May 30th, evening.

The overcast sky was covered with dark clouds. The moisture deftly burrows into everyone's noses, telling people that the rain is coming.

It's not a good weather for the festival, but the annual enthusiasm of the residents of Shinshin is never dampened by the rain. Prepared stall owners set up canopies in front of their stalls, and the canopies of different sizes are connected to each other, turning the streets and alleys into a world under the colorful "sky".

The street square where the exhibition matches were held during the day has been cleaned. A dance troupe specially invited from Tokiwa City danced on a high stage, and the onlookers couldn't help but shake their bodies to the beat of the music, and at some point it turned into a circular procession of dancing around the stage.

- Even the Pokémon of Xiao Ya have joined the ranks of dancing, and they are quite addictive, and Xiao Ya has no choice but to let them immerse themselves in square dancing.

And above the street square, a huge light blue light shrouded the entire square. The sparse raindrops fell on the outside of the mask with a pleasant sound.

There is no canopy that can cover the entire street square, so simply use superpowers to create a "canopy" - this is a very real new town method. The many Pokémon in the backyard of Dr. Ohki's research institute have never been stingy to contribute, and groups of super-powered Pokémon are on duty, even if it is not a problem to maintain this large cover for twenty-four hours.

The color of the night sky as seen through the reticle became less dark, and the dark clouds became like soft marshmallows, seeping syrup outward. The light blue of the superpower and the countless warm lights complement each other, but together they form an incredibly beautiful color.

"The crimson sky is calling you~" Xiao Ling sang softly with the music that resounded throughout the square, licking the apple candy in her hand, revealing her happy crescent eyes.

"I'm now thinking about whether or not to officially move to Zhenxinzhen. Taking a cute bunny puppet that doesn't match his own style at all, that's the prize he won from a shooting game, Xiaojie said excitedly, "The May Festival is really fun." ”

"And it's delicious, too!" Xiao Ling immediately added.

Since the morning, the fun-loving brother and sister have dragged Xiaoye and Xiaotian to the street square. Everyone was dazzled by the variety of shops, and they couldn't put all the food they wanted into their stomachs despite all their efforts, and the variety of entertainment items made time fly by, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost night.

Xiao Ya and Xiao Tian don't like to run around and play around so much, but they don't reject such a rare festival either. Xiao Tian was also forcibly stuffed with a fluffy kitten doll in his hand - also a prize to win in the shooting game.

He didn't seem to care much about what he was holding, and he calmly held the cute doll, leaving Xiaojie and Xiaoling to laugh hard.

"Speaking of which, the same song has always been playing in the street square?" Xiao Ye said when she heard Xiao Ling's singing along.

The melody of the song is bright and warm, and it really fits the atmosphere of the May Festival. However, after listening to this song for a whole day, Xiao Ye now only feels a little brainwashed.

Xiaotian nodded, "This is the theme song of "Crimson Sky", and the background music of the May Festival in recent years is this song. ”

Xiao Ye was immediately stunned. "Scarlet Sky" is the famous work of Xiaotian's mother Yuka, and her heroine Fujiwara Scarlet was recognized by tens of millions of viewers, and since then she has embarked on the road of a famous actor. Probably because there is such a great star in their hometown, the residents of Shinshin Town play the theme song of Crimson Sky every year at the May Festival to show their pride.

Speaking of crimson skies...... What about the leading lady who was next to her just now?

Xiao Ye looked back, and sure enough, she saw that Yuka was asked to take a photo again. She didn't have a star frame at all, not only nodded happily to answer all the requests, but also pulled Xinghai into the group photo. Fortunately, Xinghai wisely brought the little sea lion mask he bought from a roadside stall, otherwise the scandal that "first-level investigator Shenyu Xinghai and well-known actor Lihua Yuka have a close relationship and are suspected of dating" will spread all over the world tomorrow.

And provoked Yuka's angry roar: "We got married early tomorrow!!"

"Anyway, I wanted to ask just now. Xiao Jie, who was walking in front, turned around with a three-color dumpling in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "Don't you think there are a lot of security guards nearby?"

Almost every second store, you will see vigilant security guards standing on the side of the street. Although they seem inconspicuous in the flow of people, once you care about it, you will find that there are so many people in uniform that it looks like a cash truck is about to pass by on this street.

"That's because it was attacked five years ago. ”

Before Xiao Tian could open his mouth, another gentle voice answered. A group of teenagers and girls looked up at the young man with the mask of a little sea lion, and they all showed sympathetic looks.

"Mr. Xinghai, have you finally been released?"

"yes, I'm thankful. Xinghai sighed helplessly, turned around to look at Yuka, who mingled with the female fans, and pushed the mask up, half-revealing his face.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Xiao Ling's ponytails were curled up out of curiosity, "Mr. Xinghai, you just said that this place was attacked?"

"That's right. Xinghai nodded, and explained the reason why the May Festival attached great importance to the power of the guards.

Five years ago, at the May Festival, a group of suspected poachers infiltrated Shinshin Town with the intention of taking action on the Pokémon in the middle of the street. They were dressed in black robes and acted strangely, and some of them started to fight not only the Pokémon, but also the innocent townspeople, causing quite a bit of panic.

At that time, Xinghai was not in Zhenxin Town, and with the abilities of other trainers, he could not easily suppress the poachers, and in the end, Yuka and Dr. Ohki, who brought the three evil dragons of Xinghai, worked together to subdue all the outlaws. Since then, security has been stepped up during the May Festival to prevent the same thing from happening again.

The May Festival is the most cherished festival by the people of the town, and after a whole year, no one wants it to be ruined.

The music at the end of the game fades into a low voice, and after a few seconds it returns to the beginning. The bright female voice has a hint of playfulness in it, and gently sings the first line of the song.

"The crimson sky is calling you—"

"Sea of stars. Hearing Yuka's voice, Xinghai turned around and saw his wife's depressed expression.

"We're suggesting that the mayor change the background music next year. Yuka said with a frown.

Although this is the theme song of the TV series she has participated in, the starring role can't stand it after listening to it all day.

"Poof. Xinghai suddenly laughed out loud and couldn't help but nod, "Ah, I agree." ”

"Huh...... It's so good. ”

The brisk prelude passed, and Xiao Ling, who was deeply poisoned and was afraid that there was no cure, still hummed along with the two sentences.

"Who reached the end first?"

"Summer Day in the Midst of Noisy Running"

"Xiaoling...... You're almost tired of hearing it. Xiao Jie showed weak dead fish eyes.

The crowd walked down the alley to the sound of music, and Night's footsteps paused unnoticed.

A chill poured from her skull to the soles of her feet.

As a waveguide messenger, Sayo's range detection ability is undoubtedly a strong point. Although she is not as unaware as Xinghai who can make people with the same ability unconscious, she is used to permanently carrying out a certain area of detection to prevent all kinds of unexpected situations.

In addition to this, she also has an unusual detection ability -

Perception of malice.

It had almost become a physical instinct. She has a keen sense of who has ill will towards her, something that the power of the waveguide would never be able to do.

And when instinctively judging that there was a foul and indistinguishable malice behind him, and the waveguide detection showed that it was just a mess of tattered clothes, Xiao Ye stiffened to a halt.

"I'm going to buy some candy apples. ”

Everyone didn't have any doubts when they heard Xiao Ye's voice. Their team had also scattered several times during the festival, and besides, Xiao Ye was a wave guide messenger, so he wouldn't lose a large army.

Xiao Tian involuntarily glanced sideways.

The noisy voices of the golden siblings caught his attention, forcing him to join the conversation, and his short purple hair quickly disappeared from the crowd.

The upbeat music belies one of the few anomalies in the festival.

It looked like a homeless man dressed in shabby clothes. The thin body was tightly covered by the black robe, and only the blackened ankle skin under the robe could be seen. However, under the vision of the power of the waveguide, his body seemed to not exist at all, and only the fluttering black robe showed a dazzling sense of presence.

Sayo can feel that this "person's" malice is not aimed at anyone, but is released indiscriminately on everything around him. The black robe reminded Xiao Ye of the attackers five years ago.

At that time, all the prisoners should have been arrested. Maybe it's a coincidence?

Xiao Ye, who was thinking like this, slowly approached the black-robed man, however, before he could take a few steps, the black-robed robe suddenly trembled violently.

The ferocity in the air made Night's footsteps pause. The initiator seemed to have sensed something, and the black robe shook quickly, and took the initiative to disappear into the crowd.

"The destination we want to reach"

"It's a rapidly changing tomorrow"

"Hide loneliness deep in your heart"

The music faded away.

In the rainstorm, chasing the black robes, the pinprick malice became more and more obvious. Instead, Xiao Ye slowed down and chased after him unhurriedly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the other party.

That's right, just keep moving away from the festival venue.

As the noisy noise faded from her side, Saya glanced back at the thousands of lights behind her.

The May Festival is the most important festival for the residents of Zhenxin Town. Not only the aborigines, but even Xiaojie and Xiaoling are so happy to participate in it. Sayo believes that this happiness should not be destroyed.

However, when the wielder of the malice has already moved away from the festival and stepped into the dark forest of the back mountain-

There's no need to worry about anything.

Crystal blue lightning bloomed beneath his feet, resonating with the rumbling thunder above. In just a few seconds, Xiao Ye surpassed the black-robed man, and the bright sword light intercepted the way forward.

"What are you?"

She asked calmly.

====================

Small Theatre:

System Prompt: Unidentified enemies appear, please be vigilant and be ready to meet them at any time.

Xiaoye: The power of the waveguide can't detect this guy's breath of life...... Why is that?

System Hint: Because the player detected the black robe worn by the enemy, the enemy may be the Robe Spirit.

Night: ...... Are you serious?
