In the deep darkness of the night, it was pitch black on the winding mountain road, and only the staggered high beams illuminated countless intertwined figures. Amid piercing screams and roars, the silhouette of hideous shadows reflected on the blood-stained asphalt.

It took less than half a minute to knock out the first ten people. Those who flew upside down screamed and fell to the ground, convulsing and unable to get up. Then, it took forty seconds to knock out the next ten people.

And then another minute, two minutes......

"Forty-one, forty-two, forty-three......!

Forty-three times with all his strength, ignoring the bats and blades that fell on his head and body, Ueno gasped as hard as he could, raising his eyes to look at the enemy in front of him.

They swayed in the icy glow of the headlights, surrounding them like monsters with teeth and claws in the dark.

I couldn't see where the people were, only a shadow of change kept flashing in front of me.

"Die, monster!" someone jumped up and smashed a baseball bat with a spike on his head, and in a moment of turmoil, his eyes slightly drowsy.

Immediately after, the bat was held.

Ueno raised his hand, picked up the bat in his hand, and took the person on the other end, looked up at the blank face, and grinned: "So you ...... here"

In mid-air, the bat was pulled out, aimed at his head, and slashed.

The sound of bats and bones breaking overlapped.

Forty-four!

Ueno roared.

"Come again!" he hissed, "Come again!"

And then, forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven!

The brutal count continues!

But the roaring voices were gradually moving away, as if they had become blurred along with the world in front of them.

In the end, all that remains is monotonous and persistent counting.

"Sixty-one...... Sixty-two ...... Sixty-three ...... Sixty-three ...... Sixty-three ......"

From his sluggishness, Ueno stepped forward stiffly, his blood-red eyes out of focus staring at the enemy in front of him, staring at the pale and twitching face.

But there was a sharp sound of tires rubbing against the ground, and the lights were rapidly approaching, and immediately after, the sky and the earth began to rotate and shake rapidly.

Suddenly, the earth leaped up and slammed into his head.

He rolled and fell to the ground, heard a distant scream, someone pushed the car door, and cheered excitedly: "He's dead! He's dead! That monster is dead!"

His eyes widened blankly, not understanding what was happening.

What, am I dead?

"Not yet, Ueno. The man sitting next to him said, "You are still alive." ”

Am I still alive?

"yes, aren't you breathing?" the man lowered his head and looked at him, full of approval: "It's not over yet, you can't fall here." ”

Am I down?

"Yes, the enemy is still in front of you, Ueno. ”

The voice full of anticipation came: "Can you continue to fight?"

In confusion and drowsiness, Ueno listened blankly, couldn't help it, and let out a laugh.

There was no answer.

Only the fist with twisted fingers slowly raised, blood-stained scarlet, from the screams and roars, a cold light bloomed, illuminating every pair of frightened pupils. ‘

"Come on. ”

Ueno grinned, bared his shark teeth, and smiled happily at everyone - go tell them that it's not over yet, and I can keep fighting!

Sixty-four!

It was a crisp punch.

The intermission is over, everybody...... Brutal counting, start again!

After that, there was no sound, the roar was gone, the wail was gone, all that remained was the cracking sound of bones colliding with each other, the murmur of blood fusing with blood.

"Ninety-one...... Ninety-one ......"

At the end of the day, the blood-stained man stepped forward, staring at the last enemy in front of him with his empty pupils, and then showed a terrifying and fanatical smile.

Ignoring him on his knees, he bowed his head in horror and begged for mercy.

Dropped the last iron fist.

The high-pitched screams spread, piercing the deep night, and the kneeling enemy closed his eyes in despair, but it was not expected to usher in the expected horror shock.

When the man opened his eyes, he saw a fist hovering in front of him.

The last strength of the end of the crossbow is no longer enough to touch the last opponent when it falls.

Only a wisp of blood dripped from the shattered finger tiger and landed on his face, crushing the last ray of reason with a thousand powers.

The man slumped on the ground, twitching, and the light of water spread from under his crotch. In front of the opponent who was like the evil ghost Shura, he no longer had the courage to raise his weapon.

"Ninety-two. ”

The voice from behind Ueno put a final stop to the struggle. When he turned his head blankly, he saw a smile from the group leader.

"Congratulations, Ueno. Huai Shi said, "I can be on my own." ”

Ueno was stunned for a long time, and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't even have the strength to support his body, and he staggered and fell.

Huai Shi reached out and took his arm and held him up.

When I turned around, I saw the cars parked in the distance on the mountain road behind me.

The members of the League who returned after the dinner were ......

In the distance, the team leaders were silently smoking cigarettes and standing quietly in the dark, witnessing the beginning and end of this struggle.

Soon, there was a crisp applause, not only from somewhere, but soon, the applause spread.

Abandoning prejudices and unhappiness, these men who belong to the extreme path offered congratulatory gifts in the most straightforward way to celebrate the completion of this terrible trial.

The birth of a real man.

"See, Ueno? Huai Shi turned around and told him seriously: "You are amazing today." ”

It is true that the Raven of the Shadow was able to enter Ueno's body through the power of the young master, multiplying his strength and not knowing fear. But this power is not endless.

By the fortieth man onwards, the essentia and power given by the Iron Crow had been exhausted, and all that remained was exuberant vitality.

Everything Ueno has done since then...... It all comes from his own will.

It's a miracle that belongs to him alone.

When Ueno woke up again, it seemed like a long time had passed, and he had already returned to the car, as if he had had had a long dream, and he opened his eyes and didn't know what had happened.

This time, it was Huai Shi who drove the car, and he sat in the co-pilot.

In a drowsy and sleepy state, he looked out the window at the neon lights that gradually crossed by.

"Boss, what happened to me—I just now?" he asked softly, "I see, I have gained a lot of power......

"It's magic, Ueno. Huai Shi replied.

In a daze, Ueno couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that you, boss, are you a magician-like person?"

"Well, almost, isn't it? Believing in the heart is magic......

Huai Shi said casually, flipped through the plastic bag in his hand, and handed over the things: "Do you drink beer? It's still icy, specially left for your ......."

"Okay. ”

Ueno took the beer, enjoying the cold touch in his hand, sniffing the wheat and smiling.

In this way, from the unspeakable sleepiness, he fell into a deep sleep.

.

Before dawn, the news of the explosion spread through the ears of the entire alliance.

Just a few hours ago, under the witness of all the alliance bosses, the previously ordinary 'shark man' Ueno Shiro actually single-handedly overturned the entire Kuroda group with one enemy of ninety-two.

Even the big man of the Arakawa family was shocked and praised left and right: "You all have to see clearly, this is the real man." ”

For a time, Shiro Ueno was in the limelight.

Even the Huai Paper group couldn't believe that Big Brother Ueno, who used to drink and brag with him, was so brave, and there was an endless stream of visitors.

Ueno, who still had bandages on his hands and feet, leaned on the bed, and his eyebrows fluttered to tell others about his heroic performance last night, and when he talked about the excitement of the boss's encouragement, he also picked up the beer on the bedside table and took a sip, and then asked someone to add some ice cubes.

It always makes people feel like he could drink last night's can of beer for a whole year.

"Hey, by the way, what about the paper boss?"

After repeating the story of his brave fight against the Kuroda group eight times, Ueno patted his head and finally remembered this stubble.

"Ah, the paper boss is still in the office, and he came early today. A younger brother said, "It seems that there is something important to order, and today I will talk to the people in the group one by one." ”

"I've been there just now!" The person next to him interjected, holding a banana in his hand, and boasting excitedly: "The boss of the paper actually knows my name, and asks how my family's life is, even my two younger sisters know." Oops, the two stinky girls of Renaka and Tomoeda even got gifts. ”

As he spoke, he took out the box of hardcover crayon sets in his arms and showed them off, and others were not willing to let people touch them if they wanted to.

Overjoyed.

"You must have increased your salary this shit!" someone looked at it suspiciously, and immediately slapped the table: "No wonder I'm so happy, my mother has a treat tonight!"

"Tonight?" the man who spoke snorted, "Do you dare to go tonight when I have a treat?"

"Ha, you dare to invite guests, don't I dare to eat?"

"Don't you know? Mr. Otaku said that he had already booked a place, and that the boss would invite all the old members of the group to drink in the evening. The middle-aged man who smoked flicked the cigarette ash, turned around and patted the shoulder of the young man behind him: "It's good to be old, it's useless for you to be envious of Ushijima, let's stay up for a few years!"

The yellow-haired young man known as Ushijima scratched his head in embarrassment, laughed, and hurriedly waved his hand humbly, not daring to compare with his predecessors.

Seeing the topic leave him, he smiled funnily on his face, but the corners of his eyes couldn't hide the disdain in his heart.

Envy? Envy a fart!

It seems that I envy you idiots for being able to eat, and that guy Aso, who has been out to mix for so many years, has shed a lot of blood and worked hard, and the team leader is afraid that the luxury cars have been changed several times, and as a result, I am happy to give you a crayon at will, and I am afraid that there is something wrong with my brain.

How did this group of critics become extreme?

He began to doubt from the bottom of his heart, and deeply realized that he couldn't talk to the group of critics in the Huaizhi group.

The phone in his arms vibrated slightly, and he made an excuse to go to the toilet and left the room. When I walked into the toilet and found that there was no one inside, I went inside and pretended to pee and picked up the phone.

"Why did you pick up so late?"

The voice on the phone asked.
