Chapter Nine Desiring Companionship Out of Fear of Being Alone

"Boom—!"

The bomb exploded in the room, emitting a faint orange-red flame, and at the same time, a burst of black smoke surged, and the blast gushed out from the unblocked windows as if fleeing for life.

The rumbling sound even came from the depths of the abandoned city, causing some unscrupulous people gathered here to make sounds of surprise.

Deep in the city, in front of a double-storey building.

The two ceremonies stood there in a daze, watching Liu Xia's smooth movements from taking out the bomb to throwing the bomb to detonating the bomb, falling into speechlessness.

Obviously, it has not been confirmed whether Bai Chunlixu is the real body of the serial killer, so he just hit the bomb like this? Don't you worry about killing the wrong person?

But thinking about it carefully, three nights ago, when the two met for the first time in a residential area in the north, he seemed to have slapped himself with a bomb for the first time.

"It's just a pre-emptive move, nothing surprising."

Liu Xia retreated to Liang Yi's side, and even took a few steps back, hiding behind Liang Yi, "I can only throw bombs, I'm really not good at melee combat, so I'll leave it to you."

After Liu Xia hid behind the two ceremonies, the figures of the two ceremonies immediately became extremely conspicuous.

At least, in order to avoid the bomb, he rushed out of the detonated room, looking a bit disheartened, his eyes were immediately attracted by the two rituals.

"Liangyi? Is that you?"

The two ceremonies glanced at the direction behind them speechlessly, and seeing Liu Xia put her hand into her carry-on bag again, looking like she was ready to pull out a new bomb at any time, for the first time, "this guy is not Anything can be done, as expected, it is still a child's idea.

Since meeting several times, Liu Xia's calm response, decisive attack, merciless when it should threaten people, and no hesitation when it is time to kill, it is really hard for people to treat him as a real child.

His decisiveness and crispness are better than many experienced adult killers.

This is a matter of course.

Liu Xia, who has no feelings, has never known the preciousness of life. As long as she has the thought of killing you, she will never hold back in the slightest. No matter what difficulties you have or how painful your experience is, It's not wrong to kill.

Because any happiness or misfortune cannot resonate with him.

Liu Xia silently stayed behind the two ceremonies.

While watching the movement of the young man named Bai Junlio on the opposite side, he also looked at the back of the two rituals without any trace, thinking about the angle from which he should backstab her if the battle is over in a while.

It is of course nonsense to say that he is not good at melee combat.

Possessing [Unknown Spirit Base], Liu Xia who has become a servant, although his physical fitness is undoubtedly the bottom in the world of servants, but he has already reached the limit of the human body, and his strength and speed are three times that of ordinary people .

Maybe he doesn't know how to move or martial arts, but with his strong physical fitness, he is enough to deal with the opponent, coupled with the [Future Vision] that can predict the future, even in hand-to-hand combat, he has the confidence to kill Bai Chunlio—— He just dodged the bomb just now, and judging from the speed at which he rushed out from the explosion, he was not much worse than Liu Xia. Like the two ceremonies, he was also a guy far beyond ordinary people.

The reason why they retreated early and hid behind the two ceremonies was just to capture the two ceremonies alive from a favorable angle after the battle, so that the Liangyi family would be afraid to leave Guanbuzi City.

He reached into the package, not to take out the bomb, but to take out the stun gun hidden in the package, so that he could backstab Ershi from behind and render her incapacitated.

Not to mention Liu Xia's inner thoughts, the two rituals standing in front of him have already faced Bai Chunli Xu head-on.

Bai Junlio is a young man who is about the same age as Liang Ri, with short dark brown hair parted in the middle.

It happened to cover the ears, and he was wearing a combination of white shirt and black trousers, which was the school uniform of Guanfuzi Academy.

According to the two ceremonies, Bai Junlixu is a senior in her first year of high school at the school. She is a sophomore in high school this year and is 17 years old.

The reason why they are dressed in school uniforms is that they rushed here immediately after school and did not prepare spare clothes, but it is also because of this that they can get along with most of the students who have dropped out of school and left home, and many of them are in school uniforms. Badly dressed people mixed together.

"Hey, Bai Chunlixu, are you the 'serial murderer' who committed five consecutive murders in the city in just two months, and then turned the blame on me?"

Even though they knew that the other party was their admirer, the two ceremonies had no intention of greeting the other party, and questioned the other party as soon as they spoke.

"You knew already?!"

Bai Chunlixu was obviously caught off guard, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Although it is said to be a "serial killer" in the legend, in the final analysis, this guy is only a monk halfway, and his handling of corpses is always too high-profile. She was completely inferior to Liu Xia who was a professional killer, but she was caught off guard by being questioned by the two rituals and found out the truth.

He is indeed the serial killer in recent urban legends, the person who killed Liu Xia's parents and put the blame on the two rituals was indeed him.

However, he didn't seem to have any intention of concealing his identity in front of the two ceremonies.

He didn't know what he remembered, the shocked expression faded from his face, and an inexplicable fanatical expression suddenly appeared in the eyes watching the two rituals, as if a believer saw the god he believed in, or as if he was living alone on an isolated island Robinson saw his companion for more than ten years.

"However, it's all good, since you already know, come with me!"

While saying this, Bai Chunlixu fell into an obvious madness, and there was a lot of excitement in his eyes. He was obviously a human being, but it gave people the illusion of a beast.

"I know it. You, like me, have been suppressing the murderous impulse in your heart, right? If this is the case, we are natural companions. I have been alone for too long!"

"Yangyi, you are my best companion, I want you..."

Half of this man's brain has gone crazy.

His mental state is very weird. Although he could still see obvious rationality on his face when he just rushed out of the building, but now that his identity has been revealed, and after seeing the two ceremonies, he seems to have opened something. With a strange switch, his face obviously became crazy, and his mind became deranged.

Because he has been suppressing the murderous impulse in his heart alone all the time—probably suppressed, the reason why he said probably is because he committed five cases in just two months, and he was identified as a murderous murderer by himself. The two rituals of the same kind did not kill anyone—so when he saw the two rituals that he believed had the same urge to kill, he couldn't help becoming fanatical.

Human beings are creatures that cannot stand loneliness.

Especially if the person has been in pain for a long time, it will become particularly eager for the same kind.

Therefore, Bai Chunlixu focused on the two rituals.

In the searing solitude, he grew desperately longing for the two rituals.

The reason why he blamed the crimes on the two rituals after committing so many cases was probably because he wanted to use this to attract the attention of the two rituals, or to use this to draw the two rituals into the dark world.

"It's just longing for the same kind, boring."

Liu Xia penetrated Bai Chun Lixu's heart with keen insight.

Longing for companions out of fear of being alone is just a third-rate relationship, and it can't reach the level that makes him interested at all.

He didn't have the slightest sympathy and pity for Bai Chunlixu's lonely and longing heart. He who doesn't understand feelings doesn't even understand what "loneliness" is, and of course he can't resonate with his heart.

Compared to this, he cared more about another thing.

That was Bai Chunlisu's murderous impulse—when did it come about?

This is a huge doubt that is easily overlooked in this incident.

Judging from the cases committed by serial killers in the past two months, from the first to the fourth and fifth cases, Bai Junlisu's killing techniques are constantly improving. At the same time, from the relative integrity of the first corpse to the Now that the fourth and fifth corpses are scattered, it can also be seen that his spirit has deteriorated rapidly in the past two months.

This is not only a degenerate journey from sanity to madness, but also a technological change from strangeness to proficiency.

This is the conclusion he drew from the information given by Daisuke Akimi, and there is no falsehood.

According to this inference, it can be judged that Bai Chunlixu's murderous impulse should not exceed three months at most.

Liu Xia is 80% sure of the correctness of this conclusion.

So, here comes the problem.

Why did he suddenly awaken the murderous impulse three months ago?
