Subsequently.
Blood flowers bloomed on the hard concrete floor.
dead.
No one could survive at such a height, let alone an old woman. It was even more impossible for her to survive.
Even if he is sent to the hospital for rescue now, it is impossible for him to come back.
"... What... is this?"
Kamijo Touma's pupils suddenly contracted, and chill flowed through his blood vessels throughout his body, freezing him in place. It took him a while to recover.
Got it.
The source of this instability is, in fact, the sense of gap between people returning from dreams to cruel reality, just like a rich man who loses all his wealth and cannot bear it and chooses to commit suicide.
This sense of hopeless psychological disparity... is worldwide.
And that means.
"This... is normal, boy."
From behind, an old man's tired voice came.
Kamijo Touma Immediately turned around and saw a neatly dressed old man with gray hair walking over gracefully. He was smoking a cigar slowly and exhaling a long puff of smoke.
"If you have never experienced happiness in your life, then maybe... you can live in ignorance until you die, like a slave, but if someone has been exposed to happiness... you can no longer tolerate this bad world and have the idea of escape from this bad world."
The old man walked to Kamijo Touma and looked at the dead old woman under the building opposite.
"Next, young man... you may experience a very special moment in your life, watching countless people jump from tall buildings with your own eyes, like falling raindrops... staining the world red."
As soon as he finished speaking, 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 he revealed an unprecedented sense of ease.
It can even be said that it is with a kind of... impatient mood.
"Wait... please wait a moment." Kamijo Touma instinctively reached out and grabbed the old man's back collar, "Grandpa, do you also want to jump downstairs?!"
"Isn't this obvious?" The old man didn't care, and replied in a kind voice, "I am committing suicide, young man, but I am committing suicide next to you... I am really sorry."
"Suicide... why?!"
Kamijo Touma's hand tightly grasped the old man's back collar and asked a stupid question. Didn't he already know the answer? The old man felt disappointed with the reality.
That's why I came here... to end my life.
"Think about your children. If they knew you were dead, they would be very sad. There must be a place in this world to remember you."
He tried to bring back the old man who wanted to die.
However.
"The children... died thirty years ago." The old man said in a calm voice, as if he was mocking himself, "And we only met them once. On the day when my wife died in childbirth... we met them once."
"..."
Kamijo Touma remained silent and tightened his grip. He felt that the old man was calm inside and had no regard for life. He really wanted to end his life.
However, he still had no intention of giving up the old man's life.
"The world in the dream is very beautiful. I went back to 30 years ago. My wife gave birth to a child successfully and my daughter grew up smoothly. Although life... was a bit difficult, I was very satisfied as long as I had my family by my side."
The old man closed his eyes and shed tears.
"My daughter gradually grew up, and then she was deceived by... a gangster and married. My lover and I accompanied each other and grew old together. My daughter would often come back to visit us two old guys. After a few years, she even brought the two little guys to visit us."
"It would be great if I could... continue like this until I die of old age."
"..."
Kamijo Touma Listening quietly to the deep happiness contained in the old man's words, as well as the despair that penetrated into the bone marrow, he held the hand behind the old man's collar... and actually relaxed a little.
However, soon... he tightened his grip on the old man's back collar even harder.
Then, he wanted to speak and continue to persuade the old man to give up the idea of committing suicide, but he could not think of any persuasive words.
He could only... grab the old man's back collar harder.
"Ah... I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed when I said it." The old man's tone became much more relaxed, and then he turned to smile at Kamijo Touma, "Even the idea of suicide... I have let go of it. Negative emotions can't be accumulated in my heart."
"Aren't you going to commit suicide?"
Kamijo Touma is a little skeptical.
"I won't commit suicide." The old man nodded affirmatively and let out a long sigh of relief. "Actually, very few people in this world are willing to die. If someone tries to persuade you... then everything will be fine."
After saying that, he climbed the guardrail again... and left the edge of the tall building.
Kamijo Touma breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Even he couldn't think of how to persuade the old man. However, since the old man gave up the idea of suicide, it was best.
"Thank you young man, I don't want to die for the time being." The old man patted Kamijo Touma on the shoulder, "I still have to go for some physical examinations, and I'll see you again in the future."
After saying that, the old man simply left the balcony on the top floor.
"... Well, don't commit suicide again."
Kamijo Touma waved to the old man leaving, then glanced at the body of the old woman under the building opposite, and then quickly left the roof of the hospital.
He wants to... save as many desperate people as possible.
After a while.
"Is this... world a hell?"
Kamijo Touma Walking on the road hurriedly, you will find a corpse at every distance. They are corpses that jumped from high buildings. Blood splashed and flowed, staining the road red.
As he kept running, he saw more and more corpses.
Then, he stopped in front of the corpse of an old man.
The old man who was on the top floor of the hospital and smiled at him and said he would never commit suicide again turned into a cold corpse and appeared in front of him.
There is no breath of life.
"Asshole ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Angry shouts echoed in the city, and then...Kamijo Touma continued to run, even if he just saved one person, he wanted to save as many lives as possible.
However, no matter how determined you are.
It doesn't change a thing.
That is, today is... the day with the highest number of human suicides. The roads are paved with corpses, the earth is dyed red with blood, and despair envelopes every corner.
Wake people up from their dreams.
Is it really right...
Chapter 616 Sixth Disaster
hospital.
"..."
Right Seat of Fire was lying on the white hospital bed. He glanced at Kamijo Touma who came to visit him and found that Kamijo Touma looked haggard and depressed, as if he had experienced some major blow.
"Why, that desperate look?"
He turned his head and looked out the window, his voice calm.
"Even I, who once considered myself a savior, can't save everyone. You are just an ordinary high school student. It's good that you can... save people with your 'goodwill'."
It was no lie. He once arrogantly believed that he was the savior and really planned to take action to save the world.
However, after experiencing a series of blows...Ivy.
One thing became clear, and that was the fact that he was actually just a human being with limits, even though he seemed invincible with the power of 'Holy Right'.
But, still... there are a lot of things that can't be done.
"Ah... I know." Kamijo Touma forced a smile, raised his hand and scratched his head, "But after experiencing something like that... it's hard for anyone to accept it so quickly."
In fact, he knew very well that he could not save everyone, and he could only save one girl despite his best efforts.
After all, as an ordinary high school student, he could only choose to do that.
"... Hey, you have talked with that woman Ivy, right?" Right Seat of Fire glanced at her and changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "Who do you think that woman is? Judging from the current perspective."
"..."
Kamijo Touma fell silent, clenching his right hand subconsciously, recalling the scene when he met senior Ivy. At that time, he just thought that senior Ivy was a mature and gentle senior. Although she had very mysterious powers... she was also a good person.
"The question... is moot now."
After a moment, he responded.
No matter how he evaluates Senior Ivy now, there is nothing anyone can do about committing such a serious crime. He firmly says that Senior Ivy is a good person.
Rather, it is normal to regard Senior Sister Ivy as a heinous person.
"No point?" Right Seat of Fire was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, "Hey, let me tell you something interesting."
"... what's the matter?"
Kamijo Touma asked subconsciously.
"Uncle, please think back to the process of fighting that woman Ivy." Right Seat of Fire's voice contained some inexplicable emotions. "The power of my uncle who discovered the real harm is actually my third hand punishing myself. The greater the force I use on that woman Ivy, the heavier the punishment I will punish myself."
"What... what does this mean?"
Kamijo Touma is a little confused.
"My uncle's Holy Right... comes from the power of the Cross. If there is any way, Holy Right can punish me, the master, myself." Right Seat of Fire lowered his voice, "That is the legendary God. In other words, the ten plagues... are really the judgments of 'God'."
"... This... I've known it for a long time." Kamijo Touma replied unexpectedly calmly, raising his hand to scratch his cheek, "If it wasn't for God... it wouldn't have been able to make such a big fuss, right?"
In fact, there are now very widespread opinions about "Senior Ivy" being God. A little online search will reveal a lot of talk, and many people are really praying to Senior Ivy.
I hope to be resurrected and go to heaven after the ten plagues.
"... Tsk."
Right Seat of Fire clicked his tongue in displeasure, then looked at Kamijo Touma with evil intentions and said, "The next ten disasters will definitely become more and more dangerous. I want to ask you to pick up something to increase your strength."
"Ugh... borrow something?"
Kamijo Touma has a bad feeling.
"Ah, can you chop off your right hand and give it to me?" Right Seat of Fire smiled maliciously, "My uncle Holy Right's power is still a bit unstable."
"No, I don't want to!" Kamijo Touma shook his head vigorously and complained loudly, "Who would chop off his right hand and lend it to others to use!!!"
"Tsk... how stingy~" Right Seat of Fire whispered, then waved his hand in displeasure, "I'm going to rest, don't bother me by staying here."
"Then I'm leaving."
Kamijo Touma smiled and stood up to leave without caring. As for what Right Seat of Fire said, asking him to chop off his right hand and borrow it, it was just a joke.
However, just a few steps after he started.
"Hey, I really want to chop off your right hand!" Right Seat of Fire's voice sounded serious. "If you go back in time and face me, don't take the easy attitude you have now. Otherwise, your right hand... will really be chopped off by me."
"Ah... Got it." Kamijo Touma turned his back and waved his hands indifferently, "It's impossible to go back to the past anyway. I know... I just want you to be my friend now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared out the door.
"..."
Right Seat of Fire let out a long sigh and closed the door again to rest. If he had... chopped off Kamijo Touma's right hand long ago.
However, now there is no such plan at all.
at the same time.
Probably very deep.
The monster with seven heads and ten horns slowly opened its violent eyes. Although it was still full of destructive wildness, it also added a hint of rationality.
It's as if this mindless monster has intelligence.
"The sixth... impact begins!"
The monster uttered words that humans could not understand, and then closed its eyes again. The incomprehensible power spread and swept across, triggering a possible disaster for the birth of human beings in the future.
soon.
