third wish

The village was completely burned by a big fire. The boy sat on the altar with empty eyes, and the fire snake around him seemed to have forgotten the altar made of cypress wood.The flames burned out, and all the bloody crimes were covered up, turning into charred bones.

The boy sat on a high altar, his face was covered with dried blood, his expression was cold and dull, like a terrifying ghost in the dark night.

Suddenly, a stuffed black cloth bag was thrown in front of the boy. The boy rolled his eyes and his eyes fell on the cloth bag.A long bloodstain was drawn from the bottom of the cloth bag, and a ferocious head rolled down from the unfastened mouth of the bag to the bottom of the boy's feet. A foot with long nails and no trace of blood slowly landed on the altar.

"Kid, tell me your second wish."

The black shadow pulled out the newly grown black feathers on the wings in disgust, and bright red blood kept gushing out from the cut.

"Eden Harold."

"what?"

"My name is Eden Harold." The boy turned his neck and looked at him lifelessly.

The black shadow laughed back angrily, turned into a ferocious and terrifying face and lowered his head suddenly, a cloud of black air was sprayed heavily on the boy's face.

"Okay, my dear little friend Eden." He sneered, "You can always tell me now, what is your second wish?"

"No wishes."

"What?" Sombra paused, almost doubting his ears.

"You go, I don't have any wishes anymore." Eden looked calmly into the blood-red eyes of the black mist, "What other wishes do dead people have besides being alive again?"

The black shadow became visibly irritable, hot black smoke puffed out of his nose, and the four wings behind him slammed heavily on the altar, cutting the altar in half.

There are four wings on his back, three of which are covered with black feathers, and the wings are covered with dried and fresh blood. The feathers suddenly turned into countless sharp steel knives, and the tip of the last wing still has a Small pieces of white feathers, looking helpless and weak.

No wishes - how can a dirty and ugly mortal have no wishes!

For 500 years, he has seen the undisguised and naked desires of countless mortals.Those filthy souls, shedding the hypocritical skin on the surface, reveal corrupt, greedy, smelly, and disgusting maggots.

"The most beautiful woman in the world, I want her to fall in love with me wholeheartedly!"

"I want rights, and I want supreme rights!"

"Money, I'm nothing without money... Give me the money you can't spend!! Give me all!!"

"What?! There is only one wish left... No, not enough... My last wish is - I want three more... No, angel, I want endless wishes!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

Dirty things like humans shouldn't exist in this world.This child dared to say that he had no desires anymore, and that human beings are all the same, greedy and hypocritical.

Heiyan gritted his teeth and snorted angrily. The last white feather on his wings trembled slightly. Although he didn't want to admit it, a strange and strange feeling did arise in his heart.As if expecting something...

What else is there to look forward to?Human beings are not all the same, and the righteous words that are spoken out now will end up crying and begging for a few more wishes.

He couldn't wait to see this face full of greedy desire... Just thinking about it made his blood, which had been silent for too long, start to boil.

"I'm looking forward to it..." Heiying gritted his teeth, "What kind of expression will you have when I swallow you?"

Eden didn't answer, his eyes lost focus and slowly fell on the scorched earth.The wind slowly blew up his badly torn cloth shirt, which stuck to the cold and stiff body of the girl next to him.The girl was lying in a black box, with her head tilted, and the corner of her mouth was cut into a horrified smile by a sharp knife, as if silently laughing at this cruel world.

In the village where Eden left, there will be a bus from the city in the town, which comes once a week, and ten coins can go to the nearest McCarthy City.He washed the dried blood off his face, and dug out a few coins from the ruins.

The tattered clothes and dirty hair are out of place in the only city on the remote frontier.On the street, people in clean and bright clothes covered their noses and avoided him.A "kind-hearted" old beggar on the street gave him half a steamed bun, and the old beggar told him that a child his age could go to the orphanage in the east of the city.There was food, clean water, and a warm little bed that could be his.

Eden nodded coldly, neither saying yes nor no.The old beggar thought he was dumb, and after giving him some muddy water, he leaned against the head of the cardboard bed.With his pair of yellow eyes, he squinted at Eden's pale waist that was exposed outside, and swallowed hard a few times.

Eden hadn't planned to go to the orphanage. For him, it was just a cage that provided basic living needs.It's a pity that the weather is not good, he wandered around the streets all day long, and finally he was spotted by the police station, regardless of his struggle, he was turned to the orphanage in the east of the city.

The black shadow never left, it turned into a beautiful black cat, lying lazily on Eden's shoulder.

Eden could see the black cat, but the old beggar couldn't.

A few days ago, he blocked Eden in a corner, and when he was about to grab Eden's shoulder, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and blood dripped from his hand, which scared him away from the cardboard nest he was used to living in overnight.

"He wants to catch you, won't you struggle?"

The hair on the black cat's body was blown up, its blue eyes turned red, and its front paws stepped on Eden's bare chest.

He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Or...is this exactly what you expected?"

Eden sat calmly under the corner, turning a deaf ear to it.His neckline on the right was pulled below his chest, revealing his skin with several red marks, like fresh blood dripping on the snow.In the bloodshot eyes, the lifeless eyeballs rolled down, looked at the black cat with fried fur, and then turned their eyes to the street.

The black cat was so angry that it didn't want to speak anymore, it turned into a puff of black smoke, crashed into the wall behind Eden and disappeared.

The dean of the orphanage is a kind old woman, with long silver-white hair coiled behind her head and wearing a plain long skirt, with a gentle smile on her face and a kind and gentle tone.

She took Eden to visit the entire orphanage. The orphanage is not big, but it has complete facilities.In this city on the chaotic borderline, it is already very rare.

The accommodation area is a three-story brick building. Girls live on the second and third floors, and boys live on the first floor.

Coincidentally, Eden came, and there happened to be a quadruple room with an empty bed.There are three boys living together. The lower bunk of bed No. 1 has short wolf-tailed hair, and he always likes to play with a sharp knife in his hand. His upper bunk is a boy missing a thumb. It is said that he was sent to pay by his drunken father. The gambling debt was cut off, so I wear gloves all the year round.

Even in the sweltering summer, the two of them always liked to sleep together on the same bed. Miss Beta, who took care of them, said several times that they would not repent, and there were some bad rumors in the courtyard.

When Eden came in late, he was placed on the upper bunk of bed No. 2, and the lower bunk was occupied by a taciturn boy who liked to hide insects in the quilt.

The black cat has little interest in these people, and is particularly disgusted with the boy named Ford who lives in the lower bunk of Eden, and the red, black and black bugs he hides under the mattress. Every time he sees Ford, he The feathers on its back will be erected, and a threatening growl will come from its throat.

In the form of scorched bones, Anata was hidden in the suitcase that Eden carried with him, and lived together in this strange dormitory.
