugging her tightly changed its angle in mid-air, acting as a cushion to protect her all the way until it hit the corner of the wall.

"It hurts! Hey, hey, hey... Did you inhale too much smoke? The whole world is spinning! And when I jumped down, I twisted my foot uselessly!"

Lancelot bluffed without any sense of tension, and Murasaki Kazuya was speechless, her face twitching non-stop.The boy didn't feel her confusion, he got up staggeringly, groped with his left hand on the grass, then grabbed Muriya's hand, grabbed it and ran away.

The girl, who was forced to run wildly again, gritted her teeth and asked, "Have you thought about how to land?"

"Don't worry, everything depends on luck."

"It's just luck! Are you an idiot?!"

"Oh, that's what you say when you're dead. But we managed to survive, so it should be a big deal at this time."

Great size!

Seeing the happy smile on Lancelot's face again, Murasaki couldn't be sure whether his brain was normal or not.

Flying in mid-air with a person in his arms, wondering if he can land safely, or being shot into a honeycomb by an assassin after landing, in such a dangerous situation, this guy can still laugh?Her life hadn't been special enough to casually call this existence "normal."Or is it that the definition of the so-called "human" in the current world is a creature that can jump from the third floor and be safe?No, how is it possible!

"You bastard... what are you thinking!"

Murashi Yaya is getting more and more confused about this strange creature named Lancelot.

No matter when he was teasing her, when others insulted him, or even when he was being hunted down, he always seemed so happy, enjoying the joy of this world to the best of his ability all the time.There's a subtle twist to this joy, though.

Just like the act of jumping from the third floor just now, although it was the only way to escape, it seemed to be done on purpose rather than being forced to do so.If it weren't for such a critical situation, he seemed to fall by himself.Although it is not masochistic, but there is such a part that makes people think "maybe I want to fall"...

While thinking wildly, the sound of machine gun fire gradually caught up from behind, and Murasaki Kazuya couldn't help but said, "It's not an option for us to keep running like this. You should have a weapon, right? Why don't you think of a way to fight back? I firmly oppose fighting with you." Martyrdom!"

"I have a weapon, but this way, don't you think it's too boring? Life is interesting only when there are ups and downs and ups and downs. Hahahaha!"

"You'll know what fun is when we're all dead!"

"Don't worry, my subordinates are not vegetarians either. Don't you think that the young master who is studying abroad is really unprotected? They should have acted when they heard the first gunshot. And, even if they If we don't act, we'll be fine."

"...What's the reason?"

"How can Missy not believe me? In the past ten years, I have encountered assassinations not only a hundred times but also fifty times, and there have been almost ten times when I didn't bring weapons by my side. The result is not the same. I survived. Believe it I have a lot of experience."

The blond boy's tone was very calm when he said joking words, and it was strange to have a slight sense of seriousness.For some reason, Murasaki Kazuya couldn't answer.

Lancelot pulled her around a turn, and turned into a remote alley, hiding her body under the surrounding dense grass.The two held their breath and listened to the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance, staying nearby for a while, and then gradually dispersed in other directions.

Lancelot just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, he felt an unusual chill on his back against the wall.

Like a conditioned reflex, he stopped Cunzi Yiya and immediately jumped away from the spot.And the next moment they jumped away, black spots appeared on the concrete wall, and in a blink of an eye, they became black and red like melting chocolate.The slime-like concrete fell with a patter, the grass hissed when it hit the slime, and the disgusting smell of burnt fibers filled the alley.

"Boom..." At the same time as the wall burst, several green arrow-shaped flames mixed with the rubble and shot towards the two of them.At the critical moment, Lancelot turned around and tightly protected the girl in his arms.Although he avoided the flame arrow, he still couldn't avoid a few flying clods.

After several rolls to open the distance, Lancelot immediately pulled Murashi Yaya behind him, and at the same time found that his left arm, which he used for defense, was no longer able to use his strength.However, these are secondary.

"Are you Lancelot Langrofes?"

A gloomy male voice came from the hole in the wall. The boy's light gray eyes were fixed on the figure standing in the shadows. He couldn't see the face clearly, but the green flames flickered in the shadows. There was a faint thunderous sound between the collisions.

"Really, such a master has been found. It seems that they must kill me this time. But then again, who are you, uncle?"

Lancelot laughed without feeling nervous, but Murashi could clearly see that the arm lying in front of her was trembling slightly.

Is he... afraid?

Looking up, he saw the young man's side face from behind, but there was a gorgeous smile on his face.

A happy smile from the heart.

To Lancelot's question, the man simply replied with two words: "Die."

An astonishing heat wave rushed towards his face, and his long hair danced wildly against the wind.The green flames began to change shape, quickly surrounding Murashi and Lancelot, and the grass and walls that were touched by the squirming flames melted away like jelly.The man raised his right hand and pulled the string of the crossbow tied to his wrist. The green flame condensed into a cluster of arrows, aiming at the two people who were trapped in the sea of ​​flames and had nowhere to escape.

A chill rushed from Murashi Yaya's fingers to his forehead, and the blood in his whole body froze.

Lei Zhiyan...the green light of death...just like that night a year ago...no way!

"Lancelot, hurry—"

As soon as the word "escape" was uttered, a violent explosion erupted in the middle of the narrow alley.

"boom--!"

The whole land was shaking, and the concrete walls were groaning as if they were about to burst.Murashi Kazuya's eyes were filled with raging crimson flames.The crimson flame entangled with the green flame was full of overwhelming sense of presence and coercion. Kazuya Murashi felt a pinprick pain all over her body, and the body of the boy next to her was exuding scorching energy. She dared not let go.

"……Oh."

As if he didn't see the green sea of ​​flames that was still approaching even though the crimson flames blocked him, Lancelot let out a very untimely chuckle.

"Uncle, I haven't lived enough. There are still many, many things I want to do. Being killed by you today - something like 'scourge' -"

The happy smile that Lancelot always wore on his face gradually deepened, but the expression in his eyes was as calm as a calm sea, and no one knew what kind of undercurrent was surging inside.

"—I really never thought about it."

Contrary to what he said, his expression was that of a condemned prisoner awaiting conviction.

Murashi Kazuya couldn't help but have this strange feeling.

Without saying a word, the man suddenly urged the flames to hit the two of them, and the scorching air that made people feel uncomfortable filled the entire space at once.Oxygen seemed to be swallowed up by this astonishing sea of ​​flames. Even with my mouth wide open, I couldn't breathe smoothly. My lungs felt like they were about to explode, and I felt a hot burning sensation.

"Lancelot—!"

Murasaki Kazuya shouted the name of the boy standing in front of her with all her strength, but she felt as if her voice had melted into the flames and could not spread.She couldn't do anything, she could only stare fixedly at the scene.

Lancelot, who was half kneeling on the ground, was overturned and surrounded by green flames.

And then there's the scene of the grass swallowed by the green flames melting softly.

Under the double oppression of suffocation and blinding glare, Kazuya Murura could only close her eyes and firmly grasped the only shield.At the moment when the vision turned dark, the first thing I felt was the heat that was about to scorch the skin, followed by bursts of loud explosions.The air was vibrating violently, and countless concrete blocks and mucus-like soil splashed onto her body, causing severe pain like fire. Even so, Muraki Yiya still did not dare to relax her hands.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!"

Suddenly, the man let out a painful scream, and Murasaki felt that the surrounding air suddenly stirred up a shock, which disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, only the man's scream continued.

"... Tsk, it's not very strong."

When she heard the boy say that, there was a hint of regret and peace of mind in his tone.

Regret is understandable, and peace of mind is also imaginable, but the combination of the two creates a subtle sense of dissonance.

Ignoring the screaming man, Lancelot turned around and smiled at Murasaki with the usual smile.Seeing his smiling face, Murashi Kazuya relaxed miraculously.Probably because his smile is too stupid to make people nervous...

"I'm really sorry for causing the eldest lady to be in danger together, are you okay? By the way, it's better to use my body to make an apology——oooh!"

Sure enough, it was stupid enough.

Unable to resist giving him a right punch in the abdomen, Murasaki, who knew she was wrong, turned her head and said dryly, "Although I don't want to say it, thank you for saving me."

"...Say thank you after beating someone, as expected of a young lady."

Murasaki twitched the corners of her mouth, then abruptly changed the subject: "I didn't expect you to be quite strong..."

"Really? Isn't it?!" Lancelot's eyes lit up like a light bulb on a switch, and hurriedly moved over, pointing to the wound on his body, "However, even if a strong man like me is injured, It still hurts, and if it is not treated in time, it will still leave old problems. I can be cured easily, as long as the eldest lady can help me lick it!"

"roll!"

"Ah, ah, ah... so cold, so indifferent! I was the one who protected you, but... ah, ah..."

"Kill you! Get me back to normal!"

She was about to rush over and trample him into a pulp, but Muraki Kazuya mobilized all her willpower to resist the urge to kill.

At this time, a group of men in black suits—the subordinates of the Lancelot family arrived late.A serious red-haired middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lancelot.

"Young master, Miss Cunzi, I am extremely sorry that my subordinates did not arrive in time. Fortunately, both of you are safe and sound."

The tone was sincere and sincere, but it didn't sound like he was worried about their young master's business at all, or that he knew that everything would be fine here, so he came slowly after cleaning up everything.

"It's good that you can come here. Don't say those words, I feel disgusting." Lancelot obviously understood the temperament of his subordinates, and casually pointed to the assassin who fell to the ground like mud, "Here, Your reward."

"This subordinate will definitely pry open this person's head and dedicate all the secrets to the young master!"

The red-haired man ordered his subordinates to carry the assassin away. At this moment, a faint low laugh escaped from the assassin's mouth, revealing undeniable contempt, disgust and...fear.

"Ha... ha ha ha... Sure enough... it's exactly what they said... You are the one who devoured your parents, companions, and friends... the son of the devil... the incarnation of disaster..."

At that moment, Murashi thought that the man's body would explode like a firework with flesh and blood.

However, nothing happened.

Lancelot, who had his back to her, didn't move, he just watched the assassin silently, the murderous intent bursting out from him was as sharp as a needle.The contempt and disgust shown by the other party quickly faded away, and in the end, only pure fear remained on his face.Everyone was still, waiting for the blond boy to speak.

After a few seconds, and what seemed like a long time, Lancelot said, "Uncle, what did you say? I'm just unlucky."

The subordinates didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly bundled up the assassin and took them away.Murasaki stood there and didn't know what to say, but Lancelot apologized to her as if nothing happened: "Oh, I didn't expect to let the lady see such an annoying thing, I'm really sorry."

"……It's ok."

What else can she say besides this sentence?Firstly, she is not qualified to meddle in Lang Luo Feisi's affairs now; secondly, she has no vulgar interest in prying into other people's privacy.

Just when Muraki Yiya proposed to go back, Lancelot suddenly said: "It's so sad, Missy is so uninterested in my affairs?"

Murazina was stunned for a moment, and Lancelot didn't even want to wait for her answer, and said to himself: "Just now uncle said that I am the son of the devil and the incarnation of disaster. It is true. I don't know why, I always You will be involved in a 'disaster'. Missy should have heard of the incident that happened when I was eight years old, right? The Pelphie family mobilized three times the number of troops stationed in the main house of Lang Luofusi to launch an attack , the people of Langluofusi, Perfeis, and my parents, all died, such a tragic battle, I was still an unarmed toddler, and I survived."

"That's... your mother desperately rescued..."

Lancelot ignored her speech and continued: "Afterwards, in the large and small assassination attacks that occurred because of me, no matter how great the difference between the enemy and us, no matter how powerful people participated in the battle, most of them would Died in battle, and the few who survived will also die in the near future. The most powerful one was the spring outing four years ago.

"At that time, I was studying in an ordinary middle school. My grandfather protected me very well. Maybe it was because my performance was too poor. My grandfather had no choice but to let me grow up like an ordinary person. In short, the people around me are These are very ordinary people. There have been no assassinations or attacks in the past three years from the age of eight to 11. I also thought that I would live an ordinary life like this. But in the end, something happened during the spring outing four years ago Everyone—whether teachers or classmates, people sent to protect me, or people who attacked me—all died.”

"In the end, I was the only one who survived to the end."

"Well, but I don't think that my existence is hated by fate, or cursed. I'm just a little bit unlucky. It's just that I was born to be unlucky. Only I live alone. This is the result .”

As if thinking of something interesting, Lancelot lowered his head and laughed softly.

Murashi Kazuya's throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't even utter a single broken syllable.

This is not a ridiculous thing, nor can it be perfunctory with a sentence of "bad luck".

——"In the end, I was the only one who survived to the end."

She can only express her admiration for this young man who did not mourn her tragic birth, nor rejoice because of her lucky survival, but eulogizes life loudly.

- This is the result.

only……

"- Scourge..."

The girl's sudden murmur made Lancelot's eyes widen, and he looked sideways at her.

"You said just now that it is impossible to accept the punishment of the gods, right? The so-called punishment of the gods is the punishment imposed by the gods on the heinous people. So, what crime have you committed? Or, what crime do you think you have committed to justify the crime?" Will be punished by God?"

After a short period of shock, Lancelot returned to his faceless smile: "Oh, miss, do you want to know me better? It's a great honor."

Murashi Kazuma intuitively couldn't nod, but her body nodded firmly as if consciously against her will.

This kind of thing is not like my style at all.

Of course she knew, but she just couldn't let him go.

There is a mirror there.

Seeing him for the first time gave her the illusion of seeing another self—this was not an illusion.

The flame that burns the people around him until there is no one left, and the flame that only allows him to live until now.Burn out everyone other than yourself, leaving yourself to survive till now.Such a life is like the fire of karma in hell.However, the real flame is not others, but oneself; the disasters that happen to all people are all because of themselves; it is as if the "disaster" has borrowed a human body.

At that time, the young boy may have started to think so.

Like the self who kept blaming himself for the tragedy that happened to his family a year ago because he couldn't do anything.

Staring at her quietly for a while, Lancelot seemed to have seen through all her thoughts, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Miss, I am not pitiful at all. I said that I don't think I am a The cursed existence is [-]% true and sincere."

"No, I'm not—"

"Don't worry, I won't hate Missy just because of this."

Lancelot interrupted her with a smile, as if not listening to her.

"They didn't say it, but I know they've avoided contact with me since then. I'm not sad, but seeing other unrelated people with malice because of the behavior of these people who are closely related to me I got a little annoyed when I speculated wildly. They looked at me like, 'You're guilty,' but I didn't think I was guilty at all."

"However, people around me repeat the same sentence over and over again. After a long time, it will make people feel that this is the truth. Maybe I have also been affected. Everyone except me says I am guilty, but why? Only I don’t feel guilty, as if a guilty person has no sense of guilt, is there anything more sinful than this? However, it’s not clear whether the so-called sin is the real sin, no matter what I think, there is no answer , so I think—it’s better to use consequentialism to decide.”

"If I'm dead, I'm guilty; if I'm alive, I'm innocent."

Lancelot's smiling eyes kept staring at her, their shining eyes seemed to be waiting for her praise.

"...Then, why is it still like this?"

There was silence for a long time, and finally, Murasaki Kazuya managed to utter a word.Although there was no beginning or end, Lancelot understood.

"Ah, why do you ask? Because I don't know if I'm really guilty. It's good to be innocent, but what if I'm guilty? I'm afraid no one will forgive me, maybe even the heavens can't see it. I I have always felt that if I am really guilty, then I must try my best to live."

"……why would you say so?"

"Isn't it easy to understand? You obviously didn't want to die, but you died; you wanted to live seriously, but you were killed like a bug. Only in this way can it be called a 'scourge'."

The boy curled his lips, and his tone was as casual as if he was not talking about his own affairs.Murasaki Kazuya was speechless listening to the boy's non-stop talking.

It's ridiculous.It was so ridiculous that she wanted to slap him hard, and then yelled "clean out the waste in my brain! Unless you breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen, your existence is nothing short of trying to survive in this place." An insult to the people of the world!"

Feel ashamed at the same time.Is it so annoying to blame that person for no reason a year ago?

but--

"Miss is completely different from me."

The boy said so.

"Obviously something like that happened, but Missy never gave up. She is really strong. She is not like me at all. Moreover, I know Missy hates people like me who live to die. Because of this, That's why I like you."

With a hearty smile and indifferent words, Lancelot pierced Murashi's heart beating rapidly.

Do not make jokes……

Like this, using her as a way of punishing herself—

unforgivable!

The author has something to say: After returning from a trip to Inner Mongolia, I am black charcoal TT

This year Inner Mongolia has suffered a severe drought. It has not rained for several months, and the grass is yellow and wilting. However, the scenery of the grassland is still very good.Especially horseback riding!Running with no one to lead me was really cool and exciting, although I woke up the next day without pain in any part of my body, as if it was too much... What was even more painful was that when I went to the desert the next day, I was scorched by the high temperature while Also have to endure the wide and super pointed camelback OTL as if sitting on SM's Trojan horse
