Chapter 90 (Death: Corpse Eater)
Since the simple confession with Kisuke Urahara that day, Izawa has been able to come and go very freely, and he doesn't have to report anymore.
Winter Shilang's injuries are relatively serious, and at this time, Ichigo and the others infiltrated the corpse soul realm, and it is not suitable for him to go back as the captain of the patrol garrison, so he is still recuperating in the Urahara Kisuke store.
Although the Winter Lion will not recognize himself immediately, he still tries to avoid it until he is ready.
However, once again, Izawa lamented that his luck was bad.
Several trips, I actually encountered rainy days. With his lazy character, he doesn't bring an umbrella at all. So, once again hike like a fool in the rain.
As I passed by the bookstore, I heard a short-haired girl holding a book and exclaimed, "Wow, it's really raining." ”
Izawa rolled his eyes, he couldn't see anything good about the rain at all. Sweeping the umbrella in the girl's mother's hand, he pulled down his half-wet coat and hat, and secretly prayed that he would be able to return to the store before the clothes on his body were completely wet.
Perhaps his resentment was too strong, and the girl's mother tilted her head and her gaze fell on him accurately. Looking at his wet coat and the bandages between the collars, he smiled with concern: "Excuse me, are you alone? We still have an umbrella here, if you don't mind, please take it." ”
Only then did Ize, who carefully observed the mother and daughter, and found that they had abnormal powers. With a quiet smile on his face, he took the umbrella: "Thank you, are you going home?" If we might as well go in the same direction, we might as well return the umbrella to you." ”
Hinami, who was introverted by nature and didn't like to talk, nodded happily because he came out with his mother and bought a gift for his father: "Okay, where is the big brother's home, let's go together." ”
Seeing her daughter so happy, Ryoko Fuguchi patted her head gently, "It's rare for Hinami to be so happy, it's stuffy at home, we can accompany the big brother for a little longer." ”
"Good!"
It happened that they were going in the same direction, and the three of them were walking in the rain with laughter and laughter.
Hinami waved her arms and bounced back and forth despite the fact that it was still raining. Ryoko Fuguchi was infected by her daughter, and when she talked to Izawa, she was also in a good mood.
When passing by a clothing store, Ryoko Fuguchi didn't know what she saw in front of her, and her face suddenly changed. She reached out and grabbed the flute Hina, who was still running, and spoke faster: "Hinami, let's go back." ”
As he spoke, he ignored explaining to Izawa and turned around directly to pull back Hinami, who was still running and jumping.
Hinami Fuguchi, who was still immersed in pleasure, didn't react at all, and she asked suspiciously, "Mom, aren't you going to the next one?"
I was a little dissatisfied with my mother's sudden decision, and the last sentence couldn't help but be louder than before.
The crowd around them glanced at each other, and the two men in suits behind them looked at each other and followed with solemn faces.
Seeing these details in the slightest, Izawa was silent for a moment and walked quickly behind them.
The mother and daughter, who had already walked away, suddenly broke free from her mother's hand and ran over while calling her father. Seeing Fuguchi Hinami running into the crowd in a blink of an eye, Futaguchi Ryoko had no choice but to suppress the bad premonition in her heart and hurriedly catch up.
And Ize, who was not far behind them, ran into an acquaintance he had just met a few days ago.
"Long time no see, do you have a break today?" Izawa looked at Kaneki with a surprised look on his face in front of him and raised a happy smile.
Kaneki was surprised to meet Izawa in such a place in this weather, but seeing that the other party was obviously much better than the last time, he still smiled sincerely and said, "It's been a long time, your body is much better." ”
Izawa nodded, and stepped forward to join him, "Where are you going?" ”
Today, Jin Mu was obviously more relaxed, he pointed to the canvas bag on his body, and his face was happy, "I borrowed a few books and planned to return them, which is the bookstore on the north side of Jiangting Street." ”
didn't say whether it would go well or not, Izawa just chatted with Kaneki while walking.
"I've been thinking about what you said last time. Kaneki looked down at the water beach beneath his feet and brought up the topic without warning. He paused, as if pondering how to phrase "a sudden change, forcing yourself to make some choices and responses...... Well, I'm not very good at change, and I can't accept things that are new to me all at once. But everybody is telling me, give it a try, you don't have any other choice. At that time, I really felt excluded from the world. ”
The pouring rain rattled on the umbrella, and the boy's voice was indistinct. Izawa moved closer to Kaneki's side, feeling the other party tremble a little. I don't know if it's because of the weather, or because I'm too nervous about it.
"You said don't let the opportunity that appears, I'm wondering, isn't this an opportunity for me, but the beginning of a nightmare?" After saying this, Kaneki himself smiled bitterly and looked away, "I'm sorry, it's a bit abrupt to tell you, maybe I'm really a person who can't figure out what I want." ”
Izawa looked at Kaneki's rain-stained hair and lay on his forehead, thinking to himself that this person was really soft and temperless from the inside out, "It's better not to think about anything, just look at it, maybe you'll figure out what you want later." ”
"Huh?"
"Nothing is the same, and nothing should be the way it should be from start to finish. Izawa stretched out his hand and looked at the moistness of his palm, "Rain will turn into ice and snow in winter, it's not that it doesn't exist, it's just a different way." If you can't change it, it's better to try to watch from the sidelines, until you are moved, and you will be in the mood to try. ”
"Are you watching?" Jin Mu stared at the crowd, slightly distracted.
Seeing him thinking about his own thoughts, Izawa walked quietly with an umbrella and did not disturb.
The rain has no intention of stopping, and people are still moving through the rain with various purposes.
There is a red light ahead, and it is rare for there to be no traffic on the road.
"Bump!"
"Poof!"
"Ahh
Naturally, Izawa looked to the other side of the road, where the sound was coming from. The very familiar back is sitting on the wet ground, and his face can't be seen clearly with his head down.
Before he could remember where he had seen it, Kaneki had already run over and shouted "Hinami!"
It turned out to be the girl who had separated just now, Izawa thought about it and followed.
"Brother!" Hinami's eyes were full of tears, and when she saw Kaneki, her eyes lit up. "Mommy, Mommy, She'......"
"What's wrong, Hinami, what's wrong with your mother?"
Hinami panicked into Kaneki's arms, as if this was the only way to avoid the fear in her heart. She tugged at the placket of Kaneki's clothes, and she didn't even see Izawa who came with her, but kept saying, "Mom, save Mom!"
Following the direction Hinami pointed out, the two men held hands and ran, Izawa secretly following behind them.
I gradually felt a strange aura of power that was different from the previous Jin Mu and the girl.
Using the wall as cover, they turned their heads sideways and easily saw Hinami's mother and several men in black suits. Ryoko Futeguchi, who was originally gentle, sat on her knees with two pairs of huge butterfly wings stretched out behind her back. The two men opposite her, one with a strange whip-like weapon, one with a cylindrical hammer, and the others with a gun pointed at her.
However, Ryoko Fuguchi didn't care about the other party's malice at all, just stared at the long whip-like weapon and wept, still shouting "Husband!" in her mouth.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, this reaction is really exciting!" the white-haired man with the long whip waved the weapon in his hand fiercely, and slowly approached, "Fear, despair, hatred, I didn't expect such a disgusting miscellaneous thing to make so many expressions." ”
"Mom...... Hmm!" Hinami was about to pounce, but Kaneki covered her mouth and pulled her behind the wall. He took the time to sneak a glance at the scene in the alley, and trembled all over.
Those people, at a glance, knew that they were difficult to deal with.
"If it's a little bit of my kindness, let's just say my last words. The white-haired man spread his hands and joked, as if he didn't care about Ryoko Fuguchi's resistance, her life and death were already a foregone conclusion.
Ryoko Fuguchi bit her lower lip and looked at the whip sadly without speaking, her face wet with rain or tears. She looked up and moved her lips, but she still couldn't speak.
But the white-haired man, apparently running out of patience, waved his long whip and said excitedly and indifferently, "It's all over." ”
Kaneki struggled to keep himself from making a sound, and with all the strength in his body, he raised his hand to cover Hinami's eyes. There is nothing he can do to stop this tragedy, and he can only let Hinami avoid the moment when his mother is killed.
Hinami's eyes and mouth were covered, and she whimpered, unable to break free, only to let it be dark in front of her.
The rain never lightened, but there was more and more blood on the ground, which could not be washed away.
Kaneki watched Ryoko Fuguchi being killed by the white-haired man, but he could only tremble in the shadows, not even having the strength to remove his hand from Hinami's face, until the other party cut off Ryoko Fuguchi's Kohek and turned to leave.
Sure that the other party would not come back, Kaneki felt relaxed and almost sat back on the ground. Hinami lost her restraints, and in the blink of an eye, she ran to Ryoko Fuguchi's corpse and cried loudly.
Kaneki took a deep breath and ran to Hinami's side to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say. A shadow slowly moved next to him, and his eyes widened and he almost screamed, only to turn around to find that it was Izawa.
As soon as he put his mind at ease, he frowned, looked at Hinami worriedly, and then at Izawa.
"I'm not going to say it. Knowing what he was thinking, Izawa shook his head at him and squatted beside Hinami, "Do you regret it?"
It's too late to say anything else to Izawa now, and when he heard this question, Kaneki was a little puzzled, not knowing who he was talking to.
However, under Kaneki's neglect, Hinami suddenly stiffened for a few seconds, and then cried even more sadly.
Yes, if she didn't have to come out to buy books, didn't have to drag her mother to find her father, didn't have to attract the attention of those bad people, maybe she and her mother would still be sitting in the coffee shop now, even if it's just writing and reading.
Why did she do those things!
Countless remorse turned into tears, and it seemed that there was no end to it.
Someone patted him on the shoulder, "I've lost my father, and it's pitiful to lose my mother without warning." Izawa remembered the umbrella that had been handed him not long ago, and he seemed to remember the temperature on the handle. There was a slight strange light flowing from the bottom of his dark golden eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved upward, "Otherwise, I'll give you another chance." ”
