Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 264 Father and Brother (Part 2)
Based on the attitude that all supernatural powers are related to the mystery of the dragon clan, the information was quickly summarized to the Japanese Enforcement Bureau, which determined that this was a male Deadpool because it only attacked girls, and male Deadpools often have violent desires for the opposite sex.
This year, Gen Chisheng had just joined the Executive Bureau and was the youngest executive officer. He would go to Kassel College for further studies after the summer. The Executive Bureau always gave priority to locals when sending out missions. Gen Chisheng was from Kadori and was familiar with the town, so as his first mission, he was sent to the mountains to solve it alone as a test for him. On the day before he left, Tachibana Masamune, as the head of the family, handed the Spider Cutter to him to express his blessing for the young man's first mission.
On the Shinkansen train, Gen Chisei read the complete list of missing persons. Looking at those familiar names, he unconsciously clenched his knuckles, pinching the edges of the paper into wrinkles.
This feeling was like seeing the list of martyrs after a major earthquake. He knew every name because there was only one primary school and one middle school in the town, and everyone was his classmate. Yuan Zhisheng briefly liked a few of them, and a few girls also briefly liked Yuan Zhisheng, and would watch him play basketball and cheer for him at the basketball court. But at that time, Yuan Zhisheng rejected them because he had a younger brother to take care of, and he had no money to talk about love.
But this does not mean that he will forget that the feelings of youth are the most sincere and pure. It has nothing to do with the future or bread. One can fall in love with someone just because of a certain word or a certain thing.
Yuan Zhisheng remembered the love letter handed to him under the cherry tree. It had the scent of her perfume and a pink ribbon, and was sealed with a cherry blossom. She was so shy that she didn't even dare to look up at him, but she still tried to put the love letter in his hand and turned to run away. Her hair was rising and falling, and her skirt was fluttering. It seemed that the fragrance of her hair was still in the air for a long time. To this day, the love letter is still in his drawer as a souvenir, but now she is also on this damn list.
This was like an opportunity tailor-made for friends of justice. Gen Chisheng had enough reasons to kill Deadpool in rage and hatred. Just like the heroes in the movie, the real Japanese samurai, the daimyo who owned the castle tower would impulsively start a war for a woman, and of course he, Gen Chisheng, could do it too.
No one knew that the child from that year had returned. It was already sunset when they passed through the countryside. Yuan Zhisheng walked into the most familiar convenience store, following his long shadow. A few years ago, he worked for an old lady here. She was one of the few people who could help the poor brothers. The old lady's daughter was sitting in the store now. The old lady leaned on the recliner and stared at the ceiling with a dull look in her eyes. Occasionally, white foam oozed from the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she could no longer recognize the child she once had. Even kind people could not escape the disease and time.
He passed by his adoptive father's house again. He was taller than his father now, so the man would definitely not be his match in a fight. The front of his adoptive father's house was overgrown with weeds, and the back of the house was full of abandoned furniture. It was obvious that no one had lived there for some time. With the lifestyle of an alcoholic man like that, he would either get drunk one day and fall into a ditch and die in the middle of the night, or he would go astray without a penny and be caught.
Yuan Zhisheng didn't care about these. He just climbed in from the backyard and used it as a temporary place to stay. He also took another look at the place where he used to live. Although it has been completely decorated as a girl's room now, with pink gauze curtains and pink mattresses, the table and windowsill are covered with dust, and it is no longer as clear as it used to be.
It seemed that everything was still the same as before, but many beautiful girls were gone. The girls on the death list were all the prettiest ones in their grade when they were in school. That bastard Deadpool seemed to be very picky about food.
There were chirping sounds coming from outside the door. Groups of girls were holding white lanterns and walking towards the Recruitment Shrine. They were all wearing white robes and red hakama, trainee shrine maidens, and wooden clogs. Standing in the fields, they could see the tall and wide torii gate of the Recruitment Shrine in the distance. That was their destination .
People who are busy always tend to forget the time. Yuan Zhisheng just remembered that today is the festival day of Kadori Shrine, which is also the most profitable and lively day in the town. Many girls will be sent to the mountains to learn traditional shrine culture. During this week, they will live like ancient shrine maidens and walk around the town with lanterns at night to pray for blessings.
This is undoubtedly bad news. For the safety of the town, the police were also dispatched to maintain order, but they were obviously no match for Deadpool. The increasing number of girls would only make Deadpool's prey everywhere. In this case, it was impossible for Genji to protect everyone's safety.
At night, a fine drizzle fell from the night sky. Yuan Zhisheng moved quietly between the beams, and the sounds of the trainee shrine maidens laughing and playing filled his ears. The girls from the city were not used to the silence of the mountains, and it was too early for them to go to bed. There were more than a dozen sets of futons on the tatami, and from the window panes, he could see the shadows grabbing pillows and throwing them at each other.
Whenever Yuan Zhisheng patrolled a room, he would lift up the tiles and peek into it. Although this might be considered as peeping into the homes of young girls, it was also for their safety. Even if he saw them changing clothes, Yuan Zhisheng would not avoid it. He was as calm as an old monk in meditation and did not covet the beauty of women in this world.
The witches in the room all gathered around a girl, clenching their fists and screaming excitedly. The girl was the tallest in the crowd. Although she was only the height of a child, her figure was as charming as an adult woman. She danced with a smile on her face, and her fingertips always swept across a girl's face intentionally or unintentionally. The girls she touched showed happy expressions and full of admiration, as if just doing this was a great honor.
The trainee witches held hands and danced around the girl. Although they had only learned it today, everyone imitated it very well. The red and white witch costumes were folded and danced, and the same steps rose and fell as if the whole house was going to join them in the carnival. The singing and dancing girl spun around and hugged one of the other girls. She held their waists and leaned over to kiss them. Every girl she kissed had a dazed look in her eyes, as if immersed in a deep dream.
Yuan Zhisheng couldn't bear to watch it any longer. This scene was too licentious, and it was too early for these young girls. But he couldn't help wanting to watch it any longer. It was as if there was a bug scratching in his heart. Even he couldn't explain why. He was obviously not the kind of person who would be tempted by such a lewd world.
The long kiss in the room seemed to last for a century. The girl hugged the other girl for a long time without letting go. Yuan Zhisheng suddenly noticed that the girl in his arms was trembling slightly, and cherry-red blood dripped from the corners of her mouth onto the tatami.
Screams resounded through the night sky. Not only Yuan Zhisheng, but also those crazy apprentice priestesses saw this scene. Some people found that there was something wrong with this long and deep kiss. The spider cutter was unsheathed and Yuan Zhisheng was about to break into the room, but the lights in the room suddenly went out. The whole room was filled with chaotic footsteps, the screams of girls, and the confusion of colliding with each other. People could not adapt to the instant change from daylight to darkness. They could not see their hands in front of them, and only a pair of red-gold pupils flashed in the fear of everyone.
That night, the town was full of police, whistles blew, and beams of light from their hands swept across the fields and woods, trying to find the missing girl. The police believed that the criminal was still not out of the area. But with Deadpool's power, he could move a living person much faster than they thought.
Yuan Zhisheng returned to his adoptive father's cabin and took his backpack. In the bag was a gift for his younger brother, a game console. He knew that Yuan Zhinu was diligent in her studies and had little time for entertainment. People always need to combine work and rest. When she was a child, Yuan Zhinu stood enviously in front of other people's houses and watched other children play Nintendo. Yuan Zhisheng has not forgotten this.
He came to the school, walked down the deep and winding corridors, and reached the deepest part. The place that used to be the equipment storage room was now abandoned. The gymnasium no longer needed those old things. The students of the new era could use the most advanced sports equipment like the children in the city. So after a little tidying up, the place was completely abandoned. The cost of maintenance was much higher than buying a new batch.
Unexpectedly, the floor was very clean, not as thick as expected, but the surrounding rooms were quite messy. On the way, Yuan Zhisheng saw the small room where he and Yuan Zhinu had stayed together. When he pushed open the door, the layout inside was still the same as before, and it was obvious that someone had specially cleaned it.
Logically speaking, such an unfortunate place would only carry bad memories, but on the table there were medals of excellence and notebooks placed side by side, one with Yuan Zhisheng's name on it, the other with Yuan Zhinu's. It was here that Yuan Zhisheng tutored Yuan Zhinu with her homework.
Yuan Zhisheng walked out of the room and continued to walk deeper. He did not turn on the light because someone had already turned it on for him. The missing girls stood on his left and right, wearing cute shrine maiden costumes. Their white skin had a strange waxy texture, but they could no longer breathe or speak.
He had heard of this horrifying process, plastination, which involves injecting liquid polymer into the corpse while it is still soft. After the polymer solidifies, the corpse will always retain its appearance as it did when alive.
This place has become a museum in a horror story, and the exhibits are these poor dead girls. Yuan Zhisheng walked all the way to the deepest part of the storage room. Someone was humming softly in the deepest part of the storage room. The song was lonely and soothing, and it was in Chinese. Because he was going to Kassel for further studies, Yuan Zhisheng had learned Chinese for a while. He didn't expect that this person had made such great progress without realizing it. Whether in knowledge or appearance, they have not exchanged current photos over the years.
Gen Chinu was fishing out a white human figure from the remodeled cement bathtub. It was the girl who had just died in the room. She was the prettiest of the trainee shrine maidens and had been simply treated. Gen Chinu changed her into clean clothes and imitated her shy expression when she was kissed by him. It was so pitiful and touching. Gen Chisheng never knew that his brother was such a talented actor. He seemed to have absorbed the girl's soul. The girl's usual posture was perfectly reproduced in Gen Chinu.
"Little girl." Yuan Zhisheng called him.
Yuan Zhinv, who was immersed in the performance, suddenly woke up and looked in the direction of Yuan Zhisheng with her golden eyes. She smiled, opened her arms and walked towards Yuan Zhisheng, intending to give him a reunion hug.
The Spider Blade pierced through his chest, and he didn't notice at all that Yuan Zhisheng was holding a sharp cold light in his hand.
No one in this world will forget the thing that killed them, just like Genjiro will never forget the appearance of Spider Cutlass in her life. She will even think of this scene when she dreams at night, as if the knife is always stuck in her chest.
He didn't blame his brother, because he knew that his brother was the messenger of justice. When he first saw Ultraman as a child, Gen Chino felt that the monster was beaten badly. It was just a product of human destruction of the environment and nuclear radiation. He did nothing wrong. He turned his head to look at Gen Chisei. Gen Chisei, who usually didn't have much expression, had shining eyes at that time. What he cared about was the brave and selfless Ultraman who could always defeat the evil little monsters.
Minamoto Chisei doesn't like the underworld, but for the sake of the distant future, he went to Tokyo without hesitation. From that moment on, he was no longer the young Minamoto Chisei. He became the young master of the Minamoto family, took on his own responsibilities, and returned from the prosperity of Tokyo to the tranquil Kadori, holding the demon-slaying blade in his hand, believing that he had an obligation to kill all the evil demons in the world like Ultraman.
But brother, do you know? There is no established justice and so-called evil in this world. There are only different perspectives on the same thing from different standpoints. You think you have been right all these years. Even when you are exhausted, you still rush to the most dangerous battlefield. It seems that all the world's affairs are on your shoulders. But when you kill me, are you willing to listen to me a little more? In my body live the bloodthirsty evil spirit and your brother Yuan Zhinu. Your justice makes you unswerving, but also blinds you and makes you unable to see what is behind the appearance.
I am a sinner, but sinners have their own way of living. Since I have fallen, I don't need to have as many concerns and responsibilities as you do. So compared to the messenger of justice, perhaps the free evil ghost will live more freely, without so much sadness and shackles, and just do whatever he wants.
Then let me shatter the darkness that you don't know about for you. It costs nothing for me.
Genji stopped in front of the elevator behind the airtight door, holding the handle of the Spider Cutter in her right hand.
"Young Master?" The captain of the guard was confused and turned to look at the executive director with a cold gaze.
"Give me your card." Yuan Zhinv whispered.
The captain of the guard handed the card to Minamoto no Chitose without any hesitation. He thought that the young master must not have the permission to enter Genji Heavy Industries after returning from the hardships, so he came in from underground. He must have considered hiding his identity and did not want the news of his return to be exposed.
But he hadn't considered that given Minamoto Chikase's status in the family, everyone who would come in and out of Minamoto Heavy Industries would know him. If it was the real Minamoto Chikase, given his personality, he could have walked through the gate openly. How could a great Amaterasu need to be afraid of anyone? Naturally, someone would come to greet him, and it could be Tachibana Masamune himself.
