"No." Yosano refused outright and stood there with a firm expression, obviously determined to stand by Shuyi's side.

At this moment, Tachihara Michizo was no longer as embarrassed as before. When his teammates stood beside him, his temperament also changed.

Tachihara Michizo staggered to his feet, standing between the two teams. He looked up at Jie Shuyi and Yosano in confusion and asked the most confusing question in his mind.

"I can see that you have already discovered that there are people called Hounds in the Port Mafia. Since you were prepared, why didn't you expose me directly from the beginning? Why did you wait until now?"

Xie Shuyi pursed his lips, but his body was too tired at the moment. He even had difficulty standing there on his own, let alone trying to sneak through the ground behind him.

His little movements were so conspicuous that there was nothing others could do even if they didn't want to notice.

Suehiro Tetsuji suddenly appeared beside the two of them, and Yosano took three or two steps forward to block in front of Jie Shuyi. Without anyone to support him, Jie Shuyi fell to his knees almost instantly.

He was sweating coldly from the pain and gasping for breath. Blood was already flowing from the corners of his eyes. He wiped it away with his elbow almost in panic, fearing that Yosano would see the abnormality of his body and get worried.

But his current condition was not good, and Xie Shuyi and Yosano's every move was under the attention of the hunting dogs, and his behavior was sensed by Tiaoye Caiju.

The latter's lips gradually curled up due to excitement.

This was...the first time he felt Jie Shuyi's heartbeat so strongly.

When they met before, even when he was on the verge of life and death, Xie Shuyi's heartbeat was still unusually steady, as if he had already gotten used to such a decisive battle.

But now, Tiaoye Caiju can actually sense...

Is Jie Shuyi afraid?

Hahaha, things that can make Jie Shuyi feel scared are really interesting and not difficult to guess.

Jouno Saikiku stopped Suehiro Tetsuji from taking action and her eyes passed through Yosano. Even though she was alert and tried to use her body to block the person falling behind her, Yosano could not block Jouno Saikiku's voice.

"I heard that you were raised by the Joker organization for several years in your early years, and you have long become a twisted, cruel and sadistic person. After meeting twice, I found that it is not necessarily the case. I still have to say thank you for showing mercy to our subordinate."

Jie Shuyi raised his head. There was no sincerity in the faint smile on Tiaoye Caiju's face. It was full of interest in teasing his prey. The excitement in his eyes and eyebrows clearly showed that he wanted to have fun with the two people from the detective agency.

"Speaking of which, I'm also curious. Why did you find out that Tachihara Michizo was a traitor but didn't expose him? And why didn't you kill him after exposing him? This is really different from your usual style."

Xie Shuyi turned his head away without saying anything. He closed his eyes and kept adjusting his breathing, trying to mobilize the special abilities in his body.

Jouno Caiju couldn't wait for an answer, so she smiled and said, "Is it because of Miss Yosano?"

Xie Shuyi's eyes suddenly opened. Even though he tried hard to suppress the pain in his chest with his palms, he still couldn't help but let out a breath from the corner of his mouth. However, the tip of his tongue quickly rolled the light blood into his mouth.

"enough."

His voice had lost its previous timbre, and was hoarse and unpleasant, like that of an old man.

Yosano was also slightly stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean?"

The smile on Tiao Ye Cai Ju's lips widened a little, "I think Xie Shu Yi should have guessed that Tachihara Michizo knew the soldier you, Miss Yosano, used to know."

"I'm willing to cooperate with Tachihara Michizo until now, probably to resolve the knot in Ms. Yosano's heart..."

Tiaoye Caiju paused, "You are brave enough to gamble with your life."

He emphasized the word "brave" so much that anyone with good sense could hear the sarcasm in his words.

Xie Shuyi wanted to make a few more remarks to argue, but when he met Xie Ye's inquiring gaze, all he had to say was to just lower his head in a daze.

He really wanted to help Sister Yosano resolve her emotional issues, which was why he had been accompanying Tachihara Michizoen until now. After arriving at the safe house, he had already found the escape route.

The worst case scenario was that the hounds would come after them, but no matter what, at least they could escape.

But this matter should never have happened, and Sister Yosano Nono should have known the truth.

For everyone in the detective agency, sacrificing their lives to protect others seems to have become a matter of course.

Xie Shuyi wants to be such a person, but does not want others to bear the pressure of the process.

He stood up with great effort, his calcified body causing him to tremble constantly. "What do you want? To be fair, we will spare your people this time. How about you give us this time?"

Jouno Caiju was still smiling. He said calmly, "We admire talents like you. Compared to Miss Yosano's special ability, the government army is more interested in your ability."

"As the saying goes, first time is first time, second time is first time. I would like to invite you to join the hounds."

"no!"

"it is good."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and Yosano clicked his tongue. "With your current physical condition, have you ever thought about what would happen if you really went with them? How is this different from asking me to give up on you?"

"You go with Xie Ye, and we can talk about anything."

Xie Shuyi held an iron rod as a support for his body, with most of his body weight pressed on it. Since he couldn't see clearly, he simply closed his eyes.

Without the interference of external vision, one can perceive other people's emotions more clearly.

He heard the anxious dissuasion of Sister Yosano, and also sensed the joy that Jyouno Caiju was having. Xie Shuyi did not believe what Jyouno Caiju said.

Not only did he not believe it, but the other members of the Hound Team did not believe it either. Xie Shuyi even heard a sarcastic chuckle.

Do you really think all people are fools?

It is obvious that Jouno Caiju's move is to make Yosano lose his composure and to attack the enemy's heart first.

Because he already knew that Yosano would never abandon him and leave.

I like acting...

The people from Hound Dog are really good at acting.

Xie Shuyi seemed to be furious. He threw the iron rod heavily to the ground and shouted at Yosano, "Are you idiot?! You have a way to live but you don't want to leave! You are just waiting to die!"

Yosano also showed a rare toughness.

"I should stay. This is my grudge against him."

"But this is also a feud between the detective agency and the hounds! Why should you bear it alone?! You are being selfish!"

The two of them suddenly started quarreling. They were clearly saying words of concern and trying to dissuade each other, but in the urgent situation, the words they uttered without thinking began to become hurtful one by one.

Tiaoye Caiju was looking at the scene in front of him, like a fox that was smug and satisfied after achieving its goal, and was appreciating it carefully with his ears perked up.

Xie Shuyi suddenly reached out and grabbed Yosano's arm, and said with a serious expression, "Do you believe me?"

Yosano was firm, "I believe in you, but I can't abandon you."

Xie Shuyi listened to it with his left ear and out with his right ear. He only heard the first three words clearly, and his lips curled up.

With these three words, no matter what happens, he will never regret it.

Xie Shuyi suddenly turned sideways and pulled out the iron rod that he had inserted into the ground out of anger. At this time, the ground shook and groundwater overflowed from the hole.

Then the entrance of the cave collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a circle that people could jump into.

Before everyone could react, Xie Shuyi had already pushed Yosano in.

Yosano's fingertips slipped, and when she raised her hand again to grab Jie Shuyi's arm, she was quickly submerged in the underground undercurrent.

Before being completely submerged in water, the last thing Yosano saw within his sight was Jie Shuyi's brilliant smile.

"Live."

Xie Shuyi didn't have the chance to jump down after Yosano. He relied on the surprise attack to push Yosano onto the path to survival.

Now that the hounds are on alert, it will be extremely difficult to escape.

Suehiro Tiechang had his arm around Jie Shuyi's neck. He kept looking into the cave entrance, but saw nothing. He wanted to jump down to chase him, but Tiao Ye Caiju stopped him.

"The underground river flows fast. After a few years, no one knows whether there are new undercurrents under this developed ground. Whether she can survive after jumping in depends on luck."

"Don't worry about it. Yosano will survive."

Anyway, his goal had been achieved, so Xie Shuyi stopped pretending. Regardless of the saber on his neck, he simply sat down to avoid the pain in his legs.

Fortunately, Suehiro Tiechang put away the knife quickly enough, otherwise there would be a bloody mark on Jie Shuyi's neck.

Tachihara Michizo half-knelt down and looked at him, "You did it on purpose. Were you just yelling in front of us?"

Xie Shuyi sat cross-legged. He could feel the supernatural power flowing in his body again, and the healing power was repairing his body bit by bit.

"You're really smart. You're worthy of being an undercover prosecutor assigned by the government army to the Port Mafia. I just wonder what Mori Ogai and the Port Mafia executives will think of you after they know about this."

Every word Xie Shuyi said was heart-wrenching. Tachihara Michizo wanted to explain that he and the Port Mafia had no loyalty from the beginning. He wanted to say that he was just an undercover from the beginning to the end, but the thread led to Yin who had fainted on the side.

Just like what Xie Shuyi asked before.

Obviously, killing him is the only way to truly eliminate future troubles.

Why, as a member of the government army, facing the city's port mafia, he did not choose to kill Yin.

There is no explanation. Tachihara Michizou could not think of a reason.

Tiaoye Caiju sensed that Jie Shuyi's heartbeat was gradually calming down, and even his breath was recovering little by little.

"This hole was created when you pretended to be angry and inserted the iron rod while using your supernatural power to stir up the tide below. As long as you pull the iron rod out of this hole, the hole will collapse instantly." He couldn't help but smack his lips, "Your acting skills are really good."

"Thank you. Mr. Dazai also praised me. When the 'war' is over, I will try to be an actor."

The smile on Jyouno Caiju's face disappeared instantly. Even though he didn't show it, it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with Yosano's escape.

Just reunited, he met Shu Yi's cloudy eyes, "It's really distressing. I didn't intend to kill you."

"What a shame. You can't kill me now."

The atmosphere between the two sides gradually became tense. Tiao Ye Caiju obviously wanted to kill Jie Shuyi with one blow, but since he could feel the fluctuation of supernatural powers coming from him again, it meant that Jie Shuyi's healing ability had recovered.

From a dying man to an unkillable trouble.

"Let him take it back. The doctors in the military and police have been curious about his health for a long time." Okura Yezi said boredly.

Tiao Ye Caiju actually nodded in agreement with this proposal. He knew Jie Shuyi's past and what the young man had suffered, but he was willing to push him into the abyss again.

He wanted to see Jie Shuyi's desperate look and hear Jie Shuyi's humble voice begging for mercy.

The smile on Xie Shuyi's face disappeared without a trace.

"Oh, that's too bad."

Those five words, with almost no intonation, expressed all his emotions.

Maybe in the eyes of others, Xie Shuyi was just pretending to be calm, but Tiao Ye Caiju could clearly sense that he was really not afraid.

But how could anyone not be afraid?

Even a wild chrysanthemum picker could not help but feel a chill and fear when he learned about the information and photos.

How could there be anyone?

No psychological shadow.

Xie Shuyi raised his hand expressionlessly and pointed behind them. In fact, when they looked in the direction he pointed, Yin, who was lying there, seemed to be showing signs of waking up.

What they need to worry about now is no longer whether to kill Jie Shuyi, but whether they should kill Yin?

The hounds' attention was deprived, and the only ones who were still staring at Xie Shuyi were Suehiro Tetsuji and Jiono Caiju.

What a great opportunity to escape.

Xie Shuyi inadvertently glanced at the entrance of the underground river less than two meters away from him. He didn't know if the people from the hound team were too confident. No one blocked it. So he couldn't be blamed for escaping.

Xie Shuyi suddenly grabbed Tiaoye Caiju's wrist, and Suehiro Tiechang almost instantly put his saber against his neck, "What do you want to do?"

Xie Shuyi still didn't care, as if he was not afraid of being scratched by the sword at all, and just pressed most of his body on Tiao Ye Caiju.

The latter was originally squatting on the ground, but was pushed back half a step.

Tiaoye Caiju couldn't understand what Jie Shuyi was doing. He clearly sensed no murderous intent. He was curious about his next move, yet felt uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

When he wanted to reach out and push Jie Shuyi away, it was too late.

Zijie Shuyi's mood gradually calmed down, and his supernatural powers began to heal his body bit by bit. Although it had not yet fully recovered, his hands already had the same strength as before.

It took almost no effort to push Tiaoye Caiju down, and due to the previous action, Tiaoye Caiju's back was now less than half a meter away from the undercurrent cave entrance.

When the two men fell down at the same time, Xie Shuyi rolled over and most of his body fell into the cave.

Tiaoye Caiju happened to be pulling his wrist. She noticed that Jie Shuyi wanted to run away, so she pulled him hard. However, she didn't expect that Jie Shuyi had never intended to run alone from the beginning.

Along with a pulling force, Tiaoye Caiju was also brought into the undercurrent cave.
