It's reasonable to have more than 100 million vests in the world of science, right?

[There are two cards left to be drawn. Please continue to draw the movie-watching object.]

The cold mechanical sound broke the sad silence.

Everyone: "..."

This cinema is really...

Qian Zhu's mouth twitched slightly. This time, there should be no need for him to comfort 'everyone', right?

"Two?"

Liu Qingyao closed his eyes and covered his chest for a long time, chanting the Heart Purification Mantra in his heart. When he heard the mechanical voice, he opened his eyes and said in confusion: "No, wait, there are only two cards left? Aren't there three people, Asa, R, and X? How come there are only two cards left? And, doesn't Mr. count?"

[Not counted.]

The machine replied indifferently.

Liu Qingyao: “…”

Ah this.

Sir, such a crucial person can't even take a look.

So mysterious.

It caught my attention instantly.

Liu Qingyao opened his mouth and asked again: "Whose are the remaining two cards?"

The mechanical voice didn't answer.

Liu Qingyao: “…”

I say you are indifferent and you are really indifferent, right? That’s really not nice!

As everyone waited in confusion and curiosity, it was Furiya Zero's turn to draw a card.

"The remaining two are either the Godfather or Asa, right?" Bertrand kneaded the completely deformed pig puppet in his hand and looked at the screen with some curiosity.

He suppressed all the gloom that had just arisen.

The same is true for others, so at first glance, everyone seems to be normal except Asa.

"It's still nine draw one, so I shouldn't draw a blank card, right?"

Beihefenger looked over and saw that there were still nine cards arranged on the screen, so he muttered curiously.

As a result, the next second——

Looking at the card without any pattern on it, Bechfeng opened his eyes wide in shock, then silently raised his hand to cover his mouth, turned his head and leaned on Qianzhu's shoulder.

It should... have nothing to do with him?

After all, he is a ye, not a crow.

The corner of Fūya Zero's mouth twitched slightly.

This shouldn't have anything to do with his luck, right? It must be a matter of probability.

He didn't draw the card, so the person who drew the card went to Jinpei Matsuda next to him.

Jinpei Matsuda was very excited, but he also drew a blank card.

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

Ah this.

This is the result of having an SSR card with no guaranteed draw probability. (bushi)

[Note: If the viewing card is not extracted after ten attempts, everyone will be sent back and their memory will be cleansed.]

Everyone: "..."

no?

Although your memory will be cleared after you finish watching all the movies, finishing a movie and not finishing it are two different things.

They also want to see from Mr. R's perspective whether their dear friends/babies have been resurrected...

smoke!

Be sure to pull it out!

Asa’s doesn’t matter (crossed out), but Mr. R’s has to be!

So they drew six times in succession.

Finally, when it was the seventh person's turn, Subaru Okiya, he finally drew a card with a pattern on it.

only……

Everyone looked at the scarlet snake on the big screen, the skull entangled by the scarlet snake, and the withered flower, and fell silent for a moment.

Asa showed some reaction. He raised his head and looked at the big screen with a smile.

And Benshan also wrapped around him, hissing and sticking out his tongue made people feel inexplicably chilled.

Everyone looked at Asa silently, then silently looked away.

Hmm... take a look.

After all, it’s not like they are completely uncurious about Asa.

【…

"Asha, will you give me your heart?"

"Hmm? If you want, I can give it to you."

The tender and vague voices and words of children drift away with the wind and then disappear.

……

"Asa, tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony. Serral would like to invite you to the palace to discuss it." A woman with goat-like horns on both sides of her head stood under the tree and looked up at the red-haired boy sitting on the top of the tree.

Asa looked at the little bird resting on his finger, poking its beak again and again, and finding it very interesting to see it shake its head.

Suddenly he heard a sound coming from under the tree. He lowered his head, let the bird go, stood up and jumped down.

He glanced at the woman in surprise, "Didn't Seral say he was busy training Her Majesty's personal guards? Why did he suddenly ask me to go to the palace?"

"Who knows." The woman shrugged. "Seral is just like this. Maybe he suddenly misses you, his long-time friend?"

Asa: "...Don't say such cheesy things."

The woman laughed and patted his shoulder, "Just go now."

Asa rolled his eyes at her and turned to walk towards the castle with a dome that could be vaguely seen in the distance.

After entering the royal city, more and more eyes were cast on Asa, and most of the demons had something strange in their eyes.

But Asa didn't care, because they quickly turned their gaze away.

He arrived outside the palace without any hindrance. The knight guarding the gate took one look at him and opened the door to let him in. It was obvious that he had already received the approval of the captain of the royal guard, Serral.

Ever since entering the palace, Asa had vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong, but thinking that he came here to see his good friend, he suppressed the feeling.

"Asha!"

Asa looked over and saw a gray-haired man in knight's clothes with a long sword at his waist running towards him excitedly, waving.

"You are already a knight, but why are you so unsteady?"

Asa smiled and spoke.

Seral scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "Isn't it because I see you're excited?"

"Didn't you say you were going to train the guards? Is that over?" Asa glanced at him with a smile.

"Yeah, we ended it early so they can rest. Anyway, the deputy knight commander is watching, so it doesn't matter if I slack off a little bit~"

Seral led Asa into the palace with a smile on his face, and along the way he talked to him about how to better hold his coming-of-age ceremony.

Asa listened from the side, occasionally responding. 】

Seeing this, some people can't help but feel confused.

In the video, Asa was very normal. Why did his temperament suddenly change? ?

Asa's eyes were dim, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Everyone looked at him quietly and withdrew their gazes.

I can’t tell. I can’t tell at all.

But the two unclear voices at the beginning of the video seemed to mention "heart"?

[Serral brought Asa to the outside of a room, opened the door and walked in with him.

Asa took two steps in and then paused. At the same time, a clear sound of a door being locked came from behind him.

He looked at the guards in the room who were staring at him like they were watching their prey, and turned his head to look at Serral, "What are you planning to do?"

Asa had a bad premonition, and this premonition was directed at Serral, who was standing next to him and had been his friend for nearly a hundred years.

Seral looked at him quietly, and suddenly smiled shyly, just like the time when Asa first met him as a child.

He used this face and this expression, but his words were extremely cold, "Asha, you once said that if I wanted it, you would give me your heart."

Asa's eyes widened slightly, and he understood instantly. He looked at him with a little disbelief. His face seemed calm, but his slightly trembling voice still gave him away. "So... you approached me from the beginning just for the heart in my body?"

"Yes." Seral's smile deepened, and he took off the sword from his waist. "Because you were too vigilant, you sent back all the people Her Majesty sent, so Her Majesty gave this task to me."

"Originally, I should have cut out your heart when I asked you that question, but the heart is stronger when it is in its original body, so I kept putting it off. Anyway, as long as I can take out your heart before you reach adulthood, it will be fine."

Looking at Asa who was already gasping for breath, Serral narrowed his eyes, smiled and ordered the guards around him: "Go ahead."

Those few words were written so casually, as if they were just slaughtering a prey.

But... Asa is now really like a prey that has lost its ability to attack.

Asa squatted on the ground, supporting himself with one hand and his forehead with the other. He glanced at the guards who were getting closer and closer, took a deep breath, stood up, and tried to struggle.

Seral was wiping his sword on the side, watching this scene, a faint smile still on his lips.

He spoke softly, smiling with pity and mockery, "Asha, don't struggle. Your parents already knew that Her Majesty the Queen wanted your heart, so you have already been presented to Her Majesty as a tribute~"

Asa was stunned for a moment, raised his eyelids and looked at Seral, and his struggle was really getting weaker and weaker.

The drug has fully taken effect.

But this was just a drug that made him lose his resistance, it wouldn't make him fall into a coma, so - he was fully conscious as he watched Sera smile and pierce his chest with the sword.

Asa's fingers trembled slightly in pain, but he couldn't even make a sound.

He clearly felt his chest being cut open.

He felt a hand squeezing his heart.

Then ruthlessly stripped it from his body.

At last.

His chest was empty.

But he didn't die.

Asa's empty eyes stared at the scene in front of him without blinking. The blood coagulated around him was even darker than the color of his hair.

A tear seemed to slide down from the corner of his eye, but it quickly disappeared into his hair, as if it was just an illusion.

These short ten minutes seemed longer than a century.

In a trance, he heard Seral's voice trembling with excitement yet suppressed, and his tone was filled with endless malice.

"In order to avoid causing any other trouble, take him out from the back city gate and drop him off at the agreed location. Then, give some subtle information to the adults who want his other parts."

"Understood." His subordinate replied respectfully.

Seral carefully placed the still beating heart in his hand into a specially made box.

The last thing Asa saw was the smile on his face.

It's so disgusting that he's just like the most frivolous dog wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue around the Queen. 】

Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the big screen in disbelief.

After a long silence, a slightly trembling voice finally rang out, "The heart was forcibly dug out... How painful it must be..."

"..."

These words only broke the silence for a few seconds, and soon it fell into silence again, with only the sound of footsteps coming from the big screen.

[Asa was abandoned in the wilderness the day before his coming-of-age ceremony.

Soon, what awaits him will be his body greedily divided up by other demons.

By then, maybe he will really die?

Asa's empty gray eyes looked at the blood-red sky. He caught a glimpse of a little bird landing on the ground not far away, gradually approaching him curiously.

He paused, tilted his head and smiled slightly, a sad smile. He moved his hands slightly and whispered to the bird: "Come here?"

The bird looked around twice, then hopped over and landed right next to his hand.

Asa held it gently.

The bird didn't react.

But two seconds later, it suddenly began to struggle violently, and its clear cries became more shrill.

laugh--

A small, short sound was heard, and at the same time, the bird stopped struggling, its wings and head drooped, and scarlet blood dyed Asa's pale hand red.

The smile on his face disappeared at some point, looking empty and weird.

He crushed the bird's body, letting its blood stain his hands red. Then Asa casually threw its corpse aside, raised his hand a little stiffly, and drew a strange and twisted character on his forehead with his fingertips.

Soon, a bloody red light began to flash.

When the red light disappeared, Asa's figure disappeared, and instead, a small red snake lay listlessly on the ground.

Similarly, the seven-inch area of ​​the little snake is also empty.

The little snake slowed down, and weakly hid itself, then blocked its own breath.

Coincidentally, after it hid, a group of demons approached here.

Obviously, they all rushed here excitedly after receiving the news revealed by Serral.

Too bad they saw nothing here.

The demons were a little annoyed, thinking that Seral had played a trick on them.

But Seral was the Knight Commander of Her Majesty the Queen, and no matter how angry they were, they did not dare to settle the score with him.

The little red snake hid in a dark corner, staring at the demons that were leaving or searching nearby with its extremely cruel vertical pupils. It would not fall into a deep sleep until they left completely.

...]

Everyone: "..."

Liu Qingyao put his finger to his forehead, frowned, and said in a sullen tone, "Is this what it means that pitiful people must have hateful aspects, and hateful people must have miserable sufferings?"

Bei Hefeng was a little listless. He muttered to himself, "Asa is so miserable, why not forgive him..."

Bertrand: “…”

Hey, hey, hey, can this be easily forgiven?

Just because he's pitiful doesn't mean what he did to them is forgivable...

The silver-haired boy looked speechlessly at Bechfinger, who was in a state of confusion, and wanted to see what conclusion he would come to in the end.
