The darkness stretched into the endless, and the dots of light clinged to the darkness like sparks, like countless fluorescent flickering in the night.

The blood-colored flower vine stretched out, tightly intertwining the two figures with a glimmer of light.

It was two slender bodies embracing each other, sleeping with their eyes closed, their identical faces revealing completely different looks—as if the sun and the night were together, the angels and demons were entangled.

Large expanses of blooming and withered blood-colored petals fluttered in the boundless darkness, scattered around the quiet and sleeping duo, and the whole picture ...... Faintly eerie.

Not far away, a halo of stars lingered softly in the air, floating slightly with light and shimmering colors...... The looming recumbent figure was behind the blurred wall of light...... It was as if one more light touch could break the last barrier......

After that...... What is it exactly......

A faint ethereal voice sighed softly...... Fascinating ......

After that...... What the hell will happen......

Although she was tired from the blood loss from her injuries, Sakurano woke up when the doctor on the cruise ship treated her wounds, and she quietly looked at the bandaged wound on her side of her waist with her empty and indifferent eyes.

"The ball grazed through the flesh on the outside of your waist, the blood has stopped, I bandaged you." The doctor stood up and avoided Sakurano's eyes a little evasively, "It's not particularly serious. It will be cured after half a month. Be careful not to pull on the wound vigorously. ”

"You...... Afraid of me. It's a declarative sentence. Sakura Nai looked at the doctor's somewhat stiff expression, and there was a void indifference in his eyes, "Why ......"

"I ...... I didn't ...... There is no ......" The corners of his mouth pulled far-fetched, and the doctor stammered slightly in denial, but he was actually too scared in his heart.

He was just one of the ordinary doctors who were assigned to the ship, he had nothing to do with the club organizers, and he had never participated in such an occasion, and after watching Sakura's game before, his mind was full of the bloody scene, how could he not be afraid of the girl in front of him......

"No, it's okay, I'll ...... first. Went first. ”

He dodged Sakurano's knife-like gaze, hurriedly picked up the medicine box and fled out of Sakurano's room, followed by the indifferent gaze that almost pierced him.

"Sakura?" When Echizen knocked on the door and walked in, what he saw was Sakurano lying on his back on the bed, his eyes clearly open and looking out the window at the setting light on the sea, and the whole person was wrapped in a faint glow, almost empty......

"Won't you take a break?"

Watching Echizen push the dining cart to his bedside, Sakurano glanced at it and turned her gaze out the window again, without saying a word, only shaking her head slightly.

"You...... Afraid of me? ”

After being silent for a long time, Echizen's ears came from her faint voice, so flat that there were no waves.

It's a familiar question...... Echizen looked at Sakurano's indifferent pale face at the moment, and was stunned for a long time before speaking.

"It's not so much that I'm afraid...... It's not so much curiosity. ”

He looked at Sakurano's eyes looking back, his voice softer with a hint of inquiry.

"Curious...... What exactly have you been through over the years? ”

Outside the window, a boundless sunset was gorgeous, and the light gold and crimson brilliance gilded the bodies of the two people in the room, illuminating the eyes of the two pairs looking at each other...... There was silence.

"I want to know too."

When the wind blew, Sakurano withdrew her eyes, her eyes slightly closed...... The past she was missing...... How exactly.

Without further words, the two of them stood and lay down, filled with a brief calm...... And after that, the wind and rain still did not stop, and the treacherous was unstoppable.

"What are you doing here?" Echizen opened the door and almost bumped into Samael, who was about to knock on the door, and he frowned as he looked at the man's innocent smile on his face.

"Of course, I'm here to comfort my beautiful princess!" Straightening out the bouquet of roses he was holding, Samael smiled brightly and beautifully, "She was injured today, and I feel so distressed!" ”

"She needs to rest." Closing the door of the room with his backhand, Echizen did not move his body in front of Samael.

"I challenged you today, why did you refuse?"

"Didn't I answer this question?" There was a hint of darkness in his blue eyes, and Samael's face smiled slightly, but he still looked at Echizen brightly, and his tone was the opposite of cold contempt.

"Now you don't deserve ......"

"Tsk...... You've ruined my good mood for visiting the princess......" Pursing the corners of his lips, Samael took a step back and turned his head into the open room.

"Sakura! Don't be late for the evening banquet! I'll wait for you! ”

After shouting, Samael turned away in a dashing manner, without giving Echizen another look, but if you look closely, there is a faint demon smiling at the edge of the curvature of his mouth...... Hideous and malicious......

The so-called evening banquet is a warm-up before the third day of the carnival in Yagawa Kouchu.

The players who were invited were left over from the previous two days.

At the same time, tomorrow's schedule and specific rules will be announced at the banquet.

When night fell, the sheng song on the cruise ship also rose, and the luxurious hall resounded with light dance music, and a shadow of clothes and temples.

In addition to the last players who were left behind, the wealthy people who had been hiding behind the scenes also came with them, gathering in twos and threes to talk.

Those who deliberately hide their identities can also watch from the side of the booth or wear a mask.

Sumptuous meals are laid out in the halls, and instead of waiters with drinks walking around serving guests.

And when Sakurano changed into the dress she had been sent to the room and came to the banquet hall, there were already many people gathered in the huge hall.

"Sakura?"

Sakurano was standing quietly in a corner of the hall, but there was a surprise cry from her side, and she turned around to meet the dazzling and beautiful smile.

"My beautiful princess, you are so beautiful!"

Sakura Nai is wearing a cherry pink semi-long gauze skirt, lining her indifferent temperament at the moment, pure and refined.

Samael's eyes were amazed, and he leaned closer to hold Sakura's hand and gave a slight kiss.

"Sakura, you've captured Samael's heart......"

"Looks like my vision is pretty good......"

Before Sakurano could speak, a slightly raised voice had already entered the body, and the two of them turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

Yagawa, who was dressed in a burgundy suit, took a glass of champagne from the plate held by the waiter and walked towards Sakurano.

"My honored guest, I'm sorry I didn't go to greet you personally."

Yagawa also took Sakurano's hand and kissed it gently, and his tone really seemed to be apologetic.

"This skirt is a gift. I hope you don't dislike it. ”

"I don't know you."

Pulling out the hand held by Yagawa, Sakurano's indifferent eyes swept across Yagawa's gaze glued to him, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

"It's okay, it's good that people know you. Anesidora……”

Yagawa licked his lips, and his voice was a little snooping obsession.

"You deserve to be our noble princess."

"I don't understand, what are you talking about."

Hearing Sakura's words without a trace of waves, Yagawa paused slightly, and only after a while turned around meaningfully, the corners of his lips chuckled.

"It doesn't matter. You just need to remember...... After tomorrow, no matter what...... Dear, we all welcome you unconditionally......"

"That'...... It's Mr. Yagawa...... The organizer of the 'Ghost Skeleton' ......"

Samael looked in the direction of Yagawa's departure, and turned back to Sakurano with a look of admiration.

"Sakura, you're really good enough to get his attention."

"You're interesting, you know."

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Sakurano threw a waveless and insightful gaze at him.

"You and he have the same color in their eyes."

Sakurano looked at Samael's smile but deepened in his eyes, and said word by word.

"If you're not mistaken...... You're a 'ghost skeleton' person, aren't you? ”

"It's boring, you know what."

The smile on Samael's face finally faded, and he watched Sakurano speak lightly, but his eyes were hazy and empty.

"Even if I can't remember, I seem to hate this breath from the bottom of my bones.

She looked at Samael's blood-stained blue eyes, which were as deep as ink.

"Rotten ...... Sinful ...... The smell of blood from hell. ”

"My princess, your words are so sad......"

The smile on Samael's face narrowed for a moment and then bloomed, dazzling and pure as an angel, and he looked deeply at Sakurano, his eyes full of blood-colored obsession.

"But it doesn't matter, you'll always come to us...... Because ......"

He turned away, a lover's whisper in Sakurano's ear.

"We have ...... The same filthy soul. ”

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the pre-carnival banquet."

The lights suddenly dimmed, and Yagawa's voice appeared on the dance floor in the center of the hall, and a high platform slowly rose, revealing his figure in front of everyone.

"Two days have passed, and we have selected the last eight strong players from 100 excellent players."

He raised his hand, and eight photographs were projected into the air. Sakurano, Echizen, Yamazawa and Samael are among them.

"Before the banquet begins, I would like to introduce the rules of tomorrow's event."

Yagawa snapped his fingers, and the photo of the eight people in the sky instantly changed to a leaderboard, with different numbers displayed next to each person's photo.

Samael and Sakurano occupy the first and third spots, respectively, while Echizen and Yamazawa are ranked fifth and seventh.

"As you can see, the rankings are based on the amount of bets placed on the eight players, from the highest to the lowest."

Yagawa looked at the rich people in the audience and continued to explain.

"You can continue to raise until the end of the game, and of course, the money from the eliminated players will flow back into our hosts' hands and back into the players who are still there."

With another wave of his hand, a schematic diagram of the game process appeared next to Yagawa.

"The rules of qualifying are that the two players in the seven or eight seats start the game, and the winner continues to challenge for the higher place until the strongest player is born."
