[Comprehensive Manga] Ann

It seemed that the sound of blood flowing could be heard, layer by layer, spreading to the boy's feet.The young man raised his head slowly, stepped on the bloody steps, and then walked towards the man.

The whole world became blood-red, and the fragile gap that had never been opened was finally destroyed at this moment.

Those, the missing humans in this world.

Really, is it just a conspiracy by the demons in this world?

Really, just missing?

"Really, I can't let you leave my sight for a while."

Theodore jumped down from the corpse, and then stood in front of the purple-haired boy with his blood-red eyes squinted. Then he stretched out his hand and directly strangled the boy's throat. The completely soaked blood on the black gloves was stained. The neck of the purple-haired boy, the boy didn't struggle but just looked at Theodore quietly.

"As long as you can't see me, will you just forget me and automatically play the role of your body?"

There was a wanton and weird smile on the corner of Theodore's mouth, and the hand holding the boy's throat gradually tightened, watching the boy's blushing face and vaguely painful expression with satisfaction.

"I really want to smash your body into pieces, so you won't be able to go anywhere, right?"

Theodore leaned against the purple-haired boy's ear and said affectionately, nibbling the boy's earlobe until the blood seeped out from the skin, and then Theodore let go of his hand slowly.The purple-haired boy sat limply on the ground, and then instinctively coughed violently. The clean school uniform on his body was completely stained with bright red blood.

"Ah, the master looks so pitiful now."

Theodore squatted down, teasing and contemptuously looking at the purple-haired boy's distressed appearance, then stretched out his hand to grab the boy's jaw, forcing the boy to look into his blood-red eyes.

"By the way, I forgot one very important thing. Masato Ezaki, he likes Rin Okumura, right? Then how about I kill Rin Okumura now?"

Theodore was still smiling, with blood on his face, blood-red eyes, and blood-stained silver hair, as if he was completely crazy to the point of paranoia.I don't know if it's like this now or it's always been like this, but it's just that the hiding place is too perfect.

"No matter what it is, as long as it obstructs the sight of me and the master, ah, please die."

Ezaki Masato raised his head to see Theodore's expression, frowned slightly, and then called Theodore's name in a hoarse voice.

"No, I'm very irritable now, so I don't allow the master to say anything against me, otherwise, if I accidentally kill you, I will feel very troubled."

Theodore made a sound-silencing gesture, but the slightly squinted blood pupils could tell that the devil was completely serious when he said this sentence, and the paranoid madness that had penetrated into the blood was full at this moment. manifested.

After all...

Still a devil.

No matter how caressing and reckless he pretended to be on weekdays, the inescapable nature of the dark soul was always lurking there.When the taboo of the devil is touched, it will be regarded as an intolerable violation.

And the devil's taboo, for Theodore, there is only one thing left.

"How about this, master, how about playing a small human game with me? I ask the master a question, and after the master answers me, how about I answer the master's question too?"

Theodore's mouth curled into a wanton smile, and then he picked up the boy who was sitting on the ground, slowly climbed up the steps, and sat beside the altar.

"Well, Shire asked the master what you want, but the master didn't answer. I said, as long as it is what the master wants, no matter what it is, I can achieve it for you. So now I can know the answer ?”

Theodore licked his lips, and didn't care at all that the boy started asking questions without agreeing to start the game. The silver-haired man raised his eyebrows and looked at the pale boy, but there was no curiosity in his green pupils.

"You know what I want."

The young man smiled, and then moved his gaze from Theodore's body to the corpses piled up in front of him. The blood was spreading, and the rust-like smell of blood filled the tip of his nose, making him want to vomit.

"What a cunning answer, then the owner asked me a question."

There was some ridicule in Theodor's voice, the man smiled and fixed his eyes on the boy who was looking at the corpse, as if he wanted to see more hidden things from the boy's expression.

Suddenly the whole world seemed to fall silent.

The boy slowly turned his head to look at Theodore, but didn't speak, as if he didn't know what questions to ask.

If you don't ask, it may be because you know too much, or you want to ask too much, or you don't care.

"Do you... want to leave me?"

After being silent for a long time, the boy finally spoke. The hoarse voice floating in the air sounded unreal, and the boy's cold expression was also a little illusory. Seeing any real affection is like a robot's set inquiry.

"Is the master joking? How could I be willing to leave the master?"

Theodore narrowed his eyes, and immediately denied it with a smile.

"The second question, I really want to know who does the master's soul belong to?"

No matter what he did, his soul would never open to me.It's like being branded with another person's exclusive brand, or in other words, like everyone is stuffed into a chessboard with a fixed name "Fate", but he has never been able to know who this chess player is, Like a small, ignorant devil in a cage.

"Probably, it's God."

The boy said the answer casually, a ridiculous answer, but perhaps unexpectedly serious.

"god?"

Theodore repeated it, with a look of disbelief on his face, and then started laughing wildly, trembling as if he had heard something very funny.

In this world, is there really such a ridiculous thing as God?Playing with everyone's applause, arranging all the destinies boringly, and then watching those human beings who are not even as good as ants struggling?This is such a ridiculous joke!

"If that's the case, why didn't God come to save you? Or—is this God's punishment?"

Theodore smiled sarcastically, stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the boy's chin, but a more intense storm seemed to be sweeping through his blood-red pupils.

"Maybe it's a boring game?"

The boy's body was forced to lean forward, looking at the devil's red pupils, the purple eyes were filled with the same contempt and self-mockery.

It's just a game.

Whether it is for a god or a boy, it may be nothing more than a trivial game.

——It is God's disregard to treat life as a toy.

"Do you want to leave me?"

The boy asked the question again.

"Hehe, the game is not over yet, how could I quit early, let alone the outcome of this game has not yet been decided, master."

Theodore sneered, and the hand that grabbed the boy's jaw moved down slowly and stroked the artery in the boy's neck.Erosion and darkness are entwined together, but it seems that more crazy and paranoid gloom is surging.

"Where is God?"

"You can't find him."

"Then the master is willing to be tricked like this, wow, how many years, how many centuries? Maybe the master himself can't remember clearly."

"I'm used to it, I'm used to the pain all the time."

As the boy spoke, there was no wave in his eyes, and Theodore realized that his nails had broken through the white gloves just now, and part of them had pierced into the boy's neck. A stark contrast.

Theodore's gaze became bloody and murderous when it touched the wound on the boy's neck. If he brutally tore off the boy's head, wouldn't it satisfy his current angry mood a little bit?

However, even if he bites off his neck, he still can't find real relief.

Theodore glanced at his black gloves, the red under his eyes gradually faded, and then moved his hand away, but his hand was suddenly grabbed hard.The boy was grabbing the devil's hand, and the devil wanted to stretch it back, but found that the boy was holding his hand with extra strength. When he looked into the boy's eyes, the devil paused.

The boy took off the blood-stained gloves. This devil who likes to gnaw fingernails doesn't know from which world he started wearing black gloves.

And underneath the glove, no, under all the camouflage, was the body that had begun to rot.

The man's hand could no longer be called a hand. It was covered with dark green scales, but it was not smooth, and blue veins could be seen on the uneven ground.The young man ignored the bleeding neck, and directly untied the man's clothes. The formerly fair skin was covered with dark green scales in pieces, and the pattern on the chest that the young man once drew could no longer be seen from its original appearance. , just a few faint imprints on the scales.

What are these?

Maybe it's the restriction of time and space,

Maybe it's the law of fate,

Or maybe it's just pure—God's punishment.

"Theodore, tell me, after a while, will you turn into a monster covered in scales, or will the scales fall off little by little in the end, and finally turn into a pile of rotting flesh with a foul smell. Then—" The young man was expressionless, just indifferent, even his eyes were empty without any fluctuation, but the most cruel words came out of his mouth:

"The game is over."

"The master will be sad for me?"

"If you want."

"Master, do you know? Body decay is really a painful thing. The skin on the hands begins to rot inch by inch from the inside to the outside. Ah, it's hard to understand. But the pain drives me crazy. , and then I seem to have accidentally killed a lot of people, probably whoever I saw. However, neither the blood nor the screams seemed to give me any comfort, and I still wanted to ruin the whole world."

But no matter how painful it is, it can't compare to watching the boy die in front of him time and time again, but there is nothing he can do about it.Crazy want to destroy him, destroy his belief, destroy all the places he can leave, so that he can never escape, and can only stay by my side forever with the shackles of the devil.

The kind of pain that erodes the heart a little bit is more unbearable than the physical pain.

"Do you want to leave me?"

This is the third time the boy asked this question, the same question, over and over again, but he didn't know what answer the boy wanted.

"pain."

Theodore smiled and said a word, but did not answer the boy's question.

He clearly said it was painful, but the corner of the devil's mouth was raised, with a beautiful arc;

He was obviously smiling, but in those blood-red eyes, only the young man was left, with obsessive madness;

It was clearly a painful body that was rotting, but the demon grabbed the chest with his hands.

The silver-haired man then stretched out his hand to caress the boy's face. It was so cold that it seemed that there was no warmth at all. The monster-like hand gently caressed the boy's cheek. The boy's pupils reflected that he was indeed so unbearable and ugly.

The gorgeous blood-stained silver hair fell down beautifully and naturally, and the blood-red eyes just looked at the young man intently, but with suffocating despair.Theodore suddenly hugged the boy's body tightly without leaving a gap. Such strength seemed to make people unable to breathe, and then the demon whispered in the boy's ear:

"I won't let go. I must destroy you, Ann."

The boy didn't answer, but when he heard the name An, his eyes flickered.

This was the first time Theodore called him by that name—Ann.

"I order you, from today on, you are not allowed to kill anyone."

The boy whispered in Theodore's ear, and then stood up suddenly. The devil's imprint that had almost disappeared on the back of the boy's neck trembled and gave off the last faint light, proving the little ambiguity left between the boy and the devil. soul bondage.

"Don't kill anyone, except—me."

Theodore raised his head slightly, but felt that his sight was occupied by blood stains, and he couldn't even see the boy's expression clearly, but the pain in his body was a little more intense. The devil who was so embarrassed could only use killing and Blood to anesthetize the extremely painful body and fill the increasingly crazy emptiness in the heart.

The sudden tiredness made the devil have no energy to stand up again, just sat there quietly, watching the boy slowly leave him step by step, and then watched the boy walk down the steps.

little by little until

——I couldn’t see the figure of that boy at all.

"Again, that's it."

The man leaning against the wall said, his head tilted slightly to one side, watching the back of the boy leaving.

"every time……"

The curvature of the man's mouth gradually disappeared, and the blood red in those eyes gradually receded, leaving only a hollow and desolate dark green.

"Every time you forget to take me away."
