Amuro Toru pondered this in his mind until he separated from Gin and the others. However, when he passed an alley, he caught a glimpse of a hand reaching out towards him through the darkness.
Amuro Toru subconsciously tensed the muscles in his arms, and was about to throw a punch—
"Bourbon."
It’s Xiaokui!
His fist stopped in mid-air in an instant, and the sharp wind from the fist caused the bangs on Hoshino Aoi's forehead to sway twice. At the same time, she smelled the familiar scent at the tip of her nose.
This made him stunned.
And in just this moment of hesitation, the situation was completely reversed.
I saw Hoshino Aoi turn her right hand, and the hand that was originally stretched out towards his arm changed direction in mid-air and stretched out towards his raised right hand.
Then, while he was still stunned, she grabbed his wrist.
The honey color and white overlapped together, and the next second, Amuro Toru felt his eyes blurred.
"Pah—"
His body pressed against the wall, making a slightly dull sound, and the coolness that crawled up his back completely awakened his reason.
"Middles?"
He leaned his back against the wall and looked at Hoshino Aoi with a slightly frown, somewhat confused about what she was trying to do.
But she held his wrist with one hand, pushing him against the wall, and her other hand slowly moved up, inch by inch, and slowly landed on his injured shoulder.
The sound of fabric rubbing against each other rang in his ears, and for a moment, Amuro Toru even thought he heard his own heartbeat.
"Middles?"
He couldn't help but call her again.
A slightly hoarse voice echoed in the dim alley, and Toru Amuro was finally awakened to his senses by his own voice.
He ignored the hand that was already grasped by Hoshino Aoi and pressed against his head. Instead, he raised his other hand and, while reaching for the gun in his arms, bent his elbow to block Hoshino Aoi's fingers.
Hoshino Aoi's reaction was also extremely fast, but unlike the retreat he had imagined, she took a step forward after blocking his elbow with her palm.
The distance between them was already very close, and when she moved forward, her right leg was stuck between his legs...
Amuro Toru subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she pushed him against the wall and he couldn't move at all.
He tried to move his wrist.
It's useless.
I don't know where she got so much strength from.
Amuro Toru thought.
When I was in the police academy, I didn’t realize how strong she was.
Moreover, at that time, Xiao Kui was still a typical sports loser. No one knew when she started to become so powerful that she could even pin him against the wall and make him unable to move.
Could brainwashing have this effect?
For a moment, countless messy thoughts flashed through Toru Amuro's mind, but even so, he still remembered to maintain his image in the organization.
"Click—"
The sound of the safety being opened rang in her ears. Although she could not feel the cold touch through her clothes, it was impossible for Aoi Hoshino not to feel the threat.
However, as a person who did not show any fear on her face even when Gin's gun was pointed at her head, Hoshino Aoi naturally would not retreat at all because of the pistol against her waist.
"You're hurt, why?"
She seemed to completely ignore the threat behind her. Not to mention letting him go, she didn't even glance back. She was just focused on asking why he was injured.
Faced with her like this, Toru Amuro also had a headache.
Although he did point a gun at her, it was just to make her let go of him. If he really wanted to shoot, he would not shoot at Hoshino Aoi over such a trivial matter.
But……
He looked down at Hoshino Aoi, who was looking at him with sparkling eyes, obviously waiting for his answer.
Toru Amuro couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I was just accidentally injured during the last mission. It won't affect this mission."
"Yeah?"
Hoshino Aoi narrowed her eyes, and her fingers gently moved upwards and rested on his injured shoulder again. Feeling the slight tremor coming from under her fingertips, she paused, as if considering whether to let him go, so as not to pull his wound and make it worse.
However, when she saw Toru Amuro fooling her with a frivolous smile, Hoshino Aoi didn't know why, but suddenly remembered that he had never taken his body seriously since he was a child, and it didn't matter if he got injured in order to achieve his goals.
The hand that had been somewhat relaxed instantly pressed down again. At the same time, the finger that was lightly touching his wound also used some force, just enough to maintain the level that would not aggravate his injury, but still allow him to feel a slight pain.
"hiss……"
Caught off guard, Amuro Toru took a deep breath.
"Oh……"
Hoshino Aoi sneered:
"Is this the mission you said would not be delayed this time?"
Having said that, she still softened her stance.
"Tell me, who hurt you?"
Seeing that he was still trying to fool her, Hoshino Aoi raised her eyes, looked at him with a half-smile and said:
"I suppose you wouldn't want me to investigate on my own?"
Hearing this, Toru Amuro narrowed his eyes slightly.
He wondered if she had said this because she had really seen something.
——For example, he doesn’t want other people to know about this matter in order to cover up the existence of something.
However, no matter how much he thought in his heart, on the surface, Toru Amuro still looked nonchalant, as if he didn't care about her investigation at all.
“I just don’t think it’s necessary.”
He relaxed his body. He was the one being pushed against the wall and threatened, but from his relaxed appearance, there was no sign of weakness at all.
Hoshino Aoi looked at him almost fascinated.
Although I know that I may look like a nymphomaniac now, but!
but!
That’s Touko!
And he showed her the same expression of ease and provocation he had when he was about to expose Okiya Subaru's true identity at the Kudo family...
Let’s not talk about anything else, just this curled lip, this smile!
She can watch for a hundred years!
However, no matter how excited she was in her heart, on the surface, Hoshino Aoi still maintained her own personality.
"Whether it's necessary or not is not up to you to decide."
She raised her chin to maintain her expression and not let her inner excitement show. At this moment, she was even a little more indifferent than usual.
"So, tell me, who hurt you?"
