Tokizaki and October followed Kannayu's army to the imperial capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's about 10 p.m., and the streets are still full of traffic, towering buildings are decorated with neon lights, and crowds of people are constantly weaving in and out of the shops.

This bustling scenery amazed October, the first time to return to the world.

Even though she was born in an aristocratic family in the Divine Domain, she had seen many documentary videos about the human world, but walking on the streets of the bustling imperial capital, she still couldn't help but sigh, especially interested in the delicious and fun things in various stores.

"Oh ho, the imperial capital is really a good place. Look, what's that?"

"This and this ......"

"And that ......"

Every time she passed a store, she would lie on the window like a spider and observe for a long time, her eyes shining with a strange brilliance from beginning to end.

It is really surprising that the eldest lady of the Qingtianmu family will behave so excitedly when she arrives here.

No matter how Shi Qi thinks about it, she feels that it is a little inconsistent with her background, and it seems to be too commoner. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a country man who goes to the city.

"Ahem, that, Qingtianmu, we all have something to do when we come to the emperor, so don't wander around the streets. ”

Standing next to October who was salivating in front of the cake shop window, Tokizaki coughed softly and reminded kindly.

Only then did October remember that he was not here to travel, turned around and patted the back of his head, and smiled awkwardly: "Ah, I forgot that we were here to find someone, ahahahaha...... Chikage: They haven't arrived yet, and we haven't seen her contact us. Well, where is Dr. Mad's research place?"

"Deputy Head of Thousand Shadows said that it was at No. 48 Katori Street, and we asked someone to take a look. ”

"Oh, good. ”

The two asked for directions on the side of the road, and when they learned that Katori Street was not far from where they were, they decided to walk over on their own.

But because the location was a bit out of the way, even with the guidance of well-meaning passers-by, they still went around and around for more than half an hour to find the street.

Katori Street was a relatively small street in the imperial capital, and it was naturally much more deserted than the main street they had just seen in October, but it was still more noisy and noisy than the night in the Divine Domain.

Moreover, such a remote place seems to be more prone to filth and indulgence.

The drunken man drank wine and yelled while vomiting on the side of the road;

Two disheveled men and women excitedly hugged and kissed and got into the same car;

A group of young thugs led a man in a neat suit into a dimly lit alley;

A few men in hats and sunglasses stood on a street corner with no street lights, debating something sneakily, and when they heard the whistle siren, they immediately dispersed......

Along the way, Tokizaki and October have seen almost all similar scenes, as if people are either indulging in fun or committing adultery.

"Why do I feel different from the other place just now? It's bustling and orderly, and it always feels a little ...... here."

I don't know what adjectives to use to describe this in October.

Tokizaki received: "It's a little dark, isn't it?"

"Well, almost. ”

"This world is like this, the sun always casts a shadow on an object, and light always coexists with darkness. What we see now is actually only a relatively superficial depravity, and the real evil may be hidden behind the orderly prosperity. ”

When Shi Qi said this, he seemed to have a serious and upright expression, but there was a bit of pain and sadness between his eyebrows, and even a nervous person like October could see that he should have experienced something unbearable in the past.

"Oh......"

October isn't very good at comforting, and besides, he doesn't know Shizaki very well, so he can't ask too much, so he has to delay a long tone of affirmation, and then pretend to laugh easily: "Aren't we just working hard to change the world, and one day it will get better, hahahaha." ”

"It may be true for you who grew up in the Divine Realm, but not necessarily for me. How can human greed and selfishness be so easily changed?

Even the people of the Divine Realm, who claim to be the people of God, cannot completely get rid of this nature. Actually, I think many of you are too idealistic. ”

"Uh, didn't you grow up in the Divine Domain?"

"No, I only awakened my divine powers to go to the Divine Domain six years ago, and my home was originally somewhere in this world that you call the Fallen. ”

"If you think we're too idealistic, why do you want to join us?"

Shi Qi turned his head to look around at the men, women, and children who came and went, and sighed in a low voice: "Because, you are indeed much better than these people, at least you don't just live for personal selfish desires. ”

The topic seemed to become heavier and heavier the more they talked, and both of them became a little uncomfortable.

When Shi Qi realized this, he hurriedly used the reason of looking for a research institute: "Where have we been? Why haven't we seen the doctor's research institute yet?"

October walked to the door of the restaurant next to him and looked at the door number, "This is No. 158, and it's still ahead." ”

Oh, let's go a little faster. ”

Shizaki quickened his pace and walked forward, and October hesitated for a moment and trotted to follow. After that, the two just walked with their heads buried in their heads, and there was no talk during this time.

When I walked to the door of a hotel, I saw the police car that had just driven over parked at the door, and I didn't know what kind of police it was performing.

Just a few steps away, I suddenly heard an exclamation from the alley next to the hostel: "So little?"

Then I heard another voice say, "What's the matter?"

"No, no, no. The man just now explained in a panic, "It's just that last time Officer Domoto gave twice as much as this time. ”

"Hmph, that guy in Domoto has bad rules. It stands to reason that it is the duty of you ordinary people to help us arrest people, and there should be no reward. ”

"But, it's not a normal procedure. ”

"Long-winded, it's your pleasure to ask you to help, do you still pick and choose, do you want to go to prison to work as a coolie for a few days? ”

"I don't want to, I don't want to, it's an honor and honor to be able to help Officer Ichihara do things, and I don't dare to ask for anything. ”

"It's good to know, I'm leaving, I'll remember you next time I have any good errands. ”

"Yes, thank you officer for taking care of me. ”

This is the end of the conversation in the alley, and Tokizaki and October are inevitably bumped into by the Ichihara police officer and eavesdropping on them—albeit unintentionally, and immediately strode out of the alley.

"Hmm, Qingtianmu, do you feel it?"

After walking for a while, Shi Qi suddenly looked back at the door of the hotel.

"Huh?" said October, pausing in her tracks, "what do you feel?"

"Divine power, faint divine power. ”

"Where? I don't feel it. ”

"You feel it again. ”

October saw that he said something serious, so he closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling it.

"Yes, yes, in there. ”

She opened her eyes, stretched out her finger in what she thought was the right direction, and then looked at Tokizaki.

Shi Qi looked at her and nodded, "That's right, it's in that hostel." ”
