21. The disappearance of the only one

Ambulance lights illuminate the surroundings in a changing light.

In the distance corner under the eaves, I pulled Yui Shou into the shadows......

……

It's late at night.

It was as if the whole world had fallen asleep.

I held the pen in my hand, but it was as if an invisible force had captured my wrist, and I could no longer fall no matter what.

On the page spread out in front of him, there were mutilated runes with only a few strokes.

It's clear that he has a brand like a zài to know the sea, why can't he write it anyway?

It even gave me the illusion that there was a strange and uncopyable painting in front of me......

sighed.

I don't know what it is.

Just inexplicably wanting to get it done.

This rune gives me the feeling that it is what I mean, but it is also plausible......

Dig out the diary.

It reads:

November 24, light snow

Doom seems to favor me.

Once again, they encountered a dangerous enemy.

The same love xù attributes.

****、

Arrogant......

If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be some legend from another continent......

Why in China?

Is there anything in the city that attracts them?

What's in my body......

He stopped his pen, put away his diary, stared at the mutilated rune again, and turned away.

Leave unfinished pages on the table like this......

The next day, the night.

I added to the unfinished runes.

Day 4.

The runes are once again complete.

Day 7.

The distorted lines of the pen are stuck in the middle of the way.

Day 12.

The incomplete lines are finally filled.

However, the closer the rune came to completeness, the more difficult it seemed to be to put pen to paper, like some kind of barrier.

Gradually, a thin layer of dust was applied to the surface of the paper......

…………………………

The direct point of the sun slides towards the Tropic of Capricorn little by little, and December enters the second half of December.

Winter solstice.

This year's winter snow is particularly frequent, adding a childlike embellishment to the reinforced concrete city.

Nearly a month of vigilance finally ended in nothing, and there were no accidents or supernatural beings, just plain and peaceful, as if the two accidents I had encountered before were just my delusions.

Squeak, squeak-

Stepping into the thin layer of snow on the ground makes a small crumbling sound.

Yumori was wearing a newly purchased pure white plush coat, and his long black hair fluttered behind him with a cheerful run.

The closest sun to us during the year is unfortunately obscured by snowfall, making it impossible to tell if it's bigger than ever.

But maybe it's just a conspiracy to cunningly cover up itself and not really get bigger.

Carrying quick-frozen dumplings in my hand, hoping to rush home before the end of the shortest daylight - our family can only eat dumplings made by the machine to pay tribute to the traditional festival on the winter solstice.

Watching Yui Shou giggle and jump as he walked to avoid the falling snowflakes, I couldn't help but play along. It wasn't until he noticed the strange gaze of the pedestrians that he stopped with a red face, and by the way, he didn't let Yushou continue to play such a mentally retarded game.

"Xiaoli is amazing! Not a single snowflake fell on my face! ”

However, little Lori has clearly been conquered by my superb skills.

A look of adoration.

"Hey, of course!"

The nerve reflexes that have been raised after the ritual, coupled with months of unremitting exercise, dodging the snowflakes are just a small case.

I was beaming.

Ordinary home, ordinary life, just like ordinary every day.

Until the darkness that shatters this qiē comes......

……

Maybe you shouldn't have gone out that day.

- I still think about it from time to time until much later.

But they know that it is just self-deception.

No matter where you hide, what happens will not change.

Perhaps it can only be called 'cause and effect'.

The causal thread, which is unintentionally or intentionally touched, will one day bear bitter fruit......

……

"Finally found you!"

The arrogant young man stood in front of me, but his gaze was turned to the side, as if he had completely ignored my existence.

"And you......"

Tilting his head imperceptibly, perhaps I should be honored for the little attention I parted?

In the realm, snowflakes are dyed black.

It's reminiscent of dirty cotton stained with motor oil.

It makes a popping sound when it falls to the ground, like a poplar dog in the warm and cold season, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"I said I haven't seen you for a few days, do you suffer from severe astigmatism?"

Manipulating the body of the present world to pull Yumori away quickly, I deliberately put on a surprised expression to provoke, but my heart sank to find that the other party's gaze was skewed with our movement in the present world, to be precise, through my body that stayed on Yumori......

"You nasty worm, I'll give you plenty of time to wail after I retrieve the Hallows."

The young man's face was sneering, staring at Wei Shou, who was being pulled by me and staggering around:

"What? Do you think you've appeared in front of me and can escape? Or is it that you haven't seen you for a long time, and your brain has become dull? …… My little cutie? ”

"You...... Who are you? ”

The sound of fear coming from Yumomori's mouth made my heart sink completely.

"Can you see that?"

Grabbing him by the shoulder, my voice leaking out.

"yes...... Can't Xiaoli see it? ”

"Why don't you sue me?!"

I shook and nearly tripped over it, with an expression on my face that I didn't even know what it was.

"Yes...... I wanted to talk to Xiaoli last time...... But I don't know how to say it......"

As if frightened by my terrible look, he stumbled.

"Hmph, that's it! Are you performing a double reed in front of the Son? Or ......"

The arrogant young man only pointed a finger, and the body of Wei Shou, who was dragged by me in the present world, stiffened completely, the young man first showed an impatient look, and then his eyes moved, his brows furrowed slightly, and he stretched again, and suddenly laughed in a low voice:

"Tut-tut...... So my cutie, have you come to this point? Good thing I found you in time...... Otherwise, you will not only be able to remember, but also maintain your own existence, and you will have to spend a lot of time......"

As he said something inexplicable, he suddenly opened his arms under the black priest's suit, and the oily darkness suddenly spread like a wave.

"Since you don't even have the ability to travel through the realm, let me help you!"

And so, in the midst of my horrified gaze in this world.

Wei Shou's small and cute face appeared dazed, little by little, like ink dripping into the ocean, faint and disappeared......

Pedestrians passing by did not seem to be surprised at all.

Or in other words, he didn't care about himself at all and continued with his life.

However, in front of me, there was a person, an extremely important family member, who disappeared out of thin air......
