"Kaijun, where is this place? Why did you bring me here?"
Although she was curious that there was a seemingly large-scale city in this remote area, Busujima Saeko was even more curious about the purpose of Yan Kai bringing her here.
Yesterday afternoon, before everyone parted ways, Yan Kai was left alone to talk to Busujima Saeko and asked Busujima Saeko if he could spare some time these days. Busujima Saeko invited her without saying anything based on her trust in Yan Kai. After a week's vacation, she followed Yan Kai to this city with a strange atmosphere. However, after arriving in this city, Busujima Saeko finally couldn't help but be confused and asked Yan Kai about the purpose of bringing her here.
Yan Kai looked at Busujima Saeko and shook his head slightly: "This place is called 'Zhong'. I only know what kind of place it is. I think it would be better for you to judge with your own eyes. In addition, Saeko, you made a mistake. I will guide you." When you come here, the important thing is not what I want you to do, but what you want to do.”
Busujima Saeko was puzzled. She didn't understand what Yan Kai meant, and she had never heard of the "hit" that Yan Kai said. As an authentic Tokyoite, she didn't even know that there was such a city in the Tokyo area.
"Today is the first day. Let's watch first and only move our eyes without moving our hands, okay?" Yan Kai asked Busujima Saeko.
"..." Busujima Saeko still didn't understand Yan Kai's intentions, but since she chose to trust Yan Kai, she would not question him, so she nodded lightly, indicating that she would obey Yan Kai's arrangements.
Just as Busushima Saeko nodded, a cry for help suddenly sounded in the distance. Busushima Saeko subconsciously held the wooden sword at her waist and wanted to rush over, but found that her hand was held down, making her unable to move.
Yan Kai held Busujima Saeko's hand and shook her head gently, then pulled Busujima Saeko and hid in a secret place.
The cry for help was getting closer and closer. A woman whose clothes were mostly torn off, her white body exposed, was running away in embarrassment. Behind the woman, two strong men were chasing after her with sticks, shouting "Stop" while chasing. ", "Don't run" and other meaningless words.
Busujima's tutor did not allow Busujima Saeko to sit idly by and watch such things happen. She wanted to rush out but was still held tightly by Yan Kai.
"Kaijun, let me save people!"
Busujima Saeko didn't know why Yan Kai was hiding. He didn't want to expose Yan Kai, but expressed his will to Yan Kai with shining and determined eyes.
Yan Kai held Busujima Saeko's hand, then gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to wait.
Busujima Saeko didn't understand Yan Kai's intentions, but out of trust, she still chose to listen to Yan Kai's arrangements.
Two grown men were chasing a weak and half-clothed woman. It seemed like everyone should know who to help, but soon the situation changed.
While the woman was escaping, she passed by the entrance of an alley. Two men followed her and naturally ran over. However, they did not see that after the woman ran over, a very thin wire suddenly rose up. Notice that the two men at their feet were tripped by the wire and fell to the ground. Because they were trying their best to catch up, they were even more painful when they fell to the ground. The two men couldn't help but scream.
Just as the two men were shouting in pain, a figure quickly jumped out of the alley, holding a curved metal pipe in his hand, and beat the two men who fell on the ground. The key position was obviously aimed at the lives of the two of them.
The figure that jumped out struck quickly and ruthlessly. The two men who fell to the ground couldn't even grunt a few times before they completely stopped making any sound. It was unclear whether they had fainted or simply lost their breath.
The tightly held metal water pipe seemed to become more twisted. The violent beating consumed the figure a lot of strength. He began to gasp for air, but after seeing that the two people on the ground were motionless, he couldn't help but grin. Busujima Saeko, who was hiding in a hiding place with Yan Kai, also saw clearly the appearance of this man. He was a slightly thin man.
The woman who had escaped before walked over quickly. The thin man opened his mouth to talk to the woman, but the woman ignored her and raised her hand to slap the thin man in the face.
"Idiot, how long have you been here and you're still so careless!"
After saying that, the woman snatched the metal water pipe from the hand of the thin man, and hit the two men who were already motionless with another hard blow on the back of the head.
Blood spattered and brains burst. If the two men who fell on the ground before were still unaware of life and death, then now they were extremely dead. At least modern medicine could not save them.
After confirming that the two men were dead, the woman put aside the blood-stained metal water pipe and began to skillfully grope around the two men.
The thin man did not dare to get angry at the woman even after being slapped on the face. Instead, he covered the slapped face in aggrieved manner and waited beside the woman.
The woman quickly took out all the valuable items from the corpses of the two men. Seeing that the thin man was just covering his face but motionless, she used the damaged clothes to cover the valuable items. She raised her hand and said something to the other side of the thin man's face. slap.
"You're a dead person! Don't you know you can come here and help me carry people? Their bodies can be sold for money!"
The woman cursed at the thin man.
The thin man obeyed, and then he and the woman lifted the bodies of the two men from the ground and staggered away.
After the two of them walked away, another man quickly jumped out. After looking around and feeling that no one was around, he dragged the remaining body away.
Busujima Saeko stared at all this in stunned silence, unable to recover for a long time. She turned to look at Yan Kai blankly, and asked Yan Kai: "Kai-kun, what on earth is this place?"
This is the second time that Busujima Saeko asked Yan Kai where this place is. The previous time Yan Kai asked Busujima Saeko to see what kind of place it was. Now Busujima Saeko asked for the second time. Yan Kai finally began to patiently ask Busujima Saeko. Shima Saeko explained: "This place is called "Zhong". It is a place that does not exist politically or legally. In other words, it is a completely lawless place. Here, any criminal behavior is allowed." Yes, because there are no police officers who can step foot in this place, and most police officers may not even know the existence of this place. Therefore, this place has become a paradise for criminals. Not only that, many rich people cannot enjoy civilized society in order to enjoy For fun, I would come here from time to time to do things that would be morally criticized and legally sanctioned. I even heard that if you want to kill someone, you just need to trick them into coming here to kill them. That is a perfect crime, because anything that happens in this area is not protected by the law, and any behavior is also not subject to the law. Of course, if you really want to commit a perfect crime, I personally do not recommend coming here. Because it’s easy to get in here, but it’s difficult to get out. After killing people, you might end up killing yourself too…”
"This is Tokyo, this is Japan, how could such a place exist?"
Busujima Saeko couldn't believe that the peaceful Tokyo in her heart could have such a lawless place!
"I'm not sure exactly how 'Zhong' was formed. It is said to be related to some post-war movements. A large number of people who were not controlled by the government were left here to fend for themselves. In the end, it became a place like a garbage dump. Anyone who the government finds troublesome is packed into this city, and many fugitives also like to run here. Because of its special nature, this place once prospered, especially during the bubble economy. It has reached its peak. Most of the buildings here are from that time. Can you see some traces of prosperity?"
Yan Kai asked Busujima Saeko to look around the surrounding environment. Of course it was incomparable with the urban area of Tokyo, but it was indeed much better than the average Japanese city. Because it had been uninhabited for a long time, most of the buildings here were inevitably decayed and desolate. It looks very dilapidated. If these buildings can be renovated and more people are added, this might not be a very modern city.
"There is no law and there are murderers everywhere..."
After listening to Yan Kai's explanation, Busujima Saeko's heart began to beat violently.
She's not scared, she's excited!
No, she is not excited, she is afraid, she is afraid that the chain on the beast in her heart will break!
Morality and law have always been the two major chains that bind Busujima Saeko's nature, and there is no law in "Naka". As for morality... they are all a group of murderers who deserve death. Is there any problem in killing them?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Busujima Saeko began to feel afraid for herself. She turned her head away, not daring to let Yan Kai see her current face. She must be extremely hideous and ugly.
How much did Busujima Saeko think about this? After listening to what Yan Kai said just now, her eyes bloomed with dazzling light, like gems in the sun. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her cherry lips opened slightly, and she breathed out softly. Not only does it not look ferocious in one breath, but it has a seductive power that stirs people's nerves, a dangerous and fatal temptation.
Poppies are beautiful because they are poisonous, roses are beautiful because they have thorns, and both of these can be seen in the current Busushima Saeko.
"Saeko, we agreed that on the first day, we will not move our eyes but not make any moves." Naturally, Yan Kai could not sense that Saeko Busujima's murderous intention was starting to get out of control, so he mentioned to Saeko Busujima what he had said before.
"Yes, Kai-kun, I still remember it!" Busujima Saeko also remembered the agreement between himself and Yan Kai, and quickly restrained his murderous intention.
"Okay, give me the 'Wulu'."
Yan Kai reached out to Busujima Saeko.
After only a moment of hesitation, Busushima Saeko took off the "Muro" from her waist and handed it to Yan Kai's hand.
Busujima Saeko had two swords on his waist, one was a wooden sword and the other was a "Muro". After Busujima Saeko handed the "Muro" to Yan Kai, there was only a wooden sword left on her waist. The danger appears to have plummeted.
The sword is the life of a swordsman. Busujima Saeko's willingness to hand over her sword to Yan Kai also means that she is even willing to hand over her life to Yan Kai's hands. This is the most important thing.
"Ask me for this knife when you want to use it. As for when you want to use it, it's up to you." Yan Kai held "Wulu" in his hand and said.
"..." Doesn't this mean nothing?
Busujima Saeko became increasingly confused about Yan Kai's intentions, but she still nodded: "Okay, I understand Kai-kun."
For the next half day, Yan Kai and Busujima Saeko moved secretly in the "center", just as an observer rather than a participant.
The place "Zhong" is indeed as Yan Kai said, it is a completely sinful place. Theft, robbery, murder, drug abuse... all kinds of sinful things are performed in this area all the time. Busujima Saeko keeps in mind his identity as a spectator, although there are Several times, he almost couldn't help the urge to kill, but in the end he held it back because he promised Yan Kai.
As night fell, in a simple empty house, Busujima Saeko sat quietly on her knees after eating the food brought by Yan Kai.
There is a huge flow of people in "Zhong". Desperate new people enter almost every day, and old people die unnaturally almost every day. There is a high probability that the bodies will be sold at a good price, so there are many abandoned empty houses. Yan Kai looks for them. A relatively neat and clean empty house for himself and Busujima Saeko to stay.
"Kaijun, I seem to understand why you want me to just watch but not do anything."
Busujima Saeko suddenly said to Yan who was sitting against the wall next to her.
"Oh, tell me."
Yan Kai smiled and said to Busujima Saeko.
"When I first saw what those people were doing, I really wanted to kill them all."
Busujima Saeko said.
Perhaps it was because he was in "Chong", a place with no laws and morals. When Busujima Saeko said that he wanted to kill someone, his expression was actually very calm, without any special mood swings.
"What now?"
Yan Kai asked.
"Now..." Busujima Saeko smiled, "I still want to kill them, because the things they did are so disgusting!"
"Do you understand?"
Yan Kai asked.
Busujima Saeko nodded: "I understand!"
It was not because of impulse, nor because of her desire for blood, but because Busujima Saeko decided that those people were not qualified to continue living in the world, so she wanted to kill them.
"That's good if you think so." Yan Kai nodded with a smile.
"Kaijun, you... seem to think killing is not a big deal?"
Busujima Saeko asked Yan Kai cautiously.
Because killing is a very sensitive matter after all, Busujima Saeko asked carefully. Although Yan Kai never said it, judging from Yan Kai's attitude, Busujima Saeko found it hard to believe that Yan Kai had never killed anyone.
Of course Yan Kai would not hide it, and nodded simply: "It's really not a big deal. After all, in this world, not everyone's life is precious. For some people, their lives are even of negative value. Every time I see it, When I meet people like this, I can’t help but want to bring some positive value to this world.”
Yan Kai's words basically meant that he had killed someone. Busushima Saeko did not make a fuss, but curiously asked Yan Kai: "So Kai-kun, what does it feel like to kill someone."
"You are asking the wrong person about this." Yan Kai shook his head and said, "When I kill, I never treat the person I want to kill as a human being, so I don't feel like killing. I don't like killing, and killing doesn't matter to me. If this is something you want to know, I think it would be better to ask Teacher Esdeath."
"Hmm..." Busujima Saeko's eyes moved slightly, and then in the current atmosphere and opportunity, she asked a question that had puzzled her for a long time, "Kaijun, what did Esdeath-sensei do before, and why can I feel it from her?" A strong evil spirit? It’s as if she came out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?”
"It doesn't seem like she is! She was a general in a monarchy country before, and her main job every day was to counter rebellion. The number of people she killed was in four figures at least, and it's not impossible to have tens of thousands." Yan Kai didn't agree either. Hiding Busujima Saeko, he directly told her Esdeath's identity.
"ah!"
Hearing Yan Kai's words, Busujima Saeko couldn't help but be shocked even if he was mentally prepared. This is a peaceful era, how could there be such a existence?
