Starting from the creation of Samadhi True Fire at Shenhuoshuo Village

"What do you usually like to smoke?"

"...for cigars, DANAMAN, and for cigarettes, PEACE."

"Peace card? PEACE..."

Of course Yoshino Junpei doesn't know anything about cigarettes. He is only interested in literary and artistic works. But when he heard that the cigarette that such a strong and tough eldest sister liked to smoke turned out to be the Peace brand, he couldn't help but feel a strong contrast.

'I always feel that he is so handsome...'

Yoshino Junpei looked at the cigarettes he handed to the woman. They were called Custer, and they only cost a few hundred neon dollars a pack. He didn't know if she liked them.

For some reason, Yoshino Junpei had developed a strong yearning for and dependence on her without even realizing it.

What topics should we talk about next? What should you say next to keep her?

"May I know your name?"

After Yoshino Junpei asked an extremely humble question, he turned his head away in embarrassment.

This is like the kind of bad gangster who strikes up a conversation with a girl, and a beauty with such an outstanding temperament looks like the daughter of a rich family and a big company. She might be a gangster, and even a gangster doesn't want to provoke her, right?

Yoshino Junpei had just finished asking, and by chance, a fat middle-aged man with a middle-parted head and a big belly came over.

"Yo? Isn't this Yoshino? I haven't seen you for a while. Want to talk to the teacher?"

The fat man looked at the blond woman with a look of contempt in his eyes, then patted Yoshino Junpei on the shoulder and hugged her out.

"I said, Yoshino, what are you doing after you drop out of school? Why don't you come back and take classes? Knowledge is the most important wealth..."

——"I have something else to do. Goodbye."

"and many more……"

Yoshino Junpei looked at the blond girl who was gradually walking away. He just wanted to get rid of the teacher's entanglement, but he didn't know whether to disturb her or not. In the end, he could only stay in place motionless.

However, the blond girl turned her head and said softly——

"Riko Tennai."

"..."

After that, the girl opened the box of Custer's cigarettes and walked away.

'Miss Tennai...'

Yoshino Junpei kept this name firmly in his heart.

Then the teacher started to have a long talk with him.

"Yoshino, why are you hanging out with that kind of person? Are you dating? He looks like a delinquent. This is not good..."

"When you were in the class, you didn't have a good relationship with those classmates. Obviously everyone was a child with a good personality, but you are like this..."

Bullshit, all bullshit.

People with human faces and animal hearts are more terrifying than beasts with animal faces and hearts, because they are hypocritical.

Teachers don’t know anything. They have been working in schools since they graduated from school and have never experienced society at all.

Yoshino Junpei thought so, dealt with a few nagging words from the teacher, and started on his way home perfunctorily.

……

One alley, two alleys, through the front alley you can see the tall banyan tree in your backyard.

‘Can I meet Miss Tennai again in the future? ’

Yoshino Junpei fantasized about living with Riko Tenuchi, eating and working together, and then beating those who had bullied him before and those who came to provoke him to bloody pieces.

If it were Miss Tennai, she would definitely be able to do it.

Just thinking about it, Yoshino Junpei seemed to really smell blood.

Are you thinking so much that you are hallucinating?

"Do not……"

Suddenly, Yoshino Junpei woke up.

It really smells like blood. The alley in front has a very strong smell of blood, just like what you smell when passing by a fish-killing vendor.   Will any cats or dogs be crushed to death by cars?

Yoshino Junpei took a few steps forward, and the moment he rounded the alley entrance - even his brain was trembling.

It's my three classmates!

Three classmates who had bullied him were clinging to the wall at the entrance of the alley. Their bodies were covered with horrifying purple-black pustules, and their hands and feet were violently deformed.

The throats of each of them have been blocked by huge blue lumps, and they are unable to make any screams. Their identities can only be vaguely identified by looking at their faces.

In front of them stood a rather lean man with long hair.

Yoshino Junpei took a closer look.

Isn't this the long-haired man who suddenly disappeared in the cinema?

There was no mistaking it, because his blue hair, which was tied into three strands, was so rare.

Unexpectedly, after escaping from the cinema, he met everyone he had met before.

A real person, a special magic spirit.

Although he is a cursed spirit, he is the most human-looking among the cursed spirits, so to Yoshino, he is just a big brother dressed in trendy clothes.

The real person caressed the bodies of the three teenagers one by one, with a pleasant smile on his lips, and gently traced the lumps in their throats with his fingers.

When the mass burst open, blood flew everywhere, and the faces of the three people quickly deformed, shrinking into unrecognizable monsters in an instant!

"!!!"

Although I am not very sensitive to dead bodies, seeing such a scene with my own eyes was too shocking.

A physical nausea suddenly hit him. Yoshino Junpei covered his mouth gently without making a sound, and finally overcame it.

When he noticed it, he realized that his legs were stiff.

This person is not human.

I'm afraid he just didn't notice himself when he was in the movie theater.

Could he be the next one to be killed?

And here.

After the real person looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, he turned his head without any pause.

He had long discovered that Yoshino Junpei was behind him.

When Yoshino saw Masato's gray and blue eyes staring at him, his heart trembled suddenly, but he did not scream.

He was a little scared, but not much.

After all, by killing these three classmates, the real person had avenged himself.

Even if he wants to kill himself next, fear won't solve any problems.

However, it is the exact opposite of Yoshino's calmness.

When he saw Yoshino Junpei's body trembling slightly, Masato looked surprised.

"what?"

"You can see me. It's amazing~"

Yoshino Junpei swallowed and nodded.

'He can communicate with me normally...is he a human? ’

Masato covered his chin and looked at Yoshino Junpei with interest, then moved two steps away to let Yoshino Junpei take a good look at his masterpiece.

The body organs of the three Yoshino classmates were pieced together randomly at this moment, forming three stinking flesh balls. Yoshino couldn't help but think of a movie he had watched called "The Song of Saya" Scriptwork.

"Aren't you afraid? I killed them all?"

Masato said to Yoshino with a smile.

However, seeing Masato speaking so calmly, Yoshino Junpei became even calmer.

"I don't feel anything." (End of chapter)
