"Ah, speaking of which, Shiraishi told me about Nojima today," Hanari reached out and grabbed Shisui's sleeve, "He said that Nojima's brother committed suicide not long ago, and that his brother is a tennis genius. β
Zhishui glanced at Huali's hand clutching his sleeve, and sighed secretly in his heart, Huali didn't reject contact with him at all, but he didn't think much about it at all.
I really don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
"Now, stop the water," Hanari puffed out his face and tugged at his sleeve, drawing his attention back, "Are you listening to me?"
"Listen," Zhishui nodded, "and then?"
"Do you remember the black qi that appeared behind him last time?" Hanari's tone became stern, "I went back and checked it carefully, but it was actually a resentful spirit that had not yet taken shapeβresentment. β
"When you have a strong sense of resentment, hatred, or such negativity toward the world, you will have resentment, but because the resentment has not been formed, it cannot be sealed. β
"There are two solutions, one is to let him deteriorate like this, if he is left alone, it will become a resentful spirit and can be sealed directly, and the other is to let this person untie the knot, and the resentment will naturally dissipate. β
After speaking, Huali smiled proudly: "It's really me~"
"So, what method are you going to use to solve it?" asked Zhishui to her.
"If you can, of course, use the second method as much as possible," Hanari frowned and said, "The first method is too risky, the power of the hatched resentment depends on how strong Nojima's negative feelings are, if the resentful spirit is too strong, won't it backfire?"
But the second way...... Because of Yumi's incident last time, Hanari didn't dare to approach him casually, let alone untie the knot, what if she accidentally put herself in again.
Either method is a bit tricky.
"Why don't you talk to Furukawa?" she said.
Huali suddenly rolled her eyes: "I don't know why, I don't want to see him at all." β
The last time those words completely dug out the darkness in her heart, and Huali didn't want to recall the things she wanted to forget.
"Then, I'll go talk to him," Zhishui curled the corners of his mouth, "It just so happens that he knows Nojima well, and he should know how to solve it better." β
"......" Huali hesitated for a while, but still agreed, "Okay, please, stop the water." β
Zhishui nodded, and then the figure disappeared from the place, Huali let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and just wanted to go back, but bumped into a person head-on, and a large bright red suddenly met her eyes.
"......" Hanari raised her head silently, and in front of her was the smiling and charming red leaves, "Why are you here?"
"Of course, I came here to tell you something," Momiji narrowed her long phoenix eyes, bent down slightly to approach her, and said in a low voice, "Hanali, we got news from that guy." β
Huali's pupils shrank suddenly, her hands clenched tightly unconsciously, she lowered her head and gritted her teeth, and only pressed her forehead in discouragement, her eyes were a little gloomy: "Now I ...... You can't do anything, and even if you get news of that guy, it's useless. β
Without magical powers, she is no different from ordinary people.
"Don't be discouraged, Xiaohuali," Momiji whispered a laugh as she covered her mouth with a folding fan, "Anyway, let's tell you the news of that guy first." β
"Yesterday, it appeared at Tokyo Tower," Momiji said in a soft and gentle voice, "I heard that it was looking for someone." β
"One...... A human with blood-red eyes. β
Hua Li was startled, and looked up with wide eyes in surprise: "What did you say?!blood-red eyes?"
"You should have a bottom in your heart," Momiji's eyes sank, "I came to tell you about this while the water was not there, whether to let him know or not, Hanashi decided for himself." β
"But, but, why?" Hanashi grabbed Momiji's hand in a panic, "Why is he being targeted, he doesn't belong to this world at all!"
"I don't know the specific reason, but the current situation is that even if Hanali doesn't look for it, it will appear in front of you on its own," Momiji put away the smile on his face, and his expression became stern, "Hanali, you don't have any power to fight back now, it's better for him not to use those eyes until that guy finds out about stopping the water." β
"......" Huali opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, she lowered her head and bit her lower lip stubbornly, and nodded halfway, "I know." β
Momiji stretched out his hand to cover the side of Hanari's face and stroked it gently: "I know you hate it, but now is not the time." β
Huali's hand was clenched tightly, her nails had sunk deep into her palm, but her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
ββ¦β¦ I know," the anger and hatred in Huali's eyes almost overflowed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I know, I will...... Restrain yourself. β
"Then, I'll go first," Momiji reluctantly withdrew her hand, "Before you recover your magic power, you must restrain yourself, Xiaohuali." β
Huali's violently undulating chest gradually stabilized, and she nodded firmly: "Don't worry. β
"......" Momiji's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Huali, I will help you continue to inquire about its news next, and I will tell you if there is any new movement." β
"Well," Hanari reluctantly squeezed out a bitter smile, "Thank you." β
Seeing this, Momiji sighed lowly, then opened the folding fan and shook it. Soon a gust of wind blew, and the red leaves disappeared from the front of Hanali, who lowered her head and stared blankly at the ground, alternating between the sound of the wind in her ears and the rustle of the leaves, and then a pop, and a drop of water fell to the ground.
She subconsciously wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, but found that her eye sockets were dry, and she raised her head to look at the gloomy sky, more and more rain fell on the ground, and soon, the whole ground became wet.
Hua Li looked at the sky in a daze, and muttered, "I didn't bring an umbrella......"
That day, it was also raining, and her father was in a hurry to prepare to go out, without even taking an umbrella.
"Daddy," said the young Hanalei, who came out with an umbrella and looked up, "you forgot to bring an umbrella." β
"Don't take it, it's inconvenient," the man touched Huali's head, squatted down and looked at her level, "Huali, Dad may not be able to come back this time, in case he can't come back, Huali remembers to listen to grandpa's words obediently, okay?"
"Where is Daddy going?" Huali blinked and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you come back?"
"How can Dad not like you," the man laughed softly, "It's just that there is a place where Dad needs more than that, and Dad is not the only one who wants to protect Huali." β
"Goodbye, Hanari. β
The rain fell on Huali, her eyes became red, she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears constantly flowing down her cheeks, and her whispered sobs could be faintly heard in the noisy rain, and then gradually turned into a howling cry.
When the soaked Huali took out the key to open the door, the water had not come back, and the sticky feeling of the wet clothes on her body was uncomfortable, Huali pulled the clothes that were still dripping with water on her body, and walked to the bathroom with a low sigh.
There was a long water stain on the floor, and when Hanari turned on the switch to take a shower, she heard a click on the door, and guessed that it was supposed to be the water stop.
"It's looking for ...... A human with blood-red eyes. γ
At this moment, the words of Momiji and her words sounded sharply in Hanali's head, she frowned tightly, turned off the shower switch, and hastily dried her body, put on a nightgown and opened the door and walked out.
Zhishui didn't bring an umbrella, so at the moment he was sitting on the sofa and wiping his hair with a dry towel, and after seeing Huali coming out of the bathroom, he pointed to the kitchen and said, "I boiled hot water, don't catch a cold." β
Hanari nodded silently and walked towards the kitchen, but as soon as she took a step, she was grabbed by the wrist by the water stop.
"Did something happen?" asked Shisui as he looked her straight in the eye and said in a firm tone.
"......" Huali lowered her eyes, then slowly walked to Zhishui and sat down, and said in a low voice, "That, Zhishui has tried not to use the writing wheel eye recently, and if you want to use it, you must be careful not to be seen by anyone." β
Although Zhishui was puzzled, he still nodded: "I know." β
After hearing the promise to stop the water, Hanari pursed her lips and fell silent, and the room suddenly became very quiet, and only the sound of rain hitting the glass outside the window could be heard.
"Zhishui, how long have you been here?" Hua Li suddenly opened her mouth to break the silence.
"Two months," Zhishui thought of giving the answer without thinking.
He's been here for two months, but after all this time, her magic shows no sign of recovering at all.
At the beginning, Grandpa said that she didn't need to wait that long for a year, but how long did she have to wait?
The enemy who wanted to be bladed appeared, and she couldn't wait any longer.
"Speaking of which, didn't you go and talk to Furukawa about Nojima?" Hanari chuckled dryly and diverted the subject, "What was the result?"
"Ah, I was about to tell you about this," Shisui said with a frown, "it doesn't seem that simple, you told me that his brother committed suicide, but Nojima seems to insist that his brother was murdered, and that the murderer was his brother's classmate." β
ββ¦β¦ What, murder?"
If it's a murder, it's a bit bad.,If it's a suicide.,At most, it's just a strong remembrance of my brother.,It's easy to enlighten him and let his resentment dissipate.γ
However, if he is convinced that his brother was murdered, then Nojima's resentment will not dissipate until the truth of the matter is revealed.
Things are getting tricky again.
