Chapter 3
As the hope of the super high school level, Kamado Miru must ensure that the decisions he makes help spread hope and save more people.
“Will there be despair in GSS?”
"despair?"
The seaweed-haired man looked a little confused. He exchanged glances with the girl not far away and scratched his messy wet hair speechlessly: "You asked this question. Despair is an emotion that varies from person to person. It can't be used as a standard to measure an organization. But..."
"I heard that when GSS's funding chain was cut off, it was really desperate. Haha, there was also the Dragon Head War."
"But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Except for the Sheep King who joined PortMafia and the weakened GSS when they were besieged by them, it is still one of the top forces now."
"Everyone is acting very cautiously. First, we want to avoid being chased by Port Mafia, and second, ..."
The uncle with the seaweed hair paused deliberately and didn't say anything more. He covered his abdomen and said, "In short, there must be people in the organization who give up and fall into despair, but there is a lot of hope in the future."
There is despair, and hope can be seen.
Just a few words made Shen Du Jian Liu determined his idea. He nodded and said, "Okay."
"…ah?"
"Can."
Shen Du Jian Liu repeated it in his usual tone.
However, he still needed to observe the situation of this organization in detail to confirm whether what the middle-aged man said was true.
The matter was settled for the time being. The uncle with the seaweed head...or rather, Mr. Eguchi said that he would report it later and asked him to come to him again tomorrow. Then he waved his hand and started to drive people away, preparing to get the bullet himself.
Shen Du saw that Liu did not stop, so he made sure that he was okay and left.
【ah? The anchor just joined GSS like this? 】
[I’m still waiting for the host to follow Ranpo and join the Armed Detective Agency! At worst, the Port Mafia and the Special Powers Division will do. What the hell is GSS? It has no reputation at all.]
[As mentioned above, is joining the organization just for fun? 】
【Exit＋1】
[Uncle just said that Zhong Ye has joined Hong Hey! What is the timeline now?
[Stop arguing, why don’t you just let the anchor join Hound and Heavenly Five Decay]
[Uh, are we really in the same world? Is this really not an act? 】
The discussion started in the comments. Some people expressed their dissatisfaction with Shen Du Jianliu and directly quit, while others didn't care at all. The screen was much more lively than in the previous few days.
Since most of the audience came from a higher-dimensional world, and some people in the lower-dimensional world didn't know that this was a comic, the barrage of comments had relatively reduced doubts about the authenticity of this world.
Some people even discovered that they might come from different time and space, and started a discussion about this, attracting more curious viewers.
However, the system once stated that in order to prevent the development speed of other worlds from being affected, any specific discussions related to the fields of science and technology and current affairs will be blocked.
"Um, Shen Du Jun, right?"
On the way downstairs, the girl with the name Lian Jing couldn't stand the silence in the air, turned her head to look at Shen Du Jianliu, and took the initiative to talk to him: "How do you know Mr. Jiangkou?"
"Well, actually...GSS is not a good organization."
"But Mr. Eguchi is a good man. He saved me. If it weren't for him, my companions and I would have been sold by the GSS."
The girl said this, pulling at her brown bangs awkwardly: "But this is also our own fault."
"Well! Anyway, you can trust the other party."
The white-haired boy did not reply. His messy bangs hung casually in front of his thin and pale forehead. His purple eyes looked at the girl's blue hand that was exposed again because she raised her arm to fiddle with her bangs.
The comments kept mentioning this thing, forcing him to divert some of his attention.
"What's wrong?"
The brown-haired girl looked over in confusion. Noticing his gaze, her arm froze slightly. She touched the bracelet on her wrist uncomfortably: "You are looking at this? It's just a bracelet..."
"Chuya..." Kamado murmured as he looked at the barrage without any emotion, feeling a little confused inside.
Because the live broadcast room is already filled with this name.
Of course, interspersed among the names were insults directed at the girl in front of them, as well as confusion from some newcomers.
"What!?"
"Y-You know Chuuya!? You know him?!!"
The girl named Jing froze, and her sudden high-pitched voice echoed in the corridor. She looked at Shen Du Jianliu in disbelief, and realized her own gaffe from the other's cold purple eyes, and her expression became a little complicated.
"I know... After Chuuya left Yang, everyone was almost sold out by GSS."
"After that, the companions were divided and without Chuuya's protection, many of them followed Shirase and tried to find part-time jobs to make a living."
"I also found a job delivering mail at the post office. I finally realized how difficult it is to leave Leibo Street and enter the society..."
"Until now, some of my companions still think that this is all Chuuya's fault for betraying the organization and joining PortMafia."
【? ? ? ? 】
[Listen, is this woman speaking human language?]
[A bunch of blood-sucking bugs. I really hope they are sold out by GSS and die.]
[The Sheep has been disbanded?] 】
[If you don't understand, why are you so malicious towards a girl? You are almost scolding her.]
[The one above, you haven’t read this comic by Wen Ye, she is a big ungrateful person]
The barrage of comments only increased, and through the audience's discussions and the girls' stories, Kamado Miru already roughly knew the causes and consequences of the disbandment of the Sheep Organization.
However, he was not interested in anything that was not related to hope, so he did not respond.
The brown-haired girl next to him didn't notice that Shen Du Jianliu was distracted. Maybe she had been holding back her thoughts for too long and it was hard to find an outlet to express them. She continued to speak without any ulterior motives, like pouring beans -
"In fact, not everyone thought Chuuya betrayed the organization at the beginning. It was just that Shirase and the others held a 13-member council without Chuuya's knowledge. 80% of the people agreed to cooperate with GSS. Only a few people did not support it."
"And... Chuuya did join PortMafia in the end, didn't he? His actions at the beginning were very suspicious! He kept hanging out with the people at the port, and I couldn't find a reason to persuade the others at the time. Over time, I even suspected that he had betrayed the sheep."
"Hey, Shen Du-kun, how did you and Chuuya know each other? It certainly wasn't before he left Yang."
"Otherwise I wouldn't have seen you."
Shen Du Jian Liu: "..."
He blinked and stopped.
【Le, the anchor was asked back】
[Hahaha, the host can't always say "I knew him from another world"]
[Help, I can't accept what this woman is saying. What is she doing? To clear yourself? And “Chuya really joined PortMafia in the end, didn’t he?” It was you who pushed him out in the first place! Now they turn around and say, “See, he really betrayed me.” It’s so disgusting! 】
【＋1】
[+2, I clearly don’t trust Chuuya from the bottom of my heart and don’t consider him a true ally. Don’t make such a high-sounding statement. Ugh.]
Shen Du saw that Liu was still dazed.
However, Jing misunderstood his cold expression, curled her lips and said speechlessly: "Can't you tell me? I have said so much, really... You are not an undercover sent to GSS by the Hong Kong underworld."
The last sentence was obviously just a casual complaint. The girl was silent for a while, and suddenly took off the blue bracelet on her wrist: "Shendu Jun."
“Can you please give this bracelet to Chuuya?”
"After saying so much, I guess I will never see each other again in the future... Oh, please help me add an apology, but this is only my feeling, not on behalf of other members."
“…”
Shen Du saw Liu lowering his eyes and looking at the blue hand in the palm of the brown-haired girl, and said calmly: "Can you leave it to me?"
"It's not impossible. My other old companions threw away the bracelets a long time ago. Everyone went their separate ways, and I'm the only one who kept it as a souvenir."
Akira shrugged and said in a casual tone, "Since there is still a possibility that you can meet Chuuya, I'll leave it to you."
"As a reward, you can ask me anything you don't understand at GSS. After all, I have worked with them before... Although I have retired now, I only come to see Mr. Eguchi with some fruit occasionally."
"Um."
Shen Du Jianliu put away the blue bracelet.
Again, he had no reason to refuse.
Because of meeting this former member of the Sheep Organization, he did gain a lot of relevant knowledge, which helped him judge whether GSS was suitable for him to join and save those desperate people.
That is to say, there is meaning.
So, he can help the other party find this person named Chuuya.
***
Half a month passed in a flash.
Kamado Miru successfully joined GSS under the arrangement of Uncle Eguchi. His task was to guard a jewelry store under the name of GSS that was used for money laundering, which was basically safe.
Whether there is danger or not is secondary. He can take some time to "fish" and help people nearby who may be in despair. This is easier than working as a receptionist in a convenience store without moving, and he can also earn money to support his livelihood.
Kamado Miru was quite satisfied that he didn't have to waste time doing so many useless things.
Therefore, even though he found that there were not many people in need of help in GSS, and that the members who were former soldiers had extremely strong psychological qualities and were not very helpful in further spreading hope, he did not propose to leave.
As for the secrets that Uncle Jiangkou had kept secret, you can find out by joining the organization...
GSS recently secretly obtained the latest derivative model of the M16, the M8 Carbine sniper rifle, and is sending people to connect with it. With this latest weapon, GSS can directly use it to make a comeback.
Kamado Miru was not interested in these things. He would go to Uncle Eguchi's house for meals every night and maintain a relatively stable life at the bottom of society.
Until one day, after get off work as usual, he returned to the apartment rented by Uncle Jiangkou for himself. On the way, he decided to look for the desperate man Kamado Miru, but suddenly received a call from the other party.
"Hello? Little devil."
"Go to the small post office near the station to pick up some documents for me. I have an important mission to do at the riverbank today and I can't spare the time."
"Oh, by the way, I bought you a small cake and it's on the second layer of the refrigerator. Remember to pick it up in the evening."
"Um."
Shen Du saw Liu accept it calmly, closed the mobile phone that the uncle had bought for him before, turned around, and did not waste time in a place without desperate people. He went to the post office to pursue the memories in his mind.
This should have been an action no different from any other.
However, at the moment of stepping in——
The Post Office exploded.
Suddenly an accident happened, and the barrage of comments that had become deserted in the past few days was immediately blown up with several new comments.
[Oh my god!] ! What happened? 】
[What's going on?] Is the anchor still alive? 】
[This live broadcast room is still open. I’m really bored recently.]
[Regular fans said they like watching the anchor baby do good things, which is very relaxing and healing]
Is there a post office nearby? Does anyone remember that member of the Sheep group said he worked at the post office?]
[Ahhh, is the host okay? 】
[A newcomer peeking out, I heard that barrage is a thing of the future, is that true?]
[Jing is dead?] 】
[The most important thing now is the anchor!] I can feel the heat wave through the screen. Is the administrator here? Come and see how the host is doing! 】
“Cough…cough.”
Thick, hot smoke shot straight into the sky, and screams filled the streets in an instant.
Contrary to the concerns of the barrage, a slender, white-haired boy gradually emerged from the flying debris and wreckage of buildings as the smoke dissipated.
His messy bangs were flying in the dust, his skin was so pale that the veins were visible, and there was no trace of blood, which made people feel heartbroken.
Unlike his frail appearance, the boy held two ordinary people by the back of their collars, and in his other arm held a brown-haired girl and a little girl of 6 or 7 years old. He walked through the billowing black smoke and steadily brought them to a relatively safe street.
The broken pieces of glass pierced into the boy's thin arms, and bright red blood slowly flowed along his pale and thin fingertips, dripping onto the ground.
Such a sharp color contrast brings a breathtaking beauty to the delicate-looking boy in the aftermath of the explosion.
The skin even smelled burnt.
However, he seemed not to feel any pain, ignored the bloody flesh on his palms that were injured by the explosion, and turned around and went back into the post office.
"Hey!? Where are you going?"
Without answering the brown-haired girl's loud question, Shen Du Jianliu rushed into the thick smoke fluently. Before the crumbling half of the plaque fell completely, he caught the burnt steel bar and threw it aside casually, and took out a gray rabbit toy from inside.
The air fell silent with his figure.
After looking around, the boy slowly walked up to the little girl who was about 6 or 7 years old, squatted down and handed the stuffed toy in his hand to her.
"for you."
His voice was calm, as if he was talking about the most ordinary thing.
The little girl took it in a daze. She only choked slightly at first, and then suddenly burst into tears: "Big, big brother, wuu ...
"Thank you! This is the last relic my mother gave me!"
Along with the child's uncontrollable crying, the two adults who were rescued seemed to have found an outlet to vent their great shock.
They were breathing heavily, and all the frightened or dazed eyes on the street stopped at the thin figure of the young man.
The other party had returned to the center of the ruins. As if he was insensitive to the pain, he held up a cell phone with his flesh turned upside down, and it was unknown who he was calling.
The boy's cheeks were as pale as paper, his windblown clothes were stained with blood, his cold purple eyes looked down at the wreckage, and the silver cross earrings on his ears swayed slightly in the wind.
In the ruins that no one dared to step into, his thin and sickly figure seemed to stand outside the world, serving as the god who saves suffering and despair.
…
No one answered the phone.
Shen Du Jianliu frowned slightly and called Uncle Jiangkou again.
The call, which usually gets connected after a few rings, was automatically hung up twice because I waited too long, with no sign of being answered.
