Chapter 368: A Family

Without saying a word, Shikamaru climbed over the courtyard wall, rushed to the house inside the courtyard wall, pushed open the unlocked door, and saw a terrifying scene.

The lights weren't turned on in the room at night, but Shikamaru could see everything in the room.

The light source that allowed Shikamaru to see his surroundings came from the thick pinkish-purple color of the darkness, which was deposited on the floor of the room like a fairy mist.

Since they weren't gases or even any entities, the wind generated when Shikamaru opened the door didn't blow the colors, instead the colors moved closer to Shikamaru's feet.

Shikamaru didn't have time to care so much, and rushed straight into the room, shouting something like whether there was anyone or not.

As he walked into his room, Shikamaru passed by the dining room and saw the sink against the wall in the dining room.

At this time, the faucet on the sink was not turned off, and instead of the clear water that kept flowing from the faucet, it was a pinkish-purple water, which was more colorful than the pond in the woods.

Not only that, but the pink-purple pillars of light floated together in the narrow drain of the sink, which was already very dazzling in a slightly dimly lit room.

Shikamaru was sure that the pink-purple pillar of light was not the colors themselves that seemed to have life, but simply the phosphorescent light emitted by those wonderful colors.

The light emitted by these colors alone can form such a figurative pillar of light, and you can imagine how rich the color is under the supposedly dark drain.

It was impossible for such a huge amount of color to develop in just one day, but Shikamaru really didn't find any traces of these colors on the ground during the day, except for a few tomatoes.

In other words, these colors will hide in dark hiding places during the day, such as the bottom of ponds, underground cisterns, sewers, etc., and will not emerge from dark places until night.

This is evidenced by the drain that emits a pillar of light.

Moreover, the water source of the faucets of many villagers in Star Ninja Village is groundwater, and what will happen if you drink this water polluted by color?

At this time, in the darkness deeper in the house, Shikamaru suddenly heard a whisper of a human.

Ignoring these colors that were constantly flowing with the water for the time being, Shikamaru immediately came to the bedroom, followed by Ino and Akido Dingji.

Entering the bedroom, Shikamaru immediately saw a terrifying object on the bed in the bedroom that could only be seen in nightmares.

That's a person...

No, that's two people!

Shikamaru could only vaguely tell that it was a human body for the first time, but he couldn't tell how many people it was.

Because these two people are glued together in an extremely strange posture!

In terms of physiognomy, it was a mother and a child, except that the child's face was glued to the mother's shoulders, his hands were sticking out of the mother's back, and his feet were sticking out of the mother's left side of the abdomen.

It's a misshapen combination similar to that of a conjoined baby, except that the adhesion is more disordered and twisted than that of a conjoined baby, like two tangible pieces of chocolate that are heated to a half-melt and then put together again.

"Ahh

Seeing this, Ino was the first to cry out, and his violently frightened body fell to the ground.

And although Shikamaru and Akido Dingji didn't have too exaggerated body movements, the slight distortion on their faces still proved that they couldn't believe their eyes either.

[Get 2100 shiver points from Shikamaru in Nara!] 】

[Get 2230 shiver points from Akido Dingji!] 】

The mother and son who were glued together were dazed, almost godless, and their round mouths made "woo-woo" sounds from time to time, and Shikamaru didn't know if the sound conveyed thoughts.

And under their paper-thin skin, it is not surprising to see the color flowing like the ripples on the surface of the water.

Shikamaru couldn't bear to look at this scene anymore, and when he turned his gaze to the side, he saw a man curled up in the corner.

The man was almost completely shrunk in a cloud of color, and Shikamaru immediately stepped forward, only to occasionally alarm the color that was climbing above the man's head.

I saw that the man's body had hardly mutated, but on the arms with his sleeves rolled up, his skin was dry and cracked as if it had been burned by fire, and some of them looked like those lifeless tomatoes in the courtyard, which showed that this man's vitality was also in a slow withering process.

The man threw his hands between his knees, and he might have heard someone breaking into his home, but he didn't react.

Shikamaru stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Hey, are you okay?" ”

The man didn't answer, he was still motionless, and only the alien on the bed who combined the two bodies was making a "whine" sound in the space.

"It's dangerous here, get up and come with us."

Shikamaru said again, but the man still didn't react.

Shikamaru knew very well that this man was not dead, because his body was trembling slightly, but he just couldn't arouse him.

Glancing at the mother-son union lying on the bed next to him, Shikamaru guessed that the mother and son should be the man's wife and child.

Now that his wife and children have become like this, the mind of any ordinary person should completely collapse.

Knowing that the man in front of him had lost all his faith in living, even if he forcibly took him out, he was just a walking corpse, and Shikamaru would not force it.

"Let's go."

"But, Shikamaru, these people..."

Qiu Dao Dingji looked at the people in front of him, these are all living human lives, and he can't just turn a blind eye to it.

Akido Dingji, who seems to have a rough face, is actually the kindest in the center of the three of Pig, Deer and Butterfly, so kind that he was even considered unfit to be a ninja at one time.

Shikamaru also knew that Akido Dingji couldn't stand it, so he walked to the bed and said, "It's too late, all we can do is give them a relief." ”

The mother and son's bodies were completely polluted with color, and their bodies were so integrated that even the most sophisticated surgical operation in the world could not separate them, so it was undoubtedly a great pain to lose their minds and become whimpering monsters.

All Shikamaru can do is give them a relief.

Shikamaru slowly lifted the kunai in his hand, but suddenly saw a glimmer of crystal in his mother's eyes.

It was a tear, probably a tear covered with gratitude.

But just as Shikamaru was about to put the kunai down, and Ino behind him twisted his face away, a voice sounded from the ground next to him.

"Wait a minute!"

The man who had been silent until now finally spoke, and he slowly stood up and looked at Shikamaru with a pale face and slightly distorted facial features.

"Let's do it with me, after all, we're family..."

Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding, and handed the kunai in his hand to the man.

However, the man shook his head, and instead of taking the kunai, he bent down and groped for a firewood knife in the mist of color on the ground at his feet.

"I have..."

Shikamaru realized that the man had long wanted to give his wife and children a relief, but he couldn't do it for a long time.

However, Shikamaru's appearance allowed the man to regain a trace of his sanity and helped the man make up his mind.

"Then I'll leave this place to you, and after settling the matter here, let's leave the village quickly."

"Well, thanks, I see."

The man replied with a smile on his face, but as for whether the man would leave the village or not, Shikamaru didn't know.
