You are already in a different world,
It will take two days to return to reality,
The dark night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky with endless thick ink.
In the old streets and alleys of the undeveloped J district of the town,
It was like a dark river whose depth could not be seen, winding in the thick darkness, as if something strange could jump out at any time,
It gave off a gloomy feeling.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps cut through the silence,
Under the faint starlight, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the end of the dirty alley.
It was probably because he ran too fast,
The sound of footsteps and heavy breathing intertwined and echoed in the alley. The people who were running in a panic kept looking back.
When they passed by the only street lamp in the alley, the appearance of the person was clearly exposed in the dim yellow light.
It was a tall and burly man,
He had a head of messy semi-long blond hair,
His facial features were rough. At this moment, his face was like a color palette, green and purple. He wore a silver earring on his left ear, a black white shirt, and tattered jeans,
Sneakers,
And a similarly tattered dark trench coat... he looked like an extremely sloppy beggar.
And this "beggar" was holding a bulging thing tightly in front of his chest, blocked by the trench coat,
It was impossible to see what it was.
Suddenly,
That ball moved a little.
A small hand grabbed the edge of the trench coat and pulled gently, and a small chestnut-colored head popped out.
"Daddy, stop and rest for a while!"
The child's voice with a smile came out. The man who was running for his life paused and stopped to look around. After making sure that those people had not chased him here for the time being, he carefully hid behind the trash can in front of him and put the child down.
"Huff huff... I'm so tired! F * ck, what kind of bad luck did I have today?! "
The tall man, who was sweating profusely, stared in the direction he came from and roughly wiped his sweat, cursing angrily in a low voice.
This man's name was Tokugawa Sen. He was thirty-six years old and was an ordinary man in the slums. He had no legitimate business and relied on gambling and part-time jobs to raise his twelve-year-old son, Tatara Tobunaga … At this time, he was being chased by people from the casino with his son.
Speaking of which, he was quite unlucky. After his part-time job ended today, he went to the newly opened casino next door and won two rounds. It was not much money and he did not even cheat. When he went to the washroom, he was stopped by the casino staff who said that they wanted to take him to meet someone. When he saw that something was wrong, he wanted to run away. He was caught and beaten up by the people of the casino. He risked his life to escape. Originally, he thought that he had shaken off the tail, but in the end, he just happened to bump into the thugs who were chasing after him near his house. What was even more unlucky was that he even ran into his son whom he had not seen for a long time.
He had no choice but to carry his son and flee in all directions like a mouse caught by a cat. He didn't know what was wrong with this group of people, but they looked like they wouldn't give up until they caught him. They chased after him desperately. Fortunately, he was familiar with this area, so he didn't get caught by running through the alleys.
Now that he was relaxed, Tokugawa Sen felt pain all over his body. F * ck, those thugs were too cruel. He felt that his ribs were broken. How could he fix it?!
Tatara Tobunaga stood obediently beside his father. He had a fair complexion and was different from his father who had slightly rough facial features. He looked very delicate and cute, especially his smiling eyes which were curved like crescent moons. Moreover, he was different from a certain someone who was sloppy. He was wearing a yellow t-shirt, brown cotton linen pants, and white sneakers. Although they were washed white, they were clean and fresh.
However, although he said that he was twelve years old, he was short and thin. His body was also very thin and dry, and there was not much flesh on his face. He looked no different from a child who was not even ten years old.
His rough little hand tugged at his father's windbreaker. When Tokugawa Sen lowered his head, the thin child said with a smile, "Dad, looks like you won a lot this time!" Usually, those people would not care about him if he lost or won a small amount.
"Win my ass!" Tokugawa Sen cursed angrily. When he saw that his son was still smiling under such circumstances, he squatted down and stared at him speechlessly. The corner of his mouth twitched, but it tore the wound on the corner of his mouth, causing him to grimace in pain.
Seeing this, Tatara reached out and touched his swollen face. He smiled and said, "Dad, you can go first after you've rested. I'll go back by myself later."
Tokugawa Sen thought for a moment. He was injured, and it was not easy to run away with a child. If they were caught, the brat would become a burden. Anyway, the other party was looking for him. Tatara was smart and did not show his face just now. As long as he was careful, he should be fine.
However, Tokugawa Sen was still a little worried. When he looked up and saw the unwavering smile on his son's face, all his worries and fears disappeared in an instant.
However, Tokugawa Sen suddenly noticed something else. After not seeing him for a few days, Tatara looked thinner and weaker. Under the moonlight, his face was as white as a ghost.
Poking Tatara's thin cheeks with his rough fingers, Tokugawa Sen scolded in a low voice, "You damned child, did you not eat properly again? Didn't I give you money last time … Wait a minute, did you go and buy some random stuff again? You little bastard, you wastrel! "
He did not understand at all how this child grew up. First, he had facial paralysis, the kind that always had a smile on his face. When he was happy, when he was unhappy, when he was bored, when he was interesting. No matter what, he would smile all the time. Sometimes, his smile would make Tokugawa Sen's heart tremble. Second, he had a fetish for three minutes of passion.
Ever since he was young, from sports to art, Tatara had loved everything. However, he never persisted. Every time Tokugawa Sen gave him money to eat, he would secretly … Oh, no, he would openly buy the things that he loved during that period of time. As a result, every time Tokugawa Sen moved, there would be a huge pile of things … Tokugawa Sen was so tired that his waist and back hurt!
Tokugawa Sen's fingertips were thick and calloused. It stung slightly when he poked Tatara's face, but Tatara did not care at all. He squinted his eyes and obediently tilted his head to admit, "I like it …"
"How can you talk about liking when you're hungry? Besides, I worked so hard to earn money, didn't I … "Tokugawa Sen thought of something and reacted. He stopped himself in time and slapped Tatara's head with the back of his hand. He said sarcastically," I think you have the life of a young master! It's just that you were picked up by someone like me. I'm so sorry! "
Tatara lowered his head slightly, still smiling innocently.
"I must have owed you in my previous life!" Tokugawa Sen mumbled. He looked around and rummaged in his trouser pocket. Finally, he took out a large pile of crumpled notes and stuffed it into Tang Mo's hand. He frowned and said, "Be careful. If I don't come back, go hide outside. You're not allowed to buy those toys of yours without eating. If you don't listen, I'll beat you up, okay?!"
The last sentence was vicious and menacing. Coupled with the pig's face, it really gave people a feeling of panic. However, Tatara did not feel anything at all. It was not that he had not been beaten when he was young, but he could not remember when it started. Every time his father said that, he never hit him again.
Footsteps ran past the alley. Tatara smiled and reached out to push him. "I know, hurry up and go! Don't get beaten to death! "
"Little bastard, don't you know how to say something nice?!" Tokugawa Sen rubbed his head fiercely, then looked at the thin T-shirt he was wearing. He quickly took off his windbreaker and threw it on Tang Mo's head. "Take it back and wash it. Don't drop it! I only have this one windbreaker! "
The windbreaker, which was mixed with the smell of tobacco, dust, blood, and rancid, completely blocked Tatara's vision. He only felt his head being pressed again. Then, the person in front of him ran quickly. The wind caused by the wind blew up the windbreaker that covered half of his face.
"Hey, a bunch of idiots. Come and chase me!"
Tokugawa Sen deliberately shouted profanities from the alley.
Under the windbreaker, her eyes flickered with a hint of emotion. Her smiling eyes were pulled into a straight line … cold and indifferent.
Tatara reached out and pulled the windbreaker, wrapping himself tightly behind the trash can. The dark night and the dark windbreaker were the best cover. Soon, he heard a group of urgent footsteps chasing after the first set of footsteps.
When all the sounds disappeared, he slowly stood up with the windbreaker wrapped around him.
The dark clouds in the sky had been blown away, revealing the bright moon and the bright stars. The moonlight spilled into the cold alley and elongated his small figure.
Holding the oversized windbreaker in his hand, Tatara reached out and touched the money he kept close to his body through the windbreaker. His usual smile appeared on his face, and he turned to walk in the direction of the small apartment.
However, just as he turned the corner, Duo Liang fiercely slammed into a meat wall. His overly thin body was directly knocked to the ground and rolled in a circle by the recoil.
However, the burly man who bumped into him only glanced at him and complained to the person next to him with slight anxiety and anger. "Damn it, is that Tokugawa Sen a monkey? He ran so fast! "
The few Xiao Luo next to him were sweating profusely and panting. One of them was also annoyed when he heard that. "That's right, going around and around, I'm dizzy. F * ck, I'm going to kill him when I catch him!"
"Slap!" The man who spoke first slapped him. "Is there shit in your head?! Boss told us to catch him alive! We're counting on him to make money! "
"Yes, yes, yes! Big brother, what should we do now? "
"What else can we do? Look for him again! If we can't report back, we'll all have to bear the consequences! "
Hearing the conversation, Tatara's heart skipped a beat. He forced himself to calm down and picked up the windbreaker that had fallen on the ground. He silently avoided them and walked forward. The moment he brushed past them, Tatara let out a sigh of relief.
However, suddenly, the back of his collar was grabbed by a pair of large hands, and his whole body was lifted into the air. The burly man who was called "big brother" looked at him with a fierce wolf-like expression under the moonlight.
"Brat, have you seen an injured man?"
Tatara's white and tender little face showed a frightened expression. He trembled as he said, "No, no."
The man also had a deep understanding of his child's appearance. Looking at the little boy who was as weak as a quail in his hand and shaking so much that he was about to shake, he curled his lips in disgust. He let go of his hand and directly let Tatara go into a free fall.
Tatara fell to the ground and his butt hurt. When he supported himself on the ground, he pressed on the glass shards on the ground. Immediately, he saw blood. He furrowed his brows in pain and groaned twice.
However, he did not dare to delay. He quickly got up, picked up the windbreaker that had fallen on the ground, and turned to run. He vividly portrayed a scared child.
However —
"Stop!"
Tatara's body stiffened.
"The clothes in your arms look very familiar, brat."
It was as if a voice from hell was summoning him.
Those things were carefully prepared by Cheng Ye before she fell into a terminal illness. Every gift was filled with her love and blessings for the Fu Mourning God. However, she did not know how to give them to them. Therefore, she sealed them with her spiritual power and wrote that note for her successor.
However, Cheng Ye never expected that the Five Tigers Retreat would discover the "will" that she had specially placed in the document for her successor. She had even accidentally left it in the corner of the kitchen … Thus, it was picked up by Reiko and raised her suspicions.
Inside the house, the Five Tigers Retreat's dry eyes were once again filled with tears. Of course, he understood what she said. It was precisely because he understood how good his My Lord was that he could not bear to part with her.
"Boohoo … I don't want to listen … I don't want to listen …"
The hoarse sobs sounded like the sound of a carpenter sawing wood. It was filled with helplessness and sorrow.
Reiko's amber eyes dimmed a little. She lowered her gaze and looked at the group of little tigers that were staring at the door. She sighed helplessly. "Alright, food … you should eat more. The little tigers are very worried about you."
After speaking, Reiko bent down and picked up the little tigers that did not want to leave one by one. The little tigers were all listless and looked very pitiful.
Reiko was about to turn around when she heard the sound of stumbling footsteps. She was instantly delighted. Sure enough, the next moment, the door opened with a "whoosh". The Five Tigers Retreat grabbed her clothes with red eyes and asked hopefully, "My Lord, I heard from Fox's Assistance that you, you came from hell, right?"
Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, the smile on Reiko's face froze. The joy in her eyes quickly faded. She was silent for a while before replying, "Yes, I was originally a dead person from hell."
The Five Tigers Retreat's eyes suddenly lit up. He asked eagerly, "Then can you help me look for My Lord? I want to know if she's doing well and if she misses us. Since a dead person can also become a God's Inquisitor, then can she come back … "
"She won't come back." Reiko interrupted his questioning and shattered his beautiful dream once again.
The Five Tigers Retreat's face turned pale, but he continued to ask, "Why? You can even … "
Lingzi opened her mouth. When she saw his hopeful eyes, she tried her best to suppress the cruelty that surged up to her throat. She turned her head to the other side and said in a low voice, "As far as I know, her soul has been reincarnated not long after she died."
"I don't believe it! She couldn't let go of This Pill. How could she reincarnate just like that?! "
As the Five Tigers Retreat screamed, Reiko stumbled and almost fell. She even squeezed the little tiger in her arms. The expression on Reiko's face completely collapsed. "Don't you know whether she let go of the pill or not?"
The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned. Yes, she had arranged all the funeral arrangements, including their daily necessities after she left. Her diary said that the Government of the Hour would choose a powerful God's Inquisitor to succeed them after she left.
She believed that they would live well, so although she was reluctant to leave, she was completely relieved and didn't miss them.
"I don't believe it … I don't believe it …" The Five Tigers Retreat covered their eyes and began to cry again.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not!"
Seeing him escape from reality and refuse to come out, Lingzi had a feeling of exasperation at his failure to live up to her expectations. She was so angry that she turned around and left right after she finished speaking. Her straightforward back view made Five Tigers feel as if their hearts and minds were torn apart.
Was she going to leave too? Did she not want him anymore? Don't … Don't … Don't leave him alone … Don't let him face the endless darkness alone … Don't …
The surging tears kept flowing, and the thick mist completely blurred his vision. The Five Tigers Retreat's legs went weak and he fell to the ground in a sorry state. In the end, he hung his head in resignation, hugged his knees with both hands, and cried silently.
This was his own choice, but his heart still hurt …
