Chapter 143

"Run!"

The tender voice of a child echoed in the forest of Whale Island. A little boy with a hedgehog head looked at the black-haired girl standing still in front of him, then rushed over and grabbed her hand.

The little boy grabbed the black-haired girl's wrist tightly and then dragged her to run wildly.

The sound of clattering kept chasing after me.

"You go first."

After the black-haired little girl finished speaking, she found that the boy in front of her didn't listen at all.

So he shouted again.

"Xiaojie!"

The black-haired girl shouted again, and this time the boy in front finally spoke.

"don't want."

“Never leave flowers behind.”

Xiaojie held Hua's wrist tightly. His hands were shaking, but his strength did not weaken at all.

Hua stared blankly at Xiaojie's back and didn't ask for anything else.

The forest fell silent again, with only the sound of footsteps and the friction between cloth and grass leaves continuing.

The sound of the chase behind was so clear that it made one's heart beat faster uncontrollably.

Under the dual torture of physical exhaustion and fear, Hua was enveloped in a deep sense of powerlessness.

"That consciousness! Where is it!?"

"Please! Can you please save us!"

Hua screamed in her heart, but she didn't stop and followed Xiaojie closely.

But how much physical strength could the two children have? Their steps had already become messy.

Xiaojie, who had been distractedly observing his surroundings, suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.

Hua stopped right in front of Xiaojie, and she immediately squatted down to help Xiaojie up.

But Xiaojie on the ground covered his ankle.

He fell quite hard this time.

The pain from trying to stand up just now made Xiaojie realize that it was impossible.

"You go."

Xiao Jie looked at Hua who was still supporting him and said it in a firm tone.

Hua was speechless at this time and could only shake her head. Her eyes were already red and tears covered her eyeballs.

"I can't leave."

Xiaojie was anxious, but he still tried hard to explain.

"Someone of us has to go back and tell Aunt Mitte about the situation."

But Hua just wouldn't listen to him. She tried hard with her hands to lift Xiaojie's body.

But no matter how hard Hua tried, she couldn't lift Xiaojie, let alone take him away.

She was a little annoyed and wanted to apologize, but was pushed by Xiaojie and fell to the ground.

Then Xiaojie's back blocked her in front.

Before Hua realized anything, the roar of animals was heard.

Xiaojie's body shook noticeably, but he still didn't leave.

"Hua, you'll take advantage of me being eaten later."

"Run quickly."

There was a tremor in Xiaojie's voice, and his voice was low.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you to the forest."

"Don't be afraid, brother will let you get out alive."

Although Xiaojie spoke very coolly, he was just a young child, and the last few sentences were obviously filled with tears.

At that time, Kate was hiding in the treetops, watching this touching story of brother and sister.

At this moment, I look at Killua who is trying hard to protect Gon.

He couldn't help but stare at it for a while.

But his gaze did not give Killua any warm feeling.

"I know you are going to do the task assigned by the association after all."

Killua said this with a stiff upper lip, he was really afraid that Kate would just leave here.

"But first that thing attracted a swarm of bugs."

"It's Hua who doesn't know how to live or die again."

"Then I almost died in front of Xiaojie."

Killua originally just wanted to act pitiful and show weakness in front of Kate.

After all, such an action will make the other party feel sympathy and pity for you, and it will be easier to persuade the other party to stay.

After saying those few words, Killua really couldn't control his collapse.

He held Xiaojie tightly in his arms, as if he was holding on to a last straw.

“I, I…”

The white-haired boy who has always been called a genius could not even form a complete sentence with the words that came to his mind.

What can I say to impress the person in front of me and make him stay?

Just say that you hope he stays to give Xiaojie hope?

Killua's brain was in a mess at this moment, and he couldn't find an answer at all.

"Xiao Jie..."

"Really..need one."

“Good news…”

Killua stared at the ground in a daze, his mind was blank and he was completely overwhelmed by confusion.

The whole sentence came out of his mouth instinctively.

Tears finally overflowed from Killua's eyes.

It hit Xiaojie's face with a crackling sound.

“Please…”

Killua's tears kept falling, his emotions clouded his brain, blocking out any interference and influence from the outside world.

So he never heard Kate calling him.

Kate actually came out of her memories when Killua was stuck.

It's a pity that Killua didn't hear his answer at all.

I don’t know what happened to this young man in front of me.

She cried like this just by talking.

It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.

Kate waited helplessly.

He looked at the person in front of him crying inconsolably, and his heart was broken.

Just like the Xiaojie he saw when he arrived.

"Is it too early after all?"

Kate was a little annoyed. He was not the kind of person who would blame himself. It was just that the situation before him was caused by his lack of consideration.

Whether it was the disappearance of the flower or the miserable appearance of Gon and Killua at that time.

Everything he entrusted to him was a joke.

I was still too careless.

Kate couldn't help but rub her forehead, looking at Killua who hadn't recovered yet, and just waited quietly.

The wind near the beach was refreshing, gently blowing through Kate's hair.

"Ki...Yukio?"

The hoarse and weak voice sounded in Killua's arms, like a dose of refreshing medicine.

It made Killua's nerves quickly active.

Killua immediately looked down at the person in his arms.

Xiaojie, who had just woken up, had not yet fully opened his eyes.

The expression can be described as somewhat empty and dazed.

It seems that he is still wavering in the previous emotion.

"Are you awake?"

"How does it feel?"

Kate's voice came from not far away, clearly asking about Xiaojie's situation.

Xiaojie blinked slowly.

His brain was a mess. After the intense emotions that had given him strength faded away, his excited nerves quickly relaxed.

"Am I dead?"

Gon said this dully, he had the impression that Killua stabbed his forehead right in front of him.

Then the fact that he can see Killua means he is dead too.

The ants wanted to eat them.

Thinking of this, Xiaojie felt anger rising up again.

He struggled to stand up, and Killua quickly supported Gon's back and gave him some strength.

"I'm fine."

"That…"

Before Killua could explain his situation clearly, he saw Gon's struggling movements stopped.

He looked at Kate who was standing not far away.

My eyes instantly turned red.

"Kate, you're dead too!"
