Spatial Crack

"It?"

She bit her lower lip until it was white. Kurumi gently shook her little head and raised her head to look at Li Jiayu. She said coldly, "It's nothing."

Kurumi's beautiful face was reflected in his ice-blue eyes. No matter what the situation was, she was always stunning. She opened her mouth, but he never thought that Kurumi would answer like this.

Leaning against the wall behind her, a trace of coldness invaded her injured body. She couldn't help but tighten her new thread-bound clothes. Her eyes did not meet Li Jiayu's gaze. Instead, they hung to the corner of his clothes.

"I went to the south of the city these few days. I wanted to see how the corpse there was. In the end, I ran into a Tier 3 monster."

"Why didn't you just run away?"

Her head turned to the side. Her long black hair blocked his vision like a waterfall. That needle-like feeling was very uncomfortable.

Li Jiayu could feel Kurumi inhaling slightly, and her voice sounded again. Even if she spoke calmly, there was a charm that could not be erased.

"There was an accident."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"..."

The two of them fell into silence. He knew that Kurumi did not want to explain too much to him. No matter what the reason was, it was fine. However, this depression in his heart made him want to vent it out!

Today, she was injured. What about tomorrow? Leaving without making a sound? Leaving her alone? Li Jiayu did not dare to think any further. His jade-like hand clenched into a fist. His finger bone was faintly pale.

The aura on her body was like a deflated ball. He deflated, "What about tomorrow? Are you still going?"

As if sensing something, Kurumi turned her head around and said, "I'm not going."

He moved to the side. Just as he took the first step, the soles of his shoes picked up the dust on the ground. Before he raised his other foot, he fell back down.

Li Jiayu turned to look at Kurumi, who was leaning against the wall. There was still no trace of recovery on her pale face. "In the future, you can tell me anything you want. I feel that my strength is not bad. I should be able to help you."

"After all, we are companions, aren't we?"

Kurumi did not respond. Li Jiayu turned around and reached out her hand. He wanted to touch that pitiful pale face, but Kurumi flashed by.

He was not embarrassed. "When we go back and find Sister Xiao to treat us, there is not much time left."

After speaking, he did not make any other movements and walked out with large strides. However, his clenched fists were still trembling slightly, proving that his heart was not as calm as he appeared to be.

Kurumi placed her hands behind her back. Her pure white jade-like fingers were even better than the white porcelain bricks on the wall. Her fingertips gently tapped it as she muttered, "A companion?"

Her eyelids drooped even lower, and she could only see the intoxicating red from the bottom.

Apart from a few people who had been "companions" with her, they were all dead.

When Kurumi saw that she had nothing to do with herself, she began to have ideas about the Devil Fruit. Many of those things fell from the alien dimension to Xijiang City. It could be seen from the early stage of the Great Escape.

"Did anyone come early? There must be! When everyone was busy, Kurumi sneaked into Xijiang City alone. She also went to two places in the Land of Chaos and killed a few people. She went to the Anning District again. With the protection of Sun Lu and Sun Rui, nothing happened."

Finally, she locked onto the corpse chaos! There was the help of the Ghost Inheritor. The army was barely separated from the corpse group. However, the lack of bullets made it easy to save. Otherwise, they should have crossed the Impel Down.

After all, there was no real Corpse Race. They were all humans who had been accidentally infected. They searched all the places where the devil fruit could appear, but they could not find anything.

When she went over again today, she did not lie to Li Jiayu. She had encountered a Tier 3 monster!

It was not like the Corpse Race, nor did it seem infected by humans. From its perspective of it, it seemed to be a combination. It also did not provoke the monster. However, if it were accidentally discovered, it would chase after her and not let go!

Stealth was completely useless! It could instantly determine the three directions of Kurumi and launch a fierce attack!

Twilight was firmly suppressed in close combat.

In the last adventure, she used her spiritual power, but the sudden burst of heat almost caused her to die on the spot!

Even now, her lower abdomen and limbs were faintly aching. She couldn't muster any strength at all. This was also the reason why Li Jiayu could pull her away with a pull.

The outcome would have been very bad if the army hadn't discovered that monster. Were you using stimulants? On the first day of escape, she might have been killed.

The Ghost Inheritors in the army did not notice Kurumi. They also did not know what the "Corpse Race" was. The top snipers were providing support to the inheritors. As for whether they killed it in the end? Kurumi did not know either.

However, it was probably about the same. The monster's injuries were not light either. It would not recover in a short time. Whether they could seize the opportunity or not would depend on themselves.

Moreover, when she returned, some cracks suddenly appeared in the sky. This made Kurumi very uneasy. She could sense countless auras within them. Third rank. Second rank. There was temporarily no lord. However, it was only temporary!

The spatial fluctuations were powerful! As the darling of time and space, even if she had not officially accepted this power, she could sense that the ten days deadline Li Jiayu had mentioned was about to be pushed forward!

Just as she was about to walk back, someone called out from the side of the stairs, "Kurumi."

She subconsciously looked up and saw Ran Hongxia and Jie Geng. A smile appeared on her face as she walked up to them. "What are you doing here?"

Jie Geng looked at Kurumi carefully. Besides her pale face and unstable aura, she did not seem to be any different from usual.

Ran Hongxia was just about to speak when she felt something stuck in her throat. What was she going to say? Why did she distance herself from us? What had she been doing these past few days? This was too direct.

"Huh?" Kurumi was a little confused. Her little head tilted, and she looked at the two people in front of her in confusion. What was wrong with them?

"Uh." From Ran Hongxia's mouth, she forced out a sentence with an unknown meaning. Out of the corner of her eye, she happened to see Jie Geng beside her. Her eyes lit up, and she said to Kurumi, "Jie Geng said you were injured. We came to see you."

In her eyes, the cold face of Jie Geng was reflected. It was obvious that she did not want to explain this matter. She blinked her eyes and said, "I'm fine. I just received a small injury. It's not a big deal."

The atmosphere became stiff. Ran Hongxia stared at Kurumi, and her heart was trembling. She used the serious expression she usually used to command students and said, "Come with me. You have to explain everything to me today!"

She raised her eyebrows slightly. It was the first time that Ran Hongxia had been so tough in front of her. She was usually very uncomfortable!

Just like Li Jiayu, she directly pulled her back. Her weak body was easily dragged away. She had no choice but to follow behind her. It was an accident!

However, in his heart, Kurumi continued to ask herself.
