Acting as a sword, forced to "fall in the dark".

Tanizaki Junichiro woke up, and before he opened his eyes, he felt a faint pain from the back of his head. He seemed to be able to touch a small lump when he stretched out his hand, which also made his brain dizzy and unable to turn around.But as soon as his sanity returned, he suddenly remembered everything that happened before he fell into a coma, "——Naomi!"

"It's really touching. Is the first thing you think of when you wake up is your sister?" The man's voice came from the roof of this sealed room, where a speaker was placed.

Hearing this voice, Tanizaki Junichiro frowned subconsciously, he looked at the position of the speaker, "Where is my sister! What did you do to her?!"

"Don't worry, Junichiro-kun." The man accurately said Tanizaki Junichiro's name, "Your sister is safe now, if you don't believe me, turn on the TV in front of you."

Tanizaki Junichiro glanced around the room, and indeed found a rather old TV not far away, the kind that can only be seen in the countryside. He hesitated for a while, but the worry about his sister was at the top of his mind , even if it was some kind of trap, he would admit it.

He clicked the button, and behind the inevitable snowflake screen of the old TV, with the sound of electric current, the picture on the screen finally became clear.

In the center of the screen, there was a little girl who curled herself up in a corner, even though her face was covered by her long hair, with just one glance, Junichiro Tanizaki recognized that little figure as his sister.

"Damn...!" My sister was surrounded by fear, but he couldn't do anything now.Tanizaki Junichiro's eyes were red, his fingers were tightly squeezed together, and there was a scalp-numbing friction sound between the joints. He said hoarsely to the man who didn't know his purpose: "What do you want?"

"You're really calm." The man chuckled lightly, and said in an intimate tone, "As expected of the child I've been observing for so long."

Tanizaki Junichiro's brain is almost functioning supernormally. He thought of the recent murder case that caused panic among people around him. If this person is really the murderer, what should he do to save Naomi?

"Let's make a deal, Junichiro-kun."

"trade?"

"Yes, a small deal." The man said, "I've always been curious about what choices humans would make if their own death could be exchanged for the lives of their loved ones."

Tanizaki Junichiro understood the meaning of this sentence in an instant: "That is to say, if I die, will you let Naomi go?"

"No, no, no, of course I'm not that cruel." As if hearing a child's funny words, the man smiled even more happily, "Junichiro-kun, do you see the box in front of you? Open it."

Tanizaki Junichiro obeyed the instruction, and after opening the same old box, his breathing almost stopped.A tool was randomly installed in the red and black wooden box, but what could not be ignored was the stench that permeated the nasal cavity as the box was opened, and the dry and black unknown liquid stained on the iron tool— —Even if Junichiro Tanizaki's imagination is not that good, he can still guess what it is.

"I installed some small mechanisms in Lingmei's room, as long as you press the button next to the TV, bong—"

Junichiro Tanizaki took a step back, staring at the red button closely, for fear that he would accidentally touch it.

"What exactly do you want!" Junichiro Tanizaki asked this question again.

"Didn't I already say it, I just want to make a small deal with you." The man was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "For the sake of easy understanding, my first condition should be simple. "

"Just 400 milliliters of Junichiro-kun's blood can exchange your sister's life for a day. How about it? It's a good deal, right?"

"Of course, if Junichirou-kun doesn't want to, just press that little button, and I'll let you go."

"……I see."

"Who?!" Uichiro Yamashita, who was sitting in front of the computer, turned around suddenly, because the voice he spoke just now was not the voice of the young boy in the surveillance.

Then he saw that the originally closed window in the room was now wide open, and the white curtain was blown by the wind. On the window sill, there was a young man whose face could not be seen clearly.

Moonlight shines through the window, but because of the backlight, the black shadow completely blocks Youichiro Yamashita's prying eyes, and the wide hood even covers half of the young man's face.Following the movement of Yamashita Youichiro standing up, the squatting figure also lightly landed on the ground, with one hand loosely placed on the platinum sword at his waist.

"Threatened the boy with his sister's life to harm himself, but as long as he started once, for the sake of his sister, that child will inevitably continue your more and more excessive orders again and again."

"I can't stand it anymore. There is another choice in front of me. As long as I kill my sister, I can live on—of course, according to all the cases I have seen so far, it must be a lie to live?"

The young man who said these words in a clear voice approached step by step, and finally revealed his delicate and handsome face in the eyes of Yamashita Youichiro. The young man with gorgeous and smooth black hair tilted his head, as if thinking about it. wording.

"Hmm... how should I put it?" The young man bent his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth, obviously smiling, but in those inorganic golden pupils, there was a coldness that made people feel cold behind him, "Humans In some ways, it always surprises me.”

"I wanted to see what choice that kid would make, or maybe I should send you to the police station or something—but I'm sorry, I'm a little bit in a hurry." Shibai said, pulling out the body knife at his waist, Youichiro Yamashita was not given a chance to speak at all.

The silver light flashed past, cutting off his neck in an instant, and because the speed was too fast and the sword was too sharp, there seemed to be no difference in appearance except for a thin line of blood on the flesh.

"You..." Yamashita Youichiro - this is a pseudonym - so worthless, lost his life without being known.Regardless of whether this man has anything to do with the previous murder case, Shibai is too lazy to continue to understand the identity of the other party. Anyway, when making such a harmful decision, he should be prepared to be killed in the same way .

Finding the key from the man's suit, Shibai released Junichiro Tanizaki, who seemed to be in a daze and seemed unable to react, according to the position he followed before, and said casually, "Your sister is next door", and then Very quickly disappeared in place.

Tanizaki Naomi curled up in the corner of the room, noticing the movement from the door, her body shrank subconsciously, her eyes covered by her bangs quietly watched the direction there.

And at the moment when the door was opened, the overly familiar figure was reflected in her eyes, Naomi Tanizaki couldn't help but shed tears directly, "...brother!"

Tanizaki Junichiro rushed in and hugged his younger sister tightly, and then comforted his younger sister's back with the same trembling hands, "It's okay, it's okay, brother is here."

"This is not a place to talk, let's leave quickly." Tanizaki Junichiro didn't realize how serious and indifferent his expression was at the moment, as if he had excluded all necessary emotions, just to carry out the order to protect his sister.The temperature will only appear when the petite figure is reflected in the eyes.

Tanizaki Naomi nodded, but found that she couldn't stand up at all, because of the ups and downs of emotions, the body that had been tense was out of her control at all.Tanizaki Junichiro naturally noticed this too, he carried his sister on his back without saying a word, and walked outside.

After leaving the dark and terrifying room, Tanizaki Naomi was really relieved, and she said with a trembling voice: "The bad guy said... that my brother doesn't want me anymore..."

Tanizaki Junichiro was taken aback, and immediately replied in a comforting tone: "No, doesn't Naomi know me yet? I will never leave Naomi alone, my brother will always protect Naomi."

"Trust brother."

"……Um!"

But at this time, Shi Bai, who was leaving in a hurry, stood in a corner not far from the Tanizaki brothers and sisters without making a sound, and did not lower his eyes until he watched them return home step by step, and left. this location.

"Well, I'm probably going to be questioned by the leader." Shibai muttered, feeling a little dull in his heart for a long time, but he knew it wasn't caused by this reason.

After all, it is not the first time he has been perfunctory with the order of the leader of the gangsters in Hong Kong. He always has his own reasons to fool around.Whatever the reason, the tyrannical leader of the Hong Kong gang really never lost his temper with him.

It's just that seeing Tanizaki's brother and sister at this moment flashed those dusty memories for a long time in his mind.

"Sister..."

Shibai stopped in his tracks, this keyword made him unable to ignore it after all, as if there was an inescapable weight on his chest, making him a little out of breath.Shibai lowered his eyes, and his black hair fell in front of his eyes, making him look a little fragile.

Shibai leaned back against the wall to regain his composure, forcing himself to ignore these sudden surges of emotion and calm down.

"The mission has not been completed, and I cannot leave this world for the time being..." Shibai said to himself, "It is a mutually beneficial relationship with current affairs. The time here is not equal to the present world, so don't rush for a while. time."
