——Could it be Miss Gui Yan calling?
Qingyou paused, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
He glanced at the phone screen and was about to answer the call, but the incoming caller displayed on it was completely beyond his expectations.
A call from Chi
The expression on his face changed instantly. He quickly opened the phone and put it to his ear, saying anxiously, "Chi, where did you go today? We all..."
"I'm sorry, the person who called you is not Young Master Ye Si." A neutral electronic voice suddenly interrupted his question.
"Of course, your good brother, Young Master Ye Si, is indeed here with us."
Hearing this, Qingyou's face froze.
——Is it really a kidnapping?
"Who are you? What is your purpose?" Suppressing the waves in his heart, he asked calmly, keeping a calm tone.
"You don't need to care who we are. As for our purpose, it depends on whether you dare to come and save your good friend." The neutral voice could not be distinguished between male and female, but Qingyou could hear a hint of teasing in it.
"How do I know if Chi is with you?" he asked with a frown.
"That's easy." The person on the other end of the phone understood what he meant.
"Master Ye Si, your good friend called you. Talk to him."
After the words fell, no sound came from the phone.
After a while, even Qingyou, who was holding the phone, could feel the stiff and awkward atmosphere over there.
"Tsk, this is really hard to deal with." The neutral electronic voice smacked its tongue, "Since Young Master Ye Si is so stubborn, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The neutral voice began to turn violent, and it was not difficult to tell from the tone what it was going to do next.
Qingyou took a deep breath and said, "Wait a minute, where is the location? I'll go."
By now, he has basically confirmed that Chi is indeed in their place.
Besides, no matter whether it was true or not, he couldn't gamble with his brother's safety. If he was lying, it would be fine, but what if it was true?
He can't afford to gamble, nor dare to gamble
Hearing that he finally agreed, a very satisfied laugh came from the other end of the phone. "From the hospital to an abandoned building 3 kilometers northwest, you have 9 minutes to run over. Um... If you exceed the time limit, I can't guarantee that my good brother will not lose anything."
"Oh, by the way," it added, "don't even think about calling anyone during this time. Your cell phone signal is already being monitored in real time."
"So, for the sake of your brother's safety, please don't do anything small like sending text messages or messages."
Qingyou tightly gripped the phone, closed his eyes, and steadied his disordered breathing. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes again and his face regained calm.
"understood."
Chapter 56: Big Crisis! Killer!!
"Tsk tsk, I never could have guessed, Master Ye Si, that your brother actually cares about you so much."
After hanging up the phone, the masked man looked at Ye Jichi who was tied up with thick ropes and sat on a chair. He praised, "What a deep brotherly love. I am a little envious."
Although he said that, the neutral voice was full of sarcasm.
Ye Shichi stared at him with his eyes fixed, and if his mouth had not been sealed, he would have started cursing.
"Don't look at me like that, Master Ye Si. It's your good brother who volunteered to save you. It has nothing to do with me." The masked man patted his cheek with great force and said sarcastically, "It's a blizzard outside. I don't know if he can get here in 9 minutes. It would be fun if he accidentally freezes to death on the road."
Hearing him say this, Ye Sichi's emotions suddenly became agitated, and his mouth, which was sealed with tape, kept making "wuwuwu" sounds. If looks could kill, the masked man would have been tortured to death thousands of times already.
“Keep yelling, Master Yeshi.” The masked man put his hands behind his back and said in a playful tone, not caring at all. “Soon, you’ll be able to watch this grand feast of friendship games in person!”
After saying that, he turned and left with a big laugh. Ye Sichi, who was sitting on the chair, was still struggling desperately, staring at the masked man's back with an expression as if he wanted to skin him alive.

"Master."
Arriving at the monitoring room on the fourth floor, the middle-aged man in a gray suit bowed respectfully.
"Are they all ready, Uncle Tobiha?" Sakishima Yamada took off the mask, revealing the feminine face, glanced at it, and asked lightly.
"The killing machine has been waiting there for a long time, Master."
"Ah."
Sakishima Yamada squinted his eyes, sat on the swivel chair, and looked at the surveillance camera on the computer.
"To be honest, after the breakup, Tada Kiyohisa would still rush over to rescue Nojichi without hesitation. This is something I didn't expect." His tone was filled with an indescribable jealousy and gloom. "Their relationship is really good!"
It was obvious that if Tada Kiyohisa had hesitated for just a second on the phone just now, he would have guaranteed that a small knot would be planted in Noji Aka's heart forever.
As time goes by, this little bump will slowly turn into an indelible gap, and by then, the two brothers will be not far from a real breakup.
But I didn’t expect that Tada Kiyoyu would agree so readily and decisively!!!
——Tsk, how frustrating!
With his hands on his forehead, a ferocious and resentful look flashed across his face for a moment, and Sakishima Yamada instructed the middle-aged man, "Uncle Tobiba, follow the plan strictly. I don't want anything to go wrong, understand?"
"understand!"
Sakijima Tobiha responded respectfully, then put on a mask and voice changer and disappeared into the distance.
"Tsk." Staring at the surveillance camera on the screen, Sakishima Yamada's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a vicious look.
Tada Kiyoyu, how long can you persist in this game?
I'm really looking forward to it
----
The wind howled violently, goose-feather-sized snowflakes flew everywhere, dusk faded, twilight and dark clouds covered the sky, and night gradually fell.
At the door of the abandoned building, a pale young man slowly appeared. He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving up and down, and his whole body was covered with a layer of white snow.
His hands were slightly purple from the cold, and he continued to walk forward with staggering steps.
[Host, adjust your breathing quickly, your current condition is too bad. ]
The system's worried voice sounded in my mind, "It's better to sit down and rest for a while. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it."
For ordinary people, running three kilometers in 9 minutes is something that is difficult to achieve. Coupled with the severe snowstorm environment, the difficulty of running three kilometers in 9 minutes is undoubtedly increased a lot.
⑨822(0)88 Fortunately, the boy’s physical strength was higher than that of an ordinary person. If an ordinary person ran for a kilometer in such weather, he would probably faint halfway.
"I'm fine." Qingyou continued to walk forward, breathing heavily. The wind and snow were raging behind him, the dusk was dim, and his pale face was like a demon returning from hell.
Under the dim light, at the end of the corridor ahead, a masked man in a black suit gradually appeared in sight.
Next to him was Ye Sichi, who was tied up tightly with thick ropes.
"8 minutes 58 seconds."
The masked man closed the pocket watch in his hand and bowed politely to him, "You are on time."
[Sakijima Tobiha, male, 48 years old, physical strength 58]
With just one glance, the other party's true face was seen through by the system in the mind.
The clear eyes twinkle
——Is it really him?
"Sakishima Yamada should be here too. Let him come out." His expression did not show anything unusual, and he spoke to the masked man in a tone as if he had seen through everything.
"The game is about to begin." Sakishima Tobiha turned a deaf ear to the boy's question, as if he hadn't heard it. The neutral electronic voice was neither rising nor falling, "Excuse me, are you ready?"
There was nothing unusual in his attitude and tone from beginning to end, as calm and steady as an ancient well. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have begun to doubt whether his previous judgment was wrong.
——You old man, you are so shameless
The expression on Qingyou's face gradually turned cold, "I'm here now, can you let Chi go?"
"That won't do. Young Master Ye Si is our honored guest today. If we let him go, who will be able to watch this wonderful feast?" The neutral voice remained calm, like a robot.
"As today's contestant, you have no right to decide whether the audience stays or leaves."
"Competition..."
Qingyou repeated the word word by word, looking puzzled, but in fact he was secretly regulating his breathing and calming his mind to recover his strength.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Before the masked man could reply, Ye Sichi, who was tied up nearby, cried out excitedly.
His body kept shaking, and his eyes were staring at the boy, as if he wanted to tell him something.
Qingyou frowned, "Chi..."
Before he could finish his words, Sakijima Tobiha, who was standing next to Nojiaki, suddenly stepped forward and punched him in the nose.
[Host, be careful! ! ]
The opponent's attack was too sudden, and Qingyou had no time to take any other precautions. He stretched out his elbow in front of him as quickly as possible to block the heavy punch.
Qingyou took a few steps back with "thumps, thumps", held his wrist, bent and closed his five fingers, and a burning pain came from his hand.
The power of 58 physical strength points is indeed extraordinary.
"What? You want to start now?" She looked at him coldly with a calm face, showing no panic or fear.
Sakijima Tobiha bowed and said, "I'm sorry, but I won't let you waste time recovering your strength."
After saying that, he moved like thunder, and rushed forward with big strides. He raised his foot and kicked sideways, not giving the boy a chance to breathe.
[Host, this is a feint! His arm moved slightly for a moment, but he really wants to attack your upper body!]
The system prompt sounded in my mind.
Qingyou's eyes narrowed, and he immediately took a few steps back, twisting his torso to the left to avoid the feint. Sure enough, at the moment when Sakijima Tobiha's kick missed, his front elbow immediately bent and attacked the side of his face.
The speed is extremely fast, and everything changes in an instant, making it impossible for people to react.
Qingyou opened one hand to hold Sakijima Tobiha's arm and twisted it downward to relieve the force, and with the other hand, clenched his fist to attack the opponent's Adam's apple, intending to deliver a fatal blow.
This counterattack made a strange look flash in Sakijima Tobiha's eyes. He quickly lowered his head to avoid it, and used his other hand to push away the arm that was restraining his front elbow.
He raised his foot and delivered a series of ferocious kicks directly at the boy's midsection. Qingyou stepped back steadily with a calm look in his eyes, looking for a weakness to counterattack.
On the other hand, the faster and more fierce Sakijima Tobiha's attack was, the more frightened the boy's actions and reactions became.
Whether it was a feint with the real in it, or an attack first and then a feint, the boy could counter it and deal with it with ease. He couldn't hurt the opponent at all.
Such keen reconnaissance ability even caused Sakijima Tobiha's usually calm heart to become turbulent.
His strength was not inferior to his, and his reaction was even more absurd. Although he was now in the upper hand, this was only because the young man had consumed too much energy in the snowstorm, which led to such a disadvantage.
If I let the opponent fight him at full strength, I will definitely be the loser!
Clearly, he is just an underage high school student, but he is already able to put him in a tough fight. This Tada Kiyoyu is really as the young master said, terrifying and should not be underestimated!
——I underestimated you.
The expression under the mask turned ruthless. He opened his five fingers and grabbed the boy's head, starting to use fatal moves.
[Host, punch him! ]
Qingyou punched the man's inner wrist, then opened his hand to grab it, pulled it forward, and kneed it hard into Sakijima Tobiha's chest.
"Cough cough."
His sternum vibrated and Sakijima Tobiha couldn't help coughing. A bone-piercing pain rose up, causing his body to tremble slightly for a moment. Qingyou seized the opportunity, raised his right front elbow, and wanted to attack his back and take advantage of the victory.
Sakijima Tobiha gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, suddenly grabbed the boy's legs, stood up and fell backwards.
His body suddenly flew into the air, but Qingyou didn't seem panicked. He kept his brain calm at all times. He supported the man's shoulders with both hands and pushed hard. He leaned his upper body backward, opened the biggest gap in a moment, bent his knees as a support point, and instantly broke free from Sakijima Tobiha's restraints.
"Bam—"
He fell on his back, kicking up a cloud of dust.
He stood up again steadily with a somersault, and looking at Sakijima Tobiha who was holding his chest and gasping for breath, Qingyou said coldly, "Do you want to continue fighting?"
