Chapter 72

What a misfortune!

It was such a refreshing and cloudless morning, why did such a thing happen.

"...that's unfortunate.

"It's not because of luck or misfortune, but because of my lack of ability! It's because I couldn't be attacked by the killer queen in the rain last night, and because I still haven't deciphered Yoshikage Kira. ability, I will bear such misfortune!

"This is the price for my lack of ability!"

Nero gritted his teeth and walked down the street with gloomy eyes.

On this peaceful morning, on the peaceful street, Nero was so out of tune with the world.

Bloody shoulders.

Bloody thighs.

Coupled with that ferocious face like the Italian mafia, all the passers-by on the road, when they saw Nero walking towards him covered in blood, they all gave way out of the way to let Nero go first, even The atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.

But there are exceptions, such as a one-year-old baby who is held in the arms of the mother.

Maybe something mysterious like "murderous intent" was at work, or maybe it was just Nero's terrifying expression and the pungent bloody smell that stimulated the baby, causing the baby to act with a biological instinct——

--cry.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The baby is crying.

For the baby's mother, this may be a cry of happiness, which represents the crystallization of the couple's love and the future of the family.

But people's emotions are not interlinked. For Nero, at the moment when he was attacked by the Killer Queen, he had a total of "three" wounds including his right arm that was attacked last night, but he couldn't see through it at all. At the moment of Killer Queen's ability, Nero's mood is as irritable as a raging flame.

The baby's cry is oil.

A bottle of oil thrown on Nero's flame.

So noisy!

I'm thinking about something, can you be quiet, you brat!

"..."

But Nero is Nero after all, and he didn't yell out what was in his heart, but took a deep breath and continued to move forward.

But the next moment.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...!!!""

Boom-! ! !

Two balls of blood exploded on the left and right sides of Nero's head.

Under the horrified gazes of the passers-by, two objects fell to the ground.

"……ear?

"That's, my ear?"

Nero looked blankly at the two ears that fell to the ground.

The baby's crying also stopped.

The screams and discussions of the panicked crowd around also stopped.

Because the eardrum was blown up.

"Sound can also explode? What is the principle of this!"

The burning pain in both ears, Nero endured the pain and bent down, and stretched out his hand towards the ear that fell to the ground, but he couldn't hear the bell behind him at all.

It was the voice of the cyclist in the rear signaling him not to change his position from left to right. For cyclists, it is better for pedestrians to stay still than to change lanes according to their mood. It will only make the cyclists unaware To the left or to the right.

Nero, however, was inaudible.

Nero didn't even realize that a bicycle was approaching him.

And when he suddenly bent over, the rider who just arrived here and didn't know what happened couldn't avoid it and slammed in one direction.

boom!

Hitting Nero's leg.

Normally, such a level of impact would not even shake Chinese characters cast in copper and iron like Nero, but at this moment Nero felt that his center of gravity was suddenly out of balance.

Not because of being knocked out of balance.

It was because at the moment when he was not flying, the legs that maintained his center of gravity suddenly lost their response.

Boom-! ! !

A silent explosion occurs near the point of impact.

Nero Zeppelin's right leg was blown into two abruptly, and he fell to the ground unsteadily.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

It was a peaceful morning today, and the streets of Duwang Town had heard screams countless times.

The rider who got to the end due to the impact looked at the blood man in front of him in fear.

no ears.

The bloody ear piercing continued to bleed, staining his clothes red.

The right arm was wrapped with a bandage, the shoulder was a bloody mess, the blood hole on the left leg was overflowing with bright red blood, as for the man's right leg——

"...Sorry, I'm a little tired now, can you pick up my leg for me?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The rider ran away in a hurry.

Nero murmured drowsily in his head.

"It's really not cute, I don't want to do such a small favor, but...

"What exactly is going on!"

Nero took a deep breath, and carefully picked up his right leg under the horrified eyes of the onlookers.

Head groggy.

The blood flowed non-stop.

And when Nero held his leg in his hand for two or three seconds before realizing that his leg was really broken, a long-lost emotion lingered in Nero's heart.

fear.

Fear beyond all.

"...It is necessary to find Jousuke as soon as possible."

Nero's original plan was to go around Kira's house first to see if there were any possible clues, and then go to Jousuke.

But that is no longer the case.

- "Itinerary change".

You have to see Jousuke right away, you have to be healed by "Crazy Diamond" right away, otherwise...you will die!

When thinking of this.

"Dudu-"

Along with the sound of roaring engines, there was a sound of horns on the road.

But Nero couldn't hear it.

Although he couldn't hear it, Nero saw it. It was a locomotive speeding over [-] kilometers per hour, and an ordinary bosozoku was sitting on it.

And in two seconds, the bosozoku will drive through the stagnant water on the side road, splashing the most intense water splash I have seen so far!

will die!

You have to dodge it!

Nero's pupils constricted.

"—Stairway to Heaven · Flow of the Wind."

The wind winds itself up.

The brilliance of the ripples shone at the cut, stopping the bleeding.And Nero took his ear and right leg, hid himself in the wind, flew into the sky, and disappeared on the streets of Duwang Town.

Whoa!

The stagnant water splashed by the bosozoku was safely avoided by Nero.

However, at this moment, Nero suddenly discovered that something was drawn in by the "flow of wind" like a turbine engine, and it was rolled towards his head.

"It's bird shit ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

pat.

The bird feces hit the bull's-eye and landed in the center of Nero's celestial cap.

Just when Nero thought that his head would be blown apart like his ears, shoulders, and thighs, something unexpected happened, that is——

— nothing happened.

Nero was confused because nothing happened.

why?

Why would nothing happen?

Nero felt a little dazedly at the bird droppings that fell in the center of his head.

What is going on in all this?

Chapter 73

Grape Hill High School.

Higashika Josuke was yawning and sitting on the desk, listening to the boring math class.

Although boring, Dongfang Jousuke is in a good mood at this moment.Although he didn't see Nero directly, Nero did call yesterday morning and told everyone that "Kira Yoshikage has been confirmed dead".

Josuke wanted to ask what happened to Nero yesterday, but his grandfather Ryohei Dongfang said with a strange expression, "Don't bother them" and asked Josuke to stay at home obediently.

Although I don't understand it very well, one thing is certain——

Peace is restored in Morioh Town...

"Ok?"

Jousuke was taken aback.

With a gust of wind blowing outside the door, a note leisurely landed on his desk.

——I'm Nero, you "immediately" come to the men's room on the first floor and enter the second compartment from the inside.

"...This, this is!"

Jousuke stared at the note with wide eyes.

The point wasn't what Nero told him to do in the bathroom, but what else was on the note.

Blood stains.

The real blood.

Whose blood will it be?It can't be Nero's!Nero is so good at fighting, someone must have provoked him, right?

Asked me to go to the toilet, could it be that someone in the school provoked him and was slaughtered by him, and asked me to help collect the body.

"Teacher, toilet!"

"Sit down and wait for me to finish this topic."

"No, I can't help it!"

"you……"
