Abyss Special Train Chapter 1 Chapter 18 A small gathering on the boulevard On the boulevard in Chenguang County, the newly grown-up Marley Perot was sitting in front of the park promenade——
——Like his mother, he has beautiful dark red hair, handsome features and a majestic expression.
He was holding Hemingway's book "A Farewell to Arms", and the dappled sunlight shone from between the leaves, illuminating his thoughts and philosophy together with the street lamps.
In Marley's impression, this small county town was much poorer than the capital city. There were no public toilets in the western suburbs park, so the female companion who was traveling with him had no choice but to find a nearby bush to solve her physical problems.
Closing the page, Marley raised his head slightly and noticed that his little girlfriend was back.
"Yukiko, what are you looking for?"
A little Japanese girl came out from the guardrail. She was Marley's nominal girlfriend. She was holding up her pants and looked embarrassed. She almost fell down while browsing the guardrail and kept complaining.
"You can't even find a public toilet in this damn place. Marley, why did you bring me here?"
Marley: "You are the one who wants to follow me."
Yukiko covered her belt buckle and sat down next to her boyfriend with a blushing face: "What nonsense are you talking about! You are my boyfriend! Of course I will go wherever you go!"
Marley didn't reply, showing an impatient expression.
Yukiko shouted, pointing at the park scenery.
"There's not a soul to be seen. It's like a modern countryside."
"You can see the sun in Chenguang County at five o'clock in the morning." Marley took the trouble to explain: "I came here just to watch the sunrise."
"Why not go to the 40th arrondissement? The 42nd arrondissement is also fine!" Yukiko couldn't understand her boyfriend's brain circuit.
Marley then explained: "The contestants in Fairy Tale Kingdom set out from Chenguang County. I want to experience the environment here - as for you? Why do you want to follow me? Don't you have your own life?"
Yukiko's face was full of surprise: "You guy! Have you never regarded me as your lover?"
"I told you from the beginning that this relationship is an excuse to deal with my parents." Marley tilted his head and looked condescendingly at the girl beside him, "I don't need to make video calls to my family every week.
, with more private space.”
“You don’t have to deal with recruiting from university clubs, and you don’t have to participate in social interactions.”
"As long as he concentrates on studying and competing with knights, my little brother Groba will get more attention from his father and mother."
"As a reward, I will give you 860 pyroxene currency every month to buy my freedom."
"You don't have to reveal our intimate relationship to anyone. When my parents insist on talking to you, you can deal with it with a cold attitude. It will also make it easier for you to talk to me in the future -"
At first, Yukiko just lowered her head and flipped her hair uneasily, and then she yelled loudly: "What do you think I am?!"
The shrill female voice echoed far and wide along the avenue——
——Marley is very, very close to Yukiko.
The boy was in a daze for a moment, as if he had no idea what was going on in the girl's mind.
Isn’t this a good business? Is it because the monthly allowance is too little?
In District 41, 860 pyroxene coins per month are enough to cover the food expenses of a college student. For Yukiko, the cost of daily food and drinks is saved.
"You guy." Yukiko looked excited and spoke her native language angrily: "You guy, you have never thought about it. You have never thought about it."
Her blood was surging and her face was red, her expression was coy and artificial, she was shy and sad.
"You have never thought that I really like you! Do you admire you?!"
"I haven't thought about it." Marley Perrault's mood was calm, with almost no change, like a piece of ice——
——He ran towards Anonymous, studying knight combat skills with great devotion. In order to get rid of his father's overly strong desire to control, he went to District 41 to study.
The gunsmith is the person he admires and respects the most.
Marley was fascinated by the unknown legend's control over his emotions.
Being able to fight against the gunsmith's students was an adventure that would make Marley Perrault laugh out loud in his dreams.
But what did this silly woman say just now?
She seems to be pretending to be real? Telling me about vigorous love?
"Why do you think so? Yukiko"
Marley couldn't understand it and only felt horrified.
"Why? Since March, I have given you more than 7,000 yuan. Isn't this money enough? It's just to cooperate with me in a play."
He began to panic, and dark thoughts reflected in his heart.
"Do you still want me to be by your side? I waste precious time walking with you, telling you love words, and providing you with emotional value. We cook together, sleep together, and plan my diet according to your daily routine.
life?"
It was as if there was a cage that locked Marley tightly inside.
"Why? What evil thing have I done?"
Yukiko was shocked——
——She just thinks that this young man, Marley Perot, is very good. He looks so serious and reliable. He usually doesn't like to talk. He is well-dressed and neat, and he is also a sports student.
At first, when Marley and Yukiko used money to maintain their relationship, she thought more than once whether it was possible to fake the show for real. But as they waited day after day, and day by day, it seemed that they were really just directors.
There is no progress in the employment relationship with the actors.
Until one hundred and twenty days later, she became more and more curious, more and more itchy, and doubted her feminine charm more than once. Finally, she fell in love unilaterally, and had a romantic relationship with this familiar and unfamiliar strong man in her dream.
When I woke up, I saw myself in the mirror with messy hair, a rosy face and flushed cheeks, and I finally realized that something was wrong.
——It's like being under a wonderful hypnotic spell.
Yukiko was convinced that she loved Mari Perot deeply, even if the young man had not said a few affectionate words to her.
She wanted to get closer to Marley, so she started from a trip to Chenguang County, trying to break the ice between the two. But just now, Marley Perot held an ice-breaking ax and broke her heart.
Split in half.
"I am a selfish person." Marley Perot pouted and said: "I hope that I can work hard to improve myself and have more private space in the most brilliant and beautiful youth period in my life.
, I'm sorry, Yukiko - there is no place for you in my life."
"Asshole!" Yukiko cursed: "Asshole! Big bastard! The worst! The worst bastard!"
She did not leave, still sitting in the chair, unleashing her anger on Marley Perrault next to her.
"Asshole! Asshole! Dirty thing! You."
"It's a pity." Marley only found it troublesome and had to explain again and again: "You are starting to make me feel sick. Do I ask someone for a precious treasure and he doesn't give it to me, so I have to insult him? This is reasonable.
- Yukiko, love and freedom are the most precious treasures in the world."
Yukiko suddenly lost consciousness and finally shed tears of disappointment. Her shoulders twitched, as if she had lost a very important stage goal in her life.
She didn't know where to put her two arms, and the belt buckle was broken. Like everything she encountered today, it didn't show any mercy to her. It was a huge problem to walk back to the traffic stop.
"Please give it to me." Marley Perrault said, asking for the belt from her companion.
There was still a trace of unwillingness in Yukiko's heart, but she kept saying "please?!"
Marley Perrault: "I could try to fix it."
Without saying a word, Yukiko took out the buckle from her waist, slapped Marley's hand, crossed her arms and started wiping her tears angrily, muttering in a low voice while crying, saying something that Marley couldn't understand.
Japanese.
Marley Perrault began to tinker with the buckles, carefully removing the decorations to reveal the worn and broken buckles. He casually handed over the lunch box sent by his parents and placed Hemingway's writings as a warming pad between the two of them.
.
"My mother made this. If you are hungry, you can eat it."
Yukiko replied loudly: "Why are you so nice to me?! I'm not your girlfriend! Director, I have money and I will buy it myself!"
"Last night, thank you for your willingness to cooperate with me to deal with my parents." Marley repaired the buckle and took out the tools from the gun maintenance bag beside him. He chatted with Yukiko about his kindness and wanted to comfort this person.
Girl: "They are very controlling. Without you as an outsider, I would have to quarrel with my family again."
Yukiko pursed her lips, hugged each other, and softened her tone: "You hate your parents very much? Why don't you tell them? If you hate them, you hate them! If you like them, you like them! It's so weird to pretend to like them even if you don't like them!"
Marley Perrault replied: "But what about my brother?"
This sentence made Yukiko silent. She didn't know what it was like for Marley Perrault to avoid and resist the family.
"Before entering high school, my spiritual essence was controlled by my father, and my physical essence was controlled by my mother - they decided my bookshelf, my recipes, my daily routine and my hobbies for entertainment."
"My family obviously doesn't have much money and is not considered a noble. However, my father and mother have to train me according to the standards of the nobles. It seems that by doing so, I, Mary Perot, will truly become a noble person and will become rich.
, will take them to heaven together with chickens and dogs - this is a kind of ritual."
"If I leave silently, my brother Groba may also suffer this cruel punishment."
"So Yukiko, can you give me the answer? I originally thought that as long as I could join a certain club during my college career, work part-time and receive a salary, I would become financially independent and wait until Groba was admitted to college.
, I took him to work in a distant place and live in another city. Occasionally, I would come back to visit my parents."
"But reality tells me that to complete these things, I must always stay focused and spend plenty of time with myself - I am very poor, very, very poor, and all my essence must be given to myself to fight against my own negative emotions and my parents.
The pressure, and now you have to fight me in love, which I didn't expect."
Yukiko had nothing to say. She was not the daughter of a wealthy family, nor did she have the ability to spend money to directly solve problems. She silently held the lunch box, and suddenly felt that Mari Perot was a poor person, and it was far better than losing love.
She is much pitiful.
Because she can lose many Marley Perrots and fall in love many, many times that makes her cry, whether it is fake lovesickness or real love, this is her freedom.
But there will never be another Miss Yukiko in Mary Perot's life——
——He looks decent, neat and handsome, but just two words can turn this mentally healthy red-haired guy into an earthworm. In order to avoid the scorching sun, he has to struggle hard in the mud and has to leave behind many of his peers.
Things you should have.
"Eat it." Yukiko grabbed the burger and handed it to the busy Marley Perot, "You said that Aunt Nana's food is delicious - I'll leave it to you."
Marley packed up the buckle, embedded the steel teeth into the belt, and returned it to Yukiko. He was not polite at all. He had never regarded Yukiko as a woman. He didn't say anything during the prevarication scene, and reached out to get the hamburger.
"Thanks."
Yukiko added a condition: "No, I have to feed you."
Marley looked into Yukiko's eyes and didn't know what to say——
——The Asian's brown eyes showed the psychedelic light spots among the leaves. He stared at these eyes for a long time, feeling as if he was in another world.
The tomato slices and pickles in the lunch box are neatly arranged, and the sauces are placed in small compartments. Nana's mother specially made the plate for her son. She knows that her son loves to be clean, and the food must be divided equally.
.
In the early morning hours of summer, cicadas and crickets were noisy, as if they were holding a concert, mixed with the sound of the trickling water from the small fountain next to the slide further in the park, and every second with the sunshine, the grass in the air
The leaves have a pleasant and refreshing taste.
Marley finally moved. He opened his mouth, leaned forward and took a bite.
I heard Yukiko’s question——
"——Marley, I just want to save all the money you give me every month."
"When graduation comes, shall we go on a trip?"
"Travel to the surface world, go to Tokyo, go to Mount Fuji, go to hot springs and play table tennis."
"Can I buy a few days of your time?"
From the sandwich of the hamburger bun, a ball of tender and delicious meat rolled into Marley Perrault's mouthpiece.
When he came to his senses, he could no longer speak. Something was blocking his pharyngeal tube and rushing toward his esophagus along the tip of his tongue!
His face was livid, his eyes were blank, and his hands and feet suddenly became weak. He wanted to break free from Yukiko's hand, but he couldn't move his hand from the belt buckle!
A sweet aroma came from his throat and nose, and everything became psychedelic and distorted. What was originally a straight tree-lined path turned into a winding and twisted mountain road in Marley's eyes. He could only stand frozen.
, waiting for the elixir to take away his consciousness.
Underneath Yukiko is still the girl who looks unrestrained and enthusiastic, but is actually shy.
For a moment, she arrogantly believed that she could continue this relationship and transform magic into miracles through various travel rituals.
"Marley Perrault, you always tell me how terrible your home is, so have you ever thought about finding a new home?"
The sun shines on the tree-lined road, and the sunrise in Chenguang County is very similar to the sunset. The air in the sky gathers, disperses, and gathers again, turning into bright red flaming clouds, like warm and bright roses.
When Mari Perrault woke up from a strong sense of hunger and regained the slightest bit of human consciousness, at that moment, the wonderful taste experience from the smooth and tender mouth made him feel happy, almost to the extreme.
The sun passed over the leaves of the tree-lined avenue, and from far away the bridge that led to the aqueduct and the inland river cast a bright red light from the other side of the sky, making his shadow grow long.
He finally opened his eyes completely and blinked hard. The color of his pupils changed from gold to red, and slowly turned completely red.
The aroma of the food was still stimulating his nerves, and he could feel Yukiko still holding his hand tightly - that kind of strong persistence and deep love couldn't lie.
It wasn't until he turned his head that he finally discovered that his female companion sitting on the bench had only one hand left.
Only one fleshy palm was left that held the belt buckle and held it tightly with him. The white broken bones were exposed, and there were fine and terrifying tooth marks left on the bloody broken bones. From the back of the chair,
No trace of blood could be found on his face, no clothes could be found, and it seemed as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
Marley Perrault's mental state fell into a state of extreme shock, anger, and fear.
He couldn't say a word, his pupils were trembling violently, and a low roar of hunger came from his belly. It seemed that the hunger had just left and had not gone far.
There are some blood stains on the broken palm near the chair surface, which are the marks left by the tongue licking the white plastic chair. The disc operation was strictly carried out and no food residue was left.
Mariperot's sanity still lingered on Yukiko's last words.
"Shall we go on a trip?"
He could see the long twisted tongue flashing outside the palm of his left hand, and the scarlet eye lines on the Venus fleshy mound of his thumb gradually dissipating - his brain finally started to work, and he responded.
