As the night progresses, there are more and more people on the streets.

We wandered the streets for a while longer.

"It's half past nine...... We should go back, or the subway will stop operating in a while. ”

Qiao Mu proposed. Indeed, I was tired too. Today's purpose is to have a good relationship with incense sticks, and in terms of the current atmosphere, the goal has basically been achieved. The four of us took commemorative photos together, exchanged stickers, and bought souvenirs from Qianshan City.

"Well, okay."

Now try to ask about the 'Stone God' pendant, and she might answer me.

"Wind Chimes, go back. The rest of our school had a place to live, and we had to ask the person in charge to find out where we lived. ”

Traditionally, hotels are double rooms, with a man and a woman. I don't know who the other roommate in my room is, he must already be in the hotel.

"Hmmm......"

The wind chimes seem to have something on their minds, so go back and say hello again.

We went against the flow of people, and all four of us leaned against the leftmost sidewalk.

"Eh, incense."

I accosted the incense stick, and she looked quite happy, so she shouldn't be embarrassed.

"Huh?"

She was indeed a little more lively than she had just been.

"Thank you for coming out with us today, I thought it would be embarrassing."

"No...... Thank you. ”

Her voice was still small, but slightly better than before.

"By the way, I'm very interested in the 'Stone God' pendant on your bag, this is a limited edition."

"yes."

She simply nodded.

"Hang it out like this, aren't you afraid of being stolen?"

"No, will it...... The security in Qianshan City is very good.

"Hmmm......"

"Besides...... 'Stone God' is already out of fashion, and no one will commit a crime for the sake of the out-of-gas limited edition pendant, right......?"

It does make sense, she adds.

"And, it's my talisman."

"Amulet?"

"Well, but he's a bit too big to hang on my body, so I keep it pinned to the zipper of my bag all the time."

"Oh......"

"So I always like to carry a school bag, which makes me feel safer. ”】

"Really? Why amulets? ”

"Ahh......h

When it comes to this topic, her voice is even quieter, and there is a feeling of sadness.

["This is the relic of my deceased father......"]

“……”

Hearing this, I got goosebumps all over my body.

"It's a bit sad, so I don't really want to...... Why do you look so horrible......"

She was also surprised when she saw my expression.

That's for sure.

"Your father's ...... Relic? ”

I confirmed, my voice trembling.

"Hmm...... When I was a child, my father used to accompany me to watch "Dragon", and then I won this limited edition by accident, and I was excited for several days. Seven years ago, there was a fire in his family that killed both parents, and he carried it with him when rescuers found him. ”

“……”

"So I've always treated him as the embodiment of my parents, and I'll talk to him when I'm sad. In fact, I had a fever that day and didn't want to go to physical education class, but my mother insisted on letting me go, so I escaped. ”

“……”

"It is said that when the fire broke out, my mother was still making a bento for me......

I recounted the events with a smile, but her sadness was not hard to hear in her tone.

“…… Did the rescuers say what your father was doing at the time? ”

["It's not too detailed...... When they saw that I was young, they wouldn't tell me anything. ”】

My face was pale, and I knew I shouldn't have such an expression, but I still couldn't control myself.

【Could it be ......】

I gritted my teeth and snorted.

Sick of it.

"Wind Chimes ......"

I went back to the wind chimes...... Huh?

What about wind chimes? And where did the arbor go?

Boom.

During the period of turning back, I was careless and bumped into a person head-on.

"I'm sorry."

Quickly apologize to him, it seems that he bumped into a man.

[The man is very tall, very thin, wearing a mask and a hat, with his hands in the pockets of his yellow trench coat, and his eyes are full of murder. 】

Oops, didn't it him off.

["Lin Benxu, don't try to be the enemy of the god of fear. ”】

The man said to me in a deep voice.

Why did he know my name, I shouldn't have met him, at least in my memory, there was no such person.

"Wait a minute......"

I turned back to him, but the voice was drowned out in the crowd.

There are a lot of people.

Ah, seeing the wind chimes, he struggled his way through the crowd.

Small people do have a disadvantage.

Now I followed the flow of people, trying to catch up with the man in the hat, but I didn't expect the man to suddenly speed up.

？！

"Wind chimes?!"

I shouted, no, the big screen advertising here is too noisy.

The man in the hat pulled out something black and wrapped in a plastic bag from his trench coat...... Wait a minute, this shape, that's a gun ?!

[I was dumbfounded as I watched him approach the wind chimes and turn his gun on her.] 】

"Wind chimes..."

Wind Chimes didn't seem to realize it, and looking at her appearance, she was probably thinking about how to squeeze out of the crowd.

But it is precisely because she is taller than the pedestrians around her that it is easier for men in hats to aim.

"Damn it!"

I ran up and soon tripped over the people in front of me.

Strike!

It hurts...... I fell face to the floor.

"Wind Chimes!!"

I said it desperately.

"Someone fell, wait a minute!"

There was a voice behind him, what seemed to be the voice of an arbor.

Then, there were fewer people around me, and the area around me slowly became empty.

"What's wrong? Xiao Xu? ”

I lay on the ground and looked up, and the wind chimes stood in front of me, looking puzzled.

"Ah......h

I still had palpitations, so I stood up with all my strength, took her hand and ran wildly against the flow of people.

"Wait a minute!"

"I'm sorry! Give it a go! ”

I shouted.

"Arbor! There you are! ”

Wait a minute.

I stopped, looked back, and could no longer find the man in the hat.

If I were to shout "Someone with a gun" right now, it would cause panic throughout the street, and maybe a stampede.

Besides, there was no robbery. In this case, it would have been too easy for him to escape.

I took out my mobile phone and immediately sent a message to Qiao Mu, Ye Xin, and Incense sticks.

Damn it.

I scolded.

I turned into an alley, and there were a lot fewer people here.

"What's wrong?"

The wind chimes seem to be completely out of condition.

I hugged her so hard that I was shaking.

"What are you doing?"

She panicked, then sighed and slowly hugged me.

"Great."

I said reassuringly.

Subsequently, both arbor and incense stick sent a message, and we successfully met at the subway station.
