"You are trembling," as if seeing the shock and confusion on Atobe's face, the smile on the man's face became more and more exaggerated, and even the corner of his mouth unknowingly burst into a huge gap that no human being could tear apart. Radian, "Young master of the Atobe family, you really are useless——"

"I've seen you!" Atobe suppressed the urge in his heart to push the man away, and growled harshly, "What does your appearance here have to do with Kyogoku Rina?!"

"Yo, Kyogoku...Runa?" The man read the name slowly, as if savoring the taste of the words as they passed between his teeth and lips, "It's been a long time since the young master of the Atobe family used the name It’s really touching to call Miss Jingji Er in such an unfamiliar way.”

His name is Ruina "Second Miss Kyogoku", and Atobe quickly caught this information after a moment of confusion.There must be a eldest lady above the second lady, but for the current Kyogoku family, their serious "eldest lady" is already equivalent to a taboo name.

What is this man implying, Atobu suddenly had a flash of inspiration when thinking of this moment:

"You are not from the Kyogoku family, but you were never far away from Runa at that time, and the Kyogoku family would never use such a low-level thing as a 'bodyguard'..."

After a little hesitation, the word finally rushed out of Atobe's mouth.

"Are you a shikigami, Kyogoku Ryuna's shikigami?"

"I've finally taken a new look at the young master of the Atobe family." The strange smile still stayed on the man's face where the facial features could not be clearly seen, "But you are wrong, I am from the Kyogoku family. God formula."

He made a subtle emphasis on "Kyogoku", and this deliberate behavior further deepened the suspicion in Atobe's heart. Just as the boy was about to open his mouth and continue to say something, he found that Shikigami slowly moved a finger Pressing on his lips, he made a "silence" motion.

"Compared to my intention and powerlessness, the young master of the Atobe family seems to be...powerful but careless~"

Shikigami's pointed words immediately woke up Atobe: "What happened to Heather?"

"Pick up the dagger." The man's face once again showed that eerie and unnatural smile, and his voice was indeed an ordinary command tone, "First, pick up the dagger."

Although his heart became more and more anxious, Atobe still obeyed and bent down to pick up the dagger on the ground.The cold weapon was heavy in the hand, rough and cold to the touch, and Atobu instinctively pulled out the dagger, but immediately smelled a strong... a mixture of iron and blood.

"What's going on here!" Atobe's heart sank immediately, and even his tone became a lot worse.

But the always proud and conceited king of the Ice Empire didn't wait for any reply. The ghostly man was still looking at him with deep eyes, but at a certain moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand to Atobe.

Following the man's movements, Atobe felt a dry and warm breath hit his face. He closed his eyes almost reflexively, and then felt the skin around his eyes cool down, as if there was something A gritty liquid glides across his eyes.

When Atobe suddenly opened his eyes, the shikigami was already standing one meter away from him:

"If you want to save people, you must go deep into the unknown and stain your hands with blood. Maybe you will encounter danger, maybe you won't; maybe you want to kill people, maybe you just need to save people..."

"But whatever the process, if you can't do what you want in 5 minutes..."

"That person will die~"

Just like every person who will show up to help you inexplicably—or non-human—the spell that maintains the illusion of friendship has a time limit, leaving behind the true and false words and the long eyelids on the eyelids. After a cinnabar scratch, the shikigami who claimed to be from the "Kyogoku family" disappeared into the room with his usual weird smile.

Now there is only Keigo Atobe standing alone in the darkness, his mobile phone is still out of order, and he still holds a dagger stained with blood in his hand, and his eyes...

As soon as Atobe raised his eyes, he saw a little light emitting from another door a few meters away from him in front of him, but a few seconds ago, before Shikigami gave him the "Onmyoji Eye" , His eyes were nothing but pure darkness.

As if bewitched, Atobe walked towards the shimmering wooden door.After a moment of hesitation and listening, the Ministry made up his mind to open the door, only to find that what appeared in front of him was not another room, but a faintly glowing but extremely strange black film.

...This is, enchantment?

And what Shikigami means just now is that he must enter this enchantment in order to save Heather?

After taking a deep breath, Atobe regained his composure, and carefully poked at the barrier with the dagger handle.The black film looked extremely elastic, and it returned to its original shape immediately after Atobu withdrew his hand.

One of human instincts is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so Atobe naturally doesn't think he is an extraordinary saint, and even if he has a girlfriend who is proficient in yin and yang, he has never been exposed to similar things.What's more, what Shikigami said just now still echoed in his mind: If you want to save people, you must go deep into the unknown and stain your hands with blood.

He is not someone who has never seen blood. They played brutal scenes on the court in almost every game that looked like a murder scene—but competitive sports are competitive sports. They really hold weapons and kill things that are not even human beings. , even if it's just an imagination, it makes people feel cold all over.

But that shikigami also said something else, he had issued a countdown to the death notice, and also clearly informed the Atobe of the tragic consequences of overtime.Atobe doesn't know whether what he said is true or not, but even if there is only a [-]% possibility, he must not sit back and watch the most terrifying and tragic worst possibility.

He is Keigo Atobe, he should be tall and brilliant, fearless, followed by others... Naturally, he can also defend his followers, not to mention, the one who may be blocked by the enchantment right in front of his eyes. The girl who can't meet with his own eyes is indeed in his heart... a delicate place.

Thinking of this, Atobe finally brought unwavering determination, he took a steady step forward, and slashed the dagger.The sharp blade with the gloomy metallic luster was pressed on the film and quickly penetrated through the barrier.The black film seemed to be alive, as the blade penetrated from top to bottom, it shook rustlingly, and then, like a water curtain, it separated and shattered in an instant, and then fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace .

At the same time, a thick and pungent smell of blood came over his face. When Atobe looked up, the first thing he saw was a pile of dusty things lying in the middle of the house.Just when Atobe looked at it with a look of surprise, the gray thing seemed to be splashed with concentrated acid, corroded and gasified rapidly, accompanied by the sound of "hissing" and a kind of ** The stench that is inevitable when it rots.But after a second, all these disgusting changes were quickly over, and the gray thing evaporated as if it had never existed.At the same time, Atobe finally saw the place that was firmly blocked by the gray shadow before.

There is a person lying there!

It's Heather!

Shocked, Atobe immediately ran over, half-kneeling on the ground to help the girl who was lying on the ground.After finally straightening the girl's body and resting her head on his thigh, Atobe's heart sank heavily.

Heather was indeed injured, a trail of blood snaked out from her brown hair, leaving a glaring red mark on her face, her originally fair face turned into a terrifying expression at this moment. paper white.The contrast between the paleness and the bright red is so strong, and the face with almost no trace of anger makes Atobe fall into a great panic that has almost never been encountered at this moment!

"Heather! Heather Livia!"

Almost instinctively, Atobe began to shake Heather's body.The horror in his heart grew, and it only got worse when he found out that his phone still didn't work!After a brief thought, Heather was slowly laid flat on the ground, and then suddenly got up and ran out.

But at the same moment he was about to leave the room, he suddenly heard a slight, painful...cough.

"Heather?! Are you okay?! Can you hear me?!"

After noticing the sound behind her, she quickly returned to Heather. The latter still had her eyes tightly closed, but her eyeballs were moving. Although her expression looked painful, it wasn't that kind of stiff silence. up.Atobe, who was overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly helped Heather up again so that she was half leaning against him. This time, he finally took out his handkerchief from his pocket and carefully pressed it on Heather's head. on the wound.

After taking a few breaths violently, Heather finally opened her eyes with difficulty. Her eyes were briefly distracted, but those brown eyes quickly focused on Atobe, before the boy could say anything. One word, but Heather suddenly pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed.

Her face was still bloodstained, her expression was still sluggish, and even her smile was stiff and ugly because it was full of pain.

But seeing such a smile, Atobe felt a huge shock in his heart.Because along with this smile appeared on Heather's face, there was also a faint joy in her eyes that could be named as "expectation come true".

"...I knew...it was Jingwu who came to look for me..."

All the senses are infinitely magnified in an instant, Atobe seems to hear the roar of blood rushing past, as if he hears the pulsation of the heart beating violently - and the girl is obviously seriously injured, but still insists on showing a fearless aura Her appearance, together with her eyes and her smile, is like a sharp blade piercing through the air, whizzing towards it with a gust of wind, obviously it was swept away at the moment, but it cut an eternal piercing in the depths of his soul. gap.

The smell of blood, the dark room, the tragic calm after the danger, can't be worse than this environment, but the palm of the hand can feel the temperature of the person's body, the eyes can see the person's trusting gaze, and the heart can feel it. Feeling... that kind of throbbing that is weak but enough to last for a long time.

It couldn't be more obvious, it couldn't be stronger, it couldn't be more obvious.

For Keigo Atobe, this moment...

—No one is more important than Heather Livia.
