[Hunter Doujin] Journey

When Xiaojie and Qiya finished talking, it had been more than an hour, and Annie and Ed sat quietly aside.

"Ah, sorry to keep you waiting." Xiaojie scratched his head.

"It's not too long to wait, and it's interesting to listen to your conversation." Ed had a smile on his face.

After thinking about it, Annie stepped forward.

"This is my mailbox." She took out a card and handed it to Xiaojie. "You can contact me through this in the future."

"En! I will definitely contact you." Xiaojie accepted the card with a smile.

After Annie left, only Xiaojie and Ed were left in the room.After chatting for a while, they went about their own business. Xiaojie started to write the homework that had been left behind recently, while Ed continued to write his novel.

During the process, Xiaojie also called back Jin who called him again, but the phone was still in a state of being unavailable, so he had no choice but to give up.

……

Night, sky without moon and stars.A figure flitted across the city until he landed in front of an open window.

Instinctively in danger, Xiaojie opened his eyes from the bed, he subconsciously looked towards the window, and there was a figure standing there.

"This smell..." Before he could see who the other party was, the figure disappeared. "Wait!" Xiaojie also stepped on the window and chased him out.

"Huh? What happened?" Ed was woken up by the movement, and only saw the back of Xiaojie jumping out of the window. "Xiaojie!?"

After following the other party around the city, the other party stopped in an alley.

"Who are you!?" Xiaojie shouted to him standing at the entrance of the alley. "You guys are the ones who turned me into a girl."

"I didn't expect you to recognize me after such a long time." The other party turned around, and a face of the same age as Xiaojie was facing him.

"Tell me, what is your purpose!"

"I can understand your desire to change back as soon as possible, but you shouldn't change back so quickly."

"What do you mean?"

"You can also feel how much this change has affected the body."

"……what do you want to say in the end!"

"One more year at most." The boy stretched out a finger.

"what?"

"The restrictions and oaths you used when you fought Pido before, the price should be your life and mind ability." The boy still looked at Xiaojie indifferently and said:

"Although you were reluctantly rescued from that state by your friends afterwards, your price is not as simple as losing the ability to read."

The other party tilted his head and looked sideways at Xiaojie.

"You have at most one year left to live."

"!"

"So you shouldn't change back so quickly."

Hearing what the boy said, Xiaojie bit his lip, and then rushed towards him.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" But his fist quickly missed, and the other party turned sideways and punched her on the back.This speed is faster than the previous fight with Annie, so Xiaojie didn't even react.

"If you want to continue to live, then you must go to the Dark Continent to get food that can make people live longer." The boy looked down at Xiaojie.

"But before that, you can only wait to die if you don't have the ability to read. The only hope we give you is to let you use the girl's body to get close to the fourth prince."

"what?"

"In about two months, the ship carrying the princes of Kajin will be docked on the island near the Dark Continent. At that time, you must use that female body to get close to the fourth prince and get the qualification to go to the Dark Continent .”

"Let me tell you in advance that Kajin's fourth prince likes to skin and destroy those young women who are full of vigor and future."

The boy squatted down, and he picked up Xiaojie's collar and smiled coldly:

"And in the royal family of the Kajin Kingdom, there is something called the Nian Pot, which is the second thing that can ensure your survival. It can give birth to Nian Beast."

"Nian Beast?"

"It's something that survives by absorbing thoughts, and displays different abilities with the personality of the host. Although you won't be able to feel it in the future, you actually still have the ability to have thoughts."

"..."

"Finally, I advise you not to disclose this matter to others. Even if you get there and meet acquaintances, you can't let them know who you are." His eyes met Xiaojie's .

"On the 15th of next month, we will wait for you at the alley in Del City, at 11:[-] p.m., no later. Of course, you have to come here as a woman." After finishing speaking, the boy let go of Xiaojie's collar left.

Xiaojie clenched his fists, he fell to the ground and looked at the man's back and shouted: "...Asshole! Do you think I will believe what you say?!"

"Believe it or not is up to you, don't you know your own body?" The boy left without looking back.

Just when Xiaojie was about to get up, there was a sudden astringency in his nose, and he subconsciously wiped it with his hand, and the bright red blood was on the palm of his hand.

He was stunned.Then, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

He knew very well that his constraints and vows were obtained by paying all the price at that time.

Yes... at all costs.

He is willing to use up all his mental abilities, including his life, just to be able to defeat Peter, even if he dies in battle.In other words, it was just to die together... At that time, my mind was full of thoughts, and it didn't matter if it ended like this.

"Will I... die?" This once indifferent thing has now become a shackle.

The nosebleeds flowed down drop by drop, covering the eyes, dazzling like roses blooming under the night.

Xiaojie sat up, leaning his back against the wall, his mind blank.

What the other party said was true or false, and now he didn't know how to judge.

"Xiaojie! Where are you, Xiaojie?" Ed's voice lingered in the silent city, pulling back Xiaojie's thoughts. "Ed!"

Xiaojie stood up, and when he saw Ed, he wanted to give him a reassuring smile, but found that he couldn't do it.

"Ed, what should I do?" Now he has no direction at all.

"What's wrong, what happened?"

After that, Xiaojie told Ed all about what happened just now, which made Ed stunned.

"I don't know how to choose. Do I believe what those people said? I don't want to believe it! But I can't deny that the boy is telling the truth!" Xiaojie looked at the lines on his palm, where the lifeline was clearly still there. very long.

"..." This is the first time Ed has encountered such a thing, and he even knows that every word he says next will change the fate of others, which makes it difficult for him to speak.

"... Ed, how can I survive?" Although Xiaojie already had the answer in his heart, he still asked.

"I...I don't know." Ed also lowered his head sadly, it was difficult for him to make up his mind for Xiaojie.He never thought that Xiaojie's life would be shorter than his own.This was something he was unwilling to face, so he said directly: "But I want you to survive."

"I don't want you to die, but I don't know what to do with you." Ed could only say that:

"I know that if you pass, there may be no going back. There won't even be a one-year deadline...but even so, I want you to live."

Xiaojie raised his head, seeing Ed's sad look, he finally put on his usual bright smile.Xiaojie doesn't like to bring a sad atmosphere to the people around him, so he quickly adjusted his mood after regaining his sanity. "Ah, so, then it looks like I have to try it."

In the end, Xiaojie raised his finger mischievously and said: "Don't worry, Ed, I won't die, I will live on. Maybe after finding the longevity food, we can be half of each other, so we can all live...More— —”

But before he finished speaking, Xiaojie was held in Ed's arms.This was a feeling he had never felt before. Xiaojie couldn't figure out how he felt in his heart at this moment, but he still understood that he was being cared for.

"Well, that's settled." Ed said.

"kindness."
