After the game, Urameshi Yusuke and his group happily passed through the player channel and planned to go home.
"Oh, I really thought it was impossible today. I really have to rely on Kurama."
At this moment, Kuwazono Kazuma seemed to have completely forgotten his previous tragic experience, and spoke with a loud laugh.
"If we continue like this, maybe we won't have any problem winning the championship!"
"Hahahaha, the champion has 50 million US dollars. 50 million! How are we going to spend it?"
Urameshi Yusuke also laughed loudly, looking very happy as he was thinking about how to spend the money after winning the lottery. But at this moment, Kurama and Hiei suddenly stopped and stared ahead.
"What's wrong? Kurama? Hiei?"
Noticing something wrong with their companions, Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwazono stopped, then they looked up and saw a black-haired woman wearing sportswear and a mask standing in front of them.
"Masked X!"
Looking at the masked girl in front of him, Urameshi Yusuke's expression suddenly changed and he stared at her seriously.
However, when the two looked at each other, Masked X turned his head and looked at Hiei.
"Feiying is a thief from the Demon Realm. He was born in the Ice River Country. He was abandoned as a cursed child and grew up in the Demon Realm Forest. In order to find his sister and the Ice Tear Stone that he lost in the battle, he found the Demon Realm Evil Eye Master Shigure and asked him to transplant an evil eye that could be used for searching. The other party agreed to Feiying's request, but the condition was that even if Feiying found his sister, he was not allowed to recognize her."
"Why?"
After hearing what Masked X said, the three of them looked at Hiei in surprise, and Kuwazono Kazuma stared at Hiei in disbelief.
"You actually have a sister? This is the first time I've heard of it."
"snort!"
At this moment, Feiying's face was already icy. He stared coldly at Mask X and asked in a low voice.
"Who are you?"
“Hehehe.”
Facing Hiei's question, Masked X laughed softly.
"It doesn't matter who I am to you. What matters is..."
As he spoke, Mask X turned sideways, revealing the kimono-clad Snow Woman standing behind him.
"Who is she... I think you should know the answer."
“…”
Seeing the snow girl in front of him, Feiying's face changed slightly as if he was punched in the face. Xuecai stared at Feiying and asked in a low voice.
"Brother? Is that you? Are you my brother?"
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Hearing Yukina's question, Hiei replied coldly, and upon hearing this, Mask X sneered.
"So, she's not your sister?"
"Of course, I don't have any sisters."
“I see…”
Hearing Hiei's answer, Masked X nodded.
"Then she's useless."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mask X slapped Setsuna with his palm, followed by a scream, and Setsuna fell to the ground the next moment. Seeing this scene, not only Hiei, but also the other three were stunned. Kuwazono Kazuma couldn't help but clench his fists and roared loudly!
“What are you doing!?”
"It's simple. Revenge."
Masked X reached out, grabbed Xuecai and pulled her up, she stared at Hiei with a cold tone.
"I have a score to settle with Feiying, so I captured his sister and brought her here. But now it seems that I captured the wrong person. If that's the case, then this snow girl has no value to me, so I can just kill her."
As he spoke, Mask X's right hand tightly grasped Setsuna's neck, and Setsuna showed a painful expression and uttered a low groan. However, even so, Mask X still didn't care about her, but stared at Hiei with a sneer.
"Let me confirm again, she is not your sister, right?"
“…”
This time, Hiei didn't say anything, he just stared at Mask X without saying a word. Mask X took a dagger with his backhand and stabbed it towards Xuecai's chest.
“Stop it!!”
At this moment, Urameshi Yusuke, Kuwazono Kazuma and Kurama rushed forward at the same time. With a roar, Urameshi Yusuke suddenly raised his right hand and fired a huge spirit ball. Kuwazono Kazuma also condensed a spirit sword again and chopped it hard at Mask X. Although Kurama on the other side did not speak, with the petals flying, a rose whip flashed out from it, blocking Mask X's retreat.
The three of them attacked together, obviously intending to snatch Setsuna from Masked X.
Unfortunately, they posed no threat to Mask X. On the contrary, Mask X just snorted coldly at the sight of the three people's joint attack.
"snort!"
With this cold snort, everyone felt as if they were struck by thunder in their hearts, and their faces turned pale. At the same time, the whistling spirit balls, the chopped spirit swords, and the flying rose whips instantly shattered and exploded, and the three people flew backwards and hit the wall on the other side. Masked X didn't even look at the three of them, and the dagger in his hand directly stabbed Xue Cai's heart!
"stop!!"
At this moment Feiying finally couldn't bear it anymore. He roared, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next moment he appeared in front of Mask X, and the sharp blade in his hand fell from the sky and slashed at the enemy in front of him.
"Don't get in the way."
As Mask X spoke coldly, Feiying groaned, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground. However, even though he was in great pain, he turned around desperately - and then, Feiying maintained the movement and stopped stiffly in place.
In front of him, the dagger in Mask X's hand had pierced Setsuna's heart.
"……elder brother……"
Xuecai opened her eyes and looked at Feiying in pain. She stretched out her hand, trying to grab the loved one in front of her. A tear emerged from the corner of her eye, slid down her cheek to the ground, and turned into a beautiful gem.
Then, the beautiful snow-white girl turned into pieces of ice and snow and disappeared into the air.
“…”
Seeing this scene, Urameshi Yusuke and everyone else were stunned, and Hiei's eyes were red. He stared at Mask X and roared loudly.
“You actually——!!”
However, before Feiying could get up, Mask X waved his hand at him. With a "bang", Feiying was knocked to the ground like a fly and lost consciousness.
“Hahahahaha… This is just the beginning, Feiying, not only your sister, but also your companions will die together…”
Having said that, Mask X laughed and looked at Urameshi Yusuke and the others. A cold murderous aura emerged from her body, making the four of them feel a kind of unspeakable fear.
"The next match will be in three days. By then...none of you will be able to escape."
After he finished speaking, Masked X disappeared without a trace in front of everyone.
Looking at the empty passage, Yusuke and the others were silent. The happiness and excitement brought by the victory before were gone.
"Hmm... this should be fine."
Standing on the top of a building not far away, Shizuku took off her mask and nodded with satisfaction. Beside her, Setsuna felt a little uneasy.
"Is this really okay, Miss Shizuku?"
"What does it matter? Anyway, you've seen it. Feiying is a donkey. He's nothing. If you don't give him some provocation, he won't recognize you. But..."
Having said that, Shizuku looked at Setsuna in confusion.
"Your last performance was very convincing. Where did you learn that?"
Although Shizuku had asked Setsuna to tell her her idea before meeting Hiei, she did not expect Setsuna to have amazing acting skills. After all, this snow woman seemed a little naive. But she did not expect that her final performance was really good, fully showing the image of a sister who was desperately looking for her brother but finally collapsed before the finish line, full of relief and sadness.
“This…this…”
Facing Shizuku's question, Setsuna lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but I often watch TV dramas with Ms. Kurosawa Aise, and there was a scene like this in it... so I imitated it..."
“…”
I didn’t realize that, little girl, you are such a talented actress.
"When this wave is over, I think you can become an actor."
After silently giving a thumbs up to Setsuna's outburst of acting skills, Shizuku looked at the arena in front of her again and stretched hard.
But I have to say, playing a villain is really fun!
Next, it depends on how Urameshi Yusuke and the others will react.
At the same time, Urameshi Yusuke and the other three sat in the park in dejected spirits, not saying a word.
"Damn it! How dare you... How dare you do this in front of us!"
Kuang Yuanhe punched the tree with his fist and roared through gritted teeth, while Kurama shook his head and sighed.
"The opponent's strength is far beyond our imagination. Even I have never seen such a terrifying existence..." At this point, Kurama looked at Hiei. "Do you have any impression of that person? Since he is wearing a mask, it means he doesn't want you to recognize him. He should be someone you know."
“…”
Feiying shook his head and said nothing.
“This is the first time I’ve felt such an aura.”
Urameshi Yusuke also had a pale face and stared at his fist.
"Even that damn old woman didn't give me this kind of oppressive feeling. To be honest, I couldn't even move in front of her..."
“…”
Hiei stood up without saying a word, but was then stopped by Kurama.
"What are you going to do, Hiei?"
"This is my problem, and I'm going to solve it myself."
“No, this is our problem.”
Kurama shook his head, interrupting Hiei and staring at him.
"She said that she would kill us completely in the next match... Obviously, she will not let us go. Moreover, with your current strength, you will just die in vain."
“…”
Feiying still didn't speak. He was silent for a moment, then his figure flashed and disappeared.
"Where's Feiying? Where did he go? Did he go to look for that guy?"
"I think he's gone to training."
Kurama sighed.
"Although I don't know what can be changed in three days, I have to go to special training. In our current state, we have no way to fight that Masked X."
"Me too!"
Urameshi Yusuke clenched his fists and shouted loudly.
"I want special training too... I want to become stronger!!"
Taking in the whole scene, Shizuku nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that there should be no problem with what Huanhai entrusted me to do.
