Tokyo, District 9.
This was a complicated area. The human living area was the center, and the periphery was surrounded by the species. It seemed that the humans were food for the species, but in fact, there were many investigators stationed here. Whether it was day or night, there were many investigators patrolling the streets, dutifully protecting the residents.
Therefore, this was an extremely competitive area. Humans had to be vigilant at all times and rely heavily on the protection of the search officers. The search officers had to be highly vigilant, not only to protect humans, but also to prevent themselves from becoming prey.
The other strange species that lived here, the pythons, had to find a way to sneak into the living areas of humans to hunt for food. At the same time, they had to avoid the omnipresent search officers unless they were strong enough to fight or even kill the search officers!
It was night time, and neon lights filled the sky. The streets were bustling with people, laughing and cheering. It looked very harmonious. However, the investigators in white windbreakers who weaved through the crowd added a little tension to this harmonious scene!
Swoosh!
In a dark corner, a black shadow flashed by. A man who was walking alone at the entrance of the alley disappeared into thin air. Even the surrounding crowd did not notice anything unusual.
Following that, a series of chewing sounds could be heard from the depths of the alley.
This was a male b * stard who was eating after successfully hunting a prey. His eyes were scarlet red, and under his tattered clothes was a strong body. His face was covered in blood, and there was no trace of elegance when he wolfed down the food.
There was no need to be elegant, because in this dangerous place, being able to eat food was already a kind of luck. How could there be elegance? To be able to live peacefully was the truth!
"There's a Pi seed there!"
A loud shout interrupted the beast's meal, and hurried footsteps came from the alley. Without thinking, he knew that he had been discovered by the search officer!
" Tsk! Damn you, White Dove!"
The gnawing seed curled its lips in disgust. After biting off another large piece of meat from the corpse on the ground, it quickly stood up, bent its legs slightly, and leaped with force. It easily jumped over the three-meter-high wall in front of it and escaped.
" The gnawing seed has escaped. Quickly chase after it!"
The search officer was very fast. Two men carrying white suitcases rushed over and happened to see the fleeing back of the beast. They hurriedly pressed the button on the suitcase and took out the Koink inside to help them cross the high wall and chase after the beast in front.
The dark alley immediately returned to silence, leaving only the torn corpse. Blood was still slowly spreading on the ground, and the pungent smell of blood gradually filled the entire alley.
"Suck ~~"
There was a slight intake of breath from the trash can beside him.
"Clang ~"
The lid of the barrel was suddenly lifted, and a small figure jumped out from inside. It quickly pounced on the corpse on the ground. After vigilantly scanning the surroundings, it wolfed down the food, ignoring the blood splashing on its body.
It was a child of about nine years old. His messy black hair was obviously not groomed. His black short shirt and shorts were tattered, making him look like a little beggar. His face and body were covered in black stains. Some were dust, some were mud, and some were…dried blood.
Fortunately, this was a meal that no one disturbed.
After a long time, the half-squatting child slowly stood up and spat out a small piece of finger bone. A trace of satisfaction appeared on his sloppy little face.
It had been a long time since he had eaten his fill.
He turned his head and looked outside the alley. The crowd was walking under the illumination of the lights. Their faces were filled with smiles. The joyful conversation reached the child's ears from afar. It was as if music from heaven.
However! The child turned around without hesitation and walked into the dark alley.
If the outside world was heaven, then the alley was hell. He had been living in hell since he was born. He had been wandering and struggling alone in hell since he was sensible. Everything was just for survival.
He didn't yearn for the heaven outside, even though it looked like it was within reach.
Because he did not know what yearning was. The ignorant him only knew that he belonged to this hell. Once he had the thought of walking to heaven, what welcomed him would be death.
"Child, live!"
This gentle farewell lingered in his mind. He did not understand the meaning, but his beast-like intuition told him what to do to meet the requirements of this sentence.
Even though the child himself did not know why he had to follow this sentence.
"Ding! Absorb energy, 1 point."
The strange mechanical voice sounded in his head again, but the child had long learned to ignore it. After many fruitless inquiries, he no longer paid attention to it, even though his intuition told him that the item was very important.
When the child was three or four years old, his parents were found and killed by the investigators. If the child had not been hidden in time, the child would have died long ago.
However, how could a three or four-year-old child, who had just begun to understand and was still in the stage of ignorance, survive in this hellish world alone until now?
This was the effect of the voice in his head. Every time he encountered a life-threatening situation, it was the voice that exerted an inexplicable power, sending out an energy shield that could reflect damage to protect the child. This allowed him to avoid danger time and time again.
However, as the number of times it was used increased, its energy became less and less. The only way to absorb energy was to personally kill life forms or eat energy. Simply put, it was eating.
However, how could a young child have the ability to kill a monster? The investigators were not to be trifled with. They could not replenish their energy, but they also frequently used their energy to protect the child. Over time, their energy would be used up, and the child could only rely on his own ability to survive!
Fortunately, after experiencing so many crises, the child had also honed his beast-like intuition, incomparably agile speed, and the ability to hide his aura. Coupled with enough luck, he was able to survive until now and gradually grew up. He was no longer the child who was at the mercy of others!
"Pa da!"
The child's nimble figure gently landed on the ground and quickly disappeared into the shadows to hide his tracks. This was his instinctive reaction after experiencing countless life-threatening situations. Only by hiding in the darkness could he better protect himself.
"Suck ~"
The child's nose twitched slightly as he sniffed the faint fragrance of blood in the air. His scarlet eyes looked into the depths of the darkness. There was something he needed there!
With light footsteps, the child slowly approached. His vision became clearer and clearer. There was a corpse lying on the ground not far away. It was the male bastard who had just escaped!
The corners of the child's mouth curled up slightly.
