"Smack!"

The chess pieces landed on the books and made a dull sound in the huge study.

"This body, this name, what are you going to do?" asked Jiu Lanshu, sitting sideways behind the mahogany desk, seemingly very leisurely. "I was confused from the beginning...... Can you answer that for me?"

And standing in front of him was Scarlet Sakura, "Of course...... It's to help you. ”

She looked at a wisp behind her, as if inadvertently, with an inexplicable smile on her lips.

Of course, Jiu Lanshu also noticed the silent young man at the door, he was silent, but his eyes were dark, "It's really a boring hobby, since you want to play, I can accompany you at any time." ”

"Play with me?" Scarlet sneered as if she had heard something interesting, "When did you start to become so conscientious? I can't help but wonder about your relationship with that girl. ”

Hearing the implied threat of Scarlet Sakura, Jiu Lanshu was not surprised at all, and still said unhurriedly: "What you didn't succeed in 4 years ago, you won't succeed in 4 years." If I were you, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. ”

"Huh. Scarlet Sakura covered her mouth and smiled, "Are you reminding me of the agreed matter?"

Jiu Lanshu looked at Scarlet Sakura noncommittally and did not answer.

Not caring about Jiu Lanshu's thoughts, Scarlet Sakura looked back at the expressionless young man, and said meaningfully, "It's really pitiful." In the same way, as human beings, one is protected intact, and the other is used as a bargaining chip. To be used to the fullest, in the end it will be said that it is the meaning of zài......"

"It's none of your business. Jiu Lanshu said indifferently.

Scarlet Sakura didn't care about his attitude, looked at the clenched fists on the sides of the boy's body with satisfaction, and walked out with a chuckle.

"Ah, stupid, it's wrong here again. The chairman pointed to an exercise in the notebook and said with teeth and claws.

Yuki responded absentmindedly, crossed out and re-wrote the steps, and then was educated again.

The chairman of the board of directors said in his usual tone, with a hint of concern, "Yuki, are you tired? If you are tired, go and rest, you can write these questions tomorrow." ”

Yuki shook her head, even if she didn't write the question, she still couldn't sleep, so she might as well sit here and kill time.

Just when the chairman of the board of directors had no choice but to take Yuki, he saw the figure gradually coming over in the corridor, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab the other party, "Zero, you came just in time, come and teach Yuji to learn." Now, when people are old, they just don't have energy, so I went to sleep. ”

Without waiting for the two of them to react differently, the chairman of the board of directors left with a wave of his hand.

Yuki looked up at Zero, obviously stunned, then lowered her head and swiped her notebook back and forth.

To her surprise, Zero walked in, sat down next to her, picked up the book on the table, and flipped through the pages. The sound of "bang" of pages filled the room, and there was no other sound.

"The substitution of functions, the values of x and y are reversed, and they have to be written like this. Zero picked up his other pen and scribbled the beautiful formula on the white paper. Arrange them neatly and push them in front of Yuuki. "Well, like this. ”

"Hmm? Yuki looked at the formula on the paper in confusion, wondering why Zero was still talking to herself as usual. The depressed mood for several days seems to be aroused by something, and grievances come one after another, mixed with a glimmer ......of hope, "Isn't Zero angry with me?"

Zero was stunned and turned to look away, "I'm not mad at you, these days...... It has nothing to do with you. ”

Is it okay?, Yuki lowered her head, her eyelids drooping.

Since it doesn't matter, why don't you even reveal the reason to yourself? But that Ze knows more than he knows...... She and Zero grew up as children, didn't they? Isn't that kind of affection that has been dependent on each other for many years, and the things that are most jealous and hated of each other, more solid than those who have known each other for a few days? When did you become almost like a passer-by?

It doesn't matter if you deny all the pain you've been suffering for days?

Is this still zero? the zero who protects her wholeheartedly, and will put her own feelings first even if she doesn't say much.

"Hmm......" Zero covered the totem around his neck and lowered his head suddenly.

Yuki came back to her senses from her thoughts, saw Zero's anomaly and asked, "Zero, what's wrong with you?"

"There was a dull ache in the place where I had been bitten. Although it was an understatement, the slightly trembling shoulders betrayed his feelings at the moment, "Don't worry, even so, I still survived." ”

Listening to Zero talk about the past in a daze, Yuki suddenly noticed that at some point, Zero's face became more and more pale, and the circles around his eyes were filled with a rich blue-black.

His expression was gloomy, like a falling star, stripped of all its light.

That night, the words that Scarlet Sakura had been talking in her ears sounded again inexplicably.

Don't cut off contact with each other just because the other person doesn't care about your kindness. Sometimes, the path he thinks he can be happy on is actually more dangerous. As a good friend, you should show him the way forward, even if he doesn't understand your feelings yet...... Yuuki-chan, are you right?

Distracted, he stood up and met the familiar eyes. Yuki gritted her teeth and said in a normal tone as much as possible, "Take a break, I'll pour coffee." ”

Zero looked at Yuki's figure walking out and slowly frowned.

*

Yuki walked out of the dormitory and walked slowly on the gravel path.

I don't know how long it took, but a touch of white broke into view.

Looking up slowly, I saw Scarlet Sakura smiling at herself.

"Is Yuki-san taking a walk?" and walked towards Yuki with his hands behind his back, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Shaking her head subconsciously, Yuki looked at the sand and stones on the ground in a daze and did not speak.

Scarlet Sakura didn't mean to continue to ask, Yuki's unruly spirit had already explained a lot of things, and there was no need for her to further force and provoke the hostility of Jiu Lanshu and the chairman.

Turn around and leave-

"Maria-san!" Unexpectedly, Yuki stepped forward to grab Scarlet Sakura, her tone anxious but at a loss, "Zero him, what's wrong with him?"

"He's, can't you see it?"

Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to calmly say "he...... He's going to be fine, right?"

"It's okay...... Actually, you're worried, aren't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me. A soft voice hit Yuuki's most vulnerable defense," he said...... It's okay now. ”

Hearing that Scarlet Sakura was gossiping that it was okay, Yuki was first overjoyed, and then noticed the voiceover-

Now? Is it just now?

Scarlet Sakura approached the panicked girl, and the corners of her mouth outlined a strange smile, "Soon, he will become LevelE." But...... Just donate your blood to him, and he will be free from the possibility of becoming a demon. Would you like to?"

After a brief momentary pause, Yuhime nodded.

"Let's make a deal, in exchange, I want you to do something that only you can do. ”

Scarlet Sakura, who was already gently hugging Yuki's neck, smiled happily.

Even if she kept her agreement with Jiu Lanshu. Still, you see, the sins and emotions in the hearts of human beings can still make them willing to fall.

She...... In the end, it will be a winner.

Before Scarlet Sakura could get her hands on it, a "bang" gunshot scared away the birds in the forest.

"Let her go!"

Originally, Zero was worried about seeing Yuki come out dejected, and when he saw that she was just walking, he was ready to go back. I didn't expect Scarlet Sakura to appear, and I didn't expect Scarlet Sakura to suck Yuki's blood.

In a hurry, he couldn't care about the rejection in the depths of his soul, and forcibly blocked the good things of Scarlet Sakura's leisure.

To Zero's surprise, Yuki actually took out the goddess of hunting and stood in front of Scarlet Sakura. "Please step aside, Zero...... Please. ”

"Yuki, get out of the way!" Zero restrained the fear in his heart, and reluctantly aimed the spear of the Blood Rose at Scarlet Sakura.

Even if they die today, they can't let Yuki be hurt.

Yuki's eyes revealed a pain that was difficult to dissolve, and she shook her head, "Don't!"

"Why?" Zero asked in disbelief.

In Yuki's opinion, he sacrificed himself for zero, and he should put himself in her shoes and re-emphasize pampering himself, instead of yelling here. The grievances and resentments hidden in my heart all erupted, and I shouted in a state of oblivion: "Because only this person can save zero!"

Scarlet Sakura stood calmly behind Yuki, and couldn't help but laugh when she heard the girl reveal her feelings.

What an idiot, how could Cone Zero and Jiu Lanshu love her? It was he who made Zero degenerate into LevelE, even if he took the initiative to save him, he would not be appreciated by the other party. What's more, he was the enemy of the cone-born family at the beginning, and he was the culprit who killed their family. According to Cone Sheng's character, even if she self-destructs, she won't let □ Duan beg her.

Yuki, who was also victimized by vampires, didn't understand Cone Zero's mood at all? In doing so, she was tantamount to destroying the last of Cone Zero's dignity.

Or is it ...... Jiu Lanshu and he have protected Yuki so well in the past few years that they have completely forgotten their proper identity and attitude towards vampires.

Oh, stupid love is so pathetic.

Even if Yuki's actions made Scarlet Sakura idle, she would not be stupid enough to open her mouth to remind her, and this situation aroused her mood to watch the play.

Sure enough, the pain in the depths of Zero's eyes intensified. He didn't expect Yuki to really do such a thing regardless of his feelings. Out of instinctive love for Yuki, he can't say anything to hurt the other party, so he can only repeat: "That woman can save me?",

didn't hear the love in Cone Sheng's words, Yuki said more confidently: "That's right, as long as I keep the agreement...... Listen to me, zero. The only way you can keep yourself from becoming a LevelE is ...... Drink her blood!"

What I already knew, what I tried so hard to dodge, was torn and exposed to the sun by the most trusted people in an instant, eroded and destroyed, drenched in blood, and unrecognizable.

Zero slowly stepped forward, and Yuki was forced to retreat step by step until there was no way to retreat.

The fair-skinned and slender fingers clenched the goddess of hunting, ignoring the sharp pain like a knife and a pin-and-needle pricking from the fingertips, and the palm of the hand was burned into a black char by the electric spark. "Get out of the way. ”

"No, zero. With tears in her eyes, Yuki raised her hand and struck Zero on the bitten neck, hoping to neutralize his attack.

Looking at Yuki's wrist with a lightning weapon, the look in his eyes became more and more gloomy.

"Yuki ......"

Seeing this, Scarlet Sakura raised her lips and smiled, "It's okay Yuhime, Zero can't kill me." ”

Yes no, not no.

Like a spell, Zero's movements are slowed.

Very satisfied with Zero's reaction, Scarlet Sakura raised her eyes and looked: "I'm really glad you heard my master's voice, and I'm looking forward to the moment when you will obey me." It's not my real body, but the power of bondage doesn't just come from sound, you say?"

Yuki looked at Zero with some confusion.

The power of bondage? What is that?

Without waiting for her to figure it out, Scarlet Sakura continued, "Ah, that's right. You're going to hold on to Yuki for me, you see. ”

Zero was shocked, I don't know if Scarlet Sakura really had a restraining effect on him, he really didn't let go of the hand that grabbed Yuki.

A blade of wind blew through Zero's ear, slicing blood-red marks across his face.

Jiu Lanshu walked out from the other side of the fountain and said indifferently, "Let go of Yuki." ”

Because of the agreement between the two parties, Jiu Lanshu can't be the first to make a move, and once he makes a move, then Yuki, who is closest to Scarlet Sakura, will be the first to be hurt.

The oath of the Bloodline has always had a special power, and neither side can break it at will. Because of this, Scarlet Sakura will use zero to lure Yuhime, and use zero to control Yuhime.

Jiu Lanshu, who has never questioned his strength, lowered his posture in front of his opponent for the first time.

He didn't dare to bet on Yuki's safety.

Scarlet Sakura, who had been prepared, smiled leisurely: "So, what is Yuki's choice? ”

Jiu Lanshu clenched his fists, his faint eyes darkened, and the anxiety that could not be ignored passed through his eyes. As long as Yuki doesn't agree to Scarlet Sakura, she'll be fine.

Yuki looked at Zero's pale side face in a daze, and then turned her head to look at Jiu Lanshu, whose red eyes were still swirling, and her heart was already in chaos.

The atmosphere instantly condensed heavily, as if time had stood still.

Scarlet Sakura, who was about to speak, heard a muffled sound of "fluttering" in the air, and then a sharp pain came from her chest, gradually paralyzing most of her body.

Everyone present was shocked by the sudden turn.

Izawa slowly pulled out his right hand □ Scarlet Sakura's chest, casually shook the flesh on it, and walked out from behind.

There was still that kind of light smile on his face: "All those who bully the zero-threat Jiulan senior will be killed." Even women are no exception. ”

After speaking, he thought he was handsome and shook his hand at Jiu Lanshu and Zero.

Jiu Lanshu didn't expect him to appear at this time, staring at the blood on his hands, "You ......"

Ize's dark golden eyes flowed with an extremely shallow light, like a faint morning mist, exuding a hazy light, under the gaze of these eyes, Jiu Lanshu felt that there seemed to be no secret to hide.

And here Zero broke free from the restraints, stiffly let go of Yuki, and stood in place at a loss, not knowing what he was thinking.

The atmosphere was restored to the strange feeling just now, and everyone had different thoughts and thought about the same questions.

It was at this moment that Izawa covered his lips and coughed in pain. Blood continued to spill down his fingers, staining the tiles red in a matter of moments. Every part of the body is tearing, and the soul seems to have been invaded with sulfuric acid, tearing the heart and lungs.

One thing after another happened that everyone was unacceptable and didn't know how to face it.

Jiu Lanshu watched as Ize bent over and coughed in pain, and quickly stopped taking a step forward. Zero opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't spit out a word for a long time. As for Yuki, she was already scared silly.

Izawa felt their reaction, and lowered his head, the corners of his mouth pulling out an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Is...... It's boring.

"Ahh

At Yuki's exclamation, Izawa fell to the ground and slowly closed his eyes.
