Chapter 466: The Little Boy's Story
Urban Abyss Students
This is the story of a little beggar.
This is also a story that takes place in a remote corner of the world.
A story from a long, long time ago......
——
It was a desolate mountain, and there was an abandoned village in the mountains, and this village had a very special name:
Lok Ma Village.
——
The village was originally inhabited by about 200 people, but then a terrible plague broke out, so that all the people in the village died, except for a little boy of about fourteen.
The boy's identity is a beggar.
In the words of other people in the original village, it was a wild child that no one wanted.
The children in the village usually bully the boy, and the adults will humiliate him from time to time.
Boys have the lowest status in the entire village.
——
The boy didn't know where he came from, let alone who his parents were.
All he knew was that since he was sensible, he had been taken in by a mute woman who lived alone in this village.
The rest of the village didn't seem to like the woman, calling her "Broom Star" and scolding her for not keeping a woman's way.
The boy did not understand why women were treated the way they were, nor did he know what those words meant.
When he finally understood the meaning of those words, the woman died.
The reason is that the village chief had a relationship with the woman, and the village chief's wife poured her anger on the woman.
Scold her vixen, broom star.
The village chief is a strict wife and is afraid of his wife, so he said that he was drunk and the woman took the initiative to seduce him.
But that's not the case, it's actually the village chief who got lustful and raped the woman at night, but then he accidentally bumped into the two people afterwards.
In short, the woman's bad reputation rose again.
Just like the source of her bad reputation in the first place.
——
This kind of thing happened, and the village chief's wife strongly demanded that the village chief give an explanation.
In order to appease his wife's anger, the village chief also wanted to prevent women from "talking too much".
The punishment for dipping in the pig cage was determined.
In short, the mute woman died unwillingly.
The boy who was cared for by a mute woman was blinded in one eye as he wept and begged them not to dip the woman in the pen.
So, the boy has been living a beggar life with no one to take care of him from that day on.
He didn't have much knowledge, so he didn't know how to survive on his own.
And the only way to survive is to beg and steal in the village.
and the willingness to be insulted to please others, and in this way to receive alms and good food.
Even if most of the things you get are not as good as the ones that animals eat.
——

——
The story takes a turn in this continuation.
A plague broke out of nowhere, killing everyone in the village, but the boy was the only one who survived.
Since then, the boy has been living alone in this village.
As for the bodies of the dead, he did not move, leaving them to rot until they turned into a pile of bones.
It didn't take long for the whole village to become a deserted village.
Bones on the ground can be seen everywhere here.
And the boy almost couldn't find any food in the village's households.
And these changes have only taken a year.
That night, the boy caught a fish from the river.
In the evening, when he had cooked the fish, he ate it quickly, and then he planned to find a random place to sleep.
However, just as he was lying down, he suddenly heard a cry outside the house.
It was the girl's cry.
And the boy himself has not heard anyone else speak for a long time.
The boy was not afraid, he ran to the source of the sound as if he were enchanted.
Finally, in the clearing in the middle of the village, a long-haired girl dressed in white was seen crying with her back to her.
The boy didn't think much of it.
Instead, he walked silently and came behind the little girl, and he asked blankly:
"Who are you, why are you crying, are you hungry?"
The girl replied in a voice that was almost like a mechanical and electronic sound:
"I ...... No friends...... Want friends ......"
The boy didn't even think about it for a moment, and replied directly:
"Then don't cry, I'll be your friend, okay?"
"You...... Would you like to?"
The girl turned her head slowly, her pale face shining even more gloomily in the moonlight.
But she looked like a very beautiful girl, about sixteen.
"Yes, I do!"
The boy just nodded.
The girl stood up:
"But only the dead can be friends with me, would you like to?!!!!"
The girl's face immediately became hideous, her mouth opened like a tear, and her mouth was bubbling with a hint of blue light.
When she turned around, the boy saw that the girl's clothes had no body inside, only a black wooden doll shell.
There is no doubt that this is a youkai.
It was the first time the boy had seen such a terrifying scene, and he was obviously a little stunned for a while.
At this moment, blue flames quickly erupted from the girl's body, and soon the boy and her were encircled.
The boy was in a sea of fire all at once and couldn't get out.
And between him and the girl, there was a large cloud of lush blue fire, and from the boy's side, he could look at the two red eyes of the girl on the other end of the blue fire.
"Look...... Humans are all like that...... Liars, all liars......"
The girl's mechanical voice sounded again, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
The blue flames instantly surrounded the boy, and the temperature was not high at first, only about 30, but now it was rising sharply until it burned the man to slag.
At the moment when he was completely engulfed by the flames, the boy saw a different scene.
In front of him, a puppet in the form of a little girl was sitting on the ground, holding her legs and crying.
It's still a mechanical voice, but it's very sad to cry.
The temperature of the flames on the boy's body had risen to an extremely dangerous level, and a sizzling sound was already coming from his body.
However, even so, he walked up to the doll girl, stretched out his hand, and said:
"When I'm dead, can I really be your friend? aren't you playing tricks on me?"
The puppet girl was stunned for a moment, then looked up, but saw that in front of her was a blue fire man, only those eyes could still see, clear and simple.
The girl subconsciously reached out and held the boy.
Immediately, the boy said in a somewhat excited voice:
"It's good that I have friends too, you are my first friend. ”
Then, the boy's body was burned to black ash in an instant......

It's dawn
On the bed in the room of the single dormitory, Bai Maluo slowly opened his eyes.
Today is the second major tournament of the Martial Arts Club, and Hakumaro wants to try to win the top three and get rewarded with gold coins, and he needs money very much now.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but his left eye seems to be a little darker than the one on the right.
