[Net King] Starlight is still

PM7:45

The sky gradually dimmed, and the soft orange color disappeared, replaced by dark tones like ink rendering.

After Shiraishi and I had dinner at a restaurant in Sakai City, we headed home.

Shiraishi was driving on a quiet road.The speed of riding a motorcycle is relatively slow, and the scenery along the way is like a three-dimensional picture scroll before my eyes.

"How soon can we go back?"

"Three or ten minutes."

The distance between Sakai City and Osaka is still very far.Because on the way here, I hugged Shiraishi with my eyes tightly closed, not noticing where we were going.

Only through a long road can we get home relatively quickly.

There are relatively few street lights around this road, so it is a bit dim.Shiraishi turned on the lights of the locomotive, and the feeling of depression was not so strong.

With almost no traffic passing by, the road was extremely quiet.Everything is so quiet except for the sound of the engine.

In this silent and gloomy scene, some scenes of horror movies flashed in my mind.

"Hiss—" Feeling a burst of cold air hit me, I gasped, folded my arms, and hugged Baishi's waist tightly, greedily sucking the warmth from his body.

Now, he is the only one I can rely on...

My head rested on his back, my chest heaved a few times, I closed my eyes, and stopped looking at the dark surroundings.

"Hey, Aya." Feeling the weight on his back, Shiraishi called me, and asked with a slight smile, "Are you afraid?"

I nodded, rolled my eyes, then shook my head again.I can't show my timidity in front of him.

"Oh," Baishi smiled softly, "It seems that you were frightened by the monster that night..."

Did he mean, that stormy night?

It was that day that my cowardly nature was clearly visible... At this time, I was so ashamed that I wanted to get into a crack in the ground.

Feeling ridiculed by Baishi, I curled my lips and said angrily, "How could that be?" I even pinched his waist as a punishment.

His waist is very strong, without any fat.

"Hmm... Ling." Baishi smiled dryly, and said, "Don't be like this, it's very itchy..."

Ah.I smiled secretly in my heart, enjoying the joy of making him surrender.

Suddenly, the sound of a locomotive engine gradually became louder, making it impossible for us to ignore its existence.

A beam of light hit my back, my eyes widened, and my heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, as if I had a very bad premonition.

I turned my head sideways and glanced from the corner of my eye. There were seven or eight locomotives at the same speed as Baishi, as if they were a group, following behind us.After walking for a while, they are still inseparable.

"Those people seem to be following us..." Baishi and I whispered, revealing a little worry.

"Oh? Then get rid of them." Shiraishi accelerated forward.However, those people also accelerated and caught up with us in no time.

I frowned, feeling that the situation was not good, "I'm definitely following us..."

However, before I could finish my words, those locomotives overtook us one after another at a very high speed, and they were not far in front of us, blocking the way.

Shiraishi had no choice but to slam on the brakes and calmly looked at these uninvited guests.

I turned my head and saw eight tall men dressed in black, with a cold expression on their faces.

They stepped off the locomotive and approached us slowly.

However, the man in the middle remained motionless, dressed in a different way, wearing a silver mask that covered half of his face.From the exposed nose and chin, one can tell that he is a young and handsome man.

This should be their leader...

Are these people gangsters?If it doesn't work out as I expect, our lives will be in danger.Unexpectedly, my going out with Shiraishi turned out to be so sad...

Suddenly, Shiraishi stepped off the motorcycle and gently held my hand.His fingertips are warm and powerful.

I raised my head and looked at his calm face.

"Aya, don't be afraid, I will protect you. You must stay here, don't go away, you understand?"

His exhorting words were like a warm current, sweeping through my heart.The feeling of worry gradually subsided, and I nodded slightly.

"Hit." With one command from the leading man, the seven men with thick backs surrounded him and attacked Baishi.

Baishi seemed to have undergone special training, and was extremely agile. While dodging their attacks, he even counterattacked, knocking them down easily.However, these people looked like professional fighters with great endurance. Although they were hit, they were able to stand up immediately.Therefore, even if Shiraishi's fighting skills are very superb, he still cannot win a quick battle.

Looking at the vigorous black figure of Baishi, I felt as if a huge boulder was hanging in my heart.

Standing in the distance, the leading man who silently watched the battle suddenly got out of the car and slowly walked into them who were fighting.

What is he going to do?Seeing this sudden move, my heart couldn't help tightening again.

Under the mask, a cold light flashed in the man's exposed eyes, he quickly drew a dagger from his waist, and stabbed at Baishi's back.

……

He wants to kill Baishi? !

My heartbeat seemed to stop at that moment...

My throat was blocked, and the pain of suffocation made me seem to return to that incident...

I experienced the pain that I will never experience again...

"don't want--"

The pupils suddenly dilated, and the soles of my feet seemed to step on the light, and I rushed into the crowd quickly, blocking Baishi's back desperately.

I don't know why I have such a fast speed and such courage.

My mind went blank, I watched helplessly as the sharp dagger stabbed at my chest...

I closed my eyes, ready for the heart-piercing pain that pierced my heart.

The man saw that I was desperate, and stopped his forward thrusts.

The sharp edge of the dagger was stuck in my chest.

My eyes widened in surprise. He didn't stab the dagger into my body. Could it be that he didn't want to hurt me?

"Aya!" Realizing that the situation was not good, Shiraishi turned around abruptly, unprecedented panic flashed in his amber eyes.

The man snorted coldly, clasped my shoulders with his strong palms, and then, with all his strength, pulled me in front of him.

Those thugs surrounded Baishi one after another, not giving him a chance to save me.

The man grabbed my shoulders tightly, making it difficult for me to escape.He is tall, and I feel oppressed by his condescending look.

I raised the knife in my hand and quickly slashed at his neck.

He seemed to be aware of my movements, and before the knife fell, he stretched out his right hand and clamped my hand firmly.His strength was so great that it seemed to crush my bones.

The man was expressionless, as if frozen in ice.He completely restrained my hands, but did not take any harmful actions to me.

My calm face reveals the bone-chilling cold, I pursed my lips and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." He said slowly, and his calm words made my tense nerves relax a little.

I have no reason not to believe it, because if he wanted to kill me, he shouldn't have stopped the dagger that was about to stab Baishi just because I blocked it.

"Then why did you kill him?" I raised my voice, and the flames in my eyes were ignited enough to start a prairie fire.

Since his target was me and he would not harm me, why did he assassinate Shiraishi with a dagger?Why did he kill an innocent person?

The man remained silent, let go of my shoulder with his left hand, slipped his fingers into the smooth hair, and attached his cold palm to the back of my head.

"Because he hinders me." With light words and gentle movements, he seemed to be a machine without a trace of emotion.

Suddenly, he tightened his fingers, and then took advantage of the trend and pulled hard.The rudeness of the action is completely different from the indifference just now.

"Hmm—" I felt the hair on the back of my head being torn off abruptly, and there was a tingling pain.

The man pushed me away without hesitation, and through the dim streetlight, he saw clearly between his fingers, where a few strands of long hair remained.

I staggered and fell to the ground.He raised his head, looked at the poker-like face with angry eyes, and his heart was full of hatred.

"Stop." The man commanded his subordinates solemnly, and then walked towards his locomotive without looking back.

They all stopped fighting, quickly stepped onto the locomotive, and walked away.

I gritted my teeth and looked sullenly at the backs of their Juechen leaving.

"Aya, are you okay!" An anxious voice sounded, it was Shiraishi.After those people stopped attacking, he ran towards me without delay.

"It's okay. You're not hurt..."

Before I could finish speaking, a pair of gentle hands lifted me up from the ground, and then quickly embraced me in their arms.

In the next second, I cling to Baishi's strong and warm chest, and my heart beats out of its original frequency again.

His chin rested on the top of my head, he clasped my shoulder tightly, and wrapped his arms around me, as if he wanted to rub me into his flesh and blood.

"Fool..." He murmured softly, his words were like erratic starlight, "So stupid...I don't even want my life..."

Is he talking about me blocking that dagger for him?

At that time, seeing the cold light reflected by the sharp blade, my mind went blank, and I rushed forward as if it was a conditioned reflex.I just don't want him to get hurt because of me, an insignificant person...

Baishi was breathing shallowly, and I could clearly feel his heaving chest and his strong heartbeat.

He was just like that, quietly, hugging me tightly.

"Hey, Kuranosuke..." Feeling almost suffocated, I wanted to leave his embrace, "It's...it's getting late, let's go."

Realizing his gaffe, Baishi smiled shyly, "Well, it's fine."

At this time, a gust of night wind blew by, bringing a burst of coolness.

It's so cold... I subconsciously hugged my arms tightly.Tiny goosebumps appeared on the white arms.

Seeing this, Shiraishi took off his coat and put it on carefully for me.

"Put it on and it won't be cold."

I raised my head and happened to meet his soft eyes.After taking off his coat, he wore a wide-shouldered vest, revealing his perfect figure, which was extremely enviable.

"Thank you." After I put on my clothes, I could still vaguely feel Shiraishi's remaining body temperature.

He and I got on the locomotive and quickly disappeared into the hazy night.
