cross night

"Stop making trouble, Chu Xuan, you have no combat power at all!" Captain Zhongzhou was terrified, thinking that the military master had gone crazy.

Shiye was even more exaggerated, pressing Chu Xuan's forehead with one hand to make sure he didn't have a fever.

Chu Xuan looked at the two of them with contempt: "We need to get the combat data of your cooperation."

It was only then that the two remembered that there was a strong team called "Devil Team" in the reincarnation world, and there were two strong men in it who were replicas of the two of them.

"From now on, we will call the Devils the 'Bulls'." Toya said, rubbing his chin.Zhao Yingkong refused expressionlessly: "I like 'Mengniu' milk."

"Ha, I like light, old brand."

"Get ready." Chu Xuan coldly reminded them to get down to business.Ten Yeliang advised: "Chu Xuan, a sword has no eyes, you better not—" Zhongzhou think tank just ignored the wind, walked to the center of the field, a black pistol engraved with silver runes appeared in his hand, his eyes turned The icy tranquility exuded an inhuman sense of existence all over his body.

Zhan Lan and the others dodged to the corner cleverly, realizing that this battle would be very tragic.

This... this feeling is, ten nights! ?The third level of gene lock!Zheng Zha turned pale with shock, stimulated by this invisible sense of oppression, he also instantly entered the state of preparation for battle.

Zhao Yingkong was shocked, as if she had received some wordless signal, she rushed over at full speed, her left hand turned into a huge black sharp claw.

At this point, the battle was inevitable, and Toya quickly took out the sidearm "Convict" and shot at the petite figure.

Sakura Kong's speed...can't be approached by her!As long as she is forced out of the range of the spear, Zheng Zha can attack calmly.

A series of explosions sounded, and more than ten bullets collided in the air. Chu Xuan and Shiya pulled the trigger at the same time, with the same hand speed, and the bursting metal fragments and sparks dyed the field of vision gorgeously.A few bullets penetrated the barrage and blasted bullet holes at Zhao Yingkong's feet, but they could no longer stop her attacking steps.

Zheng Zha raised his gun to meet him, and the two weapons, one red and one black, collided fiercely, and the shadows swaying rapidly were dazzling, and it was almost too late to see clearly at ten nights.This moment of distraction, Chu Xuan's soul-chasing bullets hit him.Fortunately, his sixth sense of crisis is so strong, crackling!Two blue electric whips shot out frantically, but the silver bullets engraved with strange patterns passed through the gap as predictable, penetrated into the body of the boy who was retreating quickly, and bit out a big blood flower!

Scarlet dots dripped all over the floor.

Gulp.The bystanders swallowed in unison.

Suddenly exerting force under his feet, he turned into countless phantoms and moved at high speed between the barriers on the wall. Toya pressed the wound with a pale face, and golden stars flickered in front of his eyes.

Damn...it hurts!What bullet does this guy use?

Chu Xuan seemed to be able to keep up with his movement trajectory, keeping his eyes on his fast-jumping body, but his hand speed was a bit slower, missing his landing point every time by a tiny bit.

Looking at the pair of black pupils without any human emotions below, Toya was unable to pull the trigger. On the one hand, it was because of his inability to attack his friend's feelings; The pistol will hit him mercilessly!

With his eyes fixed, the young man entered a state of mental concentration, and his body fell straight, from high-speed movement to straight fall, which completely violated the laws of the human body and physics, and exceeded Chu Xuan's expectations.But ten nights did it, and it was done very smoothly, without a trace of reluctance.

Pausing slightly in mid-air, he rushed over, his eyes became clear again, and he got out of the state of ruthless killing.

Several thin and small flying knives were shot at Chu Xuan, all of which were inserted in positions where he could retreat.Chu Xuan paused, the shield was activated, and the light shield bounced around him.Even if Shiye arrived early, two fiery red birds jumped out of the white mist around him, deadly and beautiful.

The gaze that met him was as calm as washing.

Click click!Chu Xuan broke two small knives unexpectedly, and his steps showed a strange rhythm.When Shiye stared blankly and his heart skipped a beat for him, an incomparably gorgeous bright red flame twisted and shot out from the bottom of Chu Xuan's feet, devouring the two swallows condensed by blood energy.

"Damn!" Dodging in such a thrilling manner, Toya could almost smell the smell of burnt hair, and fell down headlong, "You are crazy, Chu Xuan! Exchange for blood flames, you will die of pain!"

"It's Hongyan." Pushing his glasses, Chu Xuan seemed to have exited the simulation state of the third-level gene lock, and shot him again.

What's up with these two?For a moment, the audience had this idea.

It's too weird to say that this scene is about partners in conflict, but it's more similar if it's about enemies who are at odds.

After a few somersaults to escape the rain of bullets, the boy's body stopped on a metal target for a while, and hot sparks burst out from his night eyes.

Chu Xuan didn't confront him in an absolutely ruthless simulated state, which eliminated the strange irritability in his heart, and also made him ignite a fierce fighting spirit, and the corner of his mouth smiled like a knife.

If you want to hit me, hit me until you can't move!

boom!The pedal under his feet was shattered, Toya had already jumped up, another sharp fall disappeared from under Chu Xuan's eyes, and he wrapped around an armor plate, his body was almost touching the ground, but his speed was unimaginably fast.

The explosion sounded above his head, and a series of bullets poured down. He calmly changed direction and recoiled, throwing the dense bullet rain behind him in an instant, at the cost of being scratched by more than a dozen wounds by the bomb fragments.

He must have redeemed a special ability... to be able to see me through obstacles.

The feeling of letting go pierced an ice-cold gossamer, and the boy's hair stood on end for a moment. This danger was looming, flickering and fading, but it made him feel the chill down to the spinal cord.

A green thread, as thin as a hair, pierced his skull flexibly.

Zhao Yingkong! ?

Shiye was taken aback when he caught the erratic figure that was following him, and quickly looked at Zheng Zha, and a lying figure came into view.

How can it be!No matter how fast Ying Kong is, Zheng Zha is not easy to deal with!His Golden Bell Shade is difficult to crack. During her fight, Zheng Zha, who unlocked the third level of the gene lock, could kill her hundreds of times.

Clap!Two bullets exploded in his left elbow and right arm, but this time there was no pain, but Chu Xuan's indifferent expression told him: You lost.

Unprecedented embarrassment exploded in his heart, at this moment, Shiye's eyes were as fierce as a beast.

"Don't hinder me!" The green line followed like a shadow, he roared furiously, his tense body bounced up, and narrowly brushed against the green line, colliding with Zhao Yingkong like a shell out of the chamber, and the muffled noise was as dense as popping beans. With a soft snort, at least a few ribs were broken by the impact, and her internal organs were severely injured.She turned over unwaveringly, flexibly turned to the top, and raised her left hand.

This hand is covered with blood holes, obviously the battle with Zheng Zha also caused her to be seriously injured.But at this moment, the boy didn't have any pity in his heart, and he straightened his waist and slid out with a cold expression. Ten electric whips bound the girl so that she couldn't move, and her whole body was numb.

He rushed towards Chu Xuan.

The colonel was not in a hurry, he stepped back while blocking the shot, and the throwing knives stuck in the ground seemed to be shaken, jumped up by themselves, and stabbed the young man who was approaching quickly.

This move stunned the people watching the battle.

Toya's pupils contracted violently, and instead of retreating, he moved forward, his feet speeding up to shake off the bright white shock wave, and all the fragments of the bullet casings hit nearby jumped up, crackling and snapping away the few knives.

Subtlety, collision!

The blood youth exuding bright red flames slammed into Hongyan's defense wall, and the auger-shaped fire whirlwind was driven to spin faster and exploded violently.Chu Xuan's face changed slightly, and he raised his arms reflexively to block, click!His gun hand was kicked and the pistol flew out.

Fighting offense and defense, Shiya followed the rules set by himself, and only used his feet to force Chu Xuan, who was resisting with all his strength, out of breath.The offensive like a violent storm did not stop for a moment, and the feet wrapped in red flames kicked in a row, as if to force out all his resistance.The light of the arms and protective shield that also wrapped the energy of the blood clan was like a flame that was about to go out, flickering weakly.

pong!Finally, the last trace of Chu Xuan's strength was kicked away, and he threw a military dagger with his back against the wall.Ren Daofeng made a deep gash on his left cheek, Shiya twisted his waist and turned sideways fiercely, clamped his hand and broke it, stepped on his chest lightly with his toes, crackling!At the moment when the colonel was suffocating, he kicked and shattered three other parts of him that could cause counterattacks: his left hand and both knees.

Lost in combat, the boy slid down, but the boy still didn't stop. He kicked him out with a turn, released his right hand from the restraints, held down his head, and hit the ground heavily.

boom!Chu Xuan almost passed out, his usually clear brain seemed to be filled with blood mist, suffocating his heart, the sky was dark for a long time, and he blinked in a daze to see his situation clearly.

His upper body was leaned back, his fractured hands were firmly fixed behind him at strange angles, and his feet were also tightly entwined by another pair of slender and extremely explosive legs. , the five fingers are connected with the black silk button, and the two sides fit together so that there is no gap.

Ten nights panted slightly, staring into his eyes with excitement and more desire to hunt.

Gunpowder smoke, blood, flames, and male hormones, this is the taste of conquest.

"The conclusion is that the chance of the two of you reaching a tactical cooperation is less than 10%."

Ten nights crossed their legs unhappily, listening to the lectures of the senior colonel who had restored his status as a military adviser.

In this battle, Zhao Yingkong suffered the most serious injuries.The fractured Chu Xuan was carried by Shiye to let the main god take a picture.Zheng Zha was not injured at all, but was stabbed in the back of the head and passed out.It was only then that Shiye knew that Zhao Yingkong's green thread was the energy of her emerald jade fingers attached to the memory metal winding wire, which had extremely strong piercing power.

"Grandma, when did you become so powerful?" Captain Zhongzhou slapped the military division's shoulder with a bang.Shiye was not surprised. When Chu Xuan was revived by Zheng Zha in the original book, he seemed to know the specific situation of the first and second levels of the gene lock. The third level was not difficult for him, but the inner demons of the fourth level were stuck.

"What is that gun of yours? That step, the application of Hongyan, is the sound dance skill of Innocence boots, right? Also, how could you find me through the armor plate?" Toyaichi asked several questions in succession.

Chu Xuan pushed his glasses, took out the pistol, and explained the reason.

Jackal, a special pistol for fighting demons (D+500): This black pistol engraved with mithril runes is 39cm long and weighs 19kg. It is a weapon specially used to deal with monsters.Shiye immediately understood why the beating hurt so much, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The bullets it uses have special specifications, 13mm armor-piercing bullets, the shells are made of special silver alloy, and the Mabels chemical cartridge NNA9 is inside. The bullets are baptized mercury bullets, which have sacred/magic properties.Ordinary silver bullets that have not been blessed can also be used, but are much less powerful.

In addition to using the 10-point Blessing Silver Bullet, Chu Xuan also tried the Modified Bullet.He strengthened the primary magic cannon emissary with a D-level branch plot and [-] points, obtained a magic pool, learned the first-level magic bullet alchemy technique, learned one-word spells, and was able to give bullets magical properties through engraving and enchanting.

The alchemy of magic bullet originated from a kind of alchemy invented by witches. Using firearms, magic power is fused into gunpowder, and the spell is activated at the moment of burning.In this way, it made up for its own weakness in combat power, and fought against the paladins and fools who hunted them down.The main god has expanded this ability, and both men and women can exchange it.In the later stage, the magic cannon messenger can also summon the powerful magic cannon beast as a striker, warrior or shield.

In addition, Chu Xuan also tentatively strengthened two blood skills.His half-vampire physique can also be exchanged by default.

Red Flame (C+2000): Requires blood energy of the Viscount level, can burn all items, and has miraculous effects on spirit creatures.

Bloodline Level 2 Sensing Technique (C+1200): spiritual aura, listening to the voice of the heart, spiritual guidance.

The spiritual aura can make the vampires perceive the spiritual aura emanating from the creature, which can be distinguished by different hues. Emotions, bloodlines and abilities will all affect the color of the aura.For example, blood races are pale and strong light, magicians are green light, and monsters are surrounded by black flames all the time.And intense emotions, such as anger is red, focus is orange, excitement and aggression are dazzling violet, and people who are good at observing can get a lot of information through the combination of these colors.

At that time, the blood youth who restrained him was like a beast that had successfully hunted. His whole body exuded blazing wildness and excitement. The purple flames of aggression and aggression are rippling around the periphery, and in the center is a focused orange that only wants to plunder him. That brilliant flame that burns his soul makes Chu Xuan stare fascinatedly, forgetting all resistance for a moment.

Until now, his heartbeat has not returned to calm, and that scene is deeply imprinted in his mind.

The range of listening to the voice of the heart is only a few meters, and it can dig out the most secret desires and thoughts of the heart.Useless against enemies, but useful for coordinating these mortals in a team.Most importantly, get to know a certain imp who has a secret inside.

Psychic Guidance is a bit similar to the "Fight the Enemy" of the first-level sensory technique of the blood race, predicting the moment when the enemy attacks.But spiritual guidance is not limited to the enemy's actions, the recent future fragments and clear scene information can help him predict.

Toya was very happy to hear that Chu Xuan had strengthened his skills.This guy is just too selfless, he is willing to exchange some self-protection abilities, although it may be for this battle, it still makes Toya very pleased.

"If the devil team has wise men, they may combine you into an organic whole." Chu Xuan pondered, "Especially you, Toya, give up 'power' and devote all your energy to cultivating your spiritual abilities. With your character, you will also promise……"

"No." Ten nights grinned, "If the Devils are the law of the jungle, I won't let anyone dominate me, and I don't believe in that kind of team. Trust him." As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to the subordinate, wanting to give him a warm hug, but the other party returned a big ungrateful look.

"Will artificial humans be copied?" Chu Xuan was thoughtful.Zheng Zha was very comforted, thinking that his duplicate body also had Luo Li to accompany him.

After the joint practice, everyone was so exhausted that they just wanted to go back and fall asleep.Shiye took a few steps and rushed to Chu Xuan on a whim: "Come to my house for dinner!"

Sniff, he still smells so good.The boy simply lay on the colonel's shoulder and rubbed against his neck.

In fact, rather than saying that Chu Xuan has no body odor, it is better to say that his body odor is extremely light, refreshing and pleasant.At this moment, there was also a smell of gunpowder and blood, which was not pungent, but instead made Toya's calm mood agitated again. Thinking back to the hearty battle and the thrill of the moment of victory, he rubbed it more and more eagerly.

Zheng Zha and the others glanced at it and left quickly, but they didn't see anything.

Kang Nuo didn't welcome diners: "Master, please cook for yourself."

"It's okay, let's eat hamburgers." Toya still rubbed happily.For the sake of the quality of food, the conscientious blood housekeeper had no choice but to cook.

Chu Xuan's food has always been "masculine", Shiye appreciates it very much, and eats with big pieces.Connor had no choice but to keep out of sight.

"If the cyborgs are copied, and there are breeding-type main players, those who are not strong enough may be forced to give up cyborgs for their entertainment." Chu Xuan said nonchalantly, not missing the emotional color of the ten nights, "You and It is very likely that Zheng Zha's replicants will reach a cooperation in this regard, or they may not be able to plan to death, which will save us trouble."

"Master, if you have a clone, he is also very dangerous." Connor brought a plate of venison loin, and said meaningfully.Shiye's face was extremely ugly: "No, there are few people like that after all. There are beauties to choose from, who would hug a man." Xiao Lier's clone... Sigh.

Is it rare to want to hug a man?Chu Xuan was taken aback, he scooped up the grilled eel seasoned with apple sauce, so there was no need to worry about him getting stuck in his throat this ten nights.

"In any case, there is too little information about the Demon Team, who knows what's going on there." Ten Ye chewed on the salmon slices, not wanting to talk about this topic, "Chu Xuan, just sleep with me tonight, don't stay up late."

"In your bed?"

"Well, that's fine too."

Thinking of the college life he longed for, Shiye's eyes lit up: "I haven't slept with anyone yet, haha."

What pleasure is there in sleeping with a man, master.Connor cast a meaningful gaze again, packed up his empty plate and left.

Wearing a short-sleeved sweatshirt with a Snoopy pattern on it, and fluffy animal slippers, the black-haired boy walked into the bedroom after taking a shower, and saw Chu Xuan lying on the bed with his eyes closed and sleeping peacefully.

"Oh, fell asleep already?" Ten night was surprised, he thought this guy would stay on the computer until late.

Probably staying up late two days ago was too fierce.Looking at the man who was sleeping like a big boy, Toya looked at the arched windows with a classic style.Outside, in the black velvet sky, the Southern Cross star was as bright as a diamond.

It is said that this is the traveler's star, the guiding light of sailors.Make a wish to it and your dreams will come true.

Suddenly thinking of family members far away in another world, ten nights feel melancholy.If the stars can grant people's wishes, he wants them to forget him.

"Ah, I also wish Fei Yue to find a good girlfriend. His vision is too bad." Thinking of his cousin who is always dumped by women, Shiye felt better, and went to bed and pinched Chu Xuan's nose, "Give it to me too." This guy deserves one."

He still hasn't woken up yet.Toya blinked and stopped playing pranks.

This face became pleasing to the eye after looking at it for a long time. The wise man named "Chu Xuan"... The impression in the book has faded, and the relationship in actual relationship has become more and more profound. A smart and reliable friend and "son" who is troublesome to teach, Scenes were played back in the depths of my mind, and a different kind of warmth appeared in my heart.

"Good night, Chu Xuan."

The next day, the Zhongzhou team went to the world of horror films.

There was also an episode in which Shiye and Xiao Honglu accidentally used up a D-level branch plot that should have been vacated. Fortunately, Zheng Zha still had two Ds to help them pay, which caused the two of them to look up under Chu Xuan's cold eyes. Can't get up.

A D-level branch plot opens "Alien 20", and the redemption period is 1000 days, with a total of [-] points.

According to Chu Xuan's opinion, they entered at the lunar military base where they might meet the heroine.First, the immigrant planet LV-426, the main battlefield of horror films, is a lair of aliens, and it is very dangerous to rush into it; Get there, and the 57-year span between Alien One and Alien Two is skipped.

Sure enough, as soon as he set foot on land, the solemn and solemn voice of the Lord God sounded:

"Alien 426 Horror Movie Plot Begins. Accompany Ripley to the immigrant planet LV-[-] and complete the task of blowing up the planet. Each member of the team will be rewarded with [-] reward points plus a C-level horror movie branch plot. Kill ordinary Alien One, get [-] reward points, kill the Alien Queen, get a D-level branch plot once, and get [-] reward points. Ripley cannot die, and if he dies, the team members participating in the mission will be obliterated. Marine Corps members If one dies, two hundred reward points will be deducted from each person."

Everyone tidied up their equipment silently, and walked into the "AVP" company building to which the heroine belonged.

"Ah, you're still alive!" A foreign woman and a middle-aged man walked out of the elevator with surprise on their faces.

She is still alive.Toya and the others felt the same emotion.

In Alien [-], I didn’t see the heroine until the end, but the cyborg Ahxiu who should be killed by her appeared, so everyone thought she was more dangerous than good, but she didn’t expect her life to be very hard, but it may also be It is the arrangement made by the Lord God to continue the plot.

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed brightly, and he stepped forward to inquire a little, and confirmed that the identities that the Lord God had forged for them were special officials of the United Earth Government.This can be seen from the fact that Pan Ke, the company representative who followed Ripley, went to the side to investigate secretly, and fawned on them after returning.

Ten nights didn't like him. This idiot villain later lured the alien in order to make the alien cocoon inside Ripley and another little girl, Newt. Ripley was rescued, and he died, a stupid guy.

Knowing that their status was "noble", Ripley's attitude became lukewarm.Ten nights was quite regretful, he liked this resolute and strong woman very much.Taking over the command from the arriving marines, Chu Xuan announced his departure.

"The difficulty of this task lies in the limitation of our combat power. In front of the characters in the plot, we cannot use abilities beyond their understanding.High-tech weapons can also be said to be developed by the government, but Zheng Zha, you and Zhao Yingkong can hardly make a move.Alien [-] and [-] have good weapons, though, and we can manage to get some. 』Chu Xuan signaled Zhan Lan to use the chain of mind to connect with everyone, and said in his consciousness.

"There are at least a hundred aliens in this horror movie. "Toya pinched the hair on his forehead and smiled wryly, "I have to take out the flamethrower. 』

Seeing his actions, Xiao Honglu was stunned: "Can you imitate me?"Didn't you unlock it? 』

"No, since Chu Xuan almost burned my front hair last time, I cherish them very much. 』

"..."

Xiao Honglu and Shiye scuffled.Ignoring the two young children, Chu Xuan dug out the password from the head of the black captain Ai Peng, and slipped into the warehouse to fill his own pockets.Independent aiming particle gun system, ultrasonic electron gun, M14 electronic pulse rifle, anti-personnel landmines, natural optical fiber camouflage suits, motion detectors, etc. were all stuffed into his space bag.

"Chu Xuan, what are you doing?" It's not that no one noticed his evil deeds, Shiye mentally scanned it, ran over quickly, and dragged him back, "Don't leave the brigade."

Knowing that I exchanged the level 2 sensory spell "Listen to the Heart", but didn't consider that I might read his heart, is it trust or stupid?Chu Xuan thought silently.

How could Shiye have time to let him be full of ghost ideas, and it was too late to deal with the monsters in horror movies.

The colonial planet LV-426 has been turned into ruins, covered with heavy black clouds, torrential rain, and howling cold wind.The searchlights of the reconnaissance car hit the gray walls corroded by aliens from time to time, and the scattered and twisted steel bars made the atmosphere creepy.Faster than the Marines, Toya found the surviving little girl - Newt.

She hugged a Barbie doll, curled up beside a broken wall, her dress was soaked by the cold rain, her clear blue eyes reminiscent of a flawless sky were dulled by fright.

The blood youth who picked her up was amazed by her lightness and trembling, as if she would break if she exerted force.

"God!" Ripley exclaimed after getting out of the car.Zhan Lan and other female team members hurried to get towels and hot water bottles.

Seeing such a child, probably except Chu Xuan and those male members of the Marine Corps, no one could bear to ask her the details.The information she could provide was limited, and she just repeated the names of her father, mother and younger brother.

"Oh, Chu Xuan, forget it." Seeing Ripley feeding her hot chocolate and Shiye taking out his potato chips to coax her, Zheng Zha sighed and said vaguely, "It's not like we don't know..."

"With the wisdom of ordinary people, there are military officers who would play with important survivors instead of interrogating them immediately?" Chu Xuan despised him, together with Toyaichi over there.

"Anyway, we have Xiao Honglu, so it's suspicious enough." Zheng Zha was quick-witted, and pushed back confidently.Xiao Honglu, who was forced to play with a doll with a little girl, turned his head sullenly, emphasizing: "I am a gifted child, don't underestimate me."

At this moment, everyone gathered in the main control room of the colonial base to discuss the next move.The little girl, Newt, fell asleep after drinking a hot drink, and she was also parasitized by the Xenomorph.The biochemical member "Bishop" in the team injected anesthesia into her and performed an autopsy.Chu Xuan watched with great interest and put away the larva, preparing to bring it back to the main god's space for research.

The plot characters use the monitors to find the colonists in the ground and propose rescue.Knowing that there will be a large number of aliens there, the Zhongzhou team members agreed while feeling complicated.

Due to its proximity to the main power supply room, it may cause a thermonuclear explosion if fired, so only melee weapons can be used.Worried that the team would be injured, Shiye came up with a way to whisper to the military adviser: "Chu Xuan, let's put Yingkong on an invisibility cloak, kill a few more aliens, cover us, and keep the characters in the plot."

"negative. 』Chu Xuan’s voice rang directly in his head, seeing his surprised eyes, he raised his jaw, and whispered in his ear: “Second-level blood binding can establish a spiritual connection...you can hear it ?"

"Ah... I can hear it." Feeling the hot breath blowing into his ears, Toya shivered, his heart stopped for half a second, and he muttered with heat on his face, "What a strange feeling..."

As if he didn't see his discomfort, the senior colonel's Si Bo was as calm and indifferent as his expression: "We don't need to pay attention to their regulations. If we can't see Zhao Yingkong, she may be injured by stray bullets."In Shiye, it doesn’t matter if everyone except Ripley dies, it’s convenient for us to kill the queen in the later stage. This time, the number of aliens is enough for us not to be afraid of deducting points.And my goal is to let ordinary players open the gene lock, not her personal scoring. 』

His thinking was not as thorough as that of a military adviser, so Toya could only say nothing.

He walked to the window, wondering if it was because the killing was about to start, there was a faint smell of blood in the wind.

The half-drinked hot chocolate turned cold, and Newt was still asleep. Her clear blue eyes, which were the opposite of the cloudy sky, were tightly closed, making Toya feel an indescribable feeling.

The night outside the window was like ink, and a halo of yellow light was reflected on the window, as if the only warm color in the world.
