Salvation equals death

This is a world dominated by supernatural abilities.

After the "luminous babies" first appeared in Qingqing City, Huaguo, humans with congenital supernatural abilities began to appear one after another all over the world, and have continued to develop until today.

But in the beginning, the emergence of supernatural abilities was not accepted by human beings. During the transitional period of world renewal, they were rejected, hostile, and even almost cruelly persecuted.And in those dark times, a mother who embraced her supernatural baby yelled words like "that's just his personality" before being tortured to death, so since then, such supernatural abilities have had a definition .

--personality.

With the emergence of such supernatural abilities, the collapse of order and the dissatisfaction of people's hearts surged out like sludge, and more people chose to satisfy their selfish desires after gaining power.

People who use their personalities for crimes are called "enemies" by the society, and another profession that emerged at the historic moment also came to the stage from the depths of human fantasy.

--hero.

People call "heroes" who have supernatural abilities and are active in the front line against criminals. Heroes not only fight criminals, but also use their abilities to save people under natural disasters.

In this society where all the people worship heroes, the benefits of professional heroes are far beyond the imagination of others, but the various negative effects caused by the professionalization of heroes are also inevitable.

Money worship, hypocrisy, profit-seeking, vicious competition, and even going all out to get a higher ranking—there are very few heroes who really have the spirit of sacrifice.

Chihei Xueran was originally a student of the Heroic Academy. He had a very high respect for the existence of heroes, but he was disappointed in the academy known as the "cradle of heroes", so he dropped out of school and left Heroic without hesitation.

Chihei Xueran can't bear this society full of counterfeit products. He believes that only those who truly have the spirit of sacrifice deserve to be called "heroes" by the world, and the others are just inferior counterfeit products.

However, no matter how he promotes his ideology and beliefs, no matter how hard he tries to resonate with the world, the final result is nothing but discouragement.

In this society, someone needs to wake up the real heroes.

Kill those fakes and those garbage who do evil to satisfy their own selfish desires. Only by clearing and deterring this dirty society can the real heroes rise like the sun.

Chihei Xueran gave up his bright future and plunged into the darkness without hesitation. He even came to this remote mountain village and the ancient Kuze Palace in order to learn the ninjutsu of killing people.

Chihei Xueran came here to visit a ninja, he was the executioner in the Kuze Palace, and he was responsible for clearing out the disciples who violated the Kuze family rules and the priestess who broke the precepts.

What he has is the ninjutsu of killing people, and what Chiguro Xueran wants to learn is exactly this kind of ninjutsu for killing people.

Chihei Xueran's personality is "blood coagulation", as long as he licks the enemy's blood, he can immobilize the opponent. This is not a particularly outstanding personality, but such a personality is just right for a ninja who is good at assassination.

As long as the opponent loses the ability to resist, it is nothing more than fish on the chopping board.

Aiming at Chiguro's blood-stained personality, Kuzemiya's ninja set up a complete development route for him, teaching him how to combine sword skills with his own personality, so as to unleash huge lethality.

Chihei Xueran also wondered why the old man was willing to accept him as a disciple, but the old man just told him that Kuze Palace might become his final destination, because his ideas are very suitable for this shrine.

"Kuse Palace, also known as the 'House of Sleep', every priestess here is a 'hero' that fits your inner definition."

Chihei Xueran has already determined to be a villain, but he still respects his teacher. Facing the old man's comments, he who respects and yearns for heroes couldn't help but search for a "witch" in the huge Kuze Palace .

It's a baby.

The five-year-old miko-sama is named "Kuze Linghua", the adopted daughter of the current Patriarch Kuze, who lives in a shallow place, and the red-black blood stained only met this miko when he got up to relieve his hand in the middle of the night.

The little Ruanrou girl in a red and white priestess costume was sitting on the steps of the corridor looking at the stars. Chihei Xueran was completely unresponsive when she met the girl, thinking that he was sleepwalking at night and met a firefly-turned elf.

Although the five-year-old child's eyebrows and eyes are immature, her delicate facial features and clear eyes make her look like a fairy tale, but also ethereal. Her hair and eyes are as black as ebony, and the stars and moon are intoxicated in her eyes .

That kind of too pure and clear temperament makes people dare not approach, and the red and black blood stain can't help but avoid it from a distance, lest the clean water wash his dirty arm that he took so much trouble to resolve.

The red-black blood dyed in a panic retreated too quickly, accidentally tripped over the steps, and fell into the bushes. Before the boy in the ninja uniform was scratched by the thorns, he met the child's eyes.

Chihei Xueran wiped his face in embarrassment, but the night suddenly became bright. He looked up and saw a little child approaching him step by step with a warm light in his palm.

That was really the worst encounter ever.

The little witch's personality is "light", a personality that can be said to be basically incapable of fighting, but this is not a problem in itself, because the maidens of Kuze Palace have never relied on the so-called personality.

Chihei Xueran knew the secrets of Kuzegong, such as the cruel and terrifying "soul stabbing" ceremony, and the fate of every Kuzegong shrine maiden.

When he knew this secret, Chihei Xueran found it extremely absurd, maybe his conscience was not dead, maybe his blood was not cold, or maybe he still longed to become a hero deep in his heart.

That night, he found the little witch who was watching the moon in the courtyard again, and told her the biggest secret in the Kuze Palace.

Unexpectedly, the little witch nodded calmly, but told him to hide it well, not to let others know that he already knew this secret that could be called a ban.

"Aren't you afraid?" Chihei Xueran was rarely confused. Such a cruel fate would even terrify a trained killer like him, let alone a five-year-old child?

Chihei Xueran got a more dazed look than him.

"I feel sad for the distortion and deformity of this world, but this world needs me." The girl who stayed in the church in her previous life and stayed in a shrine in this life has a literary atmosphere in her words and sentences, as if she will be caressed in the next second The penitent's head declares that God forgives you, "One and millions of multiple-choice questions, and everyone knows how to choose. Fear of this emotion alone does not solve the problem, does it?"

Chihei Xueran almost forgot that the girl beside him was only a child, otherwise why would he be able to speak such cruel words so calmly.

"But life itself cannot be measured on a balance, just like for most people, their own life is always more important than the lives of others, and the people they care about are always more important than strangers."

——Because of selfishness, but also because of feelings.

Can you accept that 30 people die a year in a city?Most people can, because there are so many people in a city, but if 30 people die, the earth will still turn, the sun will still rise, and the clock will still tick.

But what about those 30 people who are all your relatives?Can you accept it?cannot.

This is the weight and thickness of life.

Chihei Xueran looked at the girl who was as pure as a fairy tale in front of him, and his words almost exhausted the tenderness of his life: "Why did you sacrifice?"

The girl looked up at him, and the bright moon reflected in her eyes, which was unmatched in beauty: "I fight for all the good things in the world."

"Then have you seen the beauty of this world?" Chihei Xueran stared at the girl, as if seeing the most beautiful bright moon in this filthy world, "If you must have a balance in your heart, then you must have seen this world first There is no good in life, otherwise your sacrifice is meaningless. Be it killing or sacrificing, belief without purpose has no meaning in existence.”

——“To me, a true hero is worth living more than a million scumbags.”

Chihei Xueran knew that his words were half-truths and half-false, and put on a beautiful skin, as if to cover up his selfishness.

Only he himself knows how selfish and despicable a man he is.

Compared with other people in Kuze Palace, he hoped that the girl in front of him could live—at least, let her see the scenery outside.

He preached in a high-sounding manner, but he was actually no different from these people in Kuze Palace, because they were all generous to others and used other people's lives to satisfy their own selfish desires.

That ninja was right, the ideology of Kuzegong was so suitable for a villain like him, how many of the white bones buried inside were sacrificed because they "have no feelings so they don't feel sad"?

There is not a single All Mighty worth living in all the junk and fakes of the heroic society, and by the same token, the girl in front of her is the same.

Chihei Xueran thought to himself, anyway, he is no longer a hero, so it is normal to do what the enemy should do, right?

Chihei Xueran, who let the next shrine maiden go, felt that he had neither feelings nor conscience. The next day, all the ninjas from Kuze Palace went out to find the lost shrine maiden.

But the witch just disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people, never to be found again.
