awareness of existence

The author has something to say:

In the 17th century, the legends of the world gradually began to take shape and went to glory.The gears of the real world are also continuing to rotate, piecing together invisible chances and coincidences to form a huge force.And the last link of this war of turning defeat into victory is quietly kicking off in Catania, Sicily, Italy...

Catania, the second largest city in southern Sicily, Italy.The city's architecture is dominated by Baroque style. Unlike Palermo, this city is not famous for its history and culture, but for its active volcano Etna.

There is no sunny weather, and there is no peaceful sea breeze. Under the gloomy and oppressive weather, the cold air spreads intermittently in Zhengege City, making the citizens can't help but pull up their skirts and speed up the pace of going home, but all this does not affect actions of some people.

Even after taking off Obsidian's uniform, their presence is still eye-catching.The Obsidian Five, who had rarely changed into casual clothes, were wandering around on the street. The exquisite food displayed in the window attracted dogs to lie on the window, unable to move.

M． M complained angrily with his hips on his hips: "Hey! This is the first time! You obviously just had lunch not long ago, but this is on the street, you will disturb Xiaokui very much!"

"What are you talking about! How could Lord Mukuro care about those guys' affairs. Besides, the lunch is not enough to fit my teeth!" the dog retorted angrily.

Faced with all this, Liudaoku just stood there quietly with his back to them, looking around, completely ignoring the situation behind him.And now the calmest person on the scene is probably Kakimoto Chikune, who calmly adjusted his glasses, and Chikune said softly, "Dog, you can't eat too much. But...Master Mukuro, since you stopped, why don't you wait for her. "

The person in the thousand words, the people present will naturally know who they are referring to...

M． The M ring was on her chest, with a displeased expression on her face: "Cut, that woman is really slow to death. She even asked Xiao Mu to wait for her?! Since she is so "reluctant", why do you still follow me? Stay in Vongola soon, trouble died."

Just when MM was complaining, there was the sound of trotting footsteps behind everyone, followed by a weak voice with chaotic panting.

"Yes... sorry, I just..."

But before the other party finished his explanation, he was interrupted by MM loudly: "I said you! What do you want to do with us! Like you, you are always dragging your feet, you don't understand anything and you always think about those guys Why should you stay by Xiaokui's side! You..."

"kufufufufu~ Let's stop here, MM" Liu Daomui stopped MM's words with a smile, but he didn't favor Kurom and listened to her explanation.Walking forward indifferently, the people of Hei Yao didn't say much, and followed behind him.

Facing all this, Coulom pursed his lips and tightly held his little hands, but he didn't say much, and quietly followed behind everyone.

After the boss disappeared, Master Mu was the first to propose to leave vongola. Although she still couldn't let go, it was absolutely impossible for her to stay in vongola alone.

When Master Mukuro left the headquarters, vongola's Jiudaimu generously gave him a sum of money. He thought that Master Mukuro would not accept the mafia's favor, but for some reason... Master Mukuro did not refuse this time.

With this money, Mr. Mu began to take them on a trip, starting from Palermo, traveling around Italy, food, scenery, and even some illusory legends.Although she didn't understand Master Mu's actions, she saw a lot of different things along the way, and there were many smiles on everyone's faces.

But along the way, she often thinks about the past with Boss and the others, so being in a daze and distracted from time to time will always slow down everyone's progress.Faced with all this, Master Mukuro always smiles, so that people don't know what he thinks, but she knows that other people hate herself who always thinks about the mafia.

But this time the slowing down was not because of distraction, but because when I was eating, I asked about something I cared about.

One hour ago, everyone was eating at a restaurant. They were supposed to be noisy and happy as usual, but Mukuro-sama ate less than usual.At this time, the discussion at the neighboring table accidentally reached their ears.

"Hey, is it true or not, two more are missing?!"

"Yes, yes, together, there are nearly 10 children. What the hell are the police doing?"

"No, I pick up my baby every day now... Oh, it's too late, it's not suitable for you to talk about, I'll pick up my baby first."

"If you're in a hurry, why don't you go with me in my car."

After saying that, the people at the next table left one after another. The dog who heard all this had a bone in his mouth, his head was leaning on his crossed arms, but there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and he said with a smile: "Hahaha, the child is missing." ? Could it be eaten by a ghost?"

MM cast a cold sideways glance, and said disdainfully, "Cut, how is this possible..."

"kufufufu~ It's time to go." Liudao Mu got up and walked out, which caught everyone by surprise.

"Wait for me, Xiaokui." MM followed first, while the dog stuffed food into his mouth at full speed, as if he wanted to eat them all in the next second.

But Qian Zhong pushed his glasses rationally and said, "Dog, it's too late."

"It's so noisy!... Huh!?" The dog roared, but unfortunately, it choked on the food, and its chest drooped in pain.

Maybe everyone will be surprised, but they don't pay much attention to it. After all, Master Mu's actions are always easy to be unexpected.But I don't know why, I just feel that Mr. Mu has been weird since he came to this city, and the rumor just now seems to have... an influence.

Coulom unified the information he had just collected in his mind.

The child disappearance incident started in the last week. Every child disappeared when they were alone. This solitude does not only refer to a person outside, but also includes some parents who take their children out when they turn around for a few seconds.Even in the bustling streets, disappearances still exist. Up to now, nearly 10 children have disappeared, making the citizens shake their hearts, but the police still haven't caught the prisoner.The gender of the missing children is not limited, the age is about 5-6 years old, and there is no special connection between the time of the missing family. The only thing worth noting is that the missing children all happened near the foot of Mount Etna...

Could it be that all this has something to do with volcanoes?Or is the culprit hiding there?But if this is the case, there is no reason why the police can't think of it. Why haven't they caught the prisoner yet?

Although very puzzled, Coulom decided to go to the volcano to investigate tonight. Mr. Mu never stays in a city for more than 3 days, so he has to hurry up and figure it out.

The matter of the boss has always made me feel very guilty. Although I didn't kill the boss, but compared with other guardians, I am very useless...

I failed to protect the first one, at least I can't have a second one...

Especially... this person is Mr. Mukuro...

------------------

Dusk draws near and night falls.Although the temperature during the day is not high, the beautiful scenery in the evening spreads and stretches in the city with a little warmth.

The dark blue night and the dim yellow sunset interweave and overlap, hiding the classical and solemn buildings, while the first star that appears hangs high in the sky, twinkling and eye-catching.

Kurom stood in a small corner outside the hotel where she temporarily stayed, looking at the star quietly, holding the trident tightly in her hand, and a look of determination appeared in her eyes.Then he trotted away from the hotel, and ran towards the shadow of the majestic mountain not far away.

But she didn't know that when she left the hotel, the corner she just stayed in was distorted for a few seconds, a strange red light flashed in the dark corner, and everything returned to calm in an instant .

Coulom was wandering in the streets and alleys near Mount Etna. Walking alone in a dark place really didn't feel good. In addition, there were many human sculptures on the buildings, making the atmosphere even more gloomy.

When the cold wind hit, Coulom shrank his body and swallowed in fear, but he didn't stop, and continued to move towards the volcano.

Although Coulom decided to investigate carefully, in fact, he was acting with a little luck.After all, 10 children are missing, the true face of the criminal is still unknown, and I am a newcomer, so there is no way to get more information than ordinary citizens.

She thought that if she could meet those people committing crimes on the street, she would still have some way to track them, but the reality was that the situation was more serious than she imagined.The city at night is extraordinarily deserted and quiet, not to mention children, even adults are hardly seen.

What to do now?

Coulom couldn't help frowning in annoyance, feeling completely helpless.

Kurom, who was looking around to no avail, was just about to go back to the hotel, but suddenly felt a black shadow flashing past the corner of his eyes, turned around suddenly but saw nothing.

Is it my own illusion?Coulom was a little uncertain, but his feet still chased in that direction. No matter what, there was a clue that he couldn't give up.

Coulom chased after the figure with all his heart, but he didn't notice the surrounding environment, and a faint smile floated in the air behind her.

"I really didn't expect..."

Collom, who didn't realize what was going on behind him at all, raised his head, turned a few street corners hesitantly, and finally saw a figure under the unclear moonlight.

A figure standing on the roof...

A figure with a sleepy child staring at Mount Etna...

found it! !Coulom was overjoyed. Just when he was about to make a move, the figure flickered and disappeared without a trace.

Coulom was shocked, what's going on!He was still there just now!How can a person's speed be so fast! ? People like Boss and the others don't have such speed!Could it be an illusion? !

Collom closed his eyes and quietly checked the surrounding area, but found nothing wrong.She couldn't help but frowned and thought about it. If it wasn't for illusion, then it could only be said that this person is very strong!

Thinking of this, Coulom hesitated a little.This person's level may be on par with Boss and the others, and he is not an opponent at all.

There was a slight cold sweat on the forehead. The action of that person looking at the volcano just now was enough for her to confirm the whereabouts of that person. But, what can she do by herself?

Do you want to tell Lord Mukuro them?

Thinking of this, Coulom seemed to feel Master Mu's laughter sounded in his ears again.What would happen if Mr. Mukuro found out?

It's just pretending to be meaningless...

Still feel like I'm meddling...

have a finger in the pie……

Mr. Mukuro, will he...do not want himself...

Coulom squeezed the trident in his hand more and more, what should he do?That kind of future... I don't want that kind of future!

unwanted future...

In a daze, Coulom seemed to recall the fierce battle in the past. In that cruel future, someone once said to the boss like this...

"Your greatest misfortune is to come to this era. If you hadn't come to this place, you wouldn't have become so miserable. You are cursing your own fate, right?"

But, how did the boss answer...

It seems to be back to the tense moment at that time, the time when Boss was scarred but still wanted to protect Miss Youni, and wanted to bring everyone back to the past...

That distant and familiar voice once answered so definitely and resolutely...

"I do... feel very scared and uneasy about the future, and the time when I am really happy is very short, but now... now I understand a little bit, this is not a question of good or bad. It's my big time."

I also feel very scared and uneasy now, so many things have happened.

But no matter what Master Mukuro thinks of them, I feel that the time with Master Mukuro is the happiest...

"I am supported by everyone. It would be fine if I didn't come to this world. It doesn't matter at all. It doesn't matter whether it's sad, painful, or happy, and it's because everyone is here that I'm here."

Although I don't know who is supporting me, but it is precisely because Master Mukuro and Izuku are there that I am here...

Callum took a deep breath.In fact, after such a long time, she herself began to gradually understand that she followed Mr. Mu not only because she had nowhere to go, but more because of a kind of dependence.Perhaps for others, Master Mukuro is not such an important existence, but for himself...

Master Mu is light, no one can understand it, only you know how much warmth you have received from Master Mu...

How much redemption has been obtained...

And I am also hoping that one day I will be truly qualified to stand up to Mr. Mu and repay all this...

Thinking of this, Coulom suddenly felt that there was nothing scary about such a future...

Maybe the price of doing this is losing that person, as long as that person can be happy, the warmth he gave in the past is enough for me to savor my whole life...

But if I don't even have the courage to challenge, I'm afraid I won't be qualified to stand by that person's side for the rest of my life, and I won't have the chance to repay everything he gave me.

Collom, who was slowly relieved, smiled faintly, but she had already made up her mind that no matter what the result was, she must go and find out.

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"kufufufu~ My Kurom, you have really changed a lot."

Kurom turned her head in surprise when she heard the sound and looked back at Master Muku who suddenly appeared behind her. She didn't notice it at all, and she didn't expect Master Mukuro to follow her!

"kufufufu~Although I don't know who changed you, but..." Liudao Mukuro smiled as usual, put his hand on Kurom's shoulder in the dark, and looked at her with a rare expression in his eyes. There was a trace of warmth, "I don't hate you now."

"Master Muku..."

"kufufufu~ Since you have decided to do it, let's go together. I happen to have some things I want to ask those people."
