257. The future that is seen through by those eyes
ββ¦β¦ But I always feel like a drifter stranded on an uninhabited island. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" the ancient city said in a voice that didn't feel any tension.
Yukina looked back at the ancient city with a mixed sigh, "It's not that I think, but I really say it on an uninhabited island......"
"Yes, yes...... If it is still difficult to get help if this continues, the worst case scenario is to live with three people here, right? I can't afford to make this joke......"
Completely isolated from civilization, looking around this small uninhabited island, the ancient city hugged its head. Not to mention convenience stores and supermarkets, the Internet, television, electricity, and waterways, the life without life is terrifying for lazy modern people. What's more, when they were thrown into such a primitive state in the ancient city, Xia Yin was still in danger. This is arguably the worst situation that words can't even describe.
But Yukina stared at the ancient city with injured pupils for some reason.
"Worst, isn't it...... It's a joke to live with me...... Is it. β
"Huh?"
"No, nothing. β
Yukina, who said this with her back to the ancient city, walked into the forest. Her spear, wielding it as if venting, dug through the trunk of a tree in front of the ancient city's eyes.
"Ji Hiiragi...... Miss, are you angry......?"
"No, not at all. It's just a sign so that you don't get lost. β
"Yes, yes. I see. He said with a feeling that he couldn't accept it, and the ancient city caught up with Yukina and headed deep into the forest.
Chonghua just showed a wicked smile and followed the two.
It's a long road, boy. The corners of Chonghua's mouth hooked a wicked smile, thinking.
I don't know if the weeds are sparse due to the dense trees that block the sun, and the forest is easier to walk than you think. The volcanic rocks form a gentle downhill that leads to the cove.
The area around Xianjin Island was originally a sea area with a lot of rainfall. The water flows through the gaps in the outcropping rocks, and clear springs spring up everywhere on the island. At least drinking water is not inconvenient.
ββ¦β¦ Hiiragi?"
Yukina, who was walking forward without looking back, suddenly stopped after leaving the forest. With a confused look, she stared at the slope close to the shore. The ancient city that caught up with her sight also fixed its eyes,
"Well, is it a building?"
"Oh, no...... That's ......"
Looking at the ancient city with a higher tone, Yukina confused.
In the middle of the slope stands a blackened concrete wall. Although it is full of cracks and moss, it is certainly an artificial structure.
"Maybe there's a Megascraft research facility here?"
"No, it's just a bunker. β
ββ¦β¦ Bunker?"
"On the battlefield, defensive positions set up to prevent enemy forces from approaching. It's a fortress or something. β
"Has there ever been a war on such an island?"
"I don't know. Although it does not look like a very old building. β
Saying this, Yukina did not hesitate to walk into the dark bunker and follow her, and the ancient city frowned at the touch coming from the soles of his shoes. Scattered like dead leaves, there are metal cylinders that glow with a dull light. Empty cartridge casings for machine-gun bullets.
"Traces of a shootout...... bar. β
Yukina said in a sigh-like voice.
Looking back, the walls of the bunker were left with countless ** and cracks caused by bullet marks.
Judging by the surface smudges, these bullet marks are not very old. At best, it was made in a few years. However, I don't know who came to attack this island for what purpose. I've never heard of pirates around the island, and even if there were, there's no reason to do anything like war to land on this island.
"I didn't see any bodies. β
Looking around at the abandoned bunker, Yukina muttered calmly.
Indeed, compared to the countless bullet marks, it is strange that there are no wounded. Even the facial features of the ancient city after the vampire transformation could not find any traces of blood.
"That's right. Hawkers, honestly, a big favor. β
"The roof is still there, which is a blessing for us. The effort of setting up a tent is also saved. β
"Do you want to live here?"
Guru groaned with a look of disgust, is there anything wrong, Yukina blinked in surprise.
"That...... I'm afraid there's a ghost or something......"
ββ¦β¦ Why were the seniors afraid of ghosts? It's a vampire anyway. β
Yukina said in a tone that seemed to be holding back a laugh. The ancient city pursed his lips angrily and said,
"Ji Hiiragi isn't trembling with fear on the plane. β
"I didn't tremble with fear! I didn't tremble with fear!"
Yukina retorted with a blushing face, and the ancient city looked up at the patio of the bunker with an "oops, oops".
"But there's really nothing left. It's good to have a wireless device left. β
ββ¦β¦ No kidding, although I want to say that, since I can't get out on my own, the two of them can only wait here for rescue...... It's terrible, though it's such a situation. β
For some reason, she was still saying in an awkward tone, and Yukina succumbed to this situation.
"Rescue...... Rescue. β
Looking at the horizon with the sight of a machine gun, the ancient city quietly sighed.
The sigh of the ancient city could not reach the one who was far away on the island of the String God.
Chonghua remained silent and began to wander around the bunker.
There was only a hint of clarity in his eyes.
Those eyes...... It's as if seeing through what is happening in the future.
β¦β¦
"It's too slow!"
Anxiously staring at the unreachable smartphone screen, Blue Feather Shallot said unhappily.
This is the seventh floor of an apartment in the southern area of Xianjin City. In the living room of the Xiao family.
Today's light onion clothing looks light and plain compared to the usual outfits. But in fact, it is so energetic that it is a new release of casual clothes from top to bottom. Because the hair is also put down, so at a cursory glance, it looks like a lady with an extraordinary background, which is the self-evaluation of the shallot.
"How long do you want me to wait, that guy from the ancient city ......!"
What the indignant shallots held in his hand was a brand new sketchbook and a set of painting materials. took the agreement to do art homework with the ancient city seriously, and came to Xiao's house at noon on the holiday. But on the other hand, the most critical ancient city is not there. It is said that he returned late yesterday and went out again this morning. Of course, it was without giving shallots any contact.
ββ¦β¦ Sorry, shallot-chan. Guchengjun has caused you trouble. β
Xiao Nagisha, who was sitting next to the shallot, apologized dejectedly. The sister of the ancient city with a good temperament seems to feel a sense of responsibility for the actions of her brother.
Shallot changed his usual sarcastic expression and smiled calmly at Nagisha. Either way, they've been dating for more than four years.
Nagisa-chan didn't need to apologize. It's the idiot who doesn't keep the promise that's wrong. I'm pretty stupid to believe what that guy says, though. But that guy is really ......."
"Hmm...... But Gu Chengjun, where did he go? The phone couldn't be reached at all, and Yukina-chan seemed to go out early in the morning. β
"Is that transfer student again......"
Hearing Nagisa's unintentional muttering, the shallots snorted. After all, this has happened several times, and even shallots will always sense that something is wrong.
In the past six months, the number of unexcused absences in the ancient city has increased, especially after the transfer student came.
And the disappearance of the ancient city without warning must have something to do with her. Between the ancient city and her, there is definitely some secret.
Of course, if Shallot really cares, it's very simple to investigate the true identity of Hiiragi Yukina. Infiltrating the database of the PR agency, from her birth and upbringing to how much she saved, she was proud to be able to list all the information in an instant. But Shallot didn't have the slightest intention of doing so.
The challenge of winning is not the style of blue feather shallots. The so-called secret should be properly broken down and exposed in a dignified manner. This is the self-esteem and reserve of going out as a hacker, and it is precisely because she embodies it perfectly that everyone will be in awe and call her the "electronic queen".
"Ah, but those two people are together, maybe they're going to help Xia Yin-chanβ"
As she poured new coffee into her cup, Nagisa said something that suddenly came to mind.
"Natsuon-chan you said...... Is that silver-haired one the one that refers to Natsune Hase?"
The shallots asked back incredibly. She is a famous "saint" in junior high school. The appearance and name, the shallots are also known.
"After a lot of incidents, I told Gucheng-kun. Ask him to help find someone who can raise the abandoned cat that Natsune-chan picked up. It's a long story...... Hey, hey......"
Nagisa laughed uncharacteristically happily. After listening to it, it seems to be a misunderstanding of the ancient city where my sister was confessed by the boys, and I panicked into the junior high school building.
In general, I would laugh at my brother, who can't do without my sister. But the shallots are gently looking at Nagisa with a satisfied smile. Four years ago, the figure of a teenager who went to the hospital to visit his dying sister is still unforgettable.
"Taking care of abandoned cats...... In this way, the guy in the ancient city asked the people in the class if they wanted to have a cat. β
Thinking of his wonderful actions yesterday, the shallots muttered to themselves. Nagisa nodded,
"Yes, that's right. That's it...... Ah, yes. In this way, the ancient city king, maybe in the monastery. β
"The Abbey?"
"Hmm. Inside the Caihai School Park,There are the ruins of the monastery where Xia Yinchan used to live.γ It was there that I secretly took care of the cats. If that's all right, I'll take you there now, and I'm going back to school anyway to participate in club activities. β
Looking up at the clock on the wall, Nagisa said. It was just after one o'clock in the afternoon. The weather is a sunny day when "staying at home and wasting time looks stupid".
"Yes...... It's not in my character to just wait here. Ok, please. β
Shallot stood up with his favorite smartphone in his hand.
