Chapter 3: The Man Who Wants to Atone
Riko Saida was so perfect, so perfect that it was unbelievable, at least in front of Kazuki Lonely Gate.
As for why, the reason is simple, she is a doll, the real Riko Saida, who has long since died.
The current Riko Saida is a ghost-possessed puppet, and she continues to live with the line of the behind-the-scenes controller in a daze.
With the rough nerves of Kazuki Lonely Gate, it seems that he will never feel how abnormal it is for Riko Saida to wait for him at the zoo forever.
In the zoo, young Shirley sits next to the doll, the soft light soothing the ghostly ghost inside the doll.
"Take a break, there's nothing you need to do right now, take a good break."
The entire zoo was silent in an instant, and even the darkness behind the puppet could not be noticed at this moment.
On the other side, the lonely door Yihui, the abandoned park he took in a taxi, and the elderly taxi driver talked to the young man about life while driving.
Kazuki just nodded his head while listening to the taxi radio.
"Yesterday, at the suburban construction site, for unknown reasons, Mr. Ka Mei Zhuo, who was in charge of patrolling, disappeared, and at present, the Minami Ono Police Station is searching."
The female reporter's words made Kazuki Gumen very concerned, because the Minami Ono Police Station is his work unit.
"Is it because they are all concerned about the incident at the construction site, so no one pays attention to the complaints of the aunts?"
After getting out of the car, Kazuki Lonely Door muttered to himself.
At this time, a man in a black leather jacket passed by with a sad face.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Because he almost bumped into it, Lonely Door Kazuki hurriedly apologized to the man.
Ji Fuzhun just glanced back at him, and then left tiredly, this morning he ran too far and dealt with a few newborn xenobiotic beasts.
"I want to eat ramen, tonkotsu ramen." As she passed the corner of the street, Ji Fuzhu couldn't help but think of the taste of the pot of ramen last night.
The two of them, who are the heirs of different periods of the bond of light, met for the first time, although they had not yet met.
"It's a little strange......" Lonely Kazuki didn't know why, and he was very concerned about the man in the black leather jacket.
Then Lonely Door Kazuki began to follow the description of Obasan, and went to the abandoned park.
It was also at this time that the screener of the Kanto branch of the TLT passed by Ji and continued to follow Gumen Kazuki.
This caught the attention of Ji Fuzhun, as he had been secretly watching the people of the Tel Kanto branch for a long time, and he also knew that these people were hiding the truth about the xenobiotic beasts.
"Why did you follow that person?" Ji Zhaozhun, who used to be a war correspondent, only hesitated slightly, and followed.
Three people, you follow him, I follow you, but Ji is inaccurate or adaptable, and he is elusive.
So the lonely door of the nervous Lonely Gate did not find the screener, and the screener did not find Ji inaccurate.
Fortunately, Lonely Door Yihui is not a road idiot, and soon found the abandoned park.
"Who are you, get out!" A man who looked a few years younger than Kazuki Lonely jumped out.
He was disgraced, his clothes were thick and shabby, his face was full of vegetables, he was extremely malnourished, his eyes were inflamed, and one arm was weak, and he was probably injured.
"I'm ...... Minami Ono Police Station" can't be said to be brainless, but can only be said to be straight-minded, and the lonely Kazuki began to introduce himself.
So as a thief, the underage thief, who had been worried about being caught by the police, broke through the lonely door and escaped from the abandoned park.
Kazuki Lonely Gate was originally still concerned about the injury on the other party's arm, and one was knocked to the ground carelessly.
He got up and continued to chase the thief.
The screener had no choice but to pull out his feet and run wildly, only Ji was inaccurate, his brows furrowed, and he heard some small sound.
Without hesitation, he walked into the cottage of the management office of the abandoned park.
It's not big, just a few squares, and a younger child, probably no more than ten years old, hides behind a pile of clutter.
The clothes stolen by the thief were neatly stacked aside, just similar to the child's size.
Ji took away the clutter and saw the child who deceived himself and thought he was hiding well looked up.
In the corner is stolen and very frugal food, and most of the unfinished bottle of milk, but you can tell that it has been opened for more than a day by looking at the mouth of the bottle.
Ji Fuzhun said in the child's frightened behavior of holding his head and preparing to be beaten: "Do you want to eat tonkotsu ramen with me?" ”
With disbelief, the child raised his head timidly, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said, "Can ...... May I? ”
He didn't dare to believe in the good intentions of others, such as stray cats and dogs who had been let down.
Ji looked at the pile of stolen food and said, "Let's go, I'm in for a treat!" ”
In Saitama Prefecture in the evening, not too far from the abandoned park, a roadside ramen stall owner cooks two bowls of tonkotsu ramen.
While cooking noodles, he said, "It's a bit of a pity to say, one of my old customers stopped working because of one thing.
I couldn't go there, I didn't tell him I was here, I couldn't get through on the phone, and I felt like my life was no longer fun if he didn't come to eat ramen.
By the way, he still calls me president, hahahaha......"
Ji was still sad and couldn't smile, so the ramen stall owner's smile gradually became embarrassed, and then said to the drooling child next to him: "Come, eat some fish plate first." ”
"What's your name?" Ji asked as he watched the child eat the fish board.
"Ming Chuanday, seven years old this year." The child devoured the fish board given by the ramen stall owner.
Ming Chuanji looked at the ramen stall owner after eating the fish board, and then looked at Ji Buzhu: "Can I take my bowl away and eat it?" I'd like to have an extra pair of fast ......."
Ji Fuzhun didn't speak, just reached out and patted Ming Chuantian's head.
The ramen stall owner was furious, he bypassed the ramen stall, pulled Ming Chuan in his arms and roared: "This is ramen, do you understand ramen?" The romance of ramen lies in the fact that when you come to my ramen stall, I cook ramen for you.
Every ramen stick is just right, and even if you ask for rice to be added to the thick noodle soup like you would at a full-fledged ramen shop, if you can't do it today, it will increase the workload, but I can cook it tomorrow!
But I can't take the ramen away and eat a bowl of ramen in front of me, that's the greatest and highest respect for me, you know! Ramen is such a thing! ”
"Right...... I'm sorry. Mingchuan shrank during the day.
"But if you're done with this bowl of ramen, I can ask you for another bowl, whether it's the guests you bring or you eat it yourself, as long as you're in the city, you'll still be able to find me." The ramen stall owner accepted the apology and placed a large bowl of steaming ramen in front of Akikawa Dayi.
Then he quickly put away the side dishes and served another bowl to Ji Buzhen.
The sound of the two eating ramen sounded, and the boss immersed himself in his ramen stall, enjoying such a world.
The slices of meat that were half submerged in the soup were sandwiched by Ji inaccurate into the bowl of the child, who was also malnourished, but not as excessive as the thief.
"What's your brother's name?" Ji asked inaccurately.
Ming Chuantian immediately stopped eating noodles, became vigilant, unwilling to answer, and flinched.
"I'm not a police officer." After Ji finished speaking, he took a sip of soup while holding the ramen bowl.
"Yeshan Yanli ......," Ming Chuanyu said a name that had nothing to do with his surname.
The ramen stall owners all stopped, as if sensing something.
"Let's go back early when you're done eating." Ji paid the money inaccurately, and then quickly got up.
Because of his arms, the heart-like evolutionary truster began to beat.
"I haven't found any money yet!" The ramen stall owner looked at Ji Buzhu, who was leaving in a hurry, and finally looked at the child Ming Chuan.
"Na, the money refunded to you, and, only this once, no exception!" The ramen stall owner packs a ramen for the kid.
"Thank you...... Thank you! Mingchuan finished the ramen in a hurry, ignoring the boss's words that eating too quickly would cause stomach pain.
Abandoned park at the moment.
Throwing off the lonely door and running back again, Yeshan Yanli had red eyes, and under the inflammation of his eyes that were getting hotter and hotter and couldn't see the light, he slapped the bushes in the abandoned park with his healthy hand, looking for his younger brother.
The management hut he had already seen, no, the stolen food and clothes, were still there.
Fear! Sadness! Suffering! Hate! All kinds of negative emotions are growing in the heart of this teenager who has lost his health and still longs for the future and hope.
Because he can't afford to lose his family and his brother!
Little did he know that his negative emotions, combined with the remoteness of his area, would attract foragers who prey on humans.
Behind the abandoned park of "Zizi ......", a wriggling red slid into the abandoned park.
When the madness brought about by hatred and despair was about to drown Ye Shan Yanli, the emotions emanating came to the extreme.
Negative emotions are the source of the Xenomorph's power, so the Xenomorph opened its huge mouthparts and swallowed towards the Night Mountain!
"Get out of the way!" A voice woke up Yeshan Yanli, allowing him to see the shadow covering him in the faint light.
Ji was glad that he was not too late, and the Evolution Truster took the form of a pistol, and he shot a beam bullet, crushing the Xenobiotic with a single shot.
But it's not enough! Because, once a strong person like Yeshan Yanli collapses, the negative emotions caused by it are like a tsunami in the eyes of the xenobiotic beast.
A large number of small xenobiotic beasts are heading towards this abandoned park!
Ji Buzhun stepped forward to grab the lost soul of Yeshan Yanli, and wanted to be louder at him, but after meeting the poor young man's eyes, his heart softened again.
He said softly: "Ming Chuantian is fine, get out of here!" ”
This sentence activated the soul of Yeshan Yanli, even if he couldn't see the road clearly, Yeshan Yanli still ran out of the abandoned park.
But he still couldn't bear it, turned around and asked in a dry voice, "What about you......"
Ji was stunned for a moment by the child's concern, and then said, "I want to atone for my sins." ”
As if he was telling what he should have done, he led the trust of the Evolver into the depths of the abandoned park.
Expiation......
These two words stimulated the heart of Yeshan Yanli, who was a thief, and he had always been guilty of it, so he let others break his hand.
Leaving the abandoned park, far away, he heard a voice.
"Big brother!" Ming Chuan saw his adopted brother from afar, ran over with ramen, and handed over the ramen out of breath.
Yeshan Yanli pretended that nothing was wrong, and he walked slowly towards it.
When the brothers met, Ming Chuan handed over the ramen, and Yeshan Yanli's face changed.
When he touched the money in Ming Chuan's hand, he knocked down the hot ramen in Ming Chuan's hand that made Yeshan Yanli also yearn for countless times.
With his intact arm, he grabbed Ming Chuanday's shoulder and roared in his ear.
"I said it! I can be a thief, but you can't! You can't! ”
At this time, Ming Chuan Tian understood why Shan Yanli had been avoiding his eyes tonight.
Those eyes were red as if they were bleeding!
