[Wen Hao] I worked hard to restore the health of the protagonist group

Xie Shuyi stared at him intently, the anger after being humiliated almost burning out his sanity.

He wanted to skin Sebastian alive. He wanted to make this man pay for what he had done.

Xie Shuyi used the Death Note without any regard for the consequences. As long as his name was written down, he would still die even if his abilities were horrific and inhuman.

When the Death Note appeared in his hand, Xie Shuyi suddenly felt that time around him had stopped.

A fear called death made his soul tremble. He felt that the hand holding the notebook was extremely heavy, and his face turned red almost instantly.

A black hand slowly stroked his cheek from behind, and Jie Shuyi gritted his teeth to stop himself from trembling.

what?

What's coming?

It is tens of millions times more terrifying than Sebastian.

Time stopped at this moment.

[The deceased was Xie Shuyi, a poor guy who was hit and killed by a human possessed by a demon. As the god of death, I made up for the regret of your death and gave you a new life. But you stole my notes, human, you will be punished by the god of death.]

"What notes? What did I steal from you?" Xie Shuyi bit his back teeth, trying hard to suppress the trembling in his voice.

【...】

The figure behind him floated in front of him. It was a young man with dark circles under his eyes and a tired face. After hearing what Jie Shuyi said, his resentment became even worse.

【What's in your hand? 】

Xie Shuyi lied with his eyes open, "This is my special ability!"

【...】

The Grim Reaper suddenly stopped talking. His silence seemed to indicate that he was seriously considering whether Jie Shuyi's words were true or false.

Where did my notes go?

The Grim Reaper lowered his head and muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his head.

[You lied to me, that's my note. ]

"Your name isn't on it. What makes you say it's yours?"

【...】

The man was silent for a long time. Just when Xie Shuyi thought he was going to kill him, the young man actually nodded.

[That makes sense. 】

[But my notes are gone. I have traveled through thousands of worlds and searched for hundreds of millions of years without sleep, but I still haven't found my notes.]

"this is mine."

The man nodded.

[I know. But my notes are gone.]

"Then go look for it again."

The young man shook his head and pointed at the notebook in Jie Shuyi's hand. A long red line appeared on the black notebook and floated between the two of them.

【Cause and effect line. This carries my anger.】

The man looked up.

[Human. I grant you a new life, and you give me your notes. We owe each other nothing.]

Xie Shuyi shook his head and said, "It was you who caused my tragic death. I was reborn in another world but had a miserable end. I was imprisoned here and became a half-human, half-ghost. You owe me. I can't give you the notes."

[The Death Note, it is impossible for humans to possess it. 】

[Human, I know you were lying to me.]

Seeing Jie Shuyi's vigilant expression, the man just frowned and did not take any action.

[But it is true that it was my negligence in my job that caused you to be so miserable now. This causal line not only carries my anger, but also my debt to you. ]

[If this thread is not broken, my soul will be scattered throughout the world. ]

[I can lend you my notebook. Next time you open it and write your name on it, I will appear. I will fulfill your wish again. This way, we really don’t owe each other anything.]

[You can deceive the god of death, but you still have to pay the price and bear the wrath of God. ]

[I curse you, human. You will... not have a good end.]

The man seemed to be a real god. All his words were like unilateral orders that could not be refused. Jie Shuyi did not even have the right to choose.

The moment he finished speaking, Xie Shuyi suddenly closed the notebook in his hand, and the figure in front of him disappeared into the sky like ashes.

The still time begins to flow again.

Sebastian didn't notice anything unusual. His eyebrows were slightly lowered, and he still maintained his previous posture. He was afraid of the power of the Death Note in Jie Shuyi's hand.

"Okay, you succeeded, I'll let you go."

But he did not notice the cold sweat on the forehead of the person he was afraid of.

Xie Shuyi clenched his fists tightly, forcing himself to calm down, but when he closed his notes, the shackles and burden on his soul told him that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.

He adjusted his breathing and recovered himself.

When he opened his eyes again, he was the carefree Jie Shuyi again.

The boy teased, looking up into Sebastian's eyes and suppressing his anger deep in his heart, because at this moment he no longer had the capital to confront him.

I can only pretend to be fearless.

The latter saw his doubt, smiled gently, and then very considerately opened the door behind him.

Outside the door is the freedom that Jie Shuyi longs for. As long as he takes those few steps and walks out of that door, he will become a free bird no longer bound by constraints. The cage and struggle will no longer belong to him.

How could Xie Shuyi miss this opportunity? He turned around, picked up the unconscious little crybaby, and walked towards Sebastian.

Just as they passed by Sebastian, an arm suddenly blocked Shuyi's way.

Xie Shuyi tilted his head. There was no expression on the boy's face. "Do you regret it?"

Sebastian raised his eyebrows and smiled, pointing at the child beside him, "He is my experimental subject, you can't take him away."

Xie Shuyi frowned, "What do you mean?"

Sebastian smiled, "It's nothing. Letting you go is my bottom line. I can't sacrifice another experimental subject, right?"

Looking at Jie Shuyi's silence, Sebastian's smile deepened. Compared to the fear of death, he would rather pursue the goal of taming the proud lone wolf.

"What's your choice, No. 21? Will you abandon him?"

......

There is a forest outside the open door. It is summer and you can hear the cicadas chirping, see flocks of birds, smell the forest at the tip of your nose and hear the sound of gurgling water in your ears.

Sebastian watched Jie Shuyi leave, humming an unknown tune in his throat. He bent down and dragged the little crybaby's legs into the darkness.

Only a bloodstain was left, which looked extremely terrifying on the white floor.

The scene in front of me suddenly disappeared.

Xie Shuyi suddenly opened his eyes, unable to stand steadily, and fell to his knees on the ground, covering his chest and gasping for breath.

The child on the hospital bed walked slowly to him.

"You no longer have the capital to make those in high positions fear you. What else can you do except threaten me?"

"God will come sooner or later. If you don't become stronger sooner, you will bring trouble to the people around you."

Xiaojie Shuyi squatted down.

"It's just a little woman, but she can make you so miserable."

"Too weak, you are too weak!"

"If you really want to use these hands to protect, you must become stronger. Otherwise, just as you couldn't protect the little crybaby before, you won't be able to protect everyone in the detective agency in the future."

Xie Shuyi's body was shaking constantly, his head was lowered, and his face was full of confusion.

The blood and killing, death and humiliation in the memories, the pain of leaving behind the little crybaby, and the relief after escaping.

How could he forget all this...

How could he forget? ! !

Little Jie Shuyi looked at him like this, with a wicked smile on his lips, and his blood-stained little hands stroked Jie Shuyi's head.

He held the kneeling self in his arms.

"Don't reject me, we are the same."

"The purpose is to protect everyone in the detective agency."

"The method doesn't matter, does it?"

"You...need me. Need...to kill."
