"Kihara..."

I shuddered, "Shhh Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just when I thought "someone" was going to run past me, something terrible happened.

The person who came running was holding a mobile phone in his hand, and the screen light illuminated his face, no, it was the person who illuminated him and the people chasing behind him together, and it was another "man in black" who was chasing him fiercely, and he was running wildly with his mobile phone... It's Jinchuan.

Huh?

Didn't Jin Chuan die just now? Why is it here? Is it my hallucination?

With a "click", a broken wooden stick pierced Jin Chuan's left thigh under the force of the man in black's fierce blow, and I even heard the sound of bones breaking, "Ah! Jin Chuan fell to the ground in response, and the man in black pounced on him, and less than two meters away from me, the two figures scuffled together like two snakes fighting viciously.

"You are..."

Jin Chuan desperately resisted the attack of the man in black, squeezing out two words from between his teeth between the fierce breath, the man in black pulled out the wooden stick inserted in Jin Chuan's thigh, and aimed it at Jin Chuan's eyes with a sharp oblique cut to launch a second wave of attacks, at the same time, Jin Chuan screamed at the extremely severe pain from his thigh, and I couldn't see Jin Chuan's appearance under the black shadow, but the scream sounded like it made my heart tremble.

An urge to rush out to help him flashed through my brain, I moved my body slightly, Kihara tried his best to hold me, I understood that he was silently warning me "don't go", and then I heard the sound of something being pierced in a row, like the sound of a knife stuck in a fruit, several times in a row, Jin Chuan's mobile phone fell to the side, and the screen light that was still on illuminated saw that the wooden stick stained red with blood was constantly stabbing someone in the abdomen, stabbing violently one by one, and dark red blood gushed out, I stared at the bloody scene with my eyes wide open, and the screams in my throat almost choked me, after all, what terrified me was that... The one who is killing... It's Kanegawa.

The man in black obviously has no breath left to live, and under the brutal slaughter of flesh and blood, the powerful man in black has also become another victim in the darkness.

How could Jin Chuan have so much strength? I can't relate to his delicate appearance at all, and he has the upper hand over the man in black at any point, probably when I didn't pay attention.

At this time, Jin Chuan suddenly raised his head and looked directly at me, and I felt a strong killing intent rushing towards me like a hurricane.

I clenched my crossbow, and if he pounced, I would have hit him in the heart, but... Unexpectedly, Jin Chuan just stared at me in place, his upturned pupils burst out with a strange and cold light, he licked the blood of the man in black who splashed on the corner of his mouth, and then got up and rushed away from the direction he came from...

I stared at everything I couldn't explain, as if I had lost consciousness...

"That's Jin Chuan, right?"

I wondered if I had woken up from a nightmare, and after Kihara turned on the flashlight, I saw that he had been staring in the direction Kanegawa had left.

"-Yes, it's Jinchuan."

"But before Jin Chuan, he had already been... Dead, isn't it? ”

"This is the second one?"

"What...?"

"This kind of situation, repeated like a stand-in, is already the second."

Kihara looked at me and continued calmly, "I've met two Akeya-san in different places before, and now it's Kanegawa again, but..."

"But?"

"There's a strange thing, they're all a man in black and a normal person."

"That means one appears as a classmate, and the other appears as a man in black, right?"

"Hmm-"

"But didn't the man in black cover his face? How can you tell who it is? ”

"Belongings, there will always be a thing that marks his identity on him, just like Jin Chuan's necklace, Ming Ye is a small bag hanging on his waist, and the black version of Ming is dead, so I found this hint."

Yes, everyone brought their belongings with them on this trip, and it just so happened that everyone seemed to have something to identify themselves, I remember it was like a bracelet from a cherry tree, an earring from Suizu, and a watch with TS letters printed on Momoi... Are these all coincidences?

Or is there something else going on?

"Let's go, otherwise it's too late, and maybe there will be an answer when you get to the wasteland."

Kihara held out his hand to me, and I pulled him half-in my arms and continued to walk down the narrow and dark corridor.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the light in the passage was weak and strong to change the sense of light and shade, Kihara didn't speak, just walked silently, and it was inconvenient for me to always speak, after all, it took too much physical strength to say, and it was a bad feeling to make people panic about going on endlessly, until I saw a small door that finally appeared not far away, and the silent atmosphere was broken by my mouth.

"Kihara, what exactly is the wasteland you are talking about? How long are we going to go like this? ”

"A little further on, you should be there."

"Should? Are you not sure? ”

I began to panic when Kihara's expression seemed abnormal to me, and after passing through the small door, I noticed that the road under my feet was starting to go downhill.

I stopped suddenly, and some bad premonitions unconsciously rose in my head.

"What? What's the problem? ”

Kihara said softly, and in the dim light, his face looked pretty and terrifying.

"I... No problem. ”

"Rurixi, you said before that you believed in me very much, what's the matter? Started to get suspicious now? If you don't believe me, it's still too late to go back, and I won't hunt you down. ”

He said it as easily as a joke, and I was a little embarrassed.

"That's... I believe Kihara-san, let's move on. ”

He didn't say anything more, and returned to his previous silence, but my hand on his hand began to feel relaxed, not as hard as the gravity before, and Kihara's walking posture began to gradually return to normal, as if he was not injured.

"Kihara... You... Doesn't the injured area hurt? ”

I secretly wondered in my heart, that wound was so big, he used to limp with his hands on his waist, but now...

"It doesn't hurt much, I probably don't feel it anymore."

Nonsense—how could I not feel it, I really began to wonder, and my eyes kept looking at his waist.

"Or... We're going to take a break here, there's no killer chasing you anyway, so let me examine your wounds. ”

"No need, time is running out, it's better to go quickly."

"The best... Let's check it out. ”

Although I thought it was a bit ridiculous for me to make such a request, I just felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but uncover his clothes and check it out.

"Ruriki, what are you doing..."

Kihara stopped my hand, but I still took the first step to uncover the corner of his clothes.

"Hurt... What about wounds? ”

I stared at Kihara with wide eyes in horror.
