Chapter 35: Life in the Shadows

New Tokyo No. 1 Witch Prison.

More than 1,000 witches of varying degrees of erosion are contained here, coming from all over the world, and are contained for crime and the risk of rampage. One tenth of them is executed every year.

"Xincheng Meiyu, there is your letter!" The guard put the letter from Anshin in the temple into the iron box and pushed it into the cell of Shinjo Miyu.

She sat on the floor, erosion scars growing on her neck. The witch of Hokkaido's town guard is now just a deserter and a prisoner, spurned and a walking corpse.

"Who?" Xincheng Meiyu didn't turn her head, her voice hoarse. There is a problem with the medicine in the prison.

"Letter, from the Anxin Temple." The guard said.

"I don't know." Xincheng Meiyu remained motionless.

The guard walked away casually, he didn't care about the witches who were being contained, they were in a trance.

When the dinner was delivered, Xincheng Meiyu slowly crawled over and saw the suppressed letter from under the lunch box.

Zhang Su, Yuan Ori, Reiyang, Saho, Natsuki, True Bow, Muroka...... Murohana ...... Murohana ...... Xincheng Meiyu stared at the names on the mailing column.

Murohua?

A small figure emerged from the depths of the shattered memory.

Komuro Hua in the cradle, Komuro Hua who loves to laugh, Komuro Hua who learns to walk, and Komuro Hua who is sensible......

She threw away the lunch box, grabbed the letter, and opened it with trembling hands.

The words on the letter were familiar and unfamiliar, and Xincheng Meiyu gritted her teeth, picked up the understanding of each word from the broken memory, and gathered them again.

Murohana's letter was written by Komurohua. She wants to understand, she wants to understand the letter written by Murohua!

"Dear Ms. Mitama Shinjo. The weather is warm, and the spring is back, I don't know how you are doing? This letter is specially to show the recent situation of Ling Aimurohua. Murohana has been studying at Anxin Hospital for 7 years, and is in good health except for eye injuries, so please recuperate and wait for the reunion. ”

Murohua's eyes, what happened to Murohua's eyes? Who did this to you? Is it because her own sins have affected her? I'm sorry, Komuro, I'm sorry...... Xincheng Meiyu kept shedding tears.

She couldn't imagine how Murohua would live after she was blind, it was a completely strange world.

"This letter was written by everyone together, and we read it to Murohua, who also read what she wanted to say to you:

"Mom, I miss you so much, I want to go back to a long time ago and touch your face again, I'm sorry, I forgot what you look like. I miss you so much, I want to accompany you, even if we are locked up together, Dad doesn't want me anymore, I only have Mom. It will be many years before we can see each other again, I miss you, I will always wait for you, and when my mother leaves prison, please come and take me home. ”

Xincheng Meiyu only felt that her liver and intestines were broken, and she groped for some bumps at the end of the letter, as if Komuro Hua poked them out herself.

What is it? Xincheng Meiyu was so anxious that she couldn't do it, what did Komuro Hua write in addition to the dictated words?

Xincheng Meiyu stroked her hand through the blind spots, focusing on the touch, which is as difficult as a book from heaven for the untrained.

She tried to make sense of it.

Slowly, with great effort, Miyu Shinjo gathered a hazy jigsaw puzzle in her damaged mind, and these puzzles seemed to bring Miyu Shinjo into Murohua's mind, so that she could hear Murohua's voice.

They were faint at first, but then they became clear, the braille became rhythmic words, and she fantasized about what Muruhua said to herself, many, hundreds.

"Prisoner Xincheng Meiyu, the letter will be recovered after reading it!" The guard approached, and the voice shattered the illusion.

Xincheng Meiyu opened her eyes, and the tears were not dry.

She chewed her fingers, opened the pillow, and wrote a book of blood, preempting the blind spots left by Murohua before the guards arrived.

After returning the letter, Shinjo waited until the lights were turned off.

She lay in the dark, closed her eyes, stroked the blood spots at the bottom of the pillow, and recalled their order and shape.

She wanted to understand Komurohua's blind vision, over and over again.

……

Late at night, the office of the director of the Anxin Hospital.

Lianwu was a little looser, lying on the sofa without any eldest lady's norms, with her feet on the armrests of the sofa, holding her mobile phone in both hands, concentrating, the online world is really exciting.

"The children are not in good health, and I am thinking about how to improve them, and it is better to arrange a medical examination for them all." Zhang Su said.

Lian Wu stared at her phone, didn't raise her head, and pointed to the bag she had placed on Zhang Su's desk.

Zhang Su opened Lianwu's handbag, which was full of her personal belongings, and he searched for a while and found the platinum package card of the Stag Medical Company.

"This?" Zhang Su took out the card.

"~" Lianwu nodded.

Zhang Su registered online, and the platinum services of Stag Medical Company cover a wide range, including whole genome sequencing, epigenetics mapping, annual tracking of customer status, etc. Support services include a 10-minute global trauma team, a private physician and a cutting-edge medical team on call, as well as a witch on the "redemption" pathway.

"It seems that the platinum package can make an appointment for the medical team to come to the door, so I have the right to use it once and let them come to the Anxin Hospital to have a look?" Zhang Su asked.

"~" Lian Wu turned her fingers, it's okay no matter what~ She doesn't care~

Miss Lianwu is really relaxed. Zhang Su said secretly. I'm afraid there is no more comfortable time for her than in Anxinyuan.

At this time, a strange scream came from the deep mountains, breaking the peaceful and happy state of mind of Lian Wu.

“!” Lian Wu sat up from the couch.

Zhang Su walked to the side of the bed and looked at the far-reaching dark Kagura Mountain, I don't know how many creatures escaped the border defense, passed through the wall of Dongzhou, and broke into the world to do evil.

"There seems to be a bad omen outside tonight, go to bed early, Miss Lianwu." Zhang Su turned to Lian Mist.

“?” Lian Wu pointed at Zhang Su, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"I'll let you have a good night's sleep tonight, good night, Miss Lianwu." Zhang Su said.

He would not allow the Anxin to be threatened.

"~" Lian Wu nodded, left the office, and went downstairs to sleep.

Lianwu knew that Zhang Su would do what he said, so she would always have his place in her heart.

She covered herself with a quilt and was relieved......

The moon slowly crept through the black canopy.

Kagura Mountain, following the strange screams in the mountain, Li Yixin and others also tracked down the demon's slaughterhouse,

Li Yixin squatted behind the trunk of an ancient spruce tree and peered through the bushes into the logging camp in the mountains. The cool night breeze gave her arms goosebumps under her coat.

In the silvery moonlight, the empty logging camp looked like the bones of a prehistoric beast, half-sunk deep in the woodland, huge piles of timber that no one dared to recycle.

A phase demon had just killed everyone here, and Li Yi's heart was a step late, and his heart was even more hateful. Everyone under the gates of hell on Mount Kagura is in danger, and it is they who have failed to fulfill their responsibilities.

She glanced at her senior brother Wei Zhi, his face was obscured by shadows, and his eyes reflected the moonlight, like a wandering wolf staring at its prey. On her other side, Soldier Yasuoka melted into the darkness, his camouflage uniform barely visible, and his rifle in hand, which he didn't know if it would come in handy.

At the entrance of the camp, the bodies of the victims were arranged in the shape of six-pointed stars, all torn and ravaged, and the skulls were stripped out, silently proving the evil spirit of the phase demon.

Wei Zhi took out his twin guns, and the bullets made of exorcism alloy could inflict heavy damage on demons.

He made a gesture, and Li Yi had to go to reconnoitre, and Anoka was the queen.

Li Yixin walked to the dilapidated wooden shed on the edge of the camp with the flame light, and his soft-soled shoes did not make a sound.

She stopped outside the shed, her back against the weathered wooden slats, the flames under the moon seemed sharper, but the opponent was a phase demon after all, invisible at any time, flickering at any time, living in the cracks of space......

She opened the door of the wooden shed, and a breath of blood poured out of it, and the cruel scene in front of her seemed to burn her mind.

The mutilated bodies of the two young lumberjacks were crumpled and stacked on top of each other, flesh and bones rearranged and reunited into a skeleton with a face half on the left and half on the left, one old and one young, smiling and sad, the Aspect Demon had intended to leave such art as a mockery before they came.

Yasuoka and Wei Zhi were walking towards Li Yixin as support, and the phase demon suddenly appeared, as dark as night, formless and phaseless, and a fiery blade slashed through the air.

"Danger!" Li Yixin rushed over, Wei Zhi retreated sideways, and Yasuoka hurriedly jumped away.

Yasuoka fired two shots into the air, bullets whirling through the air, and the Phase Demon disappeared into nothingness.

"Such a rapid phase walk...... It has eaten too many souls, and has become too strong, and it is no longer an inferior bastard in the previous intelligence, but a mutant in the phase demon. Wei Zhi frowned.

"We've got to take cover!" Yasuoka pointed to a large house in the middle of the logging camp.

"There are also support ......" Li Yixin held a flame ray and alternated cover with the other two.

She activated the distress communicator and was transferred to the nearest designated unit of the Human Defense Program.

Anxin Hospital.

"——I'm Li Yixin...... We're in trouble. ”

"Where? Don't be presumptuous, wait for me to arrive. Zhang Su said.
