A World Where Human Nature Is "Evil"!
It's fair to say that if Wu Tong were to kill another 100,000 people in this world, there might not be a single innocent person among them!
The world of "Black Bullet".
The story is about a world on the verge of apocalypse, where a terrifying virus that can rewrite the DNA of living organisms suddenly breaks out, giving birth to an extremely ferocious monster— Gastrea.
People infected with this virus will undergo rapid genetic mutations in a short period of time, and will then mix with the DNA of other animals to become a terrifying and murderous monster— Gastrea Organism.
This Gastrea Organism not only possesses extremely strong self-healing abilities, but it can also Fusion the DNA of other organisms. The more types of DNA it mixes, the stronger it becomes, and the tougher its skin becomes.
In the war with Gastrea, humans lost 80% of their territory and could only erect special Giant Stone Tablet to hide inside and eke out a living.
If some mothers who become pregnant during this period accidentally ingest Gastrea Virus during pregnancy, their children will have certain Gastrea abilities, and all of these children will be girls with red eyes.
These girls who ingested the Gastrea Virus were called Cursed Children by the people of that world. They were rejected and bullied by almost everyone and could only eke out a living in the outskirts of the city.
Not only is their livelihood insecure, but their very lives are not secure either, because when the Gastrea Virus Erosion rate exceeds 50%, these girls will be completely Erosion, lose consciousness, and transform into Gastrea.
Those who survived the Gastrea wars witnessed firsthand the horrors of the Gastrea.
Those who lost their loved ones because of the monsters are known as the Plundered Generation.
This plundered generation, with an almost extreme attitude, madly hated the Gastrea that destroyed their lives and killed their loved ones, and also inexplicably loathed and rejected the Cursed Children.
Of course, if it were just a matter of disgust and rejection, it wouldn't have aroused such strong killing intent in Wu Tong, this lazy bum!
However, the actions of those people went beyond mere rejection; they were far more excessive and cruel.
Unwarranted insults, unprovoked beatings, arbitrary punishments, wanton abuse, wanton maiming, and even the senseless killing of Cursed Children...
Such heinous and cruel acts even made Wu Tong, a lazy bum who doesn't usually like to meddle in other people's business, unable to stand it anymore!
As the saying goes, even tigers don't eat their cubs, but the people in this world are so wantonly and mercilessly harming a group of children. They are worse than animals!
The actions of the people in that world made the Cursed Children died from Gastrea Virus's Erosion far less numerous than those Cursed Children from human persecution!
Because many children are bullied and abused to death by people in that world before they even live long enough to be Erosion!
The evil of the entire world has been placed upon these children.
Xunzi's theory that human nature is inherently "evil" is vividly reflected in this world!
But the most ridiculous thing is that, because of the Gastrea Organism's immortality and powerful fighting ability, the only warriors who can stand against them are these Cursed Children!
This means that...
Those ridiculous, pathetic, and despicable people, on the one hand, bully and ostracize the Cursed Children, and on the other hand, rely on their power to protect themselves...
This kind of hypocritical behavior—acting like a prostitute while trying to maintain a virtuous image—is truly disgusting!
Therefore, in Wu Tong's view, such a distorted and pathetic world, even if it has fallen into an apocalyptic state, has no value whatsoever in its existence, let alone any value in being saved.
'Hahahaha... I never expected this, I never expected it to be this world!'
'Looks like I can finally make up for that unfinished regret from my past life today!'
'Finally, I can... go on a killing spree in that world!'
Thinking back to those scenes in anime I watched in my past life that caused sudden heart attacks.
A cold glint flashed in Wu Tong's eyes, and the killing intent in his heart was boiling, as if he couldn't wait to unleash it!
Wu Tong did not suppress this long-lost killing intent, letting it burn, boil, and surge until it finally reached its limit and transformed into a towering flame, burning away all the dregs!
In his past life, when he was watching anime, he really wanted to rush into that world and slaughter all those disgusting "beasts"!
However, at that time he was just an ordinary person, willing but unable to go, so no matter how unwilling he was, he could only give up the idea in the end.
However, to Wu Tong's surprise, things took a turn for the better. What he couldn't do in his previous life now had a possibility of being realized, which made Wu Tong eager to do it!
Just as Wu Tong was consumed by rage and was preparing to set off to wreak havoc in the Black Bullet World!
"Brother Wu Tong ~~~"
A clear, bell-like female voice, but with a hint of inexplicable panic, suddenly rang out, instantly pulling Wu Tong back from his rage!
Coming to his senses, Wu Tong raised an eyebrow, suppressed his anger, and looked in the direction of the sound.
But upon closer inspection, they saw a group of people who, for some unknown reason, had suddenly turned as pale as paper, were drenched in sweat, and were slumped in their chairs in a completely unseemly manner!
"Rongrong, Old Master, Uncle Ning... what's going on? How did things suddenly turn out like this?"
Seeing everyone's expressions, as if they had just survived a life-or-death crisis, Wu Tong was so shocked that he forgot his anger, and his mind went completely blank.
Huh... what's going on?
How did these guys suddenly become like this?
It looks like someone had just had a big battle with them!

P. S.: "The Black Bullet" could perhaps also be titled "A Thousand Ways for a Loli to Die!"
When it comes to making heart-wrenching anime, you really have to admire Little Life!
This perverted and disgusting creative mentality can only be described as being in line with Xiao Rizi's (a Chinese online community) style!
Putting everything else aside... at the very least, "Black Bullet" would definitely rank in the top five of the most heart-wrenching anime charts.
I watched it a while ago, and it made me so upset that I couldn't eat for several days. The characters in it truly showcased the worst aspects of humanity in a post-apocalyptic world.
Such a twisted and depraved world should really be Destruction, shouldn't it?
