Chapter 24 June 6 (Sunday) 0:10 midnight

Natsuko clapped her hands together to attract everyone's attention. "Apart from love of beauty, who else wants to be free? If not, start now." Nobuaki stood up and said "accept heads-up". "I'm leaving first! Go and play by yourself..." Shengli quickly ran away from the scene. "I won't accompany you anymore." "I don't want to die yet." Soon after Seungri left, Takuya, Yuna, Aya, Rina, and Rina also ran away one after another. "Liao, you go too!" Nobuaki yelled at Liao, who had lost his will to live and collapsed on the spot crying.

However, Liao showed no sign of wanting to leave. He just stared blankly at Huihuang's body and kept shouting, "Huihuang, where's your head...?" "Have you read the order? Let's go!" "Look, Nobuaki... Teruaki has lost his head... You must help him find it." Nobuaki slapped Liao on the cheek, looking at him eagerly. "Now is not the time to be sad! You have to live for Huihuang! This is your mission! Don't make Huihuang sad again! Do you understand? If you understand, run away!" "Nobuaki...then what do you do?" "I'm going to keep Natsuko here. Think back to the relay race at the sports meet! You should know that guy's physical fitness is very good! How many times do I need to say that!"

Only then did Liao wipe away tears, turned and ran away.Nobuaki looked at Liao's back and ran further and further away. Liao is Huihuang's good buddies, so Nobuaki is determined to protect him. "Goodbye, if I can, I will definitely go to you. Nazuko, let's fight alone..." However, Nazuko, who was standing aside, disappeared at some point. "Taken! Let that guy escape!" Nobuaki frowned and murmured. "Is it the head of the tortoise? Here is at least 100 kilometers away from that place...? Don't talk about being united, everyone will fight to the death, and it is impossible to unite..."

Nobuaki opened the text message again to confirm. After reading the text message, Nobuaki was about to run when he suddenly saw a lonely figure sitting on the ground with his hands folded around his knees.That person is Amy. Nazuko leaves Aimi and runs away alone.Shouldn't she at least say hello to Amy? Nobuaki said to Amy, "Shall we run together?" "...I want to stay here." "After 8 hours, the person who is farthest from the ruins of the head of the turtle will be punished and will die. Do you still want to stay?" "Ok." "Have you lost the will to live?"

"Ok." "Do you want me to tell Nazuko something?" "Please tell her and ask her to come on." Nobuaki grabbed Aimi by the shoulders and pulled her up, put her on his back and started running. "What are u doing?" "Tell Natsuko yourself." "It was you who asked me if I had anything to tell Nazuko. ... You will not be able to run if you keep my words behind your back, and you will be punished when the time comes. Stop now." "Since you're worried about me, run away by yourself. Unless you're willing to run away by yourself, I won't let you down. Nazuko left you and ran away. You should at least scold her."

You idiot, Nobuaki cursed himself in his mind. After 8 hours, the person farthest from the ruins of the head of the turtle will have to accept punishment and die. Of course, it is impossible to run 100 kilometers in only 8 hours.Since Amy doesn't want to live, wouldn't it be good to sacrifice her?Why do you still force her to run...? Nobuaki said: "If you really can't run, don't run. But now please run, please? Please." Nobuaki couldn't leave her alone. "Don't give up!" Nobuaki shouted in his heart. Aimi on Nobuaki's back began to struggle.

"Put me down and I'll run by myself." Nobuaki breathed a sigh of relief and put Aimi off his back. "We are already far behind, we need to run faster. Ah, first cancel the setting of rejecting the king's text message." "Why did you save me?" "Do you need any reason to save people?" Nobuaki and Aimi ran quickly towards the ruins of the turtle head. "Nobuaki is like an immortal body." Amy finally had a smile on her face. At this time, Nobuaki said in a voice so small that others could hardly hear it: "What immortal body... Am I looking for death now?"

Countless stars are blinking in the night sky, and the moon is also shining with silver light. This is the night scene tonight. The six people who ran towards the ruins of the head of the turtle one step ahead ran along the edge of the driveway like a formation, and there were almost no cars passing along the road. The lanes are provided with street lights at regular intervals.When moving away from the previous street lamp, the light becomes darker and darker, and when approaching the next street lamp, the light becomes brighter and brighter. There was a car approaching at high speed ahead, and the blinding white light from the headlights made the six people almost invisible.

The car honked its horn as it whizzed past them. The 6-member formation ignored it and continued to run forward silently. When encountering an overpass, he climbed up the steps quickly at a trotting speed. At this time, the originally smooth speed was suddenly interrupted by Takuya. Takuya grabbed the hem of Seungri who was running ahead, and pushed him off the stairs without warning.Victory fell down the ladder without warning. Victory stretched out his hand and scratched.It doesn't matter what, steps or handrails, as long as you can grab something, you can stop. Unfortunately, Victory didn't catch anything in the end, and rolled all the way to the bottom of the ladder, curled up in a ball, motionless.

"Sorry, who told you to stand in front of me." After losing this sentence, Takuya continued to run forward. The others stood where they were, staring blankly at the scene that just happened. Cai Kuo began to stride, and she hurried down the stairs. Victory's eyes were closed, and he couldn't tell if he passed out or died. When it fell just now, the head should have been hit quite a bit.A trail of blood stretched from his forehead to the corner of his mouth.Cai intuitively knew that he could not move Shengli's body casually, so he had to measure his pulse first. Victory's fingertips were severely bruised, probably caused by scratching in a hurry when he fell just now.

Cai couldn't forgive Takuya who pushed Victory down, and couldn't help cursing angrily: "Didn't it mean to unite! Didn't you mean to help each other!" At this time, Takuya had already run across the overpass, and he couldn't be seen from Cai's position, only the voices of each other could be heard. "For a moment, Nobuaki and Teruaki really touched me, but I will never be able to become like them." Rina raised her heartbroken Cai, and said, "The victory is already... Cai, let's go." "Do you want to leave Victory behind? He's still alive." "He will run away on his own after he wakes up. You are like a bodhisattva crossing the river, and you will not be able to protect yourself." "Wait a minute, I'll call an ambulance." "Taking him to the hospital will waste a lot of time. And... an ambulance is a vehicle, that is, a means of transportation. This will violate the rules of the game. It's not that we are cold-blooded, but victory can only depend on our own luck now." "..." "We still have to drag our tired bodies for more than 100 kilometers. If we send Shengli to the hospital, it will definitely be too late. This is my last advice. If you insist on staying, I won't stop you." "Nobuaki, Nazuko, and Aimi, I don't know where they are now..." Sad Cai muttered to herself.Seeing her appearance, Rina said in a chillingly cold tone: "A long time ago, there was a murderous tortoise that could eat people. To a murderous tortoise, it was actually just slaughtering livestock. To put it bluntly, then It is a tortoise that eats humans as domestic animals. The murderous tortoise gave an order to the nearby villagers, which aroused the villagers' anger and decided to join forces to deal with the tortoise. Many villagers died because of this, but they still couldn't kill the tortoise. Finally, a pair of young men and women appeared, successfully cut off the head of the killer turtle and threw it into the sea, ending the tragedy. It is said that the head of the killer turtle turned into a huge rocky island. This is a An ancient legend. That island is the head of the murderous turtle, which is where the name Turtle Head comes from." "What do you mean by all of a sudden?" "In the legend, the murderous tortoise once gave an order to the villagers. But what was the order, and how did the young couple cut off the head of the murderous tortoise? The legend did not explain very well about these details. clear." "At this time, you still have the mood to tell a story." "That legend has a follow-up. I heard that the head of the turtle is actually a bloody ruin." Nobuaki and Aimi rushed to catch up, hoping to catch up with those who set off earlier.After running for about 2 hours, I still didn't find anyone else. Did you go the wrong way?Or are they already far ahead? Do you want to call the cell phone?still…… "Hello." Aimi's voice interrupted Nobuaki's thinking. "What's wrong? Are you tired?" With a cold tone, Amy said lightly: "Actually, the ruins of the turtle head are a terrible ruins stained with blood. It used to be a military facility of the army, not a historical site such as ancient tombs, zhongluo, and shell mounds. , but the ruins of military installations. "The head of the turtle is now an abandoned island. There are only a few scattered memorial monuments, bronze statues of soldiers, a ruined air-raid shelter, and a few dilapidated buildings. I heard that many people died there during the war. People, and even rumors, said that ulterior human experiments were conducted there, and they were all very inhuman and cruel experiments... The head of the turtle is such a place. "Nobuaki, what do you think when you hear this? Why do you think the king wants us to go to the head of the turtle?" "……I do not know either." What is the force that guides us?Where is it taking us again...?Nobuaki couldn't help showing a wry smile. "I was thinking, could it be... No, maybe I'm thinking too much." At this time, Nobuaki suddenly noticed that not far ahead, there seemed to be a figure from behind who was dragging forward with staggering steps. The two hurried forward to confirm.It's Rizuna. Her shiny curly hair has lost all its elasticity and looks almost straight, and she has severe dark circles around her eyes. Nobuaki almost didn't recognize her as Riuena.Rizuna squinted at Nobuaki, and said weakly, "Leave me alone, everyone has already run far ahead." Seeing Rizuna's downcast appearance, Nobuaki asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" "Well, have you passed the overpass along the national highway?" "No, we didn't go there." "Really...? Anyway, go away. I'm fine." "Aimi, you stay here with Rizuna first." After Nobuaki finished speaking, he ran away quickly.Riuena stopped, looked at Nobuaki's back, and asked Aimi, "What was the result of the duel between Nazuko and Nobuaki?" "ran away." Rizuna let out a long sigh.Amy continued: "I just said 'run away', don't you want to know 'who ran away'?" "I don't want to. Aimi, let me ask you, have you ever thought about 'death'? When I saw Huihuang die up close, I once thought, if I become like that, then..." "I never thought about it." "Take it!" Nobuaki interrupted their conversation.He held cold canned sports drinks in his hand and handed them to Rizuna and Aimi respectively. "You must be thirsty? This is the best time to drink this sports drink! If you are dehydrated, it will be terrible." Nobuaki pulled the tab, brought the mouth of the can to his mouth, and drank happily. Riuena couldn't help laughing, and reached out to take the sports drink. "You are really leisurely. You really don't need to worry about me. You can run first, and so is Amy!" "Is it really all right?" "It's so annoying! If I still need people to worry about me, do I still deserve the name Rizuna? I'll catch up with you soon... But be careful with Takuya." "Be careful with Takuya? I understand. Riuena, you must follow." Nobuaki and Aimi kept running.Rizuna was behind, watching their backs as they gradually moved away. "If I follow your words, it will only get in the way. I hate being a burden to others." Riuena, who was alone, felt a sharp pain in her chest.Emotions of loneliness and sadness came in waves like waves. To distract herself, she picked up the sports drink Nobuaki had given her and started to drink it. "The nails are too long and I can't pull them apart. Nobuaki is so stupid, didn't he think that this is for girls to drink?...Who will open it for me?" Amy looked back from time to time as she ran.She asked worriedly, "Risuna...is it really okay?" "Keep running, don't think so much. It's important that we catch up with the people in front first." Nobuaki and Aimi ran along the industrial road for about 30 minutes, and finally saw a group of people running ahead of them. They are Yuna, Ryo, Aya, and Rina.Sure enough, Liao still caught up with everyone. Liao jumped up happily when he saw Nobuaki and Aimi chasing up from behind. "Look! It's Nobuaki and Aimi! They're behind, behind!" After Nobuaki and the others joined Yuna, Ryo, Aya, and Rina, everyone stopped for a while. Caiben was very worried about being pushed off the bridge and causing Shengli to be unconscious, and hesitated whether to stay and take care of him.But in the end, under Rina's persuasion, he still made a painful decision.That is to stay victorious and follow everyone to move forward. Although Yuna also joined in the persuasion, she was actually very confused and didn't know whether she should give up the victory.However, if you stay, you will waste a lot of time, and you will definitely be late. Every 8 hours, the person who is farthest from the head of the turtle must be punished.In this case, we had to sacrifice victory. When this thought flashed through his mind, Yuna decided to stand by Rina. Yuna was unable to leave Victory and Cai and run away at first because she didn't want to be charged with "doing nothing" and "cold-blooded". "Everyone thinks so." Yuna convinced herself that it was the best decision to lose victory. Nobuaki breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liao with everyone.But he also noticed at the same time that Shengli and Takuya were both gone. "Where are Seungri and Takuya?" Cai broke the silence and said solemnly: "Victory... was pushed off the bridge by Takuya and fell into a coma, so we had to leave him behind. Takuya who pushed him ran away first." Nobuaki finally understood why Riuena asked them "whether they passed the overpass" and told them to "be careful with Takuya". Because if Nobuaki passed the overpass, he would probably stay and take care of Seungri.In this way, it will delay a lot of time. Riona must have been thinking "It's a good thing you didn't go that way". Rina suddenly raised her voice and said, "Nobuaki, don't blame us for throwing away the victory! We have no other choice, but we all have the same idea. We have no other choice!" Rina must be struggling in her heart to be so excited.She hoped that Nobuaki would agree with their decision. "I won't blame you, but I want you to take care of Amy." Nobuaki looked at Aimi with caring eyes and said, "You should feel more secure with everyone, right? Run hard." After finishing speaking, Nobuaki ran in the opposite direction of the turtle head. "Where are you going?" Rina asked. "I'm going to see Seungri and Riona." "You big fool!" "You don't need to say it, I know it myself, I'm sorry." Nobuaki ran back the way he had just come.Rina looked at Nobuaki's back and murmured, "What Nobuaki did...is just being a hero." The industrial road is quiet and the lighting is poor. Nobuaki ran in the damp tunnel, and a gloomy sense of terror crept up his back. The yellow signal lights flickered on and off.The rear lights of the large truck parked on the side of the road also flashed non-stop.Shining objects filled Nobuaki's eyes. Nobuaki called Riuena and Nazuko on the cell phone, but neither of them got through. After running back for about 20 minutes. Nobuaki found Rizuna running wearily in the middle of the oncoming lane about 30 meters ahead.Nobuaki breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself, "That's great...but, if you run in that place, you'll get hit by a car." Nobuaki couldn't stop Riuena who was concentrating on running, so he ran to her side by himself. Although the distance between the two was very close, Riuena did not notice Nobuaki. Didn't you notice it because you were so focused on running?Or are you too tired to pay attention to what's going on around you? "Risuna." Nobuaki called her to stop.Riuena's shoulders twitched, and she turned to look at Nobuaki with horror on her face. "Please, are you trying to scare me to death!" "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Riona showed Nobuaki what was in her hand.It was the canned sports drink that Nobuaki had given her earlier. "My nails are too long to open, please open them for me." "Are you running with it? Will it slow you down? Why don't you throw it away?" "Don't be instigated by Luo Liba, quickly open it for me." After Nobuaki opened the pull tab, he returned it to Riona. Rizuna couldn't wait to gulp down the drink, as if there were tears in her eyes. ——This journey is really lonely and scary.No one ran with him, and no one helped open the sports drink... Riuena shook her head, not wanting to continue digging into the corner. She drank the entire can in one gulp, then whispered to Nobuaki in embarrassment, "Thank you, I'm alive again." Nobuaki looked at her with a smile. At this time, a regular running sound came from the dark place behind.The sound is getting closer. For a moment, the sound of running seemed to be out of rhythm, but soon returned to a steady pace. Nobuaki looked around the sound of footsteps.Suddenly, a surprised expression appeared on his face, as if he saw a ghost. "……victory." "What are you trying to say? Nobuaki, is it that scary to see me?" The source of that footsteps was Victory with blood on his face. His shirt sleeves were stained with blood, and his entire face seemed to have been smeared with blood.Probably wiped it with the sleeve. Victory gritted his teeth and cursed: "I will never let that guy go! That bastard Takuya!" Nobuaki is very clear that "resentment and vengeful anger" are the source of motivation for Seungri to continue running.
