Chapter 98

Most of the children in Jack's estate are orphans, but some are not.

They have been abused, trafficked, or born with disabilities and abandoned by their parents.

These various reasons allow them to experience things that ordinary children have never experienced, and also allow them to understand the cruelty of the world early and become mature early.

So they are different from ordinary children, most of them are broken, both in body and soul.

These children have all been abandoned, abandoned in a corner where no one is.

It was Jack who brought them back, and when he met them, he smiled and extended his hand to them.

In the eyes of the children, Jack's Manor and the Land of Fog are different.

The fog in the Fog City is enough to make everyone in it feel that the world is blurred.

And everything in Jack's Manor is clearly visible, because everything is close at hand, the warm bed, the delicious food, the brothers and sisters lying next to him when he fell asleep, and Jack's gentle good night.

All people and things are so close, and for the first time, these things that were so far away from them have become so within reach.

If Jack Manor is a dream in this cold world, no child wants to wake up, they want to sleep for a long time like this.

The first child adopted by Jack was called Claude. He couldn't remember where he came from, because since he could remember, he had been living on the streets of the foggy city, rummaging through garbage for a living.

He couldn't remember his parents, his hometown, or where he came from, but he always remembered one thing.

It was one night, and he was sitting next to a trash can on Third Avenue eating a discarded piece of bread.

A person stood in front of him, he raised his head, and saw a smile, a smile that no one had ever shown to him before, gentle and full of kindness.

He met Jack that night, and he remembered that day because he regarded it as his new life.

Claude likes to read books, Jack bought a lot of books for him, even enough to fill a small library, his room is full of bookshelves, and books full of bookshelves.

Jack once told Claude that he would send him to the best school if he wanted to.

But Claude just shook his head, he wanted to stay in this home.

Apart from reading, Claude's favorite thing to do is to share his books with his younger siblings.

Although these little guys are always playful and make a mess of his study, he never gets angry because he is their older brother.

······
Emma, ​​Jack's first disabled child, is a chestnut-haired girl with tiny freckles that make her look cute.

But she has no feet and is confined to a wheelchair all year round, so she cannot play with her siblings.

At the beginning, she would always sit quietly by herself, staring at other children in a daze.

One day, exhausting her courage, she made a request to Jack that she wanted to learn piano.

At that time, she was so disturbed, because Jack had given her too much, which made her ashamed of her extravagant demands.

But Jack didn't refuse her. Under Emma's unbelievable eyes, he bought her the best piano and invited the best piano teacher.

From that day on, there will always be the sound of the piano in Jack's manor, from stumbling to melodious and moving.

Jack always said that Emma's piano sound is better than any pianist he has ever heard. He likes to drink coffee and listen to Emma playing the piano, and Emma's happiest thing is playing music for Jack and her family .

Whenever she presses the keys, looking at the smiles of her family, she will feel extremely happy, the kind of happiness that can't help but want to cry.

······
Joseph likes to draw, and he has drawn many paintings, such as Claude reading under the tree, Emma in front of the piano, Lily holding a doll, and Jack drinking coffee.His paintings are always very real, because every time, he will draw every detail carefully without any mistakes.He cherishes everything in front of him very much, so he wants to remember it with his own painting.

Joanna likes to dance, and her dance is the most beautiful and elegant. Jack once gave her an evening dress. Every festival and family party, Joanna would wear that dress and dance with Jack.

That dress is her most precious thing. Every time she wears it, she will carefully put it back in the gift box, and even her younger siblings are not allowed to touch it.

Ender likes to play football, and he also likes to explore. He is a restless child. If any troubles happen in the family, he is basically responsible for them.

Anna is Ender's younger sister. They used to wander together, so it's the same now. She likes to follow Ender the most, although this quiet and weak girl will always be made to cry by the clumsy Ender.

Phils is a precocious little guy.

Mona likes swinging the most.

······
This is a complete home, in this white manor, but it is made up of one by one crippled people.

······
In front of the window, the children looked outside, their eyes froze.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Jack's body was like a piece of rag, he was blown away by a black figure, knocked down the gate of the manor, and fell into the grass in the yard.

He had no room for resistance at all.

Originally, this was enough to kill Jack directly, but at the last moment, Jack blocked Chu's fist with the dagger on his chest.

But even so, the bones in his chest were completely shattered, and he could feel that his consciousness began to drowsy.

It is absolutely impossible for him to be Chu's opponent, he is going to die, he knows it.

But he is not afraid of death, he was ready to die from the first day of becoming a killer.He just regrets that he will die where he least wants to die.

Jack raised his eyes and saw the children in the manor looking at him through the window.

"cough."

He coughed heavily, and the blood he coughed up stained the clothes on his chest red, with broken internal organs.

Chu stepped through the collapsed gate and walked to Jack's side.She raised her hand, and in her hand, the black evil gradually condensed into a long knife.

"No one will be hurt except me, right?" Jack's gray eyes became cloudy, but he still exhausted his strength and asked Xiang Chu.

There was a bit of pleading in his tone.

"No." Chu replied lightly, standing in front of Jack, and raised the long knife.

The sun is dazzling, and under the sun, the black figure is even more dazzling.

Jack fell to the ground weakly, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his consciousness gradually left his body.

It is said that in the last seconds before death, a person looks back on his life.

And Jack found that in his last life, all he thought about were the peaceful afternoons he spent with his children, and there was nothing else in his life to look back on.

"You said you want to take away my sin, so what is my sin?"

Falling to the ground, Jack whispered his last question for his own life of sin.

In this city without rules, he just uses his own way to survive, even if his way is disgusting.

In front of him, Chu's hand paused, silent, unable to give an answer.

"I'm sorry, I forgot." Jack looked at Chu, the expression in his eyes was gloomy, and there was a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, which didn't have any other meaning, only bitterness.

"You seem to be like me, a person who can only kill..."

"Pfft!"

The long knife in Chu's hand fell and pierced Jack's heart.

As the children watched, she killed their hopes in a pool of blood.

The blood flowed out, covered the green grass, and seeped into the dirt.

After a long time, Chu raised his head and looked at the children in the manor.

She could see the tears of despair flowing from their dull eyes.

Everything was silent, no one cried, no one begged for mercy, no one wailed.

But this silent silence is so stern, tearing everyone's heart.

Chu drew out the knife, the blade was dripping with blood.She turned around without saying a word, and walked away slowly.

From the beauty she destroyed.
