When the familiar sound of something being kicked sounded, Ichimaru Gin was eating his special rice ball stuffed with persimmons.

In three days, the red and purple scars on the young man's body faded away at the level of a worm's nest. After consolidating his dominance in the fighting arena, the eyes cast on him changed from those of a tiger to that of a tiger.

Gin Ichimaru is delighted with the change.

Just when the boy was wondering if that foot was kicked by Xiao Qingmu just now, the lime-covered Liu Sansan floated into the commodity sales area with a purse in his arms, with two lyrical wide seaweed tears trailing behind him in a very literati manner.

Ichimaru Gin's mouth twitched.

After a while, Liu Sansan came out with heavy steps holding a white linen cloth used as a prisoner.

On the way, he hesitated for a while, walked up to Ichimaru, and asked with a serious expression, "What exactly do you want to do to Aoki?"

Ichimaru Gin raised his signature smile: "Oh, isn't it obvious what I did? I'm pursuing her."

Liu Sansan was silent for a long time, as if he was judging the credibility of his words.

The tall man sighed, and started walking again with the cloth in his arms: "Follow me."

After passing the isolation hall and the stone wall of the living area, the two came to the accommodation area.

The so-called rooms are nothing more than holes punched in the mountain, just like the grottoes where the hanging coffins are placed. All daily necessities need to be purchased - including doors and windows.

There are upward stone steps chiseled on the almost vertical stone wall, and it is extremely inconvenient to use both hands and feet when climbing.

The higher you live, the lower your status in the Worm's Nest and the weaker your abilities.

Occasionally, residents in high places stumble and fall to their deaths.

Therefore, most prisoners who cannot live in the lower rooms choose to sleep in the dining hall.

The room that Ichimaru Gin was allocated at the beginning was at a very high place, and he also chose to sleep in the hall.Every night, he watched nearly 2000 people move slowly, cramming themselves into black hollows in the white mountain.The scene of people crawling densely on the stone wall reminded him of molluscs crawling in and out of rotten fruits full of hollows.

Worm's Nest, thought the boy, was apt.

At the bottom of the mountain, there are several holes that are particularly large, as if four or five caves connected together have been opened.

The three adjacent rooms in the middle are equipped with the same circular sliding doors, and Ichimaru Gin knows that the owners of these three rooms are the trio that Aoki Aoki is in.

28 is in the center, Liu San San is on the left, and Aoki is on the right.

The room on Aoki's right has changed owners four days ago, and the current owner is Ichimaru Gin.

Liu Sansan took Ichimaru into Aoki's room.

28 is also there, in front of him, Aoki Qingtong is lying flat on the tatami in a stiff posture.

Liu Sansan closed the door, and the room suddenly became dark, only a candle on the table flickered on and off. The man said, "She's dead."

Ichimaru Gin did not speak, and sat next to 28. The old man was holding a piece of cotton cloth in his hand, and was carefully wiping the mottled blood stains on the girl's body.The bandage had been removed, and the black-red wound gave off an unpleasant stench, and half-coagulated blood and turbid pus were hanging on the edge of the wound.

The boy stretched out his hand to probe the girl's carotid artery, but there was no movement, and there was a little residual warmth on the soft body.

Ichimaru Gin withdrew his fingers, the corner of his mouth lost his smile, he suddenly lowered his head, touched Aoki's lips with his own——

The progress was too fast, and the novelist Liusansan refused to admit that it was a kiss.

The cloth in the man's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and he asked hoarsely, "You, you, do you want to rape a corpse?!"

28 trembled, and so did the air in the room.

The smile on Ichimaru Gin's face came back: "Oh, that's how I believe that Xiao Aoki is really dead."

He turned his face to look at Liu Sansan, and there was a certain sharpness in his unchanging smile: "What did you ask me to do? It's not just to see her for the last time, is it?"

Liu Sansan sat cross-legged in front of the closed door, his mountainous figure almost cut off all the light from the outside world.

28 A second candle was lit, but the flame faltered in the absence of wind.From time to time there is a slight popping sound.

The creases on the old man's face were particularly profound in the flickering candlelight: "I have a way to bring her back to life, but we need your help."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Steal something."

"What is it?"

"Under the prison head's desk, there is a floor tile that can be moved. Below it is a basement, which hides the personal belongings of all the prisoners in the worm's nest. Find the cabinet of 28. There is only one marked 'Experiment No. 28' in it." Brown bottle." [-] stated in his usual slow tone, the voice had a hypnotic effect in the dark room, "Bring it back."

Ichimaru Gin was very cooperative: "How do you get into the prison boss's office?"

"Before going to the fighting arena outside the worm's lair, the cell boss will take you there to sign the contract."

Ichimaru Gin stood up, and the thin figure of the young man always gave people a feeling of lightness.

"I see," he said.

Liu Sansan still blocked the door: "There are two more points. First, the medicine will only be effective if you take it within 24 hours of death. Your time is until this time tomorrow. Second, the news of Aoki's death cannot be spread, otherwise it will be destroyed immediately." Someone is coming to collect the body."

"I see," said Ichimaru Gin, "how did Aoki-chan die?"

Liu Sansan pointed to the wound on Aoki's hand that became more and more terrifying under the interlacing of light and shadow: "The wound is infected, and it will die the day you come back."

"No wonder I haven't seen her in the past few days." The young man's soft tone revealed infinite regret, "I still want to chase after her."

Liu Sansan said: "You can continue chasing her after saving her."

"The relationship between Aoki and Mr. Sekiguchi is so good that it makes people jealous," Ichimaru Yin dragged the topic further and further away, "The injured she relaxed from my hand to Mr. Sekiguchi's hand, ah yes, what did she do just now Kick you?"

"Because I teased her."

The arc of Ichimaru Gin's mouth did not change at all: "Ah, that's right."

The candles in the room were extinguished instantly, and the drowsy air became clear at the same time.

With a tight neck, Ichimaru Gin was crushed to the ground without any resistance.

The vision stabilized, and the boy saw the lively face of the girl sentenced to death.

Aoki Qingtong pressed on Ichimaru, pinching his neck with one hand: "Ichimaru Gin, what I hate the most is a smart and cunning guy like you."

28 stood up, walked around the two children and grabbed Liu Sansan by the collar, roaring like a lion: "Pass!"

Liu Sansan's expression was confused: "W-Where did I show my feet?"

Ichimaru seemed to see a "well" character appearing on Aoki's forehead, and the girl was furious: "It won't work the day I come back, I didn't have the strength to kick you just now!"

Liu Sansan's expression was blank, and 28 opened the door and threw him out: "Aoki, give Ichimaru silver to you, and I'll clean up the gate."

The old man went out, turned around and closed the door, and finally cast his gaze on Ichimaru with a sharpness that seemed to be able to pierce people.

Ichimaru Gin's heart shivered, and the grinning expression remained on his face: "Oh, it's scary."

Aoki silently looked down at him.

"No one should read Sekiguchi-san's novels, right?" said Ichimaru, "How did he get to where he is today?"

"Little Aoki, how did you do it? I really didn't have a heartbeat just now." Ichimaru's gaze slowly followed the hand pinching his neck upwards. There were no blackened and rotten wounds, and pieces of black blood scabs were grim Covered on the arms that are extraordinarily white due to the perennial lack of sunlight.Because of the action just now, the wound burst open, and fresh red blood snaked down, "Hey, little Aoki, it's bleeding."

"Don't worry about it."

"It's so sad, I'm willing to die for you." Ichimaru smiled, turned over vigorously, and pressed Aoki under him, the half-length hair of the two of them crossed in the air, for a moment, suppressed and suppressed "But before that, tell me what just happened. A smart and cunning guy like me hates being kept in the dark."

Aoki remained silent, with a cold light shining in his green eyes.

With a "crack", a spark burst out from the extinguished candle.

Aoki slowly opened his mouth, and pressed his bloody fingers on Iichimaru's shoulder: "One of the broken ways, rush."

Kido, who only exerted one-tenth of his strength, ejected the boy back a short distance, and Aoki took the opportunity to escape from Ichimaru's imprisonment.

She retreated to the door to block the only exit: "You should know that the people in the worm's lair hate restraint the most."

"Ichimaru Gin, recognize the situation, you have no right to ask questions, you can only obey us." The murderous aura trained in the field of life and death burst out, even without the support of Reiatsu, this momentum is still frightening.

Ichimaru Gin raised his finger and put it down again: "Okay, I will cooperate."

The boy smiled without any fear: "I believe that one day Xiao Aoki will tell me all the secrets." After a pause, he added, "Voluntarily."

"The barrier of the Worm's Nest is broken, we need to find a chance to escape." Aoki pressed the most bleeding wound, "We need to increase our combat power."

"Who does 'we' refer to?"

"Knowingly asking."

"What are you going to do with the other prisoners?"

"We will release the news. They are responsible for creating chaos. As for whether they can also escape, it depends on their own abilities."

"So what do I need to do now?"

"Stay under my nose and don't run around."

Ichimaru Gin tilted his head: "Do you want to sleep too? I'm sorry."

Aoki Qingtong smiled.

The fox's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth were drawn into a flat arc. In an instant, her childish face was astonishingly beautiful, full of coquettishness.

"You can try it if you want." She sneered.

"Forget it, I'm shy." Ichimaru slumped his shoulders regretfully, "But I finally believed in one sentence——"

"Little Aoki, you do know how to laugh."

Aoki Qingtong returned to her expressionless face, probably because of the influence of that smile just now, her expression didn't seem as dull as before.

She said: "After I met you, I found that the smile is not as connotative as my mother said, and more often it is just a mask."

Ichimaru was dissatisfied: "My smiling face shows my true feelings."

Aoki didn't buy it: "I can see it, it's true."
