Subsequently.

Blood flowers bloom on the hard concrete floor.

died.

At such a height, no one can survive, let alone an old woman, and there is no possibility of surviving.

Even if he is sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, he will not be able to come back.

"...this...what is it?"

Kamijou Touma's pupils shrank suddenly, and the chills flowed all over his body along the blood vessels, freezing him in place, and it took him a while to regain his senses.

Understood.

The source of this instability, in fact, is people's sense of the gap from the dream to the cruel reality, just like the rich lose all their wealth and can't bear to choose suicide.

Such a sense of hopeless psychological gap... is worldwide.

And that means.

"It's...it's normal, boy."

From behind, came the tired voice of an old man.

Kamijou Touma immediately turned his head and saw a neatly dressed and gray-haired old man approaching gracefully. He slowly smoked a cigar and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

"If you haven't experienced happiness in your life, then maybe... you can live in an unhinged state until old age and death, like a slave to spend your whole life, but if someone has been in contact with happiness... they can no longer bear this bad world, and give birth to escape The idea of ​​this bad world."

The old man walked to Kamijou Touma's side and looked at the dead old woman under the building opposite.

"Next, boy...you may experience a very special moment in your life, watching countless people jump from tall buildings, like falling raindrops... dyeing the world red."

When the words fell, the old man climbed over the wall and stood on the edge. He opened his arms and was about to jump off the tall building. There was no trace of fear in his appearance, but instead revealed an unprecedented sense of ease.

It can even be said that it is holding a feeling of... can't wait.

"Wait... Please wait." Kamijou Touma instinctively reached out and grabbed the old man's collar, "Grandpa, do you want to jump downstairs too?!"

"Isn't that obvious?" The old man didn't care, and replied in a kind voice, "I'm committing suicide, boy, but suicide by your side... I'm really sorry."

"Suicide... why?!"

Kamijou Touma clenched the old man's back collar tightly, and asked a stupid question. Didn't he already know the answer, the old man felt disappointed in reality.

That's why I came here...to end my life.

"Think of your children. If you know you are dead, you will be very sad. There must be a place for you in this world."

He tried to pull back the old man who wanted to die.

However.

"My children... died thirty years ago." The old man said calmly, as if mocking himself, "Also, I only met once. On the day my wife died in childbirth... I met once."

"..."

Kamijou Touma was silent, and his grip became even tighter. He felt that the old man's heart was calm, he didn't have the slightest memory of life, and he really wanted to end his life.

However, he still did not intend to give up the old man's life.

"The world in my dream is very beautiful. I went back to thirty years ago. My wife gave birth to a child smoothly, and my daughter grew up smoothly. Although the life ... is a bit hard, but as long as I have my family by my side, I am very satisfied. ."

The old man closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

"My daughter grew up gradually, and then she was tricked by the **** and got married. My lover and I accompany each other and grow old together. My daughter often comes back to visit our two old fellows. Come visit us with the two little guys."

"It would be nice if it could... continue like this until old age and death."

"..."

Kamijou Touma quietly listened to the deep happiness contained in the old man's words, as well as the deep-seated hopelessness, the hand he held the old man's collar... actually loosened a little.

However, soon... but he tightened his grip on the old man's back collar.

Afterwards, he wanted to speak and continue to persuade the old man to give up the idea of ​​committing suicide, but he couldn't come up with any convincing words.

I can only... grip the old man's back collar harder.

"Ah... It suddenly feels a lot easier when I say it." The old man's tone became much more relaxed, and then he turned his head and smiled at Kamijou Touma, "Even the thought of suicide... has been put down, and negative emotions can't be piled up in my heart."

"Aren't you going to commit suicide?"

Kamijou Touma was suspicious.

"No suicide." The old man nodded affirmatively and breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually, very few people in this world are willing to die. If someone persuades them a little... it will be fine."

When the words fell, he climbed the guardrail again by himself... and left the edge of the high-rise building.

Kamijou Touma breathed a sigh of relief, even he could not think of how to persuade the old man, but since the old man gave up the idea of ​​​​suicide, it was naturally best.

"Thank you boy, I don't want to die for the time being." The old man patted Kamijou Touma's shoulder, "I have to do some physical examinations, and I will see you again later."

When the words fell, the old man simply left the balcony on the top floor.

"...Well, don't commit suicide again."

Kamijou Touma waved at the old man who left, then glanced at the corpse of the old woman under the building opposite, and then quickly left the roof of the hospital.

He wanted to… save as many desperate people as possible.

After a while.

"Is this... world hell?"

Kamijou Touma stepped up and walked on the road, and at every distance he would find a corpse, a corpse that jumped from a tall building, and the road was stained red by splashing and flowing blood.

He kept running and saw more and more corpses.

Then, he stopped in front of an old man's body.

It was the old man on the top floor of the hospital, who smiled at him and said that he would not commit suicide again, but now he turned into a cold corpse and appeared in front of him.

There is no breath of life.

"Bastard ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

An angry shout echoed in the city, and then... Kamijou Touma continued to run, even if it was just to save the next person, he wanted to save as many lives as possible.

However, even with more determination.

Can't change a thing.

That is, today is... the day when the number of human suicides is the highest, the corpses paved the way, the blood stained the earth, and despair shrouded every corner.

Wake people from their dreams.

Is it really right...

Chapter 616 The sixth plague

hospital.

"..."

Right Fang Zhihuo lay on the white hospital bed, glanced at Kamijou Touma who came to visit him, and found that Kamijou Touma looked haggard and depressed, as if he had experienced a major blow.

"Why, that look of despair?"

He turned his head and looked out the window, his voice flat.

"Even if I used to think of myself as the savior of the world, there is no way to save everyone. You are just an ordinary high school student. It's not bad that you can... save people with 'goodwill'."

It's not a lie, he once arrogantly felt that he was the savior, and really planned to put into action to save the world.

However, after experiencing... Ivy's series of blows.

One thing is clear, and that is the fact that he is actually only a human with limits, although the power of the "Holy Right" seems invincible.

But, still...there are a lot of things that can't be done.

"Ah...I know." Kamijou Touma squeezed out a forced smile, raised his hand and scratched his head, "However, going through that kind of thing...it's hard for anyone to accept it so quickly."

In fact, he knew very well that he had no way to save everyone, and he only tried his best to save a girl.

After all, as an ordinary high school student, he could only choose to do that.

"...Hey, you talked to that woman Ivy, right?" Right Fang Zhihuo glanced at him and changed the subject casually, "Who do you think that woman is, judge from the current point of view."

"..."

Kamijou Touma fell silent, his right hand clenched subconsciously, recalling the scene of meeting with Ivy-senpai at that time. At that time, he just thought that Ivy-senpai was a mature and gentle senior, although she had a very mysterious power... But also a good person.

"The question...it doesn't make sense now."

After a while, he gave such an answer.

Now, no matter what he thinks of Ivy-senpai, no one can do anything about committing such a big crime, firmly saying that Ivy-senpai is a good person.

Rather, it is normal to regard Ivy-senpai as a sinner.

"It doesn't make sense?" Right Fang Zhihuo was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, "Hey, let me tell you something interesting."

"……What's up?"

Kamijou Touma asked subconsciously.

"Uncle Ben, think back to the process of fighting with that woman Ivy." The fire on the right contained some inexplicable emotions, "The power of the uncle who discovered the real harm is actually the third hand of the uncle punishing himself, right The more power that Ivy woman uses, the heavier the self-punishment will be."

"What does it mean?"

Kamijou Touma was a little puzzled.

"My uncle's holy right is... it comes from the power of the Crusaders. If anything, the holy right punishes me, the master." Right Fire lowered his voice, "That is the legendary God. , that is to say, the ten plagues... it is really the judgment of 'God'."

"...This... I already knew." Kamijou Touma replied unexpectedly calmly, raising his hand and scratching his cheek, "If it wasn't for God... there would be no way to make such a big noise, right?"

In fact, there is a wide range of arguments about "Sister Ivy" being God. A little search on the Internet can reveal a lot of talk, and many people are really praying to Sister Ivy.

Hope to be resurrected to heaven after the ten plagues.

"...Tsk."

Right Fang Zhihuo clicked his tongue unhappily, then looked at Kamijou Touma maliciously, and said, "The next ten disasters will definitely become more and more dangerous. I want to ask you to pick up something to improve your strength."

"Ah... borrow something?"

Kamijou Touma has a bad feeling.

"Ah, can you chop off your right hand and use it for this uncle?" The fire on the right side smiled maliciously, "The power of this uncle's holy right is still a little unstable."

"No, I don't!" Kamijou Touma shook his head vigorously and complained loudly, "Who would chop off his right hand and lend it to someone else to use!!!"

"Tsk... Really stingy~" Right Fang Zhihuo whispered, and then waved his hand unhappily, "This uncle is going to rest, don't stay here to disturb this uncle."

"Then I'm leaving."

Kamijou Touma smiled, and stood up and left without caring. As for what the right fire said, asking him to chop his right hand to borrow it was just a joke.

However, just a few steps before he started.

"Hey, this uncle really wants to chop your right hand!" The fire from the right side seemed to be serious, "If you go back to the past to face this uncle, don't take such a relaxed attitude now, otherwise, your The right hand... will really be chopped off by this uncle."

"Ah...I see." Kamijou Touma waved his hand indifferently with his back to him, "It's impossible to go back to the past anyway, I know...it's good that you are my friend now."

When the words fell, he disappeared outside the door.

"..."

Right Fang Zhihuo let out a long sigh, then closed the curtain again and regained his composure. If he had... chopped off Kamijou Touma's right hand before.

However, now there is no such plan at all.

at the same time.

In probably very deep.

The monster with seven heads and ten horns slowly opened its tyrannical eyes. Although it was still full of destructive wildness, it also added a ray of rationality.

As if this mindless monster had intelligence.

"The sixth time... the impact begins!"

The monster uttered words that humans could not understand, and then closed its eyes again, and the incomprehensible power spread and swept through, triggering the possible birth of a disaster in the future of human beings.

soon.
