Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 392
"Stop them!"

"Don't let those two thieves go!"

His thoughts were interrupted, Lei Luo frowned slightly, and unconsciously stopped and looked forward:
But I saw two children who were no more than one meter tall, trying to squeeze away the pedestrians around them in a panic, and rushed towards me staggeringly.

The two children were a boy and a girl, and the one running in front was a boy with short orange hair, carrying a bulging little cloth bag in his hand.

At this time, the boy was running, while looking back from time to time, his face was full of nervousness, and his eyes were even faintly anxious, as if he was afraid of being overtaken by people behind him.

The other girl had long light blue hair. She gritted her teeth and followed closely the pace of her companion, also running at full speed with a small cloth bag in her hand.

The two children were both wearing short jackets and short sleeves. In this rather cold climate, and most of the pedestrians around them were wearing robes, they looked somewhat out of place.

After a while, perhaps because the girl's physical strength was not as good as the boy's, in just a few seconds, she fell behind the boy, her pace became slower and slower, and at the same time she gasped vigorously.

Even Lei Luo, who was a few meters in front of the two of them, could clearly hear that rapid breathing.

Perhaps because he realized that the girl might not be able to run away, the boy's face became tangled, and the palm of the cloth pocket was unconsciously clenched slightly.

But then, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he shouted to the girl beside him:
"Xiao Nan! Throw away the things in your hands!"

The words that came from the ear caused the girl to fall into hesitation. After all, this is their ration for the next week, if it is directly reduced by half...

Because of this, the girl subconsciously glanced back while maintaining her running posture.

In less than a second, when she saw the menacing stall owner who was about to chase after her, she still made a decision immediately:
Letting go of his palm, the little cloth hit the ground with a bang, and several bright red apples flew out of it immediately, and rolled to... Lei Luo's feet.

The heavy burden was thrown away, and the girl named Xiao Nan instantly felt her whole body loosen.

At that moment, she didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly accelerated her pace, trying to catch up with the boy and get rid of the "chasers" behind her at the same time.

But at this moment, when Lei Luo was about to pass by...

The figure caught inadvertently out of the corner of the eye—the thick black that seems to never melt away, the countless terrifying nightmares that emerge in sleep day and night...

At this moment, it seemed that he had overlapped with the man in black robe beside him all at once.

Although, the other party didn't wear that weird black and white mask this time.

Here, it is no longer that dark and damp forest.

Although, the other party was lowering his head at the moment, as if he was looking at the apple on the ground, he seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't seem to care about them.

But...Xiao Nan just felt that his legs were filled with lead in an instant, and it was difficult to move forward any more.

The heart trembled suddenly, as if it had stopped for an instant, and it stopped beating.

The big pale yellow eyes were filled with fear at some point, Xiao Nan subconsciously took a step forward, but unexpectedly his ankles softened, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

Hearing the sound behind him, the boy looked back instinctively, and seeing his companion fall, he couldn't help shouting anxiously: "Xiao Nan!"

After shouting this voice, the boy turned his head without hesitation, and quickly ran to Xiao Nan's side, while bending down and reaching out his hands, trying to help her up, while looking back frequently, the anxious look on his face became more and more serious.

On the side, noticing the actions of the young couple, Lei Luo took a slight look at the girl named Xiao Nan, and then he didn't speak, but silently bent down and picked up an apple on the ground.

As the boy swayed from side to side and pulled back and forth, Xiao Nan seemed to have gradually regained consciousness, but when she raised her eyes to look at her companion, unexpectedly behind him...

A strange young face suddenly appeared in her eyes, it was the man in black robe just now—the man squatted halfway at this time, and was looking at herself with interest.

At this moment, the eyes of both sides were at the same level, Xiao Nan's pupils suddenly shrank, his body seemed to be frozen, and no matter how the boy shouted, he did not respond.

"Xiao Nan! What's wrong with you?"

"Run! That uncle is about to catch up!"

He yelled a few more times in a row, seeing his companion who was motionless as if he was stupid, and at the same time his eyes were firmly focused on behind him, the boy was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to turn his head away.

But at this moment, a deep voice came from behind him, clearly appearing in the boy's ears:

"You look like you know me, but I can't remember when I saw you, which confuses me."

"I don't know, can you explain it to me?"

"Xiao Nan... isn't it?"

There seemed to be a strong sense of doubt in the voice of the ear, as if the speaker really wanted to find out the answer to this question.

Perhaps it was the emotion conveyed in the tone of the person behind him, or maybe it was a keen intuition, and he noticed something inexplicable, in short...

The boy didn't turn his head completely, but stood up decisively, turned all his face to Lei Luo just now, and then posed an attacking posture while roaring like a frightened beast:
"Who are you?!"

"What have you done to Xiao Nan!"

Amusedly, he looked at the boy in front of him... who seemed to be about to launch an attack on himself—to a certain extent, he didn't even count as a physical attack.

Lei Luo didn't stand up, but just kept squatting like this, raised his hand, and placed the apple in his palm in front of the opponent, and at the same time said calmly:
"I just want to remind you that your things are missing."

"What's more..." Turning his head slightly and looking at Xiao Nan's position, Lei Luo continued, "I want to get an answer to a question that I'm more interested in from your companion."

Seeing that Lei Luo didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, and he didn't look like a ninja just from the appearance, the boy felt a little relieved, so he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But at this moment, a loud shout not far away interrupted what the boy was about to say.

"Yahiko! Konan! You two thieves!"

"This is the first time! You..."

It was a fat middle-aged man, and his expression seemed to be full of anger.
