Chapter 78: Kidnapped!
Chapter 78
Romantic relationship?
Kurokawa Kaoru's eyes widened, and he looked at the other person with almost "horror": "Why do you think so?"
"Isn't it?"
Gong You looked confused. "Before, I said I didn't know you, and that guy called me a scumbag. How could an ordinary friend use the word 'scumbag'?"
Kurokawa Kaoru: ...
"That's because Hei Yu likes to exaggerate. Seriously, don't try to scare me with something like that."
"Feel sorry."
It's all your fault. He rolled his eyes at a certain talkative person, who then looked up at the sky with a dry laugh, refusing to even glance at him. Kurokawa Kaoru snorted coldly, rolling his eyes in annoyance. "Let's not even mention that I'm still in high school. Even if we were really in that relationship, do you think I'd treat you like that?"
"Hearing you put it that way, it seems like there's nothing wrong with it."
"That's how it is, right?"
Since Kurokawa Kaoru had said so, how could Miya Yu not understand? However, for misunderstanding the relationship between him and Kurokawa Kaoru, he did not feel embarrassed at all, and even felt a little regretful.
If you think about it, it's true. Even in a parallel world, Gong Yoo is still Gong Yoo. He won't become something else just because he's in a different world. No one knows what Gong Yoo was like in high school better than Gong Yoo himself.
Just...how should I put it?
To a certain extent, he is quite annoying, and it is obvious that he has no chance of falling in love.
Thinking of this, Gong You lowered his eyes and said, "What are you going to do next?"
"After all, this is the world ten years later, or even a parallel world. You can't stay here forever."
What Miya Yuu said was also what Kurokawa Kaoru was struggling with - according to what he had heard from Sawada Tsunayoshi before, a bazooka that could take people to the future sounded magical, but precisely because it was too magical, its validity period was only five minutes.
But more than five minutes had passed since they arrived here.
It can't be that because this is not their world, the speed of time flows differently, right?
"That's because there's no going back for you two trash."
“…”
What is this sound?
Kurokawa Kaoru's eyes widened and he turned around suddenly.
"XANXUS?"
"I don't know why you know me, but you look really ugly."
"...To say something like that, you're XANXUS after all."
After all, having experienced the Battle for the Ring, Kurokawa Kaoru was already accustomed to Xanxus' tone. Unconcerned with his disdain for his female attire, Kurokawa Kaoru blinked and said, "Why do you say we can't go back? Also, the Xanxus in this world shouldn't recognize me, so why am I here?"
"Of course, it's because a guy named Kurokawa Kaoru gave me one million yen and asked me to come here to find you and pass on this message."
In fact, the Kurokawa Kaoru in this world did come to see XANXUS, but it was not as simple as he said.
A month ago, a man named Kurokawa Kaoru suddenly appeared in front of XANXUS. The other party hoped that he could help convey a message for him, but for XANXUS, this sounded like a meaningless thing. Even if he was given 10 million yen, he would not do it.
Not to mention, what he hated most was that commanding tone. So when he heard the man's words, his first reaction was to pull out his double guns and attack the other party.
His attack was so fast that the man had no time to dodge. He paid no attention to the blood splattering all over his body. He met XANXUS's scrutinizing gaze, the corners of his lips curled upwards, and he clearly heard what he said.
"Please help me convey this because you are the most suitable person to do this right now. After all, it's you who said it, and I believe that person won't doubt it."
"Besides this one million yen, I can guarantee that this world's timeline will return to the right track, and the Vongola guy... will appear in public again."
"Rubbish."
Hearing the meaning behind the man's words, XANXUS frowned and looked at him expressionlessly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I know the secret of the Vongola, and I also know why that person disappeared. The reason I found you is that I hope to correct the timeline."
Apart from the other party's guardian, only Varian's people knew about that person, so the man must have found out about it through some unconventional means.
But...it doesn't matter.
"I can help you convey that you don't have to accept the one million yen, but if I find out you're being clever, the outcome won't be what you said. Believe me... you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Everyone in the Mafia knows that Varian is a member of the Vongola assassination team. How could I possibly joke with my own life?"
Being grabbed by the collar, the man chuckled softly, his pale face making the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth look even more red.
"You just need to help convey my message. As for the outcome, when the time comes, someone will naturally come to prove for me that what I said is correct."
“…”
“Tsk.”
XANXUS frowned irritably.
He's a piece of trash who always likes to keep people in suspense. Next time I meet him, I will kill him.
However... before killing the other party, he still had to tell the little ghost in front of him what he promised to convey to the other party.
"That jerk named Kurokawa Kaoru said, if you want to know the secret of all this, then do everything you can in this world, otherwise you will end up repeating the same mistakes."
As XANXUS finished speaking, Kurokawa Kaoru also fell silent.
Here we go again. He thought to himself. Whether it was Kudo Shinichi or XANXUS, this self in this world had already guessed what they would think ten years after arriving here. Thinking back to XANXUS's words, "There's no going back," and then adding to them... repeating the same mistakes?
Does this mean that if I don’t discover the secret of this world, there is no way to go back?
Not being able to go back means that the Kurokawa Kaoru in the world he really lives in no longer exists, and to a certain extent it also represents the death of "Kurokawa Kaoru". Isn't this just repeating the same mistakes?
Thinking about these messy things in his mind, Kurokawa Kaoru closed his eyes, as if he had figured something out, and raised his eyes to meet XANXUS's gaze.
"Besides this sentence, there should be other things that I need you to convey, right?"
"You're smarter than I thought, trash."
As if he had discovered some interesting toy, XANXUS raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Kurokawa Kaoru.
"Although I just thought so, but...you and that guy should be the same person, right?"
XANXUS's gaze was like a ferocious beast waiting for its chance to strike, clinging to him tightly. Kurokawa Kaoru's body froze under his gaze, and a chill ran down his spine.
So this is the real Xanxus, he thought to himself. During the battle for the ring, he had simply thought that the other party was a picky, childish, annoying person who, driven by his own obsessions, would even do things that harmed others and himself.
But now Kurokawa Kaoru finally understood that XANXUS had restrained himself somewhat at that time. Because of his relationship with Sawada Tsunayoshi, from their first meeting, he had not shown any hostility towards him, and naturally had no intention of killing him.
Compared to that time, XANXUS is now ten years older. The murderous aura surrounding him is almost materializing, and the deterrence he brings has increased exponentially.
If I lie to this person, he will kill me without hesitation.
After quickly figuring out all these things in his mind, Kurokawa Kaoru clenched his fists and said in a flat voice, "You're right."
"I am indeed Kurokawa Kaoru."
"really."
Hearing his voice, XANXUS laughed, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
"You smell exactly like that garbage."
Actually using smell to distinguish a person... Kurokawa Kaoru's expression changed slightly and he also laughed.
"Are you a dog? XANXUS."
"I wouldn't mind killing you right here, trash."
"Why not?"
"You seem to be trying to irritate me."
XANXUS wasn't as angry as Kurokawa Kaoru had imagined. He raised his eyebrows, grabbed Kurokawa Kaoru's collar, and lifted him up: "I'm more interested in the timeline that guy mentioned. Before you completely lose my patience, I don't mind letting you live for two more days."
Kurokawa Kaoru: ...
He's clearly someone who gets angry easily, so why is he so difficult to deal with?
XANXUS was right; he was indeed trying to provoke the other party. He didn't believe a single word of what his other self said. If, as Cerbero said, everything he had experienced was to fulfill a single wish, then how could this world, which had only happened ten years later, solve the problem of his rebirth?
According to Kurokawa Kaoru's original idea, if XANXUS could be provoked by him, he might shoot him, so that he could die.
However, Kurokawa Kaoru quickly realized how extreme his choice was - he had clearly seen in the illusion how much pain the people around him were in because of his death, but because he was trapped in the world ten years later, he wanted to solve it through death.
Fortunately, XANXUS was not angered by him. Seeing the sarcastic smile on his face, for a moment, Kurokawa Kaoru felt a little relieved in his heart.
"Now that you've figured it out, can we go now?"
XANXUS spoke at the right time.
Hearing the other party's voice, Kurokawa Kaoru was stunned for a moment. Before he could think of what to ask the other party, he was grabbed by XANXUS around the waist.
The next second, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
TBC.
