Glouover snorted.

"At the very least, you can stop the others from killing," the zombie glared at the front:

"That's help. ”

Cohen smiled wryly and didn't answer.

"No," it was Tails who spoke, which made Glover's mood to retort fade: "Trust me, zombie. ”

"That's not. ”

Tails shook his head:

"Kill and help, they look alike. ”

Tyers said quietly:

"There are also many people who say that as long as you kill the murderer before he kills him, it is equivalent to saving the person who is going to be killed by him, and the problem will be solved. ”

"But trust me, Karon. ”

"Those are two different things. ”

"There's a long way to go. ”

Gloveno didn't answer, but thought to himself.

At this moment, Lejok's sneer came.

"Don't be kind, young masters,"

"There is no one in this world who deserves or expects your salvation. ”

The killer of the Brotherhood raised his hand and reached out to the surrounding dilapidated houses:

"Look: this is our life, it has always been like this, and it never needs to be changed—let alone salvation. ”

"Someone as arrogant as you can't save anyone. ”

Cohen's brow tightened.

"You know, I have a friend, a very good friend, who grew up in a similar environment, and when I asked her, she also sneered and told me, give up," Cohen said to Lejok in a dull voice:

"The world is like this, it's self-contained, it has its own rules, and it's good that I can be on my own. ”

"Acknowledging the rules, accepting the rules, adapting to the rules, using the rules, controlling the rules, only in this way can the rules be reformulated in the future. ”

Tails clenched his fists, and at that moment, he thought of the words of two people who were very different but unanimous:

Hold on to your sword, don't lose it. 】

What you need to do is not to make amends, but to control. It's not about standing on this high wall and sighing for a long time, but leaning on this high wall and riding the wind and waves. 】

Cohen sighed.

"She always said that, and then picked up the knife and took the scum who I caught in and released......"

Cohen reacted, and he shook his head knowing that he was speechless:

"I'm sorry. ”

"Your friend," Lejock said nonchalantly, as if that were his manpower guidelines:

"She was right. ”

"At least. ”

The killer glanced at the vigilante officer:

"Much more effective than your mother-in-law. ”

But Cohen shook his head.

"But all the same," he said bitterly, "she can kill." ”

"But they can't save people. ”

"Me and her, we often quarrel over this. ”

Tails chuckled.

"Believe me, Cohen, it's not your fault that you're arguing," the boy looked up and sighed.

"Even in a few thousand years, there will still be people fighting about it. ”

Cohen shrugged.

"Maybe. ”

He sneered a little self-defeatingly:

"So I don't know...... Don't know what to do. ”

"I used to talk about these troubles to my colleagues, my bosses, and even my boss's bosses. ”

"But each time, they patted me on the shoulder with tolerance and compassion and told me that they understood, because they were also like me, just as young, just as hot, just as hard, just as ...... Confused. ”

Cohen's tone darkened:

"And then, after a long time, when they come back one day, they will ......."

"Give up," said Glover hoarsely, "and they give up." ”

Cohen nodded unconsciously.

"Either they are accustomed to being insensitive, or they are in the middle of the middle to take advantage of the same stream, or they are not concerned about themselves, or they are self-conscious...... Even if there are sporadic newcomers, they are slowly assimilated in the daily rules and systems, hard work, fruitless returns, and thankless work, and lose their original self......"

Leyoke snorted.

"It's unbelievable, these words were actually said by a young master who was of noble birth and never worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation......"

He glanced at Cohen.

"I promise you, Greenskin," the Silent Killer said lightly:

"If I want to kill you in the future, I will be sharper with my sword. ”

Cohen sneered nonchalantly.

"If I want to kill you, I'll leave you with a whole corpse," Glover coldly shot back for the vigilante:

"For your tour guide on this time. ”

Leyoke looked coldly.

"I don't think anything matters......"

Cohen sighed:

"The West Ring District, the Lower City District, the West City Gate, these should be my jurisdictions, and I should be the guardian here. ”

He looked up haggardly and looked at the dirty road in front of him:

"But the truth is, they're like my nemesis. ”

"Swallow all my fantasies. ”

Glofo pursed his lips, and Leyok looked triumphant.

Tails looked at Cohen sadly.

"I'm trying to make a difference," Cohen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"But ......"

His fist suddenly loosened, and his whole body was lost.

"Maurice, fat man, and you, Your Highness, you have made me understand that I am fighting more than crimes. ”

Cohen was stunned:

"I don't know, I don't know if the things I've done have worked...... I myself sometimes wonder if I'm really a stupid fool doing useless work, as they say, a stupid vigilante. ”

Tails couldn't bear to look at him, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

"Even changing the position of a certain flower pot in the Alert Hall," Cohen smiled, his smile a little bleak:

"There's nothing I can do. ”

Gloover couldn't help but speak:

"You are the eldest young master of the Karabi Yang family, if you can't do it......"

"You're right," Cohen looked at him, shook his head with a wry smile:

"Because I am the heir of the Kalabyan family. ”

"But ......"

Cohen slowly lowered his head.

"I only have a sword, and I am alone. ”

The vigilante officer looked at his family heirloom saber and sighed:

"But it has to face its own cut wound. ”

"It's so hard. ”

Tails sighed in the same way.

"Do you remember the girl in the apothecary," said the prince softly:

"Yanni. ”

The three of them turned their heads.

"She only has one pair of hands," Tails looked down at the increasingly uneven pavement beneath his feet, and counted the pitfalls with all his heart:

"Just as you only have a sword. ”

"Who do you think is harder?"

Cohen froze.

But Tails didn't say anything more, he just stared at the road under his feet.

This material, this foot feeling, this ...... Direction.

It's getting closer.

A sense of familiarity and panic hit him at the same time, making him reluctant to look up.

But there will be a time when the road will be finished.

"Here we are. ”

As if only a second had passed, Leyok's cold and lonely voice sounded in his ears:

"This is the abandoned house. ”

"Beggars are generally ......"

Abandoned houses.

Tails stiffly stopped his trembling and looked up.

Familiar facades, familiar trenches, familiar rows of dilapidated houses......

Well?

Almost at the same time, Cohen and Lejock's faces changed.

"Strange. ”

Cohen looked at the rusty iron door of the abandoned house.

"What's wrong?" said Glover.

Cohen stepped through the iron gate and looked in front of him: rows of old and crumbling houses, inside and outside, many ragged and dirty people looked up at them numbly.

The vigilant officer frowned and said:

"It'...... There are people inside. ”

Gloover snorted coldly:

"Nonsense. ”

"No, no, no, you don't understand," Cohen explained, "I've been on patrols with the Guard Department in the past few years, and the abandoned houses have always been empty - the scum can always move ahead of time, including the countless street children under their control, and nothing can be caught. ”

Cohen walked forward, confused:

"I've just, never seen it inhabited. ”

Tails followed him, frowning.

They walked on terrible dirt roads and past rows of stone houses that had fallen into disrepair.

"It's all old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

Croover walked through a room and looked inside:

"And the homeless - beggars too. ”

But Tails still frowned.

They turned a corner and walked on the path that the boy knew all too well: the eighth, the fourteenth, the second......

Tails struggled to tune his breathing.

On the road, by the door, and under the eaves, there were poor, poor, scrawny people sitting and lying, and some hoarsely holding out their begging hands to them.

"Not true. Lejok kicked away a homeless man who reached out to touch his boots, and finally couldn't help himself.

"The abandoned house is not right. ”

Glover turned his head with disdain:

"What's wrong with you?"

Leyoke shook his head:

"I haven't been here much in the past few years, but ......"

He looked around warily:

"The management of abandoned houses should not be so lax, there are ......"

"As is customary, there should only be beggars and thugs here. ”

"And there shouldn't be so many homeless people—some of them aren't Brotherhood at all. ”

Gloover still couldn't understand, but Cohen narrowed his eyes.

It was only Tails, who looked at the abandoned houses that were crowded with poor people, and did not speak.

At this moment, a lazy voice came from a broken recliner next to him:

"Hey, if you want to come and rob, you're in the wrong place. ”

The four turned their heads: a man with the same yellow face and thin muscles, described as pitiful, straightened up from the chaise longue and yawned:

"The ruined house is a ...... of the Brotherhood of the Black Street"

Lejoke's eyes moved:

"Mertesa?"

Hearing the name, the man with the dish on his face trembled.

He struggled out of the recliner, stared at the silent killer carefully, and finally called out the other party's name in a daze:

"Are you...... Leyoke?"

"Yes," Lejork said, recovering from his astonishment.

"Why are you here?"

The face of the man named Mertesa changed several times.

In the next second, he stood up, turned his head and left!

"Hey, wait!"

Leyoke chased after him, and Tails and the others were confused.

"Who is he?"

"The man who joined the Brotherhood in the same year as me, with another boss," Lejock gritted his teeth and chased:

"It's just that I haven't heard of him in a long time - Mertesa, stop!"

Mertesa's steps were limping and unsharp.

"Get out, stay away from me!" the man didn't look back, but he was angry and talked.

Leyoke's eyes were cold, and he suddenly accelerated!

Boom!

With a muffled thud, Mertesa felt a stumbling under his feet, then lost his balance and fell to the ground in pain.

"You forced me," Lejok walked up to him coldly, watching Mertesa roll over in embarrassment, "Now, tell me, how are you here-"

Lejok's words froze.

He saw that Mertesa gritted his teeth and braced himself up with only his left hand.

And the other sleeve of the other party, where it should have been the right arm, was empty.

"See?"

Mertesa turned sideways, blocked his severed arm, and said angrily:

"Of course I'm here, where else can I go!"

Tails and the others rushed to their side.

"What's going on?"

Lejock looked at the other party's sleeve, and then looked at Mertesa's haggard and sloppy look, with a complicated expression:

"Your hands?"

"What happened?" Mertesa seemed to be insulted, but instead of being stunned by the silent killer, he roared loudly:

"You did it on purpose, right?"

Crofo and Cohen looked at each other, unaware of what was happening.

"What? what purpose?" said Lejok, puzzled.

Mertesa's breathing quickened, his eyes red, and he stared at Leyoke.

"Six years ago!"

The man with the broken arm sat on the ground and said bitterly:

"Hongfang Street, one night of war, remember?"

The familiar noun made both Tails and Cohen's thoughts move.

Lejork thought for a moment:

"Of course, we won. ”

"Yes, of course the Brotherhood won," Mertesa shuddered and tugged at his empty sleeve:

"But I lost. ”

Words of hatred flowed from the teeth of the man with the broken arm, and he took a deep breath and turned his head away from them.

Leyoke was silent.

"They say you're missing. ”

Mertesa snorted coldly:

"Yes, I'm missing. ”

"Damn red bandanas, and their goddamn explosions - I was crushed under the rubble for three days, and the patrols dug me out, and I woke up in prison, didn't I disappear. ”

The Big Bang.

Tails looked at Mertessa's right arm, which was broken from the shoulder, with mixed feelings.

"They all said it was a miracle that I survived, but look at this ......"

Mertesa sneered and shook his empty sleeves:

"Is there any difference between a gangster being like this and dying?"

Leyoke looked up and exhaled through his nose, not knowing what to think.

Mertesa gasped resentfully, and the others were silent for a while.

"Mertesa, what's going on here?" said Lejok.

His tone became much calmer.

"What's wrong?" but Mertesa's words were unkind.

Lejok looked up and saw the people around him, either behind the wall or hiding behind the crack in the door, looking at them timidly:

"Abandoned house. Why are there so many homeless people and fraternity people all of a sudden? And beggars......

Mertesa interrupted him impatiently:

"Don't you know? Aren't you the one from Maurice? How could you not know?"

"I'll just kill," Leyoke said, bowing his head:

"It doesn't matter if it's a beggar. ”

Mertesar sneered disdainfully, and the yin and yang became angry:

"Well, you're Morris's favorite after all, look at your little round ass......"

Lejok sighed.

In the next second, the silent killer's face turned cold, and his arm moved!

Boom!

In Mertesa's screams, Lejok wrenched his left arm and pushed his face to the ground.

"Listen, Mertesa, I'm kind to you, not because you have a round ass. ”

The Silent Killer pulled out the blade on his waist with his other hand and said coldly:

"I'm not interested in your broken arm or your bullshit. ”

"Now, answer my question, or I'll make you symmetrical. ”

Cohen frowned, but Glovover held him down tightly and shook his head.

"Hahahaha," Mertesa seemed to be a hard bone, and although the pain was unbearable, he looked back at Lejok with hatred, and two words popped out between his teeth:

"you. ”

Lejok's expression froze, and he pressed Mertesa's face into the dirt.

Right now.

"Moody?"

An old, soft female voice came from the dilapidated house next to her.

Mertesa shuddered!

"Where are you?"

The crowd saw an old woman with a rickety figure walking out of the door tremblingly with a tree branch.

She struggled to reach out into the void, her eyes bewildered, her eyes unusually pale.

"Moody, I can't find our cauldron, the one with less rust and only two notches...... I'm afraid it was stolen by the sixth house again......"

The Sixth House.

Tails was in a trance.

Until the old woman's branch clicked on the ground and called him back to reality.

"Mom, go back!"

Mertesa struggled to get his mouth out of the dirt, and cried out anxiously:

"Now!"

Lejok looked at Mertesa below him in amazement, and then looked up at the old woman.

Tails saw the old woman's expression, and his expression also changed.

"But we still have to hold water for cooking, and there are no containers......" The old woman, whose eyes were white, stretched out her hand in confusion, turned her head to this side, and listened carefully:

"What are you doing, who's with you—"

The old woman's words froze.

"Damn. ”

She turned her pale eyes in Lejok's direction and grimaced.

"Whoever you are," the old woman seemed calm and calm at that moment:

"We don't have any money. ”

Mertesa struggled harder, but he couldn't resist in front of Lejock without losing an arm.

Lejock just looked at the old woman in front of him suspiciously.

"Look at Moody, not only has he lost his right hand, but he is not even able to make the right half of his body," the old woman sighed.

"How else can I make money?"

"You can't grab anything. ”

Lejock was silent.

But the old woman's words seemed to annoy her son.

"Damn it, Mom!"

Mert Shaman's face is humiliated:

"Shut up and go back to the house!"

But the old woman turned a deaf ear to Mertesa's words, and said calmly in the direction of Lejork:

"If that doesn't stop you. ”

"My old woman has a little friendship with the people of the brotherhood, and Moddy is also a member of the club, in case of blood, the scene is not good. ”

After a few seconds, Leyok silently put away his weapon and let go of Mertesa.

He looked at the old woman, and his tone was much better:

"Mama Beth, you...... Your eyes, they're blind?"

"Blind!" the old woman opened her eyes, as if she had heard some big joke:

"My ears are good enough to hear that there are four of you—three of them with weapons. ”

The old woman's words paused.

"Wait, you know my name...... So, you're one of the little cubs in the club?"

Lejok sighed.

"Don't worry, I'm just passing by," Leyoke looked down at the blind old woman Beth, bowing her head in disappointment:

"By the way, look at old friends. ”

But the old woman named Beth did not pay attention to him, but asked her son:

"Moody?"

"I'm all right, Mom!" said Mertesa, who had escaped from the trap, sitting on the ground, gasping for resentment:

"I said, you fucking go back to me!"

The old woman sneered.

"Maybe I'm not your real mother, Murdy, maybe I'll have to rely on you to remind me now so I don't trip over the steps. ”

In the next second, Beth's branch slammed on the ground, and her voice suddenly increased:

"But at least, I didn't let you freeze to death on the road or suffocate in the sewers while you were still a little bitch who could only cry, so give me a fuck - be respectful!"

The old woman's fierce roar made people shudder.

Mertesa rubbed his forehead in pain, helpless and uncomfortable.

"Ahhh......h

Mertesa gave up her desire to talk back to her mother, and sighed:

"Well, I'll talk to the sixth room about the broken pot! Now please, go back to the house!"

Tails and the others looked at each other.

"That's good, that's good," Beth, replying to the old woman's characteristic weakness, slumped to her feet and muttered turning, "Brotherhood, brotherhood, ha." ”

"How much more do we owe them......?

"Mom!" Mertesa began to roar again.

Beth snorted softly and stretched out a branch to find her way:

"Then you have to catch up, after all, this may be the last time. ”

"The last one?what?"

Lejock glanced at Mertesa's mutilated body:

"He's terminally ill?"

Beth trembled and touched the earthen wall, "No, I mean you. ”

"If you enter the Brotherhood, you won't live long. ”

Lejok stared at Beth steadily.

"Mom!" was Mertesa's untold shout.

But at the same time, there was another voice:

"Old woman!"

Beth's figure froze.

The old woman turned around slowly, with an interesting expression: "Ah, a young voice, crisp, powerful, still changing voices. ”

"Fifteen years at most. ”

Tails stepped forward and stared at the old woman:

"You say, your name is Beth?"

The blind old woman turned her head and sniffed a few times in the direction of Tails:

"The taste of luxury, but there is a familiar feeling, and there is a little bit of fat powder, why, just came back from Hongfang Street?"

But Tails ignored her.

"You said you were from the Brotherhood," Tails stared at Beth's face:

"Why haven't I ever heard of you?"

Beth opened her mouth and smiled dumbly.

"Maybe it's because you don't have hair underneath yet?"

Glovo and Cohen looked strange.

The old woman's expression then became stern, and she raised her voice in the direction of Tails:

"And your little chick is still as soft as a caterpillar, and can't get its own?"

"Impolite little?"

Mertesa said bitterly:

"Mom!

Beth snorted coldly, her white eyes were not shining, but they made people feel a chill down their backs.

"Little cub, go find Maurice in this neighborhood and ask him: Have you heard of 'Black-Hearted Widow' Beth!"

"Ask the other ungrateful bitches in the Brotherhood how many of them haven't been spanked by me!"

Tails was silent.

"I see. ”

He quietly looked at Beth's face, looking for a flashing memory from his childhood, and grinned:

"Thank you, I'll remember. ”

"Mama Beth. ”

Tails repeated Leyok's name.

"It's better not to," said the old woman, without appreciation, coldly:

"Woman, I'd rather be cleaner. ”

Slowly but skillfully, she stepped over the dirt pit on the ground and disappeared behind the wall, leaving only a fierce voice:

"Moody, don't forget that pot!"

Tails watched silently as the old woman left, as if returning to the beginning.

When he first remembered the events of this world.

[Look at you, little brat, crying, damn it, why don't you cry...... Don't be stupid...... No, it's better to be stupid, I'll worry about it......]

At that time, the other party's voice was not so old, but it was as rude and harsh as it is now.

[You have to call me Mama Beth, Mama, you know? Even if you are prosperous in the future, I am also the one who raised you......!

At that time, Beth's face was full of disgust, but there was also a hint of awe.

[Well, Tails, that's your name...... Don't think it's good, I know it's not good, but that's not what I did...... It's okay, if I raise you to a long enough age, I'll be freed and save myself nightmares......]

At that time, the Brotherhood's nursery nests were dark, cramped, damp and shabby.

[Okay, okay, you take him away quickly, I don't want to see him again in my life...... Why? Haha, you don't believe me either, but ah, he's destined to make a big mess......]

【Monster calf born by monsters......】

At that moment, Tails opened his eyes and buried all the clear or vague fragments deep in his heart.

There is also a chapter that can be written around half past twelve.

(End of chapter)
