[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

With the lessons of the Winter Cup, Akashi is as cautious as ever in his actions.It's just that he will no longer underestimate the strength of his opponents, whether it's basketball or daily life, after that game, he puts himself in front of the starting line again and learns from scratch, which can not only make up for his own shortcomings , and can lay a good foundation for his future.

"There just happen to be two wooden knives here, take them."

Masao Nakamura threw the two wooden knives he had picked up to the two of them, while he walked aside to take care of Saya's injuries. During this period, he did not forget to observe the surrounding situation, in case someone came out to make trouble midway and put Akashi in danger .

"Ready? Young master, let me declare in advance that I will not hold back this time."

Holding the wooden knife, Morito assumed an attacking posture. He found that the boy in front of him was different from Saya. Akashi had more physical strength and was not injured. Therefore, he would not take advantage of the two fighting.

"Before you finish talking nonsense, I'm ready, please make a move." Akashi responded calmly, focusing all his attention, keeping his eyes on the opponent's movements, waiting for the opponent to attack first.

When the fire spread, a duel was about to begin in the open area on the first floor of the warehouse.Morito took the lead in attacking, slashing straight at the opponent's right shoulder with the first knife, and the person being attacked didn't stay in a daze, and blocked Morito's first blow with his first hand, then took a step back to stabilize his figure, Maintain the previous defensive state.

Attacking, resisting, and going back and forth several times, Morito deliberately slowed down his movements, trying to lure Akashi to attack, but his intentions were all seen through. Akashi not only was not fooled, but also strengthened his defense, and did not show any flaws to him.

This kid is really hard to beat, Morito muttered to himself.Holding the wooden knife, he tried to speed up the attack. Although he failed to hit every move, he found that Akashi's actions were changing. At first, he was defending, but later he gradually turned from defense to offense. This process was very slow. Without his careful observation, it would be difficult to notice it at all.

However, he was still one step too late. He didn't expect the transition between defense and offense to be so fast, almost within two seconds.After fighting with him, Akashi has seen clearly the rules of his movements and moves. After blocking his blow, Akashi immediately launched a counterattack, and the fast swing of the knife just hit his left shoulder. The force was very heavy. The knife in his hand was almost knocked out.

"How? I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

There was no complacent look on Akashi's face, he just slowly approached Morito with a wooden knife, "If you think it's not enough, I can hit you until you are satisfied."

As soon as the words fell, the duel started again. This time Akashi did not continue to observe, but took the initiative to attack, and directly attacked Morito's face with a swift and violent attack.Several times, Morito barely blocked it, or hurriedly dodged aside. Over time, Morito's actions were suppressed by Akashi, unable to counterattack, and could only blindly defend.

But no matter how hard he defended, he couldn't prevent Akashi's onslaught. Before he could think of a way to deal with his opponent, the goddess of victory had left Morito. He tried hard to reverse the defeat, but Akashi cleverly avoided his blow. Turning around quickly, he swung the knife towards his abdomen, and the intense pain immediately made him fall to the ground. "

"Very good...young master, you really didn't hold back just now, you hit me really hard."

Green out of blue, better than blue, wandering in the gray area for many years, Morito finally fought a match with a satisfactory opponent.The irony is that that opponent is still a high school student who has not yet left society, but in terms of scheming, Akashi is definitely much more powerful than those adults. He can be sure that the future Akashi family will have this newborn demon king to succeed him, plus With the fangs of the Hashimoto family, no one in the mall has become their opponent.

"You have already lost, tell me the location of the exit!" Akashi dropped the wooden knife in his hand, and grabbed Morito's collar with his hands instead, "If this delays Saya's condition, you don't want to leave alive."

"Young master, don't show such a scary expression, I also have credit, since I lost, I will tell you another way out." Morito did not ask Akashi to loosen his collar, but lifted his Pointing to the small room not far away that was not engulfed by the flames, "The exit you are looking for is right there. It is an underground passage that can lead to the outside of the warehouse. The old fox also slipped away from there. If you don't believe me, I can take you You go and see."

The fire continued to intensify, and the people who were choked by the thick smoke burst into tears, and their throats became stinging. In order to leave here as soon as possible, Akashi decided to go to the small room with Morito to see what happened, hoping to find the escape route.

"I assure you, that passage is safe. When the police rushed in, we had already..."

Bringing Akashi to the empty small room, when Morito opened the iron sliding door on the ground, the breath of despair also came. This is not a safe passage, it is completely a deep pit full of sea water .

"This is your credit? It's so low that you can't laugh."

The only way out disappeared, and Akashi's anger was out of control. If he had known that the bandit leader was also the target of being silenced, he would not have lingered with him for so long.It seemed that he had to rely on himself at the critical moment. He believed that there was no unparalleled road, and his and Saya's lives would never end here.

"I'm sorry, I'm also one of the victims. It's really stupid to think that the old fox will save me a way out."

The dead old Hu Li really didn't even leave a way out!Morito cursed secretly in his heart, although he didn't want to admit that he was in the hands of the old fox, but the facts have proved to him that the chess piece has lost its use value, and the only thing waiting for him is death.

"Then you stay here, I won't accompany you." Akashi returned to Saya, and found that she had become delirious due to inhalation of thick smoke, he called softly: "Saya, hold on, I will take you away immediately .”

"Hey, young master, are you not dizzy? That road has been blocked by the sea, and we have no way out. You don't want to commit suicide with your lover in your arms." , As soon as he said it, he received terrible gazes from Akashi and Masao Nakamura, as if if he dared to say one more word, the consequences would be disastrous.

"If you have time to care about others, take care of yourself first, uncle."

Akashi hugged Saya horizontally, and quickly ran towards the stairs on the second floor. The fire there was not strong, and there was a small path leading to the small platform on the second floor.Outside, the police had subdued most of the guards and were busy mobilizing manpower to put out the fire. The inside of the warehouse was filled with thick smoke. When Akashi and the others ran to the small platform on the second floor, a new way out appeared in front of them.

The endless sea?Following Akashi to the small platform facing the sea on the second floor, Morito finally understood Akashi's intentions. Since the way out he knew was blocked, he had to find a way elsewhere, and the waterway was a good choice.

"Young master, your idea is really good, at least I don't have to stay here and wait to die."

There is a distance from the shore here, and Morito roughly estimated the time in his heart. It would take 10 to [-] minutes to swim to the nearest coast to get into the water from here. Compared with turning into a roast pig, the survival rate of going into the sea is obvious. Much taller.

Morito's worries were not superfluous. As soon as the group of them came to the small platform on the second floor, there were constant explosions in the warehouse. The power of the explosion even made the platform they were standing on feel shaky.If this continues, the shock wave of the explosion will reach here sooner or later, and no one will be able to escape by then.

"Seijuro... you go, leave me alone..."

The fresh air outside made Saya regain consciousness in a short time. She saw her lightly tugging on Akashi's skirt, begging him to let go of her burden and not to lose his life for her, but her request was sternly rejected by Akashi.

"No, I said that if you don't come back, I will come to you in person. Have you forgotten what I said?"

Feeling that Saya's body temperature was getting lower and lower, and his face and lips were turning white, Akashi felt that he should not continue talking nonsense here, but should leave here as soon as possible.

"Master, I've already called someone to come over to the sea area to respond. The medical helicopter has also set off and will arrive soon. We should go."

In a critical moment, Masao Nakamura called his men on standby on the shore through his mobile phone. As long as a boat came to help, even if they jumped into the icy sea, they could escape early, but this was only limited to the uninjured. According to Saya, if the weak body that lost blood is soaked in the cold sea water, her injury will be aggravated, and even the strength to sustain it will disappear. Are they really going to take this risk?

Jumping, there is still a glimmer of life, not jumping, waiting to be roasted to death or the impact of the explosion* and, under such a helpless choice, Akashi decisively chose the former.However, before he acted, he lowered his head, kissed Saya's cold lips lightly, and asked softly, "Saya, do you believe me?"

Saya nodded weakly.

"Then stick with me for 5 minutes, as long as we get through this level, we will be out of danger."

Akashi signaled Saya in his arms to take a deep breath with him, and Masao Nakamura and Morito beside him followed suit, inhaling enough oxygen before entering the water.When the explosion in the warehouse became louder and closer, Akashi jumped forward with Saya in his arms, and was the first to fall into the sea. Then Masao Nakamura and Morito also jumped down, avoiding the aftermath of the explosion in time .

Just as Masao Nakamura expected, Saya was attacked by low temperature not long after entering the sea, and her only physical strength was exhausted. If Akashi hadn't supported her body in the water, she would have sunk into the sea.

"Saya, hold on, the boat is coming, you have to hold on!"

Akashi tried his best to lift Saya's body to the surface of the water, and Masao Nakamura also swam over to help. Seeing this, Morito wanted to return the favor, but unexpectedly there was the sound of speedboat motors in the distance, and several speedboats were flying Came towards them at an extremely fast speed.In order to avoid being caught by the police if his revenge fails, Morito finally left quietly. Before leaving, he did not forget to make his promise to Akashi.

"Young master, we will have an indefinite future, and I will definitely pay back what I owe you. You can just wait and read the news headlines in newspapers and the Internet with peace of mind."
