Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

Kamijou Touma, who was caught off guard, was hit backwards and fell to the ground.

"Um!"

Because his hands and feet were bound and unable to move, Gu Ming Jijue, who couldn't maintain his center of gravity, also fell on Kamijou Touma again.For a while, the girl showed a troubled expression because of this intimate action, but soon she calmed down, barely twisted her body and crawled forward a little, staring at Kamijou Touma and making noise again.

"Uh, do you want me to take that off your mouth first?"

Kamijou Touma finally understood this time.

"No (nods)."

Gu Ming felt a long sigh.

Compared with an overly strong rope, it is much easier to take out this mouth ball. It is not that the material is not strong enough, but that this thing can only be removed with a very simple switch, and there is no combination lock installed so that it cannot be unlocked.

However, when removing the mouth ball, Kamijou Touma couldn't help but twitched his brows, because the mouth ball actually extended a long strip-shaped structure in the direction of the mouth. Judging from the size and length, it was worn before. The Gu Ming sense of the mouth ball is basically that the entire mouth to the upper part of the throat is completely filled.After persevering under such torture for almost a day, the girl didn't have any big reaction at all, but coughed a little when she took off the mouth ball, which made Kamijou Touma really don't know what to say something.

By the way, when taking this thing off, the girl's saliva also stuck to it, and it was stretched as Kamijou Touma took it off, forming crystal lines one after another, matching the girl's picture from The expression liberated from pain has a very bad feeling.

Kamijou Touma had to avoid his face, so that Gu Ming would not feel that he was blushing, although this kind of concealment did not make much sense.

"Thank you, Kamijou Touma."

Gu Ming regained his consciousness a little bit, and thanked Kamijou Touma softly.

"You know my name."

Kamijou Touma showed a somewhat curious expression.

"Well, I saw your name from your companion's thoughts."

Gu Mingjue didn't evade, and very generously admitted his mind-reading ability.

"Ahaha, Mr. Aiden also told us about this, anyway, let's get out of here first."

Kamijou Touma said so, after a little consideration, he hugged Gu Ming Jijue.

Much lighter than expected.

The soft, thin, boneless limbs, the light and thin dress that can directly feel the touch of the skin, and the red rope that tightly strangles the body, are extremely bad in every sense.However, the young man controlled his evil thoughts very well, just embraced Gu Ming's consciousness in the way of a princess, and searched for the exit seriously.

"Over there, over there is the safety exit."

Gu Ming Jijue who was held in his arms reminded Kamijou Touma.

"okay!"

The boy followed the direction indicated by the girl's gaze, and soon saw a green exit sign.

The communicator in his pocket rang at this moment, and Kamijou Touma found a corner to put down Gu Ming, then took out the communicator, and after it rang, Jiang Ming's voice came from inside.

【Kamijou, are you alright? 】

Jiang Ming shouted anxiously in the communication.

"I'm fine, and Miss Gu Mingdi is fine. We're looking for an exit now. The way back up is blocked. I can't untie the rope on Miss Gu Mingdi. Now I can only find another way to see if I can get out of here."

Kamijou Touma roughly explained what happened before.

[Jiang Ming: Okay, I have determined that the floor you are on is the minus 15th floor. Virgil and Dante fought too hard. It seems that they broke the load-bearing columns and the mechanical structure of the building. Now the building The upper area has collapsed and you must descend.We interrogated a few people here and said that it was the negative 50th floor of this building together with an abandoned sewer.I will find a way to come here as soon as possible, protect yourself, Kamijou.That's right, Miss Gu Mingdijue, your sister is safe and well, she is right next to me]

[Gu Ming Di Lian: Sister, come on, have a good relationship with the hedgehog-headed brother]

"puff!"

The voice that suddenly interjected after Jiang Ming finished speaking made Kamijou Touma and Gu Mingjiu cough.

"That voice is your sister?"

Kamijou Touma said with a dry laugh.

"...Don't mind, she says what she thinks, and sometimes it does."

Gu Mingzhi, who avoided his face because of embarrassment, said in a low voice, and at the same time became a little distressed because of the situation that he was tightly bound and unable to move.

If it wasn't for this rope and collar that can absorb demon power...

Wait, speaking of it, although this guy tried hard to untie the rope on her body, he completely ignored the collar and chain. Did he forget and subconsciously use it as decorations?Or is it intentional to ignore anything out of bad taste?

Because he couldn't read the other party's thoughts, Gu Ming felt a little uncontrollable and began to think wildly.

"Ahem, anyway, let's find a way to get out of here first. According to Jiang Ming, this building is about to collapse, and we have to leave as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Kamijou Touma once again hugged Gu Ming, walked through the safe passage, and walked through the dimly lit buildings.

The collapse of the superstructure had a greater impact on the lower floors than expected. It seems that the damage to the mechanical structures connecting the entire building caused obvious distortion and deformation in the structure of the entire building. Many places did not collapse. It is difficult to pass by being covered by fire.

The warm girl in his arms smelled good. No matter how the boy was a normal person, his face was blushing to some extent and his heart was beating. At this moment, he could only try his best not to pay attention to Gu Ming's sense, and seized the time to go downstairs continuously.

Negative 20 floors, negative 25 floors...

Several floors of buildings collapsed completely together. It took Kamijou Touma some time to find a narrow road that could barely pass.Lie down, hold the girl and move in bit by bit. In the end, he couldn't squeeze anymore, so he had to use Longhua's arm to break the barrier, and then rushed into the lower part before the surrounding area collapsed again due to the chain reaction. floor.

"You are hurt."

Gu Ming, who smelled blood, used the third eye floating on the side of his body to see the blood left by Kamijou Touma's back rubbing on the rubble just now.

"Occasionally forget to use the power of dragon transformation, but it's nothing."

Kamijou Touma shook his head with a smile.

"...Have you ever thought about the possibility of you dying here if this building collapses before we go out?"

As if thinking of something, Gu Mingjue closed his eyes, and suddenly spoke again.

"This kind of thing won't happen, don't worry, I will rescue you safely."

A sincere answer without a hint of pretense.

Is that kind of nice guy?It seems to be somewhat similar, no, not the same, even if you can't read the other person's heart, you can still feel this fiery emotion, this kind of emotion that you want to do, and you must firmly implement it to the end.

It seems that such a person is rarely seen even by myself who has gone through thousands of years, right?

Moreover, they just couldn't read the other party's heart.

It’s okay if it’s another situation, but you can’t know the other party’s inner thoughts. This sense of uncertainty can cause confusion, and you can’t grasp the other party’s true thinking. Such a radiant look.

What if he knew that it was actually her arrangement that they came here to rescue her?

Under such circumstances, would he still help himself so seriously?

Gu Mingjue closed his eyes again, unable to describe his emotions at the moment.

The ground shook at this moment, and some cracks that gradually spread could be seen on the surrounding walls.It is certain that if you continue to stay here, the situation will inevitably become worse and worse, and there is a real possibility of being buried inside and unable to get out.

Negative 30 floors, negative 40 floors...

The numbers in the stairwell are constantly changing.

From time to time, debris began to fall from the ceiling, and the ground under his feet was vibrating non-stop. If Kamijou Touma's physical fitness was not good enough, he might accidentally fall to the ground.

"It's really urgent."

But even at times like this, the boy just kept smiling.

"Don't you think it's worthless to save a guy who isn't even a human being and doesn't even know him from falling into such a dangerous situation?"

Gu Mingdijue spoke again, as if he couldn't understand the young man's emotions at the moment.

"It's not a question of whether it's worth it, and ah, you didn't give up living, did you?"

Then, the boy's answer made the girl's pupils shrink slightly.

What, what kind of saying is this?

It was as if he had seen through her, this weird guy.

"Why do you say that?"

The monster girl seemed to be aroused a little bit of curiosity.

"Because after I found you and opened the cage, you had a relaxed expression on your face. That expression of seeing hope can't fool me. Miss Gu Mingdi, even when you are already deep in the cage, You are still looking for a chance to escape, looking for a chance to survive, and you never give up, right?"

After crossing the negative 45th floor and kicking away a large stone blocking the stairs, Kamijou Touma continued to speak with a smile.

"So, since you and I haven't died yet, just don't give up and just work hard, so that we can be called alive, right?"

The values ​​of open-mindedness are not at all like the cognition that one's appearance age should possess.

Is it born this way?Or shaped?

Being rescued by this kind of guy, shouldn't it be used to torture his conscience?

Gu Mingjue sighed softly.

"I have never given up hope of surviving and escaping, and your arrival really reassures me, because I have always bet that you will come."

Then, when Kamijou Touma had to find another way because the stairs below were completely blocked by gravel, the monster girl suddenly said.

"Hey?"

Kamijou Touma was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what she meant by that.

"I stole that stone, it's the one given to the Demon King."

The clear red eyes did not contain any hint of lying.

"I saw your group in the exhibition hall, and I read the thoughts of your companions. I know that whether it is Mr. Jiang Ming, Dante, or Nero, they are good people who will not tolerate evil and hate evil like hatred. Such People, in the face of this kind of alien slave trade, will inevitably intervene."

"I stole the stone on purpose because I know that my captors will destroy the nanomachine cluster in order to avoid whereabouts. Ordinary police officers can't find out the problem, but you know Neo, the savior has the powerful ability to control all artificial intelligence. Power, this kind of little trick can't fool him, so you will definitely find more and more problems that are concealed. And this guidance will eventually make you hostile to this underground auction house. Of course, the ones who will be torn apart must be A weaker auction house."

"In other words, I used you."

If you say it, maybe you will be hated, but for a guy who behaves so honestly, if he continues to deceive, he always feels that he can't do it.

Is it because I have returned to the orderly world and no longer hide, so I have become vulnerable and emotional?

With his eyes closed, Gu Mingji felt calm, even if Kamijou Touma yelled or left her alone, she wouldn't care.Anyway, the monster's life is very hard, even if it is buried in the rubble pile, it will not die.

"What, it's just this kind of thing."

Then again, got a somewhat unexpected reaction.

"Hey?"

The girl who opened her eyes saw the boy's usual gentle smile.

"This kind of thing is not important at all."
