Chapter 4
When the ten huge mechas stood up with a hum, Shi Yu even felt the ground tremble slightly.
Not a model.
Having indeed seen someone jump into the machine, Shi Yu opened her bright eyes wide with a look of surprise. She stared at the mecha in disbelief, and then Wayne suddenly grabbed her arm in the midst of the noise without saying a word.
Shi Yu shuddered and took a deep breath: "Huh? That...!"
The next moment, a slight blush of excitement appeared on the girl's fair cheeks. She got excited and, like she usually did when acting coquettishly to her grandmother, she grabbed Wayne's hand and raised it to her chest. From bottom to top, she looked at Wayne with a completely sincere gaze and asked in a soft and trembling voice, "Is that true?!"
Seeing the girl, who had always been a little afraid of him, make such an active contact for the first time, Wayne's entire arm stiffened slightly. He was silent for a moment, let out a bored "ah", and replied without any emotion, "That kind of rubbish."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Leisurely feeling the warmth of the girl's grasping right hand, Wayne casually let her lead him, raising his chin to gesture behind him. The prickly young man, like a comforted cat, rarely failed to scare Shigure into silence with his cold attitude and words. He simply said, "Go inside."
After saying that, he took two steps forward, but Shi Yu was still staring at the mechas that were rumbling outside and surrounding the plain. He stood there in a daze, and his clasped hands naturally separated due to the distance.
Wayne: “…”
His green eyes narrowed slightly, his expression darkened again, and he called out to Shi Yu in a terrifying voice, "Hey." He said, "Do you want to die?"
"Eh? No no no no no!!" The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it woke the black-haired girl up instantly. She seemed to realize her distraction just now and followed with a look of horror on her face.
"..." Wayne closed his eyes, and his military jacket was thrown up and draped over his shoulders. The boy turned and strode inside. Shigure followed Wayne tremblingly, and heard his flat, slightly hoarse voice echoing above his head: "You know nothing."
——That’s true, and the only person who could ask about her current situation was so fierce that she didn’t dare to ask.
Completely unaware that the boy was actually asking a question, Shigure nodded twice dejectedly: "Yes..."
Wayne stopped talking. Shigure trotted to catch up with him. Soon they were very close to where the teenagers gathered. Facing the gazes of his peers who were getting closer and closer, Wayne's pair of green eyes were gloomy in the darkness. When they were still some distance away, the front end of his military boots touched the ground, making a slight thud, and he stopped calmly.
The smell of charcoal, along with a hint of a strange perfume-like scent, rushed into Shigure's nostrils. She wailed inwardly and silently moved a little closer to Wayne. Actually, the smell of chili peppers was quite pleasant...
Seeing him coming, most of his peers were slightly surprised and then didn't care much. A few teenagers stood up and were eager to try. They pointed the gun barrels and other things in their hands at Wayne, laughing happily, but Wayne didn't even bother to look at them.
He glanced at the center, his handsome and stern face calm - there was still a mecha here that had not been started, and the teenagers who were talking to the mecha did not pay much attention to Wayne, but talked and laughed among themselves.
In the center of the crowd, Noah, who was being stared at by Wayne, gave him an understanding smile. He smiled and said something to the teenagers around him. Then the boy with silver hair and purple eyes tilted his head slightly behind Wayne, with curiosity hidden in his gentle purple eyes.
Wayne lowered his eyes, his ten fingers in half black gloves clenched quietly. He moved left a step inconspicuously, blocking Shi Yu behind him tightly, like a ferocious beast guarding its food.
"Don't let me catch you lying... or I'll kill you."
What happened again...
Shi Yu, who was busy pinching his nose behind Wayne, was stunned when he heard this warning: "I won't lie. I won't lie to others."
At this moment, she was not at all frightened by the word "kill". She would not do such a thing. Hearing this, Wayne chuckled softly, at least giving a lukewarm response.
Shi Yu was still a little depressed. There was really no sense of communication like this. At least she should say something so that she would have the confidence when she asked where this place was later.
There was no fire here, but the young men gathered here seemed to have lighting tools such as flashlights. A few small clusters of light kept the place a little dimly visible. Wayne took her to a place in this open space and sat down. It was a little far away from the crowd, but Shi Yu could hear some of their conversation.
"What is this time..."
"Oh... Phil's gone."
"The most difficult part of Night Walk isn't the perimeter." Someone scoffed. "We'll see who it is later... There are always unlucky ones."
"Oh, if we can't hold on here, we're going to suffer." The conversation that was originally heard in my ears was a little vague, but the voice of a young man with a smile suddenly became clear.
Shi Yu hummed, hugged his knees, and turned his head curiously to look diagonally behind where the sound came from.
The young man sitting nearby seemed to be talking to her specifically. His eyes were bright, and he casually pointed at his solar plexus to Shi Yu, who was looking over at him. He smiled and said, "Spiritual power, you should know this, right? So it's better not to think about bad things. Hmm... this is my personal advice?"
The end of his voice rose frivolously, with a nonchalant air, but the content was indeed a warning that sounded somewhat earnest.
This voice feels a bit familiar...
In the dim light, Shi Yu blinked and couldn't see the boy's appearance clearly. She looked at Wayne inquiringly, frowned in confusion, and turned her gaze back to the strange boy. A slight vigilance appeared on her soft and fair face.
"Talk." The boy chuckled, "Don't be like Wayne. You have such a cute face, you should know how to use it."
What's the use of it? Feeling a little embarrassed by this strange wording, Shi Yu glared at the boy with bright eyes and whispered back, "No way."
The boy chuckled, then rubbed his hair and laughed out loud. His eyes curved like a fox's, narrow and long. "Hahahaha, not bad, you're doing fine..." The rest of the sentence was a little unclear, but he then asked in a very familiar tone, "Hey, what's your name? Tell me?"
Just like meeting classmates for the first time in school.
Shi Yu unconsciously glanced to the side. The red-haired boy had his arms resting on his knees, his emerald eyes slightly closed, his lips tightly drawn, and his fingers, wearing half a black glove, were playing with a few blades of grass. His handsome face revealed an undisguised indifference.
Ever since that somewhat nagging person started talking to him, he had been looking completely uninterested, silently staying out of their conversation.
Wayne, Wayne! Shi Yu looked at him and sighed in his heart. So this is his name...
In fact, Shi Yu was still a little scared, but she quietly observed Wayne's profile, which always looked a bit gloomy - perhaps the man's question might be a good opportunity to introduce herself, and maybe she also wanted him to get familiar with her as soon as possible... The black-haired girl's voice quietly became a little louder.
"My name is Shigure..."
"What a nice name!" the young man behind him praised immediately. "It's a common name over there. Could it be that we're still, oh..." He paused, then smiled and brushed it off lightly. "Call me Xiao, it's an easy name to remember. Remember it, okay?"
"Okay." She agreed obediently, "It's a single word..."
"Yeah, so—hmm?"
When a wisp of solidified wind blew past his ears, the boy named Xiao looked up at the dark sky and slowly stood up. Unlike his handsome and gentle facial features, which had a hint of romanticism due to his distinctive eyes, he was not very thin, and the muscles on one of his exposed arms were smooth and firm.
"I haven't finished talking yet..." Akatsuki clapped his hands lightly in the quiet night. He looked at the black-haired girl a few steps away with amusement. The girl suddenly showed a look of pain. He chuckled to himself and said, "What should I do?"
He really didn't expect to find unexpected fun in this boring and tedious simulated combat. He just watched the Bmega's petite and weak body trembling, his eyes unfocused as he fell to one side - and was held up by Wayne with a frown.
It really falls down at the slightest touch... Yes, even Betas with B-level or higher psychic powers are rare, not to mention Bmegas who are even weaker among Betas and are mostly the reproductive parents even in double-B families.
Actually, Bmega isn't an orthodox term. Because Betas are so numerous compared to the precious Omegas, most Alphas refer to Betas with some Omega traits as Bmega. Many Alphas also consider Bmega as a second-tier mate choice—in short, it's still a popular type.
It's just that the place where this child appeared and the people he met were not ordinary, which was a pity...
Xiao looked at the scene over there with ease, having no desire to get involved. He shrugged, and when he took the first step in the opposite direction, he bent down, and red flames quickly passed over his head.
"What are you doing..." After dodging a wave of attacks from his teammates, Xiao straightened up and patted his head nonchalantly, his narrow eyes smiling lazily. "Don't bring me along for this kind of trouble, Master Wayne."
"Come here," Wayne said. "You're useful."
...Okay.
So the young Alpha from the East Country arched his back slightly as usual, raised his legs and walked back. Although he had a faint smile on his face, he didn't seem to be very reluctant.
He approached Shi Yu, stroking his chin thoughtfully as he studied the girl's delicate face, which had grown increasingly pale due to the pain. He sighed softly, "It's not easy..." He then reminded Wayne responsibly, "There's only so much I can do. I can only replenish her mental strength. It really depends on our little spy herself. Taking out your anger on others is not a good thing, right?"
"..." He didn't say anything. Does this mean that even he himself is not confident about this Beta?
Xiao gave up on his messy nonsense and thought without any emotion. He poked Beta's cheek, and the high temperature was transmitted to him through his fingertips. For a moment, the black-haired Eastern boy's back stiffened slightly as if he was burned. He twitched his eyebrows and retracted his fingers. A rare complicated expression appeared on his face, which was always at ease.
The girl's cheeks flushed wetly. She closed her eyes, leaning weakly and helplessly on Wayne's shoulder, tears streaming silently. Crystal-clear liquid, mixed with sweat, fell into her long hair, and the soft strands at her neck were also wet, nestling in her small, well-proportioned collarbone... It seemed that she would be unable to respond to any external stimuli for quite some time.
This is difficult, Xiaoxiang.
Beta lost consciousness due to mental exhaustion, and he, who had the most mental power, was coerced by a young master and seemed to have to come into close contact with the other party's mental power.
But when rescuing this Beta who looked very pleasing to the eye, Kamiya Akatsuki couldn't help but take another thing into consideration.
——Compared to Beta, Alpha's overwhelmingly powerful mental power can easily read the opponent's chaotic consciousness fragments during the mental link.
Even though Xiao had her own set of standards and wouldn't do something as immoral as "peeping," if the girl, now suspected of being a spy, unconsciously thought of something, the outcome would be different.
So, it’s best not to think about bad things... Xiao sighed in his heart and repeated the previous advice, otherwise it would be difficult to help even if he wanted to.
