In the neon-lit city alley, the figure shrouded in a cloak was flung out by a ray of darkness, and fell onto the puddles of water. His whole body was soaked in an instant.
He got up and spit out the rainwater that he accidentally swallowed. He looked up and looked around, and then saw a petite figure in front of him.
The girl is like a ghost, wearing a long white dress, her skin is pale and bloodless, and she has a faint smile on her face. However, even though her face is delicate and cute, it cannot hide the spooky and weird feeling on her body.
Especially those black eyes, as dark and dead as a whirlpool.
"Qiu...zi?" The person on the ground got up, with a slightly surprised tone in his voice.
"Sister Xue Na, you didn't keep your appointment, so I came to find you." The girl tilted her head strangely and grinned.
When the eavesdropper just heard this, he took the initiative to take off the hood of his cloak, and the face turned out to be Xue Na.
She glanced at the girl standing in the shadow, then silently looked away, lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "Qiuzi, are you with that group of people?"
Xu Shuo smiled normally: "Then I won't save you."
Even though he wanted to be normal, he couldn't be normal.
After experiencing that bewitching feeling before, Xue Na now carefully looked away from him and asked: "What do you want me to do?"
Xu Shuo asked her back: "What are you doing there?"
Xue Na quickly glanced at the sinister girl, thought for a moment and said: "You said before that Teacher Changying clearly valued you more, but still agreed to let me compete. I was wondering if there might be a hidden secret in this, so
I followed him over to take a look, but I didn’t expect..."
What she said was half true and half false. Although there was indeed this reason, more importantly, it was for her own mission.
She just didn't expect that the abilities of that group of people were so terrifying, and she was almost forced to use their trump card.
Xu Shuo nodded, and the expression on his face looked like he didn't know whether he believed it or not.
Then, Xue Na asked: "What about you?"
"Do you know that something happened to Lan Ruo tonight?"
Xu Shuo suddenly approached her, and the ghostly figure was suddenly close at hand, with a small face glowing green and white, and the sinister aura scared Xue Na to stagger.
Plop!
Her center of gravity was unsteady, she stepped back and fell into the puddle, staring blankly at the girl who was approaching her.
Xu Shuo saw this and suppressed a smile: "Sorry, it's my first time to be a dead person, so I have no experience."
Xena came back to her senses and suddenly looked serious: "Are you a Death Eater?!"
No wonder the aura of this guy is always so weird, empty and cold, with a breath of death. Maybe the female police officer came to the dance studio not because of Teacher Changying, but because of her!
"It's not nice to call someone that." Xu Shuo smiled.
"Forget it, what do you want to do with me?" Xue Na stood up again, this time cautiously opening a distance of several meters.
"Are you going to beat me in the ballet performance in two days?" Xu Shuo asked.
Xena: "?"
Her expression was blank for a moment, and then she quickly reacted and looked at him with unknown meaning: "You just said something happened to Lan Ruo, and you are now a Death Eater and will definitely fail in the sacrifice ceremony, so you want me to play
?”
So, where does Qiuzi get the confidence to think that she is willing to take the initiative to be a bait?
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows and said "hmm".
Xue Na suddenly sneered and said, "You are really in the same group with those people. Who knows what those cultists are planning to summon? Why should I sacrifice myself!"
Xu Shuo looked at her quietly, then took a step closer.
However, Xue Na reacted quickly and took several steps back, standing directly at the entrance of the alley, facing the back of the street and reflecting the falling neon lights.
"Xue Na, you are very competitive."
At this time, the girl slowly spoke.
Those deep and dark eyes stared at her, and a devilish whisper sounded: "Even if you know that your foot is injured and you can't do intense movements, and you will definitely not be able to compete with us in the end, you will still go to the dance studio to train with us every day.
"
"Because you have hope in your heart, you think you might be lucky enough to win." Xu Shuo chuckled: "Xue Na, you really want to win this election and be the one to perform."
Xue Na didn't speak, but her heart trembled violently, and she almost couldn't maintain her calm facial expression.
She knew that she would definitely win the election, but she also wanted to know what she would face after winning so that she could be prepared, so this time she followed the shadow to investigate the situation.
Now that she understands the situation, Xue Na knows that she can run away as long as she gets the title of starring, and there is no need to participate in subsequent plots.
If you participate, you will die!
Only a fool would go!
Xu Shuo approached her at some point, staring at the girl with his empty black eyes, and said quietly: "If you cooperate with me, I will withdraw from the competition. If you don't cooperate with me... I will let you play again."
No chance at all!”
Xue Na raised her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, and whispered: "You can't do it."
"I'm not threatening your life." Xu Shuo tilted his head and looked at her mockingly: "I just told Teacher Changying no."
Xue Na: "..."
If this guy directly cancels the competition process, she will really have no choice!
After all, in Teacher Changying's plan, she is looking for a sacrifice that can bring out her own dark desires. Only in this way can she be the most suitable container.
With Qiuzi's current weird state, she really can't compare!
Thinking of this, Xue Na's eyes flashed with cruel light, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Then I will reveal your identity as a Death Eater!"
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows in surprise at her struggle, and then his expression became even more disgusting: "Are you stupid or am I stupid? If you tell me, will Teacher Changying still trust you?"
Xue Na: "..."
The heavy rain pattered on the ground, and the cool wind on the rainy night blew against her face, making Xue Na feel very cold.
Wait, why did I almost forget?
Her mission seems to be just to win!
Thinking about it this way, she can pretend to cooperate now, wait for the competition to end in three days, and leave this place directly!
After thinking about this for a moment, Xue Na raised her head, nodded angrily as if she was threatened, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I promise to cooperate with you!"
Xu Shuo raised a very gentle smile towards her.
But this smile, placed on Qiuzi's gloomy face, had no positive feelings at all other than being scary and weird.
"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate well, I won't let anything happen to you." Xu Shuo smiled.
Xue Na said nothing, glanced at him vaguely, took a few steps back, then turned around and quickly ran out of the alley, her figure quickly disappearing in the rain.
…
The water on the ground was heavily trampled. Xue Na walked under the neon lights with a gloomy expression. After staying away from the girl, her mind became clearer. She just thought of another thing.
She knows how to make mistakes, but what about Qiuzi?
Isn't Qiuzi afraid that she will regret it later?
Maybe... Akiko doesn't actually know that all she needs to do is win her mission?
Xue Na frowned and fell into deep thought, but the girl's pitiful and pleading look appeared in her mind.
