Chapter 4: The Consciousness of the Exceptional

After that, when we arrived at the village, it was already afternoon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The stomach that hadn't eaten much was hungry again.

Standing in front of the strange and poor village, Youji had already let go of the girl's hand.

The latter was very happy and ran into the village with a smile on his face - probably because of the fear of being kidnapped by the bandits?

However, it did not match the smile on her face, and what the demon saw on the faces of the villagers was clearly jealousy and haze.

"I've known it for a long time, but it's not good."

Thinking quietly, the demon slowly followed behind the girl.

The villagers quickly noticed him, but it seemed that the saber at his waist did not match the boy's posture. Although their faces showed obvious doubts and suspicions, they did not make any reckless moves.

'Let's hope nothing happens...

Youji followed the girl all the way. Soon, they came to a broken grass house.

Looks like a 'Mommy', right? Or Daddy?

While the monster was thinking, the girl happily pushed open the door and rushed in.

But then, what sounded from the door was not the cry of a difficult reunion between parents and children.

Rather, it was an exclamation.

'Tsk-'

The door opened quickly. And of course, the person who came out of it was panicked.

As if asking, 'What are you going to do!???!

You don't understand the specific content, but you can guess the general content if you look at the surrounding villagers' momentary uproar...

'Well-I knew it was going to be like this'

No gratitude, no food, no warmth - at this moment, the villagers saw only fear and complaints.

Then, the negativity accompanied the unorthodox parents who continued to yell and yelled, and it quickly turned into something even worse.

'That's all I can do.'

The girl who didn't even know her name was crying, and her already dirty appearance was even more miserable.

The villagers seemed to be annoyed by the cry, and they quickly began to move.

"If you want to catch me..."

A man reached out and grabbed Youji's shoulder, but as he did so, Youji also moved.

- Time stopped, and then the scabbard was removed from the waist in a still space-time.

'Of course you can't kill, but you don't have to kill for everything'

Then, before time continued to flow, the man was slammed into the stomach with the scabbard.

With the strength of a child, one stroke is definitely not enough, so two strokes, if two strokes are not enough, three strokes.

Then, time begins to flow. The three heavy blows that burst out at the same time directly caused the man's body to bend into a shrimp, and then he fell to his knees in pain.

-- Everything happens in a moment. By the time people reacted, it had already become like this.

"Let's talk about it first - I'm just defending myself"

Of course, the language that is not spoken in the same way cannot reach the ears of the villagers.

However, for Youji, the most important thing at this moment is not to let the other party understand. Rather, confirm your position.

"After all, I don't have that kind of position - isn't it strange to be caught by you?"

Some of the villagers were frightened, while many more did not yet recognize what was happening.

In their unenlightened minds, I'm afraid that there is only one word for what happened just now: resistance, right?

Didn't really recognize how their neighbors were brought down. At this moment, in their hearts, they still have the illusion that they can easily defeat the monster.

- But that's just an illusion.

"Let's try it"

The next thing that happens is a mix of tricks and stops.

Even if you stop when you start, you will be more tired than normal when you can't breathe, so in terms of children's physical strength, it is better not to stop when you don't need to.

"Plus... I'd like to try it too, a more fashionable way of fighting."

So, if you only use that power at critical moments, that's what it will look like.

-- Even though he was just a child, he was able to survive the siege of more than a dozen people. Agility navigates holes in the enclosure network, turning the enemy's advantage into a disadvantage. It's as if there are eyes in the back of the head, and no one can hit the emaciated figure with any attacks, but if you show a flaw because of your excessive movements, you will be knocked down by a merciless blow.

Power, speed, judgment.

It's just a child, but it's completely beyond an adult.

So, in an infinite one-on-one where only one person knows the truth, it's only natural that they will be knocked all down, right?

Right.

Faster than anyone else, more accurate than anyone else, and will never be attacked and besieged.

Such a bogey.

It's invincible.

"Hah!"

He laughed heartily.

An experience like this that Youji had never thought about in the past.

In that distant, comfortable and ordinary past, it is impossible for a young man to encounter such a situation as one of the infinite ordinary.

Violence, privilege, in an age when many things would not be put into the light, and the opportunity to fight for something like this is not so much too few as it is not.

No chance, no qualifications.

But now, it's different.

There were four hands stretched out to the body, huddled together in a mess, as if the human wall without any gaps was full of flaws in the static time and space.

First kick an unsteady leg, then place the scabbard on the abdomen of the person in front of him, and then break away from the open gap.

It takes as much as three seconds and as much as a fraction of a second.

Then, in the chaos of the villagers, take advantage of the situation to knock down one more person.

'I'm not a hero, but I'm not an ordinary person, right?'

That's enough.

Like most boys who live in times of peace, and like all people who are not fully grown. In the heart of the jealousy, there has never been a desire for 'specialness'.

-- I want to be different from others and see myself as the center of the world.

But that can't be done.

If it is human beings, it will be chased, and if it is achievement, it will be smoothed out.

If you always think about your own special words, it will only become a problem for others.

- But that's just in the past.

In the past, absolute power and wisdom could not exist, and perfect people could not have been born from the beginning.

However, it doesn't seem to be the same here.

"Maybe not absolutely, but..."

When he came here and saw the moment of static time and space, Youji knew that he was no longer ordinary.

I got it myself, something very precious.

"No!!Not at all!!"

The unstyled shout, after knocking down about fifteen people, the white-clothed boy laughed among the wailing villagers all over the ground.

As if he had encountered something very funny, his tears of laughter flowed out, and he bent over with laughter.

It was only at this time, when he hit the villagers more than ten times his own again, that the demon suddenly realized.

-- Myself, what did I get?

That was something he hadn't felt at the beginning, when he killed the seven bandits.

It's also something he didn't think about when he first came into this world.

Forgotten by fear of hunger.

Unable to look directly because he is addicted to old dreams.

"So I'm so strong."

If you are strong, the way of thinking will be different.

If you are strong, your self-confidence will continue to emerge.

Strong words - to be able to say things that weak hours could not say, and could not say.

- Even if no one can understand it, even if no one can hear it.

'It's not how I'm perceived, it's how I want others to see me'

There is only one villager left.

The short but fierce confrontation had come to an end, and the man was stunned for a moment as he looked at the wailing neighbors, and then suddenly screamed.

Then he fled.

'Turning your own problems into someone else's problems -- I shouldn't do this kind of thing, but I'm not the only one who needs to take one step at a time.

That's the difference between adapting and being adapted.

Youji, who figured this out, smiled again.

Raising his head, because of the change in his mood, the villagers who were originally unpleasant have become a lot more pleasing in his eyes.

No, it's not all.

Because even if they have failed miserably, there are people who are more afraid of bandits than monsters.

I feel that I can defeat the monster by sneak attack.

Behind youji, who had already noticed, the man, with an axe in his hand, was approaching with a sweaty face.

"--Now that I can't communicate, I only have one thing to do in the beginning."

It seems that there is no intention to capture it, but to kill it.

I don't know if it's a certain feeling of murder or sweat, so that Youji can notice his existence even if he doesn't look back.

'Liwei?no...・・・I think it's a show of stance...

He doesn't have to be in a group to live, it's not that if he doesn't live in a group, he can't get food to eat.

There are many ways to do this, but he hasn't been able to get rid of the confusion before.

'So-'

Reach out and hold the knife—

Let the mind concentrate and the mind surge.

"Mystery - "

After that, meaningless names flow out of their mouths, allowing the words to reach the ears of the villagers.

Stand still, time and space, and come at that moment.

- Of course, you can't be a sword saint, but you have a special ability, but you can do it to a more exaggerated level than that.

"-Eight knives and one flash-"

Instant is eternity.

There was not even a flash of sword light, only in the air, and at the same time that something was disturbed, it disappeared and appeared.

and the villagers who were behind him, but were now in front of him, bewildered by the disappearance of the people in front of them.

"Probably?"

There are eight wounds... Maybe more.

Even though he had that name, he carefully counted how many knives he had swung in the still space-time... Youji didn't plan to do that yet.

Piracy, of course, but even piracy - can easily kill.

The villagers finally screamed in complete horror.

Blood gushed in front of the boy.

Throat, heart, lungs, shoulders, knees, wrists.

"If you want to kill me, you can only say I'm sorry-"

The monster, who didn't feel that he had done something wrong, completely abandoned the last hesitation in this scream.

He turned and walked out of the village.

One step, two steps, three steps.

While the villagers scattered and fled, a rapid snapping sound approached from behind.

It feels a little familiar, it feels like I've heard it somewhere.

Listening to the voice, Youji couldn't help but stop.

'Who is it?'

It's not a sneak attack, and you won't be so flustered if you sneak attack.

Turning his head, Youji looked in the direction from which the voice came.

And there, what he saw... was the girl who ran against his parents who were running, with tears on her face, running towards him without hesitation.

'Ahh

Something between touching and tenderness came to my heart in an instant.

Driven by that emotion, Youji smiled and stretched out his hand, letting the child, who was about the same age as himself, hold it.

"Since you chose this side, please take care of me?"

Even he didn't know why, in such an era, he could still laugh.

……………… A certain snake ..................

In fact, Lingling's inventory of this item is not much.

One chapter a day doesn't last long.

Although I know the setting and general story line of this book, if I have to say anything, I know it until the ending.

If you let the old man write it, it feels like the number of words in the book is equivalent to the number of words in the main book. 800,000 away.

However, there is a big difference between the style of Lao Yu and Lingling, although many of our settings coincide, but the difference in writing style is quite big. So don't expect the decay to fill the hole.

Finally, you have to praise Lingling a lot.

Only if you praise her, she will be updated!
