Xie Sen ran out as fast as he could, but he could no longer see Maine. He ran through the corridor and out of the Kes's house.
A beam of light suddenly lit up in the parking lot on the right side of Kes's house. It was the light of a shuttle starting up at night. He looked over and saw Maine's shuttle taking off.
He quickly ran to the side of the road and stopped a public shuttle, pointing at the shuttle that was about to disappear from his sight: "Master, catch up with it as fast as you can."
The driver immediately drove at top speed and glanced in the rearview mirror: "Why are you chasing him?"
Xie Sen guessed that the driver was worried that he was following people and doing something bad, so he simply replied: "He was hurt and angry."
The driver saw Xie Sen's anxious look and saw his thin figure, so he joked, "She had a fight with her boyfriend."
Xie Sen was in no mood to joke. Thinking about Maine's injuries and his last expression, he felt a dull pain in his heart and couldn't help but worry.
"Can you go faster?" he urged.
"This is already the maximum speed. Don't worry, you won't get lost. He can only go this fast."
Xie Sen opened the bracelet to contact Maine, but all communications and messages fell on deaf ears, with no response at all, and the speed of the shuttle in front did not slow down at all.
The two shuttles drove one after the other, overtaking countless other shuttles along the way. Twenty minutes later, the driver frowned and asked, "Where does your friend live? If we continue driving forward, we will be out of the city. The public shuttles cannot leave the city."
Xie Sen became even more worried and just hoped that Maine could stop in time. Outside the city was a continuous barren forest. It was too dangerous to enter the forest at night.
His hopes were dashed. Maine drove the shuttle, stopped for a moment at the city gate, and then went straight out of the city. The shuttle he was riding was forced to stop in the parking lot at the border of Star City.
Xie Sen paid the money and got out of the car quickly, completely ignoring the driver who was shouting behind him that it was dangerous to leave the city at night.
He ran to the city gate but was stopped: "You can't go out."
"I have permission to leave the city!" Xie Sen looked anxiously outside the city and showed his proof.
"You're a junior, right? In addition to the city exit permit, a single person must also meet the requirements, and at least three beast masters of D-level or above are required." The person checking the documents glanced at him, "If you want to go out alone, you must have at least a B-level contract beast master."
Xie Sen secretly thought that this was a close call and retrieved his identity information: "I am Class B!"
The inspector looked surprised. After reading his message, he looked at him again and said, "Are you sure you want to go out alone? It's very dangerous at night. Your safety when leaving the city is entirely your own responsibility."
Xie Sen’s patience was almost exhausted: “I’m sure, can I go out?”
"Okay." He met the requirements and his attitude was firm. The prosecutor had no reason to stop him and nodded.
Xie Sen took two steps outside, turned around and asked, "I saw someone drive a shuttle in. Where will they park it?"
The shuttle cannot be operated in the forest at all, so there must be a place to park it.
"Go right after you go out. There is a parking lot at the edge of the forest. People who hunt usually park their cars there."
"Thank you." Xie Sen thanked him, turned on the light in his bracelet, turned around and ran to the right.
Outside the city gate is a large flat area, which is a protective zone between the city and the forest. If a wild beast comes out of the forest, it can be seen at a glance and there is no place to hide.
It took Xie Sen fifteen minutes to run to the parking lot. There were few shuttles in the parking lot, and he immediately spotted Maine's shuttle near the edge of the forest.
Xie Sen ran over and found Maine was not in the car. There was only a trail of blood on the ground.
Xie Sen panted and followed the blood trail into the forest. After walking for a while, a bird suddenly flew over him and screamed. He was startled and his heart started beating wildly.
There was a quiet noise in the forest at night. The strange sounds of birds and insects made Xie Sen unable to help but have wild thoughts. He walked and called Maine's name all the way.
"Maine..."
"Maine..."
The forest was like a big mouth that swallowed all his shouts, and he got no response at all.
Xie Sen walked for another twenty minutes and felt extremely tired. Although there was lighting, it was still not as good as during the day. He tripped over tree roots several times along the way.
He was walking along the blood trail, when suddenly, he stopped abruptly, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
Not far in front of him stood a black-skinned, ferocious-looking beast. The beast was about one meter tall, with a strong body, sharp teeth, and a pair of green eyes staring at him.
Xie Sen's heart almost stopped and he held his breath reflexively.
The beast looked at him for a while, lowered its head, licked the leaves on the ground, and moved forward, gradually shortening the distance between it and Xie Sen.
Xie Sen's eyes suddenly widened. It was licking Maine's blood!
He bit his lip, trying not to scream, and slowly moved to the side. The beast glanced at him, then lowered its head, occasionally looking up to lick the surrounding leaves, which were stained with blood that Maine had wiped off when he passed by.
The beast followed the blood trail back to where Xie Sen came from, but did not attack Xie Sen.
Xie Sen's face gradually regained its color. He returned to his previous position and looked around for any traces of Maine, but found no trace of blood.
He turned around and looked at the beast walking away fiercely. If his ability allowed, he really wanted to rush over, grab the beast's neck and yell at it: Spit it out!
He wiped his face, turned his head and looked at the dark forest in the distance. He put his hands to his mouth and shouted, "Maine, Maine! Come out, come out!"
He yelled, feeling distressed and angry: "Asshole, do you know I'm worried!"
He continued to walk forward while shouting. He knew it was dangerous to do so, but he could not control himself. The desire to see Maine was too strong.
He had even deeper worries in his heart. Maine's final crazy appearance fully demonstrated that what happened tonight was the reason why Maine turned evil.
Maine was hit hard. A person will only become more and more obsessed with trivial matters. He was worried that Maine would fall into paranoia.
Gradually, his pace slowed down. He looked around at the almost identical scenery in confusion. He had no idea which direction he should go.
He lowered his head, opened the bracelet, and tried to dial the call again, but there was still no response.
He was anxious and angry and sent ten messages in a row.
Looking at the unresponsive bracelet, he dropped his hand in frustration.
Suddenly, the howling of a wild beast came faintly from the left. The sound was very small when it reached him. It was obvious that there was some distance between them.
The howling continued, then suddenly disappeared.
Xie Sen looked in that direction and his eyes suddenly lit up. There was a light there!
He ran over there without thinking. Maybe it wasn't Maine, maybe it was a hunter, but even if there was only a slight possibility, he couldn't let it go.
The lights became brighter and brighter, and Xie Sen's eyes became brighter and brighter. Finally, he ran to his destination breathlessly.
There was chaos all around, blood everywhere, and a huge beast was lying silently on the ground, having lost its life.
Not far away, Maine was leaning against a tree trunk with his head lowered. He exuded a dark aura and scratched the ground with a dagger in his right hand.
The moment Xie Sen saw him, he almost wanted to cry. He supported himself on his knees and gasped for breath. After slowing down, he walked over to Maine and squatted down.
Maine, who had been maintaining his posture, suddenly attacked the moment Xie Sen squatted down, with the dagger against Xie Sen's neck. With just a little force, he could end Xie Sen's life.
"Main!" Xie Sen looked at Main in astonishment. "You're crazy. I was so worried about you that I ran into the forest to look for you like a fool. What do you mean by this?"
"Worried about me?" There was no expression on Maine's delicate face, and his eyes were dark without any emotion.
"Nonsense, why else would I look for you?" Xie Sen said unhappily.
Maine stared at him, with shocking waves in his eyes. He pressed down the dagger against his neck: "Liar, all of you are liars. I saw you smile at him!"
Xie Sen frowned in pain, looking confused: "Who did you smile at?"
Maine sneered nervously: "Who else could it be? They are right. You will regret it once you know his identity!"
Xie Sen thought about it and said, "You mean Young Master Qiao? What a joke! You pushed me to the ground and he helped me up. I was just thanking him politely!"
He pointed at the dagger and said, "Let's talk it over. Put it down first. If you use too much force by mistake, I'll be dead." Seeing Maine's cold face and motionless, Xie Sen was annoyed, "If you want to kill me, you still need to keep holding the dagger? Aren't your hands tired?"
Maine hesitated for a moment and put down the dagger. Xie Sen looked at the wound on his shoulder and softened his tone. "Let's go out first. We need to treat your wound first."
Maine didn't react, he just stared at him, his expression didn't change.
Xie Sen was helpless and grabbed his arm: "I know you are very sad and it is difficult to let go for a while, but you have to know that you are not alone, and I am with you."
Maine's eyes moved slightly, and he put the dagger against Xie Sen's neck again. Xie Sen stared at him.
What's wrong with him? He thought about what he said. There's nothing wrong.
Maine leaned forward, his voice light and dangerous, "Accompany me? Those are all lies. He also said he would accompany me when we were little, but he has changed. Only when you die will you really not change."
Xie Sen's scalp went numb, and a chill suddenly ran down his back. "Nonsense! If I died, I'd be the biggest liar. What's the point of dying?"
"You are such an asshole! I risked my life to come to you, but you still don't trust me!"
Maine stared at his angry face and sneered: "Trust? Ridiculous."
The two men were very close to each other, and Xie Sen's nose was full of the smell of Maine's blood. Seeing his cold eyes and the look of not trusting anyone, Xie Sen thought of Sokto and wanted to beat him up.
He said sincerely and seriously: "I said that we are brothers for life. I will not lie to you. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do. However... I think you should give me a chance. When you find out that I have lied to you, you can kill me. Anyway, you are fully capable of doing so."
"You..." Xie Sen saw that his expression had relaxed slightly, and was about to persuade him again, but his right hand rose uncontrollably and touched Maine's face.
At the same time, he moved his head closer to Maine who was in a daze, their breaths entangled together, and as they got closer, they were about to kiss.
Xie Sen widened his eyes. Oh my god, why am I suddenly out of control? It’s already 9:20!
He had calculated the time long ago. He would wake up from his lunch break at 1:20 in the afternoon, so there would be no problem staying within eight hours.
Before attending the party, he and Maine agreed to return to the apartment before 8:30, but who knew that plans would not keep up with changes.
Xie Sen wanted to cry but had no tears. Four words came to his mind: God wants to kill me.
This time, Maine will definitely kill him!
