[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

Orihara Rinya and Kishitani Shilla are the types who are not interested in dedicating their youth to club activities. Therefore, during the activity time when most people are busy sweating in the club and leaving precious memories, the two stay idle in the classroom .

"Have you met the new Mr. Kawasaki?"

"...Well, that's it." He asked back, "It's really rare, Shilla, are you interested in her affairs?"

"It's not."

Kishitani Shilla readily denied this.

"It's because of Shizuo. I haven't heard much about his rampage recently. It is said that he has something to do with Kawasaki-sensei, so I'm a little curious." He said, "And I've heard more about her recently... ...Well, she seems to be a gentle beauty, so it's not surprising that she is popular, since Lin has already met her, then..."

"A beauty with a gentle personality...Actually, that's what it is."

Lin also leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his downcast eyes revealing the meaning of thinking.

"However, I don't like her..." He frowned slightly, "Maybe I hate her."

"Hate...?" Silla unconsciously raised the volume, "You? Besides Shizuo, do you have anyone else you hate? Could it be that Kawasaki-sensei and Shizuo have the same inhuman power??"

"That's not the case."

Lin also sighed, leaned over to the desk again, picked up a pen, drew a closed arc on the margin of the book, and then wrote the word "Human" in the arc, while Pointed a point outside the arc and marked it as "Xiao Jing".

"Basically, I love all human beings, that is to say, I have an equal and tolerant love for all people who fall into this category."

Lin also gestured with the tip of his pen.

"But Shizuo doesn't belong to humans, and occasionally has an unpleasant effect on humans I like, so I hate him like a gardener hates vermin... Silla understands this too, right?"

"To say I understand, I don't want to understand you, but I can roughly understand your twisted thinking circuit." Silla said, "Then, has Mr. Kawasaki been classified by you as something other than human?"

"That's the problem."

Lin also paused.

"She is not in any category that this piece of paper can represent."

"...?"

"Have you ever wondered, Silla, where I classify myself—"

Seeing the other party's confused expression, Lin also smiled, tore off a page of the textbook without hesitation, and lifted it up with his fingertips.

"The answer is, I'm not on the paper either."

He said.

"Silla, I am the only one who sits at the table as an observer, a recorder... or something else. In short, in order to objectively witness the complex panorama of my beloved human beings, I must look at it from a higher dimension and perspective. Come see them."

Speaking of this, Lin also crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can with great precision.

"Human beings are a combination of desires. One hundred human beings have one hundred desires. Under the intertwined cause and effect, various behaviors driven by various desires will eventually lead to an outcome that no one can think of. This is what makes them attractive. The place... Then, we will talk about Kawasaki-sensei."

"Mr. Kawasaki?"

"Her." Lin Ye said slowly, "What is driving her actions, and what does she want to get out of it... Silla, I don't know, I can't see these things in her--this makes me wonder... I had an association."

He tapped the end of the pen on the table, and his eyes fell on the empty seat beside him, as if someone was sitting there.

"Could it be that all her actions, like mine, have nothing to do with herself, but out of love for all mankind?" His smile became deeper, but it never reached his eyes, "So, after I realize this The moment she becomes a possibility, she ceases to be one of the human beings who can be loved..."

For Orihara Rinya, this was an experience he had never experienced before.

A woman named Kawasaki Summi visits a planet where he is alone.

She was an uninvited guest, she walked into his room alone, knocked on his door, walked in before he allowed, then pulled away a chair beside him, and sat down at the same table.

At this moment, Orihara Lin also separated himself from others, and the transparent protective wall sounded a high-pitched alarm.

— "She became my enemy."

The ringtone rang at this moment, Orihara Lin also took out his mobile phone, glanced at the incoming call notification, and then hung up the call.

He disassembled the phone, replaced it with another ID card, and restarted.

"Lin Ye, what are you doing?"

"Send a text message to Xiaojing."

Lin Ye typed the text and answered it at the same time.

"Although it's a bit unnecessary to use a new address..."

After confirming that the sending was successful, Lin also stood up.

"Just take it as a tribute to her."

He smiled at Silla.

"I go first."

On every working day, Cheng's trajectory is relatively fixed.

Although the time and route to school and the time and route to leave school cannot be said to be the same, they will only change slightly in details. Stay longer.

So if someone paid special attention, it would not be too difficult to find her at a specific time and place.

When she turned to a narrow road with few pedestrians, a group of gangster youths suddenly appeared in front of her, and they were approaching with malicious intentions. Cheng Cheng sighed helplessly, but was not surprised.

"Let me see..." One of them compared Cheng's appearance with the photo on the phone screen, "It should be her right...Miss, do you know Shizuo Heiwajima?"

He didn't seem to care much about Cheng's answer either.

"It doesn't matter, I heard that Shizuo Heiwajima will be obedient as long as you threaten him... We have some debts to settle with him, please come with us."

As he said that, the other party was about to stretch out his hand to grab it, and even before Cheng could respond, his movements stopped unexpectedly.

Shizuo probably came over in a hurry, his chest was still heaving obviously, and his eyes were overflowing with hostility.

He pinched the opponent's wrist until the opponent's bones made a bad sound and he couldn't help screaming before letting go.

"Received a text out of nowhere...but it's good to have decided to take a look."

Jing Xiong's sudden appearance seemed to have brought quite a shock to these people. He took two steps forward with a blank expression, and the gang of street youths who had the upper hand retreated a little in fear.

Although it will be a few years before the existence of Shizuo Heiwajima will become one of the urban anecdotes circulating in Ikebukuro together with the "headless horseman of the black motorcycle", but now he already has a person who makes people dare not dare. The intimidation of confrontation, especially when he is clearly angry.

Cheng also felt the tense atmosphere.

Regardless of the considerations, she prefers to avoid meaningless violent fights, and when she stepped forward to grab Shizuo's arm, a young man with a knife suddenly rushed out from behind Shizuo's side, Because of the urgency of the matter, Cheng subconsciously reacted——

The knife fell from the opponent's hand, but inevitably, the blade left scratches in Cheng's palm.

She folded her ten fingers calmly, trying to cover the wound on her palm, but it didn't seem to be enough to completely erase the evidence.

A drop of blood slipped from between her closed fingers, then a second.

When Cheng raised her head and met Shizuo's eyes, she suddenly realized...she might have made a very wrong decision.

In the next second, the mad dog broke free from the shackles.

Heiwajima Shizuo didn't hold any weapon, as if his whole body was a kind of weapon. His fist landed on the enemy's body, making a heavy and terrifying sound. He didn't enjoy the process, and he didn't even have any fluctuations in his expression. He simply unleashes an uncontrollable rage until no one else can stand.

Anyone who sees this kind of scene must immediately understand this sentence-"Shizuo Heiwajima is violence itself."

It wasn't until everyone was down that Cheng had room to intervene. She suppressed the long-lost regret in her heart, and checked the conditions of the people who seemed to be the most seriously injured at the fastest speed. After confirming that they were not special An ambulance was called immediately after the danger.

After finishing this series of remedial measures, Cheng raised his head and looked at Shizuo, who had been standing quietly in place for a long time.

Cheng walked towards him, Shizuo's white shirt was splattered with blood, and the sharp aura lingering around him that made people could not help but retreat had not dissipated.

When Cheng was less than half a meter away from him, Shizuo moved... He looked at Cheng's injured position, and seemed to want to reach out, but finally withdrew it.

"The teacher is different from me."

he said suddenly.

"If you are in danger, you may be injured and bleed easily... Teacher, I almost forgot that you are very fragile."

After a long time, Shizuo Heiwajima turned around.

"Go to the hospital and don't get involved with me anymore."

"...Peace Island."

Cheng couldn't help shouting to his back, but the boy's pause was barely visible, and he didn't even turn his head.

At this time, the siren of the ambulance sounded first, and then another more urgent siren got closer and closer. Before the ambulance arrived, the police car stopped in front of the two of them.

"We have received reports from nearby residents..."

The middle-aged police officer who got out of the car looked around the rather spectacular scene, and then fixed his eyes on Shizuo. It seemed that this was not the first time the two had dealt with each other.

"Then can you explain the situation, Heiwajima-kun?"

"Let me explain."

"...Teacher!" Shizuo frowned, "This has nothing to do with you."

"Even if I'm fragile, easy to get hurt and bleed, I'm at least an adult."

Cheng turned his head to look at him, his eyes focused.

"What's more, I'm your teacher...so, Pinghe Island, trust me a little more."

"The general process is like this... I hope it can help you make a full and objective judgment."

Cheng’s wound has already been dealt with urgently. She is glad that she did not treat herself hastily just now, and now her injury has brought strong evidence for her narrative.

"This is basically in line with our investigation... Considering that the other party is an adult armed with a large number of adults, and the situation here is underage, there will not be any severe punishment... Of course, if you notify the school On the other hand, it is at least for the school to deal with it accordingly.”

"But..." Halfway through the defense, Cheng realized that this was already a rather lenient solution, so he changed his words, "I understand, thank you."

"But since you are here, Mr. Kawasaki, I will treat you as a school official, and the follow-up will depend on your thoughts."

Cheng suddenly understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, thank you very much."

"As for you, Heiwajima-kun..."

This police officer Fujiki, who has worked in the Juvenile Division of the police station for more than ten years, is already very familiar with Shizuo Heiwajima.

There is no other reason. The boy in front of him had troubles several times more than the worst delinquent boy in the process of growing up. Once they met more times, they were forced to become familiar with each other.

But precisely because he is familiar with Shizuo Heiwajima, Officer Fujiki can realize that he is actually not a bad boy... rather the complete opposite.

But work is work after all.

"What's going on this time, Mr. Heiwajima, isn't it a little too much to start?"

"Because..." he replied quite honestly, "they hurt the teacher."

"..."

There was a little smile on Fujiki's face.

"If it wasn't for the wrong position, I'd rather praise you for being manly—well, I'll contact you again if there are follow-up matters, so let's go back today."

Cheng and Shizuo walked out of the police station in silence, but the atmosphere between them had nothing to do with tension, it seemed to be pure, they both happened to be preoccupied.

Coincidentally, they broke the silence at the same time.

"Sorry, teacher."

"sorry."

After apologizing to each other at the same time, both of them stayed for a while.

"...?"

"...Let me go first."

After staring at each other for a while, Shizuo first looked away.

"Leaving you with unpleasant memories, not being able to restrain yourself, hurting you...and various other things, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Pinghe Island, I didn't take it to heart."

Cheng said.

"Now it's my turn and I have to apologize for my egotism."

There was a hint of guilt on her face.

"It wasn't until just now that I realized that I had unknowingly become a person who couldn't face up to other people's thoughts... I may be obsessed with what I think is right... Heping Island, can you forgive me ?"

"... Teacher, I don't understand the reason for your apology." He said, "However, I don't think anyone in the world hates you, so no matter what you are sorry for...I forgive you."

"really?"

Cheng's eyes lit up.

"So, if I promise to protect myself in the future, will you still be willing to meet me?"

He hesitated.

"about this……"

In order to convince the other party, Cheng felt that it would be impossible not to use a trump card.

"Pinghe Island." She suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I am a person with super powers."

"Ugh?"

This is really a development that Shizuo Heiwajima did not expect at all.Just when his thoughts were stuck, Cheng removed the gauze strips wrapped around his palms one by one.

"Look, it's healed."

"...Really." Shizuo showed a very surprised expression, "Even I can't do it."

"You understand, Heihe Island, as a superpower, it is very hard for me to hide among ordinary people... If someone finds out——"

The boy unknowingly became nervous.

"It will be sent for autopsy."

"I will not allow others to dissect the teacher."

Shizuo said firmly.

"Really? The enemy may be Area 51, CIA, and the Supernatural Investigation Agency..."

"Nobody can."

Looking at the boy who became serious about the strange mechanism he created, Cheng smiled.

"So, if I disappear one day, will Heping Island come to find me?"

He nodded.

"Will do."

At this moment, the pure heart of the young man has been completely occupied by the new facts, and the previous determination was quickly thrown behind him under the impact, which made him fall into Cheng's trap inadvertently.

"I will protect you, teacher."

"Really." Cheng said, "Then it's settled, we will meet again next time."

What a rough day.

On the way home, Cheng couldn't help but think this way.

The Ikebukuro where she lives now is a lively place where all kinds of people pursue their own lives and ideals... The city has a frivolous and lively character, and even peace is noisy.

Cheng likes it here.

Presumably even if she leaves here, she will still leave a corner of it in her memory.

However, it seems that Chung's day has not yet planned to have a gentle finale.

When she was about to enter the corridor, a force pulled Cheng's shoulders, and then a hand wrapped around her neck from behind.

If someone passed by at this time, they probably thought it was a flirting act between lovers and deliberately avoided it. Only Cheng could feel that there was something sharp against her waist.

The assailant behind her didn't speak, as if deliberately giving her time to react, but Cheng didn't give the performance he expected.

"You sent a text message to Heihejima..." She turned her head slightly calmly, "Orihara-kun?"

"As expected of Kawasaki-sensei, I thought I could see your frightened expression."

Orihara, who was seen through, also gave a short laugh, put away the dagger, and stepped back a little.

"Although I really don't want to admit it, it seems that the teacher is quite stubborn on Xiao Jing's issue." He said, "So, I want to change the content of the bet."

"How should I put it, Orihara-kun... you find out that the bet has no chance of winning, and you want to change the rules, is it despicable or naive..."

"It doesn't matter either way."

He answered heartily.

"Although there are reasons why I don't want to lose, the bottom line is that my point of interest has changed—teacher, I once asked you what you think of Xiaojing...but now, I have something more I want to know."

Cheng waited for his next words.

"Have you ever hated someone?"

he asked.

"You are so gentle and admired by many people, teacher? Have you ever loved any of them?"

"How do you see everything but yourself, and how do you define yourself?"

"If you want to talk about where you make me feel similar to myself, it's probably arrogance... What kind of life philosophy is based on your high tolerance without asking for anything in return?"

"Teacher, I hate you..."

Finally, Orihara Rin also said.

——"But, more than anyone else, I want to see clearly...your heart."
