"Danger!"

The girl's scream was sudden and clear, and it sounded in this dark and windy place.

The already high-pitched tone was even sharper and more harsh after it reverberated in this empty warehouse.

Although it will not make people reach out to cover their ears, they will also frown involuntarily and want to measure their bodies.

Even the one hiding in the darkness was no exception.

Although he disguised it well, and had tried to restrain his reactions, trying not to expose his body because of this. However, how can such a thing as instinct be controlled by man? What's more, in fact, he has long been exposed to the sharp eagle's eye.

As early as when the girl's scream blurted out, the black figure had already turned around, and the eagle dart flipped in his hand, quickly came out of his hand, drawing a half-moon-like arc in the air, and accurately hit the pistol in his hand from bottom to top!

"Boom!"

With a crisp and loud sound of gold and iron handover, the man only felt a numbness in his mouth, and then his whole hand was lifted up by the huge force, and the gun he was holding couldn't help but come out of his hand and was knocked into the air.

However, the removal of the weapon may not be the worst thing for him, because in the next second, the girl's feather arrow followed.

"Whew!"

The sharp feathered arrow barely hindered it, and it easily pierced his palm. It was so smooth that he didn't even have time to feel the pain.

It wasn't until the blood scattered and slid down his palms and into his sleeves that the pain began to spread along with the warm, tingling sensation.

"Ahh

The man's eyes widened, and he clutched his hand with a feathered arrow in it, and screamed miserably.

Half because of pain, half because of fear.

After all, if you want to say that you can just open an opening in your hand, it's okay to cover it, at most it's a pain. And the most terrifying thing is this, the palm of the hand through the past, and still inserted on it. This can cause both physical discomfort and extreme psychological discomfort.

Not only the man herself, but even the girl herself who shot the arrow with her own hands felt a tingling scalp and mild nausea. His wails sounded like the roar of a bow and arrow, hideous and bloodthirsty, full of excitement and restlessness at the first sight of blood.

At that moment, the bow and arrow in her hand seemed to have a thorn, which made the girl feel extremely pierced, and instinctively threw it away.

"Smack!"

The longbow fell to the ground with a small thud, but it seemed a little insignificant under the terrible wail.

The black figure only turned its head slightly, its eyes swept over the trio who suddenly appeared here, and then glanced deeply at the girl with confusion and fear in her eyes, and frowned slightly, but it didn't stay too long.

After all, now he is only a black knight, not a feather wood eagle, and has more important things to do.

The black figure stepped forward and walked towards the howling man.

The speed was not fast, but every step was loud, like the bells of hell, striking the man's heart one by one, making him feel as if he was locked, and for a moment he lost even the courage to escape.

During this time, the ghost-faced samurai lying on the ground seemed to be struggling to get up, and before he could wait for Conan to give them a warning, he saw the black figure throw a slam without looking back, hitting his forehead exposed under the half-shattered mask. The arc flickered, and the ghost-faced samurai fell straight down, smashing to the ground with the electric baton, making two crunch sounds.

"Uh......h Don't come here!"

When the black figure approached him, the gunman screamed desperately, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, and staggered back as if he were drunk, trying to reach for the pistol that had fallen to the ground.

Of course, he could only think about it, because before that, the black figure had pulled him by the collar and lifted him up.

"Tell me, where is your boss!"

The voice was hoarse and deep, mixed with countless echoes, as ghostly as unreal.

"I don't know! I don't know! I don't know what you're talking about!" the man shook his head desperately, struggling to get down.

But, no matter how much he struggled, the merciless iron hand remained unmoved, carrying him away from the reassuring ground little by little.

"Oh, yes...... "The black figure narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a chilling smile, "You don't know anything, but I think you'll know at least one thing, and that's pain......"

Saying this, the man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right hand, and the black figure had already grabbed the feather arrow that pierced his right hand at some point, and then began to twist in one direction mercilessly, making a scalp-numbing "crunch" sound.

"Ahh

"You'd better hope that the pain will stimulate your brain to regain your memory, or your palm will split in half!"

The man begged him desperately for mercy, but the black figure just looked at him coldly like a demon, unmoved.

In the distance, listening to the man's terrible wail, the three of them, who had never seen the brutality of the black knight, couldn't help but be stunned.

In the past, they had only heard of the Black Knight's murder on television and in newspapers, but they did not have a very clear understanding. According to their logic, as a heroic figure, the so-called brutality is just a little harder, and even Conan, who has seen several battles of the Black Knight, thinks so.

However, seeing is believing, and it wasn't until they saw him make such a bloody and cruel act with their own eyes, and his cold appearance did not change his face, that they had a deep understanding of how violent this so-called ferocity was.

For a moment, the three of them were a little unacceptable, as if something had collapsed in their hearts. And as the person who shot that arrow, listening to the hoarse wail, looking at the bloody palm, Xia Fan felt an indescribable sense of nausea and fear surging up, making her hairs stand on end, and she couldn't help covering her mouth.

In the moonlight, the black figure seemed to be darker and deeper.

"I said, I said, so, please, stop!"

Finally, when the palm of his hand was about to split a third, under the double torture of pain and fear, the man finally couldn't hold on.

"Tell me now!" the black figure pulled him in front of his eyes, his eyes like knives, piercing his soul straight through!

"He's in the warehouse area! just a few hundred meters from here! on the outskirts! a brown warehouse full of clothes!"

Fear would come up like a flood and swallow him up as soon as the levees burst. The man began to pour out everything he knew, as if he was pursing his lips desperately and breathing in the air that was about to leave him.

"Thank you!"

With the cold and stiff words, the black figure expressed his gratitude with a sharp elbow on the neck, then reached out and took out his mobile phone from his arms, and threw him to the ground.

“…… Butler, are you there?"

The black figure reached out and pressed the communicator in his ear, then paused slightly to say the name.

"Hmm, are you calling it an old man, young master?" In the eagle's nest, Uncle De put down the black tea in his hand, "I haven't heard this name for a long time?

"Because it's inconvenient now," he couldn't help but turn his back to the direction where the three of them were, and whispered, "What, or do you want to change to a more chic title?"

"That's free, an old man is really not suitable to put on a leotard and play trapeze tricks in the Rice Flower Circus. Uncle De put the black tea on the table, then picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands elegantly, "So, what do you need to do?"

"Trace the signal. With that, the black figure found the number that had been dialed the most today and pressed the call button.

"How's it going!

The phone rang, and it was instantly picked up, and it was a question.

It can be seen that the other party is really in a hurry. It also means that you have chosen the correct answer.

"How's it going?

I didn't hear the response from this side, and the voice over there couldn't help but become a little angry, and at the same time began to become agitated.

However, the answer to him was still a deathly silence, and if he was silent to the other side, he would be a fool, and he should know that something was wrong.

After silently counting the seconds in his heart, the black figure sneered, put the phone to his mouth, and said in an extremely gloomy voice-

“I’m coming for you。 ”

At that moment, he heard the sound of the phone falling to the ground, and then sneered and pressed the idle button.

"Did you find it?" he whispered again as he asked the old butler sitting in front of the computer.

"It's locked, the location has been uploaded to your PDA, young master, and the old man has also remotely parked the chariot in the outer area to surround them. ”

He was answered by the same elegant and reliable English accent as ever.

"Good. With that, he couldn't help but cut off the communication for a while, and then turned around and walked outside.

And seeing him walking slowly, the three people who stopped at the door couldn't help but take a small step back.

"What happened?"

That small movement naturally did not escape his eyes, but it did not affect him much. Without the slightest pause in his footsteps, he walked straight in front of them, glanced at their scarred appearances, and asked with a frown.

"It's similar to what happened to you......" Conan, who was the first to come back to his senses, briefly explained the ins and outs to him.

"It can't be a coincidence, it should have been planned together. The black figure frowned slightly.

"Well, I think so too, so I've asked Sister Xiaolan to notify the police, and I'm sure they're going to be there soon. ”

"Really......"

The black figure nodded, and then reached out and took Sakura's right hand in the surprised eyes of Sakura and Xia Fan.

"The pain was only for a moment. The man stared at her and said.

"Huh?"

Before Sakura could react, with two "clicks", her dislocated shoulder joint had been straightened back.

"Thank you, thank you!" Sakura retracted her right hand in shock, bowing to the man in front of her.

"Leave the rest to the police, it's not safe here, hurry back." ”

With that, the black figure walked straight past them, walking towards them without looking back.

"Wait, wait!"

Seeing that he left without even taking care of himself, Xia Fan couldn't help blurting out and headed towards the black back.

The man stopped and looked back at her, his eyes indifferent and cold, making her choke all the words she wanted to say in her throat.

"You...... It was ok that night......"

Until the end, the thousand words converged into a cautious greeting, afraid of being too distant, and afraid of being too close.

"I'm fine, thank you. However, the man did not seem to give her even the slightest distance, interrupted her bluntly, then looked at her deeply, and said, "Go back quickly, this is not something you children should be involved in." ”

If it was in the past, Xia Fan, who was hated as a child, heard such words, and he would have to refute a few words, even if it was him, the black knight. But just when her own hand pierced through someone's palm, and that cruel sense of disgust and fear surrounded her, she really realized how far this dark life was from them living in the light.

Perhaps, it really is like what he said. No matter how much I want to deny it, I am still a child, an innocent child.

"That kind of guy doesn't deserve your hands dirty for. ”

Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but look back at her anymore.

"That's why people like me exist. ”

With these words, the man pulled out the hook and disappeared from her vision.

"So, we just have to look at your back, is that enough?"

Xia Fan tucked his hand in front of his chest, clenched it slightly, and looked at his back as he left steadily, slightly distracted.

And at the moment when she was in a daze, the white figure beside her had already rushed out like lightning.

"Eh, Sakura-chan, where are you going? Eh, wait!"

No matter how Conan called, the girl never stopped her steps, but kept running in one direction, even if there were obstacles and walls, but they would not really block her way. Because she knows very well what she is chasing, who she is chasing.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as the man landed lightly on the roof, the cold voice of the resolute girl appeared anxiously behind him.

"I should have said, go home, didn't you understand?"

The man stopped, turned his head, and gave a cold look at the white-haired girl who was trying his best to catch up.

"Until then, I want to ask you to teach me how to become stronger...... Like you!"

The white-haired girl took a deep breath and stared directly into his cold, piercing eyes without fear.

"I think you're asking the wrong person this question, you should ask your master, or some other martial artist. Like me, it's not a good thing......" The man's cheeks were as cold as ever, but there was an indescribable smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's time to go to bed, be a good child who doesn't worry your parents and friends, go home and sleep early......"

With that, the man was ready to take another step. This time, it won't be so easy to catch up.

"You're Brother Eagleya, right?"

However, at the moment when the man was about to take a step, he was suddenly frozen by the sudden words of the girl behind him.

"I don't know who you're talking about, but it's clear that you've mistaken someone, little girl. ”

Surprise is surprise, but the man's heart is so determined, it is only a momentary thing, and there is no superfluous movement at all, even the girl who stares at his reaction can not see his strangeness.

"Well, then, it's rude!"

Seeing his appearance of not getting a drop of water, the girl couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then rushed forward with a kick.

"What do you want to do?" the man tilted his body to the side without looking back, easily dodging the girl's kick. At the same time, he grabbed her ankle with one hand, turned his body slightly, and threw the girl far away.

"I want to see what you look like under your mask! Prove if I'm wrong, brother! Otherwise, please fight me!"

Different from the gentle and tolerant on weekdays, today's girls are particularly aggressive, pressing forward excessive demands step by step. It was like a lion cub waking up from its sleep, shedding its warm and supple fur and revealing its sharp and terrifying claws.

Maybe it was the previous battle that stimulated her, Xia Fan's injury, the words of Tachibana Maya, and the dojo at home, as well as the words that the man just said to coax her, all of them were like salt water seeping into the wound, stimulating her to clench her teeth.

She knows that for her who has reached the bottleneck, if she wants to further improve, the powerful man in front of her is undoubtedly the best choice!

"I'm not going to fight you, that's just a waste of time for me. Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed to be full of warlike intent to blow up, the man just shook his head lightly, "And I won't take off my mask." ”

"Why?" the girl stared at the man in front of her tightly.

"Because the mask is a responsibility. The man gave the girl in front of him a deep look, "You should know how many people are scared by this mask, and how many people hate it." It doesn't protect my personal identity, but all the people I love, and the people who support me, their lives. So, I'm not going to let you take it off except from my corpse. ”

Hearing the man's words, the girl's heart couldn't help but feel a high respect. At the same time, compared to everything he had done, she suddenly realized how childish her behavior was at the moment, and she couldn't help blushing and retracting her fists.

"If you want to be chivalrous next time, it's best to have a mask. ”

Seeing that the girl seemed to have no intention of fighting, the man looked at her deeply and said so.

"It's just that I'll try not to let that happen. ”

With that, the man stopped and jumped over the roof, jumped onto his motorcycle, and disappeared from her vision.

"Mask...... What?"

The white-haired girl looked in the direction the man had left and muttered thoughtfully.

"Tick-Tick-"

At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly sounded at the end of the distant road.

The sound grew louder and louder from far to near, the black and blue light flickered, and the group of people who had been late finally appeared.

"Hope...... He'll be able to get out of the way in time......"

The girl said so, then turned around and went back to find Xia Fan and them.

=====================================================================

"Damn it! Hurry up!"

Kuroiwa Chenji was like a powder keg about to explode at this moment, stimulating the surrounding air to gradually begin to become agitated.

That damn kobold samurai! Isn't that a killer on the list?

"What a bullshit ghost samurai! can't even kill a person! and a professional killer!"

Kuroiwa slammed his fist into the leather cushion, as if he could get back the huge sum of money he had lost.

"Boss, that's no ordinary person! that's a black knight!" said the younger brother who was reversing.

"What a bullshit black knight! It's just a clown in a rubber tightsuit who doesn't dare to show his true face!"

Kuroiwa yelled angrily, completely forgetting how he was in front of that clown in the first place.

[If he is a clown, then the whole rice flower is his family's circus......]

The younger brothers couldn't help muttering in their hearts, but the movements of their hands still didn't slow down.

Although there were more than a dozen of them, they still didn't feel safe at all.

Because they knew very well that the evil star was on his way, and if he caught it, it would not be as simple as eating prison food......

No, I might still be crying and begging him to let me go to prison quickly, right?

But the more you don't want something to happen, the more that thing will hit your eyes.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Whoa!"

There was a loud bang followed by a violent tremor, and before they could react to what was happening, a biting cold wind poured into their mouths!

"Lay down your arms!"

With a dull demonic whisper, the black behemoth that had stopped in front of them at some point had already reached out of its top with a hard, black barrel aimed at all of them.

"You're surrounded by me!"

The man stood high on top of the behemoth, with one foot on the barrel and staring at them coldly.

======================================================================

"Sakura-chan (sister), where did you just go?"

When the white-haired girl tumbled down from the edge of the warehouse roof, Xia Fan and Conan couldn't help but surround her.

"I didn't ...... I'd like to catch up with him and ask him something...... Didn't catch up with ......."

Looking at her best friend's anxious face, Sakura, who wanted to tell the truth, suddenly lied like a ghost for some reason.

"Yes......" Xia Fan couldn't help but lower his head, and his frustration was so obvious that he couldn't hide it.

"Xia Fan, in fact, ......"

"Hey, Conan, Natsu Fan, Sakura, are you all right?"

Just when Sakura sighed and wanted to say something, Xiaolan, who had been off the line for a long time, finally arrived with a large army from the Rice Flower Metropolitan Police Department.

"Ah, we're fine, Sister Xiaolan!" Seeing Xiaolan, Conan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and waved at her.

"Where's Dad?" Xiaolan couldn't help but ask nervously, "Is Dad okay?" and Miss Maya, she ......"

"It's okay, the prisoner has been subdued by us, and my uncle is only slightly injured and is leaning over there to sleep!"

Saying this, Xia Fan couldn't help but point to Maori who was sleeping against the warehouse gate with a smile and anger.

The first situation after escaping death is not panic, but it is actually a relaxed and sinking into a dream, should it be said that it is really worthy of the sleeping Kogoro?

"Whew......" Xiaolan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank God...... Oh no, thank you!"

"You're welcome, that's what we should do!" Xia Fan couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"Ah, aren't you the daughter of the Yuchai family?"

At this time, Officer Twilight walked up to Xia Fan in his yellow coat that had not changed all his years, and said in surprise.

"Meet Officer Twilight again, you really bothered about what happened last time. ”

Seeing the elders, Xia Fan instantly turned back into the polite young lady, and bowed very gracefully to Officer Dusk.

"Where, where, within the boundary. Twilight hurriedly waved her hand, "But then again, why is Miss Yuchai here this time?"

"It's just a coincidence. Xia Fan smiled gently and said obediently, "And the police officer, just call me Xia Fan." ”

"Xia Fan!" Then at this time, Sakura's voice suddenly came, and there was a hint of anxiety in her words.

"What's the matter, Sakura-chan!" Xia Fan didn't have time to continue pretending to be well-behaved, and hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from.

"Gone!" Sakura's voice showed a hint of unease.

"What's missing?" Xia Fan couldn't help but say suspiciously.

"The guy who just lay on the ground......! The black knight knocked down, the man with the demon mask!"

Following Sakura's fingers, Xia Fan couldn't help but look at the center of the warehouse, the floor that should have been someone, but it was empty at the moment.

"How could it be...... Why? Just ...... it was still ."

The two young girls couldn't help but fall into deep doubts, so deep that their backs were soaked with cold sweat.

======================================================================

"Fluctuation amplitude 0.67mm...... Although it was faint, it did catch the signal ......"

On the roof in the distance, in a place that no one noticed, a man said so, extinguishing the screen of his watch.

"Even the police are here, what just happened here?"

It was a little far away, but the man muttered to himself as if he could see the scene without the help of anything.

"Forget it, it's not like it's not without gains, is it...... At least I know, it's really in the rice flower, yes, let's go back today!"

"Let's go home and discuss with him before deciding......"

With that, the man muttered, rubbed his neck, moved his muscles slightly, and then leaped forward.

"Click!"

The roof of the iron shed, which he had kicked on, let out a wail and sunk into a large piece.

The man, on the other hand, jumped up with the help of this force, jumped and disappeared into the night sky at an inhuman height and distance.
