I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

Wailing darkness.

It makes people tremble.

Endless crisis.

It's confusing.

The screams even shattered the glass in the corridor.

Strange air movements indicate that an irresistible presence is nearby.

The young man in black robe standing at the entrance of the spiral staircase looked a little confused.

To go or not to go is a difficult decision.

If he went, it would mean saving a girl who was kind of his friend and risking his own life, regardless of the pain that the two girls who loved him might suffer from losing him.

If you don't go, you can return home safely and continue your warm daily life.

“Maybe he’ll die.”

"You used to be able to face this kind of life-and-death crisis without any scruples, but now you have to carefully consider whether it's worth it."

"And the two of them are waiting for you at home."

"If you die, they will be very sad."

"Heartbroken, maybe."

The faint voice echoed in the darkness, like a reminder from another self to this self.

From here on, if the boy gives up all attempts to save others, he may just spend a long, ordinary day.

But after he took that step forward.

The ordinary daily life, which was already fragile and only connected by a broken thread, finally fell into the deep sea and will never come back.

......

A faint flame burst out from the lighter.

Seems so fragile in this dark and bloody world.

Even though it drew a strange symbol and formed a powerful lotus-shaped flame shield, it became increasingly fragile under the attack of countless wooden thorns and hair.

The flames from the external object made the already low-grade magic even weaker.

When did this insignificant magic become a solid shield to separate oneself from death?

"brush!!"

A sharp wooden splinter pierced through the mottled flames and pierced into his right shoulder.

A horrible hole formed beneath the clothes.

The backward force made the boy take a step back, but his determined eyes showed no fluctuation, as if he felt no pain at all.

He walked forward towards the helpless girl who was crying and reaching out to him.

......

Is this the sorrow of the weak?

I can only rely on willpower to make a dying struggle.

Why did I become a waste with only mortal strength and supreme fighting skills?

Fighting skills are useless in this attack that has no blind spots!

Maybe it’s because I lost everything, even a big piece of flesh in my heart was peeled off, so I lost all my strength.

Just like that sword.

It shattered in his hands, as if it no longer trusted him, and died in disappointment.

"boom!!"

The flame lotus began to tremble, flickering.

The black sharp claws tore a hole in it.

A lot of black hair came in, cheering with joy, wanting to give the injured boy the final blow.

But the latter suddenly raised his left hand.

"Crack!"

The faint flame bloomed again, like a lamp giving people hope to survive in this endless darkness.

With a strong squeeze of his clean left hand, the lighter shattered.

The broken lighter casing cut my palm and caused bleeding.

Bright blood dripped down.

At the same time, the flames of the Flame Lotus Shield and the lighter came to an abrupt end.

The blood-dark church seemed to have instantly sunk into an abyss, making it hard to breathe.

"don't want!!"

The black-haired girl who was slumped there was shouting desperately, as if begging for mercy.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

Hong Zhen grinned and pounced towards the young man who had no protection from the fire.

Hair and splinters roared at him.

The blood mist was torn apart.

When the boy was about to be torn to pieces.

It was as if there was some kind of existence taking care of him, or as if he was taking care of himself.

The last spark of the dying flame fell on the bloody left hand.

"Sew——!"

Fear of the cold.

A faint flame appeared on the left hand.

Swaying.

It was like a fire fueled by the blood above that was growing more and more fierce.

【φλ?γa】

The whisper blew in all directions like a stream of hot air, pushing away everything: darkness, blood, broken flesh, black hair, wooden thorns, and red chastity.

Hong Zhen flew backwards, and the pain from the burning flames made her wail. She looked at the cold yet handsome face shining in the flames in disbelief.

That is......

What a calm and gentle expression. It seems so indifferent, yet it makes people feel warm.

The young man holding the flame in his left hand raised his hand high.

The fiery red flames squirmed like elves, forming coils of flame that expanded outward to separate their owner and the crying girl from all the evil in the world.

"Let's go."

The boy gave a helpless smile and touched the helpless girl's head.

It was like a god comforting the desperate people who prayed to him.

The girl looked at him blankly.

The crystal black eyes under the flames fiercely portrayed the handsome face in front of them.

Amid the endless cold and dark blood, she finally felt safe and was able to stand up.

She held the hand that the boy extended to her, and fled from the basement amid Hong Zhen's unwilling roar.

......

"Mulin-kun!"

In a remote road corner late at night.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the boy who was sitting against the wall with concern.

There was a splinter stuck in his right shoulder, his left hand was burnt, and there were cuts of varying sizes all over his body.

He was sweating and breathing rapidly, and didn't look well.

"I'll call an ambulance!"

"...No, don't scream."

If the Shinomiya family found out that someone was taken away by ambulance near the mansion where they had the accident, Mu Lin would be exposed to the sight of the big chaebols and those mysterious people.

This is absolutely not possible.

But the girl in front of him obviously didn't understand this.

"why?"

"hiss......"

Ignoring Xuexia's obstruction, Mu Lin gritted his teeth and stood up.

"I didn't expect that this little injury could stump me now."

Seeing that Mu Lin was standing unsteadily, Yukinoshita half-hugged him so that he could stand steadily.

"This injury needs urgent treatment. You will die if you lose too much blood!"

"This place is very close to your home. Do you have a medical kit at home?"

"Yes! But it's just basic medical supplies!"

"It's okay, help me go to your house."

"......it is good."

Yukinoshita gritted her teeth and walked forward step by step, supporting Mu Lin.

Along the way, Mu Lin rolled up his clothes to prevent blood from falling to the ground and attracting other people's attention.

......

It is already a stretch for the fire produced by external objects to achieve this level.

After arriving at the clean and safe room in the high-end apartment Yukinoshita, Mu Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Call your mother."

With Yukinoshita Yukino feeling uneasy, Mu Lin left these words and fell asleep.

The girl was as anxious as a grasshopper on hot pot. When she hurriedly called her mother, she couldn't explain the whole situation clearly.

In the end, the other party was smart enough to say before hanging up the phone: "I'll come to your place right away."

After putting down the phone, Yukinoshita Yukino hurried to Mu Lin with a medical box and untied his clothes that were stiff with dried blood.

After seeing his unbearable wounds, she shed tears.

"How can it be so serious..."

There were dozens of deep and long cuts on both hands. The left hand was burnt beyond recognition. The hole through the right shoulder was 2cm in diameter and deep enough to penetrate half of the shoulder!

There were also cuts of varying sizes on his face, chest, abdomen, legs, feet, etc.

"That fire shield should have blocked a lot of attacks."

"You managed to walk here despite being so badly injured!"

"Why didn't you call an ambulance?"

“What an idiot!!”

Yukinoshita Yukino cried and complained towards the boy's peaceful sleeping face, and then used her not-so-professional medical knowledge to help him treat his wounds.

She ignored the splinter in her right shoulder; it was beyond her ability to deal with.

She first helped Mu Lin treat the burn on his left hand to avoid disfigurement, and then disinfected and bandaged the cuts on his body one by one.

All this cost her several rolls of gauze.

There was red water accumulated on the white floor tiles, which was dripping from the blood that was wiped off the body with clean gauze dipped in water.

Even Yukinoshita Yukino herself, who was treating the wound, had Mu Lin's blood on her hands and face.

The amount of bleeding has reached the point of shock and impending death.

"Don't die, you must not die!"

After a long and tireless process of helping him treat his wounds.

Yukinoshita Yukino was finally awakened by the urgent doorbell, and she ran over to open the door.

He looked at his mother like a savior and cried, "Mother, he saved me, please save him!"

The helpless snow-like girl showed a look of panic.

She was afraid that her mother, who hated Mu Lin, would not help her.

But the other party did not answer. Instead, he frowned and walked into the room with one of his men to look at the unconscious boy.

"Take him back to the main house! Quickly!"

A command made the men behind him act quickly.

......

At around 1 o'clock in the evening, a black luxury sedan was speeding on the highway.

He even ran through red lights.

Fortunately, there were not many cars at that time, otherwise an accident might have happened.

Just as anxious as the car itself is the condition inside.

Xue's mother, who had some medical knowledge, carefully checked the boy's injuries and rebandaged some wounds that were incorrectly bandaged.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Yukinoshita Yukino apologized.

"Well, so don't be complacent anymore. In addition to school stuff, there are many other things you need to focus on learning."

After stabilizing Mu Lin's injuries, Xue's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes."

"But it's a good thing you treated his wound in time, otherwise he would really die."

"it's all my fault."

“There’s no point in admitting mistakes after the fact.”

Yuki's mother criticized, causing Yukinoshita Yukino to lower her head in shame.

The former gently stroked the right shoulder with the wooden splinter stuck in it and asked in doubt, "How did he get hurt?"

"He was injured by Sadako. She seemed to have super powers and drove many wooden thorns and long hair to attack him. In order to save me, he even risked his own life... Please believe me, I am not lying!"

"kindness."

The overly outrageous explanation made Xue's mother frown slightly, but she did not disbelieve it.

Anxiety turned to calmness, and all that was left was to return home.

Under the yellow light from the roof lamp, the silvery kimono emitted a dim halo, and its owner's eyes softened a lot as he looked at the unconscious boy.

After thinking for a long time, Xue's mother suddenly said, "He saved you."

"kindness."

"Maybe we can save our Yukinoshita family in the future."

"Eh?"

......

The main house under the snow.

Only after the family's professional medical staff treated Mu Lin's injuries did Xue's mother and Xue Noi breathe a sigh of relief.

But after a while, something happened that made them anxious.

"Master! Second Miss! The patient is seriously anemic, but his blood is a little strange, and there is no blood type that matches his in the blood bank!"

"Then go to the hospital for me!" Xue's mother said seriously.

"No... The main reason is that his blood type is not A, B, AB, O or even Rh! None of them! So we dare not give blood to the patient, not even type O blood!"

"How could this happen?" Yukinoshita Yukino exclaimed.

Mother Xue also looked anxious and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"No...don't know."

"Are there no other ways to save him, no matter what means?"

Xue Mu's cold words made the doctor tremble all over.

The latter had no answer and could only lower his head and remain silent.

In the end, he still had to take responsibility and tell the two people in front of him the result.

"The patient is suffering from severe ischemia. It's a miracle that he can hold on until now, but I'm afraid that in a while..."

Before the doctor could finish his words that made the two girls despair.

A nurse suddenly rushed out of the infirmary.

"Doctor! He's awake!! He's awake!!"

"what?!"

The doctor's eyes widened as if he had heard a fairy tale and he rushed to the infirmary.

And Yuki's mother and Yukino followed closely.

……

In the spacious, ice-white home clinic.

The young man sitting on the hospital bed was shouting instinctively as if he was sleepwalking: "Food! Quick, give me food! I'm going to starve! If you don't give me food, I'm going to starve!!"

In a hurry, the boy spoke in his native dialect.

For a moment, the Japanese present were a little confused.

However, Xue's mother, who could speak Chinese, frowned and thought for a long time before she understood his strange Chinese, and asked her men to quickly bring all the edible food.

As everyone stared in amazement, the wounded young man wolfed down a pile of food like a starving ghost, and his stomach did not swell like a pocket from another dimension.

After eating, he fell headfirst onto the bed and fell asleep.

That satisfied, silly sleeping face... a little cute?

"Doctor..."

The nurse beside the bed clearly saw that the wounds on the boy's body were slowly healing.

The healing process was not fast, and no movement was noticed upon closer inspection. But after a while, the wound where the flesh was missing had obviously grown a lot of flesh.

What was most shocking was the bloody hole on the shoulder.

There was a swirling circle of blood flowing back madly, and then flesh formed to fill the gap above!

"This this!!"

The doctors, nurses and others were so shocked that they were speechless.

And Yukinoshita Yukino breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Mu Lin was finally okay.

Mother Xue quickly recovered from her shock and said calmly, "You must not tell anyone about what happened tonight. Remember this! This boy has never been to our infirmary! Do you understand?!"

Seeing that the doctor and the nurse were still in a daze, Xue's mother raised her voice.

"Did you understand?!"

The cold and powerful tone made them come back to their senses, and they nodded and said, "Yes! I understand!"

"You should know the consequences of not understanding."

"I know, I know!" the doctor and the nurse said with sweat.

Then, Mother Xue looked at the girl beside her and said, "Xue No, follow me."

"but......"

Yukinoshita Yukino is like the lifesaver in front of her.

The emotions that flashed across the bright eyes illuminated by the white light surprised Xue's mother.

She said gently, "It's okay. It won't be too late for you to come and look after him later."

"......it is good."

......

In a closed family office.

Yuki's mother asked Yukinoshita Yukino about the whole incident.

It was just a cursory question in the car, but Xue's mother, who was always rigorous in her work, now wanted to know more details.

After listening to Yukinoshita Yukino's more detailed and comprehensive description.

Mother Xue nodded and said, "Go and accompany him. Remember to get a full body check-up. Also, you are too tense. Relax and have a good rest, otherwise you will faint."

"Okay, thank you, mother." Yukinoshita Yukino bowed respectfully.

"kindness."

There was only one person left in the office.

The mature woman, wearing a silver kimono stained with a few bloodstains, looked tired under the light of the office lamp.

There was still a hint of worry in his expression.

"Where is Yang Noi again?"
