Chapter 15: Brothers
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the twentieth century, to be precise, in 1995, we are at the station of the airport, you borrow me, and I don't want to return it...... What's that, it's a string of words. Anyway, that year, two minors joined Midnight – ten-year-old Riadi and twelve-year-old Allen.
They escaped from an orphanage in Detroit three years ago, for a reason that is not complicated, it is a typical sociological case that can be applied to the adult world, and of course, it is more explicit and explicit in the children.
The story is not long, and its process goes like this, firstly, as he grew older, Riadi showed wisdom that frightened all the children except his brother, and the ensuing jealousy and disgust; Then there will be tall children who will come to find fault, such as tripping in the restaurant, breaking toys and the like; Then, it is conceivable that Riadi will not cry and go to the adults to complain for help, he will use his wisdom to fight back with all available conditions. The effect was undoubtedly significant, because what happened next was that the children suffered and cried to the adults for help, and adopted a cold and violent attitude towards the two brothers, pushing them out of the larger group.
Riadi was unimpressed, he knew exactly what was going on, and he knew better than those involved how it was going to develop.
For example, when human beings discover that there is a species that is better than themselves on Earth, although the number is very small, its ability is undoubtedly in two dimensions with itself. What will humanity do then?
Embracing these outliers? No, big mistake!
Humans will take advantage of the fledgling nature of the species to contain it, try to uncover the secret that the species is superior to themselves, and if they don't succeed, exterminate it. And when all these plans fail, and humanity realizes that its dominance on the planet is destined to be replaced by a better species, it will change its attitude and wag its tail and beg for mercy. They don't feel guilty about what they've done, and expect the other person to be kind to them in turn.
That's what happened in this orphanage, and of course, the kids didn't have that mature way of thinking, they just followed their instincts and decided every step of the way. Yes, this is what humans are, selfish, cruel and brazen creatures, traits that cannot be concealed even as children.
Riadi could see far ahead, so he could deduce that if any of these children were the first to pat the two brothers' ass, the next ones would rush to come and pay their respects, leaving the seemingly large group and joining this small group that was clearly more promising and advantageous.
It won't take long for him to be the head of the children. This is the sad status quo, the natural law of this universe.
So, after ten months, Dang Yadi became the prison boss in the orphanage. The new kid will be told by the other kids, "Hey, do you see that guy, he's the head of the place, be extra careful when talking to him." ”
One day, without warning, Riadi suddenly said to Allen, "Brother, let's get out of this hellish place." ”
Alan only thought about it for a few seconds, and then quickly agreed.
In fact, there are many reasons behind this conversation. Riadi understood that Alan was almost ten years old and fat, which made him look older than he really was. Even very young orphans know that the older they get, the slimmer their chances of being adopted. Adults prefer to adopt babies or children under the age of five, so that the fact that they are not related to each other can be concealed.
As for Riadi himself, several couples tried to adopt him, but every time they came to the interview, they were frightened by his overly mature conversation and almost radical ideas. Only Alan knew in his heart that his younger brother didn't want to be separated from him so he deliberately messed it up.
Therefore, the brothers tacitly went from preschool to post-school in the orphanage, until this day, Riadi made a decision that since he was going to leave sooner or later, there was no need to delay until he was sixteen. Because even if this world is another 160 years away, people will have to rely on themselves to survive after all.
But before leaving, he had one last thing to do - kill everyone here who knew their brother.
Some people may say that this kind of behavior can only be done by a perverted murderer, and if two children under the age of ten have this kind of thought, they are simply born demons.
In fact, it was a very reasonable and deliberate decision.
At the age of seven and a half, Riadi knows enough about modern human society as a whole, at least in his opinion, that he could have become a philosopher before he reached adulthood. Therefore, a person who has seen the world very thoroughly since he was a child, he must have a certain plan for his future (except for the cat master, most of the time he lives one day at a time), in this set of plans, the key point is that on the way to the top of society, there will inevitably be so-called "crime" behavior.
In order to meet the sooner or later coming, the best way for the government to track down is to make yourself disappear, and it is a good choice to never be born. The data stored in the computer can be hacked, and the files of the local police station can be burned, but what about people? What should the teachers and students in the orphanage do? So, there is the initial answer.
In the case of Liadi and Alan at that time, it was basically up to his younger brother to do this, and Allen's nervous system mutation was an accident that occurred later when he joined Midnight, and he was just an ordinary person when he was ten years old. Dan Liadi is different, over the years, he has not shown his "dangerous" ability in front of anyone except his brother, this is a secret that must not be revealed, but on a winter night, he used his holy power and easily destroyed dozens of lives, most of which were children......
No matter how many years have passed, Alan remembers the night he was in an alley as Riadi walked into the orphanage, and after only five minutes, it was all over.
Only two emaciated children escaped from the burning building, and they had not been in the orphanage for long, and the two were originally street children, who had not yet fully recovered their health, but just as they finally came to a temporary place to call home, a killing ended everything.
"Ai ...... Alan ......" a child cried, "Riyadi, he's crazy...... He's a monster...... He...... He ......"
Alan stabbed the child with a dagger hidden behind him, stabbing him in the chest, and the thin figure fell forever before he could groan a few times.
The other child tried to turn and run away, but Riyadi appeared behind him at this moment......
The white snow was sprinkled with red blood, and the eyes of the two children when they died were extremely terrifying, often appearing in Alan's nightmares.
"Let's go, brother." Liadi said coldly, a child who doesn't need to buy a ticket for a ride, but has a more terrifying momentum than a professional killer.
That night, they left that place, that city...... The next day, the newspaper reported a tragic incident caused by an underground gas leak, and the local people only sighed for a while, and in less than two weeks, the government began planning for reconstruction.
Riadi and Allen's journey to leave all kinds of unsolved cases in the history of American crime also began on that day, because they are children, have you ever seen a ten-year-old kid rob a bank, kill someone, and steal a museum? They were never even listed as suspects!
And so it went on for two years......
Don't think that Midnight found these two brothers, in fact, Liadi and Alan found Midnight first, this is not a new thing, although it is difficult to discover a mysterious force, but on the other side of the world, there is a child named Gu Chen, who was able to complete something more difficult than this a few years ago, so there is a precedent for this.
Later, things became logical, and less than a year after joining Midnight, Li Yadi was regarded as the best candidate for the next boss, and Alan naturally followed suit.
However, on the night of the slaughter of the orphanage, the two thin figures in the alley lingered in Allen's heart, until in the battle with the cat master, they appeared clearly in front of him again.
At this moment, Alan understood that it was not the two innocent children that their brother killed that night, but their own souls. Since then, he has no more feelings for killing, he has become numb to morality, dreams, humanity, all the good things in the world.
There is only one thing left that makes Eren feel that he is still "alive", and that is food, and food is the only thing that Eren is left to pursue, and the last thing that can bring him some satisfaction. But he also knew in his heart that no matter how much he ate, he couldn't fill his empty soul.
…………
"It's bleeding too much, it's all over." The cat master reined in his spiritual power and put away his weapons, obviously having no intention of fighting again.
Allen still approached the cat master step by step: "I must kill you...... Can't let you go to Dimi'......"
Master Mao looked at him and said, "For a person who is not related by blood, you have done enough." ”
Alan didn't stop; "Blood relationship? Hum...... That kind of thing doesn't matter at all...... We will always be brothers. ”
"Maybe when he was a child, Riyadi really didn't know that your brother and him were not biological brothers." The cat master sighed in a sad tone: "But do you really think that he doesn't know about this now?" ”
Alan finally stopped.
Master Mao continued: "Because the surname is also Hutt, and the two of you have not been very gregarious since childhood, the director of the orphanage lied to you. ”
"Why do you know this?" Alan asked, gasping.
"Soul touch, it's just a little trick to read memories."
"Hmph...... Whatever...... Your words don't change anything. ”
"I just want to tell you......" The cat master turned his head and surrendered his gaze to Wang Xu and Li Yadi's spiritual sense: "If you really want to play the role of a brother, you should punch the younger brother in the face with his fist when he makes a mistake, instead of acting as an accomplice." He turned back to Allen and said, "Look what kind of arrogant, selfish, self-righteous tyrant you have spent decades making." ”
Alan snorted coldly: "Then what have you created?" Demon King? ”
Mao Ye spread his hands: "I haven't been able to change anything, someone has always been ...... from the beginning to the present It's just a crazy otaku. ”
Alan's blood was about to run out, the flame of life had burned to the last ashes, and he could no longer stand up, and sat helplessly on the ground.
"If this can make you feel at ease before you die...... "The Russians have beaten me a little badly, and I have no interest in interfering in the battle between the madman and the tyrant over there." ”
Alan smiled wryly, "After all...... It's Wang Xu...... Will you win......"
Woody on the side answered this question for the cat master: "Hey, hey, hey...... Properly so. ”
"Huh...... So we ...... I can be a brother in another world, as an older brother, I have to go first......" Alan's voice grew weaker and weaker, and finally the signs of life disappeared along with his voice.
The cat master looked at the sky, and he didn't know who he was talking to: "This time you should know, you have to beat your face......"
