【Master Ming】Golden Day of the Gods
Chapter 5
The hot summer is finally over.In late October, after the mid-term exams in the second half of the semester, Akechi sent Niwa a message, telling him that the school recommended him to a famous private high school, and if nothing else happened, he would get a full scholarship.
"That would be great. ’ Soon, Niwa responded.
"Although it's not completely confirmed yet, I can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being."
"Thank you, are you free this weekend?" 』
"Can I say I'm not free?"
"That means I'm free."To celebrate, let me take you to a nice place. 』
"A good place?...I still remember the time you took me to the bar of the male eldest sister in Shinjuku last time."
"It's a nice place, although you can't drink alcohol. 』
Akechi spent some time imagining how to associate "big sister", "bar" and "nice". To be honest, the memory of that night is a bit fragmented, obviously he didn't drink anything alcoholic.That Niwa Sakuya is also unbelievable, how did he manage to find such a bar without the eyes and ears of the police, and why he got to know the boss of the male eldest sister... Although the boss (mother) named Lala is a bit nagging, but for the underage They are quite tolerant, and they seem to be sensible and soft-hearted people.
"But this time it's not that kind of place.To celebrate your promotion, be sure to eat something good. 』
So on the weekend, he kept his promise and took Akechi to an upscale hotel known for its buffets, who glared at him and reminded him that he was a poor student with little money.Niwa smiled and said it was okay.
"I got the first grade in the mid-term exam, and my family gave me a sum of pocket money."
The liar!Since I can take the first place in the grade, I still need to make up lessons by myself?Before Zhizhi had time to refuse, Niwa had already pulled him into a seat.
"I said you, can't you go to a place that is more in line with the status of a middle school student?"
Zhizhi noticed that there were all expensively dressed upper-class people present, so he turned uncomfortably to the black-haired boy with a relaxed face beside him, and the latter just asked the waiter for two cups of coffee.
"Can't middle school students come to this kind of place?" He turned his head and looked puzzled.
Zhizhi felt that his worries were futile, and rolled his eyes in his heart.
"...you are familiar with this kind of place."
"It's okay, I've been here before." Niwa smiled at him, "Go get something to eat."
The two took a lot of food, and Niwa kept piling food on Sensible's plate.Now that things have come to this point, Zhizhi has no choice but to accept his kindness.
"The summer vacation is over like this." Niwa returned to his seat, and suddenly said with emotion.
"You played the whole summer vacation, isn't that enough?" Zhizhi gave him a white look. "I've been working part-time for a long time."
"Well... I also did a lot of things, summer vacation. But it still feels a little not enough."
"how?"
"I have never been to the beach, and I always feel a little regretful."
He looked at the wise man who was handling the food on the plate in a somewhat clumsy posture, and laughed inadvertently.
"I want to go to the beach with Akechi."
"what?"
"Have you ever been to the beach?"
"I've seen the sea, but I haven't been there..." On the way to and from relatives' homes, I passed by the sea, and I could see a large dark coast from the car window.Although the classmates in the summer vacation class will discuss going to the beach every year, but he has never joined in it.He wasn't interested in this topic at first, but seeing Niwa's excited face, he unconsciously imagined going to the beach with him to play.
"Let's go together next year."
Zhizhi couldn't say any words of rejection, and nodded slightly.Niwa then laughed and gave him some more food from his own plate, telling him to eat more.
While they were feasting, several ladies passed by their table, whispering just enough for them to hear:
"Oh... the children of this family, the parents are really big-hearted, let them come to this kind of place by themselves."
"Really, I really want to see what their parents look like."
Niwa raised his eyes and looked at Akechi who suddenly stopped moving.His long eyelashes drooped, and he looked like he was munching on something unpalatable.
"Don't pay attention to other people's words." Niwa said lightly.
"I didn't care..." Wise smiled a bit reluctantly, "I've always been here like this, and I'm used to being said that."
"About the parents?"
Sensei hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"May I ask? What kind of people are your parents?"
"Don't you know everything about me?" Wisely asked, "So what if you ask me these things now."
"I want to know everything about you." Niwa looked straight into his eyes.Wisely frowned, should this person be said to be cunning or innocent? He knew so many things he shouldn't know, but he still insisted on telling the answer himself.
"My mother was someone else's mistress and bore me foolishly and ended up being betrayed and raised me by herself until she died when I was 5 years old. She was a failure and a miserable fool .”
Niwa blinked and pondered for a while thoughtfully.
"Maybe, at that time, she thought that giving birth to this child was what she wanted to do most. Your mother gave birth to you in spite of the world's eyes, and she did it by her own will. Therefore, luck or misfortune may only be hers. Only then did I know."
"Who really wanted her to give birth to me?" Zhizhi's anger seemed to be ignited suddenly, "No one expected my arrival. In the eyes of relatives and people around me, I am just an unwanted child!"
Before he finished speaking, Akechi noticed the strange gazes from around him.He suppressed the words mixed with dirty emotions in his throat, calmed down for a while, and then slowly said sorry.Niwa shook his head and said it was okay, instead he moved closer to Akechi and looked at him seriously.
"Is that so?"
"?!"
"Not needed, no one expected you... I don't think so."
The black-haired boy's hand was close to his chin and cheek, just such physical contact made him tremble from the bottom of his heart.Because since he was born, no one came to help him when he was depressed and suffering.This man was the first to knock on his door so tenderly.
He looked away, not because of anything else, but because he was uncomfortable with such tenderness.If he could look at the other person squarely at this moment, he might be able to detect the pleading and uneasiness buried deep in his eyes.
"...I'm going to the bathroom."
He still subconsciously chose to escape.
What a gaffe.
Zhizhi scooped up a handful of water and tried to wake himself up. Thinking about it, it was still a public place, and it was incompatible with this kind of place, and he was provoked by that person so that he lost his usual calmness...
What are you doing? Being influenced by others doesn't look like me at all.
He stood in front of the mirror for a while, making sure that his expression had returned to calm, then turned and opened the door, but when he went out, he accidentally bumped into the oncoming man.
"Ah, sorry,"
"Tsk, why are there brats here?"
Zhizhi raised his head and looked at the other party. The person who came was a bald man wearing a suit and light-colored sunglasses. Although he did not often appear in the news, Zhizhi recognized who he was at a glance, and his expression froze immediately.
Sensing Akechi's gaze on him, the man gave him a suspicious look before turning and going into the bathroom.Wisely stood outside the door, while his heart was beating fast, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
——This is the man.
It was him, the chief culprit who made his mother and himself so miserable.
"Sensible? Are you all right?"
A familiar voice brought him back to his senses.He turned his head in panic, and Niwa stood behind him, looking at him inquiringly.
"I see that you haven't come back, and I'm worried that you are not feeling well What's the matter, your face is very bad."
"I'm fine..."
"It's not all right, hey, wise!"
Niwa trotted a few steps to catch up with Akechi and grabbed him, seeing his look of boredom and disgust, he asked with concern: "What happened?"
"It's none of your business."
"How can it be okay? We are friends."
"It's so annoying! Don't pretend to be a friend to meddle in your own business!"
Akechi opened his hand with a roar, and then the air suddenly became quiet, Niwa stood there blankly, his mouth half-opened, and then closed silently.
Sensible realized he was overreacting.He must have felt inexplicable to be treated like this when he did nothing.Just being stared at by him like this made Zhizhi feel a dull pain in his heart.
—I pushed away people who could have been friends again.
However, he must not be allowed to know about that man.If he knew, what would he think of himself?
Zhizhi glanced at him hastily, turned around and left quickly without looking back.This time, no one came to hold him back.
After confirming that he has not received any new messages, Zhizhi reluctantly threw the phone beside the pillow, put his hands on his face and groaned softly.
It's the third day.After the unhappy breakup that day, Niwa never sent him any news.
For a long time, it was Niwa who took the initiative to contact him, and the number of times he took the initiative can be counted on the palm of one hand.This time, he was the one who made unreasonable troubles first, no matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't stand it.But you have to take the initiative to admit your mistakes. You are wise and can't bear this face. Every time you look at your phone and hesitate for a long time, you end up giving up.
——What, that guy, are you still angry?As long as he took the initiative to talk to me, I would be able to say that sorry.
After all, why do I have to worry so much about that kind of person? !
Whispering these nonsensical words back and forth in his heart, while blaming the person who failed to succumb actively, Zhizhi fell into a deep self-loathing.
"You are only a top student in your grades, who would be friends with someone like you. 』
The news that he got the recommendation qualification reached the ears of those students who had bullied him. They laughed at him contemptuously, but they dared not do anything to him again - this was also thanks to Niwa Sakuya.
At that time, he could ignore the trash talk without changing his face, but only then did he realize that maybe except for Shuo Ye, no one really wants to be friends with him.
"……hateful……"
I grabbed the phone and opened the chat app, clicked on the familiar avatar, tried to input "Are you there", deleted it, and then re-typed "Are you awake, I'm so sorry that day", and deleted it again.
Ah - it can't be done at all!By the way, what kind of dialogue is this? It's almost like female middle school students quarreling and reconciling.
It's too pitiful for a human being who can't even do such a trivial thing, Goro Akechi.
...Am I being abandoned again?
Thinking of this, wise eyes became dim.
No, no, don't think about him.Compared to him, that person - Shitong Zhengyi, was finally found by me.
I saw that man in my mother's photo album, only one photo.He probably didn't know anything about the fact that the mistress he had been with for a short time gave birth to a son for him, and even if he knew, he would not care about the other party's life or death.A hypocritical cold-blooded bastard.
The loneliness and pain experienced by my mother and myself must be tasted by each other.
Let him see hell in his own eyes.Absolutely cannot let him go.
As long as I can get revenge on that man, even if I become Shura, I am willing.
At this time, the phone beeped.
Zhizhi thought it was information, and immediately got up and turned on the phone, only to find that there was an icon on the interface that he had no impression of.It was an APP with a weird red background and a black eye.
What's this?I have no impression of downloading it, so it must be a virus.
Wisely frowned, and decisively deleted the unfamiliar app.It seemed that it was impossible to get news from that person tonight. With complicated thoughts, he closed his eyes, as if being dragged into sleep by a hand.
"...Do you need strength..."
--Who?
"This world is hopeless, full of selfish people, fighting with each other, drifting with the tide... Everyone lives in their own cage, and no one here understands you, and no one gives you a helping hand."
— shut up... shut up...
"Do you want revenge? To the world that made you so miserable."
--I……
"wise!"
The familiar voice was like a ray of light piercing the darkness.He stood in the prison-like abyss, hearing the sound and watching.
A black shadow appeared as if stepping on the moon. It was the first time I had seen the vigorous and vigorous posture, but it felt familiar.
He thought he knew the figure.
>>>
"Miss Yishi, that child is here again."
"Again? What's the matter with him? I'm busy and don't have time to play with the children."
Isshiki Ruoye frowned, and waved her hand to ask the assistant to send the visitor away.The assistant complied resentfully, and came back a moment later to say that the child seemed to insist on seeing Isshiki Wakaba himself.
"I really don't give up..."
"That's right, you know Miss Isshiki doesn't even have time to accompany Futaba, how can she have time to accompany other children."
"Shut up for me too."
Isshiki Wakaba glared at the assistant threateningly, finally stood up from the computer, walked out of the research room, and saw the black-haired boy who had been coming to the door three days ago at the front desk and asked to see him tirelessly.Seeing Luo Ye, the boy in school uniform saluted her politely.He looks like a middle school student, probably not a few years older than Futaba.
"Is that you, always clamoring to see me?"
"Nice to meet, Isshiki-san, I'm Niwa Sakuya. It's great to meet you."
Niwa smiled sincerely at the female researcher who had long since died in his memory, but was still alive and well in front of him at this moment.
"Cognition? How do you know the term?"
Isshiki Wakaba stared at the strange boy seriously.
"Because I have seen the cognitive world with my own eyes."
"...Impossible. Cognitive science is still only theoretical research, and I haven't published it at all. This project is still top secret. How could you know?"
"It's also difficult for me to explain to you. I can only say that I have been in it and seen the distorted cognition of people in reality."
At this moment, Niwa's cell phone rang, he glanced at it and pressed it, and continued: "Miss Isshiki, I came this time to warn you: your research will have a major impact on the world, and In the near future, villains will be eyeing this research and do things that will harm you and your family."
Isshiki Wakaba smiled in disbelief. "Of course I know how influential my research will be, but you said that someone is eyeing my research. How can I believe such baseless words?"
"I really don't have evidence at the moment, but what I said is true." Niwa stared at her closely, "For your safety, I suggest you pay more attention to suspicious people around you."
"Like you?" Yishi Ruoye lost her patience, stood up and was about to leave, "I'm sorry I really don't have time to listen to these nonsense, you know, research is very important to this world."
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, Miss Isshiki." Niwa stopped her, "But please believe in Futaba, please...spend more time with her."
"Oh, Luo Ye, you are here."
"Sojirou, are you here today?"
"What's the matter, it seems to be sullen... huh? How can there be children here?"
Sakura Sojiro, who came to deliver the documents, caught a glimpse of the black-haired boy coming out of the conference room. The latter also saw him and nodded at him with a smile.Yishi Ruoye pulled him to the research room, frowning: "Strange boy, he seems to know about the research, and also about me and Futaba."
"This... who is he?"
"I don't know.... Sojiro, you may need to take care of Futaba more recently."
"Where is it, haven't I been taking care of it all the time? Don't worry, but don't wear yourself out, take care of Futaba more."
"How did you say the same thing as that kid just now? I know..."
After walking out of the research institute, Niwa remembered the phone ringing in the conference room.He opened it and saw that it was wise information.
"Where have you been these days?"
This guy doesn't take the initiative easily, and asks difficult questions when he takes the initiative.Niwa smiled wryly, he is really a proud and not frank person.A few days ago, who thought he was meddling in his own business.
Throwing yourself away like last time, saying you're not angry would be a lie.He has been busy looking for the whereabouts of Yishi Ruoye these days, and he has no time to care about so much. On the other hand, he also hopes that Zhizhi will speak up by himself-if he keeps doing this, he will never see his true thoughts clearly.
"There's something wrong with the school. What's the matter?"
"...If you're busy, let's talk about it next time. 』
"Wait, do you have something to tell me?"
After a long time over there, the words "that day... sorry" came out.
Akechi Goro apologizes to people, that's a new thing.This was the first time among all the wise men he knew.
"I accept the apology. So what happened that day?"
"...It's nothing, it's really just uncomfortable. 』
Niwa frowned, no matter how patient he was, it didn't mean he could tolerate it infinitely.It's okay not to let him know that there are some things that he can't compromise.
"If you really want to apologize, at least you have to tell the truth first. This kind of sincerity should be there, right?"
He typed this message and sent it, then pressed the phone and stuffed it into his pocket, heading for another destination.
Zhizhi stared at the last sentence for a full 2 minutes before he was so angry that he dropped his phone on the bed.
What is "this bit of sincerity"?Who does he think he is?How determined did he think I was to take the initiative to send a message to apologize? !Too much for this guy.He was also the one who said he wanted to be friends at the beginning, but now he is inexplicably neglecting himself.
Goro Akechi, who had never shown weakness to anyone since he was a child, gritted his teeth and beat the pillow several times, and fell powerlessly on the bed.
What is this feeling that people cannot ignore.
Why can't you calm down when it comes to that person?As if being controlled by someone physically and mentally, I really want to get rid of this bad state.
But how to tell him the truth.Shitong can't tell him about justice anyway, so what if he knows?If he knew that he wanted revenge on someone, he would definitely not agree.
Zhizhi closed his eyes, and the caring face of that person appeared in his mind, imagining his hands pressed against his chin and cheeks like that day, warm physical contact.No one had ever done that to him, not even his mother who died young.No one has ever loved him, and no one really wants to understand Goro Akechi's mind, his past, and his incompleteness.
Only Niwa Sakuya said that he would be his first friend.Zhizhi doesn't want to admit that he actually cherishes his relationship with him more than he imagined.
What would you say if...if you saw him.
He saw the man's slightly forward shoulders, smooth neckline, and curly shiny black hair.But he turned his back to himself, and put his hands in the pockets of the school uniform, which didn't seem to be the school uniform.Confused and joyful in his heart, he called his name behind him.The black eyes matching his name looked at him, and he was wearing glasses, which didn't look like him at all.
He asked how you became like this, but that person just responded silently, until the surprise in his heart turned into anxiety, and the inquiry turned into screaming, but from the beginning to the end, the other party just looked at him with almost pity, and the eyes behind the lens were indifferent strangeness.
In the next second, he grabbed the man's neck fiercely with a strength that surprised him.The nails sank into the flesh, and the ambiguous and wet blood snaked down from the neck, and the white collar gradually turned red.don't want.don't want.don't want.I don't want this.You look at me.I don't want to kill you.He spat out these words unconsciously, but the black-haired boy in front of him grinned and gave him a distorted smile.
No, no, that's not what I want.Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, ah, ah, ah——
Blood rained down, and he knelt and stared hopelessly into the void, bathed in the blood of friends he had killed.He looked down at his trembling hands, sobbing out of tune.
Why...became like this...
——In fact, you are not needed by him, but you are afraid.
The phantasmagoric person in front of him—no, I should say something like that—was shrouded in an ominous dark atmosphere, but he seemed to be imprisoned by chains, and he was only bewitching the boy in front of him with his voice.
Who are you……?
Zhizhi sat in the darkness, looking at the vision in front of him in a daze.
——I know your hatred and pain.The person you miss, does he really like you?If he really cares about you, why is he so indifferent to you?
He... no... he just because I wasn't telling the truth...
——In fact, you have always been acting affectionate, and he was just playing with you.Who will believe you when it turns out you've been hiding so many secrets.
No... No... He took the initiative to say that he wanted to be friends with me, and that he would go to the beach together next year...
--you are too naive.Are you really that important to him?Haven't you been hurt enough?When did you start trusting others too?
I, no, believe him...but...
——Wake up, Akechi Goro.You have been deceived for too long by the dreams he created.That kind of thing with friends is not for you at all.But you don't need to be afraid, haven't you always come here like this?
Zhizhi woke up suddenly in the dark night, and found that there was no shadow vision in front of him, only the dull and low ceiling reminded him of his location.
"It's a dream..."
He rested his hands on his eyes in desperation, and the warm liquid flowed out and wet his wrists.This surprised him, since he had cried very little since his mother's death.He must not let others see his weakness, he was so determined then, and he has been successful all these years.
Goro Akechi, what are you thinking about making such an embarrassing look for a boy whom he has only known for a few months!Nothing like you.
He clenched his fist tightly, and the nails left bloodstains on the palm of his hand. The feeling reminded him of the scene in his dream, and the feeling of killing someone was still lingering.He suddenly felt nausea in his stomach, turned over and covered his mouth and retched.
"It was just a dream..."
He convinced himself while taking a deep breath, his mouth was bitter like drinking black coffee.He couldn't imagine that he would kill that person with his own hands.After all, it was just a tantrum between friends, so why kill him?Even if it was Shi Tong Zhengyi whom he hated to the bone, he never thought of killing him.
No, I can't think about it, it's just a dream.
With trembling arms in his arms, Akechi lay down on the bed again and tried to get rid of unnecessary thoughts.He remembered that night, when Shuo Ye slept here, he said that he liked himself, the kind of like a friend.
He said, please believe me.
Zhizhi turned his body sideways, staring at the empty floor for a long time, an indescribable anguish suddenly enveloped his heart.
It’s good to be familiar with emptiness; it’s good to get used to loneliness—he used to think that it would be good.But the appearance of that person made his gray-toned life brighter, but without him, the world quickly withered.
If even he doesn't need me.
Then who else needs me?
After school the next day, Akechi came to the flower shop where he worked part-time. While chatting, the manager of the flower shop told him that Niwa had been here not long ago.
"He... is my friend here for something?" Zhi Zhi asked, a little hope "maybe he came to look for me" ignited in his heart.
"Hmm~ He bought a bouquet of roses, and I asked him who he was giving it to, and he said it was for women~ Oh, you have a girlfriend at such a young age, are all middle school students so bold now?"
Akechi shook his hand when he heard the news and dropped all the flowers in his hand to the ground.
"What's the matter? It's really not like you, wise man, I feel out of my mind today."
"No, nothing... sorry..."
Having said that, there are still turbulent waves in the wise mind - does that guy have a girlfriend? ?How come I never heard of it? ? ?
Zhizhi secretly clenched his fists in his heart—the image of that curly-haired bastard who had forgotten his friends with a certain girl swallowed his reason, and his emotions were like boiling magma, which could not be extinguished no matter what.
After working in the evening, Zhizhi walked into the Shibuya subway station to buy bread and juice for dinner. When the clerk handed him the juice, a familiar figure passed out of the corner of his eye.At that moment, he subconsciously hid in the dark, causing the clerk to cast a strange look at him.After making sure that the other party didn't notice him, he stuffed the dinner into his bag and followed quietly.
It's already 9 o'clock in the evening, what is this guy still hanging around here?Wisely kept his attention on the man ten meters away, followed him into the gate and got into the car, hid at the other end of the car, pretending to be reading the library book, while secretly looking at the boy on the other side.That was the culprit who had made him lose his mind these past few days.
But I didn't notice it so close... Could it be that I have the potential to be a detective?
Zhizhi laughed at himself while observing the other party's every move from time to time.And Niwa, who didn't notice it, just bowed his head and typed on the phone.Zhizhi quickly took out his mobile phone, but there was no message sent to himself.
He clicked his tongue angrily, and focused his attention on the other party again.At this moment, the train arrived at the station, and Niwa also followed the crowd out of the carriage. Akechi followed all the way and found that they were heading for the entertainment street in Shinjuku.
Only now did he realize that Niwa was not wearing a school uniform, and at the same time he was glad that he would change into casual clothes before going to work, at least he would not be so easy to be spotted by the police.He followed him through an intersection, and saw him stop in front of a fortune-telling booth, talking to the young woman sitting there, the blonde girl seemed to know him, the two chatted happily, and Niwa was unusually shy.To Zhizhi, this is quite unpleasant: this appearance, or this expression, has never appeared when he was with him.
After chatting with the fortune teller for about 10 minutes, Niwa said goodbye to her.Zhizhi, who was hiding in the dark, followed closely, all the way to the place where he also had an impression.The new male eldest sister's bar, which Niwa once brought himself to.
He watched the black-haired boy swaggering into the store, and secretly groaned in his heart.After all, he had been to the shop before, so it was impossible for him to follow in.In desperation, he had no choice but to choose a corner of the vending machine opposite the bar and wait.
What the hell am I doing... I'm so stupid...
Realizing that he was acting like a stalker, Akechi squatted down and slammed his forehead on his knees in embarrassment.Isn't this the same as Niwa back then?Speaking of which, he used to be my stalker... Really, this role reversal is too thorough...
Akechi was extremely frustrated that he would be reduced to being a stalker's stalker.What's even more frustrating is that I'm still squatting in this place waiting like an abandoned puppy.
Why do I have to be so self-abuse?If he doesn't care about me, why should I care about him?
Suddenly he was afraid of what he was about to see.This fear drove him to stand up, ready to leave here.At this moment, the door of the bar opened.Zhizhi stood in the dark and was able to see the person coming out of the door.
A short-haired woman who obviously drank a little too high, and Niwa Sakuya following behind.The woman who looked a bit like a reporter turned around and grabbed Niwa and said something to him. The latter stroked his hair with a wry smile, and was slapped heavily on the back twice by the woman laughing.Then the two walked towards the station together, Niwa helped each other from time to time on the way, so that she would not fall with her sloppy footsteps.
Akechi followed silently until they entered the station and separated.He didn't know how he got home, he only remembered meeting his relative who gave him a cold look, and hid in his hut, collapsed on the bed.
I am a fool.He actually believed that he really wanted to be friends with him.It never occurred to him what would happen if he got tired of himself.When you are extremely anxious, people are still dating girls as if nothing had happened.He and you are not from the same world, and everything is just your beautiful illusion.Because you never had friends and didn't know what a friend was; you longed for a friend and he took advantage of that, so you got scammed.
A man who never trusted anyone was lied to.Zhizhi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
——Not needed, no one expected your arrival... I don't think so.
It sounded so nice, but didn't you still betray me in the end?No one needs me, no one expects me.I am still alone.
—Have you finally looked at yourself?
It was that voice that seemed to have been heard somewhere before.Sensei raised his head and found himself in the quiet darkness.The black shadow in front of him who was chained kept changing its shape, uttering words of temptation to him.
——That's right, only you are reliable in this world, and others will betray you at some point.From childhood to adulthood, how many times you have been abandoned, you should be the most clear.
— so accept yourself, you who embrace the darkness.Think of what you have endured to this day.Are you still suppressing yourself?
...ah, that's right.I've had enough.
Akechi stood up shaking, clenched his fists and stood in the darkness.
Why should I believe in such an unreasonable world?Just destroy this world.Everyone is ignoring me, and since no one wants me, I don't need anyone else.Just take revenge on the man who was the culprit.As long as "Father" can recognize my existence and be defeated by me, nothing else is needed.
— Do you want "power"?Rebel against the blade of vengeance of this world.
The black shadow asked the question persuasively.Zhizhi thought of the bald man's contempt for him, and the cold eyes of his relatives... All these humiliations stemmed from the fact that he was still a weak child.He said to Sombra without hesitation:
I need strength.I want to change all that.I want to teach these indifferent adults with my own hands, and let them bow their heads in front of me.
--Oh well.Your anger, your determination, I will give you the ability to match it.
The black figure raised his hand, and Zhi Zhi felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and lowered his head to find that his heels were restrained by a formless black mist.Then the black mist wrapped around his wrists, waist, chest and neck.
Then Zhizhi realized that he had changed into a black attire, with a black helmet with horns on his head.The outfit looked ridiculous even without looking in the mirror, but he couldn't laugh.
Who are you?He looked at the shadow with some trepidation.Dark Shadow laughed.
——I am you, and you are me——
The black shadow announced that all the chains on his body were broken in an instant.The black shadow that had been liberated, the blackness on his body gradually faded, revealing his true colors.Akechi looked at the other person's appearance, his eyes widened.
It was a human figure painted with black and white stripes, its feet were in the shape of horseshoes, and two uncomfortable horns on its forehead, like the organs of a parasite.Although there was a sense of disgust that could not be watched, Akechi felt a kind of excitement that was almost desperate.
My heart turned out to be so ugly.
Akechi Goro is still alive, but his inner balance is going his own way and sinking into darkness.He killed the joy that was born when he met his first friend, and the consciousness awakened by Niwa Sakuya in just a few months, and let the poor prisoner die silently.

"That would be great. ’ Soon, Niwa responded.
"Although it's not completely confirmed yet, I can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being."
"Thank you, are you free this weekend?" 』
"Can I say I'm not free?"
"That means I'm free."To celebrate, let me take you to a nice place. 』
"A good place?...I still remember the time you took me to the bar of the male eldest sister in Shinjuku last time."
"It's a nice place, although you can't drink alcohol. 』
Akechi spent some time imagining how to associate "big sister", "bar" and "nice". To be honest, the memory of that night is a bit fragmented, obviously he didn't drink anything alcoholic.That Niwa Sakuya is also unbelievable, how did he manage to find such a bar without the eyes and ears of the police, and why he got to know the boss of the male eldest sister... Although the boss (mother) named Lala is a bit nagging, but for the underage They are quite tolerant, and they seem to be sensible and soft-hearted people.
"But this time it's not that kind of place.To celebrate your promotion, be sure to eat something good. 』
So on the weekend, he kept his promise and took Akechi to an upscale hotel known for its buffets, who glared at him and reminded him that he was a poor student with little money.Niwa smiled and said it was okay.
"I got the first grade in the mid-term exam, and my family gave me a sum of pocket money."
The liar!Since I can take the first place in the grade, I still need to make up lessons by myself?Before Zhizhi had time to refuse, Niwa had already pulled him into a seat.
"I said you, can't you go to a place that is more in line with the status of a middle school student?"
Zhizhi noticed that there were all expensively dressed upper-class people present, so he turned uncomfortably to the black-haired boy with a relaxed face beside him, and the latter just asked the waiter for two cups of coffee.
"Can't middle school students come to this kind of place?" He turned his head and looked puzzled.
Zhizhi felt that his worries were futile, and rolled his eyes in his heart.
"...you are familiar with this kind of place."
"It's okay, I've been here before." Niwa smiled at him, "Go get something to eat."
The two took a lot of food, and Niwa kept piling food on Sensible's plate.Now that things have come to this point, Zhizhi has no choice but to accept his kindness.
"The summer vacation is over like this." Niwa returned to his seat, and suddenly said with emotion.
"You played the whole summer vacation, isn't that enough?" Zhizhi gave him a white look. "I've been working part-time for a long time."
"Well... I also did a lot of things, summer vacation. But it still feels a little not enough."
"how?"
"I have never been to the beach, and I always feel a little regretful."
He looked at the wise man who was handling the food on the plate in a somewhat clumsy posture, and laughed inadvertently.
"I want to go to the beach with Akechi."
"what?"
"Have you ever been to the beach?"
"I've seen the sea, but I haven't been there..." On the way to and from relatives' homes, I passed by the sea, and I could see a large dark coast from the car window.Although the classmates in the summer vacation class will discuss going to the beach every year, but he has never joined in it.He wasn't interested in this topic at first, but seeing Niwa's excited face, he unconsciously imagined going to the beach with him to play.
"Let's go together next year."
Zhizhi couldn't say any words of rejection, and nodded slightly.Niwa then laughed and gave him some more food from his own plate, telling him to eat more.
While they were feasting, several ladies passed by their table, whispering just enough for them to hear:
"Oh... the children of this family, the parents are really big-hearted, let them come to this kind of place by themselves."
"Really, I really want to see what their parents look like."
Niwa raised his eyes and looked at Akechi who suddenly stopped moving.His long eyelashes drooped, and he looked like he was munching on something unpalatable.
"Don't pay attention to other people's words." Niwa said lightly.
"I didn't care..." Wise smiled a bit reluctantly, "I've always been here like this, and I'm used to being said that."
"About the parents?"
Sensei hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"May I ask? What kind of people are your parents?"
"Don't you know everything about me?" Wisely asked, "So what if you ask me these things now."
"I want to know everything about you." Niwa looked straight into his eyes.Wisely frowned, should this person be said to be cunning or innocent? He knew so many things he shouldn't know, but he still insisted on telling the answer himself.
"My mother was someone else's mistress and bore me foolishly and ended up being betrayed and raised me by herself until she died when I was 5 years old. She was a failure and a miserable fool .”
Niwa blinked and pondered for a while thoughtfully.
"Maybe, at that time, she thought that giving birth to this child was what she wanted to do most. Your mother gave birth to you in spite of the world's eyes, and she did it by her own will. Therefore, luck or misfortune may only be hers. Only then did I know."
"Who really wanted her to give birth to me?" Zhizhi's anger seemed to be ignited suddenly, "No one expected my arrival. In the eyes of relatives and people around me, I am just an unwanted child!"
Before he finished speaking, Akechi noticed the strange gazes from around him.He suppressed the words mixed with dirty emotions in his throat, calmed down for a while, and then slowly said sorry.Niwa shook his head and said it was okay, instead he moved closer to Akechi and looked at him seriously.
"Is that so?"
"?!"
"Not needed, no one expected you... I don't think so."
The black-haired boy's hand was close to his chin and cheek, just such physical contact made him tremble from the bottom of his heart.Because since he was born, no one came to help him when he was depressed and suffering.This man was the first to knock on his door so tenderly.
He looked away, not because of anything else, but because he was uncomfortable with such tenderness.If he could look at the other person squarely at this moment, he might be able to detect the pleading and uneasiness buried deep in his eyes.
"...I'm going to the bathroom."
He still subconsciously chose to escape.
What a gaffe.
Zhizhi scooped up a handful of water and tried to wake himself up. Thinking about it, it was still a public place, and it was incompatible with this kind of place, and he was provoked by that person so that he lost his usual calmness...
What are you doing? Being influenced by others doesn't look like me at all.
He stood in front of the mirror for a while, making sure that his expression had returned to calm, then turned and opened the door, but when he went out, he accidentally bumped into the oncoming man.
"Ah, sorry,"
"Tsk, why are there brats here?"
Zhizhi raised his head and looked at the other party. The person who came was a bald man wearing a suit and light-colored sunglasses. Although he did not often appear in the news, Zhizhi recognized who he was at a glance, and his expression froze immediately.
Sensing Akechi's gaze on him, the man gave him a suspicious look before turning and going into the bathroom.Wisely stood outside the door, while his heart was beating fast, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
——This is the man.
It was him, the chief culprit who made his mother and himself so miserable.
"Sensible? Are you all right?"
A familiar voice brought him back to his senses.He turned his head in panic, and Niwa stood behind him, looking at him inquiringly.
"I see that you haven't come back, and I'm worried that you are not feeling well What's the matter, your face is very bad."
"I'm fine..."
"It's not all right, hey, wise!"
Niwa trotted a few steps to catch up with Akechi and grabbed him, seeing his look of boredom and disgust, he asked with concern: "What happened?"
"It's none of your business."
"How can it be okay? We are friends."
"It's so annoying! Don't pretend to be a friend to meddle in your own business!"
Akechi opened his hand with a roar, and then the air suddenly became quiet, Niwa stood there blankly, his mouth half-opened, and then closed silently.
Sensible realized he was overreacting.He must have felt inexplicable to be treated like this when he did nothing.Just being stared at by him like this made Zhizhi feel a dull pain in his heart.
—I pushed away people who could have been friends again.
However, he must not be allowed to know about that man.If he knew, what would he think of himself?
Zhizhi glanced at him hastily, turned around and left quickly without looking back.This time, no one came to hold him back.
After confirming that he has not received any new messages, Zhizhi reluctantly threw the phone beside the pillow, put his hands on his face and groaned softly.
It's the third day.After the unhappy breakup that day, Niwa never sent him any news.
For a long time, it was Niwa who took the initiative to contact him, and the number of times he took the initiative can be counted on the palm of one hand.This time, he was the one who made unreasonable troubles first, no matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't stand it.But you have to take the initiative to admit your mistakes. You are wise and can't bear this face. Every time you look at your phone and hesitate for a long time, you end up giving up.
——What, that guy, are you still angry?As long as he took the initiative to talk to me, I would be able to say that sorry.
After all, why do I have to worry so much about that kind of person? !
Whispering these nonsensical words back and forth in his heart, while blaming the person who failed to succumb actively, Zhizhi fell into a deep self-loathing.
"You are only a top student in your grades, who would be friends with someone like you. 』
The news that he got the recommendation qualification reached the ears of those students who had bullied him. They laughed at him contemptuously, but they dared not do anything to him again - this was also thanks to Niwa Sakuya.
At that time, he could ignore the trash talk without changing his face, but only then did he realize that maybe except for Shuo Ye, no one really wants to be friends with him.
"……hateful……"
I grabbed the phone and opened the chat app, clicked on the familiar avatar, tried to input "Are you there", deleted it, and then re-typed "Are you awake, I'm so sorry that day", and deleted it again.
Ah - it can't be done at all!By the way, what kind of dialogue is this? It's almost like female middle school students quarreling and reconciling.
It's too pitiful for a human being who can't even do such a trivial thing, Goro Akechi.
...Am I being abandoned again?
Thinking of this, wise eyes became dim.
No, no, don't think about him.Compared to him, that person - Shitong Zhengyi, was finally found by me.
I saw that man in my mother's photo album, only one photo.He probably didn't know anything about the fact that the mistress he had been with for a short time gave birth to a son for him, and even if he knew, he would not care about the other party's life or death.A hypocritical cold-blooded bastard.
The loneliness and pain experienced by my mother and myself must be tasted by each other.
Let him see hell in his own eyes.Absolutely cannot let him go.
As long as I can get revenge on that man, even if I become Shura, I am willing.
At this time, the phone beeped.
Zhizhi thought it was information, and immediately got up and turned on the phone, only to find that there was an icon on the interface that he had no impression of.It was an APP with a weird red background and a black eye.
What's this?I have no impression of downloading it, so it must be a virus.
Wisely frowned, and decisively deleted the unfamiliar app.It seemed that it was impossible to get news from that person tonight. With complicated thoughts, he closed his eyes, as if being dragged into sleep by a hand.
"...Do you need strength..."
--Who?
"This world is hopeless, full of selfish people, fighting with each other, drifting with the tide... Everyone lives in their own cage, and no one here understands you, and no one gives you a helping hand."
— shut up... shut up...
"Do you want revenge? To the world that made you so miserable."
--I……
"wise!"
The familiar voice was like a ray of light piercing the darkness.He stood in the prison-like abyss, hearing the sound and watching.
A black shadow appeared as if stepping on the moon. It was the first time I had seen the vigorous and vigorous posture, but it felt familiar.
He thought he knew the figure.
>>>
"Miss Yishi, that child is here again."
"Again? What's the matter with him? I'm busy and don't have time to play with the children."
Isshiki Ruoye frowned, and waved her hand to ask the assistant to send the visitor away.The assistant complied resentfully, and came back a moment later to say that the child seemed to insist on seeing Isshiki Wakaba himself.
"I really don't give up..."
"That's right, you know Miss Isshiki doesn't even have time to accompany Futaba, how can she have time to accompany other children."
"Shut up for me too."
Isshiki Wakaba glared at the assistant threateningly, finally stood up from the computer, walked out of the research room, and saw the black-haired boy who had been coming to the door three days ago at the front desk and asked to see him tirelessly.Seeing Luo Ye, the boy in school uniform saluted her politely.He looks like a middle school student, probably not a few years older than Futaba.
"Is that you, always clamoring to see me?"
"Nice to meet, Isshiki-san, I'm Niwa Sakuya. It's great to meet you."
Niwa smiled sincerely at the female researcher who had long since died in his memory, but was still alive and well in front of him at this moment.
"Cognition? How do you know the term?"
Isshiki Wakaba stared at the strange boy seriously.
"Because I have seen the cognitive world with my own eyes."
"...Impossible. Cognitive science is still only theoretical research, and I haven't published it at all. This project is still top secret. How could you know?"
"It's also difficult for me to explain to you. I can only say that I have been in it and seen the distorted cognition of people in reality."
At this moment, Niwa's cell phone rang, he glanced at it and pressed it, and continued: "Miss Isshiki, I came this time to warn you: your research will have a major impact on the world, and In the near future, villains will be eyeing this research and do things that will harm you and your family."
Isshiki Wakaba smiled in disbelief. "Of course I know how influential my research will be, but you said that someone is eyeing my research. How can I believe such baseless words?"
"I really don't have evidence at the moment, but what I said is true." Niwa stared at her closely, "For your safety, I suggest you pay more attention to suspicious people around you."
"Like you?" Yishi Ruoye lost her patience, stood up and was about to leave, "I'm sorry I really don't have time to listen to these nonsense, you know, research is very important to this world."
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, Miss Isshiki." Niwa stopped her, "But please believe in Futaba, please...spend more time with her."
"Oh, Luo Ye, you are here."
"Sojirou, are you here today?"
"What's the matter, it seems to be sullen... huh? How can there be children here?"
Sakura Sojiro, who came to deliver the documents, caught a glimpse of the black-haired boy coming out of the conference room. The latter also saw him and nodded at him with a smile.Yishi Ruoye pulled him to the research room, frowning: "Strange boy, he seems to know about the research, and also about me and Futaba."
"This... who is he?"
"I don't know.... Sojiro, you may need to take care of Futaba more recently."
"Where is it, haven't I been taking care of it all the time? Don't worry, but don't wear yourself out, take care of Futaba more."
"How did you say the same thing as that kid just now? I know..."
After walking out of the research institute, Niwa remembered the phone ringing in the conference room.He opened it and saw that it was wise information.
"Where have you been these days?"
This guy doesn't take the initiative easily, and asks difficult questions when he takes the initiative.Niwa smiled wryly, he is really a proud and not frank person.A few days ago, who thought he was meddling in his own business.
Throwing yourself away like last time, saying you're not angry would be a lie.He has been busy looking for the whereabouts of Yishi Ruoye these days, and he has no time to care about so much. On the other hand, he also hopes that Zhizhi will speak up by himself-if he keeps doing this, he will never see his true thoughts clearly.
"There's something wrong with the school. What's the matter?"
"...If you're busy, let's talk about it next time. 』
"Wait, do you have something to tell me?"
After a long time over there, the words "that day... sorry" came out.
Akechi Goro apologizes to people, that's a new thing.This was the first time among all the wise men he knew.
"I accept the apology. So what happened that day?"
"...It's nothing, it's really just uncomfortable. 』
Niwa frowned, no matter how patient he was, it didn't mean he could tolerate it infinitely.It's okay not to let him know that there are some things that he can't compromise.
"If you really want to apologize, at least you have to tell the truth first. This kind of sincerity should be there, right?"
He typed this message and sent it, then pressed the phone and stuffed it into his pocket, heading for another destination.
Zhizhi stared at the last sentence for a full 2 minutes before he was so angry that he dropped his phone on the bed.
What is "this bit of sincerity"?Who does he think he is?How determined did he think I was to take the initiative to send a message to apologize? !Too much for this guy.He was also the one who said he wanted to be friends at the beginning, but now he is inexplicably neglecting himself.
Goro Akechi, who had never shown weakness to anyone since he was a child, gritted his teeth and beat the pillow several times, and fell powerlessly on the bed.
What is this feeling that people cannot ignore.
Why can't you calm down when it comes to that person?As if being controlled by someone physically and mentally, I really want to get rid of this bad state.
But how to tell him the truth.Shitong can't tell him about justice anyway, so what if he knows?If he knew that he wanted revenge on someone, he would definitely not agree.
Zhizhi closed his eyes, and the caring face of that person appeared in his mind, imagining his hands pressed against his chin and cheeks like that day, warm physical contact.No one had ever done that to him, not even his mother who died young.No one has ever loved him, and no one really wants to understand Goro Akechi's mind, his past, and his incompleteness.
Only Niwa Sakuya said that he would be his first friend.Zhizhi doesn't want to admit that he actually cherishes his relationship with him more than he imagined.
What would you say if...if you saw him.
He saw the man's slightly forward shoulders, smooth neckline, and curly shiny black hair.But he turned his back to himself, and put his hands in the pockets of the school uniform, which didn't seem to be the school uniform.Confused and joyful in his heart, he called his name behind him.The black eyes matching his name looked at him, and he was wearing glasses, which didn't look like him at all.
He asked how you became like this, but that person just responded silently, until the surprise in his heart turned into anxiety, and the inquiry turned into screaming, but from the beginning to the end, the other party just looked at him with almost pity, and the eyes behind the lens were indifferent strangeness.
In the next second, he grabbed the man's neck fiercely with a strength that surprised him.The nails sank into the flesh, and the ambiguous and wet blood snaked down from the neck, and the white collar gradually turned red.don't want.don't want.don't want.I don't want this.You look at me.I don't want to kill you.He spat out these words unconsciously, but the black-haired boy in front of him grinned and gave him a distorted smile.
No, no, that's not what I want.Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, ah, ah, ah——
Blood rained down, and he knelt and stared hopelessly into the void, bathed in the blood of friends he had killed.He looked down at his trembling hands, sobbing out of tune.
Why...became like this...
——In fact, you are not needed by him, but you are afraid.
The phantasmagoric person in front of him—no, I should say something like that—was shrouded in an ominous dark atmosphere, but he seemed to be imprisoned by chains, and he was only bewitching the boy in front of him with his voice.
Who are you……?
Zhizhi sat in the darkness, looking at the vision in front of him in a daze.
——I know your hatred and pain.The person you miss, does he really like you?If he really cares about you, why is he so indifferent to you?
He... no... he just because I wasn't telling the truth...
——In fact, you have always been acting affectionate, and he was just playing with you.Who will believe you when it turns out you've been hiding so many secrets.
No... No... He took the initiative to say that he wanted to be friends with me, and that he would go to the beach together next year...
--you are too naive.Are you really that important to him?Haven't you been hurt enough?When did you start trusting others too?
I, no, believe him...but...
——Wake up, Akechi Goro.You have been deceived for too long by the dreams he created.That kind of thing with friends is not for you at all.But you don't need to be afraid, haven't you always come here like this?
Zhizhi woke up suddenly in the dark night, and found that there was no shadow vision in front of him, only the dull and low ceiling reminded him of his location.
"It's a dream..."
He rested his hands on his eyes in desperation, and the warm liquid flowed out and wet his wrists.This surprised him, since he had cried very little since his mother's death.He must not let others see his weakness, he was so determined then, and he has been successful all these years.
Goro Akechi, what are you thinking about making such an embarrassing look for a boy whom he has only known for a few months!Nothing like you.
He clenched his fist tightly, and the nails left bloodstains on the palm of his hand. The feeling reminded him of the scene in his dream, and the feeling of killing someone was still lingering.He suddenly felt nausea in his stomach, turned over and covered his mouth and retched.
"It was just a dream..."
He convinced himself while taking a deep breath, his mouth was bitter like drinking black coffee.He couldn't imagine that he would kill that person with his own hands.After all, it was just a tantrum between friends, so why kill him?Even if it was Shi Tong Zhengyi whom he hated to the bone, he never thought of killing him.
No, I can't think about it, it's just a dream.
With trembling arms in his arms, Akechi lay down on the bed again and tried to get rid of unnecessary thoughts.He remembered that night, when Shuo Ye slept here, he said that he liked himself, the kind of like a friend.
He said, please believe me.
Zhizhi turned his body sideways, staring at the empty floor for a long time, an indescribable anguish suddenly enveloped his heart.
It’s good to be familiar with emptiness; it’s good to get used to loneliness—he used to think that it would be good.But the appearance of that person made his gray-toned life brighter, but without him, the world quickly withered.
If even he doesn't need me.
Then who else needs me?
After school the next day, Akechi came to the flower shop where he worked part-time. While chatting, the manager of the flower shop told him that Niwa had been here not long ago.
"He... is my friend here for something?" Zhi Zhi asked, a little hope "maybe he came to look for me" ignited in his heart.
"Hmm~ He bought a bouquet of roses, and I asked him who he was giving it to, and he said it was for women~ Oh, you have a girlfriend at such a young age, are all middle school students so bold now?"
Akechi shook his hand when he heard the news and dropped all the flowers in his hand to the ground.
"What's the matter? It's really not like you, wise man, I feel out of my mind today."
"No, nothing... sorry..."
Having said that, there are still turbulent waves in the wise mind - does that guy have a girlfriend? ?How come I never heard of it? ? ?
Zhizhi secretly clenched his fists in his heart—the image of that curly-haired bastard who had forgotten his friends with a certain girl swallowed his reason, and his emotions were like boiling magma, which could not be extinguished no matter what.
After working in the evening, Zhizhi walked into the Shibuya subway station to buy bread and juice for dinner. When the clerk handed him the juice, a familiar figure passed out of the corner of his eye.At that moment, he subconsciously hid in the dark, causing the clerk to cast a strange look at him.After making sure that the other party didn't notice him, he stuffed the dinner into his bag and followed quietly.
It's already 9 o'clock in the evening, what is this guy still hanging around here?Wisely kept his attention on the man ten meters away, followed him into the gate and got into the car, hid at the other end of the car, pretending to be reading the library book, while secretly looking at the boy on the other side.That was the culprit who had made him lose his mind these past few days.
But I didn't notice it so close... Could it be that I have the potential to be a detective?
Zhizhi laughed at himself while observing the other party's every move from time to time.And Niwa, who didn't notice it, just bowed his head and typed on the phone.Zhizhi quickly took out his mobile phone, but there was no message sent to himself.
He clicked his tongue angrily, and focused his attention on the other party again.At this moment, the train arrived at the station, and Niwa also followed the crowd out of the carriage. Akechi followed all the way and found that they were heading for the entertainment street in Shinjuku.
Only now did he realize that Niwa was not wearing a school uniform, and at the same time he was glad that he would change into casual clothes before going to work, at least he would not be so easy to be spotted by the police.He followed him through an intersection, and saw him stop in front of a fortune-telling booth, talking to the young woman sitting there, the blonde girl seemed to know him, the two chatted happily, and Niwa was unusually shy.To Zhizhi, this is quite unpleasant: this appearance, or this expression, has never appeared when he was with him.
After chatting with the fortune teller for about 10 minutes, Niwa said goodbye to her.Zhizhi, who was hiding in the dark, followed closely, all the way to the place where he also had an impression.The new male eldest sister's bar, which Niwa once brought himself to.
He watched the black-haired boy swaggering into the store, and secretly groaned in his heart.After all, he had been to the shop before, so it was impossible for him to follow in.In desperation, he had no choice but to choose a corner of the vending machine opposite the bar and wait.
What the hell am I doing... I'm so stupid...
Realizing that he was acting like a stalker, Akechi squatted down and slammed his forehead on his knees in embarrassment.Isn't this the same as Niwa back then?Speaking of which, he used to be my stalker... Really, this role reversal is too thorough...
Akechi was extremely frustrated that he would be reduced to being a stalker's stalker.What's even more frustrating is that I'm still squatting in this place waiting like an abandoned puppy.
Why do I have to be so self-abuse?If he doesn't care about me, why should I care about him?
Suddenly he was afraid of what he was about to see.This fear drove him to stand up, ready to leave here.At this moment, the door of the bar opened.Zhizhi stood in the dark and was able to see the person coming out of the door.
A short-haired woman who obviously drank a little too high, and Niwa Sakuya following behind.The woman who looked a bit like a reporter turned around and grabbed Niwa and said something to him. The latter stroked his hair with a wry smile, and was slapped heavily on the back twice by the woman laughing.Then the two walked towards the station together, Niwa helped each other from time to time on the way, so that she would not fall with her sloppy footsteps.
Akechi followed silently until they entered the station and separated.He didn't know how he got home, he only remembered meeting his relative who gave him a cold look, and hid in his hut, collapsed on the bed.
I am a fool.He actually believed that he really wanted to be friends with him.It never occurred to him what would happen if he got tired of himself.When you are extremely anxious, people are still dating girls as if nothing had happened.He and you are not from the same world, and everything is just your beautiful illusion.Because you never had friends and didn't know what a friend was; you longed for a friend and he took advantage of that, so you got scammed.
A man who never trusted anyone was lied to.Zhizhi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
——Not needed, no one expected your arrival... I don't think so.
It sounded so nice, but didn't you still betray me in the end?No one needs me, no one expects me.I am still alone.
—Have you finally looked at yourself?
It was that voice that seemed to have been heard somewhere before.Sensei raised his head and found himself in the quiet darkness.The black shadow in front of him who was chained kept changing its shape, uttering words of temptation to him.
——That's right, only you are reliable in this world, and others will betray you at some point.From childhood to adulthood, how many times you have been abandoned, you should be the most clear.
— so accept yourself, you who embrace the darkness.Think of what you have endured to this day.Are you still suppressing yourself?
...ah, that's right.I've had enough.
Akechi stood up shaking, clenched his fists and stood in the darkness.
Why should I believe in such an unreasonable world?Just destroy this world.Everyone is ignoring me, and since no one wants me, I don't need anyone else.Just take revenge on the man who was the culprit.As long as "Father" can recognize my existence and be defeated by me, nothing else is needed.
— Do you want "power"?Rebel against the blade of vengeance of this world.
The black shadow asked the question persuasively.Zhizhi thought of the bald man's contempt for him, and the cold eyes of his relatives... All these humiliations stemmed from the fact that he was still a weak child.He said to Sombra without hesitation:
I need strength.I want to change all that.I want to teach these indifferent adults with my own hands, and let them bow their heads in front of me.
--Oh well.Your anger, your determination, I will give you the ability to match it.
The black figure raised his hand, and Zhi Zhi felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and lowered his head to find that his heels were restrained by a formless black mist.Then the black mist wrapped around his wrists, waist, chest and neck.
Then Zhizhi realized that he had changed into a black attire, with a black helmet with horns on his head.The outfit looked ridiculous even without looking in the mirror, but he couldn't laugh.
Who are you?He looked at the shadow with some trepidation.Dark Shadow laughed.
——I am you, and you are me——
The black shadow announced that all the chains on his body were broken in an instant.The black shadow that had been liberated, the blackness on his body gradually faded, revealing his true colors.Akechi looked at the other person's appearance, his eyes widened.
It was a human figure painted with black and white stripes, its feet were in the shape of horseshoes, and two uncomfortable horns on its forehead, like the organs of a parasite.Although there was a sense of disgust that could not be watched, Akechi felt a kind of excitement that was almost desperate.
My heart turned out to be so ugly.
Akechi Goro is still alive, but his inner balance is going his own way and sinking into darkness.He killed the joy that was born when he met his first friend, and the consciousness awakened by Niwa Sakuya in just a few months, and let the poor prisoner die silently.
