4. Undercurrent
In the wee hours of the morning, the whole city fell silent.
The lonely street lamp paints the artificial light, and the dark shadow behind the light is still the main theme of the world.
The dead end of the civilized world, far from popularity, only the remote corners frequented by rats and insects, welcomed visitors.
It was a strange young man in a Taoist costume and a bun.
Set in a deserted corner of the city in the middle of the night, it is extremely mysterious.
"Sneer......"
The handsome face of the strangely dressed man suddenly appeared mocking, and he took a leisurely step forward, if someone was on the side, seeing this scene, I am afraid that he would inevitably exclaim, because there were no footprints left on the soft snow!
He walked to the innermost depths with a happy smile.
Places that are dark and hidden, and not even covered by wind and snow.
There, a half-rotted humanoid twisted, a putrid stench that could not be frozen even in the cold of snow.
It can be seen that the man's eyeballs have rotted completely, leaving only the deep hole of the eye socket facing the sky, the mandible is wide open, and the surface of the facial bone is distorted because of the dryness that has been preserved to this day, which seems to indicate the extreme horror before death.
"Hmph, arrogant old madman, sneer......"
Looking down at the corpse at his feet, the young man seemed to be about to mock as much as he wanted, but his expression suddenly changed, and he frowned and looked back at the gap between the dark and deep alleys where he came from.
"It's really annoying that there are all this self-righteous annoying garbage everywhere, it's really troublesome......"
Cursing in a low voice, the young man finally glanced at the corpse on the ground with a sneer, turned and walked into the darkness, and disappeared.
In a moment, two footsteps sounded.
A tall and thin middle-aged man with bandage marks on his neck was revealed, with a gloomy face, hooked nose, and dark skin.
"Is this it?"
The tall and thin middle-aged man looked at the man beside him with a proud look.
The sharp hooked nose moved, as if sniffing something, and the already narrow eyes narrowed:
"Are you doubting my abilities?"
replied unceremoniously, but the tall and thin middle-aged man had a very good temper and did not get the slightest anger, but smiled and said:
"Being able to send an elite with special talents like you to us is really a relief in the snow and solves our urgent need."
As he spoke, he walked into the depths, and then in the position of the young man just now, he showed a complicated look on his face:
"It's really Lord Kui, I didn't expect to be as powerful as him, and he died here silently......"
When the man who followed behind saw the corpse of the old man lying on the ground, he couldn't help but slightly restrain the conceit on his face, and his eyes became mournful.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, his expression moved, he raised his nose, and showed a puzzled expression:
"Here...... Seems to have something else? It doesn't seem to have ...... Hmm, probably because there is too much dust in this bad place, and my physical sense of smell misleads my abilities......"
Talking to himself and frowning:
"Now that you've found the traces of Lord Kui...... Even though it's a corpse, it's good to ask your men to collect it later, and we'd better get out of this uncomfortable messy place quickly! ”
"But ......"
The tall and thin middle-aged man looked at the body of the miserable old man in front of him, and groaned with some hesitation.
"Don't forget the disgusting smell I caught on the way here, oh...... I can't wait to wipe this foul breath out of this world......"
Hooknose's face showed a cruel look of disgust and excitement......
………………………………
"Amnesia?"
In the student council room, surrounded by a long table, Aya Yue asked suspiciously.
"Well, it's the kind of ...... that I don't remember anything."
I scratched my head with the other end of the disposable chopsticks, thought about it, and described.
It was already dark outside.
From time to time, you can hear groups of students laughing and passing by.
Since that time, we've been gathering here for dinner from time to time.
Of course, it's not as exaggerated as that day, and they usually just bring their own boxed lunches.
"It depends on whether it's physical or conscious."
Ayayue's slender and powerful fingers tapped the table and explained:
"The former is such as damage to the brain tissue where memories are stored, although it is not impossible to retrospectively restore the imprint of consciousness, but the difficulty is no longer what we can imagine at this level of storage."
"The latter is relatively closer to our realm, and most of the time the consciousness is stimulated to cause some kind of subjective shadow or obstacle......"
She looked at me expectantly after her tirade, shrugged her shoulders, and concluded:
"But no matter what kind of memory you want to recuperate, it's not an ordinary thing that can be solved...... It's better to say that in comparison, we are better at making an able-bodied person amnesia~~"
“…… Damn, that doesn't mean you didn't say it! ”
I almost stuck my chopsticks into my skull with the wrong force, I shouted.
"Did I say there must be no way?"
Ayayue's long, narrow eyes turned sideways, and I immediately went honest.
"Well...... Anyway, I can't even open the boundary now, I'm helpless......"
Don't always say such discouraged things after arousing people's hopes!
I looked at her with a depressed look on my face and continued leisurely:
"But maybe there will be a way to ...... in the Su language"
My eyes lit up.
"But that guy has suffered a much worse backlash than me this time, and has been taken away by her mother to try to regain her lost consciousness, and it's not clear if she can get back......
She looked out the window unconsciously, her voice faint.
Don't suddenly turn to such a heavy topic! There's no complaining about your atmosphere at all, hey!
But it's more or less a possibility to see the solution of the silk.
I hope that Su Yu woman will not hang up like this......
I prayed to God casually, and I guess that a guy like me, who only thinks of others when he needs them, will probably not be blessed even if he is pious......
Lowered his head to prepare for dinner, and then rubbed his eyes a little strangely:
"Did I only order rice today!? …… Goo-goo-goo, where is the chicken steak for chicken steak rice!! (╯°口°)╯(┴—┴"
So my sharp gaze swept over the guys in the room.
First of all, a certain short man with short shaggy hair.
"It's not this great sage!"
Please, don't look happy! And is there a minimum of compassion, hey!
"No, it's not my ......"
Yuan Xue waved her hand timidly.
No one will doubt you who are quiet and honest.
I cast a reassuring look at her.
Next up is the rattan seal...... But forget it, it is estimated that the guy who only needs to photosynthesize to survive has no incentive to steal chicken steak at all.
Thereupon......
"Gollum, Gollum...... Chewing, chewing...... Well, it's not me, hee-hee-hee......"
"You're the culprit!"
