Chapter 2

It is not complicated to escape from this dilapidated temple. Shinichi has been preparing for this for two years. In these two years, he secretly saved 60 yen. With this money, Shinichi is sure to escape from Matsudaira Prefecture within two hours.

It is also very simple to get rid of Ohira Saburo. He is a complete alcoholic. As long as Shinichi pretends to be "full of gains" on a certain day, Ohira Saburo who gets a lot of coins will definitely be happy to drink in the tavern all night. He is such a person. One night is enough for Shinichi to catch the last carriage to leave Matsudaira Prefecture.

In fact, Shinichi has been working hard for this until this day.

It is a quiet night. Ohira Saburo, who has not had any good income for several days, has a gloomy face. Because of his bad mood, he even kicked a child's leg yesterday, so that none of the children in the dilapidated temple dare to breathe loudly.

Shinichi has been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, tomorrow! Tomorrow, as long as he takes out 10 yen tomorrow, it will definitely make Ohira Saburo excited. He will definitely not be able to hold back after not drinking for several days. Tomorrow! Tomorrow, he will be able to leave this hell! That's right! We must also take Junbo with us. This little angel-like child should not be ruined in this beggar's den for his whole life.

While Shinichi was calculating, a thin child suddenly ran into the ruined temple in a hurry, and shouted to Ohei Saburo with an excited look: "Sir! Sir! Good news! There is a nobleman in a suit walking on the road alone, alone!"

Hearing this, Ohei Saburo, who was about to be furious, instantly calmed down and showed a happy smile. What did he hear? Wearing a suit? In this world, in Japan at this time, suits have been equated with being rich. Moreover, people wearing suits are generally rich people who think they have been influenced by foreign advanced culture. They are more arrogant than traditional rich people, but also more generous.

Ohei Saburo seemed to see a lot of coins or even banknotes waving at him. He was very good at taking advantage of the arrogant and generous mentality of those rich people, and he was also sure that he could squeeze money from those adults with the help of his orphans.

"Junbo! Come here! It's up to you!" Ohei Saburo shouted, and Junbo beside Shinichi jumped up immediately, "Here I come!"

"Brother Shinichi! Where's the rich man in a suit! Maybe I can beg for something good that we haven't eaten! Brother Shinichi, wait for me! I'll bring it back and eat it with you!" Junbo's little face was filled with a happy smile, but Shinichi's heart was not happy at all.

How could it be! This kind of thing actually happened! Damn it! The plan has to be postponed again! Thinking of this, Shinichi quickly sneaked out of the ruined temple, and the excited Ohei Saburo didn't notice Shinichi's little action at all at this time. He took the money tree he thought was useful and rushed to find the rich man in a suit.

After hiding the yen that was originally taken out, and taking a look at Enji's nest on the way, Shinichi set out on the road back to the ruined temple. In fact, he could run away alone now. In fact, Shinichi would have been sure to escape from here alone if he hadn't met Junbo.

With the bright moonlight, Shinichi walked step by step on the dirt road. He was still thinking silently when he suddenly froze.

Bloody smell, a faint smell of blood suddenly rushed into his nose. How could there be a bloody smell here? How could it be?

Shinichi's pace gradually quickened, and the bloody smell lingering in his nose became stronger and stronger, making people more and more sick.

Pah! In a trance, Shinichi stepped into a small pit, which was full of sticky liquid. He looked down and saw that the dark red liquid exuded a strong stench under the moonlight. Pah! A shadow suddenly floated up from the small pit. It was a head!

A child's head, only half of the head was left, and the eyes that had lost focus looked at the sky blankly.

Pah! Shinichi sat on the ground with his buttocks, his heart in his chest beating violently, and his eyes were wide open because of fear. He knew this child, who was one of their group of orphans. How could he have half a head left? Is the blood in the pit his?

Junbo! Suddenly, Shinichi stood up, as if he had thought of something, and ran madly towards the ruined temple.

Ho! Ho! A strange sound came out of Ohei Saburo's throat. At this time, his eyes were already red. A long sharp whip pierced through his stomach and stretched out from his mouth. Hot blood gushed out wildly.

Looking along the bone whip, a slender figure stood quietly in front of the ruined temple, wearing a straight and luxurious white suit, a black tie that was pure and gorgeous, and slightly curly black hair that was smooth and meticulous. Under the moonlight, the somewhat pale face had a handsome face that could be called a demon.

The most attractive thing was the pair of scarlet eyes, which exuded unparalleled nobility and... cruelty."Stupid human, even the lowest human, how dare you offend me? Dirty, despicable, the blood flowing in your veins makes me feel the most primitive disgust." The strange man said lightly, but his words made people shudder.

"But such lowly creatures like you can live freely under the sun, which is simply an insult, lowly insects!" As he spoke, the man suddenly became excited, and the thorn whip connected to his arm suddenly rose up.

Sizzle! ! The sturdy body of Ohei Saburo was instantly torn into a bloody rain, but the strange thing was that not a drop of blood rain fell on the man.

At this time, in front of the ruined temple, countless broken flesh and blood were everywhere, broken limbs, internal organs of various colors, and completely shattered heads, turning this ruined temple into a hell.

Plop! Plop! Plop! The sound of the heartbeat rang clearly in Shinichi's ears. He watched the man in the suit tear Ohei Saburo into pieces, and saw the hell in front of the ruined temple. He seemed to be cast into a spell, and his whole body could not move at all because of fear. He felt unprecedented terrible pressure on that man.

"Hmm? And?" The scarlet eyes turned slightly. The next second, before Shinichi could react, a huge force came. Almost instantly, Shinichi appeared in front of the man, snap! The bones seemed to be broken, Shinichi's face was hideous, and he spit out blood. The thorn whip wrapped around his waist broke his waist.

"It's really dirty, pitiful and weak, human, what kind of eyes are you looking at? What do I see? Are you hating me except fear? Haha, interesting, you are the first guy among these lowly insects who dares to show hatred to me, how dare you? How dare you show such eyes to the noble Lord Muzan?" The man named Muzan said calmly and coldly.

But at this time, apart from the severe pain in his waist, Shinichi was left with only grief and anger in his heart. At the door of the ruined temple, the half-remaining body and the cute little face no longer had the cheerfulness and liveliness of the past, but only endless fear.

"Junbo... cough, ho..." The blood flooded Shinichi's throat, making him make a meaningless sound. The man named Muzan seemed to be interested. He seemed to want to hear what Shinichi was saying. The bone whip squirmed, and Shinichi's body was also pulled to Muzan's side.

"The last wail of a lowly insect? Interesting." Muzan's mouth slowly outlined a smile, revealing sharp fangs, but the next second, Shinichi, who he regarded as an insect, suddenly jumped up.

Squeak! Muzan was stunned, and the terrifying pupils in his scarlet eyes instantly stood up, boom! Snap! The sudden invisible pressure crushed everything around him into powder.

"Blood, bleeding?"

A small drop of blood slowly dripped down Muzan's weird face.
