Introduction

My name is Leo Carson, I am eighteen years old, and I am dying.
Three years ago, my uncle Thomas stole the 500,000 Aurora Coins and the Awakening Potion that my parents left me with a fake psychiatric evaluation report, and threw me into the Rust Zone to die.
For the past three years, I have worked as a child laborer in a chemical plant, working sixteen hours a day and being treated like a dog.
Until Hela, the goddess of death, appeared and gave me the Book of Judgment . As long as I write down the other person's name and manner of death, they will die.
Now, those who have wronged me, it's time for you to pay your debts.

Chapter 1

荒原历法的第三年,在黎明城外的锈区。

我叫利奥·卡森,今年十八岁,我正在死去。

咳血的声音在这间不到十平方米的小铁皮屋里回荡,每一次咳嗽都像是断裂风箱的最后挣扎。我瘫倒在一张由废弃轮胎和木板拼凑而成的床上,感受着肺部撕裂般的疼痛。三年的化学有毒气体、营养不良和无休止的体力劳动终于夺走了我的生命。

那很好。这也没问题。

透过锈蚀铁板的裂缝,我能远远看到黎明城内城区高耸的钢铁尖塔,在末日后唯一的人造太阳下闪闪发光。那里住着权贵、富人和觉醒者——包括我亲爱的叔叔托马斯·卡森。

三年前,我的父母作为外围防线的游骑兵牺牲了,为黎明城的撤退争取了宝贵时间。根据规定,我应继承50万极光币作为补偿,以及一瓶无价的觉醒药水——一种能瞬间将普通人变成觉醒者的神奇药物。整个黎明城每年生产不超过十瓶这种药水,每瓶在黑市上都能卖出天价。

但托马斯叔叔告诉审查委员会,我因荒原辐射而“精神受损”,需要他保护我的财产。然后呢?他把养老金花在赌场和妓院上,把珍贵的觉醒药水给了他心爱的儿子大卫。

我永远不会忘记那天,我看着大卫从市中心豪宅的窗户注射本该属于我的毒品,从一个无用的花花公子变成了一个觉醒的人。

那我呢?我被扔进了锈蚀区,在4区的化工厂做童工,每天十六小时,每天挣两枚极光币——连买一块发霉面包都不够。

我咳出的血越来越深。

就在这时,小屋里的温度骤降。一股致命的寒意从四面八方袭来,使空气变得浓稠而血腥。我努力抬头,看见了她。

她从虚空中走出,高挑优雅,苍白的皮肤仿佛被月光雕刻而成,半张脸被死亡面具遮住。银白色的长发如瀑布般垂落,她身穿黑色连衣裙,裙摆勾勒出无尽的虚无。

“利奥·卡森。”她的声音空灵而冰冷。“我是海拉,死神。你的怨恨撕裂了生死的界限。”

我大笑起来,笑得肺都快吐了:“哈!连死神都来嘲笑我了?他是想让我死得更快吗?”

赫拉皱眉,显然没料到会有这样的反应。她优雅地漂浮在我面前,递给我两样东西:一本古老的黑书和一颗发出诡异光芒的眼球。

“审判之书与[罪之眼],”她宣称。“所有有罪者都可以被处死。但你必须审判一百个凡人,才能解锁审判那些处于觉醒初期阶段的权威。每次审判都会积累死亡能量,可以修复你的身体并让你更强——但代价是腐化的灵魂。当死亡能量达到顶峰时,你将被彻底妖魔化,变成无意识的怪物——”

“等等,等等,等等。”我突然打断了她,眼中闪过一丝令人恐惧的狂热。“你的意思是,无论我写下谁都会死?”

“准确来说,就是写下审判的理由,然后——”

话还没说完,我已经从床上滚下来,从破碎的木板下拿出一本厚厚的笔记本。封面上歪斜地写着几句:“复仇日记”。

赫拉震惊:“你打算怎么办?”

我疯狂地翻阅着充满报复心的日记,里面写满了无数名字和罪行:

“铁管杰克——他第一天用铁管打了我后脑勺。”

“独眼维克多——他扣留了我三天的工资去买酒。”

“胖迈克——往我的午餐盒里吐口水”

“瘦汤姆——偷了我一半发霉的披萨”

“疤面比利——故意往我身上倒化学废料。”

整整七十八页,每一页都写满了名字。每个名字背后都有详细的时间、地点、罪行和我复仇誓言的记录。

我抓起《审判之书》,拿起桌上的廉价圆珠笔,开始疯狂地抄写:

“铁管杰克,指控:无故袭击未成年人,判决:脑浆溅射致死!”

笔刚写完最后一个字,远处传来一声尖叫。透过窗缝,我看到杰克在地上扭动,捂着头,鲜血从他的七个孔洞流出。与此同时,一股死亡的黑色气息从虚空中涌入我的身体。我感到胸口的撕裂感迅速愈合,但与此同时,某种邪恶的东西在我的血管中奔涌。

“维克多,罪行:童工剥削,判决:被自己毒品掐死!”

又一声尖叫,另一声致命气息。我的肺病正在好转,但我的眼睛开始闪烁着非人类光芒。

海拉的表情从冷漠变成震惊:“等等,这是什么——”

我完全无视他,拼命地继续写:

“胖迈克,犯罪:污染别人的食物,判决:淹死在自己的呕吐物里!”

“瘦猴汤姆,犯罪:盗窃,判决:腰部被劈成两半!”

我每输入一个名字,锈区里就传来一声尖叫。有些人掉进了粪坑,有些人被流弹击中头部,还有一些莫名其妙地起火了。我写得越来越快,越来越疯狂,身体在死亡能量的治愈力量下变得更强壮,但我能感觉到理智一点点被吞噬。

“你疯了!你疯了!”赫拉终于爆发了。“已经是八十五了!你甚至砍了那个偷了你半个发霉披萨的面包师的头?我是不是得给你带个地狱复印机?!看看你的眼睛!他们开始变成恶魔了!”

我抬头看着破碎的镜子里的自己。我曾经的蓝色瞳孔变成了诡异的血红色,皮肤上出现了黑线,像恶魔的印记。但我依然微笑着说:“海拉小姐,你不明白。在这该死的地方,任何不记仇的人早已死去。我最大的美德是——”

咔嗒。

笔墨没了。

我僵住了,盯着手里破碎的圆珠笔,又看着我复仇日记里剩下的十几个名字。死亡能量在我体内涌动,修复身体,同时侵蚀我的灵魂。我能感觉到一种可怕的欲望在体内滋生——杀戮的欲望。

"Only eighty-five..." I stood up with a bitter laugh. "This godforsaken place owes me a debt I can never repay."

Hela looked at the screams echoing across the ground and the black smoke rising in the distance, then at my eyes, now completely blood-red, and realized she might be bound to a humanoid calamity. Her voice trembled slightly: "Leo, the death aura will erode your sanity! If this continues, you'll become a demon!"

I pulled out the last two Aurora coins—all my possessions—from under the bed and struggled toward the door.

"Become a demon?" I turned back to her with a bloodthirsty smile. "Miss Hela, I think it's fine. After all, in this world, only demons can judge demons."

"where are you going?"

"The chemical plant in District 4." I pushed open the rusty iron gate. "Go buy a new pen, and then... fill the remaining spots. It's time for those who treated me like a dog to pay their bills."

The wasteland winds, carrying the stench of chemical waste, swept through the rust-covered area, carrying away the last screams in the distance. I dragged my increasingly demonized body toward the chemical plant, only one thought in my mind:

One hundred heads, for a single ticket to the path of revenge. As for the price? So what if it means the soul is corrupted?

This deal was worthwhile.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
