Due to the approaching end of the year, Kira Manshiya is also closed now, and it is announced that it will be opened for trial operation after the eighth day of the first lunar month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the 'Kira Relief Store', which sells firewood, rice, oil and salt, is still open, and of course the things in the store have increased in price to varying degrees.

The business of Kira Anxin has always been good, on the one hand, because the price of goods in the store is fair and the supply of goods is regular, and on the other hand, it is due to Ji Aman's cute and cool head and face.

Especially as the end of the year approaches, the amount of daily use increases, and there are really many customers at Kira Anxin store.

But among the endless stream of customers, there are also some people who wear hoods. These people don't have a fixed time or a point, they observe and walk around the store, sometimes they buy something, sometimes they don't.

Perhaps they felt that Griffith had an inferior IQ or were deceived by his stupid appearance, but these people who came to investigate did not hide it too carefully, which in Griffith's eyes, of course, was unobstructed.

Such brazenness has been going on for a long time, and it seems that even Galen is alarmed.

A mixed-race man who is almost two meters tall has a completely different name in another world - the Hidden King. Behind this name, hidden deep in the shadows, there seems to be another face, an expression, telling something bloody and unpleasant.

It was a week before Chinese New Year's Eve, and it snowed heavily on Ueshima.

Xue Yijie hadn't arrived yet, Griffith, Kira and Galen wore cotton gloves and carried the firewood they had picked up from the town in their arms, and returned to the courtyard with small cannons.

Not far away, Ji Qing, who was wearing an apron and red oven gloves on his hand, pushed open the window with one hand, leaned out, and waved his other hand vigorously, shouting words like 'Come and eat hot bread' in his mouth, and the atmosphere was finally warm because of the excitement of the near year.

After eating the bread, Galen sat at the window and looked out at the edge of the fence and some passers-by who pretended to be careless walking by or looking back.

He clapped his palms, shook off the crumbs from his cuffs, and his expression and body stretched out in vain.

Galen stood up straight, his skeletal body set off the momentum in the reflection of the snow through the window, and in the dazzling light, the man smiled and pushed away the stool, and spoke as he walked towards the door:

"Thanks for the hospitality, the bread was delicious, huh......

I'm giving you trouble these days, but I'm happy anyway. ”

At the door, Galen took the yellowed duffel bag from the hanger, he turned around, took out an old black felt hat from the package, and seemed to bow, but after thinking about it, he finally waved his hand.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I need to remind you of.

Recently, the weather has been cold and the law and order is not good, so I advise everyone to go out less. ”

Galen said this and walked away with the package, Kira reflexively wanted to refute a few words, and the sentence on his lips, "What kind of stupid words, where is the security bad", then reacted, felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and realized that Galen seemed to be saying goodbye.

It was so sudden that Kira didn't react immediately - he was still happily eating bread a second ago.

Galen has always been a traveler, and in Kira's understanding, perhaps such a stay on the island is just a small part of the long journey, and when fate is exhausted and the novelty has passed, he will eventually leave.

Ignoring the subtle change in the mood of the head of the Ji family, the man with an almost faded army-green package on his back stepped through the snow through the main gate in the center of the fence.

He brushed past the pedestrians who were talking to each other, and then melted into a blur of his back in the unknown panicked gaze and the wind and snow falling in the sky.

The newly-dressed pedestrians and cheering crowds that flowed through the streets diluted the sad state of mind after parting, and Kira deliberately kept that parting state of mind for two days, in order to fulfill the glorified friendship in his mind and the poignant fidelity behind the friendship.

But Kira is really not a person suitable for quiet expression of lovesickness or misery, he insisted on friendship for two days with his face hanged, and on the third day, he had a snowball fight without heart and lungs.

At this time, there are still four days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and night falls, and the restlessness of the city settles down. Griffith sat by the fireplace in the living room, his back against the extinguishing embers, his gaze through the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking far into the distance.

At the end of the line of sight, the firelight flows, and the beige light line from the large towering office building looks like some illusory country.

And beneath the light, black shadows the size of sesame seeds danced in the light, and Griffith shrank back, tiredness welling up, his eyes closed, his lips narrowed into a line.

"This winter......

It's too cold. ”

……

The woman in the white fox fur jumped up from the edge of the floor, holding a gun in one hand, her body twisted in the air, and she shot in vain, the bullet hit the window edge of the adjacent building, bounced off it, and shattered the glass.

On the other side of the glass, the figure of a tall man with a yellow-green travel bag flashed like a flash, and when the fox woman seized the opportunity to pull the trigger, she had already lost the man's figure.

"Foster, you come out and follow me back to the organization. Partner, I'll intercede for you......

You can't escape this time, the gangrene is coming, although you are powerful, but the green sniper is coming...... You can't escape......"

The woman jumped from one floor to another, landed on one foot, rolled on the ground, then supported herself with her feet, and the gun in her hand was picked up again, wandering into the darkness.

"I still prefer you to call me Galen, Jinx."

The woman's voice fell, and after a while, there was a long sigh in the darkness, and the voice was slow and carefully savored, and even had the taste of laziness and longing, but the source of the sound was flickering, and it seemed to be moving.

Jinx looked around with a wary look on her white ivory gun, the muzzle of her gun moved in the void, and then she turned suddenly, the body of the gun moved out 180 degrees, and she was about to fire, but a pair of big hands grabbed the butt from behind and bullied her.

The barrel of the gun was framed, and the angle of 45 degrees pointed into the air.

The tall man wrapped his arms around the woman's waistline from behind, his bronzed head reaching out from the side of her ceramic, delicate and white neck.

"Still so grumpy, Jinx......

Didn't anyone tell you that it was dangerous to provoke the Hidden King alone?

Oh, ha...... You don't be naïve enough to think that if you were once a partner, I'll let you go. ”

The woman was surrounded by tall men, and the muscles on her body were stiff, and as the man said, he was indeed no match. In fact, as the Hidden King's former partner, she knew better than anyone how terrible the Hidden King was - a man who always seemed to have nothing to do, and once he started doing things, no one could stop him.

He talks about killing people, even if it seems to be just a casual talk, there is absolutely no element of joke.

The hot and bewitching woman's body was stiff and did not dare to move, she maintained a posture of pointing at gunpoint:

"Gangrene is coming, you can't leave, you know ......" The woman's voice was calm and penetrating, she repeated the weighty answer in her heart, and before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted.

"You never knew about me, and you never knew about me. Well, if he can't catch me, I'll be disguised,......" The man pointed at the woman's words with a serious expression, but when he said 'I will be disguised', he finally became happy, and it felt like an elementary school student who had scored 100 points in the exam was proud of his exam paper.

"Stop kidding yourself, Foster, you know what I'm talking about......"

"Heha, are you still as self-righteous as before...... Glaurel, Glaudogenol, Glauconne, Glaucondyne...... I'm really scared, my hands and feet are shaking, oops, I can't hold the gun, you must not struggle, oops, oops, oops......"

The man said this, and touched the hot peak line of his former partner a few times very contrivedly. Then, suddenly, he grabbed the gun in the woman's hand and fired a shot into the void.

Then in the darkness, there was a faint snort, and the sound of a human body falling down.

"Ha, it looks like your people are almost there, and the reaction is even faster than expected, which is really good.

Yes...... The time we get together is always short, I'm leaving, I won't play with you. ”

Galen rubbed his bearded face against the woman's porcelain-white face, and he took the gun from the woman's hand, removed the magazine, and threw it into two parts under the tall building, in the dark void.

He turned around and patted the woman's plump buttocks and gave her a push, and the woman staggered forward two steps. Galen carried the bag on one shoulder and walked in the opposite direction of the woman. The woman he pushed away turned in vain and pulled a tiny gun from her close-fitting underwear.

'Click......'

Without hesitation, the woman fired the bullet, and there was no imaginary backlash, the light of the fire and the sound of the man falling, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then directly in front of her, came the words of the man who had melted into the night and was drifting away.

"It's so sad, Jinx, can't you tell the difference between the cavity and the loaded firearm......

It seems that it was really unwise to choose you as a partner back then, and you have almost forgotten what you were taught, empty cavity, live ammunition? Oh, such an obvious difference in weight can be forcibly ignored......

Well, you've regressed. ”

The man didn't turn around, but said as he walked.

His left hand opened slightly, and a touch of orange leaked from it, suddenly the color of a bullet.

It turned out that when Galen surrounded Jinx, his left hand had already been quickly examined on Jinx's body. Jinx likes to hide gadgets in his underwear, and it seems that the habits accumulated over the years are hard to change, but it gives Galen a trance and emotion that time flies by in a hurry.

Galen found Jinx's hidden gun and secretly unloaded the bullet. Then he took the gun from the woman's hand and threw it downstairs.
