At that time, the little girl had grown into a slim girl, studying in a fairly good private high school.

INTERVIEWER The quality of teaching in private high schools in Japan is often much better than that of public high schools, but the tuition fees are also much higher.

Thanks to Hitomi Amamiya gradually figuring out the tricks of the cowherd industry, and slowly becoming one of the cowherds with the strongest ability to absorb money in the store, he can afford his sister's tuition.

The girl didn't want to make her brother work so hard, and would rather go to a slightly worse high school.

But under Hitomi Amamiya's strong request, she had no choice but to agree to her brother, and decided to study hard and earn more money to repay her brother after being admitted to a good university.

It was the weekend.

With her own efforts, the girl received excellent results in the final exam and was rewarded with a first-class scholarship.

Some time ago, as soon as the scholarship was issued, she planned to surprise her brother.

The two of them went out on the street together - for Hitomi Amamiya, who usually works late at night and early in the morning, he hasn't gone shopping with his sister for a long time, and he sees this as one of the ways to make up for his sister.

Shouldn't a little girl like shopping?

It's that Amamiya Hitomi didn't go to bed until four o'clock this morning, and she was a little sleepy and tired, and she couldn't keep up her spirits.

The girl with the mole on her eyebrows was very considerate of her brother's hard work, and she was a little happy about it, so that her plan could be more easily realized.

Sure enough, everything was in her plan.

Everything was going as she expected.

The girl temporarily left her brother and went to a pet store at great speed to buy a gray puppy - not a precious breed, yes and it didn't cost too much money, and her scholarship plus some savings on weekdays were enough to pay for it.

And by the way, Amamiya Hitomi actually likes such small animals very much, and when she passed by this pet store before, she stared at this puppy for a long time.

It may seem to him that there is some special similarity between them and this little animal.

It's just that Amamiya Hitomi didn't expect that such a small action was silently written down by his sister and planned to be given to him as a surprise.

In advance, the girl asked the clerk to understand the situation, and all aspects of the audit were passed, and the contract was signed, and the puppy was almost taken away.

In order to highlight the "surprise", the girl also deliberately asked the clerk for a relatively closed pet box - a small box-like thing used to carry such small pets.

"You have to be good~"

The girl whispered to the little greyhound in the box, and touched its little head.

"Don't scream just yet!"

"Whew......"

The little one let out a soft whimper, but the puppy's character was indeed very docile and he was not too afraid.

And it seemed that she really understood the girl's commands, and she didn't make much noise after that.

With this box, the girl came to the place agreed with her brother, waited for her brother's arrival, and then scared him with the "surprise" hidden behind her!

Just thinking of the picture of her brother being startled, the corner of the girl's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

It's just probably because Amamiya Hitomi is indeed a little tired today and the girl in order to prevent accidents, the agreed time is a little later, and after waiting for a while, she still can't see her brother.

"It's slow."

The girl's mouth pursed, and she was about to be able to hang a pencil and unconsciously spun around in place.

Even though she knew that this was excusable, the delay in sending out the prepared surprise still made her a little anxious.

I was worried about something unexpected-brother, shouldn't he be targeted by some bad woman?

Boys also learn to protect themselves when they go out.

The girl understands this very well.

Suddenly, the girl's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of her brother's back flashing down a path and as if he had entered an alley.

"Huh?"

She was confused.

Amamiya Hitomi's back, how could she admit her mistake?

Brother, what are you going to do there?

Could it be that he has prepared some surprises for me too?

The girl thought to herself.

This is not uncommon, and it has happened more than once in the past.

Her heart was full of the warmth of being cared for, but she couldn't help but be curious, and walked towards the path with the box in her hand.

The girl trusted Hitomi Amamiya so much that she never doubted whether that back was Hitomi Amamiya herself.

It's just that after walking into the alley, she still didn't see her brother.

The girl felt a little strange, but continued to walk inside.

Suddenly!

On a corner of the alley!

A piece of cotton cloth stained with a pungent smell suddenly covered the girl's mouth and nose.

In less than a second, a strong feeling of vertigo came through my mind.

"Caught."

The girl's remaining consciousness heard a strange man next to her say.

Intense uneasiness and fear erupted in her heart, and she instantly realized the crisis of the situation.

The body suddenly burst out of a force that came out of nowhere, desperately breaking free from the man's restraints and throwing him to the ground.

Then she ran out in a panic, even at this time, she hadn't forgotten the pet box in her hand.

"Hmph, that's the target chosen by the adult."

The man said indifferently, with a bit of envy in his tone.

"Such a talent is really a good material."

"Talent" "Material" ...... He spoke words that the girl didn't understand, and the girl didn't want to understand at all.

The girl just wants to run out of this alley quickly and get out of this trap.

But in her eyes, this short road has become extremely long, and no matter how many steps she takes, she can't escape.

It's not that the alleys have gotten longer, it's that the girl's pace has slowed down.

Even after the girl unconsciously burst out with the power related to the extraordinary, her body was still fragile after all, inevitably affected by the irritating gas, and her body became more and more weak, and every step seemed to be filled with lead, so that although the alley in front of her was very short, I am afraid that she would never be able to walk out.

The girl finally fell, slamming the sewage-covered ground.

The foul stench of filth burrowed into her nostrils.

She hugged the small pet box, her consciousness becoming more and more distracted, and she was about to fall into a complete coma.

But as the man said, she has a great talent that allows her to retain the last ray of clarity.

"Brother......

She muttered, using all fours, and with her weak body, she crawled out in such a terrible and ugly way that even her fingers were trembling.

"Oh, with such a large dose, can you still stay awake?"

At the other end of the alley, another woman's voice rang out.

"What a gifted man! It's enviable! ”

"Cut."

The man stood up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth - this was the damage caused to him by the girl when she broke free, and the extraordinary ability of that moment was already not to be underestimated.

walked over, and his tone was quite unkind.

"Can I teach her a lesson first?"

"This is the target of the adult, if you don't want to die, then you can do it."

The woman replied coldly.

Hearing the title "that adult", the man shuddered, and he had a heartfelt fear of that person.

But that's it, and he's a little unwilling.

The man lowered his head and was surprised to find the girl clinging to a box.

"Huh? What is it? ”

The man kicked the girl's body.

The girl didn't answer, but silently hugged the box in her hand.

The more she refused to hand it over, the more the man wanted to see it.

He was originally an X-cultist who acted without scruples, and he directly wanted to snatch it from the girl, but he was unexpectedly resisted.

"Isn't it something of value?"

This provoked the man's violent mentality, punching and kicking the girl on the ground.

"Give it to me!"

The woman just looked coldly at the side: "How are you going to explain to that adult?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured, just say that she didn't get it when she escaped?"

The man smiled cruelly.

"And I just want it."

"Just don't break her."

There were several bruises on the girl's body, and the pain was stimulating her nerves all the time, and her consciousness slowly sank into the abyss of numbness.

The small pet box was finally taken into the hands of the man.

"What is this?"

He was a little confused, but soon realized that there was a living animal inside.

After opening the zipper.

"Whew! Woof!!! ”

The gray puppy struggled to make a warning bark in the box.

If it is a large dog of huge size, such as a powerful Tibetan mastiff, it may pose some kind of threat to this adult man, but it is just an ordinary puppy, maybe it is still a mongrel, and it will not be more than two years to see the world with its own eyes.

Despite this, it had the courage to roar at a sturdy adult man, and even wanted to jump up and bite him.

"What!?"

The man sighed in frustration, very disappointed.

"I thought it was a baby, it's just a dog!"

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he closed the zipper and discarded the kennel on the ground.

The girl's heart was a little lighter.

But soon, the man turned around.

"This little thing, it's really an eyesore to look at."

He lifted his foot high and stepped down hard, and the whimper of a puppy could be heard from inside.

Immediately after, one kick, another kick.

Along with the chest, the young creature turned into a blur of flesh.

The girl who didn't cry even after being beaten finally slipped tears from the corners of her eyes and muttered in a voice that no one else could hear.

"Puppy ...... My puppy ......"

Memories pause here, and the next time she opens her eyes, the girl is already in the cold and dark basement.

"Hello."

The old man sensed the girl's awakening and greeted him cordially.

He seemed to be busy with something in his hands.

The girl looked blankly, it was a facility similar to an operating table, and on top of the operating table, a man and a woman were lying down.

It was the man and the woman who kidnapped her.

It's just that now they are distracted, their faces are pale, and their breathing is stagnant.

Probably been dead for a while.

A large opening was made in the abdominal cavity, which seemed to take out the intestines and put something special in them.

The level of gore in this picture is far beyond the girl's ability to bear.

A surging feeling of nausea came up my throat, but I was forced to block it in my throat, and I couldn't spit it out.

"I'm sorry I saw that."

The gray-haired old man smiled kindly, and said sorry words, but he couldn't hear any apologies.

And with his pair of surgical gloves stained red with blood, such a picture is even more terrifying.

"Thankfully, I expected it and did a little bit of work on your body so you wouldn't throw it up."

"Then, I'll deal with you when I do some more experiments with them."

From this day on, it was a girl's nightmare.

"Who...... Who's going to save me? ”

A small hope arose from the bottom of her heart.

Even if she knew, there was little hope.

Just witnessing the old man's "experiment" on the two corpses, the girl's fragile nerves bordered on madness.

But because of the old man's hands and feet, she maintained a particularly sober mind.

As time went on, the thought began to grow stronger.

"Whoever it is, please help me!"

Once, twice, three times......

Even countless times, she repeated this sentence in her heart.

Until one day, her heart's wish surpassed a limit.

"So, here I am."

The tormented girl heard an unfamiliar voice.

An illusory shadow appeared in this cramped and bloody basement.

It's Aono.

He witnessed all the memories of the girl, but only when the girl's heart's expectations reached the extreme, he was finally able to enter the dream, not as a bystander.

"You! You ......."

Unexpectedly, this old man, who did whatever it took to survive, was able to see Aono's appearance, and after a short period of surprise, he showed an obsessive look.

"It turns out that you are the perfect material!"

"There's something I've wanted to do for a long time."

Aono's heart had long since lost his anger, because the determination in his heart was extremely strong.

Like a heinous criminal, at first Aono would be heinous for his crimes, but when the judge pronounced the death penalty, Aono was no longer angry.

Because, his end is already doomed.

Aono can even face the person in front of him with a very calm attitude.

He knew best how determined he was

At this moment, Aono is to be the judge of the old man, to be his executioner!

In the next moment, Aono suddenly burst in front of the old man.

He didn't have time to react, and his head was shattered with a single punch.

Time passed here for a second, and Aono could confirm that the old man at this moment had been completely killed by him.

The next moment, Aono's position returned to his place, and the old man was still standing in front of him.

It was like meeting him for the first time.

"You! You ......."

"It turns out that you are the perfect material!"

Aono quickly understood everything, and thanks to his intervention, the dream made of memories could not continue, so it reverted to its previous state on its own.

But the time in the dream has actually passed for a second.

"No matter how many times, I'll kill you."

Aono's determination is more resolute than a stubborn stone.

......

It seemed like only a moment had passed, and it seemed like a century had passed.

Aono killed the old man in front of him again and again, so there were too many times, and Aono even had the leisure to choose some other ways to die for him.

Compared to what he has done, such a punishment can only be regarded as too light.

And the girl on the side just looked at Qingye stupidly, and didn't look away for a moment.

Even if it is a second by second, there will be a moment when the dream will come to an end.

Until this time, Aono gave the old man a merciful death.

He did not come back to life, but was thrown to the ground like a rag.

This abnormal reaction surprised Aono.

It took more than ten seconds before I finally realized that everything was going to end.

Aono turned around and found that at some point, the injuries on the girl's body disappeared little by little.

It seemed that every time he killed an old man, those wounds would be fewer.

What appeared in front of Aono's eyes now was a girl intact, even holding a pet box containing a puppy.

However, the look on her face was extremely familiar to Qingye.

"Aono-kun~"

It's still that kind of coquettish tone, and the end of the sentence is the same as the one in Aono's memory.

There is also that eye-catching beauty mole, only when she is Tomie, it will be particularly eye-catching, and she can't take her eyes off it.

But in reality, she is obviously ......

"I knew that Aono-kun would come to my rescue."

Amamiya Rei, or Tomie, she walked towards Aono and hugged Aono gently.

The soft and warm touch does not seem to be fake.

But shouldn't this be a dream?

For a moment, Aono couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality.

"So, let's do it."

Tomie suddenly spoke, smiling charmingly, like a rose with thorns.

"If you reject me even in your dreams, then I'm so pitiful."

Aono suddenly felt that something was wrong, and ...... "Do it?" ”

What are you doing?

"I don't think you understand it at all~"

Tomie is still smiling like a flower.

"It's okay, I've had a good preview ......"

————————————

Early the next morning.

The winter sun shines into the bedroom, and it is warm.

Aono wakes up from his sleep.

The fever all over his body had faded, and he couldn't be better now.

But strangely, Aono felt lost.

He can still clearly remember many things that happened in the dream, but when he reaches the end of the dream, he seems to have forgotten a lot of pictures.

What will be forgotten?

Aono pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of anything.

Since you can't remember it, it must not be an important thing, right? ’

Aono thought according to his habitual thinking.

Putting aside the doubts in his heart for a moment, Aono discovers something new strange.

On his chest, it was as if something soft and doughy was pressed.

Some of them were extremely heavy, making Aono feel a little bit depressed.

It seems that a person is pressed on his body, and he is surrounded by a pair of hands around his waist?

Aono almost thought it was a residual hallucination of a dream - in the dream, he seemed to have had a similar experience.

"I'm sleepy"

As soon as Aono thought so, he heard the sound of breathing, heartbeat, and blood flowing from the bed.

Sensitive hearing, and also caught a muttering or two?

So, Aono quickly lifted the quilt.

The smooth, familiar and delicate body was resting on his chest and sleeping peacefully.

Probably woken up by the cold air, she was sleepy-eyed and muttered in a daze.

"Good morning, Aono-kun."
