Seeing that we were about to leave, the boy said in shock.

"Well, are you leaving? Don't abandon me! I'm so scared alone! ”

The boy followed us closely, and I said to him with a look of horror.

"Don't follow us, kill you!"

The boy was trembling with fright, but he still hugged my thigh and said.

"Don't show such a terrible expression, one more person has more strength!"

"Aren't you going to find your wife? Why do you want to follow us to the department store?! ”

"Because, if you don't live, how can you find a wife!"

"Tsk, you're so annoying, and don't put snot on my pants, it's disgusting!"

I let out a long sigh of helplessness, if I was the worst at dealing with any kind of people, idiots and cheeky people were 100% the first.

"Names and abilities, if they're useful, I'll think about it."

"My name is Courage, and the ability is "self-hypnosis" in [Mind Manipulation]"

"Self-hypnosis"? Let's talk about it. ”

"To put it simply, you can only hypnotize yourself, which is a useless skill."

I nodded thoughtfully, and then said to him.

"You are qualified, but there are two conditions for following me, first, you must not betray and deceive me. 2. What I say and what I command, you must absolutely obey and obey. ”

Courage looked at the girls on my left and right in a daze, and then asked curiously.

"Did you also agree to these two conditions?"

Ye Xiaoyin nodded, and Tang Xuanxuan shrugged her shoulders and said.

"Give you a preventive shot in advance, the practice of night is very inhumane, he will use everything that can be used, and if he hinders him, even if the other party is an old man or child, he will kill him."

Courage opened his mouth in fear, and the whole person almost lost consciousness, he never thought that the man in front of him was actually a demon.

But at this moment, his grandmother appeared in his brain, and in the fantasy, his grandmother touched his face and said to him gently.

"Courage, grandma doesn't expect you to be a good person like your dad. However, you have to promise your grandmother that no matter what the situation, you will prioritize your own life. ”

The consciousness of courage returned, and he said to the other party with a trembling body.

"I'm going to go back and see Grandma first, and then I'll answer you."

I nodded, and went with Courage, whose grandmother was now near the dump in Y City, where there were few players due to the disgusting and foul smell.

Courage led us to a dilapidated house, and before I could get inside, I smelled the stench of blood and the stench of decomposing corpses.

I had a bad feeling and had the courage to open the door and walk in, and we silently followed him.

There were only two rooms, and from the doorway, everywhere there was a thick layer of dust, and electricity was still available, and as I approached the room inside, I looked at it all in amazement.

Beneath a tattered quilt, a skeleton lay there, some carrion on the bones, and the quilt was stained bright red with blood.

Courage didn't seem to see the outfit at this time, sitting next to the skeleton, talking to himself.

"What's going on?"

Tang Xuanxuan's brain didn't react for a while, and I, who was used to seeing bloody scenes, didn't feel anything about it.

"It seems that his grandmother has been dead for a long time, and he can't accept reality, so he uses the ability of "self-hypnosis" to escape reality."

At this point, Courage begins to introduce us to the bones.

"Grandma, the man in the middle is the boss I want to follow, and the two next to me are his little brothers, although I haven't found a wife, but I will try to catch up with this not very beautiful little brother."

Tang Xuanxuan showed sympathetic and pathetic eyes. Ye Xiaoyin stared at him expressionlessly, and I squatted in front of my courage and said to him.

"Wake up, your grandma is bones, see the reality."

Tang Xuanxuan looked at me with the eyes of a strange person, how could a normal person see the atmosphere so clearly and tell others the reality so bluntly.

"No kidding, my grandma is obviously lying here, if you say that, my grandma will be angry."

I grabbed the skull of the skeleton and pressed it against my face of courage.

"Is that good?"

Courage looked at the head, gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"You actually killed my grandmother! I'll kill you! ”

Courage grabbed my arms and opened my mouth to bite my throat, and without hesitation, I punched him in the face and pressed him down, my mouth close to his ear to activate the ability.

"Lift the 'self-hypnosis', see the reality clearly, and think about what your grandmother expects of you."

Courage's cloudy eyes regained their brilliance in the next moment, and after he stopped resisting, I got down from him.

Courage shed tears, he sat on the ground with his head in his hands, and then said in a choked voice.

"Why are you pulling me out of my fantasies.........."

"You can't come back from the dead, and if you've been living in fantasy, it's beautiful, but it's also a risk of death, depravity, my mom was killed two years ago, and my grandma died two years ago. So I understand your pain, and I have run away from it just like you, but now, I have decided to face it. ”

“..........”

"Escapism and indulging in pain are all manifestations of cowardice, and they are the most undesirable emotions in this garbage world."

"No matter what time and what state the world is in, if you dare to attack the people around me, even if it is God, I must make him understand how the word regret is written."

"So instead of going on like this until you die, you should give me your life and let me use it, at least your life won't be wasted by you."

I stepped out of the room and continued without looking back.

"I'll give you a moment to think about it and give me an answer in an hour."

Ye Xiaoyin and Tang Xuanxuan obediently followed me and left, and there was only one person left in the room, and Courage grabbed the hand that was already a skeleton and said to himself.

"What should I do? Grandma .........."

"You are my pride, no matter what decision you make, grandma will support you, you don't have to live for others, grandma only hopes that you can live well in this world, even if it is a wicked person."

Courage raised his head in astonishment, just now, he seemed to hear his grandmother's voice, and the bones under the quilt suddenly disappeared and turned into a pile of powder.

"I know grandma, I will definitely live to the last moment of the end."

Courage put the powder into a small gourd, put it on his body, bowed deeply to the quilt, and left the room.

Outside the door, Tang Xuanxuan asked me curiously.

"What are you going to do if that stupid boy doesn't come out in an hour?"

"Get out of here and go to the department store."

"So decisive?"

"I did what I had to do."

I glanced at the time, and there was still a minute left in the hour, when the door behind me opened, and Courage walked out, and said to me.

"Thank you, you are my benefactor, I decided to follow you, but I will not give my life to you, because I will live to the last moment of the end."

"As you please. However, it is essential to have the protection that should be provided. ”

I grinned and held out my cut finger to Courage and shoved it into his mouth while he wasn't looking.

"For details, you can ask Tang Xuanxuan."

After the matter of courage came to an end, we set off for the department store in Y City, and on the way, we also learned about his family situation from the mouth of Courage.

His father, a police officer, died in the line of duty, and the bad guys his father captured took the opportunity to take revenge on them, and the only survivors were Courage and his grandmother.

His grandmother's personality changed drastically, so after the end of the world, his grandmother gave courage not to be a good person, but to put her own life first.

In the end, my grandmother also died of hunger and illness, and the courage refused to accept the reality, and unconsciously hypnotized herself, and finally met me, I unraveled his hypnosis, and hypnotized him in turn, so that he could see the reality clearly.
