The monitoring instrument suddenly sent out a short strong signal at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the people who were not crazy sat all night guarding the instrument, but they did not gain anything. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next morning, Chikage, Tsuna, Tokizaki, and October went to the Valley of the Full Moon to check on the situation.

When the four of them arrived, there was already a short-haired girl standing in front of the cherry blossom tree with a basket.

Chikage walked up to her, and when she saw that she was looking at the cherry blossom tree with a little sadness in her eyes, she sighed and said, "It's a pity that this tree is withered." ”

The girl looked back at her, "Well, it's a pity, I used to like it the most." ”

"I remember when I came here two years ago, it was fine, how could it suddenly be like this?" Chikage was a little concerned about this, so she asked the girl about it by the way.

"I don't know, but it suddenly withered during the cherry blossom festival last year. That night it rained heavily, and all the buds of the tree withered, and then the tree slowly died. I guess I'm sad for someone. ”

Chikage heard that her last words seemed to have something special, and immediately asked, "Who are you sad for?

"Ah, no, nothing happened. The girl's eyes flickered twice, panickedly avoiding the inquiring gaze of the Thousand Shadows, and then stammered, "Hug, sorry, I still have something to do, go first, goodbye." ”

After she had finished speaking, she hurried down the mountain.

"What's wrong with you? That girl seems to be afraid of you. October walked over and asked curiously.

Chikage bit her lip lightly, looking thoughtfully at the girl's distant back.

"She's not afraid of me, it's about something she doesn't want to reveal. I think she probably knows something important, and it's likely to be useful to us. ”

"Really, do you want to chase her back?" asked Chikage in a posture of starting to run.

"No need. She doesn't want to say it, and we can't force her. I think she should be from a nearby village, why don't we go to the village and have a look, maybe someone else will know. ”

Shi Qi echoed: "Okay, let's go now, we shouldn't find anything here." ”

After the four of them spoke, they followed the girl's path down the mountain.

When they came to the village at the foot of the mountain, several people didn't know who to ask, so they found a middle-aged woman on the road.

However, as soon as Chikage said, "Do you know what the cherry blossom tree is in front of the Full Moon Valley?" the woman shook her head in fright and said, "I don't know," and then hurried away from them, as if she had seen a ghost.

Chikage looked at the other three inexplicably, with an expression on her face as if to ask "Am I really that scary".

October looked at her innocent appearance, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, look at you beautiful monster, everyone here is afraid of you." ”

Thousand Shadows glanced at her, "You're still kidding me, so go try it." I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

"Hmph, just go. Look at the invincible charm of my young and beautiful girl, I will definitely succeed. ”

As she spoke, she was already running towards her target, a young man who was smoking on the side of the road.

Originally, when the young man first saw October running in front of him, he grinned at her with great joy. But after thirty seconds, the smile froze on his lips and slowly changed to an expression that was both exaggerated and perfunctory.

It didn't take long for October to walk back slowly and dejectedly.

Although everyone knew that it should have failed, the judgment still symbolically asked, "How is it?"

October scratched his head and replied, "At least people weren't scared away by me." However, the people here are really strange, and when I mentioned Full Moon Valley, that person immediately forcibly changed the subject. ”

The four of them suddenly fell into deep thought, what secrets were hidden in the Full Moon Valley and the cherry blossom tree, and why did the villagers keep it so secretive?

As they stood on the side of the road, Chikage suddenly noticed that the girl she had met in the Valley of the Full Moon was lying behind a tree and peeking at them.

"Hello ......"

She was about to walk towards the girl, but she turned back and ran away.

"Wait a minute. ”

Chikage hurriedly chased after him. Seeing this, Duan and the others also chased after the girl.

The girl's foot strength is good, and even if Chikage and the others are trained, they can't catch up with her in a short time.

Chikage had to run and shout behind her, "Wait." Please don't be afraid, we have no ill will. Can you sit down with us and talk?"

The girl turned back and said, "Go away, and don't inquire about that again." ”

"Why? Is there something terrible going on? We're investigating a teenager, and we're just here to find some clues, and we're not going to reveal your secrets. ”

When the girl heard this, she slowed down until she stopped completely.

"Boys?

Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to herself, Chikage sped up and ran towards her.

Unexpectedly, two men suddenly burst out of the bushes by the roadside, one of them picked up the girl and quickly ran away, and the other stopped in the middle of the road to cut off him.

The country roads are so narrow that they can only allow two people of average size to walk side by side. Although the man in front of him was not very fat, he was big enough, and just standing on the road completely blocked the way of the thousand shadows, like a strong dam.

Chikage was in a hurry to save the girl, not wanting to waste time and clash with the big man.

Therefore, when she ran close to him, she took advantage of the momentum of running, kicked hard with one foot and jumped up with one foot, and jumped directly over the top of the big man's head.

The big man was about to persuade them to retreat, but he didn't expect the oncoming girl to leap over him. He blinked twice, and his face suddenly became ugly.

At this time, I saw the second girl who followed me do the same, bent her knees and jumped up, climbed over his obstacle again to the front, and turned back and grimaced by the way.

He felt that his existence had been ignored by two girls who looked weak, and his heart was angry. A square face is like a frosted persimmon, red to the root of the ear. The mouth and nose also emitted a heavy breath like a bull in the bullring, probably feeling that they had been belittled or insulted.

Therefore, the situation of the subsequently broken and Shizaki who came over was a little uncomfortable.

The two of them are not like Chikage and October who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they are ordinary people without the help of divine power. Not to mention jumping over a nearly two-meter-tall man on his own feet, even if he borrows them a one-meter-high bench, it is estimated that they may not be able to do it.

The two of them were blocked by the big guys.

I don't know if the person in front of me is an ordinary human or a person who can use divine power, and I don't know how to deal with it for a while, so I have to look at the relatively sophisticated Shi Qi.

Without him saying anything, Shi Qi took the initiative to negotiate with the big guy.

"Who are you, and why did you take that girl?"
