I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"If possible, I want to go back to the past... that time..."

In the picture, Crimson is wearing pink pajamas, enduring the double pain of the tattoo and the longing for Manfuyu. She sits on the edge of the bed and sobs helplessly, then lies down and falls asleep again, entering the sleeping room again, until she sees Manfuyu's figure in the long corridor and runs over desperately.

At the end of the picture, there is a heart-wrenching cry to Manfuyu, and finally, the deep red disappears at the end of the distance.

Suddenly, Zhiyao was startled, then came to his senses and walked forward resolutely.

"Hey--!"

He pretended to be familiar and greeted Shenhong enthusiastically.

"Hey, why are you here? I've been looking for you everywhere."

He entered the encirclement and grabbed Crimson's wrist.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Then he smiled brightly at the six people outside, "Excuse me, everyone. This is my friend. I have something else to do today. We'll excuse ourselves first."

After saying that, he pulled Shenhong and was about to leave.

Chapter 5: [Wrong Script]

Three male high school students suddenly stood in front of him, as if they had seen through his poor acting skills, with mocking smirks on their faces, while the other three girls were slightly delighted, folding their arms and preparing to watch a good show.

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhiyao smiled gently and glanced at everyone.

"Are you friends?" A girl with earrings and a cigarette butt in her mouth walked forward. "Words are not enough. We can't just hand him over to you."

Zhiyao curled her lips in boredom and turned to Shenhong, "Well, tell them."

He tried to persuade Crimson, but unfortunately Crimson kept his head down the entire time and did not respond.

Zhiyao was speechless at this reaction. He risked his life to help, so he should at least cooperate with her.

"Hinasaki-san doesn't want to answer. It seems you two are not friends, hmm." The girl said jokingly.

"She's just shy." Zhiyao said casually.

"Alright, alright, regardless of whether it's true or not, please go over there and wait." Throwing away her cigarette, the girl ordered her to leave. "We have something to discuss with Hinasaki-san."

What else could he do except continue to bully her? Zhiyao complained silently in her heart.

"What's going on? Tell me about it."

The girl was surprised that he still didn't leave after being persuaded. Her expression became very interesting. "Are you sure you want to know?"

"of course."

"Well, Hinasaki-san hasn't paid back the money he borrowed from us last time, so why don't you pay it back to us on his behalf first?"

When Zhiyao heard this, she rolled her eyes and rubbed her temples with her hands.

There must be something fishy going on about the Crimson Society owing these people money. Even if it were true, unless Crimson Society came out to prove it in person, he would just treat it as nonsense.

"How much do you owe?" Zhiyao continued to ask, wanting to see how the other party would continue.

"5000 yen." The girl said a number without any hesitation.

"Wow, that's so many."

As for 5000, I do have it, although it was originally crimson money.

For a moment, Zhiyao thought it would be better to pay money to settle the matter peacefully, but as soon as this thought came to her mind, she felt very painful and strongly indignant for Shenhong.

Why should such a huge sum of money be given to these guys for nothing? Could it be that Shenhong has been blackmailed like this before?

Honestly, he didn't want to give a cent. He rolled his eyes, surveying his surroundings, quietly pondering where to find a good opening, or perhaps even a more assertive approach. These thugs were mostly bullies, afraid of the strong, and might wilt if they were faced with a tough opponent. But Zhiyao wasn't a local, after all. He was new to the area, outnumbered, and unfamiliar with the place. All of these factors constrained his actions. After careful consideration, he decided to maintain a low profile unless absolutely necessary.

"5000 is a bit too much. I don't have that much money with me today. Everyone, how about we make a deal?" Based on the principle of avoiding violence if possible, Zhiyao began to smile and tried to delay time by maneuvering, praying in his heart that someone could enter this alley to resolve the matter, preferably a patrolling policeman.

Unfortunately, the fierce-looking high school boy opposite him didn't intend to give him a chance.

"Stop talking nonsense here. Either you pay her back and take her away, or get out of here and don't get in our way!"

As soon as the male high school student finished speaking, the smile on Zhiyao's face gradually disappeared. He silently glanced at the faces of the six people, then looked back at Shenhong, and Zhiyao sighed helplessly.

It seems that I can't leave without paying.

"In that case, okay, then I..." While speaking, Zhiyao casually took out a few banknotes from his pocket, slowly stretched his hand forward, and while the other person's attention was attracted by the banknotes, he held his breath, and when the other person's hand touched the banknotes, he suddenly accelerated with Shenhong, like an arrow shot from a bow.

success.

Unfortunately, this was not the first time that the other party had done this. Before Zhiyao could run two steps, Shenhong was suddenly pulled and just reacted to take the first step, but the other two male high school students had blocked his way. As one of them grabbed his clothes and the other pushed him hard from the side, Zhiyao lost his balance.

Anyone could imagine what happened next. After Zhiyao was thrown to the ground, he had no chance to get up. A group of people kicked him fiercely. Due to the pain coming from all over his body, he subconsciously curled up his body and protected his head with both hands to avoid injury. The three female high school students stepped aside, watching with interest and commenting with laughter.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact only a minute had passed. The three men stopped. At this moment, Zhiyao's body was covered with footprints, and she thought that it was finally over.

The fight was over and it was about time to leave. He opened his eyes slightly and looked towards Shenhong. At the same time, two of the male high school students seemed to have lost interest in him and slowly walked towards Shenhong.

What are they going to do?!

In an instant, Zhiyao had a bad premonition, stronger than ever.

Are you planning to bully her? !

Reality confirmed his guess. One of the male high school students really grabbed Shenhong's wrist. The weak Shenhong tried to break free, but to no avail.

"Let's go, leave this unlucky guy alone, let's go somewhere else."

Another companion also grabbed Shenhong's other hand and turned around to ask the companions here to leave.

"Bah, you deserve it, kid. Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"

After spitting disdainfully at Zhiyao, the six of them began to move deeper into the cave, carrying Shenhong with them. However, they didn't know that their bad behavior had touched someone's reverse scale, and they didn't notice that the man stood up, glaring at them and quietly approaching from behind.

"boom!"

Something hit the top of his head, and the person who was hit shook his head violently. He turned around reflexively and stretched his hands to the top of his head.

There was a scarlet stain on the palm of his hand, and the man was stunned for a moment.

"you……"

Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the left cheek again. This time, not only did his face feel hot, but his ears also buzzed. Finally, the man could no longer maintain his balance and fell limply to the ground.

After this commotion, everyone's attention was focused on the attacker for a moment.

"I'm a stranger in this place... I don't want to cause trouble, but you... why don't you know when to stop..." There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and Zhiyao grimaced in pain because of the wound. In his hand, he held a half brick that was about the size of a palm.

"You... bastard!" The male high school student with a ferocious face suddenly came to his senses and rushed forward driven by anger.

He rushed forward, raised his fist and swung it towards Zhiyao's face.

Zhiyao dodged to the side, and then a brick hit the male high school student's ear from the side.

"boom!"

Then push up hard on the unprotected chin.

The jaw is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. The male high school student fell to the ground and did not move.

So these students who only know how to bully others in groups are totally inferior. They don’t even know how to use weapons when fighting.

"Who else is coming?"

The other four looked at each other, and no one dared to move. Soon they ran away like mice seeing a cat, leaving even their unconscious companion behind.

After confirming that they would not come back, Zhiyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally gone, huh... Ouch, that hurts!"

There is still a tearing pain at the corner of my mouth.

But he was in a good mood. He had saved the girl whom he once considered his wife, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

He thought that since he had helped so much, making friends should not be a problem.

"How are you?" Zhiyao couldn't wait and spoke first.

result.

His enthusiasm was only met with a cold stare. Shenhong looked at him indifferently with a lifeless look on her face.

"It's okay, thank you." After saying that, Shen Hong looked away and turned around quickly, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

What's the situation?

Seeing Shenhong not even turning back and looking at the determined back, Zhiyao was dumbfounded. With the corners of his mouth twitching subconsciously, he grimaced in pain again.

What's wrong with this woman? Why does she have such an attitude?!

I was hurt trying to save her innocence, and she's so cold?!

It doesn't mean that if you help someone, you have to ask about their well-being. At the very least, you should show some concern and ask if they are okay.

Come to think of it, is Hinasaki Shinku this kind of character? Shouldn't she be the gentle Yamato Nadeshiko type... Well, that's purely wishful thinking. Shinku is set to be afraid of confiding in others. She has been isolated and excluded for a long time, coupled with school bullying, so she might have developed a cold and withdrawn personality.

Seeing Shenhong about to turn the corner, Zhiyao remembered that her wallet was still on her and hurried to catch up.

"Wait, wait a minute."

He stopped and turned around, his expression still indifferent.

"I, want to ask you a question." Not wanting to beat around the bush anymore, Zhiyao coughed and got straight to the point, "Are you Hinasaki Shinku?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shenhong's cold face changed slightly, and her head tilted to the left.

She was curious about why this person knew her name.

"Here's what I found at the park at noon. Inside was a student ID with your name and school written on it." Zhiyao said, taking out the wallet and handing it to Shenhong, then added, "The student ID has your class information on it. I originally planned to hand it to you in person, but who would have thought we'd run into it here, hehe."

Crimson said nothing, just nodded slightly and opened her wallet. The next second, her gaze returned to the man in front of her.

Shenhong still didn't say anything, but her eyes were conveying a certain message - where is the money inside?

How could Zhiyao not know this? After only looking at each other for a few seconds, she looked away guiltily.

He wanted to tell her that it was like this when he found it, with only his student ID card inside. However, Shenhong was looking at him from beginning to end, her gaze fixed on his face, making it feel hot as if it had temperature. As time went on, he could no longer bear the torment and had to take the money out of his other pocket and hand it all back.

After taking the money, Shenhong put it all back into her wallet without even counting it.

Seeing Shenhong about to leave again, Zhiyao hurriedly added: "By the way, it cost a total of 700 yen. I really didn't mean it. I was really too hungry. I was hungry for three whole days and I couldn't stand it anymore... So, even if you don't lend it to me, I will definitely pay it back."

"No thanks." Shenhong replied coldly.

There was no return after that.

Watching Shenhong walk out of the alley and disappear at the end, Zhiyao suddenly fell into depression, thinking that it seemed that his first impression was ruined.

In addition, there is a bit of resentment.

It was wrong to use her money without her consent, but I had no choice. Besides, she was just as heartless. I got injured while trying to save her, but I got such a cold attitude in return. If I had known this would happen, I would have waited two days before handing the empty wallet to the police, and then insisted that there was no money in it.

Leaning against the wall, Zhiyao slowly sat down with a wry smile on his face. He was back to the time when he was penniless, and he became more and more worried.

In fact, he had wronged Shenhong. It could only be said that he was unlucky. Although Shenhong was cold and aloof, at least he was not a heartless person. The reason for his cold attitude was that he was in a bad mood and was unprecedentedly irritable.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, in the dining room of a private house, two sets of tableware were placed on the table.

After turning off the flame of the gas stove, Shenhong took off her apron and brought the plates of steaming food to the table one after another.

Today we had pan-fried salmon, stir-fried broccoli with green peppers, miso soup, and rice.

Thanks to the cooking skills acquired over a long period of time, the food in front of him was colorful and appetizing just by looking at it. But for some reason, the person who was supposed to be enjoying the food sat motionless at the table, his eyes unconsciously moving to the opposite side of the table.

There was the same tableware and the same food on the plate opposite, the only difference was that there was no one there.

"It's already the third day. When will my brother come back..." Staring out the window, Shenhong muttered to herself.

Thinking that she might have to be alone again tonight, sadness suddenly crept onto the girl's brow.

Chapter 6: [Please don’t come to me again]

Human beings are creatures without any bottom line. Sometimes, even if they know that they will be rejected, they will still go forward without hesitation.

Zhiyao just happens to be such a person.
