[Hunter] False World

Early December, wake up in July.

She is covered in bandages and cannot move freely.Every day, the maid invited by Kuroro can only help her wash, change clothes, and even feed her.The only entertainment is to wait for Kuroro to appear, then chat with him and bicker.

In fact, Qiyue didn't expect this casual man to be by her side, but no matter how thoroughly she understood, the waiting time was always long and lost.

Qiyue hates her half-dead look, and she thinks Kuroro must also hate it.Only the strong can be by his side, and this bandit will only recognize the strong.But the current self is nothing more than a burden.

Occasionally, flocks of seabirds flap their wings in the blue sky outside the window.Looking at it in July, she will think of her little messenger.

It is her best partner, accompanying her into this world and accompanying her through all the uneasiness.The little thing's feathers are as white as snow, soft to the touch, and has the taste of hometown.It likes to eat fresh cod the most, and it is very picky. It will peck at her with its beak before and after work and ask for extra food.When eating, it likes to peck a few times with its blue beak, then swallows the whole fish in one gulp, and finally flaps its wings and jumps on the ground, as if it is extremely happy because of the deliciousness.

Qiyue likes to tease the smooth and hard red crown on its head with fingers, with short feathers growing on it. Every time Qiyue touches it, it will blink reflexively, and at the same time hide in a low cry and shake its head wildly , the wings kept flapping its head, as if ticklish.

When those seabirds flapped their wings and flew away, July would think of the little thing and her days in Winter Island.It likes to hover around the snow-covered coast, screaming cheerfully, melting into the sky and the earth.

At the last moment, it was the rescuer it brought her.

Raising her eyebrows in July, she looked out of the window with a lost but proud expression.

She smiled.

They are all inferior to it.

It is the best.

In mid-December, July's body gradually recovered.

The broken bones were properly connected, and the torn flesh gradually healed.She was very curious about what kind of method Kuroro used in the first place, or what kind of doctor he invited to heal her so perfectly.

She can get out of bed for several hours a day, but she rarely sees Kuroro, a bandit who sometimes only comes back every few days.

However, when Qiyue thought this way, she realized that the thoughts in her mind were very strange-this place is obviously not her home, nor Kuroro's home, and it is normal not to come back.This is just their seaside hotel, the end point of his travels, and a temporary residence for her before returning home.Since when did she habitually think that Kuroro would always come back here?

"Miss Qiyue, it's almost time to enter the house." The old woman beside her persuaded softly, bent down and reached out to help Qiyue.

Qiyue squinted her eyes and half leaned on the swing and shook her hand, "I want to sit for a while."

The maid Kuroro hired for her is a kind-hearted old mother who is usually very meticulous in her work and takes good care of Qiyue.After Qiyue was able to get out of bed, she would accompany Qiyue to the backyard every afternoon to bask in the sun for a while, enjoy the sea breeze and listen to the waves.

"This..." Qiyue's answer made the old woman a little bit in a dilemma. The husband who invited her had told her not to stay in the sun for too long, as excessive exposure to the outside could easily infect the wound.What's more, the sea breeze is strong, and July has been running a fever. If he catches a cold again, his condition will worsen... The old woman shook her head and sighed softly.On weekdays, she carefully calculates the time, and usually sits for half an hour to three quarters of an hour, and then she will invite Qiyue back to her room.But today, seeing Qiyue staring at Hai Wang ecstatically, she let it go for a while when her heart softened, but she was even more reluctant to leave...

"Miss Qiyue," the old woman said with hesitation, she leaned into Qiyue's ear and whispered worriedly, "you'd better go back, we'll come down tomorrow. If your condition worsens..."

"It's okay, just let her stay for a while."

Before the old woman finished speaking, a low-pitched male voice interrupted her.Looking back in July, she saw Kuroro standing at the threshold of the backyard.

He was wearing the reverse cross leather jacket when they first met, with a sheepskin letter in one hand and in the pocket of the leather jacket with the other.The bandit looked calm, gentle and elegant at first glance, but there was an indescribable majesty and arrogance.

The old woman nodded, bowed respectfully and exited the backyard.Kuroro stepped into the backyard, and July moved a little, leaving him an empty seat on the swing. Kuroro sat down, and she squinted her eyes and leaned on his shoulder lightly.

Kuroro reached out to stop Qiyue's shoulder, being careful not to touch the bandage wrapped around her body, "Why don't you go up when you're tired?"

"Isn't this waiting for you?" Qiyue squinted her eyes and felt sleepy. The medicine Ku Luoluo gave her was very effective in healing her wounds, but it was very depressing. She felt very tired every time she finished eating, "I I'm so bored here, you're so happy, playing everywhere. Tell me, what places and people have you ruined recently? I'm just in a hurry to mourn for them."

"Heh." Kuroro chuckled and leaned back in the chair, July's hair rubbed against his neck, soft and itchy.He held up the sheepskin letter to Qiyue and shook it, "If this place is destroyed by me, you really have to mourn."

There is a string in my brain that is tense.July grabbed Kuroro's leather jacket and sat up, opened his eyes hesitantly and looked at the robber.Kuroro smiled and motioned her to open the notebook, took it in July and flipped through a few pages, and took out a neatly folded paper from it.

Opened, it was a hand-drawn map.

Looking up at Kuroro suspiciously, Qiyue couldn't believe her eyes, "This is..."

"Map of the tomb."

The clean white paper has clear lines, clearly marking every floor of the tomb, every necessary path, where there is a trap, and where there is a mechanism, all of which are detailed one by one.From the map, there is a three-column slanting on the ruins of the King’s Tomb Temple. When the sunlight penetrates the intersection, July can identify the entrance of the underground tomb from the shadow on the ground.After entering the tomb, you need to go down three floors in total, and finally reach the ruins of the underground shoal, find the narrow path opposite to the passage in the cave, pass through the emperor's tomb, and then only mark the approximate location of a parallel world passage.

The most crucial point was marked by him as the most ambiguous point on the whole map.

"Some mysteries are interesting to solve, but some secrets are more interesting to keep." As if seeing through July's doubts, Kuroro said slowly, "You can find the specific location of the passage yourself, I don't have any Interested."

It turned out that the day he disappeared was to find out the terrain of the mausoleum for her.

The fingertips of July holding the map felt a little tingling, she paused, and swallowed the words, "I can go directly through the passage under the cave."

Kuroro leaned on the back of the swing chair, put his hands on his lips, and looked at July from the side, most of his face was covered by loose hair, "After the last tide, the soil there was too soft and collapsed, and the road is blocked. You can go in." don't go."

"Did the tide go out recently?" July changed the subject and turned to look at him.

"No."

"Then how did you get in?"

"Swimming." Kuroro smiled, seeing Qiyue's face become resentful.

A gust of salty sea breeze blows in the backyard, bringing a few fallen leaves down one after another. Caria's winter this year is a bit cool.

The corner of the map was wrinkled by Qiyue, she stared at Kuroro for a while, and finally spoke.

"when are you leaving."

He gave her a map and figured out the terrain, which must be a sign of leaving.It's right to think about it in July, such a man, how could she let him leave him?

Her amber eyes looked straight into his dark eyes, which were no longer as cold and empty as when they first met.Kuroro frowned invisibly, but a half-smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "When I lost interest in you."

The two sat on the same white paint swing like this, one looked back sideways, the other smiled with his head propped up, staring at each other.

The wind blew up, lifting the loose strands of hair in July, separating them like a bright red curtain.

He'd had enough of Caria, and he'd figured out all the mysteries of the place.His ancient tomb has been robbed, and he already knows the map by heart.His study of her was complete, and he had seized even the most fatal weakness.What else could he be interested in her?

When the wind stopped, Qiyue smiled, her eyebrows were frivolous, her red lips were parted, and she was as coquettish as a red lotus dripping blood.

She asked softly, "When are you going to lose interest in me?"

The man paused and replied, "The next tide."

In mid-January, July has recovered very well.

She took off the bandage, and the skin on her body was as smooth and flawless as before, except for two shallow scars, one long and one short.One is located on the right chest, which was cut by Hisoka when she tried to protect Kuroro, and it is the evidence that she loved him.One stretched from the left abdomen to the back, and it was slightly prickly to the touch. It was evidence that the robber had saved her.

In July, the investigation went from the Internet to the owner of Apache Tears at the Daxter Exhibition in October.She fired the old maid before Kuroro, gave her a generous reward, and entrusted her to book an airship ticket to Youkexin.

In late January, July stole Apache Tears from a collector's apartment in You Kexin and returned to her beach house in Caria.

That night, after a long absence in July, he prepared a table of meals for Kuroro.

She ground the precious animal fangs that Xiaotao had secretly stuffed into her at the top of Mount Robes into powder, added a large amount and mixed it with food, and dissolved the colorless and odorless antidote in red wine, and presented them together on a long mahogany table.

At the dining table, she was wearing a red dress, with her hair loosely tied behind her head.It seems casual, but it has been carefully crafted.

Kuroro paused for a moment with the hand that picked up the chopsticks. He didn't speak, but only looked up at Ni Xiangqiyue. After a few seconds, he dropped the chopsticks neatly to pick up the vegetables and put them into his mouth.Qiyue was also unambiguous, and she didn't hesitate to eat a table full of dishes.

After tasting all the dishes on the table, Kuroro put down his chopsticks, put his hands under his lips, squinted his eyes and smiled, "It took a lot of trouble, July, what do you want to ask?"

The woman who had already eaten drowsily raised her glass and drank a big sip of red wine. I don't know if it was for detoxification or for courage, "Mr. Robber..." She was a little confused and used a long-lost address, "Why did you approach me in the first place? Well, I am Said that apart from being interested in me."

Kuroro shook the red wine glass, smelled the intoxicating aroma of the wine, but did not drink it, "I remember I answered that at the time, I thought you were very similar to a friend of mine."

"Well, so, what do you like most about me?" Qiyue giggled, she felt that her reason had flown so far away that even a few horses could not pull her back.But she just didn't want to stop, the question she always wanted to ask, before she left, no matter what method she used, she still really wanted to know...

The hand shaking the wine glass paused invisibly, Kuroro raised his head and took a sip of the red wine, not intending to hide it, "Eyes."

Ah.it is as expected.Qiyue grinned, he saved her life, and she finally found a gift to leave him.

Although maybe if he just said to stay, Qiyue would really be ruthless not to leave.But when Kuroro stared at July for a long time, she got up and smiled, saying good night to him.

"Don't say anything," she swayed while holding the goblet, walked up to Kuroro and made a crisp sound with the cup in his hand, then leaned back and drank it down, "Mr. Robber, you You know, my sister is still waiting for me to come home."

and so.

Goodbye.

"Good night." Kuroro raised his head and drank the antidote.He knew she would not stay, so he would never ask her to stay.

February ninety-eight.

Winter flowers.

The villa was quiet, and there was a glass vessel on the long wooden table in the living room.Inside the vessel, a pair of amber eyes floated quietly.

The young man who delivered the courier lay down by the fireplace, his body had already lost its temperature, stiff and cold.

Kuroro unfolded a blank letter paper, which was a letter left to him in July.The content is blank, only the writing on the envelope is faint——

"goodbye."

The man looked confused, and handed the container to the robber behind him.The knight took it and didn't say much.

Goodbye, do you never meet again, or look forward to seeing you again?

The man with black hair and black eyes put his hands in his pockets and strode out of the outskirts of Caria. The reverse cross leather jacket drew a domineering arc in the wind and roared.Sporadic snowdrops fell in the gray-blue sky, Kuroro stopped and looked up slightly.

There were white snowdrops falling into the black eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Robber, there is no winter in Caria."

Ah.

She really is a liar.

---End---

☆、26 Prologue Knight, hello

200X.

City S on the north coast of Urubian Continent, the basement floor of Sewell Building, 0:00 midnight.

On the promenade outside the auction site, the guards fell silently, and two men in different clothes, one tall and one short, walked straight forward without looking sideways.One of the taller men waved his hand sharply, "Pa," a drop of bright red blood flew from the man's fingertips, and fell to the ground with a very soft sound.

"Hey! Knight!" The eyebrowless murderer whistled teasingly, his eyes from top to bottom stood at the entrance of the venue, and the tea-haired robber in a suit and leather shoes ravaged him several times, "You are dressed like a beast today! Haha Ha ha!"

"..." Feitan, who was walking with him, buried his face behind the mask, his brain nerves completely numb to Finks' cold joke.

The chivalrous man who was being teased narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly, "Ah~ I didn't expect to meet you here. Maggie and Xiaodi are also here~"

Before he finished speaking, a man in the same suit and leather shoes pushed the door out.The emperor-like man was followed by two women, an iceberg-cold beauty and a cute-eyed girl, standing behind him on one left and one on the right.

"Cough." Kuroro cleared his throat slightly.

Fincks' face turned green before he could speak.His boss!His head!Today, he was also dressed like a beast...Finks stretched out his hand and stroked the eyebrows that didn't exist at all, and followed the group of people with a guilty conscience, humming an out-of-pitch tune.Fei Tan glanced at him with a cold face, and the tone changed into a softer "huhu" breath...

A group of bandits haven't seen each other for a long time, and he, Finks, really got off to a bad start...

The auction was coming to an end, and a group of people had walked out of the venue in a big way. Kuroro was in front of him, and the knight stepped in to wipe Feitan and Finx's buttocks.After dealing with all the camera probes on the scene, Xia Ke hurriedly caught up with the robbers parked on a quiet street corner outside the building. He thought to himself, although it was rare for everyone to get together, this time it was Finx who yelled that he and Feitan were near the auction , I just happened to be able to come over to join in the fun, but there was no movement on Kuroro's side, and it is estimated that those two would not be able to find any fun.

Sure enough, when the knight approached, he heard Finkes let out a long cry of surprise, "Commander! Didn't you see anything in this auction?!" Unexpectedly, there was no movement... Finkes felt the cold air continuously shifting from Feitan to him.

"Yeah." Kuroro led a group of people and continued to move forward. His steps were fast and steady without hesitation. "There is nothing worth grabbing in this auction. Why, do you want anything?"

Finx scratched his head and looked at Feitan.Fei Tan ignored him, he only looked at the knight.The knight shrugged and turned to Maggie.Maggie was expressionless, waiting for Xiaodi.So behind Kuroro, several spiders all looked at the dull little droplet.

Under the expectation of everyone, Xiaodi blinked, "I want that robot", she said as she pushed down the glasses on the bridge of her nose, "Xiaodi wants to give it to Franklin."

"Robot?" Kuroro stopped when he heard that, did this thing appear in the auction just now?

At the corner of the cross street in the early morning, the robbers fell silent, and the sound of shattering glass detonated by the heavy impact could be clearly heard.

A group of people looked in the direction Xiaodi pointed, and saw that the shell of a black car was smashed from the inside, and half of a woman's figure was exposed from the door that was almost removed. Being strangled by one hand!The woman slammed her elbow on the door, causing a loud bang with each knock, twisting the door more and more, until it was removed entirely.

A clear loud noise echoed through the entire empty street, like a roar of anger.

Looking from the direction of the knight, one could see the woman stepping inside the car, her white thigh covered with a light skirt, but her other foot was mechanically stepping outside the car, twisting and struggling.In the chaos, the girl who seemed to be a robot seemed to want to jump out of the car, but was held tightly by the man in black on the back seat.The bounce was dragged back, and the girl bumped the roof of the car into a bulge, and the moment she lost her balance and fell backwards, her mechanical left foot crushed through the bottom of the car!

Under this scene, several spiders showed various expressions.Kuroro was very interested, while the knight narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth at the suspected robot.Feitan still buried his face under the mask, but his golden eyes narrowed slightly with excitement, wondering if it would be an interesting game.Finksi simply rolled up his sleeves, raised his dreamy eyebrows and said to Xiaodi, "Do you want this robot? Just grab it!"

"boom!--"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise from the black car!The flames from the explosion exploded, igniting the sky at the intersection.Three men and one woman flew out of the explosion.One of the scorched men was holding a laptop computer in his arms. Before he hit the ground, the burning computer exploded for a second time. Metal fragments pierced him beyond recognition and killed him on the spot.

Finkes walked over leisurely, and sent the dying others a ride.

With one hand, he picked up the doll-like mechanical woman with her eyes closed and unable to move near the flaming car, and shook her up and down violently for a while, then lifted her arm and moved her leg, "Hey, Xiaodi! This one seems to be broken. Already!"

Taking a closer look, Finks suddenly touched the woman's smooth neck, and laughed obscenely, "I don't know if Franklin likes blow-up dolls, but if he does, then this one is really top-quality, hahaha! !!"

"..."

All the spiders were silent.

"What is an inflatable doll?" Xiaodi, who was not accompanied by Franklin's dad, burst into curiosity.But Finks just clicked his tongue in admiration and smirked as he touched the tender white skin of the robot, Maggie showed a look of disgust, Feitan frowned helplessly, and even the leader who knew everything looked at him at that moment. The toe of the shoe showed great interest.Xiao Di was confused, didn't even the head of the team know?Or is he unwilling to say it?Or... the knight will know, right?

In the end, the eyes full of curiosity for knowledge fell on the shoulders of the knight.

"Ah...that...is a tool...hehehe..."

After being stared at by Xiao Di for tens of seconds, Xia Ke scratched his head reluctantly and gave an ambiguous answer.

"tool?"

"..." From the corner of the eye, Finks finally touched the suspected robot and dragged it back. The knight, who didn't know how to continue answering, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw!He couldn't show more interest in Kuroro's toe, so he could only show extraordinary enthusiasm for the robot to escape Xiaodi's questioning.

His eyes stopped on the woman's left leg.The left leg, which was originally covered by machinery, deformed like a robot in a movie at this moment. The steel machinery shrank inwards, and the skin and flesh covered it outwards. In an instant, it returned to the appearance of a human woman.

Looking down at the suspected robot with closed eyes on the ground, the knight inspected the woman from beginning to end.

The silver mid-length hair is tightly connected to the scalp, and the skin is fair and transparent, which can be broken by blowing a bullet.Groping all the way from the neck, the skin is warm, as if you can still feel the temperature of the blood.The chest is plump and soft, and it feels very realistic to the touch.He hesitated, is this really a robot?

When the knight's hand pierced through the thin material and landed on the woman's chest, the robot that seemed to be in a state of crash just now suddenly opened its eyes!

Xia Ke clearly saw her lifeless pupils turned green strangely by the flashing computer program. After a few seconds, the black eyes of the robot regained their luster. She looked at Xia Ke steadily, then slowly twisted her neck to look at The right hand of the knight placed on her chest, his eyes flashed green light, scanning back and forth on the knight's face.

Noticing that the position of the hand seemed inappropriate, the knight subconsciously wanted to take it back, but the robot woman held him down with such force that he couldn't break free.

"Record-record-end-complete-" The woman in front of me mechanically spit out these four words one by one, giving the knight the illusion of watching a science fiction movie for a moment.

A knight's figure flickered in her eyes, and only the knight's figure was there.

"Master, hello. I'm Bai."

She blinked slowly, and spoke with a very serious expression, "It's the first time we meet, can you give me a kiss as a gift?"
