The broken streets around Jason began to slowly disappear.
No!
Not disappear!
But...replaced!
Jason glanced at it and knew it clearly.
Everything in front of him seems real and illusory. The locust borrowed the 'river water' and its own abilities to create it on the original basis. Now that the locust has been eaten by him, everything will naturally return to its original state.
Although he ate the locust, Jason couldn't help but admire the opponent's ability.
Weird and silent.
It's really hard to guard against.
Of course!
It’s really delicious enough!
Although it is just the simplest cooking method, it amplifies the deliciousness of the other party to the extreme.
Jason, who recalled the deliciousness of 'food', looked at the words in front of him.
【Eating the thief (young. Seriously injured)!】
[Excessive recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!]
[Satiety +88]
【Satiety: 88】
[Excitement of eating +3]
【The excitement of eating:3】
…
"Stealer?"
"It's really a fitting name."
Jason commented like this.
He can completely imagine that if the other party had not miscalculated and had other goals, he would definitely be able to steal the other party's life and occupy everything that the other party should have.
To put it simply, it means becoming each other completely.
And the person being replaced?
It can be called ‘death’.
Even, from a certain perspective, this kind of substitution is more terrifying than death.
Think about it, your parents, wife, children, and friends have become someone else's. They ignore you, smile at that person, and give them affection, love, and friendship, while you are watching on the side, angry.
You step forward to stop you, and then you are treated as a lunatic. Then you are expelled or even beaten. With fists, feet and sticks, everything related to you becomes a tool for others to hurt you.
What would that feel like?
Life is worse than death, that's it, right?
Jason definitely didn't want to be like this.
Therefore, his vigilance against 'stealers' has reached an extreme level.
"Just one seriously injured larvae can make such a change in a city!"
"What if it's a mature body?"
"I'm afraid it can really change the world, right?"
Jason thought about how to deal with the 'stealer'.
Finally, my eyes turned to [Protection from Evil] again!
[Protect against evil] It is effective against ‘stealers’, that’s for sure!
The previous battle with Iona disguised as the 'Stealer' was enough to prove this point!
only……
Expert-level [Protection from Evil] is still not enough!
I want to upgrade [Protection from Evil] to a higher level!
Master level!
Above the master level!
Jason Anzi clenched his fists and set a goal for himself again.
"35 points of satiety is enough."
"But the excitement of eating at 8 o'clock...is there still 5 o'clock left?"
Jason frowned.
5 points of food excitement is not so easy to accumulate.
What's more, what he pursues is not just the master-level [Protection from Evil].
There are even higher levels!
In other words, the excitement of eating at 5 points is just a foundation!
"Is there any way to get enough food excitement?"
Jason couldn't help but think.
At the same time, he looked at Evelin.
With the death of the 'stealer', Evelin regained her power again.
But Evelin, who was trapped in self-doubt, ignored all of this. She stood there, her figure a little erratic, and even gradually became transparent, as if she disappeared at any time.
Everyone could tell that Evelin was in a bad state at this time.
Jason is no exception.
However, he was more worried about Gichel.
Will Gichel be okay?
"Don't worry, Gichel will be fine."
"I am false."
"She is the real one."
"When I disappear, she will wake up."
Evelin said this.
The tone was very calm.
His eyes were staring at Jason.
The next moment, her calm tone became excited.
"Why didn't I meet you first?"
"Why am I false?"
"Why didn't I discover this before?"
There is both reluctance and regret, but more importantly, reluctance.
She looked at Jason.
Looking at this man, she thought he must be the man she was destined for.
Reluctant to part with it.
It was precisely because of this reluctance that she gave up her 'resistance'.
Created by the 'Possession Stealer' and possessing part of the 'Possession Stealer''s power, she has the power to resist.
But she didn't want to do that.
Because, Jason looked at her.
She would not let her 'ugly' side appear in Jason's memory.
and--
She, Evelyn, the queen of ‘Fishbone Street’.
He would never hurt his sister Gichel.
She had made such a vow, and it might have been false, but she took it seriously.
Since you take it seriously, it’s really...real!
call!
After letting out a general roar, Evelin regained her original aura, which was wild and fierce. Although her figure became more erratic, she didn't care anymore.
"Can Jason promise me something?"
Evelin looked at Jason and asked slightly shyly.
As soon as Jason frowned, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at Evelin who was about to disappear, he finally changed his original words.
"It doesn't violate my principles, that's fine."
Jason answered like this.
"Are you afraid that I will drag you to register?"
"Who would register a marriage with a false existence?"
Evelin looked at Jason and subconsciously made fun of him. However, this kind of teasing did not seem vulgar. Instead, it had a generous feeling.
Then, Evelin pointed to the roof not far away.
"Come watch the sunrise with me."
After saying that, Evelin jumped up, jumped onto the roof, and sat there cross-legged, looking towards the east.
Jason appeared behind Evelin.
Watching the sunrise would certainly not violate his principles.
Now that he has agreed, Jason will not regret it.
"Jason, do you think there is a difference between the real world and the world in front of you?"
Evelin asked.
"Yes, the real world is more cruel and terrifying."
Jason nodded and replied.
Evelin turned her head and looked at Jason angrily, as if she was complaining about Jason's pragmatism.
"I'm almost dead, can't you lie to me?"
Evelin emphasized.
"I'll try my best."
Jason frowned and nodded again.
"Then let's continue!"
Evelin said, cleared her throat, and continued to ask——
"What about the food?"
“Same delicious.”
"Where is the farthest place you have ever been?"
"A place called the city that never sleeps."
"Is it nice there?"
"It is a paradise for scum, villains, and criminals, and a forbidden place for ordinary people. If possible, it is best for ordinary people not to go there for the rest of their lives."
"You hate it there?"
"If I could, I would blow it up."
"Jason?"
"Um?"
"Give me a special funeral, something different. I don't want to die so silently and plainly."
"good."
"Jason?"
"Um?"
"I……"
The sound stopped suddenly.
The sun jumped above the horizon at this moment.
Evelin, gone with the wind.
The morning breeze blew Jason's clothes, and he looked at the sunrise in the distance, silent.
And the entire neighborhood completely woke up at this moment.
"Ah! There was a gas explosion!"
"The whole street is destroyed!"
"Look at Doctor Hannibal, he's unconscious!"
"Call an ambulance!"
"Call an ambulance!"
…
The awakening city has become extremely noisy.
But any noisy place will become quiet and solemn.
A few days ago, there was a gas explosion in Sausage Street. Miraculously, most of the residents were only slightly injured, but Evelyn, the youngest daughter of the 'Watch Dog Pastry House', unfortunately died.
Everyone expressed their condolences for the death of this young girl.
Today they gathered here to give this girl a ride.
"Gichel, sister Evelyn is so pitiful. She has had no parents since she was a child. My elder sister has been taking care of her younger sister since she was a child. When she was unconscious due to an accident, her younger sister took care of her and relied on the pastry shop to support her medical expenses."
"Now that my sister is dead, what should Gichel do?"
"Oh, how pitiful."
Sighs sounded in the crowd.
People silently presented bouquets of flowers.
However, these people's eyes couldn't help but look to the side of the cemetery.
There, a tall figure wearing a black suit was standing there. It was a sunny day, but he was holding a black umbrella high. He seemed to be attending the funeral, but he did not join them, but just watched from a distance.
, the expression on his face is full of indifference, his eyes are a little sad, but they are also filled with an inexplicable calm.
Who is this?
It feels so mysterious and a little scary.
No words are needed.
No extra actions are required.
The people who attended Evelin's funeral were subconsciously attracted to Jason after seeing this appearance.
Even when they were about to leave, some people looked back at Jason like this from time to time.
And at this moment, Jason moved.
He strode towards Evelin's tombstone.
Looking at the tombstone with Evelin's name engraved on it.
Look at the tombstone with the dates py78.9-py87.1 engraved on it.
He bowed slightly.
Then, he lowered his voice and said——
"The organization will never forget you!"
This low voice reached the ears of the people who had just left just right.
Those attending the funeral stopped one after another.
organize?
What organization?
They looked at each other in shock. When they looked for Jason, Jason had already disappeared.
Only an open umbrella was left, lying quietly in front of the tombstone.
The wind blows.
The open umbrella rolled slightly and leaned closer to the tombstone.
Like snuggling.
In the sun, the silhouettes of tombstones and umbrellas are stretched very, very long.
…
New Decheng Hospital.
Inside Ward 141.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter.
Gichel, who had been in a coma for several years, woke up.
She woke up with a smile.
"Hahaha, Jason is so funny!"
"As expected of the man I like!"
She smiled like this.
"Evelin, as a girl, you can't say that."
The soft and weak voice of the female pastry chef suddenly sounded in Jichel's mouth.
"I know, I know."
"But don't you think Jason is interesting?"
Wild sounds also came from Giselle's mouth.
The weak voice hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in recognition.
"Yes, very interesting."
"Wouldn't that be great?"
The wild voice laughed again.
Then, she pulled off the bedding on her body, and wearing a hospital gown, she walked out of the hospital bed and strode out of the hospital. As she walked, she muttered in a low voice: "The city that never sleeps, the city that never sleeps... stay there obediently."
Just wait and I will find you!"
“Evelin, isn’t it good for us to leave like this?”
The female pastry chef's voice sounded again.
"Don't you want to see Jason sooner?"
Evelin asked rhetorically.
The female pastry chef fell silent immediately.
Of course she wanted to see Jason.
The kind that can't wait.
"What should we do?"
the pastry chef asked.
Evelin did not answer directly, but turned around and walked towards Pea Corner Street. Looking at the familiar garage door, she grinned with a wild smile.
