Picture 10 The Old Man's Room

The butcher walked to a pile of rubbles with a low expression, and with an apologetic face muttered to the air about some parents' shortcomings, what ingredients were too expensive to buy, and so on, and then the butcher stuck the boning knife in his left arm, and his right hand pocket was slightly open outward, as if someone was holding its hand.

The cold wind blew the hem of the butcher's torn clothes, and the blood stains slowly dripped down the strips of cloth, forming intermittent blood spots all the way, which made Cen Yu feel disobedient, at this time, the butcher had a rare gentle smile on his face, and it walked very slowly, as if accommodating the person holding his hand.

On this blood-filled ruin, the butcher looks out of place at the moment, and if you don't look at its visually striking appearance, you will think that this is a very ordinary middle-aged old man who goes out for a walk.

I don't know how long I walked, the butcher stopped in front of a small restaurant that seemed intact, and against the background of the surrounding ruins, this small restaurant seemed so abrupt, and if you looked closely, the outer wall of this building was covered with huge cracks, but the cracks were all black unknown objects like liquid, and occasionally one or two distorted and mutilated fog beast faces sank and emerged in it, and the wail seemed to tell the great torture that had been suffered.

Naturally, the butcher opened the half-length door, turned sideways, paused for a few seconds, as if to make way for someone, and then stepped in, the broken door shutting with a clatter.

Cen Yu left a hidden mark not far from the restaurant, and the phantom worm followed in, he looked at the butcher who was in a daze in the kitchen, and decided to go around the second floor of this house, it was obvious that this house contained the butcher's core secret, and it was likely that the butcher had lived for a long time before the disaster.

......

Most of the furniture in the living room was covered with a thin layer of dust, many medicine bottles were stacked on the coffee table, empty wine bottles were placed casually next to the sofa, a few wrinkled clothes were piled up on the sofa, a pair of half-knitted snow-white scarves were pressed under the yellowed calendar of last year, and a little blood was spotted on the scarf, and a person who was seriously knitting a scarf suddenly coughed up blood as if it was right in front of him.

After careful inspection, Cen Yu found many traces of a woman's life here, but those things were neatly placed in a box, as if someone was unwilling to destroy them.

After searching for a while, Cen Yu found a yellowed photo in the sofa, a somewhat distorted picture of a young girl waving somewhere in front of a newly built small restaurant, the girl's appearance was covered with tears and could not be seen clearly, and she could only vaguely see that she was laughing.

After thinking for a moment, Cen Yu decided to go to the bedroom to have a look, he had a hunch that there should be more detailed clues in the bedroom

……

The butcher's bedroom was very simple, a modest bed, the quilt was casually stacked on the bed, and next to the bed was a wardrobe and bedside table against the wall, and the thick curtains seemed to have not been opened for a long time, and it was covered with dust.

When Cen Yu entered the bedroom, the photo on the bedside table attracted his attention, with the gentle wind like water, the elegant and leisurely clouds, and the smiling and squinting girl snuggling up to her lover.

The photographs are very well preserved, as if everything seemed to have happened yesterday, but the light and shadow rotate, everything that was once fixed in the narrow photo, and the years have taken away too much, but only this yellowed photo remains.

Cen Yu was silent for a moment, he already had a rough guess about the butcher's story, a very cliché plot, but this cliché plot is the life of an ordinary person.

Whether it is pain or regret, there is always someone who can't sleep, crying in countless lonely nights.

After his lover left, he was the only one who stayed in place, just like staying in that photo, stubborn he didn't want to believe all this, he kept everything about his lover, and the residual familiarity allowed him to breathe freely in the old time temporarily, pretending that she was still by his side, but ah, the warmest is life, and the most ruthless is life.

After getting the information he wanted, Cen Yu left the bedroom, he had already figured out what to do with the butcher, and then dissolved the illusion, and the veins under the rift began to glow with a dark red light.

As he left the bedroom, Cen Yu took one last look at the photo, and had to say that although the girl's face was not outstanding, her smile was really good-looking, like a brilliant sunflower.

And behind the photo there is a line of delicate words.

"Tangerines love Xiaodu."

......

The butcher sat alone in the back kitchen on the first floor, with a boning knife in his hand but not knowing what to do with it here, the piles of vegetables were already somewhat rotten, there were a few large bones on the cutting board, and the remaining unprocessed meat foam attracted a few flies.

As the owner of this place, the butcher did not know where to go, and when he became conscious, he found himself in the back kitchen, still holding a boning knife in his hand, and the upstairs room, he did not like to go, because every time he passed by above, inexplicable sadness would fill his heart.

As for the past, it has been forgotten, except for one name, which it can never forget, orange... It's as if the mission of coming to this world is for the owner of this name, but it can't remember the appearance of the owner of that name, only remembering that she smiled beautifully, just like a sunflower, and only remembered that she wanted to make food for her, and to use the best ingredients to make her favorite food... Stewed pork ribs?

However, before that, the butcher felt that he should find her first, and his instinct told it that the black mist in the ugly things that looked like ingredients on the outside was the best ingredient, as long as there were enough of them, oranges... It would come out on its own, and when it had collected enough black mist yesterday, it did see a somewhat vague figure appear beside it, so it was even more determined in its suspicions.

But now the ingredients are gone... I also encountered a top-notch ingredient before, and I let it escape... The butcher was at a loss, he wanted to see the orange, but... There weren't enough ingredients, and it felt like it might never see her again.

And at this time, when the butcher was hurting alone, Cen Yu appeared at the door of the back kitchen, and the butcher instantly entered the state after seeing him, dragging the table he grabbed casually and rushed towards Cen Yu, and this time Cen Yu did not directly use the mirror flower water moon, but the bursting spear swept across, dodged to the left, dodged the slash of the boning knife that the butcher hid under the table, and then detonated the bursting spear close to the butcher's body.

The violent explosion pulled the distance between the two, the butcher didn't think much about seizing the opportunity directly, this time it didn't choose to crush the rosary, but put the dry hand on the wall, the black liquid in the crack of the wall became less at a speed visible to the naked eye, the black mist shrouded it, its body began to become more burly, the two pairs of skeletal hands became thicker, and several black mist climbed up the blade of the boning knife, adding a bit of weirdness.

Looking at the appearance of the butcher's two-stage boss transformation, Cen Yu had some feelings, if he could use the Mandate of Heaven, he would not lose so ugly, but unfortunately, whenever he wanted to use the ability of the Mandate of Heaven, he would feel that something was hindering him, otherwise, even if the butcher had another three-stage transformation, it would not be enough to fight himself.

Cen Yu stood in the original, the figure of the butcher in his pupils was rapidly approaching him, he did not choose to dodge, but as if he did not react, he let the butcher stab the boning knife into his body, a collision, the butcher took Cen Yu directly to break through the wall and came to the ruins outside, and the two smashed more than ten broken walls before stopping.

Sen Leng's boning knife was completely submerged in Cen Yu's chest, and black markings quickly appeared on the wound, and the butcher kicked Cen Yu and wanted to pull out the boning knife, but Cen Yu directly held the butcher's cold wrist and looked at the butcher with a cunning gaze that had succeeded in his cunning.

"Juggernaut Mirage."
