Chapter 18 A River Flows Down the Slope

Akiyama Kanade's happy life came to an abrupt end the night someone attacked him.

He had already considered this situation when he was active in the casino. No matter how careful he was, the repeated appearances of a little kid like him would always attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives. Human greed is unimaginable.

Either kill him to eliminate the trouble forever, or kidnap him and use him for your own purposes. There are only two possibilities.

Since Akiyama Zou dared to do this, he was not afraid of anyone coming.

He won't take the initiative to attack others, but if others come to him, don't blame him for being rude.

Even though he is young now, he has plenty of ways to kill someone.

His brother didn't come back very late on the night of the accident, but Akiyama Kanade knew that he would be fine, so he wasn't too worried.

Someone sneaked into the house, and Akiyama Kanade opened his eyes immediately. He quietly touched the syringe filled with poison under the pillow and waited for someone to approach.

But plans cannot keep up with changes.

Before the man could get close to the child on the bed, the door was broken open.

The weather was gradually getting warmer, and the evening breeze carried wisps of heat. The silver-haired boy at the door slightly opened his eyelids and wiped the undried blood on his face.

Kurosawa Shun, who was lying on the bed, had his head covered by the quilt thrown by Kurosawa Jin.

"Just stay still."

There were only these words, and then there was no more sound.

After a while, Akiyama Kanade felt his brother hugging him through the quilt. He pulled the quilt aside to let him breathe and covered his eyes with his hands.

The strong smell of blood filled the air.

It turns out that Gin started killing people so early.

He used his other hand to touch his brother's head, as if to comfort him and tell him not to be afraid.

Akiyama Zou quietly hid the poison under his pillow again.

"Shun, I'll take you out of here."

"You're never coming back?"

"Well, I won't come back."

The two of them had nothing to pack up and take away. All Akiyama Kanade had were two comic books and Inutarou.

Inutarou was probably the most reluctant to leave when he did. He looked back every few steps and paid his last respects to this dilapidated slum.

Akiyama Kanade had no objection to the fact that Kurosawa Jin was about to become a genuine killer. This was the fate he chose himself.

If he hadn't grown into a pervert, Akiyama Kanade wouldn't have chosen him as a potential customer.

This is the cause between them. And Kurosawa Jin will become Gin, this is the ending that fate has already written.

But that night, the silver-haired boy held his hand and walked under the moonlight away from the slums.

Next to it is the river that almost drowned Kurosawa Shun, with waves sparkling.

Inutarou followed behind them, quietly, without making any noise.

At that moment, it seemed as if the world was left with only them and the chirping of cicadas in early summer.

Akiyama Kanade found that he could no longer simply regard Kurosawa Jin as his perverted colleague Gin.

Because at this moment he is Kurosawa Shun, the younger brother of Kurosawa Jin.

They have been dependent on each other for many years.

This is the most cruel part of the immersive experience of the Character Generator.

You know that what you are experiencing now is a memory with a set direction. You can do a lot of things, but it will not affect the outcome.

He asked, "Brother, where are we going?"

"Don't talk." There were still traces of blood on the boy's face.

Akiyama Kanade found that his temperament was slowly changing. He vaguely saw the appearance of the future top killer in the boy beside him.

He killed someone, but there was no fear or regret on his face. On the contrary, excitement and wanton flames danced in his dark green eyes.

Kurosawa Jin is a natural born killer.

Inutarou, who always loved to follow him around, no longer came close to him. Animals are always particularly sensitive to danger.

Qiu Shan Kanade sighed, "Brother, you haven't laughed for a long time."

Kurosawa Jin arranged his brother to live in an apartment, which was a room he rented. The newly recruited killer did not have the ability and financial resources to buy a house.

However, the new apartment is much better than their original tribal-style house. At least my brother can finally sleep on a soft bed.

He had chosen the bedding himself, a beautiful blue like the ocean, and he had placed a dolphin-shaped ornament at the head of the bed as decoration.

Kurosawa Jin had been planning to move for a long time, and this attack was just an opportunity.

Kurosawa Jin didn't know that the people who attacked at night were actually recruited by Kurosawa Shun. Ever since he was recruited by the Black Organization to become a killer, he has been living on the edge of a knife.

Not everyone can kill their way out of the siege, be rewarded, and become a senior member. Countless people are just an inconspicuous skeleton on this road. The enemy comes from outside and inside, from all directions.

He thought that the guys who attacked Kurosawa Shun were trying to take him over, or more simply, just wanted revenge on him.

Kurosawa Zhen mercilessly wiped out the enemy's carotid artery, and the blood covered the entire wall.

Having grown up in the slums and seen the darkness and filth of this world, Kurosawa Jin only believes in fists, blades and guns.

Anyone who dares to attack his brother will die.

Although he is determined to work for the organization, Kurosawa Jin does not want to drag his brother into it. He does not want anyone - including the organization - to notice the existence of Kurosawa Shun.

But his ability at that time was still too weak, and the two looked too similar, making it even more difficult to hide Kurosawa Shun.

Kurosawa Jin locked all the windows of the new apartment and drew the curtains. He bought a room full of toys and comics for his brother, and personally selected the softest bed.

The refrigerator is filled with fruits, vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat, and the boxes in the storage room are also filled with potato chips, cola, melon seeds and Sprite.

He also bought a cozy doghouse for Inutarou.

Inutarou jumped around excitedly inside, and even condescended to rub against Kurosawa Jin's trouser leg. It seemed that it realized that this man would not harm it, and its courage grew again.

Kurosawa Jin half-knelt in front of his brother who was curiously flipping through the comics. His brother looked at him with round eyes and excitedly drew a big circle with his arm: "Are all these for me?"

He was so excited that he hit his hand on the corner of the table, leaving a red spot. Kurosawa Jin held his hand and rubbed it gently.

Only in front of his younger brother would his expression soften.

"Well, all of them are for you. Shun, stay home and don't run around."

Many of them are out-of-print comics. Akiyama Kanade is not a serious comics fan, reading comics is just a way for him to pass the time for entertainment, but when he first saw so many out-of-print comics in the past, he couldn't help but get excited.

I even wanted to post it online to show off immediately.

Akiyama Kanade was absorbed in comics. He read very quickly. Kurosawa Jin bought several sets, and he finished them in just a few hours.

When he came out of "Seventy Pearls" with reluctance, called Inutarou and prepared to go out for a walk, he found that the door was locked.

It's locked so tightly that it can't be opened even if you pry it open.

Akiyama Kanade: “?”

Only now did he realize what his brother meant by "stay still and don't run around".

Even the curtains were glued on by his brother.

If Akiyama Kanade really wanted to go out, there were certainly many ways to do it, but his brother had installed surveillance cameras in every corner of the house.

Ah, this shouldn't be the case... Isn't this the script he wrote for himself? Why did his brother use it first?

If he uses it again then wouldn't that be plagiarizing the idea?

Should we say that Gin is indeed a pervert pioneer?

Learn from him.

This incident did not have much impact on Akiyama Kanade. He could let his memories move forward automatically when he wanted to move, which was equivalent to pulling the progress bar. But it was hard for Inutarou, who could only roam in the small field at home every day, and his fur was not smooth anymore.

Kurosawa Jin, who became a killer, was very busy and we often didn't see him for ten days or half a month.

Occasionally he would come back to replace the stock for his brother.

He granted Kurosawa Shun whatever he asked, except forbidding him to go out.

"Shun, just listen to me. I'll take care of the rest."

As the boy matured, the emotions in his eyes became increasingly cold.

They haven't cut each other's hair for a long time.

As he wished, Kurosawa Jin's silver hair grew longer and longer, a beautiful silver-white color that was spotless.

Kurosawa Shun still has short hair.

They are twins, but no one can tell them apart now.

Under the organization's drug control, Kurosawa Jin is no longer afraid of sunlight, although he still retains the habit of wrapping himself up strictly.

His eyesight is better than that of ordinary people, which makes him a first-class sniper.

And his younger brother was locked in an apartment blocked from sunlight all year round.

"Shun," he stroked his brother's hair, "you can get hurt easily outside. Once the organization successfully develops the drug and confirms that there are no side effects, you can become a normal person."

Akiyama Kanade knew that Kurosawa Jin really thought so, and everything he had done for his brother so far was to protect him.

Although it sounds a bit absurd, the other party is Gin. How can his thinking be the same as that of ordinary people?

This kind of human sample is extremely rare. In order to play a pervert more realistically in the future, Akiyama Kanade humbly listened to Kurosawa Jin's teachings.

But as a younger brother, he still reminded his brother: "You always have to pay a price for what you get. Brother, that organization is just using you."

But if Gin had listened to the advice, he would not have become Gin.

Qiu Shan Zou sighed, "Brother, it's okay, do whatever you want, I will protect you."

Kurosawa Jin didn't take his brother's words to heart.

Ten years have passed in a flash, and Kurosawa Jin, who has become Gin, has established a firm foothold in the organization. He no longer has to worry about not being able to protect his brother.

He bought a house in Hokkaido and planned to send his younger brother to Hokkaido to live a stable life.

By that time, Kurosawa Shun had changed apartments several times, his residence became bigger and bigger, and his brother no longer restricted his life in every aspect like he did at the beginning.

On their 21st birthdays, Kurosawa Jin told his brother about his decision.

He gave his brother a blue hairpin. The man said calmly and indifferently, "You always like these things."

The young man who looked like him still had a childish look on his face. He tilted his head and smiled happily, "So beautiful. Thank you, brother."

He leaned his head over and motioned for his brother to help him put it on.

The two of them went back to the slums.

Because Inutarou died. He was an old dog who had lived for more than ten years and died of old age.

Kurosawa Shun said he wanted to bury it in its hometown, and Kurosawa Jin agreed.

Everything was normal that day.

His younger brother was as well-behaved and obedient as he had been in the past twenty years.

Then at night, he disappeared.

The note on the table read a brief farewell:

"I'm leaving."

He never saw him again for the next six years.

The next time they met was when he was ambushed by undercover police and was surrounded. His brother, whom he hadn't seen for many years, appeared on the wall, half squatting, smiling with his head tilted.

She had the same pale skin as him, and wore a familiar blue hairpin on her short silver hair that was bathed in the moonlight.

His tone was still as brisk and soft as he remembered, but what he said was -

"My stupid Oni-chan, I'm having a miserable life."
