I don't know how long it took, but the firefight stopped.
"...Youye?"
Su Yao caught a glimpse of Youye entering through the half-opened door. Her clothes seemed to have been soaked in blood for a long time, and her whole body was only scarlet and minced flesh.
After a brief calm, people started shouting outside.
"We confirmed through surveillance that there is still a definite surviving survivor in the lobby on the first floor."
"Maybe there are others."
"Whether it's one or two, just listen to me."
"I believe you already know that this is not an ordinary situation. It has become a crisis that has escalated to the entire winter market and even the country. It is no longer possible to capture the target alive or eliminate the target through conventional weapons."
"We have blocked the surrounding airspace and land and dispersed all surrounding residents."
"We...will drop high-explosive bombs at the coordinates here to completely destroy the target to ensure that the impact of the incident will not be expanded and there will be no further casualties."
"If there is an inspector alive as a survivor, please recall the oath you took when you put on the uniform and became an inspector. Don't be afraid and hold your chest high."
"If you are a citizen survivor, I am really sorry that I could not protect you."
"I also know you will hate me when you hear what I say now."
"But please think about it, from my standpoint, there are millions of people in the entire winter market on one side, and there are individuals on the other. I have to give up part of it."
"Please forgive me for the decision I made. We will definitely remember your contribution to the people, give the compensation money to your parents, and properly handle your funeral affairs."
"This decision was made by me first and I am responsible for it alone."
"My name is Toru Yamamoto."
"If you have any complaints, you can take revenge on me any way you want after I die. I'm sorry. At least after I find out your identity, I will remember your name for the rest of my life."
“···”
What does it mean?
"Big brother."
"Youye will protect big brother."
That young and blood-stained little face suddenly burst into a brilliant smile.
The tail on her back stretched out, began to separate pieces of flesh from the skeleton, and expanded more and more, covering Su Yao's entire body.
What will happen?
At some point, Su Yao began to hear a violent vibration of the eardrum, and began to notice a terrifying heat coming from the top of his head.
"boom--"
After the huge explosion, dust and mist filled the sky. The world returned to darkness and calm.
Su Yao suffered from tinnitus for a long time, and after losing that buzzing sound, she never heard any sound again.
But still alive.
Breathing activities are still going on with difficulty.
He saw many people in armed uniforms coming in and forming a circle around him.
Someone was squatting in front of him, opening and closing his mouth. But Su Yao couldn't hear anything and could only stare blankly.
It seemed that he realized that Su Yao couldn't hear what he was saying, so he shut up.
He raised his hands, and everyone followed suit to salute Su Yao. With tears in their eyes, they saluted the countless corpses around him that were charred black and even had only fragments of skin left.
What are you doing?
His body was covered with a layer of charred black stuff, with a snow-white skeleton inside, but now it was almost in pieces.
It was Youye who covered himself with the strongest tail on his body before he died.
However, when they were truly determined to kill You Ye at all costs, something that was so lethal that it could turn the entire Inspectorate into rubble was not something they could stop. In other words, because they had such a sluggish person like themselves,
, she could have escaped, but she didn't.
Why do they look at themselves like that?
Ahhh.
Su Yao understood, because he was about to die. Although his body was still intact, the inside of his body must have been shaken into a mess. No, blood kept flowing from the seven orifices.
He looked into the eyes of everyone present. They showed guilt and pity for the victims.
I also remembered the way the inspector looked at me before he died. It was hatred for the perpetrator.
I remembered the expression Youye looked at me before he died. What was that?
Why protect yourself?
ah.
Because it has a favorability of 100 towards itself. It will not let itself die in front of it. It is precisely because it understands this that it did this.
It was the monster that transformed Xia Xianyue into an unacceptable state.
Now, it is the one who has to work hard to save himself even if he is going to die.
The one who was killed was himself, and the one who was saved was also himself.
There were only corpses scattered on the ground as burial objects.
What went wrong?
Obviously my original intention is to live a normal life away from monsters, so nothing can go wrong.
if it is like this.
So--
“···”
The originally burnt black tail actually moved at a certain moment.
【A mixture of madness and distortion】
[Character: You Ye]
[Favorability: 100]
[Description: I have a lot of affection for you]
Why?
Everyone's expressions changed instantly, and countless guns were pointed at You Ye.
Can't hear anything.
Those people had expressions of disgust and incomparable hatred on their faces, desperately pouring bullets at the tattered Youye.
Su Yao saw a small figure blocking his face again.
Many people died silently.
However, Youye's combat effectiveness had obviously regressed significantly compared to before the bombing, and he was soon seriously injured.
Yu Ye, who was dying, used her tail to protect herself, then opened and closed her mouth.
No sound is heard.
'sorry···'
'Big brother.'
But Su Yao 'heard' her. She was apologizing.
Why apologize?
Su Yao saw several more people with blood on their faces approaching him, staring at him with extremely angry eyes. Likewise, they seemed to be yelling, but Su Yao couldn't hear them at all.
I guess he was asking who he was, being protected by the monster's tail again.
Ahhh.
Who am I?
You Ye was hit again by their frantic last-ditch attacks. Those people used guns and daggers to finally break open the already broken tail. It turned into a puddle of minced meat with the smell of burnt and gunpowder.
Now, the gun is finally pointed at himself, the real murderer behind the scenes.
"Who the hell are you?!"
It was like I really heard someone shouting like this.
Who is he?
"I···"
Su Yao found that Youye's head had been smashed by a gun, and his body was completely destroyed.
Didn't it realize that this was its own doing?
Or do you still believe in yourself even if you find out, and even prioritize protecting yourself?
not understand.
But my words.
"me."
"Actually, he is the monster's accomplice, and he is also a monster."
He couldn't hear his own voice, he was just bleeding and crying, caressing the charred monster corpse next to him.
Why has it become so miserable again?
Who knows?
The only thing he could do was to use his broken body to say these words that they could probably hear.
You can see their expressions changing instantly.
Hate, hatred. Totally undisguised rage.
"Bang bang——"
A imaginary voice. In fact, all I saw was a ferocious expression and tongues of fire.
【You are dead】
【Current node:20150303.07.31】
[Congratulations on completing the hidden mission "The Little Master of Death-seeking" and getting love points*1]
[It is detected that you and the other party are currently in a special state, and memory is being retrieved]
The dark scene suddenly became bright.
It is on a hillside. From here you can overlook most of the winter market.
The man was sitting on the grass with several empty beer cans beside him.
Su Yao gradually saw the man's face clearly. It was him.
This feeling is amazing, like being out of the body, looking at 'myself' from a third perspective. I can even feel my own feelings.
It's a very self-loathing feeling that's unpleasant if it sticks to it even a little bit.
"Are you here today too?"
After a moment of silence, 'Su Yao' spoke. After he finished speaking, the appearance of a child slowly appeared from the dim scene behind him.
It's Youye.
She was wearing a dirty short-sleeved shirt that looked unseemly. It might have been white originally, but now it was almost impossible to tell it was white.
"Yesterday I wanted to call the police and ask the inspector to take you away, but I thought about it. I have no right to do that."
"I didn't do that just because I wanted to show my hypocrisy and talk about kindness as quickly as possible. In fact, I didn't even think about why you ended up here and what you went through. I just used the method that I thought was the fastest solution.
Just deal with it and put a label on yourself that is helpful."
"So, I thought I would bring you something today that won't cause you any trouble. I'm relatively poor, so I don't have much good stuff, so don't expect too much."
As he said that, 'Su Yao' took out a few cans and clothes from her shoulder bag. Su Yao knew those clothes, that is, when she first saw You Ye, she was wearing clothes that were too big for her.
