Chapter 127 - Escaping from Arcanum Train (XX)
Editor: Kitty
That was how they got out from carriage No.5. When Crow stabbed Wolf with the knife, he really dug out a key from his heart. Crow twisted his head to look at Black cat and raised the key to show it to him.
Crow’s hands were b.l.o.o.d.y, and his chest and face had also been splashed by blood. His dark eyes seemed to be covered with blood, and when the corners of his mouth showed his white teeth, the sight of him appeared horrifying. He appeared just like a fierce and vicious devil who had just climbed out of some part of h.e.l.l.
Black cat remained silent as usual, but this time, he was a little shocked. He squinted his eyes and thought about countermeasures. At this moment, in front of him, Crow had just killed another companion. No matter whether Crow was the so-called ‘murderer’ or not, at this moment, the threat that was in front of him was also great enough that Black cat must send him to his death.
Then, should he act upon it?
Black cat watched Crow stagger to his feet. He realized that Crow was in a very bad state now. He looked a little crazy, like a completely irrational beast, and appeared quite different from how he was previously. Black cat did not know whether he was previously pretending to be harmless or if that was how he was originally.
With a knife in one hand and the key in the other, Crow walked toward Black cat step by step. His footsteps echoed in the silent carriage now, as if the sound his feet falling on the ground had become the rhythm of Black cat’s heart. Black cat clenched his fist slightly and leaned forward, and his center of gravity sank. He appeared alert and was ready to fight at any given time.
But unexpectedly, Crow did not act against Black cat. He swayed in front of Black cat, and his next action completely exceeded Black cat’s expectations. Crow actually threw away the knife and key in his hands, and the entirety of him collapsed into Black cat’s arms, rubbing the scarlet blood onto Black cat’s clothes.
Black cat subconsciously reached out and hugged him. He immediately smelled the strong scent of blood surging to his nose. Lowering his head, he saw Crow giving him a gentle smile, which made Black cat feel a little infatuated.
“You see, there are only the two of us here.” Crow reached for Black cat’s waist, and his fingers touched Black cat’s back. This was actually very dangerous. The spine was a fatal weakness of a human.
But Black cat was unable to pay attention to it because Crow suddenly approached him and moved his face so close to him that his breath sprayed on his face. Black cat’s eyes widened, and he looked at Crow’s eyes, which came nearer to him. Crow’s black, inky eyes seemed to reveal a river of stars that was luring Black cat to get closer to him.
Black cat felt gooseb.u.mps all over his body at the sight of Crow.
It was an indescribable feeling. Although it was only for a moment and had been well-suppressed by Black cat, even if he rationally tried to keep a distance with this man, he found that it was futile. As long as he got a little closer to Crow, Black cat would feel as if there was something in his body like a devil in his heart that was howling and roaring all the time—hurry, swallow him!
How horrifying.
Black cat held the man in his arms tightly. He could not help but tighten his arms while trying to suppress the urge to send this man into his stomach. However, he could not control his fingers as they moved to the right to touch the man’s back. His fingers then slithered to his waist.
Black cat felt his neck was a little itchy. Crow rubbed his face against the curve of his neck, and his lips rubbed against his skin there. It gave Black cat the illusion that he would come closer to take a bite on his neck any time.
But the mere thought of this also made Black cat slightly excited.
He almost placed his fingers in Crow’s clothesk2026;k2026; Oh, in fact, his fingers had already reached in. The cold fingertips felt the wondrous touch of skin, causing him to tremble. Black cat lowered his head as he excitedly waited to have a good taste of the little devil in his arms.
But the little devil held a finger up and blocked Black cat’s lips.
“This is not a good place, sir.” Crow squinted. He was closely attached to Black cat; there was no gap between the two of them, and every part of their bodies seemed to be closely pasted together as they indulged in sensual pleasures.
Disregarding the corpse lying by their feet.
“I know what kind of eyes you use when you’re staring at me.” Crow’s face was pale, but it also carried a tint of morbid red. Although his face clearly looked delicate, the blood stains on his face made him look devilishly attractive.
Crow placed his hands around Black cat’s neck and whispered, “You’ve been following me since we met at that train car since the very beginning, trailing at me with those terrifying eyes. Which part of me were you looking at?”
Crow cupped Black cat’s cheeks: “Are you looking at my eyes? Or…… my face? My neck or my shoulders? Or my waist?…… Of course, if we go down further…”
They had pasted their lower bodies tightly against each other, so they could easily feel the changes in the other party’s body. The change was so obvious that Crow could not help rubbing against him with their pants on. Both parties trembled. Crows licked his dry lips and moved his lips closer to Black cat. They look very close, just like a couple that was about to kiss.
But he did not succeed in kissing the other.
Black cat’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and he acted even when he was caught unprepared. He grabbed Crow’s hair with one hand and pulled his head back. In the other hand, he grasped Crow’s other arm. He moved that arm away because Crow had a knife in his hand. Crow had been holding the knife while trying to put it against Black cat’s neck.
Black cat had no doubt that as long as he had moved to kiss him moments ago, Crow would have cut his head off.
“You are carrying so many weapons, my little darling.” Black cat could not help but give him a grin.
“Oh! d.a.m.n! I thought this would work.” Crow looked a little remorseful, though one could tell he didn’t even feel the slightest regret even if his arm was caught and he was subdued by the other party.
But Crow was still persistent about seducing Black cat, so he very regretfully glanced at Black cat’s lower body. He said: “You are clearly hard. Why don’t we go on? This way, I can also happily achieve what I want to accomplish.”
“Afterwards, I’ll let you successfully cut my head off?” Black cat pinched Crow’s arm. Crow lost the strength in that arm instantaneously, and because he could not properly grip on to the knife, it fell to the ground.
As soon as the threat was removed, Black cat immediately took Crow to his arms. Subsequently, he grabbed him and pressed him on the sofa next to him.
With the prey’s claws removed, the rest of him could only be trampled upon by the other party.
It was apt to describe it as trampled upon. Black cat liked it very much. He grabbed Crow’s clothes and pulled them down hard. The frail b.u.t.tons broke open, revealing the beautiful chest of the other party. His clean skin, flat abdomen, and abdominal muscles clearly showed that this evil little devil had done ample exercises.
“Do you want to do me? Sir…” Crow didn’t know whether he did it intentionally or not, but he opened his legs and bent them, causing his current posture to look lewder.
Mr. Black cat was obviously short of breath now. He bit on the other’s clavicle and left some red marks. However, Mr. Black cat did not continue because his sense of reason told him that it was not a good move to do so.
The man in his arms was obviously the murderer written on the note. He had ferociously started to slaughter others for no reason. Although Black cat felt that he liked him a little, it was a different kind of like. He merely just liked him. It was not to the point where him liking a person meant that he should pretend to be ignorant and allow that person to his life. Black cat felt that this kind of behaviour seemed quite stupid.
Black cat was not a stupid person. He knew what he needed to do—for example, kill the murderer, find the key, and escape?
Black cat glanced at Crow’s eyes, which had grown a little dark, Heavens knew what kind of psychology was at work. Black cat did not want to hurt the man in his arms at all, not the slightest.
Since he did not want to hurt him, he could only choose the other way out.
Carriage No.5 was finally opened by Black cat. He seized all the dangerous items and weapons on Crow’s body, and a rope made of cloth was used to tie his hands. Then he took the key dug out of the poor Wolf’s body and opened the door to carriage No.5.
In front of them was carriage No.4, a safe, even-numbered train car.
Carriage No.4 was also very simple. When they entered the door, they saw a pool of blood and scattered flesh on the floor of the pathway. It was a snake’s corpse. It was a rare, real two-headed snake. But it seemed that it had been nibbled by something. Only half of its body was intact while the other half had only half of the tip of its tail left.
The key to carriage No. 4 was quite obvious and placed right next to the snake.
“Did he die in this manner in the end?” Crow gazed at the corpse of the snake with great interest, and a strange smile was plastered on his face. It looked as if he was about to cry even though he was smiling.
“You almost fooled me.” Black cat pulled the rope that tied Crow’s hands, then lowered his head to look at the hint provided on the connecting door of carriage No.4. Towards Crow, he said, “I really thought you were a compa.s.sionate, righteous, and good kid.”
“Maybe I am.” Crow was still staring at the corpse of the snake, but the smile on his face had disappeared.
On the connecting door of Carriage No.4, the hint provided was:
[Do you think you caught the murderer?]
[Yes, you believe so]
[But I still think that you are not in a good situation]
[Who can escape from the G.o.d of death’s curse?]
Black cat looked at the hint expressionlessly for a long time. He turned to Crow and asked, “You said you saw the black cat’s corpse previously. How did it die in carriage No.12?”
“Soaked in the water, and it died because it got scratched to death by some horrifying monster.” Crow winked cunningly and smiled: “I think you will surely meet the same end as it.”
“Not definitely…” Black cat also laughed: “What if I killed you here?”
“You won’t kill me,” Crow said as if he was sure, as if he believed it.
“Why don’t you think so?” Black cat was also confused about his certainty.
“How should I know?” Crow was helpless, “Just like how I didn’t think I would actually start killing people, it’s all the same… How ridiculous.”
