Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

Green had always felt that the guard captain looked familiar, and only now did he realize that this guy was An Zhui, who had been appointed to a critical mission.

I just don't know why he hasn't changed the helmet left by the former captain.

I guess the budget doesn't allow it.

Captain Anzhui judged from Green's expression that he had been recognized.

He slowly took off his helmet and gave an awkward laugh.

"Well, it's been a long time, Mr. Green. I'll take this blind fool away from you right away."

When the other team members saw their captain take off his helmet, they all involuntarily took a few steps back.

The entire guard circle was saying that this helmet would bring bad luck.

Upon seeing this, the old drunkard began to consider retiring.

He had originally intended to throw a tantrum and act shamelessly, but the captain of the guard treated the young man with utmost respect.

Looking at the team members, all of them looked flustered, and they knew exactly what was going on.

"Oh, so this is collusion between officials and the people!"

"Remember this, all of you! I will not let this go!"

After saying that, he glared fiercely at Meryl and then turned to Green, uttering harsh words.

"You'd better keep your daughter on your toes! Don't give me the chance!"

"Haha! Mary, everyone wants me to be your dad."

Green smiled helplessly.

Mary was grinding her teeth so hard that Elsa quickly pulled her into a tight embrace.

The little girl kept shouting things like "Go to hell" and kept trying to break free from Elsa's grasp.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the old drunkard felt utterly humiliated, so he rolled up his sleeves, took a step forward, and started spitting as he spoke.

"Pretty boy! Wait till I knock a few of your teeth out, then let's see if you'll still be smiling!"

Anyway, it's not his first time in jail, so someone will take care of his meals.

Before he could finish speaking, a fist came flying at him.

Green effortlessly sidestepped, dodging the attack, and called out, "Good dog, look here!"

He casually pulled out a magic mirror from his waist and held it directly in front of the old drunkard.

Suddenly, countless dazzling vortexes appeared on the mirror, and hypnotic factors as fine as stars flew out, all of them penetrating the old drunkard's limbs and bones.

"You're a dog...you're a dog..."

Green's voice carried a strange, penetrating quality.

The old drunkard's eyes gradually lost their luster, becoming dull and lifeless, and a rough, hoarse growl escaped his throat: "Woof...woof woof..."

Green nodded in satisfaction and kicked a piece of gravel away from his feet.

The old drunkard immediately dropped to all fours and lay on the ground, tongue lolling out as he chased after the stone like a wild dog.

After dealing with the drunkard, Green turned to Anzhui and the others, and enthusiastically asked, "Do you guys want to...?"

An Zhui's internal alarm bells went off instantly, and he hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, no! No need, Mr. Green! We can do it ourselves!"

As he spoke, he squatted down and, imitating a dog barking "woof woof woof," moved towards the street corner.

His subordinates followed suit, and soon Iron Bucket Street was filled with the barking of dogs.

Green scratched his head, looking bewildered.

"No, I meant there was too much cake and we couldn't finish it all, so I was asking if you wanted to take some with you... We've at least become somewhat familiar with each other, what do you take me for...?"

An Zhui stiffened, straightened up with a disheveled expression, dusted himself off, and forced a calm demeanor: "No need, Mr. Green, we still have patrol duties to complete!"

He waved to Green, then turned and whispered to his men, "I'm imitating the criminals' behavior to figure out their thoughts, understand?"

Several guards hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, yes! Boss, you imitated it the best!"

The group slipped away as fast as the wind, not daring to linger for even a moment.

……

"Dogs are so cute, what you did really damaged their reputation. If you ask me, that kind of dog should be buried alive."

Mary sulked and cursed fiercely.

Green, holding the magic mirror, lifted Meryl's chin: "If you don't behave, I'll turn you into a dog too."

"The first thing I'll do when I turn into a dog is bite you to death! Seriously, why did you let that scumbag go so easily?"

The little girl suddenly turned her head away, pouting and arguing.

"Mia and Atto's mother were beaten to death by him! If I had been a moment later yesterday, those two brats would be dead!"

"Huh, that's outrageous?"

Green was stunned when he heard this. He thought the drunkard was just a domestic abuser, but he didn't expect him to be a murderer.

Since that's the case, it's just right to let him atone for his sins by being a dog for the rest of his life.

The power of the Mirror Wotox is utterly disastrous for ordinary people; without external intervention, the state is almost irreversible.

When Meryl saw Green sneer, she assumed that Green didn't believe what she said.

The little girl pouted, half aggrieved and half-sulking, and said:

"You blind bastard, whether you turn into a dog or get beaten up, do whatever you want!"

Green snapped out of his daze, slowly bent down, and raised his left hand towards Meryl's head.

Despite her tough exterior, Mary harbored an instinctive fear of Green.

Her eyes snapped shut, her long eyelashes trembling with tension, and even her breathing became soft.

The next second, Green's hand gently landed on the top of her head, his palm carrying a warm touch, and he gently smoothed her messy hair, his tone unusually gentle.

"I didn't mean to blame you, Mary. You did a great job this time."

This girl is so busy buying dresses. If she also gets a new hairstyle, she'll look just like a rich girl from a wealthy family.

Mary suddenly opened her eyes, her clear pupils still tinged with lingering fear.

After a moment of stunned silence, Green's words came to mind, and the stubbornness he had been holding on to instantly crumbled.

She turned her face away and said in a muffled voice, "Looks like you're not completely blind yet."

Elsa looked at the scene before her, her smile softening with genuine gentleness, and slowly began to speak.

"Merry-chan has really been tamed."

Upon hearing this, Meryl, feeling ashamed and indignant, slapped Green's hand away forcefully.

"If I had known, I should have let the Blackwing Bats kill him yesterday. Now that he's escaped, there will definitely be endless trouble later."

Green reassured him, "Don't worry, there won't be any trouble. That man's soul has completely turned into the shape of a dog."

These were meant to be comforting words, but as soon as they were spoken, Elsa and Melly froze, and the air around them instantly felt heavy.

They had all assumed that Green had merely used some minor tricks to confuse the drunkard, which would at most make him insane for a few days, and they hadn't thought much of it at all.

Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Green asked, puzzled, "What did I say wrong?"

Mary, ever outspoken, asked directly, "You mean that guy will think he's a dog for the rest of his life?"

Green nodded stiffly: "If it's not lifted, that's how it should be."

Elsa's smile faded, her expression turning serious. She slowly paced around Green a couple of times, and when she looked up at him, her eyes held a complex and unreadable look.

"Grimm and 'Mother' are really alike, aren't they? They both possess bizarre and unpredictable abilities. She can transform a person's body into a lower form, while you can transform a person's soul..."

Green grinned mischievously: "I actually have another way to turn a person into... uh, into a dog. Do you want to know?"
