Chapter 1: The Cursed Son

I don't know how long it took, but Wood opened his eyes in a daze, only to feel a splitting headache. It took a long time for his pupils to regain focus.

What comes into view is a place that resembles an enclosed sports field, surrounded by cold steel walls that completely isolate it from the outside world; It was dark, not even a little sunlight was shining through, and the air smelled of dampness, mixed with a smell of decay and ...... The smell of blood?

Where is this?

Wood looked straight ahead, stunned for half a minute before remembering what had happened before he passed out, as if he had crossed the ......

In other words, this is already a "pitch-black bullet"?

Thinking of this, Wood struggled to move, and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his posture.

When I opened my eyes, I didn't see the top of my head, but ...... Straight ahead.

The whole body was sore and weak, and the battle before coming to this world made him weaker than ever. I tried to move my arms, but there was only a biting pain, and there was no reaction.

By the way, my arms have broken bones.

Even if the vampire itself has an extremely strong recovery ability, it is not possible to recover from broken bones in a day or two.

But......

Wood turned his head to look, only to find that his hands, feet, and neck were chained by a special metal. The whole person was hung in the air by these metals in a large shape, so when he opened his eyes just now, he saw the front of him, not the ceiling.

He became a prisoner......

Wood stared blankly for a moment before he reacted. How did you become a prisoner? What happened when I was unconscious?

I struggled to remember what had happened before I fell unconscious.

(Red...) Red eyes!! οΌ‰

(I even ran into a red ghost.) οΌ‰

Don't......

Wood's face changed, and his mind, which was still groggy at once, cleared up.

And the wakefulness of his brain made his five senses more sensitive, and faintly, he seemed to hear faint breathing, and there was more than one.

He's not alone.

He wanted to turn his head to look, but he was hung in mid-air, and he could only turn his head to a certain angle, unable to see all the situations behind.

But......

He still saw one of those faint breaths, and a figure in the back left that was hanging like himself.

It was a little girl......

A little girl who looked to be less than ten years old.

Her hands, feet, and neck were bound by chains, and the whole person was hung in the air in a large shape, and the five chains were pulled straight apart, making the little girl's limbs take on an irregular shape, which looked very scary.

The immature little face was black and full of dirt, blue and purple......

As his gaze moved up, Wood's pupils gradually contracted.

Even if the little face was covered with dirt, it could be seen that the little girl was supposed to be a very beautiful female doll, perhaps with a pair of beautiful big eyes...... But now it's supposed to be a place with beautiful eyes.

But it turned into two large blood holes, and the blood pus was still sliding down the corners of his eyes.

Faint breathing looms.

Seeing such a scene, Wood felt that his throat was a little blocked, and his stomach could not help but twitch.

Result......

What kind of hatred can make a little girl under the age of ten become like this?

At the same time, Wood understood where the smell of rot came from.

Is that...... The smell of decay in the human body.

The little girl's clothes were in tatters, covered with knife cuts and bullet holes, and pieces of flesh and blood were covered with flesh. The flesh turned up, some of which were still bloody, should have been new wounds, and some of them were ...... But it had long since rotted and become pitch black.

'Buzzing' flies fluttered around the black rotten flesh.

What kind of hatred......

Wood already had the answer in mind.

Thinking about the conversation he heard before he fell unconscious, Wood's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

As mentioned before, the "Pitch Black Bullet" is a world even more terrifying than the "Kabaneri of the Iron City".

The world is full of despair.

Humanity is trapped in a megalithic monument made of metal 'glues'.

And in such a situation, a special race was born.

During an outbreak of Gastalovirus, the mother is born by ingesting the virus from the intestine during pregnancy, which causes the virus to accumulate in the fetus. These babies with enterovirus have certain gastroid abilities, that is, children with superhuman physical abilities and regenerative abilities.

They are......

- Cursed Son!

For some unknown reason, these cursed children, without exception, are all girls.

Moreover, because the protozoan virus has been around for less than a decade, the 'cursed children' are all little girls under the age of ten.

Possessing the power of protosagulars, the Cursed Sons naturally do not treat them as ordinary children.

Therefore, in order to thoroughly use this power in the war against the protozoa, a profession called 'civilian police' was born.

- Police!

The full name is Civil Security Company, which is a non-governmental organization responsible for dealing with incidents related to original intestines.

The main task of the civilian police is to eradicate the protozoa that have invaded human settlements from outside.

Since it is a private company, the police officers generally carry out their tasks in the form of entrustment.

The mission also includes not only the extermination of the invading original intestines, but also various tasks such as bodyguards, guards, searches, and sometimes the task must be carried out under the instructions of the government.

The police are generally operated by two people.

One is the civilian police themselves.

The other is the 'Cursed Son'.

The 'Cursed Son' is the main combat force of the duo because of its ability to exert the power of the Aragonal virus and its own ability to regenerate the body of the Aragon.

This 'cursed son' who partners with the police is collectively referred to as the β€”β€”β€”β€” initiators.

As the partner of the 'initiator' to assist in the battle, give the 'initiator' core support, and generally the guardian of the 'initiator', most of them are ordinary human beings, although the combat ability may not be as good as the 'initiator', but they are basically good at fighting, they are the party responsible for giving orders, and there are policemen who serve as the spiritual pillar of the 'initiator', they are collectively referred to as facilitators.

Normally, such a child should be a very precious fighting power.

But the truth is quite the opposite......

Not so long ago, the "Cursed Child" would have been secretly born by the river, drowning in a state where they could not open their eyes. In addition, because of their amazing ability to regenerate, they are vulnerable to cruel abuse by their parents.

And children who are not drowned are basically abandoned by their parents.

Because......

In the eyes of ordinary people, they with enterovirus are protosagular.

It was they who killed their loved ones, and the whole world became tattered.

Not to mention, every time they liberate their ability or are bitten by gastaroids, the rate of intestinal virus erosion in the body will gradually increase, and when the rate of intestinal virus erosion in the body exceeds 50%, it will ...... Animalization of gastrulation.

So humans don't treat them as if they were the same kind.

rejection, disgust, hatred...... All the negative emotions of human beings will be poured out on them without pity.

Hatred is like going deep into the soul, and all the remaining human beings in the whole world do not have the courage to seek revenge on the terrifying 'proto-intestinal creatures', and their lowly nature makes them vent all their hatred in these ignorant ......

There is power in the air, but the child does not know how to use it.

Trash, monsters, murderers, red eyes, red ghosts......

This is the most vicious hatred that people have when they see the Cursed Child with red pupils.

These little girls with red eyes, although they have power that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, but they are just like ordinary little girls, their minds are immature and they don't understand the original darkness of this world.

They don't know anything......

Not only is it used as a prop, but it is even used as a 'thing' for people to vent their hatred!!

The cursed children who became the 'initiators' were fine, but most of the cursed children were abandoned in the wild, left to fend for themselves, and even brutally retaliated against by the ordinary people who hated them......

For example......

Over here!

If Wood was not mistaken, the faint breathing sounds that he didn't see should have ...... Cursed Son!

And I, because of these red pupils, was mistaken for one of them.

'Click'

The sound of the switch came from the dark hall, and the entire hall lit up instantly, and the sudden bright light made Wood squint.

With the sound of unlocking, the only door in the hall was slowly pushed open.

"Hahahaha, wake up, look, there's the tall one hanging in front, which I picked up yesterday when I went to the slums to catch the red ghost, this height is rare in the red ghost's common 1.5 meters. And the one I brought back yesterday hasn't been judged yet, so do you want to try it? ”

"I'd love to gouge out those disgusting red eyes with my own hands."

"That's not going to work, the eyes are slow to recover, and when the time comes, you won't see the pain in her eyes, and it will be a lot less fun to torture. When the torture is almost over, everyone gouges out the eye and pours lead into it. ”

"I have a lot of new weapons here, and I even used special channels to get a lot of weapons made of '錡', which can definitely satisfy customers."

"Okay, this damn protogullar will let me kill it in the end, and I'll give you as much as you want. Today I must avenge my dead relatives. ”

"No problem."

The low man at the head smiled knowingly: "However, a few guests can't talk nonsense when they go out, even if our Osaka area is not like the Tokyo area, what kind of bullshit 'new law of original intestines', but there are also many naΓ―ve fools in those police organizations." ”

The low man's face sank, and a touch of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "Obviously, these monsters have ruined our world, what happened to us to take revenge on these useless props?" ”

His words made the dozen or so people who followed behind them nod.

These men and women, students of 18.9 years old and old men of 5.60 years, if they have anything in common, only when they look in Wood's direction...... The cold eyes and the heartfelt hatred and murder on his face.

Whether it was right or wrong for these people to turn their anger on the 'children of the thwarted' was something Wood didn't want to think about, or rather didn't want to think about.

There is only one thing he needs to do now, and that is to prove that he is not the son of hindrance.

so as not to be treated by those little girls.

They were pitiful, but Wood knew that with his current physical condition, he couldn't help them at all.

The men walked into the hall, and the outside door closed again.

Let everything that happens here be unknown to the outside world.

"Wait, I'm not some cursed child!"
