Special Episode: The Shadow of the Impossible (Part II)

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xia Lu made a gesture to defeat Ye Zifeng, and this time he didn't mean to dodge. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"No matter how unwilling you are, I can't go, and even if I want to explain the specific situation, I don't think you will believe it, so you'd better let me follow you. Of course I will not restrict your freedom, but you will follow my orders when necessary. The indifference and leisure on Ye Zifeng's face disappeared without a trace, and even the smile that looked a little cheap disappeared from the corners of his mouth, "There will be a big event tonight, so don't go too far." And your shoes・・・・・・"

Ye Zifeng looked at the clogs on Xia Lu's feet and couldn't help frowning. Immediately took out his wallet from his pocket and looked through the banknotes inside.

"The event is still well funded, even if I apologize. Go buy a pair of sneakers that are a little more convenient. Ye Zifeng looked at the shopping mall on the street.

"Wait, wait!" Xia Lu immediately interrupted Ye Zifeng's words, and looked at Ye Zifeng with a kind of spiritual look, his eyes were full of incomprehension and disdain, "Why should I listen to you?" Who do you think you are? My dad? ”

"I really want to see Ling Zun when I have time, but time doesn't allow it now." Ye Zifeng shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression on his face, "Look at this, the action execution document." ”

Ye Zifeng took out a piece of A4 printer paper from his pocket and handed it to Xia Lu.

"Don't tear this one, you have to hand it back for the record when the time comes to return the task, if you tear it up for me, I'll be miserable." Ye Zifeng was a little hesitant when Xia Lu received the printing paper in his hand, and Ye Zifeng was afraid that Xia Lu would follow suit when he covered up the action at the airport yesterday, but fortunately, Xia Lu did not make such a move, and some suspiciously took the document in his hand and unfolded it, and looked at the content on it.

There is not much language on the document, but it only introduces the person who performs the action and the target to be carried out, as well as the time of the action and the approximate content of the action. The executor of the action is naturally Ye Zifeng, as long as Ye Zifeng is alone, Xia Lu is slightly concerned, but when she sees her name filled in on the target to be executed, Xia Lu can't help but be startled.

"Hey, I mean, what's going on? Why is my name on it? Xia Lu took the document and pointed to the "Camila Xia Lu" written on it, and asked Ye Zifeng.

"As you can see." Ye Zifeng probed his hand, "You are the target of my operation this time, the content of the action is protection, to be honest, this is the first time I have carried out a protection mission, so you better not stay too far away from me." ”

"Who wants you to protect?" Xia Lu pursed her lips and snorted heavily, "I advise you to leave quickly, it's okay if this kind of task is not carried out." ”

Xia Lu handed the document back to Ye Zifeng and hugged her hands in front of her chest.

"Since you have returned it to me, it means that you agreed to the contents of this document, and after both parties read the document, the document is not damaged, which is a sign of the start of the mission. I am the executive officer of this mission, and while I will not restrict your freedom, I will eliminate any factors that may interfere with the mission. Ye Zifeng folded the document a few times and then retracted it into the pocket of his jacket, "Come with me, go buy a pair of sneakers, and save me from carrying you when I run away." ”

"Stop! I've never heard of such a clause! Xia Lu said to Ye Zifeng dissatisfiedly, "Then you give me the document, and I'll tear it up now." ”

"It's late." Ye Zifeng snorted a little proudly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, this mission was issued by the Security Council, if either of the two sides of the mission fails to achieve the goal, even if the mission fails, it may be held responsible, and if it is a student at school, it may be deducted credits." You don't want to get a negative number until you get credits. ”

"・・・・・・" Xia Lu looked at Ye Zifeng with a murderous look, gritted her teeth, and her teeth rubbed against each other and made a gurgling sound, "Count you ruthless, okay, I'll follow you, but I have one condition." ”

"It's really troublesome, you say." Ye Zifeng pursed his lips.

"You're responsible for all the expenses tonight."

"That's the only one?"

"And it's not allowed to restrict my freedom."

"I've said this before, and I'll do it."

"Also, it's up to me to decide when I'm going to go back today."

"I'm ready to be with you until the last realization."

"Deal."

"Deal."

Xia Lu and Ye Zifeng clapped their hands.

"Let's go, buy shoes with me."

“・・・・・・”

Xia Lu didn't say anything more, but followed Ye Zifeng's footsteps and walked towards the shopping mall on the side of the pedestrian street.

When night falls, the parade of the county dance begins. Several fireworks flew into the sky from the pedestrian street, and the night sky above the pedestrian street lit up. Accompanied by cheerful music, the parade begins at one end of the pedestrian street. Pedestrians on the pedestrian street consciously split away from the side of the street and let out the central part of the way to facilitate the passage of the procession. There were also a lot of pedestrians who joined the parade, and the pedestrian street was in a state of joy for a while.

Ye Zifeng followed behind Xia Lu with a wry smile, holding an apple candy in his hand. This candy was bought by Xia Lu at a street stall with Ye Zifeng's money, on the grounds that Ye Zifeng, who was empty-handed, was out of place in the parade, and at least he had to pretend to be happy.

"Here, here, come here!" Xia Lu seemed to have forgotten her smoke to Ye Zifeng, and trotted up and down in front, turning around and waving to Ye Zifeng to signal Ye Zifeng to hurry up. Ye Zifeng thought about the previous guarantee, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart, although he didn't regret it, but giving Xia Lu too much freedom did make Ye Zifeng a little distressed. But there is no way, Ye Zifeng is not the kind of person who does not keep his promises, so he can only follow quickly. Seeing Ye Zifeng walking towards him, Xia Lu smiled slightly, then turned around and walked towards a stall on the side of the street.

Ye Zifeng turned his head to look at the signboard of the stall, the snack stalls everywhere on the pedestrian street should be selling food such as octopus balls or fried noodles. Ye Zifeng thought in his heart as he walked in the direction of Xia Lu, checked his pocket and patted his wallet, the funds in it were still sufficient, at least they would not shrink significantly because he bought two fried noodles. It seems that it doesn't hurt to have time to wander around like this.

The two stood side by side in front of the stall, Xia Lu looked at the name on the menu on the side and ordered two fried noodles. The boss behind the stall answered and the spatula in his hand turned quickly on the iron plate, and the noodles quickly turned golden brown, skillfully like a variety of seasonings and side dishes in the fried noodles, the boss looked at the fried noodles in front of him with a serious face, as if he was completing a major event to save mankind, maybe this is the reason why everyone values different things. Ye Zifeng glanced at the boss, calculated the price of two points of fried noodles, and then took out his wallet and grabbed the thousand-yuan bill in his hand.

"What kind of college is Newcott College, you say?" Suddenly there was a voice of questioning beside him, Ye Zifeng was stunned by this sudden question, and subconsciously looked to the side. Xia Lu was standing beside him, the distance was about ten centimeters, and the two were basically together. Ye Zifeng was a little surprised, was this the school girl who tried everything to drive herself away before? Not quite like that.

Xia Lu's face was written with a faint contemplation, although her eyes would think about the fried noodles on the iron plate, her pupils were dilated, her attention was obviously not hit, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her head.

"How so? According to the classification, Newcott College should be regarded as a private aristocratic university. Ye Zifeng thought for a while and gave the answer, "But I don't know what you want to ask, is it the level of education at Newcastle University or something else?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Lu shook her head. This is the fried noodles are ready, and the boss uses a plastic box to hold the fried noodles and hands them over. After taking the fried noodles, Ye Zifeng paid the money, and gradually moved away from the snack stall in the farewell words of the boss "Thank you for coming, welcome to come again". Lifting the lid of the plastic lunch box, Ye Zifeng picked up the noodles with chopsticks and sent them to his mouth, the taste is not bad, although it can't be called a delicious delicacy, but with such a craft, it seems that the boss will make a lot of money at the parade festival.

Xia Lu didn't open the fried noodles in her hand, but lowered her head and walked forward. He didn't respond to Ye Zifeng's question, he just took care of himself and looked at the ground.

"Let's put it this way, Newcastle College is a private aristocratic university with higher professional skills and undergraduate classes." Ye Zifeng looked at Xia Lu, who was speechless, and coughed lightly twice to attract Xia Lu's attention, "The University of Newcastle has existed half a century ago, but I remember that the University of Newcastle at that time was just a public college in decline, and it was about to be abandoned, but a rich man named Newcutt bought the building of this college and renovated it and began to accept students again. That's where Newcastle College comes from as I know it. As for what kind of college Newcourt College you asked, all I can say is that it feels like a second home. ”

"A second home?" Xia Lu was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look at Ye Zifeng beside her, when her eyes fell on Ye Zifeng's face, Xia Lu was surprised to find that the smile on Ye Zifeng's face disappeared, and she did not show seriousness, and the natural sinking of the corners of her mouth made it impossible to see what kind of mood Ye Zifeng had. Ye Zifeng looked up at the moon in the sky, and on the brightly lit pedestrian street, a crescent moon in the sky was still very conspicuous. Xia Lu also raised her head to look at the moon, and her heart suddenly became open, as if she had walked into the peach blossom paradise from a narrow gap.

"Well, yes, it's a second home." Ye Zifeng nodded, his eyes were full of tenderness, and when he looked at Xia Lu again, his eyes remained unchanged, and when the two looked at each other, Xia Lu's cheeks couldn't help but turn red, but he didn't feel disgust in his heart, and immediately turned his face to the side to cover himself, and Ye Zifeng didn't care about Xia Lu's small move, he took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, Ye Zifeng calmed down the feelings in his heart and then continued, "How to say it, Everyone in Newcastle College was very good to me, and no one came to me and said, 'Ye Zifeng, you idiot, this is not for you, it's better to hurry up and go home and call your mother'." Although my math was ridiculously bad, the professor didn't give up on me because of this, and although I knew that this might make the professor impatient, I was really touched by the professor's patience in answering my questions every time I asked them. ”

"Sounds like you're a good mix." Xia Lu whispered, "Then what major are you studying?" I heard that you are not an undergraduate student. ”

"Well, the college has a rule that prohibits first-year students from mentioning any topics related to Newcott College's junior colleges, and although you are my target of protection, you were a first-year student before that." Ye Zifeng said to Xia Lu very seriously, "I remember that you have only been in Newcastle Academy for a month. ”

"Twenty-eight days, to be exact." Xia Lu thought about it and then gave a number, and when she looked at Ye Zifeng again, that cheap smile climbed the corner of Ye Zifeng's mouth again, "But why, aren't there any first-year students among the junior college students?" ”

"Yes, but there has only been one person since Newcourt College was founded, and the rest of the junior college students have all transferred in their sophomore year." Ye Zifeng replied immediately.

"Oh, who, that sounds pretty good." Xia Lu sighed a little and said, "It can't be you, right?" ”

"That's me." Ye Zifeng gave an affirmative answer. Xia Lu was taken aback by Ye Zifeng's answer, and couldn't help but take a step aside. When he looked at Ye Zifeng, his eyes widened, and the words "I don't believe it" were obviously written on his face.

"Hey, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously." Xia Lu waved her hand at Ye Zifeng.

"Do you think I look like someone making such jokes?" Ye Zifeng sighed helplessly, "I said that I am me, and the people who have been in college since the beginning of Newcastle College are by your side." ”

"Really?" Xia Lu was still a little unconvinced, and asked Ye Zifeng tentatively.

"What are you lying to? Interesting? Ye Zifeng couldn't help but be a little angry, "This topic will end here, I'm afraid that you will talk about it in a while, and if the principal knows about me, I will be miserable." ”

"Uh-oh." Xia Lu really didn't ask any more, nodded sensibly, and then followed Ye Zifeng's side and opened the lid of the plastic lunch box in his hand.

The pedestrian street is still crowded with people, and about two hours later, the flow of people still does not show a trend of decline, but makes more and more people crowd the pedestrian street. Xia Lu, who has been trying various snack games, is still not tired, and after eating the previous fried noodles, she is still full of vitality, Ye Zifeng followed behind Xia Lu for fear that Xia Lu would run away, and stared at Xia Lu tightly.

There were too many pedestrians around, and Xia Lu was too excited, although she knew very few Japanese words, and she couldn't even recognize the Japanese kanji in Japanese, but adhering to the fearless creed of the ignorant, Xia Lu gradually forgot about Ye Zifeng behind her, and only cared about herself squeezing forward in the gap of the crowd.

"Hey, don't go that fast!" Ye Zifeng followed Xia Lu's figure in the crowd, but the pedestrians who squeezed between the two pushed the two of them farther and farther away. When Xia Lu found that she could no longer see Ye Zifeng's figure, the procession had already reached the middle of the pedestrian street.

An inexplicable panic pressed into Xia Lu's heart, and Xia Lu began to look around for Ye Zifeng's figure, but Ye Zifeng's figure had long been submerged in the sea of people, and no matter how Xia Lu looked, Ye Zifeng could no longer be seen.

"Isn't it・・・・・・" Xia Lu took two steps backwards behind her, and suddenly bumped into one thing after another. Turning around quickly, several young people wearing suddenly exaggerated casual jackets with dyed hair and earrings to the point of a cow's hair blocked Xia Lu's way. The disgust in his heart suddenly sang, and the words that he wanted to apologize were held back in his throat, Xia Lu's brows furrowed, and when he looked at the young man, his face couldn't help but sink. These young people looked like they were saying "I'm bad", and Xia Lu naturally stayed away from such an outfit. When he wanted to leave quickly, his arm was grabbed by the bad young man behind him, and he turned his head to look at the bad young man with a flirtatious expression, Xia Lu struggled twice, but the bad young man's hand held Xia Lu's arm tightly.

"Please let go, I'm leaving." Xia Lu said calmly, but soon several bad young people surrounded Xia Lu in the center, with a sinister smile on their faces.

"Hey, it's not you, didn't you even apologize after hitting me?" The delinquent youth led by him pulled Xia Lu to his side with a forceful pull, but Xia Lu took the opportunity to punch the delinquent young man's face. But this punch didn't hit, and the bad young man opened Xia Lu's hand with a light wave of his hand, and then wrapped his arms around Xia Lu's arm, making Xia Lu unable to move.

"That's not good, I won't be able to get married in the future." The delinquent youth laughed, and the movements of his hands began to be unrestricted. Xia Lu was taken aback and began to struggle in the arms of the bad youth.

"Does it work? It didn't work. The delinquent young man laughed a few times again and then waved his hand to his subordinates, "Let's go, there are too many people here, go to a clean place." ”

"You let go!" Xia Lu struggled violently to break free of one hand, pushed forward hard, and staggered back two steps before falling on his back.

"Hey, be careful." A person hugged Xia Lu in the back and supported Xia Lu's body, "I said don't run around, it's so troublesome to get lost, how should I explain if something happens to you?" ”

Ye Zifeng said to Xia Lu with a slightly reproachful tone, and at the same time let go of Xia Lu. Xia Lu immediately hid behind Ye Zifeng.

"Who are you, don't pretend to be a hero, get out of here!" The leader of the bad guy shouted at Ye Zifeng irritably, as if Xia Lu escaped from his arms, which made him unhappy for a while, and then another Ye Zifeng came in front of Xia Lu, which made the bad young man extremely irritable.

"I apologized to you for her before, but if you still pester her, I won't show mercy."

"Mercy?" The leader of the delinquent youth was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, and his subordinates also laughed back and forth, "Boy, you are very arrogant, then let me see how ruthless you are." ”

Gritting his teeth tightly, the leader of the bad youth rushed towards Ye Zifeng, his right hand clenched into his fist at his side.

Ye Zifeng didn't move, just quietly watched the leader's attack, with no intention of dodging or defending. Xia Lu was a little flustered, and couldn't help shaking Ye Zifeng's sleeves.

"Hey, you're not going to be scared silly, are you?" Xia Lu said nervously to Ye Zifeng.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Ye Zifeng's hand covered Xia Lu's hand pulling his sleeve and said softly.

The bad young man's waist twisted to the right, his left foot kicked the ground violently, and his body jumped up from the ground, and his fist swung out towards Ye Zifeng with great kinetic energy. Ye Zifeng didn't dodge, watching his fist keep approaching him. However, this punch did not hit Ye Zifeng's cheek, just ten centimeters away from Ye Zifeng, a hand suddenly stretched out, and he took the attack of this punch hard. The hand clenched the fist of the delinquent youth violently and then pulled and twisted, and the delinquent youth was like a doll and was pulled aside by the person who rushed out from the side and fell to the ground heavily.

"Classmate, are you alright?" Another person walked over, looked at Ye Zifeng and asked.

"It's okay, thank you." Ye Zifeng shook his head.

The man didn't say much, but nodded towards Ye Zifeng. The rest of the delinquent youths couldn't help but retreat when they saw this scene, and they didn't know who was the first to turn around and run away, and everyone scattered in a hurry, running in different directions as if they were running away.

"Let's go too." Ye Zifeng grabbed Xia Lu's hand and turned around and walked back, but Xia Lu didn't follow, but tightly grabbed Ye Zifeng's sleeve.

"Huh?" Ye Zifeng turned his head, but at this time, a strong wind flew past the tip of Ye Zifeng's nose, and a large dent immediately appeared on the ground on the side.

"Protect the sir!" The people who turned around and left before and the people who controlled the bad youth on the ground at the same time tightly protected Ye Zifeng in the center in order to come over.

"Leave me alone!" Ye Zifeng shouted, "Take Xia Lu back to the hotel, leave it to me here." ”

Ye Zifeng quickly dodged out from behind the two of them, and at the same time reached into the waist of one of them, pulled out a pistol, and quickly hid it in his arms, Ye Zifeng ran towards the opposite side of the pedestrian street. When I looked up in the direction where the bullets were coming, a figure quickly disappeared from the shadow of the fireworks above the roof of the opposite building.

"It can't be!" Ye Zifeng gritted his teeth tightly, kept pushing aside the crowd in the parade, and quickly got into the alley, how could this place be ・・・・・・

"Wait for me!" Ye Zifeng's train of thought was interrupted, and a voice came from behind Ye Zifeng, Ye Zifeng turned his head to look behind him, Xia Lu, who was still a yukata all his life, changed into the flat shoes he bought before and strode towards Ye Zifeng.

"Stupid! What are you doing here! Ye Zifeng shouted at Xia Lu, but at this moment, a chill came from behind Ye Zifeng. What kind of feeling is that, cold and cold, without a trace of vitality, full of killing intent through a gaze that Ye Zifeng feels vividly.

"Get down!" Ye Zifeng shouted and threw himself at Xia Lu, but before he could understand what was going on, Xia Lu was immediately thrown to the ground by Ye Zifeng, and at this time, a bullet flew over Ye Zifeng's back, startling Ye Zifeng in a cold sweat.

"I told you not to come along!" Ye Zifeng quickly pulled Xia Lu up from the ground and hid around the corner.

"What the hell is going on? Just this is, shooting? Xia Lu asked Ye Zifeng with some surprise.

"That's what happened, that's why I told you not to come." Ye Zifeng's probe looked outside, but another bullet hit the corner where Ye Zifeng was dodging, and the stone chips flew and saw Ye Zifeng's face, and the stones like fragments scraped a one-centimeter-long wound on Ye Zifeng's face.

"Do you want to call the police? There seems to be a gun on the other side. Xia Lu shrank in the corner and didn't dare to probe, and the words he said were also a little incoherent, Ye Zifeng shook his head lightly, and waved his hand to block Xia Lu behind him.

"It doesn't help if the police come, it's not their business." Ye Zifeng tried hard to hear the direction of the source of the other party's gunshot, but the other party seemed to use a device such as a silencer, and Ye Zifeng didn't even hear the gunshots that should have sounded, "Damn, do you only know about sneak attacks." ”

Ye Zifeng gritted his teeth, pulled out the previous pistol from his arms, pulled the sleeve and loaded it with a click.

"You just wait here and don't move, I'll come back and pick you up then." Ye Zifeng looked at Xia Lu behind him and admonished, and after thinking about it, Ye Zifeng added, "Also, don't call the police, it will become more troublesome when the police come." Do you understand? ”

"Uh-huh." Xia Lu nodded, looking at Ye Zifeng, who didn't know what he was thinking.

"Whew~" Ye Zifeng took a deep breath and was about to run out of the corner.

"Wait a minute!" Xia Lu quickly stopped Ye Zifeng.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zifeng turned his head to look at Xia Lu behind him, and asked with some puzzlement.

"That, I'm sorry before, I was so unfriendly to you・・・・・・" Xia Lu blushed and said this, "And ・・・・・・, you are a good person." ”

"Of course I do." Ye Zifeng nodded as if it was a matter of course.

"It's the first time I've seen such a cheeky person." Xia Lu pouted, "Anyway, you have to be careful, I'm going to go shopping with you later, didn't you say that your mission won't end until you return to the hotel, so it's going on now?" ”

"Of course I'll be back." Ye Zifeng easily heard Xia Lu's words, smiled at Xia Lu, and ran out of the corner. Another white light shot straight towards Ye Zifeng, but Ye Zifeng pounced forward and rolled on the ground to easily dodge this attack. Quickly stood up from the ground, and Ye Zifeng immediately ran in the direction of the source of the shot.

Looking at Ye Zifeng's disappearing figure, Xia Lu slid to the ground against the wall, looking at the fireworks of various colors that kept flashing in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, this academy is really abnormal, first of all, the course arrangement is different from other colleges, and secondly, every student here is like a genius, there is a feeling that no one is in his eyes, and he feels that he is a condensed wisdom, and everyone is an idiot except himself. Although everyone is very friendly, there are very few who can truly treat them as friends, and the kindness of others is like charity.

Thinking back to this student named Ye Zifeng, he seems to be the most special one, he doesn't have the kind of frame of other seniors, he treats himself at the same height, and he doesn't ask to come and go because he is a senior sister. Although this person is indeed quite annoying at times, once he gets serious, he is like a wild horse that has been unleashed, as long as the platform provided to him is wide enough, he is not afraid that he will not have talents and will not show them.

Something suddenly occurred to my mind, yesterday at noon at Chubu Centrair International Airport, when waiting for the shuttle bus at Chubu Centrair International Airport, Senior Sister Karenna mentioned to herself the Security Council and the missing junior trainees. There was no panic in her heart, Xia Lu quickly stood up from the ground, walked carefully to the corner, and looked out of the corner, there was no trace of a figure in the dark alley, and Ye Zifeng had disappeared. There was suddenly no finding in my heart, and at the same time, fear surged up like a tide to drown Xia Lu.

"It's not true・・・・・・ Xia Lu whispered, looking at the alley, he couldn't take care of his feelings anymore, Ye Zifeng must be in danger now, and he was going to find him. But what's the use of finding it, it's just adding to the chaos. But I'm still going, I'm going to bring him back.

Xia Lu made up her mind in her heart, always in front of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and she must rush to Ye Zifeng's side.

Along the way, Xia Lu looked at the bullet marks left by the bullet on the wall on the ground, and her heart was stunned, Xia Lu didn't dare to imagine what kind of result such a bullet would have after hitting her body, most of it was a blow and even embedded in the wall behind her. Xia Lu didn't know why she had such thoughts, but she felt that she should also share the danger that Ye Zifeng was facing, at least after handing back the document to Ye Zifeng, Xia Lu was ready to accompany Ye Zifeng to the end, although she didn't expect things to develop to this point, but even so, the firmness in Xia Lu's heart would not change.

The hem of the yukata was lifted slightly to avoid affecting the movement, and the exposed white stockings wrapped around a pair of slender legs, and despite the potholes on the ground, Xia Lu walked like a fly, running towards the depths of the alley. Eerie, when the deeper and deeper gloom completely swallowed Xia Lu, Xia Lu had no fear in her heart. Looking left and right, there is a visible notch in the right corner, and the left corner is intact, but there is a bullet on the wall. Xia Lu was a little surprised in her heart, how many bullets did this gunman have, judging from the power of the gun just now, the gunman should be using a sniper rifle, but as far as Xia Lu knew, because of the limitations of ammunition volume and shooting accuracy, each sniper rifle is equipped with a ten-round magazine as standard. This kind of knowledge should be called common sense, even if Xia Lu is not interested in this aspect, but living in this era of information explosion, she will know a little bit about what she hears and sees.

But this made Xia Lu even more worried about Ye Zifeng's safety, running all the way, there were no less than sixty bullet marks in the place where his gaze swept alone, and the gunman had to replace at least seven magazines to cause such a number of shots, but looking at the pistol in Ye Zifeng's hand, if it was advancing while exchanging fire, Ye Zifeng would not be able to support it for two minutes.

The pace under her feet became faster and faster, Xia Lu ran up in the alley, the wall next to her seemed to be flying backwards, and the unknown hidden in the darkness in front of her was gradually exposed to Xia Lu's eyes.

Suddenly, an unusual smell penetrated Xia Lu's nasal cavity, and a slight smell of gunpowder rushed from the front, and the sudden change made Xia Lu unable to adapt. Xia Lu coughed violently, and her originally fast pace immediately became messy, and after stumbling two steps, Xia Lu fell towards the wall on the side. Leaning against the wall to look at the body, Xia Lu looked up, black shadows loomed in the shore in front of him, the moonlight in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the figure ten meters away was holding a slender object in his hand, walking slowly towards Xia Lu.

"Oops." Xia Lu gritted her teeth and whispered, after looking left and right, Xia Lu quickly squatted behind several wooden boxes, and looked out from the gap in the wooden boxes, the black figure didn't seem to notice Xia Lu, and still walked in the direction of Xia Lu.

"Liar." Xia Lu leaned against the wall behind her, her body curled up, her face buried tightly between her knees, not daring to raise her head. This person is here, so it means that Ye Zifeng will not have been killed. This thought startled Xia Lu, and she shook her head vigorously to shake the idea away. It's impossible, it's impossible, Ye Zifeng is so powerful, it's impossible. Xia Lu kept comforting herself, and looked up into the alley again, Xia Lu's gaze crossed the gap in the wooden box and fell into the alley. Empty.

"What・・・・・・" Xia Lu was taken aback, and immediately stood up from the back of the wooden box and looked into the alley, there was indeed no human figure, as if the black figure did not exist just now, it was already very close to Xia Lu before, but why? How did he disappear? An inexplicable fear came to her heart, as if she was entangled in her body, and Xia Lu felt that her body was like falling into an ice cave, and it was extremely cold.

Quickly walked out from behind the wooden box, Xia Lu quickly ran to the place where the figure was just now, there was really no trace left, the smell of footprints and the sound. Looking to both sides, there is no intersection here, which means that the figure can only walk towards him or return the same way, but there should be no reason to return the same way, even if he finds himself, he should know that he can't beat him. But just now, the figure really didn't pass by her side, and Xia Lu saw it very true.

But can you believe what you see, hear, and ask? It seems that it can't, and at this time, only what is felt is the most accurate. Xia Lu closed her eyes and felt every move of the grass and trees around her. Suddenly, a cold and cold wind stabbed straight from behind Xia Lu towards the position of the back of the heart, almost subconsciously, Xia Lu ran a step forward, and the sound of the whirring wind behind him sounded. Xia Lu quickly turned around, and the figure that disappeared before was standing behind him, shrouded in darkness under the black cloak, and he couldn't see the true face of this person.

Fear crept up on Xia Lu's backbone, and she couldn't help but panic in her heart, and she was a little overwhelmed. Faced with this ghost-like shadow, Xia Lu didn't know what to do, did she shout? But it doesn't look like there's going to be anyone here to save me. Is it a surrender? Xia Lu couldn't do such a move.

Forcibly smoothing out the tremor in his heart, Xia Lu straightened his body in front of the figure, staring closely at the figure's every move, confronting Xia Lu head-on would not let the figure disappear from his field of vision again. The figure didn't seem to be leaving, the slender thing in his hand slowly lifted up, and the sound of clicking and clicking sounded, Xia Lu had heard this sound, and the sound of the sniper rifle spinning and pulling the gun as if it were loaded. couldn't help but take a step back, and Xia Lu's heart sank.

"It's not a good thing to have outsiders to stir up the situation, the target is ready to be cleared, and the rest of the people continue to pursue Ye Zifeng." The figure in front of him didn't know who was thinking, and his fingers were pinched in his throat. After finishing speaking, he held the handle of the rifle with his right hand, "It's not good for you here, we shouldn't know each other, that's good, at least you won't come to me for revenge in the future." ”

――What is this person talking about? Why can I get revenge on you if I was killed?

This question immediately popped up in Xia Lu's heart, but in the face of the black hole pointed at his chest, Xia Lu didn't have time to think about it. The students who were killed just a month after the start of school are probably not only Newcastle Academy, but also on this earth. What the hell is this? Terrorist attack or premeditated assassination? If you die like this, is your life going to end here?

Xia Lu slowly closed her eyes, the speed of the sniper rifle bullet reached 800 meters per second, and there was only a distance of five meters between the two, and it only took a maximum of one hundred and sixty seconds for the bullet to shoot into her eyebrows, such a time, it was impossible to dodge.

"Hey! His name is Brown! The moment the figure pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand, a shout came from behind Xia Lu. Before Xia Lu could turn around and look at the familiar voice of the owner, the bullet that was fired at him suddenly cracked a centimeter in his chest, and the jelly-like object began to liquefy the moment it touched the air, and the transparent liquid spread onto Xia Lu's body and penetrated the yukata. Xia Lu suddenly felt the skin on her chest shrink suddenly, and it became difficult to breathe, and then her brain began to faint, and the scene in front of her gradually blurred.

――Is this what happens when you are hit by a bullet?

Xia Lu thought in a daze, and at the same time, her body turned away one after another.

――Like, goodbye Ye Zifeng・・・・・・

His body lost his strength, and his legs went limped and fell to the ground beside him. However, Xia Lu did not arrive on the ground, and at the moment of falling to the ground, an arm wrapped Xia Lu in his arms.

"Huh?" Xia Lu was puzzled, and her eyes became dim, but the figure in front of her showed a familiar feeling. A slight smile hung on the corner of Xia Lu's mouth, and he raised his hand to look at the figure who had changed him in his arms, but it was no longer good, his body had no strength, and his arms and bodies could no longer move forward at all, even if he tried hard, he could only stiffen in front of him in the air, and he began to slowly decline. However, the figure picked up one hand and held Xia Lu's hand, and the warm big hand was thin but powerful. The stone in Xia Lu's heart fell, and her eyes slowly closed.

"After that・・・・・・ will ・・・・・・ handed over to you・・・・・・ Ye Zifeng・・・・・・" Xia Lu said intermittently, and finally the last trace of strength in his body disappeared, and his body softened into Ye Zifeng's arms.

"Hmm." Ye Zifeng nodded, and smiled at Xia Lu who had fainted. Gently put Xia Lu on the ground on the side, Ye Zifeng slowly got up, raised the pistol in his hand, and slowly pointed the muzzle at the figure five meters away in front of him.

"It's game over, you're out of bullets." Ye Zifeng smiled and looked at Brown in front of him, tilting his head, "But you are really ruthless, you dare to shoot a girl." ”

"No way, outsiders are messing with it, but you should thank her." Brown smiled wryly, took off the sniper rifle in his hand and tossed it aside, "You guessed it, I don't have any bullets." But I'm curious, everyone else won't be solved by you, right? ”

"Hmm." Ye Zifeng did not deny or hide it, nodded lightly and affirmed Brown's question, "You are the only one left, I have been chasing me so hard, I am lucky to meet you." ”

"That's good, you've won again." Brown lifted the hood of his gilly suit, revealing a fair and handsome face, "Shoot, this is not the first time I've been knocked out by a tranquilizer." ”

"I'd love to shoot, but I have a question for you before I shoot." Ye Zifeng did not pull the trigger, but pressed down the muzzle of the pistol, and finally received it into the holster on his side.

"What's the problem?" Brown was a little puzzled, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Ye Zifeng with curiosity in his eyes.

"I saw a figure underneath the fireworks, basically hanging in the air." Ye Zifeng hung his two hands in front of his chest and made a simple analogy, "I haven't figured out how to do this?" Was it a jump or a helicopter? ”

"None of us jumped that high, and we didn't use helicopters." Brown was a little puzzled, looking at Ye Zifeng's eyes, he saw the same thinking and puzzlement, it seemed that Ye Zifeng was not lying, he did see the shadow, "Maybe it's a hallucination, or a trompe l'oeil, after all, there were fireworks and explosions in the sky at that time, or I don't know how to say that the shadows of the trees on the street were mistaken for human figures?" ”

"Impossible." Ye Zifeng replied quickly, and his tone was extremely affirmative. This move startled Brown, although he wanted to complain that this was Ye Zifeng's delusion, but looking at Ye Zifeng's determined gaze, Brown also felt that this time things were indeed a little extraordinary.

"I was indeed a human figure at the time, not to mention the angle of incidence of the shot at me, just rolling in the air was definitely not a tree shadow."

"How is it possible that someone is shooting at you in the crowd?" Brown was visibly startled, and his brow furrowed.

"And it's live ammunition." Ye Zifeng's voice sank, and a silver cold light flashed in his eyes. Silence fell into the dark alley, and the two looked at each other in silence, neither of whom opened their mouths to take up the topic.

It took about ten seconds for Brown to speak, his voice sounding a little harsh.

"Why, say that?"

"Because the warhead did not crack, it was a lead-core kinetic energy bomb, and I felt the suffocation sensation of the bullet flying past the tip of my nose." Ye Zifeng couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart when he thought about it, swallowed his saliva, and his Adam's apple slid up and down, "At that time, someone wanted to kill me." ”

"Yes・・・・・・" Brown pondered, "I'll report this truthfully, and there should be no problem on your side, right?" Let the principal know that there is no problem? ”

"I don't care about your report, but I don't think I should write it." Ye Zifeng shrugged, "This matter doesn't seem so simple, but it doesn't have anything to do with 'them'." ”

"'They'?" Brown was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while who the "they" in Ye Zifeng's mouth were. But in the next second, a word crossed his mind, and Brown seemed to have been hit in the chest with a hammer, his eyes widened and his pupils contracted violently.

"Impossible, right?" Brown said in a bit of a distraction, "'They' aren't already ・・・・・・."

"It's not gone." Ye Zifeng shook his head, with a hint of solemnity written on his calm face, "They are just, temporarily back in the dark." ”

・・・・・・

・・・

"Hmm~"

When Xia Lu woke up, her body was already lying on the big bed in the hotel, and the bright sun shone in from the window and sprinkled on Xia Lu's face. Raising his hand to cover his eyes, he sat up from the bed with his arm propped up. I looked at the side of the bed, and the kimono I had worn neatly was neatly folded there, and my handbag was stacked on top of the kimono.

"Huh?" Xia Lu had a hint of foreboding in her heart, and looked at her body, a thin layer of pure white cotton** wrapped in her chest, and her slender arms and waist were all exposed to the air.

"Ah, you're awake." When Xia Lu was embarrassed, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Zifeng walked in from outside the room, leading a plastic bag marked with the "seven-eleven" trademark into the dining room on the side, "It's good to wake up, if you don't wake up, I'll call the school doctor here to give you an injection." ”

"Why are you here?" Xia Lu asked vigilantly, and at the same time picked up the quilt on the side and wrapped it around her body, covering herself tightly, "And who took off my clothes?" ”

"There are a lot of questions, let's come one by one." Ye Zifeng took out the lunch box in the plastic bag and put it on the table, and then took out the oolong tea drink and the black plum rice ball, "As for why I'm here, it's very simple, the task has not been completed, and I have to send you back to the hotel." ”

"Isn't this just a hotel?"

"You're not going to be stupid, I'm talking about a hot spring inn, of course." Ye Zifeng's angry voice came out of the restaurant, and then turned into a whisper to himself, "Is the effect of the anesthetic too strong?" Or is it that the sniper rifle bullet has a large amount of anesthetic? ”

"What anesthetic?" Xia Lu was a little strange, and thought about it for a while, but the pain like a real electric shock suddenly flashed in her brain. Xia Lu exclaimed, thinking about the pillow and falling down, "No, I remember that I was hit in the chest by a bullet・・・・・・ I won't die now・・・・・・"

"・・・・・・" Ye Zifeng poked his head out of the dining room to look at Xia Lu who was lying on the bed, and didn't know what to say, sighing with a helpless expression on his face, "I'm still alive, you just talked to me, do you say you're dead or alive?" ”

"But why? Wouldn't I die after a bullet hit my chest? Xia Lu sat up from the bed again, looked down at her chest, not to mention the gun marks, not even the slightest crack on the **.

"Of course I won't die, who do you think I am?" Ye Zifeng snorted, "Although I want to tell you very much, but I just talked on the phone, and the teacher asked me to keep it a secret, which means that you won't know until your sophomore year why you didn't die after the shooting." ”

"It's an anesthetic." Xia Lu thought back to what Ye Zifeng said just now, and guessed the answer at once, "There is anesthetic in the bullet, although I don't know why the bullet didn't hit me, but the anesthetic did splash on me." I'm right. ”

There was silence in the ・・・・・・ restaurant.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as a default." Xia Lu shouted towards the restaurant.

"Don't tell the teacher・・・・・・ Ye Zifeng walked out of the cafeteria with a bitter face, and made his butt on the chair next to him, "If the teacher knows, I will probably be useless・・・・・・"

"Hmph." The expression on Xia Lu's face was obviously ill-willed, "A handle, although it is not worth it after being shot." Let's talk, our second question. ”

"You said this dress, I asked the hostess of the hotel to take it off for you, of course you fell to the ground and it was dirty, so I sent him downstairs to the dry cleaner to dry clean."

"Are you sure?" The expression on Xia Lu's face clearly expressed the suspicion in his heart, "Don't lie to me, tell the truth." ”

"That's the truth, I didn't lie to you." Ye Zifeng looked at Xia Lu with some wrongedness, "That's the case, you have to believe it, and you have to believe it if you don't believe it." ”

"Humph!" Xia Lu glanced at Ye Zifeng and twisted her face to the side, her cheeks slightly red, "This time, I'll believe you for the time being." ”

"Thank you for raising your hand." Ye Zifeng responded lazily.

"Can you move, do you want me to feed you breakfast?" Ye Zifeng stood up from his chair.

"You underestimate me!" Xia Lu shouted, and quickly bounced up from the bed, and the quilt that was originally wrapped around her body slid down from her skin. Ye Zifeng looked at Xia Lu standing on the bed and picked the corners of his mouth, but Xia Lu froze directly in place. After the two of them were in a stalemate like this for a few seconds, Xia Lu's cheeks quickly turned red, and she raised a foot and kicked Ye Zifeng's nose hard.

"You a**, give me death!"
