Rimbaud Once Suspected Verlaine of Running a Pig-Butchering Scam

Verlaine was forced to transmigrate to twentieth-century Paris. The Dresden Slate, culprit behind his transmigration, left him with these additional baggage items: An alcoholic father, a silent mother, a little sister who only hid in closets, and his own ability, “Illuminations.” At the age of ten, Verlaine was invited to join an organization called the Paris Commune. He refused their offer to change his name and identity, but accepted his membership ticket. After four years of intensive training, the fourteen-year-old finally received his first official assignment. His target was “Number Twelve of the Black”: an artificial ability experiment subject imprisoned deep inside a laboratory. According to the files, the subject was younger than his sister. “You say you'll take me with you? Then you're responsible for me.” Verlaine led him out of the laboratory, taught him how to eat, comb his hair, and recognize the sincerity in people's hearts. He also gave him a real name: Arthur Rimbaud. In return, the boy gave him all of his possessiveness and a devotion that crossed every boundary. The boy Verlaine had personally brought from the laboratory into the human world had long since become the one person in this world he could neither afford nor wanted to lose. Rimbaud always looked at him with those clear eyes. “Do you love me?” 【Bonus Scene】 The whole Commune said Number Twelve of the Black was a ticking time bomb. Verlaine slammed the file down on the table. “Say that again, I dare you! My partner is the best. Are you all deaf?” 【Content Warning】 (1) The protagonist isn't a paragon of virtue. Both protagonists seem calm on the surface, but in truth, they're both completely crazy about each other.
