Chapter 54: Xia Zili, Heimu Tong, Ke Mingqing

The sky gradually dimmed, and a hazy twilight rolled across the horizon. Platform 7 was entirely empty save for a teenage boy and girl. They stood in silence, one in front of the other. At the fingertips of one of them danced a fierce, violent lightning.

The wind blew past, carrying a faint yet tranquil voice.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Ke Mingqing kept his head down, his drooping bangs hiding his eyes.

"Yes," he replied after a moment, barely opening his mouth.

"And your reason?" Heimu Tong asked softly.

Ke Mingqing remained silent.

"Give me a reason, at least," she pressed.

After a brief silence, Ke Mingqing let out a long breath and spoke at an unhurried pace.

"Based on your description, there is an uncontrollable individual among the players in Li Jing. There's a high probability he'll be caught by the Magical Girl Company next, which will implicate you. Then you'll be captured, and they will force you to confess and give me up.
