Nalan parked the car, "creaked" and pulled up the handbrake, and then turned his head to the two people in the back seat:

"Two things, one of them, lotus seeds!"

"What?"

"Later, you will lead the way, and I will pay for the medical expenses, for you!"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of 10,000 yen bills from the storage compartment in the front seat and stuffed them into Usami Renko. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You can keep the extra part yourself, and you don't have to pay me back. He added.

"Is it okay if I take these?"

Lianzi looked at the portrait of Fukuzawa Yukichi with green hands, and looked a little overwhelmed.

"You just have it, and it's not a lot of money. Besides, my brother is hospitalized, how can you pay for it!"

"That'...... I'll just laugh!"

She forced a smile and quickly and gracefully stuffed the money into her purse, but her heart was full of joy - Caiodis would not have paid for her hospitalization at all, and the rest was enough for her to make several hot pots.

"Two, ahhhh

"Huh?"

Wen moved his gaze back from the window back into the car and looked at Nalan Twilight as she put down her vintage film SLR camera.

"I know you're already eager to try, so I'll ask you first, those pairs of wings," Nalan Yu pointed to the black wings behind the text and said, "Can you put it away?"

"Of course!"

As Wen spoke, her wings shrank smaller and smaller like a trick, and disappeared completely in a few moments. On her back, where the wings had been, all that remained was pure white, intact fabric—the shirt she was wearing.

Speaking of which, it's a mystery how the wings grow out of their backs and reach out of their clothes without damaging them. It can only be said that demons and monsters are not something that can be explained by common sense.

"Oh, it's ......" Nalan Yu's eyes were stunned, "It's quite fresh......"

"Anyway," he adjusted his mindset and continued, "when you get out of the car, you pay attention to your behavior, don't scare the people nearby, don't run too far." We'll have to keep on our way after picking them up, and I don't want to spend the afternoon looking for you. ”

"Oops," Wen waved his hand, nonchalant, "You can rest assured, I'm not a three-year-old child, so I can't let go." ”

"I hope you're not. ”

"Oh, yes!"

After Nalan Hao explained the matter to the two people in the back seat, he suddenly remembered that there was another taciturn passenger in the car, so he said to Youxiang beside him:

"Yuxiang, you're going to ......"

"I'll just stay here and wait for you. Before he could finish speaking, Yuka interrupted him, and there was no need for him to continue asking.

From the time she got into the car, until now, Yuxiang's face has always been facing the window, her hands are supporting her head, and she has not said a word the whole time, only saying this sentence just now. Who knows what she's thinking and how she's feeling?

"Then I'll plug in the car keys and don't turn off the ignition, so you still have the air conditioner blowing. In addition," Nalan pointed to the co-pilot's locker and said, "There are a few CDs that I personally like very much, if you are idle and bored, you can put them and listen to them." ”

"Got it, you can go quickly!" Yuka urged.

"Okay, let's go!"

Nalan said and opened the car door.

Moon disappeared three seconds after opening the car door, so the only ones who ended up in the ward were Nalan Yu and Usami Renko.

"Yo, big dog, long time no see!" As soon as Nalan Yu entered the room, he smiled and waved his hand at Caiodis who was lying on the hospital bed, and said hello.

"Big sister!"

As soon as Caiodis saw the visitor's face, he immediately sat up, but glared at him fiercely, as if he did not welcome the old friend at all.

"What kind of attitude do you have, don't you welcome me?" asked Nalan Hui as he sat on the edge of the hospital bed.

"Not welcome, get out of here!" said Caiodis with his hands on his hands, looking displeased.

"Then I'm really out of here!"

Nalan Yu said, stood up again, took a big step forward, and pretended to be leaving. At this time, Caiodis stretched out his hand to dissuade:

"Eh, wait a minute!"

"Huh, is there anything else?" asked Nalan Twilight, turning to face him.

"Damn, tell me first, where have you been all these days?" said Caiodis, "It's not the first time that I've been released by you, but it's the first time that a pigeon has been so clean and so untraceable." ”

"Would you believe me if I told you that I had gone to some mysterious corner of the Far East and embarked on a thrilling and epic adventure?"

"I don't believe it, but I'd want to punch you to death. ”

"Did you go to Gensokyo?" At this time, Usami Renzi, who came in with Nalan Yu, interjected.

Lianzi stood by the window, with her back to the window, facing Caiodis on the hospital bed and Nalan Twilight standing next to the bed, monopolizing the fresh mountain breeze blowing in from the window.

"How do you know?" asked Nalan Twilight, looking into her face.

"Isn't that why you're getting close to the two of us?" said Renko, staring into his eyes, "Use Merry's abilities to find the entrance to Gensokyo." ”

"At least, our time together isn't too bad, isn't it?" Nalan smiled and gave an ambiguous answer.

In Lianzi's opinion, this can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"Hey......" she sighed, and now she didn't want to be angry with Nalan Twilight, but said helplessly:

"Melly is missing, the day after you left. ”

"I saw that when you were walking down the street alone, you guessed it, no......" Nalan Yu put away his smile and said, "Actually, I should have known about this a long time ago, but I haven't looked into it." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'll give you a few hints, these are all clues that can be gleaned from my point of view. Nalan Twilight said, raising the index finger of her right hand, "One, Melly and I both have the ability to go in and out of Gensokyo, she is in a dream, and I am in reality. ”

"Two," he continued, holding up a second finger, "lately, one of my 'old acquaintances', or enemies, as you would call them, has suddenly broken into Gensokyo with his minions, which he could not have had in the first place. ”

"Three," he said, holding up his ring finger, "Melly is missing, and then Gensokyo has been invaded by outsiders." ”

"So, Detective Usami Renko," he said, lowering his hand, "I think you've already guessed the answer, right?"

"Ah," Renko nodded, "So that enemy of yours kidnapped Melly and then used her powers to invade Gensokyo?"

"That's right. ”

"Radu III, right?" asked Caiodis.

"I have so many enemies, how did you guess it was him?"

"I've seen him, in the mountains around here. Caiodis lifted his shirt with one hand, revealing the bandages wrapped around his muscular body, "and he sent me here." ”

"Oh, that's really hard for you, I'll invite you to drink another day. Nalan Twilight's tone was very calm, and it seemed that he was not worried about his friend's injury at all.

"So, what's next?" asked Caiodis, "I've been lying here long enough, if you're going to beat up that old boy of Radu III, take me one." ”

"Don't worry, let's ...... in a nearby town first"

"Let's go to Sado first!" Renzi interrupted Nalan Yu in a loud voice, "You two, and me, by the way, bring those two youkai again, and the five of us will go together." ”

Her tone was very resolute and seemed to be confident in her decision.

"Are you sure?" Nalan Twilight looked at her in surprise, "What do you want to do on Sado Island at this time?"

Lianzi didn't answer his doubts directly, but took out a mobile phone from the small satchel he was carrying and threw it to Nalan Twilight.

"It's your phone, give it back to you!"

"I'll just say why the phone is missing, it turned out to be with you!" Nalan Yu took the phone and said, "But it's strange, I obviously brought the phone with me that day, how could I ......"

yes, how could it be, he's a powerful vampire. Except for the old witch of Yakumo Zi, how could there be a second person who could dig into his pocket without knowing it?

"Hehe......" Thinking of this, he shook his head with a smile and muttered:

"It turns out that everything was arranged by you......"

"What are you talking about?"

"No, nothing, you go on!" Nalan said as she put her phone back in her pants pocket.

"Last night, a friend of yours was called 'Tanuki' in the address book......"

"That's Niyan Hizo, a tanuki monster who lives on Sado Island. Nalan Yu interrupted Lianzi's words and explained.

"That's right, that Miss Eryan made a call to me, or your mobile phone, in the middle of the night. ”

"What did she say?"

"She found a sleeping girl and wanted your help. In her description, the girl has curly blond hair and wears a purple dress. ”

"You think that's Melly, right?"

"Probably," said Hasuko, "on the day Melly disappeared, she was dressed in purple and wore the same hat she usually wore—we found it in the woods behind the castle shrine. ”

"Well, that's good!" Nalan nodded, "Let's go to Sado then, now, immediately, let's go!" Kayordis, don't lie down, get up!"

"Okay! Lao Tzu has long been tired and crooked. ”

Caiodis jumped out of bed and stretched. Despite the difference in height of only ten centimeters, when they stood side by side, Caiodis looked like a wrestler, while Nalan Twilight looked like a weak little girl.

"Lianzi, go pay the money, see you in the car in ten minutes!"

"Oh, okay!"
