Chapter 484 Hope

After a long time.

Another person visited.

He stopped at the end of the dense forest in the demon's lair, raised his head, and looked at the camouflaged camera that looked like a beetle hidden among the dense treetops.

This man, who looked exactly like the uninvited guest who was buried here not long ago, slowly raised the corners of his mouth with a mocking smile.

"what do you want to do?"

"my child."

His golden eyes were obscure and sinful. This was the last image transmitted by the camera, and then there was nothing but darkness.

Kazama Ruri looked at the dark screen, and the obscure golden eyes seemed to be still in front of her eyes.

His expression was incomprehensible.

"Is he really immortal?"

"King General."

…………

"Finally home!"

Mai Shutoku raised her arms high and bent her soft body backwards. She did not use any equipment, but she could easily follow the movements of a yoga master.

Bones and joints crackled.

Mai Shutoku sighed comfortably, subconsciously wanting to quarrel with Potato Chip Girl, but her words stopped on her lips. Mai Shutoku smiled and shook her head, and then she realized that Potato Chip Girl was not there.

Although the two of them usually bickered and fought, it was quite unaccustomed to them suddenly not being around each other.

"Hey, Master."

Jiudoku Mai looked around and found Lu Mingfei.

She was a little confused.

"Master, your camp is over here!"

"That direction is..."

Mai Shutoku responded.

In a sense, Lu Mingfei was going in the right direction. The rescued half-dead child was placed here.

The dark space and the long-term stagnant air make it feel stuffy.

This is the camp where half-dead children are placed.

Their predecessors were ghosts and their bloodline was extremely unstable. They were gathered in the Feng Demon Family's research institute through various channels. They took black pills for a long time. As experimental subjects, they were as miserable as white mice.

If it weren't for Lu Mingfei, they would have completely transformed into Deadpools, lost in the ferocious desire to kill.

But now, although they have retained their consciousness as humans, their distorted bodies cannot be restored. They secretly looked in the mirror and were shocked by the monster-like child in the mirror. After all, humans do not have snake scales, claws and... Tail.

They hate themselves for being like this.

Some people impulsively cut off their deformed organs.

She nearly died from the haemorrhage and subsequent infection.

It took doctors more than seventy hours to save her life.

During field surgery, the blood supply was tight, not to mention whether the blood bags they prepared would have a rejection reaction with the half-Deadpool children. At that time, the doctors were in a dilemma and were at their wits' end. It was the children who were also half-Deadpools who stepped forward and showed their matchstick-like wrists. .

"Use my blood."

Half-Deadpool to half-Deadpool blood transfusion is feasible.

It was just that the doctors looked at the half-dead children who stood up one by one and were speechless for a long time.

Testing the blood type and preparing to draw blood, the blood drawing needle pricked the deformed arm and the scales were too hard. The half-dead boy lowered his head in shame and whispered sorry.

The nurse who gave the injection breathed hard. She felt her throat was sore.

"It's my sister's fault. I'm the one who should say I'm sorry."

The nurse smiled softly.

"Come on, let's change places."

The half-Deadpool girl who couldn't believe it finally survived.

The blood all over her body was changed twice. In the end, if a tube of her blood was taken, several people could be traced back to their origins.

If she didn't have a mixed-race physique, no, just being a mixed-race wasn't enough. If she didn't have a half-deadpool physique, she wouldn't have been able to survive it.

When she opened her eyes again and realized that she was still alive, the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

The doctor talked to her, but she refused, like a lifeless piece of wood.

Until a nurse told her everything that happened in the past few days.

The light in the girl's eyes gradually brightened.

The half-deadpool's physique is obviously stronger than that of the hybrid.

Within a few days she was able to get out of bed.

The girl who regained her mobility immediately stumbled to find her friends who were also half-deadpools.

"sorry."

"sorry."

"sorry."

"It's causing trouble for everyone."

"I'm so sorry."

"besides."

she bowed deeply

"Many thanks."

"I will definitely survive."

Later, there were people who did stupid things, but she was always the first and most active one.

"With my blood!"

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Please let me help."

There was a new half-dead boy who was huddled in the corner. He had not had any water for two days. She came over with a dinner plate and placed it on the ground.

She talked to herself all by herself, and talked a lot from evening till dark.

He said the food was cold.

"So, you are not alone."

"We are companions."

She smiled.

"My name is Haruki."

"Can you tell me what your name is?"

"If we exchanged names, we would be companions."

The boy raised his head timidly, subconsciously avoiding Haruki's gaze.

Half of his face is normal, and the other half is covered in scales.

"It's cool."

Haruki said.

The boy paused, slowly raised his head, and glanced at Haruki.

"My name is……"

"By the water."

"Eh!"

Haruki said in surprise.

"By the water!"

"It's like a name from a novel character."

Shuizhibian twitched the corner of his mouth. He probably wanted to laugh, but his long-term miserable life had made him lose the ability to laugh.

"We exchanged names, we are friends now."

"You see, I was the only one talking just now."

"That's not fair."

Haruki smiled like a cunning fox.

By the water, I was stunned.

"What are you doing standing still?"

"now you."

"Tell me your story."

Haruki hugged his knees and looked up at the stars.

"You have also met that adult, right?"

Although it was very blurry, Mizunobi instantly realized who Haruki was referring to.

Here, the adult only refers to one person.

A young man smiling quietly comes to mind by the water. He speaks very little, but as long as you see his smile, you will feel a sense of stability in your heart.

It seems like there are no more problems worth worrying about.

Of course I have seen that adult by the water.

Every half-dead child here was saved by that adult.

Especially for Shuibian, who has encountered difficulties since childhood, Lu Mingfei's significance is like the only ray of sunshine in an eternal night.

"I was the first."

Haruki said.

Her voice is very soft. If you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear her clearly. It's like an illusion.

"I hate him."

"Hate him?"

It's rare to experience mood swings near water.

He was very puzzled.

"You mean, you hate that adult!"

Haruki buried the lower half of his face in his knees and hummed.

Not knowing what he thought of, Haruki laughed to himself.

"You're surprised, I actually hate that adult."

"Ha ha."

"Tell you what."

"There are many people like me."

After being quiet for a while, I didn’t know whether to ask myself or the waterside.

Haruki said.

"That one, by the water."

"you say."

"Monsters like us..."

"What's the point of living in this world?"

"This is a human world."

"No soil in which monsters can live."

"We should have died on the day we fell." "If we become completely Deadpool, we won't have to think about anything."

"No pain, no worries, and no strange looks."

"So, why did that adult want to save us?"

"Let us suffer in this world?"

Shuizhibian's face flushed red, and he wanted to say something excitedly, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak, and he scratched his head and ears anxiously.

Haruki smiled, as if to comfort Shuizhi.

"I found out later."

Haruki said.

"I'm not alone."

"We have each other."

Haruki said in a playful tone.

"A monster's companion is, of course, a monster."

"We must live no matter what, even if it is not for ourselves, we must live for each other."

Haruki said to him.

"You know, the water's edge."

"No!"

However, Shuizhibian's reaction was beyond Haruki's expectations.

He was very excited.

"It's not what you said!"

"That adult said it!"

"He will heal us!"

"He said he would cure us!"

Waterside waved his arms angrily.

Haruki was surprised at first, and then his eyes revealed the wisdom and open-mindedness of an old monk who had seen through the world.

She looked at the water's edge like an elder looking at a child.

Haruki said after the waterside calmed down.

"It can be cured."

"Are you talking about returning to normal?"

Haruki remembered it. Indeed, the adult and every half-Deadpool child had said, no, it should be a guarantee.

The Lord solemnly promised that they would be cured, every one of them.

To be honest, Haruki's respect for that adult was no less than that of any of his companions.

But she has experienced too many things and met too many people.

Haruki knows what a good lie is.

No matter how much you revere Lu Mingfei, it cannot change the objective facts.

Haruki knew very well that there was no way they, monsters, could recover.

Not at all possible.

Haruki is very sober.

But at this moment, she was looking at the edge of the water, but she couldn't tell the truth.

Water's Edge is exciting.

This boy believed in that adult.

The hope in his eyes was so dazzling.

Haruki suddenly thought how cruel it would be to extinguish this light of hope.

So she nodded.

"Um."

"If it were that adult..."

"It can definitely be done!"

Haruki said this, silently replacing "should" with "sure" in his heart.

Waterside smiled happily.

It's great to have someone who agrees with your thoughts.

From then on they often ate together.

There are more words by the water.

He eloquently described life after recovery to Haruki.

After Lu Mingfei cured them and returned to normal.

There is a lot to do near the water.

He wants to go to Hokkaido, Okinawa, and even wants to go abroad.

"Go abroad."

Haruki asked.

“If you could, which country by the water would you like to go to?”

"No need to ask!"

The water's edge was full of interest.

"Of course it's the Far East!"

This was Haruki's expected answer.

The reason is actually very simple.

Because the Far East is the hometown of that gentleman.

Almost all half-Deadpool children dream of one day going to the Far East and setting foot on the land where that adult once lived.

"so good."

Haruki said longingly.

"If you can walk in the sunshine openly."

"I really want to go to the Far East."

"Um!"

Waterside nodded vigorously.

"OK."

"Certainly possible."

"The Lord promised us."

"So he can definitely do it!"

Haruki listened quietly with a polite smile on his face.

Occasionally, such thoughts will cross my mind, like a shooting star.

What if what was said by the water's edge came true?

Whenever such thoughts occur, Haruki can't help but beat faster, excited for such a future.

But the excitement lasted only a moment.

Haruki knew it very well.

It's impossible for them, who are half-Deadpool, to return to normal.

No chance.

Haruki relied on his cold reason to extinguish the flames of unrealistic delusions rising in his heart time and time again.

It's not that Chunshu doesn't believe in Lu Mingfei.

But the disappointment after the hope is too uncomfortable.

Haruki didn’t want to taste it.

Shuizhibian was very excited, not just Haruki, he often found other half-dead children to talk about things after recovery.

But not every half-Deadpool kid is Haruki.

Ghosts are inherently creatures with character flaws, and it is normal for some people to be irritable.

"You kid!"

"What nonsense are you talking about every day!"

Several older children gathered around the water, looking fierce.

"Stop saying such ridiculous things."

"A monster should have the consciousness of a monster."

"Did you hear that?"

The big kids were pushing me around, and the thin waterside was like a football, letting them push me around.

The other half-Deadpool kids watched silently.

Waterside's popularity is not good, and he always talks about recovery or returning to normal. Many people actually think that Waterside's brain is broken, otherwise there is no way to explain what this guy is doing.

Shuizhibian wanted to resist, but was hit hard on the head. He was dizzy and could only spin around like a top.

"stop!"

Several older children looked over.

Haruki came over angrily.

She put her hands on her hips.

"We are companions!"

"Do you know what you are doing!"

"Stop it now!"

Chunshu is very popular, and the older children have smiles on their faces.

"Oh, it's Haruki."

"You may not know this kid's situation."

"He actually..."

"I know!"

Haruki faced them bravely.

The older children actually began to avoid Haruki's gaze, as if they were about to be burned.

"I believe what Water's Edge says."

"If it is that adult."

"It will definitely cure us!"

Shui Bian, who had his head drooped, slowly raised his head.

In the black and white world in his eyes, there was only a hint of color.

That's Haruki.

How dazzling.

Waterside said in his heart.

Spring tree.

"Are you OK."

Haruki asked.

"Um."

A big smile appeared on the water's edge.

Soon, a lonely look appeared on Shuizhibian's face.

"That's it, Haruki."

"Actually, everyone is just laughing at my joke."

"Healing or something."

"And that adult's promise."

"Everyone just thinks it's a joke."

Shuizhi Bian was hit on the head. He held his head and complained about the pain, and heard Haruki's scolding.

"What are you talking about, bastard!"

"Since you believe in that adult!"

"Just keep believing in me!"

Haruki raised his head when he saw the water's edge, and also saw the light gradually glowing in the boy's eyes.

At this moment she suddenly thought.

Maybe there's no harm in trying to really believe and dream about it, right?

What if it comes true?

Until this day.

I heard that the adult is back!

Haruki was out of breath running, and finally arrived.

She stood outside for a while, calming her breathing and patting her face.

I’m going to see that adult, I’m going to see that adult, I’m going to see that adult!

Every cell in Haruki's body was cheering.

She walked into the tent.

Chunshu looked at Lu Mingfei immediately.

When he really saw Lu Mingfei, Chunshu felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.

It's just, so strange.

Haruki thought.

Why is someone crying?

Chun Shu looked around.

Someone is really crying, it's the water's edge.

Has Waterside been bullied?

But that adult is here too, who dares...

While Haruki was thinking this, he heard the discussion of his companions next to him.

"did not expect……"

"yes……"

"It's really amazing."

Haruki felt like a cat was tickling her heart. She couldn't wait to know what these people were talking about.

Finally, she heard it.

Someone said with emotion.

"That Lord, it turns out he can really cure us."

"That kid got it right."

"What about that kid? His name is Waterside."

"Yeah, I have to say, Water's Edge is pretty awesome too."

Haruki couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Haruki covered his mouth, the only way to keep from making any sound.

She felt like her mind was going blank.

There was only one thought left that kept echoing.

"Heal...heal...heal...

I can heal!
