Chapter 7 - 7

- Now, keep her safe, and take care of her. - He said.

- Now, understand, she gives gifts, but she doesn't give small rewards compared to the size of the responsibility.

- Now, a warning, be careful, if anyone, or your parents found out, there would be questions. - He said.

- As it is in the heavens. - She said.

That's when Péngyǒu gives a breathy laugh, as if she feels a thousand-ton weight pulling her down, a heaviness in her stomach.

- What did I do to deserve this, Mr. Yoshihiro? - She questioned him. - Because I? – She had a lot of questions.

- Between the entrails of the magical worlds, between each part of the multiverse, there are from weapons to artifacts of great power, those who manage to maintain or dominate.

- There are many worlds where there are large arsenals of weapons that could destroy all life on this planet for a million years, in which those who are all beings that live here oversee them if they ask the same question every day.

- Some of them need destroyers, others just need them to enjoy the pleasures that the worlds offer. - He said.

When we come to the answer is because you were the best choice in this place and time.

- So, keep the box safe. - He said.

- With that, you will receive what is rightfully yours, in which I recommend that you don't let anyone find you, not just your parents, because people are curious. - He said.

- These people when they see a lever, they want to pull it. -

He said. – So, when they see a button, they want to push it. - He said.

- Say, what can happen if they squeeze? What happens if I press?

Yusuke Yoshihiro just smiles, shakes his head, and walks towards the cliff, where a sign says:

- There is a noticeably clear message

CAREFUL! FORBIDDEN FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 14 WITHOUT AN ADULT!

How much he turns towards you.

- Clarify something for me, tell me why they call this the Curve of the road of the Dead Man, Péngyǒu?

- That's part of the city's history. - She said.

- In the old days, they called these streets the suicide village, in which people who climbed here threw themselves. - He said.

- That's all because several people jumped from that curve, the next day, there were bodies on the stairs.

- At that time, when she replies that in her hands the box of buttons that is in her lap moves.

- This happened when a few last people, in which after a woman jumped about four or five years ago.

There was a time of recession, when people lost hope, they had nowhere to turn, the only certainty they had was death, the end of all problems.

- Here it was also called the village of the desperate. - She said.

- I asked my father who said that after some time the city council, in a meeting, talked about removing the alley from the staircase that is between the neighbourhoods of the lower region, when the conservative parties and the contemporaries tried to change it, but they did not there was a consensus.

So, everyone was divided. - She said.

So, after all these tragedies, nothing was done, when people passed by, some jumped, the place is practically seen as a bad omen, because no one can get the idea that everyone can throw themselves off the stairs and alleys in an unusual way. or from another. - She said.

- I just know what my dad says, at least.

When I went to participate, one of them said that the staircase is a tourist attraction, which is half true, and that one suicide every five summers, well after winter or during the cold of stormy night. - She said.

- Which wasn't such a terrible thing.

- I think the same as he said that, if it became fashionable, they could vote again. - She said.

Mr. Yoshihiro smiles.

- The small towns its love for the conventional and you can't help but love something so mundane and backward. - He said.

- Now that I've answered your question, now answer mine. - She ordered.

- What happens if I press one of these buttons?

- What happens if I press the one in Africa, for example?

Then, she used the toothpick in her hand, when she touched the yellow button, she felt an urge, not strong, but considerable, to press it and find out for herself.

His smile becomes wider, it even looks sinister.

That smile is not pleasant at all, in Péngyǒu 's opinion Mùzhīběn.

- Why ask the question that you yourself have the answer? – He asks her.

Before she can say another word, he starts down the stairs, where she sits on the bench for a moment, then gets up, runs to the rusty landing, and looks down.

In which despite Mr. Yoshihiro didn't even have time to get down there, not even close, he disappeared.

Even so, when he reached the halfway point, a hundred and fifty iron steps down, the little black hat was abandoned or blown away by the wind.

She goes back to the bank and puts the box of buttons, her box of buttons, in her canvas bag and walks down the alleyway to the staircase that runs between the lower quarters, where she's been holding on to the banister the whole way.

So, when she reached the little round hat, she thinks about picking it up, but decides to kick it from the side and sees it fall, spinning to the bottom full of weeds.

It was at that time, when she went to be when she returned later, the hat disappeared.

This happens on June 24, 1920.

That last week of the galactic holiday of May 12, 2024.

When Captain Povkolov, from serpents of the draconic empire, with his energy rods, since my arrival in the galactic army of the Cassian empire, I had never seen him in such an army uniform, when he entered my war room dug into the earth.

- I finished talking with the galactic general of the galactic army – He said, in response to the questioning look with which I received him.

− Tomorrow our galactic fleet will depart. Rihaine said.

- Which direction are we going? – He questioned.

- To the NN sector. - He said. - That's where the troops should concentrate. – Your second in command, Commander Taurus said.

- It would be in that direction that there will be some contingents that will be directed. Rihaine said.

- Can be it. Taurus said.

- What do you think? Rihaine said.

- A lot of work for a lost war. Taurus said.

- You are a hopeless heretic. Rihaine said.

- Forget it, sir, just say it. Taurus said.

- In which direction? Taurus said.

- In your opinion. Taurus said.

- My opinion? Rihaine said.

- I already said what I discovered, what I know, I said last night a galactic kingdom of Tartarus1 came from the galactic general, when he brought the order to the galactic fleet. Rihaine said.

- From that hour onwards, I could carry supplies for two days. Rihaine said.

- Even if it went where and for what or for how long? Taurus said.

- Are you lost, man? – Rihaine questioned him.

- Just so, I'm sure. Taurus said.

- When that, my dear, they didn't say, was marching towards the other side of the galaxy and that's it. Rihaine said.

- Even so, that moment, when we're only going to take supplies for two days. Rohaine said.

- I prefer that we take it for more than three months. Taurus said.

- So, that means the troops won't stay longer than that. Rihaine said.

- You know, that doesn't mean anything. – Taurus the hopeless, as he was nicknamed said.

- How come you don't. – Rihaine asked with surprise.

- So, that's what happened when we went to Ragnar-Dargo,2 we took supplies for a week, but we stayed there almost a lunar month of Earth. Taurus said.

- This time, can I be your company? – Taurus asked him, after thinking a bit.

- There are no objections, power, can, but my advice is that it is better not to go. Rihaine said.

– Why would you risk it in that situation? – Taurus returned all his disbelief.

- Still, it would be allowed, even if I don't follow your advice, I've been here for a whole month. Taurus said.

- I'm just waiting for an occasion to witness a combat. Rihaine said.

- Meanwhile, you now want me to pass up the opportunity. Taurus said.

- I'm not going to stop you, so go, but honestly, isn't it better to stay here? – Taurus questioned again.

- So, you would stay in the hunts, then, you would be waiting for us. Rihaine said.

- In the meantime, we would go with the help of the pantheon gods of the Um-Mu sect. Rihaine said.

- In the meantime, you would stay here, in the meantime, everything would be great! - Rihaine said in such a persuasive voice that, in the first instant, he was rejected.

Still, he did do something, which I thought would be really nice, but I said resolutely that I wasn't going to stay at all.

- So, that can change, how much will you see there? Taurus continued.

When the captain, trying to convince me.

− Do you want to know what happens in a battle? Taurus questioned.

Zeldanilkiven-VoskiNiaksi 's description of the war. – Rihaine said.

- Are you a nerd? – Taurus questioned again.
