11. Cursed children
The morning sun shines through the clouds in a ribbon on the earth, and a new day begins.
Coming out of the company where he was temporarily living, Lingguan stretched out lazily, carrying a katana wrapped in a sword bag, and strolled around the street casually.
The TV on the street was playing the figure of the Son of Heaven.
She elaborated on the idea and proposition of the "Gastrea's new law" with a stern expression, hoping that people can establish more protection systems on the basis of guaranteeing the basic human rights of "cursed children".
However, just looking at the expressions of the people on the street who were also listening to the news, Zero knew that this law would be difficult to enforce.
In the past, the "cursed children" would be smuggled to the river and drowned in the water without even opening their eyes. Even if they don't drown or are taken home, they are vulnerable to cruel abuse from their parents who are far beyond what humans can bear because of their ability to reproduce. During the high incidence of this kind of thing, it is common to see the corpses of abused inhuman-shaped girls in small alleys and other places.
In addition, it is said that parents who have been replaced with "gastrea shock" -- the after-effects of war in which they will go into shock when they see red eyes are said to be unable to look at their children squarely. Moreover, because the genetics are contaminated by the virus, even if the paternity test is carried out, there is no way to prove the blood relationship, so some people even question whether they are human beings recognized by the law.
It can be said that almost all of the survivors of the Great War era were differentiators of the "cursed children", and that the number of people who really stood on the same side as them was very small, so it would be strange if the new law could be used in this situation.
"Huh!?"
When he unintentionally turned around, Zero Guan noticed that a human wall appeared on the other side of the road. There was a roar from the human wall, which seemed to come from underground, and the onlookers exuded a chilling murderous aura.
"Catch that guy!"
A rough roar resounded all around, and almost at the same time, a young girl tore through the wall and rushed out of it. She holds a supermarket shopping basket full of groceries in her hand.
The direction in which the girl rushed over was exactly Zero's side.
The outfit on the girl's body is a belted denim skirt and a stylish white tight top. It's just the same as her dark face. Her body was covered in patched marks and stains, and she hadn't been cleaned for an unknown amount of time. The burgundy color of the pupils indicates that the girl is a child living in the "peripheral area".
"It's a cursed child!" Zero view suddenly.
Before the girl ran to Zero Guan's side, several adults had already swarmed her up, pushing her to the ground from behind rudely, and the weak screams suddenly reached this side.
Vegetables and fruits are scattered from the basket. Rolled to the ground.
"Let it go!" The girl was crushed on the asphalt road, her upright face twisted, and she made a noise like a wild tiger.
"Stinky thieves, you're the garbage in the Tokyo area!"
"Well done guys! You deserve it, you gastrea. ”
"Stop yelling at the dead, you murderer."
"If you 'Akame' hadn't killed my parents......"
"Die, 'Red Oni'!"
The adults around him became more and more angry, and some even stretched out their feet to step on the girl.
The fire of zero viewing is up, and it flashes past. With one kick, he kicked the outstretched adult out of the air, knocking down a large part of the surrounding human wall at once. In an instant, all the people who pressed the girl jumped up as if they had been burned by fire.
"Hey, what are you doing...... someone angrily accuses Zero Look, but just by looking at the fact that they are at least a few meters away from Zero Look, you know that these guys are purely cowardly.
"A group of unseeded guys have the ability to bully children here, why don't they fight with the proto-intestinal creatures outside the city!" glanced at everyone around him with disdain. Zero Guan walked over and helped the girl up.
The cursed child has a regenerative ability far beyond that of humans, such a blink of an eye. The little girl was pushed down on the road and the wounds rubbed against had healed on their own, and she was looking at Zero Guan timidly.
"This kid is a 'red ghost', be careful of being killed by him!"
"Yes, just now a policeman was beaten half to death just after asking her a few words, I advise you to stay away from her quickly!"
"yes......"
"yes......"
There were constant sarcastic or gloating words from the crowd, and Zero Guan heard the anger in his heart. Although the city was protected from being destroyed by the archagulars by the megaliths, it was not these "cursed children" who were responsible for cleaning up the archaragus that broke into the city. If they weren't fighting on the front line, where would these guys have the life to bully people here?
"Trash!"
Lingguan scolded secretly, reached out to take the girl's hand, and pulled her to the side. The more these guys look at them, the more angry they become. If you look at it any further, it's hard for Zeroview to guarantee that you won't kill them!
At that moment, two policemen walked through the spectators, a scrawny man with glasses and a flat-headed man with a strong physique. Bullying cursed children is very common, so Zero View didn't think of anything when he cut the girl, and now seeing such a pair, Zero View immediately remembered that they were the scum who shot the cursed child.
And judging by their actions, it's certainly not the first time they've done something like this!
"What's going on?"
"Officer, she's a 'red ghost', get her arrested. And this young man, he beat us all for this 'red ghost'! The man who had just been kicked away immediately screamed.
Zero Guan stared at the two officers, keeping an eye on them.
A trace of disgust and ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the two of them at the same time, and seeing this, Zero Guan had a plan in his heart.
"Thank you!"
The thin officer and the adults around him saluted one by one, while the fat officer took out the handcuffs from behind him, and touched the pistol at his waist with the other hand, and shouted: "Don't move, or we will shoot!" ”
"Woo woo......" The girl's face was pale and she trembled with fright.
Seeing this, Lingguan patted her little head as if comforting, and said to the two police officers: "Don't you only listen to one side of the case?" ”
"We know what to do, and we don't need you to teach us." The fat officer shouted, "Give me a good hand to stretch out, or we'll let you know the consequences of helping the Red Oni!" ”
"Trash is trash, it's a waste of my time to talk to you!" Zero Guan shook his head and sighed, originally he still thought that he should not be influenced by preconceived ideas, but now it seems that nothing has changed.
"What! Dare to say that we are garbage! The thin officer's face changed, and he reached out to draw his gun.
"Humph!"
The palm of the hand was released, and the figure of Zero Guan flashed, and when he stepped in with the two of them, the palm full of ripple qigong slapped on the heads of the two people. As a result, the two fell on the spot.
"Kill, run!" Seeing the police being openly attacked, the people around were suddenly run away without a trace.
"Let's go!" Holding a little cold hand, he walked away.
Hit in the head by the ripple qigong, these two police officers will be unconscious for a month, as for whether they will starve to death or something in the process of being unconscious again, zero view doesn't care! (To be continued......)
