flower and big devil

Accompanied by the earth-shattering bang of "bang", as the dust flew, it seemed that the ground under the feet was also vibrated because of it...

Luo Xiu didn't know how Rick, who was still under the pile of ruins, felt when he heard these loud noises.

The "crane tail" was thrown towards the thick walls like a bomb, and finally they were bombed into a pile of ruins. When the squeezed pile of ruins began to tremble violently, Luo Xiu coughed a few times and narrowed his eyes slightly. In his line of sight, he really saw a serious crack in the ruins of the wall composed of huge stone blocks that he thought he had to use a crane to remove.

When he realized what he had done, he swung the wolf hammer in his hand once again, and with greater force than before, smashed the huge horse's head against the wall where a crack had appeared— —“呯”—“呯”——

The hands holding the dead branches of the vines were trembling almost uncontrollably. When the black-haired young man always vaguely felt that the act of feeding the "pet" just now seemed to have made a big difference, the huge Finally, after a strange light "click", the stubborn stone split along the gap to the crack and split to both sides.

The light spilled directly from the cracked stone into the originally dark cell.

However, the black-haired young man almost didn't even take a look inside. Holding the huge horse-headed wolf hammer, he came to Ike Hari's room——a room that had collapsed even more severely. , he used to think that the violent bears were imprisoned here, and he didn't even come here——

He was wrong, completely wrong.

The walls began to vibrate slightly, as if someone was frantically hitting them with their own body, making loud vibrations like when the big bell at the back of the church was being rung. It was smashed open little by little, and when the strong wind rolled up by the stones when it collapsed, waves of blood and rancid smell rushed towards his face, Luo Xiu was caught off guard, he just finished "stretching his shins" suddenly Suddenly inhaling a big mouthful of such rancid breath, the black-haired young man paused, his face that had not much blood in the first place was almost a little pale and blue now.

The smell coming out of Ike Harley's room is a hundred times stronger than in Rick's room - if Rick's room smells like a few dead mice under the bed or something If so, Ike Hari's room smells like a rat cemetery.

Putting his hands on his knees, he calmed down the paradoxical reaction of the lungs eager to breathe and the sense of smell refusing to breathe. Through the black hair hanging down in front of his eyes, the black-haired young man looked expressionlessly at the two rooms surrounded by him. The opened room——In Rick's room, Luo Xiu easily saw the man huddled in the corner next to the toilet, like a wriggling fat worm... The light is still too dim, Luo Xiu It was almost impossible to see what the fat man huddled in the dark corner looked like, until a drop of sweat dripped down his chin, the black-haired young man raised his hand, wiped the sweat, straightened his waist and stood up .

Turning over his hand, the dead branch of the vine in his hand turned into a purple grape as round as a purple crystal and fell on the palm of the black-haired young man. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard a "pop" sound not far away. After the strange sound, the "crane tail" also flew out of the ruins as if it had been used before, and automatically returned to the rope around the neck of the black-haired young man like a pendant.

He casually stuffed the purple crystal-like grape into the pocket of the chanting robe, and at the same time, the black-haired young man tore off the rope hanging around his neck: "...it's time to do it before it even starts." Do you just want to rest?"

In the midst of the dust, if there were other people around, I am afraid that they would not have time to see clearly what this black-haired young man did—in short, when he stepped on the gravel, bent down and stepped into the dark room through the cracked crack. When he was in the room, he was holding a ball of meat that hummed reluctantly, with protruding spikes that shone with a cold metallic luster.

Luo Xiu walked into Ike Hari's room.

Surprisingly, the windows in Ike Hari's room were completely preserved-compared to Rick's completely dark room, the light came in from the other side of the building, allowing people who had just walked into the room The black-haired young man easily saw the horror in the room——

There are ruins made of broken stones everywhere.Starting from the place where Luo Xiu was standing, a streak of dry and blackened blood dragged all the way to a certain corner of the room—as if someone dragged his wound all the way from where Luo Xiu was standing, all the way to his own. It seemed to be dragged into a corner... There was a bed in the corner, the bed had been completely turned upside down, the white sheets were torn, and there were traces of dried blood everywhere on the sheets, and at the foot of the bed, There was a young man sitting there, he was almost pale and bloodless, Luo Xiu was amazed that in just four days, he could torture a good young man into the current appearance that just crawled out of hell.

Ike Hari sat on the edge of the bed with his head down. When Luo Xiu walked in, he didn't respond at all.

But Luo Xiu knew he was still alive.

Because at the moment when the wall was cut open, he seemed to see, as if it was a conditioned reflex, the body of the young man leaning on the sidelines trembled slightly... Although he quickly recovered the death-like state at the beginning silence.

The eyes of the black-haired young man turned, and finally stayed on the blood-stained sheet covering the lower body of Ike Hari. He walked over expressionlessly, squatted down, and then, with an undeniable speed and strength, slammed He tossed the dirty sheet back—then he found the center of the stench that emanated from the room.

In this way, Ike Hari's right calf bone was exposed under the eyes of the black-haired young man.

Compared with the still intact left calf, the calf that had been plucked clean, leaving only a white joint sticky with blood, looked extremely glaring... When Luo Xiu lifted the sheet, flies buzzed. Flying up from the rotten flesh of the wound near the knee, a large black group, like a bomb that exploded suddenly, makes one's scalp numb.

Luo Xiu subconsciously dodged back, then lost his balance, and threw himself to the ground.

The black-haired young man let out a cry of pain—at the same time, Ike Hari, who was leaning against the bed, suddenly moved. He turned his head and glanced at the black-haired young man beside him with eyes that were so numb that there was no emotion After one glance, he chuckled, opened his mouth suddenly, and asked slowly in a hoarse voice: "Alice?"

"……………………"

Luo Xiu was surprised that this guy actually called out his name.

"Alice," Ike Harley's voice was rough and hoarse as if his throat had just been scalded by boiling water, "Have you ever heard a song written by Rick?"

Staring at the person in front of him with strange eyes, Luo Xiu really wanted to tell this stupid young man that if his wound was not treated for two days, it would probably rot and maggot... Judging from the smell, it might already be like this now, but But it's too dark for him to see clearly--anyway, their focus right now is clearly not "Rick's song"--who cares?

"Rick's songs are very good, very good—his songs have soul, I know, because every time he writes them, he puts his heart into them, and when he sings them, he seems to put his heart into them—ah, the mouth No grounds, Alice, if you haven't heard those songs, will I sing them to you?"

Luo Xiu wanted to say it was not good.

But he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say it—because before he had time to vibrate his vocal cords to make a sound, he saw Ike Hayi, who was leaning against the bedside and almost dying, smiled from him in the dim light, Like an old man who is about to end his life, his smile looks fearless and fearless.

"Itoldanotherlietoday (I told another lie today); ndIgotthroughthisday (And I got away with it today); Noonesawthrough mygames (No one saw through my tricks)..."

The faint singing sounded, completely changing the tune, which made the originally sad melody suddenly become a little creepy... Luo Xiu felt his goosebumps stand up a little bit, and he clenched his hands tightly. The meat ball in his hand, a pair of black pupils are almost so bright in the dark that people dare not look directly at them——

But at this time, after a slight pause, Ike Hari suddenly stopped singing.Ike Hari looked at Luo Xiu, blinked, and said with a figure that looked like an intelligent robot, "It's dinner time."

As the young man spoke, he groped and grabbed a piece of broken tile from his side——

At this point, Luo Xiu finally knew where this guy got the tools to cut his own flesh so cleanly.

While the young man was talking, he held up the tile in his hand, and before Luo Xiu had time to reach out and snatch it from his hand, he stabbed him hard into his left calf without hesitation— — There was only a soft bang, and the blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying again on the bed sheets that were so dirty that they couldn't see their original color.

Before he dug the meat off his calf, Luo Xiu almost rushed forward regardless of his embarrassment, and grabbed his hand—although he was mentally prepared, but when he touched the young man's wrist At that time, the cold low temperature coming from the palm of his hand still made the black-haired young man tremble slightly uncontrollably, and he almost couldn't restrain himself from handing over the name "Ike Hari" from his mouth.

Aike Hari stopped digging his own flesh and turned to look at Luo Xiu.

The dark-haired young man was almost suffocated by the gaze of the creature that was so calm that it was not alive.

He heard his chest throbbing, and after a long time, he tried to calmly say in a voice that didn't sound like much emotion: "I told you that blind sacrifice does not represent friendship."

"But Rick is hungry."

"Even if he starves to death," Luo Xiu raised his voice, "you don't need to make the sacrifice of cutting off your own flesh to satisfy him—what did you get, Ike Hari, you lied to your friend , in order to satisfy your wishful belief that "sacrifice something for your friend" - just like when you came to Buddha Lomon with Rick, you have been making unilateral sacrifices, regardless of whether you are the one who accepts Do your friends want to accept it or not!"

Aike Hari looked at Luo Xiu calmly: "I don't ask for anything in return."

Luo Xiu sneered: "Bundled with such a great sentiment as 'gift', it is often more stressful for those who receive the gift than 'asking for something in return'."

Ike Hari: "But Rick didn't reject me, we are best friends."

"I have to take back what I said before." Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Maybe you are a psychopath—the paranoia that ignores other people's opinions and imposes what you think is good on others just to satisfy your own selfish desires What about Kuang's position?"

Ike Hari fell silent.

Luo Xiu raised his head slightly, and looked at the small pair of eyes of the young man beside him at this time, but he thought that he was exhausted and bleeding too much, and looked abnormally chaotic.

In those eyes, there was an unprecedented calmness.

The eyes were very familiar, they reminded Luo Xiu of those Mr. Squirrels who stood on his shoulders and quietly watched the violent bear being burned by the raging fire he spit out.

"What did I do wrong?" Ike Hari lowered his voice and asked, as if he was asking Luo Xiu. In fact, the voice sounded more like he was talking to himself.

Luo Xiu opened his mouth, but did not answer his question - because obviously, there is a better person who can answer Ike Hari's question at this time - the gravel coming from behind the two was stepped on Immediately afterwards, the sound of someone trying to move a heavy object came from the direction of the wall connecting Rick and Ike Hari's room... When Luo Xiu turned his head, he could just I saw, a chubby, worm-like figure appeared behind the gap obediently.

"Ike Hari?" Rick asked cautiously.

Luo Xiu felt that the person next to him on the bed moved—he moved a little bit, this poor person probably subconsciously wanted to look decent in front of his friends: "Rick, I'm not Did I tell you, don't peek at me, and don't try to come to me?"

"I heard your singing," Rick felt in the dark, and took a step forward cautiously - his fat belly was stuck in the middle of the crack in the wall, and he seemed to be trying hard to squeeze himself towards the wall , he said in a very hard voice as he moved, "I heard you singing that song I wrote - it made me a little concerned, what reminded you of it - oh shit I can't get over it I'm stuck Here it is!"

Luo Xiu: "..."

Ike Hari seemed to sneer helplessly, and shook his head: "Don't struggle, just stay there."

Rick fell silent for a moment.

According to the script, it's Violent Bear's turn to wake up and sing the song that Mr. Squirrel didn't finish just now—what's the next line?Luo Xiu tried his best to remember, but at this moment, he heard Rick who was stuck in the crack of the wall not only did not sing, but said in that pitiful tone: "Ike Hari, I'm hungry."

“………………………………”

Luo Xiu took a breath, and at the same time, he saw Ike Hari's hand holding the sharp-edged brick trembled—the hand on the opponent's wrist had to be more forceful, Luo Xiu Turning around, he gave the chubby man a hard look in the darkness: "Your head is on your stomach? Rick, look at your friend, he's going to die!"

"Dead?" Rick asked subconsciously, "Why?"

Luo Xiu couldn't answer this idiot's question, but Ike Hari, who was beside him, answered the question: "Huh? Why?—I think about it, Rick, it's probably because I lied to you—oh ——Alice is right, I am using you, Rick, using your weakness to satisfy my desire for 'greatness'." At the end of the words, Ike Hay sneered nervously said.

"What are you talking about? Ike Hari, I don't understand what you're talking about!" Rick sounded like he was starting to move his fat stomach in a panic again, "What use of me—you never used me Me! How can you say such a self-defeating—”

"Yes, compared to saying that Ike Hari used you, I think it's more appropriate to say this in reverse."

The black-haired young man who had always been silent interrupted the fat man. He threw away Ike Hari's hand, glanced at him in warning, and then grabbed the meatballs that had been put aside and stood up. He turned around, and in the dim light Zhong Zhong silently stared at the fat man who suddenly became quiet after hearing his words——

"Are you still acting? Rick, it's the end of the play. How long are you going to play the role of the clown? The last second of the show? Or the curtain call? Or simply until the curtain call?"

"..."

The man stuck in the crack of the wall didn't answer Luo Xiu's words, but with the sound of falling rocks, the huge body seemed to free himself from the gap without any effort—from the crack of the wall The fat man came out from the middle of the room with his back to the light, stood five meters away from Luo Xiu, and smiled, but unfortunately the smile didn't reach his eyes: "What are you talking about, Alice, I don't understand."

"You have been sincerely misleading me from the beginning."

Luo Xiu almost gnawed his back molars into pieces, and the flame of anger that had been placed in a row was completely burned at this moment. He stared at the fat man in front of him, and said viciously——

"It was you who put Ike Harley into a fight with Jim, who was going to use him from the beginning to cover for you the fact that you were the 'infection'; tell me it was Ike Harley who took the initiative to attack Borja and not all You are the one who is considered another patient; you are the one who told me that the smell of blood was caused by being too clumsy and hurt yourself in order to avoid my doubts; you revealed between the lines You are concerned about your friend Ike Hari, but when I come to visit and talk to you, you keep emphasizing how hard it would be if it wasn't for my presence - but never mentioning that I should come to Ike Hari look at him or talk to him! What are you hiding, what are you afraid of - Rick, I'm so stupid, you have too many loopholes, but I never noticed these detail!"

"I do not have……"

"To shut up!"

"..."

The dimly lit room fell into a deadly silence for an instant.

Luo Xiu could almost only hear his beating heartbeat, his breathing that became unstable due to anger and fast speaking, and the sound of rain falling from the sky coming in from outside.

a long time.

"Ah, so it is like this." Throwing away the tile in his hand, Ike Hari smiled softly, his chaotic eyes regained clarity at this moment, it was a disturbing change, just like dying The patient was looking back at the light——however, he looked at the fat man not far away with his smile unchanged. He lowered his head against the light and could not clearly see the emotion on his face. He repeated as if confirming, "So it is."

"That's it," Luo Xiu said expressionlessly, "This guy is very happy to eat your meat—do you think he really can't tell the difference between steak and human flesh? You two are just the same."

"Half weight?"

"That's right, half a catty."

"Sounds like the right thing to do."

Ike Hari was not angry. Instead, he chuckled happily, opened his mouth again, and sang with his strangely hoarse voice. The faint voice almost melted into the sound of tick-tock hitting the eaves. In the sound of the raindrops on the gravel, if you don’t listen carefully, it is almost difficult to hear, but when you hear it, you seem to be dazed, and you feel that the singing is lingering in your ears——

"Itold another lie today (I told another lie today); nd I got through this day (And I got away with it this day); No one saw through my games (No one saw through my tricks)... But (But); Alone)--"

In Ike Hari's singing, Rick's voice also sounded slowly - the low male voices overlapped together, like the strangest duet in the world -

"These secrets are walls that keep us alone (The secret is the wall that separates us, that keeps us alone; Ineedy out now (I need you to know); I''m not through the night (I'm not walking through the night); Somedays I'm still fighting to walk toward the light (Sometimes, I'm struggling to find the light) -"

While singing, Rick changed.

Huge, fly-like wings stretched the thick flesh on his back, and with the sound of fabric breaking, the blue robe was stretched open, and the pieces of meat splashed everywhere; It sounded like something sticky fell to the ground, Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then saw Rick's dark brown eyeballs on the messy ground...

They had looked at him so pitifully, seeking his help.

The black-haired young man stared at them for a while, then he sighed, waved the meatball in his hand, and amidst the sound of the sharp blade of "Tiger Tiger" cutting through the air, he slightly arched his body and pulled AI Kehii—Mr. Squirrel was completely protected behind him.

The barb pierced Rick's white and tender skin, and his arm was covered with blood.

When the wings started to flap, the fly Rick, who was no longer Rick at all, flapped its wings covered with viscous liquid, and flew up buzzingly—the space in the room was very small , it can't fly very high, but when it starts to flap its wings, a rotten stench hits the face!

This time, Luo Xiu didn't hesitate anymore - he strode forward and pressed his shoulders hard against Rick's abdomen. When the giant fly floating in the sky let out an inexplicable cry of pain, he grabbed himself tightly. The meat dumpling in his hand stabbed towards its abdomen without hesitation!

Behind him, Ike Hari still maintained the original posture and leaned against the foot of the bed. He moved his lips mechanically, and stared straight ahead with numb eyes—blood flowed out from under the white sheet covering his body, silently. The floor almost spread across the entire floor of the room.

When Luo Xiu pulled out the meat ball from the fly's abdomen, and watched its intestines or other organs being pulled out together, he took a step back, and was almost slipped by the sticky blood on the ground——

He was startled, and subconsciously stretched out his hand towards Ike Hari to see what he had done to bleed so much—and at this moment, not far from him, there was a kind of embarrassing expression in the mouth of Rick the fly. The ball of light being processed—in such a small room, Luo Xiu, who had retreated to the very edge, found that he had no room to hide—

When the ball of light turned into a color he was familiar with, the light from the ball of light almost illuminated the entire room, and the black-haired young man's peripheral vision desperately swept across the mold spots and cobwebs in the corner—finally, a cloth Full of blood - the dirty bed sheet was the last remaining object in his sight!

Almost without any consideration, when the ball of light rushed towards Luo Xiu with a scorching breath, the black-haired young man seemed to be hiding behind the dining table in a dream, accompanied by a burst of "russling" With the sound of the cloth flying, he lifted the tail of the "crane tail" attached to his buttocks, and amidst the sound of "guji" reluctantly, the black shadow quickly expanded and raised above his head, and suddenly covered himself and Ike Hari's voice--

His whole body almost fell onto Ike Hari's body because of this excessive force.

He heard the ball of light "rumbling" hitting the meaty ball's enlarged tail, however, when the ball of light that could melt even the gravel met the black shield-like tail, it did not go as Luo Xiu expected. Bounced back as in--

Just like in a dream, the fly-like Rick was completely burned by the fireball he spit out.

Luo Xiu panted heavily, opened the bed sheet, and when he lowered his head, he saw the broken tiles in Ike Hari's deep thigh artery at this time—blood, which had probably already existed in this young man's body. The little blood left continuously gushes out from the deeply pierced wound...

Luo Xiu grabbed the bed sheet and stood there, almost dumbfounded.

Behind him, Rick the Fly was burnt to give off an unpleasant stench, like the burnt smell in a pig slaughterhouse mixed with blood, and an inexplicable, putrid stench that probably belonged to death... …

The fly fell from mid-air to the ground. When the wet ground hit the high temperature and made a "sizzling" sound, Luo Xiu saw that the corner of Ike Hari's lips also faintly evoked a smile. He turned his head, Passing over Luo Xiu, he looked at the huge creature that was burning on the ground not far from him and gradually turned into a mass of carbide.

In Ike Hari's increasingly clear smile, in the raging flames, the "Rick the Fly" who had grown fangs and turned into blood-red eyeballs the size of tennis balls, opened his mouth and used that The voice that had probably been burned hoarsely sang——

"ThedayIchosennottoeat (I chose not to eat this day), WhatIdoknowishowI'vechangedmylifeforever (All I know is that my life has changed forever since then)."

Fly Rick raised his hands, and under Luo Xiu's shocked eyes, with a loud "snap", he broke his head from his neck like this, his body, his head like Like throwing a football, aiming at the direction of Ike Hari, lightly tossing——

When Ike Hari made a catch motion——

Fly Rick fell down with a loud bang.

A beam of red light flew towards Luo Xiu from the burning flame - the black-haired young man couldn't even dodge, followed by a familiar sharp pain at the mole under his eyes... …The weapon he was holding tightly in his hand fell to the ground, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead——Luo Xiu suddenly covered his face and let out an unbearable cry of pain. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ike leaning against the bed. Hari stretched out his hand, and hugged Rick tightly in his arms.

When Luo Xiu fell into the trouble of being unable to concentrate due to the pain from the skin under his eyes, Ike Hari, who was holding his good friend's head, also slowly swallowed his last breath.

The rain outside the window did not know when it stopped.

The north wind mixed with the moist breath of rain was blowing in from the window.

With one hand covering half of his cheek that was still twitching due to pain, Luo Xiu picked up the weapon, stood up, and looked around expressionlessly... After a few seconds, the black-haired young man seemed to feel that everything in front of him seemed extremely absurd With a mocking chuckle, he took a step forward, listening to Rick's body that had been burnt to carbon make a soft "creak" sound under his feet. After a slight pause, the black-haired young man almost shook his head. Without looking back, he strode out of the suffocating room.

In the silent room, only the corners of the black-haired young man's slightly raised lips were left, humming faintly——

"And foramoment, foramomentI find hope (for a moment, for a moment, I find hope)..."

……

"Long live your friendship in hell, Violent Bear and Mr. Squirrel."

Volume III Ⅲ · Covetousness (jealousy)
