Chapter 15471555 [Ireland vs. Okiya Subaru]
Kidd's heart was filled with turmoil.
He was sweating profusely as he was thinking about how to escape. At this moment, the monster behind him, after absorbing the magic power, tried to hit him with those sharp spikes.
Finding that she really did not have any extra magic power, Miss Spider stopped her actions with some dissatisfaction.
“…”
Although the magic power that he had accumulated for a long time was gone again, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the spikes that no longer poked into his vital points - at least for now, it seemed that this monster only wanted to extract some magic power and had no intention of having a feast of human flesh.
The newly appeared monster did not take action, but Kidd's curiosity could not help but grow.
He wanted to turn around and take a peek at this monster he had never seen before, but when he caught a glimpse of the spikes pressing against his body, he suddenly felt that these things looked familiar - they were like eight enlarged spider legs.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." Wait, the thing behind him, couldn't it be a scary big hairy spider, the kind that would turn around and stare at him with its eight eyes, then open its bloody mouth and bite off his head in one bite.
Thinking of the spider that was enlarged to the size of a human, Kuroba Kaito shuddered silently and stopped turning his head silently.
He tried to communicate: "Well, actually, I am also a good friend of Jiang Xia! Look, I just rescued him from the clutches of that beautiful aunt!"
I don’t know if it was this passage that worked, or if there was some other reason.
The next moment, with a slight rustling sound, those dangerous spikes were actually retracted.
Kuroba Kaito: “…” Is Jiang Xia’s reputation so useful among monsters?
Or was it that the big spider was full and retreated on its own?
Thinking of this, he finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and couldn't help but look back.
However, there was an empty alley behind him, and the monster had left without him noticing.
Kuroba Kaito absentmindedly adjusted his collar with a hole in it, and suddenly thought of something.
He turned around suddenly and saw Jiang Xia sitting on the chair with his eyes open, as if he had woken up from his drunken state.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." What a coincidence? Jiang Xia woke up right after the spider left?
No, logically speaking, it was more likely the other way around - Jiang Xia just woke up and the monster left.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." So, that scary big spider really didn't look good. Maybe it didn't want Jiang Xia to see its appearance, so it hurried away... Fortunately, I didn't look back just now. But on the other hand, such a shy monster seems quite cute, maybe I should have looked back just now?
He looked at Jiang Xia on the bench, and had a lot of questions about monsters. But he remembered that he was still wearing the skin of Kudo Yusaku. Out of his professionalism to play whoever he was, Kuroba Kaito reluctantly suppressed those questions.
He pushed up the thin-framed glasses on his nose and showed a gentle smile that belonged to an elder: "Long time no see."
Jiang Xia: “…”
…
The other side.
After the brief conversation between "Usa" and Okiya Subaru ended.
Subaru Okiya had resolved a matter of life and he sighed with mixed feelings.
No matter what impact this decision will have on his future, now he breathed a sigh of relief after a long time - without the terrible cases brought by Usa, Okiya Subaru now truly feels a little alive, and no longer has to worry about being involved in a murder case in the next step, and then becoming a tragic corpse or a suspect wanted by the police.
But leaving the bar, walking through several busy night market streets, on the way to a place where I could get a taxi.
Okiya Subaru's originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense because of some information.
Okiya Subaru: “…” He always felt that among those people walking towards him, some of them would look a few more times at a certain angle behind him, as if there was a very eye-catching person following there.
If it was just one street, he could explain it as being on the way. But now he has changed his route several times, and every street is like this...
A terrible thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Okiya Subaru's heart skipped a beat - could it be that he was being followed by someone?
Click.
Okiya Subaru's watch seemed to be unfastened and fell to the ground.
He turned around to pick it up, and when he turned around he looked behind him vaguely, but did not see any suspicious figure.
But this does not seem to mean safety: there are many small shops on both sides of the street, and the billboards or large displays at the door, and even the poorly lit shops themselves, are excellent hiding places.
If the person who is following is always looking for a place to hide and hides quickly when the other person shows any sign of turning around, then he will indeed see nothing.
Subaru picked up his watch, put it on, turned around and continued walking. His pace was neither fast nor slow, but his heart was already pounding.
Okiya Subaru: “…” At this moment, he really missed the glasses he had been wearing before.
If he still had his glasses, he could still find a way to use the reflection to check what was happening behind him. However, now, because he disguised his identity when he went abroad, he no longer wore his glasses.
Subaru Okiya had no choice but to observe everything in front of him that might reflect light, but still found nothing.
It seemed like no one was following him.
However, his past experience and the suspicion caused by Wu Zo’s persecution made it difficult for him to feel at ease no matter what - just because he couldn’t see anyone in the reflection didn’t mean that no one was following him.
You can even think from another perspective. The other party might be someone who has received special training. So when he is following you, he is not only in a position where he can hide quickly at all times, but he also specifically avoids angles that might be illuminated by reflections... In short, the less you realize that someone is following you, the more vigilant you should be.
Okiya Subaru broke out in a cold sweat at the thought that there might be an invisible and terrifying opponent following him.
This familiar feeling of oppression made him reach into his pocket and touch his cell phone. He instinctively wanted to type a message like "Uzo is trying to harm me!" to ask Akai Shuichi for help.
However, the slightly cool touch of the phone brought Okiya Subaru back to his senses quickly, and he sighed somewhat sadly.
——The reliable Mr. Akai is a thing of the past.
It seemed that the person he should look for now was that terrible new boss.
Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru took a deep breath, chose his words, and typed carefully: [After leaving the bar, I felt like someone was following me.]
After all, there was too little known information at the moment, and he was typing blindly with his hand in his pocket, so he didn't write too much. He just left the key information and pressed send.
