The silver-white long knife was stained with bright red blood, and beads of blood dripped down the blade from the tip of the knife.

The sound of a drop is very harsh.

In a flash!

A few rays of light broke free from the shackles of the dark night sky and shone through the sky, shining on this endless land, and the blood reflected the scarlet blood color, making people see more clearly.

"Cut! Did it fail!? Shadow Black said in a low voice, this opportunity was seized by him after he had been lurking for a long time, and the military advisor had already guessed Uncle Sang's move to let the enemy go, so he sent him just in case.

It's just that he missed, and he felt ashamed of the trust of the military advisor.

"Huh!? Cough......! Ciel's hands gripped the long knife that had pierced her abdomen, she didn't think her hunch was right, and she didn't think her hunch was right.

Just now Hill heard the sound next to him, and as a killer, she could hear it clearly, it was the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air.

Although she couldn't see who the sharp weapon was going to attack, she subconsciously pushed away Aya Xiaocheng next to her, no matter who the sharp weapon was going to attack, her subconscious was that she didn't want Aya Xiaocheng to be hurt.

And the consequences of this move.

It is.

Aya was pushed aside, while she herself was stabbed through the abdomen with a long knife.

However, Aya Xiaocheng's reaction speed is still very fast, even if he relaxed his perception of the surrounding environment at first because of a mistake, because he really didn't expect the enemy to come out of his shadow and attack.

But he quickly slashed at the enemy in his back.

However, because the silver blade in his hand is only half of the blade, it only cuts a deep wound in the enemy's arm, and cannot completely kill the enemy.

"Huh!?" Shadow Black let out a dull sound, even if he was agile, he didn't expect Aya Xiaocheng to attack him at such a time.

There was a deep blood mark on the arm, and blood flowed out of the wound, staining the entire arm with blood, and the wound was deep.

However, he is also a person who has experienced a lot of fighting, and when he pulled out the knife in severe pain, Hill spat out a mouthful of blood again, covering the wound tightly, but the amount of bleeding was too great, and the blood kept spilling from the cracks of his fingers.

Shadow Black then quickly burrowed into the shadow, and then emerged from Uncle Sang's shadow, covering his arm to bandage his wounds.

"Ciel!" Aya Xiaocheng's pupils widened slightly, obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect Hill to sacrifice himself to save him, he quickly helped Hill, who was stumbling and about to fall to the ground at any time.

"Shadow Black, what are you doing!?" Uncle Sang said with a cold expression, holding the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand, as if it would suddenly burst out in the next moment, cutting the shadow black in half.

Ying Hei, who was standing behind Uncle Sang, drank a vial of blood, then threw the empty bottle away, and said with a gloomy face: "Uncle Sang, don't forget our mission and let go of the opponent, are you betraying us?" ”

"Shadow Black, I'll decide my own affairs, if you interfere in my battle again, I'll kill you together! Got it? The silver light flashed, and a slender knife lay across Ying Hei's throat, and Uncle Sang said coldly without looking back.

His tone was cold, the kind of death that Shadow Black knew very well that next time he would actually do it.

Shadow Black's face changed for a while, he could feel the breath of the ice on the blade, and he didn't even dare to swallow his saliva, for fear of being pierced by the sharp blade.

"Uncle Sang, you have to understand that we are grasshoppers in the same boat, don't do anything out of the ordinary." Shadow Black said hoarsely, then burrowed into the shadow space again, and disappeared.

Uncle Sang put the knife back into the scabbard, looking at the girl in front of him who was stabbed through the abdomen with a long knife and the boy holding her, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this girl would sacrifice her life to save the boy.

It's stupid, it's stupid.

He saw a little distracted, some recalled, some unwilling, some painful......

"Ahem, ahem!" Hill coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood in pain, and the intense pain in her abdomen forced her to sit down on her knees, and Aya Xiaocheng helped her to sit down slowly.

Aya Xiaocheng quickly took out a blood bottle from the system backpack, opened the wooden stopper, aimed the mouth of the bottle at Hill's small mouth, and said softly: "Drink it, and you'll be fine." ”

Hill was left and right by the pain at this time, and when he heard the voice of Aya Xiaocheng next to him, he subconsciously opened his small mouth, and Aya Xiaocheng poured it directly.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Sang shook his head and said regretfully: "Young man, it's useless, she's different from us, this kind of thing won't work." ”

When Uncle Sang saw that the boy wanted to use the blood vial to save the girl who saved him, he seemed to see that he was helpless back then, but he didn't have a blood vial at that time, and now the young man has a blood vial but can't use it.

Is this fate?

Uncle Sang's vicissitudes of life were full of sadness.

This young man seems to be his former self.

Aya Xiaocheng hurriedly called out the system and asked why the blood vial couldn't be used.

[The "Blood Vial", a product of the Strength Space, and all healing items provided by the system are only effective for the contractor's digital body]

[Other non-contractors shall not enjoy the same rights]

A machine-synthesized electronic sound sounded in Aya Xiaocheng's head, answering his doubts.

Aya Xiaocheng frowned slightly, that is to say, these things can only be used by their contractors, and Hill they can't use them.

The blood vial couldn't save Ciel's life.

Clutching her abdomen, her face a little pale from the loss of blood, she heard their conversation and it looked like she was really going to die this time.

"Young man, accompany this girl well, alas, her time is running out, if you have anything you haven't said yet, just say it quickly, don't leave regrets." Uncle Sang sighed lightly and turned to leave, he just didn't say that I like you at the beginning, and he regrets it until today, he doesn't want to see people like him anymore.

Uncle Sang raised his head and looked at the mottled light that was shining slightly in the sky, and the sky was like a ray of light.

He seemed to see the familiar face in the sky smiling at him, Uncle Sang was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile, and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, I seem to have found the young man I was looking for, and in a short time, I... I'm here to accompany you. ”

Uncle Sang draped his shabby military coat over his shoulders and walked out of the place in the afterglow of the sun.

The cherry blossom tree, cut in half, leaned gently above the heads of the two people in front of them.

Cherry pink petals fell from the branches and landed on the boy's shoulders.

The girl snuggled into the arms of the young man, neither of them spoke, and a faint light shone from the sky to dispel the darkness around them.

In the end, the young man spoke softly, and his tone was as gentle as possible, but his personality made it, and he still asked in a very calm tone, "Ciel, why did you block that knife for me?" ”

Hill shook her head slightly, her purple hair was draped over her shoulders, and her big soft eyes stared at Aya Xiaocheng's eyes, she opened her small mouth and said, "Didn't I say it, I will risk my life for my companions." ”

Aya Xiaocheng's pupils widened slightly.

——————

It was a cool night.

Aya Xiaocheng, who was lying on Hill's lap, opened her eyes, looked at Hill's big eyes with light purple pupils, and asked, "Hill, can you sacrifice your life for your companions?" ”

Hill was stunned for a moment.

She lowered her head slightly, at this distance, both of them could feel each other's breath, and the soft purple hair with a hint of fragrance scattered on Aya Xiaocheng's face, it smelled very good, this is Aya Xiaocheng's feeling.

Hill smiled and tilted his head softly, "Well, of course. There was a hint of firmness in his tone.

——————

"Is it worth it? We've only known each other for a few days. Aya asked softly.

A smile appeared on Hill's pretty face, a little blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, and a poignant feeling arose, only to hear her smile and smile: "It's worth it, I, I enjoyed my time with my companions, it was my happiest day." ”

A tear trailed from the corner of Hill's eye, streaked across his cheek and dripping to the ground.

Hill has been alone since a long time ago, barely surviving by working as a waiter.

It's just that she is really stupid, she often breaks dishes, is scolded loudly by her boss, never feels the joy of being alive, and her eyes are always dull.

But.

Until I met Red Pupil, Mayin, and Boss...... These companions, she found that the thing she was gifted with was assassination, and lived with them, doing tasks together every day.

She felt that her world was bright, and her eyes finally yearned, and she wanted to live happily and happily with everyone.

The word companion means a lot to her, it is the light that pulls her up in the night, and she even puts her companion more important than her own life, and never allows her companion to die in front of her.

Even if it's in exchange for your own life.

"Aya Xiaocheng, can you carry me back to the night raid headquarters, I want to lie down there quietly." Hill said weakly.

"Hmm." Aya Xiaocheng nodded in agreement, then gently put her on his back, hooked her hands around the crook of her legs, and walked step by step in the direction of the night attack headquarters.

Hill was tightly attached to Aya Xiaocheng's back, Aya Xiaocheng could feel Ciel's breathing next to him, and the two quietly embarked on the journey home.

"Aya Xiaocheng."

"Huh!? I'm here. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to say good morning to you again."

"I know."

"I can't let your head rest on my lap in the future, so you can have a good rest."

"yes, I know."

"I won't be able to taste your food again."

"Hmm."

"It's a pity that I won't be able to see you get married in the future."

"This won't be available, you don't have to regret it."

"Really? Aya Xiaocheng, you have a cold face, if you don't change it, how can any girl like you in the future, ahem! ”

"No, it's good to be alone."

"It's not good, sometimes two people are together, and they won't be so lonely."

Aya Xiaocheng just wanted to say something, but finally swallowed the words in his mouth and said, "Well, I know. ”

……

"Aya Xiaocheng, can you turn your head?" Hill pressed his chin against Aya Kosei's shoulder and said weakly.

As soon as Aya Xiaocheng turned his head, he felt his lips being pressed against two soft things, and his eyes widened slightly.

Under the morning light.

The boy and the girl looked at each other, their lips touching slightly, and the sun shone on their bodies, as if they had been dressed in golden clothes, beautiful and dazzling.

Hill raised her head, tilted her head softly and smiled, her waist-length purple hair gently blowing in the breeze, and her big eyes with light purple pupils blinked, only to hear her smile lightly:

"Kissing is really comfortable."

"Aya Xiaocheng, you must live well, and you must live happily in the future, so that your bosom sister can rest assured..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ciel collapsed weakly on Aya Xiaocheng's back, with a quiet smile on his face, as if he had just fallen asleep.

It's just that.

Aya Xiaocheng understood.

She will never wake up again.

"The plan went well, this tool successfully shielded the unexpected attack, and I also got a rough idea of the opponent's strength and skills."

The hair on his forehead obscured Aya Xiaocheng's eyes, making it impossible to see his eyes clearly, and then he walked towards the Night Raid Headquarters with Hill on his back.
