Itoshi Rin's expression was cold, his eyes flickering with an unknown meaning. From the moment Ye Liangqiu used him as a tool to pass the ball, he clearly knew that his destructive urge had fully unfolded. He wanted to completely shatter that Hong Yan Guai Tai.
And this pass was just like Ye Liangqiu's emotionless pass back then.
"I'll put the ball in your mouth, you don't need to think about anything, just run with the ball."
At this moment, Ye Liangqiu's aura became even more terrifying. How could he not see that Itoshi Rin in front of him was already using him as a tool, just as he had used his Demon King's Eye to control everyone back then?
He hadn't expected that Itoshi Rin would also use this method.
So the sense of danger he felt came from this tsundere in front of him... He was imitating, slowly devouring him.
The moment he received the ball, countless scoring routes reflected in Ye Liangqiu's eyes. He immediately sprinted with all his might, "Imitation is ultimately just imitation, and you're imitating my weapon."
"Many things you can't understand, I've already figured out, but you don't understand. You only know how to howl madly on the field, creating that disgusting sense of destruction."
"But I clearly understand the consequences of doing so, and I also deeply understand that treating teammates as tools will lead to countless unknown consequences, because I've comprehended this little by little."
"Itoshi Rin, imitation comes at a price."
"Because not everyone can be an object you can control."
"Including me."
Why do so-called 'tool players' cooperate with stronger players to shoot? It's because they can't score on their own, so they need to pass the ball, they need to rely on others to show themselves.
This is also why Ye Liangqiu rarely cooperated with Itoshi Rin when he chose tool players before, because he himself could never be a tool player. Just like Shidou Ryusei, if you pass the ball to him, are you still thinking of him passing it back out of the penalty area?
Itoshi Rin might not understand the reasoning behind this.
But Ye Liangqiu understood that only the weak needed protection and cooperation, while the strong, the moment they gained possession, the person controlling them might suffer a severe backlash.
Now, at this moment, they were about to reach the penalty area.
Just as Ye Liangqiu's single foot was about to enter, a figure appeared in front of him. Itoshi Sae's eyes were cold, standing on one foot in front of him, as if saying, 'Come and crush me.'
"Genius, you don't think I'm afraid of you, do you?" Veins bulged on Ye Liangqiu's cheek. Every time he was about to shoot, this guy and that tsundere liked to interfere.
This made him very unhappy.
Itoshi Sae said nothing, his eyes fixed on the ball. In an instant, he moved, his arm flexibly touching Ye Liangqiu's abdomen to increase resistance, and his left foot directly began to intercept.
However, Ye Liangqiu's movements were faster. The moment he was about to steal the ball, his left foot hooked the ball back and forth.
At this moment, Itoshi Rin's figure appeared. He extended his leg, wanting to directly steal the ball in one go.
"You two really have great chemistry..."
"A combination of brothers?"
"If it weren't for the different positions shown on your jerseys, I'd have thought you were on the same team..." Ye Liangqiu gritted his teeth, killing intent completely overflowing in his pupils. This wasn't the first time Itoshi Rin, his teammate, had tried to steal his ball.
But... each time he actually stole the ball through prediction, just like Itoshi Sae.
Keep in mind Itoshi Rin was his teammate...
Has this guy gone completely insane?
To score a goal, he'd even resort to using the enemy's strength?
Itoshi Sae raised an eyebrow, also looking at his younger brother's fierce expression. Clearly, their previous attempt to steal the ball hadn't succeeded, but now they were trying again... Even he was a little surprised.
"Everyone on the field is an enemy."
"As long as I can score, any method is fine." Itoshi Rin's tone was cold. For him, only defeating Itoshi Sae was worth celebrating. But Ye Liangqiu was a stumbling block on his path to success, and he needed to completely crush this stumbling block.
Thinking of this, his destructive desire in his eyes grew even stronger.
"Interesting... interesting!"
"You guys are really interesting, how about I join you!" Suddenly, a crazed voice rang out, and Shidou Ryusei also rushed towards the three of them, his expression astonished, as if a pair of black wings appeared behind him.
At this moment, the four players who were the focus of the entire field had come face to face.
Itoshi Sae's eyes trembled, his arm was shaken open by a huge force, and his body seemed a little unstable. If his left foot hadn't quickly retreated, he would have probably fallen.
And Itoshi Rin was directly pushed away by Ye Liangqiu's long arm; that force made him unable to move an inch.
Just as Ye Liangqiu was facing these two, Shidou Ryusei tried to slide tackle and intercept the ball directly.
However, it was as if Ye Liangqiu had eyes in the back of his head, as his right foot lightly flicked the ball up.
As his left foot slowly lifted, a roaring sound echoed.
Under such circumstances, he actually shot directly with his left foot.
Ye Liangqiu's expression was distorted, his pupils completely crimson, and black and red lightning seemed to spiral around his body, "All of you make me sick."
"Of course, this feeling is also incredibly wonderful!"
"Because, finally, I can crush all you trash together on this field!"
"Go to hell, geniuses!"
This shot was a completely selfish one. Ye Liangqiu's scoring route was completely blocked. Even if he could see three seconds into the future, he couldn't find a single gap to score.
"Bastard!" Itoshi Rin couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Everyone looked at the ball rushing towards the goal at an extremely fast speed.
But at this distance, the goalkeeper could react completely.
Just as the ball was about to get close.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the goal. Nagi Seishiro leaped with calm eyes, stopping the ball at his ankle like an elf. His body spun widely in the air, and his right leg whipped out like a lash.
Dragon's Tail Whip!
With a "bang" sound.
The goalkeeper hadn't even reacted.
The ball had already shot into the dead corner.
No one had expected that this goal would be given to someone who had been incredibly quiet on the field during the scramble, nor did anyone expect how Nagi Seishiro, this white-haired kid, had appeared there.
But this goal also completely shattered the hopes of countless fans for a comeback at this moment.
Because the score had reached 1:3.
The advantage had completely shifted to Blue Lock.
But at this moment, whistles sounded, and excited shouts came from the stands.
On the field, Ye Liangqiu, Itoshi Rin, and Shidou Ryusei were seen fighting each other, their legwork extremely skilled.
"If it wasn't for you, my shot would have gone in long ago!"
"Damn it, didn't you see the explosion of my football genes? If it wasn't for you, Mr. Lower Eyelashes, I would have scored too!"
"Hong Yan Guai Tai, pink-haired clowns, all of you shut up, a bunch of disgusting things."
