What is bad faith? What is the malice of the world? When is the world most malicious?

Ed rarely feels malice, he rarely meets the conditions for feeling malice. It's not called malice, it's called malice, it's a phenomenon, it's a very ordinary and common phenomenon, but if the person who has something you don't have shows you something in front of you and pulls it in your face, then it's called malice, naked malice.

And if this kind of thing still appears in front of you when you are the most helpless, the most tired, the most depressed, and the most powerless to resist, so that you can't get around, you can't avoid it, you know that you will be covered with a face, and you have to face the scalp, pinch your nose and twist your eyes to rush to their side, then this is the malice of the world.

Ed felt the malice now, sending chills all over his body, causing him to open his eyes violently in his sleep, and never close them again. In his hazy unconscious state, he clearly had a feeling that someone was doing something very wrong to him, and even now that he was awake, this feeling was very clear, as if someone had hung him on a flame that was neither tall nor low, and was smoking him like roasted bacon. He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't close his eyes, he couldn't laugh, and his face was tense into a medium-rare steak.

But in reality, no one did anything to him, no one was around him, no one did anything excessive to him. Even on his body, he found a very nice blanket, covering him tightly in the style of a shroud. He shouldn't have complained, he lay down comfortably, slept comfortably - even after he came to his senses, he realized that the comfortable bed he was now incapable of complaining about was actually a bathtub.

He seemed to be in the toilet and bathroom of a certain house, and judging by the black sky with stars visible from the window, it was late at night, and he had rested for quite a long time, from the afternoon until now. And in the afternoon, the last memory that stuck in his mind was......

"The Donfrie Family...... Dark Paradise...... Duroc! ”

Thinking back to everything that should be remembered, Ed's brows, whose eyes suddenly changed, furrowed again, helplessly and irritably, brushed his hair twice, rolled his eyes and silently opened his mouth and raised his head to howl, while lifting the blanket and jumping out of the bathtub, as soon as his feet hit the ground, he almost knelt down and kowtowed to himself in the mirror.

No strength. Even though Ed felt that his spirit had basically recovered, his body had no strength at all, just like a hangover and a whole day on an empty stomach with his lover. Without the replenishment of energy, his physical strength was now only enough for him to barely stand up on his feet, and Eddard, who had already had a similar experience, knew that he needed to eat something quickly in a short period of time before he could get back to his peak as soon as possible.

Now, not only public accounts, but also private accounts to be settled. And once he starts to calculate a certain account, he will definitely give a thorough calculation.

But now there's another problem. When he stood up with the washbasin, he saw it, saw himself in the mirror, a miserable appearance of an office worker who had been squeezed to the point of not having a drop left, both eyes and eyeballs were oozing bloodshot on his haggard face, and the traces of the day's battles were still left on his face and the surface of his body, although it was already a lot shallower, but even with his well-tempered body, it would take at least a few more hours to fully recover, after all, he had not yet reached the level of a superhuman level, although his pectoralis major muscles looked very strong, His abs also look strong, as do the muscles in the lower parts of him......

“……”

Ed glanced down at his naked body, and was silent for two seconds before rubbing his face in thought. Who stripped him naked? Who bathed him? What about his clothes?

His custom-made outfit was very valuable. At least that's the case for him.

But fortunately, it was obvious that he was the only one who was unfamiliar with his outfit, at least the person who stripped him naked did not look at his black uniform without any matching skills at all, and he did not mean to tease him in this regard and make him ugly. Very easily, Ed found his clothes in the clothes basket outside the bathroom door, from the jacket to the underwear, so that a big glass stone in Ed's heart finally fell to the ground.

However, this is also a little wrong, a little awkward, a little weird, a little bit heart-wrenching. Ed's heart couldn't stop babbling while he was getting dressed, and his two eyebrows were raised upwards and squeezed together in the middle - he had been twisting his brows for so long recently, and there were so many irritable things, that Ed's eyebrows were about to squeeze out a vertical wrinkle. Sometimes I think about it, this is really a curse, a curse that an adult man can't escape, it seems that the more middle-aged he will feel annoyed, the more things he will feel annoyed, and many things that he will not feel irritated before will now be irritable, and then he will be irritable and irritable will frown unconsciously, and then there will be such a vertical eyebrow line, which is about to become one of the signs of a man after the age of thirty.

But for now, Ed is more concerned about who does these things to him. His last memory was of a stalemate between himself and the petite girl in the rabbit mask and the old Duroc who relied on his large number of men and was held hostage by him, and he had already made the judgment that he could only retreat temporarily, leaving the old Duroc on Donfly's side temporarily, leaving himself and the rabbit first, and then finding another way to rescue him. Anyway, with what he knew about the gangsters, those people wouldn't really do anything to Old Duroc. It's not because of fear, there is always a way to solve the trouble, the important thing is the interests, killing the old Duroc is not in their interests, and the most important thing for the gang is the profit, and the loss-making business will never be done.

And then there was no then, and that was his last memory, and then he didn't remember anything. However, it is not difficult to speculate that he must have been taken away by a rabbit and rescued from him—it should have been, but now he was a little unsure of the result of this inference, which had nothing to be doubted, because he really couldn't imagine it...... Something that will do to him what he sees now.

In his sleep, he stripped him naked, threw him into the bathtub, gave him a bath, and then put water and wrapped him in a blanket to rest - such a delicate care, even if he found Marcy, the other party probably wouldn't do it, not give money, or give money, or even more money. As for tithe, it didn't even take a look, and he had to be beaten up in the middle of his mouth. Eligi's words are possible, but that's another story entirely.

Now the three women closest to him are like this, and this rabbit is even more unreasonable. It's not that he doesn't know who this person is, just like he once told Old Duroc, he also investigated the basic situation of the local dark world on this beach before coming here, he knew the legend of the two hellhound under the command of the new leader of the dark paradise, but he never thought that he would meet one of them so soon, let alone that the other party would help him at a critical moment and save his life from Donfly's hands.

Ed didn't know why, but he knew there must be a reason for it, and all he needed to do now was figure it out and talk about it later.

As a result, now, an event that made his eyebrows stand up and deepen again, but made him hesitate to push the door out after getting dressed—is the person who picked his clothes a rabbit? Although it is a little difficult to accept, there seems to be no other possibility now, although there is nothing in this matter itself, no matter what the other party's purpose is, the fact that he saved his life is practical, and in return let the other party see that the body is nothing, and it will not lose a piece of meat, not to mention that it is not himself who wants to suffer, but it is better to say that he has taken advantage, but I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the guy who is the son of the underworld is so ......

“……？！”

Didn't come, Ed's body shook a little. He felt it again, he felt the ferocious, excessive, spinal malice, as if someone was stabbing him in the back with a knife. The lines of the eyebrows rose again, and Ed's face was draped in a dark layer. He unscrewed the heavy grounded glass door of the toilet and strode out. He's going to find out what the hell is going on, where this terrible damn malice is coming from!

It only took a glance for Ed to see what kind of place he was in. Although it was undoubtedly late at night, it was not dark outside the window, but a large firelight was very lively, and there was a lot of laughter and laughter that was not noisy but there were a lot of people at first hearing, like someone was holding a barbecue party, and there was constantly the sound of barbecue and beer bottles colliding, and the breath of peace, happiness, and peace was transmitted to Ed's nostrils even through the glass.

It's a motel, I don't know where it is, next to a wide road, surrounded by a large beach of sand and forests, and the vague outline of the city can be seen in the distance, and in the opposite place there are only curving avenues leading to the unknown horizon.

Ed guessed correctly, there was indeed a barbecue party going on. Dozens of hotel tenants are relaxing in the open-air courtyard with a pool below, and the outdoor courtyard connected to the wilderness is enjoying the warm flames of the winter night, and the hotel's local ambient temperature control system makes the temperature of the pool hot like a hot spring, and friends who are tired of playing are soaking in swimsuits, talking and laughing with beer in their hands, and clinking glasses easily.

However, although the world was close at hand, it gave Ed the feeling that it was far away at the same time. Now all his attention was focused on the inside of the room, the direction of the doorway inside the room, a young man and a woman kissing.

Despite only looking at the back, Ed was sure that the girl was the rabbit.
