As if she couldn't believe her eyes, the mother stared intently at the person who had arrived.
Although his body was trembling uncontrollably, he instinctively shielded the young Kanzaki Teru behind him.
The person who arrived was none other than Kanzaki Teru's father.
He was holding an empty wine bottle and reeked of alcohol and foul odor.
"Damn it, you actually think you can escape from me! Do you really think you can get away?!"
As you get closer step by step, it's hard to imagine that a person could exude such terrifying malice.
"It must be because of this kid! It's definitely because of him that you wanted to run away!"
"No...that's not how it is, this has nothing to do with Hui!"
Although the mother tried her best to explain, the man was no longer listening to anything she said.
"As long as that person isn't around, you'll definitely come back to me!"
Chapter 405: Collapse
As he roared, the man, who was originally Kanzaki Teru's father, grabbed the bottle in his hand and charged toward the young Kanzaki Teru.
This time, however, Mother fulfilled her duty as a mother and stood in front of Kanzaki Teru.
"Run!"
Grabbing the man's arm, the mother shouted at Kanzaki Teru.
"But...but..."
Seeing this scene, young Kanzaki Teru's legs went weak.
No... rather than my legs going weak, it's more accurate to say that my brain was unable to process the situation, and I just stood there blankly.
"Let's go!"
"Damn it! You want to rebel against me too?!"
Due to long-term high-pressure labor, my mother's body was already riddled with holes.
Even without this situation, the mother already harbored a fear of the father, and this kind of resistance was already an all-out effort.
The man gave his mother a hard shove, sending her aside.
"I'll teach you to defy me!"
However, it was clear that the man's rationality had completely vanished, leaving him with only endless malice.
He simply grabbed the bottle in his hand and smashed it over his mother's head.
Despite the loud crash, the bottle shattered on the ground, and blood streamed down my mother's head.
"Hahaha! Do you realize your mistake now? This is the consequence! This is the result!"
The father's laughter, almost manic, echoed throughout the three-square-meter room, but he did not stop there.
His mind was filled with madness, and even such violence could not bring him back to his senses. Instead, it unleashed the most basic evil in human nature.
He picked up the bottle again and smashed it down on his mother, who had already lost consciousness.
"don't want......"
Seeing this scene, the former Kanzaki Teru could only stand there helplessly.
"don't want......"
"You're going to do that?"
A voice inside him was questioning him, a voice that Kanzaki Teru didn't know came from.
"don't want......"
"What can you do?"
Having asked the same question again, Kanzaki Teru felt something inside him crumbling.
"don't want......"
"Are you going to do this now?"
Click—as if a switch had been flipped, a clear sound rang in Kanzaki Teru's ears.
"kill him!"
once--
"kill him!"
twice--
"kill him!"
At this moment, Kanzaki Teru had this thought repeating itself countless times in his mind.
An unknown force surged from Kanzaki Teru's heart, and for some reason, memories of the past flooded back at this moment.
“You and I are different. Hui, you also have talent.”
Bathed in the setting sun, my older sister's profile looked somewhat terrifying.
However, it's possible that this wasn't the reason Kanzaki Teru felt such emotions; rather, it was her subsequent words that became a key.
"If you were in a situation where you had to kill someone, what would you do?"
Power was surging forth, as if the shackles in Kanzaki Teru's heart had been broken.
Linglong
Without the slightest hesitation, Kanzaki Teru picked up the shards of the broken bottle that had scattered on the ground.
·· ···Request flowers······
He quickly approached his father, who was completely unaware of Kanzaki Teru's approach, still immersed in his own frenzied emotions.
"Die."
He plunged the shard directly into the man's neck, and instantly a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound.
However, Kanzaki Teru did not stop there. After pulling out the shard, he inserted it into the other person's throat.
However, due to the difference in their physical strength, the fragment did not penetrate particularly deep this time.
........ ..... 0
However, this was not a difficult task for Kanzaki Teru; he only needed to let the opponent bring about their own destruction.
Kanzaki Teru grabbed the man's head with his hand and slammed it to the ground. Instantly, the shard was embedded deep in the man's throat.
Unable to even utter a sound, the man died quietly.
As a child, Kanzaki Teru stood there, his eyes vacant; his heart was dead.
Even after killing someone, he felt no emotional turmoil, remaining remarkably calm.
A sense of accomplishment? The desire for revenge? A purpose?
All of that is gone, leaving only...
"Emptiness, just a feeling of emptiness."
Looking back at what he had done, Kanzaki Teru clearly understood how he felt at the time.
Destitute and alone, he had always thought the world was a beautiful place, but reality gave him a harsh wake-up call.
"Hui..."
A weak, feeble voice suddenly rang out, and the moment Kanzaki Hikaru heard it, a spark of hope rekindled within him.
Chapter 406: Thinking—Cannot
Even when he was killing someone, Kanzaki Teru had never felt this excited.
"Mother!"
"I'm...sorry, I can't keep my promise to take you to the amusement park. I should have known better than to try and rent such a cheap apartment..."
The sound was so faint and delicate, as if it would slip through one's fingertips if one wasn't careful.
"Stop talking, Mother! I'm calling an ambulance right now!"
Seeing this scene, Kanzaki Teru's eyes were filled with determination.
He did not run away from what was happening before his eyes; he still remembers it all vividly to this day.
The touch of my mother on my fingertips was “850”, and the smell of thick, metallic blood in my nose was the mother slowly fading away before my eyes.
Kanzaki Teru has never forgotten any of these things.
Kanzaki Teru already knew what would happen next, but for him at the moment...
What happened next was too boring, because I just watched helplessly as my mother completely lost her life right before my eyes.
In the end, he didn't lift a finger to call an ambulance; he only made the call because a neighbor heard the commotion.
The current Kanzaki Teru has everything he once wanted.
Power, wealth, friends...
But after truly obtaining all of this, all that remained for Kanzaki Teru was emptiness.
After all, the person I wanted to share happiness with has disappeared, and even if I obtain these things, I cannot fulfill my original, most innocent wish.
Seeing his former self so weak and powerless, Kanzaki Teru's patience reached its limit.
"What exactly do you mean by this! You're replaying the same old story in front of me! Deliberately reopening old wounds! Is this some kind of fun?!"
Striving to suppress his impending outburst of anger, this is Kanzaki Hikaru's Achilles' heel, which no one can touch.
However......
"Don't forget, we... made a promise..."
His mother's words instantly lessened Kanzaki Teru's anger; he was convinced that he couldn't possibly have misremembered anything about the matter.
However, his mother's words were not in Kanzaki Hikaru's memory. This recollection, which did not match his memory, made Kanzaki Hikaru's mind calm down a bit.
"Yes, Mother! I... I will definitely..."
