The Crucifixion Cross

It is this that makes Kyoko feel the most emotion.

She is merciless to her enemies, and will immediately kill any bad signs, but she is completely different to her friends.

Even if 'Elf' might be her enemy, Su Fang was unwilling to hurt her even the slightest bit, and even specially drew up a 'recruitment plan'... It can be said that Su Fang was really benevolent to that little girl.

It's a pity that Su Fang's tenderness is divided into objects. She is willing to tolerate 'Elf' unconditionally, but Joker and Ethan... Unfortunately, Su Fang's tolerance for them has a limit.

Her Majesty the willful and gentle Queen... Kyoko thinks this title is quite accurate.

Well, now, as Her Majesty's knight and Syndicat's strongest 'Alpha', it's time for her to act...

Starting the ignition, shifting the gear, stepping on the clutch, Xingzi's movements are as smooth and natural as flowing clouds and flowing water. The roar of the car engine gradually sounds. In this quiet night, it is like the low roar of a fierce beast, with a bit of frightening coolness.

Kyoko closed her eyes, took a deep breath——

When those purple eyes, which were as beautiful as light crystals, opened again, in the deepest part of the pupils, the green fluorescence was burning like a flame...

Target LeBlanc...the action is on!

……

The atmosphere in the coffee shop was tense.

Everyone has realized how terrifying the forces behind Syndicat are, and the fact that [-]% of their own side is being monitored, but...

No clue!

Even Ethan Hunter, a super agent who has gone all over the world and made countless great achievements. , At this time, I also fell into a dilemma of not knowing what to do.

To go or to stay... No matter which one you choose, it seems to be a dead end?

To stay here is to sit and wait for death, but to take the initiative to attack may hit the muzzle of the gun head-on...

"Damn—!"

Ethan beat the beams of the coffee shop bitterly, making a dull sound.

"Calm down, Ethan, venting here has nothing but attenuation of your physical and mental strength," the calm voice comforted, "Although I also think we have to make a choice quickly, but..."

"I personally suggest staying behind." Xiao pushed her glasses, and she finally regained her composure and finally she was able to calm down and think. "We are not locals, and we are not familiar with this city. After all, I live around LeBlanc." For more than a month, it's always better to stay at home than to run around without thinking, right?"

After a pause, Xiao took a deep breath and continued:

"Furthermore, this is an urban area after all. Even if the Mishima Consortium is really standing behind the opponent, they probably wouldn't directly start a war in the urban area, would they?"

"Well, I think what this little girl said is quite reasonable," the unreliable voice agreed, "Ethan, what do you think?"

"It's not a good idea to stay behind and fight in battle." Ethan pursed his lips, and retorted, "I don't think the other party is a nice gentleman who cares about the safety of the citizens, since they rushed to fight you directly next to Baiyu's house. , it means that they either don't care about other people's safety, or they have already made perfect preparations... In my opinion, it is better to leave here before they take action-don't forget, Jidong is Mishima's home field!"

leave here……

Xiao Xiao, who was forced to leave his hometown, felt a little pain from this sensitive word, and asked involuntarily:

"And after that?"

"After that?" Ethan let out a heavy breath, "I'll talk about the things after that, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, there will always be a way..."

Ethan stopped in the middle of speaking, and Akatsuki suddenly got excited—the two turned their heads to the door of the coffee shop with a very high synchronization rate.

At this moment, an unreliable voice also screamed:

"Ethan! I detected a heat source here! It's going at...what the hell speed?!"

Ethan and Akatsuki didn't hear the words after the word 'detection', because as early as the moment they turned their heads away, the sudden burst of roar deprived them of their hearing.

The heavy and bursting sound was like the roar of a giant dragon, which made the two people's hearts tremble uncontrollably—it was their natural fear of the existence of high positions!

In the next instant, the silver front of the car with gorgeous gold trim broke through the door of the coffee shop with a clear sound of glass shattering, and drove directly into the coffee shop with the momentum as if it was about to crush everything? !

The lights flickered, the smoke filled the air, and the wooden furniture near the gate had turned into a mess of wooden blocks. The boss was proud of the 'full sense of the times' layout, and it was reimbursed for most of it...

The light falling on the shards of glass adorned the dimly lit hall after the lights disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the car door opened, and a frivolous female voice came to the ears of the two:

"The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge? Hmm... There is a saying in Shenzhou, but it doesn't seem to be so suitable for you now?"

She smiled and said, at the same time raised her right hand lightly, and pointed her palm at the two who had obviously not recovered from the sudden collision:

"When the boat reaches the bridge... it should have sunk! What do you think?"

Saying so, the blonde female detective lightly made a mouth shape——

—— bang~

In the next instant, the dazzling green light completely engulfed the vision of the two of them.

Chapter 76. Asuna's Melancholy

The time is the first Sunday in April.

The weather is sunny and sunny, and after the chill of winter dissipates, warm spring is permeating every corner of the city.

Most of the young girls on the street took off their thick winter clothes, and put on their favorite beautiful little skirts—some of them are especially not afraid of the cold, and even directly took out miniskirts and deep Vs like 'eye killers',' 'Emotional Breaker'.

The big white legs and deep ravines, which are not common in early spring, seem to have become a symbol of some kind of power, firmly attracting the attention of men on the street, and even making many people ignore the value of appearance and temperament. Addition, one by one turned into a certain cream, chanting 'Power! Give me more power! '(laugh

For Asuna, this situation is actually something she is happy to see.

After all, a young girl with a beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament like Asuna will definitely attract the attention of most men on the street in normal times. For those eyes that are more or less obscene, Asuna instinctively feel disgusted.

And in this ambiguous season when the weather is getting warmer, those women who did not hesitate to use their "killer cards" in order to attract men's attention successfully shared the men's attention, so that Asuna finally got rid of her disgusting gaze.

Asuna, who was still wearing a long winter trench coat, buried her delicate chin in a long scarf, lowered her head, and walked quickly through the increasingly crowded streets.

Asuna doesn't really dislike the feeling of touching shoulders and rubbing hands with strangers, but she definitely can't say how much she likes it, but she can barely bear it.

Because of this, she seldom goes out for shopping, except when she is with him...

Every time I go out with him on the street, Asuna is in a very happy mood, even if it is a crowded crowd, it can't hinder her good mood, because before she feels uncomfortable, the gentle boy will walk on the road while smiling. Before moving forward, flexibly use your own physical advantages to leave a small world that only belongs to two people in the crowded crowd.

Every time she saw him brazenly dashing left and right in the crowd without grace, she would lower her head shyly, looking very embarrassed.

However, after each embarrassment, there was always some inexplicable joy and sweetness in those maroon eyes that quietly looked at his back...

Memories of the past are so sweet and beautiful, but it is also because of this that when I think about it now, I can feel the bitterness of loneliness more and more...

Looking at the empty left side of her body, Asuna bit her lip lightly, a distressing blankness flashed in her eyes.

She tightened the beige trench coat he gave her on her 15th birthday, and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

The terminus of this trip - Sixuan Tea House is no more lively than Shibuya and Ginza. This street named after four tea houses including Shigaraki, Kakuya, and Tanakaya (don't ask me which one is the fourth) The cultural and artistic atmosphere is also more suitable for living.

A month ago, Asuna had never come to this street that revealed a sense of the times everywhere, but now she has been able to turn every corner with ease, taking the fastest route that is least likely to attract others' attention towards her real goal Land—the coffee shop called LeBalnc.

Gently pulling the doorbell, after a few crisp 'ding bell~' sounds, a familiar yet unfamiliar girl's face appeared in Asuna's eyes.

The reason why I say 'familiar' is because that delicate girl's face belongs to Asuna's companion, a girl named Takamaki Anko.

I feel 'strange' because that face is full of depression and helplessness that Asuna has never seen before.

Asuna was the latest to join this small group, so she didn't know what the rest of the team had experienced before she joined, but at least, she had never seen Xing so depressed...

"Asuna is here..."

Xing's voice was very deep, and she couldn't hear the usual vitality at all.

"Ah."

Asuna nodded slightly, took off the beige windbreaker casually, and put it gracefully on her arms.

Her dress was as dignified and plain as ever, under the beige windbreaker, it was not the clothes that only existed in the obscene imagination of some passers-by, but a dark turtleneck sweater.

For Asuna, whose aesthetics is deeply influenced by someone, this kind of dress, which is completely different from the fashionable and beautiful peers, has already become a part of her life, even if the relationship between the two has not returned to the innocent and beautiful time before , she does not intend to turn herself into a so-called 'fashion hottie'.

Sometimes Asuna would laugh at herself because of her stubbornness, but after laughing, she would still maintain the living habits she developed after getting to know him, never changing...

In normal times, Xing would definitely tease Asuna narrowly because of this ladylike action, but now she no longer has such a nature, and after a casual 'oh', she led Asuna towards several People's 'secret base' to go.

While walking towards the stairs, Asuna looked at the scenery of the coffee shop from the corner of her eye - when she found that a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the front counter, Asuna sighed softly:

"Boss, you're not in the store..."

"Well," said Xing, who was walking in front, without looking back: "The boss hasn't come back for a long time, and it's the same today..."

"Haven't heard any news about Akatsuki?"

"No..." Xing shook her head, her tone was bitter, "I heard that the boss has started to use the relationship I have accumulated before, but... I still can't find any reliable news, it seems that the person 'Lai Qixiao' has already died It's like it evaporated!"

"'Shenyin' is just a folk legend after all, so it can't be taken seriously," Asuna gently put her slender right hand on Xing's shoulder, and comforted her: "Xiao is our team leader and the most responsible person in our team. She won't just disappear without saying a word..."

"Of course I know that Akatsuki won't disappear without saying a word, but..." Xing took a deep breath, "But, it's been seven days! It's been seven days since Akatsuki disappeared! Hey, Asuna, tell me Me, if you were Akatsuki, would you disappear for seven days without any reason like this?!"

"No," Asuna pursed her lips, "So I think there must be some reason for this..."

Before Asuna finished speaking, Xing suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked straight at Asuna who was standing still:

"So, it really is Bai Yu Su Fang, right?"

"..."

Asuna didn't reply, but responded to Xing's suspicion with silence.

However, Xing seemed to be pressed by some switch, and started talking endlessly:

"Do you remember what happened the night before Akatsuki disappeared? No, I shouldn't have used interrogative sentences. Asuna, you must remember what happened that day, because just before the celebration banquet ended, we decided to go find it ourselves. The truth about Bai Yu Su Fang—use your own eyes to confirm what kind of person your 'childhood sweetheart', Bai Yu Su Fang is!"

"..."

Regarding Xing's intentional accentuation of the word 'childhood sweetheart', Asuna remained silent.

"As a team, the Phantom Thieves naturally have to advance and retreat together, but we all know how responsible Akatsuki is as the team leader. After Zhen Zhen has repeatedly emphasized the danger of Bai Yu Su Fang, it is impossible for Akatsuki to Lead us to go deep into the enemy camp and fight against the enemy in an unfamiliar environment! In order to avoid the worst situation, Asuna, you must not know what actions Akatsuki will take?"

Asuna remained silent.

She couldn't admit or deny Xing's conjecture, because she realized the worst situation earlier than everyone else...

However, she still didn't react at all, and what Xing wanted to say next was exactly the cruel fact that Asuna, who was childhood sweetheart with Su Fang, didn't want to face anyway...

"That night, Xiao went to find Bai Yu Sufang alone, and then disappeared strangely. He disappeared for a whole week. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't find any clues about Xiao... In this case, I Can it be said that Bai Yu Su Fang did something to Xiao?"

Xing's voice was very soft, but there seemed to be flames burning silently in her eyes:

"Hey, Asuna, tell me, did Sufang Baiyu make Akatsuki disappear for a whole week for no reason?"

"I……"

Asuna bit her lip, her slender body trembling slightly.

She seemed to want to refute something and argue something, but until the end, what overflowed from those pale lips was only this pale and powerless 'I'...

Hualing’s words: The Mid-Autumn Festival gift I ordered for myself on the 20th (Tongmeng ex’s Red Lotus Knight Beast X Antibody) hasn’t arrived today... Yunda’s cheating courier, could it be that I want to turn my Mid-Autumn Festival gift into a National Day gift ? !But the gift I prepared for myself on the National Day is obviously Iron Man of Yumo Road!

Chapter 77. The cat that fueled the flames

Just as Xing said, it has been a full week since the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Heart, Akatsuki Laishi, code-named Joker, disappeared strangely.

The first to discover the anomaly was Ryuji, who had always held the title of 'idiot'. The reason was so simple that it made people speechless: Akatsuki, who always cared about the physical and mental health of the members, would complain about eating at the celebration banquet at Ryuji. After being too comfortable and accidentally eating a bad stomach, how about still keeping a mysterious silence?

However, it was this simple reason that made people speechless, which became the direct reason why Ryuji went to LeBlanc again the next day with a growling stomach.

According to him, "Although the LeBlanc that morning still looked the same as the LeBlanc, it was not quite like the LeBlanc in his memory", and the real owner of the coffee shop, Sakura Sojiro, also came back from the "daughter's house". I had the same feeling as Ryuji—although the tables and chairs were arranged exactly the same as the 'original', both of them felt that this LeBlanc seemed to have lost something important...

Ryuji, whose expressive ability is not satisfactory, can't say one, two, three (Dongxiang one, two, three:—huh?), but Ryuji, who has always had no expectations for his own IQ, has no intention of wasting brain cells any longer. He quickly turned his attention to other places—why isn't Akatsuki in the coffee shop?

At that time, Sojiro Sakura curled his lips in disdain, and said angrily that he thought everyone was late and absent from school all day like you?That girl must have gone to school long ago.

What Sakura Sojiro said is of course very reasonable, but it is rare for Ryuji not to follow blindly, but to be stubborn. He dragged Sakura Sojiro, who was worried that Akatsuki's privacy would be exposed, to the storage room on the second floor, pushed away Opened the door of Akatsuki's bedroom.

This push really caused problems, because the two soon discovered that Xiao's bed was not only messy, but also looked untidy at first glance, her school uniforms were still hanging on the hangers, and the bedside table was also dirty. There are many small pendants and jewelry for girls.

After seeing this scene, Sakura Sojiro frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

And after working endlessly for a long time, the two finally realized the truth - Lai Qixiao was missing!

What is even more troublesome is that this disappearance lasted for a whole week, and it is still increasing...

Not only Lai Qixiao, but even Morgana disappeared together!

During this period, it's not that Sakura Sojiro didn't think about calling the police, but Akatsuki's identity as a "punishment observer" is too sensitive, and Sakura Sojiro also vaguely realized that this small group is not as ordinary as it seems , if one is not careful, the rest of Xiao's life will be finished.

The concern for Akatsuki made Sakura Sojiro have to be careful, and he could only turn to his acquaintances before "returning to the mountains and forests". After realizing the seriousness of the matter, the Phantom Thieves also broke the long-standing precepts and began to actively use their abilities Forcing social trash who may know Akatsuki's whereabouts to tell the information.

however……

Although the group has resorted to all means, Akatsuki's whereabouts are still a mystery.
