Chapter 40: Destiny (4)
γFig Towerγ
Most of the children in the shelter are thirteen to seventeen years old, all of them are bad boys, if they only enter at the age of fourteen or fifteen, they play an easy difficulty management simulation game, and Keiji Hojo enters at the age of seven and plays a hell difficulty survival simulation game.
At first, because of his short stature, others didn't have the desire to bully him, but this was a child who stabbed people with a knife at the age of seven, and compared with stealing and cheating money, the level was much higher, and after knowing the reason why this little man entered the shelter, they began to provoke him, wanting to make him angry and do something irrational.
In the shelter, the biggest enemy is not the people who are being incarcerated, but the people who are being incarcerated and the many scary rules that are punished for breaking the rules, and the punishment is not hurtful, but it is very uncomfortable.
Keiji Hojo stabbed people not because of impulse, but because the other party wanted to insert him into the dark alley, there are many such people in the ruins of the streets, and they are generally less courageous, that guy is probably a newcomer, and he has not been beaten by hooligans, thinking that this is an ordinary child, and he paid the price of blood for it.
I learned how to resist from hooligans, I learned how to forbear from the neighbors, provocation is ineffective for Hojo Keiji, but he doesn't like forbearance, he yearns for the life of hooligans, everyone else has to walk around when he stands on the street, fights and fights to the point of bleeding and then laughs and drinks, carefree and free, such a life can be called pleasant.
So after entering the shelter for nearly a year, Keiji Hojo has been safe and sound, and even gradually liked it.
Unlike Keiji Hojo when he was a child, Shuyu, braised lamb knee, and middle-aged Keiji Hojo were "warmly welcomed" as soon as they arrived at the shelter.
They appeared at the back of the confinement chamber, where nine stand-in messengers were waiting, and the three of them immediately attacked as soon as they appeared.
But this time Zhou Yu didn't panic, because the braised lamb's knee was there, she didn't even need to call out her stand-in, and directly killed the two stand-in messengers in seconds.
Zhou Yu and Hojo Keiji didn't dare to make waves, and they summoned seven times retribution and the Dark Castle in a regular manner, and the two stand-ins had excellent defensive capabilities, so it was no problem to protect themselves.
Braised lamb's knee is not a sneak attack, after killing the two stand-in messengers, the other party is already ready to defend, and she doesn't dare to be too reckless, because the stand-in is not attacked by her, but it can attack her.
Zhou Yu was caught between two stand-in messengers, one is a melee stand-in that can be turned into a double knife with both hands, the speed and precision are very high, the strongest is dodge, although he is restrained by seven times retribution, but he can dodge or parry most of the return attacks of seven times retribution, and only suffer a little scratch at most.
The other will spit out something like a slime from a mouth like a tube, the size of a fist, but not jelly-shaped, more like a roasted marshmallow, will jump and crash into the target, the stickiness is extremely strong, it can't be shaken off if it sticks to the body, whether it is a stand-in or a stand-in messenger, it can be sticky, it is much sticky, it can stick people to the ground, and let people slaughter.
While letting the seven-fold retribution deal with the hand knife stand-in, while chasing and killing the marshmallow slime stand-in, the attack range is small, its own strength is average, Zhou Yu chased very hard, and he couldn't hit that person for a long time, fortunately, Hojo Keiji quietly ran over and pounced on the marshmallow slime stand-in messenger.
Keiji Hojo is also being attacked, there is a distorted space protection, the other party has no way to take him, his legs and feet are not dexterous, and the attack distance of the dark castle is short, and he has no way to take the other party, so he has to play sneak attack.
The Marshmallow Slime Stand-in blew up, his body twisted, and the blood was wrung out like water in a towel, then twisted, transferred, and splashed out, as if it were raining blood.
The three main forces of the other party were holding back the braised lamb knee, hoping that their companions could solve Zhou Yu or Hojo Keiji as soon as possible, and then come over to gather fire, but unfortunately the person who attacked Zhou Yu was solved by one, and Zhou Yu was able to free up his hands to deal with the hand knife stand-in.
Turn on [Sluggish], fine-tune the seven-fold retribution of the counterattack, the counterattack is automatic, and it is inevitable to shoot seven times, even if it is in the bullet time, the speed of the counterattack is also very fast, Zhou Yu concentrated, and soon opened countless openings on the opponent's body, and finally unloaded the stand-in's hand with a knife, and then used 11 to cut off the person's head.
There were still five of the nine people left, and after Zhou Yu joined the braised lamb knee, he quickly solved all the remaining stand-in messengers.
"Thanks to your help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to solve these stand-in messengers, let alone change my fate." Keiji Hojo sighed.
"You've failed twice, you haven't been able to kill your father, history is repeating itself, even with our help, you may not be able to change your fate, do you really want to continue?" Zhou Yu wiped the blood from his face, and the Dark Castle killed the Marshmallow Slime stand-in like a juicer, and he was drenched in blood and turned into a red man.
"Gotta try." Keiji Hojo is not a man who will compromise easily.
"Okay, what are you going to do this time?" Zhou Yu began to think about the question of the Lord of Dreams, until now, only the Dark Castle had been following Keiji Hojo, but it was not so easy to kill the Dark Castle, and he, Seven Times Retribution, and Braised Lamb's Knee could not do it.
I don't know if the stand-in of braised lamb's knee can be done, I don't know what the reason is, she hasn't used a stand-in in the battle just now, could it be the kind of stand-in that Ziyan will hurt her teammates? The name Sick Angel sounds scary, and there must be some reason why she doesn't use a stand-in.
"We're going to put out the fire." Keiji Hojo dug a pit in the Dark Castle and threw all the people he killed into the pit and buried them.
"Fire extinguishing? We're doing good. Zhou Yu laughed, do good deeds, those stand-in messengers won't come to interfere with them, right?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It's lunch break, and children at the shelter have to lie in their beds and report to the toilet regardless of whether they can fall asleep or not, otherwise it's a violation.
Keiji Hojo led them to the back of the music classroom and waited for the fire.
The stewed lamb's knee pulled Zhou Yu aside and asked in a low voice, "Do you think Charon will come out?" β
Zhou Yu shook his head: "I didn't see any signs of coming out." β
"What are the conditions?" Braised lamb knee asked again.
"I don't know, to be honest, I'm here to see how you perform the mission, so far, it's similar to me, I don't know how to get Charon out, but he looks smart, and looks at us differently from other dream characters, it seems to be...... Curious about us. Zhou Yu carefully recalled Baker's dreams, especially the changes in Hanoke after the phone call.
Braised lamb's knee nodded, and then asked, "What special thing did you do in that dream?" β
"No, it's the same as this dream, it's just a few more words, but before you arrived, I talked a lot with Keiji Hojo, it won't be a speech trigger, it could be a certain word, but I don't remember what I said to Baker." Zhou Yu smiled helplessly.
"Then continue the mission, I hope to meet it." The braised lamb knee returned to Keiji Hojo.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The living conditions in the shelter are not good, there are many people in the dormitory, the dormitories are small, and the children sleep in bunks, which is very crowded, and it is warm to sleep in the winter, but it is very uncomfortable in the summer.
After the lunch break, the children came out of the dormitory in twos and threes.
The last to come out were two children, one tall and one short, walking towards the music classroom, the tall one was about seventeen years old, with a face full of acne, and the short one was Keiji Kohojo.
"That's my best friend here, Nishi Kimura." Keiji Hojo looked at the two figures, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Kimura Nishi's status in the shelter is not low, and the two pushed the door into the music classroom, and he immediately began to chase people out, driving out all the people in the classroom, and no one resisted him.
"Kokeiji, look what this is." Nishi Kimura closed the door and pulled out an arm-thick sausage from his arms.
"It's meat!" Keiji's eyes lit up, in the shelter, they could only eat meat once a month, and the amount of meat was only equivalent to two thin slices of sausage, about one-fiftieth of this sausage.
"Let's grill sausages and eat them, eating them raw is easy to have diarrhea." Nishi Kimura picks up a broken chair in the corner, smashes it, and piles up a small pyre.
"So the fire refers to this, and this guy has a lot of ideas." Zhou Yu nodded, there is enough space in the music classroom for barbecue, but there are many wooden instruments on the wall, and there is an old piano in the corner, once it burns, the fire is difficult to extinguish.
Nishi Kimura tore two pieces of paper from the booklet hanging next to the blackboard, took out a match, lit the paper, and stuffed it under the pyre.
The two began to grill sausages, squatting by the fire and swallowing their saliva.
The aroma was pervasive, the oil on the sausages was roasted, dripping on the fire, wisps of green smoke were rising, and the classroom door was suddenly kicked open when the sausages were about to be roasted.
A big fat man stood in the doorway, dressed in a chef's outfit and holding a long pot and spoon in his hand.
Kimura Nishi's face changed drastically, and Kokeiji was also terrified.
The fat chef walked in with a smile, closed the door again, and said viciously: "Sure enough, it was you who caused me to be scolded by the boss." β
Kimura Nishi stuffed the sausage into Xiao Keiji's hand, picked up a stool with a sneer, and said, "Our meat is all eaten by you, look at you eat like a pig, what's so great about the sausage with fewer roots." β
The fat chef was furious and walked over with a pot and spoon, and Kimura Nishi came up with a stool to meet him and shot together.
"You killed that fat chef?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.
Keiji Hojo shook his head: "I accidentally killed Nishi Kimura." β
"But you said you came to put out the fire, not to stop you from killing, do you want to kill your best friend?" Zhou Yu asked in surprise.
