you turned on the love game

The table lamp on the table is lit with a warm orange light, and the boy's eyes are covered with dark shadows. In the midst of drunkenness, for a moment, you thought it was the blackness in his eyes that flowed out.

You rubbed the temples of your forehead and looked closely again, but found nothing.

His eyes fell on the book in his hand, the lower half of his face was completely blocked by his hands, and the white fingers reflected a faint light.

The shadow floating under your eyes that you saw just now has disappeared.

Maybe you read it wrong, just as you were thinking about it, you saw Kuroro slowly put down the hand covering his face and asked, "Where are you going?"

You said softly: "Leave Meteor Street and go outside to find someone."

I originally planned to call Linna and Hisoka directly in 86 and ask them to come to you, but I didn't expect that there would be a chance to go out.

"..." Kuroro stared at the words on the paper with a gloomy expression, and didn't speak until you drank all the fruit wine in the glass.

After drinking, the heat rushed to your cheeks, and you pressed the back of your hand against your face, still feeling a little hot. Your eyes fell on the young man who didn't know what he was thinking, and the coldness covering his body immediately attracted your attention.

Your elbows rest on the back of the chair, propping up your body, the movement of the sofa surface undulating pulls Kuroro out of his trance, and then you move over and sit cross-legged beside him.

Leaning on the soft pillow, you tilt your head and ask him, "What are you thinking?"

Kuroro likes to ask why, and he also likes to think. It stands to reason that he should ask you the reason after learning the news, but unexpectedly he didn't say anything, which is not in line with his personality.

"..." You put your face in the crook of your arms, the corners of your lips raised slightly, your eyelids became a little heavy due to sleepiness, and the figure of the boy in your vision blurred, but he still didn't say a word.

Silence spread silently in the room.

The young man turned his back to you, keeping his head down and his eyes down all the time.

You quietly looked at the back of his head in this silence, and suddenly a strange idea popped into your mind.

Kurolo...do you not want you to leave?Will he speak up?

As soon as the idea comes up, you feel a little funny.

No matter judging from the teenager's usual behavior patterns or his personality, he is unlikely to be a person with such emotions.

You patted yourself on the head lightly, secretly thinking too much.

After a few minutes, Kuroro finally spoke.

"I didn't think about anything."

Move your hands to the sides of the book, and snap the book shut again, and then the deep boyish voice enters your ears.

"I see." He was replying to your previous sentence.

You put your chin on your arm and smiled.

Sure enough, I thought too much.

The next day, Kuroro didn't go out, so you called back the knight who hadn't been at home for several days, and then informed the doctor to let Madge come back, and lie down on the sofa and wait for them to come to you.

Soon, the chivalrous man rushed through the door like a gust of wind: "You came to me suddenly, do you have something important to announce?"

You nodded and said, "Well, that's it."

He poured a glass of water for the blond boy who was sitting on the chair, "Take a rest, we will talk together when Maggie comes back."

Holding the water glass, the knight rolled his eyes twice, guessing that it might be something about the team that Kuroro had told him, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and the emerald green color shrunk into a thin slit.

However, when he looked at Kuroro, the latter did not respond.

The dark shattered hair hangs down in front of the eyes, and those eyes are usually gentle in this house, but at this moment there is an imperceptible coldness.

The knight's smile was slightly startled, and he keenly noticed something was wrong.

After Ma Qi comes back, tell them all about your past experience, together with the curse that has been planted in your body that you cannot leave Meteor Street, and finally tell them that the Exorcist will be taken to Meteor Street soon.

"..." After you finished speaking, none of the three children made a sound.

However, their responses varied.

Madge pursed her lips tightly and stared at you closely;

The smile on the knight's face became brighter and brighter, and then he took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it;

Only Kuroro didn't raise his head from the beginning to the end.

After a while, the knight suddenly raised his hand like a curious baby: "Has the teacher killed the man who cursed you?"

You froze for a moment, then shook your head: "Not yet..."

Thinking of the dead is not easy to get rid of, you laughed unhurriedly, and said softly: "Now is not the time."

They didn't say anything more, the incident seemed to pass easily, nothing you imagined happened, even the most sensitive girl just looked at you silently.

But in the sparring a few days later, Madge's state was not quite right.

You failed to seize the opportunity where you could counterattack several times, but you seized the opportunity and quickly fell to the ground.

She was lying on the cushion, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

You sit beside her: "March, you are not in the right state."

Thinking that something troubled her, you reached out to smooth her messy forehead and asked, "Did something happen?"

What you didn't expect was that the girl who was just stunned when she heard the news a few days ago suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of your clothes, staring at you with light brown eyes, and asked seriously: "Lucia, can you not leave? "

Your eyes froze slightly, and you said softly, "I'm going out to find someone."

The hand holding the corner of your clothes tightened slightly, you sighed silently, and suddenly asked, "Are you going to leave with me?"

The purple-haired girl froze slightly, slowly let go of the hand holding the corner of your clothes, and then looked at the roof behind you, her voice was cold.

"No..."

You followed her gaze, and suddenly found that Kuroro was sitting on the roof, watching your positions quietly.With his back to the light, his entire face seemed to be shrouded in shadow.

I don't know how long he watched it.

Just as you were about to say hello, he jumped off the roof and left.

Eh?

Confused, you lowered your half-lifted arm, and you turned your gaze back to Ma Qi, and unexpectedly found that she was hanging her head, squatting down and asking, "Why don't you want to leave with me?"

The girl raised her face and said to you: "We have many other partners. By then...you won't want to, Lucia."

The brown pupils glowed pale golden in the sunlight, and it was the first time you saw such penetrating eyes on her body, as if there was a secret hidden deep under the calm surface that you didn't know.

"We decided to take a different path than yours," she said.

You were slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what Ma Qi meant, and asked suspiciously: "It means that you have your own path ahead, which doesn't coincide with my goal, so you can't go together, is that so?"

Ma Qi was silent for a few seconds, and said softly: "You can also say the same."

Now you understood what she meant, so you laughed helplessly: "Well, then there is nothing you can do, you have to take care of yourself."

Her eyes trembled slightly, and she suddenly avoided your sight.

the other side……

Kuroro quickly found the knight's position.

The latter sat in front of the computer, with the blue light of the computer in his eyes: "I found it. The person who cursed her was hiding under the protection of another manager in the second district. He was afraid of being retaliated and never showed up."

"But she hasn't made a move in the past few years. This guy feels that he is safe. He is planning to make a fortune and leave Meteor Street. He is easily hooked. But when you meet, you have to pretend, he should know you."

A heavily shielded man was displayed on the screen, he was the cursed mind-like ability user who was working behind Luska back then.

The picture on the screen was reflected in the dark and deep pupils, and a dark emotion appeared in the depths of the young boy's eyes.

Kurolo said: "Well. The time is about tonight."

The knight made an "OK" gesture, paused, and asked again: "Are you sure? She hasn't killed this guy, it should be because she has scruples..."

"It's hard to get rid of the thoughts of the dead."

Kuroro answered the words calmly, and then talked about the scene he saw on the roof just now: "March took the initiative to keep her, but she refused."

The knight didn't speak any more, and tapped the keyboard quickly.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow shuttled through the streets and arrived at the destination. After receiving the signal, he opened the door and walked in. He saw a person sitting in the room. This person was covered with a dark cloak.

Soi Ying was a little anxious: "Tell me, whose life do you want."

The cloak smiled softly: "Whoever it is?"

Heiying frowned: "That's right. But the price must be as agreed. If you hadn't paid most of the money in advance, I would never have taken the initiative to leave the second district and come here."

"Don't worry, it will be fine soon."

The man in the cloak said so, slowly took off the clothes that covered him, and then said with a smile, "Borrow your life for a little bit."

……

A remote ordinary house in the fifth district.

The room that was originally lit was suddenly dark. The man's yelling only stopped abruptly for a second, and then fell silent again. The fabric wrapped around the eaves swayed gently in the night wind.

Moonlight shines into the room through the yellowed glass windows.

The shadows cast by the windows are reflected on the ground, and the whole space presents a transparent blue color, as if in the deep sea.

The black-haired boy turned his back to the window, and the shadow spread from under his feet, quickly crawling along the ground to the corner of the room.

There stood a mutilated figure fixed on the wall.

More than half of the head was bitten off, and the left leg and the right half of the body have disappeared.But the expression on his face was still vivid, his eyes were protruding, and a terrified voice came out of his wide-open mouth.

"Why... why am I still alive!!"

A long monster covered with bone spurs suddenly appeared beside Kuroro, swam around him like a fish, returned to the human figure, and bit off his other leg.

There are several other monsters of the same appearance in the room, they gracefully swing their bone tails, their fins shake constantly as they swim, and their smooth skeletons glow with a dim blue light in the moonlight.

"Hehe...haha! Kill me! Kill me quickly!!"

Kuroro was indifferent to his collapse, looked down at the text on "The Ultimate Intention of Thieves", and said slowly: "This fish is called secret room fish, and it is a kind of fish that can only live in a closed room."

"It is a carnivorous fish with a special preference for human flesh. People who are bitten do not feel any pain and do not bleed."

While he was speaking, the person who was pinned to the wall by the dagger was bitten off by Nianyu again, leaving only half of his face and left half of his chest. He seemed to have collapsed and could only scream repeatedly.

With a faint smile on Kuroro's face, he continued, "As long as the Nianyu doesn't disappear, you will never die."

The fish floated in the air, and the pure white skeleton slowly swam to other places, revealing the exposed internal organs after being bitten off.

Generally speaking, Kuroro is impatient to wait for Nianyu to eat up. When the enemy is almost eaten, he will leave the closed environment directly, and the scene will always be covered with blood fragments.

But today is different——

He needs to leave no suspicious traces at the scene.

It wasn't until Nianyu gnawed the last piece of his body that Kuroro slowly closed "The Thief's Ultimate Intention", then turned and opened the window.

Behind him is a room that is as clean as ever, the ground reflects the clear moonlight and the elongated shadow of the boy;

In front of him was a quiet street, and ordinary residential buildings were lined up one after another nearby.

The night wind stirred the boy's hair, he closed his eyes, raised his face slightly, and carefully felt the wind mixed with the atmosphere of Meteor Street.

A pure smile appeared on that childish face.

He said, "Now... it's the reading of the dead."

Kuroro walked back to the house in the tenth district under the moonlight, his eyes fell on the lit room, his footsteps paused slightly, and then he turned to the lit room.

In the room, you lay unconscious on the soft chair.

After seeing the boy appearing, he waved to him, and sat up when he walked over: "Why did you just walk away when you saw me this morning?"

He bent down and sat next to you and said, "It's a little bit."

You looked at him suspiciously, and put the question aside: "I asked Ma Qi, but after thinking about it, I should ask you again. The phone number of the knight cannot be reached, so I will ask you first..."

"Kurolo, are you willing to leave with me?"

"..." Kuroro leaned his head on the back of the chair, did not answer your question, but said something similar to March: "We have many partners."

He turned his head and stared at your face with his dark eyes: "Is Lucia going to take us away?"

You are slightly taken aback.

"Is it the partner you said will join the same team?"

"Well. It's them."

You are a little curious: "What kind of team?"

After a pause, you feel that your expression is not very clear, so you ask a different way, "What is your philosophy... or purpose?"

"idea?"

Kuroro repeated the word and laughed out loud, his pupils revealing a very faint dark breath.

He said to you calmly, "Go wild."

"..." The smile on your face gradually faded, the hands on the back of the sofa chair were slightly tightened, and you opened your mouth, but seeing the calm expression on the young man's face, you just said: "This is different from my philosophy. Too much the same."

"Well, I think so too."

Kuroro said to you kindly: "After all, Lucia knows at a glance that she is not the type to do such a thing."

You suddenly remembered what Maggie said to you during the day. She knew your character well, so she was sure that you would not be willing. In this case——

"Then why did you invite me a few days ago?"

It is impossible for Kuroro not to think of the choice you will make.

"..." There was an unspeakable silence in the room.

A few seconds later, the boy stared at the patterns on the ceiling. The delicate and complex patterns slowly melted into a puddle of invisible ink in his dark eyes, spreading in all directions along the gap.

He tilted his head and chuckled suddenly: "Yes..."

As if falling into a kind of confusion that I couldn't understand, I couldn't figure out why I made such a move, and said slowly, "Why."

Kuroro raised his palm to cover his lips, his dark eyes fell on the floor covered with strange lines, those lines twisted together crookedly as if they were alive.

It's like the thoughts that have become inexplicably confused at the moment.

It's hard to be at peace.

He lowered his eyes and murmured, "Why would I do this."

The black-haired boy bent over slightly, propped his face with his palms, and you looked at him, tightening your fingers slightly on your knees: "So, it's impossible for you to leave with me, right?"

Perhaps because of poor contact, the lamp suddenly flickered.

At that moment, the boy's eyes in the crevice of the hanging hair overflowed with a strange darkness, which is the unique coldness of Meteor Street people.

Kuroro put down his hand and laughed slowly: "Leave?"

The boy opened his eyelids and turned his head to look at you. The movement of lowering his head slightly made a dark shadow appear on his face.

He said, "None of us will leave Meteor Street, Lucia."
