Under the moonlight, the water is sparkling, and a golden full moon is suspended in the sky. On the lake, Yan Ruyu is holding a golden pearl in her hand.
And whether it is the full moon in the sky or the pearl in the hand, the beauty of the two combined is still not as fresh and refined as Yan Ruyu.
Kuroba Kaito allowed himself to float up and down in the water. Yan Ruyu's "standing on water" light skill had extinguished all illusions of escaping.
"Aren't you going to catch me?" Seeing Yan Ruyu standing on the water with no intention of catching him, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but ask.
"Please hurry up if you want to do it. It's quite cold to soak in the water at this time of year. I want to go ashore early and change into dry clothes, even prison uniforms." It seemed that he had accepted his fate. Kuroba Kaito began to regain his composure. He actually laughed at himself humorously.
Yan Ruyu looked down at Kuroba Kaito for the first time at this time, and it seemed like she had been looking down at him all the time. She looked down at Kuroba Kaito and said calmly: "Why am I arresting you? I just want to return to the 'Golden Dusk' , I have neither the obligation to arrest the thief nor the power to restrict other people’s personal freedom. It is the police’s business to arrest you and it has nothing to do with me.”
Hearing these words, Kuroba Kaito's face froze.
"Well, I'm quite valuable on the black market. I dare not say more than that. How can I have a net worth of millions of dollars, and you don't want this?"
Because of Yan Ruyu's dismissive attitude, Kuroba Kaito developed a rebellious mentality. Of course, after saying this, he regretted it and wanted to slap himself in the ears.
People are too lazy to catch you. If you don't hurry up and run away, what leverage will you get? You pig!
Kuroba Kaito scolded himself hard, but fortunately, after hearing the great value of "Kid", the expression on Yan Ruyu's face remained unchanged.
"oh."
She said softly, and then nothing happened. It seemed that neither "Kid" nor millions of dollars were worth a penny to her.
This kind of indifference and disregard undoubtedly made Kuroba Kaito more uncomfortable than being caught and hung, but Kuroba Kaito was not a fool. At this time, he could only endure silently.
Yan Ruyu walked away, leaving a few ripples on the calm lake surface and drifting away. Looking at this elegant and immortal Qinggong movement, and then comparing it with the splash he stepped on when he "walked on the water" just now, Kuroyu Kaito was at this moment But he seemed very calm.
He has realized that there is a gap between himself and Yan Ruyu that may be difficult to bridge in his lifetime. It is already difficult for him to make waves in his heart for any extraordinary performance of Yan Ruyu.
"Master, Master!"
A familiar voice brought Kuroba Kaito back to reality. Kuroba Kaito followed the sound and saw his father's assistant Terai Kinosuke wearing a black diving suit swimming towards him in the artificial lake, calling out to him as he swam back. Hold yourself.
"Grandpa Terai, why are you here?"
The appearance of Kōnosuke Terai gave Kuroba Kaito a boost of strength. He was originally in a faint mood and swam towards Kōnosuke Terai.
"Master, you are really here! I just heard a noise in your place, and I was afraid it wasn't you who caused it!"
Terai Huangnosuke said very excitedly.
"Grandpa Terai, you are so old, why do you still take risks?"
Kuroba Kaito sighed.
Yan Ruyu dismissed him, but there were still quite a few people who wanted to catch "Kid". Apart from others, the security guards at Suzuki Jiroyoshi's residence should have taken action by now.
Originally, he had the habit of cleaning up his tracks when he acted, but this time, he was frightened by Yan Ruyu, so he didn't have the calmness to clean up his tracks. Now that he thought about it, those security guards might have stayed with him. The traces targeted this artificial lake.
Due to excessive blood loss and hypothermia after falling into the water, Kuroba Kaito can no longer exert much strength. Most of the items on his body are missing. It is not known whether the remaining items can be used after being soaked in water. The situation can be said to be extremely bad. Even if Without Yan Ruyu, just the bodyguards hired by Suzuki Jirokichi caught up. At this time, Kuroba Kaito didn't have much confidence that he could escape. This may be the reason why Yan Ruyu ignored him.
But at this moment, the much older Terai Kinosuke came over again. Was he rushing to die with him?
"Master, I'm worried about you. I see that you haven't come back for a long time. I'm afraid something might happen to you!"
Terai Hōnosuke is very affectionate and sincere.
"Have I been taking action for a long time?"
Kuroba Kaito wondered, although a lot of things happened just now, which shattered his views over and over again, but Kuroba Kaito remembered that not much time had passed since he started taking action!
After all, the Central Plains woman surnamed Yan was too quick to strike, and her reaction was just a little slower... Forget it, no matter how fast her reaction was, it was still the result of being pressed to the ground and rubbing against her, so let's not talk about it.
"..." Terai Kinosuke's mood seemed to be stuck for a moment, but he quickly recovered and continued to speak affectionately to Kuroba Kaito, "Master, after you left, I was worried that you would be extremely worried. , every minute feels like a year to me, and I find that the security guards in the mansion seem to have taken action, so I am even more worried about your safety!"
"Grandpa Terai, you..."
Kuroba Kaito was moved to tears. He was indeed an elder who watched him grow up. Their loyalty and love for him were unquestionable. He was so moved!
"Come, Master, follow me."
Terai Kinosuke took an oxygen tank off his back and handed it to Kuroba Kaito.
"Grandpa Terai, what are you doing?"
Kuroba Kaito asked Terai Huangnosuke.
Terai Huangnosuke explained to Kuroba Kaito: "There are people everywhere in the mansion now. I don't know if the retreat routes I prepared before are still safe, so I can only come through a secret route that no one knows. That The route is in this artificial lake. As soon as I dived in, I heard a noise in the lake. I guessed it must have been you, young master, and it turned out to be so!"
"So that's it..." Kuroba Kaito suddenly realized. Just now he was wondering why Terai Kinosuke could find him so accurately. It turned out that everything was a coincidence!
"But why didn't you tell me before that there was this retreat route?"
Kuroba Kaito asked Terai Huangnosuke.
Terai Huangnosuke was stunned for a moment, and then said with tears in his eyes: "It is late autumn now, I am afraid that you, young master, will catch a cold!"
"Grandpa Terai, you are really..."
Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but want to cry again.
What kind of virtue did his father have in his previous life? He could have such a loyal assistant by his side in this life, and he even passed it on to his own son.
"Come on, young master, put it on, we have to leave quickly, those people will catch up to us who knows when!"
Terai Huangnosuke urged.
Kuroba Kaito glanced at the direction Yan Ruyu left for the last time, turned to Terai Kinosuke and said: "Grandpa Terai, you were right before. I am far from mature enough. I only learned the basics of my father and want to learn from him." Dad becoming 'Kid' is basically ruining the reputation of 'Kid'. From today on, I will suspend the activities of 'Kid' and devote myself to training. I will practice magic and Qinggong harder. I, Never experience a humiliating failure like today again!”
"Master, I'm so happy that you think so..."
Terai Kinosuke said with relief. Hearing Kuroba Kaito say this, he and Suzuki Jirokichi put up such a big battle and spent so much effort, it was all worth it!
After saying these words, Kuroba Kaito dutifully put his oxygen tank on his back, bit his breathing tube, dived into the water with Terai Kinosuke, and left Suzuki Jirokichi's residence along the drainage channel under the artificial lake.
Kuroba Kaito swore that when the Kaito "Kid" appears again, what the world will see will be a "Kid" plus who is even more powerful than the current "Kid"!
Well, if no Central Plains people come to cause trouble...
…………………………
In the banquet hall, all the guests had been rescued. What just happened shocked them. But after they were rescued and their safety was guaranteed again, their emotions quickly calmed down and they explained what had just happened. As this was a rare experience, they even started to exchange their thoughts with the people around them. Some people even took advantage of the suspension bridge effect after experiencing the danger just now and began to discuss with the opposite sex they liked about which hotel to go to in the evening to see the night view.
Well, it's just for watching the night view, there is absolutely no other meaning.
When Yan Ruyu returned to the banquet hall, all the guests tacitly turned their attention to this mysterious woman from the Central Plains.
The series of battles just now between Yan Ruyu and the famous phantom thief "Kid" had already let them know that the seemingly frail woman in front of them actually had extraordinary power, and their senses about her were very different.
You can watch it from a distance, but you must not play with it.
"Miss Yan, where's Kidd?"
Nakamori Ginzo always cared about "Kid" the most. Yan Ruyu came back and quickly stepped forward to ask her.
After being untied from the net wrapped around him, Nakamori Ginzo immediately chased him out. However, at that time, neither "Kid" nor Yan Ruyu was found, and he could not find any traces left by "Kid". He couldn't trace the traces, so he could only return to the banquet hall sadly and wait for news. Now that he saw Yan Ruyu coming back, of course he couldn't bear to ask Yan Ruyu about the whereabouts of "Kid".
"Hmm, I don't know." Yan Ruyu shook her head.
"what do you not know?"
Nakamori Ginzo glanced at Yan Ruyu's chest. On the necklace on his chest, "Golden Dusk" was emitting a soft light. It was obvious that Yan Ruyu had fought with "Kid" and had taken back "Golden Dusk" from him. , in this case, how could she not know the whereabouts of "Kidd"?
"Ms. Yan, 'Kidd' is an internationally wanted felon. Please cooperate with our police investigation and tell us the whereabouts of 'Kidd'!"
Nakamori Ginzo said very seriously.
Yan Ruyu shook her head again: "But, Officer Zhongmori, I really don't know. I'm just an ordinary person. After recovering the 'Golden Dusk', I stopped paying attention to 'Kid'. I am a vicious criminal like him, too." I'm very scared, you don't want a weak girl like me to deal with 'Kid', do you?"
"Weak girl?"
Nakamori Ginzo thought about the net that Yan Ruyu easily broke, and then thought about how embarrassed he was when he was entangled in the same net.
If she is considered a "weak girl" like this, then what does she mean, am I born with a disability?
Nakamori Ginzo shook his head, no longer thinking about things that had nothing to do with "Kid", and continued to ask Yan Ruyu: "No matter what else, tell me where you last saw 'Kid'!"
"In the artificial lake."
Yan Ruyu answered truthfully.
Anyway, Nakamori Ginzo can't find Kuroba Kaito now, so I'll just tell him.
"OK, thanks!"
Nakamori Ginzo thanked Yan Ruyu and immediately ran out, fearing that "Kid" would run away, although "Kid" had indeed left safely now.
Seeing that Yan Ruyu had returned and the emotions of the guests present had stabilized, Suzuki Jirokichi once again made a declaration as the banquet organizer: "Dear guests, there was a little episode just now. Although it may have caused some shock to you, but in the At this time, we need Miss Yan’s music to make us feel more relaxed. Now, let’s invite Miss Yan to give us a wonderful performance again. Please give us a warm welcome!”
Under the leadership of Suzuki Jirokichi, thunderous applause erupted in the banquet hall, and Yan Ruyu came to the chair in the center of the banquet hall again, picked up the five-string pipa and sat down slowly.
Gently plucking the strings, Yan Ruyu said softly: "I originally wanted to play the pipa classic "House of Flying Daggers", but it doesn't seem suitable now. I'll change it to another song."
"Miss Yan, just feel free to do whatever you want."
Suzuki Jiro Yoshidao.
"Okay, I'll just play as I please."
Yan Ruyu nodded, plucked her jade fingers, and played a dull and tragic tune.
"This is……"
After listening for a while, Yakushiji Ryoko frowned. She was extremely knowledgeable and had a high level of accomplishment in art and music. She had already heard the origin of this piece of music.
"Counsellor, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with Miss Yan's playing?"
Junichiro Izumida asked. Although he didn't really like the music with this kind of artistic conception, Yan Ruyu played it absolutely extremely well. It gave him the feeling of unyielding, tragic and nervous soldiers who knew they would die but still stood up to fight when faced with a desperate situation. The atmosphere is also full of rad and very moving.
"It's fine to play, but the problem is this piece." Yakushiji Ryoko said to Izumida Junichiro, "This piece is called "The Overlord Disarms", and Ms. Yan just said that she was going to play "Ambush from Flying Daggers" "The book also takes the famous event in the history of the Central Plains, the Chu-Han Conflict, as its theme, and depicts the scene of the decisive battle, the Battle of Gaixia."
"What's wrong with this?"
Junichiro Izumida still didn’t understand what Ryoko Yakushiji meant.
When other people asked her this kind of question, Yakushiji Ryoko had already rolled her eyes, but when faced with Junichiro Izumida, she patiently explained with rare patience: "House of Flying Daggers and Overlord Unmasked, the former is based on the winner Liu Bang The work was created by one side as the protagonist, highlighting the majestic appearance of the victorious army, while the latter sided with the defeated Xi Chu Overlord Xiang Yu. Although the overall drama exaggerated the heroic tragedy of the Western Chu Overlord, it also expressed sympathy and praise for him. ,but……"
Yakushiji Ryoko looked at Izumida Junichiro and said, "In the final analysis, this is a song for the loser. Do you understand?"
"I don't quite understand..." Junichiro Izumida scratched his cheek, maintaining his usual dull expression, "But I always feel... a little pitiful..."
"Yeah, it's a bit pitiful..." Ryoko Yakushiji turned his attention to Yan Ruyu again, "You have to kill people with heartache, and kill the corpse with a knife. This Miss Yan is really a bit vicious. I'm starting to sympathize with that person. 'Kidd'..."
As the winner, Yan Ruyu plays the loser's song. Isn't this mocking the Kaitou "Kid"? Who is she mocking? Isn't this a murderous act? If this isn't a last-ditch blow, what is it?
No, what I just said was the Overlord of Western Chu...
Junichiro Izumida blinked and looked at Yakushiji Ryoko with some confusion.
