Chapter 214 Let’s die together!
Jiang Xia was stunned and casually instructed the mermaid to stay out of the sight of anyone other than the target.
Then Jiang Xia followed the sound and walked towards the place where the scream came from.
After taking two steps, he found that this was the direction leading to the cliff.
Those two people didn't fall down...
Jiang Xia sighed softly. He thought that this time the events developed so quickly that Hattori Heiji would not have the time to play around in other people's graves while being distracted like he did in the original world line.
But now it seems that some things are really destined...
…
On the edge of the cliff, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha tried to rescue each other, but eventually both fell off the cliff.
Fortunately, there was a tree growing diagonally on the cliff.
When Hattori Heiji fell, he quickly grabbed the tree trunk with his hand and grabbed Toyama Kazuha with his other hand. The two of them were hanging on the tree branch in a precarious manner.
The innocent tree had grown freely on the edge of the cliff since it was young and had never experienced such heavy pressure. It kept making creaking sounds and was on the verge of breaking.
This sound made both of them feel depressed. Toyama Kazuha raised her head, looking over Hattori Heiji who was holding her, and she could clearly see that the branch was bending and was about to break.
She immediately realized that if there was only one person on the branch, the branch might be able to hold, but if it continued like this, both of them would probably fall to their deaths.
Toyama Kazuha tearfully shouted several times "Let go", but Hattori Heiji, who was holding her, turned his head away and pretended not to hear.
Finally, Yuanshan Heye sighed and murmured, "If only I had drawn that arrow just now."
Hattori Heiji felt like his arm was about to break. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are still superstitious at this time! Besides, even if it can really keep people young forever, it can't protect people from falling to death."
"No." Yuanshan Heye thought of another use, "...If I draw the arrow and stab you with it now, you will have no choice but to let go."
Having said this, she suddenly had an idea and found a new way to protect the person, so she turned around and pinched Hattori Heiji hard.
Hattori Heiji: "!!!"
He was inexplicably stabbed in the back by a friendly soldier, and was stunned by the pain, but after this incident, he finally understood what Yuanshan Heye was thinking, and warned: "Don't do anything stupid!"
In Hattori Heiji's opinion, Toyama Kazuha is strangling him now in order not to drag him down - so, if you want Toyama Kazuha to stop strangling people, just make her realize that her sacrifice is ineffective, then she will definitely give up on her own.
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji threatened: "If you dare to force me to let go, I will jump down with you, do you understand?"
Yuanshan Heye was stunned, and his originally pale cheeks suddenly turned red: "...Do you know how to count? It would be a loss if one more person died."
Hattori Heiji felt that the threat was effective: "Then just hold on to me!"
Toyama Kazuha stared blankly at Hattori Heiji above her. She felt that with Hattori Heiji's upright character, since he dared to say that just now, he was really capable of committing suicide for love.
Thinking of this, Toyama Kazuha felt like crying. She raised her other hand, grabbed Hattori Heiji tightly, and shouted with emotion: "Then, let's die together!"
Jiang Xia, who just poked his head out from the edge of the cliff: "..."
He was silent for a moment: "Are you... going to die together?"
Hattori Heiji: "!"
Yuanshan Heye: "!!!"
Hattori Heiji looked up and was so happy to see Jiang Xia for the first time.
Yuanshan Heye kept her head up and saw Jiang Xia above earlier. She was so excited when she saw her loved one: "Jiang Xia! Help me!!!"
I am saving you, I am saving you...
Unable to be seen by the two people below who were addicted to the romantic game of "you jump i jump", several bundles of puppet clay with a hint of murderous aura appeared out of thin air on the tree trunk, tightening the trunk that was about to break, making it solid again.
Jiang Xia remembered that according to the setting, Hattori Heiji's martial arts value was much higher than that of Maori Ran, and Hattori Heiji's martial arts technical points were all focused on kendo, which requires a lot of arm strength.
In other words, as long as Shu doesn't let down, Hattori Heiji himself should be fine.
If he really can't hold on until Jiang Xia pulls people in, then at worst there's still Kiri Tengu to back him up... In short, I hope Hattori Heiji can try his best.
The broken tree where the two were standing was some distance away from the top of the cliff.
Jiang Xia politely stepped forward to test it.
Several pieces of rubble rolled down, and he retracted his foot amid the frightened dissuasion of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, and changed his way of saving people: "Hold on! I'll find something to pull you up."
The two people below secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously. They were really afraid that Jiang Xia was so eager to save people that he would slide down and serve as a ladder for them. That would be too dangerous for Jiang Xia, and the tree would not be able to hold up.
Now, Hattori Heiji discovered that although Jiang Xia was in a hurry to save people, he was still rational, and he was about to nod with relief.
But at this moment, a terrified cry of "Help!!!" suddenly came from above the cliff.
The voice came from behind Jiang Xia, and from the sound, it seemed that someone was rushing towards Jiang Xia at a rapid speed.
Before Jiang Xia turned around, he knew that it was Nao Kuroe who saw the mermaid.
The dugong arrow that Nao Kuroe had just obtained had broken. Before that, she had seen the tragic scene of Nami Kaihara hanging on the waterfall.
So just now, when she suddenly saw the mermaid in the woods giving her a sinister smile, her first reaction was that she had broken the arrow and the mermaid was coming to kill her, just like she had killed Kaihara Nami before.
Nao Kuroe fled in panic like a headless fly, and was gradually forced into an area she had never been close to by the elusive mermaid.
The unfamiliar environment made her feel uneasy. At this moment, Nao Kuroe suddenly saw a person standing in the half-person-high weeds in front of her.
The man had his back to her, but Nao Kuroe quickly recognized him - this was the famous high school detective who had recently arrived on the island!
"Help!! The mermaid is trying to kill me!" Nao Kuroe rushed over excitedly, hoping Jiang Xia could help.
If she didn't help, then as long as she surpassed Jiang Xia, she might have a chance of survival - there is a saying that when you are chased by danger, you don't have to outrun the danger, you just have to outrun your teammates...
Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha hung on the tree trunk, looking up nervously.
Jiang Xia turned around in confusion. After seeing the situation clearly, he advised in surprise: "Stop! There's a cliff behind me..."
However, a figure spoke faster than he did.
——Driven by the desire to survive, Nao Kuroe super accelerated and passed Jiang Xia's position.
Before she could show any sign of relief, the next second, she suddenly stepped on empty air.
